"Thank you for coming tonight; just wanted to send our very best wishes to Bruce Cooper, who I know is recovering at home now. I think all of us know him and are glad to see that he is on his way back. So Bruce, if you get a chance to tune in to this everybody here at Wells Fargo sends their best to you."
"Obviously it's good to start the season with a win; clearly on November 10th all teams in the country will be a work in progress, and certainly we have a great deal of work ahead of us. But I thought that there were a number of positive things today and it was good to get that first game under our belt. Obviously Jordan was one block shot short of ten, the same number away from a triple-double. Thought he really anchored the middle for us, on 8-10 field goal attempts. He played a really good basketball game. We have to most certainly do a better job of exercising some patience on offense when we don't have a quick strike, rebounding continues to be a challenge for our team, and tonight I thought we just got caught not doing our best transition defense. Those are a couple general thoughts off the top. Anybody have anything?"
What did you think of Jahii?
"I think he played a good college basketball game for the first time out, and obviously he was tremendously excited to take the court tonight. It was wonderful to hear the applause he received when he was announced for the starting lineups. For not having played since the state championship game his senior year, this was the first time to get back out there and I thought he did a heck of a job. Really happy for him and proud of him."
Did you sense any jitters?
"I really didn't. You always have some butterflies when you're a competitor getting ready for a game and that's if you played last night and every time you take the court. You can ask Jahii how he felt, but I'm sure he was anxious and excited and all those emotions. Heck, I was that way and I've been doing this for a long time and that's what happens when you compete, especially opening night. I mean, today this game started at 5:30 and it seems like midnight to me, it was like the longest day ever, I'm an early riser. I think everybody feels that way when you're going to compete, especially opening night."
Can you put into perspective just how big of a night Jordan had out there?
"Yea, I think he continues to get better. I think we really saw him take some positive strides in the last third of the season last year and it was good to see him start in that same direction again this evening."
What do you think of the man-to-man defense tonight?
"I think we have a chance to be a very good defensive team, but like I said the two areas, three areas that really hurt us tonight were transition defense, didn't think we did a real good job of getting matched up, we got caught without good floor balance at times. The second thing was they did a really good job of spacing the floor and driving, I thought we gave up too much penetration. And the third thing is I want to see us defensively rebound the ball better and get loose balls. I thought they were the aggressor to loose balls. So I think we can be a good man-to-man team, but we're certainly not there yet."
Coach, do you sense with Jordan that he's coming in with a chip on his shoulder, asserting himself more aggressive, almost in a sense he's playing angry?
"We never want to play angry; we do want to play focused. I read somewhere many years ago, and I tend to believe it, anger is one letter short of danger. But, if we're focused, that's a good thing. Jordan will be the first to tell you he kind of discovered that about himself that season that when he's aggressive and has that edgy mindset, he has the chance to play his best. And when he's more passive, it just doesn't work out. With Jordan, as with a lot of guys, Jordan is such a gentleman you guys have interviewed him and talked to him, the world's nicest guy off the court, but you have to have your on the court personality as well."
Evan didn't shoot the ball particularly well, but defensively, he's a pretty hardnosed kid.
"He has really been consistently our leading deflector in practice. We keep stat called deflections and there are five categories that make up deflections: deflections, steals, tipped from behind, recover, and block shots. Through the first four weeks of practice, Evan has led us in that category."
Can you talk about how beneficial it is to have a steady backup point guard like Colvin?
"Point guard play is so important in basketball. You see the teams that do well usually have good point guard play. You see the teams that struggle, more often than not; there may be a hole at point guard. It's true in the NBA, it's true in college. You look at the teams with great point guards and those teams do pretty well, whether it's Rondo, or Chris Paul, or Nash through the years. Point guard play is really important. You take that one guy away, or in our case, we have a couple guys playing that position, it makes things more difficult. Another analogy is football. You can be really good in football in a lot of different positions, but if you don't have good quarterback play, it's hard to win."
A lot of the first half was some pretty close action, but you closed it out on a 16-0 run. What got you guys going?
"I think we got better shots, we took better shots. I thought there were too many opportunities tonight that we were impatient and we settled rather than having some more measure of discipline; making an extra pass, looking backside, making sure the ball went into the post first. There were just too many possessions where we settled for a quick shot and I think that one stretch you referred to where they got back in the game and I think at they tied it, our patience and our shot selection on offense wasn't what it needed to be."
Coach, how important was it to set the tone at your home floor, to establish a winning environment here at Wells Fargo?
"I thought it was really important. Tonight was a big game for us, I know that may not register for someone who's a casual observer because it's November 10th. Most people are still focused on football and everything on a Saturday like this in November, but for us this was a really important game. We wanted to get off to a good start, we wanted to make sure we took care of business at home and the one thing you know if you follow college basketball and you're paying attention at all, this is a unique sport. This is a very unique sport. And you better be ready to play every night out. There's not a day or night that goes by that you check the clicker that there isn't some casualties, unexpected casualties. That's the nature of our sport, with the three-point line, foul trouble, there are so many variables. It's a very unique shirt. So for us, this was a very unique game."
You won't play another game for another eight days, is that a good thing, Coach, or a bad thing?
"I think it's a really good thing, because there is so much that we will be able to digest from tonight. We've only been practicing for four weeks; we don't even have everything in yet. We certainly don't have everything polished yet, so we need practice time. We need good quality practice time, where we can build and focus on the fundamentals. Maybe at a later point in this season, you don't want to break continuity if you're going well, but right now we need to practice and we need to practice again and again."
There was a time out right before that run to end the half; did you say anything in particular to the team at that point?
"I just gave them a hard time. I didn't like the way we were playing. I thought we were being soft with the ball, and cute on offense, and not making each other better. They were beating us to loose balls, and getting offensive rebounds. That's not Sun Devil basketball. I shared my opinion with the fellas."
Coach, what was your expectation for the game tonight?
"I expected us to have a lot of energy. I think guys were really excited about playing. I'll say this, and I know I'm kind of detouring from your question; today we always have a shoot-around before the game. I've been doing this for a long time now, and I can't think of many better shoot-arounds than we had today. The guys were incredibly focused and sharp. Guys were really excited to play tonight. We had tremendous preparations; we couldn't have been more ready. But, then you go through the opening game, you better take inventory of what you need to keep working on."
Coach, we saw a lot of interesting lineups, Pateev and Jacobsen played at times together. How much are you still going through the motions and in flux with that stuff?
"We're still in flux. You know a lot of it is going to depend on the opponent. Today, we played a really quick and athletic team; that dictated what we could do. A lot of times they had four guards on the floor, they were playing Coach Wahlberg's dribble-drive offense, where they really had things spaced nicely. A lot of dribble hand offs, dribble hand offs, ball screens, that kind of style offense can influence match ups and your rotation. Ok, anybody who almost has a triple-double, should be an interesting interview right? Thanks guys."
On knowing if he was close to the triple-double...
"Honestly, as I play, I don't really keep track of my stats. I just play hard. It doesn't really matter if I have one block, two block, or eight blocked shots, I just played hard. I don't pay attention to the scoreboard. You can't do that or you'll get a big head."
On coming out aggressive...
"It definitely was not easy. Coach will tell you there have been tough days in practice when I'm not mentally there. There have been lapses in my mental focus but that's one thing that I've been working on. Just to come to every game and every practice and work hard. My goal is to come out and play every game with the mindset of an animal. Coming in and being aggressive. You can't play hard unless you have the right mindset. That was a focus for me in this game. In our exhibition games I struggled a little bit on rebounding. That was a big focus for me today. To go in there and get every board that came close to me. There were a couple that I didn't get but I just went to the board as hard as I could."
On Jahii...
"I love playing with Jahii. He's a great point guard. He's not only quick and can take you off the dribble, but he sees the court better than anyone I know. I love having a true point guard. Last year we struggled a little bit. Chris Colvin stepped up from a two to be a point guard. That was a tough transition for him but he did a great job last year. He played some point today and he did a fantastic job but it's nice to have a player that has played point guard his whole career. He sees the court so well. I love playing with Jahii."
On sensing any nervousness from Jahii...
"Jahii is a pro. He comes every day, every game, every practice with a mindset that he's going to take it to someone. If there was nervousness, I couldn't sense it. He knows what he can do. I think he's hungry because he had to sit out last year. That's tough for any player, especially when he didn't choose that. That was put upon him. He just came hungry. He's been hungry every practice and tonight he ate.
On Jahii coming back after sitting out a year...
"It's tough mentally because you're there every day working hard and he doesn't get to play games. That's where it all comes together. Working hard in practice is tough. To come every day and work hard when you know you're not playing is tough. I commend him for that; same with Bo (Barnes) and Evan (Gordon). They came hungry. They were out last year because they transferred but they worked hard in the off-season. They worked hard all last year and it's really starting to show."
On the team being "hungry"...
"We take everything personally; rankings, what people are saying about us. We take it all personally. If you don't take it personally, you shouldn't be out on the court. This year we're hungry. We have a need to win. We have parts that we were missing. I think that we have a really great team and we have really great team chemistry. We're not only just teammates, we're friends and we're brothers. We look out for each other. I think you can see that in the way that we play. We love playing with each other. It's fun."
On establishing a home court advantage early on...
"Our goal was to start some momentum. I feel like there were moments where we didn't play as well as we could as a team. There was a lull, especially in the first half. Coach told us in a huddle that our play early on wasn't good enough. We had to go and we had to work hard. We had to push the ball and we did. It paid off. Those are the moments that you look and say, `That's what Sun Devil basketball is about.' That's what we're going to do this year."
On playing man-to-man defense and zone defense...
"I'll play whatever Coach wants me to play. I've played man-to-man most of my career so I'm more comfortable in man. It keeps me close to the hoop so I can get those blocked shots. I think that's a big reason why I was able to get those tonight. I don't have to close out to the corner as much. I love playing man, but if Coach wants to switch back to zone, he's the coach."
On playing against a smaller opponent...
"We knew that going into this game. Coach has really made a big point to going inside, driving into the paint, and finding the open man. Because they're so small, the only thing they can do is collapse, which leaves multiple guys open. I got a couple dunks because my man collapsed onto the driver. They just kicked it to me and I had a dunk. That was a big focus. To not only drive it, but to get it inside and work inside-out."
"Words can't really explain how it felt when I got out there. I was glad to be out there, I felt the excitement. I felt like a kid in a candy store, pretty much for the most part. Seeing my family, the crowd, and my teammates getting excited for me, it made me feel great."
Were you nervous?
"No, I felt comfortable. We had a couple closed scrimmages, so I was able to get my feel for the game. So I wouldn't say i was nervous, I just came out there and played. I think I played pretty well. I tried to push the tempo up a little bit. We are still working on the tempo, just I didn't want to go too fast at times. I tried to get my teammates involved early, so the defense couldn't help on everyone. I also tried to attack the basket when I could."
How did you feel when you woke up?
"It was a little bit overwhelming for me. I just woke up and said, God had blessed me to be able to suit up and play Division I basketball. Me being a high school recruit, I knew I was going to be able to play college basketball, but not knowing here being this is my home town. I was overwhelmed the whole day, just excited. I got text messages from family members and seeing how excited they were. Even from my teammates, i seen they were excited for me as well."
On strong and weak areas of the team...
"I think that when people say we play a slow temple, guys tend to try to prove them wrong and go a little bit too fast. I tend to do that myself, and everyone else went a little too fast. If we have fast pace, then have slow patience, we will be fine. But I think overall we played a good game. We came out here and went for the juggler and we if get our pace and our transition up, we would be an outstanding team."
On Jordan...
"Words can't explain. I watched him play lackadaisical in practice, then there are times when he just goes out there and no one can score on him. With the size advantage that he had, he utilized it, and helped us tremendously on defense. He gets rebounds, strong with the ball, so he's just a dominate force, especially being 7'3 and so mobile."
Playing along with Evan (Gordon)...
"He definitely takes the pressure off of me. Guys can't pressure the basketball on me, they can't trap me as much, because he's a ball handler as well. He also hits open jump shots, and is able to get my open shots. He makes my game a little easier to play."
On having eight days until the next game....
I would say it's 50/50. We would like to get out there and play as soon as we can, to get our flow and momentum going. At the same time we have different things to work on. I think a week of practice will help us, and give us a lot of rest, and be fresh for Sunday.
On playing the game vs. scrimmage game...
"No, because the scrimmages we are still trying to win the game, and the refs were still refereeing. We were still trying to compete. So the with the crowd, you have to do a little more hand signals, and can't really call out plays in the gym. I think i was fine, as well as the guy, just a different atmosphere."
On the biggest thing he has to work on...
"Getting to more two level ball screens. Hitting more open jump shots, hitting free throws, getting the big man Jordan the ball a little more early, so they can't really clasped on him down the stretch. Just playing better defense overall, there's always room for improvement."
On Chris (Colvin) coming off the bench...
"He's great. I think he's a back up 1, 2, 3 and anything else the coach ask of him. He comes with a great attitude, leadership, he's played the game, so he can tell me and Evan everything we can't see. A lot of guys comes in and try to do too much, or they fall below the level, but he comes in an even it all out. He's a nice little energetic bunny for us."

Their Eyes Were Watching God
by Zora Neale Hurston
Their Eyes Were Watching God Chapter 5 Summary
- Joe isn't a romantic poet, but he at least treats Janie well, getting her nice food and candy. He seems to want to spoil her as much as Logan wanted to make her work hard.
- When Janie looks at Joe, she's reminded of white people; he's slightly portly like them and unafraid of new, strange places. So far, Janie's proud of her new husband.
- They arrive in the highly anticipated town and find it disappointing. It's much smaller than they imagined. Joe demands to talk to the mayor.
- A man named Amos Hicks, upon seeing Janie, pretends to be the mayor. He thinks Janie is Joe's daughter, but when he finds out the truth, he drops the façade since he's definitely not getting anywhere with the pretty, married girl.
- Joe discovers that the town doesn't have a mayor yet.
- Hick directs Joe and Janie to a house that they can rent until they are settled and get their own place.
- Joe and Janie head off, but Hicks and the other townsmen are all ready envying Joe for having Janie.
- Hicks, in particular, is jealous and starts blabbering on about how popular he is with the ladies. Hicks thinks it's a "good thing he [Joe Starks] married her befo' she seen me. Ah kin be some trouble when Ah take uh notion."
- The town is named Eatonville after the captain who donated land. The captain lives on a neighboring piece of land, and Joe ventures to talk to Captain Eaton, seeking to buy more land from him for the town.
- Most of the village follow Joe just to see him get ridiculed.
- Meanwhile, Hicks doubles back to the house that Joe is renting to try his luck with Janie. He thinks the world of his manliness and grows surly when Janie doesn't respond to him. She basically tells him that he talks too much. Looks like Joe doesn't have any competition around here.
- Later that evening, Hicks has a conversation with his friend, Coker. Coker know Hicks didn't succeed with Janie, so he lets Hicks go on about how Janie isn't so pretty after all.
- Coker tells Hicks that Joe succeeded in buying 200 acres of land from the captain in cash. Joe Starks plans to build a store and post office on the land. Eatonville previously only consisted of 50 acres, so Joe Starks just became the big man in town.
- Hicks gets jealous and doubts that Joe will actually start a post office. Hicks is sure that white people won't let a black man run a post office.
- Coker, on the other hand, seems to thinks that Joe Starks is capable of a lot and doesn't find it wise to underestimate him.
- That evening, Joe asks around about the location of a sawmill. He wants to start building a store immediately. He knows that, in order to grow, Eatonville needs a store, which can also serve as a gathering place and the heart of the town. This guy is a natural urban planner.
- The next day, Joe organizes a town meeting. The men of the town decide to get together to make two roads to run through Eatonville. Joe also hires some men to build his store.
- Joe's business skills bring in new residents, so Joe is already making a return on his investment by selling off lots for homes. Joe also starts selling tons of goods from the store before the building even has a roof.
- For the grand opening of the store, Joe wants Janie on display. He wants to make sure that she always looks better than all of the customers, too.
- Joe is magnanimous and gives out free drinks, cheese, and crackers to the customers.
- Tony Taylor is so overwhelmed with joy at the progress of the town that he gives an impromptu speech thanking Joe. He is laughed at by his fellows because he doesn't know how to give an effective speech.
- Nevertheless, Joe responds with his own speech in which he says that the town needs a mayor (what a slick politician!) and welcome to his store…
- The town shows their pleasure by unanimously voting him mayor.
- The cheerful crowd wants a thank-you speech from Mrs. Mayor Starks, but Joe doesn't let Janie speak, saying that he didn't marry her for her speaking ability and her place is in the home.
- Janie didn't really care to make a speech, but it bothers her that Joe didn't even give her a chance to decide. It leaves her cold that night.
- Joe is full of plans for town (and full of himself). He insists that he can't run the store because he'll be busy with more important things. Joe is determined that Janie must run the store, despite her objections.
- The town continues advancing. Joe arranges for street lamps to be brought in and makes a big deal about lighting them. He arranges a party around it, complete with a barbecue.
- The lighting of the street lamps is surrounded by religious imagery and hymns. But, later that night, Janie reveals that she feels Joe's role as mayor makes their relationship strained and unnatural. Joe disagrees, saying she should be happy because it makes a "big woman" out of her. The conversation ends with Janie feeling lonely.
- Janie soon learns that being Mrs. Mayor means being kept at a distance from the other women in town. Instead of being friends with the local women, she is envied by them.
- Joe is also a bit of a town bully. He somehow has a way of forcing people to do things for him, like dig drainage ditches around the streets by his store.
- In every way, Joe sets himself up as the master of the town. It harkens back to the times of slavery. Joe has a huge, white two-story house, making everyone else's house look like a servant's.
- Joe acquires a fancy spittoon cup that most people would be proud to display as a vase. He doesn't stop there, either. He gets a small flowery one for Janie. Joe's conspicuous displays of wealth make the townspeople feel cheated and envious.
- They become increasingly resentful because they feel one of their own (a black man) shouldn't act haughtily.
- After Joe catches a man, Henry Pitts, trying to steal some of his ribbon cane (candy) and drives him out of town, the townspeople start gossiping about their mayor behind his back.
- Some point out that he's getting rich off of the rest of them.
- They basically accuse him of loving to hear his own speeches, being bossy, and being arrogant because of his education. Someone observes that he changes things around him but never lets himself be changed.
- The townspeople also disapprove of the way Joe treats his wife. Janie is kept under certain constraints. She must keep her hair bound and up whenever she's in public, and Joe rages at her if she makes a mistake in the store.
- Janie seems to take Joe's tyranny without missing a beat; because they don't know any better, the townspeople decide it's because she and Joe "understand one another."
- Overall, Joe Starks acts like the king of the town, and despite disliking him, the townspeople don't challenge him.

|Annmarie Timmins, age 9 (left), with her brother on vacation
in Franconia Notch, N.H.
It takes courage for people who live with mental illness to tell others about it.
Some people tell no one. Some are selective— telling only a few family or friends.
Others "go public," embracing maximum vulnerability, particularly if it extends to the workplace.
Two spectacular profiles in courage have arisen this week.
One is Lisa Halpern, who wrote "What It's Like to Have Schizophrenia," published in the latest issue of Ladies Home Journal, It's an incredible story that details on how she became lost in her own reality and then came to terms a with diagnosis.
"I learned so much, I decided I wanted to help others who'd been through a similar nightmare," Lisa writes. "Now I have a full-time job working with people who have mental-health issues. I teach, arrange events, speak to groups and mentor patients. I want them to know that recovery is possible."
The other is Annmarie Timmins, a reporter for the Concord Monitor in New Hampshire.
The newspaper recently published a four-day series, "In Crisis" about the state's mental health care system. Some reader comments questioned whether the number of people living with mental illness is really as high as "about" one in four adult Americans.
In response, Annmarie wrote a personal story: "I'm one of the 26 percent with mental illness."
"I have been hospitalized twice for 'suicidal ideation' most recently for eight days in 2009 with a diagnosis of 'major depressive order and anxiety disorder,' according to my records," she wrote.
"I take four medications a day and have my counselor's name and number in my emergency contacts on my cell phone."
It was the first time Annemarie had shared her story publicly. Not even many of her family knew.
"I cannot believe what changes this story has begun even within a couple of days," Annemarie later wrote in an exchange of emails with NAMI. "I've heard from hundreds of people from all over the country who said the piece has encouraged them to ask for the help they need. I've had lawmakers write to say the piece put a new face they hadn't seen on mental illness. My own family members have written to say they too struggle with illness but never knew how to ask for help."
"I think that bodes well for all of us who struggle. Out of nearly 400 responses, I have not received a single critical or unkind note. I wish I could spread this support to everyone who is struggling."
She already has.
By sharing their stories, Lisa and Annemarie have already inspired and given support to more people than either of them can imagine. The inspiration extends not just to the 26 percent who live with mental illness, but to our larger communities as well.

›› Storify: View USC player's apologies for anti-El Paso tweet
›› Storify: Hyundai Sun Bowl: Positive tweets from USC players
Social media can be a dangerous place to air your feelings, especially when you are a young college athlete.
Two University of Southern California football players recently received plenty of backlash after they used Twitter to bash El Paso, only to have to apologize the same way.
›› Sun Bowl Mania blog
The latest incident occurred Thursday when Leonard Williams, a freshman defensive tackle for the USC Trojans, apologized to El Pasoans after he used an expletive to describe the city Wednesday night.
Less than a month ago, freshman linebacker Tony Burnett had to issue an apology after trashing El Paso.
USC is in El Paso to play Georgia Tech on Monday in the 79th Hyundai Sun Bowl.
"It has become a PR nightmare for USC," said Jimmy Sanderson, an assistant professor in the Department of Communication Studies at Clemson University. "I think there is an overall lack of understanding of how social media works and how things can blow up."
Sanderson has studied social media's role in college athletics and co-wrote "The Positives and Negatives of Twitter: Exploring How Student-Athletes Use Twitter and Respond to Critical Tweets."
Sanderson said while responsibility falls on Williams, members of USC's coaching and administrative staff should have given better guidance.
"Frankly, after the first incident they should have sat everybody down and told them to tweet only positive stuff about the bowl game if anything at all," Sanderson said. "They didn't use it as a teaching moment. If they did, it would have probably encouraged the kids to embrace El Paso."
During a news conference on Thursday, Trojans coach Lane Kiffin said sorry once again. He also apologized after Burnett's tweet.
"I'm very sorry. We've talked at length about this," Kiffin said. "But when you have 110 kids, unfortunately sometimes one of them screws up. Another apology was sent out. This certainly doesn't reflect the way our staff or our team feels about this. I'm really upset about it."
Asked about stopping the tweets, Kiffin said, "You have got to be careful about getting into people's rights."
However, Sanderson said Kiffin and other USC leaders should accept more responsibility.
"Those feelings of apathy are probably coming from the top," Sanderson said. "I can imagine USC isn't happy to be in El Paso just based on what their expectations were. But that isn't any fault of the city."
USC had come into the season as The Associated Press' No. 1 team, but a 7-5 record dropped them out of the Top 25.
When USC players learned the school had accepted an invitation to the Sun Bowl to play Georgia Tech, Burnett tweeted: "Georgia Tech!? El Paso, Texas!? New Years Eve!? FML"
FML basically translates to "screw my life."
When his tweet caught the attention of El Pasoans and the media, he deleted it and sent out an apology.
The Trojans arrived in El Paso on Wednesday and the trip started with smiles and dancing at the airport, but it ended on a sour note with Williams' tweet.
Channel 7-KVIA reported that Williams tweeted, "Out here in El Paso. (Expletive) city but glad I can enjoy this moment with the USC family."
By Thursday morning, Williams had deleted his tweet and gone on to apologize.
"Sorry about what I said last night. It came out wrong. I'm grateful to be a part of this bowl and looking forward to a great game," Williams tweeted.
He added, "I was saying I'm just proud to be here with my family."
Williams also responded to individuals, apologizing and trying to explain his mistake.
"@PageWantsFun I took it down because it was not how I really am and shouldn't be presented in that way," he tweeted.
"I also think the people in El Paso are very welcoming and made me feel at home. Once again I apologize for speaking with out thinking."
Williams wasn't the only USC player to tweet about El Paso on Wednesday night. However red-shirt freshman fullback Soma Vainuku's tweets praising the Sun City did not draw as much attention.
"El Paso pretty cool place," Vainuku tweeted.
He also commented on $3.09 gas prices and said he wished fuel costs were like that in California.
Vainuku instagramed a photo of the inside of an elevator being decorated in USC wallpaper and tweeted "El Paso showing some love!"
Other USC players followed Vainuku's example on Thursday. Senior safety T.J. McDonald tweeted, "These people out here in El Paso showin mad love!"
Sanderson said USC could use Vainuku and McDonald as a way to turn things around.
"They need to use those kids as an example and model for the other players," he said.
But Williams' tweet wasn't the only thing that upset El Pasoans.
The Trojans were apparently an hour late for the annual Sheriff's Posse Dinner, according to 600 ESPN El Paso Radio's twitter.
"Bad form #USC. Hour late for Sheriff's Posse Dinner. #GaTech coach Paul Johnson took team & left. Can't blame him," 600 ESPN tweeted and added a photo of empty seats.
Sun Bowl officials got on their official Twitter account Wednesday night to explain why USC was late.
"Here's what happened: USC practiced at SAC, for out of towners that's on the other side of town," the Sun Bowl tweeted. "Then practice ran late and they had to haul 100+ people to the other side of town. Best scenario? No. Did GT leave? Yes."
The Sun Bowl added: "Now let's move on, nothing to see here. Tomorrow we have GT at hospital visits and both teams meeting real heroes at Fort Bliss #SunBowl."
After the negative tweets and dinner fiasco, many El Paso football fans have vowed on Twitter and Facebook to support Georgia Tech during Monday's game.
That might have been the reason for Yellow Jackets freshman receiver Travin Henry's tweet: "They showing us more love in El Paso than they do in the A(tlanta)."
During his research, Sanderson noted that not many school sports information directors address social media, but said that in today's world of instant information, they should.
"A lot of policies are very vague and tell them to not do anything inappropriate," Sanderson said. "Not realizing what is inappropriate for a 35-year-old athletic director may not strike a 20-year-old athlete as inappropriate."
And it can never be too late for USC to regain some fans.
"It's definitely more difficult (to be a crowd favorite) but they still have an opportunity," Sanderson said. "They should come up with a USCLovesEP hash tag,"
Sanderson emphasized that some fans were already forgiving Williams after he apologized.
"There is still a lot of time for them to turn this to a positive," Sanderson said. "Now I don't know if they will do that. I suspect they may just ask the players to shut down the tweets until after the game."

Live stream events debut with intimate conversation with Dion DiMucci
CLEVELAND (July 1, 2010) – For the first time the world will be able to watch and participate in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's public programs held regularly in the Museum's Foster Theater.
The first live streamed event will be a Hall of Fame series featuring inductee Dion DiMucci on Wednesday, July 7 at 6:30 p.m. EST. The interview will be conducted by Dave Marsh and the Rock Hall's Vice President of Education and Public Programs, Dr. Lauren Onkey. To view the live stream visit: http://rockhall.com/event/hall-of-fame-series-dion/. The event will begin with a special hour-long film done in conjunction with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum President Terry Stewart about Dion's memories of the Winter Dance Party tour of 1959 with Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper.
Over the past 15 years, countless amazing moments have taken place in the intimate 160 seat Foster Theater.

These enlightening and in-depth interviews have until now only been available to those who have been able to attend the live events. Now, courtesy of the generous support of Gregg and Madeline Foster, the technology in the theater has been upgraded to include three robotic cameras to capture all of the rare, once-in-a-lifetime moments that happen in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's Foster Theater. At the same time, a grant from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation in New York enabled the Museum to redesign its official website, www.rockhall.com, and stream this content.
The Rock Hall has FREE educational offerings year round. Rock and Roll Night School gives interested adults the opportunity to expand their rock and roll-related knowledge, Songwriters to Soundmen: The People Behind the Hits gives the audience a look at the talented people who work with the artists and bands we have come to know and love.

|2009 Bowman AFLAC High School All-American Baseball Card Set
|Topps inserted 13 High School All-American Baseball Players in the 09 Bowman Draft Picks and Prospects set.
All cards are serial numbered to 248 or less making these some nice pulls in addition to the Bowman Chrome Prospect autographs that are inserted 1 per box. Look below for the most current price online.
Check out the list below and see how much these High School student's autographs are selling for on eBay.
This years Bowman Draft Baseball should be a cool product given that Topps originally announced that there would be 9 AFLAC High School All-Americans in the set....then a few days later announced 4 additional auto's #/248 or less. These autograph cards will be inserted over and above the 1 Prospect Auto that appears in each box. So needless to say some boxes will be hitting 2 (or possibly more) autograph cards per box. Not a bad deal considering these AFLAC High-School All-American baseball players are some of the best players in the 2009 MLB draft.

Stands straight next to my desk
Excellent briefcase, perfect weight performance ratio, leather smells great. Subtle purple stitching makes it manly. I chose the Tacconi because I wanted one that would stand up straight next to my desk or seat instead of wimpely slumping, and this has little rubber feet that seemed to indicate it can do so. And it does, with or without a small tablet or laptop inside.
Other briefcases open flat in a TSA approved manner, the Bosca does not, but that was less important to me.
Only disadvantage is that it is not made in the USA, so I gave it four stars instead of the five it would have received otherwise.

See action pictures as you follow through the 2006 - 2007 Lady Lions Basketball Season.
I found a lot of time and energy on my hands after leaving the coaching ranks. While on a vacation I picked up a camera and have never looked back. Today I hardly go anywhere without a camera in my hand. I started shooting my kids sports, moved in High School, College and Professional Sports. Today I enjoy a wide array of photography from Professional sports to portrait work. Over the years I have aquired so many photos but became frustrated with no place to display the photographs I had taken. I started looking for a publishing company in which I could place my photos in a book and display. I took a chance on Blurb and produced a book of my family photos from a one year period. That book is still on a table at my lake house. It is the first thing that everyone picks up when they enter the home. Your book will be one that you will wish to place in a prominent place so that all entering your home will see!

Earthly Pleasures
THE PARTY Heavy-hitters basked in the cast of an extravagant evening feting the future welfare of our planet at the home of Larry Gagosian. Themed "The Technology of Earth," the dazzling affair celebrated art and technology's influence in promoting the popular cause. THE SCENE Guests knew they were in for an odyssey when the poolside soiree began at twilight with libations and epic sounds by the imaginative pairing of arbiters of cool Karen O and Patti Smith. As the sun descended, vegetarian delicacies, courtesy of Gjelina, were enjoyed by luminaries like Cindy Crawford, Emma Roberts, Tobey Maguire and Bella Heathcote. Betwixt aural bliss and palate-pleasing aplenty, invitees sauntered inside to gasp at the spectacle that is Gagosian's art collection. THE HIGHLIGHTS After the plates had been cleared, Pharrell hit the mic to jolt partygoers from their perches. When the rapper belted out "Blurred Lines," all the gussied-up ladies took it a step further by letting their hair loose and jumping onstage. As all parties must, the revelry reluctantly ended, but exiting attendees were appeased with apropos swag: iPad minis. Photography by Billy Farrell/BFAnyc.com

|Vandal women visit Denver
The Idaho women's basketball team will face Denver for the first time in program history on Thursday, as the teams meet in Denver's Magness Arena for a 6 p.m. (Pacific) tipoff.
The Vandals are looking to get back to .500 in Western Athletic Conference play, as a 91-85 setback against Utah State on Jan. 5 left the team at 1-2 in the league and 4-10 overall. Denver, meanwhile, is off to a fast start in its first WAC season. The Pioneers are 3-1 in WAC play and own the largest scoring margin of any team in WAC play, at +9.5. Denver is 8-7 overall under first-year head coach Kerry Cremeans, who was previously the associate head coach at Auburn University.
Denver is led by Morgan Van Riper-Rose, who averages 14.1 points per game. Emiko Smith and Jordan Johnston each add 8.1 points per game, and Smith also averages 5.4 assists per game. Maiya Michel averages 7.4 points and 8.9 rebounds per game for the Pioneers.
Idaho's balanced scoring attack features three players who average in double-figures. Junior Alyssa Charlston leads the team in points, rebounds and field goal percentage, averaging 13.9 points and 7.5 boards while shooting 47.0 percent from the field. Freshman Christina Salvatore is scoring 11.6 points per game and is averaging 3.0 made 3-pointers per game, the second-most in the WAC and 15th most in NCAA Division I. Sophomore Stacey Barr adds 10.1 points and 4.9 rebounds per game for the Vandals.
Idaho and Denver are two of the better scoring teams in the WAC. The Vandals rank second in WAC games with 79.3 points per game, while Denver's 78.8 points per game in WAC play rank third.
Fans can follow the action Thursday with a live video stream on VandalXtra or live stats on www.GoVandals.com. The Vandals will wrap up their road trip on Jan. 12 at New Mexico State with a 5:30 (Pacific) tipoff.

Editorial - UNC board should listen to chairman, say no to tuition increase
Published: Sunday, December 15, 2013 at 8:21 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, December 15, 2013 at 8:21 p.m.
It is refreshing to read that the chairman of the University of North Carolina Board of Governors has said he opposes an undergraduate tuition increase for the system next year. Rising costs may not have knocked UNC-Chapel Hill from its spot atop Kiplinger's annual "Best Value in Public Colleges" list, but they threaten to put the cost of a four-year state university out of reach for many students.
The Triangle Business Journal reported on Thursday that Peter Hans, chairman of the board that oversees the UNC system, advocates putting the brakes on tuition increases that have been imposed to offset a portion of the state cuts to public higher education in North Carolina.
"Tuition in North Carolina is still low compared to other states, but I'll say it again, the middle class needs a break," the publication quoted him as saying. "As such, we need a combination of continued public investment and more efficient university operations to keep tuition low and the quality of education high." Let's hope that Hans can persuade his fellow board members
Hans noted that where state money once made up about 80 percent of state university budgets, it's now down to about two-thirds.
Kiplinger, a publisher of business forecasts and personal finance advice based in Washington, named UNC-CH its top public university value for 2014, besting a competitive group that includes the University of Virginia, the University of Florida, the University of Michigan and California's two best-known state universities, UCLA and UC-Berkeley, among other contenders. Low cost and financial aid to help students afford college were two of the numerous factors considered. Also making the top-100 list were UNC Wilmington, at No. 28; N.C. State University, the School of the Arts and UNC-Asheville.
That's good representation, and a testament to the state's long history of striving to put higher education within reach of more students. But over the past couple of decades the N.C. General Assembly has funded a smaller percentage of university operations, leaving the UNC system to raise tuition to cover the gap. In doing so, the state has pushed aside its constitutional mandate to make access to public universities free "as far as practicable."
At UNCW, in-state students will get a slight break next year. Trustees voted to increase student fees slightly and raise room and board rates, but no tuition increase is expected for residents of North Carolina. The story is not the same for out-of-state students, who will pay considerably more, courtesy of a legislative mandate.
So far, financial aid has filled the gap for many UNC students, but many have dropped out or reduced class load, which in turn delays graduation. Hans knows the system cannot sustain itself if this trend continues. Universities have been forced to rethink much of what they have done for years with an eye on efficiency, and that is a positive development. But students and their families cannot continue to shoulder the burden.
One reason North Carolina's universities rank as "best values" is the philosophy that a college education should be accessible to anyone who meets admission standards. We hope that lawmakers will take Hans' advice and work with the board of governors to keep costs low and to improve our well-respected state universities.

Jeremic Scores Eight to Lead Men's Water Polo to Win Over Navy
PRINCETON (10/12/13) – Freshman Jovan Jeremic had the best game of his young career, scoring eight times, as the 12th-ranked Princeton men's water polo team improved to a perfect 6-0 in the CWPA Southern Division standings with a 16-11 win over Navy on Saturday night at DeNunzio Pool. Jeremic scored two of his eight goals during a three-goal spurt late in the third quarter that turned a one-goal Tiger lead into a four-goal edge and gave Princeton some breathing room entering the final frame.
Princeton never trailed in the game but couldn't shake Navy until that outburst in the third quarter. The Tigers opened up two-goal leads of 4-2 and 6-4 in the first half but Navy drew even at 6-6 in the second quarter before goals from Kayj Shannon and Drew Hoffenberg in the final minute gave Princeton an 8-6 halftime lead.
Jeremic scored early in the third to stretch Princeton's lead to 9-6, but two quick Navy goals brought the Midshipmen within one before goals from Jeremic, Shannon and Jeremic again gave Princeton a 12-8 lead after three.
Jeremic's previous game high has been three goals in a game, which he has accomplished six times this season. His seven goals ties him with Chris Gratian for second on the list of most goals in a game. The Princeton record for goals in a game belongs to Robert Urquhart, who scored 10 in a win over George Washington.
Hoffenberg scored four times and Shannon added two markers. Shannon, Jamie Kuprenas and Thomas Nelson each added a single goal. Ben Dearborn started the game and played a quarter before Alex Gow came on for the final three and earned the win.
Princeton is now 6-0 in Southern Division play with two league games left on the schedule. The first comes tomorrow afternoon at Bucknell and the second on Oct. 25 against George Washington. A win in either of those games will lock up the division's regular season title. Princeton is now 13-3 overall and has swept its regular season series with Navy for the second time in three seasons.

Take the RTD Boulder Bike Parking Survey and win a Bike Pump
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
From Boulder Biking and Pedestrian newsletter
Do you currently (or want to) park your bike at the Boulder Transit Center at 14th & Walnut streets? The City of Boulder, Boulder County and Regional Transit District (RTD) are working to improve the downtown Boulder Transit Center area. The project goals include improving the transit riding experience, bicycle access and parking. The Bike Parking Survey only takes a few minutes to complete and your input will help improve bike parking and the overall downtown transit rider experience.
Complete the survey on or before Dec. 7 to enter for a chance to win one of 10 Topeak mini morph frame bike pumps.
The project team is considering a design that would provide a secure mass bike parking solution: an enclosed bike storage cage that would protect bikes from theft and weather. This bike parking area would be fenced-in and equipped with a keycard pass only available to members. Within the shared bicycle parking storage area, patrons would be able to individually lock their bicycles to racks. This proposed design would remove some of the individual lockers for the construction of the cage. It would provide a greater number of patrons with access to secured and covered long-term bicycle parking. Bike parking racks and lockers will still be available outside of the bike cage, as well.

Enthusiastic? Yeah, no
3 comments
Your totally right his tenure tells it all. There will be an outcry if Spo and or Ireland isn't let go. If Ireland does stay and he continues to bring in cowboy retreads, more de, or doesn't draft a top tier qb, a receiving te, or s; then this team will continue to be bottom dwellers for many years.
Couldn't disagree with you more. I believe we finally have the talent we have lacked. TS has righted this sinking ship and should be given one more year to see how far he can take this team. I agree that his tenure has been suspect but he seems to have turned things around and with the drafting of a quality QB, this team could be great. I believe our offense is a top tier offense and our D is playing great again. The lockout severely screwed the Phins and with more prep, this team would not have started out that bad. Sporano has earned one more year.
No Luck for the Dolphins! Just another sub .500 team in 2012 is on the horizon! It's not the Coach, but he needs fired as well; it's the front office, and the owner. The moves the Dolphins have made post Shula/Robbie have sunk the Dolphins into the current state of funk. Once a proud franchise with a winning tradition has now become a middle of the pack team. The top 2 indicators of this: 1. The Dolphins have never beaten the expansion team, or the current improved Houston Texans. 2. The inability to find a starting caliber QB since Marino which is a prime example that the people running the team are buffoons when it comes to assessing talent! I've watched this go on long enough supporting the team always hoping they can figure it out. I'll always be a fan of the team, but I will not buy another ticket, jersey, hat, fathead, est. to support this team unless it has Super bowl champs written on it.

BEFORE Barry Hersom even started his new post as principal of Colchester's first academy, he was making headlines.
He is the bold headteacher who introduced compulsory after-school lessons in an attempt to help those pupils who were struggling with their grades.
A month into the job and he's still making news, not that he's bothered about that in the slightest.
He says: "I won't allow pupils to fail and I will do all that I can to make sure they don't."
Whatever it takes!
The compulsory lessons are being extended to half term, although he does admit there is be a bit of a "carrot" in the form of free chocolate for pupils taking part.
The school is also putting on taxis for those who find it hard to get there without the normal bus service.
He adds: "The staff and students have been really good about it and I think most see it for the opportunity that it is.
"In fact, overall it has been a brilliant start. We know there will be difficult times ahead, but half a term in and we're doing well.
"The new uniforms have made a real difference and one of my highlights has been meeting all of the Year 11s."
That's each of them, individually, in the school library to ask them about their school work and what their aspirations are when they leave.
When I spoke to him, he had got through 60, with 118 still to go.
It's the kind of personal touch Mr Hersom has brought to all his schools in his long career.
Brought up in Newham in London's Docklands when, as Mr Hersom says, 'it wasn't fashionable', he puts his own success down to a change in the system which led to his school turning from a secondary modern to a comprehensive.
"With the change in the system, we had the opportunity to take exams," he says proudly. "So few people went on to higher education then, but it was that comprehensive education which gave me my chance."
Starting off at an all-boys school in Stratford, East London, Mr Hersom admits he deliberately applied for jobs where he could learn more.
His first senior teaching post was in Tower Hamlets, then he went back to Newham to become deputy head of the largest school in the country with more than 2,000 pupils.
"I enjoy a challenge," he smiles.
Which is what he got at his first headship at a school in special measures in Waltham Forrest. "I took it on deliberately," Mr Hersom adds.
"I was fortunate to have a profession, but most of my contemporaries were not. I don't want any child or school to fail."
He left eight years later with the school one of the highest performing in the area.
This kind of success story is littered through his CV and it's those experiences and achievements which will almost certainly stand him in good stead for the challenges that lie ahead at Colchester Academy.
He says: "I thought I had one more job in me, to help another school, and I'd never been a part of starting up a new academy."
Which is why he's here.
With its new status, Colchester Academy has greater independence from Essex County Council, with the main responsibility for running the school lying with Colchester Institute.
Essex University is a co-sponsor and NHS North East Essex is a strategic partner.

Reviews for Pear-Lime Gelatin Salad
"Easy to make, easy to slip in substitutions and delicious! I used regular whipping cream with no sweeteners and it was plenty sweet. Very light and fun!"
"This was simply delicious, easy to make and turned out perfect. I already have the ingredients to make again. Also very simple ingredients, nothing exotic to have to find!! I love this site and to have my own recipe box."
"This is the best lime gelatin dish I've ever tasted! It is amazing that just a few simple ingredients can make something so delicious. I used low fat cream cheese and it was still good ..... even my son who doesn't like fruit ate some, and my husband had seconds! Very light and fluffy. I used an 8 x 8 square glass pan and it came out perfect."
"This is a winner!! I took this to a family Christmas party and it was a hit. It is by far the best jello salad I have ever had."
"Loved this one! Took it to a Church Covered Dish Dinner and it was a tremendous hit. Not one bite left to bring home. Will definitley be making this one again. Only thing I did differently is that I did not toat the pecans; don't care for them. It was great without that step as well."

Storm's End
this wiki
- Cersei Lannister: "I seem to recall he laid siege to Storm's End for the better part of a year."
- Olenna Tyrell: "All he laid siege to was the banquet table in the command tent."
- — Cersei Lannister and Olenna Tyrell discuss her son Mace's command of the Siege of Storm's End.[src]
Storm's End is the ancestral seat of House Baratheon, and one of three major castles currently held by the royal house, the others being the Red Keep in King's Landing and the island fastness of Dragonstone. Stannis Baratheon is the current Lord of Storm's End. Storm's End is a formidable fortress, located on the southeastern coast of Westeros overlooking Shipbreaker Bay.
Storm's End's construction was attributed to Durran, a legendary figure of the Age of Heroes, who earned the hatred of the sea god and the wind goddess when he took Elenei, daughter of the two gods, as his wife. In rage, the two gods sent massive storms to destroy Durran's keep. Durran defied the gods and built a larger and more formidable keep, but it was also destroyed. Durran's seventh keep, built allegedly with the aid of Bran the Builder, withstood the rage of Elenei's parents and gained the name of Storm's End.[1]
Storm's End became the seat of the rulers of the Stormlands, the Storm Kings, for millennia. When Aegon the Conqueror invaded Westeros, he sent his commander and rumored half-brother, Orys Baratheon, to take Storm's End. The last of the Storm Kings, Argilac the Arrogant, left the safety of his stronghold and met Baratheon in open battle. Argilac was defeated, and Orys Baratheon took Argilac's domains, sigil, motto and daughter, becoming the founder of House Baratheon [2]
One of the mightiest fortresses on the entire continent, Storm's End has endured many sieges but has never fallen to any attacker in its millennia-long history.[3] Its seaward wall is 80 feet thick with a 150 feet drop into the sea below. The castle is said to be protected by spells woven into its walls that prevent magic from penetrating its defenses.[4]
During Robert Baratheon's rebellion, Storm's End was besieged for over a year by the forces of House Tyrell, who had remained loyal to the Mad King, Aerys II Targaryen. The castle garrison, commanded by Robert's brother Stannis, was reduced to eating dogs and rats and were on the verge of resorting to cannibalism when they were saved by a shipload of onions, smuggled into the castle by the noted smuggler Davos. After Aerys' death, Eddard Stark bloodlessly raised the siege, as Lord Mace Tyrell realized that the war was lost, and he swore fealty to King Robert. Davos was raised to knighthood for his actions.
To Stannis's displeasure, he was made Lord of Dragonstone by his brother, leaving their infant brother Renly as the titular Lord of Storm's End. Stannis considered this a slight, as Dragonstone is even colder and harsher than Storm's End, despite Dragonstone being a fortress of great tactical importance and a history as a seat for Princes.
Following Renly's assassination, control of the castle reverted to Stannis. It is unknown who holds it in the wake of Stannis's own death.
In the booksEdit
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Storm's End consists of a massive curtain wall surrounding a single immense drum tower. Unlike many other castles, which consist of a complex of different buildings, Storm's End is entirely contained within one large building. This is due to the immense storms that frequently batter the castle, necessitating a design that minimized the amount of time inhabitants would need to be outside.

I don't want to slam this magazine as I enjoy it very much but this spread deeply disturbed me. I am an artist, educator and ocean activist and have worked tirelessly to combat plastic pollution.
If the artist/designer/photographer/magazine wanted to make an ironic statement about how damaging ocean plastic pollution is by being "permanent", "enduring", "immutable" then they failed. If there had simply been information about how damaging plastic pollution is to our oceans, lakes, streams, streets, parks, forests because of these qualities it would've made the pairing of luxury and trash more acceptable. Also, it would have been an excellent opportunity to educate the public about this world-wide epidemic.

Fueling Reformation
from R.C. Sproul Jun 07, 2010 Category: Tabletalk MagazineI'm always puzzled when I see church billboards announcing a coming revival. They give the times and the dates when the church will be engaged in revival. But I wonder, how can anybody possibly schedule a revival? True revivals are provoked by the sovereign work of God through the stirring of His Holy Spirit in the hearts of people. They happen when the Holy Spirit comes into the valley of dry bones (Ezek. 37) and exerts His power to bring new life, a revivification of the spiritual life of the people of God. Keep Reading

Pierced for Our Transgressions
from Keith Mathison Jun 03, 2010 Category: ArticlesIt should come as little surprise to learn that the doctrine of the substitutionary atonement of Christ has come under renewed criticism in recent decades. The Reformers dealt with such criticisms and attacks from the Socinians. Our more recent forefathers in the faith dealt with such criticisms and attacks from rationalists and liberals. Today we hear such criticisms and attacks from a wide variety of sources. We are surrounded by so much anti-Christian rhetoric, however, that it is hardly a shock to hear the doctrine of substitutionary atonement referred to derisively as "cosmic child abuse" by a popular contemporary Christian author. Such comments reflect a widespread discontent with the traditional doctrine. If we are not troubled by such attacks, we should be, for the atonement is at the heart of Christ's redemptive work and thus key to a proper understanding of the Gospel. Keep Reading
We're One, but We're Not the Same
from Burk Parsons Jun 02, 2010 Category: Tabletalk MagazineIf it's new, it's likely not true, and if it's true, it's likely not new, or so the saying goes. Generally speaking, when someone uses the word new to describe something old, I'm not only not impressed but usually a bit puzzled and often a bit concerned. Although the phrase the "New Calvinism" has been around for centuries in one form or another, the recently popularized use of the phrase is largely attributable to Time magazine's March 12, 2009, cover story "10 Ideas Changing the World Right Now." Number three on their list? The New Calvinism. In God's providence, Time's journalistic efforts helped to shine an even bigger spotlight on a global movement many of us have been aware of for quite some time. Keep Reading

Praying For A Legend
I think that every state has their own, special sporting legends that seem to transcend the field of play and mean something just a bit more. In Minnesota, that figure was/is Harmon Killebrew.
Now, by the time I became interested in baseball, "The Killer" was already enshrined in Cooperstown, so I don't have any first-hand insight into the matter, but sometimes you can just tell by the way a guy is talked about. I haven't found a person yet who watched Twins baseball in the 1960s-early 70s and DIDN'T idolize Harm. As a child, my dad rooted for him at the old Met, got his autograph coming out of the stadium (which promptly got stuck in the bicycle spokes, of course…no pristine collector's cases back then!), and emulated his batting stance and swing on the Little League diamonds.
Thus, I was very saddened to hear that Killebrew has contracted esophogeal cancer. This may be a tough nut to crack, but (in typical Harmon fashion) he is resolute on beating the diesease. Pretty mundane stuff for the guy who stared down the likes of Bob Gibson and Don Drysdale, right?
My thoughts and prayers are with the Killebrew family during this rough time. Having him around as a Twins ambassador reminds me that my elder generation (like my dad) once had heroes too, idolizing the same sort of "mythic" sports heroes I once (and still do) today.
Good luck Harm!

Three Finals Appearances Cap Final Day at Princeton/Farnsworth Invite
Three main-draw flight finals appearances highlighted the final day at the Princeton/Farnsworth Invitational for the Tiger men's tennis team.
The Dan Davies and Zack McCourt took Columbia's Miguel Alda and Winston Lin of Columbia to a tiebreak in the top doubles draw final but came up short, 8-7(4). Rookies Josh Yablon and Tom Colautti fell in their finals, Yablon retiring in the first set due to injury and Colautti losing in straight sets.
"In general, we were pleased with the overall performance of our team," Princeton coach Billy Pate said. "The younger players gained some much-needed collegiate match experience. It's not always easy making the transition from junior tennis to collegiate tennis, so it was a successful event for the freshmen. Colautti did a good job of making his way to the singles final in the top flight but he didn't play his best today and was matched against a very experienced guy (Columbia's Dragos Ignat) who played well. Though Yablon had to default in the first set it was great to see him compete in a tournament for the first time in eight months after having surgery. He's just a bit rusty and clearly the volume of play got to him in the end. Day finished up with three quality wins and was playing better each match. We're anxious to get back to work in the next 10 days before we take the court again at Navy."
The Tigers will play again on Sept. 27 in the Navy Invitational in Annapolis, Md. Princeton's final-day results from the Princeton/Farnsworth Invitational are below.
