At present, the National Electrical Code requires that arc fault circuit interrupters be ed on all volt, single phase, and ampere circuits installed in dwelling units supplying power to family rooms, dining rooms, living rooms, parlors, libraries, dens, bedrooms, sunrooms, recreation rooms, closets, hallways, or similar rooms or areas. Maura Mandt has been associated with the The ESPYs nearly as long as the show itself. She started with the program as a production assistant in 1996�Year 4 of the annual sports accolades show�and is now the program�s co-executive producer. While Mandt is not a full- time employee of ESPN, her production company, MaggieVision Productions, has produced the show since 2006. When decisions are made about The ESPYs, including the special awards handed out during the presentation, Mandt is the person at the center of those decisions. For those who haven�t watched The ESPYs over the years, the program combines athletic achievement, self-congratulations for ESPN, star-bleeping, and of notable importance, the presentation of three awards (Arthur Ashe Courage Award, the Pat Tillman Award For Service and the Jimmy V Perseverance Award) that traditionally produce the night�s best moments. On Wednesday night at 8 p.m. on ABC, as many people reading this already know, Caitlyn Jenner will presented with theArthur Ashe Courage Award during the ceremony at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. (Prior to the show, ESPN will air a special SportsCenter at 6 p.m. and a red carpet preshow at 7 p.m.) The selection of Jenner for the award, and the unknown about the Ashe selection process, has not surprisingly set off debatesthroughout social media and opinion pages, a barrage of positive and negative press for ESPN, the latter reaching its apex when NBC Sports commentator Bob Costas told The Dan Patrick Show last month that �it strikes me that awarding the Arthur Ashe to Caitlyn Jenner is just a crass exploitation play, a tabloid play. In the broad world of sports�and this is not anything against Caitlyn Jenner�I am pretty sure they could have found someone who was much closer to actively involved in sports who would have been deserving of what that award represents.� It should be noted Costas wished Jenner �all the happiness and peace of mind in the world� but reiterated the selection was a �play to pump up audience, the way lots of things are on television.� This column first requested Mandt and Connor Schell, a senior vice president at ESPN and the show�s co-executive producer, five weeks ago to talk about the process of the Ashe selection. ESPN PR said then both executives wanted the selection to speak for itself. Last week they agreed to talk about the process for the first time via phone. On a conference call with them was an ESPN PR representative and Ken Sunshine, a well-known celebrity public relations specialist who is a friend of Mandt�s. Both PR people listened in; they were not active during the interview. One bit of context: Mandt and Schell have always answered questions for this column before and with what I viewed as honesty. On the subject of why Jenner was selected for the Ashe Award, Mandt said, �I think Caitlyn�s decision to publicly come out as a transgender woman and live as Caitlyn Jenner displayed enormous courage and self-acceptance. Bruce Jenner could have easily gone off into the sunset as this American hero and never have dealt with this publicly. Doing so took enormous courage. He was one of the greatest athletes of our time. That is what the Arthur Ashe Courage Award is about, somebody from the athletic community who has done something that transcends sport. One of the biggest platforms the Arthur Ashe Foundation has is educational, and I think in this choice we have the opportunity to educate people about this issue and hopefully change and possibly save some lives. I think that is why it was the right choice.� Benjamin West was the first American artist to train in pe when he saw a statue of Apollo, he realized it was no more handsome than an American Indian warrior.
