Top athletes make rowing crew look easy, as they glide fragile-looking sculls effortlessly across the water. The reality: Rowing is a very demanding, full-body workout—the legs provide much of the power in the rower's stroke.
The basics: There are three ways that crew events are classified. First, the boats, or shells, can be either scullers or sweeps. In a scull, rowers have two oars, one in each hand on either side of the boat. In sweep-rowing, rowers use both hands on a single oar (and have a counterpart beside them to row on the other side of the boat).
Second, rowers can race alone (single scull), or in teams of two, four, or eight, plus a coxswain in some sweep boats. The coxswain, also called the cox, does not row. He or she sits at the back of the boat, facing the rowers and the direction the boat is traveling. The cox's job is to steer the boat and time the team's strokes.
Third, rowing events can be either lightweight or open. Lightweight men cannot weigh more than 160 pounds; the average weight in the entire boat must be 155 pounds or less. Lightweight women cannot weight more than 130 pounds; the average weight for the team cannot exceed 125 pounds.
Age kids can start: Typically between 12 and 14 years old, around 8th or 9th grade in the U.S. The shells used in rowing crew are made for adults, so younger kids are just too small to use them. Some smaller athletes start as coxswains and switch to rowing when they are taller.
Skills needed/used: Endurance, teamwork, coordination, balance (a single scull can be 26 feet long and less than one foot wide!).
Best for kids who are: Team-oriented, physically fit and willing to train hard.
Season/when played: Usually fall and spring.
Team or individual? Both. Rowers can compete in individual events (single scull) or in teams. When rowing as a team, athletes must coordinate their movements perfectly to get the best time.
Levels: Middle schools, high schools and colleges sponsor crew teams. These used to be limited to private schools and to the northeastern U.S. states, but more schools in the southeast, midwest, and west coast have begun adding teams. Interested teens can usually join rowing clubs, too, and USRowing sponsors America Rows, a program designed to help bring rowing to students who currently can't participate (due to lack of clubs or facilities).
Top-level rowers under 19 years old can participate in Junior Rowing events sponsored by USRowing or compete for spots on the national team. Junior races are usually 1500 meters long, while competitive and Olympic events are 2000 meters. Men and women compete separately.
Appropriate for kids with special needs: Yes. Adaptive rowing is a Paralympic sport, and adaptive rowing programs are available for rowers with physical disabilities, visual impairments, and intellectual disabilities.
Fitness factor: High. Rowing crew is a non-impact workout that uses all the major muscle groups. Rowers sit on a sliding seat which they push with their legs as they move their oars with their arms. Rowing crew also requires a strong core for balance.
Equipment: One big reason to join a club or team is to gain access to the shells (boats). Rowers wear team clothing—usually a tight-fitting "unisuit" for regattas. Sun protection (hats, sunglasses, sunscreen) is essential.
Costs: Joining a rowing club or even a school team can cost anywhere from $150 to over $1000 per season, depending on the athlete's level and needs (equipment storage, regatta fees, and so on). Lessons start at about $75 for a 6- to 8-week session and rise to as much as $250.
Time commitment required: Can be significant. School and club teams may practice almost daily in season, and continue with indoor workouts ("erging," or training on a stationary rower called an ergometer) in the off-season too.
Potential for injury: Medium. Drowning is also always a risk anytime an athlete is in or on the water. Reputable coaches, teams, clubs, and facilities will have rigorous safety procedures in place. Because rowers' weight is regulated (in lightweight events), unsafe weight control can be a problem. As with any sport, overuse injuries, sprains and strains (in this case, to the forearms, hands, and wrists because of the gripping action required to hold the oars) are possible. You can get a tip sheet on preventing rowing injuries from the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine.
How to find rowing clubs and teams:
- USRowing club finder
- Regatta Central club listings
- Regatta Central learn-to-row class listings
- USRowing camp directory
- Regatta Central camp listings
- row2k camp directory
Associations and governing bodies:
- USRowing
- Rowing Canada
- International Rowing Federation (Federation Internationale des Societes d'Aviron, or FISA)
If your child likes rowing crew, also try: Other water sports such as swimming, water polo, sailing, kayaking or canoeing, or outdoor endurance sports such as cross country running or skiing.

Blog Reader Aces 1Z0-211 General Ledger Fundamentals Exam
Please read his test taking experiences and tips below:
"2 days ago I took 1Z0-211 General Ledger Fundamentals and managed to clear the exam...
The exam was tougher than what I thought.
Most of the questions are scenario-based (around 90%).
So one should manage the time well because reading and understanding of scenarios will take some time.
Actually I could not attempt 5 question as I was out of time!
My suggestions for preparing for the exam:
1. Read the User Guide thoroughly
2. Tutor docs are very helpful for revision or recap"
Heartiest Congratulations to Satish and other blog readers who have aced the tests recently.
Once again a request to all readers, please share your test taking experiences and sample questions.

Celebrities on The Pole
Even celebrities are taking to the pole, pole dancing that is.
Pole dancing has been around a lot longer than you may think, in fact we have traced pole dancing to the American depression era, when a traveling fair would set up sides' shows in small tents surrounding the main tent.
One of the tents was set up for the erotic Hoochi Coochi dancers. The Hoochi Coochi dancers performed hip moments similar to the belly dancers and the bump and grind movements of burlesque dancers. Due to the small size of the tent and the large crowds of onlookers, the Hochi Coochi dancers would approach the tent pole and begin to dance with it. Eventually, tent poles evolved into dance poles and pole dancing was born.
In the US, UK and Australia, pole dancing is a popular exercise, as well as a form of entertainment, and its popularity is spreading to many parts of the world.
Pole dancing is evolving into a fun fitness workout routine, since it seems to be more fun than going through a vigorous workout schedule. Celebrities seem to be joining by the minute. Teri Hatcher of Desperate Housewives was on Oprah talking about the amazing benefits of pole dancing. Kim Kardashian, Tori Spelling, Paris Hilton, Jessica Alba and Jessica Simpson have been seen gliding around on a pole. In fact, Kim Kardashian, as well as many other celebrities, has a dance pole in her home
Many personal trainers know that pole dancing really helps strengthen the leg and thigh muscles and flatten and tighten your abs. The flexibility that comes with pole dancing is nothing to sneeze at.
Models take to the Pole to Display Leg Wear
Modeling fashions on a pole has even caught on with the early morning television shows.
On a recent UK – GMTV early morning television show focusing on leg wear, a leg wear model took to the pole instead of the runway to display the latest in leg wear and tights for the winter.
The models, wearing corsets and black mini skirts took to the pole, striking poses with both legs up in the air and spinning provocatively.
A GMTV spokeswoman said: "Pole-dancing is the latest keep fit craze and is great for upper body strength and toning so we thought it would be a fun way to illustrate these tights."
Pole Dancing is a fun, relatively inexpensive way to get in shape, get in touch with your sensuality and spice up your love life all in one.

Getting to Banff National Park
From the East:
The Calgary International Airport is serviced by a variety of international airlines and is located only 90-minutes (140 km/87 mi) from the Town of Banff (Banff National Park) down the TransCanada Highway (Hwy 1). From there, the Lake Louise Ski Area is a 45-minute drive away (time dependent on road conditions), again down the TransCanada Highway.
Transportation options to Banff include car rental, scheduled airport shuttles, chartered motorcoach (for groups) and rail. Access the ski area from Banff by driving your own vehicle or using one of the bus services listed above.

Blue Book® Suggested Retail Value
Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
Tell us what you think...
The community thinks...
Worth every penny by Joel from Old Bridge, N.J. on 05/23/2002. Trim: 2001 Infiniti G20 Touring, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: This car is solid, comfortable and very easy to control at any speed. I drive it almost 150 miles every day, and have found it to be a pleasure to drive on a major highway consistently. This is a beautiful car and would recommend it to anyone. As an added bonus, to be perfectly frank the ladies love it too.
Cons: The car only has 140 horsepower and weighs in excess of 3000 pounds, so don't expect to bury any Corvettes. The Bose audio system delivers excellent sound quality, but at highway speed with the sunroof open it's a little weak in the volume department.
Overall review: Overall a very good car, no major complaints.
Review ID: #276113 Is this review offensive?
Love my Infiniti G20t by J.C from NYC on 09/11/2008. Trim: 2001 Infiniti G20 Touring, Owned 4 years.
Pros: My G20t 5-speed has 140K miles on it. The gas mileage is great, especially now a days. Still runs like new. I have put little money to it, asides from the regular maintance. Love the interior,still looks like new. It handles great, both in rain and in snow. I will keep this car to the very end. The parts are mainly cheap...for a Nissan/Infini.
Cons: Cup holders are horrible. I am almost sure this part was an after thought. someone at infiniti paid a lot of attention to detail in the interior, but forgot to put functional cup holders in the front of the car. Could have a bit more HP, but let's not forget it's a 4-cyl.
Overall review: I will recommend this car to anyone that is looking to buy a G20. Not a bad car for an entry-level luxury, looks better than the 2001 Honda and Camry. Makes a great car for commuters, and a second car for a family. You will save on gas...full tank range anywhere from 350-400 miles.
Review ID: #532215 Is this review offensive?
G20T--Reliable, Affordable and Fun by G20 Addict from Texas on 06/15/2004. Trim: 2001 Infiniti G20 Touring, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: This vehicle is very stylish, fun and unbelievable reliable. The gas milage cannot be beat! It's a low maintenance vehicle for sure.
Cons: I wish it had better acceleration, especially with the A/C. The cup holders in the front could be better designed, but that's about all.
Overall review: This is the third G20 I have ever owned, and I love it. This is my second 2001 G20t and I can't think of a better car for the price, considering the options it has. No, it is not a Lexus IS300 or a BMW 3-series, but it does not carry their price tag either.
Review ID: #433455 Is this review offensive?
Buffy is a Sweet Ride by An MSN Autos Consumer on 11/03/2003. Trim: 2001 Infiniti G20 Luxury, Owned 2 years.
Pros: (No data provided)
Cons: (No data provided)
Overall review: I have loved my car since the second I strapped in. It is a durable reliable piece of machinery and I look great driving it. If you are in the market for a vehicle, I would thoroughly recommend this car. Aside from all of the things an individual looks for in a car, one of my favorite characteristics is that this car's sleek body makes it a nice ride for singles and its safety features make it perfect for a new family. I LOVE MY CAR!!!!!!!!!!
Review ID: #388852 Is this review offensive?
Luxury in a small package by South Florida on 12/14/2001. Trim: 2001 Infiniti G20 Luxury, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Easy to Drive. Very Comfortable
Cons: Bumpers scratch too easy.
Overall review: Excellent luxury car for price

I'm waaaaaayyyy behind on posting my art journal pages here on my blog, so instead of going back to the older ones, here's one I did the other day...
Sometimes life is hard...living life with people gets complicated! Boy, I could totally relate the other night to the "spinster" in the book I had been reading who lives a simple life way out in the boondocks since at that moment in time I thought about how nice it would be to be her and not have to compromise on decisions with my Husband or have to deal with all the stuff I have on my plate right now. But that's not real life for me. In real life I choose to deal with it and live in a family in good times and bad.
After dealing with all that STUFF and getting a chance to talk with my Husband, I decided to clear a path on my workbench so I could art a little bit. Art is therapy! And this is the page I came up with.
Here's some close-ups...
I used Stencil Girl stencils from May's kit on it along with my favorite DecoArts Americana paint colors (Desert Turquoise, Ice Blue, Hauser Dark Green, Houser Medium Green, Houser Light Green, Golden Straw, Pumpkin, Melon, Black), a bunch of scrap papers and even map pages from an old Thomas Guide map book. All the black outlines were done with a charcoal pencil and smudged out with water.
Sponsor: DecoArt
Here's the art journal pages I finished yesterday for another swap. I really like this one and wish it was in my own journal LOL!
I took a couple of "in progress" photos while things were drying so you could see the layers. Here's the fist layer...collaged papers...
Then I added some dripage and marks....
And then stuck a bird on it....
And stamped out a great saying...
Enjoy your weekend!
sponsor: DecoArt
I love a good stencil, so I've been adding a few Stencil Girl ones to my collection with their monthly kits. (disclaimer: I'm just a happy customer, they didn't pay me to write this blog post.) I used the 9" x 12" peacock stencil from the January 2014 kit for these postcards I made for a postcard swap.
Here's a close-up of it...
For the swap we needed to have a 6 word sentence that's a life memoir on it, so this was mine.
I used Golden's fluid acrylic in Iridescent Silver Fine with the stencil...the paint is pretty light unless you get it in the right light and then it shines. I love it! The background was done with my gelli plate and some DecoArts paints in Pink Bubblegum, Cinnamon Drop, Razzle Berry. I also finished the pieces off with my Faber Castell Big Brush Pens...I even used the black one for stamping since my regular black stamp pad is too dried out.
Ok, no more pink & hearts for a bit LOL! I got a little crazy about that this Valentine's season. ;)
Sponsors: DecoArts, Faber Castell
For Valentine's Day this year I thought it would be fun to make some Valentine Inspired Gelli Print papers to use in handmade cards. Here's the finished results...
I used my ScanNCut™ to create the cards...to create it I just took the heart shape, duplicated it, and then overlapped them slightly where the card's spine would be. Next I scanned in my gelli printed paper so that I could line up the cards and the painted part of the paper I wanted to use.
Here's how it looked when it was cut out...
Next, I just added some embellishments...
Quick and Easy AND cute! So easy that kids could even do it!
Sponsors: Brother International, DecoArt, Faber-Castel
Disclosure: I am a paid consultant for Brother International Corporation and have received a ScanNCut from Brother to evaluate. However, the opinions expressed are entirely my own and based on my use of the product.
Ahhhh. It's that time of year again...the time when all the arts and craft manufactures unveil all their new products for the year at the Craft and Hobby Association trade show.
This year I'm working in the Brother booth (#663) demoing the ScanNCut machine...stop by and say hi if you're there or for those of you at home who want to see the machine in action, check out my YouTube videos or some of my ScanNCut projects blogged about so far...and as always, if you have any questions about the machine, CHA, or crafty things feel free to ask!
Happy New Year friends!
2014! Can you believe it!!! It seems like yesterday was Y2K, LOL, and yet here we are. Well, with the start of the new year comes about a million different crafty, scrapbooking, or mixed media ideas and classes and I've heard a lot of great things about The Documented Life project, and I love all the things I've seen people do so far, but the "problem" with it for me is that I already scrapbook Project Life and I keep my calendars and to-do lists digitally so, for me, it doesn't really have a place. BUT, like any great idea, I've altered it! I decided to grab a big 8.5" x 11"ish calendar book instead of a moleskin and use that. And instead of recording my to-do's, schedule, and appointments I'm recording my gratitude, blessings, and notes from my quiet time with God.
I made a quick video on how it will work...
Here's what I have finished so far...
In the monthly calendar section I'll record my daily gratitude.
And add some doodling and artsy stuff as the month goes on. Here's just a start of what I have...
Each month has a "notes" section that I'll journal something in. Here's this month's...
My One Little Word for this year is "joy"...joy in the good and the bad through my relationship with Jesus.
I will post photos of how this project/my life is going through out the year. I think I'll label them "soul journal" so you can click over ---------> there in the categories and find it if you need to.
Hey guess what Faber-Castell Lovers! I'm so thrilled to be part of the guest design team and sharing a new project with you today on their blog!
I've been hoarding a few of these awesome little frames from Ikea for about a year now and finally I've gotten around to using one for some inspiration around my studio...here's the tutorial on how I used the Stamper's Big Brush Pens, PITT® Artist Pens, some Art GRIP® Aquarelle Watercolor Pencils, and Unity Stamp Co rubber stamps to make this project.
Supplies: Green & Yellow Mixed Media Aquarelles and Ink sets; Art GRIP® Aquarelle Watercolor Pencils: 147, 124, 126, 123; PITT® Artist Pens: Pink Carmine 127; Stamper's Big Brush Pen: Black 199; White Cardstock - Stampin Up!; Frame - Ikea; Stamps - Unity Stamp Co.
Let me start off by thanking our military men and women, past and present, for the sacrifices they make along with their families. I have friends who's husbands serve and I see how hard it is on their wives and children and how strong all of them are while at home...frankly, I'm amazed at them all and I SO appreciate them for doing it. Thank you!!
Some of the Imaginisce Design Team have created Veteran's Day cards and we're sharing them today...check them all out HERE.
Here's my card. I think it's good for other occasions too...especially since I don't have anyone to give it to in my immediate family that is currently serving in the military. :)
I made the card using my Silhouette, and all the patterned papers are by Imaginisce. The base of the card was made with the shape "miss you like crazy card," and the stars with the "patriotic star three" shape. The stars cut out in three parts and I made them 3-D by using Imaginisce's colored foam adhesive in the center of the first and second layer of the stars.
Also I used part of an Imaginisce stamp to stamp onto the center white stars with gray ink...and then I used a ZIG pen to add some faux stitching to the edges of the stars as well.
Since the text cuts out attached to the card, I thought it might be a little fragile to stay like that so I backed it with some patterned paper leaving a little bit of a margin around it.
Thanks to US-Flag for the flag image!
Can you even tell this came from a scrapbook line that's geared for camping? Just wait until you see another project I did with it! I can't wait to show it with you.
I used one of my favorite stamp sets...the Studio AE May 2011 "Real Life" and Imaginisce's "Happy Camper" papers and bike die-cut. I had fun using my Silhouette to make the paper bow (shape: 3d ribbon bow) and the triangle boarder (shape: diamond circle border set).
Here's a close up of how cute that bow is. ;)
I love, love, love this photo of my 4 yr old niece and was so happy to finally get a chance to scrapbook it! It's almost all October Afternoon products used on it and I used Simple Scrapper's May sketch/template to create it.
Also used:
Imaginisce i-rock & rhinestuds
Studio G alphabet stamps
Thickers Fabric Stickers: Patchwork Ladybug

The Portland Trail Blazers, wounded as ever, pulled off a 108-93 home win over the L.A. Clippers on Thursday night. The Blazers were on the second night of a back-to-back, sweeping both games despite the loss earlier this week of Marcus Camby, the team's starting center.
The team already relied on stud power forward LaMarcus Aldridge a whole lot, but now he's been asked to play center quite a lot, or at least help with center duties as a guy like Dante Cunningham mans the position. But Aldridge has always seemed to do anything Portland has asked of him. Against Blake Griffin and the Clippers, Aldridge had 28 points and eight rebounds. Griffin shot just 6-17 as opponents continue to work to prevent him from assaulting the rim. But he finished with 20 points and 18 rebounds nonetheless.
This game was a peek into the battle All-Star reserve voters, also known as Western Conference coaches, will face in the coming weeks between Aldridge and Griffin. They've both played great, but unless Tim Duncan gets snubbed and depending on how much consideration Kevin Love gets, there's likely only one spot left in the frontcourt. Griffin's been more of a star this season, but Aldridge is one of the few things keeping the 24-20 Blazers afloat. It's a conundrum.
The forwards each had some wonderful backcourt help on Thursday, with Eric Gordon rattling off 35 points, 21 of which came on his 7-11 three-point shooting to keep L.A. in striking distance most of the night. On the other side, Wes Matthews scored 28 points on 10-18 shooting, while Andre Miller had seven assists. Portland's defense on everyone but Gordon was rather good; even without Camby, Portland was able to force L.A. to take shots it didn't want to.
Blazersedge really digs into Portland's defensive gameplan against Griffin and Gordon. Clips Nation reports that the Blazers did as well on Griffin defensively as anyone had in months.

Happy Thursday South Jersey!
We will go through the day staying mostly cloudy. We don't see the "weather" immediately but it is all around us and approaching as we go through tonight.
An arctic cold front will move southward through the day and begin to effect us as we go through the night. Simultaneously we will see two low pressure systems develop. One will move across the Appalachians and the second off the Carolina coast. Fortunately, for us here in South Jersey, we are what you called "dry slotted by these two eastward moving systems. As they merge further out to sea, and the cold air advances from the north the warm air will be lifted throughout tonight and tomorrow morning giving us a wintry, snowy scene. The word to describe the air advancing is bitter. A general estimate of snow totals is 3-5 inches for all of South Jersey. Further north, 6-10 is possible in northern and north central New Jersey.

Blood trail outside High Barnet McDonald's leads to search for assault victim
Updated 5:05pm Monday 31st March 2014 in News By Chris Hewett
Twitter was awash with rumours of a stabbing outside McDonald's but police say they are still working to establish how the blood got there
Police are searching for the victim of an apparent assault in High Barnet that left a trail of blood along the pavement.
Foxton's Estate Agents called police at 9.30am on Sunday after finding a large amount of blood up the glass window and on the pavement outside its shop in High Street.
Officers found a trail of blood spatter that led around the corner and subsequently sealed off the pavement between McDonald's restaurant and Moxon Street.
Barnet Police said CCTV in the area revealed an altercation between a group of men and a woman outside McDonalds at 2.15am on Sunday before they moved out of shot.
A large amount of blood staining remains on the chipboard front of a closed shop next to McDonalds this afternoon and in a dried pool on the pavement next door.
A trail is clearly visible around to Moxon Street, where a second dried pool of blood remains, as well as a small bit of police tape left from the cordon.
The pavement was sealed off for several hours yesterday and officers say the incident is being treated as a crime.
Twitter became awash with rumours of a stabbing in the area yesterday afternoon, but police say they are still working to establish how the blood got there.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on the non-emergency number 101.

Three days on and the thick sticky pool of blood remains on the pavement outside their doors. Children walk past, buggies have been inadvertently pushed through it - they are quite happy for it to remain there and do nothing about it! Astonishing!
McDonalds clearly accept no responsibility and show no apology for attracting the violent crime in the first place and Foxtons pretend to be oblivious to the world outside their door.
I cannot believe neither possess a bucket, mop and disinfectant.

A study at Brigham and Women's Hospital has found that breastfeeding may protect women from Rheumatoid Arthritis. Researchers analyzed the hormonal and reproductive factors in 80,000 women for 24 years. They found the longer a woman breastfed her children, the less likely she was to develop Rheumatoid Arthritis later in life. Since Rheumatoid Arthritis occurs more often in women than men, researchers have long suspected some hormonal connection. But even with the results of this study, they still can not explain why breastfeeding may help protect women from Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Rheumatoid Arthritis occurs when the immune system malfunctions and attacks the joints causing inflammation and pain. Over time, the condition erodes bone and soft tissue within the joints. The two years of breastfeeding was a cumulative total. Those who breast fed two years or more cumulatively had less than half the risk of developing the disease than women who did so for three months or less. The study also suggested childbearing may help protect against Rheumatoid Arthritis. It showed mothers were less likely than women without children to develop it.

The Broncos are used to playing big games by now, so BSU's 2011 tilt with the Bulldogs isn't nearly on a par with Boise State's 2005 visit to Sanford Stadium in terms of the program's now well-established national prestige, but a win by the boys in blue over the Red and Black on September 3 could be huge for the MWC's BCS chances. Go 'Dawgs!
Earlier this week, Jeremy Mauss from Mountain West Connection was nice enough to answer some questions for us on the Cougars. Today, I returned the favor over at MWConnection. Check it out.
Both the C-USA and the MWC just released statements confirming that the league's Commissioners met Thursday night in Colorado Spring, Co. Here is the full text of the official statement just released by Conference USA: "The conferences have much in common and have worked cooperatively for many years and we are exploring creative ways to work together going forward. The discussion included scheduling, television, and post-season football. It is premature for anyone to suggest anything else at this point. We have the strong support of our members as we work on a variety of strategic initiatives. We had a good discussion yesterday and likely will have more in the future." UPDATE: The Mountain West also just released a statement via their official blog. Here is is: "Followed up on various media reports regarding a potential Mountain West Conference-Conference USA merger, and confirmed that representatives of both leagues did indeed meet yesterday in Colorado Springs. Included were Commissioner Craig Thompson, Commissioner Britton Banowsky (who have a long-standing personal and professional relationship), and a couple MWC Athletics Directors. The informal gathering, which was previously scheduled, covered a wide range of topics, including concepts regarding television, scheduling and the BCS. Yet another example of the Mountain West's ongoing strategic thinking on a number of fronts, as the league continues to position itself in the national landscape."
Worth the read. A brief and completely thorough summary of the MWC summer.
First, this was discussed by Redhawk, Miner Mike and others in the comments here, but now Houston's Rivals site, Cougarsden.com, is now discussing it. It this possible? I think its only natural for the two leagues to consider it. I figured the C-USA would make a move for the MWC castoffs, but this may have been the plan of attack. The Question is, with the MWC now at 11 teams (with BYU) and the C-USA at 12, who gets into the new league? UTEP is a natural geographic fit that has history with the Texas schools and the old WAC schools. You'd figure the teams furthest East would be cut out- but this is probably all just crazy talk anyway, right? CBS Sports Dennis Dodd also adds that he "knows for a fact that UTEP doesn't want to lean West for it's fans sake. It likes being in the Mountain and Central Time Zone." Under the "Super" scenario, the Miners of course would stay aligned with Houston, Rice, etc.
Oh its true its damn true. GO BRONCOS!!
Doc Saturday hit this one on the head, analyzing some numbers that the MWC's lobbyist produced. Essentially, the WAC and MWC champs that have made BCS bowls have delivered higher TV ratings and larger in-person attendance than the Big East and ACC champs over the 2007-10 BCS games. The problem then is that the Big East and ACC get more money for it than the conferences that are better delivering ratings and ticket sales. I have to say, this is one that's always got me. Why is it that those who want to revoke the Big East's BCS auto-bid never talk about the ACC as well? The Big East (6-6 in BCS games) actually wins these games with regularity (ACC: 2-10), and bowl ratings in recent years have confirmed that FSU and Miami are the only ACC teams the nation as a whole cares about. When either of them win the conference, they'll get a bid. No need to force Wake Forest in the Orange Bowl on the rest of us to ensure that those two get their completely inevitable piece of the pie.

Last fall was a memorable trip to Texas Motor Speedway for Trevor Bayne, as the then-20-year-old driver scored his first career NASCAR Nationwide Series win.
But when NASCAR's junior series returns to the Lone Star State for its annual spring event this weekend, Bayne won't get a chance to pull off the Texas two-step and win his second consecutive race on the 1.5-mile oval.
Due to a lack of sponsorship, Bayne's Roush Fenway Racing team has withdrawn its entry for Friday night's running of the O'Reilly Auto Parts 300.
As such, a promising young driver – who has shown he can not only contend with the sport's best but beat them – has become nothing but a bystander.
Finding fault as to why Bayne's career is stuck neutral at a time when he should be on fast track to superstardom is not easy. And to be honest, there is no one thing or party to blame.
More than anything, Bayne is just a victim of bad timing.
Ten years ago, he would have had companies backing up trucks full of money to sponsor him after his out-of-nowhere win in the Daytona 500. But in a struggling economy with companies still not embracing NASCAR with the same ferocity as they used to, that is simply no longer the case.
To his credit, Bayne's car owner Jack Roush has done everything he can to solicit sponsorship for Bayne – up to and including funding the No. 60 team out of his team's own pocket so that Bayne could run the first five Nationwide races of the year in an effort to stimulate support.
However, to continue to do so over the long haul is an expensive proposition; an owner can only be expected to foot the bill for so long.
Despite starting off the 2012 season strongly with one top-five and three top-10 finishes in five starts – and sitting a respectable fourth in the Nationwide Series standings – it still wasn't enough. Sponsorship couldn't be drummed up, and consequently Bayne will be on the sidelines this weekend, watching instead of competing.
Unfortunately, Bayne's plight isn't an uncommon one and isn't limited to just young, up-and-coming drivers trying to establish a footing in NASCAR.
Kenny Wallace, a nine-time Nationwide Series winner and a veteran who has started more than 500 series races (and just last year finished an impressive seventh in the year-end standings driving for a underfunded one-car team), also lost his ride this week due to a lack of funding.
Unlike Bayne, Wallace's RAB Racing team will be racing in Texas – except with a driver (Ryan Truex) who was able to bring a sponsor along with him.
"I love my team RAB Racing, but I must step aside this week so another driver who has a sponsor can help our team continue," Wallace tweeted Monday.
Sadly, it's become an all-too-familiar story in NASCAR; where talent and moxie regularly give way to those who can cut the biggest check.
All Bayne and Wallace can do now is hope for the best while knowing unless they magically win the lottery, there is nothing they can really do.

Pensioner dies after fall in hospital
Updated 6:57pm Tuesday 26th February 2013 in News By Janet Gleeson
AN 80 year old woman died after a fall when she was being treated at the Friarage Hospital in Northallerton for leg ulcers.
An inquest was told 80-year-old Alma Walker from Westholme Crescent, Masham died from pneumonia and other complications from the fall along with pre existing medical conditions.
North Yorkshire East Coroner Michael Oakley was told her family had said she was disorientated when she went into hospital, but she was seen walking freely around the ward.
Staff nurse Mary Pickersgill told the hearing she had seen Mrs Walker at the door of her room looking unsteady, but as she tried to go towards her she collapsed backwards. She was taken to James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough for treatment before being taken back to the Friarage where she later died.
The coroner recorded a verdict of accidental death.

Using "alt" tags on your images will help ensure high search engine results. Alt tags are basically a substitute for the image. This text is used if a visitor has chosen not to allow images. The takeaway message from this paragraph is that Google looks for keywords in alt tags, just like any other text content on your page. Be certain your server is enabled to detect upper or lower case letters on URLs. If your server isn't configured properly to be case sensitive, it's possible that your link juice will be damaged by spiders improperly indexing your site.
If you don't know how to optimize your website content, then work with a company who specializes in SEO services. This marketing plan will ensure that your site will be near the top of all relevant search results.
Do not repeat anything you have on your webpage, or you will be punished and it will lessen your ranking. Rather than repeating content, come up with a new idea to discuss what will draw in new visitors. You can try making a robot. txt file that gets added into your own root directory. That stops search engines from crawling certain files. Honest and accurate description tags are essential to draw visitors from search engines to your website. This will help improve your SEO. While the tag is important, excessive length is a bad thing. Limit the tag to a concise 30 words. You should never go higher than 100 KB on the page.
Remember to track all of your results, especially your standings with search engines. Monitor your standings to see how your SEO is going.
Bring your search engine to its full potential by making it have defined parameters. Use definite commands that will give you the most results for whatever you are looking for when you are optimizing a search. The world of podcasts is also something you should consider. Video and audio podcasts may be streamed live, and they are best when they contain valuable and timely information the consumer. Take advantage of the current popularity of pod casts by video taping or voice recording a marketing message. You can then submit your podcasts to major search engines with descriptions of your content. When you choose to use a SEO to do marketing, you should ask questions about what they do. Ask solid and direct questions about their results, their success in SEO promotion, their best practices and most importantly, ask how long before you start seeing results. Ask to see examples of previous work and to talk with some of their clients. Former clients can give you an honest idea of the company.
An easy way to boost your page ranking immediately is to buy a previously owned domain name that already has a good reputation. Any search engine will give priority to domain names that have been around for over two years.
There are a multitude of ways you can optimize your site for search engines. Having the best possible search engine optimization is important for drawing in more traffic. In addition, the better that it works, the more pleased your users will be.
Search Engines
You'll improve your rankings on search engines this way. The meta description appears right under the website link in many search engines, so use this text to grab a potential customer's attention. If you use a template for your website, you should be able to change the meta description very easily. Provide transcripts for video and audio content that you post to your site. When you have a transcript a search engine will pick that up too. It can be helpful for the owner or boss of a company to be active in providing content like blogs for the company website. People like hearing from the big guy himself. The choice is yours whether or not you list your site on link directories, but if you do choose this path, you must only select sites which are topical and highly respected. A few directories have tons of outdated, badly designed sites. Always be mindful of which people you use as affiliates.
Search Engine
Search engine optimization takes time and you might be slow to see results. You will, of course, want to see all of your efforts pay off. You must understand that creating a solid web presence requires hard work and dedication. It is imperative that you stay with the process for a sufficient amount of time, and don't abandon it when it looks like nothing is changing with your site. Your patience will be rewarded in the future when you see your website search engine rankings improve. It is essential to use search engines to help potential buyers find your website. Making your website spider friendly will produce fantastic results. Search engine spiders are only able to analyze text; therefore, all images and video on your site should be tagged with text. Each description should include generous use of keywords.
Search Engines
Successfully optimizing your site for search engines may seem intimidating, but as this article has shown you, it doesn't have to be difficult. Knowing the few basic principles that determine how the search engines work, can help you tweak your site to attract more visitors than ever. Before you know it, you'll have a slew of new customers.

Howard Dean: Tea Party 'Not Playing With Full Deck'
Bulletin from the Bureau of Pot-Meet-Kettle: Howard Dean has declared that Tea Party Americans "are not playing with a full deck." This not merely from the man who made The Scream famous, but who in the very same segment today had a manic tongue-sticking-out moment [see screen grab] that might have scared pets and small children.
Dean also managed to get into a spirited fight with Michael Steele over Obama's 2012 prospects. Dean claims to see an Obama transformed, a candidate "on fire" who is on course to win. Steele soberly poured the water of the 9.1% unemployment rate on Obama's fire. Video after the jump.
Watch the video and remember why in 2004 even Democrats ran away from this guy.
HOWARD DEAN: I think Romney has a problem, though. He's by far the best-known candidate in the race, and he's at 17% in the polls. That's not so good. If he gets the nomination, and I think the odds now are very heavily that he will, he's got a big base problem. And usually that's not a problem. Republicans are very disciplined, they'll pull in behind him. Actually, even the Democrats pull in behind after a fight like this. This year you have the Tea Party. They are not playing with a full deck. I mean, they could go off the rails here. This is going to be really interesting. They might sit home, or vote for somebody else, or find a Libertarian, or Ron Paul might do something. Who knows.
Morning Joe then played a clip of President Obama on the stump in which he called out Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor by name for blocking a vote on Obama's "Jobs Bill." Obama's aggressiveness excited Dean. Dean, after dismissing Cantor's response: "it doesn't matter what Cantor said," continued.
DEAN: The President is in full campaign mode. He is on fire. Look at the guy. I haven't seen him put four weeks together like this. It's unbelievable . . . This guy's on fire. He just needs to do this for another 13 weeks, 13 months, and we are in.
MICHAEL STEELE: Let's put a little water on that fire: it's called 9.1% unemployment and it's called an economy that even the president's economic advisers are publicly stating is not doing well. The president himself has said gee, you're not better off today than you were four years ago. So there's a lot, there's a lot of water out there that's surrounding that flame.
DEAN: The Republicans are branded as obstructionists, and they do not care about ordinary people. That's what the polls show ---
STEELE: Excuse me. Howard, Howard, OK, that's not what the polls show.
DEAN: Will Barack Obama fight for the middle class? And if he does, he's going to win. And I think he's going to win this election. You heard it here on Morning Joe!
STEELE: On its face, Howard, you are flatly wrong.
DEAN: That's what the numbers show. Look, the Republicans are at 12%, Michael! 12%!!
STEELE: I don't--whatever--the numbers mean nothing. The only number that matters is what happens at the voting booth on November 10th. November of last, of 2010, tells that what you're saying is absolutely wrong. If that were the case for the last three years, then you would not be seeing the American people flatly reject the policies of this president in November of last year.
DEAN: We're seeing a different president than we've seen for the last three years.
STEELE: Oh yeah? Really?
DEAN: Yeah, really.
STEEELE: OK, we'll see about that, because the numbers don't show that.
DEAN: You know what I forgot? A dinner at Godfather's Pizza if Obama doesn't win. I'll pay. [Sticks out tongue.]
MICHAEL: You got it, baby. Bring your wallet.

This is still 2011; Why is Obama a campaigner "on fire"?
Submitted by TheHistorian on Wed, 10/05/2011 - 8:31am.
President Obama was inaugurated in January, 2009. Since then, he has not appeared to stop campaigning. He is now, with the election over one year away (remember, he has no primaries) out collecting money and campaigning actively. Meanwhile, unemployment is horrible, especially for his most staunch supporters (blacks) and the nation is continuing to run from one continuing resolution to another. Fast and Furious, the NLRB, the EPA are all symptomatic of his mismanagement of the Federal government. His poor ratings reflect his lousy job.
Tell this fool to go home and do his job. Tell Howard Dean to shove it, that this fool should not be out on the campaign trail until he has a contender. Then there will be lots of time to campaign and to build war chests.
It is time that Congress quits worrying about the President and forces him to do his job. However, he has over 50 enabelers in the Senate, so that is highly unlikely.

I guess that just meant for the Republicans!
At least Dean is admitting Obama is in full campaign mode. Liberal pundits have been trying to avoid saying that. I've been watching them stumbling over what to call this latest trip of his.
The funniest one was (paraphrasing) as he's out on the....uh.....trail.

Howard Dean frequents the Beltway-chatter circuit and offers political commentary.
But let's not forget that this guy went from Democratic frontrunner to folding up the campaign tent in a matter of weeks. He had been touted as a new kind of candidate, using the Internet to solicit donations. TIME even put him on the cover.
And then just like that, his candidacy disappeared like a popped balloon.
So, how good is Dean's advice?
Dean thinks that the burning Obama will be unbeatable if he keeps talking like he has, even while polls consistent point to diminishing support for Obama's Presidency. We've heard all the talk before, but now we know that the man doesn't live up to his billing.
And many Democrats are openly conceding that.

I tried to stay awake and watch until all picks were made, but I was unable to do it. However in checking out the list of draftees, I found that one person was missing: Josh Heytvelt.
Jake wrote an excellent article on the man and Truth even mentioned it in the draft thread as a possible pick if DeJuan Blair was not available at 32. He even had a workout with Wizards' brass. We know how the pick went, however now that he's an undrafted free agent... how would everyone feel with an invitation to the Summer League? Do you think he'd fit into our plans?

At the beginning of the year, things weren't looking so hot -- as far as ticket sales were concerned -- for the historic UFC 157 pay-per-view (PPV) event, which is set to go down this weekend (Feb. 23, 2013) from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
Back on Jan. 3, estimated ticket sales for the first-ever UFC women's title fight between current bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey and Liz Carmouche were around 5,000.
The numbers, at that point in time, weren't looking promising, considering the Honda Center can accommodate over 18,000 fans. But, according to UFC President Dana White, the event is just about sold out with only a few "cheap seats" remaining to reach the goal.
He revealed the numbers at yesterday's (Feb. 21, 2013) UFC 157 press conference:
"We're a few hundred tickets from a sellout. And, the gate is so big because the tickets remaining are all the cheap seats, which is very unusual. Usually we get in these situations and it's more the middle tier seats that are still there. These are the cheapest seats in the place. This is going to be a sellout."
No trouble in paradise here as it seems all the media attention Rousey has garnered for her first title defense is apparently paying off at the bank, topping the UFC on FOX 1 gate which hosted a heavyweight title fight between Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez. But will the PPV numbers be on par, too?
According to White, it sure looks that way:
"This is without a doubt the most media attention we've ever had before a fight. And when I am talking about media attention, I'm talking big time media. This gate beat the gate last time we were here when we had the heavyweight championship between Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos. I know there was a lot of smack talk initially when I announced this fight with headlining two women, well, this gate is bigger. There is all this talk about pay-per-view buys and how women would do, I just talked to Lorenzo and this fight is trending very well. So, to all the naysayers who said this and that about two women headlining a fight, I won't be rude, but, you know what I usually say about this.
UFC 157 will also feature a light heavyweight showdown between two seasoned veterans as Lyoto Machida takes on Dan Henderson in the co-main event for a shot at the promotion's 205-pound title.
How about it Maniacs, are any of you adding to the live gate total or PPV buys for this historic event?

In looking at the current state of team-building in the NBA, it is clear that the idea for most teams is to follow the path taken by the Rockets without ending up like the Mavericks. The Hawks, as they stand, will be competitive, and with good health, will be a playoff team in the East. The hope is that if they're in the arena enough times, and have enough desirable assets on hand, the Hawks can become Rockets East. They're a team that, on paper, should not experience a very big drop-off from last year. But when it comes time for Ferry to pick up the phone and gauge the trade and free-agent markets, the Hawks will be in a much better position to make a franchise-changing blockbuster move.
I definitely agree with this strategy for a rebuild. Prep for the future without becoming completely terrible. And with the new CBA, there should be more and more young players that get cast aside due to the economics of it all. It's funny, we have a really good supporting cast, we just need an All Star SF or Center to make us a contender. Hopefully, we end up with the bargaining chips to acquire one

(Click here to read the full release from Harris Corporation.)
QUINCY, IL (WGEM) – The future of hundreds of area employees is in question Tuesday as Harris Corporation, a longtime Quincy business, is getting out of broadcasting.
"Harris Corporation as announced today to the market and its employees has decided to divest itself of its broadcast division," said Chris Parsons, Vice President of Global Operations for Harris. "Harris is selling its broadcast division because it does not fit with the rest of the company's operations."
Terri Black, a Harris public relations official, says that the entire broadcast division of Harris, including the Quincy facility, will be sold. The facility will continue to operate until the sale is complete, but the new owners could do whatever they want to the facility and the rest of the broadcast division.
"Its business as usual for now," Parsons said.
Parsons added that "there are already interested parties" in purchasing the broadcast division and that "the Harris broadcast division is sound."
Revenue for the Integrated Network Solutions has been declining since last year because of a low demand in North America.
Harris' Quincy facility manufactures radio and TV equipment. But for the nearly 300 people who work here, the decision to sell leaves a lot up in the air.
Quincy Mayor John Spring plans to hold a 3:30 p.m. news conference regarding the Harris Corporation announcement.

Willis Singleton headstone with wife Martha
In reviewing my messages, I don't think I ever thanked you for the lovely full shot of the headstone of my husband's gg-granduncle, Willis Singleton, and his wife Martha.
I profusely apologize for not thanking you earlier, but my husband and I thank you sincerely.
It's folks like you that make this web site so wonderful.

Special Thanks !
Greetings !
Sending you VERY special thanks for photographing the old tombstone of Alfred B. Wooters in Marion County, Illinois. I'm so pleased that the tombstone is still standing and that you were able to identify it and photograph it. You did an outstanding job and I appreciate your kindness.
Thank you for what you are doing to preserve history through findagrave.com !
In your honor, I will volunteer this weekend at the historical museum as a way of "paying it forward" and helping others with history.
Continued success in your good work !
With sincere thankfulness to you,
