In final 10 meters, Tergat got a half foot ahead and Ramaala dove for the finish but it was a futile dive and Tergat triumphed by the smallest amount.

More isn't always better: "I had over-trained. I put too much pressure on myself because I wanted that gold medal too much. If I had trained 15 per cent less, I would have won.

"Paul Maurer, in The Gift, not only presents an interesting and captivating story, but he explores the deeper questions of why runners run, why we compete, and what makes such a simple sport, running, so rewarding to those of us who do it.

So True: "Eight years ago, Yesalis and UCLA labratory chief Don Catlin were asked independently how much money it would take for research to really fight doping, and both said the figure would be in excess of $50 million.

"I don't want to short-change my fans and myself, I know I am more talented than I have shown the world. I want to go out there and show my full potential.

Great Advice: "I am glad that because I chose to focus on a personal goal, pursued passionately and today I bear testimony of what it can yield, even beyond my wildest expectations. I hope that this will somehow encourage someone here today as well, to pursue his dream and vision...Usually, I get quite enriched whenever I have an opportunity to positively touch the life of someone.

Venue/Location: Mission Theater, 1624 N.W. Glisan St., Phone: (503) 224-0166
Date: Tuesday, February 15, 2011 - 7:00 PM
Promiscuous DNA: The Invasion, Spread, and Impact of Mobile Genes
Mission Theater & Pub
7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Doors open at 5:00pm.
Science Pub is open to ages 21+, or minor with adult.
$3 suggested cover charge, No RSVP or tickets required.
If you think genomes are mainly composed of genes, think again! Whole genome sequencing has paved the way for us to find out what we are in an entirely new way. This Science Pub will focus on the most recent discoveries in genome science, especially the prominence of mobile, parasitic genes that, in humans, account for more than half of the genome. The talk will also include exciting tales of rapid genome expansion, the rampant exchange of genetic material that occurs between species, and how finding out that most of our genome is full of "junk" makes us even more fascinating!
Dr. Sarah Schaack is a post-doctoral fellow working in bioinformatics and genomics at Lewis and Clark College. Her work on mobile DNA, mutation, and the evolution of the genome has been published in premier journals, including Science and Nature, and has been featured in the popular cyber press, such as Science Daily.

{{ -- Introduction -- }}
{{ You step into the warm, brightly lit building and you really aren't surprised by what you see. This school looks like any other school, with girls gossiping in the corner and guys talking about the latest sports news. You want to do your best to fit in, but you're not sure where to start. Do you hang out with the cool, popular kids? Or the scrawny nerds? Or do you just choose to go your own way? It's all up to you, and your decision could change your whole school year. So have fun, and do choose carefully.
And by the way, welcome to high school. }}
{{ -- Rules -- }}
1. Please, keep romance and violence at a PG-13, maybe lower level.
2. No swearing.
3. Be as realistic as possible. No powers or unusual descriptions, please.
4. Include others please. Don't just ignore people. That's rude.
5. Please be active, tell someone if you are going to be gone. You will be deleted if you aren't active.
6. You can't date your own character.
7. Okay, please, please, try not to use too much text talk, even for chat. I find it incredibly annoying to try and translate a bunch of numbers and letters.

{{ -- Bridgeway High School -- }}
{{ Bridgeway High School is a relatively large school, considering there aren't many students there. The school is built like a circle, so it's difficult to get lost. The gym/cafeteria is located in the center, and the classrooms are mostly located on the second floor. The school is located near a large lake, which is a common place for teens to hang out and socialize. It's pretty easy to sneak out, since there aren't any people watching the front doors. }}
{{ -- The Town of Bridgeway -- }}
{{ A small town in the middle of nowhere with three different sections; The rich, popular side, the ghetto, poor side, and the farming side. People from the rich side usually hate the people from the ghetto side, and vice versa. Teens from the farming side usually have simple lives, and they tend to be raised by strict parents. }}
-- The Rich Side -- This is where most of the popular kids live. They're all about how they look, the latest fashion, and what other people think of them. They tend to have very high self importance, and they think that the world revolves around them. The rich kids pretty much rule the school, and they're not afraid to put people in their place. Most of the rich kids can't stand the poorer kids, and there are frequent fights between the two. They are mostly snobby, self centered jerks, but you will occasionally find a person that doesn't go with the stereotype.
-- The Poor Side -- This side of town is a bit ghetto, with dark alleyways and dirty streets. It's known as the "bad side" of town, and most people avoid it. People who live here have to live with the stereotype of being poor. They are often though of as thieves and vandalists, and this is true for quite a few of them. But they're mostly just teenagers who are down on their luck and they just feel like loners. They are always being targeted by the rich kids, and they usually don't back down from a confrontation.
-- The Farmland -- The kids on the farming side may have strict parents, but that doesn't mean the teens don't like to have fun. The kids from these parts just try to blend in and stay out of the way. They get along well with both the rich and the poor sides, but their parents think they should only hang out with their local friends. They are surrounded by fields when they are at home. These kids aren't afraid to sneak out after their nine o'clock curfew though.

Mystery Photo - 03.25.10
Durham, late 1960s.
ED has moved to Open Durham. Please head that way!
My first thought was Wake Place looking east toward Elizabeth Street.
I thought the same thing.
Ho Ho Ho,
This could have been one of so many streets in East Durham.Off Angier Ave,off Liberty St. off E.Main St.You name it, you have it.
The thing so wonderful about it all,we were poor but we didn't know it.We had family,friends and
neighbors.Children played safely in yards,in the streets.
How times have changed!
Could this be Gordon St., the little dirt road (still a dirt road, last time I was there), that connects Yancey & Jackson?
Clue: Look for an outdoor restaurant. I'm sure that's a stove in the front yard! : )
The problem is there are no houses on the East side of Powe street. However, in the Mystery Photo, there appear to be houses on both sides.
Powe St.looks close but it looks like 402 Powe St. is on the corner with Hull. In the picture it's not on the corner but several houses are beyond it.
The houses are on the east side of the street facing west based on the shadows.
The upslope is fairly steep, even for Durham -- the camera was level with the porch floor of the house on the left, and the car parked alongside the road is clearly facing down a pretty good decline. I looked around East Durham on the historical topo maps available in Google Earth, and there weren't that many possibilities -- it's got to be a small residential street with houses on both sides. The road climbs a hill, probably headed east, based on the angle of the autumn sun coming in from the right.
A shot in the dark: Lowry Ave, facing east from near where it starts at Calvin St. The house on the left just might be 1013 Lowry Ave. The house behind it in the photo would have to have been torn down and replaced with the "garden apartments" at 1015 Lowry Ave. There's still an old curb for a driveway. And the telephone pole in the photo is still standing, in approximately the right place compared to the house...
Here's a Google Street View link for the area I mentioned in the previous comment:
i think toby's right on point
I think Toby got it. At first glance I was thinking somewhere around the South St area, maybe Hillside or Chestnut, etc.
I've been looking at the photo again and I agree Toby is probably right but here are a few differences I see. I know the house on the left has obvious major changes if it is the house in the mystery photo. Looks to me that the roof line has more pitch in the mystery photo. I don't know if that's something someone would have changed. There is a chimney in the mystery photo and none on the house on Lowery. Also 2 windows on the front of the house and only one on Lowery. With that said I still agree in is a good possibilty. Nice job Toby
Ok boys and girls.
I went down on Lowry and took some pictures. In the original there looks to be the house, driveway opening and then about 10 feet of shrubs going to the telephone pole.
In my photo there is the house, the driveway and then the pole. No ten foot of shrub or land. On the original it looks like a chimney on the left side of the house. In my photo the side chimney is gone and there are two on the ridge. One halfway and one all the way back. I can see taking the side one out but not building two new chimneys out of brick. The middle one would be a lot of work. On the front porch on the original photo the door seems centered. On my photo the door is off center to the right.
Also the roof pitch looks steeper on the original photo. It looks like a 12/12 and my photo looks like an 8/12. With all that said it could be the same house. The steepness of the road sure looks the same. You can look on Bing maps Birdseye view about the chimneys and also Google maps.
Fans of the ED Mystery Photo might also like Mitch Fraas' recent posting over at Durham Maps. He's got a slew of LOC pictures, including a bunch of "Negro quarter of Durham" shots with our favorite landmarks in the background.
My gut tells me this road is still out there -- and still unpaved. According to a HS story from 2003, Durham has 28 miles of unpaved roadway. These 28 miles are on 208 different steets (or portions thereof).
Here's a shot in the dark. I showed this picture to my mom and she seems to think this may be Dale St. in Edgemont. We lived on Dale St in the early sixties and I really thought this photo looked familiar. Of course the entire Dale St neighborhood has been rehabbed and none of the old houses are standing. If not it could have been any of the little streets around there maybe Stokes. Really hope someone solves this.
it reminds me of rosedale ave, between bivins & w lakewood over in the forest hills park neighborhood...
google street view link
my initial thought was Lyons Street, also in Edgemont and recently rehabbed. It would make sense based on the comments concerning direction, the photo is taken from north to south orientation. Dale and Lyons both ran uphill headed south. I am going with Lyons Street, though
This was the 100 block of Memphis Street, looking east from Pine Street (now S. Roxboro Street) towards the 900 block of Mason Street and eventually crossing Picket Street & terminating at Macklin Street. It began on Pine Street 1 block north of Piedmont Avenue.

Sidewalks and their restoration is something the City of Russellville will be looking into soon, said Mayor Mark Stratton.
At the last city council meeting, Stratton told his council that sidewalks were something he wanted to begin focusing on in the coming months. There are a lot of sidewalks in the city that are in need of repair.
Although the city already has an ordinance on the books that addresses sidewalks, the mayor says he needs to go back and look at it to see if revisions needed to be made.
"We've got sidewalks throughout the city that need to be addressed," said Stratton. "We are going to have to look at the current ordinance they city has before we can begin moving in the direction we need to go. This is definitely something I want the city to accomplish, however."
Nothing has actually been planned as of yet which sidewalks will be targeted. There are many, some that have already deteriorated. Stratton said the council will be looking into possibly setting aside a percentage of Road-Aid monies it receives from the state each year to help pay for sidewalk repair.
Stratton mentioned he remembered when he served on the council before becoming mayor, there were property owners who had sidewalks that ran in front of their homes agree to purchase materials to repair the sidewalks if the city would provide the labor. Stratton said he remembers that it worked very well, and this could be something that is implemented in the future once again.
"We hopefully will be able to investigate this soon and come back with some decisions in the fall," said Stratton. "This is just preliminary right now, but we need to start working on it in the months to come. There is no definite time line."

Cowboys, Official Offseason Thread
Posted 27 January 2007 - 03:49 PM
By MAC ENGEL
Star-Telegram Staff Writer
IRVING -- Norv Turner is coming to interview for the Cowboys' head coaching job Sunday and appears to be the leading candidate to replace Bill Parcells.
The San Francisco 49ers reportedly have made a substantial offer to keep Turner, the team's offensive coordinator, from even interviewing with the Cowboys. But Turner, who is in Mobile, Ala., as a coach in the Senior Bowl today, will still interview with the Cowboys and has emerged as the favorite to coach the team, according to league sources with knowledge of the situation.
Turner has a history with Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones and has been a head coach twice previously in the NFL, with Washington (1994-2000) and Oakland (2004-05).
He was the offensive coordinator for the Cowboys in their Super Bowl-winning seasons of 1992 and 1993 and groomed Troy Aikman. He also coached Jason Garrett as one of the backup quarterbacks in 1993, and Garrett on Thursday was named to the Cowboys' staff, presumably as the offensive coordinator.
Turner was offensive coordinator of the San Diego Chargers in 2001 and the Miami Dolphins in 2002-03.
New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Gary Gibbs, who was on the Cowboys' staff for four seasons before this one, will interview with Jones today at Valley Ranch.
He follows another defensive coordinator, Wade Phillips of the San Diego Chargers, who spent most of Friday at Cowboys' headquarters.
Sporting his Sunday best -- in this case a blue suit and tie -- Phillips arrived at Valley Ranch at 8:30 a.m. and left around 3:20 p.m. He met with Jerry Jones, president Stephen Jones, former coach Bill Parcells and Garrett about the vacant position.
"I think [Jerry Jones] knows what I'm about," Phillips said in a six-minute session with the media.
"I don't think [the coaching decision] will be a long, drawn-out process," Phillips said. "That's what I've been told."
Phillips said of his conversation with Parcells, "He said he'd help any way he could and he will, personnel-wise or anything. We did talk a little bit about some of the personnel they had here, and he thought who could play and how well. Which is helpful, and if I were to be here, that would be something I would tap into him and see a lot more in-depth about the players that are here."
Phillips, 60, spent the past three seasons as the defensive coordinator in San Diego. He's been an NFL head coach twice. Both times he was fired.
He coached the Denver Broncos to a 9-7 record in 1993 and was 7-9 in '94, then was replaced by Mike Shanahan. Phillips compiled a 29-19 record with the Buffalo Bills from 1998 through 2000.
Despite his less-than-ceremonious departures from both jobs, Phillips remains highly regarded as an astute defensive coach who runs the 3-4. It's those last two numbers that intrigue Jones.
Under Parcells, the Cowboys drafted and signed players to fit that scheme. One player, linebacker DeMarcus Ware, was selected one pick ahead of Shawne Merriman, who flourished under Phillips in San Diego. Merriman led the NFL with 17 sacks this season.
"I wished we could have had both of them," Phillips said. "[Ware] is a really good, young player. I think he's going to develop into a great player."
The Chargers' defense ranked seventh in the NFL in fewest points allowed this season.
Even though the Cowboys have hired Garrett to be the offensive coordinator, at least, and are ostensibly grooming him to be a head coach, Phillips expressed no concerns.
"In this day and time, to get good coaches sometimes you have to put the cart before the horse," Phillips said. "In this situation, if you have good coaches, a lot of times you want to keep them."
Phillips said he believes Garrett is a "rising star." He just doesn't know him well.
What he does know is that this Cowboys team has the potential to be good.
"Bill Parcells was here and put together a solid team. That's pretty important already," Phillips said. "They were in the playoffs. That's a good start for any head coach coming in."
Posted 28 January 2007 - 07:40 AM
I don't care for the 3-4, but Dallas was successful with it early on, and still stopped the run with it, but it needs some tweaking in the pass coverage. Wade Phillips is an excellent defensive coach, but like I said, he would surely want to move up. I always liked Jason Garret, and thought someone would take him away from Dallas as a starter. He took it like a man having to play second fiddle to Aikman all those years. I don't know anything about his coaching prowess though. Somebody help me here. The media can throw anyone in the headlines they want, but I still have to convince myself if it will work.
For the record, I didn't think Jimmy Johnson would be successful either, and I still don't think he would have been near as good had he not had Herschell Walker to trade for 3 starters and 8 draft picks. He turned out to be a great Cowboys coach (his time at the Dolphins was forgettable), but look at the team and assts.he had in Dallas, phenominal to say the least. Barry Switzer coached them to a SB, kinda like Seifert did with the 49ers. Were either of these two coaches great? Turns out....no. I do think Johnson could do something with this Cowboys team as the talent is already in place, but he'd never come back to Dallas.
OK, I'm through rambling now.

Norv Turner is going to be named the head coach of the Cowboys on Monday.
Oh, nobody has officially announced this ho-hum news. Nor am I pretending to have an inside pipeline to Owner Jones' brain. It's just a hunch based on what has been happening at Valley Ranch.
Did I mention this is a mistake? On so many levels.
Norv is not a bad guy or a bad coach. Quite the opposite. He is actually a great offensive coordinator, exactly the kind of guy you want tutoring Tony Romo in what may be a defining season for him.
What is slightly confounding is why nobody seems to recognize this is exactly what already-hired offensive coordinator Jason Garrett was touted for. If anything, Norv sounds like an older more scarred version of Garrett.
I mean, seriously, how many gurus does Romo need? And was anybody actually paying attention in December?
If an excess of experts, gurus and possibly faith healers are needed for any Cowboys, look at the 11-plus lost souls on defense. They were the group that absolutely cratered in crunch time, giving up an NFL-worst 152 points in December.
In the words of one Cowboys insider, "This defense is broken." Not irreparable but definitely broken -- in spirit, in scheme and in talent in a few areas.
In my world, a defense in shambles, plus Garrett already employed, equals a strong case for the Cowboys' next coach to be a defensive guy.
But my world is definitely not Jerry's. My perfect world actually has Owner Jones waiting post-Super Bowl to see if prying Lovie Smith from Chicago -- or at least stealing his defensive coordinator, Ron Rivera -- is a possibility.
Neither seems to have much of a chance, which is why Chargers defensive coordinator Wade Phillips is the next-best choice for Owner Jones.
Logic says, when your defense is "broken," you bring in the guy who ran your exact scheme, only better and with results, in San Diego. Especially when you realize Romo is the best thing this team has going at the moment.
Romo-mania needs to be tweaked, not saved.
This is not to say the NFL is not all about the quarterback. It is, but even the best QB going right now, Indy's Peyton Manning, needed defensive help to reach a Super Bowl. Chicago, of course, plays next Sunday almost solely because of its defense.
So, really, it does not matter if Turner, by his presence, molds Romo into Roger Staubach. The Cowboys are not going anywhere with this defense as presently constructed. And Norv is not the guy to handle the overhaul.
This is problematic because Norv is probably going to be the head coach, and nobody has any clue who will be the unlucky fool charged with cleaning up the mess on defense.
Does Norv stay with a Coach Parcells holdover like Todd Bowles or Paul Pasqualoni? Or does he go with somebody he knows like, say, Dave Campo? And is the decision even Norv's to make?
Owner Jones reasserted himself into coaching matters with the Garrett hire and is unlikely to fade quietly back to the spot he occupied during CP's tenure. If so, what he needs to realize is hiring Norv only solves half of the problem, the half that was not the Cowboys' biggest problem, the half that was supposedly fixed by Garrett, the half that is not "broken."
Hiring Norv just means Owner Jones has zero room for error when bringing in somebody to fix the other, uglier half.
Did I mention this is a mistake?

IRVING -- The last time Gary Gibbs was a head coach was 1994 at the University of Oklahoma, an environment that can be politely described as challenging.
But since he left Norman as the man with the task of replacing Barry Switzer, Gibbs has rebuilt his image as a solid defensive coordinator with New Orleans. And a man who loves to coach.
"I think everybody would like to be a head coach in the NFL but certainly [the Cowboys are] special," Gibbs said Saturday at Cowboys headquarters. "[Being a head coach] didn't drive me. I just enjoy coaching and trying to win a football game on Sunday."
Gibbs became the sixth candidate to interview for the Cowboys' coaching vacancy. The seventh, and likely the last, will be 49ers offensive coordinator Norv Turner, who is scheduled to interview today.
But it was Gibbs' turn Saturday. An assistant coach with the Cowboys from 2002-05, Gibbs' stock took off as the defensive coordinator with the Saints this season. Despite a roster that was at once regarded as average, the Saints finished the season ranked fourth in the conference in total defense.
Gibbs said he met with Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones and executive vice president Stephen Jones. He also met with recently hired Jason Garrett and former coach Bill Parcells.
Gibbs, who worked for Parcells as the Cowboys' linebackers coach, met with Parcells for about 90 minutes.
"You learn a lot from a man like him," said Gibbs, who left Valley Ranch around 3 p.m. "He has a lot of information you can pick up."
The discussion of the Cowboys' 3-4 defense scheme came up in Gibbs' meeting with Jones. Although Gibbs ran a 4-3 defense with the Saints, he played a part in transitioning the Cowboys from the 4-3 to the 3-4. Jones has made it no secret he believes in the 3-4.
The topic of receiver Terrell Owens did not come up in the interview.
"At the end of the day we want to win. I know [Owens] wants to based on what I see on television," Gibbs said. "He's a playmaker, and you want to try to take advantage of playmakers."
A native of Beaumont, Gibbs made a name for himself as a linebacker and later a coach at Oklahoma. He served as an assistant there from 1975-88. He became the head coach in 1989, compiled a 44-23-2 record in six seasons and guided the Sooners to three bowl appearances.
His time as head coach in Norman, however, was difficult. Gibbs took
over a program that had been through controversial incidents and NCAA investigations. Gibbs' last season at Oklahoma was 1994 and he didn't return to coaching until 2000 at the University of Georgia.
Posted 30 January 2007 - 02:13 AM
I completely understand your post nedfan. We'll see if N.O. can maintain their play next year. It's clear that they are much better with all of those additions that were made, not just bush and brees. it helps having a healthy deuce as well. I am one that does like the 3-4. Opposing offenses seem to have trouble against teams that run the system well, especially in the pass rush dept. But you need versatile experienced players to get the job done. They have struggled late in the past two seasons, maybe because the cowboys are still relying on a lot of youth in that dept. and also still need to solitify certain positions. The list is too long to name them all, but hopefully a lot of those young guys that parcells brought in will continue to develop. Hopefully some of those guys can help Ware get more pressure, while still making sure they don't blow their coverage assignments like they often did last year. With the addition of garrett as OC.....a norv turner hire just does not make sense to me. Especially with your defense needing further development because of a new system with so many young players. Maybe they know something we don't. Garrett has been exposed to a lot of successful offensive schemes over the years. It's obvious he has a high skill level and will be a fresh start for the cowboys offense. I think parcells calling the plays may have been too much for him at certain points last season. Wade phillups makes sense in the fact that he can continue to develop the cowboys defense. He has a lot of coaching experience and has a winning record as a HC. His last firing in buffalo wasn't because he failed.....it was because of a feud with management. You won't ask him to call plays on offense or even put together the game plan. That should be garrett's job if he's as good as they say he is. anyway i think the cowboys need a strong leader and motivator who has experiece and it's obvious that they need help at the defensive end. So i'm on board with bringing a defensive minded coach. Maybe Mike Singletary fits in somewhere as well.I'm still not sure who to take here. I like Norv Turner as a OC, but not as a HC. Some coaches are just not cut out to be HCs. I think Wade Phillips would make a great DC, but why would he leave SD without moving up? Some coaches can be HCs and still call plays, Parcells, Payton, Holmgren..., but I also think that Payton has gotten too much credit for his success. Had he come to NO and had to run the offense with Brooks and Co., I don't think NO would have been anywhere near as successful. Not trying to dis Payton, per say, but success in football is always a combination of things and when the combination is right, things click. Anyone who doesn't think that the acqusition of Drew Brees (best NFC QB) and Reggie BUsh (exciting everytime he touches the ball) had as much or more effect on NO's success this season is a fool. Look at what one player (Romo) did for the Cowboys at first. Talk about a shot in the arm...
I don't care for the 3-4, but Dallas was successful with it early on, and still stopped the run with it, but it needs some tweaking in the pass coverage. Wade Phillips is an excellent defensive coach, but like I said, he would surely want to move up. I always liked Jason Garret, and thought someone would take him away from Dallas as a starter. He took it like a man having to play second fiddle to Aikman all those years. I don't know anything about his coaching prowess though. Somebody help me here. The media can throw anyone in the headlines they want, but I still have to convince myself if it will work.
For the record, I didn't think Jimmy Johnson would be successful either, and I still don't think he would have been near as good had he not had Herschell Walker to trade for 3 starters and 8 draft picks. He turned out to be a great Cowboys coach (his time at the Dolphins was forgettable), but look at the team and assts.he had in Dallas, phenominal to say the least. Barry Switzer coached them to a SB, kinda like Seifert did with the 49ers. Were either of these two coaches great? Turns out....no. I do think Johnson could do something with this Cowboys team as the talent is already in place, but he'd never come back to Dallas.
OK, I'm through rambling now.
Anyway about the coaching. You can't undermind the team johnson put together. It was one thing to trade walker for all of those picks, but to find all of those all-pro players with late-round picks was something you have to give johnson and his staff a lot of credit. They also hit it big with most of their top picks as well. maybe he knows he had some luck and will never be able to duplicate such results......so enjoying life in the keys and flying to L.A. every now and then to talk football isn't such a bad gig when compared to being a HC for the dallas cowboys when they aren't winning superbowls.
Johnson also had his hands tied somewhat in miami with marino at qb.....I don't think he got the total control he wanted there.

San Antonio Express-News: "The Dallas Cowboys' coaching search isn't over yet. In a surprise move, owner Jerry Jones is scheduled to interview Hall-of-Fame linebacker Mike Singletary today in Irving, a team spokesman said Monday. "
Cowboys consider 49ers' Singletary
January 30
San Francisco Chronicle: "If the Cowboys can't get offensive coordinator Norv Turner from the 49ers' staff, maybe they'll take linebackers and assistant head coach Mike Singletary. Despite reports that Turner would be the last to interview for Dallas' head-coaching opening, the Cowboys announced Monday that Singletary will be brought to Texas for an interview today."

San Jose Mercury News (registration required): "The Dallas Cowboys' search for a new head coach turned Monday to a second 49ers assistant: Mike Singletary. Singletary, 48, was scheduled to interview today with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. The 49ers' assistant head coach for defense would be the eighth candidate to be interviewed for the job vacated by the retiring Bill Parcells."
Singletary to talk to Cowboys about job

Sacramento Bee (registration required): "Instead, Cowboys officials asked for and received permission to interview another San Francisco assistant, Mike Singletary, for the position. Singletary, whose title in San Francisco is assistant head coach/defense, is expected to meet with team owner Jerry Jones and outgoing coach Bill Parcells, who is working as a team consultant."
Rooney Rule becomes hot topic once again
January 30
San Francisco Chronicle: "If you've paid attention to the head-coach screening process for the Bay Area's NFL teams -- and it has been hopping in recent years -- you've no doubt heard of the Rooney Rule. It's in the news today. Mike Singletary, the 49ers' assistant head coach for defense, is interviewing for the Dallas Cowboys' head-coaching vacancy. He's the eighth man to talk with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones since Bill Parcells retired from that gig."

Star-Telegram Staff Writer
IRVING -- Amid some quiet criticism floating from Miami that the Cowboys did not adequately satisfy the "Rooney Rule" by not interviewing a minority candidate, the team is taking no chances.
The Cowboys plan to interview San Francisco 49ers assistant head coach/defense Mike Singletary, who is African-American, today. The Hall of Fame linebacker served as a defensive assistant in San Francisco for the past two years.
He will be the first candidate to interview with the Cowboys who will not formally talk to former coach Bill Parcells. Monday was the first workday since the season ended that Parcells was not at Valley Ranch.
Current 49ers offensive coordinator Norv Turner, however, appears to be in the lead to replace Parcells.
An NFL source said that the Cowboys are expected to conclude their search soon and that the new coach could be announced Wednesday. Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones is scheduled to leave for the Super Bowl on Thursday.
By definition, the Cowboys complied with the "Rooney Rule" when they interviewed secondary coach Todd Bowles last week. But grumblings emanated from South Florida in recent days that Bowles was never a legitimate candidate and that the interview was perfunctory.
Singletary, 48, is considered more of a known quantity. He has interviewed for other head coaching jobs, even though his only NFL experience is four years as an assistant. He interviewed with the Atlanta Falcons after they fired Jim Mora Jr.
In 2005, Singletary's first season with the 49ers, he was assistant head coach/linebackers.
Singletary, a former Baylor great and Houston native, will be the eighth person to interview for the Cowboys' job.

Other than that, I know nothing of his coaching prowess. He can't be worse than Chan Gailey (he's the man)

yes....like garrett, singletary is a young coach on the rise. He is also a candidate to be a defensive coordinator for a team if he doesn't get a HC gig. JJ has already stated that he will not name his HC untill after the SB. This means there are more people to add to the list. obviously, assistants from the two SB teams. Ron Rivera is the big name being thrown around. Another person I would look at is the baltimore DC. He has been running a solid 3-4 defense in baltimore.If nothing else I'd bet he could keep Owens in line. Let Singletary look at him with that crazy LB stare of his and I think he would get in line with no back talk.

How bout Ditka? He could get owens in the right direction right?
I dunno. Haven't we tried the old school approach plenty the last few years? I know he wasn't as old as Parcells, but he does come from a time not too far removed from Big Bill's time.
On the positive side it would be cool to have a former Cowboy player come full circle and wind up coaching the team.
Posted 01 February 2007 - 02:47 PM
I was being sarchastic about that one. Ditka is one of the main ones always bashing owens.....so i don't think that would work unless owens agreed to wear a wedding dress ala ricky williams. Maybe ricky williams left a bad taste in ditka's mouth and he's taking it out on owens.I dunno. Haven't we tried the old school approach plenty the last few years? I know he wasn't as old as Parcells, but he does come from a time not too far removed from Big Bill's time.

I second that......at least T.O. usually will last thruout the season unless a limb is broken. I hope things work out for owens in dallas. Rumor has it that he might not talk to the media next season at all. I think that would be the best thing for him.....but i don't think he can do it.I'd rather have 2 TO's than 1 Williams any day of the week.

Ron Rivera gets slammed with cowboys questions......rather than colts questions.
rivera is also very much a possible candidate as a DC under norv turner. In this star-Tele article they report that Rivera had asked turner to be his OC if he landed the GB job last year.

I heard Ditka on ESPN Radio (with Galloway I think) saying there was no way in he!! he would coach again. For any team.

I traveled from Barcelona, Spain to see my Cincinnati Bengals play the Vikings last year. We lost which was disapointing but I had such a great time joking and having fun with Viking fans. I have been to away games in all types of sports all over the world and I have to say Viking fans are the best fans I have ever met on my travels. They made the whole experience so much fun and are an example to sports fans. everywhere.

The Minnesota Vikings are members of the North Division of the NFC in the NFL. The team's home field is Mall of America Field at the Metrodome located in Minneapolis proper. Established in 1961 the Vikings were originally applying for membership in the AFL, but were offered a spot in the NFL and took it in 1960. Play for the team did not commence until 1961. Their first regular season game was against the Chicago Bears with a score of 37-13. By 1969 the Vikings boasted a record of 12-2, the best in the NFL. At the time, they had the longest winning streak with 12 victories. They played the Cleveland Browns for the NFL Championship game in 1970 and won by a score of 27-7. The team's successes brought a high demand for Minnesota Vikings tickets. The 1970s brought more successes to the Vikes and their Purple People Eater defense led them to the Playoffs. The Vikings enjoyed several NFC Central Division and Conference Championships in the 70s. They played in Super Bowl XI, their third and fourth Super Bowl and NFL Championship games respectively, against the Oakland Raiders but lost 32-14, unable to shake their bad Super Bowl luck. In 2002 the team slid over to the NFC North, putting them in direct competition with rivals old and new in the Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers. Vikings fans are known to wear "Helga hats" during games, showcasing the purple hats with white horns and blonde braids which mimic the helmets that were believed to be worn by the original Viking warriors. While the recent saw restored success for the team, they have yet to reach beyond into Super Bowl contention.

Emergency calls released Wednesday describe the scene at two hotels where three women were shot in September.
According to police, Michelet Polynice went to the Quality Suites on Canada Avenue in Orange County on Sept. 27 and shot to death his estranged girlfriend, Carlene Pierre, and her coworker.
He then went to the Westgate Lakes Resort on Turkey Lake Road and shot 31-year-old Guerline Jean, who was Pierre's friend. Jean survived the shooting.
Police said Polynice fled in a white Toyota Corolla and was involved in a low-speed pursuit before he shot and killed himself. Orange County Fire Rescue said the car crashed and then burst into flames near Powers Drive and Sunshine Street.
The 911 calls from the Quality Suites paint a picture of confusion following the double shooting.
A caller, who identified himself as a guest at the hotel, said no one could access the victims because they were locked in a room behind the counter in the lobby.
"It's somebody behind the counter, and we can't get there because the door is locked," he said. "You can't get in there without climbing over the counter."
A law enforcement officer arrived shortly after with a crowbar to open the door to get to the victims.
The caller said he was eating breakfast in the dining room when he hear d"a couple of shots," then saw a young black man, dressed in black clothing, walk into the dining room, fire his gun into the air and then leave.
"When he came in here, everybody flattened out on the floor, because he came in brandishing the gun," the caller said.

Class AAAA Spalding (6-4) trailed 20-12 at the end of the first quarter but led 33-26 at the half and 45-44 going into the fourth where they prevailed 19-14 as Class A Marion County (4-3) lost its second in a row.
"We're becoming better defensively, and we executed down the stretch," said first-year Jags head coach Kemo Spear.
Rounding out Spalding' leading scorers were Phillip Goodrum (9); and Omari O'neal and Xeryous Dewberry (5 each); as well as Stephen Thrash, Ja'Quarrian berry, Terrance Brittian and Monquez Sullivan (4 each).
Dickerson scored 15, Brittian 12 and Goodrum 11 to lead the Jags in an 83-71 tournament-opening loss Thursday to Taylor County. Gerdarius Troutman scored 36 and Keyshawn Baker added 23 to lead Class AA Taylor County (then 6-2) as the Vikings won for the fourth time in their last five games.
SHS led the Vikings 25-20 at the end of the first quarter but trailed 41-33 at the half before regaining the lead 56-48 heading into the fourth quarter where Taylor County prevailed.
Spalding's first game during the break was a 74-53 loss to Newnan on Dec. 22 at SHS. Brittian paced Spalding with a team-high 10 points as the Jags had a three-game losing streak snapped and Class AAAAAA Newnan (then 6-2) won its third in a row and for the fifth time in six games.
Since then Newnan (now 8-3), which placed four players in double figures — Daniel Dean (18), Immanuel Griggs (17), Diamond Jones (16) and Tonaris Portress (11) — against Spalding, has won two more before losing.
Spalding (6-4 overall, 3-1 subregion) jumps back into Region 4-AAAA, Div. B Friday when it travels to take on Riverdale (8-6, 4-2). Other teams in the subregion include: Jonesboro (8-2, 4-0), North Clayton (7-5, 5-1) and Griffin (8-4, 3-2) as well as Upson-Lee (2-4, 1-2)

NEW ORLEANS >> In the final week of his career, we got to see the many sides of Ray Lewis.
There was Reverend Ray — reciting Bible verses and recalling singing in the church choir as a child, talking passionately about his relationship with God, the voice rising like a revival-tent preacher as he warned everyone that "the trick of the devil is to kill, steal and destroy. That's what he comes to do. He comes to distract you from everything you're trying to do."
There was Revered Ray — one of the fiercest linebackers in NFL history, universally praised by teammates and opponents alike for his emotion on the field, his leadership in the locker room, for being an example of how the game should be played.
"I will probably be most proud of the impact I've had on so many men's lives," Lewis said. "The game will fade one day, numbers will fall, accolades will wash away, but there is nothing better than changing someone's life.
Some even wondered if there was a Roided-Up Ray — taking some sort of strange wildlife byproduct containing a banned substance. (Lewis quickly shot down Antlergate as a "joke," and it must be noted, he's never tested positive for anything illegal.)
And, of course, there's Ragin' Ray.
That one comes out for the last time Sunday, when Lewis' last ride ends on the biggest stage of all.
The Super Bowl.
The Baltimore Ravens linebacker gets a shot to go out a champion in the title game against the San Francisco 49ers. A few greats players have managed to do it this way— John Elway, Jerome Bettis and Michael Strahan come to mind — but it rarely happens in football or any sport.
"I'm jealous," Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk said. "Ask any player, `How do you want to end your career?' You want to tell your team, `This is it.' You want to play in a Super Bowl and have a chance to win it. Very few guys get to leave the game with a storybook ending." Continued...
It didn't go quite as planned.
The report that the 37-year-old Lewis had purchased deer-antler spray from a quirky company in Alabama to help recover from a triceps injury — it supposedly contains a naturally occurring substance on the banned list — revived doubts about the character of the man. Some of these doubts had lingered since he was accused of covering up a double slaying in Atlanta the night after the 2000 Super Bowl.
In a way, Super Bowl week revealed there are so many Rays, it's impossible to wrap him up in a tidy package.
Even Lewis will admit that the guy he professes to be most of the time — deeply religious, a caring mentor, a humble leader — is not the one you see when he puts on his helmet and pads. The one who dances out of the tunnel before home games, swaying this way and that, as if pleading to the whole world: "Look at me!" The one who plays with fury and arrogance, fully intent on breaking lesser men and lording it over them.
"I turn into a different person on the field," Lewis said. "I am a totally different person off the field. But on the field, I'm driven to do whatever it takes for my teammates. There are so many of my teammates here today who I've honored and told them that I would do anything in my power so we can feel that confetti drop together, because that is the ultimate. For me being a leader of this team, I owe that to them."
No one can questions Lewis' contributions to the game as a player — a two-time defensive player of the year, a seven-time All-Pro, a 13-time Pro Bowler, a linebacker who defined the very essence of his position with his barely controlled fury.
Yet he spent a great deal of time in the days leading up his final game talking about the role of faith in his life. He described himself as non-denominational — again, someone who can't be defined in cut-and-dried terms — but made it clear he relies heavily on a power beyond this world.
"God has always been a part of my life," he said. "Faith is accepting things unseen. It's hard to believe in sometimes, to listen to what man says. We can be tricky with words. We all can. We hear, `You're too small. You can't do this. You can't do that.' You don't have too many more people to believe in than your faith. So my relationship with God is the ultimate. I don't claim a religion. I claim there is a higher power. There is a higher power I go to. And I'm emotional when I go to him. It's the ultimate conversation. There are no bad conversations with him."
Talk like that can make some people skeptical. Those who lost loved ones in Atlanta 13 years ago likely would question his sincerity. Just hours after the end of a Super Bowl where Lewis was merely a spectator, he and several companions were involved in an altercation with another group outside a nightclub. Two men were stabbed to death. Lewis was accused, at the very least, of covering up the role of others and ditching a white suit he was wearing (it has never been found). He eventually pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice in exchange for his testimony against two others. They were acquitted, while Lewis received probation and a $250,000 fine from the NFL.
The following year, when the Ravens won their first Super Bowl and Lewis was designated MVP, Disney broke from its tradition and asked quarterback Trent Dilfer to proclaim, "I'm going to Disney World." Continued...
But, in fairness to Lewis, he has largely stayed free from controversy since that gruesome night — deer-antler spray notwithstanding — managing to transform his image from renegade to elder statesman. After he announced his retirement, shortly before the Ravens began their surprising run through the playoffs, he even got a big hug from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
"He taught me how to be a pro," Baltimore running back Ray Rice said. "It's a simple saying, but there's a lot that comes with being a pro. He's also taught me how to be a man as well. At the end of the day, when he announced his retirement, he put it into perspective by saying, `There's life outside of football.' The life outside of football is being a man, and that was really special for me because it just meant the world to know that this man took his time, not only to embrace me, but he took me under his wing and showed me how to do this thing."
No matter which Ray walks off the field for the final time Sunday, Lewis is content with his legacy.
"I get to leave on my terms," he said. "That's the ultimate."
