WILLIAMSBURG– Conventional wisdom has it that it is tough to beat a team three times in one season, let alone in one week. But the Clear Creek Amana (CCA) Clippers baseball team dashed that notion as well as South Tama's hopes of advancing toward the state championship Friday, July 18, in a Class 3A Substate 5 District 9 semifinal baseball game in Williamsburg. The Clippers trounced the Trojans 10-3 to go on to face Vinton-Shellsburg in a district final Monday, July 21.
CEDAR RAPIDS– A late-season rally by the Clear Creek Amana (CCA) Clippers softball team continued Tuesday, July 15, as they earned the right to compete in the state softball tournament by defeating the Washington Demons 6-1 in a Class 4A regional final at Xavier High School.
IOWA CITY– The varsity softball season ended Monday, July 14, for the West High Trojans as they fell 7-1 in a Class 5A regional semifinal at home against the Falcons of Davenport West.
For coach Justin Lutjen, his first season with the Women of Troy ended far too soon.
"This isn't how we wanted to end it," he said with tears in his eyes. "We had high expectations and those will never change, and they won't change next year."
IOWA CITY– It's the doubleheader played over two days with bragging rights on the line: the annual meeting between City High and West High on the baseball diamond. Last year, the Little Hawks and Trojans split the contest with each team taking a win.
This year, it was all West.
The Trojans opened the series at home on Monday, July 7. Coach Charlie Stumpff was recognized and honored for over 600 career wins prior to the game, and the West boys gave him one more by taking down the Little Hawks, 6-2.
SHUEYVILLE– Hippocrates is said to have coined the phrase, "Primum non nocerum (First do no harm)," as part of his famous and time-honored oath for physicians. Although he's not a medical doctor, Marck Dudrey, aka: the Motor Doctor, takes that philosophy to heart when it comes to his customers' wallets.
"I like to think of myself as auto repair with a conscience," Dudrey said. "I'm not going to sell you something on your car that I don't feel you need."
TIFFIN– The task is great, but the time is short for Clear Creek Amana's (CCA) enrollment and boundary study committee.
The members now ponder how to realign the district's elementary school attendance areas ahead of a new elementary currently under construction in Tiffin. The committee, comprised of 16 members, held it's first meeting Thursday, June 26, at the high school in Tiffin.

BARTONVILLE, Ill. -- The gym at Oak Grove West was filled with pink Friday night in honor of breast cancer awareness.
The 7th and 8th grade boys basketball players played in pink shoes and fans wore pinks shirts.
But, Friday isn't the only night the boys wore pink shoes.
They showed up to their first practice wearing the shoes after their coach's wife was diagnosed with breast cancer.
It was the boys' idea to have a pink out to support their coach and his wife.
Samantha West was diagnosed with breast cancer in May and says the support from the boys and the school shows they really are one big family.
"I just feel humble, to be around such great people, and appreciative of everybody. It just makes me very emotional," said breast cancer survivor Samantha West.
The coaches and basketball players hope they can make pink out a yearly event to raise awareness for breast cancer and early detection.

From time to time, we receive emails from people concerned about a lack of mainstream media coverage of the persecution of the ancient churches inside Iraq, an already tragic situation that is getting worse as Iraq begins to fly apart into competing Islamic states, or tribes, or whatever. This is, of course, part of a wider story in the region — as I learned during my recent visit to Istanbul.
However, this morning I was reading my usual newspapers on the train when I ran into two paragraphs in The Washington Times that added yet another stunning angle to this story. This is one of those situations where I knew something was happening — at the head level — but the bare facts in the newspaper still hit home.
The story by veteran religion writer Julia Duin, a friend of this blog, focuses on yet another hearing by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. Sadly, hearings of this kind take place all the time and, thus, this rather short story was located on an inside page. Here's the lede:
Iraq's outnumbered Christians and other religious minority groups are targets of a terror campaign and are facing a dire situation where killings and rapes have become the norm, a panel of witnesses testified yesterday on Capitol Hill.
But here are the two paragraphs that snuck up on me. The quote is from the Rev. Canon Andrew White, vicar of St. George's Anglican Church in Baghdad:
Iraq's eight remaining Jews, now hiding in Baghdad, are "the oldest Jewish community in the world," he said, referring to the 597 B.C. Babylonian conquest of ancient Judah that brought the Jews to the region as captives.
"The international community has done nothing to help these people," Mr. White said, explaining that the group is trying to emigrate to an Iraqi Jewish enclave in the Netherlands, which won't admit them.
Here's the question that popped into my mind: Which is more surprising, that there are only eight Jews left in Iraq or that officials in the Netherlands will not grant them asylum?
Have I missed it, or has there been extensive coverage of this issue? There will, of course, be headlines when the last Jews are killed or exiled against their will. I think.

A repetition maximum (RM) is the the most weight you can lift for a defined number of exercise movements.
A 1 RM, for example, is the heaviest weight you can lift if you give it your maximum effort. A 1RM is your personal weightlifting record for any particular exercise. It could be a squat or deadlift or any other.
A 10RM would be the heaviest weight you could lift for 10 consecutive exercise repetitions.
The exercise program calls for 3 sets of 6RM lifts.

About this title: The New Managerialism and Public Service Professionals is a fresh and insightful analysis of the changes that have taken place in the UK public sector over the past twenty years. Unlike many other recent accounts it is not assumed that these policy goals were always implemented or that new approaches to the management of services are necessarily effective. Drawing on an extensive review of major published research it considers developments in three areas: the National Health Service, social services and housing. This analysis reveals marked differences in the way the professions responded to change and draws attention to some significant costs associated with restructuring.

Jason Michael Snow, Lindsay Nicole Chambers, Andrew Brewer Star in Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man, Beginning Jan. 22
By Andrew Gans
Matt Murphy's Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man, which is based on the best-selling book by Dan Anderson and Maggie Berman, begins performances at The 777 Theatre Jan. 22.
Directed by Tim Drucker, the new comedy will officially open Feb. 9.
The cast includes Jason Michael Snow as Dan, Lindsay Nicole Chambers as Robyn and Andrew Brewer as Stefan. Rachel Moulton and Grant MacDermott are the understudies.
Sex Tips, according to press notes, "is set inside a local university auditorium, where the featured event is an interactive discussion with the author of 'Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man.' With the help of Stefan, a hunky stage assistant, author Dan Anderson encourages the shy and studious moderator of the event, Robyn, to follow her dreams while following his tips."
"Some of our best tips were picked up and perfected in New York, where the competition is, ahem, stiff. We're excited that this hilarious adaptation of our book will be there to entertain as well as inform," said authors and real-life best friends Dan Anderson (the gay man) and Maggie Berman (the straight woman) in a previous statement.
Presented by Matt Murphy and Shawn Nightingale, the production also features scenic design by Luke Cantarella, costume design by Tilly Grimes, lighting design by Brian Tovar and video and sound design by Randy Blair. Renee Lynette DeMaio is the production stage manager; the company manager is Matt Franzetti. Casting is by Geoff Josselson Casting.
Show times are Monday at 8 PM, Tuesday at 7 PM, Thursday at 8 PM, Friday at 7 PM and 10 PM, Saturday at 2 PM and 8 PM and Sunday at 7 PM. The show runs 80 minutes with no intermission.
There will be a talkback with the authors of the book (moderated by Michael Musto) Jan. 25.
The 777 Theatre is located at 777 Eighth Avenue, between 47th and 48th Streets. Tickets, priced $49.69-$69.69, are available by visiting SexTipsPlay.com.

When he abandoned his tax plan this summer to make a budget deal, Gov. Jerry Brown suggested he'd try again to raise revenue with a ballot measure in November 2012.
But two months later, Brown and the labor unions that could fund such an effort are stuck in preliminary, disjointed talks, discouraged by internal polls and undecided about which taxes to pursue. Labor officials, saying time is short to prepare for a campaign, are becoming increasingly anxious.
"We've got to all come together and support one thing, and we don't have a lot of time," said Dean Vogel, president of the California Teachers Association. "Whether it's mid-September or mid-October, the fact is we've got to have something."
Vogel said his association is looking for a measure worth $8 billion to $10 billion while "trying to be the floor coordinator" for seven or eight groups considering different ideas about what to pursue.
"Hopefully," he said, "something will break soon."
Brown described the tax talks as similar to "herding cats."
He said he has sufficient time to consider options, but he is unsure what to do.
"The path forward is not an easy one, because there is a strong resistance to tax increases," Brown said.
The challenge for Brown is to propose tax increases that are both relatively popular and unlikely to attract opposition from well-funded business groups. Some industry-specific taxes that poll relatively well could be doomed by heavy-spending opposition in a campaign, while some broader-based tax increases that are less offensive to business groups the vehicle license fee, for example are disliked by voters.
Proponents' planning is also complicated by uncertainty about the political and economic landscape more than a year from now, including the effects of the presidential campaign and another round of budget talks in Sacramento.
Democrats are assuming any tax measure will need to qualify as an initiative through the time-consuming signature-gathering process because Republicans this year were unwilling to provide the necessary votes to put one on the ballot through legislative action.
"This is not an easy nut to crack," Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg said. "These decisions need to be made over the next weeks, and certainly not too far into the fall."
Brown's plan to extend temporary tax increases on vehicles, income and sales the proposal blocked by Republican lawmakers in budget talks this year was tested by Brown on labor and business interests before he proposed it. Brown is similarly expected to make any decision about a tax initiative next year in consultation with those groups and with legislative leaders.
Allan Zaremberg, president of the California Chamber of Commerce, said he has not yet discussed potential tax proposals with Brown, but he said he has had "nonspecific discussions with some of the union people."
Like Brown, Zaremberg said "there's certainly plenty of time to sit down and discuss options."
"It certainly isn't time to panic," he said. "I'm not sure it's even time to be anxious yet."
Brown was consumed by budget talks for the first half of the first year of his third term, and as the Legislature finishes its session next month, he will be required to act on a flurry of legislation.
Dave Low, executive director of the California School Employees Association, said he expects Brown to refocus on taxes after the legislative session ends, and he said labor groups are "anticipating his next move."
"It does sort of revolve around him to a great degree," Low said. "He has the title, he has the capacity to raise money. He is the one who's sort of going to set the agenda."
The Democratic governor said in Fresno last week that it would "be nice to have the vehicle license fee" at a higher rate, for example. But he said later that the fee "isn't all that popular."
"We're looking at what will people accept," he said. "And there's not too much."
Asked at a press conference Thursday if he is any closer to deciding what taxes to propose, Brown said only, "No."
Steinberg, who is discussing potential tax measures with the governor, said whatever package is proposed should include higher taxes on the wealthiest Californians, but also business tax credits or other incentives "to help reduce the unemployment rate in California."
Low favors assembling $5 billion to $6 billion in proposed revenue, including eliminating certain corporate tax breaks and increasing taxes on the state's highest earners.
"I don't come from the school of thought that there's nothing you can do in 2012," he said.
However, he added, "It's not a walk in the park. That's for sure."
Any plan Brown advances will face opposition from tax foes, who are preparing their own initiative a spending cap for November 2012.
Jon Coupal, president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, said the economy is unlikely to significantly improve before elections next year. He believes voters will be no more inclined in that climate to raise taxes than they are now.

TROY, N.Y. - The case against a Troy teen, who told police she shot and killed her father, will now go to a Grand Jury.
17-year-old Trinity Copeland was scheduled in Troy City Court on Tuesday, but the hearing was waived and the case referred to a Grand Jury at Rensselaer County Court.
Copeland is charged with second-degree Murder. In a police report obtained by NEWS10, Copeland admits to killing her father, Harlan Copeland, early Friday morning as he sat on his couch inside their home on Seventh Avenue.
Authorities say the shooting stemmed from an argument after Copeland used her father's ATM card without his permission.

Hall, Jennifer Carpenter, Desmond Harrington, James Remar, David Zayas, C.S. Lee, and Lauren Velez.
The explosively popular "Dexter" is back with a vengeance for a sixth season of startling suspense and unexpected twists. It's been a year since last season's shocking and heartbreaking conclusion, and mild mannered criminologist-cum-grisly serial killer Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) has come to terms with who he is. But his existence is shattered when he crosses paths with an enemy unlike any he's faced before. A delusional religious zealot with unflinching convictions, this new adversary soon draws Dexter into a dangerous game that could well end in disaster.

Dairy Farmers Revive Old Customs
Jun 07, 2002 — If you drive out into the countryside these days, expecting pastoral scenes of placid cows grazing leisurely on grassy hillsides, you'll be at least 50 years too late. Traditional pastoral herding practices, based on the summertime abundance of self-renewing grasses, has mostly disappeared. It's been replaced by year-round production based on dried feeds grown from intensively worked soils. But some farms are resisting the trend. The Pleasant Ridge Farm in Dodgeville, Wisconsin, like a number of other farms around the Great Lakes region, is an example of a successful and quite modern, revival of pasture-based agriculture. You would also find an incredibly tasty cheese. The Great Lakes Radio Consortium's Ed Janus reports. Go to full article

A length of exceptionally sharp metal with a handle, used for centuries as the go-to killing device for the human race. It's dead simple: you stick the pointy end in the thing you want to die. Or you could always slash them with the equally sharp sides. That works too.

No one knows for sure whether certain viruses can raise your risk of developing prostate cancer. Recently, several studies have shown that certain viruses may be more common in men who develop prostate cancer than in those who don't develop it.
One of these viruses is xenotropic murine leukemia virus (also known as XMRV), which for years has been known to cause cancers in mice. Recent research has shown that this virus is more common in men with prostate cancer.
As of yet, there's no way to tell if the virus actually causes prostate cancer or if it's just associated with it.
It's also important to note that many men in these recent studies developed prostate cancer and did not have any strange viruses (such as XMRV). This suggests that, at best, XMRV and other viruses are only part of the answer as to what causes prostate cancer.

And it is natural for the sannyasins to feel immensely protective towards me, for the simple reason that they know the light of a candle is strong enough to fill the whole room with light, but it is so vulnerable: just a small breeze from the window may put it out.
There is no contradiction in it. Both are coming from different sources.
Osho,Washing your clothes, cooking your food, helping those who come to you with questions, spreading your words to the far corners of the world, yearning from thousands of miles away for just a glimpse of you - why are these things so dear?Why is the mystery of this night sky filled with you so precious?
The moment you feel something authentic in a world which is absolutely insincere; the moment you feel something as pure love in a world where even love is polluted, where you cannot find anything that is worthy for human beings.. And suddenly you come across a man who seems to be coming from another world, talking another language, showing ways to reach to faraway stars, making every effort to help you for no motivation, just because he enjoys helping people to reach the stars.
Naturally to do any small thing for such a man makes you feel a great joy. What you are doing does not matter.
I am reminded of an incident in Gautam Buddha's life. His cousin-brother who was older than him wanted to be initiated, but he said to Gautam Buddha, "Listen Siddhartha" - that was his family name - "before I take initiation I want to put a few conditions on you, because once I am initiated, then I cannot say anything to you: then you are the master and I am simply a shadow. So it has to be decided before initiation because right now I am your elder brother, and you are my younger brother." And traditionally in India the elder should be respected.
So Buddha asked, "What are your conditions?"
He said, "Not very big.very small. One, that I will be always with you. So you will not be able to tell me after initiation that, 'Ananda, you go to a certain place to spread the word - travel.' No, I am going to be with you, so you have to remember it after initiation.
"This is absolute.because I want to wash your clothes, I want to take care of your body, I want to massage your feet after the whole day's walking from one village to another. I want to take care that you are getting the right food, enough food. I want to take care that on cold nights you are not cold; that on hot days you are not in a space which is hot. Just small things.. I am not asking this for me.

Cider Recipes
Hard-Cider Gravy
Yes, gravy should be lump-free (always whisk, don't stir), but it's the flavor of the roux that makes or breaks what gets passed at the table. Toasting flour in butter is what develops its deep, nutty taste. You'll know it's done when it's the color of graham crackers and smells like popcorn.
The New England Express
BA Foodist Andrew Knowlton explains: "The day is hard enough. Shaking cocktails would be suicide! Punch, however, works. In a nod to early New England Thanksgivings, I use two regional pours: rum (big in the Colonial days) and cider. Unlike most punches, this one won't leave you under the table after two glasses."

'17 Again'
Zac Efron, looking cool, is movie enough for the makers of " 17 Again," a halfhearted fantasy that stars Efron in a role cryogenically frozen around the time of C. Thomas Howell's '80s heyday. He plays a high school basketball star who has everything going for him. His college sports career gets derailed by his girlfriend's unplanned pregnancy. This 1989 prologue doesn't last long, but the Boy George and Vanilla Ice references are intense.

Cyclists boost Beacon Centre for the Blind
Updated 12:43pm Tuesday 15th April 2014 in News
SEDGLEY based Beacon Centre has been boosted by the efforts of cyclists Graham Hodson and Mel Perry who have spent the week pedalling their way around all the major football grounds in the North West of England.
The intrepid pair, who are both longstanding football referees are attempting to raise around £4,000 which will go towards the JW Hunt Cup and Stourbridge based Max Appeal.
They took in grounds across North Wales, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Cheshire and Staffordshire before returning home.
It included trips to Chester, Liverpool, Everton, Wigan Athletic, Bolton Wanderers, Stockport County, Manchester United, Manchester City, Stoke City, Port Vale and Crewe Alexandra Money raised through the JW Hunt Cup goes towards supporting the Beacon Centre while Max Appeal helps families dealing with DiGeorge Syndrome, which is a genetic disorder that causes heart defects.

Software Development for the Public Cloud Platforms: Windows Azure vs. Google App Engine vs. Amazon Web Services (AWS) vs AppHarbor. ...
Software Development for the Public Cloud Platforms: Windows Azure vs. Google App Engine vs. Amazon Web Services (AWS) vs AppHarbor.
In this talk the speaker will compare the most widely used public PaaS clouds (Azure, GAE and AWS) from the software developer's perspective.
A parallel between Azure, GAE, AWS and few other clouds (like AppHarbor, Heroku, Cloudfoundry and AppForce) will be made based on several criteria: architecture, pricing, storage services (non-relational databases, relational databases in the cloud and blob/file storage), business-tier services (like queues, notifications, email, CDN, etc.), supported languages, platforms and frameworks and front-end technologies.
A live demo will be made to compare the way we build and deploy a multi-tiered application in Azure, Amazon and GAE and how to implement its back-end (using a cloud database), business tier (based on REST services) and front-end (based on HTML5).
The speaker Svetlin Nakov (http://www.nakov.com) is well-known software development expert and trainer, a head of the Telerik Software Academy and a main organizer of the Cloud Development course (http://clouddevcourse.telerik.com).

photo by Elmtree
Where would you start if you wanted to explore Wellington in a rental car? Being the nation's capital, you can be sure to find something that you would enjoy doing in Wellington. Of course, having a hire car to get you to the many attractions will provide you with complete convenience and freedom. We have started a list of things that you can do in Wellington. We are always looking to update our list, so feel free to let us know if you have any great ideas for our other car rental customers.
Wellington Zoo - The title speaks for itself. Expect to be one with nature as you stroll through the zoo viewing many exotic and endangered animals. It is a great day out for young and old and with ample parking available -- you can park your car and enjoy yourself.
Te Papa - is the nations museum and is crowned the world leader in interactive and visitor-focused displays. You will have to pay for parking if you drive your hire car to the museum, but you do not have to pay an admission fee. Take note that you may have to pay for some unique activities or exhibitions.
Cuba Street District - Cuba Street is THE place to be if you have an adventurous pallet. With the two most recent winners of the Cuisine New Zealand Restaurant of the Year Supreme Award, it is a foodie's dream come true. It is also arguably the coolest street in New Zealand, being the creative heart of Wellington. With its boutique shops and Bohemian feel, it attracts emerging artists, creatives, and coffee addicts alike.
City Gallery - Located in Civic Square is a must see for those art lovers visiting Wellington city. With a constant stream of new exhibitions and local artist's work, it really is a local source of pride and expression that simply cannot be missed. Parking your car at one of the many car parks around the city will also give you the opportunity to walk up Cuba Street to the Bowen Galleries or Enjoy Art Gallery.
Wellington Information for you
Wellington is the capital of the "land of the long white cloud". It is located on the southwestern tip of the North Island. The city hasn't always been the capital -- it replaced its northern sister Auckland soon after settlement in 1841. Today it is the most southern capital city in the world.
The city is also at the cultural heart of the country with major arts & music festivals, a café & dining culture, live music and international film festivals. With easily recognizable names like Jane Campion, Flight of the Conchords, Shihad & Russell Crowe, Wellington proves to be a breeding ground for talent.
Pack your coats when heading to Wellington as the weather can become very cold, very quickly. Another point to note is the wind factor. Wellington is not called 'The Windy City' for nothing. In Summer, you can expect the temperature to go between 6 and 20 degrees. In Winter, the weather is very cold and sometimes borders on icy cold.
Explore Wellington in your VroomVroomVroom hire car. Find the Bucket Fountain on Cuba Mall and then learn about its connection to Hollywood. (You will never look at "The Hobbit" the same way again!)
For a star deal for your next car hire, see the team at VroomVroomVroom and you will save money and time.

PORTLAND, Ore. - Portland Timbers forward Bright Dike will miss a significant part of the Major League Soccer season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
The 26-year-old was injured in Tuesday's preseason match against Seattle. The Timbers said Friday that he will have surgery Monday.
Dike, who made his debut for Nigeria in a November exhibition against Venezuela, scored five goals in 12 MLS games last season. He missed much of the 2011 season after rupturing his right Achilles' tendon that February during a preseason game against the Ventura County Fusion.
Timbers forward Brent Richards had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Feb. 5 to repair a torn ACL and lateral meniscus tear and is expected to be sidelined for six months. He was hurt during training Jan. 26 in Portland.

Measure and dynamics of marriage squeezes: from baby boom to baby bust in Italy
AbstractSignificant changes in the propensity to marry, together with baby booms, busts and migrations shape the marriage market. Big changes in the level of fertility may affect, some decades later, the opportunities of marriage of eligible individuals, creating a marriage squeeze. Italy provides an interesting case study because since World War II, it has been characterised by alternate periods of declines and rises of the annual number of births an by their differential patterns between regions. In this paper we study the dynamics of the Italian marriage market (year 1969-1995) by using some indexes proposed by Schoen as well as two additional measures. The result of regional analysis also suggest that marriage squeeze has also been by international migratory movements. The recent and prolonged phase of steep fertility decline in Italy, together with the drop of international movements, suggests the possibility of a perspective increasing disadvantage of men in the marriage market.

Diversification Of Rural Tourism Trough Partnership Approaches In Eastern Europe Destination
AbstractThe societies of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) contain many and diverse rural cultures which present myriad opportunities for small-scale, high income, locally controlled tourism generation. The negative impact of political and economic change has often been significant in the region's rural areas. But with spatially and structurally dynamic mix of mass and specialist markets to target, there are increasing opportunities for rural attractions to act as a basic resource for tourism organized and sustained through locally owned small enterprises.

Impact of School Finance Reform on Resource Equalization and Academic Performance: Evidence from Michigan
AbstractMichigan radically altered its school finance system in 1994. The new plan, called Proposal A, significantly increased state aid to the lowest-spending school districts and limited future increases in spending in the highest-spending ones, abolishing local discretion over school spending. I investigate the impact of Proposal A on the distribution of resources and educational outcomes. I analyze the differential effects on the lowest-spending and the highest-spending districts, highlighting the role of local discretion, which has so far been neglected in the literature. I also provide important evidence on the effect of spending on academic performance. Proposal A was quite successful in reducing interdistrict spending disparities. There was also a significant positive effect on student performance in the lowest-spending districts as measured in state tests. However, the constraints on future increases in spending may have had a negative effect on student performance in the highest-spending districts. © 2011 Association for Education Finance and Policy

Select Route:
An aptly named chimney climb that doesn't get wider than about 18" for most of its length. Scramble up a few blocks and place the last of your pro for awhile before pulling into the very claustrophic chimney. If you wind up facing the wrong direction it's going to be a challenge to turn around. Friction your way up the smooth sides until you can stand up in an alcove. Plug some gear in the cracks and climb the right wall of the alcove on jugs to a tricky topout.
Uphill and left of the Exorcist, follow the trail up to the first tunnel and this chimney is on your right. To get back down, walk up and left then back down the trail through the tunnels.

Q: I've never understood sports. My friends are SOOOO into it but I just can't get excited. I really WANT to, though! How do I learn to like a team?
A: Look. You like TV shows, right?
Well. Sports are some of the BEST television ever. If you're into dramas like Game of Thrones, Soap Operas, MSNBC vs FOX type political back and forths or Reality Television…Sports is all that. It's the realest shit you gonna see. If you follow this guideline- you will be into sports just as deep as your friends (if not more so).
Pick A Sport.
I'm going to recommend Football (NFL) but you can choose any sport you like.
Football is the easiest to watch as most games are on Sunday and typically don't go longer than scheduled; so it's easy to fit them into your regular schedule.
Also- the start and stop nature of the game makes it easier for you to learn what is going on AND the basic rules are not that difficult.
PLUS…a new Football season is RIGHT around the corner so now is a good time to get in.
Pick A Team.
Doesn't matter which or the reason why you pick them- but you need to root for someone if you wanna "get" sports.
You can pick them because that's your hometown (which is popular) or because it's a place you would like to go.
You could pick a team because someone you don't like hates them- OR just because you like their uniforms.
I know someone who likes the Green Bay Packers because the team is actually owned by Green Bay.
So, It doesn't matter WHY you pick a team. Just pick one (though, if you pick a team SOLELY because they win a lot- people are going to think you're an asshole if they find out- silly but true).
Read About That Team
I know. I know! "I don't wanna read!"
Who are we kidding, though?
You read all those damn George R. Martin books. You read comic books. You read Facebook.
Read a little something about the team. Even a Wiki could work.
What you are looking for is the HISTORY of the team- This way you will understand the RIVALRY between the team you chose and their worst enemy…the same way you understand the bad blood between the Starks and the Lannisters.
If you wanna go REAL deep- there are plenty of books that chronicle the history of any team you can think of; AND they ARE interesting! So pick one up.
Watch A Doc.
So- you probably perused a Wiki and thought that was it…NOPE. Watch a documentary about the team you picked just to drill what you read about into your head.
Now, I KNOW some of you skipped 3. DO NOT SKIP 4! Watch a documentary on your team.
In fact- I challenge you to watch THIS documentary and see if at the end you don't understand how crazy rivalries can get:
Pick A Player(s) To Follow
All the teams have star players. And because they are star players you can learn a lot about them but don't limit yourself to that. Every player has a background and most are pretty interesting.
Once you find a player to like- you can have something else to root for like cheering on Iron Man when the Avengers throw down.
Fantasy and LIGHT gambling.
Okay. If you can't find a reason to root for a team by now- SURELY self interest will draw you in. The Fantasy version of your sport can be scary on the surface because you think everyone else knows what's going on and you don't- so you don't wanna look stupid in front of them.
But DIVE IN…most people DON'T know what the hell they are doing OR make biased decisions because they've fallen in love with a team already and can't root against any of their players…you won't have that handicap. You don't give a shit about anything but winning so you'll learn what's up quick.
BUT- if you don't wanna learn- and just want to root for a straight up and down win or loss on a team…put a bet on it. A LIGHT bet, dumbass! Sports- unlike reality television- IS REAL. So even when you THINK you know what's going to happen…it could totally NOT happen.
Never bet anything you aren't ready to lose.
And that's it. If you do these things, not only will you understand and enjoy sporting events- you will probably know more about them than you friends do. Now get out there and watch some damn sports with the rest of us, slacker.

Albany- If you find certain cold medications on the shelves, the store you're in is breaking the law.
Several stores we checked are complying with the new state law. They must keep medicines with pseudoephedrine as the only active ingredient locked up or behind the pharmacy counter.
You can't buy more than three boxes of cold medicine that contains any pseudoephedrine. The law is to help fight a methamphetamine epidemic. Drug agents may have to get involved in enforcing the law.
"We may do some operations just to make sure everybody's complying with it, not so much to see if anybody's just giving it out, but make sure everybody's in compliance and make sure the right items are behind the counter," said Major Bill Berry, commander of the Albany-Dougherty Drug Unit.
Pseudoephedrine is one of the main ingredients needed to make meth.
