Ball Markers
By Snyper on 11/8/10
Matt is an opinionated* golf enthusiast from Pennsylvania. He coaches at the high school level, molding the minds and swings of our next generation. Feel free to chime in with your thoughts and opinions of Matt in the comments. Don't hold back- because Matt won't.
It seems like a relatively small role in the grand scheme of golf, but a ball marker is a big deal to a lot of golfers. Whether it is the functionality of the ball marker or just the sentimental value, I know a lot of guys who value their ball makers as much as their clubs. I have to admit, I'm one of those guys.
For me, it's got to be a magnetic. I've been rocking the magnetic ball marker on my hat, but I had a recent epiphany with my magnetic hat clip. Clipping it on my hat was marking up my hats and starting to annoy me, so I started clipping it on my belt. Changed my life! Instead of digging around in my pocket for five minutes trying to find a ball marker, it's right there on my belt waiting for me! The move to the belt has also helped me to avoid the occasional criticism for the feminine appeal of the magnetic ball marker on the hat. I don't know why, but since several of the ladies on the LPGA sport the ball marker on the hat and none of the guys on the PGA have caught on, there seems to be some who believe that magnetic ball markers are for women only. Well, I'm here to say that is absurd! I'm not sure what's wrong with the guys on tour, but unless your ball marker is pink and full of bling, there is nothing feminine about using a magnetic ball marker! It just makes good sense and everyone who is not on board yet is missing out!
Clipping it on my hat was marking up my hats and starting to annoy me, so I started clipping it on my belt. Changed my life!
Another popular form of ball markers, which I really like, is the poker chip ball marker. While these tend to be a little large for me, and obviously not magnetic, I am a big fan of cards and I do appreciate the application. Larger ball markers do have some upsides. First of all, they are easily located in your pocket. In case you haven't caught on yet, it is one of my biggest pet peeves on the golf course when I have to wait for a guy to search for his ball marker as I'm trying to putt. So, I like that the larger markers are a quick find. They are also easy to locate on the green. Whether you are looking around to see where everyone is so that you don't step in their line, or if you are looking for your mark to read your putt from the other side of the green, a larger ball marker does help the cause. The biggest downside, of course, is that they are more of a roadblock for other putts and need to be moved quite often. If you leave your putt within a couple feet of the hole and you choose to mark it, that manhole cover that you call a ball marker is going to, most likely, need to be moved. A little aside here for those of you who are unfamiliar with the process of properly relocating your ball marker while your playing partners are putting. If you move your marker and forget to move it back, it is a penalty. This does happen quite easily and more often than you might think. I recently played with a guy who had a great suggestion about how to avoid forgetting to move your marker back to its original spot. He simply flipped his marker upside down when he moved it. Thus, when he went to putt, if his marker was upside down, he was immediately reminded to move it back before putting. While simple, I found that to be brilliant.
The traditional flat plastic ball markers with a spike on the bottom are always a good choice as well. I tend to keep one of these in my pocket for those times that I mark my ball close to the cup and know that my marker may interfere with other putts. Most times, if you use one of these flat markers, your playing partners will not even bother to ask you to move your mark because they know it is not very likely to effect their ball even if they roll over it. Since I'm lazy, I like this characteristic. So, while they are small and usually take a little time to locate among the tees and ball mark repair tool in my pocket, I do usually have a flat plastic marker on standby.
Whether it is a penny or a quarter, change will always work. Money is not the best option because of its likeliness to be stolen or lost, but when all else fails, it gets the job done.
If I find myself totally unprepared and I am out of options, the last choice for a ball marker is the good old metal currency. Whether it is a penny or a quarter, change will always work. Money is not the best option because of its likeliness to be stolen or lost, but when all else fails, it gets the job done. I do try to avoid the pennies though as they tend to be tough to relocate on the green. I can't stand walking around for five minutes trying to find my marker and I have definitely done that a time or two when using a penny. On the upside, my buddies are way less likely to swipe the penny from me as apposed to my disappearing quarters!
In conclusion, if you have never given any thought to your ball marker in the past, perhaps it is time to find the one that is right for you. Whether you take the time to go out and design your own personalized ball marker, or just find one that you think is cool, I recommend finding a ball marker that you look forward to using. I love my magnetic ball marker and belt clip enough that it motivates me to hit more greens just so I can use it! Though not as technologically advanced as tees, ball markers can be fun and an enjoyable part of the game. Check out your options, but I won't be surprised if you too are soon on the magnetic bandwagon!

dc8ce says:
I'm not sure if they still do, but The Golf Warehouse (TGW.com) had a bunch of college & pro team magnetic ball markers & clips. I got a sweet Mizzou Tigers one and at the time it was only $9.
dartboss04 says:
Great post. I definitely love a good ball marker and completely agree on all points, especially the poker chip. I like using it, but it becomes problematic when you get close to the hole.
My prize ball marker is actually a small round piece of wampum that I received with tees when I played a round at Lake of Isles in Foxwoods in CT back in 2008. It's really smooth, easy to spot on the green, and now ranks as my number one go to marker.
We need a divot repair tool thread now!...I'm partial to the Scotty Camerons.
tcjonny says:
those dang scotty repair tools are sweet, but after a few years in the bag, they become problematic and start falling out of the headcover... good ole' scott knows this and charges $25 for the replacement tools. I'm on my third one, and titleist now has $50 more of my money than they should. I'm partial to the old school solid brass ornamental tools with a magnetic spot for a ball marker and the clip on the back. Fits in my pocket well.
jbird2011 says:
I actually collect coins from around the world and use them as ball markers. They always have to be 1977. Its my birth year and always my goal score to shoot. Have quite a collection and get them all the time as gifts.
jev says:
I'm pretty fond of my magnetic ball marker that clips to my pitchfork. It's large enough to quickly find but it doesn't stand out on a green like a sore thumb. A pokerchip IMHO does not make a good ballmarker. It is too large, therefore too inaccurate to properly mark a position with and it stands out from the green so much it draws the eye from your putt to the marker. It's not very popular here but I will ask every time to move such a marker from my periphery view when putting.
That flipping the ballmarker over when moved is a great tip, must remember that one!
Really popular among the ladies here is a magnetic clip on the shoe. For some reason it doesn't catch on with the men though!
Matt F says:
I use an Australian 10c piece. No one else has one so it can't be confused with anyone else's.
In regards to fishing around in your pockets for a ball marker...how much junk do you carry in your pockets? I have 2 things, ball marker and pitch repair tool. Not easy to confuse the two.
falcon50driver says:
You are correct, it is a pitch mark repair tool, not a divot tool, as everyone seems to want to call it. I use a ten Peso coin, people always take a second glance at them and want to know what it is, so I give them one to keep. It's a nice heavy gold and silver looking coin that I keep a handful of in my bag.
Bryan K says:
Magnetic cap-bill clip ballmarker. I have a good half dozen of 'em in my bag.
Drives me absolutely insane when a playing partner doesn't have a ball marker. Absolutely insane.
homermania says:
If your playing partners are stealing your quarters, you need new playing partners. Also, I agree with mwfaith... why so much crap in your pockets that you can't find a marker?!
SD Charlie says:
I've used all kinds of things as a ball marker, but I'm generally partial to this bicentennial half-dollar. I saw it in a tip jar at a frozen yogurt joint, and asked the clerk if I could trade them two quarters for it. Oddly, I now have more "found" ball markers than purchased. I really have to remember that head's up / tails up trick to remind me if I moved my mark, that's a good tip.
Kurt the Knife says:
We caught up with an elderly couple on Kaanapali and I thought the gal was genius to have hers hooked on the laces of her shoe. Bendin' over anyway, why not have it where the ball is?
I have adopted the same. Its just smoother and my caps don't get all grizzled.
Kurt the Knife says:
My fave. Combo pitchmark repair tool and magnetic disc.
aglazier says:
Great article son. I'm partial to my Pebble Beach and Riviera poker-style markers. On the coin it shows the yardage of each hole, its handicap, and if it is Par 3, Par 4, or Par 5. Very cool, and handy if you happen to be playing match play on the course. Each ball marker even has a magnetic "pop-out" small, smooth ball marker that one can use if your large poker style marker is in someone's line. It's genius. I wish some of the local courses would make them.
KVSmith59 says:
I did some research on this once for my own little website. Was able to dig up photos of what the pros use. You can see them here: www.rivercityhackers.com/Random-Stuff/golf-ball-
mjaber says:
I use the repair tool/ball marker combo. It's in my left back pocket, and it's the only thing there. Makes it easy to find. The only problem I have is it sometimes the marker gets dislodged from the repair tool. I'll pull it out to mark my ball and have to reach back in to snag the coin. Not a huge deal, or any length of time, but I've looked a little silly once or twice bending over to mark my ball and not having the coin in the tool.
Bryan K says:
mjaber: it sure beats addressing the putt when the ball is still in your pocket.
mjaber says:
@Bryan... Somtimes I think I might have better luck putting my ball marker than putting the ball
InTheHolder says:
I too gave up on the hat. I invented and make a unique marker holder. My magnetic ball marker holder fits in the umbrella holder site on Sun Mountain and Clicgear pushcarts. It comes with a tee adaptor so if you don't have that ugly screw hole or the umbrella is up you can put it anywhere a tee goes. Check it out at InTheHolder.com
NCguy says:
Can anyone provide info re: antique / rare Ball markers? I found one in a farm field where a golf course once was. (I've heard ~1900-1920.) It is copper, about size of a quarter, and has a stamping of a woman in period dress sitting on a log, golf bag nearby, her chin in hand, w/ a guy in knickers teeing off in the back ground. The coin is stamped only on one side and has a decorative ridge along outer edge.
Curious about rarity / value. I've shown it to a lot of people. No one has ever seen anything like it, and.they all want it!
Sorry if double posted, or has typos. From my phone.

Big improvement in skin

I started taking this as I have milky pale skin (read: sick-looking) and heard this can give you a hint of colour. Well, I can't say for sure whether it's these tablets that are doing it, but I can't think what else it could be - in the weeks since I started taking the tablets, the little marionette lines around my mouth have pretty much disappeared. They were something I hated seeing when I looked in the mirror, and I never expected these tablets to make them vanish, so I'm stoked! I have been taking one tablet twice a day. Best with food, as I find when I take them on an empty stomach I can sometimes get heartburn. And I'm still pretty darned pale, but I don't think I look sick anymore, so that's a plus too.

This is a must when tanning! I take one per day 1 month before a holiday (live in Norway) and 2-3 when tanning. Makes my skin tan a lot faster, and less red. Also helps for my "sun enzema".

I had DD2 on June 4th. When she was 11 weeks old (before i'd had a period) i had a Nova T380 inserted (copper IUD).
2 weeks later i got pre-AF symptoms, then one day of very very light spotting. That same weekend i began pumping for a friend on top of EBF my DD, and i never had any more bleeding.
Last day of November last year i stopped pumping for the friend and 29 days later (December 28th) AF came. It was 7 days, moderately heavy (i was expecting that due to the IUD) but painless.
I didn't see any fertile mucus between quitting dumping and AF but i seem to have vague jelly-like yellowish CM since i had the IUD inserted (and it's been checked, no infection, it's just my body's reaction to the copper apparently).
On CD23 and CD28 we dtd. On CD29 i DID see what looked like EWCM, but only once (i.e. not for a few days like normal).
It's now CD38 and no AF. I have had vague cramps on and off. My supply seems normal. My nipples became very sore around CD28 but aren't now (they usually are before AF, nursing or not). My cervix is high, closed and soft right now and the only CM i've seen is the yellowish jelly i've had since insertion. Otherwise i am dry.
DP is buying pregnancy tests right now. I am terrified.
Is it likely that increased nursing (which i'm not really sure about since i don't pay too much attention, since it's on-demand) has delayed my period? I really really don't want to be pregnant right now. And i've had 4 miscarriages in the past so the idea of having to face the 25% chance of another one (if i get it removed) or the 50% chance of another one (if i can't) is scaring me even more.
Can we have an update? Hoping for the best!
Tests are negative, period is still absent. So my update is that there is no update.
The logical part of my brain says, i'm nursing lots, i've only had one PP period, i have an effective form of contraception (IUD), therefore i'm just irregular. The rest of me is screaming BUT WHERE IS MY PERIOD? 13 days late now. Still, -ve tests this late have to be a good sign, right?
This sounds normal with the Mirena. It makes most women experience early pregnancy symptoms because of the progesterone in it in addition to light or no AF. Just one of the many reason I took mine out-it was driving me CRAZY always wondering whether I was pregnant or not!
But the copper IUD has no hormones, correct? So I don't think that should be an issue. It could be that your body is just trying to get back on track and your hormones are just funky still from breastfeeding. I know that really doesn't help when your wondering what the heck is going on, but to me it sounds normal for someone who's 8(?) months PP and still nursing on demand.

Stanley Embling is a 73-year Malayan veteran who has worked for British Steel for 30 years. In that capacity, he got seriously injured and disabled whilst on duty in 1990. He is one of many other former employees who have been denied compensation for the lack of observing Health and Safety at Work (HASAW) rules.
In his attempts to get compensation (in 1995 valued at £200,00), he has made tremendous efforts of communication which continue today, especially because important documents disappeared in courts. He is so crippled that he can hardly walk.
During these attempts, he discovered that his GMB Union had conspired (and concealed such facts for many years) to prevent him, and thousands of other former British Steel employees at Scunthorpe steelworks, from getting his industrial injury compensation, rightful employment entitlements and substantial fiscal benefits.
Here is a list of people and organisations who have let him down:
1. British Steel of Scunthorpe (employee for 30 years)
2. GMB Union (fee paying member for 30 years)
3. Legal Aid
4. Labour MPs
5. Lord Irvine of Lairge
6. Gordon Brown MP
7. MPs from other parties
8. Solicitors
9. The Police
10. The Serious Fraud Office
11. The Met. Police (Special Branch)
12. Judges in the High Court, Appeal Court and County Court
13. Lord Justice Mance, Judge Cracknell and Judge Robinson
14. Office for the Supervision of Solicitors (OSS)
15. Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA)
16. The Legal Ombudsman
17. The Royal British Legion
18. The Disablement Income Group, run by Mrs. Roni Wilson
19. The Top Directors of British Steel, including The Chief Accountant

Thermal teen pleads not guilty to pointing laser at sheriff's helicopter
An 18-year-old Thermal man suspected of pointing a hand-held laser at the cockpit of a sheriff's helicopter in Coachella pleaded not guilty to a felony charge today.
Christian Torres Padilla, who is charged with one count of willfully and maliciously discharging a laser at an aircraft, is free on a $25,000 bond. He is due back at the Larson Justice Center on April 24 for a felony settlement conference, according to court records.
On Feb. 14, a Riverside County Sheriff's Department helicopter was assisting the Indio Police Department on a call when someone aimed a hand-held laser at the cockpit about 7 p.m. as the craft flew over Harrison Street and Avenue 53 in Coachella, sheriff's Sgt. Randy Wedertz said.
The crew directed officers on the ground to Padilla, who allegedly had a hand-held laser in his possession, Wedertz said. Pointing a laser at an aircraft can temporarily blind the pilot and distract the crew, he said.
Authorities didn't say why Padilla may have pointed the laser at the chopper.

Especially when sales dwindle for older items, as they naturally do, it would be nice to seek additional outlets.
100% Completely agree with everything you say. I apprecieate that there are a lot of requests for marketpace changes, but this is a great idea and should be implented as soon as possible, mainly because IT JUST MAKES SENSE !
Hope they do it!
Your determination is awesome Tim, you're so right saying that this idea will benefit authors, but I agree with mrcharlesbrown, it will be too heavy to handle and to control. This amount of item is virtually impossible to chek all over the web.
+1 — not sure I would use it, but I'm sure this would be useful for a lot of authors.
+1 -Tim for president!
I would definitively have a use for that kind of system, I find it strange that its not like that already. I just recently changed to non exclusive due to wanting to branch out but only a few of my items are non exclusive. In my case, dealing mostly in game assets for Unity3D it would be a huge plus since I have some flash items I would like to upload here as well. It makes me kind of tentative to do the finishing touches to some of my items thinking I will only get 33% of the revenue.
I would really appreciate this option, as I am currently running a non-exclusive account and an exclusive account. It would really be sweet to have the option to just click a button and change the exclusivity.
PS This would be especially nice considering I have some tracks selling exclusively right now that I would like to make non-exclusive, and the only way to do that is to make the whole exclusive account non-exclusive and I'd be stuck with two non-exclusive accounts. I can't delete them off the exclusive account and re-upload them to the non-exclusive account so I am kind of in a rock in a hard place about what to do.

Would You Take This Test To Know When You're Going To Die????
Totally NOT sports related... but saw this today in the Orlando Sentinnel. I think honestly I would want to know so I could get my affairs in order and of course really pressure the Raiders in to winning now... But check out the report from "The Telegraph".
Would you want to know?___________________________________________
Scientists have developed a so-called "death test" they say can determine if a healthy person is going to die from a medical condition within the next five years, The Telegraph is reporting.
The blood test measures the levels of four biomarkers and from there, the test can determine the patient's "frailty." If the levels of these biomarkers were abnormal, the patient was five times more likely to die within five years, despite his or her health at the time the test was taken.
As part of the research, 17,000 healthy people were given the biomarker test and studied for five years. Of the 684 people who died within the five years of some sort of illness, scientists found that they all had similar levels of the four biomarkers.

A new study, presented in the April issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology, said that standard X-rays are usually not accurate in the diagnosis of hip and pelvic fractures in the emergency department. Dr. Charles Spritzer, MD, lead author of the study, said "The diagnosis of traumatic fracture most often begins and ends with X-rays of the hip, pelvis, or both," he added "In some cases though, the exclusion of a traumatic fracture is difficult,"
The study was carried out at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, NC. It involved 92 patients who were asked to have an X-rays which was followed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for detection of hip and pelvic pain. Dr. Spritzer said "Thirteen patients with normal X-ray findings were found to collectively have 23 fractures at MRI," he added "In 11 patients MRI showed no fracture after X-rays had suggested the presence of a fracture. In another 15 patients who had abnormal X-ray findings, MRI depicted 12 additional pelvic fractures not identified on X-rays,"
Dr. Spritzer also commented saying "Accurate diagnosis of hip and pelvic fractures in the emergency department can speed patients to surgical management, if needed, and reduce the rate of hospital admissions among patients who do not have fractures. This distinction is important in terms of health care utilization, overall patient cost, and patient inconvenience," and he added "Use of MRI in patients with a strong clinical suspicion of traumatic injury but unimpressive X-rays has a substantial advantage in the detection of pelvic and hip fractures, helping to steer patients to appropriate medical and surgical therapy,"

Marne Findlay--Track & Field/Cross Country (1994-99)
Marne Findlay is arguably one of the most courageous athletes to adorn the Green and Gold.
A former swimmer, Findlay made the switch to running after suffering a torn rotator cuff in high school. She quickly turned heads, becoming just the second CSU runner ever to earn a spot at the NCAA cross country championships her sophomore year.
She later earned two All-American awards in cross country in 1996 and 1997, with a best finish of 13th place in 1996. The Parker, Colo., native also won a WAC title in the 5,000-meter run in 1997, just one of her numerous all-conference accolades.
The Ponderosa High School product was named first-team all-region in cross country three times in her illustrious CSU career. She is a three-time academic All-American and four-time academic all-conference award winner.
Findlay is still ranked among the top 10 in CSU history in the 5,000 meters.
The CSU great was named the Colorado Sportswoman of the Year in 1998 for her bravery in overcoming a brain tumor and returning to competition in 1997. That year she led the Rams to their highest ever ranking, No. 12 in the nation.
Willis Holland--Wrestling (1953-1956)
Few wrestlers have matched the success of the heralded Willis Holland.
Holland put on a show for wrestling fans at Colorado A&M from 1953 to 1956, garnering All-America accolades twice for the Aggies along the way.
After qualifying for the NCAA championships in 1954, Holland finished in an impressive fourth place at the 1955 NCAA championships, and as an encore, followed that achievement up with another fourth-place finish in the 1956 campaign. His success helped lead his team to the Skyline Conference championships in both 1955 and 1956.
The 1956 Aggies squad finished seventh in the NCAA championships, scoring the most team points at the tournament in school history.
Ralph Hutton--Swimming (1968-1971)
CSU swimming legend Ralph Hutton was born to be in the water.
In 1968, he set the NCAA record, the national swimming record, and the world record in the 400 freestyle. From 1969 to 1971, Hutton set numerous Colorado State swimming records and stroked his way to three individual Western Athletic Conference championships.
In the 1970 campaign, the British Columbia native set the conference record in the 200-, 500- and 1650-freestyle events. Closing out the year at the 1970 NCAA Championships, Hutton placed second in the 500 freestyle and the 1650 freestyle and fourth in the 200 freestyle, earning three All-America awards.
Hutton's college success was just a glimpse of what would become a storied career in the pool. He won the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) national title in the 400 freestyle while finishing second in the 200 freestyle and fourth in the 1500 freestyle.
Hutton would parlay his AAU and college success into an illustrious Olympic career, capturing a silver medal in 1968 as a member of the Canadian Olympic team, finishing second behind the United States' Mike Burton in the 400 freestyle.
Hutton competed on two consecutive Canadian Olympic teams from 1968 to the Munich games in 1972.
He won more than 20 national titles in Canada and set more than 20 national records from 1963 to 1972.
In international competition, he brought home 24 total medals, including his silver medal in the 1968 Olympics.
The CSU graduate is a member of the Canadian Swimming Hall of Fame, the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame, the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame, and the International Swimming Hall of Fame.
Allison Peckham--Volleyball (1998-2001)
From 1998 to 2001, the Colorado State women's volleyball team brought home four straight WAC and Mountain West titles. Standout Allison Peckham was a large reason for that success.
Peckham was named second-team all-Mountain West as a setter her sophomore and followed that up with two MW Setter of the Year awards her junior and senior campaigns. She was also first-team all-conference during those seasons.
Voted all-district in 2001, the London, Ontario, native was named the Mencimer Award winner in 2001 as the school's most outstanding female scholar-athlete.
Three times the Oakridge Secondary School product was named to the conference all-tournament team as a setter. In 2000, she was named to the NACWAA State Farm Classic All-tournament team. She finished her illustrious career with 4,844 assists, ranking fourth all time in the CSU record books.
Peckham was part of a Rams team that made four straight NCAA tournament appearances, including the 2000 squad that won a school record 32 matches. A three-time academic all-conference award winner and former business major, she continues to be ranked among the school's career leaders in several statistical categories including assists per set (12.33; fourth) and single-season assists (1,588 in 2000; fifth).
Joey Porter--Football (1995-98)
From 1995 to 1998 there were few players more feared in college football than Colorado State defensive end Joey Porter.
Under the tutelage of legendary Rams coach Sonny Lubick, Porter helped lead CSU to some of the greatest seasons in school history.
In his four years in Fort Collins, Porter recorded 20 quarterback sacks, a number that still ranks in the top five all-time at CSU.
The 1998 campaign was a special one for Porter, as he racked up 14 sacks, the second-most in school history. He notched three sacks in a game against UNLV, as the Rams finished with an 8-4 record and their fifth consecutive winning season.
The Kansas City native capped the 1998 season with first-team all-WAC honors. Porter went on to play in the prestigious East-West Shrine Game and Senior Bowl all-star game in 1998 at the conclusion of his CSU career.
Porter was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the third round in 1999 and played in the NFL for 13 seasons. He was named to the Pro Bowl four times, and in 2005 led the Steelers to a Super Bowl victory over the Seattle Seahawks.
In April of 2005, just before earning a Super Bowl XL ring as a defensive leader on the Pittsburgh Steelers' world championship team, the former CSU star donated $200,000 to renovate the Rams' football locker room inside the Moby Arena building. The Joey Porter Locker Room helped transform CSU's facilities to some of the best in the Mountain West.
Bradlee Van Pelt--Football (2001-03)
The name Bradlee Van Pelt has become synonymous with Colorado State football since he joined the team in 2001.
His fearless style of play and eye-popping numbers have made Van Pelt a fan favorite to this day. The Michigan State transfer was a three-year starter for the Rams from 2001-03.
Van Pelt is the only player in CSU football history to be named the conference's offensive player of the year twice, earning that honor in 2002 and '03.
To this day, the tough-as-nails quarterback still holds CSU's career record for total yards (8,579) and single-season standard for total offense (3,754 in 2003).
Van Pelt joined an illustrious group in 2003 when he became only the fourth player in NCAA history to throw for at least 5,000 yards and rush for more than 2,000 yards during a career.
The son of a former NFL player, the late Brad Van Pelt, Bradlee would be named to the Mountain West all-conference team in both 2002 and 2003.
Van Pelt led the Rams to three consecutive bowl games, including a 2001 win over Sun Belt Conference champion North Texas in the New Orleans Bowl.
The Santa Barbara, Calif., native followed up the 2001 campaign by leading Colorado State to the 2002 Mountain West Conference championship and a berth in the Liberty Bowl, before guiding the Rams to their fifth consecutive bowl appearance one year later in the 2003 San Francisco Bowl.
The quarterback participated in both the East-West Shrine Game and Hula Bowl all-star games in 2003 before being drafted by the Denver Broncos in 2004. Van Pelt also went on to play with the NFL's Houston Texans.

A study conducted by researchers in Singapore found that undergraduate students who were allowed to keep their phones with them actually scored better on tasks that measured their cognitive functioning. Even when they weren't allowed to use their phones, students who were allowed to keep their phones in their pockets performed better than students whose phones were confiscated.
As teachers, we need to take into account in which moments it is necessary to use the cell phones within the classrooms and which situations is essential confiscate them. Furthermore, we need to consider the age of the students and the subject that we are teaching.

Storytelling in its way can have just as much complexity as music or mathematics. That we don't really understand this craft – or that this is a craft – is partly because of the romantic myth of "inspiration" peddled by authors as much as anyone. It is taught (up to a point) in creative writing degrees – but it can be simplified enough to be taught to schoolchildren as well.

Sports Wrap
Gettysburg won a 53-48 victory over McDaniel Feb. 21 in Centennial Conference (CC) men's basketball action. The Bullets (16-8, 11-7 CC), by virtue of Muhlenberg's 97-90 overtime loss at Ursinus, earn the third seed in the upcoming CC tournament. The Green Terror (18-7, 13-5 CC) will be the second seed and face Gettysburg in the semifinals Feb. 28 at Franklin & Marshall. The 13th-ranked Diplomats, despite dropping their second straight game – a 74-67 loss at Dickinson, earned the top spot and will host the tournament.
In women's basketball
Gettysburg scored a 65-54 win over McDaniel Feb. 21 in Centennial Conference (CC) women's basketball action. Despite the loss in its regular-season finale, the Green Terror (14-11, 11-7 CC) had everything else go its way on the day. Washington (Md.) defeated Johns Hopkins and Dickinson downed Franklin & Marshall to force a five-way tie for second place in the conference standings at 11-7. By virtue of head-to-head tiebreaker, McDaniel earned the fourth seed in next week's tournament and will host Dickinson in the first-round game Feb. 25.
In indoor track
Lindsay Wilson (Catsonville, Md./Seton Keough) won the 3,000 to lead McDaniel Feb. 21 at the Susquehanna Open in men's and women's indoor track and field action. In the Green Terror's final tune-up before the Centennial Conference (CC) championship Feb. 28-March 1, Wilson clocked a time of 10:43.36 to pace the 21-member field.
Rob Kelvey (Westminster, Md./Westminster) led the men with a second-place finish in the same event, finishing as the first collegiate runner with a time of 9:02.46. The men's distance medley relay finished second with a combined time of 10:34.55, setting a program record. The group of C.J. Naper (New Windsor, Md./South Carroll), Juris Eyler (Middletown, Md./Middletown), Cody Crutchley (Frederick, Md./Gov. Thomas Johnson) and Kevin Bowman (Westminster, Md./Brunswick) broke the old mark by more than six seconds with the fastest time in the CC this season.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Former Patriots video assistant Matt Walsh sent the NFL eight videotapes that show New England violated league rules by recording opposing coaches' playcalling signals. The tapes were of five opponents and six games between 2000 and 2002.
The New York Times confirmed a list of the teams that were taped: San Diego Chargers, Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns, and the Pittsburgh Steelers during the 2002 AFC Championship game.
But wait…where is the Rams' walk-through before the Super Bowl?
According to Walsh's lawyer, Michael Levy:
"Mr. Walsh has never claimed to have a tape of the walk-through. Mr. Walsh has never been the source of any of the media speculation about such a tape. Mr. Walsh was not the source for the Feb. 2 Boston Herald article."
Tags: Bill Belichick, Matt Walsh, Patriots, Roger Goodell, Spygate
John Tomase, great journalism job.
Don't know which tapes the Patriots handed over but this is still going to be ugly.
This all just needs to be over. I'm so sick of hearing about it. We get it, they cheated. Moving on…

Lately she has this whole tone of "desperation" going on, just wonder if she's got something serious to lose behind the scenes if/when this all goes south.
I'll give her the benefit of the doubt on her motivation. She obviously thinks that this is the best approach for the citizens of Glendale. I expect that many hockey fans in many cities would love to have city politicians who were willing to spend tax payers money to subsidize the local NHL team.
There are two problems with her approach. First, she has fallen into the trap of so many public figures of fudging the information to try to persuade an "uneducated" public to support her position. Second, I think that this gambit is destined for failure. Even if this lame duck council passes a motion supporting the lease, that won't solve the issue. If she and her supporters are interested in a durable solution for the Coyotes in Glendale, I don't think that this is a wise move.

As federal government mandates require an increased use of renewable fuel sources, Underground Storage Tank regulators, manufacturers, and operators are considering the potential effects of this transition on the existing petroleum retail infrastructure. The introduction of higher ethanol fuel blends such as E15 and E85 will require extensive study and testing to determining the compatibility of the current national UST infrastructure with these new fuels. Compatibility with systems that are currently installed will need to be addressed as well as compatibility with new products and upgrades.

Product Analysis in Relation to the Socio-cultural Perspective of Botswana
Moalosi, Richie, Popovic, Vesna, Lall Kumar, Krishan, & Hickling-Hudson, Anne R. (2005) Product Analysis in Relation to the Socio-cultural Perspective of Botswana. In International Conference on Design Education: Tradition and Modernity, 2 - 4 March 2005, National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad, India.
|PDF (57kB)
This paper investigates the influence of culture on product design in Botswana, a topic on which there little previous research. It is argued that product innovation should be assimilated within the context of Botswana's own culture but it has been observed that designers have not yet been able to encode cultural phenomena to the same extent as physical ones. The basis of this paper is that there is little in-depth research that can assist designers to encode socio-cultural variables in their design practice.
An experimental approach was adopted to investigate the impact of socio-cultural variables in product design. This experiment was conducted in Botswana with design students to analyse the socio-cultural variables embedded in Botswana's products. The content analysis methodology was used to analyse the results from participants. The data collection methods were comprised of visual data (sketches, photographs and design models) and textual data (retrospective interviews and design reports). Textual and visual data were both analysed using ATLAS.ti. The results indicated that there are three major socio-cultural variables, that is, those related to material factors, the community and entertainment related variables. This challenges designers to encode these variables in designing everyday products.
The paper concludes by discussing how designers can integrate socio-cultural variables by 'design' rather than by 'accident' in product design. This will ultimately lead to the design of innovative, culturally sensitive, environmentally sound, pleasurable and user-friendly products.

JUST IN: Greenville-area man killed in M-57 crash, 3 others injured
OAKFIELD TOWNSHIP — The Michigan State Police Rockford Post is investigating a fatal crash involving two vehicles Wednesday evening near Greenville.
The crash occurred at approximately 11:37 p.m. on 14 Mile Road (M-57), east of Wellman Road, which is about six miles west of Greenville.
A red Toyota Camry was traveling east on 14 Mile Road when, according to witnesses, the vehicle passed another eastbound vehicle on the right shoulder and lost control while re-entering the roadway.
The Camry then crossed the center line into westbound traffic and was struck by a westbound white Chevy Traverse.
The driver of the Camry, a 21-year-old Greenville man, was pinned in the vehicle and is in serious condition. Two passengers, both from the Greenville area, were thrown from the vehicle.
One of the passengers, a 20-year-old male, was pronounced dead at the scene while the other 22-year-old passenger was injured, but is listed in stable condition.
The driver of the Chevy Traverse, a 35-year-old woman from Cedar Springs, was also injured. She is listed in stable condition.
Names are not being released at this time.
All injured parties were transported to Spectrum Hospital in Grand Rapids.
According to the Michigan State Police, alcohol and speed are considered determining factors in the accident.
Because of the extensive damage to the Camry, seatbelt use of passengers is still unknown.
The driver who was pinned in was wearing his seatbelt.
The Michigan State Police were assisted at the scene by members of the Oakfield Township Fire Department, Rockford Ambulance and the Kent County Sheriff's Department.
The accident remains under investigation. Any witnesses are asked to contact Trooper Golden of the Michigan State Police Rockford Post at (616) 866-4411.

Lorena Lopez and La Prensa Deliver the News
Story by Mary Gottschalk, photography by David Peterson
Lorena Lopez (above) sets down a tape recorder and opens a small spiral notebook. Across the desk from her Patty Ritchie shares highlights from her recent trip, a visit to Fort Bliss in Texas to see her brother receive a 2012 Bradley Leadership Award for exceptional performance and leadership.
The two women talk about the experience, the conversation drifting between Spanish and English and moving toward a wider discussion of politics.
Latinos must contribute to the political process, stresses Ritchie, an Iraq War veteran and outspoken Latina who's running for one of two open positions on the Crawford County Board of Supervisors, and not just by voting but also by working on volunteer committees and running for office.
"If you don't participate," she says, "you can't complain about the results."
Lopez's interview with Denison Fire Chief Cory Snowgren is more instructional. As Snowgren lays out a map and points to neighborhoods newly included in the community's upgraded tornado warning system, Lopez asks for the basics.
"What should people in these areas do when they hear the siren?"
"Find shelter immediately."
Lopez takes detailed notes as Snowgren explains a tornado's formation and movement. "Sometimes we only have a few seconds' warning," he stresses.
A stop at the home of Pedro Rodriguez takes a less serious note. The Denison resident has been collecting Marilyn Monroe memorabilia for nearly four decades, and Lopez darts around his den adjusting the drapes and rearranging the displays as she snaps photos.
With some friendly teasing, she succeeds in persuading Rodriguez to model one of the Marilyn t-shirts."There's no such thing as a typical day at La Prensa," says Lopez, editor of the free Spanish-language newspaper (in English, The Press) that's been serving north central Iowa for six years.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Looking for a new board
I am looking for a new board but kind of unsure of what to get. I currently have a Rome reverb rocker that I just bought this year but I just don't like it, its too soft and doesn't float in powder. I don't ride park at all, I just want a big mountain powder board. I'm 5'8" 130lb with size 9.5 boots. I was originally looking at the never summer raptor but the smallest size is a 156 which is too big. So now I am looking at the Jones flagship but haven't been able to find much about it. If anyone has any other recommendations then go ahead and tell me.

Promoting the Profession at Women in Aviation Conference
Thousands gathered March 10-12, 2016, in Nashville, Tenn., for the 27th annual International Women in Aviation Conference. The event, hosted by Women in Aviation, International (WAI) is dedicated to encouraging and assisting women who choose to build a career in the aviation industry.
From seminars on the current state of the industry to meeting with representatives from all corners of it, attendees were given valuable exposure to a wealth of education and networking opportunities.
Throughout the three-day conference, pilots from ALPA's Education and Membership committees, supported by ALPA staff, worked together to serve as a resource to the thousands of curious attendees who sought information about various aviation career paths for women.
Students from ALPA's Aviation Collegiate Education Club, including the chapters at Embry-Riddle, SIU, Prescott, and Lewis, also participated this year, sharing the aviation student perspective on ALPA's resources in Aviation Accreditation Board, International schools.
ALPA's annual presence at the WAI Conference is just one example of our continued commitment to the profession and our passion for encouraging young pilots to fulfill their dreams of becoming airline pilots.
In addition to showcasing ALPA resources and providing aspiring aviators with the opportunity to engage with members at this year's conference, we are also celebrating influential women throughout ALPA's history in conjunction with Women's History Month. Female aviators have been making tremendous contributions to the profession since Emily Howell was hired as the first female airline pilot in 1973.
Girls in Aviation Day
On Saturday, September 26, 2015, ALPA and the world's aviation community celebrated Girls in Aviation Day, an international event sponsored by Women in Aviation International.
From Atlanta, Ga., to Ypsilanti, Mich., ALPA pilots were front and center in commemorating the day. Girls in Aviation Day is designed to give girls an opportunity to connect with other girls and women who are interested in aviation, explore careers in the aviation and aerospace industry, and experience firsthand what it's like to be a pilot or other aviation industry professional.
As airline pilots, most of us felt the passion to fly from an early age—we knew we wanted to fly almost before we could walk. But understanding how to follow that passion required information and role models to show the way. Events like Girls in Aviation Day provide girls of all ages with the opportunity to meet pilots and other aviation professionals to learn about their real-word experiences and to ask questions in an encouraging environment.
In Minneapolis, ALPA volunteers helped celebrate Girls in Aviation Day at an event that drew more than 800 attendees including more than 500 children. A Carlsbad, Calif., gathering included an ATC tower tour led by two female professional air traffic controllers and airplane tours given by female pilots.
Girls in Aviation Day was a tremendous opportunity to showcase the airline piloting profession and encourage girls and all young people to get involved. ALPA's participation is just one more way our union is helping to build an airline piloting profession for the future. More photos.
Nontraditional Careers for Women and Men
Women are making great strides regarding gender equality and equal pay in the workplace. But there are many high-paying, fast-growing fields that young women still may not be aware of as exciting career options. In the book, Nontraditional Careers for Women and Men, it shares 22 nontraditional careers for women, including pilots.
Two female ALPA pilots provided interviews inside the book.
UAL First Officer Nathalie Hacken (formerly with ASA) states, "It is a great career for the independent, driven woman. It requires patience, drive, and determination. If you enjoy challenges, traveling, and working with many different people in an always fluid and changing environment, then you would enjoy this line of work."
"My job is always changing--the weather, my routes, the passengers. Every day is different," said First Officer Annmarie Savitiski (DAL).
Emily Warner: The First Female Pilot Member of ALPA
Air Line Pilot, June/July 2000, page 29
By Capts. Rick Wise and Jolanda Witvliet (United)
Recently Capt. Emily Howell Warner was inducted into the Wings over the Rockies Museum in Denver, Colo. We were privileged to have the opportunity to be able to attend the ceremony and interview Capt. Warner, who, in 1973, became the first female pilot hired by a U.S. scheduled airline.
Emily Howell was born on Oct. 30, 1939, and attended Holy Family High School in Colorado. She started flying in 1958; and after amassing her private, commercial, and flight instructor certificates, and instrument and multiengine ratings, she went to work for Clinton Aviation Company as a flight instructor. She rose to the positions of chief pilot, flight school manager, and FAA pilot examiner, racking up more than 7,000 hours of flight time in a period of less than 12 years. Read the full story.

sightings of the Motorola DROID BIONIC became like sightings of Big Foot. Even Motorola Mobility CEO Sanjay Jha weighed in about the launch of the phone. Finally, on September 8th the device launched and almost immediately was hit by some bugs and laggy performance. To make matters worse, about 40 days later Motorola introduced the Motorola DROID RAZR and the days of the DROID BIONIC were done. The price of the handset started at $299.99 with a signed 2-year contract and started to drop. Now, with the price of both the Motorola DROID RAZR and Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX already starting on the slippery slope toward zero, the Motorola DROID BIONIC is already there. Verizon will sell you give you the handset for free as long as you lock into another 2-year tour with the carrier.
Obviously, Motorola is looking to clear up some room on its shelves for a new handset. Motorola DROID RAZR HD anyone?

Thank you for choosing FAIR Salvage Company, a business run by Faith, not by sight. Once upon a time there was a little boy (who had a dream) who grew up and got married and had a little boy who grew up. One day he came to his dad and said "I have an idea; do you think it will work"?
Because we are your local scrap metal and electronics recycler who always has the highest prices around. Come see us today!
I've been bringing metal to Fair Salvage for 15 years or better. You guys have always treated me like family up there and I don't wanna go anywhere else. I've been to other places and don't like the way they treat me. You guys have always treated me with the most understanding and help me to learn how to do this even better. When I need to download stuff off my vehicle there's always somebody there to help me unload. I really appreciate Fair Salvage and hope to continue doing business with you until I'm too old to do it anymore.
I would just like to say that although I am not a "regular" customer, I always get treated as though I go there on a regular basis. No matter who is greeting me at the scales, and no matter the weather, your staff is always very polite, friendly, and call me by my first name. I also appreciate the fact that they look the load over and tell me how to sort it and re-weigh it to get the maximum amount of money for my load. I'm always impressed by the cleanliness of the indoor office area as well as the yard. This is a first class facility and I wouldn't want to go to any other scrap yard. Keep up the great work.
I frequent your Montcalm yard and your staff has been nothing but helpful since day one. Very patient, and excellent at conveying ways I can better prepare for future loads. Couldn't ask for a better business relationship.

Long overdue standards will help to protect nation's energy workers
Washington, D.C.Today, Senator Edward M. Kennedy praised the Department of Energy for making much-needed changes to a safety rule. Senator Kennedy said: "This rule will provide long-awaited safety protections that will benefit over 100,000 workers across the country. I applaud the critical changes that the Department has made to ensure that America's energy workers have the strong protections they need and deserve. And I look forward to continuing to work with them to improve the safety conditions for our nation's workers."
Senator Kennedy has been a vigilant champion for stronger safety standards for energy workers. He and Senator Jim Bunning (R-KY) were lead sponsors of Atomic Energy Act section 234C, which directed Department of Energy to create federally enforceable safety standardswith appropriate fines and penaltiesto apply at DOE facilities. These workers previously had no enforceable safety protections under federal law.
Kennedy and colleagues were critical of the Department of Energy's initial rule in December 2003. The Department withdrew its first rule and issued a new proposed rule in January 2005. Kennedy and Bunning suggested several needed changes to that rule, such as ensuring workers can exercise their rights not to work under dangerous conditions, and establishing an enforceable rule to protect workers from beryllium exposure. The final regulations address many of these concerns.

I attended the General Dynamics shareholder annual meeting last week in Washington, D.C.
Loretto (incorporated in Kentucky in 1849 as the Loretto Literary and Benevolent Institute) bought stock more than 30 years ago when GD was headquartered in St. Louis. They had no production sites there, so local activists challenged the corporate decision to produce nuclear delivery systems. McDonnell Douglas had 45,000 St. Louis employees, so that disarmament campaign stressed planning for economic conversion to other manufactured products.
Those early disarmament resolutions with General Dynamics only got 1 or 2 percent of the vote, but we also looked at corporate governance. After the few employees who voted with us got company reprimands, we filed a resolution calling for a secret ballot. When we received 10 percent of that vote and refiled the resolution the next year, GD agreed to implement a secret ballot.
I was in the office of the corporate secretary, John McGuire, ready to sign a resolution withdrawal agreement, but there was an error in the documents. While the papers were being retyped (yes, it was a long time ago), Mr. McGuire described the new ethics policy, the Blue Book, born out of bad publicity and greed, but nonetheless an important document. I was interested. Then he interrupted himself to say, "But, of course, sister, I understand that this is not the ethics you are talking about."
Fast-forward to last Wednesday, when the company proxy statement lauded the Blue Book and added that the company focuses on " 'doing the right thing' for our employees, our customers, the environment, and the communities in which we operate." Sadly, "doing the right thing" is not the same as company policy.
The corporate human rights campaign worries about not just employees but also subcontractor behavior such as environmental dumping and human trafficking. We tried to explain that in the resolution that received 18.7 percent of the vote. Shareholders have learned to pay better attention.
