The IOC is very active in the field of advocacy for gender issues. As an international organisation with worldwide recognition, it uses national, regional and international platforms and events to advocate increasing possibilities for girls and women in sport.
The members of the IOC Women and Sport Commission are particularly active in raising awareness about gender equality in their respective domains of sports expertise throughout the year. Among other important advocacy initiatives are the yearly IOC Women and Sport Awards and the IOC World Conferences on Women and Sport.
Since 1996, the IOC's advocacy action has been supported by the organisation of quadrennial World Conferences on Women and Sport. The purpose of these Conferences is to assess the progress made in this area within the Olympic Movement and to define future priority actions to improve and increase the involvement of girls and women in this framework. The latest edition was held in Los Angeles, USA, from 16 to 18 February 2012 and was held under the theme "Together Stronger: The Future of Sport" and attracted more than 700 participants from 121 countries. The theme reflected the need for women and men to work together to break down barriers and overcome obstacles to further progress. Gender equality in sport will only be achieved through collaboration and partnerships across all relevant stakeholders.
The participants agreed upon the "L.A. Declaration" which will guide the work of the IOC and the Olympic Movement in this important field throughout the next four years until the next World Conference in 2016.

The IOC Women and Sport Awards were first introduced in 2000. Every year, six trophies (one per continent, and one at world level) are awarded to a woman or man (former athlete, coach, administrator or journalist) or to an organisation that has worked to develop, encourage and strengthen the participation of women and girls in physical and sports activities, in coaching or in administrative and decision-making structures, and promote female journalists and women's sport in the media.
The IOC invites each National Olympic Committee (NOC), International Federation (IF) or Continental Association to propose one candidate for the 2015 IOC Women and Sports Award by 20 February 2015. The nominations will be studied by an IOC jury composed of members of the Women and Sport Commission.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has publically committed itself to increasing the number of women occupying leadership positions within the Olympic Movement including the IOC itself. Despite some success this is still "work in progress", and the goal of at least one-fifth of all decision-making positions being held by women has not been reached.
The 4th World Conference on Women and Sport (in 2008) called for a report to see what was slowing the progress and how key obstacles could be overcome. The second research document produced by the Loughbrough University (below), outlines:
Read here the full report "Gender Equality and leadership in Olympic Bodies"
In 1981, at the impetus of President Samaranch, two women were elected to the IOC. At present, there are 24 women out of 107 active members; and four women are members of the 15-person-strong IOC Executive Board. Similarly, IOC commissions and working groups are including more women than before, enabling them to give their direct contribution to all issues and policies on which the IOC is working.
For the first time in the history of the Olympic Movement, a woman, Anita DeFrantz, became IOC Vice-President in 1997. Gunilla Lindberg was subsequently elected to the same position for the period 2004-2008.
Olympic champion Nawal El Moutawakel from Morocco was elected as a member of the IOC Executive Board (EB) in 2008 and as IOC Vice-President in July 2012. She was the first woman ever to chair an IOC Evaluation Commission. After having done so successfully in the framework of the 2012 Olympic Games candidature procedure, she took on the same role for the 2016 Olympic Games and later became Chairperson of the Coordination Commission for the Games in Rio de Janeiro.
Gunilla Lindberg chaired the Evaluation Commission for the 2018 Olympic Winter Games, which were awarded to PyeongChang on 6 July 2011 at the Session in Durban, South Africa, and since then, chairs the Coordination Commission for the Olympic Winter Games in PyeongChang. She is also currently a member of the IOC Executive Board.
Four-time Olympic medallist and three-time world champion, Angela Ruggiero, was appointed to chair the IOC Coordination Commission for the 2016 Winter Youth Olympic Games in Lillehammer, and was recently elected as Vice Chair of the IOC's Athletes' Commission.
Claudia Bokel, Olympic silver medallist in fencing at the Olympic Games in 2004, was elected Chair of the IOC Athletes' Commission in 2012. She also is a member of the IOC Executive Board.

cooper square, new york city
Paul Warchol
The luminous kitchen was designed as a "machine for living" that links the family room on one side with the living and dining areas on the other.
The architects anchored the loft spatially with two wood and glass cores that house the baths and a home office.

The judges praised the way the architects of this loft residence preserved parts of the raw structure while beautifully detailing the modern insertion. With 5,000 square feet to carve up, the critical concepts here were drawing light deep into the apartment and organizing spatially for both openness and intimacy. Katherine Chia, AIA, finessed the lighting challenge with an innovative skin of glass and offset wood slats on the bathrooms and study that allow the light to bounce through, lantern-like, while providing acoustical and visual privacy. The kitchen is surfaced with anodized aluminum and glass and capped by a lit glass soffit that expresses the ductwork. "The kitchen and baths themselves are worthy of awards," one judge observed.
The western edge of the space, abutting a long row of windows, contains a more intimate dining area and reading nook. Chia designed a slightly pitched ceiling plane, almost like the underside of an airplane wing, with spun-aluminum domes that emit a continuous ring of light. "The notion was to create a more ethereal kind of light instead of having it spotting down on you," Chia says. Bedrooms contain modular snap-in components and are subdivided by storage units that can be opened or closed, like old steamer trunks.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Is there any information on the use of CyberKnife to treat bone metastases in the chest area [that are] associated with recurrent NSCLC?
Carolyn Vachani RN, MSN, AOCN, OncoLink's Nurse Educator, responds:
There have been quite a few studies using CyberKnife for spinal metastases (vertebral bones), mostly because this system is very helpful in sparing the spinal cord from unwanted irradiation. In some cases, it may also allow for re-treatment with re-irradiation of the same area, which is generally not done due to spinal cord tolerance constraints.
However, there is nothing in the published medical literature specifically on bone metastases in the chest area being treated with CyberKnife, likely because this body site can be effectively treated by conventional radiation therapy methods.
Mar 6, 2015 - Treatment of bone metastases in prostate cancer patients with denosumab, which blocks bone resorption, reduces bone turnover compared with bisphosphonates, according to a study in the August issue of the Journal of Urology.

According to historian W. Paul Gamble, "Westminster College was the first integrated and unrestricted coeducational college in the nation."
Westminster College will celebrate its rich heritage with a "Women of Westminster" seminar on Saturday, April 13 in Russell Hall.
"What were the women of New Wilmington doing during World War II?"
What were the women of New Wilmington doing during World War II? Since no written account could be found, an investigation of the memories of the women still living in New Wilmington was necessary. Surely there were women missed during the three-month interview process, but most that were interviewed told one of three stories: the life of the married woman, the life of the single woman, and the life of the teenager.
The Life of the Married New Wilmington Woman
Esther Ellis was in her 30s during the war. Married in 1935, she and her husband already had two children when her husband, then business manager at Westminster College, enlisted in 1944."After basic training was finished, Ross went to Harvard for a continued three-month training. I drove my car, a Ford with bad tires, to Massachusetts so that my children and I could be with him. I couldn't get new tires because they were rationed, but I was able to get retreads while I was there."
While in New England for three months, Esther and her children lived in Brookline in the same house with another family from Indiana.
"I took the children to every historical site I could find in Massachusetts. Mostly, we traveled on street cars."
In December, Mr. Ellis went to Philadelphia to wait for his ship to dock, and the family saw him every other weekend until February, when he left to travel overseas. Alone with her children in the same house she now lives in, Esther had to deal with ration cards for scarce items such as meat, butter, and sugar.
"I spent most of my days with my children and making menus with the food available. Once I went to a lecture at Westminster College to hear a dietitian talk about dinner without meat or using the unpopular parts like the heart and liver. I never did fool my family with liver meatloaf! Meat was very scarce because most of it went to feed the army. Once I bought a piece of round steak that was so tough, I thought it might have been an old dairy cow. Most of the farming around here was dairy farming, not beef cattle."
Esther remembered sharing ration cards with other members of her family.
"If I needed more of something or someone else needed what I had, we would trade. You would save gas by going shopping with others. There was an A&P this side of Youngstown that I went to once with only $2. I bought a roast, five pounds of ground meat and two lamb chops."
Esther considers herself lucky because she had money. Her husband sent all his money home. "He didn't need any on the ship."
"We saved certain metals, learned how to knit, and donated the things we didn't wear anymore to 'Bundles for Britain.' We also took turns watching for airplanes from the Westminster Old Main tower. Watch was kept around the clock with two people at a time up there around an oil stove to keep warm. Later the plane site was moved to the hill where the high school is now.
"Mostly I did what people are going to have to do now...I just went on with my life as best as I could."
Harriet Jackson Sarver was married in the fall of 1941 and was living with her husband, Bud, in New Wilmington when the war started.
"We bought bikes right after we were married that had baskets on them for groceries. As I remember, there were several grocery stores in New Wilmington then. An A&P was located where the Golden Dawn is now, and Gilliland's was a market back then, too. Where the bank is now, there used to be a six-story building with a grocery store inside and apartments above it, and a grocery store where the post office is now because the post office was located near the Short Stop.
"Rationing...all of us had to deal with it. Meat, gas, sugar, shortening were all rationed. We had ration books and slips of paper were ripped out of them as we used up our items, but sometimes you got a little hard cardboard token back as change. We learned to live with pies that only had one crust to save shortening. The gas was limited by the number of people in your family and the distance you had to go to work. We all had to conserve, so we walked everywhere we could to save enough gas coupons to see my family every now and then. They lived 50 miles away."
Before her husband left for the service, he worked in the Sharon area, and purchased war bonds with money taken out of his pay.
"We had drives where we stood inside banks, and encouraged people to buy bonds.
"My husband had three deferments, but finally he left in March of 1943 until October 1945. While Bud was in training, I lived in a crude apartment in Louisiana for $25 per month, but then I came back to New Wilmington to live in a third-floor apartment on North Market Street. I was delighted to live there because I already knew folks here from when I went to Westminster."
Sarver's married life took a path that was not unusual for married women during the war.
"My husband's unit was told it wasn't going overseas, so we felt it was safe to start a family, but he was sent. Our boy was born in April, and he didn't get to see him until the fall when his son was already five months old. After Bud left, my biggest concern was would I get mail that day.
"Wives that lived here and had kids got together for lunch sometimes. We took turns being a sitter for each others children, especially during church since we didn't have a nursery back then."
Sarver was involved in the American Association of University Women (AAUW), an organization deeply involved in the war effort.
"We mended socks, sewed on buttons, and baked cookies for the men stationed at the American Service Training Program here in New Wilmington.
"Dr. Black, who headed the Mathematics Department at Westminster College, got me into another program called the ASTP program. The Army and Navy sent hundreds of servicemen to Westminster to learn math and physics for plotting and graphing and geometry for aviation. They had barracks behind what is now the Student Union Building on campus where Orr and Beeghly are now. I taught them math.
"No one complained because all the women were in the same situation. We had to go on with ordinary life. Many women had to learn finances because most husbands did that sort of thing back then, and some even had to learn to do outdoor yard work that they weren't accustomed to doing. We accepted what was going on, and just went on with life the best we could."
The Life of the Teenage New Wilmington Woman
Kathryn and Marjory Semple are twins and grew up in the same house they now live in on North Market Street, and Jean Swindler Hosie, who also lived on Market Street, was and still is their best friend."My family raised chickens, and they were on demand due to the rationing of meat," said Hosie. "You needed ration stamps to buy things like shoes or stockings."
"I remember butter was also rationed," said Kathryn Semple. "You got white oleo, and it was our job to mix it with the yellow coloring packet that came with it. It was a messy job."
"We all contributed to the scrap metal drive, too," said Hosie. "We'd collect old cans and take them uptown to a pick up point near the school."
"My father built most of Camp Reynolds," said Hosie. "They had dances there, but we were too young to go. My dad taught physics at Westminster, but there was not much need for physics during the war. He took a Navy program at UCLA for a year, so others in the department didn't lose their jobs."
"My dad was in the coal business," said Marjory Semple. "The train unloaded it into the bins at the station and my father took his truck, loaded it, and took it to customers. He had an 'A' on his gas ration book because his type of business got more gas."
"The trains also brought the service men," said Hosie. "Solders, sometimes 300 at a time, would get off the train and march up Neshannock Avenue. It was quite a spectacle."
The women had fond memories of school during the war. All three remembered buying stamps for 25 cents each until they got enough to buy a $25 bond for $18.75.
"You could buy as many stamps as you could afford," said Kathryn Semple. "The bonds matured in 10 years."
"Teachers had current events in class," said Hosie. "I remember that the principal of the school, Walt Whitman, though he'd lost his son at sea. I heard his son, Donald, spent five days in the water, but he was a good swimmer and survived."
"We walked from school to the community house for gym class," said Marjory Semple. "I remember one male gym teacher, Russell Byler, but then all gym teachers were men back then. He taught us to march to the community house, using cadence with military commands."
Besides school, the women found that they had many activities to keep them busy after school and during the summer months.
"There used to be a Wilmington Theater, and many Saturdays we went to see old westerns, like Gene Autrey or movies like Mrs. Minnevre," said Hosie. "I had to work to get the money to go. I did housework, baby sat, and walked dogs."
"I remember cleaning offices," said Kathryn Semple. "I think it was Paxton and C.W. McKee located on the second floor of the lumber company."
"A lot of New Wilmington kids went to the Missionary Conference during the summer," said Hosie. "Before the amphitheater there was a big tent."
"The Kiwanis always sponsored a Halloween party, even during the war," continued Hosie. "I don't recall the war making Christmas any different than usual except the family had to save gas coupons to get everyone together."
"I remember spending time playing games like Parcheesi, Monopoly, Old Maid, and Authors," said Marjory Semple. "I also remember the nickel ice cream cones and Isaly's Klondikes. If you were lucky, you got one with a pink center, and you'd have to hurry back to the store before it melted to get a free one."
"In the summer the swimming pool was and still is free to locals," said Hosie. "I'd hurry to get my chores done and then run to the pool every chance I got."
"I remember getting sleigh rides in the winter from Lawrence Garrett,or in the fall sometimes he'd give hay rides," said Kathryn Semple. "We all belonged to Girl Scouts and 4-H, and a lot of church activities, too. We kept busy during the war and nothing much stopped for us."
"When I graduated from high school, my boyfriend Matt, who I married later, received one of the last draft notices for the war," said Hosie. "It was cancelled a couple of days later."
As the interviews ended with these special women, one fact became evident. No matter what the marriage status or age, everyone agreed that they did not let the war change their lives.
Mrs. Ellis, who was interviewed shortly after the September 11 terrorist attack, summarized the feelings in one sentence.
"Mostly I did what people are going to have to do now...I just went on with my life the best that I could."
The Life of the Single New Wilmington Woman
Mary Beth McLaughry, a student at Westminster College, was sitting at a football game when she first heard about the German bombing of Britain."I remember thinking, how can we just sit here while this is going on?"
She was a senior at Westminster when Pearl Harbor hit.
"I heard about it on the way home from a choir performance in New Castle. There was a special chapel service for the men who were joining up and leaving right away. From then on, the war dominated our thinking. In the spring of '43 my brother joined the Air Force.
"My first job after graduation was a routine clerical job at Protected Home Life, but I was looking for a war job...somewhere I could help.
"I was recruited by the Alcoa Aluminum Company that had just started up where the old tin factory that folded during the depression was previously located. This new company made aircraft and bomb parts. Since this aluminum company was set up as a defense plant, it received money from the government plus a percentage for what they produced. I was one of the first four women who worked there, but at the height of the war, there were about 300 women working there.
"My job was a Hot Forging Inspector on two to 20-ton presses. The only requirement for the job was to be able to lift 25 pounds. I inspected the product as it came out of the press. With heavy gloves on, I used pliers to pick up the pieces out of the dies, and put them into a mesh basket. The basket was taken to a tub of alkaline solution to clean off the oil lubricants, and then into acid and rinse water. You could always tell who were the inspectors because we always had holes in our slacks.
"When I went to work, I had a special uniform to wear, which had a high hat to protect your head. It was high so that you knew if you were too close to something. The hat also had a long bill and a hair net. I also had to wear safety shoes.
"You got to know the people throughout the plant because we worked six days a week on all different shifts with all different press men. They did that on purpose, so that we didn't get too friendly with any one press operator. You see, the press operators got paid by the number of pieces they produced, and we got paid to inspect their product. The crews would change every week.
"Everyone car pooled because gas was rationed. The buses ran three or four times a day then. Once I thumbed a ride with a Sears-Roebuck truck to work. People helped each other out whenever they could.
"I was placed on a Labor-Management Committee which was consulted on labor questions and planned events. I once planned an all-plant rally, and was chosen the master of ceremonies for the event because I was a speech major at college. I also organized war bond drives. It was made as easy as possible for everyone to buy bonds. You could buy a 25 cent stamp, and when your book was filled, you got a bond.
"I got paid 87 ½ cents per hour, but that was a lot then because you could buy an entire dinner – appetizer to dessert – for 87 cents.
"Mom was always supportive in my job, but she had a hard time explaining to her friends what I did. Dad was proud of me, but he was used to seeing women in the factory. He had women working in his business, Quality Tools, which made automotive tools.
"On V.E. day, the whistle blew and all production stopped. The layoffs began before that though. I could see the writing on the wall, and I was already very active in the UAW/CIO, so I took a job with them at one-third the amount I was paid at the plant."
Lola Sewall Christy graduated from Westminster College in 1935, and in 1938 took a position as head of the girl's dormitory, where she lived until she was married in 1944.
"I also taught math to 20 Navy boys who lived in Hillside. Then more Army boys came, and stayed in temporary white clapboard barracks behind where Shaw is now. I also taught math to them. I'm not sure why they were here, but they did come to learn. The Navy was here two years, while the Army was only here one year toward the end of the war. Male enrollment was low during the war for regular male students.
"The military and my ladies were no problem because there were strict regulations. My girls were not allowed out in the evening past 7:30 unless they went to the library. The service men were strictly regulated too, and cooperated with the College. The men wanted to cooperate because they considered it a privilege to be here.
"I don't recall a problem with rationing at the College, but I'd bet that the dietitian had problems. However, the cafeteria always had enough food.
"None of my brothers had to go overseas. My husband, Wayne, signed up as Chaplin, but Dr. Galbreath convinced the Army that he was needed here on campus.
"I remember going on a 'plane watch' on the hill where the high school is now located. It was one of the highest places in New Wilmington. Town people, two at a time, went in hour shifts to record any sightings of planes."
Elizabeth (Betty) Yahn Miller lived with her widowed mother and older brother during the war. She commuted from her New Wilmington home while attending Westminster College, and graduated in 1944 with a degree in business.
"Pearl Harbor surprised everyone, just like the September 11 attack, but not much changed in my life then. My brother was the chief metallurgist at Sharon Steel, and because he was needed there, he didn't go to the service.
"I do remember airplane spotting at the College tower. There was a sign-up sheet at the borough building, and everyone was very serious about this job. People reported the sound the planes made and the date and the time. My brother and I would go together.
"Rationing, well I couldn't get any hose, and shoes were also difficult to get. Of course, there was gas rationing."
"Remember Rosie the Riveter? Well, even though I worked in an office, any type of job was easy for women to get – even in factories."
Helen Williamson Kaufman, who graduated from Wilmington High School in 1942, lived with her parents during the war. He father ran a dry goods store where the art gallery is now located.
"I worked for the telephone company for about a year after high school, but then in October 1943, I went to work for the Standard Steel Sprint Company. They made 500 and 1,000-pound bombs. I worked in the office. No women worked in that factory. We had guards at the gate and really tight security there.
"I used to go to the theater in New Wilmington. It used to be next to where Pizza Joe's is now...where the craft shop is now. On Saturdays before every movie, they'd run newsreels about the war.
"My father was an observer in the College tower. All the participants in this watch program had armbands.
"Each family member got a ration book, but I can't remember where we picked them up. Silk was not available then, so we went to nylon stockings. Even when I married Robert in 1953, we received aluminum gifts instead of silver, which was still in short supply."
Glenna Patton Morton graduated from Wilmington High School in 1939, even though she lived in West Middlesex at the time because her father believed the school to be better academically. She came to live in New Wilmington to attend Westminster College in 1939, and graduated in 1943 with a degree in elementary education.
"I was a sophomore at Westminster when the Pearl Harbor attack occurred. I think I was at home when the news came though. I remember that my dad used to listen to the news on the radio all the time.
"My brother, Thomas, was two years older than I. He enlisted in 1941 right after the attack. He trained in Los Angeles and then was sent overseas. He came back alright, and used the GI Bill to become a minister.
"When I started college, I stayed with Mrs. Brandon across from the library. I lived there free in exchange for cleaning her house, which was also home to several college boys on the second floor. I also worked at the College business office.
"I never noticed the effects of rationing because I never really had to deal directly with it. One change that I do remember was the military on the campus. Some of the guys were in uniform, but not all. Some just went to class and looked like regular students.
"After graduation, I went to work with Alcoa in New Castle. They recruited here at the College. I worked in their employment office, and in '45 I was transferred to Pittsburgh where I met my husband."

Congrats Maxime Nocher, winner of the La Ventana Kitefoil Goldcup!
Maxime Nocher, North Kiteboarding wins the inaugural IKA KiteFoil GoldCup 2014 in La Ventana, Mexico in an impressively dominating way:
The epic battle ensued after a brief delay on day one. By late afternoon the wind had slowly built to six knots and the sailors rigged their biggest kites. Sailing at speeds more than doubling the windspeed the competition was fierce. French sailor Maxime Nocher, North Kiteboarding, was clearly dominant in the light wind qualifying series scoring all first place finishes. However with strong wind forecasted this championship was still up for grabs.
Saturday the 15th saw the traditional "El Norte" winds having sailors rig their 7m and 9m kites. 3 races peer fleet were on the day's agenda. Johnny Heineken, Joey Pasquali and Bryan Lake showed the whole fleet how many hours they have logged the past summer and this winter by always coming in the top 7 in all races but nothing close to Frenchmen Maxime Nocher who once again took the day winning every race.
On Sunday the 16th the El Norte came in strong and heavy with 40-knot gusts and offshore winds. The strong winds made the race committee hesitant from running races due to the big swell and call for the first ever hydrofoil bigair competition. Local rider Adam Withington won this big air contest with the highest jumps, combination of tricks and smooth landings, followed by Herve Rousseau in 2nd and Maxime Nocher in 3rd.
The last day of the regatta saw perfect and traditional La Ventana winds coming strong, heavy and consistent from the North. At the end of the regatta, Maxime Nocher, North Kiteboarding, took all bullets earning his 1st place.

2. John Heineken (USA)
3. Nicolas Parlier (FRA, North Kiteboarding/Spotz)

Tom Court talks testing the Gambler!
Tom Court is NKB's wakestyle guru with a passion for freeriding. He may still be young but he is long in the tooth when it comes to riding boots and hitting rails. At just 14 he was shaping some of his own kiteboards on the Isle of Wight which attracted the attention of Channel 4 who made a documentary series on it. Now, with years of experience under his belt and a longterm sponsorship with North Kiteboarding, he has pushed the development of the Gambler and has become the go-too guy for NKB. We caught up with him to find out what he looks for in a board, where he draws his inspiration and how he goes about testing the product.
When did you first notice there was a gap in the North Range for the Gambler?
7 Years ago I started riding boots and i've never looked back. Soon after I was hitting rails and features and spending time at the cable park which has been a big influence in my style of riding. This basically opened up what I saw as a gap in the North Kiteboarding range to design a board to be ridden specifically with boots.
Before the Gambler, the existing boards in the range such as the Team Series, the Jaime and other 'rider' models were just too flat and very similar. The only real changing factor was the flex pattern. This was all great when riding straps but for my style of riding there needed to be alterations in the rocker and materials used. It was inevitable that progression of wakestyle would grow, which it did and immediately I saw a need for something stronger and more durable.
Once North Kiteboarding hopped on the idea to create the Gambler what was the process and where was inspiration drawn from.
Inspiration was drawn from the existing wakestyle kite scene. There was a desire for a something that you could use as a crossover. Basically, I wanted one board that I could take on a trip, ride cable and kite without too much of a compromise and I knew there were many kiteboarders out there looking for the same thing. We looked at taking the durability from a wakeboard in order to hit rails constantly without damaging the board, and the efficient design and high tech materials from a kiteboard. At the end of the day we still have to go upwind! It has taken about 3 years to get enough rocker on the board, but we are getting there. (laughs)
As a rider, it has been a really interesting process to be involved in developing something specific to my style of riding. Now that Craig Cunningham has joined the NKB Team, it helps in focusing the Gambler down the specific rail riding route. It's huge in the US so it's great that he can bring a lot of his knowledge to the table.
Constant development is needed. How do you test the prototypes and what are you looking for?
Testing a board like the Gambler requires a lot of different elements. Riding intensively behind a kite is crucial but also using it at the cable and behind a boat helps to add perspective to the overall functionality. I'm always searching for the ideal flex pattern in order for the board to press correctly under the transfer of weight. This pattern needs to eliminate torsional flex (twisting motion) which you can get a lot of when riding boots as there is a lot more leverage then with footstraps. I evaluate the base material for wear and damage as this happens quicker than you think when hitting the obstacles. How the board is tracking in the water with and without fins. The rocker pattern is key as too much rocker means you can't go upwind on a kite efficiently, and too little will have you sticking to the features and unable to ride away on the landings. The track system has to be compatible and work with all types of boots and be able to endure hard landings and crashes. The list is endless for testing and then of course there is the graphic design side. It's amazing to see how much hard work and development goes into just one board!
What's the best thing about the current Gambler?
It's weight and efficiency. If you combine the Gambler with Ronix boots it is easily the lightest wakestyle board on the market with little or no compromise to durability. Even though it has a fairly high rocker aspect it still retains maximum efficiency when going upwind.
You're testing at the moment for next year. Where is the Gambler headed in your opinion?
The next step with the Gambler is to start really experimenting with different materials all over. The materials are the things that have huge influence over the characteristics of the board. The future of the Gambler is to drive it down a more specified route angled towards getting maximum time on the water. Wind, or no wind this board will cater for kiting and riding cable regardless of the conditions or aspect of riding you are trying to refine. It will be the ultimate crossover board that you can have confidence in no matter the task in hand.
The Gambler sounds like a pretty specific and high tech board? Is it a board that can be ridden by anyone or any level?
Fundamentally the Gambler is nothing more than a comfortable board to ride when in boots. If you want to use it with straps, it may have just a bit too much rocker but, if you're good enough to ride boots confidently behind a kite and you like the cable then the Gambler is the board for you.

Annual Fund
The Dordt College Fund
Alumni, parents, and friends participate in the daily work of the college with their yearly gifts to the Dordt College Fund.
Contributions to the Dordt College Fund touch all corners of our campus by providing much-needed financial aid to students and supporting more than 90 programs of study, volunteer and service-learning experiences for nearly 450 students, three organized weekly worship opportunities, the research and teaching of 80 faculty members, and much more.
Simply put, through contributions to the Dordt College Fund, our community of alumni, parents, and friends directly affects the living and learning experiences of approximately 1,400 students. It's our community promise to walk alongside each one of them on their unique journeys.
Gifts for the Dordt College Fund are received in various ways:
- Leadership Gifts Program—Gifts of $1,000 or more are considered Leadership gifts to the Dordt College Fund.
- Student Phonathon—Our 25 student callers attempt to contact almost 15,000 constituents each year for gifts to the Dordt College Fund.
- Mailings
- Church Offerings
- Matching Gifts—Check to see if your employer matches your gifts given to Dordt College.
There is power in numbers! Together, our gifts can do more for each student. Please join us today.
Spring Debt Reduction Drive
The Spring Debt Reduction Drive begins in March. The Spring Drive raises funds to make annual debt payments and improvements on our academic facilities (land, buildings, furnishings, and equipment).
Gifts to the Spring Debt Reduction Drive are solicited in three ways:
- Student Phonathon
- Mailings
- Church Offerings
Alumni Drive
From January through March, student callers contact alumni to ask for a gift to the Alumni Association Regional Scholarship Program. We currently fund a $2,000 scholarship and two $1,500 scholarships for juniors, as well as thirty $1,000 scholarships to incoming freshmen from 15 different areas of North America. Our goal is to increase the number of scholarships we are able to provide allowing Dordt College to assist even more students in need of financial aid.
The Alumni Drive also supports students by funding research fellowship grants in addition to the Alumni Scholarships. Part of all alumni drive gifts provide stipends for capable students to work with professors on research projects during the summer. This makes it possible for students to get hands-on experience as they work collaboratively with faculty.

Shorting the yen while generally a good idea relies too much on timing I think. Lot of risk if you go in too soon. I also think the returns would be bigger with a CDS

He's telling the truth but at the same time.... Japan is in the "too big to fail" group.
Can isolate Greece by spending 10 years building a firewall around it.
But Japan? no.
The rest of the world might as well start the Japanese bailout right now. That would be almost as big as letting the entire Eurozone fail all at one time.
Last edited by Agorism; 01-04-2013 at 08:44 PM.
It's worse than the Eurozone and certainly much worse than Greece.
The Eurozone's demographic nightmare is decades out and their financial crisis issues remain to be seen. If you support Austrian economics then cutting spending should resolve a debt issue...
As mentioned in the video, Japan is the most Xenophobic nation -and- their people don't reproduce. So their demographic nightmare is right now and you can't change that.
Europe's average age: 39.9 (source: http://en.worldstat.info/Europe/List...tal_median_age)
USA's average age: 37.2 (source: http://www.census.gov/prod/cen2010/b...c2010br-03.pdf)
Japan's average age: 44.6 (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._by_median_age)
If that number holds true, the USA would be where Japan is in 20 to 30 years. Europe getting there a little sooner. Both examples assume nothing changes... no wars, no baby booms, etc.
What concerns me most is that Ben Bernanke is following the Japan road map. Japan is 20 years into it and is starting to implode. Bernanke started down the road in 2008...
To those who view an imminent collapse of the US Bond market - take note.
One of the smartest and well spoken humans on this planet doesn't even view Japans bond market collapse as imminent. 2016.
Japan is, structurally, a catastrophe when compared to the US and it's structural issues. The US may be in rough shape but it is in WAY better shape than Japan.
I saw an interview with Kyle Bass (from Oct 2012) stating that he thought the major cracks in the Japanese bond market would surface in 2013 - but COLLAPSE may not occur until 2016. I'm inclined to agree.
Japan/UK/USA - these are HUGE countries, effectively, superpowers...these sort of things take a lot of time to ferment.
Japan is FIRST in the collapse.
When I say collapse...I do not mean just the collapse of an aspect of it's credit markets...I mean the entire way that it is structured as an economy.
Japan will go down BEFORE the US.
Relative to the other sinking ships, the US (it's dollar and bond markets) are likely to sink the LEAST quickly.

Found someone post a response video to this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWmOmt1zJ7Y
Im gonna watch it in a bit see if the guy knows what hes talking about.
Another great video from kyle Bass. Hes definately one of us. Talks about Europe more:
Japan will go down BEFORE the US.
I don't think Japan can go down without taking everyone with them.
So it's bail out time. Whether the Fed has to do it or Europe or whatever. Probably the Fed since Europe bank has no actual power.
Not sure about that, Japans debt is all internally held where as USA a large portion is external held. They have more control over it than the US. The only thing going for the US is the reserve currency of the world which is quickly being rejected for trade between countries.

Well the USDJPY has exploded as of recent. By the chart, it looks like this is the biggest move in 5 years. Something could be brewing, especially as prime minister abe has effectively taken over the central bank.

Kyle Bass goes over this in depth.
Japan's demographics are AWEFUL. As stated, they now sell more ADULT diapers then child diapers. That is a fact. A very, very destabilizing fact.
These "savers" are now offloading their saved money because they are into retirement and there are now fewer participants entering 1) the socialized security systems 2) the bond/savings market.
Japan cannot hold a candle to the US from a standpoint of long standing viability. And that is saying something as the US appears to be dying of gangrenous infection. Japan CANNOT save it's current structure. It's not impropable, it's impossible.
The US faces IMPROBABLE odds of returning itself to a strong structure (social and economic).
Japans radical restructuring is imminent and unavoidable.
This is not a doomsday prediction, that's not my MO. Merely pointing out that the gravy train is over. A return to a healthy social and economic environment will take a 20-30 year restructuring with the most difficult years beginning NOW.

I watched his vid and while I totally disagree with his views - he is right on many levels as to what has happened and may happen in the short term. long-term it's game over once they lose control - but they are still in control and most everything that should have happened - hasn't. wouldn't you agree? guess that's what a die-hard Kensyan looks like.

Sure it blows during storms, cold fronts, hurricanes ETC. But not for days on end, and never at 25 mph sustained with gusts up to 40.... Something is afoot, what it may be is anyone's guess. One can hope it's all due to a normal cycle of climatic events, those strung out over thousands of years, but damn this is crazy stuff.
Over the week-end they closed Breckenridge for the first time ever due to high winds. Despite it blowing up to 100-120 on the mountain some people were still upset at not being allowed to ski................Maybe that is part of the problem, maybe the wind God is hoping to cull a few fools from the herd.........
Some people will never get it...I find that both amazing as well as depressing.
Here's a brave man who fell to a sad freak accident.
CO driver killed by branch steered car to safety
BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — A Colorado man who was killed when a 3-foot tree branch flew through his windshield and impaled him in the chest was able to steer the car to safety before losing consciousness.
The wife of 61-year-old James Baker-Jarvis told the Daily Camera (http://goo.gl/WsaHg ) that her husband was able to pull the Subaru Outback over to the roadside, saving her from any injury. Baker-Jarvis died later at a hospital.
Saturday's incident north of Boulder came as high winds swept through the Northern Rockies, toppling two semis, forcing shutdowns along long stretches of highways and causing some 19,000 power failures throughout Colorado.
In Wyoming, two people were injured Saturday when debris blew off the roof of a Cheyenne Sam's Club store. The Wyoming Tribune Eagle (http://goo.gl/168R4 ) reports that at least five other people were treated at Cheyenne Regional Medical Center for wind-related injuries.
None of the Wyoming injuries was considered life-threatening. The winds reached gusts of 76 mph in Cheyenne, said Tim Trudel, a forecaster for the National Weather Service.
High winds are nothing new in the Mountains and high plains, it's their frequency that has people asking questions in regard to what is really going on.

Fierce winds in Colorado snarl highways
A jet stream brought winds fierce enough to turn driving into a white-knuckle experience Thursday, forcing trucks off Interstate 25 at the Wyoming border and gusting to 102 mph in Colorado.
It will get going again this evening, pounding the northeastern part of the state with gusts to 60 mph overnight and into Saturday, according to the National Weather Service.
Gusts topped out at 102 mph southeast of Pinecliffe in Jefferson County at 2:20 a.m. Thursday, said Eric Thaler, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Boulder. A peak gust of 79.5 mph was recorded at 9:20 a.m. at the National Wind Technology Center near Boulder.
The high-wind warning expired at 5 p.m., but the winds didn't get the message.
About 7:30 p.m., three empty cargo trailers were overturned by wind gusts estimated at more than 100 mph at Table Mesa Parkway and 45th Drive northeast of Golden, said Fairmount fire Lt. Chad Bassett.
Winds of 60 and 70 mph were common throughout the region Thursday, Thaler said.
Crazy stuff.

Sanfilippo syndrome is metabolism disorder passed down through families. It makes the body unable to properly break down long chains of sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (formerly called mucopolysaccharides).
The syndrome belongs to a group of diseases called mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS). Specifically, it is known as MPS III.
See also:
Sanfilippo syndrome occurs when the substances (enzymes) needed to break down the heparan sulfate sugar chain are missing or are defective.
There are four main types of Sanfilippo syndrome, also called MPS III. Which type a person has depends on which enzyme is affected.
The syndrome is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. If both parents carry the defective gene related to this condition, each of their children has a 25% chance of developing the disease.
Sanfilippo syndrome is possibly the most common forms of MPS. It is seen in about 1 in 70,000 births. A family history of Sanfilippo syndrome increases the risk for this condition.
Unlike many other forms of MPS, symptoms often appear after the first year of life. A decline in learning ability typically occurs between ages 2 and 6. The child may have normal growth during the first few years, but final height is below average. Delayed development is followed by deteriorating mental status.
Other symptoms include:
A physical exam may show signs of liver and spleen swelling. An eye exam will show clear corneas, unlike the cloudy corneas seen in persons with Hurler syndrome (MPS I H). Neurological testing will reveal signs of seizures and intellectual disability.
Urine tests will be done. Persons with Sanfilippo syndrome have large amounts of a mucopolysaccharide called heparan sulfate in the urine.
Other tests may include:
There is no specific treatment available for Sanfilippo syndrome.
Additional information and resources are available from the National MPS Society .
The syndrome causes significant neurological symptoms, including severe intellectual disability. IQs may be below 50. Most persons with Sanfilippo syndrome live into their teenage years. Some patients live longer, while others with severe forms die at an earlier age. Symptoms appear most severe in persons with type A Sanfilippo syndrome.
Call your health care provider if your child does not seem to be growing or developing normally.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you plan to have children and you have a family history of Sanfilippo syndrome.
Genetic counseling is recommended for prospective parents with a family history of Sanfilippo syndrome. Counseling is also recommended for families who have a child with Sanfilippo syndrome, to help them understand the condition and possible treatments. Prenatal testing is available.

Paralegal suggests Ed Smith Stadium should be a homeless shelter
Date: August 4, 2011
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
In researching how best to address the homeless issue in Sarasota, legal consultant Michael Barfield discovered an obscure state law that prompted him to make an unusual suggestion — use Ed Smith Stadium as a homeless shelter.
Barfield was among a group of residents who met recently with City Commissioner Paul Caragiulo to discuss homelessness.
In his research, Barfield found Florida State Statute 288.1166, which states that publicly funded professional sports facilities, such as Ed Smith Stadium, "shall be designated as a shelter site for the homeless".
Barfield was part of the legal team that sued the county over what it claimed were out-of-sunshine negotiations with baseball teams wanting to use the stadium.
"My initial reaction: I laughed," he said of the homeless shelter prospect. "But after thinking about it more, it made sense. (The stadium) has showers, food preparation areas, and it's only used a few weeks out of the year."
The statute was part of the rule written as a result of local governments using state funds designed specifically to build stadiums to keep spring-training baseball in Florida.
Millions of dollars have been poured into Ed Smith Stadium during the past year to upgrade it for its new tenants, the Baltimore Orioles.
An Orioles spokesman did not return messages seeking comment.
Caragiulo said he's not yet sold on the idea, but he's not shying away from it, either.
"Once you get over the initial shock, it's very intriguing," the commissioner said. "I don't know if it could work, because it's all in the logistics."
Barfield suggested just a small part of the stadium be designated as a shelter, so the Orioles' operations are not impacted. He also said a full-time security guard would be needed.
County Attorney Steve DeMarsh is not sure that the state statute will require that use in Ed Smith Stadium.
Said Interim County Administrator Terry Lewis: "At first blush, (DeMarsh) said it may not apply. But he's going to research it a lot more."
Barfield said he hopes the Orioles will see a benefit and not dismiss the idea without giving it some thought.
"Sarasota helped out the Orioles when they were homeless," he said.
The law
Florida Statute 288.1166
Any professional sports facility constructed with financial assistance from the state of Florida shall be designated as a shelter site for the homeless in accordance with the criteria of locally existing homeless shelter programs, except when the facility is otherwise contractually obligated for a specific event or activity. Should a local program not be in existence in the facility's area, such program shall be established in accordance with normally accepted criteria as defined by the county or its designee.

- If you ever have the plesure to be homeless.. You would understand that it is not for the people that are on pills and drunk's and don't care about what you think .. thay will live were ever thay want ,and you can put them in jail 100 time's thay still won't care..But you take me for that time to stand on my feet and get a job save my money strighting out my lic. so i can get a better job and be able look you in the eye... when you called me a bum.. just to see your face would be worth it !!! i don't want'a sky box, just a place to lay my head , a job ,place to go that's out of the street's P.S. for those that never been homeless try this have no money,no car , no friend's to help,all by your self with no job and start from there ... I DARE YOU!!!!! then you'll see were im comeing from when you loose everthing.. i would jump at the chance to have roof over my head

- I want a sky box too as long as someone else pays for them--like the tax payers! If they can give them to the homeless, they can give priority to tax paying citizens. The homeless are homeless because they do not want to give up drugs, alcohol and tobacco in order to receive the abundant help that is out there from various charities. All the bleeding hearts should adopt them. Talk is cheap. Actions count. Put your money where your mouth is or shut up.
- 3.
- perhaps you should look at my July 19, 2011 email to city and county
commissioners re FS Ed Smith and homeless before granting credit to someone else

- If my condo board succeeds in gentrifying me out of my unit I want a sky box.

Gangrene is the death of tissue in part of the body.
Gangrene happens when a body part loses its blood supply. This may happen from injury, an infection, or other causes. You have a higher risk for gangrene if you have:
The symptoms depend on the location and cause of the gangrene. If the skin is involved, or the gangrene is close to the skin, the symptoms may include:
If the affected area is inside the body (such as gangrene of the gallbladder or gas gangrene ), the symptoms may include:
The doctor may diagnose gangrene from a physical examination. In addition, the following tests and procedures may be used to diagnose gangrene:
Gangrene requires urgent evaluation and treatment. In general, dead tissue should be removed to allow healing of the surrounding living tissue and prevent further infection. Depending on the area that has the gangrene, the person's overall condition, and the cause of the gangrene, treatment may include:
What to expect depends on where the gangrene is in the body, how much gangrene there is, and the person's overall condition. If treatment is delayed, the gangrene is extensive, or the person has other significant medical problems, they may die.
Complications depend on where in the body the gangrene is, how much gangrene there is, the cause of the gangrene, and the person's overall condition. Complications can include:
Call your doctor immediately if:
Gangrene may be prevented if it is treated before the tissue damage is irreversible. Wounds should be treated properly and watched carefully for signs of infection (such as spreading redness, swelling, or drainage) or failure to heal.
People with diabetes or blood vessel disease should routinely examine their feet for any signs of injury, infection, or change in skin color and seek care as needed.

Sept. 16, 1960: Warren Spahn tosses no-hitter
By Bridget Bielefeld
Warren Spahn had earned many accolades by the start of the 1960 season – the 16th of his career. He had won a Cy Young award, a World Series championship and was an 11-time all-star. He had 10 20-win seasons under his belt and a slew of other awards in his trophy case.
Yet one thing was still missing from his illustrious r�sum� – a no-hitter.
That void would be filled 49 years ago today: Sept. 16, 1960, when Spahn, at 39 years old, achieved baseball immortality against the Philadelphia Phillies at Milwaukee County Stadium.
Spahn, a crafty southpaw with a high leg kick, had been making quick work of the Phillies all evening. Coming into the top of the ninth inning, in a game that was barely two hours old, Spahn had only allowed two base runners – both of whom reached on walks.
With four runs of support from his Braves, Spahn was in a position to make history.
No. 9 hitter Bobby Gene Smith was the first to bat for the Phils in the ninth. Spahn promptly struck him out for his 14th K of the game – and proceeded to do the same to leadoff man Bobby Del Greco, elevating his total to 15 on the night.
Only one man now stood between Spahn and an accomplishment which few men achieve in a lifetime. Second baseman Bobby Malkmus stepped into the batter's box, and just as quickly as the game had progressed up to that point, it ended – with a groundout to shortstop Johnny Logan.
"He's beyond comparison with any modern left-hander," Hall of Famer Casey Stengel said "He has beaten every handicap – the live ball, second division teams. No one can ever say anything to deny his greatness."
With the win, Spahn improved to 20-9 and lowered his ERA to 3.46. He finished the season 21-10 and placed second in Cy Young award voting behind Vern Law of the Pirates.
Spahn would go on to throw his second no hitter April 28 of the following year – at 40 years old.
"I don't think Spahn will ever get into the Hall of Fame," Stan Musial once said. "He'll never stop pitching."
After the 1960 season, Spahn would spend four more years with the Braves before joining the New York Mets and then San Francisco Giants in 1965 — the year he played his final big league game.
Spahn finished his career with 363 wins (a record for left-handers) and remains sixth on the all-time wins list. He was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1973 in his first year of eligibility. Only 10 other pitchers have accomplished that feat.
Just add it to his r�sum�.
Bridget Bielefeld was the 2009 public relations intern at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

5/8/13: I was walking my dog today when my neighbor, Bobby Malkmus, pulled up in his car. While we were talking about the Mets' Matt Harvey's 1-hitter last night, Bob mentioned that he made the last out in Spahn's no hitter in 1960. He remembered it as a liner that Spahn deflected to the shortstop. I came home and googled it which led me to this page. For those interested, Bob's in good health and does some scouting for the Indians here in NJ.

When you have arthritis, being active is good for your overall health and sense of well-being.
Exercise keeps your muscles strong and increases your range of motion (This is how much you can bend and flex your joints). Tired, weak muscles add to the pain and stiffness of arthritis.
Stronger muscles also help you with balance to prevent falls. Being stronger can also give you more energy, and help you lose weight and sleep better.
If you will be having surgery, exercising can help you stay strong, which will speed up your recovery.
Water exercises may be the best exercise for your arthritis. Swimming laps, water aerobics, or even just walking in the shallow end of a pool all make the muscles around your spine and legs stronger.
Ask your doctor if you can use a stationary bike. Be aware that if you have arthritis of the hip or knee cap, biking can worsen your symptoms.
If you are not able to do water exercises or use a stationary bike, try walking, as long as it does not cause too much pain. Walk on smooth, even surfaces, such as the sidewalks near your home or inside a shopping mall.
Ask your physical therapist or doctor to show you gentle exercises that will increase your range of motion and strengthen the muscles around your knees.
As long as you do not overdo it, staying active and getting exercise will not make your arthritis get worse faster.
Taking acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) or another pain medicine before you exercise is OK. But do not overdo your exercise because you took the medicine.
If exercise causes your pain to worsen, try cutting back on how long or how hard you exercise the next time.
