Kansas Hurdles Coach, Elisha Brewer, discusses the importance of Dynamic Stretches and how each stretch contributes to the flexibility of hurdling. While each event in track and field requires some level of flexibility, the hurdles are the one running event that puts your body in it's most unnatural position, thus requiring the need to be flexible. Coach Brewer discusses how each movement increases flexibility necessary to become a successful hurdler.
The drills begin with some basic & movements that are directly related to hurdle movements and progress to some more complex movements that focus more on stretching out the lower back and hamstrings. She begins with "High Knee Pulls" which focuses directly on stretching the lower back and hamstrings, two parts of the body where flexibility are key to become a successful hurdler. From here she rolls right into the "Groin Stretch", "Hip Circles", and the "Heel/Toe Walk."

An article about Joey Porter appeared in today's Sentinel. He was quoted as saying:
"Obviously I'm not going to be walking into the game under the same circumstances as I thought I'd be walking under. I thought I'd be walking in and we'd be about 7-2. They'd be about 7-2, and it'd be a blockbuster. So I can't be the same guy I thought I was going to be out there on that day. But I can still come ready to play. I just can't talk as much as I wanted to."
Okay, this is week 12 of the NFL season, and the Dolphins will be playing their 11th game. So 7 and 2? Really?

Well, the title of this post makes this post sound bad but really it's not:-) We have been home from Panama for over a month. It was a bit of a world wind when we arrived. Coming home in December landed us smack in the middle of Christmas season. As many of you know, we had left our home pre-decorated for Christmas when we left in October! We just had to decorate the Christmas tree and put up our outdoor decorations. We did most of our shopping online from Panama and our friends and family were gracious enough to pick up all the packages!
We had a wonderful Christmas together just the four of us in our home. It was a great time to talk and reflect over our time in Panama. We all had our moments of doubt while there but we all came to the same conclusion: God is faithful! We are so blesses to get to spend so much time together as a family. We have been overwhelmed with the opportunities God has put before us as a family. We don't know any other families who get to do what we have the privilege of doing. We know this is a privilege not a right. We must always remember that this is not an option for everyone. God opened the door for us and we never looked back. We are truly overcome with gratefulness when we consider where we could have been, this life is so much better than anything we could have come up with on our own.
In the new year we are continuing to improve our family. We have dubbed ourselves Marmion 2.0! I have launched a new career teaching group exercise classes. You can visit my website at: www.greatworkfitness.com. I am having a great time meeting lots of new people in our community. Health is so important and I am so excited to play this little part. Rob will continue to work in commercial photography. He will slow his pace a little but will increase his portfolio throughout the year. Elijah is working on working through some personal things. As you remember last year our son was discharged from therapy after nearly 11 years! He has grown in leaps and bounds and continues to punch his demons in the face. He is the bravest boy we know. Alexa is tackling her first attempt at learning to play an instrument. She has chosen the guitar and is very excited to play. She started lessons and should be playing songs shortly, according to her instructor. She is also looking forward to playing spring ball (softball).
2013 is looking great to Marmion 2.0! Our prayer is that your goal this year is to slow down and take the time to live your life the way you want it. Don't let others take your dreams from you. Set your sights high, you have God on your side and he cares for you. He wants you to succeed in everything that will benefit you. Luke 18:27 tells us "what is impossible for people is possible with God". Dream big and soar high! Many blessing in 2013

Pre-Market: Apple Inc. Debt Sale Could Be Second Largest Ever; AstraZeneca Rejects Pfizer's Acquisition Offer
Alex Brokaw
Asian stocks decline for a third session.
Stock futures were higher ahead of Monday's session. Before the opening bell,
Dow Jones
(INDEXDJX:.DJI) futures rose 0.37% to 16,387. Futures on the
(INDEXSP:.INX) were up 0.33% to 1,866.20.
(INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) futures moved higher, rising 0.27% to 3,540.
Apple Inc.
(NASDAQ:AAPL) is
for a massive $17 billion bond sale. It is slated to be the second largest corporate bond sale ever. Apple will use earnings from the debt sale to fund a $90 billion share buyback, choosing not to use its $150 billion stash of cash. Most of that cash is held outside the US, and Luca Maestri, Apple's incoming finance chief, explained during Apple's earnings call last week that repatriating that cash would drive significant tax consequences. Maestri went on to explain Apple's domestic cash has declined by $1 billion since 2013, and he wants to retain "sufficient domestic liquidity" to help grow the business and fund future acquisitions.
it made an offer to purchase
(NYSE:AZN) for $76.62 a share in cash and stock in January. After AstraZeneca rebuffed the offer, claiming Pfizer had severely undervalued the London-based company, Pfizer came back with a second bid this past Saturday. AstraZeneca rejected that, too. Shares of AstraZeneca were up 16.78% in pre-market trading, while Pfizer trailed behind, up 1.63%.
General Electric
(NASDAQ:GE) CEO Jeff Immelt will meet with France's President Francois Hollande in Paris today to
the details of GE's proposed $13 billion acquisition of French engineering group
(EPA:ALO) power turbine business. Meanwhile,
Siemens AG
(NYSE:SI) offered to swap energy and train assets with Alstom in a bid to beat General Electric's proposal. Shares of GE rose 0.56% in pre-market trading. Siemens fell 1.87%.
(NASDAQ:CMCSA) and
Charter Communications
(NASDAQ:CHTR) have struck a
where Comcast will divest 3.9 million cable subscribers following its previously announced merger with
Time Warner Cable
(NYSE:TWC). Meanwhile, Charter will acquire 1.4 existing Time Warner Cable customers, making it the second-largest cable operator in the US. Ahead of the opening bell, Charter rose 1.53%.
The Economy
This week starts off with a light day of economic indicators. The pending home sales index will be released at 10:00 a.m.; it is a leading indicator for the state of existing home sales, not new home sales. At 10:30 a.m., the Dallas Fed will release its manufacturing outlook. Investors are looking ahead to a number of indicators expected throughout the week, including consumer confidence on Tuesday, GDP on Wednesday, and a speech by Janet Yellen on Thursday.
Global Markets
Stocks in Asia fell for a third day, and China's benchmark
Shanghai Composite Index
its biggest decline in seven weeks. China's Securities Regulatory Commission will hold a meeting this week to
the initial public offering applications of four companies and possibly launch more IPOs by the end of May. Investors worry that new shares could drain liquidity in the market. Meanwhile, in Japan, retail sales
at their fastest rate in 17 years prior to the April 1 tax hike. In South Korea, Prime Minister Chung Hong-won resigned over criticism of the government's handling of the Sewol ferry sinking on April 16.
In Europe, stocks
as merger and acquisition news drove shares of companies like AstraZeneca and
Bayer AG
(OTCMKTS:BAYRY) to rally. In London, the housing market recovery
into April. After conflict continued to escalate in Ukraine over the weekend, President Obama
new sanctions against Russia on Monday, the details of which will be released later today.

Hundreds of people gathered at Indiana State University Tuesday night for a Women's Equality Day March. Attendees included Representative Barbara Gambill, Mayor Duke Bennett, state house candidate Jim Mann and WAWV's Robyn King.
Organizers intended the event to begin at 5:30, but severe thunderstorms delayed the start. Participants, some dressed in costumes, gathered underneath the trees of ISU's R parking lot to wait out the rain. After the storm passed, Girl Scout Brownie Troop 253 performed a flag ceremony, and a university student read the text of the 19th Amendment.
People milled around the trees and the blue tram as the sun began to shine. Some of them were dressed as characters from the women's suffrage movement. Anyone who listened to all of the stories received a free t-shirt presented by members of the Indiana State University Golf Team.
Mayor Bennett, who spoke during the opening ceremony, called the right to vote one of America's most underutilized rights. Representative Gambill followed up on the mayor's point. She urged all citizens to view the right to vote as a privilege and a responsibility. After Troop 253 retired the colors, men and women walked the short route to the Dede Hall amphitheater.
Four speakers addressed the crowd. The guests included Barbara Gambill, state representative, Dottie King, president of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, Alpha Patel, Vigo County School Board member, and Robyn King, the WAWV morning meteorologist. Robyn and Dottie King urged younger women to continue their educations. Alpha Patel talked about her school board campaign.
"You have the right to vote. Make it your responsibility." Patel advised participants.
This year marked the 3rd year anniversary of the event. Volunteers for the Vigo County League of Women Voters handed out yellow roses to anyone who exercised their right to vote. Many people claiming the roses were women, but one brave man claimed his reward.

In an interview, is it ever appropriate to ask what one does on his free time?
From a US perspective, an interviewer should not ask about anything about outside activities that's not directly work related, primarily to prevent potential lawsuits. A general question like "What do you do in your free time?" is simply too legally dangerous to ask. For example, suppose an interviewee is an active member of a particular religion, cultural or political organization. Asking about it could open the door to legal action if you decided not to hire them. Some people might even see the question as harassment.
There are some cases where it might be appropriate to ask as long as there was a work related reason behind the question. For example, some positions in some companies require that the person hired not engage in high risk activities like skydiving or auto racing.
Another example would be if you were hiring for a position in a company that provided services to a free time activity. In that case, you might want to ask what the potential employee thought about that activity. In one interview with an auto supply company I was asked about my interest in auto repair and customization. That would be an appropriate question to ask.
In general, it's best to avoid asking open ended questions that might take the interview into legally dangerous areas but asking about job related specifics is usually OK.
Many people choose to add a Hobbies/Interests section at the end of their resume. And usually what they mention is the most interesting thing they do on their free time and find appropriate to discuss at workplace.
I would deem it appropriate to ask more about interests mentioned in those sections. Otherwise I personally would consider such questions rude.
I am working in the European region as a talent scout and have several kind of clients from different countries. We have variant restrictions and regulations regarding the hiring process than the US.
Our clients are really curious about the candidates free times activities and special subjects. Of course we can't ask questions about particular religion, cultural or political attitude but the employers are really interested in the would be manpower basic barrels.
These topics are important in order to the client can see not only the "technical" correspondence also the human level as well. Sometimes these free time related topics are more significant than the real "technical" requirements as they will work with together during lot of hours per days\weeks\months....and the technical skills are more improvable than the basic behaviour.
I have experience about that the guy has excellent skill-set but couldn't fit in the community. His leader talked with him several times and the company helped him different ways to find the golden mean but the mission was failed and the guy left the company. Nevertheless I have several positive examples where the guys have very nice attitude with good skills and the common work is absolutely successful with the client after the interviews.
Finally I suggested that if the regulations and your culture are allow you to ask free time related questions as well feel free to create a large scale questionnaire which will be a big help for you in the future because of these topics are give you a better insight about the candidates.
Yes - but it largely depends on context.
It's often considered nice to make casual conversation before or after the interview. For example, if you and the interviewer are walking to or from the interview area, or headed to lunch - the interviewer might ask about your hobbies, what you do to relax or other friendly neutral topics. Feel free to share whatever office appropriate topics you wish.
At the same time, interviewers are expected to steer clear of probing into areas that would lead to unethical decision making or implying an overtone of sexuality. This is a grey area, and one where it'll take a mix of common sense and social cues to navigate wisely. Some examples that are definitely beyond the range of propriety:
For both sides, the general goal is to keep any free time/hobby related discussions brief. It's a great time to mention something that's pretty neutral from an emotional/religious/political perspective, and you should be able to expect that interviewer will keep the conversation fairly casual as well.
I have certainly used the "what do you like to do for fun?" topic as a bridge when myself and the candidate were in that awkward point where we were moving around together, and couldn't really talk about anything too serious. A perfect example is where I've taken a candidate to lunch and we needed to navigate a cafeteria. We're likely to have a 5 minute walk, plus some interruptions as we get through any doors, stairs, elevators, etc., and eventually I'll give the rundown of the eating options... but in between we have either awkward silence or a light conversation. I'd much rather ask the candidate what he likes to do, than assume he wants to talk about a particular TV show, sports game, or recent news story.
Would it factor into my impression - yes. I'm pretty quirky, so weird hobbies aren't a minus in my book, but if someone had a hobby that was very likely to pose serious work conflicts or showed an absolutely insane lack of judgement, I might reconsider. Similarly, this would be a bad time for the candidate to unload that he had some huge family crisises on his plate that left him absolutely no time at all for anything fun. While it may be true, it's hard not to factor that into a job availability consideration, and I'm not so sure I'd want to know.
Although I doubt if answering this question can ever decide the employ-ability of a candidate, from my experience in the IT industry, it has never been inappropriate to ask this question.

The Matadors own a 4-6 record and went 1-4 at the Louisville Slugger Desert Classic last weekend, beating Nevada, but losing to Portland State, BYU, Utah State and Hawai'i. Northridge is hitting .231 as a team with seven home runs, averaging 3.9 runs per game. Three players are hitting over .300, led by freshman Madeline Sale, who is batting .375 with two RBI. Junior Samantha Sloniker is hitting .360 with four RBI, while senior Tracy Allen is batting .321 with six RBI and is tied for the home run lead with two.

Former Bruin and Olympian Tairia Flowers is in her first season at Northridge and is joined on the coaching staff by former Bruins Caitlin Benyi and Natasha Watley. UCLA is 38-9 all-time against Northridge and has won 16 in a row, including a pair of victories last weekend at the Stacy Winsberg Memorial Tournament. The Bruins claimed a 9-0, five-inning win on Feb. 19 and a 7-2 triumph on Feb. 20. UCLA is 14-4 in Northridge, last playing there on March 25, 2006, a 1-0 Bruin victory. The Matadors' last win against the Bruins was a doubleheader sweep at Northridge on April 15, 1998.
The Gators are 9-0 after sweeping nationally-ranked North Carolina in a three-game series in Gainesville last weekend by scores of 3-0, 9-0 and 10-0.

UCLA set a school postseason record with 16 runs in a 16-3, six-inning win. The triumph exacted revenge against the Gators, who ended the Bruins' season in 2008 in Oklahoma City by a 2-0 score. UCLA's other two victories came at Easton Stadium in 2002 and 2007.
The Sooners (11-1) are coming off a 5-0 weekend at the Troy Cox Classic in Las Cruces, N.M. Oklahoma knocked off New Mexico State twice, as well as Southern Utah, Sam Houston State and Louisiana-Monroe.

After UCLA had defeated Oklahoma 6-1 in Donna Kerr's first collegiate start on Feb. 8, the Sooners bounced back with a 7-0 victory two days later. UCLA is 4-1 in neutral-site matchups with Oklahoma.
The Lady Vols continue their West Coast swing this weekend, bringing in a 9-2 record after a 4-2 mark in Las Vegas. Tennessee beat Cal Poly, Boise State, SIU Edwardsville and Southern Utah, while falling to UNLV and Stanford. Tennessee is hitting .428 as a team with 18 homers and 25 stolen bases, averaging 10.3 runs per game.

Tennessee's most recent triumph was a 6-1 victory at the 2007 Cathedral City Classic. All nine meetings have been at neutral sites.
The Wildcats enter the weekend with a 4-3 mark after going 1-1 during a rain-shortened San Diego Classic. Northwestern bested UC Davis, but lost to Washington. During the opening weekend in Tempe, Ariz., the Wildcats also lost to nationally-ranked teams Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. Northwestern is hitting .309 as a team with three homers and 15 stolen bases, averaging 5.9 runs per game. Sophomore Emily Allard leads the team with a .560 average and seven stolen bases.

I was attending the American Weather Forums annual conference down near Baltimore-Washington Airport this weekend so I wasn't able to write up anything(I mean, I could have....BUT it's not often that I can mingle with other meteorologists and had to take advantage of the opportunity!); I did return back into the area by 4pm Sunday afternoon and let me tell you that from Baltimore along I-95 toward Philly/NJ I felt the heat and humidity creep up! It was in the lower 80s and mostly cloudy when I left and came back home to it being in the lower 90s, sunny, and also encountering dewpoints at or above 70! The official high at Philadelphia International Airport was 91 after a low of 72; there was some light rain this morning from a decaying Mesoscale Convective System, but by mid-morning the rain and clouds pushed offshore and we were left with a mostly stable(but humid) atmosphere.
There are showers and thunderstorms to the west of Center City, but overnight we will have clouds as well as showers and thunderstorms(some strong to severe, but the severe weather threat should stay west of the I-95 corridor) with lows in the lower 70s; Monday morning may still have lingering showers until the morning commute ends and then as the cold front pushes away we'll have clearing by lunchtime once drier air tries to work in from the north. The issue is that there will be a trough behind the front that may spark off some showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon(they will be isolated in nature) as highs will be in the lower 80s. Hey, at least the humidity will be lower with falling dewpoints...BUT since there will still be some instability aloft with steep lapse rates(temperature change with height) that is why there will be the isolated shower threat in the afternoon.
The trough pushes away to the north and east on Tuesday, but meanders across Southern Canada; so it will pinwheel around some clouds come Wednesday and Thursday, but Tuesday it shall be just far enough north to give us a mostly sunny day with highs just in the lower 80s. Wednesday and Thursday will be in the middle 80s with partial sunshine.
Come Friday the cold front that's been hanging out offshore retrogrades a bit closer to the coast come Friday, but it's not until Saturday that we may see some showers or thunderstorms(especially along the coast) with highs ranging from the middle to upper 80s.
That's it for now, but you can check out the rest of the 7-day forecast at www.scottderekwx.com/forecast.html.

Sauteed Broccoli Raab with Chile, Garlic & Lemon
The assertive flavors and bright-green color of this side make it a perfect pairing for salmon or chicken. It also goes well with starchy dishes like risotto and pasta. Some people delight in broccoli raab's full, undiluted flavor; I find that blanching tempers the bitter note to a more pleasing level and allows other flavors to have their say.
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic (2 to 3 large cloves)
1/4 can crushed red pepper flakes
Finely grated zest of half a lemon; plus fresh lemon juice to taste
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound broccoli raab, rinsed, trimmed, and blanched (see tip at bottom)

Modulog Siding
If you're looking for the warmth and aesthetic appeal of a log cabin but aren't ready to sign on for the lengthy construction time, then you may want to look into Modulog cedar siding—the easy alternative to heavy log construction. Here's some more info.

Modulog uses 75% less wood than heavy log construction.
Wood siding always requires more maintenance than other siding materials.
Modulog siding doesn't offer a wide variety of style choices.
Can be more expensive than other types of wood siding.
Modulog makes their products from western cedar, so they are able withstand the elements for years to come. This may not be the most durable siding option available, but with a built-in resistance to insects and decay, Modulog shouldn't be as much trouble as other types of wood siding.

Why does Modulog use Western Cedar instead of another type of wood?

As the Dallas temperatures continue to exceed the hundred degree mark, do you find that make-up is sliding off of your face? Try these great products to stay beautiful all summer long.
Waterproof (read: sweat-proof!) cosmetics are the best for heat endurance. A top liner pick is the Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner which lasts all day even in the Dallas heat! A great retractable is the Stýli-Style Line and Seal 24 Twist which doesn't need to be sharpened and is easy to remove at the end of the day. If you prefer a traditional pencil, the M.A.C. Powerpoint Eye Pencil is long-wearing, smooth, and comes in 14 fabulous shades! Remember, before lining eyes, make sure lids are clean and dust with facial powder to seal the deal!
Compliment your liner with a daily mascara that lasts. Maybelline New York Great Lash Waterproof Mascara is reasonably priced and an overall best pick. Find it at any drug store in the Dallas-Fort Worth area or wherever you may live.
Applying powder continuously all over your face may help absorb oil throughout the day. However, the powder mixed with damp skin will leave you with a caked-on look. Instead, try blotting with a product like Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets.
For serious oily and sweaty skin, try professional strength OC 8 Mattifying Gel. It works for up to eight hours for an all-day matte finish on your face.

The New Orleans Saints put on a brave face Wednesday after losing their top two rushers, Pierre Thomas and Chris Ivory, to season-ending injuries heading into Saturday's playoff opener against the Seattle Seahawks.
Though players suggested that they both will be missed, they mostly echoed the thoughts of fullback Heath Evans, who tweeted, "It's an opportunity to find out if we are great or just good."
"Well, it doesn't make it any easier," Saints quarterback Drew Brees said. "Certainly we're gonna miss Chris Ivory and Pierre Thomas. But I'm confident those other guys can do the job. And in the end, you just work to the strengths of the guys that you have. You don't worry about what you don't have.
"And while you'd love to have all the guys and all the different elements that they bring, I feel like Reggie Bush can do some pretty special stuff, and Julius Jones can do some pretty special stuff. And DeShawn Wynn, when called upon, can do the job."
Injuries may also limit the Saints at other positions. Safety Malcolm Jenkins (knee) and tight end Jimmy Graham (ankle) did not participate in team drills Wednesday, though they haven't been ruled out of Saturday's game at Seattle.
"I don't know that it's a rallying cry at all," Saints Coach Sean Payton said. "I think that it's pretty common in our league that the next guy up gets ready to play. We've gone through this before, and really it's not uncommon. It's more of the norm and making sure that through preparation that the players that maybe haven't played more significant roles at one point or another are now ready to play those roles.
"More than anything else, I think it's the preparation and the teaching and the coaching that goes on. The players work week-to-week regardless of what their status might be that week, and it's understanding that all of these guys are on hand and ready to contribute."
The next guy in line at free safety - Darren Sharper - isn't too shabby. Strong safety Roman Harper referred to him as the "sixth man of the year." And the Saints appear to be getting healthier at tight end, where veterans Jeremy Shockey (groin) and David Thomas (knee) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday.
"The game plan is like every week. Patch yourself up and prepare to win the game," said Shockey, who said he is eager to play this week. "Just as every week. It's a game of physicality and injuries do happen. And I'm definitely doing my best, as is everyone else in this locker room, to get back on the field."

I mentioned a while ago about a Christian organization for women called Proverbs 31 Ministries. Today they kicked off their 16th Online Bible Study titled "Living So That: Making Faith-Filled Choices in the Midst of a Messy Life," a study from a book of the same name written by Wendy Blight. The study will last 5 weeks, from April 6 - May 10 and will have posts several times per week on their website or sent to your email address if you sign up. There are 5 chapters in the book, so that's one chapter a week that can be done at your own pace. There is a memory verse every week as well as opportunities to comment and contribute to the study after every post. So go check out their site and enjoy the study!

N.B. The abstract below introduces a paper published on the LRC website as Early Indo-European Languages: Publishing Multi-lingual Texts Online.
The Linguistics Research Center (LRC) at the University of Texas is publishing online, in web page format, a series of lessons intended to cover at least one language in each of the major Indo-European families. To date, ca. 650 web pages have been published, with complete sets of lessons in 16 languages representing the Anatolian, Armenian, Baltic, Celtic, Germanic, Hellenic, Indic, Iranian, Italic, and Slavic families; other lessons, now well underway, extend coverage to the Tocharian family, and future efforts may address Albanian in the Balkan group.
Major considerations in this project have included means to ease text transcription while, at the same time, providing web page output in multiple character sets (e.g. ISO-8859-1 and Unicode) and possibly in multiple formats (e.g. HTML and LaTeX for PDF). As well, attention is paid to metadata and the potential for post-production, large- or small-scale extensions and revisions to lesson content and format. These factors argue for generating published resources via software, rather than hand-crafting them. This paper discusses our designs and methodologies related to resource authoring and automated processing. Our implementations have proven highly flexible and capable, generating lesson pages with metadata and enabling the addition of major, unforeseen new components months or even years after series completion by lesson authors.

Stanford University Athletic Director Ted Leland announced on Monday that Assistant Athletic Directors Earl Koberlein, Ray Purpur and Scott Schuhmann have all been promoted to Associate Athletic Director, effective immediately.
"These moves allow us to be more efficient as a department, as well as rewarding great performance," Leland said. "Earl Koberlein, Ray Purpur and Scott Schuhmann all play big roles in the success of this department."
Koberlein, who played basketball at Stanford from 1982-86, returned to the department in 1993 as the men's basketball administrative assistant. He was promoted to Director of Intercollegiate Sports and Championships in 1996, and was named an Assistant Athletic Director in 1999. In addition to overseeing 14 sports, Koberlein manages men's basketball operations, sports medicine and athletic training. He also oversees all national championship events hosted at Stanford.
Purpur is in his eighth year at Stanford, after serving five years as Assistant Athletic Director at the University of Pacific (1990-94). He came to Stanford as the Assistant Athletic Director for Facilities, Operations & Events, and was promoted to Senior Assistant Athletic Director in 2000. Purpur oversees all athletic facilities, facility development, facility services, capital planning, all event operations, concessions and guest services.
Schuhmann is in his 12th year at Stanford, including four seasons (1989-92) as an assistant football coach. He was then named Stanford's Athletic Recruiting Coordinator in 1993, and went on to assume the duties of Athletic Services Coordinator before being named Assistant Athletic Director of Football Support and Athletic Services in 1995. In his current role, he is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Stanford football program in addition to overseeing six other sports. He also has administrative oversight for equipment and strength and conditioning.
Stanford University --- Promoted Earl Koberlein, Ray Purpur and Scott Schuhmann from Assistant Athletic Director to Associate Athletic Director.

From ancient times, Hawaiian people have had a vast body of oral literature, and a deep appreciation for the ability of stories to transmit tradition, culture, and knowledge. Once contact was made with the Western world, Hawaiian people eagerly added the written word to their traditions, publishing books and newspapers in abundance. By the 1830s, Hawai`i had the highest literacy rate in the world.
On Saturday, 11 January, people will have the opportunity to continue Hawai`i's tradition of literacy at the annual Friends of the Libraries, Kona (FOLK) book sale. The event will be held from 09:00 to 13:00 on the lanai of the Kailua-Kona Library.
Funds from sales help support the Kona libraries by funding such need as educational and entertainment programs, community summer reading programs, visiting authors, magazine subscriptions, CDs, DVDs and new book purchases.
F.O.L.K. Members receive 20% off Lanai Sales. Volunteers are welcome; if you find yourself willing and able, please email firstname.lastname@example.com. For more information, call 329-3440 or visit www.folkhawaii.com

From her schoolgirl uniform in "…Baby One More Time" to the diamond encrusted bodysuit in "Toxic," Britney Spears has had a plethora of iconic looks during the span of her career. So when she announced her two-year residency at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, one might assume some of these ensembles would be worked into her "Piece of Me" show.
But when MTV News caught up with Brit last week in Sin City, the pop star crushed any dreams of seeing her in the denim dress she wore to the 2001 AMAs (even though she still has it) or with an Albino Burmese python around her shoulders a la her VMA performance of "I'm A Slave 4 U."
"Well, I don't think it's something you can repeat, what you've done in the past," Godney said. "You always have to bring the new, something new and fresh and that's what I did. Everything is really different and elaborated, and it's very intricate and different."
Since these retro looks won't be making their way into her stage show, we thought it would be fun to take matters into our own hands by glimpsing back at Britney from over the years. But instead of focusing on her fashion, we took a snapshot of her beautiful mug from each year of her solo career.
Reflecting back at the last 15-plus-years, Britney says she "really wouldn't do anything differently," crediting her "made it" moment when hearing her song on the radio for the first time.
What's your favorite Britney look? Let us know in the comments!

This year should be the second year of Aaron Alford's GOAT (Greatest of All-Time) football camp. After Alford died suddenly last August, having the camp again seemed doubtful.
But Tony Alford, Aaron's brother and a running backs coach at Notre Dame, decided to make the camp even bigger and better to honor Aaron's memory.
"He's coming down with some of the top college coaches in the country," Thomas Baynes, president of the Park City Youth Ute Conference, said. "He's really excited. He's been the instigator behind this it was his idea to run it and continue it."
Beginning on June 30 and running until July 2, the camp will have plenty of high-level coaches and players helping out.
"All the high school coaches, players and youth coaches will be helping out," Baynes said. "But it'll be run by the big-time coaches.
"In the past, the camp's always been run by youth coaches and high school coaches, who are obviously all highly respected, but now we're bringing in the big boys."
Baynes added that he can't think of a better way to honor Alford, who gave so much to youth and high school football in Park City.
"Due to a lot of Aaron's efforts, youth football has really become good around here," he said. "It used to be we were maybe an average program. Now, nobody wants to play Park City anymore."
Baynes said he and the other youth coaches hope to accomplish a few different things with the camp.
"We want them to learn some of the basic fundamentals, which is obviously key in youth football," he said.
He added that Tony Alford will make sure all campers are having a great time.
"He knows, especially at the youth level, that a lot of this is going to be about having fun," he said. "I'm sure there will be water balloon tag and a lot of other stuff for cardio without the kids actually knowing they're doing it.
As several of the Aaron Alford Award winners watched a high school football workout at Dozier Field on Monday evening, they talked about how excited they were to get another season underway and what it meant to win an award that honored their hard work and other qualities Alford embodied.
"I was just really excited," Kirby Baynes said of winning the award. "It brought back memories of Aaron and I just felt good inside."
Alford's twin sons, Max and Sam, said they're glad their uncle will be running the camp in honor of their father this year.
"It kind of brings me back to my dad, because my uncle who works at Notre Dame is really like my dad," Sam said. "I'm really excited to get started. Football is pretty much my life."
"The camp started off small," Max added. "Now it's getting really big."
Brady Baumann added that he can't wait to learn from some of the best coaches in the country.
"I'm super excited to get some really good pointers for next year," he said.
The Aaron Alford Memorial GOAT Camp will run from 9 a.m. until noon each day from June 30-July 2. The cost is $45. Under Armour will be sponsoring the T-shirts and there will be free water jugs for everybody. Registration will be open to the first 200 athletes ages 8-14. Baynes said about 50 have registered as of Monday evening. To register, or for more information, visit www.utefootball.org.

Nationally recognized throwing coach Larry Judge shows you two variations of a common shot training drill used to address the lack of flexibility in the torso. Coach Judge talks you through the drill and rational for performing the drill with coaching points and detailed instructions.
Athletes complete the drill first using a bungee cord and then with a partner only. This drill can be used during any stage of the season and along with the many other drills included give the coach yet another tool in the box to help their athletes perform at higher levels than before.

Larry Judge has coached some of the most elite track & field athletes in the world. Here he shows you the Arm Strike drill series that addresses a neglected area of shot put instruction, the arm strike. Coach Judge shows you several med ball drills to teach the arm strike movement used in the shot put.
The only equipment required is a med ball that is weighted appropriate to the age and skill development of the athlete.
Drill 1: The push drill is a modification of the two-hand pass drill used by most basketball coaches. The difference is that the athlete pushes the ball with the thumb down, elbow out action of the arm strike. The drill is shown as a partner drill but could also be done against a wall or fence.
Drill 2: The athlete then progresses to a prone position on a bench in the drop drill. In this drill the med ball is dropped to the athlete who catches, recoils slightly and then throws the med ball vertically for their partner to catch.
Drill 3: The final drill in this sequence is the med ball wall strike. The athlete stands facing a wall or fence and using one hand, throws the med ball into the wall simulating the arm strike. All of these drills are done with little equipment, in quick progression and allow the athlete to feel the correct technique for the arm strike mechanics of the shot put.

The Body Shop has been a firm high street favourite of mine for as long as I can remember. I even remember my first product, a peach bubble bath which I received when I was around 12 and remember feeling so grown up. Fast forward a
I have seen a lot of hype about their make-up products, and their honeycombe bronzer has received a lot of raving reviews and has been on my "to get" list for a while now. So when I was sent a shimmer cube and a brush to try out, I was more than happy to road test their products.
I received The Shimmer Cube Palette in purple, while this is not a colour I would usually opt for, I am surprised at how wearable these shades are. If you're looking for a bit of sparkle and something different, these will be right up your street. These purpley tones provide a beautiful metalic sheen on the lids that sparkle in the light. Upon first glance, they really reminded me of Barry M Dazzle Dusts which I used to be an avid collector of in my younger days, however these are in pressed form so no mess!
If purple isn't your thing, then fear not as these cubes are available in a whole multitude of colours. You could even collect them all to create your own palette, as you can remove the cubes and swap them round to suit your tastes.
I was really impressed at just how pigmented these shimmer cubes are, they really pack a punch.
I was also sent an eyeshadow brush to try in conjunction with the shimmer cubes. As a beloved Real Techniques fan I wasn't sure how the brush would compare. Fear not, it is the perfect tool to apply these with as it really allows for precise application and allows you to control how much colour you pack on.
Both of these get a massive thumbs up from me! After my first flirt with Body Shop make-up, I'm excited to pursue their cosmetics section next time I'm in a store.

Today's column presents a solution for those of you with so so little time to cook at home. Many pick up a quick pre-made meal at the store or restaurant, but according to Deena Fisk, owner of Thyme Around The Table, these foods aren't very good for you. We both share the belief that the healthiest and best meals are prepared at home, and Deena's LA-based business provides a great option: she'll send a personal chef to your home. Thyme Around The Table makes it possible to have healthy meals that suit your personal taste. Below Deena talks about her business, and shares some inspiring ideas when you're ready to make the healthy cook-at-home leap on your own.
How long have you been in business?
I started my company 2004, and went full-time in 2005.
You're based in LA, do you service all communities throughout LA County?
I have clients from Westlake Village to Manhattan Beach, and from Burbank to Malibu!
What kinds of healthy meals do you prepare for your clients?
Prior to cooking for any client, I meet with them to discuss any dietary needs/concerns. I can accommodate most any diet. The goal is to cook food that is tasty as well as healthy, whatever the restrictions are.
Is Thyme Around The Table reasonably priced?
When you consider what you spend on groceries that possibly never get used. Ever throw out a bunch of food and kick yourself?! Or consider the amount you spend on take-out or pre-made grocery store meals that weren't made fresh specifically for you. YES, it's a reasonable service!
You come into people's home and prepare healthy meals. What kind of response to you get from your clients on their overall health?
The clients who have specific needs (that I am able to meet), are thrilled to finally be eating the way they should with minimal effort.
Do you have any recommendations for anyone who is intimidated about cooking at home?
Don't bite off more than you can chew - literally! Start simple, and remember that ANYTHING you make at home is going to be healthier than anything you'll get at a restaurant or grocery store!
Do you have a favorite easy/healthy recipe that you'd like to share?
Now that summer is coming, what could be easier and healthier than just grilling up some veggies and your favorite meat (if you eat it). Keep it Simple! Save the fancy stuff (and the calories) for those special nights out!

The Beaverton, OR based Doctor Bruno da Costa, at Harmony Dental, has found a way to help couples closer for Valentines Day.
Unlike most practicing dentists, Dr. Bruno da Costa, engages patients with education in a fresh, fun way. Inspired by the upcoming holiday, Valentines Day, the dentist has implemented an in office education program, The Fresh Breath Challenge.
"The program is designed to encourage couples to get closer by taking care of their smile," says Doctor Bruno da Costa.
The Fresh Breath Challenge is a unique way to get patients talking about their oral health habits. They share their current methods for taking care of their teeth, and the doctor and his compassionate staff challenge the patients to brush their teeth after every meal for the next 30 days.
Throughout the day, food particles can stick in between teeth, which is a breeding ground for bacteria and cavities. The program is designed to decrease the chance of cavities in patience and increase fresh breath. With Valentines Day just around the corner, couples will be getting closer, and with fresh breath they will stay closer.
Harmony Dental takes a comprehensive approach to educating patients about the benefits of good oral health care and strives to make a healthy impact in the lives of their patients.

Opening with close up shots of a disturbed looking Eddie Marsan as he greedily swigs from miniature whisky bottles and rummages through the remains of a littered ash tray, the beginning of Tinge Krishnan's latest work sets the scene perfectly for what's about to follow. This isn't going to end happily!
London may be a city of culture, a city of opportunities, a place where the streets are said to be paved with gold, but on-screen England's glorious capital has become synonymous with the dark undertones of British Realism. At the centre of Krishnan's celluloid tale of big smoke life we find two desperate, tortured souls; Frank an ex-soldier struggling to overcome the horrors he witnessed in combat and Lynette a homeless girl aimlessly stumbling through life, bad decision after bad decision. Initially, when the downward spirals of these two wayward characters entwine, it seems like just maybe these kindred spirits were meant to rescue each other from their meaningless lives. However, the positive impact they have on each others' lives doesn't last long and soon both are rapidly dragging each other down a path of destruction.
Candese Reid may have won the plaudits at this year's London Film Festival, with her performance as cocky street kid Lynette being described as "fresh" and "brilliant" by Andy Harries, Chair of the Best British Newcomer jury. However, it's Marsan with another assured performance that lifts Junkhearts from being just another tale of hardship and despair. Following on from his recent impressive work in The Disappearance of Alice Creed & Happy-Go-Lucky, Marsan is once again electric in this latest role, his precarious demeanour meaning you don't dare take your eyes off him for a second. Cinematographer Catherine Derry's camera never strays too far from Marsan's scarred face and haunted eyes, circling him like a scavenger waiting to pray on his frail existence, the next time he stumbles and falls
Followers of short film may already be familiar with Krishnan's style, as the director's memorable short Shadow Scan not only won her a Bafta back in 2001, but introduced her as a talented filmmaker on the British filmmaking scene. Flashes of the flair she displayed in her award winning short can be seen once again in Junkhearts. This may be a gritty, hard-hitting film, but it's certainly not a case of substance over style. Krishnan's feature has a certain swagger and confidence about it that feels as if it's coming from the capable hands of an assured filmmaker, a director eager to master her craft. Ultimately though, the powerful performances and confident filmmaking can't hide the fact that Junkhearts feels all too familiar. These are well trodden streets and it's going to need something a bit more innovative to make them feel fresh and exciting once again.

A promising review full of deserved praise for the film. Ends implying this is well troden territory. Please could the reviewer enlighten us. I've seen hundreds of films and very few as powerful as this.
As you can probably tell from my review, there was lots I enjoyed and admired about Junkhearts, in particular the powerful performance from Marsan and the odd stylistic flourish from the director. However, after viewing Krishnan's feature I wasn't left with that elated feeling you have after you've watched a work of true originality, but instead the slightly disappointed tang of familiarity. Feeling like part Dead Man's Shoes & part Naked, yet not as powerful or revelatory as either, there just seemed to be something missing in Junkhearts to elevate it to greatness. Maybe it's unfair to compare it to the work of Leigh, Clarke or Meadows, but as a fan of British Realism, these are the films I've grown up on, films I love as an Englishman. I am yet to see Considine's Tyrannosaur, maybe that would be a fairer comparison.
I think the overall tone of my article shows I enjoyed the film and if this was a rating website, it'd be getting a fair few stars and I wanted to reflect that in my post (which is why I kept any negative comments to minimum). However, watching a lot of films every year, I do always look for greatness in films and want to be blown away by what I see on screen and unfortunately, Junkhearts didn't quite manage that!
This is obviously just 1 mans opinion, but that is all I can give!

Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker may be playing under the franchise tag and could very well be gone next season, but there's one thing he can hang his hat on - NFL history.
Welker needs only 8 catches to break the NFL record for as the first player in the NFL to post five 100-catch seasons. That would break a tie with Jerry Rice and Marvin Harrison.
"Wes loves to play football," Brady told the Boston Herald.
"There's nothing more important in Wes' life than being a football player and thinking about football and making the big play and running the right route and getting open when it's most important. That's what quarterbacks dream about too: having receivers that do that" Brady said.
If we're betting men, we'd say Welker will break the record Monday night vs. the Houston Texans. Eight catches for Welker isn't neccessarily a tall order. A slow start to the season had fans and media thinking he was being phased out of the Patriots offense, but we soon learned the folly of that assumption.
Watching Welker from game to game shows you just how valuable he is to this offense. We and fans alike are hopinh he and the team can both make a compromise suitable to both sides to keep him in a Patriots uniform.
If not, Welker's role would assumingly be filled by receiver Julian Edelman, who was injured yet again last week, this time with a season-ending broken foot.
Bottom line: Glass Joe isn't going to cut it, and the need to keep Welker becomes a priority. And we're sure Brady feels the same way:
"And Wes is everything you look for in his ability, not only when he catches the ball to be an important part of the play, but also on plays when other guys are supposed to get the ball, he busts his butt harder than anybody to make sure he's doing his job to clear out on a certain route or to take some coverage with him so another guy can get the ball. I think that's what makes Wes really special is his selflessness as a player. But the ball always seems to find a way to him."

Russia's Oil and Gas Revenues: Federal Budget Dilemma
CEIC Russia Data Talk: Russia's vast resources of land and minerals have made the mining and quarrying industry the dominant sector of the Russian economy. As world oil and gas prices have risen, exports of oil and gas have become lucrative means of revenues for big oil companies and for the federal budget. Other industries have become less profitable and less attractive for development because they cannot quickly generate value and because they require long-term investment. Current economic growth is stimulated by oil and gas exports and development of the mining and quarrying industry. To further economic ambitions, however, will require development of other industries through investments in high-tech sectors of the economy and through the promotion of investment opportunities for private companies and foreign capital inflows.
Federal Government Budget
Chart provided by: CEIC Data
Federal government revenues reached RUB 8,303.8 billion in 2010, while expenditures jumped to RUB 10,115.6 billion. As a result, the federal government budget balance showed the deficit of RUB 1,811.8 billion in 2010. This was the second annual budget deficit in a row because of the global economic slump in 2008-2009, which resulted in the international decline of demand for oil and gas and a drop in export levels, which are critical for the Russian budget. Yet the deficit became less severe in 2010 and revenues advanced 13% compared to 2009. The pre-crises years of 2000 through 2008 brought stability and a relative level of prosperity to Russia with constantly rising world oil prices, surging exports of oil and gas, and consequently, the non-deficit budget throughout these years. The habit of large spending continued during the times of crisis and reached its maximum in 2010. Although federal government revenues were high, they still could not cover the level of expenditures, which exceeded revenues received even in 2008, the best year so far in terms of economic growth and government revenues.
Oil and gas revenues drive the Russian economy. The recent numbers show that oil and gas revenues, including mining and quarrying taxes as well as export customs duties on oil and gas, together constituted 46% of the federal government's revenues in 2010. Such dependence is uneven from year to year and has varied between 37% and 47% in the last six years. In other words, almost half of the federal budget comes from oil and gas revenues, which reflects a critical condition of the Russian economy. In the short term, this might help the government to increase revenues as long as oil and gas prices are high and there is demand for Russian oil and gas in other importing countries. To keep the economy running well in the long run, however, the government will need to address the issue of total dependence on oil and gas and foster the conditions for the development of other industries.
