Whether you are suffering from low back pain, headaches or arthritis, pain can significantly limit your everyday activities and negatively affect your life. Injections are often beneficial for the treatment of pain.
Recent advances in high-resolution ultrasound imaging have given clinicians another tool for improved patient care. Ultrasound imaging allows the clinician to perform precise injections to the area affected by pain. Ultrasound imaging is live, which allows the clinician to see the needle passing through tissue and inject the medication to the exact target. The clinician can identify nerves and blood vessels to stay away from, which allows safe and accurate delivery of the pain relieving medication.
Ultrasound imaging does not use any radiation and is safe for use during pregnancy.
Gundersen's Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation clinicians use ultrasound imaging to provide various treatments such as:

The Committee on Interdisciplinary Studies offers courses and coordinates specialized interdisciplinary programs. These may include international programs and global/area studies.
By nature of their objectives and content, interdisciplinary studies courses cross the lines of departments and specialized disciplines. For example, some of these courses attempt to provide the common body of knowledge traditionally associated with a liberal education; others attempt to integrate the understanding of different kinds of subject matter; and still others combine methodologies from diverse departments and disciplines.
American Studies/Secondary Teacher Certification in Social Studies
Gettysburg College offers a variety of courses analyzing American life and thought, which provide students with many opportunities for creating individual majors in American studies. Such majors may emphasize behavioral analyses, historical perspectives, literary and artistic dimensions, or coherent combinations of such approaches as they are reflected in courses from several departments. For example, individual majors could be designed in the areas of early-American culture, modern American social stratification, ethnicity, or the religious and economic values of the American people.
Students interested in pursuing secondary teacher certification in social studies may choose to combine coursework in the Education Department with courses taken in other departments on campus. As students choose electives, they will be encouraged to meet two interrelated goals. The first will be that their planned program establishes a clear sense of coherence and that the courses they choose help them build the content knowledge needed to be effective teachers of secondary social studies. The second goal will be for students to develop and articulate a coherent understanding of the nature of the American experience, and to express that understanding through an intentional selection of courses organized around a relevant theme.
Students should seek assistance in planning an American studies individual major from the Committee on Interdisciplinary Studies. Students interested in the American Studies/Secondary Teacher Certification in Social Studies should also contact Prof. Dave Powell (Education Dept.).
Comparative Literature
Gettysburg College offers courses in many literatures in the original languages (ancient Greek, Latin, Italian, Spanish, French, German, English, and Japanese). In addition, a number of courses are offered in foreign literature in translation (Classics, IDS, Japanese). Students who work in more than one language (e.g., English and Spanish) are encouraged to consider creating an individual major in Comparative Literature in consultation with faculty in the appropriate departments. The study of comparative literature enables students to emphasize a particular period, theme, or genre across cultures, instead of the traditional focus on the chronological study of a national literature.
A particular theoretical approach can also be cultivated (such as feminist, reader-response, structuralist, Marxist, and Freudian). Students who wish more information are encouraged to consult with any of the following advisors to the program: Professor Rickert (classics); Anchisi and Perry (Italian); Fee (Old Norse; Middle German); Olinger (Spanish); Wallach (German); Binet and R. Viti (French); and Hogan (Japanese). Many members of the English and Theatre departments are also advisors to the program.
Law, Ethics, and Society
Individual majors in law studies benefit from a wide variety of courses offered at Gettysburg College that deal with the law in some form, from American government and civil rights movement courses through the Political Science Department to Philosophy of Law, which teaches comparatively several different systems of law in the world and their underlying philosophies. Many courses on law-related topics can be found in this catalog under Anthropology, Environmental Studies, Peace and Justice Studies, Psychology, Sociology, and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. There are also courses on antebellum law offered through the History Department and on race, gender, and the law through Africana Studies, and several courses bearing the LAW designator.
With the breadth of courses available, along with a wealth of opportunities in both study abroad and intern/externships, many students have been able to create law-related individual majors. Students pursuing such majors have focused on comparative police psychology; crime and redemption; the criminal mind; law, ethics, and society; migrant workers and the law; the law in literature; and many other topics. So while Gettysburg College does not have a specific prelaw curriculum, the individual major allows students to incorporate the law as a tool for integrative thinking in their chosen discipline(s), looking at law not by itself, but in relation to its historical, philosophical, scientific, sociological, or other context. This interdisciplinary focus gives students the kind of skill set in research, integrative thinking, and expanding beyond academic borders that will help them not only if they choose to go to law school, but in any field or profession they wish to pursue. Students interested in prelaw advising should contact the prelaw advisor, Thomas F. Jurney.
Among other opportunities for interdisciplinary studies is the individual major. Before the end of his or her sophomore year, a student, with the consent of two supervising faculty members from different departments, may design a coherent program of at least ten courses focusing on a particular issue or area not adequately included within a single department. It may be based on any grouping of courses drawn from any part of the curriculum so long as the proposed major is coherent, serves a carefully defined academic purpose, and includes no fewer than eight courses above the 100 level, three or more courses at the 300 level, and a 400-level individualized study course. The Committee on Interdisciplinary Studies has final responsibility for approving individual majors.

The Fearless Mr. Foxx
"Rihanna will sing the hook, Slash will play the guitar, and Travis Barker will play the drums."
That's the vision, anyway. "Fingers crossed," he says.
Jamie Foxx is on a roll, hurtling from one idea to the next while his words accelerate to keep pace with his thoughts. The song he's just described—one of several projects Foxx is excited to talk about—is just a concept at this stage, but he knows what he wants, and he's confident. "My creativity is flowing right now," he says. The Oscar-winning actor, singer, and comedian is, at this very moment, occupying none of those particular roles; he is simply a creative force, free of constraints. Over the course of our conversation, Foxx, 45, has gone from sitting at my right to crouching at my left to standing in front of me. From talking to eating to acting to beatboxing. And now he's singing. By any definition, this is an interview; but as much as I'd like to think I'm participating, I feel like I'm witnessing…something. I'm not quite sure what. But it's electrifying.
20 Hottest Celebrities We'd Love to Run With >>>
We're sitting in a sparse but nicely decorated apartment nestled into the side of a hill in Malibu. It's the kind of place where you're not exactly sure who lives there, so you kind of just go with it. Going with it, it turns out, is also a theme when talking to Foxx, who, as I am learning fast, has a way of taking conversations to interesting places.
It's become impossible, it seems, for Jamie Foxx to merely star in a movie these days. No. Now he must also create a trailer. And he must sing and produce the song for said trailer. To Foxx, it's all connected. The idea for the track in question came to him on the set of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, where he's been cast as the villain Electro. "People were texting me, like, 'Yo, where you at, Foxx?' And I would text them dressed as Electro, 'Listen, I can't talk right now. I'm chasing spiders,'" he says. "So then, I would go back to my studio with my boy Brains and we built a song called 'Chasing Spiders,' sort of like a rock-'n'-roll thing." I ask for Brains' real name. Access Denied. "If I said his real name he would pass out," Foxx jokes, but clearly he's not shy about giving me details. In addition to Rihanna, Slash, and Barker, Foxx envisions the track being supported by a 60-piece orchestra. "Thirty of them are villains, 30 of them are superheroes," he explains. "Then, when it really ramps up, when the orchestra comes in, that's when you see the big fight. Imagine the orchestra playing and then, in slow motion, breaking their instruments and running from everything. Since I did the movie, I know what the shots are—so that's how I know how to craft the music."

Great point about McGary being in a predicament much of the game when rotating to help, leaving Zeller open for a couple of flush dunks. The biggest worry I had throughout the game was how effortlessly Indiana was attacking the baseline. With no effort to cut off drives by guys like Oladipo, the only choice on alot of the rotations was to give up the open corner three (in the first half), or leave the paint open for Zeller (in the second half). I was really suprised with how consistantly guys like THJ were getting beat. Leaves good room for improvement and things to focus on with the second half of B1G play coming up.
Marginally Contested
2/2/2013 – Michigan 73, Indiana 81 – 20-2, 7-2 Big Ten
Midway through the second half, Michigan popped into a 1-3-1 zone for a possession. I did not like this. I immediately thought "you can't run this defense with Jordan Hulls on the floor," and Indiana duly tossed the ball around the perimeter until Hulls was presented with an open three-pointer. He knocked it down. The 1-3-1 did not reappear.
Hulls didn't do much other than that. Unfortunately for Michigan, two of the other things he did were bury two more open threes; he missed only once. This is what you expect from Jordan Hulls, and it's why he's out there trying to check dudes a half-foot taller than him on defense.
To beat a team with a guy who shoots like that playing next to a sticky-fingered nightmare of a defender, the man Hulls is checking has to at least keep pace with the guy. Nik Stauskas didn't. He, too, is the sort of player that sends you to your toes when he's left wide open in transition, the sort of shooter that can create a buzz in an arena before the ball has even left his hand. He, too, had four good looks from three before the game had been decided. He missed all of them. (Hulls fouled him on a fifth.) The fourth miss was incredible, deflating, infuriating. This is not what is expected.
In a game where just about everything else did go as expected, that seems like the difference between a rock-'em-sock-'em affair ending at the buzzer and the marginally exciting contest that instead unfolded: Michigan's best shooter did not hit when presented with excellent looks.
And they were excellent. I'm not sure if Michigan came out with a concerted plan to emphasize the Hulls-Stauskas matchup or if Stauskas improvising based on his belief that Hulls couldn't check him; either way Michigan came out of the gate attacking that guy, and for naught. Stauskas drove for marginally-contested layups, and missed. He was found for marginally- or un-contested threes and missed. Michigan launched itself into desperation mode with two minutes left down nine, down exactly the same number of points Hulls had tossed in from behind the arc and Stauskas hadn't.
This is not to pile on Stauskas, who played about as well as he could up until the moment he let a shot go. This was not the Ohio State game, when he could not move towards the basket and found himself hacked out of the offense, reduced to jacking up deep, contested threes out of frustration.
When Stauskas made contact with Hulls he was largely quieted—along with the zone three two of his other looks came in transition. Stauskas didn't turn the ball over and had a couple assists. I can't recall any frustration shots launched. Afterwards, Beilein revealed Stauskas had missed practice the day before with the flu. Independent random trials can be a bitch even when you're healthy.
But there it is. While Glenn Robinson sputtered to two points and contributed little else in 40 minutes, his presence in the game always feels light. He largely cleans up other people's misses or throws down their assists. His absence or presence is something felt less viscerally than thinking TAKE THAT at maximum brain volume and seeing something betray Nik Stauskas's swag.
So it goes. Sometimes the damn thing won't go in the basket. The only thing to do is keep shooting.
Protip: stop falling behind by lots in tough road games. Against OSU, Michigan's offense came out discombobulated and staked the opponent to a 21-point lead. In this one, Michigan's defense couldn't make a rotation or stop the ball in the first ten minutes and staked the opponent to a 15-point lead.
Protip: once you have fallen behind by lots in a tough road game and come storming back, DO NOT TIE THE GAME. When this happened in Columbus Michigan started jacking up bad shots and was on the wrong end of a decisive 6-0 run. In Bloomington they managed to tie the game just a few minutes into the second half, and then suffered an 11-0 run.
Clearly a mandate must go out indicating that it's threes only if you have fallen behind by lots only to claw back and find yourself down two in a tough road game. No more ties. No more.
Protip: just predict what Kenpom predicts. Twice this year arrogant predictor guys at this very website have arrogantly deviated from the Great Book Of Kenpom and predicted road victories, first myself for the OSU game and then Ace for Saturday. Kenpom was off by a total of three points in these games. Yea, and it was wroth.
Halftime adjustments check: no. Michigan clawed back to even after five minutes, but then suffered the aforementioned run.
The Morgan question. Was his absence a major problem? The two minutes on a gimpy ankle he got seems to indicate the answer is yes, as does Indiana shooting 59% from 2. McGary's box score says no: 5/7 from the floor, 3 OREB, 4 DREB, an assist, 0 TO, two blocks, two steals, and a Wes Unseld hockey assist not recorded. Horford added a couple buckets, blocks and turnovers in ten minutes.
In the aftermath I've seen various folk complain about McGary overhelping and thus setting up Cody Zeller's three tip dunks, but if Oladipo is screaming at the basket that seems McGary has a bad choice either way. By helping McGary forced tougher shots and misses on those, at least. If he's not there and Oladipo throws down a rim-rattling dunk, um… well, that's not good either. It seems like the problem there is on the initial drive and McGary is picking the lesser of two evils.
Because this is an attempt to quantify the defensive prowess of an individual player, we of course have wildly differing metrics here. Some low-sample-size Synergy data from UMHoops suggests that Morgan is by far the better defender. That is in direct conflict with some low-sample-size data Ace assembled that suggests Michigan is a crap-ton better with McGary on the floor.
I don't know, man. Keep "road game at Indiana" in perspective here: despite giving up 1.17 PPP, Michigan's defensive ranking on Kenpom actually moved up slightly after the game. If Indiana shot too well from two they also got up far fewer shots than Michigan thanks in large part to McGary, and without the intentional fouls at the end of the game that PPP rate drops to 1.10. It's complicated.
One spot at which Morgan may have helped: the four. Michigan hasn't taken Glenn Robinson off the floor since Morgan got hurt, and in this game he wasn't doing anything to justify 40 minutes. Morgan would have brought extra rebounding and been better able to hold up against Christian Watford on the block; Robinson would probably have been more effective if he knew he was going to get some rest here and there.
Speaking of the overhelping bit. I think we can put the Tim Hardaway Jr lockdown defender meme to rest. Oladipo roared into the paint with frequency against him, hitting 5/9 from two and IIRC having two of those misses thundered back into the basket by Zeller since he'd drawn two guys.
Hardaway's better than last year; in no way, shape, or form does he approach the level of an impact perimeter defender like, say, that Oladipo guy.
Hardaway was an effective shooter in this one, largely when Oladipo switched off onto Burke.
Oblig. Burke check. Hoo boy he put up a lot of shots: 24 in total. We should remove the rushed heaves at the end of the game to get a better picture of what he did when quality was more important than quantity. This slices out four 3PA, one of which went down, and two generous assists on similarly rushed heaves by Hardaway and Stauskas.
Those excised, Burke:
- 5/12 from 2
- 3/8 from 3
- 3/4 from the line
- 6 A, 3 TO, 2 steals, 2 OREB(!)
- 22 points on 20 shots
Burke was tasked with a good number of Oh God Oh Jesus Oh God late-clock possessions as Indiana's defense came to play; he had difficulty with Oladipo, as you might expect. His numbers would have been less extreme and likely less inefficient if Stauskas had been healthy and accurate. As it was more and more of the offense devolved onto him.
He carried Michigan when they had to be carried. To exceed a point per shot against a top-tier defense while sucking up 40% of Michigan's possessions is remarkable.
Oblig. ref check. Fouls were even before Michigan went into game extension mode. There was a 15 to 7 FTA disparity for Indiana that seems mostly attributable to random chance. Two goofy calls stood out: the Oladipo continuation bucket and a blocking foul assigned to Hardaway that was a textbook charge—one, in fact, that Hardaway repeated moments later, getting the call.
Rebounding check. Michigan lost the battle on the boards thanks in no small part to those Zeller slams. It was close—29% to 34%—though, far less of a factor than IU doubling up Michigan when it came to turnovers.
The bright side! This may put a damper on GRIII to NBA worries?
"Cumong man" of the game. Indiana hit 88% of their free throws and didn't miss once in their last 14 tries. This is not conducive to exciting finish, Indiana. I am dissapoint.
The oddity of having a really good basketball team. You get punished by having Dick Vitale assigned to your games. I've always experienced him as an annoying presence on Duke broadcasts I'm not going to watch more than a few minutes of; this year I've finally been exposed to 40 minutes of the guy repeatedly.
I am not enjoying this experience. Take it away, Wikipedia:
He is known for catchphrases such as "baby"
The worst part is that when Vitale finally retires—he's 73—the ESPN executives who have not ordered him to do middle school games at 3 AM on ESPN3 will slide a howler monkey into his place and hope no one notices.
I wonder how Duke fans must feel about the guy. Sure, he's basically an extension of your university but even when he's yelling inanities in favor of your team, they are still inanities detracting from the important thing you are trying to pay attention to. And he is omnipresent. I don't think I could deal, man. We should have asked Jamiemac—who admitted no rooting interest in Saturday's game!—about that when we were quizzing him about the Yankees' chances this year in the podcast.
Anyway, in most other sports ascending to the big time level is a reward. Gary Thorne does the NCAA hockey tournament, and Sean McDonough will do your college football games. People bag on Musberger but I like him, and there's no comparison between Vitale and Herbstreit. Big NBA games get you Marv Albert.
I guess Tim McCarver and Jim Nantz do loom, but what this is all about is WHERE'S GUS JOHNSON, STRING?
It's strange to me that I love Raftery and Gus Johnson so much and find Vitale so detestable. All three bring buckets of enthusiasm and get criticized for it by haters. I am only in that group for the last guy. Maybe it's because "baby" is not a catch phrase, it is a useless appendage, where as "onions" is delightful and Gus Johnson makes lip-curling noises.
Does anyone like Vitale? Stand and be heard. I want to know if he appeals to anyone. We should do announcer approval ratings.
I loved Dick Vitale in the 1980's. He was original, unlike any other staid and stale color commentator (like the always smug Billy Packer). He had obvious passion. I'm nostalgic for those great Big 10 & Big East monster match-ups that Vitale regularly commented on. Those were good times in college basketball.
But that was the 1980's. I liked Dicky V. I also liked Ratt, Poison, and Motley Crue. I had a full head of hair and groomed a mini mullet. 25 years later, I've changed, and I sadly don't enjoy listening to him broadcast any longer.
When I was 12-13 and the Fab Five were in their heyday I loved Dick Vitale. Now, not so much. Same goes for Gus Johnson. But I loves me some Bill Rafferty. I can't explain my logic for current dislike and like. It just is and I blame my 30's on it.
are the other leagues where you'd rather have the local announcers, and so being featured on national broadcasts is bad. However, that is a different situation because in those sports the team have dedicated tv announcers who only follow the team, and so know more about that team than any national announcer could. Plus, I see you Rod Allen.
I like Dickie V. Ok, but will concede positive prejudices going back to his U of D days having gone down to Callahan Hall to see Dickie coach his Terry Tyler, John Long and Terry Duerod teams many, many, many times.
So senility is a possibility.
On the negative side, Dick took Greg Kelser #1 during his short lived stint with the almost unimaginably inept Pistons and then engineered the second worst trade in Piston history. In which trade, having already lost M.L. Carr to Boston in a signing and entitled to compensation, Dickie sent two #1 picks to Boston in addition to Carr in exchange for the injured and aging pariah, Bob Mcadoo. Boston turned those two picks into Kevin McHale and Robert Parish. So one does have to wonder just a little bit how much Dickie V. really even knows about Basketball.
As an aside, the worst trade in Piston history was Ray Scott for nobody. It was supposed to be Rudy LaRusso who, rather than play for the Pistons, retired on the spot. They finally ended up selling his contract for a #1 pick that became Otto Moore.
To say I "like" Vitale, or wish he was the one calling the game, goes too far. But I don't mind his commentary and insight. I too have met him, while I was staying at the same hotel in the Champaign - Urbana while attending a wedding. I remember when he was a coach at UD, and also remember him during the Fab 5.
This whole discussion reminds me of similar comments regarding Keith Jackson, or Bob Ufer, years ago. I liked both, others didn't care for one or the other. Honestly, I don't care who announces, as long as Michigan wins.
I was disappointed in GRIII, wish we had attacked the basket more, and felt like there was a lid on the basket when we were behind the 3 point line. I also wish that both Burke and Hardaway had been one step back, as both had very long twos, where a matter of inches would have made them threes.
I dislike Vitale because he is a distraction. I also dislike Raftery because he is also a distraction. I am not sure how you can like one and dislike the other. They are so similar. They just say random things very loudly that make little sense as to what is happening in the game. I don't really like announcers in general because they don't bring any value to the viewing experience. I do like Dackich though because he seems to bring nuggets of wisdom about the game and players in the game he is calling. Other than that they can all go on mute for all I care.
I'm not sure either but I do. Somebody help me.
Vitale is Vitale. I think he's going through the motions a little, much like when Madden got towards the end and was throwing in "BOOM, WHAP's" just because it was his thing. I don't doubt he's probably a very nice guy. But considering he loves slurping all the teams I hated (Not only Duke, but if I have to hear him call Robert Montgomery Knight the General one more time....), he wasn't a cheerleader for my teams. He was another one of those guys who hyped up the Fab Five as freshmen, then tore them down as sophomores. So the only times I can remember him being on "Michigan's side" was when he though Michigan would be a great fit for Pitino, and when Coach K's golden boy Amaker was coaching us...till it became hard to pull off. (I almost think Amaker became our coach partly on Vitale's hype).
Having said that, now that CBS controls all the games, it always seems odd to me that we have no NCAA Tournament games with Vitale doing them.
Count me in the camp that loves Raftery and Gus Johnson. I don't hate Vitale but I really could do without him. He just seems so forced and disingenuous.
Raftery reminds me of the times when I used to take off school to watch the conference tournaments as a kid. Finally starting to get warm after a long Michigan winter, sun is out and there is unbelievable basketball on for the next month. Best time of year next to late August/September when college football is just getting started.
Wallace was soft D. He had to get got.
The question on Vitale is whether or not he says ANYTHING during the game that adds to the experience of watching it. The answer is NO. Compare him to Jay Bilas; the best in the business. Bilas breaks the game down and uses replays to show the strategy involved. Vitale just screams pre-determined rants after great plays and gives out canned lists. If Burke makes a three-point shot, he is "the best PG in the country!" If he misses his next one, he is taking too many shots and needs to get others involved.
There was a time in the mid and late 80s when Vitale was solid. Now, he needs to just stick to the motivational speaker circuit.
Doris Burke is significantly better than Vitale.
On a separate note, there has to be a way to get GR3 involved early in the offense. He is too talented to force him to rely on offensive put-backs and transition dunks.
1. Surprised and dissapointed that Stauskas didn't dominate Hulls.
2. Got tired of shouting for McGary to get a body on Zeller.
3. Wondered why no Bielfeldt to relieve GRIII for a few minutes. Would have been nice to see a big body in there banging around. It wasn't like GR was having a big night.
4. IU came better prepared to defend us than we came prepared to defend them.
5. I can only take so much Vitale. I watched at least half of the game on Mute. Besides, I come for the action not the commentary.
6. This game was another reminder of how young we are. We are good, but very young. Most of the game we had 3 Freshmen and a Sophmore on the floor.
Vitale is pretty much like Lee Corso, old guys who love college sports with a passion but are past their prime. I like both of them, personally.
I like Vitale. I like the color anouncer to be enthusiastic and know what he is talking about-even if it comes off as goofy (same reason I like Gruden for MNF). I enjoy Vitale's excitability in the games, and let's face it-anybody is better than Kellogg
Dick Vitale is a lot like an album you bought when you were 14. You remember loving it, telling all your friends how awesome it was, and trying to convince your parents it was better than anything they used to listen to. And then, decades later you put it on the stereo only to think, "what the hell is this crap?" Vitale is old... repetitive.. and a caricature of himself. In a word - Annoying.
BTW, Musberger is terrible. And of course, he's the voice on far too many amazing Michigan victories. Can't everybody be Keith Jackson?
I definitely said on here before this game that the key matchup would be whoever was matched up with hulls. That clearly didnt work out for us as Stauskas once again didnt come through offensively. He played ok on defense but gave up those 3's that turned out to be daggers. Can't totally blame him though as GRIII didn't even show up to play. Anyway, I really don't mind Vitale calling games. He has an extensive background in bball that you have to respect and makes it tolerable to hear him call games bc he does know what he is talking about. It's not like Pam ward or Beth Mullins calling a football game.
I liked Dick Vitale as a kid. I also thought Mallrats was a good movie when I was a kid.
I am serious.
1. Gus Johnson (Far and away)
2. Dick Vitale
3. Bill Raftery (Distant third)
A pet peeve of mine (both as an ex-athlete and a fan) is ref inconsistency, especially at the end of games. Officials can't be perfect, that's understandable, so the next best thing is for them to be consistent over the entire course of the game.
(Forgive me if the details are little off, couldn't pinpoint the sequence on ESPN's play-by-play).
One huge play in the Indiana game was the obvious foul on Cody Zeller's offensive rebound in the final minutes when he chased a long rebound near the sideline. It was a great effort but he tackled two Michigan players (Stauskas and one more I can't remember) who were several steps ahead of him and clearly had position on the loose ball, blocking Zeller's angle. The no-call resulted in Indiana getting a fresh 35, which I believe was followed by a score. I think Michigan was down 6 during the play in question and if they get the ball back they can make it a one-possession game. Instead the lead is now 8 with only a few minutes left. This gets called 90% of the time during the first 35-38 minutes of the game, so why is it all of a sudden "okay" for the last couple? "Let the players play" and "they're not going to call that at the end of the game" yeah yeah, but all that means is, we're just going to have a massive shift in rule interpretation only at the end of the game and after an unknown amount of time has passed.
Don't get me wrong, Indiana outplayed Michigan and deserved that win. But these kinds of situations happen all the time and potentially have huge implications (see: Crabtree endzone no-call in the Super Bowl – in that case it's probably the correct call which gets wrongly called in regulation all the time).
End whining. Sorry. Beat OSU.
Totally agree.
I coached high school ball for 20 + years so I've been directly involved in far to many games where the refs swallow their whistles in the last minute.Few refs will acknowledge this phenomenon but those who do give the same answer: " We want the game decided by the players, not us." I find this answer to be a copout,the real answer is most refs lack the "onions."
RE: Mich I've coached and/or seen HS teams with better defensive fundemental skills.I tape,rewatch and grade many Mich games (am retired and once a coach always a coach) I focus on defense and don't think the casual fan realizes just how bad we are on basic defensive fundementals.
This Mich team is capable of winning it all but won't until the def fundementals improve.The effort is good,the talent is there and the players seem to have great attitudes so I have hope. GO BLUE
The on-ball defense has drastically improved over the past few years. Whether that's due to athelticism or coaching maybe is hard to tease out. But you're definitely correct. Against most teams they play, even statistically mediocre ones, it's painfully obvious how slow Michigan is on their rotations, especially off pick and roll. Teams in the NBA do this flawlessly and it's easy to take it for granted. Michigan was almost a full pass behind for most of the first half. And it's not just Indiana because this has been happening against a lot of B1G teams.
Not only for his obnoxious voice, but his constant flip-flopping. The man will be jocking Indiana and there crowd and suddenly Burke hits a three and he segways directly into how awesome he is, with a capital A, of course. But mostly it's just an Assembly Hall love-fest.the whole game, baby.
Dicky V stole his shtick from Al McGuire and it worn out it's welcome as far as I'm concerned.
announcer (more of a color man)? Al McGuire.

it's not really easy to do, but it would be possible if absolutely
necessary. I've added this to my TODO list, but probably won't do that
for a while, so this might happen again in the future. Will try to be
careful when the package name rings a bell, though.

The East Coast blizzard is gone, but its aftermath and agony have kept going. From airports to neighborhoods, the blizzard is the gift that just keeps giving misery.
The storm caused major headaches for airlines and airports, in particular. The ripple effect was felt by airports across the country, with roughly 7,000 flights in and out of the East Coast having to be cancelled. It has all made for long travel ordeals.
"We left Hong Kong on New York time the 26th, 9:30 p.m., night time," said Maria Chang, who flew from Hong Kong. "And I just got here now. Today is already the 28th. 26th to the 28th is 40 hours, flying from Hong Kong. I think I can go around the world."
Runways and gates buried in two feet of snow resulted in many passengers being trapped in jets on the tarmac for hours. Also, the numerous cancellations have left legions of would-be fliers stuck in airports.
"There is no service, no facilities," said Italia Bongarzone, a passenger from Italy. "So we spent a night in conditions, in animal conditions, I think."
In an age where airlines try to jam every jet as full as possible, there's little room to rebook all the people who lost their original flights to the blizzard.
Many travelers have now heard they may not get on-board another jet until the New Years arrives.
Meanwhile, unplowed roads in neighborhoods like the ones in New York City have led to a different kind of road rage.
"I've been delivering newspapers and I couldn't get down the block, but I tried anyway, and I got stuck," said Bill Farrell, a newspaper delivery man. "And this gentleman was kind enough to try to help me get out. But, it's been five hours."
Even where there is no snow or ice, winter's bite is hard, like in Florida, where residents are experiencing cold that hasn't been felt there in more than 80 years.
"We want to be on the beach, by the pool," said Marina Pinhaus, who visited from New York. "We want a tan! I'm wearing my coat that I wear in New York."
Thousands of New Yorkers expressed anger that their government has been so slow to clean up the city streets.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the snow fell so fast it was hard to keep up with it and that abandoned cars in the middle of the roads makes plowing hard. The city council has called for an investigation into the slow pace of the cleanup.

To view this entire report click here
We went bullish after Thursday's action and Friday individual stock action further confirmed that. We saw many quality stocks reset themselves and they appear ready to make a move going into quarter end. Granted the next support levels are about 2-3% lower but from the looks of the former leading stocks movement, this looks to be a higher probability entry point. Volume was up sharply and on an up day and this is something we haven't seen in some time. The only problem is the heavy volume was due to the rebalancing of the Russell indices.
For better or for worse the financial reform bill is getting passed so the uncertainty brought on by that process could be behind us. This led to some short covering and a move in some of the financial names. If that area can catch fire followed by a break above the 50 day moving average on the EUR/USD along with quarter end window dressing, we have the potential for a huge rally. If we are wrong we will know in about 2-3% when we hit the recent lows. We had some setups trigger on Friday and we have a few more good looking setups with some disclaimers
Due to market conditions these setups are still extremely risky. It's probably not a bad idea to wait for further confirmation of a short term bottom but for those looking for some trade setups the following should do well if the market rallies.
If you are looking for some trades in this risky market we would go with the following stocks trading above the following prices.

Freddie Scott
Share This
Best remembered for his 1966 R&B chart-topper "Are You Lonely for Me," deep soul belter
Freddie Scott
was born April 24, 1933, in Providence, RI. In his early teens, he performed with his grandmother's gospel group, Sally Jones & the Gospel Keyes, but then gravitated toward a career in medicine, working on his Ph.D. at Paine College in Augusta, GA. There
joined the Swanee Quintet Juniors, a teen version of the famed gospel act, making his recorded debut singing lead on their "Far Away Places." He soon abandoned med school in favor of a performing career, crossing over from spiritual gospel to secular soul and in 1956 signing to
Zell Sanders
' J&S label to issue his debut solo single, "Running Home."
The record earned little attention, but
Johnnie & Joe
scored soon after with the
-penned "I'll Be Spinning." However, in late 1956 he was called up for military duty, briefly serving in Korea. But
's service stint did not completely curtail his recording career, and for the tiny Bow and Arrow label he cut 1957's "Tell Them for Me," followed a year later by "Please Call" and "A Faded Memory." After completing his military stint,
landed with the short-lived Enrica label for 1959's "Come On, Honey," and when it met the same indifference that greeted his previous records he focused on songwriting, teaming with
Helen Miller
to compose for
Al Nevins
Don Kirshner
's Brill Building firm Aldon Music.
sang on many of his Aldon demos and worked briefly as a producer, helming sessions for
Aretha Franklin
's sister
. In 1961, he also resumed his recording career, cutting "Baby, You're a Long Time Dead" for the Joy label. In 1962, fellow Aldon songwriters
Gerry Goffin
Carole King
approached him for assistance with "Hey Girl," a new tune they hoped to pitch to soul singer
Chuck Jackson
. When
proved unable to make the scheduled recording session,
cut the vocal instead, and when Colpix Records finally issued the ballad a year later, he entered the Top Ten on both the pop and R&B charts. A slow-burning rendition of
Ray Charles
' R&B classic "I Got a Woman" followed, affirming
as a deep soul singer of uncommon depth (even if efforts like his third Colpix entry, "Where Does Love Go," suffered from sugary over-production).
Diminishing commercial returns combined with Colpix's crumbling infrastructure to relocate
to parent label Columbia, which dubbed him "the Million Dollar Baby" and recast him as a crooner with 1964's "One Heartache Too Many." In 1965, he even released
Everything I Have Is Yours
, a cabaret-inspired LP comprised largely of hit movie themes. The makeover fell flat, and
returned to a more traditional soul dynamic with the excellent
Lonely Man
. Record sales were virtually nonexistent, however, and after two last-gasp Columbia singles -- including the poignant ballad "Don't Let It End This Way" -- the label let him go.
resurfaced in 1966 at Shout Records, the fledgling soul label founded by producer/songwriter
Bert Berns
-- together they co-wrote "Are You Lonely for Me," a simmering, bluesy knockout that reportedly required over 100 vocal takes prior to completion.
's Herculean effort was rewarded with a record that topped the R&B charts for four weeks while rising to number 39 on the pop charts. The 1967 follow-up, "Cry to Me," proved a commercial disappointment, but
's impassioned, tender performance represents his creative apex. He returned to the R&B Top Ten with the funky "Am I Grooving You?," and while "Just Like a Flower" missed the charts entirely, 1968's "(You) Got What I Need" earned a spot in the R&B Top 40 as well as an eccentric cover by rapper
Biz Markie
some 20 years later.
But after
died of a massive heart attack on December 31, 1967, his widow, Eileen, proved unable to keep Shout Records afloat, and following one last Shout single, "No One Could Ever Love You,"
left the label, spending the next two years without a record deal. He finally landed with the short-lived Elephant V, issuing "Sugar on Sunday" in 1970. After cutting a follow-up, "I'll Be Leaving Her Tomorrow," he again packed his bags, moving to ABC's Probe imprint for
I Shall Be Released
, scoring his final R&B Top 40 entry with the title cut, a powerful rendition of the
Bob Dylan
When Probe folded,
was again seeking a place to record, signing to Vanguard for the one-off 1971 single "I Guess God Wants It That Way." Pickwick International released 1972's "The Great If," and two years later
resurfaced on Mainstream with the ballad "You Are So Hard to Forget," which proved his final single. By now he made his living primarily through writing advertising jingles with longtime composing partner
, and also turned to acting, appearing in the films Stiletto and No Way Out.
also maintained a busy live schedule well into the 1980s before spending the following decade in virtual hibernation. He returned to music after agreeing to record a version of
Van Morrison
's "Brown Eyed Girl" for an Evangeline Records tribute album -- the project introduced
to producer Jon Tiven, and together they hatched plans to record a blues LP, in 2001 releasing
Brand New Man
, his first new material in close to a quarter century.
passed away on June 4, 2007.

Beverly Hills Mystery
Is There a Cancer Cluster at a Famed L.A. High School? Erin Brockovich Thinks So
Now she believes the wrong was done to her and that the culprit was her old school Beverly Hills High, alma mater to celebs ranging from Nicolas Cage to Monica Lewinsky. Backing Moss's claim is a star of another sort—Erin Brockovich, the file-clerk-turned-environmental-sleuth immortalized by Julia Roberts in the 2000 film. Brockovich and her boss, attorney Ed Masry, say they've uncovered more than 300 cancer cases among alumni of the famous public school. They blame fumes from 15 oil and gas wells under the campus—and since late April they have filed 216 personal-injury claims against the school district and the city of Beverly Hills. "When I have 300 cancers staring me in the face and an oil-production facility underneath the school," says Brockovich (who in 1996 helped win 600 residents of Hinkley, Calif., a $333 million settlement from Pacific Gas & Electric in a water-contamination suit), "it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the two fit together."
Many scientists disagree. "We haven't seen any evidence of cause and effect," says L.A. County's director of toxics epidemiology Dr. Cyrus Rangan. But Brockovich says she connected the dots after meeting Moss, a homemaker, at a book signing last year and learning of her two cancers. After some sleuthing, Brockovich says, she found that among the roughly 10,000 students who attended the school between 1981 and 1998, the incidence of some types of cancer, based on age, was about 20 times the national average. She also says her tests found levels of toxic oil by-products such as benzene and formaldehyde far exceeding government safety standards.
State regulators, however, say their own testing has revealed nothing abnormal, and the school district also disputes the charges. "I'm a father of three," says Barry Wallerstein, a South Coast Air Quality Management District official and an alum. "Would I allow my kids to go there? Yes."
Medical experts contest the claimants' cancer statistics and point out that most of their ailments—Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and thyroid cancer—have not been linked to petroleum products. "To call this a cancer cluster is a misnomer," says Dr. Rangan. Brockovich is undeterred. "We get so caught up in the legal and scientific explanation of these cases when sometimes common sense can be applied," she says. "Any time you have a developing child who has been potentially exposed to high levels of a chemical that's known to cause cancer, it might cause Hodgkin's."
Companies have been drilling on the site since 1906, 22 years before the school opened; the present wells have operated since the early '80s. Venoco, which currently holds the lease, denies responsibility for any illnesses. The company briefly shut down the operation this month after a piece of equipment was found to be emitting high levels of benzene, but it says the cancer risk was negligible. The wells earn the school system and the city $600,000 a year in royalties-money that Brockovich says has blinded the authorities. "They knew there was a potential problem," she says, "but it was ignored."
For claimant Lori Urov, class of '84, that's not an option. Now 36 and living in Brooklyn, N.Y., she is in the advanced stages of Hodgkin's disease. "I'm bleeding everywhere from scratching," says the former social worker, who has 4-year-old twins. "These people took something away from me and my family. If all this could have been prevented, I would like my family to have some compensation."
Though a judge has yet to decide if a lawsuit will go forward, Lori Moss wants payback too. She takes medication every day to replace her thyroid hormones and lives with the constant threat of a recurrence. "Cancer has already robbed me of much of my 20s," says Moss, married to marketing exec Randy Moss, 35. "In my 30s I want to start a family and get on with my life."

Tonight, Iowans can see the premiere of a documentary released by President Barack Obama's re-election campaign at more than 30 sites around the state.
The trailer for film, "The Road We've Traveled," has the feel of a campaign advertisement, featuring in a flattering light Obama's responses to the complexities of health care reform, the country's economic woes, the near-failure of the auto industry, and the orchestration of the mission to kill Osama bin Laden.
The documentary was narrated by actor Tom Hanks and directed by Davis Guggenheim, who also did Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth."
According to the Obama campaign, "The film is an opportunity to put into perspective the challenges the country faced when President Obama took office, the tough decisions he made in the face of those challenges and the progress we've made in rebuilding an economy that's meant to last and strengthening and securing our nation."
The start times for the five Iowa screening parties range from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. tonight.
At 8:20 p.m. tonight, the Iowa State University men's basketball team makes its first appearance in the NCAA tournament since 2005.

ok, moving right along into our second series in scouting the runningback class. I do have several more players to talk about in this section and will toss in some back ground on the sleepers as well.
So we will jump right into it, there will be two parts to the RB series.
Knowshon Moreno 5-10 217 pounds Georgia
In my heart, I love big backs. So when it comes down to a 200 pound scat back or 235 pound bruiser, you know where Im going to go. That is most of the time.
Moreno is special, he's the kind of kid you watch looking for flaws and when you find one you realize he negates his flaws in other ways. He doenst have a big frame, and cant really push a pile. So he bounces off contact for extra yards. He doesnt have a big enough frame to handle the beating in the NFL, yet he rarely takes the big shot, and while he doesnt have the ability to run though players and bust arm tackles, his spin move is at the elite level, guys line him up only to tackle air. Cant grind for tough yards in the red zone, no problem, kid is an explosive leaper in a way that reminded me of a Marcus Allen in the way he runs around the goalline. Ok, well he isnt going to outrun defensive backs, but his vision is so good he is constantly challenging the angles you take to get to him. He bounces he runs outside to often, yet he has the elite level burst to do it. Moreno is also a very good pass catcher, and has been asked to protect the QB in the Georgia offense.
Warning Highlight videos are just that, 20 or 30 highlights from a 600 plus snaps they took during a season. Watch the highlights and see if in them the player made the play, or benifited from the play of others. There is ususally a good sprinkle of both in the highlights.
Moreno isnt the perfect back, he is just a really good one. I have concerns on if he can handle being the man in the NFL for 16 to 18 games. In a zone system, this kid could be scarry, really scarry if he had a running mate that was maybe 5-9 205 pounds and could share the load with him…..just saying.
Chris Wells 6-1 235 pounds Ohio State
This kid was the highest rated RB when you looked at him as just a back.
6-1 235 pounds, has a bit of a long stride, but has the expetional quick feet. Can hit you with power, elusive, can out run ya, or run over ya. Has a very good burst and for a big back has a slack jaw cut back ability. I love the stiff arm this kid brings with him to the game, reminds me of that Earl Campbell bone he used to stick on defenders. Another great thing about the kids is his spin move. Man, your expectingthe big shoulder pads and "whoop" nothing but air. Explosive back, he also can do anything you ask, he can play in a power man, or zone system, that wont be a problem for this kid. He gets north south quick and doest waste yardage running for the sideline on everyplay.
Kid also has a rep for being a bit on the spoiled side, his toughness has been questioned, and he has a history of injuries that is a concern. If he is spoiled you have to get that information out of the coaches surrounding the program, Im just passing along the second hand information on this one. He does run a bit hot or cold at times, and motivation could play into that. He did well in drills at the combine, but he hasnt been used as a receiver much, so there are concerns there as well.
There arent a ton of holes in his game, its the fear factor with Well that almost has him with boom or bust status. The potential is there, in fact its outstanding, the problem is he could be Lendale White just as easy a Adrian Peterson. He is another kid that sure would look good though with a 5-9 200 pound running mate, I do feel these two kids could make the Texans jump from a good offense at moving the chains, but cant really score. To an exceptional offense, that can score, hit you with the big play, and then grind the time away…..just sayin.
Shonn Green 5-10 227 pounds Iowa
I love me some Shonn Greene as a running back. He doesnt have the tools the others above him have, and he reminds me of Gary Brown a bit. That said, the other backs do not have that piston leg low center of gravity base that makes this kid so effective. He has outstanding vision, even though some say he doesnt because he doesnt avoid people. I think that has more to do with his running style as opposed to the lack of vision. He is a very patient back and reads the lanes very well awaiting for the cutback lane to develop on the inside zone play. He will punish you and run though arm tackles. He holds on the ball and gets low upon contact. You would expect to see the big bulging thighs that arent there with the the way he pounds forward, but its his outstanding balence, low center, and heart that make him so difficult for the first guy to bring down.
You have to project a bit with Green. Im sorry but a bunch of his games were against teams like, Indiana. This kid isnt a first round player, and in other systems guys like LeSean McCoy and Donald Brown would carry higher round two grades. I scout for what would fit the Texans, and this kid does. He does not have elite level burst or even close to elite level top end speed. He does appear faster that what he is though due to good insticts and the competition he played against. He has concerns since he was in a ton of academic trouble at Iowa, and also had weight issues there as well, which bothers me, but is understandable when ruled ineligable. Will be interested to see how he converts to a pass catcher when asked. I have a round 3 grade on him, in the Texans system.
You will notice some missing names. If they dont fit the Texans system they are going to carry a lower grade. Even though they may grade out higher on some other teams board. LeSean McCoy carries a second round grade as a back but isnt as good a fit for the Texans as I think Shonn Greene would be for an example.
The Texans are expected to draft defense, that said would you concider Moreno or Wells at 15?
( online surveys)
Since I brought up Gary Brown, your those of you who dont remember who he was.

At Nichols, my high school, we recently had a group of students from Le Havre, France, visit for about three weeks. Each French student was paired with a Nichols student who was studying French. The student paired with me was Jules Maitrepierre.
Jules not only went to school here, but he also lived with my family and me for the three weeks. Jules was fun to have around. He was very curious about America and was willing to try anything to experience what life is like here. It was interesting to be around him because he had different opinions on lots of things, so I got to see my life from the viewpoint of someone from another culture.
My family and I made sure Jules got to experience different kinds of American food. Naturally, he had some Buffalo specialties like chicken wings and beef on weck. He also had tried other types of American food, such as Jambalaya, New England lobster rolls with corn on the cob, and Tex-Mex. While he was here, he cooked some specialties from Normandy (the part of France where he lives) for us. My family and I thought they were great.
He also got to see local sights like Niagara Falls. He toured some of the great local architecture and especially liked City Hall. He visited art museums and was amazed by the Albright-Knox. We took him to a Sabres game, and he thought HSBC Arena was exciting.
We took him to Toronto for a weekend. We visited the Hockey Hall of Fame, the Eaton Centre, the Hard Rock Cafe and the Queen Street West area with all its trendy boutiques and cool little restaurants. That was definitely his favorite part of Toronto.
Jules also went to school with me. His English is very good, so he was able to understand almost everything in the classroom. He thought the teachers here were really nice, and he felt that students here could talk to their teachers more than he could at his school in France. He definitely thought the school hours were better here. In France, he goes to school six days a week. His school day in France is 8:30 to 5:30, except for Wednesdays and Saturdays where they have a half day. On full days, they have an hour and a half for lunch, and they can leave school during that time and have lunch at home or wherever they want.
Jules said he really enjoyed his time here. One difference he saw between the two cultures is that most people here don't spend as much time together at meals as they do in France. In France, dinner is an important family event. He also thought the food portions here were much bigger, especially at dinner.
He also enjoyed our music and television shows.
He said he believes the pace of life is faster here. He said that, in France, people were much more relaxed and laid back -- they don't feel like they have to be busy all the time.
My family and I enjoyed having Jules around.
John Tank is a sophomore at Nichols School.

The latest rumored candidate to take the helm of NASA - retired U.S. Air Force Gen Lester Lyles - told The Dayton (Ohio) Daily News Wednesday that he would not accept a nomination to be the next NASA administrator.
Lyles, 62, said that "he serves on various corporate boards and has an array of stock holdings and the opportunity to acquire more stock, and that giving those up in order to head the National Aeronautics and Space Administration would have been a financial hardship."
Currently, former Texas Congressman Nick Lampson has been a consideration. A Democrat, Lampson served four terms in the U.S. House of Representatives from Texas' 9th Congressional District. He served another term in Congress before being defeated in the November election. He represented the Texas 22nd Congressional District, which holds Johnson Space Center, home to NASA astronauts and Mission Control.
Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Tuscaloosa reserved to express his judgment of his former colleague in Washington, he told The Times earlier this month. "Nick would be capable, and he has a track record of working with both sides of Capitol Hill, but I would reserve any judgment on any potential nominee until that process is complete," he said. "I don't want to play a guessing game."
The U.S. Senate approves the NASA administrator post, which has been vacant since Mike Griffin stepped down in January. Griffin is taking a job with the University of Alabama in Huntsville as an eminent scholar.
Since the November election, speculation on who will take over has circled around former associate administrators as well as astronaut Sally Ride and President Obama's campaign space policy adviser Lori Garver. Also, retired U.S. Air Force Gen Scott Gration was considered but he took another job with the Obama Administration.
Also, heavy speculation was focused on retired U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Charles Bolden, a former NASA astronaut and manager. The White House has made no official nomination to date.
Editor's note: This post has been updated to include former Texas Congressman Nick Lampson's previous experience as a U.S. representative.

People swim for a variety of reasons, but the longer you can do so, the more benefits you reap from the exercise. According to PBS Kids.org, the speed of swimming is not as important as the length of time in the pool. Not only do longer swims improve cardiovascular and mental health, they also improve your times during competitions. Therefore, it is crucial to find a variety of ways to swim as long as possible.
Team Training
Swimming is considered an individual sport; however, swimmers usually train alongside other men, women, boys and girls of varying ages and abilities. Doing so affords many benefits, including that of providing encouragement and motivation. Team members encourage you to attend practice and stay for the entire workout, knowing you will be missed if not present. In addition, swimming with teammates motivates you to swim even harder and longer to keep up with someone faster than you. This healthy competition provides additional encouragement to swim extra workouts on your own time.
Dry Land Exercises
Dry land exercises, or any workouts outside of the pool, are a crucial aspect of swimming. Muscles throughout your body work in harmony and allow you to swim for long periods of time. The more muscle strength built up outside of the pool, the longer you will be able to swim in the water. The Atlantic Coast Conference recommends choosing exercise equipment, such as stair climbers and rowing machines, that works the same muscles used during swimming. The time of year dictates the focus of dry land training for swimmers, ranging from general conditioning to build endurance and cardiovascular fitness at the beginning of the season to less-strenuous maintenance routines at the end of the season.
Swimming Camps and Clinics
The better your stroke technique, the longer you will be able to swim using minimal effort. Improving your distance per stroke naturally allows you to propel yourself faster and further in the water. Attend a swimming camp or clinic in your area. These sessions, ranging from one day to a full week, place heavy focus on stroke technique, something coaches do not spend much time on during swimming workouts. Organizations such as USA Swimming sanction a variety of camps such as National and Zone Select camps. These are mostly composed of top swimmers in your area who are invited to participate. However, if you are not a top swimmer, choose a swimming camp offered by a local university that allows all individuals to participate and improve stroke technique.
Personal Motivation
Set personal goals that motivate you to swim longer and practice at a more vigorous level. Use USA Swimming's time standards to assist in setting realistic goals for your swimming ability. Start with shorter distances, such as the 50-meter freestyle, and work your way up to goals for the 1,500-meter freestyle as your fitness level increases. Invest in a waterproof music player and headphones and play motivating and upbeat music to pass the time during long swims. The more entertained you stay during the workout, the more likely you are to swim longer.
