| A Personal Rememberance by John Allen, League Board Member
In 1972, I was halfway home with a flat tire and walked into a bike shop that was just closing. Sheldon stayed late to fix it. That's how I first met him. There were 46 bicycles in or around his house "with a few shared wheels", by his recent count, mostly in his basement. He didn't buy bicycles off the shelf -- as a challenge to his mechanical ingenuity, and a way to spend less money and spend more time doing what he liked to do, he cobbled up customized bicycles from parts he acquired mostly through special deals, barter or secondhand, to suit himself or someone in his family. He often came up with a something unique, clever and useful. You may read about his bicycles on his Web site. He had an eye for style, but also, one or two rusty clunkers hung out by the back door getting rustier, for the quick ride to the convenience store, and several old hulks of bikes lived under the front porch.
When It Comes to a Mate, Beauty Can't Be Beat
Eastwick's work is published in the February issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, while Lee's finding were expected to be published in an upcoming issue of Psychological Science. In the first study, Eastwick joined his co-author Eli J. Finkel, an assistant professor of psychology at Northwestern University, to conduct 30-minute online surveys of 163 undergraduate students regarding their pre-dating preferences for an "ideal" romantic partner. With an average age of almost 20, the participants and their responses split by gender -- men placed an emphasis on looks, women on money. Approximately a week to two weeks later, all took part in a speed-dating event in which multiple four-minute "dates" occurred over the course of two hours. Over the following month, as speed-date meetings turned into subsequent dating, students continued to register their views on both ideal romance and the actual characteristics of their speed-date matches.
New Louisiana Tech blog: Rare WAC road win big for progressing ...
I know Coach (Frank) Scelfo has coached two quarterbacks that are now in the NFL. I have gotten real close with him. I'm also close to Coach (Conroy) Hines, the wide receivers coach, as well. I feel very comfortable with Louisiana Tech and they have always been there."But with a new head coach in Larry Fedora, Southern Miss also also caught the young quarterback's attention."They have a new coaching staff," Jefcoat told Scout.com about USM. "I've talked to them a few times. They tell me they're sorry they weren't recruiting me earlier, but had they been at Southern Miss they would have never let me commit anywhere else. They tell me I fit their system well. I've really enjoyed talking to them; they're great guys."So for now, Jefcoat is still on Tech's hooks. The Bulldogs just hope he won't become one who got away.And while Jefcoat will visit Tech over the weekend, a trip to Hattiesburg could be coming too."I'm going to Louisiana Tech this weekend (Jan.

Frail admits time running out in Hearts' bid to make top six
We know how good a team Motherwell are and we know that they are one of the teams we are chasing," he said."If we go there and get the victory then it obviously helps us close the gap. There's still not a lot in it. Obviously people always look at the league positions but in terms of points it's really still quite close. We showed in the three games prior to the Celtic match what we are capable of and I think at Parkhead we still managed to play some good football."If we keep playing away and keep fighting for one another then we will win more games than we will lose and hopefully make it a better end to the season than maybe a lot of people thought it would be." .
