Blake Edwards died yesterday. Although best known for his movies, he made this contribution to dramatic fiction: He was the first modern writer who created a private eye who got along swell with the police. Prior to him, there was usually friction between the private detective and the police. His first work in this regard was Richard Diamond on the radio with Dick Powell. He later took the same idea to television with Peter Gunn. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blake_Edwards

Thanks for that link, Paul. Actually it was the audio with the link that answered my question. The five players were encroaching upon the sidelines in an area where only the coaches are allowed to stand. Furthermore, Alosi initially denied instructing the players to stand there, so apparently the team now considers him to have answered the questions dishonestly.

I don't understand the purpose of the wall. What's the deal?

I notice how few of these are products of large labels/companies.

Here is a list of the players in the league who will become free agents Feb. 16. I'm amazed that BC has only two. I can see Jarious Jackson and Ron Flemons moving. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=345601 ***** Kavis Reed announced his coaching staff today, notably Rich Stubler. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=345631

Happy Birthday 2010 Phil, wherever you are!

Thanks mjzee!

The Argos have given Jim Barker the additional duties of GM in addition to those of head coach. Adam Rita will not be returning. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/jim-barker-named-argos-gm/article1838633/

Two family members have given me a little money to buy myself some Christmas presents. The idea is that nowadays the prices are better before Christmas, and if they wait till Christmas Day to give me the cash, I won't get as much. So I have already spent the money on a few items.

I got this press release today: Many critics have opined that Lloyd's "New Quartet", with Jason Moran, Reuben Rogers and Eric Harland may be the best of all his groups. The quartet's previous release in this line-up, the live-recorded Rabo de Nube, met with across-the-board approval and was voted #1 album of the year in both the Critics and Readers Polls of JazzTimes. The Quartet has toured extensively since the September release of Mirror both in the states and abroad. Early in the new year they will again hit the road in the USA: January 20 - Hanover, NH - Hopkins Center Dartmouth College January 21 and 22 - Boston, MA - Regattabar January 23 - Burlington, VT - Flynn Center January 25 - Amherst, MA - U Mass January 28 - Middletown, CT - Wesleyan Univ. January 29 - New York, NY - JALC – Rose Theater January 30 - Buffalo, NY - Albright-Knox Gallery And later in the year: June 3 – Chicago, IL – Orchestra Hall – Charles Lloyd Quartet + Zakir Hussain

Happy Birthday 2010 Jim!

In 1982 I started reading Life After Life by Raymond Moody. I found it very interesting, but half way through it I moved from Pittsburgh to York, and the book was lost in the move. I recently picked up a copy, and I've started it tonight. I'm looking forward to reading the whole thing now.

Tell me about it! Well, maybe I'll get an upgrade sometime in 2011.

Head Man, that looks great! Unfortunately, 1 gig memory is a requirement, and I have only 512 meg memory. I've bookmarked your site.

OK, I already have MS Office 2003, and I've never really learned how to use it. So I have gone to Amazon, and I think I will order this book for beginners. It's a college textbook. http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Office-2003-Introductory-Techniques/dp/0619255587/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=IBTJQKNZDJQTQ&colid=RVSBV717YT9

It looks like the Miami job is going to Temple's Al Golden. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/als-coach-trestman-not-moving-to-miami/article1834810/

San Diego beat Kansas City 31-0 today. I didn't know that San Diego had it in them this year to score 31 points, and I thought that KC was supposed to be good.
