I am a sports writer for The Agora. I am passionate about sports because I love competition. I enjoy watching teams overcoming obstacles and pulling off the upset and also appreciate the perfection that some athletes and teams possess. My blog will cover local, regional and national college and professional sports, along with news on the sports clubs at MCCC.

A new -world perspective on all that is relevant and controversial. Ranging from geo-politics and current events, to UFOs and conspiracies, this is a place for all things debatable. Here every issue deserves scrutiny, yet the possibilities remain endless. Open minds welcome, free-thought guaranteed. "As for me, all I know is that I know nothing," - Socrates

Due to a New Year’s resolution, I’ve decided to become a more positive person. Since that resolution I’ve looked at many issues in a different light. I’ll be using this blog to catalog the positive observations I make about topics like local issues, global news, history and philosophy.

Welcome to News Notes, where I discuss local and national media issues and anything else that crosses my mind.
My name is Dan Shaw, and I am an assistant professor of journalism at Monroe County Community College.
Over the last 30 or so years I’ve been a reporter, city editor, news editor, managing editor, executive editor and publisher of newspapers in seven states. In other words, I’ve had trouble keeping a job.
But in the process I’ve soaked up a little journalism and have perspectives to share on a variety of topics. I hope you’ll join me in the conversation.

Hoping this Blog about a relatively little known topic will strike your interest! The intention is for this to be a basic information source about Metrology. Often when Metrology is mentioned it is confused with Meteorology (weather, etc), or its mention will draw only a blank stare. I’ve now worked in the Metrology field for about 25 years. Part of this has been during Navy active duty and reserve service in support of the submarine fleet, the war on terrorism in the Middle East, and in various leadership roles with the Navy Information Technology system. Also, I've worked for 22 years as a Metrologist in an assortment of capacities for Detroit Edison, including service as a technical support adviser to Quality Assurance. I'm a new Adjunct Instructor of Metrology at Monroe County Community College. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Electronics Technology from Siena Heights University.
