Ted Williams: Homeless Man Speaks, Receives Job Offersby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Ted Williams looks like your typical homeless person. However, due to a video that has gone viral, the scruffy Columbus, Ohio-native won't be a jobless person for much longer.
Interviewed by a reporter in the footage below, Williams makes James Earl Jones sound like Mike Tyson. What has prompted the Cleveland Cavaliers and NFL Films to offer him a job, based on a couple quotes?
Listen to him speak and you'll immediately understand:
"This has been totally, totally amazing," Williams told The Associated Press today. "I'm just so thankful. God has blessed me so deeply. I'm getting a second chance. Amazing."
That's the only word we can come up with, as well.
Hopefully Ted Williams will be a guest ring announcer at WWE Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania 27 PPV
Mr. Williams was on GMA this morning looking well groomed, and in total bliss and gratitude for his new announcing job and a home.
Awww I'm glad I like stories like these :)
Mr. Williams has already been offered numerous opportunities to match his incredible voice.
@ Hilton Hater:
Thank you for posting this video of Mr. Williams. Please kept us updated on this "interesting news story".
Please someone give this guy a job! He definitely has "The Voice" for annoucing!

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -- An 'aggressive attack' by Topeka firefighters kept flames contained to a single apartment Thursday evening.
Heavy smoke was pouring from the central Topeka home when they first arrived around 4:30 p.m., according to a statement by the Topeka Fire Dept. (TFD) No one was in the apartment, 1205 SW Polk St., and all the neighbors had evacuated by the time firefighters got there.
The fire started in the living room near an upholstered chair and has been blamed on a cigarette that wasn't put out well and was ruled accidental, TFD said.
The fire caused $30,000 in damages to the apartments, they estimated, but none to the neighboring apartments.
The Red Cross responded as well to help out the one person who lived there.

MIAMI GARDENS, FL - OCTOBER 03: Quarterback Landry Jones #12 of the Oklahoma Sooners scrambles away from linebacker Allen Bailey #57 of the Miami Hurricanes at Land Shark Stadium on October 3, 2009 in Miami Gardens, Florida. Miami defeated Oklahoma 21-20. (Photo by Doug Benc/Getty Images)
Although the rankings told us that this game would be close, recent history would have suggested that No. 6 Oklahoma would win this match up and that the Sooners would win big. Oklahoma dominated the last five meetings, averaging wins of 22 points per game, including the 58-17 massacre in Manhattan, KS last year. But this is a different Wildcats team ...and a different Sooners team too.Looking to make an example out of Oklahoma, No. 15 Kansas St. marched into Norman and pushed around the Sooners in route to a 24-19 defeat and sent a strong warning to the rest of the Big 12 that put every one else on notice.The Good: Kansas St. DefenseFrom the beginning, the Wildcats defense was on point, playing a huge role in the victory. They held the Sooners offense to two field goals in the first half. They also forced and recovered two fumbles, the first which was returned for a touchdown. The second fumble was just as big of a play as it prevented a threatening Sooners offense from scori...

Road improvements are becoming a concern around Smith Mountain Lake.
Officials from Appalachian Power, local and state governments agree that improving the roads surrounding this vacation attraction is needed. But they disagree over who should pay for them.
The improvements are a pressing issue because of new residential developments and the growth of tourism at the lake. More than 2.5 million visitors came to Smith Mountain Lake this past year.
The Virginia Department of Transportation has been studying the roads at the lake since last summer. The recommendations will be used in V-DOT's six-year improvement plan for the area.
Appalachian Power holds a federal license to operate a hydroelectric plant there and is going through a review process to renew the license.
Because of that, state and local officials are trying to work out an agreement that would have the utility pay for some of the maintenance and improvement costs of the roads.

AMERICA/MEXICO -1,800 children's letters say "thank you" to the Pope
Hermosillo (Agenzia Fides) – Some 1.800 letters to say 'thank you' to Pope Benedict XVI and ask him to pray for the children of the world were written by young participants at the First Regional Congress of Missionary Childhood and Adolescence (CORIAM) held at Hermosillo, Sonora (Mexico).
"We had trouble finding something in which to put so many letters addressed to the Pope, the few big boxes we had at the time were insufficient, and we have promised to get them to Pope Benedict XVI in Rome before February 28 " said Fr.Aldo Israel Estrella Garcia, Holy Childhood Secretary in Mexico.
According to a report sent to Fides, the Congress, held 15-17 February, was attended by more than 1,800 children and adolescents, members of IAM, from three ecclesiastic provinces Baja California, Chihuahua and Hermosillo, in northern Mexico. Among those present at the Congress the Archbishop of Hermosillo, Archbishop José Ulises Macías Salcedo and Fr Guillermo Alberto Morales Martinez, Mexico's National PMS director.
The children took part in a Missionary March across the city from the cathedral to the sports stadium, praying as they walked for all missionaries everywhere in the world. The youngsters also called for an end to all violence in Mexico making a deeply emotional stop in total silence in front of a Crucifix, marking the site of a fire in 2009 in which 49 kindergarten pupils died.(CE) (Agenzia Fides, 20/02/2013

In a reverse chronological sequence of events, Julia Alvarez takes her readers through the immigration experience of the four Garcia sisters: Carla, Sandra, Yolanda and Sofia in How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents. Leaving behind a life of privilege surrounded by their large extended family, the four girls move with their Papi and Mami to New York City, and begin the long, never-ending process of assimilating into American culture. The story is as much a coming of age tale as it is a feminist, Latino perspective on American culture, beautifully conveyed with a sprinkling of Spanish vocabulary here and there.
In the mid-1800s, Nory and her neighbor and friend, Sean, set out separately on a dangerous journey from famine-plagued Ireland, hoping to reach a better life in America.
Darcy Heart O'Hara, a young Irish girl who neglects her chores to observe the beauties of nature and everyday life, shares "family memories" with her homesick parents and siblings after the O'Haras are forced to emigrate to America in the 1840s.

Twilight Wish program helps senior keep on truckin'
That afternoon, 82-year-young Margarette made a stop at the center on her cross-country journey, experiencing life on the road alongside a female truck driver.
Margarette's wish is being made possible through the Twilight Wish Foundation, which has been granting wishes to the nation's elderly since 2004. To date, they have granted more than 1,000 wishes.
"Our care center has held a special partnership with the Twilight Wish Foundation that began in 2008," said Angelia Schlegel, Director of Marketing and Admissions. "As part of our partnership, our own residents here at Perrysburg Care & Rehabilitation Center have the opportunity to have their wishes granted if selected by the Foundation or employees."
Twilight Wish Foundation has been granting Twilight Wishes to our nation's elderly since 2004 and to date they have granted over 1,000 very special wishes.

PO Box 90689
Duke Station
Durham, NC 27708
With Turkey (or Tofurky, for us vegans) Day just around the corner, we've got a Thanksgiving-themed smorgasbord of programming for you tonight on WXDU, with a look at the treaty between the Wampanoag Confederacy and British settlers, Native American indigenous foods, and a more recent Thanksgiving tradition: football.
Up first at 6:00: Every school child learns about the first Thanksgiving around this time of year, but the lesson usually includes depictions of Pilgrims and Native Americans feasting on turkey and other local foods as they cemented their new friendly bond, followed, of course, by a handprint-Turkey-making session. But the first Thanksgiving wasn't that simple, and neither was the treaty entered into by Massasoit, the leader of the Wampanoag Confederacy, and early British colonists in the 1600s. Although the treaty began a 40-year period of peace between the two groups, there's more to the story. In this episode of Peace Talks Radio called Massasoit's Peace Pact with the Pilgrims, we'll learn more from Native American scholars on what really happened, and what it meant.
Up first tonight at 6:00 is The Endless Frontier, WXDU's science show. On tonight's episode, the hosts take a look at interdisciplinary research in the sciences. They'll explore the application of chemistry and mathematics in biology and speak with Dr. Amanda Hargrove, a Duke University Biochemistry faculty member and Victoria Deneke, a graduate student studying cell and molecular biology.
Then at 6:30: The spread of Ebola outside of Africa means that the disease has become the topic of international discussion. In Plague After War, With Good Reason's Sarah McConnell discusses what Ebola means for the future of Africa and how disease spreads in impoverished nations. Later in the show, McConnell explores the development of public relations in the 20th Century.
WXDU News is next at 7:00. On tonight's show, we'll look at the issue of gender bias on Wikipedia and how one group is trying to correct the problem. And you are probably aware of the use of drones in government and commercial operations, but many artists are joining the conversation as they incorporate the technology into their work. Artists often use utilitarian items like drones in their artwork, but we'll share how one California artist uses trashcan mosaics to help his commnity. Finally on tonight's program, we'll have the week's weather.
Up first tonight at 6:00, we have the latest edition of Jukebox Graduates, a Bruce Springsteen-themed show produced by students at Githens Middle School in Durham. Tonight Laura and Anna join us to share Springsteen's music along with trivia, anecdotes, and background information.
Up next at 7:00: Tuesday is Veterans Day, and this hour we'll hear the stories of four different veterans on the Moth Radio Hour. In Veterans Day Special 2014, the producers talk to a marine struggling to adapt after serving in the Middle East, a 97-year-old WASP veteran who trained male pilots in World War II, a father dealing with leaving his children for deployment, and a veteran of the segregated 93rd Infantry Division in the South Pacific. Please be aware that the first portion of this program contains graphic descriptions of combat that may not be suitable for younger listeners.
First at 6:00 tonight is the latest edition of The Endless Frontier, WXDU's own science show. On tonight's program, the hosts have a spooky show planned with a special post-Halloween-themed science news discussion. They'll talk about weird biology, including viruses that affect human cognition, zombie ants, and eyeless fish.
Then at 6:30: With Election Day coming up, we'll join BackStory with the American History Guys for a look at the history of elections in the United States. This episode, called Pulling the Curtain: Voting in America, which aired around the time of the 2012 presidential election, explores voter fraud in the Gilded Age, voting rights of non-citizens, and the "Southern Advantage" of the Electoral College.
And WXDU Sports is next at 7:30. On tonight's show, we'll air a documentary from Making Contact titled Concussions: Your Brain or the Game? that examines concussions in sports. The recent brain injury lawsuits by NFL players and growing scientific information about brain health has brought concussions in sports into the public discourse. This episode explores the growing focus on concussions in England's rugby players.
Schedule update: We're staying with the party until 7:30. Hip Hop Historics will follow, and The Making of the War of the Worlds Broadcast will be on at 8:00. Stay tuned to WXDU!
The 6:00 hour of tonight's News, Sports, and Information block will feature the last hour of our simulcast of the Know Your Poll party, an event we're cosponsoring with the Pinhook and Democracy North Carolina. Early voting runs through next Saturday, November 1, in North Carolina, and Election Day is Tuesday, November 4. In North Carolina, you can check your voter registration, find your polling place, and learn where and when to vote early on the NC State Board of Elections website. If you're in another state, check out your state's board of elections site for more voting information.
After the party at 7:00, we've got the debut of Hip Hop Historics with Goatt. DJ Goatt will be exploring some of hip hop's biggest players as he takes a closer look at their impact on the music world and social movements by focusing on the collaborations and events that fuel the genre. Tonight, he focuses on hip hop trio De La Soul.
We've got a full schedule tonight on WXDU News, Sports, and Information.
First at 6:00, The Endless Frontier, WXDU's own science show, takes a look at transitions. The hosts will discuss academic and career transitions as they interview people in different stages of their scientific careers about their goals and the challenges they face.
Then at 6:30: With election day coming up November 4 and early voting starting Thursday in North Carolina, WXDU is co-sponsoring a free get-out-the-vote rally next Sunday with the Pinhook and Democracy North Carolina. Caitlin Haran will be talking with Reid Johnson, event organizer and member of Schooner and Organos. Know Your Poll happens Sunday, October 26 from 2:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Pinhook, with performances inside the venue and on an outside stage on Main Street. The lineup includes PIPE, Shirlette Ammons, Daniel Bachman, Hammer No More the Fingers, Some Army, Midnight Plus One, SOON, and DJ Direwolf.
Up first tonight on the News, Sports, and Information block at 6:00, we have the latest edition of Jukebox Graduates, the show produced by students in the Githens Middle School Bruce Springsteen fan club. The kids will share songs from the Boss, along with anecdotes and commentary about the music.
Next at 7:00: October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. A diagnosis of breast cancer represents the beginning of a journey filled with difficult decisions and anxiety about the outcomes. Dina Howard shares her story in "Dina's Diary: Journey of a Cancer Survivor." In this Capital Public Radio documentary, Dina records her battle with breast cancer for one year, documenting her experience with the disease.
First at 6:00 tonight, WXDU's science show, The Endless Frontier, will take a look at a new study on the effects of artifical sweeteners on the microbiome, the bacteria that inhabit the human gut. The hosts will also examine new information about stem cell therapy and regenerative biology.
Next at 6:30, With Good Reason explores the roots of rock 'n' roll, race in imaginings of the South, dialects and education, and "Affrilachian" poetry. Host Sarah McConnell begins with a discussion of Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the "Godmother of Rock 'n' Roll." Next, she examines the portrayal of the problem of racism in Brodway plays and how teachers can deal with students who speak in dialects rather than standard English. Finally, McConnell talks about Affrilachian poetry as it celebrates its 20th anniversary.
Then at 7:30, Lincoln Wensley has WXDU Sports. Lincoln will have a wrap-up of the Duke men's football season so far, as well as analysis of the team's future this fall. He'll have comments from the team before they played last weekend's game against Miami and a recap of that match-up. Lincoln will also talk about what the Blue Devils have in store for next week's contest against Georgia Tech.
The police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, last month began a national dialogue on police behavior. At 6:00 tonight, BackStory with the American History Guys takes a look at the history of police in America. The guys talk about how the modern police department began, the historical expectations of policing, the role of race and ethnicity in law enforcement, and what happens when officers fail to protect citizens.
September 15 through October 15 is Hispanic Heritage Month. At 7:00, Philosophy Talk explores Latin American philosophy. Hosts Jon and Ken discuss the early origins of philosophy in Latin America, how it differs from that of America and Europe, and how modern Latin American philosophy is evolving.
Tonight on WXDU, we've got the latest installment of Jukebox Graduates, Githens Middle School's Bruce Springsteen fan club show. The kids take to the air at 6:00, when they'll be highlighting the best of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.
Next at 7:00, With Good Reason, in a program called "When America Took to the Air," shares the story of Aviation in America and how World War I fighter jets and stunt pilots led to the development of air mail and commercial flight. Later, they discuss the newest actor to take over the role of Doctor Who, who becomes the 12th Doctor in the show's more than 50-year run.
Then at 7:30, Martin Kang will have WXDU Sports. Martin will report the latest scores and sports news. He will also share a piece produced by Y-Press called "A Girl on the Football Team?!" which profiles one middle school girl who plays on her school's otherwise all-boy football team. Martin will also have a look at women who compete as boxers, in Radio Diaries' documentary "Teen Contender."

Far from offering us the somewhat flattened version of physical forms typical of the monocular vision of the camera, Luciano Ventrone's oil paintings have an almost overwhelming solidity and physical presence, to the point where the nearest shapes seem ready to break through the front plane of the canvas.

Thursday 27 February 1997
Our man in Havana, with a quadruple rum, a 20-peso note and two Ernests, deceased
On the third day we drove off to La Viga, a handsome ranch-house complete with gate lodge, grounds and gift shop, 15km outside Havana, where Ernest Hemingway spent the last third of his life. Although he didn't die there - he went back to Idaho to shoot himself in 1961 - the place has been preserved exactly as he left it, by special order of his buddy, Fidel C. Because of the danger that souvenir hunters might nick Papa's favourite ashtray, visitors are not allowed in, but must lean in through the open windows and doors; since it was coming on to rain as we got there, all means of ingress were firmly shut and we had to squint through the glass like nosey neighbours.
What was it like? Books and dead animals, as far as the eye could see. You expected them both of course, since Hemingway worked so hard at the image of the bookish frontiersman, the literary Tarzan, the gun- and rod-toting grammarian from whom no rhino, marlin or dangling participle was safe. But it was a surprise to see alongside the predictable books in his 4,000-strong library (Letters of Thomas Wolfe, Mailer's The Naked and the Dead, Villoldo's Latin American Resentment, Katherine Graham's Beloved Infidel), a stack of copies of True, a believe-it-or-don't "news magazine", and a volume of gruff maritime reminiscence for armchair fantasists called Give Me a Ship to Sail. What constantly tugged your heart was the plangency of details - the knick-knacks and figurines, the Schweppes tonic bottles, their contents long evaporated in the tropic heat, the corkscrew (inevitably, a bull's horn), the pencil sharpener, the tiny hairbrush. How odd that one left this shrine to masculinity bowled over, less by the macho impedimenta of bison and bullets and bourbon, than by the sight of the "eyeglass tissues" left, pending his return, on his bedside table.
The other not-quite-Cuban local hero called Ernest is, of course, Che Guevera (Ernesto at the font in his native Argentina), whose handsome fizzog is everywhere, on plates and T-shirts, on murals, advertisement hoardings, postcards, old stamps and banknotes. In ancient houses in Trinidad de Cuba (the most perfectly preserved, and still operational, relic of 18th-century colonial life), you can find his image sharing the wall with the Virgin Mary. He died in October 1967, shot by government troops in Bolivia, so you can imagine the pandemonium of remembrance that will grip the collective Cuban soul on the 30th anniversary. Since Castro is supposed to be against the "cult of personality" (the very idea), he is happy to leave his ex-lieutenant to embody the spirit of the 1959 revolution. By all accounts Che wasn't cut out for government: though head of the Cuban Bank for a period, he knew nothing about economics; a doctor by training, he preferred stirring things up to debating politics. His role under Castro was, it seems, to go round the island being a flashing- eyed morale-booster. Watching television footage of his glory days in the early Sixties, one notes with relief his slight weight problem, his inability to grow a convincing beard, his fake all-weather perma-smile, but also the charisma that outweighed all such shortcomings.
I wouldn't want to suggest that Havana is full of pickpockets, but the logistics of where to put your valuables and your hands is hard to master. During the Carnivale, I was told to leave my wallet, passport and cash in my hotel room, hidden in the usual obvious places. So I went out with just a 20-peso note in one trouser pocket and cunningly slipped my watch for safety into the other. As the crowds crushed round me, I felt myself being plucked. Sleeve, wrist, side of shirt, belt of trouser, pluck, pluck, pluck - I've never been so comprehensively plucked in my life, Missus. Voices asked for smokes, for dollars, for a dance; faces blurred before you, asking "Allemand?", "Inglesi?", "You wan' Cohibas?" Then a woman seized my arm and said, "You must come." As I looked into her face, I felt little hands in my trouser pockets, and swatted them away. I checked - the watch was still there, but of the 20 pesos only an urchin imprint remained.
Did I learn my lesson? On the last day, luggage checked out, hotel room vacated, I was heading for the shops, when three black boys appeared, shouting "Amigo! Amigo!" and clutching my hand like children, and stroking my arm in a parody of cordial transatlantic relations. "One dollar, mistah," they cried. I was no mug, I reminded myself, I've been through this before. I clamped one hand over the wallet in my right pocket, the other hand over the passport in my left pocket. "Amigo!" they shouted, in "don't- you-trust-us?" tones, and matily stroked my arm again. I lost my temper and yelled "Scram!" and they ran off. I checked wallet, passport, plane ticket, yes, yes, yes, everything was in order. But my wrist was bare. One Cobra & Bellamy watch was being rushed through the Havana backstreets by three 10-year-old artful dodgers.
Here's some advice. When you go to Cuba, take an extra arm.

I did email Darryl English, as you suggested, but he hasn't replied yet.
Maybe you would know the answer to this: how does one find the birth/death certificate for an ancestor, if you're not precisely sure when or where he was born or died? For instance, using the information you sent me on my ancestors, all I know about my great-grandfather Elias Zane is that he was born in 1858; no idea where, or when and where he died. I do, however, have the exact date and place that married my great-grandmother. Eli Leslie? Only that he was born in 1840. His mother, Hannah, is buried in the Huron Cemetery in KC. I guess maybe I should start with my father and grandfather; THEIR death certificates I can get right here in San Bernardino.

Re: Shredded Sacred Bonds [RP]
Agana's Inn
, Skyspire
RPers involved: Kamikaze, Eternal Moonlight(Amber Greenwood)
"The first impression can never be made anew.
Likewise, words, once spoken, can never be unspoken,
deeds, once done, can never be undone.
Tread therefore with the utmost caution,
for in life you will get no second chance,
only the one that has already been given to you."
Darios hadn't been waiting long when he noticed the woman that had accompanied Agana enter the room. He was sitting at a table close to where she had come from, the rooms that this establishment offered he noted, and as she was looking around the room, he couldn't help but notice what seemed to be slight confusion in her face, or perhaps just indecisiveness. Judging by her clothes, and overall appearance, he figured that she was probably not too accustomed to being in the city.
Lucky she found this place then. Agana is one of the few kind people in her business, at least here in Skyspire.
He thought to himself.
There was something else too, he was fairly confident that she was a fellow mage, he had learned to distinguish that over the years, but there was something more to it, a familiarity that he couldn't quite place, though he knew he had never met her before.
He wasn't entirely sure why, but somehow he felt he should try to get to know this person, it could be that she was a practitioner of magic herself, though there were plenty of those around. More likely, he concluded, it was the familiarity that he couldn't quite place that intrigued him. He always was one for unraveling mysteries.
"Hi there, you look like you could use some company," He began, though realized how strange that might sound he added, "I'm a friend of Agana, the name is Darios."
In retrospect, it might not have been the best way to introduce oneself, but saying anything more now would only make it worse, he only hoped she wouldn't freak out.

(1) Paid well (2) very safety conscious (3) research is supported well (4) super nice people to work with (5) flexible work hours (6) vacation is generous and used at employees own discretion.Cons
(1) Employee rating system: Employees may be rated as underperforming even though they meet all expectations. System causes animosity amongst employees and very low moral. (2) No clear description for path to promotion (3) Respect for People is a core value however it is an oxymoron because of (a) the Employee rating system, (b) the large number of year to year contractor employees. How can you plan your life with a year to year contract, minimal vacation, and no benefits, (c) slashed medical benefits.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Do not blame the "indians" when the "chiefs" are making all of the bad decisions. Focus on a well developed business plan with direction and implement the plan longer a year. Get feedback from rank and file employees. Employees are fearful of speaking out and being honest because of Rating/Ranking System.
