Miss Weller, Coaching, And All That Jaz
An article on knoxnews.com brought back a lot of memories. With former University of Maryland Head Women’s Basketball Coach Chris Weller’s well-deserved induction into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame this Saturday, the article reflects on how past players, particularly Jasmina Perazic, find that they sound like their college coach.

WNBA 2010 – Fixing the Sparks
I was going to post this along with my early season thoughts, but I held off until after the outdoor game between Los Angeles and Seattle, which Seattle controlled the entire game for the win. With the Sparks now sitting in the cellar, the question isn’t so much can they make the playoffs but more with how they can right the ship.

Does Anyone Understand Loudspeaker-speak?
I was recently in a store, my items were being checked out and I was putting the already-bagged purchases into my cart. From the store loudspeaker/intercom I hear, “Whllrreerah weegtoe hruna…” and so forth. At least, that’s what it sounded like to me. I had no idea what was going on. The cashier, however, seemed anxious and was hurrying with checking me out. Other customers were quickly and calmly heading to the exits.
Are Cameras the New Guns?
Governments and police need to embrace the public-generated media scrutiny, not persecute and prosecute it. To do otherwise suggests systemic malfeasance. Are Cameras the New Guns?.
