| + | == Ask Amy- Man ponders fleeting beauty; Amy blames '80s == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>DEAR READERS: I'm marking my 10-year anniversary of writing the "Ask Amy" column by rerunning some of my favorite Q-and-A's from a decade of advice. Today's column features letters devoted to missed connections. | ||
| + | DEAR AMY: I am a 46-year-old,[http://www.hosum.net/bbs/thread-2871272-1-1.html O'Malley- Bore], never-married man who has not dated seriously in more than 20 years. | ||
| + | Recently, I have become curious about a phenomenon I have noticed: It seems to me that women in their 20s are exponentially better-looking than they were when I was in my 20s and first moved to the city. | ||
| + | Don't get me wrong I fully realize I am too old to try to date them, and I seriously doubt that I have become less repulsive to them as I have grown older. I would just like to know if there has been an actual demographic change, if this is merely the glandular consequence of middle age, or if it is due to global warming? Perplexed in Chicago | ||
| + | DEAR PERPLEXED: I agree. Young people do seem to be exponentially better-looking than when you and I were in our 20s. | ||
| + | Perhaps we belong to a distinctly unattractive generation. Maybe we can blame this phenomenon on the style of the 1980s. No one can look good in a mullet. | ||
| + | Or perhaps it has to do with our eyesight and theirs because have you noticed that as you approach middle age, you seem to be growing ever more invisible? | ||
| + | Talk about macular de-generation. (2005) | ||
| + | DEAR AMY: I got engaged at Christmas, and a few days later we visited my fiance's aunt. My fiance's sister was there. She took me aside and said, "You're not good enough to marry my brother. In fact, the only one he should be married to is me." | ||
| + | She is married and has a son. I am 20, she is 23 and my fiance is 28. His sister broke up the last girl he went with. What should I do? Worried | ||
| + | DEAR WORRIED: First you should ask your fiance for a thorough explanation of this sisterly attachment, her comment to you and her history of breaking up his relationships. Even if you find his explanation plausible, I think you should then opt for one of two choices: | ||
| + | (1) Insist on a very long engagement. You need to see how much of an impact his sister has on his and your life. If this is a once-a-year comment from someone you rarely see, you might find it easy to ignore. | ||
| + | (2) Lace up your fastest sneakers and run for the hills. Get the kind with the waffle soles you're going to want good traction. | ||
| + | Either way tread carefully. When you marry your guy, you marry into his family. His sister's attitude toward you is unlikely to change unless he insists upon it, and he should insist upon it. (2004) | ||
| + | DEAR AMY: I was under the impression that when you coordinate and make plans for the night, dine at a hip restaurant and have drinks and make out at a hip bar, that constitutes a date. And when you do that serially with one person who coincidentally is not seeing anyone else, it's called "dating." | ||
| + | She thinks we're "hanging out." Anonymous | ||
| + | DEAR ANONYMOUS: It's all semantics. Stop picking at this and enjoy yourself. (2005) | ||
| + | DEAR AMY: How long is considered an appropriate length of time to wait for someone when a date/time has been agreed upon to meet at the theater, a restaurant, museum,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Cavaliers-23-LeBron-James-Blue-Jerseys-2720/ Cavaliers 23 LeBron James Blue Jerseys], gallery or the like? Bobbie | ||
| + | DEAR BOBBIE: I'm a 20-minute-limit gal, with exceptions made for people who are circling the lot looking for a parking space and for my cousin Jan, who is always late but worth the wait. (2004) | ||
| + | DEAR AMY: What do you do if you are at someone's home for a party and the toilet gets clogged? Mary from Las Vegas | ||
| + | DEAR MARY: Yell "fire" and run out into the street? | ||
| + | You could try to fix the situation yourself,[http://www.kongao.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=11560 ], but this might lead to one of those "I Love Lucy" disasters that just compounds the problem. | ||
| + | I think a quick private word with the homeowner would be in order. You can always try to blame the dog. (2004) | ||

| + | == ALBANY, N.Y.- Former Syracuse coach dropping ESPN lawsuit 0 == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>ALBANY, N.Y. Former Syracuse assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine is dropping his defamation lawsuit against ESPN, his lawyers said Tuesday. | ||
| + | Fine sued over broadcasts aired by ESPN with claims by two former ball boys that Fine molested them more than two decades ago. Fine was fired in November 2011, days after the broadcasts. | ||
| + | The 67-year-old Fine was investigated by federal prosecutors and never charged and has maintained his innocence. | ||
| + | William Albert, spokesman for the Harris Beach law firm, said Fine voluntarily filed notice of dismissal Tuesday although both he and his attorneys believe his legal claim has merit. | ||
| + | "Mr. Fine desires to finally put all of the turmoil of the past year and a half behind him, so that he may concentrate on his future as well as the future of his family," Albert said. He added that Fine has been overwhelmed by the many friends who stood by him. | ||
| + | An ESPN spokesman said Tuesday's withdrawal was not the result of a settlement but declined to comment further. "Given the continued pendency of the Laurie Fine matter,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Detroit-Tigers-28-Fielder-Women-Pink-Splash-Fashion-Jersey-30087/ Detroit Tigers 28 Fielder Women Pink Splash Fashion Jersey], which we will continue to defend vigorously, we will not discuss litigation," Josh Krulewitz said. | ||
| + | The ex-coach's wife, Laurie Fine, has a separate defamation suit against ESPN pending in federal court. It was filed in May 2012, with trial tentatively set for November 2014. | ||
| + | After a probe spanning nearly a year, federal authorities dropped their investigation into one of the sexual abuse claims against Fine, saying there was not enough evidence to support a claim that Fine had molested a boy in a Pittsburgh hotel room in 2002. | ||
| + | The investigation began in the immediate aftermath of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal at Penn State. Two former Syracuse ball boys, Bobby Davis and stepbrother Michael Lang, came forward and accused Fine of fondling them when they were teens. Davis said the sexual contact continued for years. | ||
| + | But the claims by Davis and Lang had happened too long ago to be prosecuted. Ten days later, though, a third man,[http://www.frbiz.com/products/j-37177487/ipad_cover_cgi_005.html Commercial Air Conditioning Sydney Provider], 23-year-old Zachary Tomaselli,[http://cgi.tako.ne.jp/~friends/bbs3/light.cgi?res=7180 A Few Search Engine Placement Tips To Assist You P], of Lewiston, Maine, went public with an accusation that Fine had molested him in 2002 in a hotel room when the team played in Pittsburgh. The same day, ESPN aired an audiotape in which Fine's wife,[http://cgi.members.interq.or.jp/rap/takepee/i/epad/epad.cgi?res=676036 Are You New to SEO Trade then You have Come to the],[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Blackhawks-88-Kane-black-new-3rd-kids-Jerseys-6888/ Blackhawks 88 Kane black new 3rd kids Jerseys], Laurie Fine, apparently acknowledged to Davis she knew about the molestation he alleged. | ||
| + | Fine was fired Nov. 27, 2011, after Tomaselli came forward and the federal government began investigating Tomaselli's claim, the only one that fell within the statute of limitations. | ||
| + | Tomaselli was accused of sexually abusing a boy at a camp in 2010 and his father had said his son was lying about Fine. Tomaselli, who eventually was convicted of sexual abuse and sentenced to three years and three months in prison, insisted he was telling the truth. | ||
| + | Before he went to jail, Tomaselli took the media on a wild spin, repeatedly lying in a bid, he said, to keep his name in print.</html> | ||
