Ch. 4 touting its access for Super Bowl coverage
If you're a Patriots fan, you're going to see programming that's exclusive to this television station that you're not going to get on other stations in the marketplace. An example of that is there is a welcoming party in Arizona next Thursday at the team hotel that we'll broadcast live for at least an hour on WSBK. There will be a postgame party back at the team hotel Sunday, hopefully a victory party, that will be exclusive to WBZ-TV, and there will be certain access to certain types of player interviews that would not be afforded the other television stations." Piette said the station's designation was the result of the special relationship it has with the team in part because CBS is the home of the AFC and that made it a natural fit. "I know Channel 5 has a relationship with 'All-Access' and has for several years," he said.
Skatepark Crunch: Do bikers, skaters mix?
My jaw hurts a lot now because I just got punched. It was right after I told him I did not want to fight.
You know why that happened?
Because I was playing. Having a good time riding my bicycle with a smile on my face.
The assaulted man, who will be referred to as Jim in this article, went on to explain his belief that he was beat up by a skateboarder because he was riding in a park that was officially closed to bicycles.
Although violence is relatively rare in Summit County, the incident broached a broader question:
Can skateboarders and BMX bikers coexist in the park both safely and peacefully?
If not, is it that way on a case-by-case basis, or is there an inherent animosity or subtle war between the two groups?
It seems to depend on who you ask.
Surfing's oldest pro hangs up wetsuit after 25 years
After 25 years of professional surfing, Mark Occhilupo has retired at the age of 41.
Occhilupo first burst onto the pro surfing scene back in 1983 at the young age of 17. Brash and cocky but with the surfing ability to back it up, Occhilupo was a media sensation. Being one of Australia's best surfers, Occhilupo not only influenced the surfing world but also represented the nation he proudly came from.
Before his retirement he was the oldest surfer still competing. "Occy's" surfing career lasted 25 years, making his surfing career professional surfing's longest. Occhilupo came into professional surfing a champion and exits a champion.
Any long and successful career is going to have its share of good times, bad times, victories and defeats, Occhilupo's included.
City leaders don't mind degrading Seattle Center
We all need to add our support to make sure soldiers get their lives back when they come home. Marge Samuelson
Port Townsend NEIGHBORHOODS City enables developers to do what they want The city has enabled developers to transform neighborhoods, often to the detriment of the neighborhood, always to better the wealth of the developer. I'm sitting in the shadow of impending new condos whose future inhabitants will be driving because there is no room on the bus and Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels torpedoed the monorail project. A recent article about urban Seattle streams contains this statement by Miles Mayhew: "Wherever you live in Seattle, you're affecting a creek and the Sound." Maybe it's time for the city department that is wholly run for the profit of developers to consider this in its pro-forma "neighborhood comments." When new development goes into a neighborhood, there is virtually nothing that neighbors can comment on that will affect anything.
