Legacy Journal: Friday Fun Factory

Section:
Commentary

Summary:
* What a world! Some say that the world is not reading. Yet, e-mails, text messengers, chat rooms, news outlets instruction manuals, PDF documents, online databases and blogs at exploding. Yes, the newsroom staff at the nytimes was reduced by 7.5%. Competition, cost pressures and technology have a way of reducing the drag effect of death weight.

* Global Warming? It the February spike in mid west tornado activity the result of surveillance and reporting , Gulf Warming, or Cooling from northern Canada weather fronts? That eminent climate and ecology authority, Senator John Kerry , seems to have it all figured out is case some of the rest of us seem conflicted, uncertain or confused.

* Meanwhile, seniors in OLLI classes at Osher RIT are taking on science topics like the Physics of Global Climate and Darwin’s five year round-the world voyage of discover aboard the converted bark, H,M.S. Beagle. at the age of 22 beginning in 1832. It took Darwin another 25 years to digest his experiences and publish his work on evolution, natural selection, and the science framework around the biologic time line and path of the human species. Intelligent Design has come under the microscope and is in the cross hairs of this serious minded group.

::: Also, congrats to Jon Little for his new faculty member website at Monroe Community College where he teaches Weather and Climate, and Physical Geography. Jon is a first instructor in the Department of Chemistry and GeoScience .

Legacy Journal: Number Two as Winners: The Rest of the Story.

Section:
Sports

Summary:
We all like to see underdogs win. Avis vs Hertz. The latest example is an impressive performance by the LSU Tigers of Baton Rouge, LA in the BCS Championship win over number one ranked Ohio State University. One unsung hero of the win is first year LSU Offensive Coordinator, 50 year old, father of seven, Gary Crowton from the state of Utah. He was calling plays for the SuperDome sky box and was seldom seen on the TV screen. Mavericks make headlines. Good Mormons quietly do their jobs. That is all you need to know except that he enjoys biking with his family.

Main:
Crowton has lived, played and coached around the country. Orem, Provo, Snow JC, Idaho State, BYU, Oregon, Lousiana Tech, Chicago, Georgia, Boston College, Western Illinois, Colarado State. He is a student of BYU Coach, Dr. LaVell Edwards , the “spread offense”, and he is part of a quarterback tradition that includes former Forty Niner Steve Young and Kellen Clemens, currently with the NY Jets.

He is but one example among many of quiet, competent, and capable team players making a difference over time. Some times that difference is on Mission, sometimes in the class room or on the field, sometimes at home, at church or in the community. Dr. Edwards and his wife did a Mission in NYC after he retired from coaching in 2000 after eighteen years at BYU. Gary Crowton was his replacement.

Meanwhile in New Hampshire, the nytimes video reporters visits the bars and discovers the natives heat their homes with $3 a gallon fuel oil and use wood burning stores. The same voters have yet to hear of an energy plan from the candidates. Perhaps the recent warm weather has influenced the messages and the turnout.

Revkin of GoEarth blog at the nytimes is still hot on melting ice in Greenland. In January yet? So, who has the most compelling worry? BTW, the really good news weather story today is that a a lost snowmobile family was found in the snow blizzard National Forest areas out of Durango, CO. The predicted summer water shortage crisis predicted by earlier Revkin sources for the southern Rockies region seems to be rapidly fading.

Legacy Journal: Year End Clear Winners.

Section:
Almanac

Summary:
* In Random Order, here is a personal Thank Your list of 2007 winners.

Main:
: David Brooks, Op-Ed Columnist for the nytimes. Best Advice: “Interview three people every day.” Solid writing, grounded, funny, and smart. A pleasure to read and watch as a regular panelist participant on the Friday edition of the PBS Lehrer News Hour and even ABC News on Sunday mornings..

: The August 7th picture perfect Carmel, CA wedding of Damon Fisk and Rebecca Welch at the Mission Ranch. Great timing. Good going. An outstanding all family happening. Thanks for the memory treasure chest photo album.

: The summer relocation of the California Littles to The City of Rochester,NY and the town of Brighton. Jon, Erika, Emma and Tessa have been the perfect host and hostesses for a parade of visitors from across the U.S. MCC and URMC have also benefited from their work. Christmas in western upstate New York has been part of a special holiday season.

: A cross country road trip thru the Heartland of the Country was a 2007 highlight. the Ruby Mountains of NE Nevada, the upper Salmon River of Idaho, the Grande Teton and Yellowstone NPs of Wyoming, Paradise Valley and Cisco in Montana, the Bad Lands Lakota Buffalo Grass Lands country out of Rapid City, Sturgis, and Wells South Dakota, Egan, MN Park and Skating Rink, the Minnesota-Wisconsin Interstate Park along the St. Croix River Dalles , the DePaul University district of Chicago and Niagara Falls were all new territory for this traveler.

More than three “locals” were interviewed a each stop. Their stories added rich context to the experience. I thank them all from the local journalist, historian, and fellow hospital breakfast clubber in St Croix, Wisconsin along the National Ice Age Trail to the weather aged and well preserved ranch woman, Mrs Cuny at the end of dusty road in one the most remote table islands in of the Bad Lands Lakata Sioux Reservation of Pine Ridge, the former home of Chief Red Cloud and U.S.M.C.Olympian, Billy Mills.

: Thanks to the great community of Davis, CA , the Davis Senior Center Staff, DAM swimming club, and UCDavis for first rate programs that support senior fitness. The Aggies MBB vs UCLA at Pauley/Wooden Arena this weekend. You must be kidding.

: Thanks to the Raleigh Bike Company of England and the UCDavis Aggie Bike Barn for my restored machine. It is fast, light, safe, comfortable, fun and even tracks well in the new snow. It is also fuel efficient and relatively nonpolluting. BTW, wow many of 15,000 in the Climate Brigade who jetted to and from Bali, Indonesia for the recent UN IPCC tribal gathering and pep rally use a bike daily for personal transportation or pleasure?

: Thanks for JCC. It is a welcoming and healthy bit of Brighton and Rochester Jewish life and culture.

: Thanks to George Eastman and the Kodak Company. Rochester institutions and Hollywood are not their only legacies.

: Thanks to Wegman’s. A great place to refuel. Supermarkets will never the same.

: Thanks to all that made holiday music. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra with Sissel on PBS was especially fine.

: Thanks to many friends, family and neighbors along the trail. 2007 has been a memorable ride. BTW, the Internet techies at Sonic, Expression Engine, URMC , JCC, and the Brighton Senior Center continue to impress. Apple, Google, and open source applications continue to Rock and Rule as part of the exclusive PMASS Club .

Finally, one has the sense that the anti-natalist views of the eco Malthusians fear promoters are wearing thin. Prof David Pimental, a bug guy who bio morphed into a global guru at Cornell Ag, the politically active Directors and executives of the Sierra Club, and the carbon climate crowd have tried to temper their message. But, bottom line, it is still old wine, new label. “More people means Disaster” is the staple standard; “Carbon is Poison” is on the label, even the Champagne. So, the sober message for the Holidays if you must drink to enjoy yourself, be responsible and please, do not drive. Brake for Bikers. To have a really Happy 2008, make a baby, but do not mix up the bottles.

Q: What is more dangerous, birthing a baby, performing your own appendectomy, believing that mankind can override Nature and control the enormous forces that drive what we call Climate, serving with the military in Iraq, living in Richmond, California, or driving a vehicle under the influence of drug or alcohol several times a month? Think about it.

BTW, some are still worried because during the summer of 2005 , the Arctic Ocean ice pack was down to a meager 1,500,000 square miles, ten times the area of California. The good new for the concerned is that as of 29 December, 2007, it is really cold and really dark in that Polar region as ice is rapidly being reformed. Because of the polar winter blackout, photos are not available. But, alcohol abuse remains real, reoccurring , and year around problem among the native population.
