JNEWS: Logan, Doug (MC????) new head of USA Track & Field

Sports of The Times
A Chance for Track to Regain Its Past With Wider Appeal
Usain Bolt on Jamaica on Tuesday after competing in the men’s 200m semi-final.
By GEORGE VECSEY

As it happens, Coe has found a kindred soul in Doug Logan, the new head of USA Track & Field. Logan, the first commissioner of Major League Soccer, has called on President Bush to not commute the six-month sentence of Marion Jones, who is jailed for lying in connection with the Balco scandal and who has lost her Olympic medals because she used performance-enhancing drugs.

“Nobody will succeed if drugs continue to be the first or second or third question,” Logan said, referring to track’s news conferences. Then he lamented the marginal state of the sport.

“Track and field kept ambling down the road while all those Ferraris passed them,” he said. “The N.F.L.; what David Stern did with basketball; Mark McCormack, a genius, built golf on a new business model; Donald Dell and others in tennis; the France family with Nascar.”

Born in Cuba, Logan attended Manhattan College and fell in love with big-time track of the 1960s, particularly the Millrose Games. He said, “I can still hear the footsteps on those wooden boards, with all those splinters — Ron Delany, Eamonn Coghlan in the Wanamaker Mile.”

Now, he said, “We’ve got to blow it up and start all over.” He lamented the Balkanized calendar that had American athletes qualifying in the trials in June but then there was “a five-week hiatus, with four or five European meets, with our kids flying all over the place.” As a result, he said, many performances are down from their peak in June.

•

The sport could be “a marketer’s dream,” Logan said, adding: “The rules are simple — get there first. Everybody has tried to race his older brother.” He also criticized the cost and elapsed time of the world championships, noting that the Prefontaine meet in Oregon every spring “gets it all done in 2 ½ hours.”

He concluded: “U.S.A.T.F. has to be the promoter of the last resort. We have to cajole people out of their narrow point of view.” As a former rock promoter, Logan predicted that Usain Bolt could “fill Icahn Stadium single-handedly any time he wants,” referring to the modest stadium under the Triborough Bridge.

On May 31, Bolt set a world record of 9.72 at that stadium, and the other night he dropped it to 9.69 while thumping his chest. Bolt has galvanized the Bird’s Nest. With new leadership, maybe Bolt and his Jamaican running mates could make the “granddaddy of them all” relevant more than once every four years.

All of us at SarahCare of the Lehigh Valley truly enjoyed our days with Bill. He was a wonderful man and was especially proud of his family. He will be greatly missed by our staff and the friends he made over the past year. I only wish I had a chance to play a round of golf with him… a game he told me that he truly enjoyed.

Families tell us how much we matter and thank us daily for having us in their lives but in essence it is us that are blessed to be able to know and care for our famliy members. In this time of loss, we can but remember his smile and wit, and loving ways that affected all that knew him.

Our memory garden will have a special place for Bill to keep as a reminder to everyone of his smile and love of life, We will all miss him dearly

Here’s your chance to let the media know where the people stand on our faith in God, as a nation. NBC is taking a poll on whether ‘In God We Trust’ should be removed or stay on our American currency. Please send this to everyone you know so they can vote on this important subject. Please do it right away, before NBC takes this off the web page.

Poll is still open so you can vote.

[JR: CV urges us, in the good old American tradition, to vote early and often. Even though you have to ask, "does it matter?" And, even in American Idol the books get cooked. But Jasper Jottings can astroturf with the best of them. GO vote and make an old Jasper Happy!]

[JR: It makes me sad when there is no other entry in the Guest Book other than mine. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I put it there if for no other reason than it marks the place. I just wonder how many things (i.e., stories, information, knowledge, wisdom, jokes) are now lost forever. Each time we lose the essence of ... ... the human community?]

HILLSIDE WILL REMEMBER EVANSES

Hillside Swim Club is going to celebrate the lives of Artie and Midge Evans next Saturday … and rightfully so.

Longtime fixtures at the Bulls Head club, the Evanses could always be found laughing or competing, and usually both.

Artie, a legendary track star at Manhattan College as well as an accomplished touch tackle football and tennis player, was on his way to play tennis at Hillside when he suffered a fatal heart attack in 2003.

Midge, another ball of energy, passed away of leukemia last October.

The club will honor the couple with — what else? — a memorial tennis tournament which will run in conjunction with a health fair and blood drive.

JEMAIL: Morgan, Jim (MC1957) says “you could be too old some day”

From: Jim Morgan 57B
Sent: Monday, August 18, 2008 2:40 PM
Subject: You could be too old some day

*** begin quote ***

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) says that if you are
75 years or older, you are too old (at an age of “competing causes of
death”) to have prostate cancer screening. In the August 5, 2008 Issue of Annals of Internal Medicine, they recommend that doctors do not screen such patients or those who have a life expectancy of 10 years or less (the time required to experience a “mortality” benefit). Their technical reason is that the psychological impact of false-positive test results could be harmful. In addition, elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening tests could lead to the discomfort of a prostate biopsy, which in turn could lead to treatments that could cause more harm than good.

As a 76-year-old recent prostate cancer survivor, I can’t agree with them. Shouldn’t everyone have the same opportunity I had to use all available medical procedures? Or, is this perhaps a not so subtle example of the allocation of resources?

Has “someone” concluded it is a waste of Medicare money not only to treat those over 75 with prostate cancer, but also to even bother testing them to see if they have it?

The good news is, if you are 75 or older, you don’t have to pay any attention to Prostate Cancer Awareness month in September.

JEMAIL: “UPS > Delivery Failure” virus circulating

A new virus. This is true, not a hoax. Go to the snopes link below for full details. I have not received any but had this warning forwarded to me and as always, I check them out on snopes.

> COMPUTER VIRUS WARNING

The newest virus circulating is the> “UPS > Delivery Failure”.
You will receive an email from UPS Packet Service along
with a packet number.NOTE: The word packet is mis-spelled on this line as paket.
It will say that they were un-able to deliver a package sent by
you on such and such a date. It then asks you to print out the
invoice copy attached. The attached zip file contains a document
that masquerades as a WORD document.
DON’T TRY TO PRINT THIS. IT LAUNCHES THE VIRUS!
Pass this warning on to all your PC operators at work and home
and to all your address book.
This virus has caused millions of dollars in damage in the past
few days. It was first reported on in July (last month)

*** end quote ***

[JR: Carmine is correct. Some folks at work got burned by this one. HOWEVER, no home user should be running "naked". That is without proper security software on their home pcs. Some ISPs give to you free. Note: that one can use "purposed" emails to detect phish, spam, or phrobes. So for example, for it to be a valid UPS message to the 'reinke dot cc' it would have to come addressed to "UPSXXXXYYYY at reinke dot c c" where XXXX and YYYY are super secret codes. On XP, Outlook rules, and, on my mac, mac smart rule, would filter the message into a dedicated mailbox for UPS. I have about 100 of these setup. The value is that any bad stuff comes in and might as well smell like a dead fish. SO, why would a message from my bank be anywhere but in my Bank's dedicated folder. With your own domain, this stuff is trivial to set up and costs nothing extra! Message me if you want help to set it up.]

p.s., I got the bad message at work but it failed my similar setup there so I knew it was ‘poison’.
