At long last, we will hopefully get some much anticipated relief from having to jump for the remote to lower the sound volume when a television commercial airs while watching TV.
On December 15th, 2009, the House of Representatives passed The Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act (CALM) by voice vote!
The Act enables the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to monitor the volume of advertisements in television programming and determine acceptable levels.

Elijah - Green Fighting Irish 2009
On Thursday, October 29, 2009, the Green Fighting Irish hosted the Gold Bandits for the second of two playoff games in the Rochester Youth Football League. The first game was played on Wednesday, October 28th between the Purple Prowlers and the Blue Outlaws, and resulted in a Purple win (big surprise).
Since the Green B team didn't finish in the top 4 (they finished 5th), they had to turn their equipment in before the playoff games. They were invited to keep their game shirts to attend the A playoff game and support them. Probably the coolest thing for me in this was the fact that Elijah and 2 other players from the B team were selected to join the A team in the playoffs. Way cool!
The weather was clear but chilly, and I got to run the scoreboard, which was quite a surprise to me. I was asked by one of the coaches to do it, which I found to be entertaining but no simple task for one person. You have to type in all the down, yards to go, ball on the X yard line, scores, quarter, time, etc, plus accurately start and stop the game clock. I think I managed OK until the end of the game, when the officials hollered up to me to put a certain time back on the clock. » More...
