Perlman on NCAA: Something Has to Give
Randy York's N-Sider
As the college football world turns in places like Indianapolis and Lincoln, Birmingham and Chicago, and yes, even in rosy Pasadena and cotton-picking Arlington, the very definition of the NCAA is being challenged infinitely more than the governing body is being defended. Questions seem to multiply and answers are few and far between. On Wednesday, we met with Harvey Perlman in his office on campus to clarify a variety of issues. Nebraska's Chancellor, also the chairman of the 12-member BCS Presidential Oversight Committee, did not pile on the NCAA or the BCS. But he was candid in answering 22 N-Sider questions. Please join our conversation:
Q: Everybody seems to be attacking Mark Emmert. If you could give the president of the NCAA one suggestion, what would it be?
A: Slight chuckle for an opening question. I don't think I'm in position to know enough to give him any advice. I think the NCAA, for good reasons or bad reasons, has a very difficult public relations problem, and I think it is clearly impacting its ability to move forward and to support intercollegiate athletics, and I think that has to be addressed.
Q: In columns and videos and live radio and television, the media elevates the prospect of 65 Division I schools entertaining the idea of leaving the NCAA and starting a new association of its own. What are the odds of that happening?
A: I don't think the first choice of anyone would be to leave the NCAA because then we'd have to create another one, and I don't know how that advances the ball. But I do think those 65 or so schools that represent the major football conferences have pressures that other schools don't have. I think they have resources that other schools don't have, and I think trying to prevent us from expending those resources on behalf of student-athletes, so we're forced then to expend them on other things that I would regard as less important, is not a stable condition that can be sustained over time. So something has to give. I mean, I don't think we're going to spend the rest of the future of intercollegiate athletics being bound by rules designed by schools that are really not in the same resource league that we are.
Q: What are your views on Maryland and Rutgers joining the league?
A: Another smile. I think it was the right move to take Maryland and Rutgers in. They're strong academic flagship institutions. I think the Big Ten is advanced and advantaged by having exposure on the East Coast. We (Nebraska) have tried over the last several years to play on the East Coast at some time or another. We have a lot of alumni out there, and we see them when we play Virginia Tech or Wake Forest. They don't get to see us very often, and I think it's a good thing when they do get that chance. We have enormous numbers of alumni in the Washington D.C. area. That will be beneficial for us when we play nearby. I don't see many negatives other than change, which requires an adjustment. But they'll adjust to us, and we'll adjust to them.
Q: Is Big Ten expansion dead at 14 schools or not?
A: I don't know. Certainly the announcement a couple days ago that the ACC has done an assignment of rights seems to give them stability they might not have otherwise had. You have to remember that the Big Ten has not been the aggressor in any of this realignment. The ACC has been the primary aggressor here, provoking other conferences to protect their interests. So if the ACC is stable, that will certainly generate pauses in realignment fever. But I don't know if it's dead or not. Even when Nebraska came aboard, the Big Ten was not actively looking. They were just trying to explore what their interests were.
Q: Everybody seems to assume that those signing of rights are edicts. You're a lawyer. Are they etched in stone?
A: Laughter followed by candor. You know, it's only a matter of money. You can buy yourself out of most anything. The question is maybe the exit costs for an ACC school have gone up, but it's not like they've put chains around it. That makes negotiating efforts a little different now. I don't know if an assignment of rights could be enforced in this circumstance, exit or not. It would be an interesting question.
Q: The vote for presidents and chancellors is coming up to approve a new East-West Division and a nine-game Big Ten conference schedule to go with it. Isn't it almost automatic now that Purdue will join everyone else in the projected West with Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Northwestern and Wisconsin?
A: Another smile. That has the momentum, and I suspect it will pass.
Q: Saw in today's Lincoln Journal-Star that there may be bigger plans for Lincoln's ice center at the Pinnacle Bank Arena. The Big Ten is launching a new hockey league soon that includes Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State and Penn State, which is getting into the sport through the generosity of one donor's endowment. Any chance something like that can happen at UNL?
A:This smile is a dead giveaway for the expected answer. I saw that. We're not currently looking at men's hockey.
Q: Speaking of the Pinnacle Bank Arena, only 1,500 season tickets remain for men's basketball. Does that surprise you at all?
A: All the seats that are left are cheap seats, but they're great seats. It would be great to sell out a season, and a lot of things have come together for that. The arena is one thing, and there's a curiosity about it. When we did the financial projections a long time ago, when we were negotiating with the city over the lease we thought we could increase season ticket sales because when you look around the country, with a new arena, higher season ticket sales are normal. I don't think we expected the passion that we've gotten this year, and I think that, in part, there's a great deal of optimism with what Tim (Miles) and a new arena will do for recruiting. The emphasis is this is an opportunity for everyone to get in on the ground floor. You know how we've all watched for a long time those people who bought 50-yard line tickets in the 1920s and how successful that's been as an investment. It's like buying an insurance policy for future success.
Q: You've been inside the arena. What are you envisioning?
A: We won't know until we walk in, but it looks like it will be an extraordinarily fan-friendly venue. I know the architects and planners have traveled the country and visited every arena that's been built in the last few years. They want to learn from their mistakes, and I think our new arena is going to be a very engaging facility.
Q: UNL will have its own suite inside the new arena. If you could pick one musical group that you'd personally like to see and be entertained by, who would it be?
A: Healthy laughter here. I don't know ... I'm not going there.
Q: Oh, come on. You have someone in mind, right?
A: This one gets a medium-sized laugh. It'd probably be something country western or bluegrass. I'm a fan of both.
Q: If you could share one Perl of Knowledge with someone in the athletic department, who would it be and what would it be?
A: Measured response after long pause. I don't have any 'perls' to give them. I have a great deal of confidence in Shawn (Eichorst), and I think they're moving in the right direction. His attitude is what my attitude is. Take the good parts of tradition and build on it.
Q: Shawn has been in charge of the athletic department since New Year's. As you observe him both from afar and up close and personal, what are some of your professional assessments of what he brings to Nebraska?
A: He has very good common sense and a good understanding, as I predicted he would, about the culture of Nebraska Athletics. He's not intimidated by it. I think he understands it, and I think he respects it. I see him being cautious, but also working to make it better because every institution can get better.
Q: Many consider Jo Potuto to be one of the best, if not the very best Faculty Athletics Reps in the business. She seems to be highly respected and has a very strong national voice on almost any subject. What are your impressions?
A: You can attribute 98 percent of that to Jo. She is a strong voice. She has a capacity to come to decisions in an orderly and disciplined way and can strongly advocate that decision. I think she has a unique capacity to appreciate and defend proper values in education and an athletic context and yet also understands the pressures brought to bear at the level of intercollegiate athletics that we participate in. She ultimately ends up not only with my respect, but earns the respect of the athletic department.
Q: You made some comments at the annual Student-Athlete Recognition Banquet that honored 255 student-athletes for their commitment to academic excellence. How proud are you of that?
A: I think for anyone in my position as a chancellor of an institution that's known for a high-profile athletic department, you have to be able to answer the question: 'Why would you have that within the context of higher education?' That's what's going around in some of the conversations surrounding the NCAA and the (Ed) O'Bannon case and all the others. Why do we care? I think the academic success of student-athletes is why it makes sense to have these programs as a part of our university.
Q: Can you briefly describe your excitement about UNL and Husker Athletics collaborating on a first-of-its-kind research facility in the East Stadium?
A: I think there are enormous opportunities for collaboration generally. We're doing it across the university, and it's really good to have athletics become a more integral part of research initiatives at a public university. Our athletic department has a great tradition of advancing the science of training and the science of athletics. I think there are opportunities by bringing in the scientists across the university to collaborate.
Q: You have a State of the University address every year. What's the CliffsNotes state-of-the-athletic department that reports to you?
A: I think it's professional. I think it's successful on the measures that I particularly care about – the academic success of our student-athletes, the behavioral aspects of our student-athletes and the leadership qualities of our student-athletes. I think all of the department's values are correct, and I think athletics is moving to become a more integrated part of the university. To me, that's important.
Q: "College Football Playoff" will be the new name for the organization that you will help lead. Did anyone ask for your input?
A: Sincere smile here. No one asked me for my input, but I like the name. It does say what it is, and I think it suggests, unlike the BCS, that there is not some external organization out there with this elaborate bureaucracy that's running or driving college football. IT really is the conferences and the schools that are most likely to be involved at the upper levels. It is very simply a college football playoff.
Q: What do you think is the biggest misconception that people have on the role college athletics has in a university setting?
A: It seems to me, and this is common with anything, people ask: Is college athletics homogenous? Are problems at one school inherent in all of college athletics? Some are. There's competitive pressure. There's financial pressure. There are very good elements within collegiate athletics, including the academic success of student athletes. You also can't help but look at Title IX and see what's happened in women's athletics over the last decade. They compete. They exercise leadership. They don't play second fiddle to men. All great things were a product of opening up athletic competition. I think a lot of great things have happened, but right now we're in a period where some flaws are more visible and football gets put under a cloud.
Q: You're a volleyball fan. What about the Huskers moving to a reconfigured Devaney Center, along with men's and women's gymnastics and wrestling?
A: It shows that women's athletics has arrived, I guess. You can take any kind of university activity, whether it's an academic event or an athletic event, and with the right commitment, and the right investment, the right leadership and a little bit of luck, you can build something that is really significant. We can look at volleyball. We can look on our laser facility or the Digital Humanities Initiatives. Elements of greatness are all the same, no matter what you do or what field you're in. I think volleyball exemplifies that.
Q: If you had to pick your favorite athletic-related event during your tenure as chancellor, what would it be?
A: I come at all this in a different way. I enjoyed the 2002 Rose Bowl. I didn't enjoy the game, but it was kind of interesting to be a part of that, and, of course, we'd like to get back there again. The (13-12) loss to Texas for the Big 12 Championship was memorable. We played a lot better than people gave us credit for playing. Even though it ended controversially, I thought it was just a great environment and a great athletic experience. And I certainly remember when Nebraska won the 2006 national volleyball championship and Sarah Pavan became the most decorated player in NCAA history.
Q: Last question: As a former Nebraska college mascot, do you have a tip for potential students who might want to play the role of Herbie Husker or Lil' Red?
A: Another hearty laugh from the Chancellor visualizing himself clad as Harry Husker 50 years ago and carrying a brief case...I can think of one tip – Watch out for the beer bottles at Folsom Field! (P.S. The Huskers' next game in Boulder, Colorado, is set for Saturday, Sept. 7, 2019).

Rangers - 000 041 000 - 5 8 1Julio Lugo's inability to field his position and record the third out extended Texas's fifth inning and Ian Kinsler crushed a three-run home run to left.
Red Sox - 000 000 010 - 1 7 0
With two outs, Elvis Andrus's grounder to Lugo's right should have been scooped up for the final out. But the ball trickled under his glove -- he may have been screened by Marlon Byrd breaking for third, but the play was not that difficult -- and into left field. That scored the Rangers' first run. Then Kinsler stepped to the plate.
The Red Sox tried to rally in the eighth. Millwood was sent out after seven innings and 105 pitches. His fatigue was obvious. He fell behind Jason Bay 3-1 before Bay reached on an infield error. He walked Mike Lowell on four pitches. David Ortiz lined a single to right, scoring Bay and ending Millwood's night.
Eddie Guardado came in with the potential tying run on deck -- and slammed shut the door. He struck out Jason Varitek, got Jacoby Ellsbury to fly to left and retired pinch-hitter Rocco Baldelli on a fielder's choice.
Kevin Millwood (3.23, 142 ERA+) / Brad Penny (5.63, 86 ERA+)
Back at Fenway Park for two three-game series, against the Rangers and Yankees. After that -- 15 interleague games. One big question: How much time will David Ortiz get at first base?
The Red Sox finished their 6-4 road trip on a strong note. In the last run through the rotation (five games), the starters had a 2.01 ERA.
After an 8.66 ERA in April, Penny has pitched extremely well, for a fifth starter. He had an ERA of 4.17 in six May starts, tossing 36.2 innings and allowing 46 hits but only six walks, while striking out 27. Those hits gave opponents a .305 average against him, but he limited them to a .333 OBP.
Millwood had a good April, but slumped in May: 4.28 in six starts and an opponents line of .280/.354/.490.
Also at 7: Tampa Bay at New York (Price/Sabathia) and Royals at Blue Jays (Greinke/Romero).

« Bucs release OL Johnson after DUI arrest
Chiefs suspend Johnson indefinitely
Posted: October 27th, 2009 | NFL.com Staff | Tags: Kansas City Chiefs, Larry Johnson, Todd Haley
While Kansas City Chiefs coach Todd Haley is expected to address the recent comments by RB Larry Johnson during a news conference Tuesday, the team did release a statement saying it is continuing to investigate the situation.
In the meantime, Johnson it not being allowed to practice with the team or participate in team activities.
The Kansas City Chiefs and the National Football League are continuing to investigate the alleged comments made by Larry Johnson, the statement read. Until that review is complete, the Chiefs have instructed Larry to refrain from practicing with the Chiefs or participating in other team activities. A decision regarding Larrys status will be made once the investigation has concluded.
Johnson released an apology of his own Tuesday through his representatives.
First of all, I want to apologize to the fans of the Kansas City Chiefs and the rest of the NFL, Commissioner Goodell, the Chiefs organization, Coach Todd Haley, his staff, and my teammates for the words I used yesterday, the statement read. I regret my actions. The words were used by me in frustration, and they were not appropriate.
I did not intend to offend anyone, but that is no excuse for what I said. I also want to apologize to all the kids who view athletes as role models. I was not a good role model yesterday and hopefully I can become a better role model. We all make mistakes, and the challenge is to learn from them.
I will do my best to learn from this one as I move toward becoming a better person, teammate, and member of the Kansas City Chiefs team and community.
I FOR ONE SAY: ABOUT EFFIN TIME! Way to be Chiefs Org.

This is a recipe from Ahona who had said in a FaceBook comment two months back that she is in love with Methi and suggested her recipe of Sindhi Methi Machchi.
That "Methi Fish" remained in the subconscious strata of my brain. Now you might question the existence of "my brain" but we will not go there, we will just dwell on the subconscious where the "Methi Machchi" had sunk deep.
More than two months later, one hot, sunny morning in August I went on a quest to find that recipe. From my own FB page. It was a gargantuan task. Yes, "gargantuan". I have wanted to use that word for a while now and have never found the opportunity but this one fits, so we will stick with it. I searched high, low, through the timeline, through other people's vacation pics, through total stranger's family photos but could not find Ahona's recipe. There it was one fine day. Right there as a comment on one of the umpteen status messages I tend to post on my FB blog page. And then Boom, the next thing you know it was lost in the bottomless sink of FB status.
That kind of worried me. I mean here I am striving each day, spending precious time, trying to think up smart "Status Updates" and then couple months later ta-da there is no way to find them. My precious pearls of wisdom gone down the drain and without any copyright notice attached to them.
The very thought that there is some FB bin where my hard-worked on status is being messed around with someone's dumb updates like "Guess???" is totally freaking me out. Gawd, who ever wrote the code to this thing.
Anyway thank my stars that I finally found that recipe of Ahona's. By then it was almost lunch time and I had not moved a finger except on the scroll button. And then I realized that I did not have tomatoes or fresh methi which would have been good, errrm actually required ingredients for the dish. But I am an improvisation master and so I substituted tomatoes with yogurt, fresh green methi gave way to Kasoori methi and then I did a whole lot of other changes.By the time I was done and the house reeked of Kasoori Methi and the fish simmered in the beautiful gravy, I did not dare to call this dish "Sindhi". I have no clue on the "Sindhi"-ness of the dish, the "Methi" part is 100% fulfilled though.
This really is a beautiful dish with newer flavors to the same fish curry and was a hit at my home. Thank you Ahona and I am so glad you shared your recipe with me.
I used Tilapia Fillet for this fish. You can use fillet of any other firm fish. You can also use steak pieces of Rohu or Katla. Pomfret too would be a good choice.
I started off with two fillet which I cut in 3x2 pieces. Rubbed the fish pieces with
1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
1/2 tsp Red Chili Powder
1 tsp Coriander Powder
1 tsp Ginger-garlic paste
Little Lime juice
Heat 2tsp of Oil in a Fry pan.
Fry 3/4 cup of chopped red onion(half of a large one) and
about 8-10 clove of garlic(6 of the fat ones should be good) till onion is soft and browned.
Cool the onion-garlic. In a blender jar put
fried onion-garlic
1/4th cup thick yogurt
Blend to a thick paste with aid of little water.
Next add 2 tbsp oil to the same pan and heat. Shallow fry the fish till they are golden brown on both sides. Remove and keep aside.
Now we will make the gravy so if needed add 1tbsp more oil to the same pan.
Temper the oil with 1/4 tsp Methi(Fenugreek) Seeds.
Once the oil is flavored, lower the heat and add
the onion-garlic-yogurt paste
along with 1/2 tsp sugar
Also add 1 tbsp loosely packed Maida/AP Flour and fry the paste for couple of minutes.
Next add the spices
1/2 tsp Red Chili Powder or 1 tsp Kashmiri Mirch(adjust the red chili to your taste)
1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
1tsp Coriander Powder
2tbsp Kasoori Methi crushed between your palm
Raise heat to medium and with sprinkle of water fry the masala for 3-4 minutes till there is oil separating from the masala and the masala has no raw smell.
Add a fistful of chopped coriander and about a cup of warm water. Add salt to taste. Add couple of slit green chilies. Mix everything together and let the gravy simmer and come to boil.
Simmer till you feel the gravy has reached right thickness. It should not be too watery or soupy.
Slowly add the fried pieces of fish to the gravy. Let the gravy simmer for couple more minutes and then switch off heat.Wait for around 30-40 minutes for the flavors to blend in. Serve with rice.

LONGMONT -- A Longmont homeowner was shot in the leg during a confrontation with a man he told police he found burglarizing his home on the 4600 block of Portofino Drive on Wednesday morning.
The homeowner was shot in his left leg and was taken to Longmont United Hospital for treatment.
Cmdr. Jeff Satur said the homeowner called police at 9:40 a.m. to report a burglary in progress. He later told investigators that he was out of his home playing with his dogs and then returned to find a burglar armed with one of his own guns. The homeowner reportedly confronted the man and was shot in the leg.
The suspect fled, the homeowner told police.
Wednesday evening, police were still looking for the suspect, who is described as a white or Hispanic man shorter than 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighing 180 pounds, who was last seen wearing white painter's clothes and either a black baseball cap that he wore backward or a black do-rag. Satur said the suspect appeared to be wearing a tattered white hoodie used for painting.
Police say they have recovered a gun in the home they believe was used in the shooting, according to dispatch traffic. They also found other weapons in the home.
Police canvassed the area looking for the gunman throughout the morning. The Boulder County Sheriff's Office sent a K-9 unit to help in the search, and officers went door to door in the neighborhood. Some officers went out to nearby construction areas to ask about a man in painter's clothes.
Satur said officers would remain in the neighborhood Wednesday evening to speak with neighbors. There were no other burglaries reported in the area during the day. Police are contacting painting companies advertising or working in the area. He said there are plenty to check on because the HOA in the area requires periodic painting. There is also new construction in the area.
The Longmont police issued a statement on their Facebook page Wednesday afternoon asking any paint company supervisors to report any employees who did not report for work as scheduled.
Seven area schools were put on "lockout" Wednesday morning, but by 11:05 a.m. all lockouts had been lifted.

Alex Gordon: Homegrown Royal Has It All
My wife is not a Major League Baseball fan. She can go months without watching a game. She is, however, an Alex Gordon fan, and if she isn't interested in following how he performs throughout the season, she's fooling me. Whenever we're in the family room or on the deck checking our respective iPads, I deliberately will not tell her how the Kansas City Royals in general and how Alex Gordon in particular are doing. Finally, she will ask, even though she's a dispassionate fan with a singular point of interest … Alex Gordon, the hometown Royal who has it all.
Gordon has Big Red blood flowing through his Nebraska veins and Royal Blue dreams dating back to family vacations on I-29 to watch George Brett and Frank White field with grace, hit with reliability and inspire kids wearing blue caps and jerseys that match their snow cones and cotton candy. Since we all just celebrated the Fourth of July, let's add a third color to the river of red blood running through Alex's physically fit body and his daydreams of wearing a Royal Blue jersey. If Alex is the man to lead Kansas City to its first postseason game since the Royals beat the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series nearly 28 years ago, he needs something else on his sparkling white uniform. For Alex, the Fourth of July isn't red, white and blue. It's red, dirt and blue.
Alex was just a year old and wearing diapers when KC played its last post-season game in 1985. If that's the 12th of Never, no wonder Alex has not and will not raise a white flag as a sign of regret or surrender for deciding to stay loyal to his favorite team since boyhood. And make no mistake. He has always known about the Royals' reputation for having a tight wallet, not to mention a less than favorable record on first-round draft choices.
From Injury-Plagued to a Shining Star
Let's be honest here. For several years, an injury-plagued Alex Gordon was one of those first-round busts. The Kansas City Star's Sam Mellinger offered up this lead about Alex in a front-page Sunday column in early May: "The Royals' best player and example of what they're trying to do was once their worst player and example of why they never won. This is easy to forget sometimes, now that Alex Gordon is a star. The story of where the Royals had been and where they might go is also Gordon's story."
Mellinger described how Gordon was once one day away from being sent to Omaha, but then writes: "Look at Gordon now. He might be the best corner outfielder in the American League. He signed long term for maybe 60 percent of what he could have had on the open market. He is a homegrown star in an organization that can't win without them. He is the biggest story for a franchise desperate for more."
Dayton Moore, the Royals' general manager who remained loyal to Gordon because Alex stayed true to him, calls the Alex Gordon Story "the best thing I've ever experienced in sports. Watching Alex transition to the major leagues and what he went through … he maintained his steadiness, his work ethic, his positive approach and belief."
Desperate Measure: Move to Left Field
Indeed. Kansas City Royal fans remember the comparisons that haunted Gordon in his early days. Three years ago, the player they called "The Next George Brett" looked more like "The Next Clint Hurdle", according to Mellinger, and this is where the ex-Husker's climb to the top becomes so interesting. The Royals were so desperate they told Gordon to switch from third base to left field. "He took it without ego, told the world he planned to dominate, and the world responded with mostly laughter," Mellinger wrote, going on to observe how Gordon worked his way into a four-year, $37.5 million contract "and has since outperformed it."
In other words, for Kansas City, for the Royals and for all their fans across the country, Alex Gordon was worth the wait. He became the team leader in almost all hitting categories and is working diligently on a third consecutive Gold Glove award. If you think you're going to get Gordon to talk about his unexpected ascent, think again. He's too busy zeroing in on his daily regimens that have taken him this far and too humble to marvel at how fast he picked himself up, dusted off his dirty uniform and kept fighting the good fight and, at the same time, exhorting his teammates to dig down into their own competitive psyches and have some fun playing the game. No one mentions how hip surgery allowed Gordon to play in only 49 games in 2009 and how a broken thumb limited him to only 74 games the following season. "Health is the big key to every baseball season," he said. "Injuries can really mess up your strength and your timing. That's the big key to playing 162 games."
In May, we connect with Gordon on an off day. He talks about his parents and kids, his grandparents and his wife's family. He admits he became a die-hard Kansas City fan "by default" because the Royals played only three hours from home. They were, are and always will be most Nebraskans' favorite hometown team. Gordon grew up in Lincoln identifying with the Royals, and he's always wanted to be part of their homegrown talent. He understands why fans like to carry bits and pieces from a stadium because sitting in those seats and watching Major League Baseball were some of the best moments of their lives.
Forget the Expensive Food ... Eat a PBJ
Gordon was disappointed he missed the opportunity to play in the 2012 All-Star Game at Kauffman Stadium. He talks about the classy makeover of a stadium he's always loved and how lucky he feels to come to work early every day. Gordon takes every available opportunity on game day. He restricts his pregame meals to peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and postpones his unlimited catering choices until after the game. He's a big fan of Kansas City's Country Club Plaza and enjoys experiencing the revitalized downtown scene, anchored by the Sprint Center. As much as he loves Kansas City, Alex and Jamie Gordon, his wife, decided to build a house in Lincoln, and he marvels at some of the facilities Lincoln will unveil – the new Pinnacle Bank Arena for basketball, the expanded Memorial Stadium that will hold 92,000 fans, the East Stadium expansion that will bridge academic research with athletic research and innovation. The thought of Nebraska being a pioneer keeps racing through Gordon's mind, and it's all happening in the Big Ten Conference, the nation's biggest, oldest and wealthiest league in intercollegiate athletics.
With kids and family surrounding him in Lincoln and in Kansas City, Gordon finds himself experiencing some of the same places Husker fans choose, such as Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun. He relishes eating at a Brazilian Steakhouse on the Plaza and at The Jazz Kitchen on the Kansas side. He also recommends Oklahoma Joe's as one of the best of many great Kansas City barbecue houses.
Gordon works out more than he eats. He sets strict daily standards for his food consumption, his cardio, his lifting and his strength. "I do everything humanly possible to prepare myself for every game," he said. "I get to the clubhouse early to do what I need to do and to get myself mentally prepared to play." He likes every chef that prepares special food in the clubhouse, but he always shows restraint in his choices.
From Bus Rides to a History Lesson in Boston
Sometimes, he thinks about his rookie year in professional baseball and how three buses took his team almost everywhere. He remembers how his first minor league game went 18 innings and took six hours to play in Tulsa. He played third base and went for 2-for-6 in his first game as a pro.
When you play professional baseball, you remember down time every bit as much as the highlight reel that keeps playing in your mind. Alex will never forget, for instance, being in a Boston hotel on the same day the city stood still in the aftermath of two radical terrorists detonating bombs at the Boston Marathon. The scene becomes surreal when you look out the window of your hotel room and see the same thing you're watching on TV
Yes, Gordon could see the FBI live in person and CNN live at the same time on TV. That experience made him think, but also made him proud to be Husker and an American simultaneously. "I will never forget how all those people helped the city do what it needed to do," Gordon said, "and I will always remember standing on the field the next day at Fenway and watching Neil Diamond entertain everyone in the eighth-inning. He was at the game, and they asked him to sing when he got there." Alex Gordon plays golf, but does not play many card games because he wants to focus on the game that pays him for playing, not one that just entertains him. "The game of baseball has changed a lot," Alex said, explaining how close he is to most of his teammates and how almost everyone in the league reminds him of one big, happy family.
Gordon Respects Erstad's Tenacity, Approach
Alex knows Darin Erstand, and he respects Nebraska's head baseball coach. "He brings a lot of experience back to Nebraska," Gordon said. "He plays the game right and respects the game. I've gotten to know him more, and he definitely knows what he's doing. I think it's great that he schedules all of those tough teams in the early season, so it can pay dividends when the conference season rolls around and the NCAA is trying to decide who belongs in the tournament."
Alex Gordon looks at the world, examines it, processes it and competes as single-mindedly and relentlessly as anyone. He delivers a bases-loaded, two-out walk-off single in the 10th inning to beat the Chicago White Sox in early May. Ten days earlier, he crushes a 10th-inning pitch into Detroit's center-field shrubs for his first major league grand slam to help the Royals beat the Tigers, 8-3. I remember someone online saying: "I'm not sure how far Alex just hit the first grand slam of his career, but I feel sorry for the baseball."
It was an elegant moment for all of us who watched Alex play in the College World Series and wondered if the Lincoln Southeast graduate could someday find himself in MLB's World Series. If not that, maybe Alex can make the All-Star Game, the Midsummer Classic that can draw in even the most detached fans.
He's a Husker; He's Humble; He's an Icon
On the night Alex hit his walk-off grand slam, I asked my wife why she's enamored with Alex Gordon, especially when she doesn't care much about anything else that surrounds his 162-game regular season. "I like Alex because he's from Lincoln, he's a Husker, and he's so humble," she said. "He's an icon, isn't he?"
In Nebraska and in Kansas City, it's hard to dispute that statement. Just the thought of Gordon emerging into an icon makes me pause and measure why he already fits that description to me.
I like Alex because his grandfather was the baseball coach at Lincoln Southeast and he grew up with older brothers who let him tag along and play at a higher level, even when he was in junior high. I like him because he's a lifelong Kansas City Royal fan, and he accepted a lot less money so he could stay home and live his boyhood dream, and we can all watch him, keep track of him and root for him.
Easy Self Service and Quick Trip on I-29
We don't have to fly to Boston or New York to see him play. We can buy and print our tickets online, jump on I-29 and be sitting in our seats inside Kaufman Stadium 3½ hours later. For us, Alex is iconic ... a homegrown hero who truly does have it all and is still doing everything physically, mentally and psychologically possible to be an All-Star and to get the Kansas City Royals back in postseason play. That would definitely curtail his Nebraska football tailgate ritual, not to mention dramatically increase the demand for all his buddies wanting to see the Royals live at the K.
Of course, there are no guarantees that Alex would be the catalyst that transforms that dream into reality. But that's what icons do, especially one with red blood, a blue-colored fantasy and a white uniform that no doubt will be covered in dirt. If you want to know a little secret, Alex Gordon applies some dirt to the back of his jersey before he even takes the field. It's fun. It's beautiful, and it's more iconic than it is ironic.
Alex Gordon has one of baseball's smallest egos, and he would slide head first into every base to help his team win. That's the heart inside that #4 on his uniform. Alex wants to break baseball's longest postseason drought not only for Kansas City and for the Royals, but for all the Husker fans who find him in Spring Training and yell "Go Big Red!" in his honor at every stadium he plays in. Who knows? Come October, when Husker fans see Gordon and salute him with Nebraska's signature line, maybe he'll nod his approval and come right back with the perfect response ... "Go Big Blue!"

Frequently asked questions
Data Entry > Birth time
- How
is the birth time and how exact does it have to be?
We need the birth time to be able to calculate your horoscope correctly. The skies above us move by so quickly, that in order to get the positions of the Ascendant, Sun, Moon and planets right, we need the most precise birth time you can give us. At best, the time is correct to the minute. On average, the ascendant moves around 1 degree every four minutes. So, the less precise the time, the less precise the horoscope will be. Even 15 minutes can make a difference in the interpretation.
- What
time do I use?
Fill in your time of birth in "wrist watch time", i.e. the normal time shown on clocks and watches at the time and place of birth. Astrodienst automatically does all the necessary corrections of time zones and daylight saving time.
- Do you
daylight saving time and time zones into account?
Yes, we do. Astrodienst uses one of the most comprehensive databases for daylight saving times and time zones through the ages and around the world. In extremely rare cases the correct time may be uncertain. In these cases you will get a warning message when entering the birth data.
- I was born
in Illinois before 1 July 1959. Is there anything special?
Yes, there is. The state of Illionois had a law which required, up to 1 July 1959, that all birth times had the be registered with CST (Central Standard Time), even during periods when daylight saving time was in force. This creates confusion and was a most idiotic law. If a birth time is from a registry, one must assume it is in CST. If a birth time is from a private recording, one must assume it is in 'wall clock time', i.e. people looked at a watch and wrote down the time. As they should. The use of DST in Illionois was not uniform and state-wide. This complicates the matter. Our system now assumes that the law was obeyed. For data from private (unlawful!) recording the user must use 'manual timezone' on date entry. In the past there has been a period when, due to an internal misunderstanding, Astrodienst system did behave differently. In February 2014, we have updated all that but of course, charts which have gone out in the past may differ. One can easily check because on ALL charts we keep birth time AND GMT/UT.
- How
can I find out my birth time?
In nearly all countries of the world the time of birth is officially registered at the registry office where birth records are maintained. England (GB) is one of the few European countries which doesn't follow this rule.
Please contact the birth registry office in your birth town, and request a copy of the registry information, including the birth time. You must mention the birth time specifically, because many birth certificates are issued without the time, even when it is contained in the records.
- What
difference do induced birth or a Caesarian section make to the
Astrology is pragmatic, it works with 'what is'. Your real birth time is what counts, not a hypothetical one which 'might have been if not...'.
- Do you offer
chart rectification service?
No, we don't know of any really reliable method for rectification, and therefore do not offer such a service.
For more information we recommend that you read the article on chart rectification by Richard Vetter in our "Understanding Astrology" section.
- Is it possible to erect a chart
without houses?
Yes. Please select 'unknown' in the time entry field. This automatically assumes a hypothetical time of 12.00 h (noon).
- Can I give a different
hypothetical time and show the chart without houses?
Yes, you can enter a different hypothetical time. This is one of our "hidden features". Please select the hour you want in the hour field, and enter '00u' (or just 'u') in the minute field, e.g. hour=18 minute=00u (or u). It will then show '18:00 hyp' and no houses on the chart drawing. This also works with minute '30u' or any other number of minutes.

It's not that Elizabeth Allison didn't want children in her 20s or 30s. It's just that her priorities were elsewhere. Allison, an assistant professor at San Francisco's California Institute of Integral Studies, was too busy earning her Ph.D., traveling the world and looking for Mr. Right to consider motherhood.
She found him -- Eric, a clever law professor with kind blue eyes -- in her late 30s. By the time they settled into married life and began trying to conceive, Allison was 40 -- the beginning of the danger zone for increased complications and health risks to mother and unborn child.
It took a year to become pregnant, but their daughter, who is now 18 months old and already shares her parents' curiosity and love of books, was worth the wait.
Is Allison glad she delayed motherhood?
"Absolutely," says Allison, who is now 45 and living in Albany. "I have a little less energy than some of my younger mom friends, but I spent a lot of time working on myself over the past decade. I'm a much more tolerant, patient and compassionate person than I was at 30. That makes me a better mother."
It's a sentiment shared by women across the country who are putting off motherhood for a variety of reasons, from infertility to career ambitions. Recent federal statistics show that women in their 40s are more likely to have babies now than at any time in more than four decades. Among American women ages 40 to 44, birthrates have hit their highest point since 1967, according to the National Center for Health Statistics.
Back then, 40-somethings were bearing their last of multiple children. However, an older mother today is more likely to be having her first child, a phenomenon that Baby Center executive editor Janet Ozzard attributes to medical advances, later marriages and changing views on motherhood.
"We have made great strides in our careers and great satisfaction in finding the right relationships," says Ozzard, who lives in Berkeley and adopted a baby with her partner at 45. "With advances in health care, we're being told every day that we're going to live to be 100, so having a kid when you're 40 doesn't seem so strange."
But it doesn't change the facts. At age 40, one in three pregnant women miscarries and one in 100 delivers a baby with Down syndrome (as opposed to 1 in 1,000 at age 30), according to the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists. By age 42, 80 percent of eggs are genetically abnormal, meaning they are less likely to fertilize or implant in the uterus.
Still, perspective is important. Some of the data on delayed pregnancy is outdated, and many of the risks can be avoided if 40-somethings are in good health before getting pregnant, says Marcelle Cedars, a UC San Francisco professor of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences and director of the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at UCSF Medical Center.
"Most women who are otherwise healthy, with normal body weight and no diabetes, will do well with pregnancy into their mid-40s," says Cedars, who had her two children at 38 and 40.
Naturally, there are pros and cons to being an older mom, she says. The most common complaint she hears is how long it takes patients to shed the baby weight and bounce back physically, compared to their younger counterparts.
Larisa Casillas, of Oakland, says she "felt her age more" after her 15-month-old son, Joaquin, was born. Casillas was 43 and waited the obligatory six weeks before returning to her exercise regimen. Still, she wound up pulling a calf muscle on that first run.
"I didn't recuperate nearly as fast as I thought I would," she says. If she could do it again, would Casillas have wanted to bear a child earlier?
"I don't regret my decision (to have a child at 43) at all," says Casillas, who is now 45 and works for a nonprofit. "I walked into parenting with intention. I knew exactly what I was doing and arrived at a place professionally where I felt secure. I also got to see how all of my friends parented and learn from them."
Sara Jenez, an educator in Mountain View, says she wishes she had been five years younger when she started her family, but not at the expense of having children alone or with the wrong partner. Jenez met her husband, Ricardo, in her late 30s. They married when Jenez was 39, and she was pregnant within six weeks of the wedding.
"I would have loved to have relished my marriage sans offspring for several years, but time was against that luxury," she adds. Jenez gave birth to their son, Antonio, when she was 40. Their daughter, Isabella, arrived 21 months later.
Jenez says the most significant down side of being an older mom is that, at 16 and 14, Antonio and Isabella no longer have grandparents. They have passed away. So she and Ricardo work hard to keep their memories alive.
"The other day, Isabella said she was starting to forget the sound of her grandfather's voice," Jenez says. "That made me sad."
But the good things are plentiful and outweigh the bad. Jenez says she is wiser and more confident than her younger self. She is active and energetic, and like many women interviewed for this article, she says she takes better care of herself now than she did in her 20s and 30s.
Then, there are the financial benefits. With advanced degrees and nearly 20 years in the workforce, Sara and Ricardo had years of paychecks in the bank before they'd even met. They were able to purchase their first home when Antonio was only 9 months old. By the time Isabella came along, they were in an even better place.
"We've had a good foothold from the start," she says. "The stars didn't align for me earlier, so I guess I was destined to be an older mom. What an amazing journey it's been -- and to think, we have miles to go!"

The decision this week by the 9th District Court of Appeals didn't provide an opinion about whether the judge's order was appropriate. Instead the appeals court said it didn't have enough information to decide the merits of the case without a copy of the pre-sentence report detailing Asim Taylor's background.
In January 2013, Lorain County Probate Judge James Walther said Taylor couldn't have more children while he is on probation for five years. The judge said the order would be lifted if Taylor pays nearly $100,000 in overdue support for his four children.
The (Elyria) Chronicle-Telegram (http://bit.ly/1lxnYwS ) reports that Taylor's attorney is arguing that the order violates his right to reproduce.

Want to enjoy Hawaii in presidential style?
Every year, President Barack Obama and the first family escape the winter chill in Washington, D.C., for two weeks of Christmas vacation at his boyhood home, Honolulu. His schedule includes daily stops at some of Oahu's most popular tourist attractions, along with local favorites. Security is always tight around the first family, so you may not catch a glimpse of it during the holidays.
However, any day of the year, you can visit most of the places where the Obamas have become regulars, from the golf courses the president plays to the shave ice joint the family frequents. Here's a guide:
The first family has stayed every year in a beachfront compound in the picturesque town of Kailua, located on the windward side of Oahu, about 30 minutes from Waikiki. The Secret Service turns the waters of Kailua Bay into a security zone, and a pair of semirigid gunboats -- outfitted with menacing-looking .50-caliber machine guns -- make sure that curious tourists know that the Secret Service is serious about ensuring both the first family's privacy and its safety.
While locals frequently insist that they want to leave the president alone so he can unwind away from the stresses of Washington, tourists line up every morning outside the heavily guarded neighborhood where the family stays -- and on the sand outside the beachfront compound -- hoping to catch a glimpse of the presidential motorcade, or even a chance sighting of an impromptu beach stroll by the first couple. (Because of Hawaii's strict quarantine laws, first dog Bo has stayed behind at the White House and will be joined this Christmas by his new little sister, Sunny.)
Each morning begins the same way for Obama, with a quick trip in the presidential motorcade to Marine Corps Base Hawaii in the neighboring beach community of Kaneohe, where the president -- often joined by first lady Michelle Obama -- works out alongside active-duty Marines and their family members at the base's "Semper Fit" gym.
Then it's back to the Kailua compound, where the family regroups before beginning another day in paradise.
The president always takes first daughters Sasha and Malia, along with a group of their friends, to Island Snow in Kailua, where Obama usually places everyone's order for shave ice. (Unless you want everyone in earshot to know you're a "malihini," or newcomer, don't ever call it "shaved ice.")
The owners of Island Snow have promised not to capitalize on the first family's preference for Island Snow. So insiders need to know to ask for Obama's favorite concoction, the "Snowbama" -- a blend of guava, cherry and lemon-lime flavors poured over a puffy mountain of powdery ice.
Obama has taken the girls to Windward Mall in Kaneohe, where they enjoyed a private screening of the movie "Avatar." They also have spent time at the secluded Pyramid Rock beach on the Marine Corps base, where the president often plays golf. But he also plays at the nearby Luana Hills and Mid-Pacific country clubs.
The family has taken private tours of Sea Life Park, a marine life attraction located near the ocean in the town of Waimanalo, and private tours of the Honolulu Zoo, located in Waikiki.
Obama has enjoyed private visits to Hanauma Bay, a marine preserve. It's near Lanai Lookout, where Obama scattered the ashes of his mother and grandmother on separate visits. He's also taken his family to the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl, where the ashes of his maternal grandfather, Stanley Dunham -- a sergeant in Gen. George Patton's 7th Army in Europe -- are kept in Court 1, Wall B, beneath a bronze plaque that honors the man Obama called "Gramps."
The Obamas eat like locals, but they also enjoy fancy dinners out at places such as Alan Wong's, located outside of Waikiki. (Pidgin-speaking locals call their friends to a meal by saying, "Let's grind." Native Hawaiians would say, "Kau Kau.") When he's taking the girls out to the North Shore of Oahu, Obama has stopped his motorcade at a popular restaurant called Kua 'Aina in Haleiwa for hamburgers and fries. He's done the same at Kua 'Aina's sister shop in Honolulu, located between Waikiki and downtown, before enjoying a picnic of hamburgers and fries at nearby Magic Island.
While it's easy to spot the presidential motorcade, access is both restricted and spontaneous. After a quick sweep by his Secret Service detail, Obama often will surprise customers by popping up at places such as Kua 'Aina and Island Snow unannounced, giving fans the chance to shake hands with the president and have their photos taken with him.
But don't expect a YouTube-worthy shot. The chances of getting another glimpse of a shirtless Obama in Hawaii are unlikely. The last time he was photographed without his shirt, at a notoriously dangerous surf spot called Sandy's on Oahu's South Shore, Obama had yet to be sworn in as commander-in-chief.
Staff writer Dan Nakaso lived in Hawaii for 19 years, covered President Obama's first inauguration in Washington, D.C., and each of Obama's Honolulu homecomings until Christmas 2012, when Nakaso returned home to San Jose.

Are you a teenager with a story to tell? NPR and Radio Diaries want to hear it. Write it down, photograph it (and record it if you want) and then submit it to the storytelling site Cowbird.
Beginning in 1996, Radio Diaries gave tape recorders to five teenagers to create audio diaries about their lives. Starting on May 6, All Things Considered will revisit these original diarists, now in their 30s, to document their lives for NPR listeners.
And now the hunt is on for new teen diarists.
We are looking for personal, surprising stories from teenagers today. You can write about anything as long as it's true – like, the first time you fell in love, your most favorite place in the world, the moment you knew you weren't a kid anymore, something compelling about your family.
If you're a teenager who wants a chance to produce a radio diary for NPR, please submit your story to Cowbird through May 31. Two will be picked to produce audio stories with Radio Diaries, and a selection of these stories will be featured on NPR.org next week.
Looking for inspiration before you begin to write? Check out what other teens have submitted so far or listen to the original Teen Diaries. You can also take a look at this Radio Diaries DIY handbook for audio diary help.
Here's how it works:
1) Join Cowbird. It's free!
2) Click "Tell a Story" on the right. Tell your story — but please don't upload material that you don't own, like copyrighted songs, clip art or photographs.
3) Before you publish your story, click the spiral icon that says "Sagas" on the right, then click "Teens."
4) Click "Publish" and you're done! Your story will be considered for posting on NPR.org and Radio Diaries.
If chosen to appear on NPR.org, authors under the age of 18 will be contacted for parental/guardian consent.
BILAL QURESHI, BYLINE: Now we're going to take a few minutes to re-introduce you to five people who were part of one of the most memorable series we've ever aired on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. If you were listening 16 years ago, you may remember it. The idea was simple: Give teenagers tape recorders and let them tell their own stories.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Hello? Nope, wrong button. There, hello?
JOSH: Let me do the introduction now. Hi, my name is Josh. If you saw me on the street, you wouldn't notice anything different about me.
AMANDA: My name is Amanda, and I guess in a way I've always known that I was bisexual.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: People always used to pick on me all the time, you know, and then one day I decided to play football.
JUAN: I'm Mexican, and I'm here in the U.S. It's, like, kind of amazing.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #2: I didn't think I was going to get pregnant. It just happened.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: My radio show, thank you.
Josh, Melissa, Juan, Frankie, Amanda, all grown up now, in their 30s, and they're back in a series we're calling "Teenage Diaries Revisited."
JUAN: If you meet me on the street, it's not even going to cross your mind that I'm an illegal resident. I've been here for so long, I'm one of you.
JOSH: Well, I went from being on the front page with football, representing my little, bitty school, to being on the front page as a thief and a meth head.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #3: That's you as a baby.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #4: Do you still think it's a phase?
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #5: Well, we know it's not a phase.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: For everybody who's listening out there, I mean, is your life the same today as it was 16 years ago?
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #6: That's a lot of years, a lot of months, a lot of days, that's a lot of issues going through it. But then once you're done with them, 16 years later, you look at it, you're like, where did those 16 years go?
BLOCK: Each day next week we'll hear these voices again in new radio diaries. And today, we're also announcing a search for two new teenage diarists. It's a partnership with the storytelling website Cowbird. If you're a teen, you have a teen or you know a teen, go to npr.org to find out how to submit stories. The deadline to submit is May 31st. Our partner Radio Diaries will pick two teenagers and work with them to produce new stories that will air on our program next year.
BLOCK: This is NPR. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Aine Lawlor is the voice of Morning Ireland and a keen gardener in her own right.. You might think the last thing she needed was another early start, but being the pro she is, and because Damien asked her nicely, she came into Bloom to talk about one of her favourite times of the year, when Bloom is on.
Aidan Cotter is the Chief Executive of Bord Bia, the Irish Food Board, and the people behind Bloom. He tells Damien about the state of the food and agriculture industry in Ireland.

Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Pasta with Turkey Sausage
02.22.10 by Jackie
Pasta and sausage is a combination that is probably not new to most people. The challenge is that I need to make the dish accommodate both the vegetarians and meat eaters in my house.
To this end, I separately grilled tofurkey (mock turkey made of tofu) and apple turkey sausages and mixed them into two batches of homemade sun-dried tomato pesto sauce.

Wangsness studied drawing and painting at Luther under legendary print-maker Orville Running. She also studied landscape and fine art portraiture with Maxine Pendry, portrait painting with Daniel Greene, airbrush painting with Sam Bogosian, and rosemaling with Sigmund Aarseth.
In 2011, Wangsness was commissioned by the museum to create a plate in honor of Norway's King Harald V and Queen Sonja's most recent visit to Decorah. She painted a portrait of the Royal Couple and bordered it with rosemaling that matched the pattern of the Queen's bunad. Wangsness speaks of the opportunity to present the gift in person as, "one of the greatest honors and the highlight of my career."
For 25 years, Wangsness and her husband, Willis, operated Wangsness Photography Studio in Decorah, Iowa. Her husband took the photos and she hand-colored them. Wangsness became a regional and national leader in photographic arts standards and education, earning many awards for her work.
