On behalf of everyone in America who has ever had a father, I'd like to say: Thanks, Dad.
You see, there's something uniquely special about the relationships fathers share with their children—and sometimes, the best aspects of these relationships are revealed through sports.
I, for one, can certainly attest.
As a kid, my dad would play basketball with me in our driveway, but in doing so he would teach me lessons about dignity, pride and respect.
My dad took me to my first baseball game and showed me that he was not just a mentor but a friend.
My dad calmly smiled as I ripped up sports page after sports page during my embittered childhood as a Chicago Cubs fan, reminding me that though it hurt to lose, the best part was that we got to watch the game together.
Over the years, we've witnessed innumerable inspiring moments across the sports world of loving fathers and their beloved children. We're going to celebrate those moments today.
This Father's Day weekend, we tip our hats both to the dads in this slideshow and the dads we're lucky to call our own.

Adding to its Hurricane Isaac recovery fund, Plaquemines Parish will receive a $4.6 million federal grant to help reimburse expenses incurred during the disaster, FEMA announced on Thursday. The newly obligated funds are part of $59.4 million in public assistance recovery dollars approved for Plaquemines since the Aug. 29 federal disaster declaration for Isaac.
In Louisiana as a whole, public assistance grants now total $144.1 million, according to FEMA. The recent $4,672,444 grant for Plaquemines will reimburse for equipment, labor and contracted work associated with pumping efforts during the flood event.
"Plaquemines Parish made great efforts to protect lives and property during the storm," FEMA coordinating officer Gerard M. Stolar stated in the recent announcement. "This grant demonstrates our strong support for those efforts and our commitment to the parish's recovery."
The grant covers the federal share of the parish's eligible costs for the work. Under a cost-sharing formula, FEMA reimburses the state for 75 percent of the total costs, while the state and/or parish pay the remaining 25 percent.
Once FEMA reimburses the state of Louisiana, it is the state's responsibility to manage the funds, which includes making disbursements to local jurisdictions and organizations that incurred costs, FEMA stated.

Let's Do Lunch, Billy
At This Indiana Elementary School, Good Cafeteria Manners Are Rewarded with a Meal to Remember
The roses, though, are made of pink and red chocolate. The wineglasses will soon be filled with milk. The well-dressed diners are the 43 children of the third and fifth grades at Royerton Elementary School in Muncie, Ind. The waiters and waitresses in the school's media center are parent volunteers joined by students. And the solicitous maître d' is none other than Royerton's principal, Kevin Kile. Today's special is ham with vegetables, salad, fruit Jell-O and pastries. It is time for Lunch at the Ritz, an occasional treat in the 630-pupil school and a reward for the class or classes that have been on their best behavior in the lunchroom. Keeping their voices down, eating with the proper utensils, cleaning up after they eat, wailing until everyone else at one's table is ready before starting to eat—this is the kind of exemplary behavior that earns Lunch at the Ritz.
Started last fall, Lunch at the Ritz has been such a four-star hit that Principal Kile has promised the kids that it will be back for the next school year.
Says Ryan Cox, the 11-year-old student council president: "I think Lunch at the Ritz is neat; kids try really hard to win. It used to be pretty loud in the lunchroom, and now it's much better."
Parents also like the idea. "The Ritz casts an impression on the kids that's reflected at home," says Cindy Robbins, who has three children in the school and is chairwoman of the event. "Some kids are in a situation where they can't go to a nice restaurant—or any restaurant at all—and this gives them a chance to see what it's like."
Amid all the praise, there is just a little nostalgia for less well-mannered days. Andy Ballinger, 11, is on his very best behavior, but he has his dreams. "It would be fun to yell real loud," he says. "And," says Michael DiTucci, 10, "a food fight would be great."

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court should take the unusual step of immediately overturning a Philadelphia judge's decision that Delaware is the only place to settle the Inquirer ownership dispute, according to a request filed by one group of owners.
Not so - on several levels, the other group said Tuesday.
In a filing last week, attorneys for owners Lewis Katz and H.F. "Gerry" Lenfest argued that not only were their clients harmed by the "unfounded" opinion last month of Common Pleas Court Judge Patricia A. McInerney, but it "improperly deprives Pennsylvania citizens of their right to seek recourse in the local courts," and could have "far-reaching implications even beyond Pennsylvania."

Its after the fact when we can reflect back and see what a Mystery Life really is. Saturday at Eds Memorial Services I had a chance to talk with Dayhike Mike and during our conversation he mentioned Eds ashes, this was the first time that I heard of this and immediately I thought how great it would be to take some of Ed with us on the Tribute scramble to Big Snow. This was my first time meeting and talking with DHM and to express what I was feeling was a bit awkward, but I felt strong enough to get the words out and DHM agreed. As the memorial was winding down and I found myself in Ricks Eds Brother) presences I could see in face and body language that he was having a hard time with something he was wanting to share with me. The words finally stammered out of his mouth would you mind taking some of Eds ashes and releasing him on Big Snow? At this time I was reminded how magical Lifes experiences can be. Sometimes it feels like something behind the scenes is directing my life and putting people in front of me to remind me how connected we really are to each other, in Spirit and mind. My first response was sharing what DHM and I discussed earlier in the day. The tension was released and we all marveled in the fact that we were all thinking the same. Rick said that Ed told him if ever the time came that he would want his ashes spread across the Cascades Mountains. I said to Rick something like, I never had the chance to meet your Brother and this is the first time meeting you and because of the character of your Brother and how he effect all of his relations in a good way I wanted to honor him by creating the Ed Millers Traveling Summit Register Memorial. Now this was going to be the perfect vehicular to get this request done. Who knew that this was to manifest in the way that it had in less than 5 days. Because of Jeff Rodgers desire to do a tribute scramble in honor of Ed Miller, the many people who knew and some that knew of him were able to get this done. Im completely blown away by everyones dedication to make this happen. Action Betty Dicey Dayhike Mike Jeff R. Roller Pair Quark Tom D. Putz in Bootz Mesahchie Mark Randy Peppersteak & Ale Malachai Constant Tazz naturealbeing Im honored in saying that the placing of the Ed Millers Traveling Summit Register Memorial (EMTSRM) was placed Sunday the 13th of August 2006 on the summit of Big Snow. Everyone in our party made it to the summit in honor of a great man and now its up to somebody/some bodies to get that register and take it to another peak and help celebrate Eds life. Some things to be mindful and respectful of: The ENTSRM contains a film container with some of Eds ashes and with the blessings of Eds family members they have directed me to make this available for the dispersal on each peak that the register is taken to. I would ask at this time that when and if you do come across the register that you be respectful and handle Eds ashes in a Sacred manor. Please release a pinch of Ed on each peak that you take the EMTSRM to. By doing this you are honoring Ed's and his familys request, along with celebrating one of Eds great passions by being in the mountains. I would also like to mention that all of the messages written to Ed on the day of his Memorial has been placed in the EMTSRM and is now available to those that come across it to come to know what a great man Ed was. I invite anyone with the passion of mountaineering to join in this celebration by retrieving the register and placing it on another peak. If you decide to do so please post when you have removed the register and post again once you have placed it with its new location. I would encourage you to write a TR and share any pictures of you trip. Thank you in advance and have a safe and incredible journey. Action Betty, Dicey, Dayhike Mike, Jeff R., Roller Pair, Quark, Tom D., Putz in Bootz, Mesahchie Mark, Randy, Peppersteak & Ale, Malachai Constant, and Tazz, thanks for participating in the placing of theEMTSRM. I will never forget all that you have shared with me on this day, it was priceless and there will always be a special place in my Heart and Mind for this memory to reside.

Typical "party" size was 4 or less for any group of people. The one time we were all together for any period of time was on top of the mountain, where aside from me leaving a little wine behind, there really was minimal impact. What can I say, it was a beautiful day and we enjoyed it to the fullest. After gathering up at Ken's Truck Stop at 6am, we finally hit the road heading up the MFK at 6:20am. Got to the trailhead 2 hours later and were on the trail at 8:30am. The brushy tunnel of a trail provided a welcome relief from the heat of sunlight for a good portion of the route to Lower Hardscrabble. We hung out in the rock garden at the head of the lake before heading on up the steep boot path that takes you to the upper lake. We rounded the lake and began heading up the talus. We all went up the wrong way, scrambling up the left side of a waterfall, then crossing over to the right in order to exit out and find the real boot path. The real route heads up through the cliff bands higher up, at the top of the talus / heather gully. After the requisite brush bash up the waterfall, we were thankful to be out in the open and heading straight up on talus and occasional scree to the saddle up top. We had beautiful views of Burntboot, Overcoat, Chimney Rock, and eventually Summit Chief as we rose up, up, up and crested through the saddle. Once on top, Dicey and Putz in Boots headed up to the top to join naturealbeing, Malachai Constant, Roller Pair, and Mesachie Mark. Randy, Tom, Jeff R, and I all traversed across the talus to reach Ed's Tarn for a quick dip in the refreshing waters. Tazz hung out with Peppersteak'n'Ale, Action Betty, and Quark enjoying the photogenic opportunities presented by the football field. Eventually we all made the leisurely rise to the summit and enjoyed relaxing there until 3:30pm or so. Group photos were taken, summit registers signed, and then we headed down. The drop is always quicker than the ascent...I dropped more quickly than normal because I was looking forward to another swim. NB was close behind. (He got a special award for the most original route -- straight down the mountain, managing to avoid the talus field altogether.) Tom and I had a good soak in the high-alpine waters of Upper Hardscrabble and the whole crew lounged for a bit until the last four of our party reached the shores of the lake. The remainder of the trip was a breeze. Most of us made it down without headlamps, and were lounging around enjoying Jeff R's pringles and other snacks until the last three came off the mountain at 9pm. Headed back out where 8 of us enjoyed a long wait for our food at Ken's Truck Stop. All in all, a great day out! BTW - Looking forward to seeing the pics!--------------"There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

To whoever has the pleasure of retrieving the register from Big Snow, you are in for a real treat, among the best the Cascades has to offer! To the extent you visit on a nice day, you must absolutely take the time to take a refreshing swim in "Ed's tarn" as some of us did. And if you come with others, bring a frisbee for the "football field". I had the pleasure of climbing Big Snow in the spring several years ago and while it was stunning covered with snow, unfortunately I missed both of these treasures. Ever since Mike and Ed showed me pictures from their trip a couple summers ago, I've wanted to return and experience them in person and I couldn't pass up the chance yesterday. Here are a few pictures. I have a few more shots to share, but I want to give others a chance to post some of their pictures as well...

AB & I needed "coaching" on the 12-miles-long stretch of boulders (or so it seemed). Tazz, RollerPair, Mesachie Mark & Dayhike Mike all took turns escorting us. rollerPair got us for the longest stretch, and is an excellent idiot-savant. The ever-patient Mark helped AB and I hike out in the dark (TNAB folks are experts at it). Ed was watching us all, and I feel he certainly reached down and tweaked me with some Mojo as I fairly danced across that last boulder field on the way out. He knew there was no time for me to be a dingbat ninny out there - it was the dawn of dusk then, and we needed to be on terra firma soon. Thanks, Ed, for bringing us all together too meet and climb on such a sunny, warm (but not too) day.--------------"...Other than that, the post was more or less accurate."

I was even able to draft behind a few of them on the ascent which helped my weary legs. Besides the summit, the highlight for me was visiting and swimming in Ed's Tarn.

The glass dome of Germany's Reichstag parliament building that draws thousands of tourists each day has been closed indefinitely over concerns of a possible terrorist attack.
The shut down came after reports that al Qaeda plans to attack the building at the end of November. Berlin police are now searching for two suspected suicide bombers trained by al Qaeda in Pakistan.
Al Qaeda leaders boasted about the extra security measures being taken after the group's failed plot to blow up cargo planes headed for the United States last month.
In an online terrorist magazine called "Inspire," al Qaeda members in Yemen said by spending just $4,200 on the bomb plot, they've forced the U.S. to spend millions on heightened security.
"For a few hundred dollars on their part and very little effort, they get this enormous reaction from us and that is the basis of asymmetrical guerilla warfare, asymmetrical terrorism," explained ABC news consultant Richard Clark. "A small effort on their part requires a huge effort on our part."
The terrorists called the plot to blow up cargo planes "Operation Hemorrhage."
They measured its success by, "The spread of fear that would cause the West to invest billions of dollars in new security procedures."
The group also promised similar attempts in the future.

Tulane Coach Bob Toledo normally has a smile on his face.
Wednesday he had a good reason to.
Toledo's third recruiting class is rated as the Green Wave's best in several years, including eight players rated as three-star recruits by Rivals.com. Tulane had no three-star recruits.last year.
Plus, the entire anticipated 24-man group had submitted their letters of intent by 11:30 a.m. Last year, the Wave lost two committed players on signing day.
And that doesn't include two early entries who will count against last year's signing class.
"It's been a good day," Toledo said. "We basically got the number of kids that we wanted and we got what we wanted.
"We wanted speed - and we got that. We wanted size - and we got that. And we wanted to get more kids from Louisiana - and we got 10. It just remains to be seen how good they turn out to be."
There was little drama around the Tulane football offices.
Two hours after the official start of the day, 16 of the 24 signees had faxed in their letters-of-intent.
Austin Jacks, a defensive back form Winter Park, Fla., was the first. His letter arrived at 6:01 a.m.
By 10:30, 23 of the 24 letters had arrived.
Wide receiver Devin Figaro's was the last to come in an hour later. Fittingly enough, he had been the final player to commit.
Figaro also is one of the eight three-star recruits. The others are athlete D.J. Banks of West Monroe, offensive lineman Rio Mares of Albuquerque, N.M., Cibola, offensive lineman L.J. Abrams of Bob Jones High School in Madison, Ala., linebacker Cody Ledford of Tallahassee, Fla., North Florida Christian, Zach Morgan of Lake Charles Sam Houston, tight end Brock Sanders of Duluth, Ga., Northview, running back Stephen Barnett of Jacksonville, Fla. Bolles, and defensive back Devin Williams of Katy, Texas, Cinco Ranch.
Others signing are defensive end Shane Delery and running back Payten Jason, both of Jesuit, kicker Ryan Rome of Destrehan, defensive end Mike Henry of John Curtis, wide receiver Jordan Sullen and defensive back Shakiel Smith, both of Karr, defensive back Ryan Travis of Plaquemine, offensive lineman Hunter Howden of Lumberton, Texas, defensive back Derrick Strozier of Orlando, Fla., Edgewood, wide receiver Wilson Van Hooser of Montgomery, Ala., Trinity Presbyterian, defensive back Jordan Garrett and wide receiver Ryan Grant, both of Beaumont, Texas, West Brook and twin brother defensive backs Kendrell and Kendrick Washington of Brenham, Texas.

"Breaking up with Jason was the hardest thing I've ever done," the Hills star, who recently celebrated her 21st birthday, tells CosmoGIRL! in its March issue. "I still wanted to be with him but I knew that I couldn't be."
She helped mend her broken heart with the aid of a pal: The Hills costar Heidi Montag. "I was so fortunate to have Heidi, who is my best friend. She took me away on a road trip to Las Vegas, and we had the best time," Conrad says.
"It was important for me to know that I could still have a good time without a boyfriend. I slept in her bed for a month because I couldn't go into my room. The only thing that heals a broken heart is time. But it really helps hanging out with your girlfriends as much as possible."
Now, Conrad, who was recently named the spokesperson for Avon's mark. brand, is focused on her career: "I've been given an opportunity with Laguna Beach and The Hills, and my father – who is the smartest man I know – has advised me to capitalize on those opportunities," she says. "So that's what I'm trying to do – make contacts, get to know people. Hopefully that will help me as I start moving into my fashion career."
"I think it's important that girls know that they can be attractive and sexy in a classy way and that guys actually like that more than when they see girls who show a lot of skin. For me, I like clothes and I like to wear them to cover up."

Play dates can be so much fun! There is nothing better than being with friends no matter how old you are. Playing, laughing, sharing or just being next to each other is what life is all about! And with some careful planning you and your child can arrange a fun play date!
Below are 15 tips to keep everyone happy!
1. Unless the parents are going to stay, don't invite too many children to your play date. You want it to be manageable and fun.
2. If you are going to serve a snack or meal, you MUST ask if the child has any food allergies. If he has more than one, ask mom to e-mail you a list of foods that are off limits before the play date.
3. If your child is three or older, ask him if there are any special toys that he doesn't want his friends to touch and put them away. Broken toys and meltdowns are not fun!
4. Plan to keep the play date short and sweet. One to two hours should be perfect.
5. Don't plan a play date when you know your child will be hungry or tired.
6. Put out a small number of carefully selected toys. Too many toys and games can create total chaos.
7. If your child is a young baby and having a guest, spread out a blanket, lay the babies next to each other and watch what happens. You will hear lots of cooing and see lots of touching. You can also lay them both in front of the mirror. These are perfect Kodak moments!
8. Until toddlers are about 3-years-old, there is parallel play. While it sometimes looks like they are not playing together, they are having fun. Don't try to force organized play as parallel play is perfect for this age of development.
9. Sharing is not always easy for little ones. A small kitchen timer is a must. Let each child set the timer for five minutes to play with that popular toy. When the bell rings, it's time to take turns.
10. Having a dress-up corner can be so much fun! There are no limits to a child's imagination.
11. Non-verbal games such as Candy Land and The Memory Game can be great fun as well as learning tools. You can sweeten the pot by having a small prize for the winner.
12. Homemade play dough (recipe to follow), jumbo crayons and paper are fun while working on small motor skills.
13. Don't forget about music — freeze dance and musical chairs are the best!
14. It's nice to break up the play date with a snack-time and also helps children settle down for a few minutes. Choose a healthy snack. Fruit or vegetable slices served with a yogurt dip are great choices.
15. When the play date is coming to an end, set the timer and ask the children to clean up before the bell rings.
The most important thing to keep in mind when planning a play date is, nothing is perfect. Don't stress and don't over plan. Sometimes the best laid plans can change in the blink of an eye. You don't have to provide entertainment for every second. Play dates are about fun no matter what activities are available. Just enjoy watching your child nurture friendships that can last a lifetime.
Play Dough Recipe
1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
2 Tablespoons oil
1 cup warm water
Several drops food coloring
Several drops of essential oil (orange or lavender smell great!) if desired.
1. Stir first five ingredients in a pot over low heat until combined.
2. Remove dough from heat and add a few drops of food coloring until desired color is achieved. And add the essential oil if desired.
3. Knead dough until smooth.
4. Allow to cool and place in an airtight container.

The 1997 Buick Open will be remembered for several things:
- It marked the first time a young phenom named Tiger Woods teed it up at Warwick Hills Golf and Country Club in front of monster crowds.
- The field was perhaps the strongest in the tournament's history as all four reigning major champions were at Warwick Hills for just the second time.
- And it marked the beginning of Vijay Singh's ascension to the top of the professional golfing world.
The field included legendary names like Woods, Ernie Els, Payne Stewart, Fred Couples and Curtis Strange. But at the end of the opening 18 holes, the guy atop the leaderboard was a player nobody heard of before or since.
Sonny Skinner, who spent his honeymoon at Warwick Hills while playing in the 1990 Buick Open, shot a sizzling 10-under-par 62 to set the tournament's first-round scoring record en route to a four-shot lead over Nolan Henke.
Skinner's stint atop the leaderboard didn't last long as he shot a second-round 76. But it was in the second round that the big names began to strut their stuff.
Els, the reigning U.S. Open champion, shot a sizzling 63 in the second round for a four-stroke lead over 1992 champion Dan Forsman and he still held the lead Saturday night despite matching par with 72.
That gave him a 54-hole total of 13-under 203 and a three-stroke edge over Strange, Brad Fabel and 1993 winner Larry Mize.
That quickly changed.
While Els was shooting 74 en route to a tie for second, Singh came out firing at the pins. He birdied the fifth, seventh and 11th before taking the lead with back-to-back birdies on Nos. 13-14.
By the time Singh rolled in a 20-footer for birdie on the par-4 18th to put the finishing touches on a bogey-free 66, he was atop the leaderboard at 15-under 283. That was good enough for a four-shot victory over six players -- Tom Byrum, Russ Cochran, Brad Fabel, Joe Ozaki, Strange and Els.
Woods, the reigning Masters champion, tied for eighth at 10-under in his Buick Open debut.
It was the second victory of 1997 and the fifth of his five-year PGA Tour career for the 34-year-old Singh, who honed his skills as a youngster while playing on a nine-hole municipal course across the road from an airport in Lautoka, Fiji.
"It's always nice to win a tournament when there are good players in it, especially major winners," said Singh, who started the final day tied for fifth. "I putted really well today. That was the key. If you hit the ball well and don't putt well, you're just another player out there.
"After the way (Els) played the first two days, I thought he was going to run away with it. But he didn't move at all. I'm as surprised as anybody else. I just came out hoping to play good golf and get a good finish.
"I really enjoy this golf course. It wasn't playing long and I was driving the ball well. If you're driving the ball well, you're in a good position to make birdies."
Singh's career took off after his victory in 1997.
He won the 1998 PGA Championship for the first of his three major championships, he added two more Buick Opens to his resume in 2004-05 -- becoming the first repeat champion since Tony Lema in 1964-65 and the only three-time winner -- and he rode a nine-victory season in 2004 to the top of the world rankings.
Singh, who has 31 career victories, owns the PGA Tour record for victories after age 40 with 19 and he reached the pinnacle of his sport in 2006, when he was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.

Along with the release of the long-awaited iOS 7.1, Apple has yesterday rolled out a new firmware for Apple TV 2 and 3: Apple TV software update 6.1 brings some improvements to AirPlay and Remote app functionality and, most importantly, makes hiding unwanted channels from the main menu much easier.
In the current incarnation of the Apple TV, Apple has created an install base of tens of millions of incredibly powerful devices, essentially a stealth army of living room soldiers awaiting orders. Here are some ways Apple could leverage the existing devices to transform the living room experience, without trying to sell a 40" or larger TV set.
It's been a long time since the name XBMC echoed through our corridors. Apple TV 2 owners can start their celebrations as XBMC has released the Beta 1 of their next major update, v. 13.0. After Eden and Frodo, they've come up with Gotham as their codename, just to make sure it'll never get unnoticed by movie fans.
In our last post, we came across some stunning implementation of the dual screen AirPlay functionality of iOS – showing different screens on your Apple TV (the gameplay) and your handheld (the controls). In case you din't catch that one, you can read it here. Thanks to a few tips from our readers and some digging from our part, we've come across more dual screen games you can play on your Apple TV. In fact, we think the games in this post are better that the last one, at some points. So lets dive in!
Till a couple of days back, finding Apple TV's product page on Apple.com was a bit difficult thanks to its mysterious location in the Accessories section for iPods. Generally I used to resort on Google to find it rather than taking the pain in browsing through the website. However, that shouldn't be a problem from now on, as Apple TV has been promoted to occupy one of the tabs besides Mac, iPhone, iPod and iPad at the Apple online store. In addition, Apple TV now has its own pages for accessories, community and refurbishes.

Starting with the French Revolution of 1789 and through the revolutions of 1830, 1848, 1917 and the revolutionary movements of 1870 and 1968 to the fall of the Iron Curtain, political revolutions effect not only political changes but also deep transformations of social systems, sometimes intentional but often unprompted and leading among other things to modifications of laws and regulations. Usually the revolutionary rebuilding of customs and mentalities becomes the hallmark of the general transformation and the creation of a "better future", "Utopian World" and "New Man".
The revolutionary time often is a period of enormous changes and fluid borders between private and public sphere. Radical reforms tended to raise issues that were often passed over in silence or neglected but now provoked public discourses about the sexual conditions of society, although sometimes the conspiracy of silence on the subject simply continued.
The organizers of the conference taking place just before the 40th anniversary of the 1968 revolutionary movements welcome submissions covering radical rhetorics and related sexual practices:
1. Revolutionary public discourses about sexuality
revolutionary ideas on love and family values, sexual behaviours and moralities, sexuality and gender, functioning of cultural stereotypes of masculinity and femininity, the socialist ideas on sexual matters in practice of the revolution, breaking taboos
2. Transformation of social and legislative systems on short and long-lasting effect of revolution:
legislation, daily life and customs, popular culture, sexual education, sexual practices, spatial organizations of intimate relations
3. Sexual revolution
Philosophies of sexual revolution; how revolutionary are revolutions; the men and women who propagated ideas of sexual revolution, the meaning and functioning of the notion of sexual revolution in the fields of historiography and social sciences.
Please send proposals of papers connected with above-mentioned topics by June 30, 2007 to email@example.com
Presentations will be about twenty minutes long.
Deadline for application and proposal: June 30, 2007, for paper: September 15, 2007
The conference language will be English.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Thoughts on Browns' hiring of Chudzinski
January 11, 2013 - Zach Baker
The Browns hiring of Toledo native Rob Chudzinski is interesting for one major reason.
It's the first time I know of that someone who grew up a Browns fan is now a Browns' head coach.
So if nothing else, Chudzinski, possibly more than any other candidate for the job, understands what it means to coach of this team.
The hiring of Chudzinski tells me that Brandon Weeden can rest easy. He will be Cleveland's quarterback next year. As an offensive coordinator, Chud always preferred tall guys with big arms, and Weeden fits that bill, as Derek Anderson did before him.
And it's wonderful if Norv Turner becomes the Browns' offensive coordinator under Chudzinski. Personally, I've never been as down on Turner as a head coach as some others. But Turner is one of the great offensive coordinators of his time, helping to turn the Cowboys of the early 1990s into a dynasty.
My only problem with this hire is the potential changes on defense that could come from it. As a fan, I've always preferred the 4-3 to the 3-4. The Browns spent two years assembling young talent to play in that system, and the team's defense was solid, if not great, this year.
The rumors that the Browns may go back to the 3-4 is distressing, because it means the team could be starting over all over in 2012.
And despite a 5-11 record, that just isn't something that needs to be done.

The last time a Tennessee player recorded 20 or more points and 20 or more rebounds in the same game was March 7, 1996, when 7-footer Steve Hamer posted 31 points and 21 rebounds versus Alabama in the SEC Tournament.
"Jeronne played a great game," head coach Cuonzo Martin said on his post-game show. "Jeronne plays hard, plays well on both ends of the floor. He competes at a high level, plays with energy and plays with passion."
Ironically, it was Maymon who missed a fallaway 16-footer at the buzzer that could have sent Tuesday's game into a third overtime. That was just about the only thing he did wrong all day. He finished 8 of 15 from the field and 16 of 17 from the foul line. That last stat is amazing, considering that he sank just 5 of 20 free-throw attempts in all of 2010-11.
"I'm shooting with a little more confidence, taking my time," Maymon said. "I practiced on it all summer.... I was thinking too much last year at the free-throw line."
The Vols played a horrendous first half defensively, allowing Memphis to repeatedly beat them back for transition buckets. As a result, the Tigers shot 61.8 percent (21 of 34) and led by as many as 16 points en route to a 55-45 halftime bulge.
By tightening its defense and slowing its offense, Tennessee outscored Memphis 38-28 in the second half. A driving 5-footer by Maymon with 5.2 seconds left in regulation tied the score at 83-all and forced the first overtime.
"If you shoot the ball quick against these guys (Tigers), they're out in transition quick," Tennessee coach Cuonzo Martin explained. "Now you don't have a chance to have rebounding balance and your safety is not ready to get back (to defend) because of quick shot selection.
"As a coach, I just kind of reeled our guys in a little bit (in the second half). Work the ball more a little bit more, then pound the ball inside. Then we can play from there."
With the score tied at 91 and mere seconds left in overtime, Maymon drove for a potential game-winning bucket but no foul was called when he lost the ball after colliding with Memphis' Wesley Witherspoon near the basket.
Antonio Barton hit a 16-foot baseline jumper to give Memphis a 99-97 lead with 1:13 left in the second overtime, and Tennessee's two subsequent possessions came up empty.
Barton finished 8 of 11 from the field and 4 of 5 from 3 en route to 21 points. His brother Will was 9 of 17 from the field en route to 25 points. Adonis Thomas made 7 of 10 shots and finished with 19 points for Memphis, now 2-1.
Maymon's supporting cast struggled. Trae Golden added 14 points but sank just 3 of 19 shots, including 1 of 7 from 3. Kenny Hall chipped in 11 points and 6 rebounds.
Tennessee's starting backcourt of wings Jordan McRae (3 of 11) and Cameron Tatum (2 of 7), plus point guard Golden (3 of 19), combined to make just 8 of 37 shots. Interestingly enough, Vol reserves combined to hit 10 of 16 shots, with junior college transfer Dwight Miller (4 of 6) leading the way.
Josh Richardson, a 6-foot-6 freshman, starred defensively for the Vols, helping limit Will Barton to eight second-half points after he scored 17 in the first half. Richardson finished with 8 points, 2 steals, a rebound, a block and an assist in 31 relief minutes.
"Josh is a very intelligent young man ... has a great feel for the game," Martin said. "He plays well on both ends of the floor. He's a competitive guy and he's accepting those challenges on the defensive end of the floor. That's only going to make him a lot better as a basketball player."
As a team, the Vols shot just 40.5 percent (30 of 74) from the field and 33.3 percent (7 of 21) from 3. For the second game in a row, they posted more turnovers (16) than assists (10). Tennessee drained 81.1 percent (30 of 37) from the foul line, however, and won the backboard battle 49-34.
Memphis cooled off in the second half but still shot 51.4 percent (36 of 70) from the field and 67.7 percent (6 of 9) from 3. The Tigers also excelled at the foul line, making 77.8 percent (21 of 27).
Despite losing back-to-back games, the 2-2 Vols have to be feeling good about themselves. After all, the losses were by 77-67 to No. 6 Duke and by 99-97 in OT to No. 8 Memphis.
"We came out and played hard," Maymon said. "We definitely grew up. Our skin got thicker today. It's going to be fun seeing what happens going down the road."
The Vols play Wednesday at 2:30 EST against Chaminade (3-2), which fell 88-61 to Georgetown in another consolation-bracket game.

Abdelkader didn't nail Lydman into the boards, but he did leave his feet and come up high on the head against Lydman. Some say Lydman had his head down.
I wouldn't call Abdelkader a head hunter by any means and the hit didn't draw an immediate penalty, but he did receive a five-minute major for charging and a game misconduct after referees consulted with linesmen. The suspension came Sunday.
NHL disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan, a former Red Wing, ended up giving a suspension similar to others in the playoffs. The league continues to crack down on hits to the head because of the risk for concussions.
RELATED: Justin Abdelkader's suspension leaves Red Wings with void on top line, lacking abrasive element
Another question is how will the ruling affect the Red Wings and can they come back from a 2-1 deficit in the best-of-seven series?
Game 4 is Monday night in Detroit. Abelkader's absence on the top line doesn't make it any easier.
Feel free to chime in on either subject.

Well, I did, rather, rant a fair amount about some ridiculous 'test' I was made to do, that was meant to determine my preferred method of learning. I could have told them I prefer block text, and lectures. But no, I had to endure some bloody, bloody stupid questions.
Given that *none* of the tutors take that into account anyway, I concluded that the test was simply a way of the college finding out who has learning difficulties, who has dyslexia, and whether they had to work particularly hard with some individuals.
I told them I shouldn't be made to do such a piggin' stupid test, and I should be entitled to just *tell* them that I'm normal.
The people who didn't do very well with the test didn't seem to pleased that I class myself as being 'normal', but it's hardly like I meant they're freaks.
They're far too sensitive.

Yup, that's what he always does. Reminds me of a politician's picture on a

the fact that he already throws himself up as such before any real harm is
done makes his attempt to gain sympathy by discrediting others even more
useless, immature and suspicious.

Yup, that's what he always does.

While losing to Warner Robins High School Friday night, the Lakeside Panthers season will continue in the Georgia High School Association Class AAAAA state playoffs on Friday.
With their playoff fate in their own hands facing the Demons, the Panthers jumped out to a 7-0 halftime lead. The Demons controlled the second half, however, winning 35-7 and taking home the Region 2-AAAAA championship in the process.
Columbia County schools showed their cross country prowess both as teams and individuals at Saturday's Georgia High School Association Class AAAAA State cross country meet.
At Carrollton, Ga., Lakeside High School freshman Alyssa Hooker concluded her freshman season with a fifth-place finish in 20:05.74, earning all-state honors while leading the Lady Panthers (167) to a second-place finish behind Northview (104).
Greenbrier's Lady Wolfpack (433) were 19th and Evans (731) was 25th.
Despite having lost some key pieces from last year's state playoff team, Evans High School's boys basketball head coach Kevin Kennny doesn't mince words when asked about this year's team's chances.
"We're the defending sub-region champions, made the (Georgia High School Association Class AAAAA) state playoffs, got a lot of kids back, we have a good opportunity to win it again," said Kenny. "Everybody else is going to have a lot coming back, but I think we're still the favorite."

GHSA Class AAAAA State Football Championship, TBA
There were few surprises when the Georgia High School Association Region 3-AA softball All-Region team was released Wednesday.
Harlem High School, fresh off a 32-8 season while finishing as the GHSA Class AA state runner-up, swept the major categories. Senior third baseman Lindsey Stokes was player of the year, sophomore Amber Garrett was named pitcher of the year and Mike Leverett took home coach of the year. The trio earned the awards for the second-consecutive season.
The problem with this column sometimes is that our deadline is Thursday and many things happen after we've gone to press.
Let's take this past weekend for example, and as always I hope I haven't jinxed anyone.
Starting Friday, the public schools' regular football season came down to its final weekend with the playoff picture up in the air in both Region 2-AAAAA and Region 3-AA.
After a breakthrough 2012-2013 campaign, the Evans High School girls basketball team will be the team other county schools in Region 2AAAAA will be gunning for in the upcoming season.
The Lady Knights finished 19-9, were second in the 2013 Region 2-AAAAA tournament then advanced to the second round of the Georgia High School Association Class AAAAA state playoffs.
Last season, Evans guard Jasmine Stone came into her own as a basketball player. She was chosen Columbia County Player of the Year.
She scored in 19.3 points per contest and nailed 56 three pointers. She also averaged 3.5 assists and 2.4 steals. When Evans standout Allysha McFarland, missed seven games in the middle of the season, Stone stepped up her play to an elite level.

She was on the job three weeks when fortune struck.
In 1994, Elizabeth Cherin — whom everyone calls "Libby" — was just getting the hang of her new job as president and CEO of the Fremont Area Community Foundation, learning as she served.
"It was my dream job, more than I ever could have imagined," she says.
Cherin — who had worked at the foundation for six years, first as the communications and program officer, then as assistant director — headed a staff of three in the beginning. The foundation had assets valued at the tidy sum of $60 million and a history of issuing $1 million annually in grants.
Even so, Cherin yearned for the foundation to have a bigger influence on the community.
"I saw so much more we could do," she remembers. "There were ... there are ... limitless ways we can help the community."
Less than a month after Cherin took on the foundation's leadership, providence intervened.
In May 1994, Gerber Products Co., the baby food business that put Fremont on the map, was sold to Sandoz Ltd., a Swiss pharmaceutical giant. The Fremont Area Community Foundation, that had 85 percent of its assets invested in Gerber stock, profited mightily. By some accounts, the purchase price was $53 a share — or 53 percent above the going price of Gerber stock.
When all was said and done, and all the stock was bought and sold, the foundation was worth $105 million.
Almost overnight, Cherin was in charge of one of the area's wealthiest philanthropic organizations, located in rural Newaygo County, population 47,000, riddled with pockets of both abject poverty and abundant prosperity.
The story of the foundation's sudden wealth, and how Cherin handled it, has preceded her throughout her career, even now in the final days before she officially retires.
After 17 years at the helm of the foundation that today boasts $191 million in assets, Cherin is officially retiring Tuesday. Early in February, the foundation's board of trustees named Carla Roberts, who most recently was vice president of affiliates for the Arizona Community Foundation, as her successor.
When asked to put into words the impact, Cherin has had, Danielle Merrill, who chairs the foundation's board of trustees, answers: "How do I count the ways?"
"She genuinely cares, and it shows," Merrill says. "She's brought the foundation to a new level."
Cherin leaves a very different organization than the one she took over in 1994. Today the Fremont Area Community Foundation regularly is in the top five foundations — nationwide — for the highest rate of giving per capita. It also ranks among the top 100 foundations in total assets, grants and gifts.
In part, the foundation is still benefiting from the sale of Gerber stock — but Cherin is quick to give most of the credit to donors, no matter what their annual income.
"People have literally brought us the change out of their pockets," she says. "That kind of generosity is very humbling."
No conversation with Cherin, who moved to Fremont when she was in fourth grade, is ever complete without a story or two about memorable donors. In the middle of a conversation about grant making, she brings up the name of the late Leroy Zimmerman, a "humble, sweet man" and one of Fremont's favorite-son barber. One of the town's citizens who profited from the Gerber sale, Zimmerman gave money to the foundation to fund recreational programs for youth.
Meet the new foundation president and CEO
An open reception for Carla Roberts, the new president and CEO of Fremont Area Community Foundation, will be 6-8 p.m. March 10 at Dogwood Center for Performing Arts, 4734 S. Campus Court, Fremont.
A special program will be at 6:30 p.m. Roberts, who most recently was vice president of affiliates for the Arizona Community Foundation, will succeed Elizabeth "Libby" Cherin, who will retire March 1 after serving 16 years as the foundation's president and CEO.
Then there's the story of Reathel Dodge, a retired schoolteacher who promised the foundation's original director, the late and formidable Bessie Slautterback, that when she had some money to give, she would. Dodge moved away, but when she returned to Fremont in retirement, she made good on her promise.
One day, long after Slautterback was gone, Dodge showed up in the Foundation office. She was wearing barn boots and a barn jacket, and the look of someone who came straight out of the fields. Dodge asked to speak one of the employees, a gentleman on staff who looked out his door and immediately dismissed her because of her looks. Cherin, who had just taken over as communications and program director, was sent in his place.
Dodge handed her a check for $100,000, a promise kept. That gift now funds 25 scholarships each year.
"There's a lesson in that," Cherin says. "You just never know who might give."
On the surface, her job leading the foundation "has been about money," she says. But to those in the know, "really, it's all about the people."
Throughout her career, Cherin has maintained a sense of "servant leadership," says Rob Collier, president and CEO of the Council of Michigan Foundations.
"She has helped advance the development of community philanthropy in Michigan," he says.
She's done so with a personal style uniquely her own.
"Anyone else who went from $60 million in assets to $105 million that quickly, it would have gone to their head," says Diana R. Sieger, president of the Grand Rapids Community Foundation. "But with Libby's demeanor and even keel, her calmness, she viewed it as an opportunity. "
Within that first year, the foundation had a staff of 10. Grant makers were able to far exceed the usual $1 million, instead reaching upwards of $10 million.
"We could return so much more to the community," Cherin says. "This gave us the chance to look at the gaps ... to see what was missing ... and provide it for the community."
And the community was all-encompassing.
"From the beginning, our charge has been to serve the whole community, everyone, not just Fremont," Cherin says.
Cherin's influence has gone far beyond the confines of Newaygo County. She has worked on state and national levels, pushing for a recognizable "branding" of community foundations. It was under her leadership that the tag line "For good. For ever." was adopted to better market community foundations.
"She's been a great voice," says Chris McGuigan, president and CEO of the Community Foundation for Muskegon County. "She truly believes to whom much has been given, much is required."
That requires listening, Cherin says. Listening to those requesting grants. Listening out in the community. Unlike most community foundations, the Fremont organization gives operational support to various nonprofit agencies and agencies that might not otherwise exist in a rural county.
The foundation helped fund a foreclosure prevention center at Newaygo County Community Services. It underwrote an "end hunger" campaign, collaborating with churches and nonprofits to bring in mobile food pantries.
"There's been such important work to do," Cherin says.
In retirement, she hopes to spend more time with grandchildren and to travel. Her husband, Dave Cherin, who is the Newaygo County Magistrate, is not planning on retirement.
"So that gives me time," she says, time to listen to what her next step should be. "I'm going to ask myself: How can I be of use to world? How can I be of greater service?"

MUSKEGON COUNTY, MI – Patients at Mercy Health Partners may see better care from a proposed merger with an East Coast hospital chain, but otherwise they won't notice the difference, Mercy CEO Roger Spoelman said.
Trinity Health, which owns Mercy Health Partners in Muskegon and St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Rapids, announced Wednesday it had signed a "letter of intent" to combine with Catholic Health East, which runs hospitals in 11 states on the eastern seaboard.
Trinity officials said they did not anticipate closing of hospitals or layoffs, because Catholic Health East is active in different states. The letter of intent is not binding, but both systems hope combining would let them share best practices if the due diligence period doesn't turn up any problems, Trinity spokeswoman Carol Tingwall said.
Spoelman said Catholic Health East has expertise in providing long-term care and setting up affordable senior communities, which could be applied in West Michigan. In return, the East Coast hospitals would benefit from work Trinity hospitals have done to reduce infections and premature births, he said.
This merger, if it goes through, would be far less visible than the 2008 merger between Mercy and Hackley hospitals, which caused some services to relocate, Spoelman said.
"It won't distract us. We're not going to change anything," he said. "There's no big bang."
Besides the Muskegon and Grand Rapids facilities, Trinity owns nine other hospital buildings around Michigan. If the two systems combine, they will have 82 hospitals in 21 states.

I would like to announce the second in a series of "political history
workshops" scheduled to coincide with the annual meeting of the Organization of American Historians (OAH). The workshop is designed to provide a forum where scholars interested in the study of politics and the state can discuss their research and meet other people in the field.

I hope that you will support this initiative by attending one of the workshops this year. The workshop is scheduled for Saturday, April 28.
The theme for the workshop this year is "State and Society." Each workshop will be devoted to one paper. Those presenting papers will give a brief outline of important points (10 minutes), which will be followed by about 60 minutes of discussion. All those wishing to participate in the workshop will be asked to read the paper ahead of time.
If you are interested in attending any or all of the workshops, please send an email to Steve Gillon (firstname.lastname@example.com) indicating which paper(s) you would like to receive. Please include your regular, snail mail address as well. I will send you the paper, along with the meeting room where the sessions will be held, at least two weeks before the convention. Breakfast will be provided thanks to the generosity of Jeff Greene, history editor at Houghton Mifflin, College Division. Each workshop will be limited to about 15 participants.
8:00 - 9:20: Timothy Thurber, "Black Civil Rights and the Republican Party, 1945-1952."
9:30-10:50: Edward Berkowitz, "The Politics of Social Security Expansion: The Case of the 1972 Amendments."
