Top 10 Things Derek Jeter Could Do with His Free Time in October!
The New York Yankees will not be making the playoffs for the first time in Derek Jeter’s career. The captain, along with closer Mariano Rivera and catcher Jorge Posada, have never had to experience what it was like for the offseason to begin in October.
What could Jeter do with his newfound free time? Here are the top 10 things he can do on his first October vacation!
10. Disguise himself as Nomar Garciaparra and play for Joe Torre and the LA Dodgers.
Derek loves “Mr. T” like a second father and would jump at the chance to play for him again, especially given the chance to win another ring. Garciaparra hasn’t been himself since he left Boston and it’s pretty obvious that Mia Hamm-Garciaparra wouldn’t mind the switch.
9. While in Hollywood, Derek should start acting more.
His resume already includes countless commercials, Saturday Night Live, Seinfeld, and Anger Management. With a little bit of work and his newfound free time, Jeter could rival Shaquille O’Neal as the next big superstar athlete to go into the movie business.
8. Work with a better IRS agent to help him get his taxes straight.
There is work to be done in New York and in Florida so that he doesn’t have to go through another fiasco like he did last year.
7. Chain himself to Yankee Stadium.
Jeter just broke the Iron Horse’s record for most hits at the “Old” Yankee Stadium, and nobody wants to see it go less than Derek does.
Seeing as how nobody will be playing there in October, Jeter should hold a peaceful sit-in as they continue work on the “New” Yankee Stadium across the street. Yogi Berra and Whitey Ford will come and join him, seeing as they also have nothing better to do.
6. Join Mike Francesa on his “Francesa on the FAN” radio show.
Mike and the Mad Dog was one of the most successful shows in sports radio history, but it has not been the same since Chris “Mad Dog” Russo left the show.
Mike needs some help, and who better to increase ratings than the “Golden Boy,” Derek Jeter. New Yorkers would love to hear what Jeter’s analysis of the Rangers or Knicks would be.
5. Become the interim US Ambassador for the United Nations.
Jeter already has a penthouse in Manhattan, so he wouldn’t have to go very far. The United States needs to work on its relationship with the United Nations as it is, and who better to work on it than Jeter?
So what that he has never worked as a Foreign Service Officer before? He can’t do much worse than any of the guys that the United States currently have.
4. Design his own clothing line.
Jeter already endorses his own “G2″ drink and his own cologne, Driven, so why not get to work on his own clothing line.
If Tiger and His Airness can do it, there is no reason as to why the Turn2 or DJ clothing line cannot come out soon. Sean “Puffy” Combs makes millions on his Sean-John line, so Jeter should just talk to some of his people about it.
3. Enroll at NYU, Columbia, or Fordham University.
It’s pretty hard for Jeter to tell kids that they should stay in school when he never went to college.
He could enroll for at least a semester’s worth of classes at any area institution. This would not only come about as an enormous media stunt, but could set an unbelievable precedent for other athletes.
2. Get married!
Jeter continues to be the most available bachelor in New York, but he is getting up there in age. If he wants to settle down and have children of his own, he better get to it.
Granted, he will have 16-year-old girls swooning for him until he is 50…but that won’t go over well in the marriage and family department.
1. Keep Alex Rodriguez out of trouble.
Now that A-Rod is going through his divorce, it gives him more opportunities to get negative attention from the media.
Jeter needs to keep an eye on A-Rod and keep him out of those strip clubs and away from Madonna. Maybe they should double date!
Derek probably won’t do any of these things…but at least they would distract from the Red Sox game that will be on television.

Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement: Fact or Fiction?
There’s been speculation for months concerning the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. If ratified, many suggest it would criminalize peer-to-peer file sharing, subject iPods to border searches and allow internet service providers to monitor their customers’ communications.
Yet all we know for certain is it’s a treaty (.pdf) about beefing up intellectual property protections being negotiated in secret by the European Union, the United Sates, Japan, South Korea, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Switzerland and New Zealand.
Dozens of special-interests groups on Monday urged the trade representatives from those nations to disclose the language of the evolving agreement in a bid to end speculation on its contents and to assist in crafting its language.
“Because the text of the treaty and relevant discussion documents remain secret, the public has no way of assessing whether and to what extent these and related concerns are merited,” the groups said in a letter (.pdf) to trade representatives from the participating nations.
The groups include Consumers Union, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Essential Action, IP Justice, Knowledge Ecology International, Public Knowledge, Global Trade Watch, U.S. Public Interest Research Group, IP Left (Korea), Australian Digital Alliance, The Canadian Library Association, Consumers Union of Japan, National Consumer Council (UK) and Doctors without Borders’ Campaign for Essential Medicines.
Robert Weissman, director of the public interest group, Essential Action of Washington, D.C., said, “Intentionally or not, a treaty to prevent unauthorized copying may easily go too far, and undermine important consumer interests. That’s why it is so important that this deal be negotiated in the light of day.”
The rampant speculation concerning the treaty’s contents is based largely on a leaked document posted on WikiLeaks, and from comments from copyright and patent holders.
Among other things, according to the comments and leaked document, the special interest groups speculate the treaty would:
Require Internet Service Providers to monitor all consumers’ Internet communications, terminate their customers’ Internet connections based on rights holders’ repeat allegation of copyright infringement, and divulge the identity of alleged copyright infringers possibly without judicial process, threatening Internet users’ due process and privacy rights; and potentially make ISPs liable for their end users’ alleged infringing activity.
Interfere with fair use of copyrighted materials.
Criminalize peer-to-peer file sharing.
Interfere with legitimate parallel trade in goods, including the resale of brand-name pharmaceutical products.
Impose liability on manufacturers of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), if those APIs are used to make counterfeits — a liability system that may make API manufacturers reluctant to sell to legal generic drug makers, and thereby significantly damage the functioning of the legal generic pharmaceutical industry.
Improperly criminalize acts not done for commercial purpose and with no public health consequences; and Improperly divert public resources into enforcement of private rights.

Weighing History Against “Imminent Threats to Public Health and Safety”
View Larger Map
Park Row, in the shadow of Fair Park, is a street lined with modest bungalows constructed mostly in the 1920s, many by and for Jewish immigrants who settled in the area early during last century — my grandfather among them. Thirty-one years ago, both Park Row and South Boulevard — which sits one street over and is lined with spectacular mansions, many rehabbed in recent years, once populated by Dallas’ civic and business leaders — were designated by the city as a historic district.
Which hasn’t stopped substantial deterioration in the neighborhood, especially among some houses closer to the Julius Schepps Freeway. Two properties especially — at 2415 and 2417 Park Row — have been crumbling for years. Both on the tax rolls for around $25,000, they’re charred, boarded-up, barely standing shells, which is why the city finally wants to tear them down. And today at 2 p.m. the Landmark Commission’s South Boulevard/Park Row Task Force will meet to discuss their demise, as both are considered “imminent threat[s] to public health and safety.” The task force will likely approve bulldozers finishing the job years of neglect started.
Only, it’s not that simple.
Back in August, we mentioned that the city council’s Public Safety Committee was looking into streamlining the process that rids neighborhoods of structures deemed “an Imminent Threat to Health or Safety.” That streamlining would involve cutting out the Landmark Commission entirely and leaving the decision to code enforcement and the City Attorney’s Office, pending final approval in municipal court. But, says Katherine Seale, Preservation Dallas’s executive director and a member of the Landmark Committee’s Designation Committee, “If the Landmark Commission is cut out, the neighborhood has no input.”
Worse, she says, “What’s scary for the historic preservation office is that we’re a certified local government, and to maintain that status we have to review demolitions in historically designated neighborhoods. If that’s taken away, it strips us of CLG status, which means we’ll no longer get grants from the state, and historic preservation will suffer.”
On Monday, representatives from the City Attorney’s Office met with the Landmark Commission to discuss the proposed new process. Commissioners were told they weren’t being excluded, necessarily, only that the process was being “streamlined.” It’s become a contentious battle — one that will likely carry over to City Hall this evening, when the Landmark Commission meets at 6 p.m. to once more discuss the amendment to the city code.
“Out of 19 cases in five years that have involved demolition because of imminent threat, all but six were approved for demolition within 30 days by the Landmark Commission,” Seale says. “And three were not approved because the city couldn’t determine the owner, and the city can’t tear down without clear proof of ownership. In the case of two others, the property owner or another interested party came forward with plans to purchase and renovate. At this point, we cannot understand why the city attorney and city staff are cutting out Landmark Commission.” -Robert Wilonsky

‘Do steelworkers need a hug? Damn right they do?’
Due to an overwhelming response from readers this past week, my Sunday column revisits the hot-button questions I initially asked in my Labor Day column:
*Are union steelworkers overpaid crybabies, or under-appreciated craftsmen?
*Are they asking for too much in their new contract with ArcelorMittal, or simply demanding a fair shake?
*Do they need a hug or a reality check?
*And, this last one from a local millworker: “Why does the local community hate us steelworkers so damn much?”
Almost one week later, I’m still getting feedback from that column - some in anger, some in tears, and all of it from passionate and opinionated residents in Northwest Indiana and beyond. I even heard from readers who live in steel-producing towns in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and who felt just as strongly about this issue as anyone in this region.

As promised in my Sunday column, I’ve posted below just about every reader response I received, from email, voice mail, and some face-to-face encounters. Feel free to join the conversation or add your two cents.
