I was lazy this time and used someone else's template. Well, a chunk of it, since I'm incapable of using a template and not tearing it apart to change things. In this case, to make it readable (beyond the expansive white space), and to make it usable. Like, comments. Or not making blockquotes at 50% opacity.
What really bugs me is that it loads so slowly. It's not even a one-page app, but it's acting like jQuery on crutches with all the fading in/out. Sure, it's pretty but damn it feels like my server's dishing up at a snail's pace, and I happen to know my server's pretty speedy.
I've been meaning to play in php again, and I guess this gives me an excuse. Not quite like revisiting high school (considerably less drama) but just as nostalgic, in its own crazy way.

Early Goals Lead Eagles to Win over Knights
ST. PAUL - The MLC women's soccer team came up short in Thursday's game at Northwestern by the score of 2-1.
The Eagles scored twice in the first half, once in the 26th minute and once in the 31st minute, to take an early 2-0 lead.
Bethany Schultz was able to put the Knights on the board, scoring her fifth goal of the season unassisted in the 33rd minute of play on MLC's first shot of the game to cut the deficit to 2-1.
That lead would stand the rest of the game for Northwestern, as they peppered MLC goalkeeper Allison Snyder with 8 shots on goal, and outshot the Knights 19-2 in the game.
Miranda Pomije and Schultz accounted for the two shots by the Knights, both of which were on net.
With the loss, MLC dropped to 6-5-1 overall and 2-4-1 in the UMAC, while NWC improved to 9-4 overall and 7-1 in league play.
MLC will return to action on Saturday, October 15, when it travels to Crown College for a soccer double header starting at 12 p.m.

Submitted my resume at a career fair, which was then turned into HR.

At the end of the phone call they asked if I was interested in a group dinner and an office visit. I also had to take an online survey to see if I would fit into their culture. During the dinner, you meet up with current employees and other prospects. You split off into tables and eat. Then it is a night. Office visit was the following day and you tour the office, speak to employees, and sit through a presentation given by a principal.

I was contacted by phone to setup a phone interview and also to fill out a personality test. The test was fairly standard and consisted of several questions where I had to rank 10 random situations in the order of best to worst. It then took about one week until I was called in to interview with a Director and a Senior Consultant. It took another week or two to be contacted again and called in to meet with another Director and a Principal, where the Director used the results of my personality tests to ask me questions. All of the questions they asked were mostly behavioral and since this was for an entry level position I think they mostly want to see if you align well with their standards.Interview Questions

It started with an initial mini-phone interview and then proceeded to an in-person interview. After the initial phone interview I was required to take an extensive set of competency tests. This initial process was very timely and precise. An interview was set up within a few days of the phone interview and successfully completing the competency tests. I was sent an email with very precise information on where to park, where to enter, who to ask for upon arrival and who I would interview with during my visit. For my specific interview I met with three members of the team all during the same visit. Each person was very professional and handled the interview professionally. Once I was finished with the interview I received a call within a few days letting me know that they would like to offer me the position provided that my background, credit check and references all came back positive.

Man is not the most majestic of the creatures; long before the mammals even, the dinosaurs were far more splendid. But he has what no other animal possesses: a jigsaw of faculties, which alone, over three thousand million years of life, made him creative. Every animal leaves traces of what he was. Man alone leaves traces of what he created.Jacob Bronowski
The painter's portrait and the physicist's explanation are both rooted in reality, but they have been changed by the painter or the physicist into something more subtly imagined than the photographic appearance of things.Jacob Bronowski
[John] Dalton was a man of regular habits. For fifty-seven years he walked out of Manchester every day; he measured the rainfall, the temperatureóa singularly monotonous enterprise in this climate. Of all that mass of data, nothing whatever came. But of the one searching, almost childlike question about the weights that enter the construction of these simple moleculesóout of that came modern atomic theory. That is the essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to the pertinent answerJacob Bronowski
By the worldly standards of public life, all scholars in their work are of course oddly virtuous. They do not make wild claims, they do not cheat, they do not try to persuade at any cost, they appeal neither to prejudice nor to authority, they are often frank about their ignorance, their disputes are fairly decorous, they do not confuse what is being argued with race, politics, sex or age, they listen patiently to the young and to the old who both know everything. These are the general virtues of scholarship, and they are peculiarly the virtues of science.Jacob Bronowski
The symbol of the University is the iron statue outside the Rathskeller of a barefoot goosegirl that every student kisses at graduation. The University is a Mecca to which students come with something less than perfect faith. It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin, barefoot irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known but to question it.Jacob Bronowski
Fifty years from now, if an understanding of man's origins, his evolution, his history, his progress is not in the common place of the school books, we shall not exist.Jacob Bronowski
The force that makes the winter grow Its feathered hexagons of snow, and drives the bee to match at home Their calculated honeycomb, Is abacus and rose combined. An icy sweetness fills my mind, A sense that under thing and wing Lies, taut yet living, coiled, the spring.Jacob Bronowski
Nature is more subtle, more deeply intertwined and more strangely integrated than any of our pictures of her than any of our errors. It is not merely that our pictures are not full enough; each of our pictures in the end turns out to be so basically mistaken that the marvel is that it worked at all.Jacob Bronowski
Has there ever been a society which has died of dissent? Several have died of conformity in our lifetime.Jacob Bronowski

Of all the things I heard at the Transform symposium at the Mayo Clinic last week, there was just one notion that pierced the heart of all this healthcare reform talk, if you ask me. It was the statement by Christi Dining Zuber, Innovation Director at Kaiser Permanente, that healthcare needs to be about compassion rather than "compliance."
The traditional notion of a doctor's role was: "you tell people to do stuff, you push them to do it, and then you track it." Funny that when large numbers of people failed to perform the "stuff," no one seems to have thought about critiquing the methods. Rather, experts just assumed that patients were too lazy or stubborn to follow orders.
But thank the Lord that seems to be changing for real, finally.
"Health care is humans giving care to other human beings," Zuber said. "It has to be about compassion, an appeal to the heart."
I wonder how many of us have had a compassionate encounter with a healthcare provider? Far more common are the horror stories of patronization and blame. Even I could tell you a dozen or more stories of being belittled by a doctor or nurse, and I'm a pretty pushy lady.
The reason I'm encouraged is that Zuber wasn't the only one bashing the "compliance" terminology. I've been to numerous health conferences in the past months, and one after another, experts — including MDs, health plan executives, and health policymakers — take the stage and talk about "motivating behavior change" and "working with patients as partners." Just buzzwords? Hopefully not. At least talking about it is a good start.
That brings me to two things about the power of talking:
First: The night before my presentation, I went to dinner with a small group of attendees. Somehow we got on the subject of my diagnosis, and I ended up recounting all the gory details of near-starvation weight, blurry vision, dehydration, IVs, insulin overdoses, etc., etc. I could see that these folks were visibly shaken. Wow! what a story… you poor thing! But soon they snapped back into "professional mode," lamenting that patients don't follow this or that regime properly. And all I could think was: Do you think I'm the only one with a story like that?! Every patient has been through his or her own little corner of hell. Why can't you connect those life experiences with our "openness" or ability to perform some pretty unpleasant health tasks day in and day out, for the rest of our lives?
Second: The conference wrap-up was delivered by a brilliant woman named Maggie Breslin, Senior Designer at Mayo's SPARC research group. After years of studying every imaginable sort of patient interaction in this million-square-foot clinic, what do you think her conclusion is about what good healthcare looks like?
The answer: A satisfying conversation!
"Conversation is how people determine quality and value," she says. "People love the Mayo Clinic not because of all their state-of-the-art treatments and procedures, but because doctors take the time to talk and answer all patients' questions."
Her other conclusions, which seem so intuitive for us patients desperate for a good talk:
- Conversation has therapeutic value. Providers help patients just by talking with them.
- Conversation allows us to deal with ambiguity. It clears up all that confusing science and medical jargon, so we can understand our health issues.
- Conversation is not just a "nice to have"; it's the essential element of healthcare. Without it, you have nothing.
I couldn't agree more. So who out there is actually getting Compassion and Conversation from their doctor or CDE when they need it most?

Genetic Counseling
Though most babies are born healthy, there is a 3-4% chance in any pregnancy for a baby to have some type of birth defect. Many couples wonder if there are factors in their health or family history that increase this chance. Genetic counselors are specially trained professionals who can evaluate a couple's family and medical histories to determine if there is an increased chance for birth defects or inherited conditions. The genetic counselor can thoroughly explain the benefits, limitations and accuracy of any available tests. They can also discuss the appropriate timing of the tests and test procedures, including any risk to a developing baby. Genetic counseling is a process of providing information and educating parents, in a balanced and complete manner. The genetic counselors at the Division of Maternal Fetal Medicine support a couple's right to choose what testing, if any, is appropriate for them. Reasons To Be Referred for Genetic Counseling Either Before or During Pregnancy:• Maternal age will be 35 or over at the time of delivery• Abnormal AFP blood test or ultrasound examination results • Family history of mental retardation or developmental disability • Family history of a structural birth defect such as a cleft lip/palate, neural tube defect, clubfoot, or congenital heart defect• Known familial chromosomal abnormality• Known hereditary conditions in the family and/or questions about recurrence risks• Ethnic background associated with an increased chance for certain conditions, including Jewish, African-American, Asian or Mediterranean ancestry • Prenatal exposure to potentially harmful substances – for example alcohol or recreational drugs, radiation, chemicals, or certain medications • Blood relation between the couple• Hereditary condition in the mother, for example PKU or homocystinuriaWhen the reason for genetic counseling is a family history of a genetic condition, it is helpful to have medical records documenting the specific diagnosis whenever possible. This allows the genetic counselor to provide the most accurate risk assessment and can help determine the most appropriate tests.Return to main High Risk Obstetrics page

Ahhh delicious androgyny. Historically corsets have never been as popular with men as with women (low tolerance for pain?), but male corsets did enjoy brief fads with groups like the 1830s European dandies. They can create an elegant and elongated waistline for men and add interest to dark ensembles. Here is a roundup of sources for made-to-measure male corsets:

Listen Historian's Notes Resources Transcript
In my opinion, this was one of the more fascinating stories of the 2002 Audio Almanacs.
The notion that the Choctaw Nation used the execution of Going as a last stand protest against provision
in the Curtis Act is not as obvious as perhaps it appears in the segment, yet it does seem odd that the
Choctaw justices were so bent on carrying out the punishment. This segment provides for a very interesting
view into the judicial processes of the Choctaw tribe and reveals the very intricate and thorough processes
utilized by the tribe to insure the due process of law.
Chronicles of Oklahoma. Spring 1998.
Justice is served the Choctaw way this week on the Oklahoma Audio Almanac.
Hello, Im Steven Knoche Kite.
The laws and rules constructed by each nation of Native Americans held provisions for punishing lawbreakers.
As the tribes were forced onto their reservations or into Indian Territory they brought with them the
same methods of law enforcement and punishments. In the 1890s under the provisions of the Curtis Act,
capital crimes were to fall under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Government rather than the individual tribal
governments. Most tribes, at least those in Indian Territory, offered little resistance to this further
intrusion into their affairs perhaps realizing the futility of doing so. The Choctaw tribe, however, offered
a protest to the Curtis Act in the manner of one final execution carried out as dictated by the provisions
of the Choctaw government. The year was 1896 and Choctaw William Going, returning from a day of drinking
in Arkansas met up with and killed his uncle Samson Going. Choctaw courts tried Going and found him guilty
of murder, and therefore deserving of death as prescribed by their tribal laws. The ruling was challenged
by various lawyers, but after several delays and retrials the Choctaw supreme court upheld the decision.
Scheduled for August 6th, 1897 Goings execution was delayed when he, along with another inmate, escaped
from the Choctaw jail and roamed free for several weeks. Authorities recaptured Goings, chained him in
his cell, and rescheduled his execution for July 13th, 1899. The new execution date was set after the
passage of the Curtis Act, technically making it illegal for the Choctaws to carry out the execution.
Tribal leaders argued, however, that since Going was convicted before the Curtis Act came into effect,
that they had the right to carry out the execution. On the morning of the 13th those opponents of the
execution, including U.S. district judges, began sending telegrams ordering the halting of the execution
pending further review. Reasoning that they had followed the proper procedures and still had the authority,
tribal justices held to their decision and Going was executed. Following tribal practice, Going, seated
on a bench outside the courthouse was blindfolded and shot in the heart by Choctaw Sheriff Thomas Watson.
The insistence of the Choctaw authorities to carry out the execution in the face of U.S. protest, it has
been said, was a last assertion of what little autonomy the tribe still held. In any case, the execution
of William Going occurring this week in 1899 was the last execution carried out under Choctaw Tribal Law.
I'm Steven Knoche Kite.

This little offbeat establishment lies on the edge of the so-happening Frenchmen Street scene. It's loose but not disorganized (though you can only book rooms online), and there couldn't be a better choice for laid-back travelers. B&B stands for bed-and-beverage -- the lobby is the highly enjoyable R Bar, and as a guest, you are entitled to two complimentary cocktails.
The R (short for Royal St.) Bar is a little taste of New York's East Village in the Faubourg Marigny. It is a quintessential, cool neighborhood bar in a neighborhood full of artists, wannabe artists, punk-rock intellectuals, urban gentrifiers, and well-rounded hipsters (and it's their designated headquarters on Mardi Gras). It's a talkers' bar, with crowds gathered in layers along the bar, and...
Took a trip to the big easy, with some college mates, for the first time in February. Decided on the Royal Street Inn due to its location and pricing. The Inn and the R Bar downstairs did not let us down. Our room was amazing, with a huge balcony as well as a hop skip and a stumble to the...
My husband and I were preparing to visit New Orleans for the first time and were undecided as to what're to stay. We wanted someplace close to the Quarter and Frenchman St that felt safe for walking. We called up a local friend who immediately suggested the RBar. The RBar did not disappoint! It was exactly what we were looking...
Each of the Royal Street Inn's guest rooms accommodates between two to six guests. Guests enjoy hanging out in the inn's lounge, which features a projection screen TV, a pool table and a jukebox. Seven uniquely decorated guest rooms are offered at the Royal Street Inn. A trendy bar is also located on the premises.

Things really get going after midnight, but you're just as likely to have a perfectly good time in the earlier evening hours.
Check out the rock-band equipment, complete with skeleton lead singer, hanging from the ceiling over the bar (it's not nearly as obtrusive or contrived as it sounds). Also keep an eye out for the giant shark.

Week 8 of the competition might not have had a theme, but it did have Dance Moms' Abby Lee Miller as a guest judge, which is perhaps why they decided to go without a theme in the first place. Trying to have both would've made the night feel like a little much. As far as I'm concerned, Miller's hair was a big enough deal -- and definitely full of secrets -- before we even got to her attitude or her absolute obsession with James. (You guys know what I'm talking about.)
So who's ready to dance? Well, I hope you brought a large number of stage decorations (a.k.a. home furniture), or else you probably won't be allowed to take the floor this week. Cherry trees and sofas or nothing at all!
We kicked the night off with the debut of Mark Ballas' best Robin Thicke impression! As far as the song was concerned, it sounded like a fun dance track, but I was a bit more obsessed with the dance number. Ballas' single, "Get My Name" -- I have no idea what that means -- got things off on the right note, I'll give it that much. However, the thing that really got me excited for the show? Watching Maks and Meryl constantly pat each other.
Tonight would mark the introduction of the Celebrity Dance Duel -- said in Tom's best movie-trailer voice -- and, of course, Abby Lee Miller as a judge. Her checklist of perfection included: Straight legs, pointed feet, perfect musicality, inspiration, emotional changes, and pretty much everything. And by everything, she means you have to look like James Maslow … and be named James Maslow.
Charlie White and Sharna Burgess: 40/40 The quickstep is usually the kiss of death for dancers, but I think Charlie finally managed to find a dance that matched his energy level. And even though this was the perfect opportunity to get him back in his Mary Poppins blazer, I'm willing to look past that oversight because his mom is so adorable. That's right, Charlie's mom paid a visit to remind him what a little optimist he is. And just like that, the man was working those high kicks -- Olympian coming through! -- and quickstepping his way all around that floor. I was very impressed by how together their feet were throughout the entire routine, and I thought Charlie did a great job of toning it down a little, even though his hyper, six-year-old-on-a-Surge-induced-sugar-high personality worked particularly well for this number.
Afterward, Len was deciding if this was special enough for a 10, but Abby was here to correct people: She wanted him to straighten his knee on some jump that she was wrong about, and get this: Bruno was right! Not an arabesque, Abby. Sorry we're not sorry! Also, did she really just make a comment that he needed to slick back his hair? Is she crazy? The bounce in those locks accounts for at least 60 percent of his charm. The other 40? All gold medal, smiles, and optimism!
Bruno praised Charlie's precise footwork, and Carrie Ann thought tonight might be his lucky night. Spoiler: It was. Also, how awkward would it have been if she'd said that and Len didn't give them a 10? Risky, Carrie Ann. But it paid off.
OK, between Erin's romper and her making fun of the thoroughbred comment, she did win me over tonight. Plus, anyone who defends Charlie's hair is alright with me.
Important note: Len loves him some "Hey Ya!"
NEXT: "I smell some spray tan wrestling coming on."

Take the time
Evaluate your trainingsprogram regularly. Do you need to adjust your goals? Use the actual matches for this, you can focus on the aspect you developed in your evaluation. Of course many other things might go wrong in the games, try not to worry too much about this. I know some coaches who plan "problem fixing sessions", this is for a quick fix and also will make players (parents?) feel like you address issues.
Make the evaluation as individual as possible. Re-visit the estimates you made on how much time you wanted to spent developing certain aspects. This will help to develop your understanding of the time it takes for your players to absorb new aspects of our game.
This is also were you will learn if the goals you have set were SMART enough.....

The Shuttle Run Test
The Shuttle Run determines the maximum aerobic endurance of a player. The test was first published by Leger and Lambert (1982).
- Leger, L.A. & Lambert, J. (1982) "A maximal multistage 20m shuttle run test to predict VO2 max", European Journal of Applied Physiology, Vol 49, p1-5.
There are many alternative names now for the shuttle run fitness test, including Beep Test, Bleep Test, YoYo Test and the Pacer test. With this test the participants run back and forth across the gym or training pitch between two lines/markers set twenty meters apart until the players fails to reach the mark at the 'beep' on three consecutive laps or shuttles. The test is usually performed indoor and the speed of the participants is determined by the interval between the audio beeps played on a CD player, cassette or laptop.
There is now a Team Beep Test version (May 2008) that allows you to run a test for the team and log/view the results very quickly as the test is completed. The Team version has been jointly developed by Rugbycoach.com and Bitworks. Each player's score is logged, with a single button press and can be saved to a file, team performance can be viewed on a chart to show fitness over the season. Have a look or download the free application.
Background information on the beep test
The starting speed is 8 km/h and each minute the speed is increased by decreasing the interval between the beeps, see the table below for 'beep' interval times for each one minute stage.
Players should pivot on the line at the moment of the beep (not quicker or slower). The test result is expressed in stages, you can score between 1/2 or 1 stage.
When to perfrom the bleeptest, frequency
This test leaves players completely exhausted so there is an important motivational aspect with this test but players can enjoy the challenge. Also this type of maximum testing takes up a lot of valuable training time and have to carefully planned in the season.
Short-term improvement to individual player fitness may not be readily apparent. Progress is influenced by changes in the workload, number of matches, recovery from injuries, sickness and more. So regular monthly testing is not to be advised.
Timing is critical so it is important for the CD/MP3 or older audio cassette plays at the correct speed. We have found that CD players can be affected by pitch controls (set these at neural or off), MP3 playback speed can be affected by mismatch on CODEC sample rates.
Check the playback with the 1 min. test period at the start of the tape. If not possible to adjust for errors in playback speed you will have to work with the shuttle length using this table:
Check the beep stage timing with a stopwatch. Tapes have a tendancy to stretch, ruining your timing!
You can use the beep test to:
- track how players progress in time
- compare players with others
- compute the aerobic ability of the player using this table
It takes about 90 minutes to administer the test for a whole team.
My experience with the Beep Test
Just to give you an idea what we used to set as goals for the Dutch U21 selection when we tested them in the gym:
Front Row: 9 -11 stages
2nd Row: 10-11
Back Row: 11-13
Half backs: 12
Backs: 12-13
Here is a sample result from a test. I plotted it against the percentage of body fat.
It is a bit of an overstatement but you see that players with a lower fat percentage score better on the beep test. This is explained by the mobility aspect of the test. It helped us to create a better awareness amongst the players about their diet.

The Shuttle Run or Beep / Bleep / Pacer / YoYo Test determines the maximum aerobic endurance of a player. It is a very accurate and popular fitness test and one you can do very easily now: with the Bitworks Team Beeptest software you can turn your laptop or computer into a beeptest machine!
The team beep test is very accurate (200th of a second) - even compared to the mp3/CD versions you now can buy on the internet. The Team Beeptest version has the added value of easy gathering and display of the players beep test scores over the season and makes the test very easy to administer. Simply click on the player button and the software will automatically record the stage. On overview of the software features:
- You can record the beep test scores of individual players while you run the test, when a player is "out" you only have to click the named button with to record their score to a text file database. This allows you to focus on the proper execution of the test.
- VO2 Max figures are updated on the main test screen in real time.
- View the team fitness on a chart, see screen shots below or direct view of the players text file.
- Everything now resides on one system: your test and the results.
- You can put together your own test, specify stages, intervals and rest times. There are coaches who setup a waterpolo and wheel chair versions of the test.
- Print the players scores directly to give the players immediate feedback.
- Convert the player.txt file to excel and have even more freedom for further analysis (something you want to do anyway, even with using an audio version.....)
- Or of course the other way around: once you have an imported players.txt in Excel and you can easily cut and paste your players names into a text file, save it as players.txt and you are ready to test.
This is a website for rugbycoaches but the Team Beeptest software can of course be used for all sports! This fitness test is particularly suitable for players of team sports which require stop-start movements and constant changes of direction.
How to buy Team Beeptest?
We use Paypal - secure payment and privacy guaranteed. This is how it works:
- If you would like to use the software then please purchase the Team Beeptest by clicking on the Paypal button below, the cost is 25 Euro, about 30 U.S. Dollar but your currency is automatically converted by PayPal.

Intro on performance profiling for rugby
Performance profiling in rugby helps players to measure their progress towards set goals. Performance profiling or feedback is part of the whole goal setting program.
Players are motivated if they see their performance improves towards the standard they have set. Again, communication with your players is the key: everybody should know why they play rugby, what they want to achieve.
Why Profiling?
Here are some reasons:
- measure and judge performance
- assess the goals that have been set
- provide feedback
- identify those key elements or characteristics to improve
- relate the individual performance against that of the team
- create awareness of own responsibility, own role as part of the development of the team
You see that goal setting has little effect without the feedback provided by performance profiling.
Performance Analysis
Performance Analysis should give you and the player an object view on the performance of their skills. You should break-down everything in such details that systematic observations will give you good feedback on the progress made.
Two different approaches are possible:
- notational/match analysis, which uses means to record aspects of team performance;
- biomechanics, which revolves around the sporting impact of body movements.
I use the first one, scribbling away on a notepad and experimenting with a video analyses program. Focus on taking notes on those performance parameters that quantify the progress of a skill.
There are several ways to provide feedback on the goalsetting program but most of all remember that the performance goals set by the players are already quantified in terms of Technical -, Tactical -, Mental -, Fitness - and Strength characteristics and perhaps other relevant issues. In the goalsetting program described earlier you identified for each characteristic the achievers/what to do.
Example: improve my goal kicking:
- Goal: 75% of all my penalties will be a score by Xmas this year.
- Technical: improve body position at the kick, follow through after the kick
- Tactical: -
- Mental: improve concentration, develop a performance routine
- Fitness: -
- Strength: develop explosive power in my kicking leg
A performance profile can now easily be made using the above characteristics.
Another example
I found some profile sheets more based on functional roles that can help you get some ideas. An excerpt below:
Performance profile Backs and Defence
- Alignment: deep / flat
- Contest: Man-on / Drift / One out
- Tackle: effective / Correct
- Cover / Support:
- etc.
How to gather the data
This is of course the big thing: record keeping, processing the info and finding time to evaluate with the player(s). Again al lot of organisational skills required. Think about:
- Match analysts (spectators, injured players, retired players you might want to bring as coach anyway, your assistant coaches)
- Video Analysis (this requires some processing too..)
- But most of all involve the players themselves in the Game Analysis
I think that this goal setting process is an excellent way to discuss with your players how you all are going to work together. It gives you an opportunity to discuss with the players what you think is needed for the team to progress.
All in all valuable time spent inside! Good luck, hope that reading this page helps you!
Reference material

- Two books are the basis for a lot of my work, "Winning, the Mental Way" by Karen Sugarman and "Coaching the Inner Edge" by Robin Vealy. Look at my booksection for the review.

This test has been set up for hockey and is later used for soccer too. It measures the speed, agility and ball control. This page is based on an article in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, 38, 138-142.
I ran into this test when I visited the talent program of the F.C. Heereveen where the Rijks Universiteit Groningen conducted a series of tests. I have used the test in rugby several times now.
The Field Hockey background of the test
Competitive field hockey matches place heavy aerobic demands on players and require them to expend energy at relatively high levels. High-intensity activities such as cruising, sprinting, and activities in which the player is directly involved with the ball (for example, dribbling) have been shown to represent between 17.5 - 30% of the competition time and are considered critical to the outcome of the game. Furthermore, in field hockey, high and low intensity activities alternate by a ratio ranging from about 1:4 to 1:8. Consequently, as well as maximal performance on individual high intensity activities, the ability to produce high intensity efforts is crucial for top level field hockey players.
Field hockey is a multiple high intensity activity sport with a multidirectional nature. The ability to change direction rapidly while maintaining balance without loss of speed – that is, agility - is therefore an important physical component necessary for successful performance in field hockey. Elite field hockey players also need high level technical skills such as being able to dribble without losing running speed. For a technically good player, dribbling is essentially an automatic process, and the better players distinguish themselves by their running speed while dribbling the ball.
Coaches, trainers, and players are continually searching for effective methods of identifying and developing those characteristics in a player that may enhance performance.
There are a variety of field tests with which to measure the physiological and technical characteristics of players in team games like soccer, rugby, and handball. However, there was no single test to measure both physiological and technical characteristics in field hockey
players and for this reason Lemmink, Elferink-Gemser and Visscher developed the Shuttle Sprint and Dribble Test (Shuttle SDT) to measure shuttle sprint and dribble performance. Based on tests for agility the Slalom Sprint and Dribble Test (Slalom SDT) was developed to measure slalom sprint and dribble performance.
The relevance to Rugby
From an fitness perspective, the demands on rugby players are very similar to those of hockey players. Of course the dribble aspect is not present with rugby, I substituted this with ball carrying. My intention was to look if players improved after being trained using SAQ methods.
Background information on the Slalom Sprint & Dribble Test
Slalom sprint performance was measured by using the Slalom Sprint and Dribble Test (Slalom SDT; Lemmink et al., 2004a) (see Figure below). In this field hockey specific test, players have to sprint 30 m in a zigzag fashion with twelve 120-degree turns around cones placed 2 m apart while carrying a hockey stick.
I have my rugby players perform the test twice, with- and without carrying the ball.
When to perform the test, frequency
This test does not leave players completely exhausted like the Shuttle Run Test, so this can be done more often. Players see this as just another SAQ circuit run which makes it more fun to do.
The test requires markers, a stopwatch and a tape measure. I have made a rope with knots a the 2 meter spacing to mark out the spacing quickly.
Check the beep stage timing with a stopwatch. Tapes have a tendency to stretch, ruining your timing! You can use the beep test to:
- track how players progress in time
- compare players with others
- compare a players fitness level after his return from injury
It takes about 20 minutes to administer the test for a whole team.
My rugby experience with the Slalom Sprint and Dribble Test
I used this test when working on my final written exam for my SAQ i-Diploma. Neat test, but the run with and without carrying a ball showed practically the same results

Red Oak Lady Hawks vs. Terrell
Jeremy Schack
The Ellis County Press
The Red Oak Lady Hawks Varsity Soccer team
began their season last friday with a double header scrimmage against both Terrell and Garland. The first 40 minute game matched the Lady Hawks against district rivals Terrell. The game started off with the two teams very evenly matched. That all changed with 24 minutes to go in the match when Red Oak opened the scoring. After that the Lady Hawks took control and added a second goal ten minutes later. The match ended with a score of Red Oak-2 Terrell-0. The second match versus Garland, however, did not turn out as the Lady Hawks had hoped. Red Oak created several chances to score but a swift counter attack from Garland Lady Owls gave them a 1-0 advantage. They would remain on the attack and later add a second for a 2-0 victory over Red Oak.

Chicago's Romantic Rebel delivers a brand of female fronted high energy rock that has been taking the scene by storm.
Formed in 2012 by siblings KT Paige (vocals) and Alex Vincent (guitar), the band quickly recruited Danny D (bass) and Marcus Lee (drums) to form what would become Romantic Rebel.
Becoming a promotion machine, the group immediately started booking shows and distributing free music to build a fan base. This self motivated hard work ethic caught the attention of Chicago based record label Pavement Entertainment. The band and label quickly entered into a Artist Partnership and development deal. Under Pavement's direction, Romantic Rebel developed their image, music, and stage show throughout 2013.
After getting numerous regional shows and festivals under their belts with national acts and building a loyal and rabid fanbase, the group entered the studio in late 2013 with world renowned producer Ulrich Wild (deftones, static-x, breaking Benjamin) to record their debut album in Los Angeles, CA.
The album was completed and released on April 29th, 2014, being named Revolver Magazine's 'Album of the Week', only days after it's release.
The result: a modern rock anthem with many throwbacks to classic acts such as Van Halen and Aerosmith. Blending female vocals with classic overtones has given Romantic Rebel an upper hand to the seemingly stale rock scene. A hybrid of modern and classic elements that is sure to turn the heads of fans and critics alike.

I think the controversy over Google Street View is pure rubbish.
I've looked at my own duplex, and the picture is two and a half
years old. I can tell because in the picture I can see the small, 3-
bag wheeled garbage bin that came with the place in it, and I
had it replaced with a larger bin within a month of moving in,
which I've had ever since. Oh yeah, and you can only see the
front of the house. Hardly useful for planning a burglary.
My parents' home, which they've lived in since 2002, isn't even
available. The whole subdivision they live in isn't there at all. It's
incredibly out of date, and it's not as if they drive by daily,
weekly, monthly, or even annually to update them. This is not a
service that a buglar or stalker would find useful. It is, however,
useful for finding a place such a friend's house or business. All
you have to do is print out the image and you know what the
house or office building looks like, which saves you the trouble
of driving past it several times looking for the number.-- 21 Quest,

One of the great incidental benefits of Google Street

Lawmaker Wants to Reduce Local Government Debt - John Dunn
Stream Fox 17 newscasts LIVE starting with Fox 17 This Morning at 5 am and News at 9 pm.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- There is a new focus on the ever-increasing amount of government debt. One state lawmaker believes some Tennessee cities and counties are playing with fire.
Right now if a city wants to build a new project, it often goes into debt to make it happen. Those decisions are made at the local level, but one state senator says some projects should also come before the State Funding Board. "Both Detroit and Birmingham have had major problems and have ended up declaring bankruptcy, and we want to make sure that no cities in Tennessee end up in that situation," says TN Sen. Brian Kelsey, (R) Germantown.
Kelsey's plan would apply to cities with large amounts of debt like Nashville and Memphis. The local government would have to go before the State Funding Board before it can take on more debt. Cites or counties with at least one bond rating lower than AA would also have to go before the board. Kelsey's proposal would also apply to any city or county which plans to take on debt similar to balloon mortgages, in which payments are low in the beginning but eventually balloon out of control. "So they may just be paying a little bit of interest on the front end, and then putting off high payments until five and 10 years down the road, often times when those local government officials have left office," says Sen. Kelsey.
Many local elected leaders are likely to challenge the idea. "The state should not come into Davidson County or Shelby County and tell us what to do," says Metro Councilman at-Large Jerry Maynard.
Maynard believes the state and Senator Kelsey should stay out of local business. "It is up to us to determine what is in the best interest of Davidson County. Senator Kelsey can keep his opinion, but no one in Davidson County has voted for him one time," says Maynard.
Senator Kelsey believes a change is needed to protect taxpayers. "Ultimately this bill is going to lead to lower property taxes for our citizens, and more importantly for our grandchildren when they have to pay back on these bonds," says Kelsey.
Metro Finance Director Rich Riebling did not want to comment on this proposal because he has not read Kelsey's proposed legislation.
Senator Kelsey is calling this one of his top priorities for this year's legislative session. Lawmakers will begin debating this idea on Capitol Hill later this month.

Cashier Interview
I applied online. The process took 3 days – interviewed at Sam's Club in November 2014.
I applied on a Saturday, received a call on Sunday to come in for an interview on Monday. Monday I went in for the interview and talked to a very nice woman who asked only 3 questions. (I will list below with a (1) next to it). So after that interview she asked if I could come back to speak with another manager later that day. I came back at the set later time and spoke with a man who was extremely friendly you can really tell he cared about his employees and their careers. Anyways He said he was supposed to ask the exact same questions as the first woman but he said he really just wanted to get to know me and who I was. after about 4 minutes he said he wanted to offer me the job and I could start Tuesday. He left the room to get some paperwork and came back to get me so I could meet with a 3rd woman who asked basic question (Will list below with a (3) next to it). So she went over the pay scale with me asked if this pay was alright with me. We filled out paper work and went over the job description. Then she gave me directions and papers to take to the drug test/background testing place. She said if everything came back clean I would get a call Tuesday morning. Later Monday night I got a call from the 2nd interviewer and he said everything was clean and asked if I was ready to go Tuesday for orientation. So that was the whole process, the only things I did not like was I was not told I was going to have to wait in line at the member service desk for them to page them to tell them I was here. So I suggest to come in for your interview 30 minutes early (I always do so I wasn't late thankfully I hate being late!) in case there is a long line at the desk. I waited about 20 minutes in line, then I waited another 15 minutes at the cafe for both interviews.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Sam's Club in September 2014.Interview Details
My interview at the Riverdale Utah Sams Club..... Where do i start? My first interview went well. They scheduled me for my second and third interviews which would be on the next Thursday. They said they would call me to tell me the time. When Thursday came around they never called. I called them and they apologized and told me to come in the next day to have my final interview with the manager. When i went in the next day for the final interview, they told me the manager was not there. They had me wait awhile and she suddenly showed up. She looked and talked like she was high on drugs. She informed me that she did not have my interview packet because she forgot it. However, she said that i could start screening/orientation the next week. She said they would call me to finalize the time. Guess what? They never called. I don't know about you but I DON'T WANT TO WORK FOR SUCH AN UNPROFESSIONAL COMPANY. Personally, i make good on what i say! And i'm proud of it! This place is a joke! They have no idea who is in charge or what they are doing! Apply to COSTCO! They pay more anyway!Interview Questions

I applied online and a few weeks later i received a call later to come in for an interview the next day. We did the interview in the cafe area which wasn't bad cause it wasn't busy. The lady was very friendly and only ask me 3 questions. I only remembered 1 question, "Tell me about a time when a customer was upset. What did you do and what was the outcome?" And everything else was just asking about my availability, if I was in school, etc. After that she said that I was about to start the second interview right then and there. The next lady comes over and told me about selling and asked if I was comfortable with it. I said yes and she just. went over my application like the lady before and verifying and asked "Why do I want to work there?". After that she said that I then needed to do the background and drug test. I did that the same day and the next day I got a call to come in the next week for the job offer. When I came back for that, again the person at the customer service desk said for me to wait in the cafe area. It was me and one other person. we waited for about 25 min and the other guy went to the desk and they said to wait over by the pharmacy. REALLY?!?! So we went over there and waited another 10 min before she finally called me over to meet the manager. He asked me "Why Sam's Club?" and told me to read the job description on the computer and put that I am capable of doing the job. Took like 2 min after waiting over 30 min. The other lady then scheduled me for orientation but I'm not gonna go because it was really unprofessional and rubbed me the wrong way....Interview Questions

I submitted my application online. About a month later I was called in for an interview. That same day I had 2 interviews back to back which took about 7 minutes each composing of "Tell me a time when..." questions. After finishing the second interview, I was informed I would be called the next day for an interview with the Club Manager as he was not present at the time. The following day I was called in for a same day interview. At this interview, I was mostly informed of what the position required such as membership renewals and upgrades, safety, dependability, etc. I was then given my background and drug test paperwork to sign and told my starting pay.Interview Questions

I applied online. The process took a week – interviewed at Sam's Club in April 2014.Interview Details
Very simple process. I was interviewed the first time by an employee who would potentially supervise me if I got the job. All she did was ask around ten scenario-type questions and then we were through. took about 10 minutes. Was called in for a second interview to go over what the job entailed and sign paperwork. We were finished quickly after that. Called in for a third interview and was told the pay I would receive and asked to complete a drug test before they would offer the position. They were very hasty about my coming in for each interview. I was called in for my first interview the day of my application and went in, was asked to come in the following day (I was busy and went in a day later), then was asked to come in the third time the day afterward. It's nice if you don't like to wait.Interview Questions

Question by Meredith O: Can you put THC oil in the Smoking Everywhere e-cigarettes?
I have a medical condition and my doctor recommended medicinal marijuana. I was just wondering if I would be able to get the THC through an e-cigarette, as it would be more convenient than regular vaporizers and healthier than smoking it. Serious answers please, I really do need to use it to live a regular life.
Best answer:
Answer by peetr
you may be the first person to try it, the e-cig is pretty new.
There is a vaporizer called the i-inhale or iolite . It is pretty easy to use and hide. I am assuming that's what you're after. Oil could be used if you added it to a little herbal material. I found that the iolite had an unpleasant plasticy smell though and it looks like I might break it if I'm not careful . Read the review below.
A regular vaporizer such as the original Vapor Brothers Vaporizer would be better for you at home or in the car with a power adapter. I've found the knockoffs and other vaporizers are not as reliable and some have obnoxious odors.

Concierge.com's insider take:
Refined The refined Campton Place, which was purchased in spring of 2007 by the Taj hotel group, has only 110 rooms, which means that service is personal as well as polished. Rooms are decorated in sand and cinnamon hues, with old-fashioned leather-topped writing desks and pear-wood paneling. A stay here is as soothing as a cup of hot chocolate and as serene as a weekend at a country house, thanks to insulated glass windows that block out urban noise. Standard rooms can be a bit cramped, and not all have bathtubs (request one if it matters to you); better to upgrade to the deluxe category, which will give you an extra 100 square feet, enough space to accommodate a fully opened room-service table and two chairs. The in-room dining is courtesy of the attached Campton Place Restaurant, which serves up Cal-Med cuisine that highlights local produce and is executed with French-style precision. The guests, mostly high-flying executives and couples on romantic getaways, tend to keep to themselves.—Updated by John Vlahides
