A moment of silence please
Robert Adler, a US inventor best known for the creation of the couch potato’s dream device, the TV remote control, has died at the age of 93.
He received an Emmy award in 1997 for the 1956 invention jointly with fellow engineer Eugene Polley.
Adler earned more than 180 US patents throughout his 58-year career.
His widow Ingrid said the remote was not his favourite invention, that he rarely watched television and was “more of a reader”.
Ex-Baylor star walks away from basketball
Far from her family and the friends of a basketball life, removed from the Baylor University community where she helped win the 2005 NCAA women’s championship, Emily Nkosi has taken a once unimaginable turn. At 21, as a student at the University of Massachusetts, she has not held a basketball since last fall, when she helped young children discover the value of a game she left behind.
Her name was Emily Niemann when her obsessive pursuit of a national championship required a daily commitment throughout her adolescence. But after playing an essential role in Baylor’s NCAA championship victory against Michigan State, Nkosi chose a path that led her to leave the school, publicly acknowledge her life as a lesbian, give up the game and embrace a new identity.
The school mentions it doesn’t revoke scholarships for homosexuality, so I would have liked to see what would have happend if she was open about her sexuality while at Baylor.
I also appreciated this Baylor Law grad’s point of view of the matter.
