You haven't heard a basketball game until you've heard Chick Hearn. I don't like the Lakers (Kareem, Magic and Worthy aside) but I love listening to basketball on the radio. And Chick Hearn was the best play-by-play guy ever. The sound of the ball, court, shoes, shaking rim and buzzers combined with the constant description of the action running over is spiritually transporting when attended to with distinct mental discernment. In addition, Chick Hearn coined the terms slam dunk, the charity stripe (meaning the free throw line), and he would say: "He has the Commissioner's name tattooed on his forehead!" when somebody had a shot rejected.

...maintain some legitimate business like a fast food stand. Run a hamburger stall that feeds clubbers outside nightclubs. On the day you are murdered, you will be returning from a bakery with dozens of buns loaded in your family's minivan. You stood eye-to-eye briefly before the gunman unloaded a .357 Magnum. --Listen, that horse got scratched, the one tipped for me, the one with foam buns. --You mean the one I heard on the radio finished last in the Coxcomb Cup? --Yep, Convicted Without Hearing was the name. Such a tragedy of voided pleasure indicates that it is wrong to disturb the balance of works expressing a life of faith.

Rented Churches, Dirty Burgers The Fresh Vineyard Congregation, a clan of Protestant founded less than a year ago by husband and wife Corwin and Octavia Larson, lease space in a public high school media center for their religious mission. Corwin, also the pastor, said the church is independent from any other organization but pays about $400 a week to lease the public high school television-training studio for its main sermon, and a classroom for Sunday school.

Listening is a fragile skill. Girls' and boys' specific generative development is not bound by some innate sense of nurturance coaxed forth by a repeatable series of audible commands but, rather, deepened and directed towards success by skill in active listening. The messages are shaped by different forces, driven by different urges, and subject to different stresses and failures. The audible is not implacable. It's something you choose. It's something you receive, in one form or another, in one measure or another, at all times. How you cope with it, that is a different matter. Listening is dependent on engagement in struggle and an effort to create the society mandated by cooperation.
