One LCTL speaker's interesting job

[David Powelstock]

A link to an item in today's Chicago Tribune, about a young man who has
the job of interpreter for Yao Ming, the Chinese basketball phenom who
plays for the Houston Rockets in the NBA.  Granted, it's Chinese, rather
than Russian or Czech or any other of the languages SEELANGers teach,
but we and our students might take inspiration from knowing that unusual
and exciting opportunities for language-related experiences are out
there--we just haven't imagined them yet!
