Your fabric choices have helped to customize the style of the room. Now it's time to add some innovative functionality to it. These carefree options empower you with the ability to further determine how and when light enters the room, as well as how you raise and lower the shade. And because privacy is a major function of Levolor Roller Shades, these options enable you to control the amount of privacy you desire.
All Roller Shade fabrics are also available in Panel Track for perfect coordination throughout your home.
For a clean, sleek appearance that conceals the roller shade hardware, upgrade to a fabric covered valance, available in Standard or our new Cassette valance.
The addition of scalloped hems with decorative trims or fringes is a creative way to add style to your shade. Scalloped hems add a tailored appearance - choose from 5 styles. Trim or fringes outline the scallop - both available in 7 colors.
Tips To Remember:
Use a steel measuring tape
Round down to the nearest 1/8" for width
Round up to the nearest 1/8" for height
See Product Specifications for more specific product info.
Sizes should always be provided in this format: Width x Height
On any measurement given, the factory does have a +/- 1/8 of an inch variance allowance.
Measuring for Roller Shades
Inside Mount Width
• Measure the exact width (left to right) of the inside edge of the window frame in three places (top, middle and bottom).
• Take the smallest of the three measurements to the nearest 1/8 of an inch.
• The factory will make the correct deduction from the total width to allow for brackets and correct installation. Roller shades have generally large deductions due to the nature of the product (roller and hardware) -PLEASE CALL FOR SPECIFIC FABRIC AND TUBE DEDUCTIONS. Fabric is usually minimally- 1 1/8" deduction or MORE from ordered width on inside mount . Please call if you need more information prior to ordering.
Inside Mount Height
• Measure the exact height (top to bottom) from the top inside edge down to the window sill in three spots across window.
• Take the largest of the three measurements.
Outside Mount Width
• Measure the exact width (left to right) of the wooden or metal window frame (outer edge) OR how wide you want the product to be.
• For Solar Shades or Roller Shades, make sure the measurement overlaps the window opening by at least 2" on each side to ensure light control and privacy.
Outside Mount Height
• Measure the top and bottom edge of window frame/trim. If no trim, be sure you provide the height you want the shade to be from top of the headrail to bottom of the bottom rail.
• Be sure to allow for coverage for light control and mounting hardware if mounting above window opening to wall surface. You will need 2 inches of surface area to mount above opening. Call us for further instruction if needed.

In-Progress At Daytona: "NASCAR Live" and Saturday Cup Practice on SPEED
The SPEED schedule begins on Saturday at 10AM Eastern Time with a thirty minute edition of NASCAR Live.
The main host for this program is John Roberts, although SPEED has multiple announcers on-site and several sets operating simultaneously.
On-track practice for Sprint Cup cars begins at 10:30AM and will be followed by another edition of NASCAR Live at 12:30PM.
After lunch, practice resumes for the Cup Series at 1:30PM, and SPEED ends the afternoon portion of this live coverage with a final wrap-up edition of NASCAR Live at 3PM.
Normally a general news program updating events at the track and happenings in the garage, today will be different. It should be interesting to see if SPEED is drawn into the media feeding frenzy about the Tony Stewart vs. Kurt Busch accident. The network did a good and balanced job Friday dealing with the events.
This post will serve to host your comments about the TV coverage. This is not a blog about racing, but the TV and media coverage that surrounds it. This should be a good example of watching a network balance the features and events they have prepared in advance with the breaking news about possible sanctions on two drivers and other teams working to prepare cars that arrived at the speedway during the night.
To add your post, simply click on the COMMENTS button below and follow the simple instructions. Rules for posting are on the right side of the main page. There will be a new post for the first edition of Raceday prior to the program airing at 6PM. Thanks again for stopping by The Daly Planet.

3 minutes in, and my first thoughts after yesterday are:
More Hermie Sadler, Randy Pemberton, Adam Alexander, Wendy Venturini, and Bob Dilner.....LESS Jimmy Spencer and Kenny Wallace

Hermie grows on me every day, he seems much more comfortble than last year and doing a good job at the desk with JR. Hopefully Speed keeps expanding his role this season. Ahhhhhh here comes practice more cars on the track, they did a great job last night hopefully they keep it up.

I gotta give SPEED credit for even showing these two practice sessions. It will be interesting to see how they fill the time since it is single car runs.

Well, now SPEED has adopted one of my biggest pet peeves from ESPN practice coverage (when ESPN actually covers practice).
They roll the speeds at the top of the screen but take the graphic down when they go to an interview - so basically they never get to the end of the list.
SPEED did not do this last year and ESPN did and it drives me crazy.

Disappointed that Dick didn't ask Tony about the alleged 'punch' that he threw at Kurt while in the hauler.

Jim Hunter and those folks are making a big deal of the oh-so-manly code: "Whatever goes on in the NASCAR hauler stays in the hauler", so Tony and Kurt may have been told not to say, and the networks not to ask.
Jim Hunter doesn't mind hinting about it though (or refusing to deny that it happened) to make everyone keep talking. Good PR man.

Earlier Steve Byrnes referred to Bobby Labonte as "the 2000 Sprint Cup Champion."
That rewriting of history right there is the best example of the reason the championship trophy needs to be named after the France family - the France Cup or Bill France Cup - and not the current sponsor, which keeps changing and will probably change again within the next year or two.
Other than that, great coverage today and yesterday from SPEED.

"The Sprint" cup talk is annoying...what about those other sprint cars?
Won't this cause confusion? AND with the big layoffs at SPRINT, next year could be 'name change'.
Sheesh...It's too bad it's going to change name for all the series every couple of years. I feel for the fans that simply knew it as WINSTON cup for umpteen years. :-)

Diller is doing a good job hosting this Nascar Live. It's nice having some inside info courtesy of those Pemberton boys. And how about Nascar calling Squires to correct the change/no charge to recertify a wrecked car.

Interesting choice to cover the second practice session from the Hollywood Hotel. I wonder why they aren't using the regular booth, or even using that botth above pit lane?
Maybe you can help us out with this one John.

- Brett Baldeck said...
*I ment the booth above victory lane.
- February 9, 2008 at 1:35 PM
- Daly Planet Editor said...
That is a shared facility that was used when the SPEED Stage was not on-site and the announce booth in the tower had not been constructed.
Now that the Hollywood Hotel is also on-scene, both SPEED and Fox will move to their full time sets.

ATTN: SPEED Production Folks:
I understand that you are justifiable proud of your HD efforts.
HOWEVER, many, many millions of us still have 4:3 SDTVs.
You cannot simply put everything in 16:9 format from now on. (Example: The Daytona 500 qualifying cartoon).
You must encode it with letterboxing for 4:3 viewers, or the video is cropped left and right for us.
Please, show you know what you're doing and fix this problem immediately.

My impressions of the Speed coverage on Saturday:
- Rutledge Wood needs to go. I'm sick and tired of the ridiculous goofy garbage! There is no point to any of this crap... and it's not even funny! Speed's not helping the cause for getting other media outlets to take NASCAR more seriously when one of the on-air 'talent' roles during their NASCAR broadcasts is a guy that runs around all day acting like a clown for no conceivable reason or purpose.
- The first practice session coverage was good. It was simple and they just kept the cameras and the talk focused on the track.
- I didn't like the second practice coverage. They seemed to replicate some of the poor elements of the ESPN practice coverage from last year. The announcers should be in the broadcast booth so they can see the track, not in an infield pit studio. Secondly, there was WAY too much on-camera time for the announcers in the pit studio while cars were practicing on the track. Practice coverage should not be about seeing Joy, McReynolds, and Waltrip's faces all day long. It should be about seeing what is going on on the track. It was especially noticeable during the one part where Darrell was trying to describe what he was seeing on his monitor about the attitude of Kyle Busch's car. Unfortunately the director was showing us Darrell's face on the entire screen and the viewers had no clue what he was talking about.
Speed, please keep it simple and just show us and talk about what is going on on the race track. There's plenty of time for full-screen camera shots of the announcers and reflections upon events of past days and years during the dozens of hours of NASCAR Live programming that takes place while the track is empty.

I really enjoyed the SPEED coverage I was able to see this AM and early PM - in particular Ken Squier with Dave Despain. However, the first thing that came to mind every time Dave D. showed up on screen was where has WINDTUNNEL been for the last 9 weeks or so. I do not recall anything SPEED aired in WINDTUNNEL's Sunday night spot that was worth watching. I can understand and appreciate some time off for Dave D. - but when Jay Leno is off, the Tonight Show is still on. Some of Dave's interviews have been almost classic, were right there available, and, in my view, would have been a perfect bridge between racing seasons.

Do not have any HD feed on DishNetwork, though I hear DirecTV has it. Has anyone heard whether Dish plans to add this to their programming?
I have been debating switching to DirecTV to get Hotpass anyway. if Dish doesn't have plans to add, this might be the deciding factor for me.

Major thanks to Speed Channel by the way for televising this ARCA race at Daytona. I just wish you could provide a similar commitment to the rest of the ARCA schedule. Unfortunately most of this year's races will not be televised, and many of those that are televised will be done with the dreaded tape-delay. It's a shame that we could see more ARCA races on TV 15 years ago in 1993 than we can today in 2008.
- February 9, 2008 at 5:26 PM
- SophiaZ123 said...
This ARCA race started out well but the inexperience of drivers caused a big one with 12 drivers that seemed to go on forever.
Still, I love the ARCA races and agree, it's a shame we will see LESS this year...blunder that decision.
I also hate to agree but SPEED IS ADOPTING some PeeSPU practices we have all griped about. I am stumped about why they would do that...guess I will not praise SPEED until I see a few races.
Also what good is practice and quals if they show the yapping heads all the time.
- February 9, 2008 at 5:39 PM
- stricklinfan82 said...
This race is going to run past 6:00 so I'm hoping they stick around and at least do a winner's interview.
- February 9, 2008 at 5:55 PM
- SophiaZ123 said...
Hey Stricklanfan
Were you as disappointed as I was they did not show the cars crossing the finish line? Once again the stupid camera producers (and ALL networks do this) CHOSE to go to the winning pit crews a few shots rather then show me where everybody else finished?
VERY disappointing.
Guess all JD's yapping and our seconding such bad camera was lost on SPEED. :(
They simply showed the unofficial results but I would've liked to have SEEN the other cars VISUALLY finish the race. Oh, well.
Well, at least SPEED gives us a winning interview when the race goes overtime. :)
Which is way, WAY better than ESPU.
Still the "one or two cars" crossing the finish line is HORRIBLE camera work.
- February 9, 2008 at 6:19 PM
- stricklinfan82 said...
Thank you Speed Channel for sticking around for a winner's interview and showing the final results of the ARCA race instead of rushing off to NASCAR Raceday immediately after the checkered flag. That extra 5 minutes or so they stuck around after the race didn't hurt anything so I hope other TV networks notice and do the same when they face similar situations later this year.
- February 9, 2008 at 6:20 PM
- stricklinfan82 said...
I totally agree with you about the finish of the ARCA race. They zoomed right in on the leader from turn 4 to the finish line and then showed the flagman waving the checkered flag from the flagstand... what's that all about?
Plus no graphics running down the finishing order as the cars tripped the line and they didn't show anyone other than the front few cars cross the line at the end of the race.
I guess we shouldn't be surprised though because this was probably the same Fox production crew that did the same thing all year in 2007. To them only the leader/winner matters on the final lap. SIGH.
- February 9, 2008 at 6:24 PM
- SophiaZ123 said...
thanks SFan
It can ruin a race after a couple hours of investment.
Like you I am glad they stayed for the interview but SOMEBODY at SPEED MUST BE TOLD and understand WE WANT TO SEE ALL THE CARS on the LEAD LAP (At least) go across the finish line. And DAYTONA is a gorgeous track.
A simple wide angle shot for a few seconds could have sufficed along with the finishing order grid.
Sigh....baby steps. I hope JD was watching this race.
I am afraid how the Shoot out will finish.
But I will have an opinion as I am sure you will!
- February 9, 2008 at 6:34 PM
- Steve L said...
I recorded the whole day just so I could stay far enough behind to FF through all the commercials. I just about got a blister on my finger from the FF button. Run a car, run a commercial, run a car, .....you know how it went. Too many commercials in that second practice session.
Way too much Despain today. Even though I respect Ken Squire, his dramatic style makes it seem a little overboard at times. He also learned NASCAR is listening to what he says and had to make an on camera correction.
Overall, it was still a great day just to have racing activities back on my TV. They did blow the finish of the ARCA/Remax race by not showing cars crossing the line. Still, so much better than ESPeeN.
- February 9, 2008 at 7:10 PM
- SallyB said...
If SPEED can wase time showing those stupid Rutledge tricks, then they need to shorten their air time. Too ad to se Speed using so many tight shots of only one or two cars for so much of the race, as it (just as with ESPN) gives you no sense of how the race is unfolding.
- February 9, 2008 at 7:42 PM
- Erik said...
I am happy to see SPEED evolve their practice coverage. I am sure they have sound reasoning to do so. There is much more going on during those sessions than just cars circling the track. The only issue I have is they are overplaying the Busch / Stewart incident.
- February 9, 2008 at 7:46 PM
- SophiaZ123 said...
Sadly, SPEED is 'picking up habits we hate from ESPU' which leaves many of us scratching our heads. :(
Wonder how many cars will cross the finish line TONIGHT.
Maybe we all need to chant/pray/burn candles/ smudge the house (Native American practice) to ask SPEED/Fox camera guys.
PLEASE more WIDE ANGLE SHOTS!
That's all we ask.
AND show the cars FINISHING the race. I know for a fact ther will be more than 1 or 2 cars in the Shoot out.

I've been a little out of the loop lately, but seeing Randy Pemberton and Ken Squier today felt like "old home week" for me. I remember the two of them from race broadcasts back in the late 80's or early 90's//. 1992 Daytona 500 to be exact. I'm thrilled they're back, or perhaps they never went away....

06 December 2017
By Viresh Harduth, Vice President: New Customer Acquisition (Startup & Small Business) at Sage Africa & Middle East
If you are a business owner, the holiday season means one of two things: it's either your busiest time of year (if you're in retail, for example) or your quietest (if you're in services). Either way, it's a stressful time, especially for small businesses as their first year is critical to their growth and survival.
No matter which camp you fall into, there are a few things you can do to prepare your business for the rush (or slowdown), so that you start 2018 on a high note.
If things are picking up…
If you own a business by the seaside – especially a store or restaurant – it's likely that you're gearing up for a manic few weeks. Planning is the key to success – and your sanity.
If things are slowing down…
Before you shut shop completely, use the last few weeks to prepare your business for the new year.
Here are some ideas:
Keeping the 'house' in tip-top shape:
Whether you're a start-up or a growing business heading into your busiest or quietest time, now is a good time to:
It will be January before we know it. Use the quiet time effectively to plan for the new year but don't forget your own downtime. Rest, relax, read a good book and spend quality time with your loved ones.
Soon, it will be all systems go again.

Lindsey's Legacy: Her Heart, Habits, Humility
Randy York's N-Sider Blog
The Official Blog of the Huskers
When the curtain came down on Lindsey Moore's last Devaney Center act Sunday, the best point guard in Nebraska women's basketball history made sure the last line in her postgame Senior Day speech was an assist, not a shot. Nearly 11,000 fans saw Nebraska's Big Ten championship loss to No. 7 Penn State, and nearly all of them stayed to watch Moore be honored with fellow senior Meghin Williams.
"Double Zero" used the occasion to offer some personal advice for "the best fans in the nation". After saying goodbye to the Devaney Center on Sunday night, Moore put in a plug for Big Red loyalists standing on their feet to buy season tickets at the new Pinnacle Bank Arena in the downtown West Haymarket Area. "Thanks Lindsey, director of marketing," deadpanned Connie Yori, who, less than 24 hours later, was voted Big Ten Conference Coach of the Year by her colleagues, who also voted Jordan Hooper first-team all-conference and Moore second-team all-conference - the same league award each received last year.
"All postseason awards are about teams more than individuals," Yori said, acknowledging that Moore's incredible stats include the honor of having played the most minutes of any women's player in Nebraska history and leading her teams to the most wins in Husker history. Moore's value, though, goes well beyond any statistic or number. Lindsey's legacy is rooted in her heart, her habits and her humility.
Moore Shows Her Heart in Every Game
I asked two fans in front of me Sunday why they thought Moore was getting such a sustainable standing ovation after the disappointment of losing a championship game. "Right here," one fan said, pointing to his heart. "That's what everyone loves about Lindsey - the heart she shows every time she takes the floor." Her heart is built from the habits she's formed since the day Moore arrived on Nebraska's campus. "Everybody wants to win, right?" Yori asked. "Everybody wants to win on game day and everybody wants to win in life. But not everybody is willing to put the time in to get better every day or to develop the work habits it takes to win. I think Lindsey leads by example every day in practice. We didn't lose a game in February - the toughest month in college basketball."
Such toughness starts at the point of attack, and Moore leads by example. She made 9-of-11 field goals Sunday and led the Huskers with 23 points, but Penn State repeated as Big Ten champion with a swarming defense that targeted Moore's ball-handling and Hooper's range of touches. And that leads us to the third "H" in Moore's character profile - her humility. She was her usual honest self in postgame analysis, heaping praise on Penn State shortly after she thanked Nebraska fans for their unwavering support "throughout our ups and downs."
Since it was the last women's game played in 37 years at the Devaney Center, Yori couldn't resist the nostalgia in her rear-view mirror. She remembers how fans gave the Huskers standing ovations even when they would lose by lopsided scores. They applauded "because we tried hard," Yori said. "There are a lot of wins and losses. But to me, the fans are what have made this place special. I truly believe we have the best fans in women's college basketball."
Moore, Hooper Make Teammates Better
Penn State Head Coach Coquese Washington, the media's choice for Big Ten Coach of the Year, said Nebraska has "two fantastic offensive players in Lindsey Moore and Jordan Hooper. They can get their shot whenever they want to, and they make tough plays. They make big shots, and they do a really good job of making their teammates better."
Nebraska's firepower has helped develop a rivalry between the two programs since Nebraska joined the conference. "It's a game that our fans enjoy watching," Washington said. "You have two teams that play similar styles and like to get up and down the court. I just think it's a great matchup. It's a fantastic basketball series, and it's fun to watch." Fun probably would not describe Nebraska fans who watched Penn State junior guard Maggie Lucas make a Devaney Center record eight three-pointers in her game-high 34-point performance. Respect was the more appropriate descriptor for a basketball savvy crowd whose collective groan grew louder with every long-range basket.
"This was a great environment to play in. They just have a great basketball culture here," said Lucas, who Monday was named 2013 Big Ten Player of the Year by both the league's coaches and the media. "It's great to see the amount of fans that come out and support women's basketball anywhere you go. It was a lot of fun to play here." The buzz inside the last women's basketball game at the Devaney Center was so palpable that about 8,000 early arriving fans gave a middle-aged man a resounding standing ovation for his three-point shooting prowess. He won a free night's stay in the downtown Embassy Suites at the same time Nebraska won the respect of the Big Ten's back-to-back champion.
Coach: Devaney Has NCAA Atmosphere
"In the NCAA Tournament, we're going to have to go on somebody's home court and win," Washington said. "That's what environments like this help. I love playing in the Big Ten. You get to go on the road, and this is an NCAA Tournament type of atmosphere." An atmosphere, I might add, that can work both ways. Penn State was the No. 1 Big Ten Tournament seed whether the Nittany Lions won or lost Sunday. Nebraska also had secured the No. 2 seed before tipoff. That means, barring upsets, the two teams could be headed to the Big Ten Tournament Championship game this weekend in suburban Chicago.
If that happens, don't dismiss Nebraska's chances to win, and please understand the importance Big Red fans might play, not to mention Nebraska's knack for being road warriors. The Huskers, after all, won seven of their eight Big Ten road games this season. And you know what the basketball gods say about beating the same team three times in one season. Nebraska may have lost its chance to share the conference title, but the Huskers can enhance their NCAA opportunities in a major way if they win the rematch.
Moore's leadership is contagious, and Nebraska's third-leading vote-getter on the All-Time All-Devaney team has added something to go with her heart, habits and humility ... the hunger to avenge a 74-70 double-overtime loss to Purdue in last year's Big Ten Tournament Championship in Indianapolis. Remember, that was the Huskers' fourth game in that tournament. This year, they only have to win three, and that means hope increases exponentially for the Big Ten's newest member. Since this is Nebraska's biggest chance to be a game-changer, I end with some advice of my own ... stay tuned. The excitement has only just begun.

Thank you for the ink. I am the middle-aged man (53) that made four three-pointers in a row to win the weekend at the Embassy Suites. It was a wonderful feeling to see and hear so many people cheering for me. I only wish I could have shared some of my shooting luck with Jordan. I enjoy your articles and look forward to next season with the ladies Sincerely, Bill Rethmeier, Crete, Nebraska

Beau was adopted from a shelter in January 2011, while he was living in a foster home. I had been looking to adopt for a while, and once I saw his face I knew he was the one! He loves playing and strutting his stuff in front of the ladies. He also enjoys photo shoots -- in this picture he is showing off his new Christmas bow-tie. Because I live far away from my family and only see them about every 6 months, Beau keeps me great company and has helped me get through some tough times. He also loves to travel, and sleeps in the front seat of the car (or on my lap!) on long trips. This week we will be driving from NJ to Maine for the holiday!

Smyrna Town Council unanimously approved an ordinance to amend zoning in the Central Commercial District Monday night at their council meeting.
The vote was 6-0, with Councilman Anthony DeFeo not at the meeting to vote.
The amendment allows for craft distillery and microbrewery establishments as permitted uses in the Central Commercial District. The amendment was previously approved by Planning & Zoning Review on Nov. 28. A public hearing was held prior to Monday's council meeting.
The ordinance was passed with a friendly amendment regarding the number of authorized special events per year. The ordinance had previously stated four special events were allowed per year, but some council members felt it would be unfair to limit a distillery to four special events per year.
Councilwoman Valerie White questioned limiting a distillery to four events per year: "Are other businesses in town also limited to four special events per year?"
Town lawyer Terry Jaywork said no, this rule was limited to breweries.
Councilwoman Regina Brown then pointed to a comment made by Police Chief Wil Bordley during the public hearing that he liked the idea of limiting the special events to four. Bordley said he didn't want to risk having special events every week and then having to deal with road closures or providing security.
During the discussion, Ron Gomes - one of the owners of start-up business Legacy Distilling - was asked to come up and answer some questions. Gomes, along with his partner Mike Rasmussen, are in the process of bringing a craft distillery to Smyrna.
Gomes asked the council to define what a special event would be as they hope to hold fundraisers and other possible events at their business. Council suggested an anniversary party would be an example.
As discussions continued, a friendly amendment was suggested to delete the number of special events but it was noted a special event would need to authorized by council.
The friendly amendment was approved 6-0 as was the ordinance.
After the meeting, Gomes said he feels great the zoning amendment passed.
"It's an important step for the town," Gomes said. "We can't close at the bank without it, it's a necessary component."

In the mid to late 19th century every region of America boasted of one or
more poets whose works reflected local history and folklore. Chances are that our
had read some of those poems during the course of their lives.
So, my challenge to my readers is this:
1. Find a poem by a local poet, famous or obscure, from the region one of
your ancestors lived in. It can be about an historical event, a legend, a
person, or even about some place (like a river)or a local animal.
2. Post the poem to your blog (remembering to cite the source where you found it.)
3. Did it inspire you to research the subject of the poem and how it relates to your
4.Submit your post's link here to me by November 22nd and I'll publish all the entries
on Thanksgiving Day!
My poem I chose was written by Patricia Neely-Dorsey. Her thoughts about the South brought back many memories to me. She is from the Tupelo area where I was born, next door in Booneville, MS. She has also lived in Memphis, where I am now. I would like to share her poem,
If you want a glimpse of Southern life,
Come close and walk with me;
I'll tell you all the simple things,
That you are sure to see.
You'll see mockingbirds and bumblebees,
Magnolia blossoms and dogwood trees;
Caterpillars on the step,
Wooden porches cleanly swept;
Watermelons on the vine,
Strong majestic Georgia pines
Rocking chairs and front yard swings
Junebugs flying on a string
Turnip greens and hotcornbread,
Coleslaw and barbecue
Fried okra, fried corn,fried green tomatoes,
Fried pies and pickles too.
There's ice cold tea that 's syrupy sweet,
And cool, green grass beneath your feet;
Catfish nipping in the lake,
And fresh young boys on the make.
You'll see all these things
And much, much more,
In a way of life, that I adore.

No one can deny the business sense that AT&T used when it locked up the iPhone from Apple as an exclusive back in 2007 when the phone first debuted. The iPhone has helped AT&T grow significantly since it debuted.
According to AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson, the partnership with Apple will inevitably end and ultimately the only differentiator between the wireless providers in America will be network quality. The exclusive agreement between Apple and AT&T is believed to end next year.
In Europe, O2 is facing the same problem as AT&T with its exclusive period ending. Apple is allowing O2 to keep the exclusive on the iPhone 3GS in the UK while opening the iPhone 3G up to other carriers. Reuters reports that AT&T added 1.4 million new subscribers in the second quarter and out of those subscribers about had more than 2.4 million iPhone activation during the quarter.
The prospect of losing the exclusive on the iPhone has to raise eyebrows at AT&T and with Wall Street. Research firm Pali Research issued a sell advisement on AT&T stock in June because it was believed to be losing its iPhone exclusive. At the same time, the research firm issued a buy order on Verizon, believed to be picking the iPhone up on its network.
Pali Research wrote in a report, "Our buy rating on Verizon is based on our view that its market share gains will lead to profit growth that tops other telecom companies and Wall Street consensus estimates. Our sell rating on AT&T is based primarily on our belief that its wireless business will enter a prolonged period of erosion after being propped up by the iPhone for the past two years."
Get a Free iPhone 3GS! Yes, that is correct! Stay away from the trouble of earning enough to pay for it for you can get it the simple way .... straight to your doorstep! Free! Interested? Then find out how to get a Free iPhone 3GS!

Monday Night TV Showdown Looms
While NASCAR fans always have fun watching racing on Sundays, those of us who like to talk about TV are looking forward to another exciting Monday.
This season has seen the balance of power shift from SPEED to ESPN2 on Monday nights, and it has not been pretty. The much anticipated transition from Inside NEXTEL Cup to the new This Week In NASCAR on SPEED has not quite gone the way the network intended. There is only one reason why.
His name is Allen Bestwick, and he was the longtime host of Inside Winston/NEXTEL Cup on SPEED. Bestwick has since migrated to ESPN. Now, after a first season of slogging through the trenches once again on pit road, he has emerged as the key piece of the ESPN NASCAR puzzle.
ESPN2 expanded the Monday edition of NASCAR Now to one hour in length early in 2007. This was a great idea. It promised to offer fans extended highlights of all three series and interviews with the drivers and personalities involved in the big stories of the weekend. Unfortunately, it turned into a one hour train wreck.
Eliminating both the Busch and Truck Series completely, the Monday hour instead turned into an exercise in pushing hype and sensationalism onto stories that simply contained racing action and the human dynamics that go with it. Sometimes, it was downright embarrassing.
This season, in continuing with ESPN's pledge of across-the-board support for NASCAR racing, things are heading in a decidedly different direction. Allen Bestwick now hosts a program with three panelists who talk about a wide variety of topics from the racing weekend. ESPN calls it the "roundtable" version of NASCAR Now.
This week, Bestwick will be joined by Rusty Wallace, Mike Massaro and Ray Evernham. Bestwick leads the panel through an informal session of watching highlights or interviews and then adding comments from their own perspective. In a very strange way, it is the ESPN version of the original Inside Winston Cup Racing that Bestwick hosted for SpeedVision.
Over at SPEED, it is Steve Byrnes who has been asked to come in and try to change one established program into another while fighting off the expectations of loyal viewers who yearn for Bestwick and the "old days." Byrnes has hosted all kinds of programs on SPEED, but nothing prepared him for the feedback from fans once This Week In NASCAR hit the air.
SPEED has re-focused this program using extensive pre-produced "features" that serve to de-emphasize the live conversation from the downsized panel of two. This week, Byrnes will be joined by Michael Waltrip and Greg Biffle.
Veteran fans know that this program was formerly driven by the personalities of the panelists. It is now driven by the pre-produced portions of the show and the extensive SPEED promotions featured throughout the program.
It clearly does not have the same dynamic, and the downsized panel of two puts Byrnes in the position of often adding his opinion as the "third voice."
SPEED is laying low as to why Kenny Schrader is not being featured on this series every week, and continues to rotate a group of panelists through the program. Chad Knaus has been the new member of the crew, but viewers have only seen him once.
This week should be interesting, as Waltrip and Biffle have personalities that have often relied on the veteran Schrader to mute any brewing conflict. Schrader was literally positioned between them, and viewers have seen Waltrip snap at Biffle as though he was a mis-guided teenager who happened to race.
While Byrnes has his hands full trying to build a new program from the ground up, Bestwick has taken what he used to do for SPEED and turned it into an exciting program that fans are still discovering. What Bestwick added to NASCAR Now was quite simply an element of fun.
ESPN still makes the cast wear suits and ties, but even though they look like Digger Phelps or Mike Wilbon, the NASCAR guys are not taking themselves too seriously. This is exactly the type of on-air style that fans enjoy.
One key element has been the contributions of the often overlooked Mike Massaro. His ability to contribute on any NASCAR topic as a veteran reporter has been outstanding, and Bestwick has stepped aside and let him have the spotlight.
As both programs prepare for a key Monday show before an "off week," it should be interesting to see what they decide to bring to the table as this Monday Night TV Match-up kicks into high gear.
NASCAR Now is up first on ESPN2 at 5:30PM Eastern Time, and This Week In NASCAR follows at 8PM on SPEED.

JD, What will happen to the Thursday-Monday editions of NASCAR Now this coming week due to the off week? Will they air due to the off week? Will there be a Sunday show to review the nationwide race next weekend? Will there be a Monday show next week?

JD- Monday NASCAR NOW has definitely become must see, at least for me. It seems to me that at this point in the season ESPN has about a 24 hour headstart over SPEED on putting its Monday show together. How much difference, if any, do you think this makes - and do you think Monday N-NOW might be somewhat less smooth once ESPN is carrying the Cup races?

As I call it for now, NN is hands down the place to be on Mondays & it just breaks my heart, because I LOVED Speed's show in the past. :( Folks that read this blog from ALL networks-take heed!! AB MAKES all the diff!! He is Nascar knowlegable from WAAAY back, and knows our history.

SPEED's CHANGE on MOnday nights makes me very sad, too.
But I realize
SPEED DOES NOT CARE.Again no Schrader this week just mentioned on WT.
STINKS but I won't be watching TWIN again.
It's just another trackside show with Steve Byrnes and pre taped re hashed video and VERY LITTLE conversation about the previous race.
Boring. Redundant. Junk.
even if the flu wiped out ESPN and Alan read notes and gave his opinions via phone to somebody about the race, ESPN Monday NN would wins hands down.
Somebody pay Schrader to go to NN at least a couple times a month.
SCRAP "the steve Byrnes show" and PLEASE give Wind Tunnel another night.His sunday show is way too short.
Nothing personal against Steve but we see him all day Friday and Saturday...enough. And TWIN is a shill to PROMOTE SPEEDS "own agenda" NOT what the fans have come to expect.
I get that now.

just the same thing others are saying Jd.
You spend 20 minutes talking about the next race your channel/affiliate carries and the times of SPEED programs on Friday.
If I am the only one 'here' that thinks this way I apologize but I have read 50 similar comments and thought a couple were here. I can no longer read the dark background on SPEEDS newly 'tweaked' horrible new site (vision challenges) but last I checked last week, dozens of postings similar to my comment here.
No disrespect and it's clear the show IS DIFFERENT than INC. Just stating the obvious though its announced at the start of each show HYBRID INC.
If I am that disrespectful, about a show I used to LOVE, that's constantly being compared to something that no longer exists, delete the post, I understand.

JD, lets get to the cold hard facts. Have all these changes for ESPN resulted in increased ratings for their NASCAR programs? Where can I see those numbers? That's just the basics of the business and I have not heard anything about the ratings. A show needs to be seen, to be considered a success.

"your channel/affiliate carries and the times of SPEED programs on Friday."
You just have a problem with the promos? I don't see why that is such a big deal in your view. SPEED has always had them, TWIN or not. 24/7. In fact EVERY channel has them!

Ken Schrader is definitely critical to TWIN - not just his knowledge and insight, but his humor and he makes Michael Waltrip better. Kenny is willing to and can poke fun at MW like no one else can. Maybe his recent motorcycle trips with Kyle Petty have been a factor in his not being on TWIN.
I assume a big reason for N-NOW is to generate interest (viewers) for the races themselves, and from what I read ratings are up. Even if N-NOW contributes to increased viewers for Cup races on FOX, that should have some carryover effect to Cup races on ESPN - IF TNT does not drive too many fans away.

To me there's still no "Showdown" on Monday nights.
Last year Speed's Monday night show was must see TV for me and the thought of watching ESPN's joke of a Monday night show was laughable.
Now things have completely turned around. ESPN's Monday night show is must see TV for me and the thought of watching Speed's Monday night show is completely laughable.
I give ESPN all the credit for turning around the Monday Night NASCAR Now. The new roundtable format and the addition of Allen Bestwick were brilliant moves as far as I'm concerned.
Unfortunately Speed dropped the ball with their new "NASCAR for newbies" program that has replaced the great Inside Winston/Nextel Cup franchise. I gave the first few episodes a chance but it has way too much of a "NASCAR 101 - today's lesson is the track named _____" feel for this veteran race fan to watch anymore. I know all of these tracks and I've seen tons of races on all of them, so I have no interest in watching a program that caters to new fans by giving in-depth track descriptions, drivers' comments about their likes/dislikes of the track, and video packages giving history lessons on what prior races at the upcoming track looked like.
I can see where new fans could enjoy all this new information... but I'd have to believe that even they will be turned off by this format when the Cup Series returns to most of these tracks in the fall and they're hearing the same track information and getting the same history lesson all over again. Hell they could just replay the first 20-30 minutes of the California and Bristol episodes and re-air them for the preview shows for the August/September races at those tracks. All they need to do is add highlights of the spring Cup races that just happened and they'll be all set.
Even the new feature pieces at the end of the broadcasts are senseless. Those feature stories are always very outdated and are filled with old information. What have we seen so far... the Petty Enterprises move from Level Cross 4 weeks after the fact and KHI hiring Jack Sprague to drive their second truck... 3-4 weeks after the season started?
It's a shame that Steve Byrnes got thrown into such a bad situation here. No host - Allen Bestwick, Mike Joy, Dave Despain, John Roberts, any other name that you can think of - and no expert panelist - Michael Waltrip, Ken Schrader, Johnny Benson, Tony Stewart, whoever - could make this show work as far as I'm concerned. It's a terrible format and I won't be watching.
Congrats ESPN, you have already won the "Monday Night Showdown" in 2008 as far as I'm concerned.

Au contraire! You pick and choose what you read from my writings.
I enjoy WTunnel (show's too short)
I loved the old INC and the one with Dave Despain. It was a show of ad libs compared to TWIN.
I love the guys in the booth on FOX, but would've liked a run down on the drivers (like radio since tech glitches continued)
ESPN has been a fabulous turn around and the Monday night NN round table is must see!! ESPM Race booth guys have great chemistry now. Enjoy Brad D and Rusty in the round table with AB.
I enjoyed the F1 race minus the two minute loss of feed...exciting changes in F1 races and so many spin outs, it was chaotic..hope that improves for racers sake.
THRILLED about OW series. It should make for good tv.
DW should've left the booth early but loved his getting the MD car. SWEET moment and a surprise for me to witness. :-)
Loved the classy UNDERSTATED way Dale Jarrett left, but I take it, that is how he wanted it. I look forward, greatly, to his being in the tv booth.
So stop ripping on me behind the "anon" and leave me alone.
I call it like I see it and am a straight shooter.
NOBODY was worse on ESPN than I (well maybe stricklanfan?) but hey, they improved a lot and I give them kudos for the steps they have taken so far. I compliment often times but you are too busy posting drive by postings to folks you don't like.
JD, these anons with their moments of glory to rip on MANY POSTERS here is really getting old. We know you have your personal troll but the sniping comments at others is getting hard to ignore.
I may be critical on tv but I try not to EVER make PERSONAL SNIPES at posters just for my own pleasure. :(

I second this. JD, I have never seen a ratings report for NASCAR Now, Not this year, not last year.
Not even a ballpark figure.
Couldn't one of your contacts provide a news release with ratings to the media? It would also be nice to know how it compares with other ESPN2 programming or daily sports shows like Baseball Tonight, College Game Night, NBA Tonight. I know NN must not do as well in ratings as the college football show, because NN was booted back a half hour last summer for it, and Jim Rome is on at 6:30 right now, NN's original time slot in 2007.
SPEED, which released Truck ratings recently, should do the same with TWIN. I've seen ratings released for NASCAR RaceDay and INC in the past, but not for a couple of years. The number I see right now is 388,000 viewers for the premiere of INC post Daytona in Feb. 2006, which was a 46 percent jump from the same show in 2005.
Until someone sees fits to release those types of figures for NN and the new TWIN, I take the "success" of NASCAR Now compared with TWIN with a grain of salt. It's a much improved show, but if it doesn't pull in viewers, ESPN isn't going to be pleased.

The Speedvision IWCR had the perfect formula, until the self proclaimed boy genius from FOX came in and dumped Benson, bestwick, the show's original producer and put "his mark" on the show. It has never recovered.
Now, in TWIN, we see the results of a media company(I read that it is run by a former grocery store chain marketer) attempt to fix something that was not, originally broken.
Man oh man, does NASCAR have problems , on and off the track!
ESPN has finally recognized what FOX did not-the high value of Bestwick. Give NN and Bestwick 4 weeks, and the ratings will definitely tell the story

I have to work tonight but if I was at home watching television I would not be watching Speed.
No Schrader equals no viewer. At 8pm Eastern I would be listening to Tony Stewart Live on Sirius "The Wax Smoke Edition"

BTW - I don't think we are going to see ESPN release any kind of ratings for NN. This is a non-primetime support show intended for the DVR or the VCR.
At 5:30PM in the East and 2:30PM out West, the network understands that unless the show heads for a recording device of some kind, the original air will not generate any significant numbers.
In the sports TV world, they call this "support programming" and it is usually intended to target the same advertisers who participate in the big events (like races) and expand their on-going marketing campaigns.
I dropped a line to ESPN about ratings, so we will see what the response is about NN.

Thanks for taking the time to ask ESPN about ratings.
I have to disagree that an airing at 5:30 (or 6) EST couldn't or shouldn't generate significant numbers because Pardon the Interruption (5:30 PM) and Around the Horn (5 PM) do just that on ESPN (main). Those two shows actually get more viewers watching live than Sportscenter.
ESPN should also have access to DVR numbers for NASCAR Now - which means within one week of an episode airing they should have one set of ratings (live + watched on DVR within 3 days). Within three weeks they should have the final combined ratings for an episode (live + watched on DVR within 7 days).
Here's an ESPNmediazone.com release from Jan 2007 to demonstrate what kind of numbers afternoon programming can get:
The weekday afternoon pairing of Around the Horn and Pardon the Interruption continue to grow their audience. This year, the two combined for an average of 788,000 homes, up 11% from last year (708,000). The fourth quarter was the most-watched quarter ever for both shows. PTI has seen year-to-year household growth in 16 of the last 17 quarters, and ATH has done so in 12 of the last 13 quarters.

As far as this viewer is concerned, I don't even bother to DVR TWIN anymore. It's not a "Showdown". Maybe it was for the first couple of weeks, but TWIN has been spitting out teeth for several weeks now after they got them kicked in by NN.
ESPN got the Monday edition of NN right this year. The current panel is great. AB is simply the best at what he does. Ray, and I know some people don't like him because of the Crocker mess, is getting better every week. I have not been a Rusty fan when he was in the booth, but on this type of show he is great. And Mike offers his own unique point of view on the various topics. I'd like to hear more from him. He's certainly paid his dues.
I find it hilarious that Speed is getting their butts kicked on Monday nights by the very guy they let go, AB. He is obviously the heart and soul of the Monday night version of NN.
I'd guess Schrader has not been on TWIN because of his motorcycle ride with Kyle. Or maybe he's just burned out with Mikey's act like some of the rest of us are. I agree with a previous poster that SB can't save this show and in it's current format I don't think AB could either. Speed needs to admit this show isn't what most fans want to see and just regroup and start over. Concede Mondays to NN and go for a one hour show previewing the coming weeks race on maybe Thursday night. Try to create a niche there. ESPN has Mondays wrapped up with NN.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! I've been thinking this since the first show with Dave Despain, Mr. Bobble Head. The chemistry Allen, Michael, Kenny, and Johnny Benson had was fabulous. When one or two couldn't make it, the special guests were a nice change of pace and it made me appreciate the regular panel more! SPEED doesn't know what they're missing without Allen!

Your spitting out teeth comment about TWIN made me laugh. I had never heard things worded that way. :-)
I guess I thought more like TWIN was shooting off their toes one at a time, along with flocks of viewers! It's been painful for some of us to witness. :(
If Schrader was ever PROMO'd as a guest on NN ahead of time, I bet the DVR and VCR settings woul reach and all time high!!!
Schrader just has that "it" factor for many of us, whether he was in the recent race at all. And besides, they no longer discuss the PREVIOUS RACE on TWIN,for more than a few sentences, so KS would still be a great fit, imo, IF that were still a talk panel show which it ain't.
But it's clear he is off SPEED and most of us, though still whiny, are moving forward. My timer is set for NN at the odd hour of 5:30.

I don't consider it a showdown... if they aired at the same time...then yes...but they don't...so you are able to watch both if you desire.... As long as Alan is on the first one I'll tune in... as long as Mikey and or Shrader show up on the second...count me in!
Seeing Alan does make me long for the old days though...

I never saw INC, but I have seen some TWIN shows. They just seem so out of place with Trackside and Raceday, which are both excellent shows (from what I have seen). I do wonder what the purpose of TWIN is. It is not a highlights show. Not an opinion show or roundtable. Not really a news show. So what is it? Also, do they really have to mention INC each and every week? If the viewers can't work that out for themselves, then they need to re-think.
I feel no-one could make this work, and I have been sitting here thinking why, and I just don't have the answer.
I like Byrnes. He's one of the best reporters, a decent play-by-play guy and good enough on Trackside. I can take or leave Mikey, but Schrader would be fun, or Kenny.
On the flip side, Monday Nascar Now is well worth an hour. AB is the mainstay and makes the show. Rusty is back to his old outspoken self. Even Brad is OK on it. I'm not sure why everyone has a problem with Ray - he's not the first bloke to stray. He is doing a pretty good job, and is getting more comfortable and outspoken by the week.
AB 1. Speed 0.

Note to NASCAR Now: Unless I'm mistaken, Harvick will be co-hosting Tony Stewart's satellite radio program tonight. It would have been good to point that out (if I remembered it correctly.)

I used to think that Bestwick was just another buffoon in the style of Michael Waltrip beause the former would let the latter essentially take over the show with his feeble attempts at being glib. Clearly Alan is a consumate professional and, given the forum, and direction, by the suits at ESPN, he has demonstrated that he can indeed chair a intelligent discussion.
Speed needs to get rid of Waltrip, but, since his brother is the top dog analyst on sister Fox, that is not likely to happen. I stopped watching the various SPEED iterations of NASCAR because of the junjior Waltrip's useless prattering.
I am in agreement with one of the other posts here asking for more Wind Tunnel. It was a loss when SPEED took Dave Despain off a more or less nightly stage and relegated him to Sundays only.

Last week Stanczyk was combing through the LDS Library in Salt Lake. I was perusing the Tumlin parish (LDS Microfilm # 939955). Whilst I was in 1763 covering the Death Records, I found my current Embellishment (or is it an Oddity).
Now in the older Latin records, the Latin paragraph and not the Latin Box Format, it is not uncommon to see the local priest embellish the new year. They usually write the number and perhaps adorn it with some dots around the digits or some small doo-dad or dingbat (in modern parlance).
But clearly in 1763 this priest had a lot of free time and the Creative Spirit overcame him.
Notice the two skull & crossbones. Each is surrounded by floral designs. This seems to this jester to be some kind of All Souls Day motivation whereby the cemeteries are adorned with flowers and the deceased are celebrated.
I have to wonder do other European countries have such Embellishments in their church books too or is this a uniquely Slavic predilection?

Get out the tissues, today we have ourselves our last Hotel Chocolat review from their Summer 2011 collection. Luckily for you guys I have saved one of my favourites until last. From the off it was all to obvious that this Go Bananas slab had all the makings of a Hotel Chocolat classic and it certainly had my banana loving Mother excited at the prospect of trying it. The descriptor of 'milk chocolate and banana flavoured white chocolate' left little to the imagination and certainly didn't temper our sky high expectations.
You may have seen that Hotel Chocolat have treated me recently to some of their 500.0g slabs. This 'Go Bananas' offering came in the smaller 200.0g size, though it still came across as just visually impressive with some grand design work with it's swirled chocolate and yellow covered splodges. Again I had minor issues with the practicality of the breaking up of the slab, and it's non-fresh sealed paper based material, but hey, who am I kidding the chocolate lasted less that 48 hours once opened anyway.
So with it's milk and white chocolate split was this a story of two halves? Well no not really .... both were incredibly tasty :D You will see by my photo above that it was the 40.0% house milk that made up the slight 60:40 majority at least visually. This was perhaps slightly misleading as the yellow squiggles where also white chocolate so carried the banana flavouring across both chocolate types. In terms of taste and texture this slab was just fantastic, and exhibited some amazing real tasting fruity flavours within it's always delightful thick melt. The milk chocolate had a more cocoa focused flavour base versus the creamier, vanilla noted white. What was consistent across both chocolate types were the incredible banana flavours which were created by the small specs of dried banana and the flavourings present in the white chocolate. For a fruit flavoured chocolate it was surprisingly satisfying - that's not to say it didn't disappear in double quick time.
Overall Hotel Chocolat have managed to sign off the summer season with one of their best efforts with this 'Go Bananas' slab more than meeting expectations. Compared to some of the other offerings I've reviewed over the past few months this was one of the simpler in terms of proposition (See Cherry Pop HERE). I think it was this simplicity of just being banana flavoured milk and white chocolate that bore dividends - this wasn't one of those chocolates that needed the full bells and whistles. As I said above, both chocolate types were as tasty as each other, though I can see white chocolate fans really taking to the white with the dried banana crisps just that little bit more prevalent. It seems ridiculous I bother adding a recommendation sentence in here ... what the heck :D ... highly recommended with two thumbs up for you banana fans.

With the firing of Joe Paterno at Penn State yesterday, the Golden Age of College Football is now officially over! Coach Paterno was the last remaining giant of College Football. He strode the entire era with all of the other giants:
Bo Schembechler, Woodie Hayes, Bud Wilkerson, Darrell Royal, Paul "Bear" Bryant, Ara Parseghian, and Bobbie Bowden.
Joe Paterno won more football games than any of those. This jester is a Michigan WOLVERINE booster and has been so since I was a little boy. My fandom of College Football spanned Joe Paterno's whole career (as head coach of PSU) and a bit more. So I had respect for Joe Paterno as well as all of these other GIANTS of College Football. I still have respect for the good works of Joe Paterno. I understand Penn State University's dilemma in dealing with this crisis. I feel for the victims and I feel for the PSU administration, students, and the football players — but the Nitany Lion share of my sympathy does go for the victims. This tragedy has a long way to go, to play out. My prayers go out to the victims and their families. I hope they get the Legal Resolution they need and deserve. I am appalled at how this Sandsuky fellow's alleged actions could fell such a legend (who is not guilty of any wrong doing — just not legendary in dealing with the tragedy that has happened during his tenure). There will be no justice in this story, just a long delayed legal resolution.
I am blogging because this is a catharsis for my feelings on this matter. It is a stunning revelation! I am hopeful that Joe Paterno does not let this ignoble end to his career, define him. It was not his actions that caused the crisis (perhaps his inactions allowed this crisis to lengthen). Joe Paterno is defined by his integrity, his body of work, and his family, friends and his faith.
This jester would prefer NOT to think ill of such a man. Joe, please, say it ain't so. I will lament his demise. I will lament at how his focus on his work let this very human tragedy to continue. I will lament for the children who were the victims. Perhaps that is how every Age ends — in the lamentations and sufferings caused by petty, little people whose actions demeaned these boys and somehow also felled a GIANT and ended an era.

Each picture is of me on the day given (although the "day" extends until I go to bed--and if I pull an all-nighter, I get to pick when the day ends, folks--like I'm gonna pull an all-nighter at this stage in life). I will give credit if the picture was not taken by me. If you get a picture of me and get it to me before I post that day's picture, I'll try to use it. There is no real purpose behind this other than it amuses me to behave as if I'm anything close to photogenic.

My view
Welcome to 'Bird's Eye View'!
When I was 18 my father handed me a Nikon and told me to get in the car. We drove through sleepy little Iowa towns and down winding gravel roads. He started me on what will be a life long journey of seeing the world through the lens of my camera.
To me photography is an art. The art of capturing a moment or a natural expression is what I love to do. I will give you direction and then find your personality within that pose.
What I see through my lens is no different than what you see every day - the only difference is I have the ability to stop time and provide you with those memories.
Contact me at katie (dot) reints (at) gmail (dot) com to inquire about a session.
...or find me on facebook!

Last weekend, Columbus High School Mighty Cardinals (Columbus, Texas) team member Derrick Hayes was preparing for sweet victory — but, despite his win, the excitement was ripped away after he was disqualified for making an apparently unacceptable gesture.
His offense? His father, KC Hayes, claims that Derrick was punished for offering up a simple praise to God while crossing the finish line. WFAA-TV has more:
As he was crossing the finish line, Derrick Hayes pointed up to the sky. His father believes he was giving thanks in a gesture to God.
"It was a reaction," father KC Hayes said. "I mean you're brought up your whole life that God gives you good things, you're blessed."
Columbus ISD Superintendent Robert O'Connor said the team had won the race by seven yards. It was their fastest race of the year.
Though O'Connor cannot say why the student pointed, he says it was against the rules that govern high school sports. The rules state there can be no excessive act of celebration, which includes raising the hands.
So, Derrick and his team were apparently punished over an action that was perceived as being an "excessive act of celebration." While it's true that a prayer or sign of praise is, indeed, an act of exuberance, if the father's account is accurate, then the move was hardly self centered or overtly showy; regardless, it's still a violation of the rules.

In a plea agreement, former LaGrange Town Clerk Michael D. Rowlison entered a guilty plea Monday in LaGrange County Circuit Court.
In a plea agreement, former LaGrange Town Clerk Michael D. Rowlison entered a guilty plea Monday in LaGrange County Circuit Court.
Rowlison, 66, of LaGrange, was sentenced by Senior Judge Walter Palmer to serve one year each on two Class A misdemeanor counts, suspended.
Rowlison's original charges included two Class D felony charges of theft and a Class D felony charge of official misconduct (theft) while performing his duties as town clerk.
Official charges were filed Nov. 28 by Special Prosecutor Tom Wilson of Angola, Ind.
According the plea agreement entered Monday, a fourth charge of conversion, a Class A misdemeanor, was added. The charge of official misconduct was dropped from a Class D felony to a Class A misdemeanor and the two other felony counts were dropped.
Rowlison also was ordered to serve 24 months probation, pay court costs, probation fees and restitution to the town of LaGrange, and serve 120 hours of community service, and is prohibited from holding public office for at least 10 years.
Rowlison, who had serve as LaGrange Town Clerk/Treasurer since 2000, resigned in December. Laurie Miller, who was named to serve as interim, was appointed Friday by Republican caucus to fill the position of clerk/treasurer.
LaGrange Town Council President Mark Eagleson said most of the items taken by Rowlison were recovered. The council was notified and was in agreement with the prosecutor's change of charges.
Rowlison was arrested Nov. 13 at his home, following an internal investigation, which was forwarded to the LaGrange County Sheriff's Department for further investigation.
According to an affidavit for probable cause, Rowlison purchased a portable battery pack and a Gorilla lift using a credit card belonging to the Town of LaGrange and later took those items to his home for personal use without permission or authorization.
Rowlison admitted to investigators that he had taken the property, defrauding the town. Rowlison could not say how much property he has taken, but said he had done so during the past three to five years.
