I think in the evaluation of best jumpER one must take into account consistency and frequency. Now, if we're just evaluating best ladies' JUMPS period, then of course, it's a different criteria.

This is tricky for me. To me, being able to do the jumps and doing them consistently aren't always synonymous. The obvious names we all know, like Kim, Mao, Ito, Gold, and the Russians. However, I personally have a fondness for skaters who are consistent, like Kwan. Some of the most technically brilliant jumpers today have not performed consistently this season, and that diminishes their abilities in my eyes. Gracie, to me, has such pure technique, but if I'm comparing her one great performance to, say, Irina's career, I can't say she's better. Yet. If I had the time and dedication, I'd go over each skater's performance at a major competition, what triples and combinations they attempted, and how many were successful, and the difficulty of these jumps.

No doubt Midori is the best jumper, better than most of guys!
Among the current ladies, I think Gold and Yuna are the best overall - speed, flow, height, distance, great air position, difficulty, consistency (Yuna is very consistent), etc. Liza is a great jumper, too. In terms of qualities, I think Caro has amazing jumps!
I wouldn't dismiss Shizuka that quickly, though. She didn't always underrotate, she kept her triple-triples well-maintained through a long career, and she also had quite a large repertoire of different triple-triples. I wouldn't put her above Midori and YuNa (my 1 and 2), but I'd list her as one of the best jumpers.
i'm not going to evaluate skaters like midori and surya since i was little when they skated, so i will do the ones in recent years. my best:
yuna: fast, BIG, fearless jumps. she flies into them and is so consistent and has hard content minus the loop.
mao: very light, high jumps. she floats and makes them look so easy.
caro: very powerful, also fearless jumps for the most part. very big and lovely air position.
rachael: i know a lot of people wouldn't agree, but she is (was ) very consistent and "reliable rachael." she always delivered and almost never fell or pop and made jumping look easy.
gracie: for obvious reasons. big, floaty, effortless jumps with perfect technique. consistent for the most part. difficult jump content also.
adelina: she is fairly inconsistent, but when she hits they are gorgeous. nice and big.
julia: again, not huge jumps, but consistent and nice to look at.
liza: perfect technique, SO consistent, hard jump content.
ashley: i have always been a fan of her feet in the air, they are very neat and her jumps are good sized. they've become much better in the past couple years with her improved consistency.
agnes: inconsistent but very powerful and huge jumps.
courtney: like someone else said, huge but dirty jumps. they need major polishing but they are HUGE.
I just hope that one day, Gracie Gold will declare at a press conference that YuNa Kim deserved to be on the podium with her.
teheheehehee Sorry I couldn't resist! I like them both!!!
I have to admit that I am shocked that surya is making any lists as one of the best jumpers, I mean I loved to watch her and she was a great entertainer but it wasnt just her take offs, she under rotated...alot . It wasnt just the quad attempts (Though I always admired her for going for them) the triple triples were ur,d most of the time and also the flips and lutzes were also often under rotated and she had those stiff landings aswell.
I think Miki is very under rated as a jumper and also as a skater in general, her jumps were things of beauty.
Sorry JMO
I think it's a bit early to put anyone ahead of YuNa, except for Midori Ito, who's ahead of everyone including some of the men.
Mao Asada
Midori Ito
Miki Ando
I chose those women because of the unbelievable jump content they have displayed through there career!
Here is Gracie, at age 16, at the WTT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQh4zMQDLSI The potential is clearly there, but she needs to land her 3-3 to really be mentioned in the same category as Yu Na.

With demolition permits in hand, crews are getting ready to bring down the walls and build a new Queen's Medical Center West Oahu.
Donning hard hats and construction vests, members of the media took a tour inside the walls of the new hospital.
It's a "before" shot before crews start tearing out the walls next week.
What strikes you the most are the orange lines throughout the hospital. And this word sums it up -- demo. Those lines tell workers what needs to go.
"This is a building that's over 20 years old and it needs a lot of work to make new. So, at the end of this, we will have a new hospital here," said Susan Murray, senior vice president of Queen's Medical Center West Oahu.
The emergency room in the old Hawaii Medical Center West was the second busiest in the state and it will now be tripled in size. Beds will be increased from 10 to 23.
Two operating rooms will be doubled to four. Work will be done not only on walls, but in infrastructure to accommodate the specialized lighting and technology used in surgery.
Most of the equipment at the old hospital was sold -- some of it through publicized garage sales. It was not part of the deal.
Yet, some things still remain.
"You see that x-ray box in the back?' asked Whitney Limm, Queen's Medical Center vice president of clinical integration. "This hospital, when it was built, they put that in. We don't use x-ray boxes anymore. We have monitor images, radiological images, stored and transmitted through the Internet."
The labor-intensive surgeries, like cardiovascular and organ transplants, will remain downtown.
The West Oahu campus will be the community hospital offering general and orthopedic surgeries.
Separated by miles and traffic, but still one Queen's.
"If you do x-ray out here or you get a sound wave study of your heart done here, it can be sent to our central campus where they can read this,' said Robert Hong, Queen's Medical Center chief of staff. "Our turnaround time should be optimal to patient care."
Queen's officials hope to open the doors to Queen's Medical Center West Oahu in spring of next year.

why dont you think posting a picture of naked men is wack???????
do you have an answer to that, because I didnt see you b****ing about that,
but when I post, its a f***ing way out of line
Posted 20 June 2007 - 06:55 PM
people had a problem initially with my post,
i had people calling for my head and to ban me from the board...
i explained my position and my thought process behind it and now people support me and understand where i was coming from and for the most part agree...
see, you cant seem to make people understand where you are coming from because you just keep talkig shit,
youre whole position is like
"Im right, you are wrong"
if everyone is saying you're wrong, you should maybe think about why.
perhaps its what you are saying, and how you are saying it.

wtf is there to be wrong or right about.............
There is nothing to be right or wrong about, you a straight player hater..
Heres my position, on my forums you and the same mfers have been picking at me for some reason, wtf am i supposed to say?
Heres what Im supposed to say:
Yeah I ask some questions, yeah I want to know what you all are doing because there aint no goddamn person with a clue of what I do in my f***ing town, not one person who cares about music the way I do so even though for the most part I got my game down tight, I still have questions, In this game you never become a master, you always are a student, forever....................
Posted 20 June 2007 - 07:10 PM
a master will always learn, perhaps the true sign of a master, admitting he does not know all.
you can master yourself, that way you can get the most out of life with the littlest exurtion but you will always learn, that will never stop...
The way you put it, student sounds dumb,
a master, you make it sound unattainble,
both are untrue.
how old are? Im 30, and im just really learning this stuff myself.
anyhow, i dont know why you think people are hating on you (as you started this thread)
maybe people are just hating on you in your real life and your real life sucks...
well guess what, smarting up or you'll get run over throughout your whole life....
believe me i know from experience,,
perhaps thats been my passage from student to master,
however Im still learning and will do every day, but I will never act stupid.
Posted 20 June 2007 - 07:14 PM
maybe people are just hating on you in your real life and your real life sucks...
Well, there was alot of responses when I posted this thread so Im obviously not making it up? duh...
My life doesnt suck by the way: got a great part time job that pays lots, and I dont do anything ( I repair computers, but usually my boss just lets me surf the net.), Got a studio, good beats, etc......
You got one thing right though, there are haters in my real life........they all over.....
Not that I dont have friends but theres not many friends to have when there are less then 200 people who go to your school......................................................
Posted 20 June 2007 - 07:19 PM
whne you greet someone by saying "fuck you"
they wont like you.
when you begin on the wrong foot its hard to get on the right.
yah dig,
youre thread started off negative,
so guess what?...
the responses were negative.

Special thoughts from Topeka KS
Posted 20 June 2007 - 08:28 PM
Pete Rock (37)
Rza (38)
DJ Premier (40)
Dr. Dre (42)
Marley Marl (44)
These guys were successful and driven, what I was trying to say was some of you only think of this as a hobby, whereas I take it seriously. All those guys have been making music since they were young, (40's isnt old, but its old if your STILL trying to get in the game)
When I post on this message board, its to get away from producing for alittle bit, I like message boards. I like to know what others are doing, like to know others styles and techniques, the more techniques and styles I know the easier it is to make my own. THE FOOL THAT IGNORES OTHERS WAYS, AND SURCUMBS TO HIS OWN WAYS STAYS A FOOL FOREVER...
Im not gonna post my beats because some busta wants me to, like I said, when the album gets done, yall will hear it in its entirty.
Like Kayne West said "I used to make wack beats, it doesnt mean sh**, look at me now, Im the best..."
Yeah, I post alot, I got alot to say. Ive been talking about Beatkings alot lately because its a very good inspiring documentary.
Sometimes this message board is wack, people up hear dissing on Madlib. NEWS FLASH--THIS WEBSITE IS STONES THROW WEBSITE THE LABEL MADLIB IS ON, IF YOU DONT LIKE MADLIB GET THE H3LL OUT OF HERE!!!! DUH!!!!!!!!!!
I dont understand people who diss artists anyway, because at the end of the day, you diss an artists he is still richer and more popular than you and most of the people on here (self included)...
Basically, where I live there is nobody to teach me, nothing to learn from, nobody to give me support........Nobody....................I learned this all by myself, and with some help from the web, people who actually give advice............
I also listened carefully to what those before me did by listening closely to albums i have, listening to the tempo, effects, etc.........
Go back to playing with toy trains, the game aint no hobby....
I just couldnt resist saying something here.
You need to start reading more than posting. Theres people on these boards that been on the boards since well Feb 02 and in the game before that. I have little doubt that you were probably jacking off to Dragonball Z or some shit at the time. You have no real clue what The Game is all about. If you did you wouldnt be here posting about it. so STFU...no hate =)
Posted 20 June 2007 - 09:50 PM

Lot a hating on DanSmith lately...
First things last......the people in the game now didnt get to be where they are by "living life" or "taken their time" on sh**. Some of you do this for a hobby, I dont...
You have to know that if there is somebody who wants it more than you do, they will succeed and you will fail but make b*** excuses like Im taking my time, living life, etc...
Oh about my records question, I just wanted some opinions, its not like I do everything everybody tells me too... You got to have your own style but at the same time be aware of what other people are doing.
Guess nobody here has watched BEATKINGS because that film will hit you with real knowledge.
All it takes is one person who wants it more than you... Just one person..... Thats why you old folks (middle age folks) are still grinding but not succeeding...
Im going to go back to producing, but just want to let you haters know that ima keep doing my thing and you guys can go back to your "hobby"
Im going to go to college, but a 9-5 is the last thing I want to do.....Im driven...............
This clown can not be for real, is this Danny Hoch from the movie White Boys?
Posted 21 June 2007 - 07:49 AM
bottom line, post up ur beats, we'll tell u what we think, and give feedback on how to get better
dont be steppin to us sayin, "i want it more than you" if u aint presenting nothin.
either fuck up or fuck off
Posted 21 June 2007 - 07:56 AM
i'm 30 so i guess i'm one of those "middle aged folks" as you put it.
i have a 9 to 5. music is not a hobby for me. it just isn't my "career".
i've only been on this site for maybe 2 weeks. probably half of the threads i have read in that time were started by you. that's not necessarily a bad thing, but it definately gives me (us) some insight into your world.
so here's the advice off the top of my head:
your album doesn't matter. it sounds like you want it so you can show people at school that you aren't a joke, in fact you have said that. there are still going to be people that think you are a joke.
those people don't matter.
more importantly though, you are not going to make the definitive dansmith album now. no matter how hard you try, even if your brother drops the gf and puts in as many hours on it as you do, you are not ready. so don't worry about it so much.
here's how i know you aren't ready - you are on here asking people what records to buy. what gear to buy, etc. there is nothing wrong with that if you don't have a group of people you can ask in person locally. that is what is great about forums like this. however i can tell without a doubt that you are not to the point in your music making where you have found your style. that is not a bad thing, everybody goes through it. it takes a lot of time and a lot writing and it isn't something you can force.
you say you have drive. i can tell. drive is definately good. but if you had already found yourself muscially you would already know what i am about to say...
fuck your brother. he's obviously not as into this as you. you seem to feel you need him to do it. you don't. well, right now you might, in fact you probably do as you seem to feel like you do. that makes it seem like you feel he has more skills than you. but in the long run you won't need him.
so to sum things up i say, forget the album, take your drive and spend all summer (or whatever you time frame was) and listen to and make as much music as you can. don't worry about making the best tracks, make tons. save all of them. when you get to the point that things slow down and you don't know what to do next on a song/idea, start a new one.
learn your mpcs and whatever else you have inside out. try out every feature and see where it leads you.
the more music you make the more you will start to find your own style. your own workflow. 20 or 30 or 50 tracks/songs/beats/ideas from now you won't need your brother.
probably when your time is up you will have 3 or 4 strong ideas you can finish up into good songs and have a really really strong EP. a really strong EP of your style once you find your style will do a lot more for you than an album of stuff you (and your brother who is currently distracted) would make right now.
most importantly don't ever lose the drive. you are going to need that once you find your style.
of and definately take advantage of people on this site that are willing to listen to your tracks and give you feedback as it sounds like you don't have that resource locally. post up tons of ideas (find a way to do it without having to start tons of threads) before they are finished to see what people suggest. you don't have to follow all of the suggestions but feedback is good.

DanSmith -
1. You talk a whole mess of shit on a wide range of things.
2. You are constantly talking trash about people being less driven than you.
3. You ask people here for advaice or tips, and we have provided in most cases.
4. You act like you're the shit, and yet no one here has heard a single one of your tracks.
5. Numbers one through four are the reason you're getting hate now. It's a good idea to be humble with your game, even if you ARE the shit.
6. You have a lot to learn...we all do...but being a prick won't earn you any teachers or mentors...it'll make people dislike you.
7. If you're gonna talk a big game, make sure you can back it up.
8. You have the attitude and self-image of Kanye, but without a single note of music to back it.
9. If you're so driven and constantly making music, then why are you on here as much as you are?
10. I don't really have anything else to say at the moment, but I thought this would look better if I hit ten points.

I guess you guys figure Nas just woke up one day poored some coffee in his cup and said "Im think im gonna make a hit today."
Yo, it wasn't coffee, son...it was a capri sun juice bag.
Anyways, relaaaaaaaax Dan Smith. It's all good here, no need to start referring to yourself in the third person (not a good look). but seriously, if you feel that someone is hating on you then fuck em', right?
At any rate, just chill out, don't get distracted with this b.s. and make some beats. I just peeped your myspace and there ain't no beats on it but there is a blog post from last week where you claim that you have two hot beats to post very soon....where are they? You want this worse than anyone here, right? Seriously though, if you really want it, then do more than just stir up a bunch of salty haters (such as myself) with posts like this.
Relaaaax, fuck the nonsense, make beats, talk about em' with people on boards.......and post some music young hungry cat!!!
Posted 21 June 2007 - 12:52 PM
Hey critisize my beats...no one has done it before..,
Your beats are so ill they make me want to puke in my hands and smear it on the next person to walk by me, yo. Sike, I've listened to your shit I love it...as a matter of fact, I'm going to reach out to you right now on myspace and ask you to be my buddy. MD stand the fuck up (what does that mean anyways?). By the way, I love that fuckin' image you have on your myspace (the default pic).
Later, double 0.

My husband works in non-profit and is the head of a very small organization. He works hard, does a lot on a small budget and I'm very proud of what he does. He worked alone for a while but got money to hire some others. One, the second in command if you will, got hired and then dropped the bomb that she was pregnant. I told him, I wouldn't tell you I was pregnant in a job interview! Can't blame her at all. He's been very supportive, giving her time off whenever she needs it. It's been hard, though since he just hired this person and now he'll be out of a worker for 7 weeks.
Now if I were going to do it all over again with a first child, I would have tried to get myself in a position where I could bring my kid to work for a while because she was so quiet and content in a sling at my breast that often people would forget she was there. I wanted my dh to offer that arrangement to his employee, but he pointed out numerous reasons why that would not be a good idea in their situation. Hm. Fine.
Then I said to him, where is she going to pump?! The office is one huge room: no cubicles or anything, just three large desks in a huge space.. and a giant store front widow at the front. There's a back room with coffee and then there's the bathroom. It seems the only way she's going to be guaranteed privacy is in the bathroom. There's only one toilet. The bathroom is harsh, but big. I'm thinking if I got a comfy chair in there and a table...
He asked, How many times will she need to pump?? I could see him suddenly thinking, great, she's going to need even more accommodations! But he didn't say that. He knows better and the last thing he wants is to be a jerk about this. But he's also ignorant about this because the mother of his child is a stay at home mom and his child never took a bottle.
So, I'm taking this on. This woman will not fail at pumping and breastfeeding while working at MY husband's organization. This organization is all about children's health, by the way.
What does this lady need? How long does it take you to pump and how often did you do it at first? What kind of arrangement do you have at your work?
Any advice or ideas?

Are they gregarious or do they have a tendency to ignore them?
From personal experience,
My sister has a cross bred dog who gets along with all my elkies. My recent little puppy (5 months of age) loves nothing better then to play with all his puppy friends in sweepstakes
We also have a bitch, socialised the same way all our elkies have been but since she had a urine infection as a young puppy, around the time when a dog lashed out at her and resulted in her splitting her ear open, she will not get along with anyother dog now. She is happiest on her own. But she loves greeting people in the comfort of her own enviroment.

Woman stole from Montgomery contruction company
November 26, 2013 —
New York State Police in Montgomery announce the arrest of Christine M. Coffey, age 47, of Staten Island, NY, who was charged with the felony charge of Grand Larceny in the second degree.
New York State Police BCI at Montgomery conducted a investigation which resulted in Coffey's arrest. Coffey is accused of stealing in excess of $390,000 from her former employer in the Town of New Windsor. She was employed as a secretary for a local construction company and is accused of forging more than 600 company checks. She would then either cash or deposit the forged business checks into her bank account. Coffey engaged in this course of conduct over a period of several years resulting in the theft of approximately $390,000.
Christine M. Coffey was located and arrested in Staten Island by members of Troop NYC Violent Felony Warrant Squad and the U.S. Marshall Service Regional Fugitive Task Force. She was arraigned before Town of New Windsor Town Justice Richard Thorpe and was committed to the Orange County Jail without bail. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for 11/26/2013 in the Town of New Windsor Court.

Another AthFest is in the history books, and what a festival it was!
The Athens Area Libertarian Party manned an Operation Politically Homeless booth for most of the hot, humid day, starting at 10 AM, lasting until dark.
About 300 people throughout the day interacted with the volunteers in the outreach booth. More people had questions about the Libertarian Party and showed interest in real Liberty than Chairman Doug Harman can remember at any event that we have worked in the last few years.
Just over 100 people participated in "The World's Smallest Political Quiz", posting their results on the Nolan Chart, shown at the top of this article. Two of the participants were local Athens political hopefuls, Charlie Maddox, former candidate for Mayor of Athens (scored 80/80, dead center Libertarian quadrant), and current candidate for the open House 113 seat, runoff election, Dan Mathews (100/60, Libertarian, leaning more towards social liberty than fiscal)

Not really - that assumes a directional force, like the reg coming off. Then you've got a rocket. The common catastrophic failure for pressure vessels is cracking, without fragmentation (not a grenade, but still loud and scary)
i would think a crack would provide enough direction to give you a pretty decent missile.
And yes, Gordon is the sexiest manifestation of "to the front."

Also, as long as the cracks are just in the vanity coating on the outside, and not the actual resin/fiber wrap, I think it should still be fine.

Just as an FYI, when carbon bikes came into my shop with scratches, I usually used fingernail polish enamel to seal up the hole, to stop water penetration, and stave off any crack propagation. If you are REALLY concerned about the finish of your tank after you've dinged it, you can do like we did on 5-10k+ bikes, and use a bit of toothpaste and dental floss to polish it like new. The toothpaste has just enough grit to make a really fine polish.

If Hubie Brown was the last Knick coach to lose 50 back to back, then that sais it all about how **** the players were and are now.
History repeats itself? Don't think D'Antoni's on Hubie's level, but it can't be denied that he was both the coach of a **** team AND made some dreadful errors this season. I still lean toward our ****ty ass team being the main factor for another putrid losing season

jump it back right now!
Jump Back Ball 21 is happening very, very soon. This is the week to buy your tickets to one of Cleveland's biggest parties, benefiting the iconic PlayhouseSquare organization. There are two main reasons why you should buy your tickets right now — prices will increase this Wednesday, 1/25 and there are less than 60 tickets left!
This year, music will include bands Radioactive on the main stage and the late night party will continue with Tricky Dick & the Cover-Ups. Regular price tickets include an array of food (catered by Sammy's) and an open bar, while VIP tickets will include very VIP food provided by AMP 150. This year, the party will also include a fresh layout that regular Jump Back Ball attendees have never seen.
February 25th will be full of fun and surprises, so make sure to get your tickets right at this minute. Look how much fun I had last year (see below). I believe this is an accurate depiction of the good times you are in for.
Disclosure: I received one free ticket in exchange for blogging about Jump Back Ball 21. These opinions are all me!

"The [secular] sense of right and wrong is so delicate, so fitful, so easily puzzled, obscured, perverted, so subtle in its argumentative methods, so impressionable by education, so biased by pride and passion, so unsteady in its course, that in the struggle for existence amid the various exercises and triumphs of the human intellect, the sense is at once the highest of all teachers yet the least luminous."

Some of the other posts have me concerned now about my daughter. My 5 week old has green poops most of the time. How do I tell if she is getting enough hindmilk or if this is just the normal color of her stool for whatever reason? Is duration of actively nursing a good indicator? (e.g, she may nurse for 20 minutes on first breast?)
She was born at 8 lbs, 11 ounces and is up over 10 now. Is content after each feeding, feeds every 2 to 2.5 hours but does not always take both breasts.

"weather in Boulder will be in the high 20s at 9:30p. I don't see the Troy Boys loving this weather. bad spot, bad weather, bad cover"
1* Cleveland (1:00 ET): The chances for the Browns to avoid the infamy of 0-16 are rapidly dwindling. They are just four games left, but realistically there's probably only two shots where they have a legit chance to win, Dec 24th vs. San Diego and here. This week they are coming off a bye and hosting Cincinnati. I'll recommend to take the points.
It's not as if the Browns haven't been competitive. In fact, they actually outgained the Giants two weeks ago in a 27-13 loss. That game really swung on a defensive score by the G-Men. Despite what the final scores might indicate, they've been competitive in four of the last five games. That doesn't even include close losses to Baltimore, Miami and Tennessee earlier in the year. Robert Griffin III, out since Week 1, is expected to be back this week as the starting QB. Coming off a bye and still motivated to avoid NFL history ('08 Lions only 0-16 team in history), the Browns are a solid value this week. Consider that the "lookahead" line for this game was only +3.5.
The Bengals turned in one of their best performances of the year last week, routing Philadelphia 32-14. But it's "too little, too late" here as a 4-7-1 SU record is probably too big of a hole to climb out of. Even if they were to win out, I'm not sure the Bengals would get into the playoffs. The offense is without WR AJ Green and unlike LW, this is a road game. So far this year, the Bengals are 1-5 SU and 0-6 ATS away from home. After being darlings at the betting window LY, Cincy is just 3-8-1 ATS overall in 2016. With Browns HC Hue Jackson being the Bengals former OC, might there be a little sympathy on the sidelines? Not sure, but Cleveland is also due to erase an 0-4 SU/ATS slide in this AFC North rivalry. 1* Cleveland

Appropriately, a larger-than-life statue of the champion was placed in the high school gym to encourage and inspire, smiling on generations of wrestlers who dreamed of touching greatness.
The 2004-2005 Wasatch wrestling team was filled with wrestlers who believed they would touch greatness, and they did.
State champions? Convincingly, with 123 more points than second place, Uintah. That year, the boys from Wasatch also won the Reno Tournament of Champions and were finalists in Minnesota's prestigious dual tournament, The Clash. Our team of local talent that trained behind the bleachers in a makeshift room earned a number two national ranking, across all high school classifications – including noteworthy private wrestling academies back East. For sure they were a remarkable team, but in my estimation, their greatness is just now coming to the surface.
Look what they're doing now.
Nine years later, many of them are still competing – several, inside their sport. And as exciting as it is to see local athletes go on to compete at the highest levels, not all will become icons with their own signature-model shoes.
I recently interviewed three brothers, all members of the 2004-2005 Wasatch wrestling team to get an idea of what these mat champions have done since leaving high school. In an age plagued by attitudes of entitlement, these three young men are refreshing; their stories, compelling. And they remain as much a part of the Wasatch wrestling family as they ever did.
What is it about our wrestling program that produces such life-champions?
This article is the first installment of a three part series in which I will attempt to bring to light the products of Wasatch wrestling other than gold medals and team titles, sourcing examples from the Smith brothers themselves: Jordy, newlywed and second-year law student; Casey, a commissioned officer in the United States Army; and Ethan, a D-1 student-athlete in his junior year.
Next week: Jordy and Corbin: the youngest of the Smith brothers will start his wrestling career at Wasatch this year. As a former coach of the incoming freshman class, what does Jordan Smith have to say to his youngest brother and his classmates about Wasatch wrestling tradition?

It's a royal ruckus.
There's all sorts of unrest over the final resting place for Abigail Kawananakoa.
She's the adopted granddaughter of King David Kalakaua and wants a crypt at Mauna 'Ala -- the Royal Mausoleum, where Hawaiian ali'i are buried.
The tomb would be similar to the Wylie tomb and would be situated directly across from it.
Kawananakoa's efforts are supported by Royal Order of Kamehameha and Association of Native Hawaiian Civic Clubs, in part because of her lineage and what she's done to preserve Hawaiian treasures.
"I, myself, had no problem with her being buried there; as a family member she is entitled to, these were her parents, for Christ's sake. It is her legacy," said Kealii Makekau.
But not everyone agrees.
"Very frankly I don't think you can buy your way into Mauna 'Ala. They were ceremonial titles, not inherited titles. We shouldn't be calling them prince or princess. That era, is an era that is is past," said Lela Hubbard.
Kawananakoa's family is buried in the Kalakaua crypt, but it's apparently full.
Some say there should not be any more burials at Mauna 'Ala; to say yes to this request would open the door to others who maintain they have more direct ties to royalty.
"Yes, Abigail did come forward to do many good deeds as an American. To me, she would be better off at Kawaiahao cemetery in her Kapiolani family plot. She has many options. With all the land that she owns, she can start her own cemetery," said Paulette Kaleikini.
The Office of Hawaiian Affairs did raise a concern -- that the area used to part of the historic Nuuanu Battle and that any new construction would likely disturb human remains.
And there is the prickly governance issue. Some questioned why a state agency is deciding who can be buried on land owned by the Hawaiian kingdom.
"I certainly, because of the sensitivity, would agree that at minimum there be an archeological inventory is required," said Land Board Chairman William Aila.
"This is a very difficult situation where you are trying to balance Hawaiian cultural practices and history with contemporary rules and regulations. A government entity versus a sovereignty entity. It's very conflicting and very troublesome," said cemetery historian Nanette Napoleon.
So troubling that several board members almost abstained from voting.
But in the end, they deferred to Kahu Bill Mai'oho, care taker of the Royal Mausoleum, who said he was fine with the request.
If any archeological remains are uncovered, the issue would go before the Oahu Burial Council.

In this guest blog post, Seve Ghose, CPRE/MOL, Director of the City of Davenport Parks and Recreation shares how certification of staff has given a boost to their agency, benefits their staff and provides his views on the value of certification.
It began in the Spring of 2009 when we sent in the initial application for CAPRA accreditation. Knowing that we had two years to complete the process we set some goals for the agency.
Our first goal was to be the first agency in Iowa and one of the first 100 in the country to be accredited. A second goal we set internally was to be the "first and the best" in all that we do and offer. Individual certification was a big part of reaching both those goals.
We currently have nine Certified Park and Recreation Professionals (CPRP), one Certified Park and Recreation Executive (CPRE), two Certified Playground Safety Inspectors (CPSI), and five Certified Pool Operators (CPO).
In 2009 we had only two CPRP's – quite an accomplishment over the last three years.
How'd we do it?
Seve (center) with some of his staff at the NRPA Annual Conference
While the agency agreed to pay for the test as part of professional and personal growth for the staff, we also initiated another incentive of staff mentoring to guide staff prior to taking the individual tests. This process brought many of the staff together and created greater camaraderie and the urgency to succeed.
We further made a serious commitment to send staff to the NRPA Annual Conference and other training sessions continually to keep up with the Continuing Education Credit (CEU) requirement.
The certification process is of great value not only to the agency but to the individual as it sets the bar high in regards to looking and striving for accomplishment and not accepting the status quo. This keeps the staff motivated to come to work, contribute extensively, try new things, and most of all look to be innovative and forward thinking.
Where we are today as an agency--- able to do things and not say "no" anymore, is a true reflection of what the certification process has brought to the table. I highly recommend to all park and recreation professionals to pursue certification and for the agency to commit the resources to help staff achieve such. In the coming months we look forward to when we will have the final three members of our management team certified as CPRP and in the current approved budget cycle we have doubled the training dollars available.
Tell us in the comments below: Does your agency support certification and if so, how? Certified professionals, what would you tell someone considering certification? What success have you seen from having a professional certification or from having certified professionals on staff?
Written by: Seve Ghose, CPRE/MOL, Director City of Davenport Parks and Recreation firstname.lastname@example.com
To learn more about certification programs offered by the National Recreation and Park Association visit, www.nrpa.org/certification/
In Boynton Beach, we made CPRP a requirement for all Recreation Supervisors, and will eventually do the same for other positions. I strongly believe that becoming a certified professional is the best and most objective way to quantifiably demonstrate that your professional growth doesn't stop when you graduate. Attaining the necessary CEUs to remain certified ensures that you are devoting time to train and educated yourself on topics specifically related to the field of parks and recreation.
by Wally Majors on
Thank you for making certification worth the effort. I have always believed that certification gives us more striving for excellence in what we do. Whether dealing with a medical emergency, striving for more innovation in programming, or mentoring a consumer, certification provides the impetus in providing quality services. Often I have heard people object to certification with the justification that non-certified people can do the job just as well. The questions rise to the fore, does a non-certified individual understand quality services, the population they are working with, risk management, and more? Do the non-certified individuals even have a degree in Parks and Recreation, hence understand even the philosophy of leisure? It is heartening to see agencies striving to provide the best possible, all around services for the public. Well done, and thank you!

- Home continent advantage on the American and European professional golf tours
- Author(s)
- Bailey, Michael; Clarke, Stephen; Forbes, Donald
- Abstract
- Using all regular tournament rounds of golf played on both the American and European golf tours between 2000 and 2009, 860 golfers were identified as having played on both tours. By assigning the continent in which each player played the most rounds as being the 'home' continent, a mixed linear model was used to determine the effects of a 'home tour' advantage. Over 255,000 rounds of golf were examined. Overall scoring on the US tour was marginally lower than in Europe (71.58 vs 71.74 p=0.001). There was a significant difference between rounds (p<0.0001), with third round scores lowest (71.43) followed by second (71.63), first (71.78) and then final round (71.79). Golfers that played more often on the US tour were consistently over half a stroke better than golfers that played more regularly on the European tour (71.39 vs 71.93 p<0.0001). There was a significant interaction between continent and home tour (p<0.0001) with US tour golfers averaging 71.21 the US tour and 71.58 on the European tour, while European tour golfers averaged 71.91 on the European tour and 71.95 on the US tour. Average scores appeared to have increased by about a stroke over the past 10 years, while experience and familiarity are worth about half a stroke per thousand rounds for experience and about half a stroke per sixty rounds that is played at each specific tournament. Significant differences exist between both the European and US golf tours and the players that play on these tours. There is also statistical evidence to support the theory that experience and familiarity are predictive of golf score.

- Abstract
- We present a detailed analysis of redshift-space distortions in the two-point correlation function of the 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS). The K-band selected sub-sample which we employ in this study contains 81971 galaxies distributed over 17000deg^2 with an effective redshift z = 0.067. By modelling the 2D galaxy correlation function, xi(r_p,pi), we measure the parameter combination f(z)sigma_8(z) = 0.423 +/- 0.055. Alternatively, by assuming standard gravity we can break the degeneracy between sigma_8 and the galaxy bias parameter, b. Combining our data with the Hubble constant prior from Riess et al (2011), we measure sigma_8 = 0.76 +/- 0.11 and Omega_m = 0.250 +/- 0.022, consistent with constraints from other galaxy surveys and the Cosmic Microwave Background data from WMAP7. Combining our measurement of fsigma_8 with WMAP7 allows us to test the relationship between matter and gravity on cosmic scales by constraining the growth index of density fluctuations, gamma. Using only 6dFGS and WMAP7 data we find gamma = 0.547 +/- 0.088, consistent with the prediction of General Relativity. We note that because of the low effective redshift of 6dFGS our measurement of the growth rate is independent of the fiducial cosmological model (Alcock-Paczynski effect). We also show that our conclusions are not sensitive to the model adopted for non-linear redshift-space distortions. Using a Fisher matrix analysis we report predictions for constraints on fsigma_8 for the WALLABY survey and the proposed TAIPAN survey. The WALLABY survey will be able to measure fsigma_8 with a precision of 4-10%, depending on the modelling of non-linear structure formation. This is comparable to the predicted precision for the best redshift bins of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), demonstrating that low-redshift surveys have a significant role to play in future tests of dark energy and modified gravity.

For his book, "The Blue Zones," adventurer and author Dan Buettner spent years studying various corners of the world where life expectancy is the longest.
In his travels, Buettner met 104-year-old Giovanni Sannai of Sardinia, who started his day with wood-chopping and a glass of wine. Buettner told NPR that he challenged Sannai to arm wrestle, and the old man won.
You probably won't win arm-wrestling matches at that age. But you can add years to your life.
Here are five tips for increasing longevity:
Eat Food
Food expert and author Michael Pollan lives by a wise seven-word manifesto: Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. What people often eat, he says, is not food but processed substances and chemicals that can lead to all kinds of diseases, from heart ailments to diabetes. Those strip years off your life.
Here's more advice from Pollan:
Don't eat anything your great grandmother wouldn't recognize as food. (Portable yogurt tube? No.) Don?t eat anything with more than five ingredients, or ingredients you can't pronounce. Don't eat anything that won't eventually rot. Enjoy meals at a table, with family, at regular meal times. Leave the table a little bit hungry.
Have Sex
In a CNN story earlier this year, the network featured yoga instructor Sadie Nardini and her husband, who made an early New Year's resolution: sex every day for the month of December.
The two made the vow to help curb their appetite for cigarettes and chocolate, and it worked, they said. But they also discovered the sex helped them sleep better, gave them more energy, and Nardini said they didn't get the winter colds they typically do.
Research generally supports the notion that more sex leads to healthier lives.
Men who have sex three times a week can decrease their risk of heart attack and stroke by 50 percent, said Drs. Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz, who together wrote a book, "You: Being Beautiful." Men who have 150 to 350 orgasms a year can feel two to eight years younger, and regular sex can decrease general pain, the doctors said.
Respect Your Body
You have to exercise to live longer -- there is no way around this one. So turn off "The Biggest Loser" and get outside. Perhaps the best advice here is the most simple: Find exercise you enjoy and make it a high priority in your life. Get creative. Find activities you are willing to do for the long term.
Oz, a surgeon and TV health guru, offered these other tips for men (from among his top 25 greatest health tips, listed in Men's Health magazine):
Don't pamper your back -- taking to bed will make a bad back weaker; it's better to get moving.
Drink green tea as an alternative to coffee and sugary drinks. It's full of heart-boosting and cancer-stopping polyphenols.
Know your digits. These include blood pressure (ideally it should be below 115, over 75), LDL cholesterol (under 100), resting heart rate (under 70), and fasting blood sugar (under 100). For every point a man's body mass index is over 25, testosterone drops 3 percent, which, Oz notes, isn't very manly.
Rest. Oz says seven hours of sleep helps lengthen lifespans, lowers stress, sharpens memory and reduces food cravings.
Another tip: floss. Research shows that bacteria that lingers in the mouth ends up in the bloodstream and can increase risk of heart disease.
Cut Stress / Connect With Family
In the nine tips outlined in Buettner's "Blue Zones" book, four of them (reduce stress; belong to a community; keep family first; surround yourself with people who have similar blue zone values) fall under this heading.
Stress corrodes healthy living and leads to bad habits that shorten lives: drinking, smoking and junk food, researchers say. Look for ways to reduce stress: exercising, playing games, walking, sex, gardening -- any hobby you enjoy. Draft a to-do list and then set a realistic plan for getting it all done. Simple breathing exercises can help slow a racing mind.
Experts also recommend people talk through problems even when -- especially when -- it seems really hard to do. It's been suggested that one reason women live longer is because they form closer networks of friends and lean more often on support groups. Financial experts note that money is the most common stressor for many men and they recommend facing any cash problems head-on and putting a plan in place to solve them.

9/11, Southern Cal Fires updates, Andre Ethier, Giant vs. Dodgers!
On this day 9/11, I want to give a big thanks to all firemen in this great country! to the police department, to the ones that were and are in the military, and to the many people that do volunteer work. Thank you!!!
Is hard to believe that this happened 8 years ago.
This morning I heard that the fires here in Southern California were 70% contained. that is great news! Our firemen and all the ones that came down here have done an excellent job. I am glad I got to tell that to a few firemen the other night as I was coming out of Dodger Stadium (there was a small fire outside the stadium). Their response was "Thank you Ma'm" "Did the Dodgers win?" They did win that night!.
Driving on the Foothill freeway you can still see some smoke from the lingering fires. We are so due for rain here.
A friend sent me this link from Boston.com They have some incredible pictures here
I went to Virginia's blog and saw her final list of the N.L. West Cuties! It reminded me of this photo of Andre. What do you think Ethierholics?
This picture was taken at the Carne Asada event
last this year by my good friend LuvtheDodgers23. thanks LTD23!
Andre is leading the team in homeruns with 28, Doubles with 39 and is tied with James Loney with 60 walks.
Hiroki Kuroda is on the mound tonight in San Francisco! He faces Matt Cain.
Good luck Kuroda-san!!
Let's Go Dodgers! Let's Go!!
I got a question: Why do pitchers shag baseballs in the outfield? I am asking because last week Kershaw hurt his right shoulder during BP going after he hit the scoreboard. He had to skip his turn and is still up in the air for his next start. What is the point of them shagging baseballs in the outfield? Thanks

Short, but good post. Never forget 9/11 that day, I know friends that lost loved ones that day so it's a bit hard for them. It's going to be a fun month though.

Thanks Matt. Is so hard when you experience this up close to home. My thoughts and prayers to those that passed away and the families that were left behind feeling the pain of those losses. There so many of them that lost their lives.
Never will forget it.
I remember seeing parts on tv when I was 5,
but I never knew about the situation.
I know fully, and I mourn for those who were/are in loss.
It's too bad that these terrorists did this,
but some heroes were born.
Some gave up their lives for other's.
Great short post. =)

honoring 9/11 at:
Those of us were old enough will never, ever forget 9/11 – and those of us who were parents then, it was even harder. It once again reminded us that we can not always protect our children from the evils around them. And as a parent that is a tough, tough thing.
I'm glad the fires are being contained. The work that the firefighters do is amazing.
Andre Ethier is looking good, and he is playing well for my fantasy team. Gotta love the Giants v Dodgers rivalry!
Why do pitchers shag flies? Because they have to catch pop ups on occasion. That would be my guess anyway. The pitchers I love the most are the ones who are great fielders too (like Mo, who started off as an infielder). Nice pic of Andre. I'm so glad they're making progress on the big blaze. We're in marine layer mode up here in SB, thank goodness.
I'll never forget the 3 or so hours it took to find my mom and Dad. They were in DC. Dad was supposed to be at the Pentagon that morning. Everyone was safe in my family – but my Dad lost a couple friends at the Pentagon that day. He was at the Legion yesterday lifting his glass to his friends saying: "Nunca te olvidaré."
You are a very talented. Keep up the great work.
Is hard to imagine that our fires are still going on but that is how those fires on the wild side go. Did you by any chance get to see the link from Boston.com those are some incredible pictures. I am not sure who are these people that take these pictures.
Did not realize you have Andre in your fantasy team. What a great pickup. I hope you are kicking butt with your team. It is always sweeeter to beat the Jints! I say J, I say J-I, I say J-I-N-T-S ….
I meant shagging baseballs on the outfield and showing off. I know Kershaw is 21 but going after a ball against the wall! He is no outfielder! Thank goodness it was his right shoulder. I know he even said that was stoooopid of him doing that.
OMG Ginny!
That must have been the one of the worst time for you and your family. Does your dad speak Spanish?
Emma: That is a LOVELY pic of Andre. He is the cutest thing.
I remember 9/11 like it was yesterday. I was in 3rd grade, and I was pulled aside and told to pack my things ot go home. When I reached the lobby, there were so many parents, some crying, and I was confused. We had FOX News on all day, and I kept seeing those images. I was terrified. It's just one of those things that we will never forget. -Virginia
Emma… whew! Did we ever need Casey at the bat yesterday! He made sure Loney was not the Lone Ranger.. they both did their job and we got a big SF win! Damn those Rockies and their September magic! : )
He speaks Spanish and French enough to be understood. French better than Spanish. His 2 buddies that died were Spanish – they were the ones who were teaching him.
how many languages does Dre speak?
if he speaks three or more, that is definetely plenty.
he could live anywhere in the world!!
I love it here Emma,
keep up the good posting. =)
New post up on TTW/T
its about being the "centerpiece" of all prospects and trades.

Thanks! Andre is a great player and a cutie! Seeing those pictures of 9/11 was devastating for adults let alone for kids.
lol. It was great to have Casey at the bat yesterday on his first day back or how he is referred in another forum TMIMITW (The most interesting man in the world) because of the beer commercial…the guy with the bear "stay thirsty my friends".
That must have been tough on your dad losing his friends.
'Dre is of Mexican descent (mom) and French(dad) but I don't know if he speaks Spanish and French. You know, I never asked him. I did ask Loney one time something in Spanish but it was a mistake on my part that it just came out that way. To my surprise, he understood me and answered back with no accent.
