Elmer Gedeon
Date and Place of Birth: April 15, 1917 Cleveland, OH Date and Place of Death: April 20, 1944 St. Pol, France Baseball Experience: Major League Position: Outfield Rank: Captain Military Unit: 586th Bomb Squadron, 394th Bomb Group Area Served:European Theater of Operations
"I had my accident. It's going to be good flying from now on," Elmer Gedeon told his cousin, Bob, in 1942. Less than two years later, Gedeon was killed in action when his bomber was shot down over the battlefields of Europe.
Elmer J. Gedeon, nephew of former major league infielder Joe Gedeon, was a three-sport star at the University of Michigan and a major league outfielder. He grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, where his home stood on a hill that overlooked Brookside Park, a hub for Cleveland sandlot baseball in the 1930s.
It was at East High School in Cleveland that Gedeon laid the foundations for his fame as an athlete. He competed in basketball and football in the fall, and baseball and track in the spring. In track in 1935, he set the Ohio scholastic record of 15 seconds for 120 yards over regulation high hurdles.
At 6-foot-4 and 196 pounds, Gedeon went on to gain notoriety as a multi-sport athlete at the University of Michigan. He was a first baseman with the Wolverines baseball team and a varsity end on the football team with the ability to punt the ball a mile and run faster than anyone on the squad. It was two years, however, before he came out for track - the sport in which he demonstrated the most natural talent - because he had developed somewhat of a resentment for it back in high school because it limited his chances of playing baseball. "Michigan track coach Charlie Hoyt is raving over hurdler Elmer Gedeon, a junior and Wolverine footballer," declared the Ironwood Daily Globe in January 1938, "but Elmer is more interested in winding up in pro baseball."[1]
In February 1938, in his first hurdle races since high school, Gedeon tied meet records in both the high and low 65-yard hurdles against Michigan State. The following month he climaxed his junior season by running an American-record-tying 8.6 seconds for the 70-yard high hurdles. Nevertheless, Gedeon was already thinking ahead to a career in baseball and devised a program to enable him to combine both track and baseball during the spring. With the consent of Hoyt and baseball coach Ray Fisher, Gedeon could often be seen running hurdles in the morning, change into a baseball uniform and be ready for the game in the afternoon.
On April 13, 1938, Gedeon demonstrated that he was not only an excellent defensive first baseman, but that he could hit. In a 1-0 win over the Virginia Military Institute, Gedeon hit two home runs. "His first circuit drive in the fourth inning," declared the Ann Arbor News, "was a mighty clout high up on a bank in deep left field."[2] On May 28, his 10th inning home run beat Minnesota, 6-4. When the season concluded at the end of May, Gedeon had a.285 batting average (28 for 98) and tied the team for the lead in home runs with five. In track that year, he clinched the Big Ten high hurdles crown, and was the first person to match Jesse Owens' time of 7.2 seconds for the low hurdles in Yost Field House at Michigan. Gedeon concluded his junior year by finishing third in the 120-yard high hurdles at the NCAA track and field championships held at Minneapolis on June 18, 1938.
As the 1939 track and baseball seasons came around, coach Hoyt reflected on what might have been had Gedeon chosen to stick with track in the spring instead of dividing his time between the two sports. "I have no doubts that Elmer could have run under 14 seconds for the high hurdles if he were able to give it the necessary time and work. We've had some great hurdlers here in the past ... but this fellow Gedeon has more on the ball than any of them. Ged has been forced to make one of the greatest decisions of his life just because he is such a good hurdler. With the Olympics coming up in 1940, he would be a cinch to make the trip for Uncle Sam. But his first love is baseball and to that love he will yield."[3]
Gedeon cast his lot with baseball when he announced that he had signed a contract with the Washington Senators on June 3, 1939. He had batted .320 (32 for 100) with the Wolverines that season and joined the Senators on June 8 in Cleveland, where he expected to stay with them a short time and then be farmed out to one of their minor league affiliates.
Wanting to utilize Gedeon's speed, Senators manager Bucky Harris suggested he switch from first base to the outfield, and the 22-year-old was sent to the Orlando Senators of the Class D Florida State League to learn to play his new position. Gedeon appeared in 67 games, batted .253 and stole 15 bases before rejoining the Senators at the end of the season. His first major league appearance was on September 18, 1939, as a lateinning replacement against the Tigers in Dutch Leonard's 19th win of the year against the Tigers. The following day, Gedeon was the starting center fielder, collecting three hits in a 10-9 win over the Indians. He went hitless in another three games and finished the year with three hits in 15 at-bats.
In 1940, Gedeon was with the Senators for spring training but spent the season with the Charlotte Hornets of the Class B Piedmont League, where he hit .271 in 131 games and demonstrated his power with 11 home runs. He was recalled to Washington at the end of the season but did not make an appearance and was expected to spend 1941 with Greenville in the Class B South Atlantic League. "Gedeon is exceptionally fast for a big man," said Senators owner Clark Griffith, "and we considered him a fine prospect for a regular job with our club."[4]
Gedeon served as assistant football coach at Michigan during the fall of 1940, and received his summons for military service in January 1941. He went to spring training with Charlotte but joined the Army in March, and was carried on the Washington Senators' National Defense Service List. Taking induction at Fort Thomas, Kentucky, Gedeon reported to the Cavalry Replacement Center at Fort Riley, Kansas, on March 18. He was assigned to Troop B of the First Squadron, and became an acting corporal the first day of the 13-week training program. Reno Simone, a young recruit who arrived at Fort Riley the same time as Gedeon, recalled, "I was assigned to the kitchens, and one morning Elmer showed up and said he was tired of his men being assigned kitchen detail so he put himself on KP. Shortly thereafter, two officers showed up and gave Gedeon orders to get ready to play baseball. Elmer asked to borrow my tennis shoes as he had not brought his baseball spikes with him."[5]
On October 22, 1941, Gedeon transferred to the Army Air Force and was lucky to make the 200-pound weight-limit for pilots. He earned his pilot's wings and a commission as a second lieutenant as part of the twin-engine bomber crew training program at Williams Field near Phoenix, Arizona, in May 1942, and served with the 315th Bomb Squadron, 21st Bomb Group - an Operational Training Group - at MacDill Field in Tampa, Florida.
Flight training was always a hazardous time and almost claimed the 25-year-old's life on August 9, 1942. Gedeon was the navigator in a North American B-25 Mitchell medium-sized bomber that struggled on take-off from Raleigh Airport, North Carolina. The plane clipped pine trees at the end of the runway and plunged into a swamp before bursting into flames. Despite suffering three broken ribs, Gedeon managed to free himself and crawl from the wreckage, then realized crewmate Corporal John Rarrat was still inside. Gedeon returned to the burning plane without a moment's hesitation and pulled Rarrat to safety. Corporal Ros Ware died in the crash, Rarrat succumbed to his injuries at Rex Hospital in Raleigh, and the five other crew members all suffered serious burns and broken limbs. Gedeon was hospitalized for 12 weeks. In addition to broken ribs he suffered severe burns to his back, face, hands and legs, some of which needed skin grafts.
"The ribs gave me the most trouble," he told the Ann Arbor News. "I had to rest on my stomach because of the burns, so the ribs couldn't be taped." Gedeon's weight dropped to 155 pounds while in the hospital. "I got that weight back after I started to take vitamin pills. They gave me four each meal. The ordinary dose is two a day. I never ate so much in my life. When I started eating the plates and napkins, they cut down on my pills in a hurry."[6]
With his wounds healed, Gedeon returned to MacDill Field in Florida at the beginning of 1943 and was promoted to first lieutenant and awarded the Soldiers' Medal for his heroics. In a ceremony that was conducted by Major General St. Clair Streett, commanding officer of the Third Air Force, Gedeon's citation stated in part: `After extricating himself, Lieutenant Gedeon, regardless of the fact that he had suffered broken ribs and severe shock, re-entered the burning wreckage and removed Corporal John R. Ratrat, a fellow crew member, who had been rendered helpless, due to having received a broken back and broken leg in the crash. Corporal Rarrat would have been burned to death had it not been for the unselfish action of Lieutenant Gedeon .... The heroism displayed by Lieutenant Gedeon on this occasion reflects great credit upon himself and the military service."[7]
In March 1943, the 394th Bomb Group was formed at MacDill Field, and its personnel came from the 21st Bomb Group. Gedeon was among them. The 394th Bomb Group was developed to operate the Martin B-26 Marauder, a sleek and fast, twin-engine bomber that had earned the nickname "The Widowmaker," due to early models' high rate of accidents during takeoff. In July 1943, the group moved to Ardmore Army Air Field in Oklahoma, which had originally been Gene Autry's Flying "A" Ranch. During which time Gedeon had his own experiences of how difficult the B-26 could be to handle.Gedeon and crew were on their initial flight to Ardmore with stops at other fields along the flight path. Gedeon's aircraft departed MacDill at approximately 7:20 A.M. with a designated first stop at Lake Charles Army Air Field in Louisiana. Light rain was falling, visibility was seven miles and the wind was ENE at 9-mph. Gedeon's aircraft did not touch down until 42% of the 5325-foot wet runway was past. Brakes were applied, the aircraft skidded to the left the remainder of the runway, off the end another 300-foot ending up with the left landing gear dropping into a drainage ditch damaging the left wing and gear. There were no injuries to the crew who immediately left the aircraft. Accident investigation assigned 90% pilot judjment error and 10% airfield conditions. This experience might well have helped when a tire blew while landing at the Great Salt Plains Airfield, Oklahoma, on August 8. Gedeon was cited for showing high piloting skills in controlling the B-26 when the tire exploded.[8]
In the intense summer heat, the Marauder crews of the 394th flew combat simulations and high altitude bombing practice. before moving north to Kellogg Field, near Battle Creek, Michigan, in late August 1943, where it conducted its first simulated mission on September 1 - the destruction of a bridge at Saugatuck, Michigan. It was at Kellogg Field that the group learned it was definitely slated for combat duty overseas. Following participation in the Tennessee Air Support Command Maneuvers at Atterbury Army Air Field, Columbus, Indiana, during October and November 1943, the group shipped overseas, and the newly promoted Captain Gedeon arrived at Boreham Field, near Chelmsford in England, in February 1944. Known as the "Bridge Busters," the purpose of the 394th Bomb Group was to fly tactical missions in support of the Allied build-up to the invasion of Europe. Gedeon was the Operations Officer for the 586th Bomb Squadron and one of the most popular officers in the group. He was in charge of planning missions, and the assignment of crews and planes. He would interpret the orders sent to the group from the higher command and provide this information to the crews. "He had a delightful sense of humor and was a super gentleman," recalls fellow officer James Taaffe.[9]
With his duties as operations officer, Gedeon was not a regular flyer but on the afternoon of April 20, 1944, just five days after celebrating his 27th birthday, he piloted a B-26B, one of 30 Marauders that left Boreham Field that afternoon to bomb a German VI site being constructed at Bois d'Esquerdes, France. It was the group's 13th mission.
It was nearly 7:30 P.M. when the group approached the target area and encountered blinding searchlights and intense, accurate, heavy anti-aircraft fire. The sky was suddenly full of puffs of black explosions that were silhouetted against the searchlights. These explosions generated hundreds of pieces of jagged steel that could easily set oxygen and gas tanks blazing, or rip through the wings of a plane and just as easily through the bodies of the men inside. Lining up to make the bombing run the flak grew heavier, thicker and more deadly, causing planes to bounce around from nearby bursts.
Gedeon's bomber had dropped its bombs and just passed over the target when it received a direct hit below the cockpit, instantly filling the plane with flames. Gedeon fell forward against the controls as co-pilot James Taaffe, with his clothing on fire, desperately struggled to open the pilot's and co-pilot's top hatches. Taaffe looked back and saw no movement from Gedeon as he scrambled to safety through the hatch. As he descended through the night sky he watched the flame-engulfed airplane spiral out of control and explode on impact, carrying Gedeon and five others to their death. The other crew members were Second Lieutenant Jack March, Staff Sergeant Joseph Kobret, Sergeant John Felker, Sergeant Ira Thomas and Private Charles Atkinson.[10]
Gedeon was reported missing in action - his fate unknown. It was not until May 1945 that his father, Andrew A. Gedeon, received word from his son's commanding officer that the graves of the missing airmen had been located in a small British army cemetery in St. Pol, France. Elmer Gedeon's body was later returned to the United States and rests at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.
On May 30, 1946, a memorial service was held before the Charlotte Hornet's game, to remember Elmer Gedeon and also Forrest "Lefty" Brewer, both killed in WWII.
In 1983, he was inducted into the University of Michigan Hall of Honor for track and baseball.

Update: Arrested O.C. woman knew she could be deported
WASHINGTON – A UC Irvine graduate who is living in the United States illegally was arrested on Capitol Hill Tuesday with a group of young people protesting the lack of a bill that would grant them legal status.
Antonia Rivera was one of 12 people – six men and six women – who were arrested after they sat in a circle in the atrium of the Hart Senate Office Building. They were charged with disorderly conduct and were being processed by Capitol Police Tuesday afternoon.
The 12 are part of hundreds of students who came to Washington this week to try and convince lawmakers to pass the DREAM Act, a bill that would allow young people who were brought here illegally by their parents a chance to gain legal status. Opponents, however, say passing such a bill would reward illegal behavior and that people who came here illegally or overstayed their visas shouldn't be allowed to remain.
Rivera is one of those people who would benefit from the DREAM Act.
The 28-year-old, who was brought here by her parents from Mexico when she was six years-old, graduated UC Irvine in 2006 with a degree in literary journalism. Since then she has been unable to work, she said, because she has no documents.
Moments before she was arrested Rivera said in an interview that she was confident that the DREAM Act would pass this year. She said if the bill passed it would mean her freedom so she wouldn't have to continue to live an underground life.
The 12 protesters were wearing graduation caps and gowns. Earlier in the day several hundred activists staged a mock graduation ceremony at a nearby church to demonstrate the fact that despite having finished college they could not work in their chosen fields of study.
On the floor in the middle of the circle in the Hart Building were banners that read "DREAM Act now" and "Undocumented and Unafraid."
"There is no demonstrating in a Capitol building," said Capitol Hill Police spokeswoman Sgt. Kimberly Schneider. She said the charge is a misdemeanor and typically people are released the same day.
Witnesses said police approached the group, told them they had to disperse or they would be arrested. They continued to sit. A few minutes later police arrested them.
Schneider said she couldn't say whether Rivera and the other protesters – all of whom witnesses said were undocumented – would be turned over to federal immigration officials.
"Everyone will be run through the system," including federal data bases, Schneider said.
Before they went to the middle of the Hart building, the protesters made the rounds of Senate offices, visiting three Democratic senators all of whom support the DREAM Act. These included California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, who chairs the immigration subcommittee, and Sen. Bob Menendez, the only Hispanic senator.
"They came and sat in the reception area and talked to a member of our staff about the DREAM Act," said Feinstein's communications director Gil Duran. "They were there for about 30 minutes and then they left."
The DREAM Act activists have staged similar protesters at Feinstein's offices in the state despite her support for the Act. She has co-sponsored the bill ever since Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., introduced it.
"They have the view that more should be done," Duran said. "It's unfortunate that they would resort to getting themselves arrested as political statement instead of working to build the bipartisan support the bill would need."

Facing TV Problems? Ask a TV Technician.
Thank you for posting your question on Just Answer! I will be happy to help you with this problem. Can you please give us some more information so I can better answer your questions.
-What exactly does the tv do when you turn it on?
-Do you have sound?
-How old is the unit?
- Do you have this problem while watching all different devices hooked to this television? (DVD player, cable, satellite, game counsel, ect.)
Please give me this information and I will be happy to assist you further.
Thank you,
Tim Nolan
when we turn it on...we can hear the noise that turns it on...see two green lights and one red flashing continously. Usually only 1 green light when you turn it on. The volume works. The unit is 4 years old.
There is a very good chance that we have a bad lamp here. Which is about the best case for you.
Do you still have your owners manual? If so there are instructions on how to remove the lamp. I think the first thing we should do here is take it out and inspect it. We might find that it is shattered and know without a doubt that it needs to be replaced.
If you do not have you owners manual let me know and I will get you instructions on how to change the lamp.
Also if you don't know about the lamps in these sets here is some information: These lamps are a "consumer replaceable item" meaning they are made for you to change. This is similar to changing a light bulb in a lamp but allot more expensive and a little more difficult. These lamps last on average anywhere from 1 to 3 years before they need to be changed. They also burn out based upon the number of hours the tv is on and the number of times the tv is turned on in its life. The more you watch the tv the faster the lamp will burn out, and the more you turn the tv on and off the faster it will burn out. There is really no way to prolong the life of a lamp other than not watch the tv, so most people don't worry about it to much and just expect for this to happen ever couple of years.
If you have the owner's manual, follow the instructions and remove the lamp, tell me what you see. If you don't have it let me know and I will get you the instructions to remove it.
If you would like any additional information or have more questions please don't hesitate to ask!
Please never accept an answer until you are 100% satisfied and feel you can leave positive feedback. If I have answered your questions and met your needs then please press the green "accept" button. Otherwise please feel free to ask anything else to get your problem resolved. Positive feedback is always appreciated! Thank you,Tim Nolan
I recommend www.dlplampsource.com but you can choose any place you like...
Also if you are facing the tv, look on the back left side, do you see a small door in the back? (not the round one half way up, but one near the bottom of the tv) take that door off and then you can remove the lamp and inspect it.
Well sometimes you can tell by looking at it and sometimes you cannot. If you pull it out and glass is rolling around that is a bad sign, another sign is if the metal conductor from the center to the side is broken in half, lastly if at the base of the filament in the center has a tumor on the side of it that is not good either.
If you like you can take a head on picture of it and post it to me, I will inspect for you.
If you would like any additional information or have more questions please don't hesitate to ask!Please never accept an answer until you are 100% satisfied and feel you can leave positive feedback. If I have answered your questions and met your needs then please press the green "accept" button. Otherwise please feel free to ask anything else to get your problem resolved. Positive feedback is always appreciated! Thank you,Tim Nolan
You can post a message to me Sunday, but I am not sure if I will be here much, most likely in and out I normally take Sundays off. I work Monday, Tuesday, Wenesday, Friday and Saturday. But normally I stop in for an hour or 2 on sundays.
Ok well the lamp can look perfect and still be bad so keep that in mind, but also you could have a bad power supply, ballast, color wheel, dmd board, or digital board.
Earlier you mentioned that you can hear the noise that turns it on, what do you mean by this? can you describe this noise?

The boss of Zhaopin, Evan Guo, had a short stint in Sydney and Melbourne last November, just as negotiations for
Guo spent his time in meetings with SEEK chief executive
In the days before Christmas, it was Bassat and Lenga, the managing director of SEEK International, who were breaking bread with their counterparts in China.They discussed Zhaopin's future strategic direction including a potential initial public offering – either in Hong Kong or on the Nasdaq.
While most bankers and executives enjoyed a rest, those working on a selldown by Macquarie Capital and other shareholders – including seed investors and former Zhaopin staff – got little reprieve. It was tools down only for Christmas day, otherwise daily communication via email and phone continued as normal.
Lenga spearheaded the transaction, flanked by an internal finance and strategy team of about eight people. But the latest SEEK transaction also brings several high profile names closer together.
There is a longstanding relationship between
Consolidated Press did not participate in the Zhaopin selldown, reflecting Packer's desire to share in any potential future earnings uplift or a possible float.
The tie between the Bassat brothers Andrew and Paul and the Packer family kicked off a decade ago as Publishing & Broadcasting switched support from its own Monster job site to Seek. Both Packer – as chairman of
Current Seek chairman Chatfield has his hands full in early 2013, as he pushes forward with the Zhaopin deal and
Chatfield and Lenga leaned on Goldman Sachs Melbourne-based operative Nick Sims to help buy further stock in Zhaopin. Sims knows the company well, after helping to steer several SEEK deals including the purchase of a 60 per cent stake in JobsDB about two years ago.
Graham Goldsmith, a former Goldman equity capital markets banker, was appointed to the SEEK board in October last year after severing formal ties with the investment bank.
On the Macquarie side, the Sydney-based investment bank, started discussions to exit its stake as a financial investor in Zhaopin several months ago.
John Hughes, the head of Macquarie's principal investment's unit, and Macquarie Capital boss Tim Bishop did the leg work to crystalise an almost five year investment. In 2008, Macquarie paid an estimated $US60 million for an initial 29.1 per cent of Zhaopin. At the same time, SEEK spent $US45 million to lift its stake in Zhaopin from 30 per cent to 42.9 per cent.
Friday's announcement will see SEEK's shareholding rise from 55.5 per cent to 72.3 per cent and as high as 79 per cent depending on a buyback offered to other shareholders on the same terms.
Macquarie's dealings with SEEK date back to the management of the company's IPO in 2005, while the group has won the lion's share of the SEEK's equity raising work, even though UBS was also brought in for a follow-on issue four years ago.
Interestingly Macquarie's joint informal mandate with Credit Suisse to assess sharemarket listing options for Zhaopin in the next 12 to 24 months, remains in place.
As Macquarie and SEEK operatives put the finishing touches on the former's selldown, Lenga, also a director of Zhaopin, is keeping a close watch on conditions in a volatile global market for IPOs.
Friday's statement was clear in pointing out that a simplification of Zhaopin's capital structure would assist in its progression to a sharemarket float (subject to market conditions of course).
The idea of a Zhaopin listing has been around for more than 12 months, but plans stalled amid concerns about growth prospects in China and the overall health of the IPO market.
The company reported strong profit growth in the year to June 30, although some analysts say the selldown by Macquarie and others suggests earnings growth isn't tracking as strongly as some were forecasting.
One thing is certain, 2013 will be an important year for Zhaopin.
As the start of the Chinese year of the snake on February 10 draws closer, SEEK will be one step further up the ladder to completing the Zhaopin transaction.
Subject to various conditions, it is due to complete by February 28.

Vista Alegre, a fine porcelain and crystal tableware, and giftware company, has announced the creation of a subsidiary in the United States, Vista Alegre USA, which will import and distribute its products throughout North America. The company's collections will roll out to authorized U.S. retailers in April following their official debut at the New York Tabletop Market, on the ninth floor of Forty One Madison.
"Vista Alegre USA offers the depth and breadth of a prestigious, innovative brand, supported by a new distribution facility with a dedicated customer service and operations team that will provide all U.S. logistical services," said Daniel Da Silva, president of Vista Alegre USA. The company's new warehouse space in Fairfield, NJ will provide all order management and distribution services within the U.S. market.
"Creating a subsidiary that will import and distribute Vista Alegre products while controlling the supply chain and the communication around the brand is the only way for us to make sure that our retailers receive superior customer service," added Da Silva. "Everything Vista Alegre is doing is designed to streamline the purchasing experience of our retailers and to help us become one of their primary suppliers."
Vista Alegre's 13,000-square-foot distribution facility in New Jersey will play an integral role in the company's newly-created Quick Ship Program. This new program, according to the company, allows it to guarantee North American delivery of 500 SKUs within three to five business days. The company will deliver special orders within four to six weeks. The products in Vista Alegre's Quick Ship Program represent a cross-section of fine porcelain, crystal and giftware, and will change over time according to ongoing retail demand, the company stated.

Kellogg was great. Quinn is beyond awful.
This sucks.
Mark Boyle would be a great TV guy.... just a thought.
"He wanted to get to that money time. Time when the hardware was on the table. That's when Roger was going to show up. So all we needed to do was stay close"
Darnell Hillman (Speaking of former teammate Roger Brown)
I don't mind Quinn at all. Denari's a beast.
Clark will be back. He will feel the itch again to do Pacer games. He probably is burned out at the moment.
I hate this, Clarke it great and although I love Quinn as an IU/Pacer guy.. Clarke is so much better to listen to... Chris is great also, but will miss Clarke big time on broadcasts...
"Squeeze the orange big fella".....going to miss Kellogg. He is still going to be doing NCAA?
I will miss Clark. From now on I will be turning the volume down on the TV and listening to Boyle for every game. I don't care if there is a lag. No one does the big game winning calls better than Boyle anyway....
Agreed. The only time I really enjoyed him was the garbled Mun-Dunleavy call, which, mind you, was a mistake.
What does VP of Player Relations actually do?
He's someone for players to talk to.
At least, that's what it appears to be.
In 49 states it's just basketball, but this is Indiana!
He can't do that informally? It has to be an official position? Just seems like it some sort of millenial generation crap...
Am I the only one who thought it said "colored?"
I was... surprised.
This space for rent.
I guess this means I need to figure out if I still own a radio.
"And Tottenham do not know what hit them...well I can tell you, it's Theo Walcott!"
"And it's Tony Adams put through by Steve Bould, WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT?! That...sums it all up."
Bah. No more fruit from the tree of penetration for us...
Too bad, I really liked him as an analyst.
By the way, every time I see Chris Denari I have to think of Michael Scott from The Office. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
I am a big fan of Kellogg as IRL broadcasting and NBA2k,lol. I know a lot of people dont care for him but I have always enjoyed him as he knows his basketball. He was also a very good player in his day and its to bad a injury cut his career short.
When I die I want to be buried upside down so all my critics can kiss my @$$ - Bobby Knight
I would walk thru hell in a gasoline suit to play the game of baseball - Pete Rose
Though I appreciate the kind words directed my way, I would respectfully request that nobody mention my name in connection with TV ever again.
As in never.
I got into broadcasting to do play-by-play, which means radio. I've done television and hated it. Too many people involved, no real play-by-play opportunity, and too much superfluous nonsense. I would rather get involved with one of the Kardashians than do television again.
Thank you. I now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....
Well this just means that the TV volume gets turned down and the radio gets turned up louder.
So your saying telling me theres a chance?

If you have a DVR then you could do your best to back it up a few seconds and watch it a few seconds later than its happening... May take a couple tries to match it with the radio but it should work.
I'm going to miss Clark. He came up with some great, and very random, lines. Still, I'm just glad at least there will be commentary soon.
Danger Zone
Clark was awesome - he'll be missed. I don't mind Denari and Buckner but I would love to have the radio team on TV, as impossible as it is. I don't watch many games live - all on DVR so I can't turn the TV down and listen to the radio, but having Boyle do the games would be awesome.

Bad Math: Taxes Rise as Savings Fall
It's time to rethink how much you're saving for retirement and how you're saving it.
For one thing, the recent budget deal in Washington (aka the American Taxpayer Relief Act) didn't renew the so-called employee payroll-tax holiday. That means higher Social Security payroll taxes—and smaller paychecks—for nearly all wage earners.

** plus VAT where applicable
AA Cars works closely with thousands of UK used car dealers to bring you one of the largest selections of BMW 528 cars on the market. You can also browse BMW dealers to find a second hand car close to you today. All used BMW 528 on the AA Cars website come with free 12 months breakdown cover.
The BMW 528 is the smallest petrol option in the excellent, much lauded 5 Series, yet still manages to offer serious power and performance. With a 2.0 litre engine it might seem underpowered, but its 240bhp pushes it to a very brisk 60mph sprint in just 6.4 seconds while at the same time returning over 40mpg returns. Like its many siblings, the 528 is calm and assured on the road, tackling all but the most pocked of surfaces with comfort and ease. Its steering might not excite driving enthusiasts, but being smooth and easy it fits its cruising requirements very well. The compact engine might put many off opting for the 528, but its mix of performance and efficiency is easily one of the best and most surprising in the BMW range.

Q: I want to check my harvested turkey online, where do I start?
A: REMEMBER: You must check your harvested bird BEFORE you process the bird for the table, freezer, or taxidermy.
To check a harvested turkey online, there are a few, but very important pieces of information needed. Required information will include: town of harvest, date of harvest, and the bird's sex, beard and spur lengths. In addition, optional information will include: bird weight, type of hunting equipment used and the Wildlife Management Zone where the bird was harvested.
Q: How do I log in to check my harvested game online?
A: To check your harvested turkey online, you must first log into the MassFishHunt system. Click here or copy and paste http://www.mass.gov/massfishhunt into your web browser, then click on the "Buy a License or Permit Online/Game Check!!!"
- You'll need your customer ID number and your last name to log into the MassFishHunt system. Customer ID numbers are found on every hunting/sporting license and all permits, so simply look at the top left corner of your license or permit for the 6 or 7 digit number. Enter that number and your last name to log into the MassFishHunt system.
- Click on the "Report a Harvest" button in the lower right of the screen, choose the Wild Turkey, click the" Add" button and the information you need to fill in will appear.
Q: SEX: How do I know if a turkey is male or female?
A: At a distance, male (also called toms or gobblers) and female (hens) turkeys may look similar, but a closer look will reveal some important and obvious differences.
For an image of male and female turkeys, see page 35 of the Hunting, Fishing, and Trapping Guide, or visit the following link.
Beards: For the most part, only male turkeys have beards. Turkey beards are modified feathers that look like hair that hangs from the center of a turkey's chest. Occasionally, there are bearded females. Hens can ONLY be harvested in the spring season if they have beards.
Spurs: Males have noticeable spurs (nail-like features) located above the foot.
Coloration: Males are typically blackish in appearance while females are a duller bronze/brown.
Breast Feathers: Look at the tips of the breast feathers; male feathers are black while female feathers are brown.
Head Color and Caruncles: In the spring the head on male turkeys is often white, blue and/or red, while females are typically bluish-gray in color. Males also have various fleshy features on their heads and neck called caruncles and snoods.
Q: SPURS: How do I measure the spur on a harvested turkey?
A: Turkey spurs are nail-like features that extend off of a male turkey's leg above the foot. To measure the spur, place a ruler at the base of the spur and measure to the tip of the spur. Adult turkeys have spurs that are greater than ½", juvenile turkeys (i.e., jakes), have spurs that are less than ½" and are typically small rounded bumps. Female turkeys do not have noticeable spurs.
Juvenile Male Turkey Rounded Spur Female Turkey Leg Turkey Spur Measuring
Q: BEARDS: How do I measure the beard on a harvested turkey?
A: Turkey beards are hair-like features which are actually just a modified feather. The beards jut out or hang down from the center of a turkey's chest. The vast majority of bearded turkeys are male but occasionally, female birds will have beards. These birds can be legally harvested during the spring season. To measure the beard, place a ruler at the base of the beard where it emerges from the skin and measure the length of the longest filament (hair).
Turkey Beard Measuring a Turkey Beard
Q: I made a mistake when entering my turkey check information online but can't fix the mistake because it was already submitted. What do I do?
A: Once all the information is submitted and confirmed, hunters cannot go back and edit the information. If you believe you made a mistake and submitted inaccurate information, please contact the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (DFW) at (508) 389-6300 from 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM Monday-Friday.

POTD: Jamie Lee Curtis Cosplayed at the 'Warcraft' Premiere as an Orc Shaman
Posted on Tuesday, June 7th, 2016 by Ethan Anderton
Even though the early buzz on the Warcraft movie hasn't been that great, that didn't stop Halloween and Freaky Friday star Jamie Lee Curtis and her son from showing their excitement at the premiere. The mother-son duo showed up in full orc wardrobe, with Curtis dressed up as an orc shaman and her son Tom as an orc warrior. As you can see, we're not just talking about throwing on some armor, but full face paint too.

No one injured in another accident near Glenham
A two-vehicle accident on U.S. Highway12 Thursday, June 14, near the Glenham Cemetery resulted in major damage to both vehicles involved and led to the arrest of one of the drivers.
At about 6:45 a.m., multiple callers reported a vehicle traveling westbound on Highway 12 was being driven erratically and had nearly run one vehicle off of the road. Those were followed by a call that reported the vehicle had collided with another east of Glenham.
South Dakota Highway Patrolman Shane Snyder came upon the accident just moments after it occurred.
A 2000 Oldsmobile Alero, driven by Logan Kosters, 20, of Mobridge, was eastbound on Highway 12, when it crossed the centerline, sideswiping a westbound 2011 Dodge Ram driven by Richard Wales, 65, of Mobridge.
According to Snyder, he observed the Kosters' vehicle was leaving the scene of the accident and driving into Glenham. He apprehended the two people as they left the vehicle and tried to escape on foot.
Kosters was arrested for DUI and hit and run.
None of the three people involved in the accident required medical attention, according to Snyder.
The Walworth County Sheriff's Department, Mobridge First Responders and the Mobridge Ambulance Service assisted at the scene.

What's the most positive thing that can be said about the new Rob Schneider vehicle? Well, it's not as pathetic as The Animal. (Now there's a breakout quote for a newspaper ad if ever I saw one!)
Once again, we have a movie that exists mostly because Adam Sandler likes Rob Schneider and apparently thinks he's funny. The desperation with which Sandler continues to try to foist Schneider on the rest of the world is appallingly obvious this round. Not only does Sandler give himself a small role in the film (he only had a brief cameo in The Animal), but he's ensured that a clip of one of his scenes made it into the trailer to goose interest in The Hot Chick. In one sense, that's fair, since Sandler's turn as a marijuana-obsessed wannabe Jamaican is the funniest thing in the picture, even if it plays like a Saturday Night Live skit; but, hey, it's only a couple of scenes painfully grafted onto the film. (Screenwriters Schneider and Tom Brady missed a good chance to make Sandler's character a part of the fabric of the movie, but then they missed so many things that this is understandable.)
The movie's premise is so old that there's moss growing on it: Small-time crook Clive (Schneider) and Jessica (Rachel McAdams), the Hot Chick of the title, switch bodies thanks to some magical earrings. In other words, think Big or Vice Versa with penis jokes — or simply think Blake Edwards' Switch, Goodbye, Charlie or even 1940's Turnabout, revamped for maximum adolescent crudity. There are so many things wrong and wrong-headed about The Hot Chick that it's hard to know where to start, but they all come back to Rob Schneider.
First of all, there's the problem of Schneider's character, Clive, who is Schneider at his most self-absorbed and least funny. We meet Clive in the process of a gas-station robbery. Clive isn't a very good thief, nor is he a very bright one, but it doesn't matter because he has no actual character. He exists solely to get the plot under way and to treat us to Schneider filling his swag bag with nachos and cheese sauce, eating cheese sauce straight out of the pump and drinking a Slushie by putting his mouth under the spout. This is supposed to be riotously funny, and I suppose it might be if you're convinced that anything Schneider does is hilarious. Personally, I found it embarrassingly unfunny and reminiscent of Jerry Lewis at his narcissistic worst, stopping a movie's narrative flow dead in its tracks just to show off.
When Clive awakens in Jessica's body, it doesn't get any better; it only changes direction. At least Jessica has a character, but Schneider hasn't a clue how to play a woman. He merely minces and flounces and adopts a limp wrist like a cheap gay caricature. It doesn't help that we've seen how the real Jessica behaves and it's nothing like what Schneider gives us. That might be forgivable if it was funny, but it isn't. Rather than comedically explore the deeper ramifications of such a body change, the film goes straight for jokes so low that you need a minesweeper to find them. How many times is it possible for Jessica/Clive to have to master the art of urination? The film manages to play it out at great length twice. We also have flatulence gags, nose-hair gags and any-other-bodily-function hilarity that came to mind.
Structurally, the movie's a shambles, but it's not hard to understand why. Rather than follow the parallel experiences of Clive in Jessica's body, the film loses her for reels until her presence becomes necessary to wrap up the plot. Considering the fact that Rachel McAdams is far funnier and more adept at coming across as Clive in a woman's body, it's reasonable that Schneider would pare her footage to the bare minimum.
In its marginal favor, The Hot Chick raises some interesting questions about the nature of gender and whether we fall in love with a person or with that person's gender, but it finally cops out in a testament to utter shallowness. Since Jessica's best friend, April (Anna Faris), falls in love with Jessica in Clive's body, it would logically follow that she'd still be in love with Jessica in Jessica's body; but, no, that's presumably too much for the film's target audience, so she turns her attention to Clive in his own body. This is actually pretty creepy considering Clive's non-character; and in the end, the film can't even hold onto the idea anyway, jettisoning it in favor of a cheesy gag ending.
Interestingly, this is the second film involving Sandler's participation to present a more-user-friendly gag in its trailer than the one that actually appears in the film. Where the trailer for Adam Sandler's 8 Crazy Nights offered a cleaned-up version of its port-a-john bit, the trailer for The Hot Chick's gives us a reference to a "camp counselor" to make a pedophile "joke," while the film itself refers to the pedophile as "Father Mulcahy."
It's one thing to push the envelope. It's another entirely to sail under false colors in order to not offend a potential ticket-buyer.

The Rivers State Police Command have arrested a man named Nwanaka Egbo, who reportedly abducted his elder sister, Nwanaka Ada, and demanded a sum of N10m for her release.
This was confirmed by Nnamdi Omoni, the state Police Public Relations Officer, who told the press on Friday, August 12, 2016, when the suspect was being paraded.
Nwanaka reportedly did this in collaboration with his friend, who kept her in captivity.
"On the 31st of August 2016, while Egbo was in his barbing salon, a friend of his came to him and told him that they should kidnap his (Egbo) sister."
"Egbo directed some members of his gang to his elder sister room, where she was kidnapped."
"The gang later demanded for a N10 million ransom. But with our investigation, security operatives stormed the hideout of the gang and rescued the Egbo sister (Ada Nwanaka), who is currently receiving treatment in the hospital."
"Egbo's friend, who planned the kidnap with him, was killed during a shootout with operatives of the Anti-kidnapping Unit of the State Police Command."
The woman was rescued by armed policemen, who killed his accomplice in a fierce gun battle.

BEST Sydney: K Jack, McVeigh, O'Keefe, Malceski, Tippett, Kennedy, B Jack, Bird. Melbourne: Fitzpatrick, Terlich, Rodan, Garland, Watts, Howe.
INJURIES Sydney: Reid (quad). Melbourne: Frawley (hamstring).
UMPIRES Mollison, Hay, Harris.
CROWD 26,216 at MCG.
It was, defender Colin Garland admitted, the type of match in which Melbourne would have been blown away for much of this season.
The lowly Demons produced a commendable first-quarter effort to trail Sydney by just two goals. They did likewise in the Queen's Birthday match, only to be pummelled 16 goals to six by Collingwood thereafter.
Given Sydney's dominance of the second quarter for inside-50s (21 to 4), contested possessions (45 to 24), clearances (12 to 5) and scoring shots (14 to 3), it should have gone to the main break with a win assured and on the cusp of a percentage-boosting thrashing.
While the Swans' profligacy in front of goal - four goals from 14 shots - gave the Demons a huge reprieve, it was not just a matter of what the Swans did not do.
The continued solid efforts of many Demons, particularly unsung players such as Jack Fitzpatrick and Dean Terlich, meant they were able to walk off the MCG with a comparatively good result - a 31-point loss.
''I think we made some strides in the keep-coming aspect,'' said Garland, who rated the performance as comparable to the win over the Western Bulldogs the previous weekend.
''I think Sydney will tell you they've had to play four quarters against us. Maybe earlier in the year we were two-and-a-half quarters and then we were gone.''
Midfield depth - the absence of it - is regularly cited as Melbourne's biggest weakness. Such a trait is always a problem, but especially so against a well-drilled opponent boasting the likes of Kieren Jack, Jarrad McVeigh, Ryan O'Keefe, Josh Kennedy and Dan Hannebery - and they are just the top-liners.
It said a lot about the midfield riches of the Swans that while Kennedy seemed conspicuously quiet, he actually finished with a game-high 33 possessions and 11 clearances, albeit in a performance that was easier to ignore because all but four of his disposals were by hand.
The issue of how Melbourne's midfield curbed Sydney's was always going to be a key focus. It became especially important after the other big issue - how the Swans would shoehorn Kurt Tippett and Sam Reid into the same forward line - disappeared after just 13 minutes when Reid suffered a game-ending quad injury.
Jack and McVeigh rarely disappoint. They played even above those lofty expectations during that first half, snaring 39 possessions and 12 forward entries between them. By contrast the Demons' most prolific ball-winners were key defenders, James Frawley and Tom McDonald. The composure of the Melbourne defenders was invaluable.
In-form forward Jack Watts was dragged back at one point to help stymie the Swans.
The resilience that caretaker Melbourne coach Neil Craig commended his players for after the match was particularly evident in the defenders, but not exclusively.
The Demons began the last quarter with a 44-point deficit, and while they never seriously threatened a boilover - three Sydney goals in 2½ minutes midway through the term guaranteed the win - their ability to kick five of the eight goals for the quarter should not be discounted.
Inexperienced ruck duo Max Gawn and Fitzpatrick were not disgraced against premiership ruck duo Shane Mumford and Mike Pyke, with Fitzpatrick having genuine claims to be his team's best player with 17 possessions, eight marks and three goals.
Sydney's first taste of having both Kurt Tippett and Sam Reid as key forward targets was fleeting. Reid started on the bench and had to be substituted out of the match after just 13 minutes after an apparent recurrence of a calf injury he suffered in late May. Tippett provided more evidence of why the Swans chased him so hard when he left Adelaide.
Injury prevented former Collingwood forward Chris Dawes playing in the first six matches for his new club. He finished strongly against the Swans, fuelling expectations the Demons will boast a threatening forward line once Mitch Clark returns.
While co-captain Kieren Jack produced another fine performance on Sunday, he had to share some of the spotlight with his younger brother Brandon. After being brought on early as the substitute due to Reid's injury, he made the most of his chance with a four-goal haul. Easily the best sign of his football nous was a brilliant roved goal to a long kick into the Swans forward line in the third quarter. He was unable to match older brother Kieren for possessions - 10 compared with 30 - but was, nevertheless, worthy of praise.

Mined Land Reclamation - 2014 Executive Summary & Trends
Mineral Production, Market Value and Economic Impact
Mining occurs in every region of New York State except the New York City area, as shown on the map entitled "Mines in New York" (see link below). The U.S. Geological Survey estimated the annual value of New York's mineral production in 2009 at $1.37 billion. The estimated economic impact from mining in New York in 2011 (the most recent year for which this data is available) is $4.98 billion.
Production of the state's major mined commodities remains relatively constant from year to year. New York ranks sixteenth nationally in terms of overall nonfuel mineral production. Typically, New York ranks second in industrial garnet production, third in salt, sixth in construction sand and gravel, common clays and dimension stone, and fourteenth in crushed stone. New York remains the sole domestic producer of wollastonite. New York is also a significant producer of masonry cement and portland cement.
The Center for Governmental Research, Inc. (CGR) document entitled "The Economic Impact of the New York State Mining and Construction Materials Industry, October 2011" prepared for the New York State Geological Survey/New York State Museum states that the majority of mining in New York is for construction materials used to build and maintain the state's infrastructure. The mined commodities, in addition to the hot mixed asphalt, ready mix concrete and cement industries, were responsible for generating $1.2 to $1.3 billion in wages and 28,000 to 30,000 jobs in New York State. CGR estimates the mining and construction materials industry contributes about $100 million in public sector revenues (sales tax, personal income tax, motor fuel tax, corporate franchise tax and Mined Land Reclamation Law fees). The Division assessed $4.18 million in regulatory program fees in 2014, which is slightly higher than the amount assessed in 2013.
Types of Mines and Mineral Usage
The most common mine types in 2014 were sand and gravel (1,579), limestone (90), and bluestone (88). In 2014, New York had 1,952 active mines, a decrease of 31 mines from 2013. The vast majority of these mines produced sand and gravel or other surficial deposits such as glacial till, clay or topsoil. Sand and gravel mines account for over 81% of DEC-regulated mines. Fourteen of the new mining permits issued in 2014, or 50%, were for sand and gravel.
There were 325 hardrock mines producing material ranging from bluestone, limestone, shale and salt, to less common products such as wollastonite. Most of New York's hardrock mines are surface quarries, but there are several permitted underground mines.
The Mineral Information Institute reports that "every American born will consume 3.03 million pounds of minerals, metals and fuels in his or her lifetime." In addition to recycled materials, nearly 38,524 pounds of new minerals must be provided every year for the things that every person in the United States uses.
Permitting and Reclamation Statistics
The number of permitted mines has declined for 16 consecutive years. Mine operators continued to replace production by expanding current mines, rather than opening new ones. This trend held true for sand and gravel mines while the total number of hardrock quarries experienced a slight increase. Only 28 of the 464 mined land reclamation permits issued in 2014 were for new facilities.
A total of 47,419 acres were affected by mining in 2014 out of a total approved life-of-mine area of 126,559 acres. All affected acreage must be reclaimed at the conclusion of mining operations. Concurrent reclamation can be accomplished immediately upon completion of a portion or "phase" of a mine while mining occurs elsewhere within the life of mine area, or reclamation of the entire affected area can occur when mining has stopped, known as final reclamation. The Division of Mineral Resources continues to have success promoting concurrent reclamation with 590 acres reclaimed at 81 operating mines in 2014. Final reclamation of 345 acres occurred at 51 closed mines bringing the 2014 total to 935 acres. Roughly 36,288 acres of land affected by mining have been reclaimed since 1975.
In 2014, New York held $254.6 million in financial security to guarantee mine site reclamation.
In 2014, Mined Land staff performed 2,005 mine inspections and traveled 120,176 miles. Staff inspect mine sites:
- during permit application review;
- during operation for general compliance;
- to ensure that violations are remediated;
- to ensure that reclamation meets requirements; and
- to investigate complaints.

Stone has accepted an apology and an undisclosed sum in libel damages from London's Daily Mail for a report claiming she lacks of basic maternal insti
Sharon Stone is undergoing the similar experience as that happens to fellow actress Teri Hatcher who has just accepted an apology from Britain's best-selling newspaper The Sun over a story that claimed she had sex with men in a van outside her home.
As of Stone, the beauty is receiving undisclosed damages and a formal apology from London's Daily Mail Thursday April 27th, 2006 for its June last year report alleging that Stone had left her son Roan Bronstein asleep in her car while she enjoyed a two-hour meal at London restaurant The Ivy with a "mystery male companion." The paper then in the following month repeated the same allegation in second article.
In fact, Stone denied the allegation claiming through her lawyer Rupert Grey that she had witnesses who could confirm that Roan dined with her at The Ivy on the night in question. And so, Kirsty Howarth, a lawyer for the Daily Mail's owners, told a London judge on Thursday that the paper now accepted that the story was untrue and apologized for the distress and embarrassment it caused to Stone.
Stone, who was not present at the hearing, reportedly will donate the money she received from the newspaper to charity.

San Bernardino visit: Barack Obama Travel San Bernardino
Published: December 17, 2015
San Bernardino visit: Barack Obama Travel San Bernardino, US President Barack Obama will visit San Bernardino on Friday to visit the families of victims of a shooting spree by a radicalised couple that killed 14 people, the White House said today.
Obama will stop in San Bernardino on the way to his annual Christmas vacation with his family in Hawaii.
"While he is en route to Honolulu, the president will stop in San Bernardino, California to visit privately with the families of the victims of the terror attack in San Bernardino earlier this month," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said.
At this point of time no media access to the meeting has been planned, Earnest said.
A Pakistani-origin couple, who federal officials say were inspired by Islamist extremists, opened indiscriminate firing on December 2 at a holiday luncheon and killed 14 people.

Professional Woodworkers Sharing Business Strategies
The best custom shops are all the same
Written by David Getts Monday, 15 August 2011 00:00
As it pertains to woodworking, most of us would define a custom shop as one dealing with made-to-order goods with certain specifications. I've worked as a custom woodworker for a long time. Someone comes into my realm with a certain vision. That vision may be on a set of architectural prints or still locked in their brain waiting for extraction. In either case, it's a vision or plan that they have, not me.
This Luddite embraces the Internet age
Written by W. Patrick Edwards Monday, 18 July 2011 00:00
I have been a traditional woodworker for more than 40 years. In my lectures, I have actually had hecklers ask me if I'm a Luddite. I have always responded with a smile, "Of course! Is there a problem with that?"
There's a silver lining in your downtime
Written by David Getts Monday, 16 May 2011 00:00
When significant events like the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan or turmoil in the Middle East occurs, the media coverage is extensive. Exploiting the misfortunes of others for their own purpose is something we've come to expect from some in the media.
Feedback can fuel a worker's ambition
Written by Davis M. Woodruff Monday, 18 April 2011 00:00
In a small business - or a large one - it is important to let people know how they are doing on the job. Managers or owners often assume that employees are satisfied and know they are appreciated. This is a myth or simply a way to rationalize not providing performance feedback.
Lowering your taxes can be a family affair
Written by Mark E. Battersby Monday, 14 March 2011 00:00
Last December's extension of the Bush-era tax rates as part of the Tax Relief Act of 2010 has not, at least so far, translated into lower tax bills for many woodworking professionals, shops or businesses. The estate tax is also back, although not at record highs. Fortunately, there is an increasingly popular tax strategy that can both reduce annual tax bills and ease the future bite of estate taxes.

JK Rowling Secretary
March 26, 2012 by staff
JK Rowling Secretary, J.K Rowling was born in Chipping Sodury, July 31st 1965. Her childhood was generally happy, although she does remember getting teased because of her name, "Rowling" – She recalls often getting called "Rowling pin" by her less than ingenious school friends.
J.K. Rowling says she never really warmed to her own name, although, she does remember having a fondness for the name Potter from quite an early age. J.K.Rowling studied at a school in Gloucestershire, before moving to Chepstow, South Wales at the age of nine.
From an early age, J.K. Rowling had an ambition to be a writer. She often tried her hand at writing, although little came from her early efforts. In her own autobiography she remembers with great fondness, when her good friend Sean became the first person to give her the confidence that one day she would be able to make a very good writer.
"he was also the only person who thought I was bound to be a success at it, which meant much more to me than I ever told him at the time" (1)
Sean was also the owner of a battered old Ford Anglia, which would later appear in one of the Harry Potter series as a flying car.
After finishing school, her parents encouraged her to study French at the University of Exeter. She slightly regretted choosing French, saying she would have preferred to study English. However, it was her parents wish that she study something " more useful" than English.
After having spent a year in Paris, J.K.Rowling graduated from university and took various jobs in London. One of her favourite jobs was working for Amnesty International; the charity, which campaigns against human rights abuses throughout the world. Amnesty International, is one of the many charities, which J.K.Rowling has generously supported since she attained a new found wealth.
It was in 1990, that J.K.Rowling first conceived of the idea about Harry Potter. As she recalls, it was on a long train journey from London to Manchester when she began forming in her mind, the characters of the series. At the forefront, was a young boy, not aware that he was a wizard. The train was delayed for over four hours, but she didn't have a pen and was too shy to ask for one nothing, so nothing was written down. But she remembers being very enthusiastic, and excited about the ideas which were filling her mind.
On arriving in Manchester, she began work on writing the book immediately, although, it would take several years to come to fruition. It was also in December of 1990 that J.K.Rowling lost her mother, who died of Multiple Sclerosis. J.K.Rowling was very close to her mother, and she felt the loss deeply. Her own loss gave an added poignancy to the death of Harry Potter's mother in her book. She says her favourite scene in the Philosopher's Stone is, The Mirror of Erised, where Harry sees his parents in the mirror.
In 1991, J.K.Rowling left England to get a job as an English teacher in Portugal. It was here that she met her first husband, and together they had a child Jessica. However, after a couple of years, the couple split after a fierce argument; where by all accounts J.K.Rowling was thrown out of the house. So she returned to England in 1994; still trying to finish her first book. She was also working full time, and bringing up her daughter as a single parent. Eventually, she finished her first copy, and sent it off to various agents. She found an agent, Christopher, who spent over a year trying to get a publisher. Eventually, a quite small publisher, Bloomsbury agreed to take the book on. The editor Barry Cunningham also agreed to pay her an advance of £1500. The decision to take on the book was, in large part, due to his eight year old daughters enthusiastic reception of the first chapter (However she was advised to continue teaching as writers of children's books don't tend to get very well paid.)
Within a few weeks of publication, (1996) the book sales really started to take off. The initial print run was of only 1,000 – 500 of these went to libraries. First editions are now said to be worth up to £25,000 each. She also received a grant from the Scottish arts council, which enabled her to write full time. After the books initial success in the UK, an American company Scholastic agreed to pay a remarkable £100,000 for the rights to publish in America. In 1998, Warner Bros secured the film rights for the books, giving a seven figure sum. The films have magnified the success of the books, making Harry Potter into one of the most recognisable media products. Under the close guidance of J.K.Rowling, the films have sought to stay close to the original plot; also at J.K.Rowling's request all the actors are British.
On the 21st December 2006, J.K.Rowling finished her final book of the Harry Potter Series – "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows". The book was released in July 2007, becoming one of the fastest selling books of all time. J.K.Rowling has said the book is her favourite, and it makes her both happy and sad. She has said she will continue writing but there is little chance of continuing the Harry Potter Series. She however, may release a dictionary of things related to Hogwarts and Harry Potter, that were never published in other books.
Since the end of her Harry Potter series, she says she has finished some short stories, she also hinted on the Oprah Winfrey Show in 1st October, 2010, that an 8th book in the Harry Potter series is a possibility.

Bush briefed on "serious" Strait of Hormuz incident
American President George W. Bush on Sunday visited the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet in Bahrain amid new tensions with Iran over an incident in which the United States claims its ships were harassed in the Strait of Hormuz.
Bush visited Bahrain, which hosts the Fifth Fleet, on the second stop in his tour of Arab states aimed in part at rallying support against Iran.
Bush discussed the Strait of Hormuz incident with Vice Adm. Kevin Cosgriff, the commander of the Fifth Fleet, who made clear that his forces took it "deadly seriously," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino told reporters traveling with Bush. "All of the people in the military remember what's happened in the past such as the USS Cole," she said, according to Reuters. Seventeen sailors died in October 2000 in an attack on the USS Cole.
Perino said Cosgriff told the president that he took it very seriously when an Iranian fleet of high-speed boats on Jan. 6 charged at and threatened to blow up a three-ship U.S. Navy convoy passing near Iranian waters. The Iranian naval forces vanished as the American ship commanders were preparing to open fire.
"The media may be free to second-guess the military decision, but his (Bush's) captains are not and they take it very seriously," Perino told reporters aboard Air Force One. "They have deliberate and measured ways to engage other traffic there in the Strait of Hormuz, which they did."
Bush later on Sunday will visit the United Arab Emirates and make his "signature" speech of the trip on advancing democracy. He will also visit Saudi Arabia and Egypt this week as he tries to rally Arab support for his Israeli-Palestinian peacemaking efforts.

text: Women thinking about buying long-term care insurance might want to shop for coverage sooner than later. Major insurers are moving toward charging separate rates for women and men -- which could increase rates for women by 20 percent to 40 percent, according to the American Association for Long Term Care Insurance. (See: " IRS to increase long-term care insurance deductions.") "There's a window of opportunity to lock in lower rates, and that window is closing," association director Jesse Slome says. "Especially for single women ages 55 to 65, this is a good time to investigate pricing." Both Genworth and John Hancock, two of the industry's biggest players, have submitted state rate filings to start charging different rates for men and women, Slome says. (See: "( Buyer beware: 5 tips for buying long-term care insurance.") "Others will follow," he adds. He projects the new pricing probably will roll out this summer. Only two states, Colorado and Montana, don't allow sex-distinct pricing for long-term care insurance. However, the gender rate changes won't affect all women applying for coverage. Genworth spokesperson Tom Topinka says the gender rate changes at his company won't apply to couples, and, as a result, will impact only a small portion of women applicants at Genworth. About 80 percent of applicants for long-term care insurance at Genworth are couples, and 10 percent of applicants are individual women, he says.

Council seeks community input into service survey
Services provided to Lower Hutt residents will be the subject of an annual city-wide National Research Bureau (NRB) Survey being conducted by Hutt City Council.
Mayor of Lower Hutt Ray Wallace says a random sample of residents will be asked a wide range of questions related to services and issues.
"We are seeking an impartial view about how well
services are being delivered.
"The NRB survey provides the council with valuable information about how residents access services being provided and how those services are rated.
"The survey is also an opportunity for council to gather suggestions and comments from the community to assist in developing plans for the future," says Mayor Wallace.
NRB is an independent company specialising in research for local authorities across New Zealand.
The telephone survey will run through to Sunday 10 March.
