One must have the gift of a storyteller and a wide breadth of knowledge to provide historical narratives for future generations.
How does someone weave a story that illustrates the complexities of an era in a manner that provides insight into the very soul of a nation and its people?
What will future historians observe about America in the early 21st century? Economic turmoil has wreaked havoc on individuals as well as once-solid financial institutions.
Environmental and economic debates regarding the price of energy and the health of the planet have accelerated in intensity.
Certainly the escalating price of oil and America's dependence on foreign crude has been the impetus behind those who advise and those who question the benefits of drilling for oil in environmentally sensitive areas.
Lost in the shadow of questionable short-term solutions is the reality that America has to rethink its long-term energy policies in relation to our nation's insatiable energy appetite.
The dialogue about America's multi-faceted military/economic presence in Iraq and Afghanistan may have waned in the past several months, but only because the financial roof of many families is being buried under a mountain of debt.
In addition, hot-button social issues regarding immigration, gay marriage, and abortion continue to ignite the passions and volatility of personal and public opinions.
These issues have invariably become political; forcing those who are considered the major political players of our day into the media forefront. Historians will no doubt choose the political arena as a starting point for discussion, simply because politics brings the whole social enchilada together.
Trust me, the world is watching America's political race for the presidency. What will history reveal about the judgment and policies of the man who next resides in the White House?
After a primary season that was both surprising and exhausting (for the public as well as the players), we have two candidates whose biographies, temperaments, and ages are poles apart.
I doubt that many people would have bet that either Barack Obama or John McCain would have clinched their respective party's nominations for president, but despite the never-ending speculation by political pundits, the American people chose two men who represent a change in the status quo. Or do they?
Personally, I think that both candidates are a validation that the American people are sick of the state of the union. While the dreadful legacy of the Bush administration is no longer questioned, the strategies for renewal and the plans to implement changes (as opposed to endlessly talking about them or watering them down until they are worthless) are being hotly debated by both candidates.
While John McCain sees himself as a political maverick and crusader who is aghast by the shenanigans of Washington and the K Street lobbyists, his choice of advisers for his campaign illustrates his true colors and makes me question just about everything he says.
Two men who have played pivotal roles in McCain's political camp just happen to represent everything he publicly disavows.
If McCain is campaigning about lobbying reform, why did he chose Charlie Black to be his top political strategist? A brief bio of Black quickly dismisses any chance of lobbying reform in Washington under a McCain administration.
Charlie Black is considered a "company man," heading up a top Washington lobbying firm. Until House rules forced Black to take a leave of absence from his lobbying firm, he had regularly conducted business from inside McCain's "Straight Talk" headquarters.
So whom has Charlie Black lobbied for? The influence he has peddled has benefited Blackwater (the contract mercenary army who answers to no legal authority), AT&T (the company that agreed to spy on Americans), Rupert Murdock (head of the right-of-center communications conglomerate), Lockheed Martin and Phillip Morris. You have to admit that these corporations buy influence and manipulate public policy and have poured money into McCain's campaign coffers.
Black's less-than-honorable role as the informational representative of Chalabi, the convicted political Iraqi exile who played a key role in Bush's preemptive attack on Iraq, illustrates that he was a willing player in Bush's neo-conservative foreign policy debacle.
Last, but not least, Black was the political director of Jessie Helm's first run for the Senate (not the kind of guy you think of as a bastion of change).
Another questionable pick on McCain's team of advisers was none other than Phil Graham, otherwise known as "Foreclosure Phil" to many who have paid the price of the deregulation legislation he rammed through the Senate as head of the powerful banking committee.
Compassion for those who live from paycheck to paycheck is not Graham's strong suit, which was obvious when he had the temerity to say that he lacked patience with stories about people facing hard times and that America had become "a nation of whiners"!
Let me add that once Graham left the Senate, his seven-figure income as a vice chairman for U.B.S. (a Swiss banking firm) led him back into the Washington D.C. circles as a lobbyist culling governmental favors.
Graham's securing of financial wealth was directly related to his powerful connections as a senator. While embracing all of Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy, he has ignored the plight of the lower and middle classes.
McCain has stated that he is not an expert on economic issues, which I do not fault him for. However, I don't see how the two advisers I have mentioned represent anyone other than the wealthiest segments of society.
Greed and a faith in unfettered free markets fueled the deregulation of financial institutions. The checks and balances that kept mismanagement and corruption at bay were dismantled, and now Americans are being asked to ante up and bail out the wealthy wonks who created the mess.
McCain was not ignorant of Graham's economic philosophy (they were Senate buddies for over 20 years) or Black's lobbying connections.
The truth is, McCain may occasionally be incensed by corruption, but his shoot from the hip approach to problems and his reliance on entrenched, Washington insiders make me question his sincerity and certainly his judgment.

Dragonseyeby Anne Mccaffrey
Thread: deadly silver strands that fall from the sky like rain, devouring every organic thing in their path - animals, plants, and people alike. Who could believe that such a horrible thing could exist? After all, it's been two hundred years since Thread supposedly fell on Pern. No one alive remembers that first onslaught. There's no sign of it anywhere in the world. Only the dragons, originally created to be a weapon against Thread, are still around to remind people that once before their population was decimated, their hopes and dreams and livelihoods almost destroyed forever. For two centuries the dragonriders have been practicing and training, passing down from generation to generation the Threadfighting techniques learned on the fly by their besieged ancestors. And most of the Lord Holders are prepared to protect their people, to provide sanctuary, to assemble groundcrews to search out and destroy any Thread that might be missed by the dragons soaring overhead. All but one. Even now the ominous signs are appearing: the violent winter storms and volcanic eruptions that are said to herald the approach of the Red Star and its lethal spawn. Impossibly, one stubborn Lord Holder, Chalkin of Bitra, refuses to believe - and that disbelief could spell disaster for all of Pern. So while the dragonriders desperately train to face an enemy they've never fought before, they and the other Lord Holders must find a way to deal with Chalkin and protect Bitra.

First Warning (Acorna's Children #1)by Anne Mccaffrey Elizabeth A. Scarborough
Beloved by millions of readers, Anne McCaffrey is one of science fiction's favorite authors. Writing with award-winning author Elizabeth Ann Scarborough, she has created the bestselling Acorna series focusing on the adventures of the brave unicorn girl. Now the exciting saga of the next generation begins. First Warning Khorii, daughter of the near-mythic Acorna and her lifemate, Aari, must contend with an overwhelming legacy to forge a path of her own through a universe filled with new adversaries and adventures. A simple journey home to visit her parents turns into a race against time when Khorii happens upon a derelict spacecraft drifting in space, its crew dead in their seats. But this gruesome discovery is only a dread harbinger-a deadly plague is spreading across the universe and not even the healing powers of the Linyaari can slow its horrific advance. Khorii, one of the few unaffected by the outbreak, must find the nefarious perpetrators and a cure before the disease consumes all in its path-including her beloved parents.
Freedom's Challengeby Anne Mccaffrey
The alien Catteni invaded Earth and enslaved thousands of humans on the planet Botany, where they struggle to survive while colonizing the world for their overseers. Now that they've proved Botany is capable of sustaining life, Kris Bjornsen and her fellow settlers have no intention of surrendering the home they've created for themselves... Armed with the knowledge that the true enemy behind the Catteni is the Eosi race, Kris has begun a campaign to free Botany's settlers by raising a rebellion among her people against their parasitic oppressors. Aided by her Catteni lover, Zainal, Kris and the colonists manage to steal warships--and discover dissidents on other Eosi-controlled worlds. If all of the subjugated races join forces, they will have an army large enough to win their freedom and their worlds. The war of liberation has begun.
Freedom's Challenge (Catteni #3)by Anne Mccaffrey
Kris Bjornsen has come a long way since alien slave ships scooped her up in Denver with thousands of others. Dropped off on an apparently uninhabited world with the rest, she has fallen in love with Zainal, a renegade Catteni, and made a comfortable life for herself and her new family. But she feels a soldier's duty to escape Botany and rejoin the struggle for freedom. As the Eosi overlords continue to drop captives on Botany, the colonists learn that there are freedom fighters on every captured world, and Earth is full of pockets of resistance. There are even rebels among the warlike Catteni. Now the colonists have the technology they need to go back to war with the deadly Eosi - with a surprise strike at the enslaved planet Earth itself!
Freedom's Choice (Catteni #2)by Anne Mccaffrey
Abducted by the alien Catteni, Kristin Bjornsen was one of many humans brought to the planet Botany as part of an experiment to see if it could support life. Enslaved and forced to colonize a world not their own, the settlers have accepted Botany as their home--a home worth fighting for... Kristin's people have learned that the aliens responsible for their imprisonment are merely mercenaries, subjugated by the parasitic Eosi Race, and that Botany is being farmed remotely by some unknown species--a species that may be sympathetic to the colonists' struggle for freedom. The "Farmers" refuse to join the humans in their rebellion against the Catteni, but they agree to use their technological skills to shield Botany and hide it from its enemies--buying Kristin and the settlers time to build up their forces and liberate their world...
Freedom's Landingby Anne Mccaffrey
Kristin Bjornsen lived a normal life, right up until the day the spaceships floated into view above Denver. As human slaves were herded into the maw of a massive vessel, Kristin realized her normal life was over and her fight for freedom was just beginning... The alien Catteni value strength and intelligence in their slaves--and Kristin has managed to survive her enslavement while hundreds of other humans have not. But her trial has just begun, for now she finds herself part of a massive experiment. The aliens have discovered a new world, and they have a simple way of finding out if it's habitable: drop hundreds of slaves on the surface and see what happens. If they survive, colonization can begin. If not, there are always more slaves.
Freedom's Ransomby Anne Mccaffrey
Enslaved on an uninhabited planet by the alien Eosi, Kristin Bjornsen and her fellow humans not only survived against all odds to colonize the world now known as Botany, but liberated themselves from their captors and claimed it as their home... The colonists could not have achieved victory without the help of the exiled Catteni alien, Zainal, who helped Kris contact other races subjugated by the Eosi, and inspired the rebellion that freed them all. To ensure Botany's future, its people must build alliances. In the wake of alien devastation, Earth has been looted of its technology--technology Botany desperately needs. If Kris and Zainal can reclaim the stolen goods, they can assist Earth while setting a foundation for Botany's place in the universe...
Generation Warriors (Planet Pirates #3)by Anne Mccaffrey Elizabeth Moon

Fordeliton, sent off to investigate the connection between the super-rich and the planet pirates, is now dying of a mysterious slow poison. His aunt's spiritual advisor wants to give him her "special cure".

Aygar, the idealistic young Iretan, is out to prove he has brains as well as heavy-worlder brawn... but there are plenty who'd like to blow them out before he can learn to use them. Then there's Sassinak, ordered to report to Fed Central for the trial of the mutineer Tanegli. She'd been told to disarm her ship when it enters restricted space; she'd been told her crew can't have liberty or leave; and she'd been told to follow all the rules.

A Gift of Dragonsby Anne Mccaffrey
For more than thirty years, Pern has conjured visions of brave men and women mounted upon the backs of dragons. As anyone knows who has been touched by the storytelling magic of Anne McCaffrey, to read of the exotic world of Pern is to inhabit it--and to experience its extraordinary dragons is to soar aloft with them and share their dazzling adventures. Now,A Gift of Dragonsbrings together three beloved stories and a thrilling new tale of Pern in a single volume illustrated with beautiful artwork by Tom Kidd. In "The Smallest Dragonboy," Keevan is the youngest dragonrider candidate, determined to impress a dragon when the next clutch of eggs hatches. But what transpires will surprise everyone--Keevan most of all. In "The Girl Who Heard Dragons," a young girl's rare ability to communicate with dragons puts her family in danger and will bring her face to face with her greatest fears--and with her most secret desire. The "Runner of Pern" is a girl named Tenna, who follows family tradition by delivering messages--and who will find her destiny on the mossy traces that runners have used for centuries under the dragon-filled sky. And finally, a very special gift: an exciting new Pern adventure, published here for the first time, fresh from the imagination of Anne McCaffrey.
The Girl Who Heard Dragonsby Anne Mccaffrey
The first story is the "original short novel of Pern," The Girl Who Heard Dragons. It's about Aramina, a teenage girl of Pern whose ability to hear dragons does not seem to solve her family's many problems. The rest of the book consists of 14 formerly published stories.
If Wishes Were Horsesby Anne Mccaffrey

The Masterharper of Pernby Anne Mccaffrey
MasterSinger Merelan and Harper Petiron were a brilliant and devoted couple. Merelan was the most outstanding soprano ever heard on Pern, and was often the only one who could master Petiron's technically accomplished compostions. When, after a long and difficult birth, Robinton was born to them, it should have been the culmination of a unique partnership. But Petiron, almost from the first day, had no time for his son, refusing to see the incredible talent the boy possessed, ignoring his achievements and maintaining a strict and disapproving vigilance over him at all times. Carefully, secretly, the Harper Hall took over, training the greatest talent Pern had ever seen - a talent that was more than just musical, Robinton was able to talk to the Dragons of Pern. As constant sadness beset his personal life, so a startling career sent him like a meteor through the Holds and Weyrs of Pern, until, as MasterHarper, he became part of the great plan to rescue Lessa from the brutal rule of Holder Fax - Lessa, who was to be the saviour of the Dragons of Pern.

Houston, TX
In Houston, taxpayers spent over $175 million to imprison residents sentenced in 2008 from just 10 of the 75 neighborhoods in Houston. While these neighborhoods are home to only about 10 percent of the city's population, they account for nearly a third of the estimated $500 million spent to imprison people sentenced in 2008 from all of Houston. A small number of neighborhoods are severely impacted: seven of Houston's 88 neighborhoods are home to only five percent of its population, but must reintegrate more than a quarter of the city's formerly incarcerated people each year.

UNESCO equips Afghan police with literacy skills
Three-quarters of the population in Afghanistan has low literacy or none at all, and the national police force is no exception. This is why the UNESCO Kabul Office launched a programme in June 2011 entitled: "Literacy for Empowering Afghan Police - LEAP".
Funded by the Japanese government, the 20-month initiative aims to provide literacy opportunities to 3,000 Afghan National Police officers in the capital and the provinces.
It is hoped that greater literacy levels among police officers will contribute to bringing peace and security to Afghanistan.

Kudos to crews
Although Pittsburgh's roads are now a car's arch enemy, I have to give some credit to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. As a resident of Moon, I have seen road crews working day and night laying down cold patch to fill in every orifice this past "snowmageddon" has bored into the roadways.
As the owner of a 1984 Pontiac Fiero, I have learned a thing or two about dodging potholes. I am very thankful for the road crews in Moon. Without them, I would be making round trips to the nearest tire shop.
Also, I visited the city of Pittsburgh website www.pittsburghpothole.com and found it very easy to use. All you have to do is fill in the information required and describe where the pothole is located.
Every year our roads turn into an automobile's hell, and every year PennDOT road crews work day and night, shovels in hand, to save our tires.

Book Publishers
clocking machines are used in various types of businesses, as just about any company in any industry can benefit from them. This includes book publishers with numerous employees working for them. Many book publishers use clocking machines, and you may be wondering what book publishers do and how to find a good one. This will now be discussed.

What Do Book Publishers Do
Book publishers publishes books that people have written. Usually, a person who has written a book will send in their manuscript to a publisher and then the publisher will decide whether or not they want to publish the book. If the company decides they like your book and they decide they want to publish it, then they will make you an offer and possibly give you an advance and royalties off your book. Some publishers may just buy the entire rights to your book, so make sure you know what you are signing if a publisher wants you to sign a contract.
Many book publishers simply do not publish a book, as they sometimes have editors working for them. This means that if a publisher decides to take on a writer, then they may have their editors look over the manuscript and then make edits to it. Sometimes a publisher's editor may make recommendations and then it is up to the author to take those recommendations into consideration and apply them. Generally speaking, if an editor works for a publisher, then the publisher will let the editor know what they want done with the manuscript.
Another thing that book publishers do is take care of distribution of books. Many publishers have deals with major retail stores and bookstores both large and small, and this means that if an author gets signed with a publisher, then their book could end up being sold in retail stores and bookstores that the publisher has deals with. Publishers may also sell their authors' books online on various types of websites that sell books. Before you sign a contract with a book publishing company, they will likely tell you where your book will be sold and for how much, as well as letting you know how much you will be getting paid.
Employ Marketing Specialists
In order for a book to sell and enjoy commercial success, then it needs to be marketed properly. This is something else that a book publisher will usually take care of, as some of them employ marketing specialists. Marketing specialists that work for a book publishing company will focus on marketing specific books to ensure the book's success, and the marketing techniques that they will employ depends on a number of factors. Some of these factors include the type of genre of the book, the book's targeted market and things of that nature.
Book publishers generally do all of the above things. If you have written a book and want to have it published via a publisher, then you should start sending your manuscript out to various publishers.

I would like to give your readers something to think about, or better yet, something to do!
This concerns the animals that are brought to shelters and disposed of. Sandusky County will have to close its doors. I am personally aware of the travesty this is, as we adopted a 2-year-old lhasa apso puppy before Christmas last year. She was a little raggedy pup, her time was getting short and she was at the dog pound. Fortunately for little Gizzie, we took her, but were heartbroken to leave the other little faces behind.
Gizzie is here with us now, watching as I write this letter. Such a small thing to do, but hope it helps. I saved my "best friend" and hope others will do the same. She is a delight and makes me smile every time I look at her. She is beautiful. There are things we all can do to help these loving little souls bring joy to other people and have a rewarding feeling.
Our friends, our whole family and extended families have adopted dogs. We were sitting and talking and six out of eight families adopted pets from the shelters; four of them are in doctor's homes. So, just because you can afford to buy an expensive animal, you don't have the reward you feel walking out of a kennel with your new best friend.
In addition to adopting, you can donate to the shelters, and there are charity events to help fund them. Even children can get involved in fundraising events. What a great experience this would be for them in learning compassion. The shelters may even be a consideration for donation in your will.
Most helpful would be for you all to encourage your veterinarian to offer their services at the animal shelters, as they once used to do. Every week, they would take turns spaying and neutering at the animal shelter for free. It would also be beneficial for them to give discounts to senior citizens who would give these animals a good, loving home and a much happier life. Also, continue to give discounts to those truly in need. I'm sure the doctors participating would benefit personally, also. Anyone knowing of his deeds would surely show their appreciation. After all, this is what they chose as a rewarding profession, to help the animals. This also provides a rewarding lifestyle for them.
Let's see who will step up! Many doing just a little can accomplish a lot, and they can make the biggest difference! There is no one in the world that will love you more than themselves than a pet!
Thank you so much for all you can do!
Carol Poland,

Construction of the $102 million expansion of Rutgers Stadium is under way, but the same can't be said of the university's efforts to raise $30 million in private funding needed to complete the project.
Four months after Gov. Jon Corzine and Sen. Raymond Lesniak (D-Union) said they would lead an effort to raise the money, the fundraising campaign has yet to begin. And the search for a company willing to pay $2 million for naming rights for the 43,000-seat Piscataway facility has also stalled.
But state officials and senior Rutgers administrators say they remain confident.
''It's been slow getting started but I still think we're going to make our goal,'' Lesniak said.
Corzine and Lesniak announced the fund drive in December just days after the governor, citing Trenton's budget crisis, pulled the plug on state support for the expansion project, for which Rutgers is borrowing $72 million. To soften the blow, the two politicians pledged to contribute their own money and said they'd work together to find donors.
But concerns were raised inside the governor's office about the ethical implications of the state's chief executive soliciting donations -- especially from those who might have business pending before state agencies.
''At one level, people could think we're making a mountain out of a molehill here,'' said Corzine's chief counsel, Ed McBride. ''People could say . . . 'What's the big deal, it's Rutgers.' But he recognized early that there may be a perception issue here and we needed to figure out some guidelines on how to do this so we don't create perception problems.''
So McBride and the governor's Advisory Ethics Panel have spent much of the last four months trying to figure out exactly who should be solicited for donations, who shouldn't and how the requests for money ought to be made.
Lesniak suggested it might be ''smart to think about Plan Bs'' if the governor could not come through. Rutgers athletic director Robert Mulcahy said he's been thinking about what would happen if the fundraising effort fell short but has not figured out a backup plan.
The governor has already sent in a check for $250,000, Rutgers spokesman E.J. Miranda said yesterday. And the project is well under way.
About 80 percent of the demolition is complete on the mezzanine level of the stadium, where construction of 852 club seats and 25 loge boxes is expected to be finished for the start of the 2008 season. Excavation is also under way at the south end of the stadium, with plans to build 12,000 seats, a locker room and kitchen facilities for the start of the 2009 season.
McBride said the fundraising is almost ready to proceed.
''We were just trying to make sure it's done right,'' he said. ''There's a set of ethics rules that apply to a governor -- uniquely to a governor. We're very close to having worked it out.'' The policy should be done and approved by the governor's ethics advisers by next week, McBride said.
Corzine's team determined the fundraising would be handled out of the Newark office staffed by those who run Corzine's personal and political affairs and are paid out of the multimillionaire governor's personal funds.
They also decided heavily regulated companies like utilities and casinos would be disqualified from participating in the campaign, because they depend on state officials for their licenses.
The effort is a far cry from projects undertaken by two of Corzine's predecessors, Christie Whitman and James E. McGreevey, who were criticized for the way they raised private money for public construction.
Whitman and her husband, John, led an effort to refurbish the Statehouse dome but were stung by suggestions casinos were making donations to circumvent the all-out state ban on political contributions from gaming companies.
And McGreevey was criticized when he solicited donations from some of his top political supporters -- some of whom were seeking government appointments or contracts -- to renovate the private living space of the governor's mansion in Princeton.
As for the naming-rights negotiations, Mulcahy declined to get into details. Verizon spokesman Rich Young confirmed the telecommunications giant is still considering paying for the right to put its name on the stadium, even though two people familiar with the negotiations said Verizon had come close to inking the deal only to back out in recent weeks.

Are Saginaw County taxpayers willing to shell out more money for public safety?
Sheriff William L. Federspiel is confident the answer is "yes," based on the results of a survey he commissioned just prior to the Nov. 2 general election.
The Saginaw County Board of Commissioners plans to start discussions on the tax proposal by January, and voters could decide the fate of a possible levy in May.
But even if county officials go with their hands outstretched to taxpayers, many of whom are already struggling to stay afloat financially in this economy, we think more in-house belt-tightening is in order.
This year, when the county faced a $6.6 million budget shortfall and the possibility of layoffs, officials took the easy way out.
The Board of Commissioners followed Federspiel's suggestion to pull money from reserve funds to plug the gap. That merely put off the hard decisions to another day.
That's happening to a certain extent again with talk of a millage.
The size of Saginaw County's government is much bigger than its paycheck. Regardless of the results of Federspiel's public safety tax survey, costs need to be brought in line.
And a big chunk of the county's budget goes to payroll.
No one likes to talk about cutting compensation, whether actual wages or benefits, but with economic conditions as dire as they are, everything must be on the table.
Sure, it's the job of public employee unions to protect their members, but with so many people in the private sector having to make do with less – and now potentially being asked to pay more in taxes – the time is ripe to make more sacrifices.
Doing so could help save county/union jobs and preserve public services.
Back to that survey of more than 200 residents: it found that 56 percent were willing to pay more in property taxes to help fund the county's Sheriff's Department. Only 43 percent favored a tax for the Prosecutor's Office. But 63 percent supported a combined law enforcement levy.
Officials say they would need about 1.5 mills to avoid drastic cuts. A tax of that size would raise about $6.6 million and cost the owner of a $100,000 home about $75 a year.
The survey found 61 percent of voters would support a $20 annual tax. Only 5 percent supported one that would collect $100 a year.
Without the additional revenue, as many 110 county employees could be out of a job, including 35 from the Sheriff's Department and the closure of a 153-bed wing of the jail.
But, even assuming voters give the green light to the levy, the county wouldn't be off the hook. Officials still might have to slash as many as 30 positions. It's not outrageous to assume more could be on the ropes in the future if property values continue to plummet and revenue-sharing from the state falls.
What then?
In addition to compensation costs, maybe it's also time to take a look at consolidating services and even forming a metropolitan police force.
Why not leverage the revenue and resources we have in the county to the greatest and most cost-effective advantage of all?
More money via higher taxes isn't the only answer. Nor is it the best one. Get creative. And get cracking. As much as voters value safety, they also value wise stewardship of their money.

It appears that Troy Polomalu is still undecided as to come back to play one more year or not. There is a lot of talk that the Steelers are actually hoping he retires so they do not have to release him.
Polamalu has been one of the the most recognizable Steelers of all time with his diving interceptions, jumping over the offensive line to sack the quarterback seemingly before he even gets the ball, and coming out of nowhere to kill a play that looked like a sure touchdown for the opposing team. His ability to come up big in big games is what has made him in icon in Pittsburgh and a huge celebrity everywhere else.
But the Steelers organization has been famous for letting go of older players – it IS a business. Their decisions to let great players go is never popular with fans. Recently Hines Ward was let go after he announced he wanted to come back for one more season. Could this be another case of an incredibly popular player being let go?

Chuck Noll is the greatest coach the Steelers have ever had. His teams in the 70's is what turned the Steel City around and started Steeler Nation! His guidance has led more Hall of Fame players than any coach. Thanks to Chuck Noll, Pittsburgh football is not only on the map, but he MADE the map. Perhaps 4 Superbowl wins in a decade will be a record that will never be beaten.
Rest in Peace, Chuck Noll

Published September 19, 2013
Christopher H. Koch, CEO of New Era Cap Co., has been named the 2013 Buffalo Niagara Executive of the Year by the School of Management.
The award will be presented at the 64th Annual School of Management Alumni Association Awards Banquet, beginning at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 6 in the Statler Hotel, 107 Delaware Ave., Buffalo.
Koch was selected by a vote of past honorees and the board of directors of the alumni association, who cited his strategic vision and commitment to Western New York.
A fourth-generation CEO of the family-owned company, Koch has exhibited drive and passion while carrying on his family name and transforming the New Era brand into an iconic international symbol.
Headquartered in Buffalo, New Era is an international lifestyle brand with an authentic sports heritage that dates back more than 90 years. Best known for being the official on-field cap for Major League Baseball and the National Football League, New Era is the brand of choice not only for its headwear collection, but also for its accessories and apparel lines.
Koch participates on a variety of boards, including the Buffalo Sabres Foundation, the National Federation for Just Communities of Western New York and the Erie County Law Enforcement Foundation. This year he was appointed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo to the UB Council. He has also served on the national board of the Jackie Robinson Foundation since 2009.
Established in 1949, the Buffalo Niagara Executive of the Year award is presented annually to an individual who resides in or has a major impact on the region, and whose career has been distinguished by executive success and civic leadership. Recent honorees include Michael W. Cropp, president and CEO of Independent Health; James R. Kaskie, president and CEO of Kaleida Health; and Donna M. Fernandes, president and CEO of the Buffalo Zoo.
