Gender Equity in Athletics and Sports
Women with disabilities face double discrimination--discrimination based on gender and discrimination based disability. Women of color who are disabled face yet a third type of discrimination...The limited available statistics suggest that economically, socially, and psychologically, women with disabilities fare considerably worse than either women who are nondisabled or men who are disabled. (Women and Disability Awareness Project, 1989).
Disabled Women in Sport
Throughout history, disability has been closely linked with poverty, poor nutrition, inadequate health care, lack of opportunity for exercise and socialization, and stress. Women have been specifically associated with nervous disorders, depression, and mental illness. Basically, anything emotionally debilitating has been assigned to the female.
Getting interested and involved in sports is difficult for women and girls with disabilities because of the limited exposure they get to sports, especially when they are young. Those who become disabled during their adult life, by things like accident or illness, are many times already involved in athletics. When that is the case, they are highly likely to remain active in sports.
Disabled athletes often need to feel empowered in order to get involved in athletics. Nondisabled people learn sports primarily through their families when they are children. Athletes with disabilities, however, often attribute their participation and success to self-motivation and friends. Women athletes who become disabled later in life already have a support system of teachers, coaches, friends, and partners who still encourage them. Disabled athletes with encouraging, supportive parents are often leaders in their sport and community. They believe their success in leadership is a result of good parenting.
Many athletes with disabilities of all kinds agree that sports are an important way to affirm their competence and worth. Sports sway the focus from people's disabilities and place attention on their abilities. Through sports, a person's skill and expertise is valued and significant.
Approximately 43 million people in the United States have documented disabilities. This figure includes almost 10% of all children, 30% of young and middle-aged adults, and about half of the population older than 65.
The United States has eight major sport organizations for the disabled. They are modeled after the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC), which is for nondisabled athletes. The organizations and their founding dates are as follows: American Athletic Association for the Deaf, 1945; National Wheelchair Athletic Association, 1956; National Handicapped Sports, 1967; Special Olympics International, 1968; U.S. Association for Blind Athletes, 1976; U.S. Cerebral Palsy Athletic Association, 1978; Dwarf Athletic Association of America, 1986; U.S. Les Autres Association, 1986.
Since 1988 disabled athletes, except for the deaf and mentally retarded, have been required by international policy to compete at the same time and place.
A 1991 Harris poll revealed that nondisabled Americans have trouble relating to those with disabilities. The poll broke down explicitly how the nondisabled felt toward the disabled:
- 91% - admiration, people with disabilities overcome so many barriers
- 74% - pity, because of their situation
- 58% - awkwardness or embarrassment, due to lack of knowledge about how to behave
- 51% - lack of concern, belief that disabled persons can manage okay
- 47% - fear, possibility that similar disabilities can happen to oneself
- 18% - anger, disabled people cause inconvenience
- 9% - resentment, disabled people get special privileges
- 30% of nondisabled people surveyed would be concerned if a coworker was disabled and 23% would be concerned about having a disabled supervisor.
- Physical disabilities, except for arthritis and osteoporosis, are more common in males. This helps to explain why women have limited access to sports such as wheelchair basketball, tennis, and track.
The Media: Sports UnIllustrated
Information is scarce when it comes to women with disabilities and even more limited for disabled women in sport. The national news rarely features women athletes who have overcome disability barriers. This lack of attention creates few disabled female athlete role models. Even television commercials that show disabled athletes almost always choose male models.
Journals specifically for the disabled obviously provide adequate coverage of disabled athletes. Magazines such as Sports n' Spokes; Palaestra: The Forum of Sport, Physical Education, and Recreation for the Disabled; andDeaf Sports Review. feature disabled people in sport. However, they do not make up for the lack of equal-opportunity coverage in the mainstream media, local and national, including magazines like Sports Illustrated.
Subjects like sports psychology and sociology largely ignore disability in textbooks and journals. Even women's studies and women's athletics can be faulted for poor coverage of disabled female athletes. Women who participate in sport and who are also disabled are rarely mentioned in these two arenas.
Disabilities in the School
Disabled females involved in college athletics are rarely honored or given much attention on their campus. Exceptions do exist on a few college campuses around the country. The University of Illinois at Champaign and Wright State University in Ohio both sponsor women's wheelchair basketball teams.
Texas Woman's University has awarded one its highest honors to a disabled female athlete in the past. The coveted alumnae award was given to Sue Moucha, a Paralympic gold medalist. It was presented with the same recognition and importance to Moucha as it had been years earlier to Olympic gold medalist Louise Ritter. The university did not divide their athletes into two separate categories: nondisabled and disabled. Instead, an athlete with cerebral palsy and an able-bodied athlete were bestowed with the same honor.
In 1992 at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania, Roberta Abney and Dorothy Richey established the precedent of equal coverage for ethnic minorities and disabled athletes when describing opportunities for minority women in sport. Their criteria posed four questions: How do people with disabilities see themselves? What disabilities are women most likely to have? Does gender bias enter into diagnosis? How do life experiences of women with disabilities face double and triple discrimination?
Three international events follow the nondisabled Olympic model of competitive sport. They are Special Olympics, Paralympics, and Deaf Sport and they each do a great deal to contribute to the awareness of women athletes with disabilities.
The first Special Olympics took place on July 20, 1968 at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois. This international movement began in order to show that people with mental retardation were capable of remarkable achievement in sports and beyond. In 1991 the Special Olympics brought in 6,000 athletes from 100 countries creating the largest sporting event in the world. To honor the 30th anniversary of the games, on July 20, 1998, Special Olympics launched a world-wide celebration that will culminate in July of 1999. The theme of the event is to honor the athletes, families, and volunteers that have been significant in changing the perceptions about mental retardation.
The International Paralympic Committee was officially founded in 1989. However, Olympic-type games for athletes with disabilities were organized as early as 1960 in Rome. These games revolved around the physically disabled only, especially those with spinal cord injuries. In 1976, games in Toronto began including other disabled athletes like the blind and amputees. Now, that the Paralympics has been officially recognized, it holds its games in the same year and country as the Olympics.
Sportsclubs for the deaf have been in existence since 1888. The deaf have never been involved in games that include other disabilities and still organize their own world games, the Silent Games. Deaf Sport is another type of international games that are held the year following the Olympics. People who participate in Deaf Sport have a hearing loss of 55 decibels or greater. They see themselves as separate, culturally and linguistically, from the disabled community. Most athletes use sign language at their games, and press coverage of their events are gradually growing.

Volume XIXIXIL — No. 0 Beth-el Collage and Cemetery, Across from the Fairgrounds Sunday, April 1, 1962
Lundquist Urges Chapel Cut
Senate Backs
Choir Rebels
At a recent student senate meet-ing
several college choir members,
who of necessity shall remain an-onymous,
requested that in view
of the work demanded, the college
choir be designated a five credit
course. The proposal was accepted
by the senate and will be present-ed
to the administration.
The proposal is unique because
it is the first time that any action
has come from the students them-selves.
Heretofore, any legislation
concerning the choir was handed
down by the director. Student opin-ion
has finally been reflected as it
really is.
In presenting the proposal a stu-dent,
who was garbed in a black
hood to completely conceal his
identity, listed several problem
areas that had prompted the for-mulation
of the document.
Included on the list were such
grievances as undue attention giv-en
to perf-,ctioy.: in the music, prac-tices
that went well into the dinner
hour, no peeking allowed, extra
rehearsals on Thursdays and Sat-urdays,
and the most obnoxious
annoyance, the daily backrub.
When questioned on this action,
director Robert Berglund allegedly
commented, "I really feel that the
students should have taken this
issue to the music council before
they went to the student senate."
Three members of the depart-ment
of political science and his-tory
have formed a local chapter
of the national anti-communist
group, the Minutemen. Professors
Roy C. Dalton, W. Hugo Peterson,
and Dalphy I. Fagerstrom have
left their ivory towers in Arona A
and have responded in dynamic
fashion to the imminent peril which
now contronts our nation.
"The communist meanace is
growing daily by leaps and
bounds," says ex-pacifist and home-owner
Peterson, "and we must im-mediately
arm ourselves to defend
our liberty, our lives, and espec-ially
our property." After taking
two seminars on communism from
Dr. Fred Schwartz, Professor Dal-ton
feels that "while there is a
little danger to our freedom from
Soviet Russia, the major commun-ist
threat to our American way of
life is from internal subversion.
We have taken as our motto the
ancient Greek saying, "Patriot,
know thy neighbor" and feel we
must concentrate our efforts on
watchful surveillance of those a-mong
us who might be enemies of
our country."
Ex-World War II combat hero,
Sergeant Dalphy (Hardnose)
Harold Lidbom, business man-ager
of Bethel college and semin-ary,
has announced a new pro-gram,
RISE (Royal Investment
Subsidiary Enterprise), for the im-mediate
utilization of the future
campus site.
Sgt. `Hardnose' Fagerstrom
Fagerstrom has been elected com-mander-
in-chief of the new group.
"We consulted William Buckley, Jr.
and General Walker about which
national group to affiliate our-selves
with, and decided that the
John Birch Society wasn't doing as
much as it could to meet the im-mediate
danger. Forceful action is
imperative, and it is needed now.
By the end of next week we will
have our block patrol organized."
"I can't stand seeing all that
land standing empty," Mr. Lidbom
was reported to have said, "and
since we in the Bethel community
are interested in developing the
total individual, while at the same
time trying to benefit the school,
The group is currently drilling
once a week with the Bethel drill
team, and is also discussing whe-ther
to ask the federal government
for surplus weapons or to buy
their own.
Muck Proposes
Metracal Diet
Webster Muck, dean of students,
announced recently that costs of
attending Bethel can be cut if stu-dents
agree to drink Metracal for
two meals of the day. Board
charges for students on the Met-racal
plan will drop from $175 to
$100 a semester.
Each student electing to partici-pate
in the new program will be
under the care of the health ser-vice.
"Actually this is just our
way of contributing to the na-tional
emphasis on physical fit-ness,"
explained Dean Muck, "and
I might add that the Metracal
comes in vanilla, chocolate, and
For the first time in Bethel's
history, chapel attendance has ex-ceeded
the 100% mark for an en-tire
week. President Lundquist, in
expressing his profound gratifica-tion
at such an achievement, is re-ported
to favor the omission of one
day's chapel to "give students time
for needed relaxation and social
The new record, according to an
exhaustive study by Moberg and
Company, Researchers Unlimited,
was the result of several factors.
Most significant was the mass-recruitment
of high school stu-dents.
Under the active guidance
of Prof. Sheldon Fardig, a sched-ule
was arranged whereby several
student teachers brought their
classes to chapel each day. The
motives for the program involved
the encouragement of the admini-stration
and the beyond-the-call-of-
duty attitude of practice teach-ers
toward chapel attendance.
Another factor contributing to
the record-breaking phenomena ap-peared
to be the shanghai-ing of
warm-hearted landladies by off-cam
pus students_ However, one
we are beginning an agricultural
co-op on the new property."
The biology department was the
first in the college to give its en-thusiastic
endorsement to this new
field of study, and Alice Johnson,
food service manager, immediately
announced that within a short time
the dining hall would become self-sufficient.
Since many of the seminarians
are called to rural pastorates, this
program should be of special bene-fit
to them. In fact, the Seminary
Wives association has already re-quested
permission to hold one
night class per week on the site.
Charles Ferguson, director of
development, recently returned
from a promotional tour of the
west coast for RISE with a report
of the initial donations of 57 cows,
48 chickens, 29 pigs, and 3 goats
from conference farmers. Reports
from local RISE chairmen in Illin-ois
and Iowa are equally as encour-aging.
When it was learned that the
government was donating surplus
corn and oats to the project, the
college received a three-word tele-gram
from C. E. Carlson in Wash-ington,
D.C., reading, "Refuse the
aid!" The only administrative com-ment
on this proposal was a glee-ful
chuckle from Mr. Lidbom that
"At this rate, we don't have to
buy anything."
Temporary buildings are current-ly
being erected on the site. In an
unexpected surge of dedication,
these buildings were contracted for
by the Bethel Women's Federation,
who have already begun the con-struction.
(cont'd. on p. 2)
elderly woman was anxiously car-ried
out after a severe heart at-tack
following the 10:35 bell. Ap-parently
she thought the alarm
signified a nuclear attack.
In addition, the inauguration of
an inter-departmental check-up
system among the faculty has com-pletely
filled the famous North
End section of the bleachers. Be-cause
faculty seem reluctant to
betray colleagues teaching in the
same field, departments have been
paired-off on a "buddy" basis to
record each other's attendance.
A contest is being held concur-rently,
in which several depart-ments
are vying for top honors.
Unfortunately, the Christianity de-partment
has as yet failed to pull
itself out of the cellar. Dr. Mounce
is reported to have explained this
by the comment that "we are con-cerned
that the other departments
be given a chance to excel in this
way." Accordingly, a rival chapel,
conducted exclusively in Koine
Greek, is being held in Dr. Wessel's
Attendance has been further
aided by the total exhaustion of
many students which enables them
to replenish lost sleep while sitting
on the extraordinarily comfortable
fieldhouse benches.
Bridge Debate
Prods Senate
Since the inspiring political rally
in the fieldhouse during Political
Emphasis week, attendance at sen-ate
meetings has increased. Inter-ested
freshmen crowded out the
faculty lounge last week, forcing
the senate members to move to the
college auditorium for further de-liberation.
Mindful of the need for issues on
campus and attempting to foster
partisan, divisive strife, senate
vice-president Larry Petersen mov-ed
that "in view of the difficulty
many students were having in get-ting
to chapel, and in view of the
fact that many faculty members
persisted in being late to class be-cause
of slow ferry service, and
in view of the lack of qualified
lifeguards and the fact that they
are on duty only during specified
hours, and in view of the fact that
the inclusive fee does not include
shoe repair service, and in view of
the fact that a river has begun to
cut a channel across the middle
of the Bethel campus, thought

New Editors Voice High Hopes In Promotion of RISE
Formation of a Bethel Women's
It was announced today that
Sharon Dickau has finally resigned
her post as editor of the CAR-RION.
After dominating the pub-lication
for a year, she has given
up and plans to get married. Al-though
she was not available for
comment, it is understood that she
got sick of all the work and quit.
The same source predicted that
Dean Dahlquist would be named
her successor. It is hoped that he
will have more success than
Sharon. Dean, if actually selected,
will be the shortest CARRION edi-tor
on record. Qualifications he
will try to carry to the office in-clude
a school-teacher mother, out-standing
ability on the piano, and
a life-long interest in literature,
the arts, and members of the oppo-site
sex. He is reported to have
said, "If chosen, I promise to do
everything in my power to im-prove
relations between the CAR-RION
and the SPIRE."
Nancy Robertson, who her friends
in the newspaper business affec-tionately
call "Bob," is trying des-perately
to be chosen news editor.

Dear Editor:
As a student of history, it has
been a source of real joy to me
that the concept of Holy War, of
such value to the meaning of the
Church in times past, has once
again appeared in force in our
twentieth century.
No longer are the feminine, cow-ardly
values of peace extolled as
they were at the beginning of this
century by many befuddled Chris-tians.
Now the true mission of the
Church is realized to be what its
Founder considered it to be — a
physical fight to the death! What
better way to vindicate the cause
of Christ than to extinguish Com-munist
atheists in Russia and
wherever else they rear their ugly
As some at Bethel perhaps rea-lize,
there is no better way to nur-ture
this spirit than through the
time-tested medium of inter-col-legiate
football. Truly this great
American game does involve a
moral issue — whether or not the
Christian leaders of tomorrow will
possess the spirit—the strength—
the determination to stamp out
Communism. The sooner such
feeble fearful fanatics as inhabit
the gopherhole realize the neces-sity
of the gridiron for the con-tinued
existence of the Church, the
better off the latter will be.
In the words of the poet:
Lives of football men remind us
That we too should push and tug
And, departing, leaving behind us,

Bethel Plans
To Develop
Brainy Athletes
Beginning this summer, a new
program will be inaugurated to
improve the competence and ulti-mately
the records of our athletic
teams. The need for such a pro-gram
has existed during most of
Bethel's history, but has manifest-ed
itself in an acute manner just
this year. The records of most of
the athletic teams, to put it mildly,
could be improved.
With this objective in mind, the
coaching staff has frantically laid
out plans for a summer workshop.
Outside help has been rushed in,
and facilities and technical aid
have been solicited. The coaches
appear enthusiastically optimistic
about the program, and will be
giving it their hopeful support.
The first phase of the program
will be designed to increase the
number of participants on our ath -
letic teams. Basic drills in elemen-tary
English, arithmetic, social
studies, and spelling, conducted by
the best elementary school teach-ers
available, will form the back-ground
of the curriculum. The
coaching staff feels that such drills
are necessary to assure the eligi-bility
of its athletes.
The second and final phase of
the program is designed to in-crease
the effectiveness of the
teams in the area of public rela-tions.
Those who participate in
this area of the summer improve-ment
program will undoubtedly
benefit tremendously. The course
will be conducted by Karen Nel-son,
and will be titled: "How to
Write Intelligent Letters to the
Editor of the CARRION."
Faculty basketball team has been
announced by Miss Effie Nelson,
team coach, manager, social chair-man,
and first-string center.
The team, sponsored by the pub-lic
relations office, will serve as
a "vital contact" in conjunction
with the RISE campaign in the
local churches, according to Nels
Stjernstrom, publicity chairman.
Plans are underway to schedule
single games or tournaments with
all conference church women's so-cieties
who wish to participate. As
half-time entertainment at all
games, a RISE presentation will
be given. In accordance with con-ference
game rules, no admission
will be charged, but a free will
offering will be taken.
Team positions were announced
at the first practice session last
Sunday afternoon, following a pic-nic
luncheon. They are : Lillian
Ryberg and Betty Tutton, for-wards;
Jeaninne Bohlmeyer and
Marilyn Starr, guards; Effie Nel-son,
center; Gerald Healy, Web-ster
Muck, and Chris Weintz,
cheerleaders. The position of stu-dent
adviser is still available.

In keeping with the purpose of
the campus, the architecture will
be rural American. Mr. Lidbom has
also disclosed that he was able to
secure "such a good deal" from a
conference bridge contractor that
all the new buildings will be paint-ed
the same color of orange as the
present campus post office.
So far there has been only slight
opposition from the Arden Hills
community, and the Public Rela-tions
office is busily preparing film
strips and charts to reassure the
neighborhood. Student reaction to
the program is varied.

should be given to thinking about
the building or purchase of some
type of permanent structure which
would alleviate the situation."
As puzzled senate members at-tempted
to reflect student opinion,
senior class president Bob Hurt
agreed with Mr. Petersen that the
situation was crucial and needed
immediate action in view of a pos-sible
drop in chapel attendance,
the hindrance to on-going academic
endeavor, personnel difficulties,
the limitations of the inclusive fee,
and the new river.
Corresponding secretary Mabel
Moen inquired if Mr. Petersen had
been thinking of a bridge, while
academic coordinator Marilyn Ben-son
wondered if the matter could
be properly handled by the student
Following this unusual amount
of discussion, senate president
Steve Peterson declared that there
were three possibilities for action
on the matter: the motion could be
passed by the members of the sen-ate
who thought that a permanent
structure of this nature would be
a worthwhile addition to the cam-pus;
the motion could be tabled
and a committee appointed to look
into the matter further and report
its findings to the senate at a
future meeting; the motion could
be defeated by the members of the
senate who thought that a perman-ent
structure of this nature would
not be a worthwhile addition to the
James Spickelmier, senate trea-surer,
moved that the motion be
tabled in view of the controversy
surrounding the issue and that a
committee be appointed to look
into the matter further and report
its findings to the senate at a
future meeting.

Myles sees funny side of 'fight'
These days Queensland prop Nate Myles can see the funny side of his now infamous State of Origin "fight" with NSW captain Paul Gallen.
And thanks to an NRL-backed TV ad campaign so can a whole lot of other people.
Gallen's barrage of blows on an unsuspecting Myles in the 2013 Origin opener infuriated most north of the Tweed and prompted the NRL to activate the "one punch" sin bin rule.
However, Myles hardly came out swinging on Sunday when reminded of what Queensland believed was Gallen's latest low act - calling Maroons fans "two heads".
"I have probably got enough for two heads - he (Gallen) might need four hits," he smiled.
Any lingering animosity between the pair was put to bed at the 2013 Rugby League World Cup.
The evidence is there for all to see in a TV ad in which the pair square off again, this time to encourage people to seek help for mental health issues.
The NRL-backed "What's Your State of Mind" campaign is aimed at breaking down stigmas around mental health and reminding people that it's okay to seek help.
In the amusing commercial, Myles and Gallen - decked out in full Origin kit - awkwardly address each other without mentioning the elephant in the room before Myles tries to break the ice.
"Gal, any idea why we are standing in the middle of a car park dressed like this," Myles asks.
"No, but it's good to chat with you anyway. How's footy?," Gallen says.
"Good," Myles says before another uncomfortable silence.

University of Baltimore
Best hidden gem near school Tapas Teatro. I passed it all the time but never knew what it was or went inside until another UB classmate referred me. Hands down one of my favorite places to eat, in Midtown/Station North. Best events during the year I love the Student Events Board's Welcome Back Party and Artscape. Both are entirely free events that tie a community together -- whether it's the UB community or the community of Baltimore. What to do on the weekends On the weekends you will find me at a bar like Brewer's Art or a lounge like Red Maple -- if I'm not attending an automotive event at one of the local tracks, such as Capitol Raceway right outside of the city. Best pubic transportation The best transportation in the area would have to be the Charm City Circulator. You can take it from UB's campus to the Inner Harbor and back without spending a dime. What I wish someone had told me when I was a freshman Don't be afraid to meet new people. Don't stress too much. Remember you are supposed to have fun. Best on-campus event The semi-annual Block Party (pictured) and SEB's Welcome Back Party. --By Jeremey Cornitcher, 21, marketing major

Would you eat a pig's foot?
I was on the CBC national radio Q with Jian Ghomeshi, a man who doesn't eat mammals. You can listen to our conversation here - it's the September 27 episode (I am on first). Let me know what you think about the philosophy of eating the whole animal.
Selling a book, or as my friend Bénédict says the "service après vente" makes writing it seem easy. So I'm fleeing to Paris, the mecca of odd bits, for some R & R.

I don't love the texture of pork or cow feet but they make good broth.

Exactly right. You should try making jelly from cow's feet, it is fabulous.

A long time ago I remember being put off by the blubbery skin and fat that surrounded the "knuckles" we were having for lunch (at a tavern in Montreal). I didn't want to try it. I was prodded enough to give it a shot. My friends did me a huge favour. It is some of the sweetest meat on the animal. Some "hot" mustard and simple boiled potatoes with butter was the entire meal, well + beer, of course.

Growing up in the W.I., cow heel soup, tripe soup or stewed tripe, ox tail stew, pigs feet souse was very common, to this day I still prefer them when I can get it to the fast cooking tasteless fare that's called gourmet.

Sounds like you ate very well as a child, I hope you are still making those dishes.

I'll be making "manitas de cerdo" this week. Great for the broth and gelatin :D

Being from Portugal we DO eat all these "oddities" and even today living in WI I still cook much as back home, so i will always have some pig's feet, cow tongue and so one in my freezer. Much as Diana's comment, we may be latins but keeping our traditions in the Midwest.
- 26 October 2011 at 12:26
- Jennifer said...
Good for you. Now we just have to spread the word as to how delicious these odd bits are.
- 28 October 2011 at 05:58
- Nicole Gaudette said...
Jennifer, my good friend's whole food philosophy is in agreement with yours. He cooks head to tail, and is so excited to receive your new book. He makes a marvelous pickled tongue! (thanks to the "Au Pied de Cochon" cookbook). We have dinner parties often, and we anticipate having feasts from your new book. Your books are wonderful. I have "Bones", and hope "Fat" is under my tree for Chrismas. Keep up the great work.

I was getting that impression looking back at the forum trying to work out what the categories mean.
How many John Wayne quotes did everyone see?

We didn't put coordinates for the Bala one because we didn't have a map - or so we thought (should have used Navigator grids). We were beginning to think they were a myth...

A semi-nude Lohan picture has the starlet tweeting in self-defense.
The photo, which shows a topless Lohan at a Top Fornaria shoot, was posted on her Twitter page Sunday night along with the following message: "OLD PHOTOS. I'm THAT bored."
Radar.com picked up on it right away and suggested she had too much time to kill and was sharing too much info.
Lohan tweeted back that the photo "was sent by my sister as a PRANK. SO calm down radaronline.com with FAKE STORIES!"

What is the best process to go through when you are searching for a dentist? Some might think that is an easy choice. They are all qualified to look after teeth after all. However, many different factors come in to consideration when you are trying to make a choice over who is the best Glasgow Dentist
You might want to choose a dental surgery that is near to you. So location is a factor. Obviously, having to travel a long distance to obtain your dental treatment is a huge inconvenience if you lead a busy lifestyle. However it is worth travelling that little bit further to visit a Glasgow Dental Practice that you believe in and that you know will give you the very best treatment available.
Past experience is also a very important factor. Many people will choose to visit the same dentist over and over again because they have grown to trust them over the years and this is something which should not be taken lightly. The anxiety that is felt by a lot of individuals when it comes to receiving dental treatment is a major obstacle that many can find difficult to overcome. For this reason, visiting a dentist that they know and trust can play an enormous factor in making that decision.
Word of mouth is something that many business owners rely upon and for good reason. This is also very true when we are talking about dental surgeries. A positive recommendation from a friend is an excellent thumbs up about the quality of service and can help to make the choices easier. Much of the internet is also word of mouth, with people posting experiences on blogs, forums and review sites.
The dentists own website is also a good chance for them to convince you about the quality of their service. A dirty, badly maintained surgery is not going to give you a good impression about the care and attention that you will receive. The same is true of a bad website. The site presents a public image of the practice and you should be wary about a dentist who does not take the care to make sure that this image is good.
It is also very important that the dentist takes his time to make you feel welcome at the practice and that the other staff, such as nurses, technicians and receptionists are both friendly and professional. If you are taking children along to receive treatment then this might even be more important. Children might develop dental phobias for the future if they are not made to feel at home and looked after properly at the dentist.

The University of Florida men's and women's track & field teams finished the 2012 Southeastern Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championships with a dozen individual titles, including eight on the final day of competition at Bernie Moore Stadium on the campus of LSU. The Florida women earned a runner-up finish with 138 points and the Florida men came in fourth with 93 points overall. LSU's women and Arkansas' men claimed the 2012 SEC Outdoor Championships.
Senior distance runner Genevieve LaCaze (Queensland, Australia) made history on Sunday as she took home the 2012 SEC Commissioner's Trophy, scoring 30 points as the SEC champion in the women's 3,000 meter steeplechase, the women's 1,500 meters and the women's 5,000 meters. LaCaze is the first female athlete in the history of the SEC to ever win those three events.

Senior distance runner Genevieve LaCaze (Queensland, Australia) made history on Sunday as she took home the 2012 SEC Commissioner's Trophy, scoring 30 points as the SEC champion in the women's 3,000 meter steeplechase, the women's 1,500 meters and the women's 5,000 meters. LaCaze is the first female athlete in the history of the SEC to ever win those three events.
"I'm extremely proud of Gen and everything she's done this weekend," Florida head coach Mike Holloway said. "It's the first time anyone has ever been able to win those three events and I doubt it'll ever happen again. To be able to watch her make history, that's special."
LaCaze is the first Florida female to win the Commissioner's Trophy outdoors since LaQuanda Cotton shared the honors in 2002 and ties as the highest point-scorer in Gator women's track & field history alongside Shelly Steely in 1985. LaCaze is the highest scorer at the SEC meet on both the men's and the women's side since Georgia's Hyleas Fountain in 2004.
LaCaze won the 3,000 meter steeplechase on Saturday evening and turned around on Sunday afternoon to compete in the finals of the women's 1,500 meters. LaCaze ran a steady race and took charge the last 100 meters to take home her second title of the weekend, winning in 4:13.44, a new personal best. Cory McGee (Pass Christian, Miss.) took the lead heading into the final 600 meters, giving LaCaze enough space to finish strong, as McGee finished second in 4:15.46. Teammates Agata Strausa (Riga, Latvia) and Mandy Perkins (Ormond Beach, Fla.) finished 7-8 with times of 4:19.37 and 4:21.51, respectively, tallying 21 points for the Gators in the event.
"Turning up today in the 1,500 and having so many girls in the race, it helped having Cory take the lead with 600 meters to go," LaCaze said. "I can't even explain the last lap. I crossed the finish line and I wasn't really sure it was real. That set up a great rest of the day."
LaCaze then ventured into the women's 5,000 meters, a race with 29 participants. The Australia native came into the event with adrenaline and momentum from her previous two victories and came out of it a champion, winning in 16:26.38, earning yet another title and another 10 points for the Gators.
"The 5,000 was all about getting in there, focusing, getting in the zone and then it all came down to the last 800 meters," LaCaze said. "By that point, I had adrenaline, I had the crowd, I had everything. It was just an awesome weekend and I don't think it could have gone better. I think God put everything together for me this weekend."
LaCaze was quick to credit her coaches for her history-making performances.
"I have to be honest, it was kind of scary to get a new coach, especially halfway through my senior season, but I think Coach Spangler and I have done a good job at meeting each other halfway and really listening to each other," LaCaze explained. "He's added some great training sessions and great knowledge and I fully trust him now and know what he has planned is for my best interest. He and Coach Holloway are going to get me where I need to go. This weekend is proof of that."
Sophomore Stipe Zunic (Zadar, Croatia) continued his undefeated streak this season with his first SEC title in the men's javelin, throwing just .02 shy of his personal best with a mark of 77.87m/255-6, using his final mark of the day to throw big. This is the sixth consecutive javelin title in 2012 for the sophomore thrower.
"I was feeling really pumped up today and I think I was maybe a little too energized," Zunic said. "When I got my PR a few weeks ago, (the throw) didn't have much power but it had a ton of flight. Today, my final throw had a ton of power and not a lot of flight. It made me realize that I have the power to throw 80 meters if I can get both power and flight. I think I'll be ready for NCAAs and see what I can do there."
The Gators swept the triple jump and high jump titles on the weekend. Freshman Ciarra Brewer (Union City, Calif.) took over as the nation's leading triple jumper with her winning mark of 13.58m/44-6.75, a personal best for the freshman and Brewer now moves to second all-time in the Gator record books. The Gators have now claimed four of the last five SEC outdoor titles in the women's triple jump, as Shara Proctor won three in a row from 2008-10.
Junior Omar Craddock (Killeen, Texas) won his first SEC triple jump title outdoors, using a winning mark of 16.68m/54-8.75 and becoming the third different Florida athlete over the last three years to win the SEC outdoor men's triple jump title. Christian Taylor won the event in 2010 and Will Claye was victorious in 2011. Craddock is the reigning SEC and NCAA champion indoors in the men's triple jump and looks to continue the streak in Des Moines.
"I'm really proud of the triple jump tradition at Florida," Craddock said. "I try to do my part to keep the legacy Christian and Will built alive and I'm so glad I've been able to have the success I've had this year. The work Coach O'Neal has been putting in with all of us has helped me improve and continue to work hard."
Freshman Marquis Dendy (Middleton, Del.) had a career day, jumping a personal best of 15.48m/50-9.50 to finish sixth overall and earn three points for the Gators. Dendy's leap just narrowly missed the all-time record books at Florida, coming in at No. 11.
"Brian O'Neal is doing a phenomenal job with our jumpers," Holloway said. "Ciarra is a freshman and she's now second all-time at Florida and the No. 1 triple jumper in the country right now. Omar is getting better and better as we go along. Marquis Dendy had a great meet this weekend and did really well. Coach O'Neal thinks he's close to getting a big PR. I just couldn't be prouder of our trio of triple jumpers."
The Gators completed the sweep in the high jump as well, as junior Dwight Barbiasz (Milford, N.H.) ended Ole Miss' Ricky Robertson's streak of SEC men's high jump championships at five. The transfer from the University of Maryland cleared a new personal best and won his first SEC title with a mark of 2.25m/7-4.50. Barbiasz is now tied for second all-time at Florida with former Gator All-American Matt Vincent (2001).
"Winning today means a lot because this is what I promised Coach Holloway when I came to Florida," Barbiasz said. "I was leaving the University of Maryland (whose program is being disbanded) and coming here and I think we had to trust each other. I trusted Coach Holloway and Coach Welty enough to leave what I knew behind because I wanted to compete for championships and they trusted me enough to deliver and today just proves that all of the hard work all of us have put in has paid off."
"We have one of the best high jumping coaches in the country in Coach Mellanee Welty," Holloway noted. "Her athletes won both high jump titles this weekend. Dwight had a PR in his win today and Taylor had a PR in her victory yesterday. It's just a testimony to their hard work and the things they've been doing. Taylor's been focusing on only high jump for the last month and Dwight is healthy for the first time all season. For him to have a PR in such a great field was really great for Dwight."
Junior Tony McQuay had a victorious afternoon on the track, taking home the men's 400 meters title and the first such title for the Gators since Calvin Smith in 2009. McQuay then anchored the men's 4×400-meter relay to their first SEC outdoor championship since 2010, finishing in 3:03.44. The Gators are one of only two 4×400-meter relay teams in the SEC with two freshmen on the track and Florida is the only team with two freshmen running the opening legs, as rookies Dedric Dukes (Miami, Fla.) and Hugh Graham, Jr. (Miami, Fla.) set the race up for juniors Leonardo Seymore (Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.) and McQuay.
"It felt so great to be able to contribute and win as a freshman," Dukes said. "I try to go out there, do what I can, start things off well and get us in good position and I just felt great out there. To have two freshmen on the opening legs, it shows the coaches really trust that we can come out and contribute to the team."
Dukes and Seymore also scored in the men's 200 meters, as Dukes ran an all-conditions best of 20.61 to finish fifth overall and Seymore finished eighth in 21.02 (21.020) to score a point for the Orange and Blue.
Sophomore Eddie Lovett (West Palm Beach, Fla.) came up just short in the men's 110-meter hurdles, claiming the runner-up spot with his time of 13.65. LSU's Barrett Nugent earned his second-consecutive SEC title in the event, just barely edging Lovett out in 13.40.
Fellow thrower Hunter Joyer (Wesley Chapel, Fla.) competed in his first SEC Championships on Sunday, earning a point in the men's shot put with his eighth-place mark of 15.69m/51-5.75, a personal best.
Florida's women also saw significant contributions from sophomore Darshay Davis (Mirimar, Fla.) and junior Ugonna Ndu (Newark, N.J.), who both scored in multiple events on Sunday.
Davis competed in both the 100 and 200 meters on Sunday, taking third in both events. In the 100 meters, Davis ran a new personal best of 11.30, claiming sole possession of fifth all-time in UF history. Just an hour later, Davis ran a wind-aided 23.05 to take home another six points for the Gators with her third-place finish.
Ndu had a busy afternoon for the Florida women, as she first competed in the 100-meter hurdles, finishing third in 13.37, a new personal best. Ndu then competed in the 400-meter hurdles, finishing in the three spot once again with her time of 59.31. Ndu finished her evening running the third leg of the women's 4×400-meter relay, as the quartet of Ebony Eutsey (Miami, Fla.), Lanie Whittaker (Miami, Fla.), Ndu and Amani Bryant (Tampa, Fla.) teamed up to finish fifth overall in 3:35.58 to earn four points for the Orange and Blue.
Eutsey and Whittaker had strong finishes for the Gator women in the 400 meters, as Eutsey finished third overall in 52.51 and Whittaker came in fifth in 52.92, combining for 10 points for the Gators. Bryant, who competed alongside Ndu in the women's 400-meter hurdles final, finished fourth in 1:00.51, earning five points for the Florida women.
McGee, who ran the women's 1,500 meters earlier in the afternoon, came up with a collegiate best in the women's 800 meters, finishing sixth in 2:05.39 to earn three additional points for the Gators.
Throwers Ashley Miller (Miami Beach, Fla.) and Kaitlin Davis (Jacksonville, Fla.) scored for the Florida women in the discus, as Miller finished fourth with her mark of 51.26m/168-2 and Davis came in seventh with a throw of 47.06m/154-5. The two combined for seven points for the Orange and Blue.
Next up for the Gators is the NCAA East Preliminary Round, hosted by the University of North Florida, May 24-26.

We all know May is one of the busiest months of the year, perhaps the busiest. I'm completely guilty of defaulting to sandwich mode when I look at my schedule and see how packed it can be with end-of-school-year chaos and spring social events, not to mention transition to summer schedules.
This May, though, I'm taking a different approach. Instead of standing in line at the deli waiting for yet another pound of turkey, or schlepping home with one more bag of Orange Chicken from Trader Joe's freezer, I'm serving up some salads that make dinner quick and leave leftovers for lunch the next day. Add a roasted chicken (cooked at home earlier and served cold, or purchased at your favorite market or take away place), a little fresh fruit and voila! A healthy, delicious dinner in less than 30 minutes.
One of my favorite resources for these types of meals is Martha Stewart's Great Food Fast. A foodie friend shared this cookbook with me a few years back, and come May, it's my go-to. Today's recipe is an adaptation of a broccoli salad I discovered here and make often – so often, in fact, that I'm S.I.C.K. of eating it and have begun substituting kale instead.
Kale is one of those super foods we often read about, but generally avoid based on having had it poorly prepared. Treated incorrectly, raw kale can be bitter, chewy and completely unpalatable. (I know this firsthand from an initial failed attempt: my children still lament what an evil, despotic parent I am, having forced them to choke down a serving of the stuff before I realized how awful it was. No wonder my youngest started rehearsing her hairball gag/cough routine when she discovered me prepping a bowl full for this post!)
Prepared correctly, though, these curly, cruciferous greens offer a welcome change to the standard lettuces that live in my fridge. The secret, as with most foods that can be tough or bitter, is tenderizing. I don't remember where I discovered the tip, but massaging the kale leaves as part of the prep makes all the difference. Sounds crazy, yes, but it works. Try it, and you'll see!
- ¾ – 1 pound kale
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 1 15 oz. can chickpeas
- 1 small Vidalia or other sweet onion
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons best quality olive oil, plus extra for prepping kale
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- sea salt and fresh ground pepper
- Wash and dry kale and tomatoes. Drain and rinse chickpeas.
- Remove stems (which are bitter) from kale and chop or tear leaves into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Place kale in salad bowl and drizzle with a teaspoon or so of olive oil.
- Tenderize the kale for a minute or two with your hands, tossing and squeezing the leaves until they soften slightly and turn a deeper green.
- Chop ⅓ to ½ of the onion, medium dice, and add to kale. (Use more or less. Your preference.)
- Halve tomatoes and add to kale, along with chickpeas.
- Whisk mustard, oil and vinegar and pour over salad. Toss well and season to taste with salt and fresh ground pepper.
Bonus: where mixed baby greens wilt to slime after sitting in dressing, kale just gets better. This salad – or the original version with broccoli – is good day 2, another reason to add to your weekly menu this time of year.
Bon appétit!

McGuire signs, capping busy weeks for high schooler
In the past few weeks, Reese McGuire finished his final season of high school baseball, went to prom, was drafted 14th overall in the First-Year Player Draft and inked a professional contract.
For an 18-year-old, it's a lot to handle in such a short time. But the thing that concerned McGuire the most?View Full Game Coverage
In the past few weeks, Reese McGuire finished his final season of high school baseball, went to prom, was drafted 14th overall in the First-Year Player Draft and inked a professional contract.
For an 18-year-old, it's a lot to handle in such a short time. But the thing that concerned McGuire the most?View Full Game Coverage
"I was a little worried about the urine test, because in the past, I've had a little stage fright, or it took me a while," McGuire said at an introductory press conference Tuesday at PNC Park, drawing laughter from the room. "So I was most worried about how long it was going to take for me to go to the bathroom. But I was actually asking for the cup [this time] because I really had to go."
The Pirates announced they signed McGuire, one of their two first-round selections in the Draft who was previously committed to play at the University of San Diego. The Kentwood (Wash.) High School catcher signed for $2.369 million, about $200,000 below the slot value for the 14th pick. The club has signed 16 Draft picks so far, but is still negotiating with Austin Meadows, the ninth overall selection.
McGuire will start his professional career with the Gulf Coast League Pirates, standard placement for high school signees. Pirates general manager Neal Huntington said if McGuire shows enough improvement in the coming months, he could see some time with short-season Class A Jamestown.
McGuire was MLB.com's 10th-ranked Draft prospect and fifth-ranked high-school prospect. He also is a 2012-13 Gatorade Washington Player of the Year winner, and received the 2012 USA Baseball Dick Chase Award for his role in Team USA's 18-and-under gold-medal run at the IBAF 18U World Championship in Seoul, South Korea, last September.
The 6-foot-1 left-handed hitter batted .436 with 13 doubles, three triples, four home runs and 20 RBIs as a senior. He has been lauded for his defensive skills, which include athleticism, quick hands and a good pop time -- the seconds from the ball hitting a catcher's glove to his throw reaching second base. McGuire said his mark is usually between 1.82 and 1.85 seconds.
"He did things behind the plate I had never seen before, and we got to the point where there wasn't much coaching. He coached himself," said Scott McGuire, Reese's father.
McGuire played all over the diamond growing up. When he and his older brother, Cash, were in Little League, they would switch off as pitcher and catcher. But Cash, who just finished his freshman season as an infielder for Seattle University, started developing into a pitcher at age 11, so Reese was happy to stay behind the plate.
"I grew a passion and love for the position," McGuire said. "I wanted to be in the play every pitch."
McGuire has been calling his own games for several years, something many college catchers don't even do. That experience, coupled with growing up in a baseball-oriented family, has given McGuire an advanced knowledge of the game.
Scott recalled his son was the first of his Little League teammates to steal signs from the opposing team.
But there's much more to McGuire's game than just strong defense and baseball IQ. Huntington said McGuire has the chance to develop into a legitimate power hitter with a few years of growth and maturity.
"Most of the time, a criticism of a guy when he doesn't hit is because he hurts people's fantasy league team," Huntington said. "But in Reese's case, he's got the ability to help a fantasy league team and a real Major League team, because he can do a lot of things on the baseball field."
McGuire, despite his intelligence and baseball background, is still an 18-year-old who will be playing against players older and more physically mature in the coming years. But his mother, Robin, said her son still isn't totally a "man" and has room to get bigger, faster and stronger.
With all the emotions and experiences of the past few weeks, McGuire said he doesn't feel any different than he did a few months ago, despite now being a contracted professional athlete. The idea of being a first-round pick and potentially a Major League backstop still hasn't totally hit him.
"Once I get away, it's going to sink in," McGuire said.
While Scott and Robin are back in Washington, they won't get a chance to see their son mature and play everyday like they've grown accustomed to. But today's technology makes it much easier to connect with him and track his progress on the field, Robin said.
"You may not be there in the room with him, but you can see him, talk to him, that kind of thing," she said. "So it makes it a little bit easier."

Today my mood matches the dreary gray skies that have taken over California for the past few days. Last night my brother told me that my dog that I've had from 5th grade on, Cody, has cancer and has to be put to sleep. I'm very sad because he was a part of our family for so long. I also am sad becuase I think it's one of the things I realized it would be really hard to say good bye too because he loved my Mom so much. He was her dog and they had a very special relationship. I knew this day would come but I also didn't think that it would be so hard. I know all dogs go to Heaven though and I'm glad he won't have to suffer while having cancer. I'll miss you little buddy.
Trying to take a Christmas card picture with two dogs? Now that's a challenge. He is a Shetland sheepdog and we got him at the pound when he was only one. He lived a good life and I'm glad he was a part of my life.
Hopefully next week the skies will clear and the sun will come back.

About the Mississippi Gulf Coast
Diverse people and opportunities
The Mississippi Gulf Coast is a rare mix of cultural influences derived from early French and Spanish explorers, Native Americans and modern-day military bases that draw airmen and sailors from all over the United States.
With the sparkling waters of the Gulf of Mexico, 26 miles of scenic coastal beaches, 22 golf courses and 11 casinos, visitors and residents alike enjoy everything from adventure-filled days to a slow, relaxing pace.
Each city nestled along the shoreline is a unique community with a personality of its own. From quiet fishing villages to the roar of rocket engines being tested at the Stennis Space Center, the Mississippi Gulf Coast embraces the diversity of its inhabitants in a "live and let live" philosophy that brings many visitors back for the remainder of their lives.
Higher education close to home
Because of the diverse population of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, The University of Southern Mississippi has always sought to bring higher education to the people of the Coast where it suits them best. True university degrees are in reach for all of the Mississippi Gulf Coast:
- Coastal Sciences are taught at the Gulf Coast Research Lab on the beachfront in Ocean Springs.
- The university's five colleges are represented at the beautiful and historic Gulf Park Campus in Long Beach.
- Marine Sciences are taught at the home of the world's largest population of oceanographers, the John C. Stennis Space Center in Hancock County
Resiliency and response
Having weathered the worst storms that nature has unleashed on the United States with Hurricane Camille in 1969 and Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the inhabitants of the Mississippi Gulf Coast are a rare breed of resilient and welcoming people.
These qualities have again been on display during the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, and The University of Southern Mississippi is again playing a major part. For more information, please visit the oil spill research page.

T-Mobile is often the forgotten option of the major wireless carriers. That might not be the case anymore if rumors out of Deutsche Telekom are true. Word from the German communications company today, as reported by Bloomberg, is it's in talks to purchase MetroPCS and merge it with its T-Mobile network.
The reason behind Deutsche Telekom's potential actions is simple: adding MetroPCS expands T-Mobile's coverage to a scale that will be more competitive with mobile giants AT&T and Verizon. The proposed deal would give Deutsche Telekom the majority stake in the newly formed company. This is a particularly interesting move after its failed attempts to sell T-Mobile in its entirety to AT&T just over a year ago.
T-Mobile currently has a userbase of 33.2 million customers as of the end of June, putting it at less than 1/3 of AT&T and Verizon's sizable subscriber chunks. MetroPCS is the fifth largest mobile provider (T-Mobile is fourth) in the United States with 9.5 million subscribers. While the merged company would still trail Sprint's customer base, it's the additional service area that is coveted. MetroPCS reaches 90 percent of the U.S. population and has a presence in 19 major markets, no small feat for a non-national provider. Of course, the subscriber addition wouldn't hurt as T-Mobile has been hemorrhaging customers since the second quarter, likely in part due to its inability to secure a deal with Apple to sell the iPhone.
The news has been plenty good to MetroPCS shareholders, who saw their stocks shoot up by 17 percent, reaching as high as $14.51 in afternoon trading. Deutsche Telekom also got a little boost in the European market with shares rising 2 percent after merger talks were announced. It seems like the companies couldn't be a better match, as both aim to provide affordable, alternative coverage with a worthwhile network. While all sides appear optimistic, the deal is anything but done. MetroPCS has been a merger target in the past for Leap Wireless and Sprint, but a deal has never gone through.
Article originally published 10/2/2012
Update 10/3/2012 by Jeffrey VC: The MetroPCS board of directors has approved the merger with T-Mobile USA, according to Reuters. A T-Mobile USA press release indicates that MetroPCS will get $1.5 billion in cash and the new company will be listed on the stock exchange.
"We are extremely pleased to announce this transaction with MetroPCS, which enhances Deutsche Telekom's position in the expanding U.S. wireless market," said René Obermann, Chief Executive Officer of Deutsche Telekom. "The T-Mobile and MetroPCS brands are a great strategic fit – both operationally and culturally. The new company will be the value leader in wireless with the scale, spectrum and financial and other resources to expand its geographic coverage, broaden choice among all types of customers and continue to innovate, especially around the next-generation LTE network. We are committed to creating a sustainable and financially viable national challenger in the U.S., and we believe this combination helps us deliver on that commitment."
We'll have a deeper analysis of this merger and its implications later today.

When Cary Godette left Havelock High School to play football at East Carolina, he wondered about his future, especially after his first practice.
When Cary Godette left Havelock High School to play football at East Carolina, he wondered about his future, especially after his first practice.
"I never encountered anything as hard in my life," Godette said in speaking at the Havelock High Senior Athletic Awards Banquet last week.
During a particularly rough stretch, he did what any other college student would do. He called home.
"I called back to my parents in Havelock, and I said, �mom, I don�t think I want to do this anymore.� And she said, �what�s your plan?� I said I�d like to come home, and she said, �son, you ain�t coming here.�
"It kind of threw me back a little bit because I didn�t have any answer to that one. Only thing left I could do was trudge back up to my room and suck it up."
Godette went on to become an All-American lineman at East Carolina and has had a long career coaching in college and the NFL. He is currently the director of football administration at ECU.
Godette said that call home taught him a valuable lesson about parenting.
"You as parents can�t solve all the problems for these young people," he said. "Sometimes, they�ve got to fail and learn so they can pick themselves up, bounce back and go.
"It goes back to competing. When I�ve gotten knocked down or run into obstacles, been fired from coaching, had some tough losses, you pick yourself up and fight through the tough times."
Godette spoke for about 20 minutes during the banquet, which recognized the school�s senior athletes with plaques and special awards.
Godette was a part of Havelock High School�s 1971 undefeated eastern state championship team. The winning team in the annual Tucker Creek-Havelock Middle football game is awarded the Cary Godette trophy in his honor.
He said athletics teaches valuable lessons that continue throughout a person�s life, the biggest of which involves commitment, attitude and heart.
"When you line up, it�s all about your training, what you put into it, the sacrifices you have made," he said. "That is what is going to get you through it."
He said a positive attitude is crucial for success on and off the field.
"If you don�t have the right attitude, it�s going to be very hard to have success," he said.
To illustrate the point, Godette told the story of drafting wide receiver Anquan Boldin when he was a coach with the Arizona Cardinals. Godette said Boldin wasn�t the team�s top choice, but in the end, that didn�t matter.
"Anquan Boldin ends up being a Pro Bowl player his rookie year, going over 1,000 yards in receptions, and it was all about heart, his effort and the way he approached things," Godette said. "No one could measure Anquan Boldin�s heart. He didn�t care that he wasn�t supposed to be fast enough. He would just line up and compete, and that�s one of the things athletics instills in us."
He said though athletes are special, they should remain humble.
"East Carolina has 28,000 students, and we have 125 on our football team," he said. "At Havelock High, you�ve got a whole lot more students than you do those who participate in athletics. It makes you very, very special, but it doesn�t entitle you to anything. If you look at it as an entitlement thing, there tends to be problems."
He said Havelock High athletes have been showing commitment, heart and attitude on the field, and he congratulated the players and coaches on their successes.
"You make us very proud the way you carry yourselves," he said. "Enjoy what you have accomplished."
During the banquet, Pharoh Cooper, who excelled in football, basketball and baseball, was named the school�s Male Athlete of the Year, while Abby Clark, an all-state swimmer and leader on the softball team, was named Female Athlete of the Year.
The Joe Hailey Sports Award went to basketball player and cross country runner Zack Bruns, while the Hoyt Hayes Memorial Scholarship went to cheerleader and softball player Malorie Rowe.
Mercedes Hargett was named the Andy Maness Manager of the Year for her work with sports medicine.

Sarkozy courts Indian business, G-20 support3 min read . Updated: 06 Dec 2010, 03:49 PM IST
Sarkozy courts Indian business, G-20 support
Sarkozy courts Indian business, G-20 support
New Delhi: France's President Nicolas Sarkozy said on Monday he had clinched deals worth about $20 billion with India, becoming the latest among a string of world leaders jostling for a share of Asia's third biggest economy.
The business deals, which spanned atomic energy, defence and civil aviation, comfortably bettered the $10 billion US President Barack Obama secured on his November visit. They come a day before Sarkozy is due to end his four-day visit.
Chinese premier Wen Jiabao and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev are also due to visit India this month, a sign of how major powers are vying for the world's biggest new defence and power markets, long closed to outside investors.
India is trying to boost its power generation capability and defence, wary it is falling behind China.
Sarkozy also called for a joint proposal with India to push his ambitious reform agenda for the G-20 group of developed and emerging nations, including changes to the global monetary system and commodity prices.
"France considers that no big-item problem in the world can be solved without India participating at the highest level. India is a major economy, we came to visit India as a partner," Sarkozy told a joint press conference with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
India, a member of the Bric group of rapidly developing countries, is forecast to see economic growth of almost 9 percent this year, with the economy accelerating further in following years, levels rivalled only by China.
Investors are also keen to tap into a country with a young and fast-urbanising population of 1.2 billion.
But like every foreign investors, the French must negotiate a series of regulatory problems and Indian politics. The government is currently mired in a string of corruption scandals that have tarnished India's image as an investment destination
France and India signed a framework contract for the sale of at least two French atomic reactors by French nuclear group Areva, estimated at around €7 billion ($9.3 billion). Work on the reactors will start next year.
France is competing with US and Russian firms for a slice of India's civilian nuclear energy market, worth an estimated $150 billion, after New Delhi signed a series of civilian nuclear deals that ended its status as a nuclear pariah.
France took over the chair of the G-20 group of developed and emerging nations a month ago amid the eurozone debt crisis and rows over global trade imbalances and currency valuations.
"France also wants joint proposals with its Indian friends within the framework of the G-20 on the regulation of commodity prices," Sarkozy said.
"On also international monetary systems, on the matter of financial mechanisms whereby we can help the poorest countries develop and also on reforming world governance," he added.
European group Airbus has signed lease contracts to supply A330 aircraft to India's Jet Airways and Air India in separate deals totalling €2.8 billion. French tyre maker Michelin will invest €600 million in a factory in southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
India and France are also close to signing deals for a 2 billion euro joint missile development and refitting the Asian's giant's Mirage fighter jets at a cost of 1.5 billion euros, a French government statement said on Monday.
Thales will upgrade the Mirage fighter jets and European missile maker MBDA will develop the surface-to-air missiles, the statement added.
India is spending $50 billion in the next five years in defence deals, and is looking at new partners to replace Russia, its Cold War ally.
Sarkozy's visit comes before a summit between India and the European Union where New Delhi's position on global financial reforms is likely to be high on the agenda.
As US President Barack Obama did in November, Sarkozy has pleased his audience with a pledge to support a long-standing Indian demand for a permanent seat at the UN Security Council alongside France, Russia, China, Britain and the United States.
Indian officials have also given France "reasons to be confident" the two sides would reach consensus on India's nuclear liability laws, a French source said earlier, which have in the past made foreign firms, especially in the United States, wary of entering the Indian market.
Areva CEO Anne Lauvergeon, who accompanied Sarkozy, said she expected the French reactors to start producing power by 2018 and, while she did not see liability as an obstacle, said "a number of points need to be clarified.
Sarkozy, who arrived in India on Saturday, is heading a 50-member French delegation of senior business leaders and cabinet officials, including Finance Minister Christine Lagarde.

It would be very hard to beat that price on an internal > infrastructure if one was honest about the fully loaded facility, energy > and staffing costs. [slight segue into the cloud side] Caveat emptor ... the analysis is in favor of ephermal machines and clusters if (expected/actual) utilization of resources is low. In which case the capital costs, and TCO are more expensive than the public cloud (average pricing). Not tremendously so, but noticeably. The spot pricing moves the cross over point, but its still not a game changer such that remote is always "cheaper". This said, there are other, very good reasons, why public cloud is not appropriate for everyone. Most of the customers we've been working with have tried it for their work and found it lacking one aspect or another. Granted they are highly specialized, with specific needs that a paravirtualized infrastructure makes little sense for (hypervirtualized makes a great deal more sense for them, but bare metal/silicon is optimal in performance, and their needs are driven more by that than other factors). On the costing side, there is no grand conspiracy. There are costs to acquire and run machines, but in many cases, thanks to serious devops work, sanely scoped, extremely dense, very performant, and well engineered systems, these costs are dropping rapidly (as are the revenues in this market, which is part of why the tier1 vendors are showing the quarterly results they are). The cost per processor core (and eventually per processor cycle) are rapidly approaching asymptotes, where the overall cost is not the major factor in decision making. To wit, look that the OPC designs from Facebook. This effort is all about completely commoditizing their hardware buys. Google has been doing something similar for a while. The real questions are: to get a value of X, what investment Y is required, and what are the constraints Z that we must work with. For a large segment of the corporate world where we play, clouds are fine, as long as they are private, completely securely controlled, and engineered to handle the workloads they need. Queuing up in line with 10000 of your closest friends and neighbors for a chance to bid on infrastructure that you need at a particular time, and you have to move a huge bolus of data over (think fractions to multiple PB) is simply not going to fly until we get 10GbE to demark as a common scenario. Even then, data motion is the killer in many cases, and system/network/storage latency and low level performance are at least complicit in the murder of the external cloud concept for these folks. This said, I do encourage folks to try out AWS, Joyent, and many others for cloudy bits, and see if the constraints can be worked around. Our friends at Sabalcore and Penguin are doing cool things with clusters on demand. And fundamentally, if you have a part time need for a cluster, the cluster rental or cloudy versions are likely to be a better deal for you, if the constraints will work. [cliche' warning] As I try to tell folks, your mileage may vary, there are no silver bullets, and if all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Public(private) clouds and infrastructure are not a panacea, and there are cases where the other makes more sense. Any realistic view of the data around this (cost, utilization, need, etc.) and a correct assessment of the principle decision issues (performance/latency vs TCO vs data transport vs availability vs ...) is highly recommended. [back to clustering VPS] Honestly this never made a great deal of sense to me. Rather than clustering VPSes, why not cluster bare metal JEOS kvm hypervisor built machines? Not quite VMware stuff. We are using lots of kvm (obscene amounts of it) in our projects across several OSes. Linux, Illumos/SmartOS. We've been tweaking tiburon to handle such kvm boots, so that turning on a very large cluster of virtual machines and having them ready would take seconds to minutes at worst. Not half hours to several hours for provisioning. VPS doesn't quite have the isolation of kvm, which is part of why I'd like to see that. But kvm doesn't have great PCIe pass through (yet, its getting better). VPS might be able to make better use of the resource. -- Joseph Landman, Ph.D Founder and CEO Scalable Informatics, Inc. email: landman at scalableinformatics.com web : http://scalableinformatics.com http://scalableinformatics.com/siflash phone: +1 734 786 8423 x121 fax : +1 866 888 3112 cell : +1 734 612 4615

This is an exciting time in the history of Griggs University/Griggs International Academy!
For more than a century, Griggs (formerly known as Home Study International) has provided distance education for the Seventh-day Adventist Church. During this time, we have undergone many changes—curriculum, delivery systems and even name changes—but our mission has always remained the same. As we look to the future, we remain committed to quality Christian education that meets the needs of our global student body. To meet these needs most effectively, the ownership of Griggs will be transferred to Andrews University, the flagship institution of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. This transfer in ownership becomes effective November 1, 2010.
While ownership of Griggs will transfer to Andrews University, the physical relocation of Griggs University from Maryland to Michigan will not take place until sometime in 2011. A great deal of planning and reorganizing must take place before this move can occur. Andrews and Griggs remain committed to our educational partners, to maintaining and strengthening existing contracts, and to the students enrolled in Griggs courses around the world. During this transition, the terms of all contracts will be honored, and Griggs accreditations and approvals will remain in effect. We are confident this partnership will enhance our educational offerings, enabling us to improve our courses, our teaching methods and the tools we use to deliver instruction.
Since 1874, Andrews University has held serious scholarship, quality research and a strong focus on practical Christianity in high regard. It is one of the largest Seventh-day Adventist schools in a worldwide network of elementary, secondary and higher education institutions operated by the Adventist Church. Currently, at its main campus in Berrien Springs, Michigan, Andrews is educating nearly 3,500 students representing almost 100 nations around the world. In addition, 4,500 students are pursuing Andrews University degrees through its overseas affiliate and extension programs.
In this rapidly changing world, the partnership between Andrews University and Griggs will allow us not only to expand our offerings but to place our future plans on firmer ground as we continue to meet our students' educational needs.
Effective October 31, 2010, Dr. Donald R. Sahly, current president of Griggs, will be retiring. At that time, Dr. Alayne Thorpe, who currently serves as vice president for education at Griggs, will become interim president. She will work closely with Andrews University and the university provost, Dr. Andrea Luxton, as we continue to build for and anticipate the educational future of Griggs.
Throughout this time of transition, we remain focused on strengthening our work and continuing to grow as we work more closely with our colleagues at Andrews University.
Niels-Erik Andreasen
President, Andrews University
