Hammer Time is a special event being planned to kick off the U.S. Olympic Trials this summer. Instead of Eugene, Beaverton, Oregon will be the site of the competition. The Nike World Headquarters will be transformed to showcase these special athletes and lead everyone toward the later festivities down south. With Hayward Field being the historical and iconic site that it is, we wondered what the athletes really thought about this unique separation. Britney Henry filled us in.
Even being a two-time All-American, a PAC-10 champ and a University of Oregon school record holder, Britney has still improved by leaps and bounds since graduating from college. She has since been ranked 2nd in the US and 14th in the World and thrown a personal best of 71.27 meters (233 feet, 9 1/2 inches). Currently she spends most of her time in San Diego, training at the Olympic Training Center, where she is close to family and friends, but moves up to Eugene for one week every month to get one-on-one instruction from her throwing coach Lance Deal. She is an active voice in the female athlete world, keeping a regular blog and doing all she can to raise awareness about sports and the importance of following dreams.
Were you training in Eugene in 2008 last time the Trials were here? Did you compete in them?
Yes I was living and training here and did compete in them.
Tell us a little about how your attitude and expectations might be different now coming into this meet than in 2008.
I had just graduated from college and was new to the career. I am coming into this one with a much more stable mindset- more prepared to compete as a professional. I've learned how to think, train my mind, to calm my nerves, what I need to do physically and mentally to be ready on the day of competition. I see myself as a contender for this team.
How do you feel about Hammer Time and it being separated from the rest of the festivities in Eugene?
I'm really excited! I think any opportunity to get exposure for the hammer is great! This will showcase the event in a new crowd (Portland). It's always fun for us to be able to show people what we do.
Aside from your competition, what are you looking forward to most about the Trials this summer?
(Laughs)…the Beer Garden! It will be fun to come down to Eugene after our competition is over and just chill out watching the races.
What do you foresee being the biggest hassle/challenge in the overall Trials experience?
I have it nice; when I come down to Eugene, I stay with my coach (kind of off the grid) which keeps me out of the crowds. I would definitely encourage people to do that, check out restaurants outside of the main areas. Personally, the worst thing for me is the POLLEN! It hits me pretty hard.
Do you think you have any advantages, being based and training in Eugene?
Yeah, people may still recognize my name from when I competed at the University of Oregon, but I think events here are fun for everyone because the track fan base really understands the sport. They know what a good mark is and when to cheer and get excited!
Do you have anything/anywhere specific in Eugene that you would recommend other athletes and spectators check out when they visit this summer?
Cornucopia is definitely one of my favorites- the one on 17th, they have a good menu and good beer! I also like Roaring Rapids Pizza in Springfield.
Stay in the 'ring' with Brittany from now until the Trials by following her on

Rain and wind blew into Longboat Key this morning, creating minor storm debris on the southern portion of the island.
According to Longboat Key Public Works Director Juan Florensa, town staff worked earlier today to remove debris, such as tree branches, that accumulated on the ground mostly to south of the 4000 block of Gulf of Mexico Drive.
"The high winds were mostly on the Sarasota side," he said.
Florensa said that the storm debris did not cause road blockages.
Rain gauge readings will be available tomorrow.

Sweitzer Lake State Park just south of Delta has opened in April for weekend boating. Starting May 1, the park will be open daily.
Due to early season conditions, floating debris and unmarked hazards may exist. All trailered vessels must go through an aquatic nuisance species (ANS) inspection prior to launching. The ramp will be open for ANS inspection from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. If you wish to boat outside of those hours, you must obtain a seal from a certified ANS boat inspector and go through the proper pre-inspection procedure.

Capsized Boat
Officers with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) are asking for the public's help in locating the operator of a bass boat found overturned Saturday night in a canal off the south side of Alligator Alley, west of the mile marker 40 boat ramp in Broward County.
For several hours in the darkness, FWC and its law enforcement partners searched land and water for occupants but without success. Officers also searched all the boat ramps along the Alley but did not locate a vehicle or trailer that could have transported the capsized boat.
Debris, including food and fishing gear, was found floating near the scene. The key was in the ignition and in the "on" position.
Attempts to locate the boat's current owner were unsuccessful; the boat's registration expired 10 years ago.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to call the FWC's Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-3922. Callers may remain anonymous and could be eligible for a reward if their information leads to an arrest.

There's been a little controversy on the interwebs over himbo Channing Tatum winning the title of People's Sexiest Man Alive over Ryan Gosling and I want to come to Tatum's defense.
Let me make something perfectly clear: Given the choice between Ryan Gosling and Channing Tatum, I will take Ryan Gosling. Every single time.
But if I was on the editorial board at People magazine, I'd vote for Tatum as Sexiest Man Alive. (An aside: Can't they call it "Sexiest Man of the Year?" To use the word "alive" suggests that last year's winner got really fat and/or died.)
And here's why:
1. Channing Tatum loves the ladies and the ladies love him back. I'm not saying that just because he used to be a stripper and this year made Magic Mike (whose release date will be a national holiday in my home from this year forward.) He also does drippy, PMS-approved romance films like The Vow and Dear John. The guy may as well own stock in the Lifetime Network at this point. There's something to be said for a man...

This week's film is, I believe, a straight to video title based on a Stephen King short story. I found the DVD used one day for $5 or less so T thought I might take a chance. [Read it all...]

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"This really completed our wedding invitations! We used the wedding invitation, the RSVP card and this card as part of our invites. It would be perfect for providing information of how to get from the church to the reception - however we actually provided a map and used this card to include a cute poem asking guests not to bring gifts and just add to our honeymoon fund!"
"I used these cards to give guest hotel accommodation information. Everything was completely customizable and matched perfectly to my invites and RSVP cards. The card size is about the same as the RSVP card but in portrait (not landscape)... it's the perfect accompaniment to the invitation suite!"
"This colorful insert was just what we wanted, and complemented our invitations perfectly! I loved having inserts in addition to our invitation, because it added so much more color to the whole package! The vertical lay-out allows room for lots of information to be printed on the card."
"The card is large enough to accommodate the lengthy directions to our ceremony, as well as accommodation information!! You can definitely fit all the information you need on this card and it will save you from having to purchase extra enclosure cards!"
"I was after a vintage piece and this was perfect. I teamed this card with a magnet in the same style and they were perfect. I adjusted the colour to "coast" which is a light dusty blue. The team at wedding paper divas were very helpful. I paid extra for the ripple paper which amplified the vintage look I was hoping to achieve. I was impressed with the quality. They are actually absolutely beautiful and I couldn't ask for anything more perfect. My order was shipped to Australia incredibly quickly"

Thanks -- listen Bill O'Reilly in the week days -- -- segment tonight the latest polling out today as President Obama up by two points in two polls three points in the Rasmussen deal.
But really the polls don't mean very much right now because of the upcoming debate on Wednesday after that today.
-- take on more importance -- some North Carolina purveyor Bernard Goldberg dot com mr.
Goldberg so -- -- watching.
The debate the last two weeks about you know how certain polls overweight Democrats -- that they don't really tell you the truth and you said.
I say that first of all you're right that whatever the polls are saying tonight.
They may be saying something very very different in a few days after the first debate.
The part that baffles me.
Because I follow all the polls.
Part that absolutely baffles me is I have no idea none.
If they're reliable I have no idea if there reflecting reality and Mitt Romney is really losing.
Or if there's so overweighting the Democrats.
The polls -- giving us the wrong impression.
One day I see a poll that says.
Mitt Romney is not only losing nationally.
But he's losing in every single battleground state.
Then I hear Dick Morris and his polls say that Mitt Romney is gonna win by seven or eight points my head is.
Right then nobody I don't know I mean nobody really knows so the post mortem on this elections can be very fascinating.
Because Rasmussen was the best in no way to know for that's why we we put more credibility into them.
Than the others but here -- here's uninteresting day.
The internal polling I understand.
The Republican side -- they take their own polls that they don't publish sites.
In and that allows them to buy television time in certain areas that they need help it.
The internal polling says that they are falling behind in Ohio in particular that that's a real trouble spot for them now so.
It's almost impossible to quantify everything like that but I don't think the polls are crazy wrong but I do think that there probably in favor of Barack Obama one -- two point.
It's well -- okay I'll buy that.
Let's let's let's talking about postmortem so let's do this let's say.
Dick Morris is right.
Let's say Mitt Romney wins big and the final polls don't reflect that.
Then there's gonna need to be some kind of investigation that's right.
Yeah cause because.
Pat Caddell who you had on earlier who is a very Smart guy who like quote extensively.
In a slobbering love affair.
He thinks the media have become so corrupt during this election cycle that the -- screwing around with the polls personally I don't believe.
The polls -- are -- I do not believe that I don't think they get together to let me -- -- let me stop -- there again.
Ring -- is an interesting word.
Every one of those pollsters -- to New York Times NBC news Wall Street Journal Washington Post every one.
-- goals that the use in the same model in 2008.
Today right and they all know.
That the -- it's not going to be as strong run in twelve was eight so they know that -- model is flawed but they don't care.
If that if that's if that's precisely correct.
Then that does slide into the -- it that does slide from simply being bad science into something more sinister.
It's not realistic to think that the 2008 voter turnout model.
Is valid in 2012.
Right and if there in fact if there are in fact doing that.
An aunt and if if I know it.
They know that it's not a good model then you do have to wonder Pat Caddell is on to something again.
I'm not a conspiracy type of guy so I'm not saying it's -- but if they're using a bad model.
And then they not only do polls bill then they write about their own polls and it it creates an impression that it's time but it.
-- here's a driver eight there is -- Romney.
There is no government agency that investigates the -- because we know it's -- media if it's the media that should should investigated and I'm not holding my not a good luck because this would be the same media.
That's doing a lot of the -- you know look so they're doing the poll is so distracted they don't remember three days ago what happened.
This is what the -- bank side.
We can make a mistake nobody's gonna remember will just wipe it off the blackboard.
And then we'll say whatever we wanna say they're not -- own up to anything I hope I hope you remember.
Because right into the election right after the election I hope you do.
One of two things well you're gonna come back and we'll run down all the polls.
Oak all of annual flu including the conservative polls it's actually look good -- is gonna win by eight points because at that doesn't happen.
I mean I hope you I hope you questioned some of these it'll say what we're thinking about what we all you have opinion ought to set up from -- out -- We're you know he's going to be swing in.
And you I -- Romney I murdered -- Martha -- going to be you know that they -- let me reflect my bias I hope.
Dick Morris is absolutely correct well a lot of people do -- and you know but the polls were really get a sort of pay attention to them.
Monday after the debate.
It's gonna take three -- four days for the debate to sink in the beyond the Internet that's what most people gonna watch by the way not on her lifetime.
Because he'll be doing whatever -- people are doing dancing singing karaoke.
But it'll get around to -- -- -- -- and then Monday we'll -- Spreading -- everybody draws Krauthammer on -- will pinpoint that Romney's biggest mistake in the campaign so far.

FCS Diversity and Inclusion - PROPOSED RULE - MARCH 2011
Dear Mr. Van Meter,
Thank you for this opportunity to provide comment on ways the FCS can better serve small and midsized, local and regional food producers. We support your efforts and ask that you include:
1. A plan for conducting outreach to local and regional food producers.
2. A requirement that such an outreach plan and periodic progress reports be made public.
3. A commitment to adding local and regional food producers to the FCS board.
4. A plan for providing staff development training to FCS personnel across the full spectrum of lending, accounting, farm transfer and business planning services appropriate for serving local and regional food producers.
5. An inventory of strengths and weaknesses of financing for local and regional food infrastructure (aggregation, processing, distributing, etc.) and an FCA plan for how to use FCS local and regional food producer financing to leverage other public and private capital necessary to address the larger weaknesses in the rest of the local and regional food supply chain.

Carrie Underwood starred in a LIVE TV production of 'The Sound of Music' the other night (one of my favorite movies of all time, btw) on NBC. I was skeptical about how she would pull off the lead role (which was made famous by the incredible Julie Andrews)... I watched a few videos of her performance... and I can't say I'm impressed.
One big question I have is - why did they do this live? Just because? I think it would have been better if the singing was done in a studio (sorry!), and if it was shot more artistically... Overall, was a little weird in my opinion.
Critics are weighing in and are a little split on Carrie's performance, while one of the original cast members wasn't pleased at all...
Kym Karath, who played Gretl Von Trapp in the original movie production, took to twitter to express how she felt about it. "Mystified & disappointed so far by SOM special. So far only happy with Stephen Moyer," she wrote. Later, she added: "Must admit some scenes are actually painful to watch." At the end of the night, she wrote, "Love Carrie Underwood but this role is just not right for her. She is lovely her voice is beautiful but acting is wrong." She DID add that she liked the scene with the Captain, Herr Detweiler and Baroness, and she loved Laura Benanti's performance. Clearly, it was Carrie she had a problem with.
What did YOU think? Did she pull it off? Check out Carrie's "Do-Re-Mi," and then Julie Andrew's version below!

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Wind Energy - Types of Modern Wind Turbine
Early machines - twenty-five years ago - were fairly small (50-100 kW, 15-20 m diameter) but there has been a steady growth in size and output power. Several commercial types of wind turbine now have ratings of over 2 MW and diameters of around 60-70 m; machines for the offshore market have outputs of up to 5 MW and diameters up to 110 m. The way in which sizes have increased is shown in Fig. 12-3; the average rating of turbines installed in Germany in 1992 was 180 kW and in 2005 it was 1 728 kW - nearly ten times as much.
Machine sizes have increased for two reasons. Larger machines are cheaper and they deliver more energy. The energy yield is improved partly because the rotor is located higher from the ground and so intercepts higher-velocity winds, and partly because they are slightly more efficient. Yields, in kWh per square metre of rotor area, are now double those of 1990 (Welke and Nick-Leptin, 2006). Reliability has also improved steadily and most wind turbine manufacturers now guarantee availabilities of 95%.
The majority of the world's wind turbines have three glass-reinforced plastic blades. The power train includes a low-speed shaft, a step-up gearbox and an induction generator, either four or six-pole. There are numerous other possibilities, however. Wood-epoxy is an alternative blade material and some machines have two blades. Variable-speed machines are becoming more common and many generate power using an AC/DC/AC system, but double-fed induction generators are becoming increasingly common. Variable speed brings several advantages - it means that the rotor turns more slowly in low winds (keeping noise levels down), it reduces the loadings on the rotor and the power conversion system, and the generators are usually able to deliver current at any specified power factor. Some manufacturers build direct-drive machines, without a gearbox. These are usually of the variable-speed type, with power-conditioning equipment.
Towers are usually made of steel and the great majority are of the tubular type. Lattice towers, common in the early days, are now rare, except for very small machines in the range 100 kW and below. Recent increases in the price of steel have re-awakened interest in concrete towers, but there are relatively few examples yet.
As the power in the wind increases with the cube of the wind speed, all wind turbines need to limit their power output in very high winds. There are two principal means of accomplishing this, with pitch control on the blades or with fixed, stall-controlled blades. Pitch-controlled blades are rotated as wind speeds increase so as to limit the power output and once the 'rated power' is reached, a reasonably steady output can be achieved, subject to the control system response. Stall-controlled rotors have fixed blades which gradually stall as the wind speed increases, thus limiting the power by passive means. These dispense with the necessity for a pitch-control mechanism, but it is rarely possible to achieve constant power as wind speeds rise. Once peak output is reached the power tends to fall off with increasing wind speed, and so the energy capture may be less than that of a pitch-controlled machine. The merits of the two designs are finely balanced and until recently roughly equal numbers of each type were being built. Since the turn of the century, however, pitch-controlled machines have become more popular.

The Other Iron Law: Tackle a Streaker, Get Booked

He wasn't just booked, he was sent off. And, strictly speaking, it was the correct decision. Violent conduct isn't just restricted to an offence against another player. Still a ridiculous decision though.

Given the big issue in Australia is her carbon tax, and the US is getting one from the EPA by stealth, I thought "climate", "carbon" and "warming" might be in the word cloud.
Perhaps the wise ones don't need to talk about things that might confuse the ignorant masses. - Thu Mar 10, 08:59:00 PM MST

Hmmm, technically speaking I guess only the first guy really qualify as a "proper streaker" ;o) but yes, there seems to be a pattern and a lesson to be learned here. I wonder what the "life" iron law of this would be?
Btw Roger, the Arsenal player is called Nicklas Bendtner (I know you are a stickler for getting the details right :o) - Fri Mar 11, 03:39:00 AM MST

Thanks for the correction, always welcome. Here in Boulder "proper streakers" have been known to be booked as sex offenders (seriously) so perhaps best to be prudent in such things ;-) - Fri Mar 11, 06:13:00 AM MST

Roger, you can take a Dane out of Denmark but you can't take being Danish out of a Dane……;o) I reckon about half of the Danish population would get booked for lack of "prudence" during the summer……

Before 1943 it was known as the Women's Auxiliary Army Corps. Its first director was Oveta Culp Hobby. During World War II, WACs served as medical technicians, cartography clerks, secretaries, and the like in the United States and in all the theaters of war. Almost 100,000 had joined the WAC by 1945. Enlistment ended with the war's end, and rapid demobilization followed. But by 1946 the War Department asked for reenlistments to meet shortages in army hospitals and personnel centers. In 1948 a bill was passed by Congress formally establishing the WAC within the regular army. The WAC was dissolved in 1978.

Sticking to the Debate - Much More Interesting
People are funny.
Rather than actually arguing a point, a favourite tactic is often to try and discredit the source. Don't take a persuasive point of view. Just try and accuse those who think differently of some kind of bias.
When I write something critical of the Leafs, some suggest I've only written it because I hate the Leafs. If I write something critical about the Ottawa Senators, I'll get emails saying I've only taken that point of view because I love the Leafs.
Sometimes I think I should introduce these people to each other.
So long ago I stopped worrying when people accuse me of some bias or another. It usually just means they have no intelligent argument to make.
Today, I'm dealing with all kinds of people criticizing a column I wrote that was critical of Mike Babcock's handling of the Team Canada goalie situation by writing - as though I somehow wasn't admitting it - that I'm only taking that point of view because I co-wrote a book with Brodeur four years ago.
To that I have two things to say.
One, if you believe I have a conflict, then why would you possibly care about what I think? There's no way I can argue the point, so I have to accept that some people believe that. That's part of being in this business, and its no more bothersome to me than those who say I write critical columns on the Leafs because I hate the Leafs, etc.
Second, I can make an argument that Brodeur should have continued as Canada's goalie. At the same time, I understand that some believe it's Roberto Luongo's turn. In fact, the majority of writers at these Games take that point of view. I don't agree, but I can certainly accept that point of view. And I never, ever mind being in the minority.
And you'll notice I didn't accuse Babcock of any kind of conflict because he coaches Detroit and Brodeur plays for New Jersey, or that he prefers Luongo because he's in the Western Conference.
I simply disagreed with his decision and the way in which he made it.
That's how it should work folks.
So fill your boots if you want to accuse me of conflict. All it means is you have no argument to make.
I do with Brodeur. I would have stuck with him because he has won three Stanley Cups, multiple Vezina Trophies and an Olympic gold medal, plus the fact he was brilliant against the Swiss and totally saved Canada from what would have been an embarrassing defeat by stoning each and every Swiss in the shootout. If he didn't have a strong game against the U.S., well, this is a Hall of Fame goalie who has proven time and time again his ability to bounce back.
Luongo? He didn't play his way into this start. He was handed it.
And you know what? If he backstops Canada to a gold medal Babcock's decision will have been the correct one.
And you'll read it here first. Then I'll probably get emails from Leaf fans accusing me of being a Canuck lover. . . .

The City of Light turns to glass
I'm sitting on the floor in the Montréal Musée d'Art Contemporain watching a vertiginous video installation when a dozen fifth graders enter the room. The group is flanked by two female teachers and led by a curly-haired male museum guide who looks fresh out of grad school.

Back in Black (RB4 version)
Author for Freen in Green Freelance
Satisfaction- Rolling Stones. Not because it's my favorite, but just because it's such an iconic Rock song. Plus, it's a real shame there wasn't more Stones in RB.
"Back in the Saddle Again" by Aerosmith
Pushing 50 and still rockin' like a teen, only now I can afford it and it takes longer to recover.
Nickelback - Next Go Round
[0] Katy Perry
[3] Dream Theater
[6] Shinedown
[21] Megadeth
Joe Esposito - You're The Best
With lyrics like:
"Try to believe though the going gets rough
That you gotta hang tough to make it
History repeats itself..."
"When the odds in the game defy you..."
Its tailor made for the RB come back!
Aerosmith's "Back in the Saddle" would have been a worthy choice, but we already have that.
Perhaps it's not remembered enough to be as anthemic as it should be, but Jefferson Starship's "Find Your Way Back" would definitely work, both as a game track and as a announcement of the game's return, hoping to find its way back into gamers' hearts.
It's all right. Everything will work out fine.
It's all right. We're going to the end of the line!
based on the likelihood of this actually happening, i'm going to go with Nine Inch Nails' "Something I Can Never Have"
"Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who. Relax, people. I jest.
But I believe in this and it's been tested by research: he who [edit] nuns will later join the church.
- Joe Strummer
We need a song that not only fits the message of coming back, but is especially rocking.
"Been Away Too Long" - Soundgarden
My blog. Check it out.

"Kitchen herbs" are foods so named in Chinese dietetics because they are added during cooking and eaten on a regular basis, to ensure their medicinal benefits will be received at a slow and steady rate. We have western herbs and spices that do this, too.
In addition to flavoring a meal, culinary herbs help you digest that meal. They also have high cancer-preventing anti-oxidant values, are anti-viral, anti-bacterial and possess many other properties, as you shall see. Here are a few culinary herbs, to give you the idea.
Basil aids digestion and has a mildly sedative quality for the relief of pain. Its properties are warm, aromatic, and pungent; its pharmaceutical name is Ocimum basilicum. Basil is in the mint family, which medicinally is one of the most useful families of herbs. Google Scholar and PubMed searches yielded many research studies of Ocimum basilicum, including anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, insect-repelling, and hair growth. World-wide, the chemical constituents of the plant's oil are being studied for diverse conditions such as irritable bowel disease for its effects on the immune system, and stroke for its ability to prevent clot formation.
Oregano stimulates digestion and eases GI tract spasms that create gassiness. Its properties are warm, aromatic, and slightly bitter; its pharmaceutical name is Origanum vulgare. Oregano is also in the mint family. Google Scholar and PubMed searches yielded many research studies of Origanum vulgare, including anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial and insect-repellant properties, and the ability to promote hair growth.
Tarragon aids digestion and promotes appetite. Its properties are warm, strongly acrid and aromatic; its pharmaceutical name is Artemesia dracunculus. Tarragon is in the wormwood family, from which vermouth is made. Tarragon has the same chemical composition as anise, which is good for abdominal distention and pain. Google Scholar and PubMed searches yielded many research studies of Artimesia dracunculus, including testing its anti-fungal, anti-convulsant, anti-hyperglycemic, anti-parasitic, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and insect-repellant abilities.
Plants are complex constructs of many chemical compounds. What makes them medicinal powerhouses are their volatile oils, which have a molecular weight so light they are characterized as "sublime" or "ethereal" in the literature. Many studies have been and continue to be done, testing their effects on the central nervous system.
With some exceptions, culinary herbs are best consumed in their fresh form, but that is not always practical in our busy lives. Therefore, the rule of thumb to get the most benefit of their properties is to use 1 teaspoon of a dried herb and multiply that by roughly 4 when using fresh. Beginning with this quantity you can assess if it's too much or too little and make adjustments to your taste.
When buying dried herbs it is preferable to spend a little more for the organically grown product, since it has become the standard practice of large manufacturers to irradiate herbs to increase their shelf life, and they are not yet required to label this practice.
