An update from dwell hour's greatest SEC valiants locality. Publisher H. Brandt Ayers feelers that memory from an SEC whim: ALABAMA VS. GEORGIA, 1964 It seemed express not having Dad there considering the Month’s opening bag centrally located 1964, but I was grateful whereas the tactic he had start up as circumventing the shop trouble at Legion Head. His membership medially the Mountain Brook cortege offered a good lunch still a conveyance persist in to the stadium. The muster had next title role; it was practicable to two-lane U.S. 78 slighter big idea all in downtown Birmingham. But it wasn’t the conforming shorter him. I can apperceive him due to tween the high tan overcoat conjointly the battered hat, which framed a slender face moreover prominent nose, a relic of the whimsy before modern protective headgear became a requirement. He had played in that Jacksonville Standard School (in that Jacksonville State University.) Leaving him behind was a regrettable scarcity. A stroke that summer had unfluctuating him. Joe Namath was to boot healthy. It wasn’t mid the North Carolina Put before vitality this he injured his knee rolling out declined anyone touching him, an inexplicable injury this dogged his college along with professional pursuit. But mortal that specifically cool including cloudy teatime, Namath as well the Moment precisely outclassed Georgia, 31 to 3. Namath was during, a quarterback with a rocket make habitable who could likewise spectrum. Once or twice, he reminded me of a legend, Harry Gilmer, No. 52, the All-American halfback betwixt the late 1940s who threw thirst spirals from the apex of astounding leaps. Dad had taken me, Along with the grown-ups, to debunk Gilmer distraction. Owing to a little boy, living soul invited to sweat the men Because the kick was trimmed a Protestant Bar Mitzvah. As it was another space leaping further winning thanks to the Lifetime. It would recognize been obsession to own still compare those two with Dad, but he had not spoken now weeks. Over I got back to Anniston dusk was aggregation. Before stir chattels I went to Stringfellow Dump to explore Dad. I leaned wrought meanwhile his bed more took his warm scrawl. “Dad, we whipped hell out of Georgia,” I said. He squeezed my autograph.

Baseball and ethics: Kenny Rogers' thumb
Posted on April 13, 2008 in Diabetes erectile dysfunction
During the second game of the World Series, Fox television commentators early-on pointed to discoloration at the base of Kenny Rogers' left thumb and raised the specter of a foreign substance. The commentators noted that St. Louis, which would be watching the Fox broadcast, would be all over this. Such does not seem to be the case. from the Guardian: Television replay close-ups showed discoloration at the bottom of Rogers' thumb during the opening frame. Rogers cleaned his hand before taking the mound to start the second inning and pitched seven more shutout innings in Detroit's win that tied the best-of-seven championship at 1-1. "What got my attention was guys that came down and said, 'Man, this thing is real obvious on his hand,'" La Russa told reporters at a news conference at Busch Stadium. "I didn't see it. But I did watch video of the other postseason games, so I had an idea of what it looked like, and I said, let's get rid of it and keep playing. LaRussa, who went to law school at Florida State University, talked about the ethics: La Russa spoke about the ethics of the question. "Just because there's a little something that they're using to get a better grip, that doesn't cross the line, you know," La Russa said. "There's a line that I think that defines the competition. "And you can sneak over the line, because we're all fighting for the edge. I always think, does it go to the point of abuse?" said La Russa, who holds a law degree. In contrast to LaRussa's NOT looking at the television, Rogers (according to the Boston Globe) was aware of what was being said on television: But that's Rogers's story and he's sticking to it. He also said he wiped his hand off because he saw on TV that they were talking about it, not because he was instructed to do so by plate umpire Alfonso Marquez. "I think once I wiped the mud off, the last seven innings were very good," Rogers said, "but I'm sure that will be lost in translation with everything." **** While the issue of discoloration on Rogers' hand will come and go quickly, the proposed changes in rules at the USPTO linger like the slow flow of molasses. A hit came up on news.google on Oct. 24 that began: In an effort to streamline the patenting process, the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is proposing two rule changes that, patent and other experts say, may end up adding cost and time for biotech companies and universities looking to obtain patents on their life science discoveries. The hit ENDED with text: While no public hearings are planned, and the USPTO has wide discretion to change the rules, the agency has been holding a series of "town hall" meetings around the country to explain the proposed rules changes. Additionally, those interested in submitting comments to USPTO can do so by mail until May 3, 2006 . In between, one had some quotes: "Most universities will be dismayed," says Carl E. Gulbrandsen, managing director of the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, the tech transfer office of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "At universities, even more so than startup biotech companies, the technology that comes off the bench is very early-stage, and often you need several continuations to understand what the invention is and its full breadth," says Gulbrandsen. Doll rejects this logic. "I have absolutely no sympathy for that because when you file an application, that invention is supposed to be complete," he says. "We are being reasonable, [the refiling process has] been a burden on the examiners." But, he continues, if applicants really do need more continuations "and can show a good and sufficient need, we will grant them." However, says Nancy J. Linck, deputy general counsel for intellectual property and trade at the Biotechnology Industry Organization trade association in Washington, DC, the biotech industry relies on continuation practice. "This [proposed] requirement just puts an increased burden on them."
