CarlSeibert 587 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 David Carr died. He was the New York Times media critic made famous by his investigation of my former employer, which was featured in the movie 'Page One'.

TMoney 3,674 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) ^ Â Boy, the David Carr thing makes me sad. Â He was one of my favorite writers over at the NYT. He was intelligent, honest, and frank, and he had a lot more left to give. Â RIP Edited February 13, 2015 by TMoney Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wmcmanus 951 Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 RIP Earl Lloyd, who died today at age 86.  He was the NBA's Jackie Robinson.  He broke the color barrier in 1950 and like Jackie was always a gentleman and remained a true ambassador of his sport throughout his life.http://www.nba.com/sixers/community/earl_lloyd_050208.html  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blessingx 5,636 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Yutaka Katayama, Father of the Datsun/Nissan ‘Z,’ Dies at 105http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/25/business/yutaka-katayama-father-of-the-datsun-z-dies-at-105.html?mwrsm=Email "Perhaps the greatest boost Mr. Katayama gave the 240Z was its very name, which Nissan had intended only as a working model number. In the late 1960s, when the car was first introduced in Japan, a Nissan executive, enamored of a certain Lerner and Loewe musical, named it the Fairlady Z. When the first shipment of Fairlady Zs arrived in the United States, Mr. Katayama, judging the sobriquet horrifyingly effete for the American market, stripped the nameplate off each car with his own hands."
