When directed toward you, two of the more humbling words that can ever be uttered are: Youre fired! For Red Cashion, however, being fired by both the Southwest and Southland Conferences forced him to make significant attitude changes that took him all the way to the Texas Sports Hall of Fame. Reds rise to prominence in the NFLmany sportswriters described him as the most well-known official NFL historywas primarily the result of Cashion adopting a much more enthusiastic approach. He only achieved his dreams when he stopped blending into the background and began passionately asserting his personality with a trademark call that became recognized across the country. First dooowwwnnnand life to go! is an inspiring, captivating story that accentuates the power of a positive attitude. Cashion also recounts fascinating stories about some of the NFLs biggest personalities during his 25-year tenure in the league, and he provides strong opinions about the games current direction. Cashions advice for protecting current players from concussions, for example, is as revolutionary as it is rudimentary. His vision of the NFLs future is every bit as intriguing as his colorful description of his time in the league. Red represented quality, judgment and a little special flair! Former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue First dooowwwnnn is a first-rate read by a first-class man. Former Texas A&M and Dallas Cowboys linebacker Dat Nguyen
From the moment I watched a documentary of Chris Bonington and Tom Patey climb the perpendicular flanks of the Old Man of Hoy I knew that my life would not be complete until I had followed in their footholds. That was in 1983 when I was thirteen. Within months I was tackling my first crags and dreaming of standing atop Europe's tallest sea stack with the Atlantic pounding 450 feet below. Those dreams went dark at nineteen when I learned I was going blind. I hung up my harness for twenty years and tried to ignore the twinge of desire I felt every time The Old Man appeared on TV.' Middle aged, by now a family man, crime novelist and occasional radio personality, Red Szell's life nonetheless felt incomplete. He was still climbing, but only indoors until he shared his old, unforgotten, dream with his buddies, Matthew and Andres, and it became obvious that an attempt had to be made. With the help of mountain guides Martin Moran and Nick Carter, and adventure cameraman Keith Partridge, supported by family and an ever growing following, Red set out to confront the Orcadian giant.
Scientists strive to develop clear rules for naming and grouping living organisms. But taxonomy, the scientific study of biological classification and evolution, is often highly debated. Members of a species, the fundamental unit of taxonomy and evolution, share a common evolutionary history and a common evolutionary path to the future. Yet, it can be difficult to determine whether the evolutionary history or future of a population is sufficiently distinct to designate it as a unique species. A species is not a fixed entity â€" the relationship among the members of the same species is only a snapshot of a moment in time. Different populations of the same species can be in different stages in the process of species formation or dissolution. In some cases hybridization and introgression can create enormous challenges in interpreting data on genetic distinctions between groups. Hybridization is far more common in the evolutionary history of many species than previously recognized. As a result, the precise taxonomic status of an organism may be highly debated. This is the current case with the Mexican gray wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) and the red wolf (Canis rufus), and this report assesses the taxonomic status for each.
The Red Smith Reader is a collection designed for the general reader unlucky enough to have missed Smith's reign as the most beloved sportswriter in America. Beginning at the Milwaukee Sentinel, Red Smith wrote for the St. Louis Journal, Philadelphia Record, New York Herald Tribune, and the New York Times. He wrote about the sports that interested him such as baseball, football, boxing, horse racing -- and often about one of his passions, fly-fishing. His style was strictly journalistic, avoiding sporting clichés and over-dramatic description. This stance was ratified when he was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 1976, for distinguished commentary. Asked about the difficulty of turning out a column, Mr. Smith's reply has become legend: ''Writing is easy, '' he said. ''I just open a vein and bleed.
