A playwright even more complex than his characters
By JERRY TALLMER
Elia Kazan: A Life was the direct, no-nonsense title of Kazans 1988 autobiography. Timebends: A Life was the more poetic title of Arthur Millers no less fascinating 1987 autobiography. One doesnt think of Arthur Miller, the man, as the more poetic of the two, but this past weekend, on the heels of the death at 89 of one of our arguably greatest playwrights, I reread Death of a Salesman for the umpteenth time, digging for the poetry within the so-called realism, and of course I (once again) found it.
It jumps right out at you from the 10th line of the opening (Act I) stage directions, preparing the ground for Willy Lomans slow, exhausted entrance lugging those two large sample cases his return home from his aborted sales trip to New England. An air of the dream clings to the place, Miller tells us of the salesmans little lost house in Brooklyn, a dream rising out of reality.
That says it for the whole play, with its luminous, rhythmic timebending fade-ins, fade-outs of past, present, never will be and never was: a dream rising out of reality.
Even within that reality, there is poetry and to spare. The supreme example of it is, needless to say, Willy Lomans wife Lindas agonized declamation to her and Willys thankless sons. Famous as it is and has been from the word go, it is worth reprinting here in its brief entirety, and anyone who first heard it in the gentle, impassioned, quavering voice of Mildred Dunnock will hear it in that voice forever:
Then make Charley [the Lomans smug, successful neighbor] your father, Biff. But you cant do that, can you? I dont say hes a great man. Willy Loman never made a lot of money; his name was never in the paper; hes not the finest character that ever lived. But hes a human being, and a terrible thing is happening to him. So attention must be paid. Hes not to be allowed to fall into his grave like an old dog. Attention, attention must be finally paid to such a person.
During her hitch as drama critic of Partisan Review, Mary McCarthy in her hauteur sniffed at what she felt Miller, for all the truth-telling, was hiding here. That attention must be paid line could only have come out of the mouth, McCarthy said, of somebody who was Jewish more yet, lower-class Jewish, garment-district Jewish, Brooklyn Jewish, the sniffer implied.
But Arthur Miller, whose father was in fact a prosperous Manhattan coat manufacturer, put none of the Jewishness per se into Death of a Salesman, and it was one of the gaps that I myself had deep reservations about for many years, and still do. It was like a missing organ, a missing tooth, and it bespoke a certain falseness in the dramas stripped-bare actuality.
And yet, and yet: two things. The first words of Arthur Millers I ever read in my life were those of the post-World War II Focus, some four or five years before the emergence of playwright Miller a crisp, tough-minded novel about anti-Semitism. And Jewish or not, the universality of Death of a Salesman has stretched, through more than a half-century, around the globe, notably in these later years, to Beijing, China.
It is obvious to me that the young Edward Albee of the 1950s who wrote The American Dream must have read, or seen, or both, the Death of a Salesman, which ripped the American dream apart from the moment the curtain first rose upon it in Kazans brilliant production, starring unforgettable Lee J. Cobb, at the Morosco Theatre in 1949. And if Albee, likewise many others.
It is perhaps less obvious that a young Lorraine Hansberry must also have read or seen it, or both, until you come to Mama Youngers great peroration in A Raisin in the Sun, which resounds in these ears in the leonine tones of Claudia McNeil. It is addressed to daughter Beneatha, who has just said There is nothing left to love in her messed-up brother, Walter Lee Younger:
There is always something left to love, Lena Younger thunders. And if you aint learned that, you aint learned nothing . . . Child, when do you think is the time to love somebody the most? When they done good and made things easy for everybody? Well then, you aint through learning because that aint the time at all. Its when hes at his lowest and cant believe in hisself cause the world done whipped him so. When you start measuring somebody, measure him right, child, measure him right
Another reality drama. Another embracement of humanity. Another poetry.
But Arthur Miller was more complex than perhaps any of the characters that populate his works. In a way, in defying the witch-hunters of the HUAC era he was as courageous as Giles Corey, the old free-thinker of The Crucible who, pressed to death by massive stones piled on his chest by the witch-hunters of Salem, Massachusetts, 250 years earlier, called for More weight! rather than speak a lie or name false names.
Once, years ago, some ignorant, bigoted New York City school board or Board of Education banned the performance of some play or plays of Millers. Very well, then, Miller wrote in a statement that probably still exists in the library clips at the New York Post and at this remove I have to paraphrase: Very well, then, let us now see if bureaucracy can accomplish what no bureaucracy in the history of the world has ever accomplished a creative act.
I call that not just guts, but guts a la mode.
Yet in a way, Arthur Miller was also less than courageous, or in any event, was willing (like most of us) to compromise his principles when it came to career and the main chance.
How could this man of rabbinical righteousness (as producer Robert Whitehead saw him), who for years would not speak or shake hands with the Kazan who (like Lee J. Cobb) had named names in the 1950s, go back, without a fare-thee-well, to work with Gadge [Kazan] in 1964 when the fledgling Lincoln Center Theater Company entered the world (in temporary quarters on Washington Square) via Millers After the Fall?
For that matter, what kind of courage, or principles, could have led two grown men, two major artists, to caper together, in a work put before the public and the public press, over the grave of a gorgeous, troubled woman they had both slept with, and one of them had married? I never understood this then, and do not now.
In 1964, when After the Fall, starring Barbara Loden (soon to be Mrs. Elia Kazan) in a wig that made her a look-alike for Marilyn Monroe, was about to open, the New York Post set me in pursuit of dress rehearsal photographs taken by Millers wife Inge Morath. I reached her by telephone. She laughed heartily and said: Arthur would kill me if he knew I was talking with you.
I dont remember if we ever got the photographs I dont think so but 24 or 48 hours later I bumped into Arthur Miller himself, large as life, in the lobby of the Hotel Chelsea. I started to say: Mr. Miller, Im from the New York Post and when the guy exploded.
You invaded my privacy! shouted the man who on the stage at Washington Square was about to lay bare, for all the world to see, not just the tormented privacy of a woman, a wife, now dead, but a goodly share of his own privacy. You! you! you! he kept screaming, as if I was the New York Post incarnate. I thought he was nuts he also seemed about 11 feet tall and I walked away from it.
Years later, still working for the New York Post, but in Mr. Millers case on less volatile stories one of them may have been about the Beijing Salesman, and another on the suicidal state of Broadway I at least twice interviewed him in his East 60s apartment. They were very affable, informative interviews, with not one mention, by him or me, of that Hotel Chelsea fireworks. (Nor, for that matter, of a piece or two Id done on his very nice, very gifted photographer wife.)
Be all that as it may, what remains is the work: All My Sons, The Crucible, A View From the Bridge, An Enemy of the People, Timebnds, et al, and in particular Death of a Salesman.
At the Morosco Theatre in 1949, my brothers wife, Margo, was dissolved in tears at final curtain. Its your fathers story, she managed to gasp through her sobs. Well, it was and it wasnt, and that was one of my problems with the play. What Id just seen was (for all the poetry that did not hit me then) too black and white, too schematic.
That was then. Over the years, the play grew on me, and today, rereading it this past weekend, I see that in its main outlines what corporate America does to the human beings it chews up and spits out it is indeed not too far from my fathers story. And not just his. Mine. Everybodys. Yours too.

Soccer team heads into 2010 under direction of new
head coach
Click here to view the complete 2010 TTU soccer schedule
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- With the coming season marking his head coaching debut, Tennessee Tech women's soccer coach Daniel Brizard has announced the team's 2010 schedule.
The Golden Eagles will take on 18 different opponents as they make their way through the challenging regular season schedule, opening the year with two exhibition matches in mid-August. The first is in Chattanooga against Alabama on Monday, Aug. 9, and the second is at home against Tennessee Wesleyan at 5 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 14.
Tech will play six of it first regular season matches on the road, opening against 2009 NCAA Tournament participant Auburn at 7 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 20.
"To face Auburn in the non-conference schedule is very exciting," Brizard said. "I think it gives the team a very tough challenge early on that they should all be excited for. If you can't get pumped to play a team like Auburn then you don't have a pulse."
Match-ups at UT-Chattanooga (Aug. 22) and Middle Tennessee (Aug.
29) on the last two Sundays of the month will close out August for
the Golden Eagles, who will commence September with a game under
the lights on Friday, Sept. 3, in Nashville on Vanderbilt's
turf at 7 p.m.
The team will have a quick turnaround for its regular season home opener, as they'll face UNC-Ashville on Sunday, Sept. 5, at 3 p.m., the first of seven home contests on the schedule.
Non-conference contests extend through the rest of the month, as the ladies will hit the road again or the Samford Tournament, Sept. 10-12, where they'll take on Georgia Southern and Samford in Birmingham. Finally, they'll return home to finish out the month with two more out of conference match-ups against Louisiana Tech at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 15, and Radford at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 25.
"We play a very good non-conference schedule, including two quality SEC opponents in Auburn and Vanderbilt," Brizard said. "Both teams have been very successful and have some quality national players."
"Other teams like Samford and MTSU have both had success in their conferences and will prove to be quality opponents."
October kicks off the Ohio Valley Conference portion of the schedule and the Golden Eagles will split the eight contests evenly between home and the road. Tech starts off the month playing on the road during the first two weekends of the month, taking on Morehead State and Eastern Kentucky on the first weekend before visiting Murray State and UT Martin the second weekend.
The Golden Eagles get to settle in at home on the final two
weekends of the month. Southeast Missouri visits on Friday, Oct. 15
at 3:30 p.m., followed by Eastern Illinois on Sunday, Oct. 17 at 2
p.m. The next weekend, Jacksonville State visits on Friday,
Oct. 22, at 3:30 p.m., and Austin Peay in in town on Sunday, Oct.
24, at 2 p.m.
The OVC Tournament is scheduled for Nov. 4-7, at the site of the regular season champion.
"The conference schedule, for me, is very exciting," admitted Brizard. "Conference games are about rivalries and history and nothing can match the excitement of a tight game at home or on the road with a conference opponent."
Brizard is confident that the schedule will push the team to its greatest potential, allowing them to attain the utmost recognition within the conference and NCAA.
"I think that every team should set the goal of winning the conference and tournament titles, and earning the bid to the NCAA," explained Brizard. "I believe with the group that is returning, including OVC Player of the Year Jen Hoffman and Freshman of the Year Kris Cambron, along with some very talented newcomers, these are all attainable goals."

Went all IPL without seeing any Roelof. This is refreshing.
Seriously he looks more like a cage fighter than a spin bowler.
10.3 JA Morkel to Raina, no run, 100.1 mph, slower one in the zone outside off, Raina tries to dab it to third man but makes no contact
Something's odd there...
marc71178 - President and founding member of AAAS - we don't only appreciate when he does well, but also when he's not quite so good!
Anyone want to join the Society?
Beware the evils of Kit-Kats - they're immoral apparently.
the outfield has been sluggish but it seems to be getting quicker .... No need to say that Ind needs to turn it on quickly .... Good thing is we have a lot of bowling option so hopefully we will make anything around 140 tough to chase for SA
Fastest gun in town
have to say compared to the IPL, this tourney looks boring. Hopefully things will get interesting as the tourney progresses
Love him so much
Love Raina.

Poor use of the bowlers by Smith I reckon. Raina looked a bit vulnerable earlier on and he should have kept up the pressure instead of changing things too much.
Interesting track though. Not a typical "run-of-the-mill IPL hit-every-ball-for-6" type of pitch.
Awesome over that. Cementing India as favourites.

Hartsville, S.C. – With the match tied at four, the fate of both teams rested squarely on the shoulders of Coker's Andrew Chinnes (Hemmingway, SC) and Lenoir-Rhyne's Matt Gaines at No. 6 singles, and neither one was willing to back down from the other. It took three sets to decide a victor, but in the end it was Gaines and the Bears of Lenoir-Rhyne coming out with the win as he defeated Chinnes, 5-7, 6-4, 6-3.
The loss marks the Cobra men's sixth in a row, dropping them to 0-6 on the year, while LR improves to 5-6 on the year.
The Cobras wins came from Evan Schreiner (Clemson, SC) and Chinnes at No. 3 doubles, winning 8-5, with Schreiner also picking up a win at No. 5 singles, 6-2, 6-1 over Nate Summers. Mark Vial (Adelaide, Australia) picked up a win at No. 1 singles 6-3, 6-3 and Esteban Terran (Ecuador) had the fourth win of the day for Coker at No. 4 singles 6-2, 6-4.
Coker returns to the courts on Friday, when they make-up their rained out match with West Alabama at the Coker Tennis Courts at 2:00 p.m.

100 Years Ago
"It is now up to the voters whether Mexico will be one of the best lighted cities in the State or not. At a special meeting, Thursday evening, the City Council voted to submit the new lighting proposition to the voters. The Councilmen have discussed the matter thoroughly and have gone over the situation with representatives of the Mexico Power Co. and decided it is for the best interest of the town to have this new system of street lights.

"The importance of farmers securing all the facts about the coming wheat referendum was stressed by Fred V. Heinkel, president of the Missouri Farmers Association, at a meeting of MFA leaders held at the Empire Club this afternoon. Heinkel did not tell the farm leaders how to vote but he did warn that some enemies of farm programs were out trying to work the old 'divide and conquer' game. He said that the wheat vote was this year's top event in national farm program decision-making. The outcome of this election will certainly influence future farm legislation."

ISLAMABAD (AP) — As he stepped into the prime minister's job for the third time Wednesday, Nawaz Sharif vowed to improve Pakistan's limping economy and end American drone strikes. It was a nod to the voters who elected a man viewed as a pro-business conservative to tackle problems including a fiscal meltdown, power outages and spillover from the war in neighboring Afghanistan.
His success in an office he was forced out of by a military coup in 1999 will hinge on how quickly he can address Pakistanis' most basic needs such as electricity and jobs, but many analysts believe his strong mandate at least gives him a fighting chance at success.
Sharif, whose party won the May 11 nationwide elections, was formally chosen by parliament and sworn in by Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari on Wednesday.
In a speech long on rhetoric but short on specifics, Sharif vowed to address the myriad of problems facing the country of 180 million people, including unemployment, electricity blackouts, inflation, corruption, a disillusioned youth and extremism and lawlessness.
"I will do my best to change the fate of the people and Pakistan," he said.
Sharif is the first Pakistani leader to serve three terms. He was elected prime minister in 1990 and again in 1997. He then was ousted by a military coup in 1999, spent nearly eight years in exile, then five years in opposition before returning to power.
During the campaign, he sometimes lashed out at the U.S. and its policy of using drones to kill militants in the tribal areas of Pakistan. Speaking to parliament after being elected, he once again called for an end to the drone policy.
"This daily routine of drone attacks, this chapter shall now be closed," Sharif said to widespread applause. "We do respect others' sovereignty. It is mandatory on others that they respect our sovereignty."
But he gave few details on how he might end the strikes. Many in Pakistan say the strikes kill large numbers of innocent civilians — something the U.S. denies — and end up breeding more extremism by those seeking retribution.
The U.S. considers the drone program vital to battling al-Qaida and other insurgents who use the tribal areas of Pakistan as a safe haven.
Many analysts say such anti-American sentiment may mellow or take a backseat to more pressing economic concerns in Sharif's administration. Pakistan will require American support for the likely economic bailout it will need from the International Monetary Fund, and the two sides both have an interest in finding a peaceful solution to the war in neighboring Afghanistan.
Sharif has also said that he would like good relations with the U.S. and in his speech noted the need to pay attention to the concerns of "other countries."
But for most Pakistanis the drones are secondary to the issues that will define Sharif's tenure in office: the economy and electricity.
Over the last five years of the previous administration, power outages — some as long as 20 hours — have plagued the country. People suffer through sweltering summers, and in recent years gas shortages in the winter have left people unable to heat their houses.
Companies struggle to find a way to run businesses without a reliable source of electricity.
Sharif and his team of advisers have been meeting continuously with officials from the country's power-related industries and interim government officials from affected ministries to map out a strategy.
Outside the parliament, Mohammed Aslam, who came from Sharif's hometown of Lahore to the capital for the ceremony, said he voted for Sharif because he promised to solve the electricity crisis. But he warned that Pakistanis will not tolerate bad governance for another five years.
"If he fails, he will go home next year," he said.
One thing going in Sharif's favor is his strong mandate. The previous Pakistan People's Party government kept their fragile coalition together for five years but had to constantly make concessions to smaller partners.
Sharif's party has a 176-seat majority in the 342-member house and a strong platform from which to address the country's economic problems. Sharif, who comes from a Pakistani business family that made its wealth in the steel industry, has widespread business support.
"I do actually see a lot of resolve. They have a very strong mandate," said Werner Liepach, country director in Pakistan for the Asian Development Bank.
Sharif made little mention of the militant attacks and the fighting in Pakistan's tribal areas that have killed thousands of civilians and security forces. He has been accused of failing to go after extremist groups accused of sectarian violence that have a fairly open presence in Punjab province, despite the fact that Sharif's PML-N has controlled the province and its police for the last five years.
Sharif noted the historic nature of Wednesday's ceremony. His assumption of office marks the first time a democratically elected government has handed over power to another in the country's 65-year history.
"Now it should be decided forever that Pakistan's survival, protection, sovereignty, progress, prosperity and respect in the international community depends upon strengthening democracy in Pakistan," he said.
Associated Press writers Munir Ahmed, Asif Shahzad and Nahal Toosi contributed to this report.

Greene County Business Success Story
Strafford electrical manufacturer finds constant stream of business with help from University of Missouri Extension.
Strafford residents Danny Minor and his wife Carol faced a major crisis in 2009. It was similar to one that millions of people across the country have been facing during the past two years — loss of family income due to a lost job.
While the Minor's crisis was difficult, it was not insurmountable. With their determination, talent and expertise the Minors turned a bad situation into a positive one with the help of Mary Love, a Springfield-based specialist in government contracting with the Missouri Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (MO PTAC).
Danny has more than 25 years experience in the electrical and electronics field. He worked for Dayco in Springfield and Detroit Tool & Engineering in Kansas City before starting his own business with a partner in 1997. Their Marshfield-based venture — Innovative Controls Engineering — assembled and sold electrical control panels and custom equipment for a variety of applications, such as washers and dryers.

French Revolutions
Tim Moore is lazy and proud of it. His interest in cycling involves watching the Tour de France on television while sitting on the couch drinking beer. Suddenly, in his thirties and totally out of shape, Moore decides to ride the Tour de France. He feels some of the agony that the real riders have to go through in the toughest sporting event of them all. Retracing the route of that year's tour, Moore also gains an insight into the French people and how...
Frost on my Moustache: The Arctic Exploits of a Lord and a Loafer
In the 1990's journalist Tim Moore set out to retrace the 1856 journey of British Lord Dufferin to the Arctic regions. As opposed to Dufferin's adventure, Moore's journey was decidedly unromantic. He crossed the Atlantic to Iceland by freighter and was plagued by seasickness, crossed Iceland by mountain bike in the company of his much-fitter brother-in-law, visited Norway and flew to Spitsbergen, and managed to find humour in all his misadventures....

Lady Rams beat Oskaloosa as Lansing does the same to Bishop Ward; Lady Pioneers lose by one and Jefferson County North too much for Raiders
With royalty in the building, it was only fitting that the Lady Rams won in grand fashion Friday.
The Pleasant Ridge girls' basketball team entertained a packed house by running circles around Oskaloosa on Winter Royalty night, winning 59-21.
Snapping their six-game losing streak was an added bonus.
"We needed this," PR coach Mike Koontz said. "We've had a tough stretch where we lost four of those six games by just a few points. We put it all together for the first time since mid-January."
Whether it was on fast breaks or in the half court, the PR offense hummed, particularly in a 40-point first half. The effort featured paint work, 3-pointers and near-perfect foul shooting — 8-of-10 in the first half.
The game was never in doubt as Ridge held Oskaloosa to just one point in the first quarter. It was 40-6 at half.
Ashten Langley led with 19 points, followed by Kelsey Carpenter and Jordan Adams with 11, and Beth Doty with six.
For Ridge, who is now 8-7, the win comes a game before facing arch-rival Immaculata Tuesday. PR won the first contest 44-29.
The teams square off in Easton Tuesday at 6 p.m.
Heartbreaking loss for Lady Pioneers
There's not much that stings more than a one-point loss.
Unfortunately for the Leavenworth girls' basketball team, the squad suffered through that very experience Friday.
In a nip-and-tuck contest, wherein LV and host Shawnee Mission South sat tied at half as well as at the end of the third quarter, the Lady Pioneers sustained a 40-39 defeat.
"We got a shot and a good luck at the end," Leavenworth coach Derek Zeck said. "Missed it, but Rachel Blackburn got a rebound and put it back up. I thought she got fouled, but instead we got the ball out of bounds with four seconds left. Had another good luck, but just couldn't hit it."
The opening period saw Leavenworth build a slim 14-10 advantage. Eight minutes later, that edge turned into a 21-21 tie, and after three quarters of play it was 31-31.
The fourth saw both teams scratch for points, yet in the end, South executed just a little bit better than the visitors — one point better to be exact.
"We just made a lot of youthful mistakes," Zeck said. "We held them to 29 percent from the field and shot 43 percent ourselves, but 16 turnovers hurt us bad. I was proud of the girls' overall effort though."
Blackburn led the team in scoring with 14 points, Tyler Johnson had 13 rebounds and Emma Zeck kicked in six assists.
The Lady Pioneers, 9-7, will host Olathe North at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.
JCN too much for Lady Raiders
The odds were stacked high against the Immaculata girls' basketball team Friday — and they paid out in full.
Hosting Jefferson County North, the Lady Raiders simply could not stay with the defending 3-2-1A state champs. Imac lost 82-25.
"That is a program that do things right and that is how I would like to do them," Immaculata coach Terry Jordan said. "They do it the right way and you can tell."
After the first quarter, the score sat at 33-2. The deficit became 50-14 at half and then 73-25 after three quarters.
Nevertheless, Jordan still found the positive side, highlighting his team's never-say-die attitude.
"The best thing was how we played in the second half," Jordan said. "We were doing some things right and you saw them give each other some personal accolades, so it's something to build off of.
"If we can play that way against some of these other teams, we can compete."
Lainey Bell posted an Imac-high nine points. She was followed by Grace Parker's four while Mary Kate Wolken and Kasey Cannon each had three.
Immaculata, 4-12, will travel to face rival Pleasant Ridge at 6 p.m. Tuesday.
Lansing race past Cyclones
It was a contest that was close from start to finish.
The Lansing girls' basketball, though, did just enough to pull away in the final quarter and win 60-52 over Bishop Ward.
"I'm really proud of how our team stepped up," Lansing coach Christine Robinson said. "Every single person contributed to this win tonight. My seniors did a great job."
After three quarters, the Lady Lions found themselves up 42-41. From then on, though, Lansing never looked back and used a 10-0 run to take command.
Madelyn Moya led Lansing with 11 rebounds for the game. Morgan Bromell led the Lions in scoring with 18 points, followed by Jasmine Meyer with 14 while Danielle Pendergraft and Madison Bosworth finished with nine.
Lansing 3-14, will play at Basehor Linwood Tuesday at 5:45 p.m.

As I recently mentioned, we're on the lookout for people to help expand and improve upon our library of Wiki articles.

CD Projekt RED has, for awhile now, been expected to announce The Witcher 3. An official announcement should be arriving tomorrow, but Game Informer has already confirmed the news.
Stole pretty fast from Neogaf, didn't you? Haha.
Those details sound pretty good though.
Hold me. In the thread on NeoGAF, someone managed to get a few details from a small preview of the digital version of the mag:
World supposedly 20% bigger than Skyrim's
30-40 minutes to cross world on Horseback
New streaming technology (CDRED Engine 3)
Geralt's Memory is restored
No chapters/acts
Dude is fucking DONE fighting for everyone else
Everything from solving MYSTERIES to slaying monsters
Coming out on "all top-of-the-line" consoles - I'd say that confirms next-gen is in.
It all sounds fantastic. So long as it keeps the strong narrative elements of The Witcher 2 then this game is going to take names next year. If Dark Souls II also releases in 2014...well...

Don't you guys have a DVD lens cleaner for your DVD player? I have one, and I clean it once every three to four weeks, depending on how much usage you go through with your player.
The lens cleaner even have a surround sound check up, so you can check if your speakers are working properly.

Matt said: a DVD Rewinder. I need one of those, but they're so damned expensive. Although it's ironic, the ammount of fees I've paid for returning DVDs not rewound, I could've just bought it in the first place.
...or special order yourself a pair of DVD tongs. They're pretty nifty and even come in Steelbook packaging. I think there's a discount if you order them in bulk or in conjunction with a DVD Rewinder.
Or someone else's fingers. No, wait...
A simple way to avoid fingerprints is to use your toes
...So then hold them properly...
I know now why some of you are complaining about the labelless DVD's. I too, do not want to look at finger marks left on DVD's if they are not held properly!
Well I bought the 2-disc dvd set of JFK and they stuck the 2nd disc in small sleeve inside the box. Weird
Alright that's it. It's one thing to be labeless but to be flapless as well, I've a good mind to keep buying these DVD's regardless just to show them.
Paramount did the same thing with Mission Impossible 3 Collector's Edition, not only that, but they didn't even put the 2nd disc on a flap(which studios like Dreamworks used to do).
I handle the discs alright I just want some art work when I pay so much money on a movie. They look like knock off's Universal needs to change this.
Maybe just be carefull handling the discs....
Maybe we should start the rumour that the labels, over time, slowly etch through the plastic and eventualy kill the media layer....

Yes I also hate dvds that don't have any label art, like Slither & the King Kong 2005 Exteneded Editon both were clear discs with just the movie title on the disc. The discs seem very cheaply made when they come like this plus it is very easy to get finger prints all over them which sucks.
Bloody hell tsk tsk outrage and the likes
Universal Stuidos and DVD Label art Has anyone noticed that recent Universal Studios releases have no label art. Just some black lettering stating the movie and it looks very cheap. If I am going to pay about $20 I would like some Dvd Label art.

This is only one combination that I have thought of. Here's another:
Serve: Sampras
Forehand: Nadal
Backhand: Kuerten
Volleys: McEnroe
For the greatest female player, how about:
Serve: Serena Williams
Forehand: Graf
Backhand: Henin
Volleys: Navratilova

Serve: Ivo Karlović.
Currently holds the world record for the most aces in a match against Agassi, and still lost because of Agassi's return ability.
Forehand: Novak Djokovic,
a forehand that kept improving to bring him into #1 and beat all the current great players breaking or Tie-ing a world record winning streak of McEnroe. example Big forehand return for the usopen against Federer
Backhand: Andre Agassi
Best Returns in the world and also in 2005 during the US OPEN he hit more dropshot winners with 1 hand. a very dynamic backhand
Volleys: "the Magnificent Bastard" "The Magician" Fabrice Vetea Santoro
with his Chip shots, Approach shots and reading ability followed up by the other shots he would be unstoppable.
Speed: Chang, is there any faster?
Fitness: Thomas Muster, was there any stronger?
Mental: Poncho Gonzales, Was there any tougher?
Gamesmanship: Nastase
My player would crush and BE the GOAT on top of the Mountain
Santoro for the volleys? I haven't seen too much of his volleys.
what tim are you nuts you never seen Santoro Volley.
here are some examples

I'll have to check these out later tonight. The library I'm at bans youtube. lol
I'm a huge Magician fan too, but in all these videos there are very little examples of actual volleys. But I think I know what you mean, to have Santoro's "short game" which can be diabolical.

Although, IMO, The Rocket was the most complete, balanced player of all time, since Coach V asked me to play the game right, here are my choices shot by shot:

Ah, very interesting! Gonzales makes the serve and smash. I always liked his serve motion. No fuss, no muss. Simple yet devastating.
Well, Agassi backhand! Agreement with Coach V.
Definitely agree with Borg for mental toughness.
Hmm, Roche over Edberg on the backhand volley. Rule is, you can only pick one volleyer. lol
It wouldn't be a stretch to pick Roche over Edberg on forehand volley too. But, Edberg had such a solid forehand volley and, for a big guy, he got down as well as anyone every did. Honorable mention to Pat Cash and Patrick Rafter in that respect.
Here's a video of Laver vs. Roche from the 1969, AO, semi. Not the best quality video or perspective, but, you can see what a great net player and volleyer (two different things), Roche was against the best return and ground game in the history of tennis with a wood racquet. Turn up the sound and enlarge the screen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHaN2h21ANs
Yeah, Roche looks super solid in that AO 1969 footage. I remember watching it a year ago and was very impressed. Well, I still wonder how Edberg and Roche get so much stick on that forehand volley!

The board also heard an urgent plea from those spearheading the La Jolla Children's Pool Walkway project that it's "now or never" to come up with funding to construct a sidewalk and other improvements.
Jon Williams, CEO of Davlyn Investments, which purchased the 30,000-square-foot building at 7863 Girard Ave., currently populated only by Panera Bread, described the seven-month-long planning process to redevelop it as "grueling."
"We're in the middle of summer and our plan is to open Dec. 1," Williams told merchants. "We won't be able to do that unless we start demolition soon."
Williams said extensive building improvements by previous owner Bill Berkeley will all have to be removed.
"We're doing a luxury retail center and we need to show that during construction as well," Williams said, assuring the LJVMA board that construction activity would be done "sensitively."
LJVMA chair Phil Coller said the construction moratorium is really a misnomer.
"It's not a moratorium on construction," he said, pointing out the moratorium is actually on doing anything that would interfere with the public right-of-way or with parking or anything else that would interfere with business activity.
Not everyone on the LJVMA Board was immediately onboard with lifting the summer moratorium.
"What about the noise factor?" asked board member Nancy Warwick. "I'm concerned about the impacts on adjoining merchants."
Some were supportive of the design, but cautioned that developers should keep La Jolla's community plan in mind.
"I think this would be a tremendous improvement over what's there now," said board treasurer Tom Brady, adding he felt it important that other community groups, like La Jolla Community Planning Association, which makes land-use recommendations to the city, get a chance first to weigh in on lifting the construction moratorium since it affects the community plan.
A motion by board member Claudette Berwin in favor of the group's authoring a letter advocating lifting the construction moratorium and allowing Davlyn to begin site demolition as soon as July 15 passed by a wide majority.
Patrick Ahern and Phyllis Minick of La Jolla Parks and Beaches, Inc. gave a presentation detailing the status of the La Jolla Children's Pool Walkway. The walkway is a visionary plan to remodel and re-vegetate the popular coastal attraction above where harbor seals haul out. The walkway is being done concurrently with construction of a new Children's Pool lifeguard tower, which is underway.
But there's a snag.
"We either raise the money for the sidewalk immediately — or it's a dead issue," said Minick, noting she's written 22 grant proposals already for funding.
"Anything would help," she said, passing around a giant shoebox for donations. "We'd love to have $100 per person, but we'd be glad to have $1 per person."
Ahern, who described the project's cobbled walls as "the connective fabric through the coastline, said the cost will double over time if construction doesn't start soon. The fundraising drive for walkway improvements, he said, is a "one-time ask."
"We're not going to keep coming back asking for money for maintenance," he said. "This is a project that will last for generations. It's our jewel."
Ahern said walkway improvements are estimated to cost about $250,000.
To date, Minnick said about $8,000 has been raised.

STOCKTON - By the end of the year, Assemblywoman Susan Eggman expects to be a spouse and a parent.
STOCKTON - By the end of the year, Assemblywoman Susan Eggman expects to be a spouse and a parent.
Tears of joy and concern mingled Friday as she celebrated the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals' swift action to lift California's ban on same-sex marriages.
"I think this is historic, a turning point in American history," said Eggman, D-Stockton, who was elected to the Assembly in November after serving on the Stockton City Council.
"It is so significant for the Supreme Court to recognize that it is unjust to treat people different solely based on who they are."
Eggman's elation is tempered by an unfolding illness within her family.
The legislator's partner of 31 years is Renee Hall, who has a sister facing terminal cancer. Family members have turned to Eggman and Hall to raise their 5-year-old niece.
"My partner's family is very Republican, very conservative and very Pentecostal, and when we talked about who would raise this child, they looked to nobody but us as the people who were the most stable, who were the most able to provide a loving home, that we would do that," Eggman said, "and we, of course, will."
Eggman and Hall are caring for the niece in their Victory Park neighborhood home this weekend and plan to take her today to the DeltaFusion puppet pageant.
The two women, both 52, met while serving in the U.S. military. They've been together ever since.
"We've waited 31 years for this," said Eggman. "A wedding is very personal, as it is with anybody, and we want to plan something that reflects our lifetime together. We want to plan a wedding befitting a couple who has lived and loved together for 31 years."
She said the federal court decisions "have been deeply emotional."
Eggman has already heard from fellow lawmakers that her wedding to Hall should be in Sacramento inside the state Capitol. She is undecided but said the wedding would not be for show, but "for love."
"I'm a proud third-generation Californian, and marriage is legal in my state," Eggman said, overjoyed just to hear herself say those words.
"So as we are planning a wedding, we are planning a funeral. I could talk forever or just let the tears come down my face."

text: Sprayers Spring for Tires January 25, 2013 08:22 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Nate Birt Top Producer Managing Editor Email Rethink rubber to cut compaction, spare crops As more farmers realize a positive cost benefit to owning a self-propelled sprayer, there's a growing trend to outfit those machines with two sets of tires. "It was quite a play, but it was well worth it," says Mark Brown, who grows corn, soybeans and cotton on 6,000 acres in Lake Providence, La. He sprays weekly, totaling 30,000 to 35,000 acres over the course of a year. "For years, I've been grieving over the ruts and the inability to go," Brown says. But with an upgrade to his RoGator 884—a $13,000 set of flotation tires, a 100' boom and an 800-gal. tank—he spends more time spraying and cuts compaction by 75%. Nine months out of the year, he runs 20.8"-wide tires, saving his 14.9" tires for August through October, when he sprays insecticide on soybeans and cotton. Using multiple tire sizes for a single self-propelled sprayer is a growing trend to reduce compaction and spare crops. What's more, it can give operators more time in the field under a variety of soil conditions. "I would say it's contagious," says Kevin Marshall, vice president of sales and marketing at Hagie Manufacturing. In general, farmers begin the year using a flotation tire for preplanting and pre-emergence spraying. They then have to decide which rim height makes sense. For example, Hagie offers rim heights of 38", 46" and 54". Lighter ride. Comfort comes into play as well, says Jake Hatley, Pacific Northwest regional director for Equipment Technologies. One benefit of wider sprayer tires is fewer deep ruts to bounce over. Farmers in Hatley's region are sticking with wider sprayer tires for about 80% of the year, he says, because they see crops bounce back even if they are run over, thanks to the low pounds per square inch. Kevin Wagner bought his first selfpropelled Apache sprayer in 2006. He's since tried multiple tire types on his 5,000-plus acres of small grains and edible beans on the Idaho-Washington border. In the fall, he began trying out a set of flotation tires. "I think the flotation tire is going to be a better system, and it's going to take less horsepower to run," Wagner says. Row-crop tires for sprayers are usually 14.9" wide, says James Crouch, Michelin's North America farm segment marketing manager. Flotation tires are 20.4" to 35.4" wide. Farmers should choose tires based on factors such as field size and row width. Application type appears to be a key factor for people ordering tires, says John Lipscomb, AGCO business development specialist. Between 75% and 80% of AGCO dry sprayers are sold with both flotation and row-crop tires. About 25% of all AGCO application equipment is ordered with both flotation tires and row-crop tires. In December, Brown traded the sprayer he's used for three seasons for a RoGator 900—but he wasn't about to do it without two sets of tires. "It's now part of the price of an efficient sprayer," he says. You can e-mail Nate Birt at firstname.lastname@example.com. Back to news

Personality might play a big role in how long dogs live. Live fast die young might also apply to dogs, a study in the June issue of The American Naturalist suggests.Vincent Careau, of the University of Sherbrooke in Quebec, Canada, and his colleagues came to that conclusion by comparing numerous dog breeds based on their personalities. For example, poodles are ranked as 29 percent more docile than boxers, and Careau's team found that poodles are four times more likely than boxers to live past age 10.
Beyond simply looking at aggressiveness, the researchers also found that the most obedient breeds, such as German Shepherds, Poodles, and Bichon Frises, live considerably longer than hard-to-train dogs such as Beagles and Pomeranians. Careau used personality data based on a 1995 psychology study that ranked dog personalities and also compared dogs of similar size.

CHICAGO — E'Twaun Moore figures he'll have 50 friends and family members in the stands when the Orlando Magic face the Chicago Bulls tonight at United Center.
His cheering section will see a lot of him.
Moore, a native of East Chicago, Ind., will start for the Magic as Jameer Nelson continues to recover from a strained groin and a strained hamstring.
"Any time you're on the road the crowd will try to get in your head," Moore said after the Magic completed their shootaround at the arena. "But you've just to stay cool and stay focused."
Moore is in his second NBA season, and his first with the Magic.
On Sunday, he made his first regular-season start as a pro, and he continued to show he's adjusting to playing point guard, scoring 15 points and dishing out six assists against three turnovers.
Moore entered this season known for his shooting ability, and he's made 57 percent of his shots.
Magic officials signed him to a free-agent contract over the summer because they knew he could provide depth on the wing.
But they also saw potential for Moore as a backup to Nelson at the point, and Magic coach Jacque Vaughn has seen growth from Moore.
"A maturation already just within the month of seeing his decision-making, his confidence, his ability to make shots for us," Vaughn said.
Nelson is with the team on this road trip. Although team officials haven't said whether he'll play Wednesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves in Minneapolis, it seems likely that he'll sit out that game, too, rather than risk aggravating the muscle strains.
"I'm making progress — just treatment and rest and lots and lots of water," Nelson said. "I don't want to set a timetable, but I'm just going to continue to treat it and be smart about it and listen to the training staff and whoever else has to make the decision of whether I'm playing."

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Dear Gryffindors, Ravenclaws, Slytherins, and Hufflepuffs,
Before I begin, a few words. Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!
Will, you worry that those who judge the book as children's literature give short shrift to Rowling's work. I disagree with you a bit; I'm judging Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows as children's literature, but in doing so, I'm putting it up against some of the greatest stories I've ever read, stories that inspired, educated, and exhilarated me as a boy and as an adult. (Our daughter isn't named Lyra for nothing, after all; as the rest of America will discover when the film of The Golden Compass comes out this winter, Lyra is the intrepid heroine of Philip Pullman's spectacular children's fantasy series.) I hold children's literature up to high standards, higher in many ways than literature exclusively for grown-ups.
Rowling herself seems to wink at those who consign her novels to the margins with the introduction in Deathly Hallows of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, a kind of Brothers Grimm of the wizarding world. In his will, Dumbledore leaves Hermione a copy of the book, which Ron can't believe Harry and Hermione have never heard of. But because they grew up in Muggle families, instead of such popular wizarding children's stories as "The Wizard and the Hopping Pot" or "Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump," Harry and Hermione read "Cinderella." ("What's that, an illness?" asks Ron.)
And when, naturally, Beedle's tales end up helping our threesome through their quest, the disregard some have for stories for children does not go unnoticed. Dumbledore, speaking to a not-dead, not-alive Harry in King's Cross, points out one of the Dark Lord's great weaknesses (emphasis mine): "That which Voldemort does not value, he takes no trouble to comprehend," Dumbledore says, as the stunted, scalded soul of Voldemort squalls on the floor behind them. "Of house-elves and children's tales, of love, loyalty, and innocence, Voldemort knows and understands nothing. ... That they all have a power beyond his own, a power beyond the reach of any magic, is a truth he has never grasped."
Whatever my quibbles with Rowling's decisions in this or any of the Harry Potter books, I cannot deny that reading them has been one of the most pleasurable, imaginative experiences I've ever had. I'm eager to read them to Lyra, and to Lyra's sister, due just two weeks from now, and to see both of them swept away, as I was by so many books as a child—and am by so few as an adult. We have no idea what we're going to name Lyra's sister yet, by the way. Maybe we'll name her Hermione. Maybe we'll name her Eilonwy. Maybe we'll name her Turtle. Hell, maybe we'll name her Jo.
Thanks, all, for joining in the discussion.

Washington and
Northern Virginia Company
Jamestowne Society
In 1607,
thirteen years before the Pilgrims landed in Massachusetts, a group of 104
English men and boys began a settlement on the banks of Virginia's James
River. They were sponsored by the Virginia Company of London, whose
stockholders hoped to make a profit from the resources of the New World. The
community suffered terrible hardships in its early years, but managed to
endure, earning the distinction of being America's first permanent English
colony. Significantly, the first representative government in the new
world was organized and, members having been elected, met in the church at
Jamestown in July, 1619. For more about this
click here.
In 1625, the Virginia Company of London, which could no longer finance this
venture, was dissolved by King James I, and Virginia became a royal colony.
The formal organization of the Jamestowne Society, at Jamestown Island on 14
May 1936, was the result of a vision by George Craghead Gregory, who was the
founder and the guiding spirit of the society. The objects of the society
were: "To discover and record the names of all living descendants of those
early settlers who made great sacrifices to establish our English speaking
nation; and to unite these descendants to honor the memory of their settler
ancestors, to record their deeds, and to do homage to the birthplace of Virginia
and the Nation."
By gathering together the descendants of those who experienced Jamestown's
hardships and took advantage of its opportunities, we hope that like-minded
individuals will work together to keep its history alive for new generations yet
to come.
By 2005, the National Jamestowne Society
had grown to over 5,000 members in 25 Companies throughout the Nation.
The Washington and Northern Virginia Company was founded in 1959, and supports the Jamestowne Rediscovery archaeological "Dig." Excavation
since 1994 has uncovered hundreds of thousands of artifacts dating to the first
half of the 17th century. Nearly half of the objects date to the first years of
English settlement (1607-1610). For more about this, visit
the "Jamestown Rediscovery"
web site, by the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities, the
Jamestown Fort excavation area, at:
The Washington and Northern
Virginia Company also created a library of research materials for the use of
citizens, students and scholars, to honor Herschel H. Helm, Governor of the
Company from 1978 until 1987. He was a vigorous supporter and
molder of the Company and was dedicated to preserving the record of early
Virginia. Click on that link above for details.
List of Past Governors of the Washington and Northern Virginia Company
We hope that all will find the
information contained in this web site -- and in the national Jamestowne
Society web site -- helpful in strengthening the bonds of interest in this
special period of our history that link us together.

Hilltop getting needed attention
December 1, 2009
The proposed tuition tax on higher education, the Warrington Recreation Center, and building inspection were some of the topics discussed at the Nov. 19 meeting of the Allentown Community Development Corp.
Attendees included city Councilman Bruce Kraus; District Justice Richard King; Father Vince Cianca of St. Maria Magdalena Church; and Allentown CDC board members Helen Baney, Amy Averbeck, and Rich Masilon.
Mr. Kraus said one of the "hot button" issues at the Nov. 16 Hilltop Alliance Action Forum, which drew about 100 attendees, was the Warrington Recreation Center becoming a premier recreation area once a spray park is built — as is planned — over its closed swimming pool.
The premier facility would become a draw for the entire Hilltop, he said.
Another topic was reuse — for recreational purposes — of the former Knoxville school, which is large and expensive to maintain. The role of the city and schools needs to be explored, said Rev. Cianca.
In other news, Mr. Kraus said it looks as if there is funding for clean-ups. "The Hilltop is finally getting the attention up here that's been needed for so long," he said.
Mrs. Baney said because the area is considered a corridor between Mount Washington and the Slopes, the Mount Washington Community Development Corp. is going to work with the ACDC.
"That we are considered a corridor is to our advantage," said Mr. Masilon.
Mr. Kraus said there has been discussion about cleaning up the graffiti behind the Daily Mart on Brosville St.
Mr. Masilon said the storage site behind it is bad also. But the worst thing is the trash. He could clean it up at noon and by 1 p.m. it would be back again.
Mrs. Baney said there is talk of erecting a mural at the site.
Mr. Kraus said he and the new Acting Public Works Director, Robert Kaczorowski, are doing ride-throughs of neighborhoods and getting some long-standing projects resolved.
At one area site, he showed Mr. Kaczorowski deteriorating steps, and the next day new steps were put up.
He asked the Allentown CDC board members to give him a list of five projects in need of attention, and he would do a drive-through with Mr. Kaczorowski and get them taken off the list.
Mr. Kraus advised not rushing into new lighting as the city is working on a pilot lighting project.
Mrs. Baney asked why it takes 90 days to get an official to come out and inform a resident that they cannot put garbage outside for pick-up five days early. The citation process takes time, said Mr. Kraus.
Mr. King said a resident can be cited by the Public Works and refuse departments for such infractions.
Mr. Masilon said three porches are still down that fell a couple of years ago behind his house along Brosville St.
Mr. King said such incidents must be cited. The problem is there are not enough employees in the Bureau of Building Inspection (BBI).
Mr. Kraus suggested writing letters to the Mayor's Office and Public Safety Director Michael Huss asking why building inspectors are not yet at Zone 3 as promised. The purpose was to allow for face-to-face contact in relaying problems.
Turnover in BBI, and the absence of an acting director, are concerns, he said.
Mr. Kraus and Mr. King theorized that insuffient pay, testing requirements, and having to enter high crime areas with no protection are at the root of the turnover.
Mr. Kraus said budget time in the city offers an opportunity to look at building inspectors and neighborhood needs. Reinstituting the neighborhood needs program is an option.
Regarding the budget, which must be passed by Dec. 31, the proposed tuition tax is seen by some as a way to help fill financial holes.
The one percent tuition tax on higher education would generate $16.2 million. It would be factored into a student's tuition.
Mr. Kraus said he has not yet taken a position on the tax; but, comments he has received from residents on the issue are that the tax is not broad enough and does not "spread evenly among the non-profits."
Over 40 percent of city land cannot presently be taxed, he said.
A public hearing on the matter was scheduled in city chambers the next day.
To a comment about cameras going up, as shown on the evening news, Mr. Kraus said the city received a Homeland Security grant for cameras to monitor the waterways and the Golden Triangle.
In Allentown CDC news, the organization will be sponsoring at Christmas party at the Caliguiri Plaza on Dec. 17 at 7 p.m.
The next meeting will be in February. Mr. Kraus said it would be nice to invite the newly elected city council member, Natalia Rudiak, of District 4, to express concerns and get to know her.
In the meantime, he will be sharing public safety concerns with Ms. Rudiak.

AUSTIN - Today, the Texas House of Representatives passed some of the most sweeping transparency legislation in the history of the State of Texas, authored by State Representative Dan Flynn (Van).
"All too often, transparency is a second thought for our government. The people are entitled to more than a second thought. They are entitled to full transparency in how our state operates," stated Chairman Dan Flynn.
The Texas House approved House Bills 12 and 16, each providing several key measures aimed at improving transparency in Texas. HB12 mandates each state agency publish its methodology for determining salary supplements as well as each and every gift, and its respective value, online. HB 16 will ensure that all audits, including internal and operational audits, be placed online for the public as well.
Both pieces of legislation were presented to the Committee on Transparency, co-chaired by Representative Dan Flynn and Representative Carol Alvarado, that spanned each side of the aisle, pulling together some of the most passionate in the House. As the bills passed out of committee unanimously, the legislation proved to be a symbol of recognition and understanding that transparency, in every sense of the word, has become a necessary component of state agency operations.
As the final day for passage of House legislation moved into the late hours of the evening, the bipartisan group of legislators took the front mic to present these bills that they crafted together. On a night where partisan arguments delayed the progression of the final calendar, and each piece of legislation was subject to multiple questions varying in the level of relevance, HB12 and HB16 represented the kind of teamwork, compromise and preparation that one would assume each bill was accompanied by. No questions from other members, and with multiple amendments accepted by Representative Flynn, the bills came up and were passed by the House in record time.
"Transparency within the practice and operations of Texas agencies and institutions should be the norm, not the surprising exception. These important measures move us toward that goal, a more transparent Texas. We can make government more open so that taxpayers know exactly how the state is operating and utilizing our tax money," concluded Representative Flynn.
The measures now goes to the Texas Senate for hearings and final passage to the Governor.

Dottie Pepper is returning to golf broadcasting, signing a deal with ESPN that she calls a perfect fit of TV work and promoting junior golf.
Pepper retired from NBC Sports in December after eight years because she was weary of the travel and wanted to devote her time to getting more juniors involved in golf. She joined the PGA of America as one of its board members.
"It's the dream fit," Pepper told The Associated Press. "I love what I do, and now I can do enough of it and still have a life. It's just the major championships, and next year I'll work eight events. It's fabulous."
Pepper will start work next month at Merion for the U.S. Open, and she has already been to the golf course. ESPN televises the weekday rounds of the U.S. Open, the U.S. Women's Open and the U.S. Senior Open. ESPN has full coverage of the British Open, Senior British Open and Women's British Open. She already had planned to be at the Women's British Open because it's the final qualifying event for the Solheim Cup. Pepper is an assistant captain.
Next year, she will be part of the ESPN's weekday coverage of the Masters and Friday coverage of the Ryder Cup.
Pepper, a 17-time winner on the LPGA with two majors, will work on the course and in the booth during live play for ESPN. She also will be an analyst during the network's golf coverage on SportsCenter and write occasionally for the website. She was a contributing columnist for Sports Illustrated when she worked for NBC.
"We're very pleased to have the opportunity for Dottie to join our team," said Mike McQuade, vice president of production for ESPN. "Her knowledge, experience and professionalism will bring another layer of strength to our golf coverage."
Pepper said there was mutual interest when ESPN called, but it came with a caveat. She wanted to make sure that joining ESPN would not affect Judy Rankin, the longtime ABC Sports and ESPN golf analyst whom Pepper considers a close friend and mentor. It was Rankin who in 1999 suggested that Pepper be hired to work the U.S. Women's Amateur.
"I wanted to make it very clear to them that I was in no way wanting to displace Judy Rankin, who has been incredibly important to me as a player and a mentor," Pepper said. "They said there was no question we'd be working together. She's a legend."
Pepper said she missed working television during the Match Play Championship, the Florida Swing and The Players Championship, along with the relationships she formed at NBC Sports.
"I'm so competitive," she said. "That was my release."
She was headed to Long Island on Wednesday to play National Golf Links and to walk the course at Sebonack, which will host the U.S. Women's Open the last week in June. Pepper said she will be arriving later than usual for that one because she has a PGA board meeting in Oregon that week.
"I'm really excited to get back," she said.
