AstroTurf and NSCAA Announce Partnership Bringing State-of-the-Art Fields to LA17
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (August 19, 2016) – The National Soccer Coaches Association of America Convention is coming to the Los Angeles Convention Center January 11-15, 2017 and celebrates its return to the West Coast with the most highly-engineered demonstration fields in NSCAA Convention history.
"AstroTurf is the inventor of the entire synthetic turf industry and we're very excited to have them as our newest partner," said NSCAA CEO Lynn Berling-Manuel. AstroTurf will serve as the Official Playing Surface Provider of the NSCAA Convention for 2017-2020. "Our new fields will feature AstroTurf's RootZone technology which provides structure and consistency. The fields being constructed on a shock attenuation pad means the fields will be safe and the characteristics of the field will be optimal for our presenters and their demonstration players while avoiding the use of crumb rubber infill."
The AstroTurf Golden Series fields, named after AstroTurf's 50th anniversary, were first installed in 2014 is association with Los Angeles Recreation and Parks. Over the last 18 months, AstroTurf has installed more than 4 million square feet of this rubber-free system on soccer fields across the country.
"As a partner with the NSCAA, we are poised to support the urgent need for better fields. It's an issue faced by programs and clubs at every level," said Heard Smith, CEO for AstroTurf. "The NSCAA Convention is now the must-attend event, not just for coaches but for the entire soccer community. As such, the NSCAA is the perfect partner to usher in the next era of sophisticated soccer surfacing for today's teams, both at the highest level and in every community across America. These are the systems AstroTurf and the NSCAA will showcase."
The NSCAA Convention is the largest gathering of soccer coaches in the world. With over 250 education sessions bringing together coaches of every level, more than 10,000 people are expected to attend the Convention's first trip to the west coast since 1994. The aim of having an Official Playing Surface Provider is to ensure that every presenter has the best possible environment and opportunity to share their knowledge and effectively convey their session.
"I first became an NSCAA member in 2003 and have been attending the Convention with my father [NSCAA Goalkeeper Institute Director, Tony DiCicco] my entire life," explains AstroTurf's Director of Soccer, Anthony DiCicco. "With improved demonstration fields and the world class roster of presenters, this partnership will enhance the effectiveness of those presentations and every attendees' experience. "
"Everywhere I travel in the country I hear stories about the extent of our field crisis. The inclusion of the U.S. Women's National Team in that debate has heightened the urgency of this transition." DiCicco continued, "The newest generation of fields better protect players, are cooler, and provide better playability. AstroTurf and the NSCAA are excited and proud to come together showcasing the modern coach on the modern field for our entire soccer community."

Why the Artificial Grass Market Is Greener
Hockey teams at the Rio Olympics are squaring off on artificial pitches made by a German firm. And SportGroup's products don't stop there – the market for synthetic sport and activity surfaces is booming.
Article courtesy of Von Joachim Hofer, Global Edition Handelsblatt
Long before the first athletes arrived in Rio de Janeiro for the 2016 Summer Olympics, a Bavarian company finished installing artificial turf for the field hockey competition.
SportGroup, based in Burgheim in Bavaria, actually completed the four field hockey fields last year, when many other Olympic venues were still being constructed.
It's a source of pride for SportGroup's chief Frank Dittrich and his staff, who have plenty of experience in outfitting Olympic arenas. Athletes have already competed on plastic grass from Germany at previous Olympic Games in London, Beijing and Sydney.
Despite that, the mid-sized company is almost unknown outside Bavaria. One reason is that SportGroup is a holding company: The actual business is farmed out to two dozen companies under it.
SportGroup markets synthetic sports turf under the brand name Polytan. In addition, the company offers granulates used to cushion modern surfaces, under the name Melos and APT, for other producers.
"Now SportGroup is making another big leap. Earlier this summer it announced the acquisition of U.S. rival AstroTurf."ENDSTRONG SportGroup's companies also make and install artificial tracks and playground surfaces.
"Except for us, no one produces everything themselves," said Mr. Dittrich. Business is excellent. Last year, sales shot up by more than 10 percent to EURO 340 million, or about $375 million. Everyday, somewhere in the world, members of the 1,000-strong workforce complete new artificial turf fields or running tracks for customers.
Now SportGroup is making another big leap. Earlier this summer it announced the acquisition of U.S. rival AstroTurf. The Georgia-based company made its name 50 years ago with the artificial grass at Houston's Astrodome, Major League Baseball's first indoor stadium. "They're synonymous with artificial turf in the United States," said Mr. Dittrich. The acquisition will add EURO 120 million in sales and take SportGroup revenues for the first time to more than a half-billion euros.
Still, artificial turf remains controversial. Athletes and sports officials often complain about playing on synthetic surfaces rather than on real grass.
At the 2015 Women's Soccer World Cup in Canada, for instance, German national coach Silvia Neid had nothing but contempt for some of the artificial playing surfaces. Players said fields were hellishly hot and that granules of recycled rubber, which are used to soften the surfaces, often flew up in the air and created clouds of tiny particles during matches.
"It was a nightmare," groaned U.S. national team member Abby Wambach. She accused soccer officials of sexism because men played on natural grass while women were relegated to artificial surfaces.
The women athletes, however, were mostly complaining about pitches made from recycled automobile tires.
In contrast, there was even the occasional praise for higher-quality artificial turf, such as that supplied by Sport- Group for the stadium in Vancouver, where the final game was played.
And earlier this summer at the European Soccer Championships, natural grass wasn't necessarily any better. Organizers in Lille, for example, had to quickly lay fresh turf for the knock-out match between Germany and Slovakia. Earlier in the tournament, Swiss coach Vladimir Petkovic had complained of many holes in the turf at the stadium in northern France. Officially, according to the organizers, the natural surface was replaced because "extremely difficult weather conditions had caused irreversible damage."
For Mr. Dittrich, the grass disaster in France was just what he needed to make his case. He is convinced that synthetic surfaces are better for most sports clubs. Matches can be played much more often on artificial fields than on natural grass, and the cost of maintenance is lower. Plus, he said, "players have consistently optimal conditions.
" In the Arctic north, dry southern climes and even in the tropics, artificial turf is often the only option for a permanently playable pitch. Without artificial turf, Mr. Dittrich noted, the Icelandic national team would never have made it to the Euro 2016 quarterfinals in France. Mr. Dittrich, himself an amateur soccer player, isn't the only one to believe in artificial turf. Last year, financial investor Equistone Partners took over the company from IK Investment Partners. The price is not known.
IK had bought a stake in the company in 2006. Back then, Firl +Schretter Sportstättenbau OHG was created to specialize in the installation of polyurethane surfaces.
A couple of years later, the company went into the production of surfaces for sport and recreation. Since then, the Bavarians have been taking over competitors and building their business worldwide.
SportGroup now has production facilities in the United States, England, Germany, Poland and Australia.
Having a global presence is important since the competition is also active the world over. The competitors Fieldturf and Desso are owned by the surface producer Tarkett. With sales close to EURO 3 billion, the French group is considerably larger, but somewhat smaller than SportGroup in its sports division.
Mr. Dittrich was involved in other international prestige projects before Rio. This summer's European track and field championships were run on surfaces provided by the Bavarian group.
Artificial turf is still frowned on in the Bundesliga, the German soccer league, but not so much elsewhere. SportGroup turf, for instance, covers Stade de Suisse in Bern, Switzerland. Likewise in Austria at Red Bull Salzburg, the soccer team, or the tennis courts in Key Biscayne, Florida.
Polytan offers nine different types of artificial turf. Poligras Platinum Cool Plus is the name of the carpet Sport- Group laid out on hockey fields in Rio. It is an especially dense and evenly textured surface on which the ball rolls particularly well. At any rate, the ball is rolling well for the German teams in Rio, which are yet to lose a match.
Mr. Dittrich is in Rio to watch the action. Like the players, he wants his firm to "drive consolidation forward. Otherwise, others will."
A step-by-step look at transforming BMS into a football field in 19 days
Article courtesy of ROBERT SORRELL | BRISTOL HERALD COURIER
BRISTOL, Tenn. — When asked what it was like to race at Bristol Motor Speedway in August, NASCAR legend and nine-time Bristol winner Rusty Wallace famously said, "When they turn the lights on at that place, all hell breaks loose."
The lights will come on and stay on long after the checkered flag falls on the Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race next Saturday. After the race, the last NASCAR hauler typically climbs the banks and exits the stadium around 2 a.m., leaving a skeleton crew behind to shut everything down.
This year, the crews, including more than 30 vendors, will be ready to storm the infield, flowing in and out of the stadium in a tightly choreographed effort comprised of heavy equipment, cranes and hundreds of workers.
"It's like a Gantt chart for a construction site or a minute by minute that we use for our pre-race," Caldwell said. "But it's a two-and-a-half week minute by minute."
After the crowd leaves the race, stadium cleaning experts Can Do Enterprises, based in Gray, Tennessee, has enlisted a crew of more than 200 workers. Once the infield is scoured, the crew will move on to the nearby buildings, then the grandstands, all of which are power-washed for the race, and then cleaned again afterward.
The first step in building up the field is installing a heavy-duty fabric barrier.
The speedway's infield is normally slightly concave, allowing water to drain to the middle, Caldwell said. A football field must drain to the edges.
"So it kind of has that crest in the middle," Caldwell said. "We have to raise the middle of it to get it that high so it will drain on the edge."
To prevent tons of material from disappearing, the barrier must first be rolled over the infield.
Once that's in place, Baker's Construction Services, of Bluff City, Tennessee, will bring in 450 truckloads of rock and manufactured sand for the field base, which will weigh in at more than 10,600 tons.
Chad Baker, the company's president, said BCS has worked with the speedway for many years. It also assisted with Colossus.
Stone for the project will come from a local quarry, Baker said.
"We'll be placing the material with a dozer and a grader and run a robotic total station," Baker said.
They'll use Universal Total Station UTS site-measurement technology provided by SITECH Mid-South. Crews will place and compact the field base. When complete, the base will rise to a height of more than 3 feet and will be measured in 10 different locations, three times each, before being approved for use.
At the same time, T&B Equipment of Ashland, Virginia ― which specializes in event seating — will build the first series of risers. Overall, multiple seating companies will add more than 5,000 seats to the infield.
Builder J.A. Street and Associates, of Blountville, Tennessee, will also be on site, clearing out the Goodyear Tire Building, the lower level of the Infield Media Center, and Victory Lane areas for transformation into team and referee locker rooms and meeting space.
Jim Street said the lockers have been pre-manufactured and work will take about two weeks to complete.
"It can be done," Street said. "It can be a 24-7 project. We'll have the lights on."
Street added that the entire project is a challenge, but it will be ready by game time.
Advent, a sports branding specialist from Nashville, Tennessee, will then step in to "create a fresh, modern look" with signs, Caldwell said.
Pilot Flying J Battle at Bristol branding will also start to appear around the infield as Express Signs, of Kingsport, Tennessee, and Foster Signs, of Jonesborough, Tennessee, begin their work.
By Thursday, Aug. 25, according to a construction schedule, tons of rock and sand will be in place for inspection and ready for AstroTurf to install the field green.
The company will begin that Thursday to complete a grid survey, to make sure it's NCAA-compliant.
"We'll work with him [Baker] on that last day doing the final touches on it and we'll be putting up the field goal posts," said Mitchell Truban, director of construction at AstroTurf. "Chad has already poured some concrete pads for us and they're custom field goal posts that are, most of them are 10-foot high, this is 14-foot high, because we have to go down a lot more than normally. It's unique for this field."
The field goal posts will be placed as Baker's crew completes the stone drainage base.
Once the grid survey is signed off, the turf will be installed, Truban said.
AstroTurf will employ its 3D3 playing surface, which boasts a shorter, denser turf carpet that provides more fiber and requires less infill, Truban said.
The field also features the RootZone infill stabilization system, a texturized layer of fiber that curls down into the surface, creating a net-like matrix that stabilizes infill. This reduces "splash" during play and provides grass-like traction for players.
In all, 15 AstroTurf staff members will install more than 100,200 square feet of surface to a height of 1.5 inches, using more than 180,000 pounds each of silica and rubber infill. The process is scheduled to be completed by Sunday, Aug. 28.
Baker said there is "good coordination" between his company and AstroTurf in preparing the field.
By Monday, Aug. 29, many of the central elements will be in place. During the second week of construction, according to Caldwell, facets like lockers and sideline greens will go into place. Work also expands outside of the stadium.
Many pre-produced field components, including the sidelines, hashes and yard markers, will be installed over a two-day period, readying the field for the final touches from university artists and World Class Paints of Leland, Mississippi.
Other components to be added include play clocks. Concession stands and restrooms will be installed on the track surface for all of the sitting areas in place on the infield.
On Thursday, Sept. 1, BMS staff will move beyond the coliseum to prep the track's three adjacent campgrounds, which are being centrally managed for the event. According to BMS, the work on the campgrounds requires laying fresh gravel, adding around 130 light towers and generators, striping spaces, and mowing more than 220 acres, in addition to the track's own 500-acre grounds.
By Friday, the build-out of locker rooms, along with the grooming of the field and infield, will be complete.
Final touches and some more heavy lifting will take place during the final week before the game.
On Sunday, Sept. 4, Virginia Tech's Casey Underwood and Darren Seybold from the University of Tennessee will be on hand to stencil and paint end zones and team logos. World Class Paint will supply the materials for crews to christen the 50-yard line with the game logo.
Heavy steel trucks will also move in as work begins on the construction of the massive stage for Bristol's Tailgate Party. The concert will feature headliner Kenny Chesney with the Band Perry and Old Dominion.
The roofed structure is planned at 140 feet wide, 100 feet deep and over 40 feet tall, according to the speedway. It will require the help of three cranes to build. Once complete, it will extend from the infield, out over the backstretch pit wall, and onto the apron.
Campgrounds will officially open on Tuesday. Then by Thursday evening, all structures will be complete and all supplies will be in for the start of Friday's celebrations.
Festivities will include multiple concerts on several stages, fan zones packed with rides, tailgate games and more than 55 vendors, the speedway reports. The grandstand gates will open Friday at 5 p.m. for the Tailgate Party. When the party ends, crews will then dismantle the stage and ship it out in 12 hours.
On game day, more than 1,000 workers will be on site to park, guide and shuttle the crowd around the grounds. Seventy employees will help coordinate park-and-ride locations in Bristol, Johnson City and Kingsport, and multiple third-party vendors are bringing in more than 240 tour buses to keep the crowd flowing.
Unlike the races, the game will have a security perimeter that roughly follows the paths of Beaver Creek and Volunteer Parkway. Any guests seeking entry to the grounds must display their tickets or credentials to get in. The perimeter will feature fencing and metal detectors, which have not been used at the speedway in the past.
Like the races, BMS Guest Service locations, including Guest Welcome Villages, will be located on the grounds.
Thirsty fans looking for a cold one can check out two on-site Anheuser-Busch locations, which will go up during the construction phase. The Bud Light Down South Tailgate Tour will feature a climate-controlled bar with Bud Light, luxury tour bus with roof deck, food trucks, and traditional tailgate games. The Budweiser Country Club, an open-air, three-level build-out featuring elevated views, two 20-foot bars and Budweiser Signature Draught towers, will also be on grounds.
Once the game is over, the winner will receive the 88-pound Battle at Bristol trophy, designed by a fan from Nashville and constructed by MTM Recognition. The trophy stands over 2 feet tall and is nearly as wide.
One week later, East Tennessee State University and Western Carolina University will play on the field. Once that game's over, crews will begin transforming the football stadium back into a race track.
Truban, who will attend the Battle at Bristol game, said AstroTurf will remove the field and prepare it for storage.
Those unable to see the makeover in person can watch the Battle at Bristol on television during ABC's Saturday Night Football, starting at 8 p.m.
Other venues around the world will be watching the speedway as it transforms the coliseum into a football venue. Caldwell said he's heard from a number of officials asking how it's being done.
"It's been a decades-long offensive drive to make this game a reality," Caldwell said. "After so much time it's exciting to see everything coming together, and there's no other crew in the world I'd want to tackle these challenges with than the team at Bristol Motor Speedway. We can't wait to welcome our guests on game day."

Stinky - Sep 10, 2012
Player: Jeff (Allentown, PA)
I want to love these boots. They are super light, they feel great, they look great, great touch on the ball, but they smell B.A.D. I never had a foot odor problem in my life, but I have had to soak these in water with Chlorox every 2 weeks over the summer just so I could put them in my car. It just doesn't breathe. Going back to kangaroo leather.

Faster than fast - Aug 12, 2012
Player: Jessica (Angels, CA USA)
I love these shoes with all my heart. They were absolutly beautiful when i got them out of the box. Kinda stiff at first but that goes away fast, you just have to break them in. They are super comfortable and super light weight witch is part of the reason i love them. The main reason i think i love them is because they make me run super fast. Im a goalie so being fast is really important and I personaly felt like a bullet the first time i ran with these shoes. They have great support and awesome features to make passes more acurate and powerful. They are durrable and hold up nicely to most weathers and conditions. The only thing I would say I do not like is that they dont like extreme heat that much. But Im talking about 106 degree wheather. At that temp I started to get blisters but thats the only thing. Other than that, I have had these shoes for about 5 months and they are still in great shape. Best shoes iv ever owned by far.

Good decent boot so far. - Jul 06, 2012
Player: Jacob Boggs (Muncie, IN)
Let me explain a little about myself first. I am a very competitive player who plays 4-6 days a week for 2hrs a day, and this is my 8th pair of of $200 cleats in the last 2yrs. I have had the Vapors, CTR360, Adizero F50's, and Puma 1.11's. I haven't had that many pairs by choice, they just keep falling apart on me. I love the fact that these boots are lighter than the CTR360's which I consider the Nike alternative.These are skinnier than the Nike boots, so it does take a few days to really break them in. They aren't as comfortable to just put on and play like the Nike boots are. As far as putting a better spin on the ball, these work better than the 360's as long as the rubber isn't covered in dirt dust. Shooting in these boots is ok, but I prefer the Vapors. I have only used these so far on very hard dry ground. It did rain once, and the cleats just filled with mud, and the touch on the shoes became very slick. These shoes do retain moisture, so make sure to take out the insoles and let them air out after playing, otherwise, they will smell HORRIBLY. The shoes are not as thin as the Adizero F50's so it doesn't hurt as much when someone steps on your feet. Overall, these are a great pair of cleats, but only time will tell. One great thing to keep in mind is that both Nike and Addidas have 2yr. boot warranty, so if they tear up after the 60 days that Eurosport will cover them, just get in touch with Addidas or Nike directly for a voucher to use from their store.

Next best Predator when compared to Mania - Jun 13, 2012
Player: Anonymous (Cumberland, MD)
I have been wearing the Predator line since 2002. The pinnacle of the line was the Mania version back in '02. This would be a solid 2nd. The shoe runs a half size larger due to Adidas changing the last the boots are built from. I have always worn a 10, but need to wear these in a 9.5. A very comfortable show once broken in, which only took 2-3 outings and the synthetic feels superb on my feet. I would highly advise this boot to anyone!

Brilliant, Solid, & Light Weight! - Mar 09, 2012
Player: Brian G. (Gainesville, FL USA)
After and brief stint with Nike Vapor Vs, I came back to Adidas this season because I have a wider foot than Nike's tend to accomodate. My previous predators were wonderful, so I was excited to get a pair of these next generations! Overall review after a month of wearing them almost daily is: Brilliant, Solid, and Light Weight. First impressions out of the box are awesome! The picture doesn't do the power of the Electricity justice, but I like bright colors- my Vapors are neon yellow. My teammates say it looks sweet when I do multiple scissors and step-over type moves because it looks like tracers coming off my boots, especially right at dusk. The boots runs true to size and are very comfortable right out of the box. Some reviews say a little stiff, and they are, but what light weight synthetic boot isn't at first? They do break in quickly. They're not stubborn. More importantly, I haven't had a single blister or hot spot from day one! The rubber/silicon insert in the sweet spot is what makes Predators famous. Definitely noticed it after coming from Nike with the control of the spin and the movement on my shots when I Steven Gerrard crush one! The boots fit well, don't slide around, and have even/consistent support throughout. The surprising factor is just how light they are- I wear an 11 and I don't notice them deep into the 2nd half of a match. Overall, a solid boot that I highly recommend. I really can't think of a con. Hope this helps- play well lads! Cheers!

synthetic AdiPower DB Predator - Jan 15, 2012
Player: Eric (Norman, Ok)
The color of these boots are sick. The yellow is more neon in real view not the same as on the computer screen. The boots are extremely stiff and require some breaking in. The heel is very stiff and uncomfortable compared to my vapors, older predator models, and Tiempo boots. I got zero blisters from these boots, which is surprising bc when I make sharp cuts and turns the heel and side of the boot ankle area stabb my ankle. Not comfortable due to the stiffness of the boot. That is my only dislike with the boots. They are extremely light weight and great for speed. Crosses, free kicks and power shots are great with the silicon rubber on the inner part of the boot. Try these on in the store first to get the right fit. I like to put in sole inserts in my shoes, so I got a size 10 instead of a 9 1/2.

Rim Marcinkus also lied about being board certified.
He operated on her in Indio in a dingy office, late at night, cut on her for about 4 hours, sent her home weak and shaking, in horrible pain.
For this he charged her $25,000.00 for a facelift and huge breast implants. She really only needed a lift, instead she received huge saggy breasts and never lifted them. He did an ear tuck which was infected for weeks and never healed properly.
Her facelift results was awful. When she finally started healing, she had pulled skin that fell into folded over skin, like pleats. It was bizarre. She went back and "Dr Rim Marcinkus told her she needed botox, restylne and thermage. He charged her thousands more.
To top it off, this Dr. Rim Marcinkus, flirted with her and charmed her into more treatments until she was out of money and credit.
Her whole family wanted to sue him, but she was embarrassed and would not go through with it.
Beware of this quack, stay away, go to someone reputable for half the price who is board certified!
My cousin struggled for years to pay off that disasterous surgery. This happened in in about 2007 or 2008.

The Colombian climber's late solo attack on the steep Genting Highlands finish saw him move clear of Orica-GreenEdge rider Pieter Weening inside the closing two kilometres to take the lead in the general classification.
Weening had sparked the initial attack three kilometres earlier, but was able to hold on for second, ultimately finishing 26 seconds behind Arredondo.
Victor Nino Corredor of RTS finished third on the 110.3km stage, with the arduous climbs picking off riders one by one from the back of the leading group.
"I need to thank all my teammates," Arredondo said. "This is a very big victory for us.
"This win is very important for us because we are a little team, and sharing the road with other pro teams is very important.
"We are an Asian team and to win the most beautiful stage for us is incredible. It's like a dream come true."
The tour continues with stage six on Tuesday, taking the competitors from Mentakab to Kuantan, with the 10th and final stage coming on Saturday with a finish in Kuala Terengganu.

Bridgepoint Said to Seek Up To $5.5 Billion for European Buyouts
Private-equity firm Bridgepoint expects to seek as much as 4 billion euros ($5.5 billion) for its next buyout pool as European deals show signs of picking up.
The London-based firm told some investors it may start marketing its fifth fund in April, according to two people briefed on the plans. Bridgepoint anticipates collecting 3.5 billion euros to 4 billion euros, less than the 4.8 billion euros its prior fund gathered in 2008, said the people, who asked not to be named because the information is private.
At 4 billion euros, the latest vehicle would still be among the largest in Europe raised this year in a competitive fundraising environment as investors cut relationships to a smaller group of private-equity firms. Cinven Partners LLP, CVC Capital Partners Ltd., Nordic Capital and Apax Partners LLP all raised multibillion euro funds in 2013.
There are no finalized plans about the size or timing of our next fund "until we finish investing our current fund," said James Murray, a spokesman for Bridgepoint.
Bridgepoint typically makes equity investments of 75 million euros to 400 million euros in companies capitalized between 200 million euros to 1 billion euros, according to the firm's website. It invests across sectors including business services, consumer, financial services, health care, manufacturing and industrials and media and technology.
Private-equity deals in Europe stood at $11 billion this year as of yesterday, compared with $9.8 billion in the same period last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Bridgepoint Acquisitions
Bridgepoint agreed in December to acquire Cambridge Education Group Ltd., a provider of courses for students looking to attend universities in the U.S. and Europe, for 185 million pounds ($308 million). The firm in October purchased polish biscuit manufacturer Dr. Gerard from private-equity firm LBO France.
The firm's prior fund, Bridgepoint Europe IV LP, was generating a 1.25 times multiple and a 10 percent internal rate of return as of Sept. 30, according to performance data by the New Mexico Educational Retirement Board.
Bridgepoint's buyout team is made up of more than 80 investment professionals that invest out of local offices in Frankfurt, Istanbul, London, Luxembourg, Madrid, Paris, Shanghai, Stockholm and Warsaw, the website shows.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Henry Stephens introduces us to therapeutic dogs that come in and help the children of the Children's Hospital of Georgia.
They are specially trained and come with their owners to visit the patients and the families at the hospital.
"I enjoy my dog so much i figured everyone would enjoy my dog as well. I've had a number of different kinds of dogs throughout the years and i started back in the 60's," Miss Marlene said. "We have heard a child crying as we're coming up on an elevator, we went to the room... Then each dog came in and did some tricks and that child stopped crying. He didn't even know they were finished [with the procedure]. He didn't even know they started, and that's what it's all about!"


text: Posted December 21, 2012 But the fact is that often stats are better than past wins at predicting future wins, and occasionally are are better at predicting which team is better (not who had the better season). Stats and wins generally correlate pretty strongly though. Isn't who had the better season all that matters? What is the goal of most pro athletes? Again, W-L column is all that matters in pro sports, you don't get championships by playing the "we are better than you even though we have a worse record" game. You play the games you play and try to make it to the end as the champion. The rest is just for discussion. I doubt the Giants care if you told them the Patriots were the better team last year. Probably would respond with a "yea uh huh...and?" then go shine their hardware. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are in our new location at 12511 SW 68th Avenue just up the street from our old location! We have expanded our urgent care availability and now schedule same-day appointments. Call early as these same-day appointments go fast. Healthcare can't always be planned and we want to accommodate our patients as best we can. While Dr. Kassay is on maternity leave, we will have adjusted hours. We will be closing early on Monday and Wednesday. Please see times below for specific intervals.
New patient visits and physicals are 30 minute appointments. This is double the time most physicians are allowed and surprises many new patients. Doctor Kassay believes this is mandatory to gather a full medical history and a full exam. Doctor Kassay's detailed philosophy to medicine can be read here. Please plan accordingly when scheduling your first appointment and download the initial forms to simplify your first visit. Kassay Family Medical Clinic runs on time and it is unfair to other patients if you arrive late. If you are a new patient, please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment allowing time to finish paperwork and copy the appropriate documents.
Don't forget to schedule your kids of all ages! Dr. Kassay has a thriving pediatrics practice and a special room just for kids! Many of her families appreciate the convenience of one location for the entire family and not changing doctors when the kids grow too old for a pediatrician.
Dr. Kassay is a preferred provider for most major insurance plans including the new PERS insurance carrier. Please call for more information.
We have an on site lab, and comprehensive skin care including FDA approved skin laser treatments and botox performed by Dr. Kassay personally. Visit our new Kassay Skin Care for additional information.
Dr. Kassay's private practice is now accepting new patients. We are conveniently located in "The Triangle" where all three counties meet!

Current News:
The votes (completely anecdotal) are in! Everyone loves our new clinic! We are now fully staffed and growing a little in our beautiful location. The greatest feedback is how much positive energy the space has, plenty of light, decorated with Dr. Kassay's art and how accessible we are. In addition, our new roomates, Tobi Page: Eating is a Lifestyle is getting incredible feedback and It's Just Therapy: helping individuals, couples and youth are on the main floor. Khemraj Physical Therapy is now fixing patients and Kris Kolby is a licensed Esthesist with her own formulated product line. We love to say, "Wellness begins at the door."

We schedule same day appointments for current patients. Call early as they do tend to fill up fast.

Game cards trigger memories, stories in 'Lotería'
In an institutional room in California, the aptly named Luz ("light") tries to make sense of the trauma and tragedy that has befallen her family. She has only a journal, the presumed attention of You, the God or higher power she addresses, and a deck of Lotería cards.
In "Lotería: A Novel," debut novelist Mario Alberto Zambrano makes the cards, used in a Mexican game as the visual counterpart of the numbers in bingo, serve as writing prompts. They're not instruments of divination like tarot cards, but, like the tarot deck, the simple, traditional design of the Lotería cards gives them a touch of the archetypal. (Large images of the cards begin each of his novel's short chapters.) »Read Full Article
Collector ordering violin theft would be unusual, FBI says
The idea that a collector would purchase an item such as the 300-year-old Stradivarius violin stolen from Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra concertmaster Frank Almond — or orchestrate such a crime — "goes against the nature of being a true collector," an FBI special agent assisting with the investigation said Monday.
The market for such a high-value art piece is very small, FBI special agent David Bass said. »Read Full Article(3)

Darden SmithView in iTunes
To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
Named after a local rodeo rider, Darden Smith grew up in Austin, TX. In the 1980s, the rootsy singer/songwriter began building quite a following, and his independent 1986 debut was snapped up by Epic. Three of its cuts were re-recorded for 1988's Native Soil; the single "Little Maggie" placed on the country charts. Trouble No More -- a collaboration with British songwriter Boo Hewerdine of the Bible -- followed in 1990. Three years later, Smith distanced himself even further from his country roots with the pop-oriented Little Victories. While he was a critical favorite, drawing comparisons to such mature songwriters as John Hiatt, Epic still dropped him from its roster. 1996's Deep Fantastic Blue appeared on the indie Plump; it was an accomplished collection of folk-tinged pop. The favorites set Extra Extra followed in 2000, and the introspective, jazz-tinged Sunflower appeared in summer 2002. It was a far cry from the dusty roots of Smith's early work, yet cut from the same intuitive songwriting cloth. Smith released the similarly curious Circo in 2004, and Field of Crows in 2005. ~ Johnny Loftus

Just a warning, this is a bit of a vent
Here's the deal: I want LASIK. Soooo bad! I have glasses and hate them. For some reason, I can't find contacts that work. I have enough astigmatism that normal contacts don't work for me and the toric lenses are incredibly uncomfortable. At my annual opthamologist appt last week, I asked about LASIK and found out that I am a good candidate for it and got the details. I was so excited and then I saw the cost... $1800/eye if I pay up front or $2100/eye if I finance. Granted, this includes the surgery, all follow up appts and any enhancements that may be necessary. But still! I don't have $3800 that I can use for this and I certainly can't justify financing it. Sometimes I hate being responsible! Guess it's time to start a sinking fund so I can get it done in a couple years

Lawmakers wrap up review of wildlife commission
A legislative committee has completed its review of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources and offered only one recommendation.
The State Journal reports the Program Review and Investigations Committee recommended on Thursday that the commission adopt bylaws regarding what items should be brought for its approval.
The panel began its review in December after concerns were raised and spending and personnel decisions at the agency.
A separate review by the Office of Inspector General in the Kentucky Cabinet for Public Protection is ongoing.
Department of Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Jonathan Gassett said it was likely that the agency would follow the panel's recommendation.
