| Southest Rangers escorted the funeral of Col. (Ret.) Ralph D. "Hoot" Gibson 01-09-2009Fri, 09 Jan 2009 17:46:23 -0800 by aarroyo1950Southwest Rangers escorted the funeral of Col.(Ret.) Ralph D. "Hoot" Gibson Col. (Ret.) Ralph D. "Hoot" Gibson Ralph D. "Hoot" Gibson was born in Keensburg, Illinois and raised in nearby Mt. Carmel. His military career began in 1943 when he joined the U.S. Air Corps. During his 31 years as a fighter pilot, he served in the occupation of Japan after WWII; in the Korean War, where he became the world's third jet ace; and in Vietnam. Other assignments included two tours in Germany and a tour as Leader of the USAF Thunderbird Air Demonstration Team. Hoot retired from the Air Force in 1974 and came to Tucson to begin a second career in real estate. As broker of Hoot Gibson Realty and his own best sales agent, he sold hundreds of properties and touched thousands of lives in Tucson and southern Arizona. Hoot was an energetic member of the Tucson community. In addition to realty-related organizations, he was active in Kiwanis, the Business Association of Tucson, Caballeros del Sol, Executives International, and SAHBA as well as several military-related organizations: the Air Force Assoc., Daedalians, Fighter Aces Assoc., Thunderbird Alumni Assoc., River Rats, Sabre Pilots, Super Sabre Society, QB's, and the Pima Air Museum. In recent years he was inducted into the Illinois Military Aviation Hall of Fame and the Arizona Aviation Hall of Fame. Among the decorations Hoot earned in the Air Force were two Silver Stars, two Legions of Merit, four Distinguished Flying Crosses, Bronze Star/V, Meritorious Service Medal, 14 Air Medals, and the Air Force Commendation Medal. Hoot died January 2, 2009, in a fall while doing what he loved to do - showing property to prospective buyers. He is survived by his wife, Donna; three sons, Scott, Duane and Craig; four grandchildren, Alexandra, Layla, Carrie and Michael; a sister, Opal Hamm and brother, Will Gibson. Visitation will be held at BRING'S BROADWAY CHAPEL, 6910 E. Broadway on Thursday, January 8, 2009, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Services will be at Christ Community Church, 7801 E. Kenyon Dr., Friday, January 9, 2009, at 10:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your favorite charity. Related: southwest rangers etc. | |

| The Max: Host Mack Daddy Myles - Ep. 10Fri, 09 Jan 2009 17:27:24 -0800 by mylesmatisseEpisode Ten (the Finale) of THE MAX, a one hour weekly music video show I hosted as well as wrote, produced, directed, shot and edited. Named after one of Prince & The NPG's songs called THE MAX, my show was televised exclusively on SPC-TV, the student run television station at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. My alter ego, Mack Daddy Myles hosted the show. Part pimp, part Rico Suave, part cheese, my tongue in cheek creation was taken as serious by many students. I knew better. Helping along the way in this episode is A.J. (the lovely lady) and she was an amazing sport, always willing to go along for the ride. The music spotlighted on the show centered around Prince (or The Artist Formerly Known as Prince as he was known then) and featured all things hip hop, r&b, soul and rap. Unfortunately, due to copyright restrictions, I'm only able to show my between set banter! This episode is the final one and is comprised of funny outtakes.) Related: npg prince siuc spc-tv | |

| Oklahoma Band member crying Gators BCS WinFri, 09 Jan 2009 17:01:20 -0800 by wickedcool222MIAMI - Tim Tebow gave Florida the jolt it needed to become a national champion.But all his efforts in a sloppy, choppy BCS championship game likely did little to quiet fans of Utah, Southern California and Texas, all of whom already claimed the top spot."I'll tell you, we're going to enjoy a big win, we're going to enjoy the national championship," coach Urban Meyer said after the Gators beat No. 2 Oklahoma 24-14 on Thursday night. "Let someone else worry about that. Gators are No. 1."The high-scoring shootout between Heisman Trophy winners Sam Bradford and Tebow never materialized.Tebow, however, shook off a career-high two interceptions to rescue the top-ranked Gators (13-1). He drove them to the clinching score - he took two hard steps toward the line, jumped and zipped a 4-yard touchdown pass to David Nelson with 3:07 left to make it 24-14.Percy Harvin returned from an ankle injury and dashed for 122 yards on only nine carries for the Gators. His 52-yard gallop set up Jonathan Phillips' 27-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter for a 17-14 lead.
