How To Patch Up A Broken Heart
Bioengineers at Duke University in North Carolina are excited by what they believe could be an important first step toward growing a living 'heart patch' to repair damaged heart tissue.
In a series of experiments using mouse embryonic stem cells, the bioengineers used a novel mould of their own design to fashion a three-dimensional 'patch' made up of heart muscle cells. The new tissue exhibited the two most important attributes of heart muscle cells - the ability to contract and to conduct electrical impulses.
To mimic the way that natural embryonic stem cells develop into heart muscle, the researchers grew the cells in an environment much like that found in natural tissues. They encapsulated the cells within a gel composed of the blood-clotting protein fibrin, which provided mechanical support to the cells, allowing them to form a three-dimensional structure. They also found that the 'cardiomyocytes' (cardiac muscle cells) flourished only in the presence of a class of 'helper' cells known as cardiac fibroblasts, which comprise as much as 60 percent of all cells present in a human heart.Sanitising A Keyboard
We all know that unwashed hands spread viruses and, according to 'Which?' magazine, computer keyboards carry more germs than a toilet seat.
Now a company called Vioguard thinks that its self-cleaning keyboard system might be just what you need to keep your shared PC safe from harm. By flooding the keyboard with germ-killing ultra-violet light for 90 seconds, Vioguard claims that nasty microbes will cease to exist and so reduce the risk that users of communal keyboards will inadvertently spread infection.
Hydrogen 'Muscles' Render Robots Silent
Today's robots are noisy in their electro-mechanical operation, but a team of researchers at the University of Nevada in Reno, USA, have now developed hydrogen-powered robot muscles.
To make a silent artificial muscle, the researchers first compressed a copper and nickel-based metal hydride powder into peanut-sized pellets. They then secured them in a reactor vessel and pumped in hydrogen to 'charge' the pellets with the gas. A heater coil surrounds the vessel and, as heat breaks the weak chemical bonds, stored hydrogen is released into an inflatable rubber tube surrounded by Kevlar fibre braiding. Two of these placed either side of a robotic joint can mimic the push/pull action of muscles by being alternately inflated and deflated.
A Car That Won't Let You Jump The Lights
Mercedes Benz has developed a wireless safety system, which allows traffic lights at intersections to communicate directly with vehicles automatically causing a car to stop at a red light should a driver fail to heed it.
A monitor incorporated into a car's dashboard would also feature information shared by the car and the traffic light such as real time traffic data and the vehicle's distance from the approaching intersection.
Cars implemented with the wireless transceivers would be able to communicate with one another – possibly alleviating the potential problem of a rear end pile up should one car be stopped suddenly.
A Robot 'Personal Trainer' For The Elderly
General Robotics In Japan is developing 'Taizo', a humanoid robot designed to lead the elderly in physical exercises.
Taizo, which is a play on the word 'taisou' meaning 'calisthenics', stands 72cm (28") tall and is dressed in a velvety space suit. He sports a clown-like grin that is supposed to look silly to put the older generation, who are often wary of new technology, at ease.
The 6.5kg (14.3lb) Taizo has 26 degrees of freedom that enables him to smoothly demonstrate around 30 different moves for his followers to imitate. Since his assignment is to help the elderly, most of his exercise regime centres around chair-bound activities, but he can stand up to demonstrate some actions.
London Police Want Their Mobiles To Be Iris Scanners
Britain is one of the world's most intrusive surveillance societies (on a par with Singapore), but now London's Metropolitan Police have put out a tender which calls for a mobile 'phone' which can take iris scans.
According to the details of the tender document the mobile identification units (MIU) must be capable of capturing and displaying the information held on microchips and Machine Readable Zones (MRZ) contained within passports, bank cards, ID cards, credit cards and other identification documents.
The MIU must also be capable of capturing fingerprint images to industry standards and further biometric capabilities including facial recognition (2D and/or 3D), and/or iris recognition are also desired.
In addition the handheld device must be capable of securely transmitting and receiving data across the secure police gateway.
(Big Brother is here. Lucky he's a moron.)Ready To Capture Your 'Lifelog'?
A camera you can wear as a pendant to record every moment of your life is soon to be launched by a UK-based firm. Originally invented to help jog the memories of people with Alzheimer's disease, it might one day be used by consumers to create 'lifelogs' that archive their entire lives.
Worn on a cord around the neck, the camera takes pictures automatically as often as once every 30 seconds. It also uses an accelerometer and light sensors to snap an image when a person enters a new environment, and an infrared sensor to take one when it detects the body heat of a person in front of the wearer. It can fit 30,000 images onto its 1-gigabyte memory.

As if the rising and expanding oceans weren't problem enough, scientists at the UK's University of Southampton have now found that 26 out of the world's 33 major delta regions are sinking relative to sea level. This is putting millions of people at risk of severe flooding, say the researchers.
Human activity, such as dam-building is the biggest reason for the deltas' decline. The researchers found that 85 percent of the major river deltas studied experienced severe flooding in the past decade.
Human Sperm Might Help To Slow Down Ageing
A new study by researchers at Graz University in Austria has found that spermidine, a compound that is present in human sperm, slows ageing processes and increases life spans in yeast, flies, worms and mice, as well as human blood cells, by protecting cells from damage.
Adding spermidine suppressed various processes associated with ageing, as well as reducing free radicals and increasing lifespan. Treated fruit flies lived 30 per cent longer than untreated ones, while worms lived 15 per cent longer.
Researchers 'Find Way To Protect Healthy Cells' From Radiation Damage During Treatment
American researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) may be hot on the heels of a Holy Grail of cancer therapy: They claim to have found a way to not only protect healthy tissue from the toxic effects of radiation treatment, but also increase tumour death.
More than half of all cancer patients are treated at least in part with radiation. But the same radiation that kills cancer cells can also destroy healthy ones, causing side effects such as nausea and vomiting, skin sores and rashes, and weakness and fatigue. Long-term radiation exposure can lead to the scarring and death of normal tissue.
The lead researcher on the topic is Jeff S. Isenberg, M.D., M.P.H., associate professor, Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine, Pitt School of Medicine.
'We almost couldn't believe what we were seeing,' Dr. Isenberg said of the research. 'This dramatic protective effect occurred in skin, muscle and bone marrow cells, which is very encouraging.'

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. – Twenty-five Huskies were named to the Pac-12 All-Academic Team, the conference office announced this week. Sophomore sprinter Travis Marshall was the lone Husky named to the First Team, with six more Huskies earning Second Team status and 18 garnering honorable mention.
To earn a spot on the All-Academic Team, athletes must maintain a cumulative grade point average above a 3.0, while participating in over half of a team's scheduled dates. Athletes also must be in their second full year at an institution.
Marshall, the top short sprinter on the squad this season, made the First Team in his first year of eligibility. An economics major, the sophomore currently owns a 3.76 GPA.
Making the Second Team on the men's side, all for the first time, are sophomore Carson Fuller, senior A.J. Maricich, and junior Nick Pfeiffer. Fuller is a pre-major with a 3.42 GPA, Maricich just wrapped his Husky career with a 3.43 GPA majoring in Geography, and Pfeiffer owns a 3.46 mark in Electrical Engineering.
The women put three on the Second Team, led by junior Eleanor Fulton who is a Second Team pick for the second year in a row. Fulton is joined by the Stueckle sisters, Kayla and Kimberly. Kayla just graduated with a 3.63 GPA in Pyschology, while Kimberly, a sophomore, has a 3.70 grade point average as a pre-major. Fulton carries a 3.74 GPA in Business Administration.
Fourteen of Washington's 25 honorees qualified for the NCAA West Preliminary Championships this year, and five advanced to the NCAA final site in Eugene and earned All-America honors including Kayla Stueckle and Fuller.

Title: Daimidaler: Prince Vs. Penguin Empire
Genres: Comedy, Science fiction, mecha, fan service
Simulcasts: Saturdays on FUNImation
What's It About? The Penguin Empire has been attacking Earth, and the only thing that can defeat them are giant robots called Daimidalers, operated by agents of PRINCE. Problem is, they run on Hi-ERO particles, so can only be operated by those who carry these particles. Their first candidate is Kouichi, a normal high school student who can recharge his Hi-ERO particles to insanely high amounts. But only if he's being perverted to a girl.
Initial Impressions: Shows like this are the reason anime gets the reputation it does. It's played for laughs, but if you're someone who came upon this show and was watching this episode and didn't know that it would set off your "weird Japan" meter. The idea of a high school student who only gets his special power from being perverted is not a new thing (more recent example: "So I Can't Play H!"), but add on to it the henchmen in skintight animal suits with "front tails," the handler who uses BBQ to bribe her coworkers to work with her, and the power being called Hi-ERO particles (think they'll figure it out by the end of the show's run?) and you have a recipe for a comedy that can either be really funny along the lines of "Highschool DxD," or fall flat on its face. We will see how the next episode plays out.

Egypt is struck by a series of terrible plagues that cripple the kingdom, and then the ultimate disaster occurs: the Nile fails. The waters that nourish and sustain the land dry up. Something catastrophic is taking place in the distant and totally unexplored depths of Africa from where the mighty river springs. In desperation, Pharaoh sends for Taita, the only man who might be able to find the source of the Nile and discover the cause of all their woes. None of them can have any idea of what a terrible enemy lies in ambush for the warlock in those mysterious lands at the end of their world.

"Too Bad ;("
I am only one hour into the story.. and already I am sorry I bought it. The story may be good but the narration is the pits. I can only listen for short periods of time.. How could they take a good book an excellent writer and let a complete idiot narrate it?
"Time for Taitha to retire?"
Wilbur usually manages to keep a story going and make it exciting - this one is obvious and lacks conviction. Maybe I've read too many of his books and I am used to the formula but I thought poor old Taitha should have retired after the last book and I have a horrible feeling there will be another
"Not great"
I've read/listened to the previous Taita books and really enjoyed them, but this one seemed like an effort to listen to.
There didn't seem to be much point or aim to the story, and it seemed more 'fantastical' than the previous Taita stories, which made it less appealing to me. I like fantasy stories, but previous Taita stories seemed to be more 'realistic'. The Quest is purely fantasy with obvious magic which couldn't be explained by superstition etc.
As the previous reviewer said, it seems to be setting up for further Taita stories, but Wilbur Smith should have let him go in peace and come up with another 'hero' for the new stories.
"Sadly fisappointing"
Having read all of Wilbur Smith's other books I was looking forward to listening to this but found it so hard to get into that I gave up.
"Great finale"
The Quest is a fantastic finale to a great series. Just wish some producer would pick this one up. Would make a great film.
"The Quest"
The book started so well and was a great listen, but when in to a fantasy world at the end. That was disappointing.
whoops for choosing this one
whoops for it being written
whoops whoopie whoops!

iPhone Applications for the Sport Horse Industry
A few weeks ago, our favorite social media news blog, Mashable, wrote about Five Great iPhone Apps for Pet Owners. It was a fun post and we started to wonder what kind of apps are out there to support equine enthusiasts and sport horse professionals. Equine-oriented apps, it turns out, are a quickly growing segment of new applications for the iPhone or iPod Touch. In this feature post, we'll discuss a few of the currently offered applications, a few that are coming soon, and put out some ideas for apps that we think would be useful for the sport horse community.
Currently Available Applications
The first apps we found were from a Canadian company called Equiapps.com. Equiapps.com currently offers three applications – EquiCalc, a digital calculation of horse body weight; EquiTempo, a digital metronome for dressage training; and EquiList, a digital checklist of to-do items for shows and events. We chose to purchase EquiCalc ($.99 through the iTunes App Store), as we have been harboring a weight estimate for our VERY LARGE 4 y.o. gelding Fitch, but thought it would be interesting to see what the EquiCalc formula came up with. For supplements and medications, we always assume he's 1300 pounds.
Out at the barn, we measured Fitch's heartgirth and body length (the same way you measure for a blanket) and selected "Horse," as opposed to "Weanling" or "Yearling," on the EquiCalc screen. ("Behemoth" is not an available choice.) At 80″ x 69″, EquiCalc estimated Fitch's weight at 1380. While pleased that the calculation was so similar to our horseman's estimate, we were disappointed that the app does not have a way to save measurements for a single horse or for multiple horses.
We was also curious about EquiTempo ($1.99),with it's walk, trot and canter metronome settings that are adjustable in tempo. While we didn't give this one a try, the reviews for EquiTempo in the App Store are overall positive, with one rider questioning whether the digital metronome sound might be mistaken by some horses as a cluck. This could obviously be avoided by wearing ear buds, but we're aware that the use of headphones while riding is a contentious subject.
We also didn't try EquiList but the App Store reviews are fairly positive. The main suggestions from users are designations for discipline-specific lists and a process for saving custom list items.
With three applications currently available, EquiApps.com seems to be the segment leader in creating sport horse oriented apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It will be interesting to see what they come up with next…hopefully they'll take a look at our list of ideas below!
Upcoming Applications
Another company, EquestrianApps.com, offers two apps – TrailLogger and Dressage Tests. The Dressage Tests app was previously released on iTunes, but has been taken down to reversion and address reported bugs and errors. The upcoming release, currently awaiting Apple's approval, will also add Level 3 and Level 4 tests to the application. We think this could be a very useful application so stay tuned…I'll keep you posted on its release.
Another upcoming iPhone App release is HorseGirlTV, a popular online series focusing on news and education for the equine industry. The HorseGirlTv app will deliver the website's content, including its popular "webisode" videos, to a user's iPhone and iPod Touch. For you fans of HorseGirlTV and its host Angelea, we'll put out an update when the HorseGirlTV app is available for download.
More Ideas for Apps
None of the equine iPhone apps currently available or in development addressed the things that we think would be really useful to have in a portable application:
USEF Rule Book Application
Does anyone get the 3 ring binder version of the rule book anymore??? Both USEF and USDF have done a great job of making their rule books available online, but wouldn't a rule book iPhone app be a great, portable resource for trainers, stewards, horse show managers, and judges?
Health Care Management Application
Whether it's one or more personal horses or, for trainers, managing herd health, keeping track of vaccinations and worming, supplements, and medications is time consuming and unwieldy. Could an iPhone app keep track of worming and vaccination calendars, medication dates and dosages, and even feed charts?
Show and Event Calendars Applications
Again, breed and discipline organizations could provide an iPhone app that calendars major events, deadlines, etc.
What do you think of these ideas? Do you have other ideas for equine oriented iPhone applications? Leave a commment here to let Dappled Grey know.

Byram, Mississippi "Mayor" Nick Tremonte and his Gang of Five – the Byram "Board of Aldermen" – are at it again! Nick wants to waste our tax money on a full-time fire department.
Byram has had a good volunteer fire department since the 1970s, and holds a top rating. But Tremonte and his gang want to bring a larger burden to bear on the residents of Mississippi's newest city, and I can speak from experience on this, because my family and I are among them.
Tremonte has claimed that starting a full-time, paid fire department was the first thing that he had wanted to do after he was sworn in by Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant and Sec. of State Delbert Hosemann in 2009, but it seems that the first thing that he actually did was raise property taxes.
The fire chief has stated that most of the calls that the volunteer fire department receives are for minor medical problems. Yet while a full-time, paid fire department is not needed to replace our selfless volunteers, Tremonte wants between two and four fire stations. Byram is estimated to have a population of over 10,000.
While Byram shouldn't try to be exactly like any other city, we should learn lessons from other cities concerning what is likely to be good for Byram, and what is not likely to be good for Byram. I often like to compare our city to my hometown – Cleveland, Mississippi, a city with a population of about 13,841 plus about 4,500 students who are enrolled at Delta State University, which is in Cleveland.
Cleveland has had a volunteer fire department since 1920. The Cleveland Fire Department has two fire stations, and a high fire rating with the State Rating Bureau. It has three paid employees and 36 volunteer fire fighters. The paid employees include a Fire Inspector, Maintenance Engineer, and Maintenance Assistant.
Tremonte has stated that he wanted a paid fire department because having it would lower our insurance premiums, but, again, he could have saved Byram residents by choosing to not raise our property taxes.
The Mayor and the Board of Aldermen are making some improvements to the infrastructure in the city: they have installed a few traffic signals, they are working on widening the I-55 off ramp at the Byram exit, and they are improving some roads. But they have yet to fix potholes on Siwell Road – the main road through Byram, and they have not made the center turn lane safer by putting in a median.
As I have said before in previous articles, I personally heard Mayor Nick Tremonte say during a regular Board of Aldermen meeting that it wouldn't take him long to spend all that tax money, and he is proving that he is doing just that.

Atlanta Falcons cornerback Asante Samuel is writing checks in advance of Sunday's playoff matchup with the Seattle Seahawks, labelling himself and his playmaking prowess as 'Swag 100'.
"I'm swag 100% of the time,'' Samuel told Jim Corbett of USA TODAY Sports. "In order to have swag, you have to be balling -- doing your thing and making game-changing plays, like I've been doing." (he's talking about football, right?)
To Samuel, the man with the "Get Paid" tattoo, its all about swagger (well, and getting paid of course).
"It's all about being a leader, making everybody around you better," he said. "That's what I want to do, make everybody around me better and have everybody go out for one common goal: to win a championship.''
Although Samuel gave himself a new moniker, teammate Roddy White already had one for him. "Human Crowd Noise," he said laughing.
"Asante talks a lot. And he makes practice fun. Nobody is exempt, including me and Matt," said head coach Mike Smith. "Asante's been a great addition to our team. He exudes confidence in his game and it rubs off on other guys in the locker room.''
Note: Somebody make sure to get video of any conversations between him and Seattle CB Richard Sherman before and after the game, could be a veritable cornucopia of swagger.

Sept. 19, 2013

The tree of heaven makes a beautiful specimen tree for a large garden or a stunning shrub where space is limited, provided it is cut back hard each spring. It is grown for its attractive foliage and colourful, winged fruit, which follows the small, green, summer flowers. To guarantee a good display of fruit, it is best to grow more than one tree as individual plants usually produce either male or female flowers, and both sexes are required to produce fruit. Hot summers usually see the most profuse flowering and fruiting.

Privatising Jordan's economy: Too much of a good (or bad) thing?
One of the false conclusions drawn by some activists is that privatisation in Jordan was a failure because, they argue, it did not reduce public debt.
Why, they ask, did debt continue to rise despite privatisation?
In this respect, one has to stress the fact that privatisation is by no means a cure or a response to indebtedness.
Privatisation does not hinge on the fact that a country is a net borrower or a net lender. For example, some oil-exporting countries with huge surpluses of money undertook privatisation.
Privatisation happens because governments are not good at managing industrial, trading companies, hotels, etc.
The proceeds of the partial privatisation that took place in Jordan over 12 years did not exceed JD1.7 billion, of which JD1.5 billion were used to prepay part of the Paris Club foreign debt at a discount of 11 per cent.
This means that Jordan's outstanding debt would have been JD1.68 billion higher has it not been for privatisation money.
In any case, the proceeds of privatisation are only a drop in the bucket of debt, which is 12 times higher than the proceeds of privatisation.
In fact, privatisation did not only reduce public debt by JD1.68 billion plus future interest, it also reduced the Treasury's need to borrow over 12 years by JD3.5 billion, the revenues obtained by the government from the privatised enterprises in the form of profits, fees and taxes, an amount much higher than the companies were paying before privatisation.
If anything, part of those companies used to be financial burdens, rather than contributors to the Treasury.
And the government is still a major shareholder in the privatised companies.
One should not ignore the fact that the management of the privatised companies invested hundreds of millions of dinars in development and expansion, which the government would not have done had the companies remained under its ownership and management.
Maybe some do remember how telephones used to go dead after a small rush of rain, and the waiting time to install a telephone line could extend to five or nine years.
Another strange observation one needs to look at is criticism of the privatisation committee's report for being scientific and academic.
What is needed, some claim, is to answer the question of the street about the so-called corruption and stolen funds, a favourite expression of some populist politicians who offer nothing to support their doubts except the claim that the assets were sold cheap even though the valuation was made by major international banks and was fair at the time.
It is true that the share prices of the Arab Potash Company and the Jordan Phosphate Mines Company rose sharply after privatisation and achieved capital gains for the new investors, but at the same time, the value of the shares of the Jordan Cement Factories Company and the Royal Jordanian Airlines dropped after privatisation and caused huge losses to the new owners.

All animals respond to touch. It is both physically and psychologically necessary, as touch helps to increase blood flow. Touch is also a way of communication by letting our animals know we love them. That is why Cathy Sauer, owner of Chasing Dreams, LLC offers acupressure therapy as part of a her well-rounded program of wellness options for animals and pets.
"Acupressure has been around for thousands of years," said Sauer. "It is based on traditional Chinese medicine of preventative care. It provides a powerful healing tool for your pet."
Acupressure works by unblocking the meridians or channels where chi and blood flow to nourish the body.
"During a massage session, I use acupressure in conjunction with the massage where I feel tension or an animal becomes reactive at the acupressure points," continued Sauer. "However some animals such as cats and even some dogs who may not tolerate a full massage session can still benefit from acupressure. I will only work on the acupressure points and forego the full body massage in such cases."
Sauer added that this therapy is extremely beneficial in boosting the immune system and keeping the animal's body in balance.
"I usually recommend one session per week for the first two to four weeks, then reduce the sessions depending on the situation and how the animal responds," said Sauer. "My goal is always to get our pets on a maintenance schedule which is usually one session per month."
Cathy Sauer is a member of the International Association of Animal Massage Therapists, an association whose member technicians are trained and operate under guidelines specifically designed to achieve the ultimate benefits of animal massage therapy.
Chasing Dreams LLC is located in Central New Jersey. Sauer maintains a mobile office and works throughout Hunterdon, Somerset, Morris, Monmouth, Warren and Hudson Counties. Sauer can be reached through her website contact page with questions and to set up a consultation.

Each year brings its big events. 2013 was no different. Some of the "big events" were welcomed such as the Dow Jones hitting a new record high (December 31). Some "big events" were devastating like Typhoon Haiyan (November 3 to 11). Other big events were simply game changers like launch of the Obamacare website (October 1). What these big events have in common is that they affected a large number of people and they will be remembered for years to come.
There are also "big events" that primarily affect a certain group or community. It is unrealistic to think that big events are not felt beyond any group or community. Yet big events can be felt more strongly by a certain group though big events are (by their nature) "big" enough to affect an entire country or even the entireg planet.
Here are the five big events of 2013 that were felt by the African American community. This list might surprise you but they were definitely big.
George Zimmerman Acquittal (July 13)
In this "big event", there was the good and the bad. It started off quite good. George Zimmerman went on trial for killing Trayvon Martin on February 26, 2012. This was a good start because, immediately after the killing, the police were not going to investigate further and the DA was not going to prosecute. After the immense public outrage and demonstrations, George Zimmerman was charged with second-degree murder. Here is where the "good" part ends. On July 13, the verdict (after 16 hours of deliberation) acquitted him of all charges in the killing of Trayvon Martin. The marches and protests began again. President Obama even made a heartfelt and moving speech about the verdict. This big event during the summer of 2013 touched on the feelings of injustice and racism that the African American community has felt and experienced for decades. This "big event" verdict even rekindled thoughts of the lynching of 14-year old Emmett Till in Money, Mississippi in 1955 and the quick acquittals for his killers.
Supreme Court Decision on the Voting Rights Act (June 25)
Here is another "big event" court case. This time, the case involves one of the most important rights in a democracy: voting. This landmark case was almost overlooked because it was released on the day after a Supreme Court decision upholding federal recognition of same-sex marriage. The Court did not show the same respect for voting rights. In Shelby County v. Holder, the United States Supreme Court invalidated section 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Section 5 required certain jurisdictions that have a history of discriminatory voting practices to get advance approval from the federal government before changing their election laws. Section 5 was originally passed in 1965, and has been extended by Congress on four separate occasions. According to the congressional report, without Section 5 "racial and language minority citizens will be deprived of the opportunity to exercise their right to vote, or will have their votes diluted, undermining the significant gains made by minorities in the last 40 years." On June 25, the Supreme Court struck down this important section of the Voting Rights Act. Without a doubt, this was one of the worst and most far-reaching Supreme Court decisions to affect African Americans and other ethnic and racial minorities. This was a very big event. Watch out for changes in the voting laws!
50th Anniversary of the March on Washington (August 28)
This "big event" took 50 years in the making and it was very, very big. It was the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom! No, it was not the actual March on Washington, which was held on August 28, 1963 and attended by 250,000 people in the Capitol Mall and topped off with the "I Have a Dream" speech by Dr. Martin Luther King. But it was the fiftieth anniversary and it made people remember that incredible day. For youngsters who were not yet born or for people who could not make the trip to U.S. capital that day, the anniversary celebration on August 28th was a day to remember the march, reflect on the meaning of the march, and to gain a deeper understanding on the march. How many people knew that the march was focused on jobs and freedom? This big event caused people to consider the impact of the march and to examine how the U.S. is faring on freedom and jobs five decades after the march. It was a golden opportunity!
Scottsboro Boys Pardon (November 21)
Here is a "big event" in the courts that had a good outcome. The three remaining Scottsboro boys were pardoned. The Scottsboro boys were nine African American youths who were convicted in 1931 in Alabama for the rape of two white women. The group went through numerous trials, appeals, lawyers, Supreme Court decisions, all-white juries, witness recantations, eight death sentences, imprisonment and an attempted lynching. Six of the Scottsboro youths had already been pardoned over the decades. However, Haywood Patterson, Charles Weems, and Andy Wright continued to live under their criminal convictions. On November 21, they were posthumously pardoned by the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles--eighty years after their alleged "crimes". Was this a "better late than never" big event or a simply long-term denial of justice for the Scottsboro boys and their families?
Death of Nelson Mandela (December 5)
On December 5, 2013, the world lost one of the greatest people of the 20th century: Nelson Mandela. This was not only a "big event" for African Americans, but for the world. He was 95 years old, but his death still came as a surprise and it hit hard. Yet his death and legacy remind us that heroes do exist and they are changing the world. African Americans were filled with such pride and respect for their "father" and his loss left a hole that cannot be filled—and he cannot be replaced. His funeral was a multi-day, internationally televised event that showed a personal, loving, truly African side to this fascinating man. Mr. Mandela was a role model for the world. His bright smile, vision, and glow are a beacon for all peace-loving people to follow. He will be missed. Amandla…awethu!
Celebrate 2014!
2013 was a year of big events. Yet a new year has come: 2014 is another year filled with promise and hope. Big events—good, bad, and game changing—are sure to happen. They bring excitement and opportunity. Bring it!

The Las Vegas housing market appears to be settling into a more sustainable condition as price points are stabilizing and availability is returning to healthier levels. The median price of existing home sales is now at $160,000 which is up 28 percent over one year ago. The new home median price is much higher at $293,738. That's up 34.1 percent over this time last year. With that said, gains in new home sales prices have started to slow as increased availability in the resale market has emerged. For example, last November, 3,339 existing homes sold versus 424 new homes.
The mix of homes sold on the resale market has transitioned from distressed activity to the more traditional equity sales. As a matter of fact, non-distressed sales accounted for 7 out of 10 closings last month. Notice of Defaults are down 69.4 percent over one year ago. Foreclosures are down 28.9 percent and Trustee Sales down 37.1 percent in the past year. In November 2013, 395 Notices of Default were served while 396 homes were foreclosed on.
In spite of the decrease in foreclosures and Notice of Defaults served, delinquency does remain a concern in the Las Vegas real estate market and the full impact of the Homeowners' Bill of Rights is yet to be seen in the marketplace.

My good friend Elliott Curson recently gave me an iPhone. Enough said.
As a photojournalist at The Philadelphia Inquirer until 2009, I traveled the world, the country and the region photographing everything from wars to World Series. Now I work on personal photographic projects, many with my wife, Kass Mencher. For over two decades we've worked on a series titled "Duets", which juxtaposes our pictures of the same place, person, event or landscape. We recently finished a long-term project on the Lincoln Highway, the first cross-country road in the United States. We've also been living part of the year in Guatemala and Mexico, photographing and enjoying the wonderful and warm cultures of those two unique countries.

A lot of our recent snow melted today and it will continue to do so over the next couple of days as temperatures warm up! Highs will be in the 30s Wednesday, 40s Thursday, and possibly 50s on Friday!
Make sure you still have the coat handy early Wednesday morning as lows dip down into the teens once again. Skies will be mostly cloudy during the day meaning only a modest rise in temperatures to around the freezing mark.
High pressure brings more sunshine on Thursday and Friday which will help highs soar into the 40s and possibly 50 degrees. Expect lows to come up as well especially on Friday morning as temperatures only dip into the upper 20s.
A week cool front will bring clouds and perhaps as passing shower on Saturday. This will temporarily knock highs back down into the 30s on Sunday and lower 40s on Saturday. Temperatures will rebound once again at the start of next week. Have a great day!

Why we should not only not raise the debt ceiling, but should repudiate the debt.
Raising the federal debt ceiling means the federal government can expand and spend more money to do so because it will be leant money it does not have and cannot raise through taxes by borrowing from foreign governments and the Federal Reserve.
Where does the Federal Reserve get money, since it has no power to levy taxes? It prints or digitizes it out of thin air.
The Federal Reserve gets to consider the Treasury bills and other debt instruments it "buys" when it loans to the federal government, essentially loan documents, as assets, and use them as collateral in fractional reserve banking, upon which it then makes further loans.
Part of the reason it gets to consider the debts its borrower (i.e. the government) owes it as an asset that it can use to make more loans to the government is because the debt is really a form of title ownership. The federal government does have title to something that has been pledged by the federal government to the Federal Reserve, in the same way your car or house title is pledged to your lender who makes you a loan.
The thing the federal government has a title to....
the thing it owns....
the thing it is pledging.....
You and your children are slaves the federal government owns. Your future income is pledged to the Federal Reserve for it to make a loan to your owner.
This is why I say repudiate the debt.

For the discriminating vacationer out there seeking to add something a little different to your travel checklist, consider sea turtle conservation. That's right. Sea turtle conservation is becoming one of the most popular programs at resorts along the US's east coast, various places in Mexico and throughout the Caribbean. This eco-minded activity is catching on so well in upscale resorts and high-end boutique vacation destinations, it can reasonably be called trendy. But the trend is definitely a noble one that has benefits for tourist and turtle alike. And right now is a good time to get on board. In a conservation kind of way, it's sea turtle season!
Every spring, starting around March, sea turtles heft their shelled might onto sandy beaches – often the same beautiful white crescents upon which tourists like to relax and take long romantic walks. For the turtles, it's time to dig nests and lay eggs. This is one of the best times of year to see a full-grown sea turtle up close and personal. This is also a vulnerable time for them as the pregnant mothers and their eggs become exposed to land-based predators of many kinds, including shore birds, iguanas and raccoons, among others. All sea turtles bury their eggs in sandy pits approximately two feet deep, which serve to incubate and protect the eggs. But many of those pits are excavated and quickly emptied by those hungry predators. A few months later, between mid-summer and late fall, their struggle becomes even more perilous as the hatchlings dig themselves free of the sand and hurry towards the ocean. Alas, many of those hatchlings will not complete the short but vital journey to the protective waters. And even if they do, many of them will not survive to adulthood to repeat the process and give birth to the next generation. On top of the natural obstacles sea turtles face every year, there are numerous unnatural ones, like habitat loss via coastal development, pollution, feral dogs, and possibly the worst of all: poachers! This is where conservation comes into play.
For the tourist, if merely seeing a sea turtle while on a boat cruise, snorkel adventure or scuba dive is a thrill, then getting directly involved in their protection and success of their lifecycle is a memorable adventure for the rest of someone's life. For many decades, sea turtle conservation has relied on grassroots style volunteerism, which, while helpful for the turtles and exciting for many eco-minded travelers, has not always been accessible or even very popular among resort tourists. Today, however, some of the most beautiful and lavish beach resorts are helping to change that. In the last several years, many coastal resorts have not only made sea turtle conservation accessible to guests who may never even have known about it before, their efforts are also making it a fun and educational activity for visitors of all ages. It's truly an opportunity to exercise the inner biologist in everyone. From resort-based kid's programs to conservation-themed cocktail parties, safeguarding sea turtles isn't merely becoming popular, it's becoming, well, kind of sexy!
In the spring during nesting season, from early March to about mid-June, some resorts offer the chance for tourists to assist in spotting the 200+ pound maternal sea turtles crawling up onshore to dig their nests. Spotters also get to help create protective barriers and in some cases even help resort staff relocate the vulnerable ping-pong ball-sized eggs to more protected locations within the resort property until it's time for the eggs to hatch. In late summer and early fall, during hatching season, guests are invited to help the silver dollar-sized hatchlings into the ocean, often by personally hand-delivering the newborns onto the sand just above the warm waves. Most of these activities occur just after sunset, the optimal time of day for turtle nesting and hatching. These evening programs afford an interesting and unforgettable alternative to the other more conventional nighttime resort events.
Many high-end resorts now harbor their own nature centers and wildlife conservation programs or partner with other institutions that include sea turtle conservation as just one of their onsite ecological programs with which tourists can get involved. Those nature centers frequently employ teams of biologists who care for sea turtles year-round, as well as run eco-education packages for kids and lead nature tours for guests of all ages. The St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort, Puerto Rico, for instance, has an onsite nature center and environmental outreach program that serves to protect native wildlife above and below sea level and reaches out to its many yearly visitors as well as the local population.
Like conservation for other marine creatures such as whales, dolphins, manatees and sharks, sea turtle conservation has a long way to go, but it's already come a long way and it's making giant strides with efforts like the ones made by proactive resorts that are wisely investing in the future of sea turtles, raising public awareness for ocean conservation, and raising the bar for interactive resort-based conservation. Eco-tourism is definitely getting a boost.
[Not too long ago I published an article about resort-based sea turtle conservation that profiled the efforts made by a single resort, Live Aqua in Cancun, Mexico, which you can read here. Below is a list of other resorts that are fully on board with this noble cause, providing sanctuary for sea turtles and amazing experiences for guests.

For the nature enthusiast and conservation-minded resort guest, the St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort, Puerto Rico, might just be the cream of the crop. This is an inspiring destination located at the foot of El Yunque National Rainforest. In addition to its almost 500 acres of protected rainforest, the resort has a pristine beach where guests are invited to "guardian" the leatherback sea turtles and their nesting activities on the property's shore. Guests taking part in this experience can alert the staff to be called (at any time of day) to protect the vulnerable turtles as they hatch on Bahia Beach. The resort's efforts towards eco-tourism are impressive to say the least. As a result they are recognized as the Caribbean's first and only Audubon International Certified Gold Signature Sanctuary resort. The property teems with sustainable luxuries spearheaded by the on-site marine biologist at the property's Nature Center.
Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Beach Resort and Spa
In response to the influx of interest from nature-seeking guests, Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Beach Resort and Spa invites travelers to bear witness to the sea turtle nesting ritual that takes place on their sandy shores from March to November. Partnering with the Department of Natural Resources, guests can watch resident hawksbill, leatherback, and green sea turtles lay their eggs, or witness the hatching of these amazing creatures.
CasaMagna Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort and Spa
Conservation efforts have paid off through the 12 years of CasaMagna Marriott Puerto Vallarta's "Sea Turtle Rescue" protection program, part of the resort's "Secretos de la Familia" culture immersion. The oceanfront resort receives about 30% of the turtles that nest in Puerto Vallarta and invites guests to take part in the rescue effort by combing the beach for turtle eggs. When the eggs are ready to hatch, guests may choose a baby turtle to name, wish it luck and send it on its way back to its natural habitat in the ocean. In 2013 alone, 508 nests were collected with 36,708 sea turtles released back into the sea.
The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa
Located within the Port Royal Plantation on the Atlantic Ocean, the newly renovated Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa hosts a nightly Turtle Talk and Walk for guests in partnership with the Coastal Discovery Museum. All resort outdoor venues have a strict lights-out policy in order to make sure sea turtle activities go on naturally and unhindered. Additionally, all outdoor associates wear Loggerhead Apparel shirts designed by a Greenville, SC company, which donates 10 percent of its sales (not just of its profits) to loggerhead conservation. This very family-friendly property boasts a Westin Kids Club, where young guests learn about sea turtle nesting and hatching activities that take place right on the resort beach, including the importance of protecting the turtle nests. Kids are given opportunity to watch the just-hatched turtles make their way from the resort beach to the ocean. Children are also invited to participate in making stick and rope barriers around the nests to keep them safe.
W Fort Lauderdale
This March – October, W Fort Lauderdale isn't dimming the lights just to set the mood. In order to protect sea turtles crawling ashore at night to make nests, the ocean front hotel will darken their atmosphere, and offer guests an option to donate $1 to the Sea Turtle Oversight Protection (STOP) on top of every cocktail. Partygoers can feel like they are a part of the cause when they donate $1 and receive an "amber" glow bracelet and a postcard explaining the program.

Asparagus & Canadian Bacon Omelet
An omelet is a satisfying meal to start the day, and will give you staying power until your midmorning snack. Although cooking a low-fat omelet may seem complicated at first glance, it will quickly become second nature.Yield: 1 serving
Active Time: 10
Total Time: 10
- 10 stalks asparagus, trimmed and chopped
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon water, divided
- 2 slices Canadian bacon, diced (1 ounce)
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup liquid egg substitute, such as Egg Beaters
- 1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- Bring asparagus and 1/4 cup water to a boil in a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cover and cook until the asparagus is slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking until the water has evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add Canadian bacon and oil to the pan and stir to coat. Pour in egg substitute, reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking, stirring constantly with a heatproof rubber spatula, until the egg is starting to set, about 20 seconds. Continue cooking, lifting the edges so the uncooked egg will flow underneath, until mostly set, about 30 seconds more.
- Sprinkle cheese, salt and pepper over the omelet. Lift up an edge of the omelet and drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon water under it. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook until the egg is completely set and the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Fold over using the spatula and serve.

Whats 3 letters for dependable? Goc
early peek at my Goc feature
CORAL SPRINGS When eight of the 10 newly acquired Panthers showed up at their introductory press conference in early July, no one seemed to notice that an unheralded Marcel Goc was missing until General Manager Dale Tallon explained that the softspoken German was back home with his wife and newborn child.
Actually, assistant General Manager Mike Santos knew exactly what was missing when he signed his former Nashville Predators' favorite to a three-year deal worth $5.1 million on the first day of free agency.
"He's the most complete player we have on this team, as far as playing in all zones, winning faceoffs, killing penalties, contributing offensively,'' Santos said Saturday night before Goc sealed a thrilling 3-2 home-opener victory over the Lightning with the game-deciding shootout goal.
"He can do it all.''
And opposing players such as new teammate Kris Versteeg despise playing against the 28-year-old, lanky centerman who always seems to be in the right spot.
"I told him that I hated playing against him all these years,'' Versteeg said. "We had a great rivalry when I was in Chicago. Guys just hate playing against him."
Goc's linemate Sean Bergenheim says it's because he's such a, "responsible player and so smart with the puck that he makes it hard for the opponent.''
Goc's right wing on the third line, Jack Skille, owns him in the, 'Words with Friends' iPhone scrabble game but rarely gets the last word in on a strategy session or bus-ride chirp-fest.
"Before the game he's talking strategies of what we should do in certain situations to have us prepared,'' Skille said. "He's quiet, but if you throw a chirp his way, he's intelligent and will throw his two cents back at you that's funny.''
Despite playing 11 minutes less than Weiss, Goc is only four won faceoffs behind him for the team lead. He led Nashville with a 52.1 faceoff percentage in 2009-10 and was second to San Jose star center Joe Thornton in his rookie season of 2005-06.
It's probably no coincidence that Goc leads all Panthers forwards in minutes played on the league's top-ranked penatly-killing unit.
"It feel good if people like the way you play and want you on your team,'' said Goc, coming off two consecutive seasons of career-best plus-10 ratings. "I like to think I have more left in me. If not for shoulder surgery last year, I would've had a career high, and hope to accomplish that this year. Everybody wants to score.''
Goc, who also scored a goal in the 4-2 loss to the Penguins last week, isn't as flashy as fellow newcomers Tomas Fleischmann or Versteeg, and with a career-high 12 goals in '09-10, doesn't possess the scoring resume of Panthers stalwarts' Stephen Weiss and David Booth.
Yet, rookie head coach Kevin Dineen chose Bergenheim, Fleischmann and Goc for the shootout session, a category that has haunted the Panthers (now 25-44) since its inception five years ago.
And he delivered the lone tally with a slick deke and backhander through Lightning goalie Mathieu Garon, giving him a 4-for-12 shootout mark (compared to Weiss' mundane 6 of 31 and Booth's 2 of 10).
"We did [shootout drills] here and I looked at his record,'' Dineen said after Sunday's optional practice."I didn't use Weiss or Booth, both quality scorers, but some times I go for feel during the game.''
Goc, who's seemingly ghost-like during media access, doesn't seek attention or make excuses, but he doesn't mince words when it comes to his scrabble beatdowns by Skille.
"It's not my native language,'' he smiled. "I blame the bad letters I've been getting.''

Gerber Elementary School is getting students ready for their future. The school has become a "No Excuses University" school. The program teaches students as young as five years old the importance of going to college.
The program is meant to excite the students about going to college and reminding them that they all have the opportunity to go to a university.
"I think it helps them because they realize there's options out there and anywhere from Southern California to Maine, they can go to any university and choose which one they want to attend there's a perfect fit for everyone," says Assistant Principal Jenny Marr.
Gerber became a part of this in September. It's a complex six-step system that teaches students how to set goals now for their future, by incorporating college into the curriculum.
For example, students in kindergarten through eighth grade are assigned to study college-level vocabulary words.
"It's good to know that you have people out there willing to help you go to college and willing to work with you," said Eric Spencer, an eighth grade student.
There are a total of three schools in Tehama County that are "No Excuses University" schools. They include Richfield, Gerber and Jackson Heights.

College Hockey:Harvard Ties Series With 3-2 Win Over St. Lawrence
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — A night removed from a lackluster performance that captain Peter Hafner termed "shocking" and "embarrassing," the Harvard Crimson (18-11-2) responded to the pressure of facing playoff elimination with an inspired first-period effort and two third-period goals to post a come-from-behind 3-2 win over St. Lawrence (21-16-2). Harvard's victory tied the teams' playoff series at one game apiece, and it sets up a decisive game three for Sunday evening.
Harvard came out with an edge in the first period, peppering St. Lawrence with 17 shots and, in turn, allowing the Saints only five shots. That was in stark contract to the opening period in game one, in which St. Lawrence dominated Harvard and allowed only four shots on net in the first 20 minutes.
"In the first period, I thought we came out with a purpose and really battled," said Harvard coach Ted Donato.
"They were coming at us pretty hard," agreed St. Lawrence coach Joe Marsh. "They had great jump all night."
Harvard's lone first-period goal came on its only power play of the night. After several foiled attempts to set up in the Saint Lawrence zone, the Crimson worked the puck in and managed to keep it there. Forward Paul Dufault battled for control of the puck along the low boards, managed to gain a little breathing room and fired a pass across ice to defenseman Tom Walsh. Walsh took the pass at the blue line, took a few quick steps to his left and sent a sharp wrist shot that passed St. Lawrence goaltender Justin Pesony low on his glove side. That goal came at 11:00 of the first, and though the Crimson had more than a few scoring chances, the score after one period had Harvard leading, 1-0.
"The first period they really took it to us, and I think we were fortunate to only be down, 1-0," Marsh said.
"I liked our response in the second," he continued. "We were able to score right away, and we worked hard to create some momentum and give ourselves the opportunity to score that second goal."
The Saints first goal came on their initial power play after Harvard forward Jon Pelle was whistled for contact to the head, roughing after the first period had already ended. On the ensuing power play, St. Lawrence captain Mike Madill was stationed at the point when he received a pass from leading scorer T.J. Trevelyan down on the left side boards. Madill lined up for a slapshot, drew Harvard defenseman Jack Christian out in an attempt to block the shot, and then fired an excellent pass across to Chase Trull at the back door. Harvard goaltender John Daigneau couldn't slide across the crease in time and Trull easily tapped home the game-tying goal 51 seconds in the middle period.
"I wasn't particularly pleased with the penalty at the 20 minute mark," Donato said. "It puts them on the power play with a fresh sheet of ice. When you're in big games like this and your back is against the wall, you just can't afford to give teams like that an easy opportunity."
Having converted on their power-play opportunity, the Saints regained some confidence and built up momentum. They limited Harvard to a mere three shots in the period while sending 14 of their own at Daigneau, who managed 12 saves in the second. The other puck that Daigneau could not corral was a bullet of a shot from Madill; it came at 13:06 of the second from atop the right face-off circle, and resounded with a sharp clang off the back pipe.
Down, 2-1, and faced with the likely end to its season if the score did not change, the Crimson rebounded from its sub par second to re-assert control of the game in the third. Harvard tied the game at 2-2 not quite one minute into the final period when Ryan Maki made a great individual effort. After receiving a pass from linemate Kevin Du, he worked the puck behind the net and off the boards, and fired a hard, odd-angle shot from the bottom left-hand side of the left face-off circle that beat Pesony clean.
The score remained tied at 2-2 for more than 15 minutes as the teams alternated quality scoring chances. Daigneau made 12 important stops in the third, and Pesony came up with a huge pad save off a shot from Tyler Magura during a two-on-one Harvard breakaway at 12:55.
Pesony was unable to stop the game winner less than five minutes later, though. Dufault passed the puck to defenseman Dylan Reese near the blue line. Reese moved in and lined up a shot on net, but his bid was deflected up into the air. The puck fluttered for what seemed like six seconds before falling to the ice within easy reach of Harvard's Dave Watters. Watters sent a low wrister on net, Pesony was unable to find the puck through a screen, and Harvard got the game-winning goal with just under two and a half minutes remaining.
"I thought our guys really responded in the third period and refused to be denied," said Donato. "I'm very proud of our effort."
The series will be decided at 7:00 p.m. Sunday night in the Bright Hockey Center. The winner will advance to the semifinals of the ECACHL Tournament in Albany, while the losing team will be knocked out the ECACHL Tournament and possibly postseason play in the NCAA Tournament.

It's the "eye candy" art gallery labels that grab your interest first; then it's the unique wines in the Imagery Estate Winery selections.
The two framed works – 2012 albarino and 2013 viognier – are not distributed widely. So, grab these little gems when you taste them at the winery.
The albarino ($29) selection is known as the most popular white wine of Spain, in a region in the northwest corner of the county" said winemaker Joe Benziger. "Wet and chilly winters combined with dry, humid summers are the norm. The varietal's unusually thick skin is necessary for the grape's survival. The clay and loam soil in Sonoma Valley gives the grape a softer, rounder wine."
Possibility unfamiliar to traditional wine drinkers, this varietal is very dry with green apple, burnt almonds and tangy citrus on the palate. Mineral aromas cascade into the glass.
"Our viognier ($29) comes from the cooler climate of the Russian River Valley, which allows for longer hang times," he said. "This varietal is well-known for its floral aromas."
This irresistible selection is packed with honeydew melon, apricot and pear aromas that repeat their performance on the palate. The winemaker suggests pouring this viognier with citrus salads or a zesty chicken bake.

June 24, 1998
SEATTLE - Don McKeta, who helped Washington win bask-to-back Rose Bowl football games in 1960-61, will be honored this week by the All-American Football Foundation. The Husky halfback will be inducted into the foundation's "Unsung Heroes" category at the organization's Banquet of Champions XII Thursday night at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas.
In addition to McKeta, Wisconsin's Tom Weisner, Oregon's Dan Garza and USC's Jim Callanan will be recognized as Unsung Hero Award winners. Former Husky running back Hugh McElhenny will also be honored at the banquet with the organization's Golden Anniversary All-American Award.
McKeta, the only player in the history of the Husky football program to win consecutive Flaherty inspirational awards, will be recognized for his contribution to the success of those Husky teams while playing in the shadow of more celebrated teammates. His "play it from the heart" approach was the rallying cry for UW teams that went 20-2 in the 1959 and 1960 seasons.
McKeta was a game captain when the Huskies won in Pasadena, crushing Wisconsin, 44-8, in the 1960 Rose Bowl and surprising No. 1-ranked Minnesota, 17-7, a year later. Those two victories ended the Big 10 Conferences's domination of the Rose Bowl and returned West Coast football to national respectability.
"Don was the unsung hero and team leader who, more than any other player, set the example of 'total commitment and performance beyond talent' that became the cornerstone of the Husky tradition," said Rick Redman, a Husky All-American in 1963-64 and a Hall-of-Fame member.
McKeta, who lives in Seattle and now works as a consultant for a construction company, was a Husky assistant with coach Jim Owens after completing his playing career as a Husky. The All-American Football Foundation award caught him by surprise.
"I'd never even thought about the Hall of Fame thing until a few months ago when Chuck Carroll told me about the 'unsung hero' catergory," McKeta said. "It's a great honor for me, especially after all those years."
Carroll, a UW All-American in 1928 and one of only two Huskies to have their football jersey numbers retired, was joined in nominating McKeta for the national honor by Redman, former running great Hugh McElhenny, Washington head coaches, past and present, Jim Owens, Don James and Jim Lambright, and media members who followed McKeta as a player.
"Don's leadership was an intergral part of the team's two Rose Bowl victories." Lambright said. "He set forth an incredible example to those around him, with the strength of hos character. He more than any other player, turned the Husky program around and changed PAC-10 football."
Owens recalled McKeta's role in clinching the second Rose Bowl trip with a come-from-behind victory over Washington State in Spokane. In the first half, McKeta left the game with a deep gash in his leg that required eight stitches. "Even though he had a painful leg injury, he was in on our final drive for a touchdown," Owens said. "Then he caught the two-point conversion pass for the 8-7 victory over the Cougars."
McElhenny pointed out how McKeta's unselfish approach to the game and his all-around talents perfectly fit the one-platoon style of the early 1960's. "He probably was not the most gifted athlete but had a huge heart and was willing to sacrifice personal glory and recognition and made the team's success his No. 1 priority.
"Don lacked blazing speed or great size but he inspired his teammates and helped them reach great heights. He is truly an unsung player deserving of this award."
Added Owens: "Being selected as a co-captain and voted the inspirational award by his teammates on two of the best teams to ever represent the University of Washington speaks to their respect for Don's leadership and undeniable will to win."
