Following on from our recent rebuttal of an opinion piece by the editor of UK consultancy site, YachtSponsorship, who asserted that while sailing sponsorship delivers exceptional ROI to brands, 'it doesn't sound like something that is good for the sport in the long term, especially if sailing wants to create long term fans', sponsorship experts have weighed in on the topic.
Crowds on South Head enjoy spectacular start to Rolex Sydney Hobart - 2012 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race
Previous stories: http://www.yachtsponsorship.com/2012/11/is-sponsorship-killing-sailing/
Author and veteran sailing commentator, Rob Mundle has more than 40 years professional experience in all facets of sailing, from reporting on several America's Cup editions to competing in the gruelling Volvo Ocean Race and three Rolex Sydney to Hobart events. He was founder of the Hayman Island Big Boat Series, and is an organiser of Australia's largest keelboat regatta, the Audi Hamilton Island Race Week.
Mundle is effusive about the positive impact of sponsorship on sailing as a recreational pastime and the sport at the elite level.
'Just look at the development that sponsorship funds,' he points out. 'The technology that flows down from racing to recreational vessels is important. Elite sailing is the test bed for the evolution of new technologies. Manufacturers build better boats and people buy them.'
Just look at the benefits of sponsorship to F1 motor racing, continues Mundle. 'The technology and innovations then flow on to the automotive industry.'
For this year's Rolex Sydney to Hobart, there were 300,000 people around the Harbour and many hundreds of thousands more watching on TV.
People get swept up in the emotion, the characters, challenges and quest of a big boat race, explains Mundle. 'It's exciting. Ocean racing captures the imagination. It's something people may dream about doing, but in reality, it's beyond them.'
The 2012 Rolex Sydney to Hobart secured massive TV coverage on the Seven Network, including blanket live coverage across all news channels of the start and finish, broadcast live as supermaxi, Wild Oats XI entered Sullivan Cove for the final burst to Hobart, aiming to break its own race record and doing so with a remarkable 1 day, 18 hours, 23 minutes, 12 seconds.
'At that point, Mark Richards told the team to get the Wild Oats sail up, because he realised they had uninterrupted TV coverage for the next half an hour. Where else would a brand be able to secure that kind of media exposure?'
With the upcoming America's Cup, August 21-26 this year, Mundle foresees even great public attention on sailing.
'America's Cup is a legendary race, regardless of whether Australians are competing. Who can forget that day in September 1983, when the whole country watched as Australia II crossed the America's Cup finishing line at Newport, USA.
'It was a defining moment in the history of Australian sport. Australia broke 132 years of American domination in the America's Cup and Aussies responded to that. Bob Hawke famously said: 'Any boss who sacks anyone for not turning up today is a bum'.'
This year's event, to be held in San Francisco, will feature what are being heralded as 'the world's fastest boats', the AC72, a performance multihull that has been designed to capture the imagination of a new generation of sailors.
Capable of top speeds in excess of twice windspeed, the AC72 is as thrilling to fans as it is to sail and will demand more of the crews than ever before. This athleticism and smaller crew size of 11 will make the 2013 America's Cup live up to its reputation as 'the toughest sporting event in the world'.
'It will be exciting. People will say 'I want to go sailing!' They won't all want to compete or buy multihulls, but they will be inspired to get into sailing at whatever level appeals to them.'
Mundle refers to the independent analysis of the Volvo Ocean Race (with naming rights sponsor, Volvo, said to have spent £30m for a four year deal) which states clearly the knock on effect of the race – the benefits to sponsors, host cities and the sport itself.
The race began life in 1973 as the Whitbread Round the World Race and is renowned as one of the Big Three events in the sport, along with the Olympics and the America's Cup. No sailor has won an Olympic gold medal, the America's Cup and the Volvo Ocean Race.
The VOR boasts such a diverse cast of characters, from the skippers, sailors and shore crew to the volunteers, staff and millions of race village visitors that the media is spoilt for choice with the plethora of story leads.
The post-race report presents a detailed re view of the global reach and multimedia impact of the Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12 – deemed the most successful edition in the event's nearly 40-year history.
In a nutshell, the study estimates the cumulative TV audience from 8,969 broadcasts as 1.55 billion. The increase in cumulative print readership between 2008-09 and 2011-12 as 41%, and online news articles from 4,240 different online outlets as 58,978.
41.6 million people visited the VOR website and the of?cial YouTube channel attracted eight million viewers. On Facebook there were over 206,000 Fans, and there were 16 million visits to the race tracker, generating 244 million page views.
2.9 million visitors enjoyed the hospitality and celebrations at the Race Villages from Alicante to Galway and there were 2,954 accredited journalists representing 86 different nationalities at the Race Villages and 21,959 corporate guests hosted at the Stopovers.
'The numbers are massive,' observes Mundle, referring to the report's claim that sponsors earn a 200-300% ROI.
'And in Spain, sport sponsorship is 100% tax deductible, so the incentive is very much there.'
From his own experience, the Audi Hamilton Island Race Week, for which Mundle is media director, it's as much about what sponsors do with their sponsorship as how much they pay.
'A brand can pay to buy an event, but then what they do to leverage that is crucial.'
Audi has been naming rights sponsor for eight years, with this year the final of that sponsorship period. Through a concerted media effort, inviting some of the world's best yachts, crews, celebrities, fashion identities and positioning the event as a 'must do' on the yachting calendar, Audi has achieved supreme mileage from its association with the event.
'Crews too are really starting to think about their sponsorships, and how to give them the exposure to all different markets that can be measured as ROI,' says Mundle.

It was never called "Booton". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boonton,_New_Jersey
SUSPENDS????!!! Kaul KILLED a patient when he was practicing in London! How was he ever licensed in NJ to begin with????
This is strikingly similar to the case of Hanit Dorwani, who was the public defender in the East Brunswick Municipal Court. He was arrested after it was discovered that he was demanding payments from the indigent clients he was supposed to be defending at no charge. He was disbarred and thrown in prison. I'm not so sure that Desai has the "connections" to get out of this. The NJ Supreme Court doesn't look too kindly on such behavior, and striped sunlight may be in his near future.
What is a "Crimal Drug"?
Spencer said, "Auto insurance is no different than any other insurance. . ." Actually, it's VERY different. Unlike life insurance or homeowner's insurance, PIP payment is subject to regulation by DOBI. The medical providers' real beef is with DOBI, not the insurers. As of August 10, 2009, DOBI adopted the Medicare payment scheme for PIP, trumping the AMA standard that had been in effect prior to that. Along with the Medicare system came things like NCCI Edits (the bundling of services into the payment of one single service) and ASC group codes on the fee schedule. There is NOTHING that any individual insurance company can do about that. It's the law. It's the stupid things that make insurance companies cry about "bleeding cash because of PIP" -- for example, I recently had a case where the carrier wanted to downcode a procedure charge on an ASC bill because the CPT code billed was higher than the service that the surgeon described in his report. So some genius at the insurance company decided to spend $1000 on an audit to support its position to recode the procedure from Code A to Code B. Problem: The fee schedule ASC group for both Code A and Code B was exactly the same, meaning the ASC gets paid the exact same amount of money regardless of which code it billed. The insurance company wasted $1000 for no reason. Another thing carrier will do is spend $1000 on a medical review in order to get out of paying for an MRI with a contract amount of $700. Even if the carrier wins, don't they lose?
As far as fraud goes, it's out there. I see it on a regular basis. There have been several doctors who've had their NJ licenses pulled because of their billing practices. But whether the issue is billing, medical necessity, or any other such dispute, the provider always has the right to take the carrier to binding arbitration (on assignment, of course). If the provider can convince the arbitrator of his/her position, the carrier will pay you (and your attorney).
Well, the legal fees don't go to her. That's just the county picking up the tortfeasor's legal fees. Skipy Weinstein gets 1/3 of the $200K. Don't blame HIM for that, that's how contingency fees work under state law.
I know Christina. Trust me on this, her damages went WAY beyond the knee injury. People who don't know her might find it easy to overlook such things, but this accident had a profound effect on her life. As for Skippy, he's a true gentleman of the bar. Kind, generous, and a friend to all who know him. I have every confidence in his ability to take care of her.
So. . . they made the correction. . .
"Latest appeal by murderess Wiley denied by N.J. Supreme Court"
Problem: This wasn't the Supreme Court. It was the Appellate Division. It's not the same thing. Once again, the SL has proven itself to be the Jack in the Box of Journalism.
This wasn't "punitive". It was a settlement. Punitives can only be awarded by a jury. They can't be made part of a settlement.
Regarding the issue of paying taxes, personal injury settlements are not taxable, either by the state or the Federal governments. Personal injury settlements are treated as compensatory, not as income. The only exception is when a jury awards PUNITIVE damages, which ARE taxable. This was a settlement. No jury was involved. She owes no taxes on this money.
What's a "Spleen Shredding Party"?
The municipality. But it's not that easy. Governmental entities have the benefit of qualified immunities up the ying-yang. You basically have to prove that the condition of the sidewalk killed you. At least twice.
Actually, there were two basic case law decisions governing sidewalk liability -- Stewart v. 104 Wallace Street, and Yanhko v. Fane. Yankho distinguished residential liability from commercial liability. What this decision does is put condo associations under the protection of Yanhko.
As for shoveling your sidewalk, Yanhko governs. A municipal ordinance requiring you to shovel your walk creates a duty from you to the town, not from you to any third party. It seems counter-intuitive, but there is logic behind it. The existence of a duty is not a jury issue, but an issue determined solely by the bench. Morrill v. Morrill.
How many HAVE to be targeted (and all the potential tragedy it entails) before Trenton wakes up to the stupidity of this "law"??
Apparently this frat was on probation and wasn't supposed to be pledging anyway.
Yet another "privileged class" of public employees finding out that it sucks to be like the rest of us? Oh, the humanity.
When I was growing up, the cool kids were the ones that scored a summer job on the boardwalk at Seaside. Kids had to complete for those jobs. I guess working on the Boardwalk isn't "cool" anymore.
And it's not just NJ. About 10 years ago, employers on the Outer Banks in NC started bringing in workers from Eastern Europe. Imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger handing you your dinner check and saying, "Have a nice day, y'all", and that's what it turned into.
There's no freakin' shrubbery at that intersection!! The northwest corner has a BANK, not a shrub!
And I disagree with 1369. If Joy had his emergency lights/siren activated, it was the other guy's fault. That's how it works with emergency vehicles. Joy legally had the right of way, regardless of whose light was red, green, yellow, blue or turquoise.

Moeller named new publisher of The Daily Courier
A 30-year newspaper veteran has been named the new publisher of The Daily Courier.
Wanda Moeller started her new role on Monday. She replaced Jake Volcsko, who was named a member of the Digital Team for Calkins Media, based in Pennsylvania.
Moeller will be responsible for the overseeing the entire operation of The Daily Courier, including thedigitalcourier.com and Rutherford County People — The Courier's total market coverage product. All are owned by Paxton Media, based in Kentucky.
"It is a different kind of challenge for me and this is a great family newspaper group," Moeller said.
Prior to joining The Daily Courier, Moeller served as General Manager of The Ashland Daliy Press in Ashland, Wisc. There, she was responsible for supervising staff, business development and directed the newsroom in the "Digital first, print best" philosophy.
Moeller also worked as general manager for newspapers in Hibbing, Minn., Hayward, Wisc., and editor for papers in Grand Rapids, Minn., Walker Minn., and Pella, Iowa.
"After shoveling 129 inches of snow every year, this is a nice change," Moeller quipped.
Moeller is a native of Iowa and graduated from Buena Vista University in 1982 with a BA in Mass Communications.
She has also worked with the American Press Institute on "Managing the Community Newspaper" and "Leadership for Middle Managers."
She said, initially, she will spend time evaluating the paper and learning more about the community of Rutherford County.
"We're going to look at the paper as a whole and see what our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges are," Moeller said. "We have readership challenges and we want to make sure we are covering news our readers want to read.
"We want to make sure we are touching our readers on a daily basis."

Network setup advice / help please
2 Macs (10.6.2), a Wireless Router Linksys WRT54GL, a D-Link ADSL2 Modem DSL-502T (genII).
At present the modem is set to DHCP disabled, and the router is the DHCP server. (I tried it the other way around also, but it would not work either)
The Router is in Router mode (v's Gateway mode).
The router has a Starting IP of 192.168.1.2
In Network Config. Airport, Ethernet and USB are all set to IPv4 using DHCP (not manually)
The current situation is that the wireless LAN is working perfectly, and the modem has an active connection to ADSL service. The modem and the router will not communicate, so I have no internet on airport (LAN)
The only way I can get internet to both Macs is to have one Mac plugged directly into the modem via ethernet, and the other plugged into the modem via USB.
How do I get the router (192.168.1.1) to talk to the modem (192.168.1.2)?
Is the ethernet cable form the router to the modem supposed to be plugged into one of the routers ethernet ports, or the Internet port? (I have read conflicting tutorials on this, and have tried both ways without success)
It it almost midnight here and I have been working on this all day, so if anyone does offer assistance, I thank you in advance, but I will not see the reply posts until tomorrow, just so you don't think that I can't be bothered responding.:Sleeping:
Well, first things first, press the reset button on the router and make sure every thing is plugged in correctly:
power > modem
power > router
ADSL > modem > router > mac 1 and/or router >mac 2
ok. Now, power cycle both the modem and the router then bring up the control page.
Out of the box, you should not have to set up anything except for wireless security and wireless channel, which is why you should reset the router.
Set the wireless security to wpa-2 and choose a secure passcode.
Set the wireless channel to whatever works best. They suggest 6 or 11. I always have the best luck with 11.
Unless you're working with dynamic IPs, you shouldn't have to change anything. I would use the modem to recieve your IP.
[QUOTE=Unless you're working with dynamic IPs, you shouldn't have to change anything. I would use the modem to receive your IP. [/QUOTE]
You have not said if I should delete my Network Connections in System Preferences and start from scratch? (I am new to Mac, and no networking experience) :(
My take is that Macs strive for a reliable connection and having a Linksys and a D link in series is going to give you drama unless you know how to fiddle with all the settings, and it probably will never work with iChat audio/video. Second issue is our Telecom gave out those D Links out like candy - any time you complained they gave u another one. A number of bods i have helped have had no troubles after we ditched the 502 - so that may be a good starting point.
Does the Linksys not have a modem?
Getting those 2 bits of hardware to play nicely is out of my scope - time for someone else to take over.
Acting on advice, I have now got this setup working perfectly as far as LAN and WAN are concerned. :D
Setup is:- Modem in Bridge Mode. Router as PPPoE handler, DHCP server, set in Gateway Mode.
The only remaining problem is that I cannot access the Modem for admin purposes. I have tried both USB and Ethernet cables, but the browser just times out tying to connect. :Grimmace:
Can anyone suggest a possible solution please?
Issue resolved, well as best as is likely with this piece of junk.
FOR THE BENEFIT of some other poor sucker who bought one of these:-
Turn everything off.
Plug the USB cable & the power cable only, into the modem.
Boot the computer.
Power up the modem and wait, and wait, and wait, until the USB light settles down & stops blinking.
Open a browser and follow std. procedure. It worked for me, but I will NEVER buy a D-Link product again. Total crap product.
The other work round i found is that with some of the brands of modem modem/router changes in settings could not be saved in Safari, so i now use Firefox just for dealing to my Linksys.
Thanks Collin.
As it happens, I did use Safari, despite having two other browsers. I'll try one of them.

Is he an idiot? I'm really starting to think they're there for the fixAwesome fight. I really liked the diversity in the combos that Hendricks was throwing and Robbie looked quite awesome tonight. This is the fight Robbie showed that he deserved to be in there as he nearly took the belt.
One of the other things I took away from this fight is that when GSP fought Hendricks, GSP won the contest (in terms of rounds, at least on the judges scorecards) but lost the fight (if you were looking at it as a whole). In this fight, Hendricks won the contest but Robbie won the fight in my eyes.
Johny, should Robbie ask everyone "look at both our faces and decide who won the fight"
Nonetheless, I enjoyed every moment of this fight... well except the last minute but he had to do what he had to do; the stakes were too high.
That judge was an idiot. I don't know what he was watching. If you judge the 2nd round a 10-8 then the 3rd round should've been a 10-7. Mind you, none of them deserved anything more than a 10-9.

You owe it to yourself to find out what it would be like with the ex. Otherwise, you'll be wondering forever, and will never be able to fully connect with your current b/f.
If you want him ditch the other guys first. Or else you are just another worthless w****.
Ignore this. Keep as many of the guys as you can. And regardless of how many you have, you are NOT a whore. You are a self-sustaining and self-actuated adult woman who knows exactly what she wants. Soooo go get it.
Ah the tease. You remember this because you did not have sex with him. You remember the intimacy (touching, kissing). You remember pushing the limit... You remember it because you did not have sex. Think of TV programs with sexual tension. Once the characters 'do it' well it's boring after that. If you want to rekindle a hot relationship, don't pick up where you left off. Start a fresh. See how long you can keep the sexual tease and tension going. And him being a guy, once he has done it his interest in you will wane. Keep him interested by tease and tension.
if you want him you should go for it
I agree with the last commenter. Please don't let some silly standard oppress you and keep you from what you want and what you need. If you want your ex, and he wants you, that's the ONLY math you need to do. Be discreet, stay clean (and make sure HE is), and use birth control. Other than that, go enjoy yourself and your man. (Yes: if your ex is still willing to be with you, he is "your man", he belongs to you. That is, you own him. And you should behave accordingly, honey.)
You're stupid and damaging - the last thing you should be doing is giving anybody advice, and that includes the person who posted this confession.
She needed some guidance, and some support. She is entitled to want what she wants, and to go out and get it. And she SHOULD go and get it.
im married but still sneak out and have the ex do me. nobody ever did me like he does and my husband is a very poor substitute. i mean hes okay but hes not as hung as my ex not as hot as my ex and hes not nearly as nasty. i would go let my ex do me every f****** day if i could get away with it. dont let societal rules stand in your way. if you want your ex, d***, go get your ex.
So what are you waiting for? Do you really think if you showed up to your ex's door and told him you wanted to f*** his brains out he would say no?
OMG I never saw it that way! Thank you :)

First and foremost, congratulations, Ryan, on you our your wife's newly adopted daughter, Isabella, from Columbia. What a wonderful, beautiful thing! (enjoy the bask of new parenthood- I wont scare you too much yet, but eventually, they become TEENS!!!)
Sorry, Bo, but Juan Valdez is a fictional character according to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Valdez
The 100+mpg estimate you read must be a mis-quote- the following article has Toyota claiming 65mpg in combined mode, compared with the 50mpg of the 2010 Prius: http://www.autoweek.com/article/20090202/CARNEWS/902029995
LOL! Really enjoyed the Charlie Brown spoof!
Also, thank you Shannon for the excellent research that you provide about the articles and studies brought up during this podcast.
I have a lot of confidence in EESTOR eventually delivering, as you already well know, but I must disagree with you Bo- it will take a good two years to start to see EESU's in large numbers in EV's. It is not just the engineering and electronics (oh- and their contract with LG-Chem for Li-Ion batteries)- the testing, especially the crash testing, will be extensive, especially initially, due to the high voltage contained within each EESU- people are going to want to know that it is safe, and GM, and others, are going to want to know it is safe to avoid lawsuits over such a new technology.
Lasty- y'all have a very, merry Christmas guys and gals!
OK the Charlie Brown EV thing is your best one yet. For those of us with a Christian background, the parallels are very well drawn out. I had my wife and two kids listen to it, everyone loved it, or at least stayed until the end.
Wow. I like the fact that the chevy volt is coping with technology by connecting to blackberry applications. I just hope the center caps can adjust with it.

Alana's post on Haim Saban's disenchantment with President Obama quotes Saban as saying that he does not understand why Obama has not visited Israel:
I'm very perplexed as to why the president, who's been to Cairo, to Saudi Arabia, to Turkey, has not made a stop in Israel and spoken to the Israeli people. . . . I believe that the president can clarify to the Israeli people what his positions are on Israel and calm them down. Because they are not calm right now.
This is the same message Obama has received—and ignored—three years in a row.
In 2009, with a single-digit percentage of Israelis believing Obama was pro-Israel, the prominent Haaretz commentator Aluf Benn took to the op-ed page of the New York Times to suggest Obama deliver his message directly to Israelis, noting that he had spoken to Arabs, Muslims, Iranians, Western Europeans, Eastern Europeans, Russians, and Africans—but not Israelis. Benn urged Obama to visit Israel. But Obama's message was already fairly obvious, and no trip materialized.
In 2010, Obama met with 37 Jewish Congressional Democrats, who asked him to travel to Israel. A group of friendly rabbis went to the White House and urged the same thing, saying they were not confident that he "feels Israel in his kishkes." In a joint press conference a couple months later, Netanyahu personally invited Obama, and Obama responded he was "ready"—but no trip followed. It was obvious for several reasons that Obama would not go.
This year various people or groups suggested Obama go; some expected he might announce a visit in his AIPAC speech last Sunday, but he did not. He needed to use the occasion for damage control from his latest attempt to humiliate the Israeli prime minister (having announced a U.S. position on negotiations without consulting him, rejecting his strenuous objections after giving him a few hours notice, and proceeding with the announcement without waiting to meet with him the next day).
Saban suggests Obama can visit Israel and "clarify to the Israeli people what his positions are." But what we got here is not a failure to communicate. It has been clear for quite a while exactly what Obama feels in his kishkes.

There is no other way to describe this new layout than -- GOD AWFUL. There is no reason for the headlines to be so BOLD, your eyes strain trying to learn headlines. The old design was 100% fine. Nice and simple, now you have ads ALL OVER, did a 4th grader design this site!?!? Revert back to the old site.
Hmmm .. Maybe if they worked on turning double plays instead of messing with each others clothes they could put a product on the field that their fans (paying customers) could actually watch.
Boo-Hoo ... Im sorry that 7.5 MILLION dollars to play a game and 40 million in the last 4 years does not satisfy Mr. Revis
I like it ... Marty has proven he can still play. He took less money with the last contract so the team could be competitive and he deserves 2 years. 4.5 million a year is very fair for a guy who will probably play 60 games again with at least 30 wins.
I like it
At 9 to 10 million per season - sorry Zach, thanks for the memories, but goodbye!
What these kids did was definitely WRONG and it was heartbreaking to watch that video. But she is going to end up getting over a MILLION DOLLARS. Ridiculous.
Hospital? How about JAIL!
Sykora said today he is 100% committed to playing in the NHL next season and he only wants to play for NJ. However I don't think the Devils should re-sign him.
Right now you have 28 million in cap space
6-8 million for Parise
4 million for Marty
2 Million for Moose
1 million each to 4th line = 3 million
5 million for Ryan Suter
These are all MAX and this still leaves 8 million for backup / reserve players and gives you a full roster. So long Janssen and Bulton I would like to see the entire 4th line back together all of next year.
Marty could even sign a 2 or 3 year deal at this point
Is this really cost effective? There are hundreds of thousands of people who do not have EZ PASS who pass through tolls every day. Thats millions of dollars in postage every year for this type of system?
They are not winning this series. They may get lucky and win a game or two but not 4 straight. Just let LA close it out now and let their fans see them win the cup. If they drag them back to NJ and LA wins the cup in our building that will be more heartbreaking.
Seriously? One guy is wearing an unbuttoned untucked polo short with a ski-cap to his prom? Embarrassing.
Not worth anywhere near 9 million. If he wants to sign for 6 great, if not see ya. He is a good player, but having Kovalchuk and using that money for 2 high-level players would not be a bad thing.
Florida has lost 6 in a row and has 2 wins in the last 10. Play them, build some confidence, then play whoever comes along. It is important for this team to get past the first round and build momentum and confidence. I think playing Florida gives us the best chance to do that .
Don't think so. You put me between Zach and Kovy and I can get 45 points.
Zidlicky .... Not looking for a fight here, or to get trashed, just an honest adult conversation.
Does it rub anyone else the wrong way this guy basically gets run out of MN and he does NOT take part in the optional morning skate this morning? Wouldn't he want to a) Get to know his new teammates, and b) Show his coach, GM, etc that what happened in MN is a fluke and he is a good teammate.
Maybe it would have helped some of the turnovers and bad plays he made tonight. Unimpressed so far, but I understand there is plenty of time to go.
Don't really like what I read here. 85-90 wins? Not saying we are going to win a championship. It seems that even Terry has written the team off even before the season started. Anything can happen and Terry and the team need to keep the expectations high.
Yet another example of the Devils not being honest with the fans/media when it comes to injuries. Yesterday he was "just resting". Just like Zajac was "day to day". I bet Henrique will eventually need surgery or miss significant time.

Andrus Named First Team All-America by the CRCA
SALEM, ORE. -- The Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA) recently announced its NCAA Division III Pocock All-America Team for the 2009 season. Willamette University's Hilary Andrus (Jr., Chimacum, WA/Chimacum HS) was among the players named First Team All-America.
The CRCA made its selections based on a short list of criteria: strength of schedule, regular season record, end of season regatta results, nomination rank, coach's comments, and 2,000-meter erg score.
Andrus is a co-captain on this year's squad. This summer, she will participate in the U.S. Rowing Women's National Team Pre-Elite Camp in Indiana. She was named All-Northwest Collegiate Rowing Conference this season after helping the Bearcats tie for second place in the women's team standings at the NCRC Championships. She also contributed to the Willamette women's varsity 8+ earning a #9 national ranking and a trip to the NCAA Division III Championships.
Willamette's WV8+ took fourth place out of seven boats at the NCRC Championships, as the Bearcats finished behind three other nationally ranked teams from Western Washington University, the University of Puget Sound and Seattle Pacific University. WU also placed fourth behind the same three boats at the Western Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships.
Joining Andrus as First Team All-America selections were Natalie Jones (Trinity College), Katie O'Driscoll (Ithaca College), Nicole Ritchie (Bates College), Katherine Robinson (Williams College), Sam Smith (Williams College), Elizabeth Stokes-Cawley (St. Lawrence University), Eliza Van Lennep (Smith College) and Allison Prevatt (Williams College).
Andrus was the only athlete from the West coast to be named First Team All-America. Kat Jenkins of Pacific Lutheran University was named Second Team All-America. Overall, 18 NCAA Division III women's rowers received All-America honors.

Hi Chris, are you related to or have any info. on the Dunhams listed below? My grandmother is Wilma. I have yet to research the Dunham family?
Jefferson Dunham + Sofia William Cady
Fremont Cady Dunham + Ella Martin
Marguerite Martin Dunham + William D. Walker
Wilma Dunham Walker Libbey
I have both of those and I have the marriage application on its way from Denver Public Library should be here in 2-3 days via us mail. I hope it sheds some light.
I had trouble opening several Universalist and one Methodist church article. As near as I can tell the problem obtains for all on the list.
In your column for Aug. 4, 2010 you list various churches for which there are articles in the Lewiston Eve. Journal. I have looked at several and find them unreadable and unprintable. Do you know what procedure may open them up?
Thank you so much. I never would have found this in a zillion years. You are so good at this. I so appricate your taking the time to find this for me...
Oh thank you very much....I was haveing a problem their with that, but I thought I saw that you had a link or connection to the Fox Family up in Fortfair Field, Eaton area.
Chris are u connected to the Luney Family from Westfield, Maine and If so do you have any information on Lizzy Fox and her husband Frank Shorey married around 8 Nov 1919. Frank was born sometime in 1853 and came down from Canada. Lizzy is from canada to. They had sons Melvin and Erman and may have had other children. Any information you could give would be greatly appriciated.
Dear Chris, how did you find out this information so quickly? Do you have any more information about William Wood, where he was from etc., also if you knew, Lucius Henry Woods. On Lucius' death certificate he names Lemuel as his father. According to vital records, Lemuel had three sons and one daughter who died. I can not find the connection between Lemuel and Lucius. I did read that there was a Lucius Brainard where Lemuel was living but the dates of birth do not line us with Lucius' birth. I can't find a birth certificate for Lucius. Death cert. says he was born in Charlestown with Lemuel's other sons but Boston does not have anyone with that name and date of birth. 1869 January. He would be the same age as Percival Lemuel's son. I would love to think he adopted his young cousin but the DOB does not line up. thanks again for filling in some blanks, I was stuck!
Thanks so much for the newspaper article you posted for me. I am definitely interested! You've been a great help to me and I've been promoting this site on my blog (I just started in late February) and by word of mouth.
Hi Chris,
I am curious how you are related to the Coolidge line. The newest addition to the Coolidge Clan from Bethel is my grandson. I will try to go to your website and see if anything rings a bell.

This is absolutely absurd. If a child doesn't turn in an assignment, of course they should get a zero on the assignment. Do no work, get no credit. If you want credit, do the work. That is a very simple principle that has worked in school systems for generations.
If a student doesn't take an exam, what grade should they get? I say they should get a zero, because they have demonstrated no mastery of the subject. Is that not reasonable? What other score would you give them? There is nothing punitive about an "F" or a zero, it is simply a reflection of the comprehension that a student demonstrates.
"No reasonable and prudent person in the education or stakeholder community would endorse the idea that a 20 percent achievement level is sufficient to pass a course." Mr. O'Donnell, you must not be a reasonable or prudent person, because you seem to be saying that a student who demonstrates mastery of 20% of the material on a test should receive a "D." Or are you suggesting that a "D" is also a failing grade. That will sure confuse people.
Your argument makes no sense. Balanced grading makes no sense.
Well put, Kesa. I am appalled at Hillsboro School District's balanced grading policy. It makes absolutely no sense in so many ways, and its rewarding students for poor performance is ridiculous. In effect, it renders all grades given to HSD students meaningless. I am very concerned about the implications that this policy will have for students' work habits and college entrance for years to come.

Teacher Retirees: These are our people. This was us. Join me at CPS this afternoon.
Dore Elementary on south side of Chicago.
Dear Retired Colleagues,
This morning I walked over to my neighborhood school in Logan Square.
Darwin Elementary.
It is a large red brick school house. 100 years old.
One of my daughters went to that school 35 years ago.
35 years ago!
It is a community school. A neighborhood school. But it doesn't serve the whole neighborhood. Logan Square is what they call a changing neighborhood. It is gentrifying.
Mostly working class Hispanic parents send their kids to Darwin.
At 6:30 this morning Darwin's staff were out marching around the block, carrying signs and chanting.
They probably woke up a few of Darwin's neighbors.
The whole city is waking up.
This mayor has only been in office a year and he is turning my city into crap.
Neighborhood violence is sky-rocketing.
And our teachers are on strike for the first time in 25 years.
Whose fault? His fault.
I watched last night as CPS board president David Vitale, shaking with nervousness, tried to make the last offer sound reasonable.
I have been at too many negotiating tables not to read his body language. The tremble in his voice. The sweat on his brow.
Nobody representing the teachers of this city could have accepted that offer with any conscience.
Karen Lewis, Jesse Sharkey and the rest of the CTU leaders have a conscience.
They said that they are not far apart on money. But fair work rules, decent health care benefits, reasonable working conditions, class size, the misuse of testing, evaluations procedures. These all matter too.
Matter more.
This afternoon teachers will leave their school's picket lines and head for 125 South Clark Street. CPS headquarters. 3:30.
If you are a retired teacher in the sound of my voice, put on a red shirt and meet me there.
These are our people.
This was us.

I also am a retired CPS teacher and I will also be wearing my red shirt until the strike is settled in a fair and respectful way. That could be a long time.
Rahm continues to bully, to vilify, to condescend. And he thinks this is productive. He is a highly disturbed person but so little mental health is available in IL anymore that I am not sure where he will get help. This strike could be the mother of all strikes. But it is time for the educated, intelligent middle class to stand up to the abuse of those like rahm and his wealthy friends. Hopefully this will become a national event and force Obama to take a stand. He's either with us or against us. No side lines anymore. No compromise anymore. No fancy speeches anymore. Action or failure.

I just returned from New Orleans this evening, and so missed your call. BUT–I have been talking to EVERYONE there (& wherever else I have been traveling) about this, and–to a person–they voice SUPPORT for the CTU! (If any of y'all have been reading about NOLA, their education system has been going privatized/charterized & crazy-tized.) What have you done, Paul Vallas? (And he's now doing it in Connecticut where, by the way, the state
teachers' union has voiced its support of the CTU.)
Louisiana (LA)– Jindal country– is where they'd opened a charter school where kids were taught–by DVD! A charter school where kids were taught (strictly)–creationism, not science! And, of course, I could go on & on. Illinois, be thankful for one thing–we don't
have John White as state supt.!
(P.S.–Read "Diane Ravitch's Blog" if you don't/can't believe this. We can't make this stuff up!)

Our hotel didn't provide us with breakfast and I was more than glad that they didn't. Who needs hotel breakfast when there are array of cheap and delicious local delicacies awaiting for me to savour?
Searching for breakfast in Krabi town was a bliss! On our first morning in Krabi, we were rushing for time because of our morning Phi Phi Island trip, hence we didn't walk too far to look for food. Right around the corner, I spotted a noodle shop from afar. With the neatly arranged trays of meat and pork spare parts and the fresh greens displayed at the stall, it looked so promising.
I was even more convinced when I spotted these laminated newspaper cuttings. Luck must be on my side for discovering this gem! For those who are interested to try, I am sorry that I didn't manage to get the address but if you are staying in City Hotel (recommended), turn right at the hotel entrance, go straight till you reach the first junction and turn right. Go straight and you will see this shop on your left which is right next to a Roti Canai shop.
I was grinning when my bowl of vermicelli soup was put in front of me. Generous servings of minced porkballs, slices of tender pork meat, soft pork stomach and chunky cubes of pig's congualated blood. Despite pointing at the pork liver and intestine and said NO NO...the boss still put some into my portion. Luckily Hubby who doesn't eat the congualated blood happily swap it with my pork liver and intestine.
I expected the soup to be rich with pork flavour but I was very disappointed. Bland and diluted. I suspect we were too early since it was only 7.00 a.m. But don't worry cos the fish sauce saved the meal. After a dash or two, ok, make it three and four, the porky soup turned to octopus flavoured soup! I am so in love with fish sauce!
On our 2nd morning, we decided to visit the local wet market as I wanted to get some fish sauce and glutinous rice to bring home. I love visiting wet market whenever I travel and am so glad that the Maharaj Market is located just 5 minutes walk away from our hotel. Hubby told me that Maharaj Market is the biggest market in southern Thailand.
Apart from perishable products like veggies, fruits and meat, we also found the back portion of the market was filled with row after row of food stalls and with plenty of chairs and tables for diners to eat on the spot! It was fun strolling from one row to another to check out the goodies before making a decision on what to have.
I was torn between the fresh fish fillet porridge stall with long long queue and the ever-tempting pork knuckle rice. In the end, I couldn't resist the pork temptation.
I was glad that the pork knuckle rice didn't disappoint us. The meat was tender and the gravy was good. It was served with braised egg, boiled kailan and salted pickled vegetables. It was delicious!
I have been eyeing this pork noodle shop located right opposite my hotel since day 1. I told Hubby that no matter how full I am, I would regret if I don't give it a try.
I would really kick myself if I didn't try. It turned out SO good! The soup was flavourful even without any added fish sauce. It was so aromatic, guess why? Crispy lard was added into the soup!!! The meatballs were bouncy and the pork fillet was sweet and tender! I enjoyed the noodle and at the same time, busy complimenting the owner for the noodle. I gave my thumbs up to the owner on my way out.
Last morning in Krabi was a bit sad as we spent the 3rd night in Ao Nang which is catered more for Caucasian tourists. It was almost impossible to locate local food for breakfast and I was against the idea of having American breakfast at premium price. Suddenly I recalled of the bread I saw in 7 Eleven the night before and so we grabbed this for breakfast "Shredded Pork with Mayonaise Sandwich".
I didn't expect the bread to be so soft! The fillings were awesome too! Probably with all the good food I had for the past couple of days, I became very contented with simple plain bread.
I am excited with the drafting of my next post. Why? Because it was the most memorable and exciting experience I ever had in my life. For this, I will definitely return again in near future. So, please drop by here again soon!

simplegirl: Fish sauce is important to the Thais, just like how soya and oyster sauce is important to us Chinese. I love fish sauce and I don't think i can cook without it now. I stocked up 2 big bottles, hope that would last till my next trip.
tummythoz: All these food were from Krabi town. Seafood will be featured in coming posts when we moved to Ao Nang, the seaside area for a night stay. Be patient...coming soon! Pork not good meh??

Jun: Thank you thank you. One of my greatest achievement in 2008! But one time is enuff to satisfy my curiousity.
Linda: Harlow!! Thank you for your support and for your first comment too! Yes, I enjoyed Krabi and Phuket very much. Missed the market...i guess good excuse to go again soon?
NJoe: Ermm...when language fails...can always point at the food you want with a nod and food you don't want with a big 'no-no' hand shake.
kenny mah: Hehe. I guess am very lucky to have a very compatible travel companion who enjoys the same food and activities as I do. Hubby that is! The only trip I didn't quite enjoy was Siem Reap, that is why till now I have not blogged about it, and probably would not.
Cynthia: Hahaha...you are so so funny. I told my Hubby what you wrote and he too couldn't stop laughing. Well, I do agree Asian breakfast is pretty much more interesting in terms of variety. Do hope you will come over to this part of the world one day to give it a try.
Nic: I LOVE SOFTBREAD! Especially those pillowy soft type. High 5!!!

Kendra Wilkinson's Father-in-Law Says Divorce Rumors Are 'Crap'
RadarOnline.com reports sources close to the couple, including Kendra's mother, have also shot down rumors of any true marital break.
"The marriage is fine, and they came to the decision together that they'd be both better off with him concentrating on his career and she could concentrate on her career here in LA," mother Patti Wilkinson told Radar recently.
A source close to Kendra similarly reassured PopEater in November 2010, saying: "Kendra has been an amazing wife and mom, but she had to make a real adjustment in her life and career last year to live in Indianapolis when Hank signed with the Colts. Now, he is with Minnesota, which is so cold, remote and far away from LA. She had to make a decision despite having disagreements with Hank about it."
Wilkinson, 25, and Baskett, 28, have a 1-year-old son named Hank. Baskett is a wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings.
"It's a joke," Radar's source says of split rumors. "There are no plans on getting a divorce. They're going to be out and about at events in Los Angeles."
Looks like the source was right -- this story's image of Kendra and Hank was snapped yesterday, Jan. 5, in West Hollywood.
Update: HollywoodLife reports that Baskett and Wilkinson are living together again in LA, with the Vikings' season having wrapped. "And, according to our source, the couple is even looking to buy a new home together," the site writes.

Indianapolis is further from L.A. than Minnesota is, so this makes little sense.

Divorce is imminent! Was he that blindsided to begin with? Is not like she hid the fact that she was a skank from the time she met him. She slept was Heff like all the other "bunnies" for the same reason a prostitute has sex - for the money. Do the running man Hank!
- Friday 07 JanuaryBy Amber
Of course I'm biased because I have been born and raised in MN and haven't lived anywhere else - but "remote"? Hate to break it to you honey, but if you can't be happy living with your husband in one state, you won't be happy living together anywhere. Pulling a "geographical" isn't going to solve any marital problems.
- Friday 07 January
I would definatly agree that is crap I can not see how Kendra and Hank are splitting up in any way at all. I have always liked Kendra and think her show was actually good even though alot don't like it. Hank is a good guy and she is lucky to have him and he treats her well. out of most celebs these two look like they are here to stay and a bright future for them and their son

Everyone is blaming her? Lets not forget the likes of Koby, James Worthy, Lawrence Taylor and so many other athletes while out on the road...Maybe there is more to the story than reported. If I were her, I would want out of MN myself (been there twice, but never again), and if I had a career, I would think twice before giving in to a football player.

They say opposites attract, and in this case they deffinately do!! I love Kendra and Hank. I love the show. I hope they can work out their differences!

I can't imagine any news being more irrevelent! Our economy is in the dumps, millions unemployed, and we should care if these people exist, much less divorce. Get Real...this is garbage, not news.

Look at the pictures ... does this seem like a couple that really wants to be together in the true sense of together, or do the photos scream "photo op"? I vote "photo op". If you're that much "in love", you hold each other and have hands on each other ... I ain't seein' that at all.

IT sad to say but you guy are so ignorant !!! first of all who gives a crap if she was a playmate, and a wife and a mother.she is a great person. who has been through alot in life . she is human . i think you guys are being unfair about the things you are saying a about someone life.One thing i can say is her husband is a really man and half you guys out there dont have the balls. for once in you life guys instead of trashing a women . worry about yourselves. sorry to say but everybody that trashes about another celebrity wishes they happy the life and a hot women next to them.

Hank is a lousy football player. Without that measly salary, he won't be able to keep Kendra in the lifestyle she likes. Divorce is around the corner.

I don't know what Dad sees, but I know what I see.
She has that "What-have-I-got-myelf-into-moving-around-the-country-with-a-ball-player-and-a-baby" look in her eyes. Maybe the scenes were not aired in my part of the country, but the interaction between her and the little one are almost nil. I feel sorry for Hank and the baby .. more for the baby, becaue it didn't have a choice to be brought into that situation. He did.
- Saturday 22 JanuaryBy Annah
Well, I beg to differ!!! I absolutely adore Kendra and she earned my respect when she left Hef. It was a really bold decision because she could have stayed there forever for the sake of the moolah. I love her and I hope they will last forever with Hank...

kendra never had nothing so be it and never will. she is trashy white trash girl. phoney laugh that is all i can say she is CHEAP and wannabee black girl. LOL

I love Kendra :) I'm so glad that the rumors are false. I think she and Hank make a good couple. Sure, she make act a little ditsy, but that's who she is, and if she can make money at it then go for it. I don't agree with everyone bashing her. She is just like everyone else except she has the spotlight on her. Back off jealous ppl!!!
And as far as the sex tapes and porn goes, she put herself there and if she's not ashamed then leave her alone. As far as ppl getting all over Hank for who he married, get over that too. he knew exactly who he was marrying, and I think he is fine with it or he wouldn't have married her :)
Gooooo Kendra!!!! :)

Read Poems by
Miranda Matthews
When I look in the mirror,
I ask who is that,
That person looking back at me,
I don't know them do you?
Is that who I have become?
If it is I hate who I am,
How did I become this?
I thought you're supposed to like who you are,m
Because if you are then I'm doing something wrong.
I can barley look in the mirror,
When I do I wanna scream,
I wanna smash the mirror into pieces,
I feel like the mirror is trying to trick me.

Phonak and Artofthestory are thrilled to announce the winner of our Healthy Hearing contest. Picking one story from all the entries wasn't easy. We chose Paige Stringer who founded The Global Foundation fro Children with Hearing Loss.
The organization has been raising the standard in deaf education and services in Vietnam since 2010. I was so inspired by all of the submissions, but Paige's story stood out because she has truly dedicated her life to the hearing health cause.
Each contest entry was carefully evaluated according to three criteria: 1) How compelling the story is; 2) How it communicates a need to address hearing health; 3) How positive/uplifting the story is. She will receive a $25,000 prize from Phonak, and her winning story will be turned into a short film by our production team. The film will be featured on Phonak-us.com and ArtoftheStory.com later this year.

STANFORD, Calif. -- Junior Jeremy Johnson continued his early season success on Saturday night, placing third at the 33rd annual Stanford Invitational to lead the University of New Mexico men to a sixth place finish (181 points) in the 19-team field. Johnson completed the 8,000-meter course at the Stanford Golf Course in a career-best 23:40, just nine seconds behind the winner, Stanford All-American Neftalem Araia.
The former Albuquerque Manzano High School standout defeated several notable runners including Cardinal All-American Jonathan Pierce (fifth), Big West Conference champion Chris Ashley (eighth) and two-time all-Big West honoree Mike Chavez (fourth), both of UC-Santa Barbara. Johnson sliced 31 seconds off his previous best in the 8K, which he ran as a true freshman at New Mexico back in 2002.
An all-Mountain West Conference runner on the track last winter, Johnson spent a year and a half at Arizona, before returning to UNM in 2005. He sat out last fall due to NCAA transfer regulations.
The UNM women also placed sixth (164 points), led by senior Timmie Murphy's seventh place finish. Murphy completed the 6K course in career-best 20:40, 26 seconds faster than her previous best, which she recorded last year in a third place finish at the MWC Championship meet. The Farmington, N.M. native edged Stanford All-American Lindsay Flacks by one second and was 37 seconds behind the winner, the Cardinal's six-time All-America honoree Arianna Lambie.
Junior Leslie Luna turned in a strong race of her own, placing 20th - 44 spots higher than she finished last year at Stanford - with a time of 21:38. Freshman Vanessa Ortiz, meanwhile, continued her development with a 35th place finish (22:08). Juniors Melanie Velarde and Sheyenne Lewis placed 49th (22:32) and 64th (22:57), respectively, to cap the UNM scoring. Velarde was 119th at Stanford last year, while Lewis was 159th.
Senior Roxann James (99th - 23:56) and rookie Rachelle Billlie (108th - 24:39) rounded out the Lobos' finishers.
Back in the men's race, senior Juan Ortega clocked a career-best 8K time of 24:21 en route to a finish of 23rd - 46 spots higher than the previous year at Stanford. Junior Joseph Garcia placed a solid 41st with a time of 24:53 - three seconds off his personal best.
Freshman Jason Petty was fourth on the team (90th - 25:40) and junior Chris Bratton was the Lobos' fifth and final scoring runner (101st - 25:50). Rookies Alex Willlis (126th - 26:17) and Brian Vallie (133rd - 26:24) completed the New Mexico top-7.

Wind Power
Wind power is the conversion of wind energy into a useful form, such as electricity, using wind turbines. At the end of 2008, worldwide nameplate capacity of wind-powered generators was 120.8 gigawatts.[1] Although wind produces only about 1.5% of worldwide electricity use,[1] it is growing rapidly, having doubled in the three years between 2005 and 2008. In several countries it has achieved relatively high levels of penetration, accounting for approximately 19% of electricity production in Denmark, 10% in Spain and Portugal, and 7% in Germany and the Republic of Ireland in 2008.
Wind energy has historically been used directly to propel sailing ships or converted into mechanical energy for pumping water or grinding grain, but the principal application of wind power today is the generation of electricity. Large scale wind farms are typically connected to the local electric power transmission network, with smaller turbines being used to provide electricity to isolated locations. Utility companies increasingly buy back surplus electricity produced by small domestic turbines. Wind energy as a power source is favoured by many environmentalists as an alternative to fossil fuels, as it is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean, and produces lower greenhouse gas emissions, although the construction of wind farms is not universally welcomed due to their visual impact and other effects on the environment. The intermittency of wind seldom creates problems when using wind power to supply a low proportion of total demand. Where wind is to be used for a moderate fraction of demand, additional costs for compensation of intermittency are considered to be modest.[2] From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
