New baby at Pittsburgh Zoo

Free Rice

SW PA can help feed the World by playing a word game at http://freerice.com

Press

“What if just knowing what a word meant could help feed hungry people around the world? Well, at FreeRice it does . . . the totals have grown exponentially.”

- The Washington Post

“Web game provides rice for hungry . . . FreeRice went online in early October and has now raised 1 billion grains of rice [by November 9].”

- BBC News

“Addictive, yes. But . . . each correct answer results in the donation of rice to help feed the hungry around the globe. Perhaps that qualifies the game as a good addiction . . . one with redeeming qualities, something that’s, oh, didactic and edifying.”

- Kansas City Star

Sad day in Pittsburgh

A Beloved Pittsburgh Native and Icon Myron Cope passed away on Wednesday at age 79.  The memorable voice of Myron Cope was heard for over 30 years.  Many Steeler fans will remember Myrons "Yoi" and "Double Yoi" letting them know that something important just happened in the game.  Myron Cope was the only football commentator who was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame.  Friday was declared "Terrible Towel Day" by Pittsburgh' Mayor and a Memorial Service was held in Downtown Pittsburgh at the City County Building. There were hundreds in attendance and they observed a moment of silence while everyone waved their Terrible Towels in Myron's memory.  Myron Cope will be remembered fondly by many.
