Jerry Tolley earned three letters in football during one of East Carolina's most successful football eras under coach Clarence Stasavich.
The 1964 winner of the E.E. Rawl Award for the senior athlete who best exemplified academic excellence and outstanding character, Tolley is still remembered in the Pirate record books for one of the longest kickoff returns ever, a 92-yard return against Western Carolina in 1963.
Tolley carried over his athletic excellence to Elon College as a head football coach. During his coaching tenure at Elon, Tolley's teams won back-to-back national championships in 1980 and '81 and was the national runner-up in 1978.

Zim's white farmers brace themselves for more land grabs
There is no money for compensation, but 23 white-owned farms have been targeted.
There is no money for compensation, but 23 white-owned farms have been targeted.
There's no shortage of wannabe presidents but none stands out as a good choice for the country.
Sources said ousted vice-president Joice Mujuru was set to lead a new Zanu-PF splinter group, which identifies itself as the "original Zanu-PF".
Zanu-PF has expelled former vice-president Joice Mujuru for allegedly plotting against elderly Robert Mugabe, the party announced on Friday.
Minister Nathi Mthethwa won't support any violent removal of Cecil Rhodes' statue from the UCT campus and urges an amicable resolution to the matter.
Zimbabwe's main opposition party has said one of its activists was abducted and is blaming Robert Mugabe's government.
Dead animals, donations and a lot of song and dance over the supreme leader's 91st birthday.
Sacked party stalwart Didymus Mutasa is going to court to get his job back and to restore Zanu-PF to 'legality'.
A split is imminent in Zanu-PF as former Vice President Joice Mujuru and her allies will commence a legal challenge of Robert Mugabe's leadership.
Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe says vice-presidents Emmerson Mnangagwa and Phelekezela Mphoko are merely there so he can 'give them work to do'.
Mugabe failed to appoint politburo and presidium members during the sitting of congress, but he did appoint his wife as head of the women's league.
Jobs for pals, lack of accountability, the blurring of state and party – déjà vu?
President Robert Mugabe will exercise his new-found powers to dump embattled Vice-President Joyce Mujuru and appoint two new vice-presidents.
Zanu-PF rebels, including the vice-president, are being summarily dispatched for their 'disloyalty'.
President Robert Mugabe has a tight grip on his position as head of the ruling Zanu-PF, and played down suggestions that he should step down.
Zimbabwean Vice-President Joice Mujuru was a moderate who built up a good working relationship with those in commerce, and even the opposition.
At a key elective conference taking place this week, President Robert Mugabe said Zanu-PF cannot trust anyone who wants to work with the West.
Zimbabwe's vice-president Joice Mujuru's failure to make it to Zanu-PF's central committee automatically excludes her and allies from next politburo.
Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe has changed the Constitution of the ruling Zanu-PF party, giving him sole power to appoint a successor.

Emporio Takes Misunderstood Guanciale Pie Off the Menu
Three new pizzas at the Italian newcomer.
New York's Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld may have singled out Emporio's guanciale, kale, and béchamel pie as one of top twenty of the moment, but pizzaiolo Giuseppe Cangialosi has taken it off the menu! Shouldn't be surprising, since he told them, "No one orders this, because they don't understand it." In its place, you'll now find three new offerings: San Marzano, buffalo mozzarella with artichoke, mushroom, and ham; a spicy soppressata with San Marzano and buffalo mozzarella; and an olive, caper, and anchovy.

LOS ANGELES - The No. 2 UCLA men's water polo team registered a 10-4 victory against No. 7 UC Irvine in the first official athletic event at the Bruins' new Spieker Aquatics Center before a capacity crowd in a non-conference match on Saturday evening.
UCLA (9-1) received one pair of goals from senior Scott Davidson, sophomore Cullen Hennessy and freshman Josh Samuels. The Bruins also had one goal from juniors Ben Hohl, Jacob Murphy and Emilio Vieira and freshman Griffin White.
UC Irvine (6-4) was led by Cole Bielskis' three-goal effort.
Playing their first home match of the season, UCLA led from the start. The Bruins secured a 2-0 lead through the game's first four minutes on goals from Davidson (5:16) and Hennessy (4:06). UC Irvine sliced UCLA's advantage in half with a goal from Bielskis at the 3:13 mark. The Bruins claimed a 3-1 advantage at the end of the first quarter, as Davidson netted his second goal of the evening with 17 seconds left in the frame.
UCLA used a 3-0 scoring run in the second quarter to extend its cushion to 6-1 by halftime. In the second period, the Bruins received goals from Samuels (4:39), Murphy (1:24) and Hohl (0:33).
The visiting Anteaters pulled their deficit to 6-2 with a strike from Bielskis just 32 seconds into the third quarter. Vieira tapped in a pass from Hennessy with 6:54 to go in the third period, before UC Irvine answered with Bielskis' third goal of the evening, pushing the score to 7-3. UCLA added its eighth goal of the night on a strike from Hennessy with 34 seconds remaining in the third quarter.
UC Irvine pulled to within four goals, 8-4, on a score from Tom Kruip with 2:40 to play in the match. UCLA extended its advantage with two fourth-quarter goals - from White (1:22) and Samuels (0:20).
UCLA senior goalkeeper Chay Lapin registered eight saves, before freshman Matt Rapacz tallied two saves in the game's final 5:17. UC Irvine goalkeeper Matt Johnson finished with nine stops in the cage.
The Bruins return to action at No. 1 Stanford on Saturday, Oct. 3. Game time is 10:30 a.m.

Two Bob Dylan related ads aired during the 'Big Game" earlier today. One was for a humorous commercial featuring a giant bear trying to buy Chobani yogurt. Dylan's original 1966 recording of "I Want You" can be heard in the background.
The other, for Chrysler, is the one everyone is weighing in on, so I will keep it brief here. Dylan narrates, and appears in, the commercial, along with his 2000 recording of "Things Have Changed" and some random guitar strumming. Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, and other iconic American images and figures can also be seen, including Dylan himself.
The two minute ad is patriotic, with Dylan extolling the virtues of America, focusing on Detroit in general, rather than the brand he was hired to promote. You can view the ad in the embedded clip above.
Bob Dylan is reportedly touring Europe from approximately June 19 to July 17, give or take a few days here and there, according to the Desolation Row Information Service. Tour dates are expected to be announced very soon. Apparently, rumored Dylan shows in Croatia and at the Lucca Festival will not be happening,
In addition, two concerts - April 9 and 10 at the Zepp Diver City Tokyo - have reportedly been added to the previously announced tour of Japan.
Much has been written since activist and folk music icon Pete Seeger died last week at the age of 94. I met him briefly after a gig with Arlo Guthrie and Shenandoah at Boston's Hynes Auditorium in the summer or 1978. I was walking around the area after the show with my sister, and saw a crowd gathered outside the front of the venue. Seeger was talking to fans, and we shared a few words. All I can say is he was exactly the same offstage as on, more concerned with political issues than accolades, and was completely without pretense.
Here are links to some articles about Pete Seeger from 2011:
Bob Dylan birthday countdown, No. 37 - Pete Seeger, 92 years young today
Billy Faier interview (part three) on Pete Seeger: '"Do you know that guy?" Jackson asked me, still in awe at Pete's recorder playing. "Sure," I replied. "That's Pete Seeger." "That's PETE SEEGER," shouted Jackson. "My God, I had no idea a Stalinist could be so nice." Pete roared in pleasure when I related this story to him months later.

Crammed into a far-too-short legroom seat for the next few hours, feeling as though I was a T-Rex trying to shuffle through a cardboard box of purchased individually wrapped food items without the ability to extend my arms, I reflected over how my trip to Miami had gone. From missing the 45-minute baggage check-in time by two minutes because of long check-in lines and unattended car-returns to purchasing a last-minute one-way ticket in order to get to my destination, a passive counter agent who was far from helping me or any other passenger and a TSA agent who didn't mind the 45-minute one-line backup at security; I couldn't help but wonder: what has happened to the airline industry?
My father was a Captain for United Airlines during the 80s until his retirement in 2004, a Naval pilot before that who flew A-6s in Vietnam during the 70s. Needless to say, our family flew a lot. Now, I continue to travel as a travel writer and photographer on assignment and have been on several airlines, ranging from great to poor—as both a professional and leisure passenger, the changes of late have come quickly and noticeably. Deciding to weigh out the story, I turned to friend and colleague Kimberly Lord Stewart, who was a flight attendant for Pan Am, as well as current flight attendant for United Airlines Heidi Hill-Greer.
"I was fortunate to play a part of the glory days of airline travel as a Pan Am flight attendant," relates Stewart, "Regardless of whether passengers were in first class, business or economy, Pan Am put service first." In an era where flight attendants were issued white gloves versus the era of today where they are issued handcuffs, the industry has certainly changed. However, some of the inconvenient changes have been made for overall safety and health issues, as Hill-Greer relates: "While it seems that getting rid of those small pillows and blankets onboard was a part of lowering service standards, it had more to do with sanitary issues. Those were done away with after H1N1 became and epidemic a few years back."
"Airplane food" was the butt of many jokes for poor-quality economy class fare, while First Class enjoyed everything from steak to caviar. Now, most airlines only offer a meal-for-purchase snackbox on most domestic flights in Economy Class. Why was this? Hill-Greer offers more insight: "Post 9/11 meal service on domestic flights were basically cut not only to the cost cutting for the airlines but also so that the crew could be more vigilant of the passengers rather than so focused on an actual cabin service. This allows for the crew members to have more inflight situational awareness." So, while the food has been cut on many airlines due to safety, how does that relate to the overall experience?
Sitting in my forward-curving airline seat with my knees bumping up against the seat in front of me (mind you, I had purchased an extended-legroom exit-row seat for my 6' frame and the 6'4" height of my traveling companion—which due to the fullness of the flight had been assigned to someone else with no refund extended for either seat), the cuts and squeezes to budgets are becoming more and more noticeable. Frontier's once signature hot chocolate chip cookie service and inflight magazine now things of the past, Customer Service representatives now waiving off anxious customers in a "not my problem" attitude, and serve-yourself boarding line-up procedures herding cattle-like passengers; all reek of a crumbling airline industry.
Yet, I mentioned "great" at the beginning of this article. Flights on Singapore Airlines were stellar as I traversed Cambodia and Vietnam with attentive flight attendants and smiling ramp agents, Maui was all the more pleasant with Hawaiian Airlines with colorful inflight magazine and tropical treats along the way, and Emirates is often lauded as the best airline in the world with stellar curbside-to-flight service and attention to detail.
Is it as Sir Richard Branson said "If you want to be a Millionaire, start with a billion dollars and launch a new airline" where costs are insurmountable in the industry? Or can employees be pushed to make even the minutia of checking in or handling baggage into an enjoyable experience? With airline travel playing such an intrinsic part of global economy, where will the next chapter of airline travel take us? A far cry from knowing what is going on "behind the scenes," customers may not have all the information but should that really affect the travel experience as adversely as it has of late? It seems in most other customer-service related industries, the back-of-house may be chaotic, but the front-of-house should be none the wiser.

I just bought a home - and I am beyond excited about the task of decorating. As with fashion, ones choices within their own home are very personal and hence an extension of themselves. I obviously take this very seriously!
A toaster is no longer just a toaster! A dish towel should be as chic as it's owner! Function and fashion is essential... thankfully Black & Decker exists.
Even in the most mundane objects (er, a blender) they make look stylish and modern. Recently I was able to test out the FusionBlade 12-speed Blender from Black & Decker and I was thoroughly impressed! Unlike my old blender which begrudginly made smoothies on the chunky side, this model grinds my fruit to a pulp! Literally! It even has inspired me to get a little more bold in the kitchen! Salsa, soup, pesto -- bam! I made that!
I even make a mean pina colada with this baby! Just mix Cruzan rum, pineapple, coconut milk, ice and a little water -- then blend! I can't go through summer without having one.
Style is superb -- I love the chrome look and the minimalistic design. It fits in with the modern kitchen I am in now, and the 1830's country kitchen I am moving into... Seamlessly!
Funtion is key -- a pulse button joins 12 speed options to give you full control over the 550 watts of peak power, easily crushing ice and blending fruits. Endless possibilities await with this dependable blender that can transform the way you cook and eat.

Me and my 19-year old daughter rented apartment #6 for one week in February. This was my first rental with Wimdu and I was a little bit nervous about what to expect.
The host, Emanuele, was excellent! Friendly, helpful and responded fast on questions or need for help, both prior and during the stay.
Location, location, location. This apartment is perfectly located on the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and 9th Street in a nice neighbourhood . From here it is only three blocks (5 minutes walk) before you're at the beach. One block away at Washington Ave/9th is the 7/11 or Friends Food market if you need youghurt, water or wine. It is also on Washington Ave/9th that you can jump on/off the airport bus ($2,65 one way) or bus 120 around Miami Beach.
On Washington Ave/12th St is a nice, cosy Starbucks with great Wifi, and the shopping haven Lincoln Street is only 20 minutes walk or appx 10 blocks away (remember, were are quite fast walkers.
The apartment had great Wifi and was located on 2nd floor with living room windows facing 9th street and kitchen/bathroom windows facing the parking lot which I guess was related to the apartments. In the living room was a very comfortable futon bed (sofa), but the aircondition and the street facing windows caused some noisy disturbance.
The bedroom, between the living room and the kitchen/bath room, had a queen bed where my daughter was sleeping. The bed was comfortable, but made some squeaking noise from the bottom of the two madrasses. When the AC in the living room was off, the refridgerator fan was a bit disturbing.
The kitchen had one refridgerator with top freezer, one "electrical" gas stove/oven (good) and a mix of plates and champagne and water glasses, but no wine glasses. :)
Cleanliness 4/5
If you are noise sensitive, this is not the place for you. Otherwise, I strongly recommend this apartment.
Nice little apartment in Miami Beach. 2 minutes walk to the beach and Ocean Drive, 1 minute walk to a supermarket.
Emanuele was reachable via Whatsapp and helped whenever there was something missing. He even had a free parking lot for our rental car.
Thank you! :)
Emanuele ist super nett stets hilfsbereit. Nur zu empfehlen. Das Apartment gut gelegen, zentral und wir hatten alles was wir benötigten in der nähe.
Wir kommen wieder. Danke
Emanuele e' una persona molto carica e disponibile, l ' appartamento si trova in una posizione molto buona e comoda a south beach, vicino a tutto. Assenza di wi-fi, sono stato per tutto il mio soggiorno senza internet. La casa e' molto carina e disposta bene ma pulizia scarsa ovunque. Rapporto qualita'-prezzo non buono abbastanza caro per quello che offre, non e' un appartamento charm ma chip. Nel complesso esperienza abbastanza positiva.
Excellent expérience avec Emanuele.
La remise des clefs fut simple, rapide et efficace.
L'appartement était extrêmement bien placé. La décoration est de très bon goût. Un très bon rapport qualité /prix
Je recommande vivement cet appartement et cet hôte.
Emanuele was indeed the best host I've ever had in Miami. He was waiting for me upon arrival. He was very polite. We had no issues whatsoever and we will be staying there again as soon as we plan the next trip
i stayed with my little girl and my husband one week in this apartment.very well located ,near the beach and ocean drive.big enough and comfortable.the only thing i didn't apreciate was the cleaness.we found it a little bit dirty for our standarts.
but the rest was ok.
Thank you sooooo much Emanuele for your support.
I enjoyed my stay very much in this loveley appartment.
The location can not be better in South Beach to reach everything you need for a great holiday.
And Emanuele was a great host, nice and always availible when needed.

"Thanks to the UCLA medical team who took great care of me," she said.

BioVex raised $40 million in the first close of a series F private financing to push its melanoma drug into Phase III testing for which the company expects final data in 2010.
OncoVEX GM-CSF is an oncolytic virus technology. It replicates and spreads within solid tumors, causing the death of cancer cells, while stimulating the immune system to destroy un-injected metastatic deposits, the company explains.
"Following the unprecedented number of durable complete remissions generated with our lead cancer product, OncoVEX GM-CSF, in a Phase II study in metastatic melanoma, the funds will be used to commence a pivotal Phase III study," notes Philip Astley-Sparke, president & CEO.
BioVex' 50-patient Phase II trial evaluated OncoVEX GM-CSF as a stand-alone therapy in patients with unresectable Stage IIIc and Stage IV metastatic melanoma. The company found that 26% had an objective response rate, which included eight complete responses.
The Phase III study will follow the design employed in Phase II. It will also enroll previously treated patients with unresectable Stage IIIc and Stage IV disease. The primary objective is to demonstrate a statistically significant increase in the rate of objective responses maintained for six months or more in comparison to control therapy GM-CSF. The study is intended to enroll 360 evaluable patients beginning in the second quarter. A total of 240 patients will receive OncoVEX GM-CSF and 120 patients receive control.
"The board is currently examining a number of options to raise a further $20 million to fund preparations for a BLA filing following the generation of Phase III data in 2010," Astley-Sparke continues.
Forbion Capital Partners led the round and was joined by existing investors including Credit Agricole Private Equity, Harris & Harris Group, Innoven Partners, New Science Ventures, Triathlon Medical Venture Partners, and Scottish Equity Partners.

Redshirt junior goalkeeper Alana Munger (Honolulu, HI/Punahou School) of the UCLA women's soccer team was selected as the UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week for Aug. 13-19.
Munger picked up her first career win in goal, helping the sixth-ranked Bruins to a 2-1 victory over UMass in the team's season opener on Sunday in Amherst, Mass. Munger, who played the entire 90 minutes in goal, made four saves on the afternoon. With the win, UCLA improved to 13-6-1 all-time in season openers.

"Like I do when making corn bread, I put a veg oil in the pan, make sure to brush it over the sides then put in the over until it is very hot, like ready to fry bacon. I fill it at once then place back into the over. You get nice crisp sides and bottom.MIng ;Kaye Bryson Dodd"

TC TO JANE WELSH CARLYLE ; 3 May 1841; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18410503-TC-JWC-01; CL 13: 123-124
Scotsbrig, 3 May, 1841—
Dear Bairn,
I can hear nothing from thee in these days; nothing till I hear it from thy own mouth,—hearing and seeing, and much else, all at once! It is my own blame and Fortune's; it is my own sorrow and no other's.
Jamie and I made out Templand on Saturday, as prophesied; we drove, in the beautifullest Mayday sun, thro' the Hills of Æ water, silent, clear, with small groups of peasants planting potatoes in the hollows of them;—we arrived, not unlooked for, not unwelcome, about 5 in the evening. All is as before, in those Nithsdale spaces: one finds it strange to come upon them after absence and oblivion; they have not been dead or sleeping tho' forgotten; they still exist there, and are green with the new Spring! I saw old Mundell1 in the distance, very clean and stiff-looking; poking about his Garden in the Saturday afternoon. Little Bennett2 also appeared on his glebe; a smooth soft oilbag, basking in Heaven's ray, at the end of an enlarged Manse he has been getting built. Walter and Maggy were your Mother's only guests; a fine quiet sensible girl, poor Maggy; Walter too is gathering sense,— "a real fine chiel'," Jamie calls him: he is to finish his trials and get his licence tomorrow.3 Your Mother looked well, tho' somewhat of a flurry was perceptible. All right: she, Templand House, the garden, and all the rest of it, fit to be put in bandboxes, so perfect was their state of order. I am very glad I went up. I had to talk all evening till late; and again all morning, after imperfect sleep. I was not improved by my journey; as indeed what journey does improve me?
My dear Jeannie, what a shock would it be to your heart, the news that poor Uncle Robert was already no more! Your Mother had the melancholy message for me: nothing more she could tell me, if not that his decease had been generally anticipated. The letter I wrote for him, had gone off some few hours before he died.4 How strange that Postscript now looks,—what the people call fey [unnatural, under doom]. Alas, I thought of poor Robert; I thought of my poor Jeannie who has now as it were no kindred; none at all but me—who am worth as good as nothing to her! My poor Jeannie, yet thou must cleave to me; I will not forsake thee, such as I am.— It is to me also very mournful to reflect on Robert: but was thut's [what's the use of it]? it is all a mournfulness together this sad and solemn, beautiful and awful life of ours.—
On Saturday morning I wrote to Miss Martineau, asking if I could see her by "calling" on Tuesday Evening. Contrary to my expectation, but owing most probably to the Posts, there is no answer this morning. If no answer come at all, or none before breakfast tomorrow, it will be impossible for me to manage Newcastle, and I must take the Liverpool Steamer on Wednesday,—and see thee on Thursday! It is a day shorter at both ends; a day later here, and a day sooner in London, than if you go by Newcastle. My Letter to Harriet was one of the kindest: at bottom, alas, what good can I do her; what good can she do me?
Nether Auldby House5 is not a beauty on the outside. Rough roads, unclipt hedges, a rude savage-Annandale Dandy-Dinmont6 air, but in a beautiful hollow of the Kirtle Valley; a mile or two from fair Helen's Grave:7—aus dem wird Nichts [nothing will come of this], I think.— O that I were home beside thee, my Dearikin; home even in London!
Tomorrow I must write again, some half word: Newcastle or Liverpool. Adieu; do not weep for Robert: let us weep for nothing; let us hope in God and love one another. Auf ewig[Forever]
A terrible defect of paper here today

This component typically consists of courses in English as a second language or in US culture and society that take participants into the community to practice their language skills and to learn more about life in the USA. Courses can be offered at any level of proficiency in English, from beginning to advanced. The courses can emphasize all of the basic language skills, or they can focus on particular ones such as oral expression.
When the participants have at least an intermediate level of proficiency in English, the courses may consist of content from a variety of academic specializations. In these courses, the faculty may be drawn from colleges and schools throughout Penn. Sometimes, the faculty will prepare participants for an associated field trip. For example, a faculty member might deliver lectures or conduct workshops on the US legal system, and then will arrange for participants to visit a courtroom trial and meet with the presiding judge.
Courses usually meet daily from Monday through Friday. Participants are typically given assignments or tasks to complete outside of class. The assignments might involve use of the computer or language lab, or interaction with native English speakers.
This component typically consists of field trips and excursions to local and regional sites of interest, especially ones where the participants will have opportunities to interact with Americans and to learn about US history and culture.

This unusual wildflower that blooms in the spring is the Sessile Trillium. The Sessile Trillium shape with its three leaves and bloom in the center is unique from most other flowers of spring. The contrasting shades of green on the leaves make this attractive. They only bloom for a short period of time and the next two weeks are the peak time to see them. When photographing this flower the goal is to capture the tones of green so they are correct and sharp.
A good composition tip here is to look carefully at the background so none of the leaves turn into bright hot spots. Do some gardening; remove the twigs or debris that shine so the background is not busy. Remove debris that creates angles of confusion to distract the viewer in the image. Make sure that the white balance is set for the lighting you are working in.
The exposure goal here is to isolate the flowers leaves so they will pop off of the picture. First there are two ways to accomplish the end result. One method is to spot meter a gray card in the same light as the flower to reproduce the middle tones correctly. The best result is if the camera is in manual exposure program. This will bring out the variations of light and dark on the leaf. Second is to rely on the cameras metering system. Choose the matrix or pattern metering. Set the camera on Auto metering mode. Next in the viewfinder move the image around so most of the squares are on the flower. Done correctly the color variations will be properly saturated and exposed. The background will not compete with the flower. And the time spent in the computer will be kept to a minimum.
Image sharpness is a major concern and the wind affects this just as camera shake can. Early in the morning is the best time of day for light and reduced wind. Use a tripod to eliminate camera shake along with either a cable release or the self-timer. The most important element is patience waiting for just the right moment.
In summary select the flower, clean up the background, set the white balance, determine the metering method, and take the picture. This image was shot with the following settings; shutter speed 1/80 sec, aperture f/9.0, exposure program manual, metering mode pattern, white balance fine weather, and the lens was a 70-300mm set at 300mm.

We Are Family (Minus One)
I was saddened to hear yesterday that former Twin, Blue Jay, and Brewer Corey Koskie announced his retirement from professional baseball. As Twins fans, how can we not respect the tenacity that Koskie showed for the game of baseball, as he was one of those guys without much raw talent that needed every ounce of skill in his body to hit .280, 20 HR, and play fabulous defense at the hot corner. Sadly, however, his strange concussion-like malady has now forced him to leave the game he loves. Though even he admitted he could probably play through the discomfort, he did not want to put himself through another rough year or two, and with young children growing up at home I don't know how you can blame him for that.
During my time as a writer for the University Register at the University of Minnesota, Morris, I penned an article about Koskie (and other former Twins) that I thought would be appropriate to share on this blog. Just remember that the article is a wee bit dated (written just in advance of the start of the '07 season), but the basic principles of the piece still hold true:
Over the last seven seasons, the Minnesota Twins have become a perennial powerhouse in the American League. Yet, besides a winning product on the field, the Twins have created a family-type atmosphere that makes them so endearing and fun to watch. While many baseball teams disperse their own separate ways the minute a game is completed (i.e. the New York Yankees), the Twins stick together, evidenced by the roommate pairing of Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau last season. Journeyman players who have wandered the major leagues or young rookies fresh from the bush leagues can be considered "part of the family" once assigned a Twins uniform. However, in order to stay competitive in baseball's current economy, many a fine Twins "family member" has needed to be disowned. In almost all cases, leaving the Twins' family produced disastrous results…
Christian Guzman–Endeared himself to Twins fans in 2001 with his unusual goatee and that "bionic sound" he made while scampering to third base with another triple. Since leaving the Twins after 2004, Guzy batted .219 for the Washington Nationals in 2005 and missed the entire '06 season due to shoulder surgery.
Matt Lawton–Lawton was the most talented Twins outfielder during the doldrums of the late 1990s. Never sniffed .300 after leaving the Twins via a trade in '01 and was busted for steroids with the Yankees in 2005.
A.J. Pierzynski–You know the fan who gets a few beers in him and annoys the heck out of his entire section? A.J. Pierzynski was that guy's hero. Pierzynski is still a quality catcher for the Chisox, but his trade brought the Twins Francisco Liriano, Joe Nathan, and Boof Bonser.
Luis Rivas–A mainstay (admittedly if only because of a lack of depth) at the second base position from 2001-2004 and often single-handedly defeated the Kansas City Royals. Could not make the Tampa Bay Devils Rays roster in 2006, one year after the Twins released him.
David Ortiz–The one who got away. The gregarious "Big Papi" was a fan-favorite in 2001-2002, but also quite injury-prone, leading to his departure. Ortiz latched on with Boston and is now arguably major league baseball's biggest superstar.
Doug Mientkiewicz–Led the Twins' surge to prominence in 2001, but is now best remembered for stealing a baseball, not hitting or catching one.
Eric Milton–A solid, if not spectacular, starting pitcher for the Twins who pitched a no-hitter in 1999. Now regularly leads the NL in home runs allowed.
Joe Mays–Highly-touted Twins prospect who, after one great season (2001) fizzled out. Was recently cut from LA Dodgers training camp.
Jacque Jones–Teamed with Torii Hunter to create the "Soul Patrol" outfield but could not be afforded after 2005. Last year, Jacque was a steady contributor (.285, 27 home runs) for the Chicago Cubs.
LaTroy Hawkins–After first succeeding (then failing miserably) as a closer, "Hawk" became a premier middle reliever before pricing himself out of a Twins uniform. Hasn't been nearly as dominant since leaving Minnesota (4.48 ERA in 60 innings for the Orioles last season) and still collapses in pressure situations.
Eddie Guardado–"Everyday Eddie" earned his nickname as a middle reliever, but transformed himself into a reliable (if not spectacular) closer. Recently, Eddie has become anything but reliable due to chronic left elbow problems.
Yet, there is one player who has fallen on especially hard times after leaving the Twins family. The name noticeably absent from this nostalgic list is Corey Koskie. In 2001, Koskie banded together with Torii Hunter, Jacque Jones, and Doug Mientkiewicz in order to bring winning baseball back to Minnesota, much like Kent Hrbek, Gary Gaetti, Tom Brunansky, and Kirby Puckett did in the early 1980s.
Koskie debuted with the Twins organization in 1999 where, at third base and right field, he made an immediate splash (.310 batting average) on a punchless team. However, Koskie struggled mightily with his third base defense, not exhibiting enough quickness or range to play the position. Yet, on a team where playoff aspirations were nonexistent, Koskie was given the time necessary to develop his fielding skills, eventually molding himself into a perennial Gold Glove candidate, with his diving stops and on-target throws (even if he did have to occasionally bounce them off the old Metrodome turf) becoming commonplace.
After being a key contributor to the Twins' playoff teams of 2002-2004, Koskie was courted by a number of teams who coveted the slick-fielding, decent power/average third baseman. Though pursued by the Twins, Koskie was ultimately signed by the Toronto Blue Jays of his native Canada. Before leaving Minnesota, in a gesture demonstrating his appreciation of the Twins' organization and fans, Koskie took out full-page ads in both the Pioneer Press and Star Tribune expressing his gratitude for being allowed to thrive in Minnesota.
After a disappointing and injury-riddled season in Toronto, Koskie again changed teams, this time heading to Milwaukee. With a fast start to 2006, Koskie seemed to be getting his career back on track until disaster struck on July 5. While chasing a pop-up at Miller Park, Koskie overran the ball, had to bend backwards, and ended up falling to the ground, his neck whip-lashing before impact. While the incident did not seem overly violent, Koskie's next at-bat was like something out of the fifth dimension of the Twilight Zone, complete with images coming in and out of focus and spells of dizziness.
Since that day, Koskie has not played an inning of baseball for the Brewers. A week after the concussion, Koskie tried returning to the Brewers' lineup, but was overcome by dizziness, fatigue, and nausea, requiring him to leave the field once again. After visiting a neuropsychologist, Koskie was diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome from his fall. For the rest of that season, Koskie could only work out in small increments without the symptoms returning. His head injury even affected his family life, as watching his son's hockey games became impossible due to the bright lights giving him terrible headaches.
As for 2007 season begins, Koskie has begun rehabilitating both mind and body at his home in Minnesota, hoping to rejoin his team at the earliest possible date. Though post-concussion symptoms can last for years, Koskie seems to be on track to the major leagues again, as evidence by rising scores on the reaction-time and cognitive ability tests he regularly undergoes. According to Koskie himself (in an interview with the Star Tribune's Patrick Reusse), "I'm going to play again. I'm sure of that. If I wasn't, I would have a lot more depression to deal with."
In 1982, a promising young outfielder named Jim Eisenreich debuted with the Minnesota Twins. After suffering several mystifying seizures at his left field post, Eisenreich was diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome, putting his major league career in serious jeopardy. However, after three years of undergoing treatment, Eisenreich returned to the major leagues. In 1993 he helped the Philadelphia Phillies to the National League Championship by batting .318. In 1996 he hit .361 with the Phillies, and '97 brought him a World Series championship with the Florida Marlins. Hopefully, Corey Koskie can do much of the same.
Hrbek's "Tales From the Dugout"
I just finished reading Kent Hrbek's book "Tales From The Minnesota Twins Dugout", and was not impressed in the least. Here is a review of the book that I wrote on Amazon.com that I thought was appropriate to share on this Twins blog:
Before my review, a little Kent Hrbek anecdote: A few years ago, while attending the annual TwinsFest event at the Metrodome, I waited in line to get a picture taken with the big guy at his booth promoting his outdoors TV show. Before the photo, I commented on how exciting it was to be there, while all Hrbek could do was mope about wanting to be out on the lake fishing.
So, with that experience firmly planted in my mind, I was only cautiously optimistic that Herbie's book would be any more exciting than the man himself. As it turned out, this book only confirmed to me that Hrbek is an arrogant jerk who never really applied himself to the sport that set him up for life.
A few (just a few, to be sure) of the things that bothered me in this book included…
-Hrbek calling baseball a "team sport", which it is, but then lauding his two World Series rings like they make him some sort of Minnesotan God.
-Hrbek not taking a stand on any issues. He claims to be this straight-shooting personality, but never comes close giving his real thoughts on things like steroids, his off-and-on friendship with Gary Gaetti, and the effort (very little) he put into improving his baseball skills. Instead, he couches his "memoirs" with enough "buts" and "althoughs" to get himself off the hook in every situation.
To me, Kent Hrbek has achieved a very false celebrity status her in Minnesota by cashing in on his Bloomington roots and dumb luck of playing on two championship clubs (he certainly didn't carry those teams). Thus, the only reason I gave this book even a two-star rating is because I encourage Twins fans to read it…not because of the actual concepts, but so you can better understand the type of man that Hrbek really is.
I don't like saying those things about a former member of the Minnesota Twins organization, but unfortunately they are true in relation to Hrbek, and this book only exacerbates his negative persona.

Before I enter the two day whirlwind of family and friends coming and going at the Quinn household, I wanted to post a Christmas greeting and thank you to all TBP readers, members, contributors, and commentors, who have contributed to this truth seeking effort. I read many other excellent blogs, but only TBP has the kind of intelligent, funny, and sometimes nasty commentary that is both entertaining and informative. I think the average IQ and social intelligence of the average TBP reader/commentor is far above what you will find among the unwashed masses. There are a few dolts among our members, and they know who they are (bb). I know you have taught me far more than I've taught others.
Personally this was an extremely heart breaking year for me and my family as we lost my father-in-law Ray Romano, my young niece Jen Romano, and my son's best friend Tyler Rizol far too soon. These tragic deaths, along with other family medical issues, made this one of the saddest years of our lives. But life must go on. The entire Romano clan will gather at our house today and we'll honor the memories of the patriarch and my niece. We'll light three candles on the center island as a remembrance of those we've lost.
I've had plenty of issues with the site this year and had to switch server companies for the 3rd time. The technical side of running a website is not interesting to me. The site loading problems and attacks from outside parties (yes NSA- I mean you) almost convinced me to throw in the towel. But, it seems some patchwork done by a couple new vendors has fixed the issues. That, and paying ten times as much for my server as I did in previous years, has allowed people to actually log-on and read the site.
TBP will end up 2013 with over 5 million visitors. That's not bad for a blog I do in my spare time, with most of the articles written on my laptop while I sit in bed watching Duck Dynasty (just kidding). Sometimes the daily grind of keeping the site interesting can wear me down. I'm particularly crotchety on those days. I really appreciate when the other great contributors post their insights. It takes the load off my shoulders. AWD, Stuck, Harry P, and the other regular contributors are all owed a round of applause for their effort.
Lastly, I'd like to thank all of the generous readers who have supported TBP with their kind donations. I would like to list everyone by name, but I think most want to be anonymous. I've kept every letter and envelope that has ever been sent to me. They are piled up next to my computer. That will make it much easier for DHS to track you down when they kick in my door and take me away to the FEMA blogger camp.
I hope the readers of TBP have learned something over the last four years. I consider my efforts to be a crusade on behalf of my three sons and their future unborn children. I try to stay focused on the big picture and not be distracted by the day to day minutia from the propaganda arm of the establishment. I think we've opened the eyes of some people. I think we are starting to turn the tide. I think we're on the right side of history. A tipping point will be reached and I don't think it is too far away. I'll keep slogging away and seeking the truth. There isn't much more I can do.
Thank you for keeping this place interesting. I hope you all have a joyous fun-filled Christmas. There will be plenty of time for doom in the new year. For now, just enjoy the embrace of your family and tell them you love them.

Torn ACL (cont.)
Torn ACL Diagnosis
Patient Comment Read 1 Comment
The diagnosis of any knee injury begins with the history of how the injury occurred. Initially, the knee can be painful, swollen, and difficult to examine. The health-care professional may be able to detect the knee filled with fluid (effusion), but the pain and swelling may hinder the ability to assess whether any of the ligaments are damaged. If the swelling has decreased, the stability of the knee can be assessed by physical examination. There may be tenderness along the knee joint. The quadriceps muscle may be weak. There are maneuvers to test the stability of the ACL. These include the anterior drawer test, the Lachman's test, and the pivot shift test. Each is used to determine whether the connection between the femur and tibia is loose due to a torn ACL.
The physical exam also may be helpful in assessing other structures within the knee that may also be damaged. These include stressing the collateral ligaments and assessing the menisci or cartilage.
Plain X-rays may detect broken bones associated with an ACL tear. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is done to evaluate the anatomy of the knee, and it can detect injuries to the ligaments, meniscus, and bone. While it is used to visualize the anatomy, it is not a replacement for the history and physical exam. Not all patients with knee injuries require an MRI.

ANC, The Conmen

AfriForum launched a campaign against the ANC's plans to make fundamental changes to the South African Constitution. South Africa's Constitution was the manifestation of a negotiation process and amending it, as the ANC is considering doing, would amount to political breach of contract.
A petition against the ANC's proposed amendments to the Constitution is also posted in Afrikaans, English and Zulu on
As part of the campaign, AfriForum presented the ANC Headquarters with copy of the video together with a memorandum. The campaign will be extended to the international arena as well.
Ernst Roets, Deputy Executive Director of AfriForum, explained that AfriForum intended to discredit the ANC abroad if it went ahead with its plans to make fundamental changes to the Constitution. "It is becoming increasingly clear that the world has a misconception of the ANC. The ANC can no longer be seen as an organisation that wants to promote peace, tolerance and mutual respect in South Africa, but as an organisation that prefers to struggle instead of governing and for whom the blind pursuit of a revolutionary political ideology is more important than the wellbeing of the country's inhabitants."

5 common PR mistakes to avoid at your startup
One of the hardest things about putting together a startup is actually putting down what makes you great, different, fascinating and compelling and tying it altogether into language that makes sense. It feels like it should be easy, but very few startups actually set out with a clear and crisp statement of what it is they do, why it's different, and why it matters.
Most think they've checked this box and move on, but over time the business of actually getting that great idea moving takes over, the original idea changes, and the emphases change. The revenue model kicks in and the idealism of those first days gives way to pragmatism. Competition changes you, the website gets tweaked. And suddenly it's not so clear anymore. You think you know what you mean, but somehow it doesn't seem to get across so easily as it first seemed.
It's time to get back to basics and refresh what it is you think you're selling – and that's where a little help from communications consultants could come in handy (at Spot On PR, we have recently defined a set of start-up-friendly services to help startups find affordable assistance). Challenging your assumptions, filtering your positioning through a hard dose of real-world fact, competitive pressure and some clear-cut guidelines for effective communication means your proposition comes out the other end honed – smart, sweet and clear-cut.
Five common startup positioning errors:
1. Confusing what you care about with what I care about
The things that drive you to create a great business may not be the same things that drive me in being attracted to the services or products you offer. Perhaps the most common start-up positioning and messaging errors are hiding the clear benefits to end users behind a wall of stuff they don't actually want to hear about, let alone know. The positioning needs to be clearly communicated, well targeted and benefit-led.
2. Showing your insecurities
"With over 150 years of combined experience…" So when was the last time you heard IBM talk about its combined experience? Let's take the expertise as read – or find another way to communicate it than a statement that screams 'We're concerned about our inexperience.' It's not just experience – all too frequently companies say what they don't want to say in the way they don't say it!
3. Too much information
There's actually a skill to using fewer words to communicate a meaning – and it's never more important than when you're getting across what your startup represents: what it offers, how it works, why it matters to me. Beating around the bush, prevaricating and including information that's not necessary in those first few important seconds wastes valuable attention span. A lack of prioritization waters down your message and can confuse people right when you need them to understand you the most. So say what's critical first, and the other stuff can come down the line.
4. A question of tone
You might well be impelled by a sense of wide-eyed optimism and a mission to save humanity, but is that what you truly want to project? Brands have personality – ideally qualities that are truly reflected throughout the organisation and its work. What are your values - what's your brand personality? How does that personality map to your positioning? Will it resonate with your target audiences – your customers? And is it clearly different to your competitors?
5. Consistency is everything
Once you've defined your brand's values and personality and carved out your clearly differentiated positioning, it's time to implement that across your whole company proposition, from the images you use to the language you choose. It's all about consistency – if your key asset is speed, for instance, then speed should be what you're all about. Once you're clear about your goals, your communications should be just as clear in helping you reach those goals. That means being discoverable, shareable and engaging to your customers, and communicating consistently throughout.

Does Gwen Deserve Copyright Protection for Her Duds?
If I could be sweet
I know I've been a real bad girl
I didn't mean for you to get hurt
Forever, we can make it better
Tell me boy, Now wouldn't that be sweet?
Sweet escape
That's the chorus of Gwen Stefani's "The Sweet Escape," the first single off her latest album. It's an infectious song about apologizing, making up and finding a common ground.
Ahhh, if only life imitated bubble-gum pop.
Stefani filed a copyright infringement lawsuit this week against Forever 21, claiming that the popular retailer has improperly copied designs from her Harajuku Lovers clothing line. She's the second clothing designer to sue Forever 21, a so-called "fast-fashion" retailer. In March, Diane von Furstenberg sued the company for copyright infringement, alleging that its smock dress was too similar to her designs. Forever 21 doesn't comment on legal matters. Click here and here for New York Post stories.
At issue: Can fashion be copyrighted? It's an an issue we've blogged before (here and here). U.S. fashion designers are pushing for a federal law that would offer three years of copyright-like protection for everything from dresses to shoes to belts to eyeglasses. Though the chances are slim that the bill will get any real traction, it's sparked a debate over the fashion industry's creative process.
Currently, federal trademark law protects against infringement of registered logos, brand names and distinctive patterns. Counterfeiting, of course, is a no-no. But when it comes to the basic cut of a dress or shape of a purse, manufacturers are generally free to copy any style they want. But textile designs can be copyrighted, which is why both von Furstenberg and Stefani are focused on the garments' fabrics. Do you think Diane and Gwen deserve protection for their duds?
YouTube Video of the Day: While you contemplate the weighty question, here's a little "Sweet Escape" to get you through your Thursday afternoon. Click here and enjoy. Woohoo, Yeehoo! Woohoo, Yeehoo!

President Obama Announces NSA Changes While Still Slighting Snowden
"The work has begun," said the president today.
Although he refused to "dwell on Mr. Snowden's actions or motivations," President Obama said today that "the work has begun" in addressing the concern for civil liberties the former government contractor's massive NSA leaks stirred up.
In a major address at the Justice Department, Obama positioned himself firmly in the middle of the debate kicked off by Snowden while also elevating himself above it. "Those who are troubled by our existing programs are not interested in a repeat of 9/11, and those who defend these programs are not dismissive of civil liberties," he said. "The challenge is getting the details right, and that's not simple."
By announcing overhauls to the NSA collection of metadata, proposing oversight for the secret court system, and agreeing not to spy on our international allies too much, the president took steps to begin responding to months of criticism. But he also insisted, "We cannot prevent terrorist attacks or cyber-threats without some capability to penetrate digital communications."
Despite his appearance today and the changes announced having stemmed directly from Snowden's disclosures, Obama maintained a skepticism about the leaks. "I will say that our nation's defense depends in part on the fidelity of those entrusted with our nation's secrets," he said. "If any individual who objects to government policy can take it in their own hands to publicly disclose classified information, then we will never be able to keep our people safe, or conduct foreign policy. Moreover, the sensational way in which these disclosures have come out has often shed more heat than light, while revealing methods to our adversaries that could impact our operations in ways that we may not fully understand for years to come."
At the same time, "in our rush to respond to very real and novel threats, the risks of government overreach — the possibility that we lose some of our core liberties in pursuit of security — became more pronounced" since September 11, he said. "Given the unique power of the state, it is not enough for leaders to say: trust us, we won't abuse the data we collect. For history has too many examples when that trust has been breached."
Still, government agencies are "not abusing authorities in order to listen to your private phone calls, or read your emails," Obama said. "When mistakes are made — which is inevitable in any large and complicated human enterprise — they correct those mistakes." Examining the reach of these programs has been ongoing, he added, before and after Snowden: "Nothing in that initial review, and nothing that I have learned since, indicated that our intelligence community has sought to violate the law or is cavalier about the civil liberties of their fellow citizens."
That said, the plan is to move toward new safeguards, just in case. "One thing I'm certain of: this debate will make us stronger. And I also know that in this time of change, the United States of America will have to lead," said Obama. "No one expects China to have an open debate about their surveillance programs, or Russia to take the privacy concerns of citizens into account. But let us remember that we are held to a different standard precisely because we have been at the forefront in defending personal privacy and human dignity."

In the Garden
When to water?
Days when temperatures climb into triple digits followed by evenings with fast-moving thunder storms can leave beginning gardeners unsure about whether or not to add supplemental water to their vegetable gardens.
The general rule of thumb is that plants need about one inch of water a week either from rain or irrigation or a combination of the two.
The amount of water can vary depending on the type of soil in the garden, but the objective is to wet the soil to a depth of 5 or 6 inches and not water again until the top few inches begin to dry out.
"Your garden needs to be watered deeply,"says Henrico Extension Agent Lisa Sanderson. "And that requires some time.
"Some people think sprinkling water with a hose for a few minutes and wetting the surface of the soil will be enough,"she adds,"but deep watering is not something you can do for 10 minutes and be done."
Taking the time to water plants deeply can make them more resistant to droughts because the plants develop deep roots.
"Watering a little bit every day encourages shallow roots," says Sanderson, "So plants dry out quicker. And watering every day helps surface seeds, which are usually weeds, to germinate and grow."
Sanderson cautions that every garden is different, so gardeners need to check their soil to see when to water. Sandy soils may need to be watered more often, while a clay soil can hold moisture longer. Organic matter that you can add by incorporating it at tilling or by top dressing plants with compost can help soil hold moisture.
"You can use a rain gauge to see how much rain water your garden is getting," says Sanderson. "Or use a soil meter to see how dry the soil is."
"Fingers are also wonderful things to check soil moisture,"she adds. "Or use a trowel to pull back some soil and check for moisture."
The best time to water is in the morning when cooler temperatures mean less water will be lost to evaporation. Watering early also allows foliage that gets wet to dry before nightfall.
"It's better to water at the roots,"says Sanderson. "More water gets to the plant, and you have fewer issues with disease caused by moisture on the leaves."
If time is an issue, busy gardeners can use soaker hoses that allow water to slowly seep out all along their length. Placed at the base of plants and left on for sufficient time, soaker hoses can provide the deep watering that plants need.
"It's also a great idea to mulch your plants,"says Sanderson. Mulch conserves moisture in the soil by slowing evaporation and can prevent backsplash on leaves during watering. Plus mulching helps to control weeds that compete for the soil's moisture.
Sanderson adds that these watering principles also apply to landscape plants.
"Usually, established plants are fine," she says,"but when you have these hot, hot days, it's a good idea to keep your eye on your plants to see if you need to water."

Double Edge Theatre presentsThe Grand Parade(of the 20th Century)
directed by Stacy Klein

Special Limited-Run Event
Immerse yourself in the "unpredictable and imaginative" (American Theatre) world of acclaimed theater troupe Double Edge Theatre. Inspired by the multi-layered paintings of Marc Chagall, The Grand Parade is an original world premiere event that fuses physically daring spectacle with evocative music to create a thrilling, kaleidoscopic exploration of the 20th century.
Conceived by Artistic Director Stacy Klein and the Double Edge ensemble with original music by renowned Russian composer Alexander Bakshi.
American Voices

"Work on The Grand Parade has been a wild and revelatory experience – from learning that women are still facing the same century-long struggle, and that lessons of war and economy have gone unheeded, to the amazement and sheer fun of peoples' continued attempts to fly, to invent and to laugh in spite of it all. With Chagall as our muse, we have dared our way through the century's chaos, trying to find our own thousand
ways to fly."
— Stacy Klein, director

"Double Edge's artists surround us with stunning visual imagery, haunting vocal harmonies, musical accompaniment, and jaw-dropping aerial feats."

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana University Director of Athletics Rick Greenspan
announced today (Feb. 22) that he has accepted the immediate resignation of
men's basketball coach Kelvin Sampson.
Greenspan appointed assistant coach Dan Dakich as interim head coach and
assistant coach Ray McCallum as assistant head coach.
Dakich, who joined the Indiana staff this season, is a 1985 IU graduate,
four-year basketball letterwinner and worked for 12 years as a Hoosiers
assistant coach, before spending the past 10 years as head coach at Bowling
Green. As a player, the two-time team captain (1984 and 1985) is best
remembered for his excellent defensive effort against Michael Jordan in
Indiana's upset of North Carolina in the 1984 NCAA Tournament.
Formerly the head coach at both Ball State and Houston, Ray McCallum has 25
years of Division I college coaching experience which followed a stellar
playing career at Ball State. McCallum, well known in basketball circles
nationally for his integrity and exceptional dedication to the game, is
well-respected and admired by players and fellow coaches alike.
Neither Dakich nor McCallum were implicated in the NCAA notice of
allegations. Additionally, McCallum was not a member of the University of
Oklahoma men's basketball staff previously charged with impermissible phone
calls by the NCAA.
As part of the resignation agreement, Sampson will be paid $750,000, of
which $200,000 will come from Athletic Department funds and the remainder is
being provided by an anonymous donor. Sampson, in turn, has agreed that he
will not file a wrongful termination lawsuit against Indiana University.
"I am very sorry to see our relationship with Coach Sampson end this way,
but we have to focus on doing what's best for the long-term interests of IU
and its men's basketball team," Greenspan said.
Two weeks ago, IU received a "Notice of Allegations" from the National
Collegiate Athletic Association advising it that Sampson and other members
of his staff are charged with potentially "major" recruiting violations.
In response, IU President Michael A. McRobbie had directed Greenspan to
review the allegations, determine if they were credible and report back to
him by Feb. 22. Because of the resignation, there was no need for Greenspan
to report back to the president.
McRobbie said he has approved the resignation agreement.
"I have accepted the resignation of Kelvin Sampson in order to put this
matter behind us and allow our basketball season to move forward without
these distractions," McRobbie said.
McRobbie said he is very much aware of the disappointment being felt by many
members of the basketball team.
"They have been playing their hearts out on the court in spite of all the
controversy and media attention that has been focused on this issue," he
said. "I am grateful to each and every one of them for their perseverance
and loyalty to this university."
"I am grateful to each and every one of them for their perseverance
and loyalty to this university.†– McRobbie
We shall see President McRobbie, we shall see. Time will tell…
Coach Night,
Thank you for contributing the other $500K.
IU Nation
I'll play if the players don't want to. I'll try my level best and beat down the Wildcats tomorrow.
If the players want to show support for Kelvin, then the whole team needs to band together, play as hard as the last two games for the rest of the season and dedicate there accomplishments to Coach Sampson.
That would be fitting of Coach Sampsons efforts over the last two years at IU.
I think Sampson will be back in the NCAA tourney within 8 years. He is an awesome coach that can develop highly talented players (DJ).
Now can we begin the process of getting rid of the clownshoe who hired the cheater who came with a show cause letter? Mr. Greenspan, you do not deserve to still be AD when the Hoosiers are put on probation in June.
To all those who don't have a clue about Sampson's hiring including Fweet.
Kelvin Sampson was hired under great pressure by former President Herbert. AD Greenspan had GREAT reservations and many, many meetings with Herbert regarding Sampson. In fact, it was only after Mark Few backed out that Greenspan basically relented to Sampson as being the best coaching candidate left willing to come to Indiana. Folks like Alford, Calapari and others mentioned were never even considered. Herbert convinced Greenspan that Sampson had learned his lesson, was a man of character and should be given the opportunity.
Rick Greenspan is one of the most stand up guys I have even known. This is killing him more than you can imagine. He is through and through a person of integrity, honesty, and forthrightness. He bears the responsibility of all of this, even though his gut was to pass on Sampson in the first place.
If you want someone fired, then go after Professor Adam Herbert.
As a loyal IU graduate, financial supporter and fan, I am deeply embarassed to have to answer questions from my friends about the honesty and integrity of Indiana University's athletic program. For almost 50 years, IU has not had an NCAA violation. The house cleaning is not yet done. Those who hired Sampson are just as culpable. Mr. Greenspan you may have been pressured by a lot of people to hire him. But, it was still your final decision. Where was your integrity? You need to go. Mr. Meyer needs to go as well. To Professor Herbert, I hope there is a way to also levy punishment on you. Finally, on behalf of Indiana University, President McRobbie needs to publicly apologize to all of the fans and players who were betrayed. Then, we can get on with the healing process of restoring the honesty and integrity that IU athletics will again represent. Good Luck to the players and Coach Dakich.
Time to clean house…it stinks in Bloomington like it never has before…start with Herbert and Greenspan and work your way on down. Let's look at the way Greenspan has treated a number of "standup" folks…he needs to pull his hand out of the front of his shirt and catch the first bus out of Bloomington. But please do not buy him out…these guys have a great racket…do a crappy job and still get paid?
Congratulations IU. The university has set example that all universities should follow when a coach deliberately chooses to cheat and ignore rules and regulations. Unethical people like Kelvin Sampson do not belong in coaching.
sampson should never be allowed to coach again, not even at the YMCA!!

Musical theater continues to thrive in Kansas City when The Barn Players present Stephen Sondheim's musical, "Follies"-- a show about three former Follies stars who return to the theater just prior to its demolition to reflect on their lives--opening Friday, April 18.
According to a Barn spokesman, "Follies" represents the largest casts they have presented. The famous stage musical opens Friday, April 18 and runs weekends through May 4, with both evening and Sunday matinee performances at the theatre, 6219 Martway in Mission, KS.
"The show is a great choice for The Barn because of the wide age range of the actors needed," Vida Bikales, board president of The Barn, said. "As a true community theatre, we try to utilize actors of all ages. And really, who doesn't like tap dancing and feathers?"
"Follies" won eight Tony Awards and tells the story of a reunion of past performers from
"Weismann's Follies," held in a crumbling Broadway theatre, about to be torn down, and
features the music and songs that won fame over the years, Pat Paton, media director, said.
"Follies" is considered one of Sondheim's finest musicals with songs including such
Broadway classics as: "Broadway Baby," "I'm Still Here," "Losing My Mind," "Rain On The Roof," "Beautiful Girls," "Could I leave You?," "One More Kiss," and a host of others.
Sondheim's "Follies" debuted on Broadway in 1971 and included Dorothy Collins, Alexis Smith, and Yvonne De Carlo in the original cast as the divas who renunite to reminisce their life on the stage in previous Follies, similar to the famous Zigfield Follies.
The production will have audiences on their feet, clapping and cheering for more. "Follies" is directed by Eric Magnus with musical direction by Tim Braselton. The show is rated "PG".
The Barn Players production of "Follies" features the largest cast ever assembled in the
theatre's 59 year history and spot-lights some of the area's finest performers and singers, Pat Paton, media representative for The Barn Players, said.
The cast includes: Tracy Fox, John Edmonds, J.C. Dresslar, Kipp Simmons, Peggy Mall, Anita Meehan, Pamela Klifer, Erica Fox, Diana Strahm, Sharon Johnson, Ruth Baum Bigus, Debbie Huffman, Dee Dee Diemer, Dennis Maddux, Ray Zarr, Paul Anderson, Victor Castillo, Pete Barrett, Ed Downs, Sarah Bodle, Jake Leet, Alyssa Winters, Daniel Hrdlicka, Alyssa Hoedl, Katherine Ruprecht, Ken Koval, Zoe London, Jill Smith, Andrea Serrioz, Veroncia Wood, Lakin Allen, Sam Hay, Blaine Brungardt and Miles Wirth.
Tickets are $18 and may be purchased on the theatre website www.thebarnplayers.org, by calling 1-800-838-3006, or at the box office the date of the performance; discounts for seniors and students.
