==========================================================1. Remembering our Korean War Veterans==========================================================Today marks another day for friends, family and current day
service men and women to pause in Remembrance. The sacrifices of those who paid the ultimate price areeven more evident to us this year with the recent war activity.
Those who continue to wear the physical and mental scars of war whether veteran or family need to be thanked for their contribution as well. Those who became POW - Prisoner of War and suffered
deprivation at the hands of their captors deserve a special Remembrance today. Close to 13,000 UN troops were held over time. For US Forces, just under 4700 men came home after Operation Little
and Big Switch. Others who managed to escape, never given POW status, deserve to be recognized for the hardship endured.The casualty rate among UN Forces held captive was staggering.
The call to service in the Korean Peninsula was answered by an international force of arms. Medical units, aviation, naval and/or infantry units arrived to assist in stemming the tide of aggression from the North.
Civilians on both sides of the Demarcation Line in Korea lost their lives by the thousands. Many more of them became refugees. The ROK had upwards of 135,000 imprisoned or
reduced to involuntary service for the DPRK. Estimates of 89,000 ROK citizens are still unaccounted for.For those who served and those who continue the tradition, We Shall Remember.
==========================================================2. A Young Korean Remembers==========================================================Ed Moynagh, USAF Ret. first caught this recent KWP Guestbook entry:

A Foxhole View, Personal accounts of Hawaii's Korean War Veterans Edited by Louis BaldoviEditor Note: more details as soon as we contact our pal, Louis
From Charles Fox, in Hawaii: Quoting from the Preface:"Seventy Korean War combat veterans, from various units, were invited to share their accounts of the war. Of the seventy, fifty agreed to be interviewed.
"All of the stories are woven together in chronological order, starting in 1950, rather than presenting thirty separate accounts"."In comparison to the overall population of the United
States, Hawaii suffered three times as many wounded and three and a half times the total number of casualties"."Of the sixteen nations, excluding the United States, that
sent ground combat units to Korea, only Turkey and the United Kingdom had more men killed in action than Hawaii".---c.---The Price We Payby Ralph AdamsFrom: Ralph Adams email@example.com
Ted, I had told you I had written a book about the Korean war. Titled,'The Price We Pay" I have many pictures I took in the Korean war. The book is almost 300 pages.

MIA - Korea, Sgt. Forehand's Family Still Searchesby Thomas ForehandAn online book: http://www.miakorea.com/korea/
Have you ever received a letter that came late? I did. That letter was written in 1954 but did not arrive until
1995forty-one years later! Shortly before that letter arrived, I had asked my aunt to send information about my father's tour of duty in Korea. She obliged me by sending a
copy of that un-mailed, 1954 letter that I had never even known existed. It was a letter she had typed to send to me, a seven-year old. Yet for various reasons, in 1954 she felt
that she could not send it. For four decades, her epistle lay buried under a dirty pile of family bitterness, sickness and forgetfulness. In part, Aunt Peggy had withheld this
detailed information until she was convinced I would seriously appreciate my fathers experience. This book is about my late father Master Sergeant Thomas A. Forehand. If he were alive today, he would be in his
eighties. It is expected that few Americans remember him, however, it is tragically unexpected that most Americans remember little of the last war he played a part in -- The Korean War. ---e. ---
Christmas in JulyEdited by Hank Nicol firstname.lastname@example.com
"Christmas in July" is a story by over 20 of us who were in a battle on Christmas Hill during July 1953, the last month of the Korean War. I am now collecting stories--and writing
my own--about earlier phases of the war.I have edited "Christmas in July" which is on the web. Go to:~http://www,northcoast.com/~dogface. If that doesn't work go to the website of Humboldt State
University, click on Department, click on History, scroll down to Dogface-Xmas Hill. ==========================================================4. USS Orleck DD-886
==========================================================From: Roy Yater email@example.com'm a Korean War vet and very much enjoy the newsletters. Other readers may be interested in the story of the
destroyer on which I served during the war. She was built in Orange Texas shipyards in 1945 and fought in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. After nearly 40 years of distinguished service
she was decommissioned and sold to the Turkish Navy. A few years ago a group of interested patriots from Orange arranged to have her towed to Orange Texas, where she is now being refurbished by volunteers.
She is open to the public as an educational and historical museum. The USS Orleck (DD886) is a proud old fighting lady named for a valiant WWII skipper who, after evacuating the
entire crew, went down with his damaged ship when it hit a mine while he was trying to ground it. The ship's web site is
http://www.Orleck.com. Her caretakers are seeking donations to provide her with a badly needed dry-docking.
==========================================================5. "Shot Heard 'Round the World." - October 3, 1951==========================================================
Last fall, the KWP alerted our viewers to a young Wall Street Journal writer, Josh Prager. Josh received many email from you and is still working on his book:May 19, 2003 From: Josh Prager firstname.lastname@example.com. My name is Joshua Prager. I'm a reporter at the Wall
Street Journal currently on book leave writing about a baseball game that took place on October 3, 1951--right in the middle of the battle at Heartbreak Ridge. The event was
a playoff game between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Giants that culminated in Bobby Thomson's famed home run, the "Shot Heard 'Round the World."
The radio call of the game was carried by Armed Forces radio and I'd very much like to include a story or two about soldiers in Korea who were able to listen to the game,
particularly if you were stationed at Heartbreak Ridge. If you have an interesting story to share about listening to the game while a soldier in Korea, I'd love to hear it. Thank you so very much. My email is

7. A Son-in-Law Visits the Allegheny County Korean War Memorial==========================================================From: email@example.com: <
email@example.com>Sent: Monday, May 05, 2003 7:30 PMI would like to share a note I received from one of my son-in- laws;
Earlier today, I was walking along the north shore (between PNC Park and Heinz Field) and I noticed the Korean War Memorial. I've walked this stretch of the Allegheny River Shore line several times when coming to/from
Steelers/Pirates Games. Until today, I have never noticed the beauty of this Memorial. The sun was shining on it in such a way that all of the marble and bronze was glowing. I
spent quite awhile walking through the Memorial. I have to be 100% honest: the Korean War was never dealt with in any of my history classes in school. As a result, I got quite a
history lesson today. The Memorial has a section devoted to the events of the war and a chronological timeline. The names of all the servicemen from Allegheny County who served during the conflict have their own brick.
About a half hour ago, I watched the arrival (on American soil) of the first POW's home from the current War in Iraq.These two events today, really got me thinking about how on
any given day, a few hundred/thousand service personnel keep several hundred million American citizens free. What an awesome task! Often, I feel my generation is not
appreciative (does not even attempt to grasp) the level of sacrifice it takes to keep us free. A lot of us have always known, but never truly grasped the required level of
sacrifice. Today, has me grasping it a little more, and I just wanted to say thanks for the sacrifice you made many years ago, far away from home, for so many of us.

Cam's Weather Vlog for 05/02/13May 2nd, 2013 at 12:02 pm by cameronhopman under Chad's WLFI Weather Blog
WLFI Video Blog Entry May 2, 2013
Forecast Discussion:
Considering how beautiful the last few days were, it pains me to talk about any rain in the forecast, let alone six straight days with rain chances. A low pressure system that will stall out over parts of the Midwest and Great Plains in coming days will supply the viewing area with yet another long term period of rain. The first dose will arrive later today as scattered showers and thunderstorms begin to pop up after 3:00 pm. Our rain chances will remain scattered and isolated until Saturday, that's when the cold front will finally begin to traverse the viewing area. The passage of that front this weekend will drop temperatures below average for the first time since this past Sunday bearing in mind that we'll hit 79° and 73° for Thursday and Friday respectively. Sustained rainfall and highs in the low 60s will make for a gloomy and damp Saturday and Sunday. We may still see some wrap around precipitation even after the low passes to our east. Expect scattered showers and thunderstorms on Monday and a slight chance of lingering showers come Tuesday. However, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Current trends have the rain finally exiting the region by next Wednesday; we're looking at afternoon highs back in the 70s with mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies!

More than 50 enrolled members of tribes in South Dakota and North Dakota will be walking in President Barack Obama's inauguration parade later this month.
Fifty-five people representing the Three Affiliated Tribes of Fort Berthold, the Spirit Lake Nation, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate and the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa will walk in the Jan. 21 parade.
Prairie Rose Seminole is helping organize the local tribes in the walk. She says she received a call when parade organizers realized it didn't have a delegation from North Dakota.
She says the participants range from seven-year-olds to veterans. Some plan to walk in traditional attire.
The group will participate in other inauguration events and also tour historical sites while in Washington.

APP OF THE DAY: Mad Men Cocktail Culture (iPhone)
We see oodles of apps here at Pocket-lint, and while some can safely be deemed 'useful', others are sadly 'not so useful'. But give us an app that tells us how to make cocktails, Don Draper style, and we're definitely putting it in the 'useful' camp. After all, who wouldn't want to be the handsome Manhattan ad exec who struts around in sharp Sixties suits and quaffs Bloody Marys at 9am meetings?
Mad Men Cocktail Culture
- Format
- iPhone, iPod touch or iPad
- Price
- £Free/1.19 for upgrade
- Where
- iTunes
Launched a couple of weeks ago to tie in with the start of series (sorry, "season") four of the award-winning US drama on the Beeb, the Mad Men Cocktail Culture app for the iPhone offers a snappily designed cocktail guide including classics such as the Tom Collins, the Brandy Alexander and the Vodka Gimlet.
Once you've chosen your poison, you're given a short descripton along with a list of the ingrediants and instructions on how to make it. There's also a series of fun facts for trivia bores to feast on. To aid your bartending skills, you can view a picture of how your drink should look and there's even a screen that brings up a virtual glass which you can drain by tipping the device. We suggest that you might be better off making a real one though.
The app is free, but if you want to shell out a paltry £1.19, then you can upgrade the app to include a game where you can test your mixology knowledge by picking out the ingrediants for your chosen cocktail, which is then rated, top trump-style, for accuracy and potency. You do have to shell out £1.19 per cocktail though, so we reckon you're best sticking to the free stuff. Cheers!

Limbaugh defends Palin from Jeb, Mitt
Rush Limbaugh (channeling Jonathan Martin) said on the radio today GOP leaders "despise Sarah Palin" and find her "embarassing."
Limbaugh called her "the most prominent and articulate voice for standard, good-old-fashioned American conservatism" and mocked the "presidential perspirations" of Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, and Eric Cantor.

Despite being short-handed for weeks, the Chicago Bulls have remained in contention for home-court advantage in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
After earning a key win in that race last time out, the Bulls will try to take advantage of a visit from the lowly Orlando Magic on Friday night.
The Bulls had five players inactive Thursday but managed to earn a 92-90 win at Brooklyn that moved them within 1 1/2 games of the fourth-place Nets.
Carlos Boozer led the way with 29 points and 18 rebounds while Derrick Rose (knee), Joakim Noah (foot), Taj Gibson (knee), Richard Hamilton (back) and Marco Belinelli (abdominal) sat out.
"You got Marco out. Rip out. D-Rose out. Taj out. Guys are just stepping up, man, and that's what teams do. You got Jo out and (Nazr Mohammed stepping in for him," guard Nate Robinson said. "These guys are coming in and it's like old school wrestling. Tag team. You know when one guy goes in, tag him, the other guy go out. Back and forth. We just got to keep playing and keep doing that, we'll be OK."
Before the win, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said Rose appears to be getting even closer to his return from offseason knee surgery. The 2010-11 league MVP, who has been cleared to play, fully participated in Thursday morning's shootaround.
Thibodeau also said that Gibson's knee injury was not as bad as the one that kept him out of 10 straight games earlier this season, and the reserve big man remains day to day.
Next up for the Bulls (41-33) is matchup with the Magic (19-57), losers of 11 of 12.
Orlando couldn't take advantage of a short-handed San Antonio squad in a 98-84 road defeat Wednesday. The Spurs, who were missing stars Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili took control with a 15-2 run in the fourth quarter.
"We know what we're capable of but we're not playing the way we can," point guard Beno Udrih said. "The first three quarters we (played well) and the last quarter, we made a couple of mistakes. We were not focused enough."
The Magic have been dealing with injuries of their own, namely to leading scorer Arron Afflalo (hamstring) and point guard Jameer Nelson (ankle). That's hardly helped Orlando on the road, where it's dropped nine straight and 23 of 26.
The Magic, who lost 10 in a row on the road Jan. 14-Feb. 22, have dropped 44 of 51 overall. However, they've lost their two matchups with the Bulls this season by a combined eight points.
Luol Deng had 15 of his team-best 23 points in the second half in the most recent matchup at the United Center, a 99-93 victory Nov. 6, and Boozer scored 31 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to help Chicago hold on for a 96-94 win in Orlando on Jan. 2.
Boozer is averaging 22.6 points in his last five games against the Magic, his best showing versus any East team over the past two seasons.
Chicago has won seven of eight over Orlando.

It seems John McCain has tired of John Hagee, and rightfully so after it was reported that the leader of Christians United for Israel considered Hitler a divine agent, called by God to return the Jews to the biblical Land of Israel. Those six million butchered in the Holocaust? Collateral damage, I guess. Via CNN:
"Obviously, I find these remarks and others deeply offensive and indefensible, and I repudiate them. I did not know of them before Reverend Hagee's endorsement, and I feel I must reject his endorsement as well," McCain said in a statement to CNN Thursday.
He added that his relationship with Hagee did not compare with Obama's lengthy association with Rev. Jeremiah Wright. "I have said I do not believe Senator Obama shares Reverend Wright's extreme views. But let me also be clear, Reverend Hagee was not and is not my pastor or spiritual advisor, and I did not attend his church for twenty years. I have denounced statements he made immediately upon learning of them, as I do again today," said McCain.
Now, what to do with Rod Parsley?

Steve Breen and Manti Te'o
I thought [Tuesday's] Manti Te'o cartoon was lowbrow, and here's why:
• that joke's been overdone
• that episode is past history
• San Diego needs a lift in football
• Manti Te'o needs a lift in life
Steve Breen is so smart and so funny that I figured he might have come up with something better. It's hard to knock a Pulitzer Prize winner, but then he went and knocked the Butkus Award winner. Let's hope for a clever follow-up that's a positive shot in the arm for all of us football fans. — Ted Ewing, Normal Heights
I'd love to laugh at a Manti joke if it was funny. But since it's already been well established that Manti was the victim of a hoax this cartoon comes off as clueless. Anyone who believes the storyline that he concocted the fake girlfriend to get attention is even more gullible than Manti. But hey, don't let the truth get in the way of a good joke. — Rocky McDonald, Rancho Bernardo
Why does Steve Breen (along with Matt Calkins and other U-T staffers) feel the need to joke about Manti Te'o? Put it to rest and welcome Manti to San Diego! The Chargers just stole the best linebacker in the draft. San Diegans should be celebrating! — Mike Allen, Del Cerro

Historic Lansing photos
Posted 01 August 2005 - 08:46 PM
First, a shot looking east down Michigan Ave in 1930, none of the buildings on the right exist anymore.
An arial view of the Captiol Complex under construction in 1967, it would be nice to see this kind of thing going on again, the Treasury, Mennen and Transportation buildings are under construction along with the Lansing Towers apartments.
A night shot of the Capitol Complex in 1971, shortly after it's completion, looks very modern and clean.
An industrial shot of Cedar & Shiawassee in 1910, I don't beleive any of the noticeble buildings exist any more. I can't figure out exactly which way this is facing since there are no landmarks to go by.
A drawing of the REO plant in 1918, Washington Ave is running accross the bottom right.
A view of the REO buildings that faced Washington Ave in 1977.
A view of REO along the RR tracks in 1977.
A view of the Old Lansing City Hall (Left) and the Old Post Office (Right)
The Lansing School for the Blind as it used to be.
Lansing Central High School, now known as LCC's Old Central Building (has been "modernized")
Some unkown Lansing Factory shots, non currently exist , of course.
I hope to get more historic photos of downtown soon, to be specific the third Saturday of this month when the library has it's history section open.
Posted 01 August 2005 - 09:01 PM
Also, the Cedar and Shiawassee shot is looking slightly northwest. You can see the Grand River and the rail bridge (now a pedestrian Bridge) in the upper left hand corner. I'm sure a few of those buildings are left though the picture if so fuzzy that I only see one I recognize. If you look near the bottom right you see a house with a crown. It's now a center for dyslexia.
Man, the area just west of the Capitol Complex has been completely leveled for parking lots. It's so sad.
Posted 01 August 2005 - 09:16 PM
The 6 block area that the origional Capitol Complex sits on was largly occupied by
mid rise apartments and rowhouses, some of the rowhouse strips were up to 1/2 block long according to maps, those are the main pictures I would like to see.
And as for Cedar & Shiawassee, do you mean northwest? I think I see it now pointing out that house helps. I think most of that was there quite recently, some was demolished for Olds Park and some for the Lansing Center.

Posted 02 August 2005 - 01:11 PM
I haven't lived in Lansing for 25 years, but if that view is of East Michigan Ave., when I lived there, it was Lansing's sleaze district (hookers, strip clubs, Joe Covello's Drag Bar, Rescue Mission "Jesusaves", etc.).
Enlighten me Lmichigan ...
Posted 02 August 2005 - 04:02 PM
The area you are speaking of is now Oldsmobile Stadium, as I'm sure you know, and the businesses along Larch and East Michigan are now cleaned up and revitalized. Most of the buildings have lofts above the storefronts now. The whole area is referred to as Pere Marquette Place by some. There is a small block of new construction condos along the railtracks north of Claras, but still much land to build on.
The Rescue Mission is still there and doing the good work it always has. It's an eclectic mix of businesses to say the least.
Posted 18 February 2006 - 08:29 PM
LS & MS Depot - this was somewhere along Cedar Street, downtown. I can't really remember the old railroad configuration of the area, but it was somewhere in this area and demolished long ago.
Hollister Building before it was expanded and still known as the Hollister Block. This is the oldest remaining "high-rise" building of Lansing.
Fire Station #1 - This one looks like the current home of the Lansing Civic Players on East Michigan Avenue, but Station #1 would be the one downtown at Grand and Shiawasee. So, I'm not sure where this one is or if it still exists.
300 south block of Washington Square looking north. With the old Downey Hotel dominating the foreground.

According to my book, the second fire station #1 (which is the one you have a pic of) was "at the base of Allegan Street, on Grand" basically where the S. Grand ramp is now.

The first two movies, 2001's "Bridget Jones's Diary" and 2004's "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason," starred Zellweger as a hapless British reporter who devotes much of her energy to losing weight and finding a boyfriend.
Pictures of the summer's
Helen Fielding returned to the newspaper route after publication of "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason." The columns, which started in 2005, found Jones mad for motherhood and still torn between cad Daniel Cleaver and gentleman Mark Darcy.

The Ridgeland Titans have many options in the playbook and with personnel.
After playing the power I offense that Provine presented last week, the Starkville Yellowjackets know they have to be ready for anythng when the Titans come to down for Class 5A, Regin 2, District 6 action on Friday. Kickoff for the first October game is set for 7 p.m.
"They will try to run and throw the football," Starkville defensive coordinator Brooks Oakley said. "They've got a good quarterback who is a running threat and they have two of their receivers back from last year so they are definitely a big threat."
Ridgeland, which has records of 4-2 overall and 2-0 in the division, have three receivers with at least seven catches this season. Bryce Williams has 11 catches for 133 yards, while Ben Culpepper adds 142 yards on seven catches and Xavier Marion has 99 yards on seven carries.
As Oakley indicates, Titan quarterback Parker Lohman can run or throw. He has completed 35 of 69 pass attempts for 484 yards with four touchdowns, and has carried 63 times for 436 yards with six more scores.
Ridgeland brings a three-game winning streak into the matchup by defeating Lanier 48-6, Canton 27-0 and Kosciusko 31-13. The Titans started the season with a 34-20 victory against Mendenhall, then dropped the next two against Clinton 23-3 and Terry 29-14.

SA to see pass-happy Parklane
For the second week in-a-row, the Starkville Academy Volunteers will be on the road and playing a pass-happy offense.
The Volunteers (4-3, 2-1) travel to take on Parklane (6-1, 2-0) Friday at 7 p.m.
"They have always been a real good defensive team," SA head coach Jeff Terrill said. "This year they've gone to the spread-type offense. They are doing a very good job of it. They are very sound in all phases of the game."
In last year's meeting in Starkville, the Vols took a 7-5 decision. This year it looks like the offenses will have a better go of it.
"They're a Division I program that has only one loss," Terrill said. "It will be a real challenge for us."

"...today we are here to honor the work of researchers and academics who helped keep Kurdish history safe."
An important page in history was turned yesterday on the University of Colorado Boulder campus, as Chancellor DiStefano officially handed over an electronic copy of important documents from the university's human rights archive to a delegation of Kurdish officials.
Five University of Colorado Boulder graduate students or alumni have been offered Fulbright grants to pursue teaching, research and graduate studies abroad during the 2014-15 academic year.
One doctoral student's proposed topic of study in Thailand is the use of ultraviolet light and LED (light-emitting diode) technology to remove pathogens from reusable wastewater. Another doctoral student plans to study media practices and products in Australia that shape a particular Aboriginal identity.
The University of Colorado Boulder is ranked No. 4 in the nation for graduates serving as Peace Corps volunteers with 93 alumni currently serving around the world, the Peace Corps announced today.
Since 2004, CU-Boulder has held a position in the top four among institutions of similar size. CU-Boulder is the fifth highest volunteer-producing university of all time with 2,353 undergraduate alumni having served in the program since it was established in 1961.
The opening ceremony of the Olympics—with the parade of nations and athletes and the lighting of the Olympic flame—reminds Jordan Valutas, 2007 alumna of the University of Colorado Boulder Leeds School of Business, why she works so hard as client services manager at CoSport, a leading provider of consumer hospitality packages and individual event tickets to the Olympic Games.
A variety of public health issues plague the refugees from Burma living on the Thai border, not the least of which is drinking water contaminated by bacteria and pesticides. Yet few low-cost, sustainable and appropriate treatment technologies are available to people in rural and developing communities to ensure water safety.
Five University of Colorado Boulder engineering students recently returned from Haiti where they introduced a green energy vocational training program, paving the way for a new era of distributed power in the poverty-stricken, earthquake-damaged nation.
Boroka Bo, a 31-year-old senior sociology major, is graduating May 11 from the University of Colorado Boulder, 17 years after emigrating from the Transylvania region of Romania to the United States as a political refugee.
This spring, Bo received a prestigious Soros Fellowship, a program that awards 30 fellowships annually to naturalized citizens, green card holders or children of naturalized citizens. It provides up to $90,000 in support to students who plan to use their graduate education to contribute back to their communities.
With visions of ski resorts and warm beaches on the minds of many students, the University of Colorado Boulder is urging students to exercise caution whether they remain in Colorado, travel elsewhere in the country or go abroad for spring break.
CU-Boulder's spring break is March 26-30.
Peace Corps Director Aaron S. Williams will give a short presentation at the University of Colorado Boulder on Wednesday, Jan. 25, to share stories of CU alumni who are currently serving overseas and discuss the importance of the Peace Corps in the world today.
The presentation will begin at 1:30 p.m. in Old Main Chapel and is free and open to the public.
Nominated by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the U.S. Senate in 2009, Williams is the 18th director of the Peace Corps and the fourth director to have served as a Peace Corps volunteer.
A team of CU-Boulder engineers traveled to Haiti this month to support the growth of green energy on the two-year anniversary of the country's devastating earthquake.
Engineering professors Alan Mickelson and Mike Hannigan and graduate student Matt Hulse collaborated with the Neges Foundation school at Leogane to create a vocational training program on the installation, operation and maintenance of renewable energy systems.
Every gift matters, no matter the size.

Addressing Abuse Head-On
In response to the recent high-profile media cases of athlete abuse by coaches, the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) reiterates that providing and maintaining a safe environment for athletes is the first priority for all strength and conditioning coaches. This environment should be safe in terms of physical, psychological, and emotional health. Athletes must be able to feel safe and comfortable in their training setting in order to gain the most benefit from the program. The purpose of this article is to provide practical research-based guidance on how coaches can develop a safe and healthy environment for all athletes.Role of the Strength and Conditioning CoachWhile many may view the main role of coaches as maximizing athletic performance, the primary role of strength and conditioning coaches is providing athletes a safe and healthy environment in which to train. Decreasing the likelihood of injury is implicitly understood and is reflected in demonstrating proper exercise technique, monitoring athletes for safe technique, progressing athletes safely and effectively, using an appropriate progression of exercise protocols, and ensuring equipment is safe and effective (1). Strength and conditioning coaches must also work within their scope of practice. This means that if an athlete has physical injuries, the coach should defer to the athletic training staff or team doctor.
The cooperative communication between these professionals ensures the safest and most effective environment for the health and success of all athletes. In conjunction, all facilities should have a Policies and Procedures Manual which includes an emergency action plan specific to each venue and sport (2). If an injury to an athlete occurs, there should be a "first responder," namely a coach that takes action to prevent further harm and enacts a chain of events set forth in the emergency action plan.Further, it should be clearly understood and communicated to and between all strength and conditioning coaches and other health professionals, that it is their responsibility to ensure all athletic environments are free of abuse, harassment, and bullying. "Research indicates that sexual harassment and abuse happen in all sports and at all levels," and as such, all coaches of all athletes should actively implement policies and procedures which promote a safe and positive environment (3).Abuse PreventionAll facilities should have a Policies and Procedures Manual which includes guidelines set forth regarding prevention and reporting of abuse. Regardless of setting, this is a crucial issue that protects athletes and coaches. Strength and conditioning professionals must be proactive in order to develop and maintain a safe environment for all athletes, and as such, practical procedures should be implemented and encouraged. A specific policy for athlete protection should be in place which includes applicable codes of practice, education and training opportunities for athletes, coaches and parents, complaint and support mechanisms, and monitoring and evaluation systems (5). Central to these practices to prevent abuse, strength and conditioning professionals must remain focused on the well-being of athletes at all times (5).Strength and conditioning professionals should ensure coaches and athletes continue to be educated about abuse prevention and what to do should abuse be reported or suspected (4). Education should include an understanding that abuse (physical, sexual, emotional, or negligent ill-treatment), and harassment and bullying (physical, verbal, or psychological) are based on an abuse of power and trust, and thus it should be acknowledged that coaches and peer athletes may act as the perpetrators (5). One step that strength and conditioning professionals should take is to be the best example at all times - displaying and promoting the utmost professionalism and respect for the coach-athlete relationship. For example, on occasion, an athlete may feel uncomfortable with coaching cues that involve physical contact. Coaches should be aware of this and adjust their coaching style accordingly.
If this is the case, the coach can find other means to teach such as visual cues on a video screen, tablet, or smart phone; or by having other athletes, who are comfortable with physical cues, demonstrate what coaches are trying to teach. Auditory cues are always the safest way to prevent misconception of physical abuse.
When a coach uses auditory cues, with the visual cues of using their own body as an example, there will be no physical contact with the athlete. This is one of the best ways to allow the athlete to remain comfortable within the training environment.Another opportunity to be proactively engaged in abuse prevention is to provide regular abuse prevention workshops or seminars to athletes, coaches, and parents. These should be utilized on a regular basis before, during, and after the training season. As part of this process, coaches should provide other activities which aim to develop strong partnerships with parents who can also assist in preventing and reporting abuse (5).
Creating a Positive Atmosphere
Another role of strength and conditioning coaches is to create a positive atmosphere for athletes. The coach should serve as a positive role model and be constantly thinking of ways to help cultivate success in the lives of their athletes. The responsibilities of strength and conditioning coaches are not finished when the training session is completed; it goes beyond the walls of a building, or lines of a field/court.
Helping athletes to realize their potential in other areas, besides athletics, is something coaches should also foster as a part of their program.
Culture of Training Atmosphere
Athletes react positively or negatively to the actions and emotions around them. This becomes harmful if the coach uses negative reinforcement and/or disciplinary actions when such actions are not necessary. According to the recent Inter-Association Task Force on Preventing Sudden Death in Collegiate Conditioning Sessions, physical activity should never be used as a form of discipline, and coaches should not physically punish their athletes for infractions, poor athletic or academic performance, or bad behavior (2).
Such actions are never warranted, may cause physical harm, or decrease an athlete's willingness to train; not to mention the impact these actions can have on athletic performance. As mentioned previously, the primary role of strength and conditioning coaches is providing athletes a safe and healthy environment in which to train, which includes decreasing the likelihood of injuries in athletes, and not putting them in potentially harmful situations.
Strength and conditioning professionals should have experience working with individuals and teams in a fast-paced, energetic environment. However, coaches cannot be effective, positive influences if they put athletes through physical activity, or physical or mental abuse, as punishment for poor performance or bad behavior. Additionally, they should have a certification credentialed by an independent accreditation agency, such as CSCS®.
This certification should also have competency standards, ongoing assessment, and continuing education requirements, which creates a higher standard to which coaches are held (2).
What to Do if an Athlete Reports Abuse, Harassment, or BullyingIf an athlete reports an act of abuse, harassment, or bullying to a strength and conditioning professional, they should not attempt to provide counseling. They are not to give advice, but to listen to the athlete, mirror what they say to confirm understanding, and then refer them to an appropriate professional, and the authorities, if necessary (1,5). All such incidents or meetings should be documented (1).What to Do if You Suspect Abuse, Harassment or BullyingStrength and conditioning coaches should be aware of the potential signs and symptoms of abuse, harassment, and bullying which include, but are not restricted to: unexplained or unwarranted injuries, decline in performance, poor self-image, aggressive or disruptive behavior, depression, avoidance of certain places or individuals, and fear of certain peers or adults (5). These symptoms are non-specific and may be attributed to various causes. So, while they should be given serious consideration and follow-up, caution should be taken in ascribing them solely to abuse, harassment, or bullying (4,5).If a strength and conditioning professional suspects an athlete is being abused, harassed, or bullied, they should not attempt to provide counseling. They should instead refer their suspicions to an appropriate professional and supervisor immediately. All such concerns should also be well documented.

Link Partnerships – making them work
I often receive emails with requests to trade links at my company site; geysermarketing.com
It's amazing as to the types of 'Link Partnership' requests that I get on a daily, if not weekly basis. Anything from Insurance sites to Real Estate sites to Auction sites and Travel sites that have mostly nothing to do with any of the content or proposition that I offer or blog about.
Clearly these people don't get it. Isn't the point of link building to increase visibility in search engines and directories with internet users that actually might be looking for what it is that you have to offer? At least I thought that is what it was about.
I understand the importance of trading links and partnering with others sites and agree that it's a great way to build awareness and drive traffic, yet what kind of traffic are you trying to drive? What should you be offering up to your visitors, members, users or customers and where should a link to your site be placed exactly? This is a strategic and time consuming process and can only work if done the right way.
If you are thinking of building Link Partnerships, then follow the following 5 STEP process:
STEP 1: Develop some criteria (Brand, Offering, Reputation, Traffic, etc...) for your sites and other sites
STEP 2: Evaluate the market based on your criteria
STEP 3: Select sites that will likely want to partner with you based on your proposition, traffic and other key metrics
STEP 4: Take the time to prospect them and to strategically discuss opportunities
STEP 5: Be realistic in your negotiations for placement and strike the right balance
Mass link building efforts will not pay off in the end, as they may drive some traffic as of improved SEO rankings, but they will not ultimately drive quality traffic with users who will want to spend time on your site and visit your site regularly and engage with your brand and offering. Getting an endorsement from the right site takes time, smarts and the ability to execute and ensuring that ongoing maintenance occurs to keep the search engines like Google correctly spidering you and your partner sites. It requires various skill sets from messaging to business development to account management and you need to be 'Partner Friendly' to begin with. It's worth pursuing if you have all that going for you.
Ron Kunitzky, an expert in strategic business affiliations and partnerships is the founder of Geyser Marketing Group, and has successfully brokered partnership marketing programs for companies as varied as Coastal Contacts, Dell Computer, NASDAQ, and 1-800-GOT-JUNK?
5 Responses to "Link Partnerships – making them work"
What link partnership strategies would you suggest for new sites. My business is two months old and so I cannot be too picky when building link relationships. I do choose companies that my readers might find useful but other then that I don't have much leverage. What would you advise?
Hi Ron,
Well done article! We must be having the same experiences. I just wrote a very short rant for a real estate site about the link exchange requests I was receiving:
It amazes me that somebody trying to sell baby diapers at the retail level would want to try to convince me that my real estate social media crowd would be interested.
Hi Ron,
Having read your article reminds me an article about SEO's myths. ( Sorry, I cant remember the link )
It says that one of these myths is: "Our blog must be focus on a certain topic."
I just don't think that's right, and your article seems agree with me.
Or.. am I wrong??

I'm a fanatic about "The Wire", all five seasons. A rave-within-a rave for a major character in Season Five, Baltimore Sun City Editor Gus Haynes, played by Clark Johnson.
The role was written for him- which helps- but he took that leg up and vaulted through the season. (If you missed it, watch for the DVD release of Season Five.)
I've noticed him since he was an 20-ish actor on Canadian TV. He was the cute little brother of chanteuse Molly and actor Tabby... then the years passed.
Fiftyish looks great on Johnson. Gained some weight, lost some hair, got subtle instead of stud-muffiny. He has gravitas, an unhurried depth- somewhat like William Hurt, but hipper.
I read in the New York Times that his current focus is directing, but I'm eager for another turn in front of the camera. And since he has a house in Toronto, I'd love to run into him at the movies, or shopping for bok choy in Chinatown.

County may soon be hurting for doctors
Lower reimbursements, managed care blamed
More than one-third of local physicians plan to quit practicing here in three to five years and many others have already cut back on patient care, leaving some San Diegans struggling to find a doctor.
That's according to the San Diego County Medical Society, whose survey of physicians predicts a crisis.
"We're all afraid that if the situation continues to deteriorate, in five to 10 years this place will be a medical wasteland," Dr. James Grisolia, Hillcrest neurologist and society spokesman, said yesterday.
"Every day, we're hearing doctors say, 'I'm sorry, I'm packing up and moving East' or 'not accepting HMO patients or Medicare' or 'retiring early,' " he said.
Physicians blame declining reimbursements from HMOs, low Medicare and Medi-Cal compared with the rest of the country and greater pressures from managed care.
One example is trauma surgeon Geoffrey Risley, 40, who moved his practice to the Orlando, Fla., area last year.
San Diego County's "price-controlled environment was a hard place to make a living," he said. "My biggest problem was lower reimbursement combined with extremely high cost of living."
The medical society said Medicare pays $134 for a 60-minute consultation in San Diego, but $155 in San Francisco and $144 in Los Angeles. Medicare officials acknowledged that San Diego's reimbursement rate is the lowest in the state. Area rates are based on a formula that includes the cost of living in San Bernardino, Riverside and Imperial counties as well as San Diego County.
Low HMO reimbursements that are tied to Medicare compound the problem.
"There's a fire burning in our physician community, and in five years, when enough physicians have left, it's going to be a medical meltdown," said Tom Gehring, the medical society's chief executive officer.
Thomas A. Scully, administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, sympathized with the doctors' complaints.
"Spending (for doctors' Medicare fees) should be growing by 6.5 percent, especially because the number of seniors needing care is growing," he said. "Instead, it's increasing by only 1 percent, and physician reimbursement was cut 4.4 percent last year, another 5.4 percent next February."
However, not everybody agrees there is a physician exodus.
Walter Zelman, chief executive officer for the California Association of Health Plans, called the local survey "anecdotal."
"I'm not saying there's not a squeeze there," Zelman said, "but the stories we hear about doctors fleeing California are not borne out."
The medical society mailed the survey in August to 5,600 physicians, consisting of about 2,800 society members and 2,800 nonmembers, some of them retired. More than 1,125 active clinicians responded.
Among the survey's conclusions:
One-third of the doctors say they will retire, change professions or move in three to five years, and half of them will cut hours spent in patient care in one to three years. Of those who remain, one-third will reduce their hours.
Waits for specialists are growing: 32 days on average to see a urologist, 31 days for an obstetrician-gynecologist, 27 days for a neurologist and 26 days for a dermatologist.

Houston, Texas, Dec. 5, 2011 - Dresser-Rand, a global supplier of rotating equipment solutions to the oil, gas, petrochemical, power and process industries, is expanding its Turbine Technology Services facility in Houston, Texas to include a center of excellence for F-class rotor repair.
Dresser-Rand Turbine Technology Services currently has 88,000 square feet (8,175 square meters) under roof.
"In order to successfully repair the high-tech designs of F-class rotors, a fully equipped world-class facility complete with engineering capability and top technology are all required," said Dan Levin, general manager of Dresser-Rand Strategic Business Units for Gimpel® valves, Control Systems and Turbine Technology Services. "Our expanded repair facility in Houston has the capabilities needed to help clients better manage their rotors to meet or exceed the original design lives of those components."
The facility also provides high-quality repairs on mature and F-Class frame industrial gas and steam turbines and includes complete in-house coating capability, automated 5-axis laser welding, a metallurgical laboratory, a high capacity vacuum and conventional heat treating facility, and a machine and weld shop.
The facility is ISO 9001:2008 certified, providing clients with assurance that their utility gas and steam turbine repairs will be performed in compliance with the highest level of international quality control standards.
The new F-class rotor shop will add an additional 24,000 square feet (2229 square meters) with a 75-ton crane and 50 feet under hook, adequate for F-class rotors up to Frame 9. The newly expanded area will allow Dresser-Rand to provide service for all brands of industrial gas and steam turbine rotors, including blade replacement, un-stacking and re-stacking, balancing, and nondestructive testing.
"Combined with our world-class component repair and expert engineering staff, the addition of F-class rotor repair provides an important service alternative for North American operators," Levin said.
In addition to the Houston facility, Dresser-Rand is globally expanding its industrial gas and steam turbine repair capability. Locations in South America, Europe and Asia are currently being equipped with additional capacity, and personnel are being trained to provide regional repair solutions for clients around the world.
