Since Groton's founding in 1884, rowing has been a prominent sport. Girls began to row as soon as the school became coed in 1976. Groton rows in 4 person shells with a coxswain to steer the boat and give commands. We generally have eight boats of girls for a team of 40 girls (Varsity and JV). Groton girls crew has had consistent success in our dual races and at Championships.
Groton competes in the New England Interscholastic Rowing Association (NEIRA) along with over twenty-five other schools, among them Middlesex, St. Marks, Belmont Hill, Brooks, BB&N, Nobles and Greenough, Deerfield, Choate, Winsor, Greenwich Academy, and Miss Porter's. Rowing at Groton is a spring sport that begins with preseason practice in mid-March and ends with the NEIRA Championships on Lake Quinsigamond in Worcester at the end of May.
On Wednesday, March 25th, 2015, the season will begin with a week of preseason training. Two-a-day sessions on the Nashua River and an afternoon trip to Harvard's indoor rowing tanks and stadium will set the pace for a rewarding, eventful and successful season.

Frequently Asked Questions
I've heard that Groton is really good in crew.
Over the past fifteen years, Groton has had one of the best crew programs in the country. We are a perennial contender for the New England championships (NEIRA) at Lake Quinsigamond in Worcester. Our crews have competed at the Henley Women's Regatta in England four times in the past ten years. Our boys program is also very strong; we support each other in practice and at races.
I've never rowed before. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Very few people have any experience rowing before they enter boarding school. Rowing here begins with teaching the basics, but very quickly a good, dedicated athlete will be racing. In most years, by the end of the season, some of the best novices will be in the varsity boats.
How do you learn to row?
We begin with some work on the indoor rowing machines (ergometers) to give a basic idea of the stroke. Then we spend about a week rowing in the Barge, a big stable boat that allows you to row without worrying about balance. A few days in an eight, and then you are into our racing boats, fours with coxswain.
What kind of person makes the best rower?
The most important qualities are an ability to push yourself, a sense of rhythm, and aerobic fitness. It is important to realize that rowing is a team sport, and that you must work very closely with four other people in your boat. It is often an advantage to be tall, but many of our most successful rowers have been under 5'8". If you have enjoyed competitive sports before high school, you will like rowing.
Remember, too, that crew has a unique position for smaller people: the
. A coxswain steers the boat, gives all of the commands on race day, and carries out the racing strategy. It is a great position for a competitive athlete who is not very big.
I've heard that it is hard work. Is it fun?
At a high level, rowing is hard work, like all sports. But it is also a great deal of fun. The feeling of being in a fast boat is indescribably wonderful. The teamwork is great. We look forward to getting out on the water all year long.
What kinds of boats do you have?
Like most of the other small schools, Groton rows in fours with coxswain. Fours are very sensitive to balance, and they give you a great way of learning to row very well. We have nine fours and two eights that we use. We are very lucky to have excellent support from our parents and alumni/alumnae. They have allowed us to own the best boats in the world, Empachers and Resolutes. We also have Vespolis and Schoenbrods that the newer rowers use.
Where do you row?
We row on campus. To get to Bingham Boathouse, you take a short walk down a scenic dirt road. The Nashua River is a beautiful and narrow river that is very protected from spring breezes. We have near-perfect rowing conditions every day. Although the Boathouse is very close, many rowers say that "it feels like it is off-campus," and is an escape from the everyday world of school.
Have any Groton girls continued on to row in college?
Crew offers a great chance to learn a sport that you can continue in your college years. We have had graduates row at most of the major rowing colleges in the country. Sarah Black '12 won the 2014 NCAA D3 championships at Trinity College, Faith Richardson '11 rowed on two Junior US teams ('09 & '10) and rows on Princeton's Varsity Open eight. Julia May '10 has been a part of three NCAA D3 championships at Williams College. Alexandra Morss '09 was captain of the Princeton lightweights and represented the USA at the U23 championships in Austria in a double scull. Carmel Zahran '04 and Amory Minot '05 both rowed for Trinity College in their varsity eight that won the NCAA division 3 national championships in 2006 and 2008. There are or have been Groton girls rowing at Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Brown, Dartmouth, and the University of Virginia recently.
Give rowing a try! We encourage you to be in touch with the coaches or the captains, Olivia Ladd-Luthringshauser and Caroline Morss.

Madison Police say a local outdoorsman lost all of his bow hunting gear after a thief got into his pickup truck over the weekend.
The 34-year-old man's truck was parked outside of his home in the 1000 block of Moorland Rd.
The gear, estimated to be worth more than $3,200, was in the backseat.
The man believes he may have left the truck unlocked Saturday. He thinks the gear was taken that night.
A high-end hunting bow, a tree stand, range finder, binoculars, head lamp and other items were taken.

The Importance of Cardiorespiratory Fitness: The Need for a National Registry
Updated:Jan 8,2013
The Importance of Cardiorespiratory Fitness:
The Need for a National Registry
Data show that patients with low fitness have higher risk for all-cause mortality and CVD mortality.
This paper blends policy and science to highlight the importance of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in assessing the health status of the U.S. population and defines the need for a national data registry.
A CRF registry would serve as a catalyst for new research and public policy initiatives.

Can you believe Easter is almost upon us? 2013 is seriously flying by at breakneck speed.
Today, the gang at Sunday Supper is celebrating the season with recipes for Passover and Easter. I decided to contribute with a little recipe that is fun for the entire family to get involved with. My mother in law actually told me about the recipe, and since I had the components already in my kitchen, it was a no-brainer!
These painted sugar cookies are a fun DIY project, and an alternative (or added) project to dying Easter eggs. All they take are a few simple ingredients, and you're ready to get the creativity flowing!
First: sugar cookie dough. You can make your own cutout cookie dough, or if you're like me and feel like cheating you can always buy one of the bagged mixes that you simply add an egg and butter to. It's up to you. Today, I took a shortcut, but added a few drops of almond extract for extra flavor in the dough. No shame.
Roll out the sugar cookie dough and cut it into fun shapes. If you don't happen to have an egg shaped cutter and are looking to make egg shapes, you can always use a circle cutter (or…a drinking glass rim) and gently mold the sides to an egg shape. That's what I did with the egg shaped cookies in this batch, and although they weren't 100% uniform in shape, I think they turned out pretty well.
The fun part is the painting, of course! Make sure to thoroughly wash any paintbrushes before using them on the cookies…or simply purchase a brand new pack. I found a pack of 24 brushes at the dollar store and those worked just fine for me! Have fun creating various paint colors with food dye. I am particularly fond of the neon food coloring pack I bought – the colors turn out really vibrant and fun. The egg yolk paint gives the cookies a nice sheen – so pretty! And another great thing is that one color "batch" of paint goes a really long way. You only need to make one "batch" per color you want to use, unless you're making mass quantities!
Once the cookies are painted and ready to go in the oven, wait with anticipation to see the final product! I also made these painted cookies with my Sweet Treats class, and our 3, 4, and 5 year olds really had fun seeing their beautiful creations. I actually think some of theirs turned out better than this batch that I made did! I don't claim to have amazing skills at cookie painting. Perhaps I need more practice…
Do you have any family traditions you take part in around Easter time? Dying Easter eggs? Making cookies? Having a family meal?
(For a single paint color)
1 egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon water
1 drop food coloring (more if needed for desired color)
1. Preheat oven according to sugar cookie dough baking instructions (I heated my oven to 360 degrees F).
2. Prepare sugar cookie dough, roll to about 1/4 inch thick on a floured surface, and cut with cookie cutters. Place cut cookies on a baking sheet.
3. To prepare the paint, separate one egg yolk into a small dish (I use ramekins). Add the water and a drop of food coloring of your choice. Stir thoroughly to incorporate, and add extra food coloring if needed to reach desired color. Repeat this process as needed until you have a color palette of egg yolk paint for the cookies.
4. Use clean paintbrushes to paint the top of the cut sugar cookies. Keep each paintbrush in one paint color's ramekin to not dilute/mix the colors.
5. Bake the cookies for 5-7 minutes. Keep an eye on them as they cook – when the cookies bake for too long or on heat too high, the paint will start to crack. Remove cookies from the oven and allow them to rest on the cookie sheet for 3-4 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.
6. Allow cookies to fully cool/dry before serving. Enjoy your creations!

Xenakis 11 Nov 2013 post a comment This morning's key headlines from GenerationalDynamics.com Massive Saudi Arabia migrant expulsion leads to violence Saudi Arabia's plans for Syria intervention face many obstacles Special negotiating tactics from Israel's chief negotiator, Tzipi Livni Massive Saudi Arabia migrant expulsion leads to violence Ethiopians await deportation in Riyadh (Reuters) Two people were killed on Saturday in clashes between police and African, mostly Ethiopian, migrant workers, in Riyadh, the capital city of Saudi Arabia. Police arrested 561 people, after a week in which thousands have been arrested. The clash follows a crackdown, begun last Monday, to expel hundreds of thousands of migrant workers who don't have valid work visas. Many entered the country illegally, often seeking a job as domestic work, others have expired work visas, and others were smuggled across the border. The reason given for the crackdown is to make available more jobs for Saudis. The crackdown will close numerous small businesses, such as laundries, barbershops, eateries and bankers, and remittances back to home countries will fall about 20%. [What's not clear to me is why the closing of all these businesses won't have a recessionary effect on the economy.] Gulf News and Arab News Saudi Arabia's plans for Syria intervention face many obstacles Following Saudi Arabia's nasty split with the United States -- following President Obama's public flip-flop on Syria, and the administration's new rapprochement with Saudi's arch-enemy Iran -- the Saudis are struggling to find a way to use their almost unlimited funds to do something to end the intolerable genocidal slaughter of innocent civilian Sunni Arabs by Syria's psychopathic president Bashar al-Assad, supported by Iran's Revolutionary Guards. The plan is for the Saudis to create and fund an Army of Muhammad, uniting the Sunni rebel groups. A year ago, this army would have had 7,000-10,000 soldiers, including 6,300 army defectors who had taken refuge in Jordan and Turkey. But with the collapse of any hope of support from the United States, the plans for the size of the rebel army has increased to 50,000, at a cost of "several billion dollars," growing to 250,000 by March, 2016. And while the Army of Muhammad would just have had to fight al-Assad's army a year ago, today it would be fighting against two enemies -- al-Assad's army and al-Qaeda linked jihadists. The Saudis are planning for cooperation from the Pakistanis, with whom they've shared defense ties for years. The Saudis would like Pakistani help in training its Army of Muhammad, as well as a few thousand troops. However, Pakistan's military is dealing with its own problems from the Taliban and jihadist violence, and is not anxious to get involved in a huge effort in Syria. Furthermore, the Saudi plan would require the cooperation of Jordan, and they're also put off by the size of the Saudi plan, since there would be a large Syrian rebel army on Jordan's soil. The biggest problem of all is getting the Saudi rebel groups to cooperate with one another. According to one analyst: "The biggest problem facing the Saudis now is the same one facing the U.S., France, and anyone else interested in helping the rebels: the fragmentation of the rebels into groups fighting each other for local and regional dominance rather than cooperating to overthrow Assad. Could the Saudis force [the rebel groups] to cooperate? I have my doubts." Foreign Policy and ISN Security Watch (Zurich) Special negotiating tactics from Israel's chief negotiator, Tzipi Livni Tzipi Livni A report last week in the Lebanon newspaper Al Diyyar says that Israel's chief negotiator, Tzipi Livni, has admitted having sex with Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat and PLO official Yasser Abed Rabbo. The story quotes a Rabbi as saying, "It was ok for her to sleep and have sex with strangers, as long as it benefits Israel." According to the Arab press, Livni has previously admitted that she doesn't mind killing or having sex with someone in exchange for information that could benefit Israel.

My Minecraft Testificate InfestationIn Minecraft there are these squidward like villagers called Testificates. In a recent update they were given new abilities such as having babies to repopulating a town based on the number of houses there are. Since the requirement for a "house" is simply a room with a roof and a door, I decided to spend my time building a massive city for the Testificates to populate, using a generated village as a starting point.After building a number of houses, I began noticing the little children running wild and there becoming quite a LOT of villagers. I undertook a huge task of building a BIG open area underground with a couple doors and lights. Because the area was so big, the Testificates began to... um... OVER populate.These little buggers reproduced the village so fast that I couldn't keep up and soon they were overflowing out of buildings. Mob attacks couldn't keep up with the rate they were repopulating, and the iron golems that kept spawning (for every 15 villager a new one spawns) made

George Walker (vaudeville)
George Walker (1872 or 1873 – 1911) was an African-American vaudevillian. In 1893, in San Francisco, Walker met Bert Williams, who became his performing partner. Walker and Williams appeared in The Gold Bug (1895), Clorindy (1897), The Policy Player (1899), Sons of Ham (1900), In Dahomey (1902), Abyssinia (1906), and Bandanna Land (1907). He was married to dancer and choreographer Ada Overton Walker.
Walker retired from performing after he fell ill during the run of Bandanna Land.
George Walker and Bert Williams[edit]
Two prominent figures of the minstrel era were Bert Williams and George Walker. When this duo appeared on the minstrel scene, they dubbed themselves the "Two Real Coons" at the Casino Theatre in New York City in 1896. The debut of Williams and Walker was considered to be significant to black comedy and black professional theatre because of their innovations, such as the hit musical comedy In Dahomey that toured Europe and the U.S., popularizing the cakewalk, and professionalizing black theatre by founding professional organizations for black entertainers.
In 1893, the famous duo of George Walker and Bert Williams was formed. The two met in San Francisco that year and formed a vaudeville act. Williams was very talented, with light skin and a fine voice, and he played all instruments very well. Under the expectations of the time, he would be considered the "straight man" in comedy routines. Walker was a great comedian and dancer, with dark skin, and would be expected to play the fool. The two realized that they were much funnier when they reversed their roles, so "...Walker became the straight man--dressed a little too high-style and spending all the money he could borrow or trick out of the lazy, careless, unlucky Williams--and Williams became the blumbery, sorrowful, comical-in-spite-of-himself patsy." Bert Williams's first ambitions were to attend Stanford University and become an engineer. Since he could not afford to go, he worked as a singing waiter in hotels in San Francisco. George Walker had performed in traveling medicine shows before ending up in San Francisco and joining up with Williams. Once they became organized, they needed a selling point to get their names out in the theatre world. Their act grew popular in West coast theatres, where the minstrel shows were now being called vaudeville.
At the same time, white duos were billing themselves as "coons." Williams and Walker decided to market themselves as the "Two Real Coons." In 1896, they appeared in a New York production called The Gold Bug at the Casino Theatre. It was a short run and the production did not receive good reviews, but then they were hired by another theatre for a record run of twenty-eight weeks; during that time, they popularized the cakewalk. This dance became very popular in high society in New York. Their next project was The Sons of Ham. Williams and Alex Rogers wrote a song for it called "I'm a Jonah Man", and the song became a trademark for Williams.
When Bert Williams and George Walker appeared on the scene, they wanted to change the dynamics of the theatre with their creative minds and talents. But, there were strict limits on the changes they wanted to make because white people were buying the theatre tickets, and they had to present to their standards. The cakewalk was rooted in West African festive dances commonly performed during harvest festivals. Couples would form a circle, promenade, prance with buckets of water on their heads to the sound of banjos playing, and clap their hands. The winning couple got the cake. When Williams and Walker worked with the cakewalk, "the dance had many variations and in some was apparently a slightly veiled comic parody of their masters' pretentious posturing and high falutin attitudes." After Williams and Walker introduced this dance into their act, the cakewalk started appearing in stage shows, exhibitions, contests, and ballrooms, but only open to the wealthy to middle class to lower class white communities. It eventually spread through the United States and over to Europe.
From 1893, when the two met, they always wanted to incorporate African themes and characters into American shows and planned to do it when they got an opportunity to do their own show. That opportunity came during In Dahomey. Williams and Walker teamed up with Will Marion Cook, Jesse Ship, and poet/lyricist Paul Laurence Dunbar to produce the musical comedy, In Dahomey, the first musical to open on Broadway written and performed entirely by African-Americans.[1] This musical comedy had all original music and had detailed scenery and props. It also had a complete story line from beginning to end. Some found it similar to the story lines of Bing Crosby and Bob Hope films. "The Crosby/Hope films may well have been inspired by Williams and Walker shows like 'In Dahomey'." This show generated so much success that it received great reviews over in London and it toured throughout the United States.
Williams and Walker worked very hard to produce quality theatre. They wanted their sets and costumes to be just as extravagant as those in the white theatres. They also had great lighting and elaborate props. Walker was the more business-savvy of the two and handled most of the management responsibilities of their productions. Walker's goal was to elevate the professionalism in black theatre, and to achieve this he founded an organization for African-American professional entertainers in 1908. It was a network for black entertainers to get together and socialize in order to get to know the other famous black entertainers and to start a support base. His organization, called the The_Frogs_(club), held events that included black acts, dining, and dancing, and encouraged young performers to achieve a standard of excellence in their stage work. After George Walker died, Williams had a hard time keeping the companies operating. By 1906, Williams and Walker were active in organizing an African-American actors' union called The Negro's Society. Two years later, the team produced and starred in two more successful plays, In Abyssinia and in their final show, Bandanna Land (1907), but George Walker fell ill and was forced to retire from show business in the middle of the 1908-1909 season.
While touring with Bandana Land in 1909, George Walker began to stutter and suffer memory loss, both well-known symptoms of syphilis. Over the next few years such notables as Ernest Hogan, Bob Cole, Scott Joplin, and Louis Chauvin would succumb to this same scourge. An incurable disease at the time, it hit the ranks of African-American performers so hard that by 1911, most of the small, close-knit group that had managed to bring their artistry to Broadway were dead, and it would be another eleven years before African-Americans returned to the stages of the Great White Way. Walker died on January 8, 1911 and was buried at Oak Hill Cemetery, in his hometown of Lawrence, Kansas.
After George Walker's death, Williams was approached by Florenz Ziegfeld to perform in the Follies. Williams agreed and signed a three-year contract. The white actors threatened to revolt because they did not want to perform onstage with a black actor, but changed their minds when Ziegfeld said he could replace any of them except for Williams because he was unique and talented. After his contract was up, he was such a big hit that he stayed on for three more years. By 1913, he gained success as a recording star and went to star in two short films, Fish and Natural Born Gamblers, in 1916. In 1920, he appeared in the Broadway Brevities of 1920, followed by Shuffle Along, in 1921, that reopened Broadway to black musicals. Then he worked hard to produce an all-black show called Under the Bamboo Tree, which was not a great success. His health began to fail him, and he died on March 4, 1922. He was a great comedian and may have been the first black superstar.

If it wasn't already set in stone, job listings for PS3 engineers at Bungie indicate the Halo developer's hard at work on its first title for Sony's console.
The Xbox specialist has previously said that it isn't scared of PS3 development, and a recently signed ten-year partnership with Activision to bring the studio's 'next big action game' IP to market gives it a chance to show us what it can do when it spreads its wings.
It has been rumoured that Bungie's new franchise will be a heavily online-focused affair, and Sony has welcomed the studio's move to multiplatform development, suggesting its new IP could become 'Halo on steroids' on PS3.

Mayor D. Venkatesh Murthy inaugurated the project by filling a pothole at Basaveshwara Circle here on Friday.
After exploring various technologies, debating the pros and cons of using hot mix and cold mix technologies to fill potholes, the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) is now trying yet another technology using cold mix on a pilot basis.
Mayor D. Venkatesh Murthy inaugurated the project by filling a pothole at Basaveshwara Circle here on Friday.
The new technology — Shelmac PR, an instant all-weather pothole repair solution, is a product of Shell Bitumen and is offered by Ladwa Safety Solutions Pvt. Ltd., an authorised franchisee.
After filling the pothole, Mr. Murthy told reporters potholes had appeared on most arterial and sub-arterial roads in the city following rain.
The pilot project would be implemented in the Shivajinagar constituency, especially around the Vidhana Soudha.
BBMP's Engineer-in-Chief B.T. Ramesh said Rs. 50 lakh had been released to fix potholes using the new cold mix technology offered by two companies, Shelmac PR and Hincol, a subsidiary of Hindustan Petroleum.
N.T. Rudrappa, manager (production), Ladwa Safety Solutions Pvt. Ltd., said the cold mix sets faster and the road can be opened to traffic immediately. Other than being resistant to water erosion, it also has high skid resistance. "The repair area requires no pre-treatment and needs only simple equipment such as hand brushes, shovels and rammers."
Traffic holdup
However, while the Mayor was busy filling the pothole, traffic was held up at the busy junction, especially affecting Racecourse Road and Palace Road.
After arriving 45 minutes late in the afternoon, the Mayor offered prayers to the pothole, the cold mix, the implements (shovels and others) before going ahead with filling the rut.
It didn't help matters that curious motorists slowed down to get a glimpse of the goings on.

This windproof field piece combines the natural insulating qualities of Merino wool with a water-repellent, windproof liner of 30-denier polyester. The warm cardigan, with its classic, traditional appearance, transitions easily from field use to in-town function.
The primary goal of our Sport Shop sizing is to achieve both freedom of movement and maximum function. Unlike oversized garments with excess fabric, our engineered patterns allow unrestricted arm movement—both up and forward—while also reducing bulk. Through extensive field testing we have discovered that this performance fit prevents interference when hunting and shooting. But if you still prefer a loose fitting shirt or jacket, please size up one size.

A comprehensive reference source for advertisers, publishers and media commentators, The BuzzCity Report provides a quarterly roundup of our activity in key markets, along with forecasts, features and analysis of new developments in the mobile internet.
In this report we cover the third quarter of 2014 during which our network delivered 83 billion paid ads.
Over the course of the year we delivered 244 billion ads, a growth of 24% from last year.
The report also features a survey on online video viewing. Among our audience, 84% watch videos online and three quarters (75%) use their phones for this. We note that the communal aspect of video sharing (16%) has rivalled, if not outpaced, the communal value of watching TV with family and friends (12%). But the report cautions that the only way to secure engagement with videos is to create content that people care about - and this though is not something than can quantified or measured.
We also report on how surfers view advertising and the media that influences them. Despite their mixed feelings towards ads in general, more than three quarters of mobile surfers rely on advertising to make purchasing decisions. While negative attitudes prevail (59%), consumers are generally well disposed to advertising (60%). We advise marketers to consider rich media or video formats to deliver emotion and engagement beyond the direct response of a banner.
