I'm sure this has happened to many of you out there so how did you respond or did you respond when someone from a Web site devoted to a big-name college program posts information from your online story with no credit to the source?
If they want to mention LeBron's shot as soon as it happens, fine. Cleveland is obviously very interested.
And there's nothing wrong with being happy about it on a Cleveland newscast.
But the way that guy went nuts was embarrassing. Or should have been.
I get all stats and play by play for each half on one sheet of paper. The left hand side is divided horizontally in the middle with one team on top and the other below. The right hand side is divided vertically for two columns of play by play.
I do down, distance and yard line for each play. For...
I would say if the offer was accepted, the offer was accepted. You don't go back and ask for more after agreeing to their terms originally.
If you were still talking, then sure, mention the counter offer and see where that gets you.
We must begin charging for Web site access.
Start low like 5 bucks a month so it won't scare people off. People will bench in the beginning but it will become a small expense deemed worthwhile to most very quickly.
Back in the 90s I got a call at home from my editor saying he wanted me to fly across the country the next day to work at another paper in the chain during a strike. At a meeting in the office before departure, I realized I was the only non-management person going. I finally realized this was...
Michelle Obama made herself an issue with the "proud of my country for the first time in my adult life" bit. She got off remarkably easy for that insulting comment. The Obamas have had it easy so far. The scrutiny should get sharper the closer we get to the election and it will.
And thanks to...
They certainly appear to know what they want. Good for them. I guess.
It does exclude, I expect, many very talented candidates who don't happen to have worked in a minor or major league market who may know baseball extremely well.
So a couple of you are saying a newspaper doesn't own the photos taken by its photographers?
I disagree.
Newspapers aren't protesting this because they are getting rich off selling the reprints. Hardly. The point is the IHSA should not be able to tell us what we can do with photos we own.

It's FBS and FCS. I don't like the change either. But those are the officials names.
I also have stopped writing FBS (the former Division I-A) and FCS (the former Division I-AA). It's time to move on and use the correct terminology.
Readers will catch on as long as we don't continue to use...
Michael Jordan when he still had hair. And Stan Albeck was his coach with the Bulls.
The rise to super celebrity status had just started but it was clear he was headed in that direction.
