Country singer-songwriter Darrell Scott grew up playing with his father, Wayne, and helped his father release a debut album at age 71. They continued to collaborate in recent years.
Last month, Darrell was in Texas in between gigs when he learned that his father had died in a car accident.
"At first, I didn't know what to do," he tells Fresh Air's Terry Gross. "My first instinct was very dad-like: to go do my work, go do my gig in Dallas. And then after 30 minutes and talking to my girlfriend and daughter, I realized they knew more about what to do than I did, which was to go home."
Scott immediately took a flight from Austin to Nashville. On the plane, he wrote a poem about his father's accident. On Fresh Air, Scott reads his poem, titled "this morning," and reflects on his father's life and death. Also in the broadcast: a lengthy excerpt from a Fresh Air interview, originally aired on July 7, 2006, with both Wayne and Darrell Scott.

darrell scott
This is FRESH AIR. I'm David Bianculli of tvworthwatching.com, sitting in for Terry Gross. When Darrell Scott became successful enough with his own country music career to start his own record label, the first thing he did was pay tribute to his father, Wayne Scott. He produced an album of his father singing mostly his own songs, the songs that Darrell heard his father sing when he was growing up.
A few weeks ago, we learned some sad news, that Wayne had been killed in a car crash near his home in Corbin, Kentucky. He was 77. The email conveying the news included a poem written by Darrell about his father's death. Darrell will join us in the second half of today's show to read that poem and talk about his father.
But we'll start by listening back to an interview and performance Darrell and Wayne recorded with Terry Gross in 2006. Darrell Scott first made his mark in Nashville as a songwriter. His songs have been recorded by Garth Brooks, the Dixie Chicks, Travis Tritt, Tim McGraw, Patty Loveless and Sara Evans. At the 2002 Country Music Awards, he won an ASCAP Songwriter of the Year Award.
His own albums are more alternative country. His father Wayne spent most of his life making a living in the steel mills and installing chain-link fences. Let's start with a track from the album Darrell produced of his father Wayne singing. It's a song Wayne wrote called "It's The Whiskey That Eases the Pain."
WAYNE SCOTT: (Singing) It ain't love, it ain't money that makes this world turn around. When you hit rock bottom you still may not be on the ground. Let me tell you something in case you're walking with a cane. It ain't love, it ain't money, it's the whiskey that eases the pain.
(Singing) Eve told Adam that she had apples for sale. He bought the first one, I bought the last one, went to hell. If you're needing a crutch don't try to walk with a cane. It ain't love, it ain't money, it's the whiskey that eases the pain.
(Singing) It ain't love, it ain't money that makes this world turn around...
Darrell Scott, Wayne Scott, welcome both of you to FRESH AIR, pleasure to have you here. Darrell, when you started your record company, the first album you released was by your father. Now, you know, you're pretty well-known in the world of country music. So why did you want your first record to be your father's music?
DARRELL SCOTT: Well, I just thought his music is important. I know I am his son and all that, and there's that going for it, but I really feel that his music is important just because it's so pure and true, especially to the form of really country music or mountain kind of music.
I heard these songs all my life, and I know them backwards and forwards, and it was just time to finally get him to come and record these, you know, with a bunch of my friends down here in Nashville, or in some cases we went to him up in Kentucky, in his living room, and I just thought it was time.
GROSS: You've said that you used to think that all the songs you sang were by Hank Williams and Johnny Cash and other venerated songwriters. When did you realize a lot of those songs were his own?
SCOTT: Well, yeah, they kind of blended together because around the house he would do all of that. He'd do Johnny Cash and Hank and Merle Haggard and all that, and his own, and there as a time when I didn't know which was which. They all just blended in as what I thought were great songs. I'd say probably somewhere in my mid to late teens I started catching on that, OK, that's the Hank stuff, and there's the Johnny Cash stuff, and really starting to see his songs, which were his. And actually, it took - there was one song, which is the title of the record, "This Weary Way," I didn't know that that was not a Hank Williams song until my late 20s. It just seemed so perfectly Hank in terms of style, in terms of structure, and that may be, from my opinion, my dad's best song.
So that's one that took me an extra 10 years to figure out that it wasn't Hank's.
GROSS: Wayne Scott, why didn't you make it more clear to your sons that you were writing songs?
SCOTT: I decided to try to be a singer instead of a writer. I tried singing my songs once, and I didn't like the cold feet and cold shoulder I got singing them.
SCOTT: And he's talking about a club. I mean, we used to play clubs like when I was a teenager. So he's talking about a night playing in a bar, you know, where they come to dance and drink and play five sets a night as far as the band is concerned. He did his songs one night.
And, you know, of course they wouldn't know the songs and wondering why he's not doing, you know, the top 10 of the country music at that time. So I think that was his brush with trying out new - you know, his material out in public.
GROSS: Did you give up after one shot at it?
SCOTT: Yeah, I never done it again.
SCOTT: Now that's all I'm do and it's great. I'm glad that he talked me into doing it, and I'm - it's a new experience to me, and people actually listen to me too.
GROSS: Well, you've very generously offered to perform a duet for us. So I'd like to ask you to do a song that, Wayne Scott, you do on your CD. And it's called "Sunday with my Son," and it's song that you wrote - let me ask you to tell us what you're talking about in the song. It seems to be a song that directly comes out of your life.
SCOTT: Every word of it's the truth. That's the only way I can write. I don't have inspiration. I don't have no education, not that it's a gripe. I chose it. But my son was the youngest one, I hadn't seen him in a long time, and I had him one Sunday afternoon for three hours, and we chose - I just love nature. So we went out into the woods to gather leaves and pinecones and things like that.
And it was so beautiful, the song started going. And I had to keep turning my back to him to not let him see the old man crying, and I come up with that song. So by the next morning I had all of it, and it said exactly what I wanted it to say, and this is it.
SCOTT: Do you want to hear it now?
GROSS: I absolutely want to hear it now, yeah.
SCOTT: (Singing) As I look back on some bitter years, some things don't mean a thing, like chasing women, writing songs, riding trucks and old freight trains. When I reach back for happy thoughts of things that I have done, one thing that I remember most is a Sunday with my son.
(Singing) From the mouths of little children comes truth and honesty, and this I kept remembering as we gathered autumn leaves. When memory feeds upon past the things that I have done, one thing that I remember most is a Sunday with my son.
(Singing) I'd fill his heart with happiness the way that he fills mine, but you just can't make up 10 lost years in just three hours' time. Reflections call for happy thoughts, when it does, well, I've got one: One thing that I remember most is a Sunday with my son. From the mouths of little children comes truth and honesty, and this I kept remembering as we gathered autumn leaves. When memory feeds upon past the things that I have done, one thing that I remember most is a Sunday with my son. When memory feeds upon past the things that I have done, one thing that I remember most is a Sunday with my son. Sunday with my son, Sunday with my son.
GROSS: Oh, thank you for doing that. That's Wayne Scott singing and playing guitar and his son Darrell Scott accompanying him on banjo. And Darrell, thank you for bringing your father to our attention.
SCOTT: Absolutely, that's truly my pleasure.
GROSS: By recording him and pushing him forward like that.
SCOTT: It's truly my pleasure.
GROSS: So Darrell, you are - you have actually been able to make your career in music, both as a performer and as a songwriter. I mean, as a songwriter you've had several hits in - on the top of the Billboard country chart. Did watching your father when you were growing up, watching him perform but making a living all kinds of other ways, from working in the steel mill, I think, and...
SCOTT: Steel mills and fence construction.
GROSS: Fence construction, yeah.
SCOTT: Delivering oil and all sorts of things.
GROSS: And moving around the country. So watching him do that and just kind of playing on the side, did you think, well, me, I want to really play professionally and really make my life playing?
SCOTT: Yeah, I think I kind of knew that even as a kid. It just was - I wouldn't say easy for me, but it came naturally. It was like a natural thing for me to gravitate toward and - to play. Because I grew up in a family band. My dad, of course, played and sang and wrote, and I had older brothers who played and younger brothers.
You know, it was just the kind of - what you would do as a family, have some (unintelligible) camping or fishing or into baseball or whatever. And our thing really was to play music. And so I was kind of, you know, online for that really from the age of six, I started playing. And you know, because our family business was fence construction, which is really hard labor, out in the sun kind of thing.
I also learned, you know, at about 11 or 12 that it was better for me to stay home, and while the others were working, you know, someone needed to answer the phone and cook. We were a bunch of bachelors, basically. My brothers and I lived with my dad. And so I was the cook.
And so I found a way to get out of hard labor, actually, pretty early.
SCOTT: And I just kind of kept that up. I'm still not into hard labor.
GROSS: Wayne Scott, when your sons were born, did you look at them one by one and think this is going to be my band?
SCOTT: Yup.
SCOTT: He absolutely did.
SCOTT: They're all D's.
GROSS: Yeah, all your sons, their names all start with the letter D. Why is that?
SCOTT: Yeah, that was for that reason, and they're...
GROSS: What, so you could start a band with them?
SCOTT: Yeah, and their introduction to music was when they come home, I laid them in the bed and stood over them and played Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, played with them about an hour or so. So you wouldn't wake up when you heard me singing at 2:00 in the morning (unintelligible)...
SCOTT: We were used to it.
GROSS: Oh, that's funny.
SCOTT: Oh, they can sleep right through country music, or they can play it. Darrell, you knew he was a musician I'd say at three, and well, all the boys are professional, but Darrell's the best. I mean, he - if it has strings on it, he can play it, and at three years old it was vivid that he wouldn't be no fence-builder.
GROSS: So how did having sons whose names each started with the letter D help you in playing music or creating a band? I mean, I don't get that part.
SCOTT: I was going to name them the Two D's, the three D's, the four D's or however many D's as it took, is all gonna be D's, you know.
SCOTT: So Wayne Scott and the Four D's, the Five D's, yeah.
SCOTT: That's the way it came. And honestly, that was the reason. I was determined they'd be musicians.
BIANCULLI: Wayne and Darrell Scott, visiting with Terry Gross in 2006. More after a break. This is FRESH AIR.
BIANCULLI: Let's get back to Terry's 2006 interview with country singer-songwriter Darrell Scott and his father Wayne Scott, who died a few weeks ago in a car crash at age 77.
GROSS: Darrell, where was your mother when you were growing up?
SCOTT: Well, we started off in Northern Indiana, that was the steel mill areas, and she - we all lived together then, and I guess when I was about eight years old, they divorced and then oddly enough remarried about two years later.
SCOTT: And so we all moved to California at that point, and then they divorced again. And so she was in the area. We'd see her often, but she just wasn't living with us.
GROSS: Wayne Scott, did you know any other fathers of five who were basically raising their children as single fathers?
SCOTT: No, not in those days. When I went to California I started meeting some. There was quite a few mamas that ran away out there. Instead of the guy, it was the girl who'd do it just the same. But back here, I was the only one. The hardest part of it was learning to be the mom, but I really enjoyed the cooking and the cleaning and helping direct their music.
They were just great, beautiful kids. They weren't the troublemakers that I knew that, you know, some of my buddies had. They were really good, never arrest, never a school problem, no, it was just about perfect, you know. And besides that, they played music.
GROSS: Sounds good. Darrell, I know when you first moved to Nashville, you moved into your father's house, and Wayne Scott, where were you living if Darrell moved into your house?
SCOTT: Oh, I went back to Kentucky. And I didn't know that I was a forerunner of him, but he needed the house, and I needed to sell it, and I don't belong in Nashville. Yeah, I like it, you know, up there in the hills and my four-wheeler and those kinds of things, so...
GROSS: You grew up in Kentucky.
SCOTT: Oh yeah.
GROSS: Did your parents work on a tobacco farm?
SCOTT: Yeah.
GROSS: You left home when you were, what, 15 or 16? Why did you leave? What did you want to get away from?
SCOTT: Dad worked us six days a week, most people did because it was poor, I mean poverty. And I belonged to mom on Sunday, and she was great in church. So that gave me seven days a week, you know, and that was what I went away with. I didn't leave in anger or none of that. It was time to spread my wings. I mean, I had to go, and I'm glad they allowed me.
And I took one look in the coal mine, and I swore if I ever did coal, it's not going to be on this Earth. I'll go anywhere. I won't...
GROSS: Did you have family who worked in the mines, in the coal mines?
SCOTT: They all did, grandparents and all, and so if you live in East Kentucky, or you did in my day, and didn't want to dig coal, you went north, or you went west. So I went west and California was paradise to me. I stayed 22 years there, so...
GROSS: So building fences in California seemed like paradise compared to the coal mines.
SCOTT: Lord yeah. I wouldn't dig coal. I wouldn't.
GROSS: You know, you - Darrell Scott, you put out your father Wayne Scott's first and only album last year, when you started your record company. And Wayne Scott, has that affected your life a lot? Did you get a lot of performances after that? Like what are some of the ripple effects it's had?
SCOTT: I told him at the beginning I don't want to leave this mountain range, you know? Anything you can get me, anywhere in the Appalachian Range or this area, I would do them, and the greatest thing I've ever done, he had me do MerleFest in North Carolina. Out of everything I ever did in music, that took the cake for me. That was great.
But you know, to go anywhere else, I'm not even into that. I'm too old. I'm too tired. I'd rather be home and...
SCOTT: I know a ripple effect - it's - that he's told me a lot about, is hearing his records on the radio in his area, right?
SCOTT: Oh yeah. That's something, to hear your son, then as the years go by, here's me the same way, you know? That's - cotton don't grow like that in my holler, you know?
GROSS: Well, I want to thank you both so much for talking with us. Thank you.
SCOTT: Thank you.
SCOTT: Thank you, Terry.
BIANCULLI: Country artist Darrell Scott and his father Wayne, speaking to Terry Gross in 2006. When we return, we'll hear an interview Terry recorded last week with Darrell Scott, who will talk about his father's death and life. And we'll close out this half of the show by listening to a song Darrell Scott produced of his father Wayne singing. It's the title track of his dad's album "This Weary Way." I'm David Bianculli, and this is FRESH AIR.
BIANCULLI: This is FRESH AIR. I'm David Bianculli sitting in for Terry Gross. We're remembering Wayne Scott, father of country musician Darrell Scott. Wayne made a living in car factories, steel mills, and later by installing chain-link fences. He played music on the side and wrote country music songs all his life. His five boys grew up hearing him sing those songs, but Wayne rarely sang them in public.
When Darrell Scott became successful enough as a performer and songwriter, writing hits for Garth Brooks, the Dixie Chicks, Travis Tritt and others, he started his own record label. The first record he put out was "This Weary Way," an album of his father singing mostly his own songs. That was about six years ago, when his dad was 71. Wayne Scott died in a car crash last month near his home in Corbin, Kentucky. He was 77 years old.
We invited his son Darrell to talk about his father and to read a poem he wrote about his father's death. Terry spoke with Darrell Scott last week.
GROSS: Darrell Scott, thank you for coming back to FRESH AIR. And I just want to say how sorry I am about your father.
SCOTT: Thank you, Terry. Thank you very much. And it's good to be back talking with you and about my dad.
GROSS: Yeah. So, you know, when I read the poem that you wrote about him, I really wanted you to read it on our show.
SCOTT: Mm-hmm.
GROSS: So let me start by asking you to read it for us.
SCOTT: Yes. OK. "This Morning." My father died this morning. Car accident. His first. His last. Helicoptered to trauma center. His end begun and ended all in four hours. Eyewitnesses say he ran a red light in front of a semi, impact, and the car drove half a mile before resting inside a Wendy's on 25 E, Corbin, Knox County, Kentucky, March 2nd, 1934 to this morning, this morning, November 18, 2011. I feel certain he was listening to music.
GROSS: That's Darrell Scott reading his poem about the death of his father, Wayne Scott. Did you write it the day of his death? Why was your impulse to write something?
SCOTT: Yeah. I did. I got notice. I was - I played Austin, Texas the night before and was to play Dallas that night. And at first I didn't know what to do, just shock. And my first instinct, very Dad-like to tell you the truth, was to go do my work, you know, do my gig in Dallas. And then after, you know, 30 minutes and talking to my girlfriend and talking to my daughter, I realized they kind of knew more about what to do then I did, which was to go home. So I got a flight from Austin, you know, that very day, and so I wrote the poem on the plane from Austin to Nashville as we were on our way to Kentucky.
GROSS: Has it been hard to make peace with the fact that your father apparently ran a red light when he was hit by the semi?
SCOTT: Yeah. Well, it's just ironic. He was the most careful driver I have ever even heard about. Speed, turns, turn signals, he was just a model for that. And it was important to go to the crash site. So among other things, we were kind of handling that very next day and that weekend me and a brother and a nephew and my children in Kentucky. We went to the crash site just to kind of peace this thing together, like literally see, OK, is this where he was, you know, turning red on a - or turning right on a red and where would the semi would have been coming from, where the skid marks - all of that we retraced just trying to kind of I guess have something more real than that he was just dead or something and to try to understand what happened.
GROSS: Did it help you understand it?
SCOTT: I think he turned right on a red and it's an odd intersection. It just really, it really is, and they have a lot of accidents at that intersection, we found out. And yeah, it did help, to tell you the truth much like seeing the body, and I - I didn't want to see the body, but I had a brother who was with me who it was very important to see the body. And if he went in to see the body well, I'm right behind him. And it may sound really crazy or silly, but on some level I didn't think that he could die. I mean of course I know we're all going to die but there was something so larger than life about him, especially as a kid, that I just didn't think he could die. And so to see him in rest, it was really important, much like seeing the crash site and the crash car and all that. All that was really, really important.
GROSS: Did you have to decide what to dress them in?
SCOTT: No. They showed us him almost as a favor. I don't know what the technicality in the, you know, mortuary world is, but he was to be cremated and they just let us see him before the cremation.
GROSS: Had your father asked to be cremated?
SCOTT: Yeah. As a matter of fact, he, you know, as sort of a poor and, you know, to the bone in money that my dad was, he had actually, you know, purchased this in the past year or so - maybe even a year and a half ago or so - and I purchased the, you know, the cremation package and that was all just taken care of and he had literally nailed the instructions....
SCOTT: ...of his funeral or his ending of, you know, cremation and - to the wall in his cabin in Kentucky. So I mean it was real clear what he wanted to have happen.
GROSS: Well, that must have put your mind at rest, to know what he wanted and that you could just follow through on that.
SCOTT: Absolutely. It was it made it, you know, easy to follow, for one thing. But also just seemed perfectly Dad to - he even pick out his songs. On that same sheet of paper that was nailed to the wall was the five songs that he wanted played, what songs...
GROSS: The playlist for his memorial or for his funeral?
SCOTT: Yeah, he had it. He had it.
GROSS: What were the songs?
SCOTT: Well, let's see. It started with Ray Charles and Willie Nelson's "Seven Spanish Angels," went into "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry," Hank Williams. And then a song that I wrote with John Anderson called "World of Wonder." And then a song that he wrote - my dad wrote - that Tim O'Brien, a good friend of mine had recorded of Dad's, called "Sinner." And then it ended with a fairly contemporary country song called "Long Black Train." And that was his playlist.
GROSS: And that's what you all played?
SCOTT: We did, in the order that, you know, that he wished it to be. And again, you know, we followed that to the letter. But I'll tell you the most striking part of the whole time was his ashes before the sort of gathering for everybody, you know, at two o'clock in Pineville, Kentucky. I had called, you know, you know, the immediate family. You know, just maybe 20 of us to go to the hillside at his place where we knew that he wanted his ashes, you know, spread or put. And only one of us, and oddly enough it wasn't a brother or wife or anything like that, it was a friend from California who said, well, your dad told me he knew where he wanted, you know, that he had already dug the hole for the ashes. And we said we can't, we can't believe that.
So we go up on the hill with the ashes - just the, you know, the small core of us, and there was a rock, a pretty good size rock out of place to the side of the mountain. And we said that let's check there first, and sure enough that was the rock and underneath it was the cleanest 3-foot postal digger sized hole and we knew there he was - that's - he'd even prepared it to that degree. And...
GROSS: That was on his land?
On his land. Yeah. And this land is called, the name of the road is Scott Holler. I mean, well, the Scotts have been there for the last easily 100 years. He was born in that holler and, you know, all of his, you know, 12 brothers and sisters were born in that holler and that's where my dad ended up. You know, the last 20 years of his life was right there and he had the whole dog; he added all figured out.
Was anyone else in his car?
SCOTT: Yeah. His wife Linda was a passenger. And, you know, thankfully she was able to walk out of the crash and had just very minor, you know, more bruise and whiplash kind of things while he was helicoptered to Knoxville to I guess the nearest trauma center. And so she's there right now at Scott Holler. And a really good note on sort of what has happened is her two boys, one from New York State and one from Tennessee, and their families have come to be with her and live with her and help her and live with her there in Scott Holler in Kentucky. So that really turned out as well as anyone could hope for that under these circumstances.
GROSS: How much was she able to tell you about what happened?
SCOTT: Absolutely nothing. She has Alzheimer's and I'm not sure...
GROSS: Oh.
SCOTT: ...where she is in it. But she couldn't recall, you know, the accident. She knew there was an accident 'cause I guess all of us had talked about it and - while she was in the hospital in Corbin. But, you know, she is at that place where she almost thinks that she says that Wayne is, you know, over at my house or something like that. She kind of drifts in and out of even understanding that he's not around. And then you'll see in her face at some point of talking about it again that she does get it for a moment, and then it kind of goes away.
GROSS: Sorry.
BIANCULLI: We're listening to an interview Terry Gross recorded with singer-songwriter Darrell Scott about his father Wayne Scott, who was killed in a car crash last month near his home in Kentucky. We'll hear more after a break. This is FRESH AIR.
BIANCULLI: We're remembering Wayne Scott, the father of country musician and songwriter Darrell Scott. Wayne Scott died in a car crash last month near his home in Corbin, Kentucky. He was 77 years old.
GROSS: You know, many people have plans to do something special for their father or mother that they never actually get around to doing. One of the special things you did for your father was to record and release his first album.
SCOTT: Mm-hmm.
GROSS: And on your forthcoming album he co-wrote two of the songs and sings on one of the tracks.
SCOTT: Mm-hmm. Yes.
GROSS: I hope that gives you some comfort to know that you did that for him.
SCOTT: Oh, absolutely. It really does. Well, he was my father, obviously, and that can be a sense of, you know, just doing it for the old man kind of approach. And to tell you the truth, if that's all it was, I'm fine with that too. I have no problems with that. But I just have to say as a songwriter and artist and musician on my own, he just had an authenticity and I knew that, you know, as his son, but also as another songwriter and musician. Like man, this guy really tells it like it is. He's authentic. He doesn't even know how to begin to be commercial or promotional or anything like that.
You know, on my first record I had a song of his on my record. And then I did record, I actually recorded two albums of my dad. One hasn't been released yet and I wish I could've had the second one out in his lifetime but now that he's passed it's on the top of my list. So I've included him in my world again just because I mean he's the real deal and I - he's also my father but he was also, he's also the real deal as a singer and artist, especially of country music.
GROSS: Yeah. Yeah. How did it change your father's life to have that album released? Because we spoke just as it was released.
SCOTT: Yeah.
GROSS: You know, I never knew what, what impact did that album actually have?
SCOTT: You know, it was funny. He would, he did fight me, so to speak, about even recording it, like, you know, I'm an old man, I'm washed up. I don't do this stuff. Why do you want to record a record? And I always told him because we have to document this. We just simply have to have you recording these before we don't have that option anymore. So he would sort of fight me and then he'd get in on the session, you know, and I'd do it always in a kind of a very – a way that I knew would work for him.
Which is basically set up microphones around the living room or kitchen and bring in, you know, some of the world's greatest players who would get my dad like Guy Clark, like Tim O'Brien and Dirk Powell and Danny Thompson from London, England. And then my dad would absolutely have, you know, a ball sitting there singing with Guy Clark. It was – who was one of his heroes.
He loved hearing himself on the radio. There was a radio station up in Kentucky that played his kind of music and he would get to hear himself. One of the things that he would always do, and that crash is an example, is he would get up every morning crazy early – 4:00, 5:00 in the morning – and just drive around the mountains.
And I know he would hear himself on the radio and I know that had to be a big thing for him, to have heard himself on radio riding around those Kentucky hills.
GROSS: Well, I want to close with a song that he co-wrote with you I think when you were 16.
SCOTT: Yeah. Yeah.
GROSS: That's on your forthcoming album. The album is called "Long Way Home."
SCOTT: Mm-hmm.
GROSS: So what's the story behind writing this song?
SCOTT: Yeah.
GROSS: It's called "The Country Boy."
SCOTT: "The Country Boy" and what was really interesting is as a 16-year-old I had a relationship with my dad that had us working on songs together. So one weekend, and this was while we were living in California, my dad rented a cabin up in Big Bear Lake up in the San Bernardino Mountains. And just the two of us went up there with the sole purpose of writing songs. And so I'm 16 and he was, I guess, 41 at the time.
And, sure enough, we got up there and I had a song started that's also on this new record and he helped me finish it. And then he had a song called "The Country Boy" that he had started and I helped him finish it. And when we came back, you know, Sunday night or whatever it was, you know, we had these two songs.
And it's funny; I'm not 16 anymore – I'm, you know, 52 – it's taken me this long to record those songs. But that's the thing about this new album is it's very, very old country. It's very country music like my dad knew and like my mom knew.
GROSS: Well, your father sounds so good on this.
SCOTT: He really does, doesn't he?
GROSS: Yeah.
SCOTT: Yeah.
GROSS: So let's hear that. And I just want to say again how sorry I am and how glad I am that you were able to record him and I look forward to another album of his that you'll be releasing. I'm glad I found that out.
SCOTT: Absolutely. Mm-hmm.
GROSS: And, you know, you gave something special to the rest of us.
SCOTT: Yeah.
GROSS: By making sure that he was recorded. So thank you for that.
SCOTT: Yeah. Thank you. It's a pleasure of mine to have done that and that we even have more music to come.
GROSS: Yeah. So I appreciate talking with you again. Sorry it was for this occasion. And thank you very much.
SCOTT: Thanks, Terry.
GROSS: Okay. Be well.
SCOTT: Mm-hmm.
BIANCULLI: Terry Gross spoke with Darrell Scott last week about his father Wayne Scott who died last month at the age of 77. Darrell Scott's new CD, "Long Ride Home," features two songs he wrote with his father Wayne. Here's Darrell and Wayne Scott singing one of them, "The Country Boy."
SCOTT: (Singing) If you ever have a nickel and wished you had a dime, if you ever tried to search your soul but could not find your mind, if you ever laid your body down with someone that don't love you, the country boy has been there. That's what makes him sing the blues.
(Singing) It's not the drink you bought him. It's the not tips you gave. From the rocking of his cradle to the covering of his grave you'll never know the loneliness and sorrow he goes through. The country boy has been there. That's what makes him sing the blues.
SCOTT: (Singing) Ah, when he sings about a love gone wrong there's no tears in his eyes but the lonely low he's crying out, all the hurt he feels inside.
SCOTT: (Singing) He's singing to the broken hearts.
WAYNE AND DARREL SCOTT: (Singing) That's all that's left to do. The country boy has been there. That's what makes him sing the blues. It's not the drink you bought him...
BIANCULLI: That's Darrell Scott and his father Wayne Scott singing a song they wrote together. It's on the new Darrell Scott CD "Long Ride Home." Wayne Scott's album of his own songs produced by his son Darrell in 2005 is called "This Weary Way." Coming up, some Christmas music courtesy of singer Rebecca Kilgore. This is FRESH AIR.

Fort Lauderdale: Two Pakistani-born brothers charged in an alleged terrorism conspiracy are due in federal court for arraignment and a bail hearing.
The men arrested last week are 30-year-old Sheheryar Alam Qazi and 20-year-old Raees Alam Qazi. They are accused of conspiring to provide material support to terrorists and of attempting to obtain a weapon of mass destruction for use within the US.
The two have not yet entered pleas but family members say they are innocent.
Prosecutors are likely to reveal some details about the alleged plot during today`s hearing. Few specifics were contained in a grand jury indictment and it`s not clear how far along any plot was.
Officials have said the investigation is continuing.

SALINA — A third person has been charged in the 2013 death of a 27-year-old Salina woman.
The Salina Journal reports (http://bit.ly/1lo0DzH ) that 21-year-old Megan V. Wells is charged in Saline County with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. She's being held on $1 million bond.
Two men, 25-year-old Joel Heil and 33-year-old Dane C. DeWeese, of Abilene, have pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in the death of Kristin Tyler, who was missing for two weeks before her body was found May 9 in rural Saline County.
DeWeese's trial is set for March 24, and Heil's trial is scheduled for May 7.
A lawyer for Wells didn't immediately return a call seeking comment. Her next court appearance is scheduled for Monday.

Arrangement: Chronological
Subjects: Agriculture--United States--History, Purdue University--Faculty, Purdue University. School of Agriculture
Forms of Material: Articles
Languages: English
At Michigan Agricultural College, now Michigan State University, he received a B.S. degree in forestry in 1912 and an honorary Sc.D. in 1950.
His first professional job was with the Pennsylvania Chestnut Blight Commission in Philadelphia, where he worked with F. D. Heald who encouraged him to take graduate work in plant pathology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, under L. R. Jones. Here he received the M.S. degree in 1915 and the Ph.D. in 1918. During these years he worked intermittently with the U.S. Office of Truck Crop Diseases with G. K. Link.
His first academic position was as instructor in botany at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, 1917-18. In 1919 he moved to the department of Botany at the Agricultural Experiment Station of Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, under H. S. Jackson. He became chief of Botany and initiated the first graduate work in plant pathology there in 1929. In 1932 he joined the Department of Plant Pathology, University of California, Berkeley and Davis, where he succeeded R. E. Smith as chairman in 1936.
After he arrived in California one of his principal research projects was a study of an epidemic of the virus disease of tomatoes, lettuce, and other truck crops. Ornamental plants were also attacked and Dr. Gardner identified the cause as the spotted-wilt virus. He became an authority on this virus and helped to work out its symptomatology, epidemiology, its spread by thrips, and its eventual control. The study of this disease in the field uncovered other diseases which he encouraged his younger staff to investigate.
Max Gardner was a firm believer in the importance of field experience in the training of plant pathologists. He instituted the first formal field course in the department. Here he inspired much enthusiasm in the students for detecting and diagnosing diseases of field and truck crops and later, of all crops.
Approximately half of the course was devoted to field observations and to collecting diseased plants and half to studying and culturing the pathogens in the laboratory. He was a superb diagnostician. Growers and pathologists had a high regard for his judgment. He had a contagious enthusiasm for scientific observation. For example, he enjoyed showing others how he looked for fungus on plants.
He served on many professional committees including the Division of Biology and Agriculture of the National Research Council. He was a life member of the American Phytopathological Society, serving as vice president in 1930, president in 1931, and editor of Phytopathology from 1959 to 1964. He was author or co-author of 180 publications.
In administration he tried to follow the dictum of his superior, Dean C. B. Hutchison, who advised: "Choose good men, give them good facilities, and leave them alone."
After his retirement in 1957 he continued his professional interest by building up the separates collection in the Plant Pathology Library. This collection became one of the finest in the country. It attracted pathologists from other parts of the world who were writing books. It is one of his lasting contributions to the Department.
Max continued to aid and encourage his younger colleagues. He was noted for his kindly concern for the interests of all his friends. For example, he returned to his earlier interest in birds. He could identify them by songs, behavior, and habitat and was often asked for help in identification.
His broad interest in biology took him into the field right up to the last. One of his favorite outings was to the U.C. Botanical Garden where he went at least once a week for many years. He liked to observe seasonal changes in plants, and he collected powdery mildews (Erysiphaceae), many of which were new to the United States.
From early in his life Max Gardner took delight in collecting Indian artifacts, especially arrowheads. He had hundreds, mostly from fields in Indiana.
His wide reading extended to such works as Irving Stone's The Greek Treasure, James Westfall Thompson's books on medieval history, and Charles M. Doughty's Travels in Arabia Deserta.
In 1922 he married Margaret Briggs, a minister's daughter who was then deputy state chemist at Purdue University. They had two children, Mary Frances Schottstaedt and Murray Briggs Gardner.
Professor Gardner died of a heart attack in Berkely, October 31, 1979.

San Antonio Hub To Foster Pediatric Medical Device Development
By Iris Gonzalez, Startups San Antonio The San Antonio-Austin hub of a pediatric medical device consortium ...
InCube, VelocityTX Join Work to Develop Pediatric Medical Devices
By David Holley, Xconomy Texas San Antonio—A group of San Antonio institutions are getting involved ...
By Jim Forsyth, 1200 WOAI news
Dr. Robert S. Langer, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology engineer and one of the leading medical innovators of the modern era, will receive the Julio Palmaz Award for Innovation in Healthcare and the Biosciences from BioMed SA later this month in San Antonio, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Langer, who has helped start two dozen companies to market innovations ranging from drug delivery systems to new methods of creating human tissue, says he is 'honored' to receive an award named for Palmaz, pointing out that he and Palmaz were inducted into the Inventors Hall of Fame at the same time.
Palmaz invented the Palmaz expandable balloon stent while at the U.T. Health Science Center. The Palmaz stent is now used in 90% of operations where stents are required, and has been named one of the 'Ten Patents That Changed toe World' in the Twentieth Century by Intellectual Property International Magazine.
Langer, who has written more than 1200 articles and is the most cited engineer in history, tells 1200 WOAI news that, much like Palmaz, his vision is to determine what patients need and go out and create products that answer that need.
"One of the goals that I have is not just to make discoveries in the lab, but to get them out to the world," Langer said.
He says the modern inventor is a 'problem solver,' and he is proud of his ability not just to come up with products to meet the need, but also to work with the business end of the equation as well to get those products to the patents who need them.
"I have a vision of what I think the future will be, in kind of a broad way," he said.
Langer already has a stack of awards testifying to his influence as a medical device inventor over the past quarter century. He is a recipient of the U.S. National Medal of Science, the Priestley Medal from the American Chemical Society, and the Lemelson-MIT prize, the world's largest prize for invention for 'being one of history's most prolific inventors in medicine.'
Langer says his inventions need to be not only life saving, but also 'life improving.'
"The question to me is not only the quantity of life, but also the quality of life," he said.
Dr. Langer told 1200 WOAI news that the world is on the verge of significant breakthroughs in all types of medicine, from cancer to wound care. He said researchers of the future will look back on the coming decades as the way we now look at the last decades of the 19th century, when the framework of the mechanical and industrial innovations of the last hundred years was built with the rapid fire invention of things like the electronic light, the movie camera, the phonograph, the automobile, the telegraph, and the airplane.
The Palmaz Award ceremony will take place on Wednesday, September 18 at the Vistas at Valero. To attend contact: firstname.lastname@example.com.


text: When I was a teenager, I had a little bit of a "everything Radiohead" phase. I didn't take it as far as my friend David — a dude who regularly eBay'd Japanese import singles and once made a computer program to ensure we got tickets to Radiohead's pre-In Rainbows small theater tour — but I certainly tracked down as much domestic releases and merchandise as I could. Luckily for me, Etsy wasn't around back then to offer me well-crafted, unofficial alternatives. I'm a pretty big fan of the Etsy community — Meaghan Garvey's store is definitely one of my favorites — and part of that certainly has to do with the prevalence of weird, disjointed arts-and-craftery that nobody could have possibly asked for. So today, we present the 10 weirdest Radiohead-related items I could find on the site.

When you wake up to a layer of ice and snow on the roadways, you're faced with a dilemma: drive with ordinary tires and risk getting stuck, or fumble with difficult to install tire chains. If you opt for the chains, you're faced with freezing your fingers off while trying to wrap them around the tire and having to stop periodically to re-tension them. And you'll still be worrying about clearance on the inside of the wheel, and whether a loose chain flapping around will contact and damage your expensive alloy wheels.
You can say goodbye to those concerns and all the mounting difficulties and re-tensioning with Thule K-Summit XL Tire Chains. These chains are optimally sized for small SUVs and crossover vehicles that do not exceed 4400 lbs. (2000kg) empty weight. They're easy to install because access to the rear of the tire is unnecessary. Just wrap the K-Summit XL chain around as much of the tire as possible, and then secure it to one of the wheel lug nuts. Use the ratcheting mechanism to take up as much slack as possible out of the chain. As you drive, the patented self-centering and self-tensioning mechanism will locate the chain in the center of the tire tread.
Once installed, the K-Summit XL's special injection molded plastic plates with hard metal studs and special alloyed steel chain will bite into the slickest surface to give you all the traction you need. And you can motor along secure in the knowledge that the K-Summit XL's steel tensioning springs will ensure that your snow chains stay tight and won't contact and damage your expensive wheels. And because the K-Summit XL chain doesn't extend inward past the center of the tire tread, you won't have to be concerned about inside wheel and tire clearance. When the roads clear up, you can remove your chains, fold them up and store them in the included storage bag.
K-Summit XL Tire Chains are available to fit most popular tire sizes. They come with everything necessary for installation, including detailed instructions. Thule even provides gloves and a mat to kneel on, so you can stay as neat as possible while installing and removing your tire chains.

Economics Homework 3 - Model
Economics Homework - [1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12]
1. What is a substitute for French fries, and what is a complement for them?
- Substitutes: hash browns, fruit, baked potato, salad, etc.
- Complements: hamburger, ketchup, sauce, etc.
2. Give an example of a good that has a large price elasticity, meaning that a small decrease in price causes a big increase in demand.
- Candy bars, iPhone, most electronics, etc.
3. Explain the concept of income elasticity.
- Income elasticity measures how much the overall demand for a good increases (or decreases) due to an increase in the income of the public. For luxury goods, their income elasticity is high: demand increases a great deal when the income of the public increases. For basic necessities like toothpaste, their income elasticity is low: people need to buy it whether they have a good job or not.
4. In connection with price elasticity of demand, a nearly perfectly elastic demand curve is nearly ________ in shape, while a nearly perfectly inelastic demand curve is nearly __________ in shape.
- horizontal ... vertical. Nearly perfectly elastic demand curve means that a small change in price (graphed on the Y-axis) means a big change in quantity demanded (graphed on the X-axis), which is a nearly horizontal line. Conversely, a nearly perfectly inelastic demand curve means that a big change in price causes a small change in quantity demanded, which is a nearly vertical line with P on the Y-axis and Q on the X-axis.
5. Why is the name "necessity" given to a good that has an income elasticity of less than one, and the name "luxury" given to a good that has an income elasticity of more than one?
- Because changes in income do not have much affect on the quantity demanded for the goods we need - they are "necessary" whether we have lots of income or not. But for goods that see their demand change a great deal based on income, they are not necessary to life and thus are called "luxuries".
6. Give an example of a "normal" good, and an example of an "inferior" good.
- Electronics such as iPhones are "normal" goods. An inferior good would be used bicycles.
7. A "price ceiling" is a type of price control that sets the maximum price allowed by law for something (like a real ceiling). A "price floor" is a type of price control that sets a minimum price allowed by law for something (like a real floor). Does a price ceiling that is set below the equilibrium (free market) price cause a surplus or a shortage? Using the graph in this lecture, explain why a surplus or a shortage is created by a price ceiling.
- A price ceiling causes a shortage because it both reduces supply (fewer people want to produce the good to sell at the low price) and increases demand (more people want to buy the good at the low price).

Samsung phone recognises people, calls them
Dial and text pals from your picture gallery
Scrolling through your phone's address book to find someone to call or text can be a chore. So Samsung has launched a cameraphone that lets you text or call by tapping on their photo.
Samsung's Haptic 8M: lets you call friends from pictures
Called "Face Tagging", the feature allows you to call or text someone by clicking on a photo, snapped by the Haptic 8M's 8Mp camera. It works with almost any type of shot, even if your friend's been snapped in a group picture, matching the snap against one you've already assigned to a contact.
Facial tagging is nothing new – Samsung's 9Mp ST10 camera already sports a similar feature, allowing it to recognise the same individual within a number of pics.
The Haptic 8M's camera also supports autofocus, business card recognition and smile snapping, with images displayed on a 3.3in touch-sensitive screen.
Given the phone's name, we'd assume that the virtual keyboard is set-up for haptic feedback. An external memory card slot is built in too, and the phone includes Bluetooth.
An 8Mp camera, Bluetooth and TV reception all feature
Although there's no mention of Wi-Fi support, the Haptic 8M does support HSUPA 3G speeds of up to 5.7Mb/s. Music playback hasn't been mentioned, but Samsung said the phone can receive TV broadcasts.
Unfortunately, the Samsung Haptic 8M has only been inked for release in Korea so far – where it'll cost roughly KRW900,000 (£456/$664/€489). ®

More calls made to learn about past winter's energy price spikeBy DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 02. 2014 9:24PM
A congressional committee has joined New England senators in demanding some answers as to why natural gas and electricity prices soared during the winter that's finally winding down.
Ranking representatives on the House Energy and Commerce Committee wrote to the regional manager of the New England wholesale electricity market on March 27 with a long list of questions related to affordability and reliability.
"This year's brutally cold winter stressed the electric grid, causing electricity prices to spike across the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, and highlighted our nation's reliability vulnerabilities," they wrote. "Members are concerned these problems will only worsen as more coal plants are scheduled to shut down due to environmental regulations."
Included in the letter is a link to a staff report from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission that reveals just how stressed the electricity grids were throughout much of the country, not just in New England.
New England avoided any brownouts brought by extreme cold and high energy costs, but other regions were not so lucky. "According to FERC, January's cold weather events stressed the bulk power system with high loads, and other challenging operating conditions, including more than 50 gigawatts of forced outages," the letter states.
A report prepared by FERC staff notes that forced outages were significant in some regions during the week of Jan. 4.
"In the Southeast, Duke Energy Progress and South Carolina Electric and Gas implemented voltage reductions on Tuesday morning, Jan. 6. Several generating units also tripped in the SCE&G area, forcing the company to implement rotating outages and shed approximately 300 megawatts of firm load during the morning peak. The load was restored later in the morning," the report states.
The fact that much of the country was facing the prospect of roving brownouts during what was admittedly a severe winter worries people.
The letter from the House committee to ISO-NE and three other grid operators that together cover most of the U.S. east of the Mississippi, came just a week after a group of U.S. senators from the six New England states called on federal regulators to ensure that markets functioned properly and that prices were not increased by speculation or manipulation.
The senators, five Democrats and one Independent, focused on the possibility of foul play, while the House committee, controlled by a Republican majority, focused on the impact of EPA regulations that could force more coal-fired plants offline in the years ahead.
"We are concerned that outages and price increases could be exacerbated in the future as coal-fired power plants that utilities have relied on to meet the surge in demand are shuttered for environmental reasons," the letter from the Energy and Commerce Committee states.
The letter cites a February report from the Energy Information Administration suggesting that the number of coal-fired power plant retirements will be higher than originally anticipated, and that an estimated 60 gigawatts of coal-fired capacity will retire by 2020.
"We are specifically concerned that the loss of these critical generation facilities in such a short timeframe will make it increasingly difficult to meet electricity demands in the future, thereby putting reliability at risk and driving up electricity prices for consumers," the representatives write.
In New Hampshire, PSNH is under pressure from regulators to sell off its coal-fired plants in Bow and Portsmouth. Those plants were called upon to produce electricity throughout much of the winter, when their cost of operation was actually lower than the cost of electricity produced by natural gas.
The president of ISO-NE, Gordon van Welie, warned that things are likely to get worse before they get better, when he addressed an energy industry conference in Washington, D.C., in mid-March. The region will be in a "precarious operating position" for the next three to four years, he email@example.com

My Highlights from The Armory Show 2014
Melissa Chiu
Lin Tianmao uses installation, textile, and mixed media to transform ordinary objects into sculpture. While often described as a feminist artist, Lin chooses to eschew this label, believing it primarily to be a Western conceit. Her work incorporates materials and objects typically associated with women: she binds and encapsulates household objects like tea kettles or bowls with white thread, or pierces and reworks photographs. Lin draws inspiration from Ann Hamilton, Barbara Kruger, and Kiki Smith for her largely textile-based practice.

FISA Court Argues To Senate That It's Not A Rubber Stamp
from the sometimes-it-requests-changes dept
During the three month period from July 1, 2013 through September 30, 2013, we have observed that 24.4% of matters submitted ultimately involved substantive changes to the information provided by the government or to the authorities granted as a result of Court inquiry or action. This does not include, for example, mere typographical corrections. Although we have every reason to believe that this three month period is typical in terms of the historic rate of modifications, we will continue to collect these statistics for an additional period of time and we will inform you if those data suggest that the recent three months were anomalous.Of course, by July 1st, it's pretty clear that the FISC knew that it was going to be under substantial scrutiny concerning these efforts, and the whole "rubber stamp" discussion had already been widespread in the press. While the court insists that this is probably no different than in the past, the real question is what was it in the past... and there, the FISC admits, it has no idea. In responding to the request for historical data, it notes:
FISC [is] just beginning a practice of collecting statistics on the rate at which such modifications occur.In other words, back before there was any public scrutiny, nobody much bothered to monitor these things and make sure that the FISC wasn't just a rubber stamp -- and there's no real way to go back and check.
Also, there's the whole question of how do you define "substantial." While the FISC at least admits the bar is higher than typographical corrections, it also admits that the rating is somewhat in the eye of the beholder:
It should be noted, however, that these statistics are an attempt to measure the results of what are, typically, informal communications between the branches. Therefore, the determination of exactly when a modification is "substantial," and whether it was caused solely by the FISC's intervention, can be a judgment call.

US economy adds 96K jobs, unemployment falls to 8.1 pct.
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. employers added 96,000 jobs last month, a weak figure that could slow any momentum President Barack Obama hoped to gain from his speech to the Democratic National Convention.
The unemployment rate fell to 8.1 percent from 8.3 percent in July, but only because more people gave up looking for work. The government only counts people as unemployed if they are actively searching.
The Labor Department also says 41,000 fewer jobs were created in July and June than first estimated. The economy has added just 139,000 jobs a month since the beginning of the year, below 2011's average of 153,000.
The bleak report comes just two months before Election Day, and the economy is the top issue on most voters' minds.

Jone's atelier is on view + a can of his essential soda pop...
So many hats and only one head!
I always wonder about the days when women wore hats: did it make their hair a wreck? I know my hats do but then they tend to be utilitarian winter scruffies.ReplyDelete
Great post! I love love love hats. When I was in graduate school, whenever I felt down, I bought a hat. One was a big puff of (fake) black fur, which my mother said I shouldn't buy because I'd never wear it; but I had to have--and then had to wear it, and was rewarded (??) with much attention in the subway.ReplyDelete
Oh, I do love hats--on other people; not me, but I wish I could wear them--I would if I could. CharmingReplyDelete
Ohhh... what a great exhibit! But I LOVE your macaron hats - those would be a hit!ReplyDelete
what a gorgeous collection!
I adore hats and will see it when I get back fr LA for sure
your review is wonderful and i adore the images. i saw it at the v&a and it is a not to be missed event. at the v&a the visitors came dressed in their most favorite - hats - of course.ReplyDelete
I remember seeing pictures of the opening at the V&A and it was stupendous.
The hats!
J'adore the paintbrush and palette hat! Perhaps Beatrice (she of strange-pretzel-hat-at-the-royal-wedding fame) should acquire this one, at least it would be witty. And merci bien for the photography tips!ReplyDelete
Oh Yes! My mom wore hats and her mother made many of them.
My grandmother Nell was an amazing dressmaker.
I love to wear great big hats but can then never take them off 'cause I'll have hat hair.
I love hats. I just dont look good in them but its fun to see others wearing them. Fun post.ReplyDelete

Before I get to the roundup, be sure to check out our Eagles section for complete coverage of last night's game from the Inquirer, Daily News and philly.com.
Here's a look at what the national media are saying:
Matt Bowen of the National Football Post says he's played on a team that packed it in, during Steve Spurrier's final season in Washington, and he was reminded of that squad when he watched the Eagles last night:
Watching the Eagles lose 31-14 to the Seahawks out in Seattle tonight, I saw a team that look disinterested (minus a few players), played with poor technique and didn't execute the basic fundamentals of the game.
... A general lack of discipline of both sides of the ball. Vince Young's turnovers, missed assignments, etc. That's on Andy Reid and the players. And from my perspective, I am looking at a team that isn't responding to coaching. And when you have that disconnect between the locker room and the coaching staff, that is serious trouble.
Seahawks left tackle Russell Okung suffered a potentially serious pectoral injury with 1:57 left in last night's game. The injury occurred when Trent Cole flipped him after a run play. Okung was blocking Cole and appeared to have let up, even though he was still on Cole's back, as the run went to the other side. Cole, after the whistle blew, flipped Okung to the ground.
"I didn't see the play where they threw him down, but he got hurt," said Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, per the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. "He has a pec injury that doesn't look good right now. From what I heard, it was really an unnecessary play that didn't have to happen. You guys will probably see that. I don't know if you saw it upstairs or not. He got thrown down and hurt his right shoulder or his pec or something. We'll find out in the next day or so."
According to ESPN.com's Mike Sando, the view in the Seahawks locker room was that Cole took a cheap shot on Okung. I wonder if that play had anything to do with Carroll's decision two plays later. The Seahawks were up 31-17, had a 4th-and-6 and threw for 25 yards to tight end Zach Miller, before taking a knee to end the game.
Moving on, Dan Graziano of ESPN.com says it's simple: the Eagles are losers.
The Eagles are losers. It's as simple as that. One more loss will ensure a losing record for a team that does nothing as well as it does losing. There was absolutely no excuse for the defense to come out the way it did in this game, playing soft, missing tackles and watching Marshawn Lynch, who it knew was Seattle's only real weapon, run over it at will. There was no excuse for DeSean Jackson, who's still moping about his contract after insisting he wouldn't, to be giving up on deep routes when he's the only deep threat the team has. There was no excuse for the Eagles' penalties, for not calling timeout after a third-down stop with a minute left in the first half, for sending 12 men onto the field for a punt return and having to call a timeout when they were still in the game and looked as though they might need their timeouts. These are the careless, lazy, undisciplined acts of losing players and losing teams, and whatever the Eagles might have been or should have been, this is what they are. They are 4-8. They are the most disappointing flop of a team in the entire league. They are losers.
Former Eagle Jeremiah Trotter used Twitter to sound off on the Eagles:
This organization #Eagles have a history of making guys hate playing for them!!!!!!'
#EagleNation u can love playing for the fans an not love playing for front office at same time!
Mike Freeman of CBSSports.com says DeSean Jackson has quit:
If they try to trade him next season his value has dropped precipitously. If they give him a new deal fans will wonder why they gave a guy who quit on the team a new contract. I find it difficult to believe Eagles players trust Jackson. Same with the coaching staff.
In that game on Thursday night, Young was fighting hard. Other Eagles were fighting their asses off. Jackson, um, was not. Because Jackson has flat out quit.

By Kris Voakes | Italian Football Writer
On November 11, 2012, AC Milan were humbled 3-1 at home to Fiorentina and slumped to 13th place in Serie A, a full 12 points behind third-placed Napoli. They were just about keeping their heads above water in the Champions League, with a draw against Malaga having put them within one win of progression to the last 16, but Massimiliano Allegri was under huge pressure to turn things around, and quickly.
Fourteen weeks on, Milan set themselves up for Wednesday's visit of Barcelona by reaching the top three for the first time this season with a 2-1 win over Parma on Friday night. For a side who were struggling so badly so recently, it has been quite the turnaround. Sure, other results this weekend could see them slip back down to fifth by the time the Blaugrana arrive in town, but the very fact they are sitting in a Champions League spot right now deserves huge credit.
Mario Balotelli was once again their match winner. For the third straight game since he first donned his beloved red and black stripes, the Italy striker found the scoresheet, and it was the second successive home match in which he struck the winner. His dipping, curling free kick over the Parma wall and beyond the dive of Nicola Pavarini was worthy of any highlight reel, with Nicola Sansone's injury-time goal making it a doubly important strike.
Now they just have to show they can continue their rise without Balotelli. Since the controversial frontman's arrival from Manchester City, no other Milan player has found the net, but it must also be remembered that the Rossoneri renaissance started long before his January transfer.
|MATCH FACTS | Milan 2-1 Parma
That stat appeared something of an anomaly at times against Parma though, as Jonathan Biabiany, Amauri and Gabriel Paletta all ghosted into space in Milan's defensive third early on. More technically-gifted players may have punished them, and they will face plenty of those on Wednesday, so there is a definite need to ensure that those gaps are squeezed more quickly against Barcelona.
There were also reasonable spells of concerted pressure from the Ducali during the first half in particular, with Roberto Donadoni doing a decent job of promoting his cause for Allegri's job. His president, Tommaso Ghirardi has claimed in recent days that 'the Don' will be Milan coach "within two years", and his improvement of a poor Parma side certainly doesn't harm his CV. But for now, Allegri is seemingly doing enough to win over some of his doubters.
A massive bonus for the current boss right now is that confidence is at a season high. Allegri may still have a lot to work on with his side in terms of situational decision-making in possession and collective marking, but he has ensured that Milan head into the clash with Barcelona with a fighting chance, which would have been unthinkable three months ago.
Having to take on the world's greatest team without their new-found talisman is a huge negative, but there are plenty of positives for Serie A's hottest side to boast right now, and, if they can carry their league form into Wednesday's fixture, Barcelona could yet have a real game on their hands.

Pelvic Washings
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
A very good friend and co-worker has just been diagnosed with Endometrial Cancer. She underwent a complete hysterectomy 2 weeks ago. At that time the doctor told us that everything looked "good", but that we had to wait for the pathology reports. Early reports showed no cancer, nothing in lympnodes, but now pathology reports that the "washings" taken from the abdominal cavity show cancer. What does this mean?
Christina S. Chu, MD, Assistant Professor of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
You have asked a difficult question. "Washings" are used to detect microscopic cancer cells that may be floating around in the abdominal cavity outside of the uterus. If your friend's washings are positive, but all other tests show that disease is limited to the uterus (no spread to lymph nodes), there are several options that should be discussed with the oncologist. First of all, if your friend has certain risk factors such as a high grade tumor, or deep invasion of the tumor into the wall of the uterus, she may be counseled to undergo radiation therapy to the pelvis. This would be true whether the washings were positive or not.
In the case of positive washings and cancer confined to the uterus, the studies are unclear as to whether these patients should have additional treatment just for the positive washings. Some treatments that have been tried have included intraperitoneal radiation with radioactive phosphorus, progestin therapy (like Provera or Megace), whole-abdominal radiation, or no treatment. There is currently no research to support a definite answer; so all options should be discussed carefully with your doctor.

Apple Didn't Even Announce the Most Useful New iOS 8 Feature
It sucks when your phone dies. That's why we're all battery whisperers. We try to commune with our power supplies and use little tricks to eek out some extra tweets and email responses whenever we can.
Now a small feature in Apple's upcoming iOS 8 release will help us fight the good fight.
A new menu option in Settings called Battery Usage lets you see what percentage of your battery power is used by each app you run. It's an option that's already been in Android for a while, so iOS users should be relieved that it's finally showing up. If your battery is getting old and finicky, battery usage should help you figure out which apps to avoid or delete altogether if you can. It's a little tweak, but a big quality of life improvement.
Future Tense is a partnership of Slate, New America, and Arizona State University.

The "Lego Batman" games have always put a lighter spin on a character that's traditionally as grim and gritty as they come, but the upcoming third game in the series, "Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham" will add a bit of retro fun. Holy nostalgia, Batman!
Players of the game, which will be available later this year for all systems, will get to play a level of the 1960s "Batman" series, with Adam West himself providing the voice of Batman. Additionally, gamers will also be able to play as the entire '60s cast, including Robin, the Boy Wonder. They're just a few of the 150 playable characters in the new game.
And in case you're wondering, yes, Lego Batman will dance the Batusi.
Other playable characters include familiar faces from the Justice League and the Legion of Doom.
"Lego Batman 3" director Arthur Parsons, of the game's developer, Traveller's Tales, joined several members of the vocal cast, including Troy Baker, who plays Batman, Travis Willingham (Superman), Laura Bailey (Wonder Woman), Dee Bradley Baker (Brainiac), Josh Keaton (Green Lantern), Scott Porter (Aquaman) and West himself, who came out to a standing ovation.
While the other members of the panel were in awe of the iconic actor from their childhoods, West tried to keep it humble.
"I'm nothing more than a curiosity," he said. "I'm a senior superhero now."
Though when Baker grabbed a selfie with West while on the panel, the elder actor snapped, "Whoa, that's 85 bucks!"
The new game promises to bring players to levels they've never played in a "Batman" game, including into space and several alien planets, all while combating the genius alien, Brainiac.
Baker said voicing Brainiac was like voicing Daffy Duck. "Though I had to remove the lisp," he said.
Players will also be thrilled to discover that Adam West himself is a playable character in the game.
"I thought [the end of the '60s 'Batman' series] would be the end of me," West marveled. "And it was for a few years. But then things started to break a bit."
Now, he's basking in the love on stage.
"I'm the luckiest actor in the world," he said.
"Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham" is due out this fall for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, 3DS, Vita and PC.
