Your team is an up and comer that the media loved to talk about. With the potential that your team has, and the characters that like to talk LOL, I think HBO will probably contact you guys first and try to secure the deal.
Would you guys welcome the idea?

mikey287 wrote:He got hurt last year and this year I think. So he's been a little banged up. When Jamison was hurt, Huggins stepped in and carried the ball 41 times a few weeks ago. So he can play, it's just that Jamison has been really good in his own right. Huggins is about as good of a recruit as we've captured and he seems to be doing and saying all the right things and just waiting for his opportunity. Which should come soon enough. If we had two RBs that could carry it 30 times each, we wouldn't leave games up to our brutal QB (the venerable Super Nova) - tongue-in-cheek, but I'm still sore after yesterday's brutal loss.
So, Huggins is firmly the #2, but there's no reason to take the ball out of Jamison's hands...he gets like 25-30 touches per game and gets like 5 yards per touch. I have to imagine that ranks highly in the Big East, just at face value. So it's not like Huggins is the #2 to some schlub...Huggins is a year younger, so he'll get his time. Also, with RBs running back depth, players seem to just disappear and re-appear now and again. Mason Robinson, for instance, I recall being a running back for us a few years ago...then he became a defensive back after losing his RB spot and now he seems to mostly return punts...Kordell Young is another one that seemed to show a couple flashes and then poof...gone. So who knows...maybe one of them is our starting QB next year...

On Sunday, Nov. 25, the Dover Symphony Orchestra held a concert at Dover Downs that was well attended by approximately 700 people. DSO President Nancy Pikulik spoke with the Dover Post about the success of that show, pulling in a younger crowd and what to expect from the symphony next year.
As locals and out-of-towners alike were finishing off Thanksgiving leftovers on Sunday, Nov. 25, the Dover Symphony Orchestra marked the beginning of the Christmas season with a concert featuring a classical take on Christmas tunes at Dover Downs Hotel and Casino.
However, unlike other Symphony performances, DSO's "Ringing in the Holiday Season" was well attended by approximately 700 people, with many telling the symphony's president and personnel manager Nancy Pikulik that they were already looking forward to next year.
Pikulik took time to talk with the Dover Post about the success of the holiday show, pulling in a younger crowd and what the DSO is looking to for 2013.
Q Your most recent concert saw 700 people. How many do you normally see?
A Normally, we see about 400 people so this was a nice attendance boost for us. I'm also in the symphony and I can't tell you how excited I was to see so many smiling faces in the audience.
Q For the people who weren't able to attend, what did they miss?
A For starters, they missed a really good time that was family friendly and full of Christmas spirit. We played a lot of Christmas tunes, of course, but we also had some great audience participation moments, where people were singing along and clapping. I couldn't help myself, my eyes welled up a bit seeing how much people were enjoying it.Then, during intermission and after the show, as I walked around, people came up to me raving about the 'beautiful experience' they were having. One person in particular said to me that 'if this doesn't put you into the spirit of the holidays, nothing would!"
Q So, why do you think this show was so successful?
A Well, for starters, Delaware Hospice and Dover Downs Hotel and Casino, where the concert was performed did an excellent job with advertising and getting the word out. There were actually quite a few out-of-towners there, thanks to some adversting done with the bus tours that come to Dover Downs. But, I also think that people just love holiday music, from hearing old favorites to finding new ones.
Q That's interesting that you saw so many more out-of-towners than locals. Why do you think that is?
A I'm not sure exactly but it does line up with what we learned about the arts community's endeavors earlier this year at the 'Arts Mean Business' presentation. There we learned that most of the dollars spent on entertainment do actually come from the non-residents. And, of course, like other organizations, we'd love to see more locals.
Q Does the DSO have any plans to make that happen?
A Well, first let me say that we're always open to suggestions. Our mission, of course, is to bring classical music to people. But, we're always looking for new ways to engage more people and younger people. Personally, I would love to see more young adults and more kids. But, I understand that those age groups might not see or understand how the music fits in with their lives. But, it does. Classical music shows up in movies and commercials and people know and recognize more than they realize. Most importantly, there's just nothing like a live music experience with the symphony.
Q Why is that?
A Because, when you are new to classical music and you see the symphony live, what you hear makes more sense for later. You recognize the trumpets, the violins and all the pieces and parts that make the number complete. And, that makes it all the more exciting, too, I think.
Q So, what's coming up next for the DSO?
A Well, in February, we will have our spring concert, which will feature light classical music with a romantic theme. Just in time for Valentine's Day, right? The show will feature lots of recognizable songs like "Romeo and Juliet," "Strauss Waltzes," "Ravel's Bolero," and the love scene for "Cinema Paradiso." It won't actually be on Valentine's Day, though. It will actually be two days later on Saturday, Feb. 16 at 7p.m. at Calvery Assembly of God.

Arrhythmias are uncoordinated or irregular contractions of the heart muscle caused by a problem in the electrical system of the heart. Some arrhythmias are benign and will not affect your overall health or cause symptoms. Others may be more serious and require treatment.
It may help to first understand how the heart should work. The heart is made up of 4 chambers:
- Two upper chambers (atria/atrium) —Receive blood from the body and empty the blood to the lower chambers.
- Two lower chambers (ventricles) —Receive blood from the upper chambers and pump blood to the lungs or out to the body. The left ventricle is the strongest muscle/chamber in the heart and is responsible for pumping the blood to the entire body.
The contraction of these 4 chambers needs to be coordinated to be able to efficiently move blood throughout the body. The atria contract first to push blood into and help fill the ventricles. Then the ventricles contract to push blood to the body or lungs. The nerves of the heart stimulate and coordinate the heart muscles in an organized manner:
- An electrical signal begins in a nerve bundle, in the atria, called the sinoatrial (SA) node. The SA node, also known as the pacemaker of the heart, stimulates the heart to beat at 60-100 times per minute.
- The SA node sends electrical signals to the muscles of the atria which makes them contract. At the same time, the SA node sends the signal down the heart through a nerve pathway.
- The signal travels from the SA node to the atrioventricular (AV) node, which sits between the ventricles and the atria. The signal slows here so that the ventricles have time to fill.
- The AV node then sends signals to the muscles of the ventricles to make them contract.
Arrhythmias may affect the timing of the contractions between the atria and ventricles, or the speed and strength of contractions of the 4 different chambers. This may cause:
- Bradycardia —Heartbeat less that 60 beats per minute.
- Tachycardia —Heartbeat more than 100 beats per minute. Temporary tachycardia is a normal reaction to physical activity to help supply more oxygen to working muscles. Tachycardia that is not in response to physical activity can cause problems or be a sign of problems.
- Extra beats
- Skipped beats

It has a flexible plug-in system and it is designed to run well on most graphics hardware. Okay, this description isn't really meaningful. In a nutshell, Compiz is a compositing manager, which means that it enhances the overall user interaction by adding fancy effects to your windows, from drop shadows to awesome desktop effects like the Desktop Cube or the Expo view. Compiz can also be a window manager, which means that it is the software between you and your desktop apps. It enables you to move or resize windows, to switch workspaces, to switch windows easily (using alt-tab or so), and so on."
Installing Compiz
To install Compiz, you must first emerge it:
# emerge compiz compiz-fusion emerald hicolor-icon-theme
As a standalone window manager
For Compiz to run as a standalone window manager, you must first change your ~.xinitrc file:
exec compiz ccp & emerald --replace & fusion-icon & gnome-terminal & conky
The lines after the first two can be any applications that you would like to launch when the X.org server starts.
Now, with compiz installed and ready to run, try starting it:
$ xinit
Configuring Compiz
If it starts successfully, you will be greeted with a black screen and whatever programs you added to your ~/.xinitrc after line two. At this point, you may be wondering "Why are there no decorations around my windows?" There are no decorations because Compiz comes configured to not decorate windows. In your terminal that was launched from the ~/.xinitrc file, type in:
$ ccsm
Below is a table which contains information on the avialable compiz plugins.
|3D Windows
|Elevates windows while the desktop cube is active
|ADD Helper
|Helps with concentration -- dims all but the active window
|Allows you to use various animations as window effects
|Available animations include: Curved fold, horizontal fold, dream, fade, glide 1, glide 2, magic lamp, sidekick, vacuum, wave, and zoom.
|Animations Add-On
Don't like the default window decorations? You can modify the window decorations to your liking by typing:
$ emerald-theme-manager
Emerald offers several different engines for theming:
- zootreeves: Evolved from the legacy engine
- truglass: Glassy effects for your windows
- vrunner: Multiple gradients with somewhat glassy features too
- legacy: Based on original gnome-window-decorator
- line: Based on original legacy
- pixmap: Everything done with customizable pixmaps!
- oxygen: Designed to be vista-ish in nature

NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez is allowed to play. Now we'll find out if he can anymore. Coming off his second hip surgery in four years, the 38-year-old third baseman finally made his season debut Monday night for the New York Yankees — hours after he was suspended through 2014 by Major League Baseball as part of the Biogenesis drug investigation.
NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez is allowed to play. Now we'll find out if he can anymore.
Coming off his second hip surgery in four years, the 38-year-old third baseman finally made his season debut Monday night for the New York Yankees — hours after he was suspended through 2014 by Major League Baseball as part of the Biogenesis drug investigation.
The embattled slugger promised to appeal his penalty, which probably keeps him in pinstripes for the rest of this year. After that, who knows if he'll ever take the field again?
So he's not banned yet, but maybe he's all but finished. At least as A-Rod the All-Star.
"I just hope that there's a happy ending there somewhere," he said.
Time will tell.
Time, and a steady dose of big league pitching. Time, and the daily grind of a major league schedule. Time, and the way his broken-down body rebounds after sliding into second or diving for a grounder.
Four months on the sidelines is a long stretch for any player, especially one so late in his career. Not to mention, Rodriguez wasn't exactly tearing it up before his latest injury.
He went 3 for 25 (.120) without an RBI in the 2012 playoffs and wound up getting benched. Against right-handers, he was 0 for 18 with 12 strikeouts.
"The last time I was on the field it wasn't pretty," Rodriguez said. "I was horrific."
The three-time MVP blooped a single to left field in his first at-bat of the season Monday night, but wasn't much help otherwise. Booed loudly all night in Chicago, he went 1 for 4 with two flyouts and took a called third strike his final time up.
He made all his plays in the field, but acknowledged feeling rusty. His bat looked a little slow, though he said he felt pretty good up there.
Meanwhile, the last-place White Sox snapped a 10-game losing streak with an 8-1 victory over New York.
"It's been crazy, but from this point on I'm going to do my very best to focus on baseball," said Rodriguez, who strained his quadriceps during a minor league rehab stint, delaying his return for two weeks. "It's good to get the first one behind me."
Fading fast in a crowded playoff chase, the aging Yankees are desperate for power. Their third basemen have been among the most inept in the majors all season. They need a genuine boost right now — not a question mark in the middle of the lineup.
On the same day Rodriguez was suspended, shortstop Derek Jeter went back on the disabled list with a strained right calf, the latest leg injury in his lost season. Old reliable Andy Pettitte got rocked and couldn't make it through the third inning.
It won't be easy for A-Rod, either.
Boos and "Steroids!" chants are sure to follow wherever he goes, even at home in the Bronx. And it will take an awful lot of production to justify his $28 million salary this season.
"It's not the first time he's gotten a bad reaction. It's not surprising," Jeter said after Monday's game. "I'm sure he's happy to be out there, finally."
Just last Friday, Rodriguez hinted that the Yankees did not want him back and were trying to avoid paying him the $94.5 million they still owe him through 2017. The team responded Monday with a statement:
"We are compelled to address certain reckless and false allegations concerning the Yankees' role in this matter," the club said. "The New York Yankees in no way instituted and/or assisted MLB in the direction of this investigation; or used the investigation as an attempt to avoid its responsibilities under a player contract; or did its medical staff fail to provide the appropriate standard of care to Alex Rodriguez."

Arizona becomes a territory
February 24, 1863
Arizona becomes a territory
Most of what is now Arizona came into the possession of the US in 1848 after the Mexican-American War. In 1850, it became part of the Territory of New Mexico, which also included the southern parts of Colorado, Nevada, and Utah. More land was added in 1854 when the Gadsden Treaty was signed. In 1858, there was a request for the creation of an Arizona teritory. The Civil War did nothing to help the process as both sides wanted Arizona. Finally, however, Congress approved the creation of the Territory of Arizona and President Abraham Lincoln signed the bill on February 24, 1863.

Listen to Sam Malone again here!
Sam Malone is a morning radio institution in Houston. He's the voice you've had a cup of coffee with on 104.1 KRBE or 96.5 KHMX on the way to work for more than 15 years!
I caught up with Malone since he left Mix 96.5 KHMX to talk about if he'll ever hit the Houston airwaves again, why he left 104.1 KRBE and if he and Maria Todd are on speaking terms.
Mike McGuff: So first of all, everyone's going to want to know - what happened at Mix 96.5 KHMX? Why did you leave the morning show?
Sam Malone: Well, the station was put up for a forced sale. It was forcibly sold by (requirements of) the DOJ (Department of Justice). It demanded Clear Channel, say if you want this leveraged buyout to go through, you've got to divest of six stations around the country. Because Bain Capital and Thomas H Lee Partners (private equity firm that had agreed to acquire parts of Clear Channel) have interests in stations already in the market (Houston) so they already have a piece of, like my old station, 104. So, that's why they designated stations that must be sold. So, when stations didn't sell, they got into a little panic mode.
As they told me, it was a business decision, but you could tell it was like, OK, get rid of Sam; get rid of the contract. Now, it never sold. It ended up being swapped .
Mike: But, at this point, we don't know what's going to happen with KHMX and KLOL. I mean, the new owners, CBS, says it's not going to change formats, but of course anything can happen at this point.
Sam: Oh God, yeah, anything. People always say, "We're not going to make any changes right now. We're happy with what we have."
I was at one station that was a Top 40 station. First got started in '88, and it was great. We had a downfall. Everything was OK, and boom, we went oldies [format]. I mean, I think when I left Friday, it was a Top 40 and Monday it was the oldies station.
Mike: Is that the scary thing about the radio industry, because there is a lot of uncertainty?
Sam: I think, the main thing scary about the radio industry, just a lot of people, they're very nervous. A lot of mangers get very nervous, and a lot of managers make very quick decisions on what they think they're going to need for today or tomorrow.
That oldies station crashed. And if you read the trades and you look at all the format changes, you'll see a lot of those, they'll change again. They'll change again. So they might try this format du jour, that format. You know, they might go to this whatever the format, like the jammin' format was real hot for a while and then that's gone.
There's a lot of uncertainties in accounting, a lot of uncertainties in sales, computer sales, a lot of uncertainties in retail, you know, automotive. But, nobody ever walks in and changes a Chevrolet into a plane. You know what I'm saying? Let's make planes today!
Mike: So, why weren't you able to say goodbye?
Sam: I don't know. I have no idea. I mean, literally, I remember doing a show, I think it was a Thursday, and I talked to Mark Steines. He was an old friend from Entertainment Tonight and then one of the actors from Grey's Anatomy, the new guy, the army major.
And I remember walking out of the studio and our operations manager was like, "Can we talk to you?" and I'm like, "Yeah, whatever." I was saying what's it about and he said, "Today's your last day. We're letting you go." And I remember saying, "OK, well, I'm going to say goodbye to coworkers," because we've had a wonderful relationship, but they're like, "No."
"Why not?"
"We have to leave now."
I'm like, "Well, I'm going to say goodbye to my crew."
"No, you have to leave now."
I'm like, "Well, I'll just go back to my office and email. I'll just leave."
"No, we've already locked you out."
And I'm like, "Well, I happen to have a beautiful big office with lots of stuff in it, so what about that?" "We'll have the movers ship it to your house." I'm like, "Well, what do I do?" They said, "Leave." And they walked me out. They had a guy walk me out to my car. And I'm like, "Do I look like a nut bag or something?"
Mike: What is that like? I mean, you're standing there hearing this. I guess, you're just kind of stunned at that point, right?
Sam: Well, you're stunned, but I made a lot of money for this station. We just hit phenomenally. We hit number one. The August book came out, and 30 days earlier I was like, "I'm number one in 18-49 women and number two in 25-54 women."
That's really good. I was surprised, I was like, "What? What?" So I mean, and I have a wonderful relationship, even with the operations manager, the guy who fired me. I was like, "Are you sure? All right. Well, I'll see you later. I'll talk to you later." Because he's such a nice guy.
I was really shocked to be let go and not to be able to say goodbye. I don't know. I don't get it. I don't know. And then they wiped me off the website right away, like 9:05 or 9:10, whatever, early that morning, like I didn't exist.
Mike: So, that day, it was already done?
Sam: It was already pre-planned, you know, whatever. And I remember people were like, "Oh, my God. You're off the website." And it's almost like the radio station was like, "Well, he never worked here. We have no idea who he is."
I don't know. I would let people say goodbye. I think it would have been a great cume builder to have a sponsored goodbye tour, introduce the new morning show.
I did that in Buffalo when I left. We had a 30 day goodbye thing, and it was tons of media and just sold the hell out of it. And then the new morning guy came on my show on the last day and I welcomed him. His name was Bruce. I said, "Good luck. I'm going to Houston." And it was TV cameras, members of the Buffalo Bills. It was just a good vibe.
And the listeners were appreciative because it's like, "Hey, I'm going now, but you're taking over." And here in Houston, it was like, "We don't know who he is. He doesn't exist. He's off the web page."
Mike: So, you've worked in Buffalo. Where else have you worked?
Sam: I started in Philadelphia for three years, and then went to Sarasota Park for three years. And then Buffalo for three years. And then here, it was 16 years.
Mike: For people who really don't know much about radio…that is an incredibly long time for someone to be in one city.
Sam: I think it's the record, at least in Houston. It's impossible to stay. I mean, we jokingly sat down with one of the trades and counted all the morning shows when I got here in '93. And the list was long. And there were names that we couldn't like, sometimes we would remember. Oh yeah, I remember! Oh, wait. So, sixteen years is a long time. It's going to be longer.
Mike: What do you owe that? How have you managed to survive?
Sam: I don't know. Lack of competition. You know, the one thing is we've never had really dominant, huge morning shows in this town, which is why I came here. You know, I'm not that great, it's just that nobody else was really that good.
And the other thing is I love the city. I really do. I mean, I love Houston. And when people get here, they're like they are the next market. Well. it's just a stopping ground, "I'll be two or three years in Houston, then I'll be in New York or L.A."
And I just love the city. So, when you love it and you come on the air and you talk about the Rockets or the Texans or the mayor or the news anchor or people are doing goofy things, it's like you have a personal interest. I think, the people pick up that you have an interest in it, and they dig it, you know?
Mike: What do you like about the city?
Sam: It's so damn friendly. My hometown is Philadelphia and everyone is just mean. I mean, when you are driving, people are expressing themselves if they don't like your driving. Nobody looks at you in the elevator.
In Houston, they're just, "Hey! How are you doing?" You get on the elevator, "How are you doing? What floor?" You know, it's just a friendly city. It's just a great place to raise your kid and live.
Mike: Another station obviously that everyone associates you with is 104 KRBE. What made you leave there? Because that was obviously an incredibly successful run.
Sam: [laughs] It was. It was 12 years. And Clear Channel, as they told me, their line was, "We're just tired of getting beat by you. Would you just come work for us?" That's pretty much how they laid it out. Guy named Ken Charles.
Mike: So, that's a great compliment then.
Sam: Yeah, it was. So, they just made an offer that was just ridiculous. And I went to KRBE and I said, "My contract's up. You have right of first refusal. Here is the offer from Clear Channel, in writing." And they just said, "We cannot match this." So, I said, "See ya!" [laughs]
Mike: Speaking of that, where did your classic trademark line come from? How did that happen? Where did the "See ya" come from?
Sam: That is high school. That's Philadelphia high school talk. Tough guys don't ever say, "Take care. Look forward to going out and doing it again tomorrow for more beer and broads." It was always, "See ya!" And then you punch the guy when you say it. So, when we'd be out, you don't say, "Good-bye," because that's not very macho. It was always, "See ya!" And you'd just punch the person in the shoulder. Well, obviously, I can't walk around punching people. And that just became the way. In Philly, "Good-bye"? [laughs] I couldn't do that.
Mike: It's kind of like, I guess, the "howdy" here, right?
Sam: Howdy. Right. And if somebody went up north and did a morning show, they'd, "Howdy? Where the hell did you pick that up, redneck?"
Mike: How much of Philadelphia is still in you? I mean, how much of what we see of the Sam Malone on air do we kind of attribute to growing up in Philadelphia?
Sam: A lot. Philly, I grew up in a very blue-collar, tough neighborhood, so I really don't take a lot of gruff from people. I hang up on bad interviews. I hung up on Heath Ledger, hung up on Carmen Electra. I don't really have patience for bad manners and bad attitude. I can fly back to Philly and get that. So, a lot of times in radio, hosts are afraid and get uncomfortable when a guest sucks. It's like, "OK. You've got to go." So, as a Philly guy, I have no problem, [laughs] absolutely no problem, with Heath Ledger: "Dude, you're out. You're done. We're done with you. Good-bye."
Mike: What was he doing?
Sam: He was being a real jerk in an interview. I asked him about... He was dating, I think, Heather Graham at the time, and he goes, "I don't want to talk about Heather Graham." He says, "I'm here to plug my movie [he says in Australian accent]." Well, I said, "Good-bye" and hung up. And I remember Carmen Electra had that same attitude. So, being from Philly, you just don't have a lot of patience for bad manners, especially from a guest. That's the other thing. I throw people out of the studio. I mean, I have no problem with that. The sidekick, she's always like, "Oh my God!" [laughs] Get out. Get out of the studio. You're done.
Mike: It makes great radio, right?
Sam: [laughs] I always left the mike on when I throw people out of the studio. [laughs] Just in case.
Mike: [laughs] What's the audience reaction like when you kick those big stars off?
Sam: OK, how's this? When Heath Ledger died, the next morning I remember coming on the air, right? For like an hour, all people talked about was, "I remember when you hung up on Heath Ledger." So, for an hour, "I remember..." And I don't know if it's one of those things. I don't know if you actually heard it or heard about it, but it lasted - I mean, gosh, that was years ago, and he just passed away this past year. And the other thing is, people agree. They were like, "He was rude. And we're glad that you got him off the show because we don't want our children to get that kind of bad attitude."
I always feel, if you're coming on my show, you're selling something. Nobody goes on Letterman because they like Dave. They go on because they have a new movie, TV, whatever. You should at least be gracious, like, "Thanks for the exposure to come on your show and plug my movie or my whatever." That's when the Philly comes out of me. That's when it gets rowdy.
Mike: There are some morning shows, like in Houston, people would know Stevens and Pruett were kind of the shock jocks. But, you've been on top-40 stations, family stations. How much do you think about that when you're putting on a show? I mean, obviously, you do have, probably, kids in the car listening with mom or dad. How much does that play a part when you're planning the show?
Sam: Well, two things my wife has said, because we were talking about Howard Stern once, and I think he had signed, at that point, like a $20-million-a-year deal. This was a while back. And I said, "Wouldn't that be cool?" And she said, "No, I would never want you to do that, because I never want to be embarrassed by what you do." Right? And all the stuff. Obviously, it really led to a very strong marriage that he had with Alison (Stern's ex-wife).
Mike: Yeah. Right. [laughs]
Sam: And so she always said that: "Don't ever embarrass me."
And the other thing is now I'm a daddy. So my little boy's been in the car for years. He calls the show all the time. I know he's listening. You just can't say things that are blue or overly obvious. If you want to make a double entendre remark and you can mask it well enough that educated people can pick up on it and not kids, right? It'd be like if you have a kid and he's in a car and he's listening to some schmuck DJ saying, and your kid goes, "Daddy, what does that mean?" You're like, "Oh!"
That's what made us number one with women in the morning in Houston is by just being funny. But be as clean as possible. And if there's anything that may be questionable, let the guests say it. Let the guest be the one who says whatever and you go, "Hey, hey, hey. Family show." That's what I used to say all the time. [laughs] It's a family show. [laughs]
Mike: What makes a good host? Why do people listen to one person over another?
Sam: The research has found that the reason people listen is because they can relate quickly to that person. There's a million disc jockeys - well, maybe half a million after next week. [laughs] You're in a car, and a woman's in a car, and they listen. They like the voice, but then like, "Oh, OK. They're talking about things like, 'Hey, I was shopping at the mall, and, oh, yeah! I remember that person-in-line story."
And it's just being relatable. It's just telling stories that everyone can relate to, as often as possible. Sometimes they'll never be relatable, but they're enjoyable stories. Regis on "Regis and Kelly" will tell a story about he lives in a high-rise with Donald Trump. Nobody can relate, but it's an enjoyable story.
But, for the most part, Regis is relating. So, I always try to relate. And once in a while, you're going to tell a story about you and Elton John, or you're at the White House, or you on a private jet with somebody, and you'll just share it so they can enjoy the story.
Mike: How much of the show is spontaneous, and how much is planned out? Because I think people wouldn't realize how much you put into the show outside of the time you're on the air. It's not like you just kind of walk in and go.
Sam: No. You can't. There's a guy I worked with, though in Philly [laughs] who tried it. It didn't last.
The show, I always say - this is my opinion - is about 70 percent planned from the day before. Right? Like I'm here at the gym. I have my text, and I'm watching ESPN, and I'm like, "Oh, my God. Get Kris Brown on. He's going to kick. Make sure the Mayor is on and call Mary Hart" - because you're constantly thinking, but you walk in and Ken Lay dies. [slaps hand on table]
So, you have to be ready to throw out everything. That 70% should be what I call in the can. All morning I'll be on the phone with the producer the whole time - you know, the kids at the station. It's this and that. Do we have the big sound bite from Britney Spears? Is the - whatever - survey ready? Do we have the video to put up on the web? [snaps fingers]. It's impossible to really walk in and do four hours. You can do it by one day - unprepared. You can't do it five days a week, 20 days a month.
Mike: Speaking of shows, I think everyone will associate Maria Todd with Sam Malone in this city.
Sam: Yeah.
Mike: You two were a big team.
Sam: My wife?
Mike: Exactly. Your work-wife. Right? How come you two work so well together? Is it just immediate chemistry that you can't explain or is there more than that?
Sam: I have no idea. I hired Maria in September of 1990 and we didn't get along. She was my news girl. She was just angry. Oh, my God she had so much anger. She had such a chip on her shoulder. At that point, I would wear nice sweaters and Dockside, whatever. She would have her Malcolm X shirt on and her Malcolm X hat on. She'd look at me and I was like, "Could we be anymore opposite?"
Something made her laugh one day. I said something and she'd just look at you like she wanted to fight, and she smiled. She has a beautiful smile. We were laughing and she started coming out of her shell. I don't know what it was. We just clicked at Buffalo in '92 or something. We realized that - as different as we are - we had so much in common intellectually. We love the same television shows. We love the same food. We love to eat. We both could eat a whole pig [snaps fingers] like that. [laughs] We both love this kind of movie. We both dig Laugh-in, Dick Van Dyke, Hill Street Blues, Bill's football, whatever.
We joined forces on the things that we liked. She is so talented. It wasn't even work with her. You could just say anything - packet of sugar. "Oh, let me tell you something about a packet of sugar." I would jump in and she would jump in. She was really good, really talented. I've been talking to her a lot. She's real sweet. She cracks me up.
Mike: So, she's now in San Francisco? Is that right?
Sam: Yeah.
Mike: How is she doing up there?
Sam: She's bitching about how expensive it is. I miss her and she misses me, because we just have that. Our old station manager called it "lightning in a bottle." It never happens in radio or TV where two people just click.
Mike: Yeah, because you can go through your whole career and never have another Maria Todd.
Sam: Yeah, she's just one-of-a-kind. She's self deprecating, which is so enjoyable. I put myself down like "I'm just a fat loser with a red mustache." She'd go, "Oh, no you aren't fat, but I look, you know. I'm 72 pounds too heavier than I was." It's just enjoyable.
When she tells stories about dating - women in radio want to be the know-all, the end-all, the prettiest, the smartest, "I don't know nothing."
Even if you open up the paper, "Let me see what it says. Oh my God, look who got married." She was an artist. She was a real radio artist. Good girl.
Mike: There was probably a lot of heart-ache when you left for MIX and you had to leave her behind.
Sam: It was tough. Our contracts were staggered so she couldn't leave. I told her I was going to do it. I said, "Listen, I can't turn this down. This is it."
Mike: Yeah.
Sam: When the contract is up, I'm pretty much a by-the-book-guy. So, it would be no hanky, panky with the contract. I just said, "When your contract is up, let me know." We have got to rock and roll together. They may want her to stay after this part.
It was tough, but we're still pretty close. It was just tough to getting away from having her on the radio. She's so talented.
Mike: When you first moved over to Clear Channel, you were doing KTRH, which was a new Sam for us. Right? You're doing news, you're doing commentary. Did you enjoy that?
Sam: I loved it. That's one of the things I really went over there for, aside from the benefits package, was the ability to do a two-hour AM talk show. It was unheard of from when I got out. Unheard of - not like it ever happened again, but they said, "You sound like you could do talk radio. Why don't we give you a show too." I'm like, [pause]. It was so cool to do that and - as I always say - continue the conversation. You can continue the conversation with your listeners, I'll be at 740, whatever. Aw! That was fun!
Mike: People might not understand that that's a big station; 740 has a booming signal. That's a big heritage news station.
Sam: Huge! I was blown away. When Ken Charles was putting together the package and said, "We think we have something for you in Talk." I was like, "Wow! Talk". It just opens you to a whole new avenue. Like here I used to be #1 with moms, but dads weren't really listening to me in the morning - not the kind of shows for them. They're more rock and roll kind of guys.
Then all of a sudden I'm talking to all these dads on AM Talk Radio. Now, I'm talking to moms in the morning and the dads during the midday - almost talking to the family. So, you hear callers say, "Well, my wife heard you say that this morning."
Mike: You've got the whole family.
Sam: I'm like, "Yeah, you know, it's amazing!"
Mike: What's next for Sam Malone?
Sam: Well, I have to get to my kid's school, but other than that... [laughs]. I have to sit out my non-compete (clause in contract that says host will not work at another Houston radio station for a determined period of time) which I did last time, and then I'll be back. The non-competes are immensely strict to the point where the whole [deal with the new station] could just collapse if you say the wrong thing.
Mike: Right.
Sam: So, all I'm going to say is, "I'll be back real soon." [laughs]
I am enjoying this break. It's so refreshing. I feel stronger than ever, faster than ever, better than ever. I've had a chance to travel a lot. I want to travel again. I was able to go to Geneva, Switzerland, which who the hell has time to go Geneva? [laughter] It's one of those things like, "I don't know - Geneva?"
It's so nice. I've spent all this time, I take my boy to school every day. It's just so nice! I was at Tony's yesterday, having lunch with friends. I'm having lunch tomorrow. It's just one of those things. It's like I'm sure you get busy and you always think, "I would like to have lunch with that person. If only I had time. If only I could get to New York for Christmas and see the Spectacular and walk Madison Avenue, Fifth Avenue, or something like that."
It's a chance to do it. Sleeping late isn't too bad.

Grease on a stove is the reported cause of a house that Shawnee crews battled earlier this week.
Shawnee firefighters responded to extinguish a house fire Monday afternoon at 309 N. Eastern.
The call came in about 1:14 p.m. Firefighters said the blaze involved a kitchen fire mainly contained to that area, where there was heavy fire damage.
No one was home at the time of the blaze, but reports indicated cause was likely unattended grease left on the stove, said Deputy Chief Dru Tischer.
Red shift fire crews responded quickly and "did a great job" making sure the fire didn't spread, said Fire Chief David Short.
Tischer said fire crews jumped on the blaze quickly and aggressively and were able to minimize the damage by extinguishing the fire before it got into the structure and attic.
The American Red Cross was called in to help the occupants as the house had smoke and electrical damage. No injuries were reported.

This is a study in healthy adult subjects to evaluate the bioequivalence of a Combined Formulated Tablet compared with maraviroc and Combivir administered concurrently versus maraviroc + Combivir. 42 subjects will be enrolled in the study such that 40 subjects complete dosing and critical assessments. The total duration of a subject's participation will be approximately 33 to 35 days, including a screening period (Day −21 to Day −1), 2 treatment periods (Days 1-3), at least a 7-day washout between Period 1 and Period 2, and a follow-up visit 7 to 14 days after the last dose of study drug in Period 2. Each dosing period will begin the evening prior to dosing and extend until 48 hours (Day 3) after dosing. Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive 1 of the following 2 treatments in Period 1 then crossover to receive the alternate treatment in Period 2:
In Sequence 1 (N=21) subjects will receive Treatment A followed by a 7 day washout and Treatment B. In Sequence 2 (N=21) subjects will receive Treatment B followed by a 7 day washout and Treatment A. Treatment A consists of 1 tablet of maraviroc 300 mg, lamivudine 150 mg, and zidovudine 300 mg as a combined formulation after an overnight fast. Treatment B consists of 1 tablet of maraviroc 300 mg + 1 tablet of Combivir taken concurrently after an overnight fast. On Day 1 of each treatment period, subjects will receive study drug in the morning after an overnight fast of at least 8 hours. Study drug will be administered with 240 mL of water. Dosing in each treatment period will be separated by a minimum washout period of at least 7 days between doses. All subjects will undergo safety and other assessments. Subjects may be discharged after all study procedures are completed on the morning of Day 3, with instructions to return for the next study period or the follow-up visit, as appropriate. The follow-up visit will occur 7 to 14 days after the last dose of study drug in Period 2. Pharmacokinetic blood samples will be collected during each treatment period for evaluation of maraviroc, lamivudine, and zidovudine before dosing and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 48 hours after dosing (total of 16 PK time points per treatment period). Protocol waivers or exemptions are not allowed, with the exception of immediate safety concerns. Therefore, adherence to the study protocol requirements, including those specified in the Time and Events Table, are essential and required for study conduct.

Took my celiac daughter here. She got two of the GF yogurts--Caramel & vanilla. We got home and she mentioned her yogurt had a peanut butter after taste. I tried it agreed & called the store to inquire if the peanut butter was GF. Was told yes. I told her my concern & was told that there is always the possibility that the nozzle became cross-contaminated by another customer dipping their previous yogurt into the nozzle of another flavor. This is z serious allergy & celiac issue I had never thought of. Yogurt had to be tossed to be safe. We will not be back

Creamy yummy yogurt. Too sweet for my husband but perfect for me. It is like soft serve ;) some staff knows what is up GF, some don't. Stick to obvious flavors...not cake batter, graham cracker, or cookies and cream
9640 Mission Gorge Rd, Santee, CA 92071
I went to the one the one in Dana Point. They took the stand that all their products MAY have gluten, they would not guarentee anything, so it was best if we did not order anything. We had to leave. They are lazy and uncaring. They sucked big time, I'll never go back.

Childhood memories spark thoughts of comfort food.
When you're having a really bad day, what kind of food do you eat? In the movies it's common to see women gravitating toward chocolate or a tub of ice cream. Men tend to consume lots of alcohol. I have to admit when I'm feeling down there aren't many foods that make me feel better.
It's difficult to put much effort into cooking when your mind is full of disconnected thoughts and you are worried about what tomorrow will bring. Tonight as my spirits were down I recalled childhood moments that somehow brightened the moment. Funny, those memories all occured in the kitchen long, long ago.
My mother entrusted me with the beaters from her hand mixer each time she baked a cake. My tastebuds tingled as I licked the thick, chocolate batter. In late spring, I relished my mother's homemade cobbler prepared with sour cherries picked from a tree in our back yard. And then there were the very rare moments when my mother lifted me up onto the kitchen counter. She then filled a fragile apertif glass with creme de menthe, and I was allowed one small sip.
I guess you could call those my comfort foods of long ago.
