Around the Nation board

[smedindy]

Hey, I'm still in favor of paper. What would I do during conferences while waiting for my sessions? Or on an airplane?

[Ralph Turner]

Naw, I think that I would turn that job over to some young journalism intern.    There have to be some young journalism students who would answer a serious externship want-ad.  ... I really see the internet as the new newspapers.

We have a few externs in the field actually. I guess my dream team is just guys I already know I can trust. Who knows if the idea will ever come to pass, just throwing it out there.

Also, I'm glad Gannett sees the internet as the new newspapers. I'd like to be paid for working when paper becomes obsolete.

The good thing about these boards is the we D3fans have a forum to enjoy the sports.  The dream team is "kinda known" among those who follow D3.

We all have our routines as soon as we hit the sites.  I check out the Daily Dose, look at the Headlines and lead story, follow the ATN, read the ATR's on the football boards or see what Rhodes Scholar and hopefan have found on the "D3 vs. the hoops world" board, check out the scoreboard, and check my favorite message boards for new news that has been generated by the collective fandom.  This is incredible content, and coming from the fans who love doing this stuff!

This may not have, quote,"the accuracy" of a major daily, but considering the travails with accuracy at the New York Times or the kerfuffle over the ombudsman at the Washington Post, this seems to be credible content.  I doubt that the content is maliciously wrong.

Kerfuffle.

Hmm, plus-1 karma or minus-1 for that?

As to +1/-1, you make the call

Great job on the YIR.  It was an interesting read and the format was refreshing; not just the same old list and honorable mentions.  I just wish you didn't have to use such horrible sources as Gordon and Paul for some of your superlatives/awards.   Those guys are shady characters to say the least.

K,

Nice report.  I enoyed it immensly.

The content on this site is great.  I hope your venture into the preview helped because I feel the overall usefullness of the site has improved.  Of course you need a budget to cover the cost this because unfortunately nothing is free.

In order to prove my diversity on post patterns, I might as well have the last word on this board as well. I think I've silenced every board (except Liberty League) that I've posted on here at D3sports.com

The penultimate word.

[AUPepBand]

The penultimate word.

Reminds me of my college days. Intramural football...my team went to the finals and finished second. Volleyball team went to the finals and finished second. Second place bowling team lost in semi-finals. Intramural basketball team was a solid second place.

Now, after 46 days boasting that I had the "last word," it's merely the penultimate word. Seems almost like second place to me.....but not for long!

[jdean]

You win

jdean: Thanks a lot, pal. +K for thee for playing along.

Ex-MacMurray star charged with sexual misconduct

Tribune news services
Published July 13, 2006


A former All-America running back at MacMurray College has been charged with sexual misconduct and child pornography after police say he had sex with a young girl and filmed it.

Steven Ballinger, 26, of Fairview Heights, was charged Monday with predatory criminal sexual assault with a child and child pornography, as well as with drug possession related to the less than 15 grams of cocaine police say they found in his home.

Ballinger remained jailed Wednesday in Belleville on $350,000 bond, four days after his arrest.
