The brother of California first lady Maria Shriver and nephew of President John F. Kennedy, Shriver, 54, is a member of perhaps America’s most famous political dynasty, the Kennedy clan, and was considered by some pundits to be a viable candidate with name recognition and influential contacts in the Democratic Party. His father, Sargent Shriver, was the 1972 Democratic candidate for vice president.

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar urged California on Wednesday to modernize its antiquated water system while pledging $260 million in federal stim- ulus money to help fund a variety of water projects. He and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger took an aerial tour of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, the conduit through which Northern California water flows to millions of acres of farmland and some 25 million people in the San Francisco Bay area and Southern California. The delta has become a highly troubled resource, with state water pumping, urban and agricultural pollution, and three years of below-average precipitation wreaking havoc on its habitat and the state’s water supplies.

    Why John Madden Football Has Been Such A Success Kevin Dious STS 145: The History of Computer Game Design: Technology, Culture, Business Professor: Henry Lowood March 18, 2002 Kevin Dious STS 145: The History of Computer Game Design: Technology, Culture, Business Professor: Henry Lowood March 18, 2002 Why John Madden Football Has Been Such A Success Case History Athletic competition has been a part of the human culture since its inception. One of the most popular and successful sports of today’s culture is American football. This sport has grown into a worldwide phenomenon, and like the video game industry, has become a multi-billion entity. It was only a matter of time until game developers teamed up with the National Football League (NFL) to bring magnificent sport to video game players across the globe. There are few, if any, game genres that are as popular as sports games. With the ever-increasing popularity of the NFL, it was inevitable that football games would become one of the most lucrative of the sports game genre. With all of the companies making football games for consoles and PCs during the late 1980s and 1990s, there is one particular company that clearly stood and remains above the rest, Electronic Arts. EA Sports, the sports division of Electronic Arts, revolutionized not only the football sports games but also the entire sports game genre itself. Before Electronic Arts entered the sports realm, league licenses, celebrity endorsements, and re-release of games were all unheard of. EA was one of the first companies to release the same game annually, creating several series of games that are thriving even today.

  • A Good Article
    Coaching Articles : Eric Musselman File For Coaches Jackson makes Hall of Fame on principle By Roscoe Nance, USA TODAY Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson heads the 2007 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame class, which will be inducted Saturday in Springfield, Mass. The group includes University of North Carolina men's coach Roy Williams, Louisiana State University women's coach Van Chancellor, the 1966 Texas Western University men's team, referee Marvin "Mendy" Rudolph and international coaches Pedro Ferrandiz of Spain and Mirko Novosel of Yugoslavia. Jackson, 61, has won nine NBA championships as a coach — six with the Chicago Bulls and three with the Lakers — tying Hall of Famer Red Auerbach's record. He has coached some of the NBA's greatest players, including Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen with the Bulls and Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal with the Lakers. Jackson gets players to buy into his coaching philosophy, which is influenced by Native American and Eastern beliefs. "The great thing about Phil is the way he has handled players," Hall of Famer Magic Johnson said. "He has a different style, too, that old Zen thing. I love him because he never gets too high and never gets too low and always wants to help the guys grow as men. He teaches them basketball and also teaches them outside the sport." One of his more renowned strategies is handing out books for players to read during road trips. "He's trying to get players to see that there's more to life than the NBA and your performance today," said NBA TV analyst Steve "Snapper" Jones.

  • A Conversation with Pat Summerall by Phil Kratovil
    A Conversation with Pat Summerall by Phil Kratovil How did you first get involved in sports? I grew up in a very poor family environment. My folks were separated so I lived with my grandmother, then later with my aunt and uncle. I began devoting my life to sports, always playing some kind of ball. That was what I loved. I went to college on a basketball scholarship, but also played football and tennis. When you play three sports, it’s about all you can do, so that was my religion. Sports became my way of escaping from my family and the pain I experienced growing up. I was always traveling to and playing in a sporting event and afterwards we usually celebrated with a beer drinking session or something similar. When I made it to pro football, we always played on Sunday and when I started broadcasting it was on Sunday, so I didn’t have a chance to get involved with church or any religious activity for that matter. What things were most important to you during this time? When I became a professional, achieving success became the most important thing in my life. I wanted to climb the ladder of success to be the best I could at whatever I was attempting, whether playing or broadcasting. Money was important to me too, but I knew that money would come with success. So achieving success was my vision. By this time I was married with three children and playing with the New York Giants. I played in the NFL for ten years, then went right to work for CBS as a broadcaster.
