Girls playing with the Boys, and Boys playing with the Girls

Girls playing with the Boys, and Boys playing with the Girls
Zoe Meyer
On the athletic field, in the gym, or on the ice, there have always
been standards for the athletes to follow. These standards range from
what type of athletic equipment is not only necessary but appropriate,
to who can play when, where, and how. This last standard is the one
that is being challenged the most; can men play not only on women's
teams, but can they also participate in female dominated sports without
being taunted? The same goes for women, can females, without fear,
really participate in traditionally male dominated sports? Although the
social costs to the individual participating in the non-traditional
sport are many, the benefits, if played well and correctly, can be and
are quite plentiful as well.
For men, this desire to participate in traditionally female dominated sports is not quite as great as it is for females. This is because, honestly, men have a wealth of opportunities for athletics, whether it be professional or not, for every one chance women have. But, in the case that a male does want to participate in a female dominated sport, he will have a hard time being accepted, not necessarily by his female teammates, but by the society watching the sport. Traditionally, male athletes are supposed to be in rough and tumble sports. They are supposed to be hard bodied, passionate about the game, and willing to play no matter what the circumstances. Most female sports, even the female counterpart of a male sport, is less rough and tumble and less aggressive than male sports. For a man to participate in one of these sports he is likely to get laughed off the field, taunted with jeers of "homo" and suggestions that he is "not man enough" to play with the "real men" in traditionally male dominated sports. This can not only be damaging to the male playing, but it can also be damaging to the women playing. The jeers could become aimed at the women on the field or the ice and they could hint that women are not only incapable to play, but that since they need a man to join their team to help them, they obviously do not belong anywhere but on the sidelines.
This previous example is probably a little extreme, but the ideas behind it are quite real. Imagine a man walking onto the deck of a swimming pool, ready to compete in synchronized swimming. The expected first impression would be, "what the…?" because men are not supposed to be synchronized swimmers. There may not be jeers taunted at him, and he may not get made fun of, but he is not looked upon favorably by those watching the event. If, however, he is looked upon favorably, in whatever female dominated sport he is participating, the benefits could be plenty. Imagine the publicity the team would get, not to mention the only man on the team! The endorsements for athletic equipment, shoes, and many other things could support him for the rest of his life after just one year of playing. Being the only man on a professional or Olympic level team could potentially lead to more opportunities for endorsements and such than being just another member of a men's team. This may seem well and good, but when a man "makes it big" playing for a women's team, there is always the question and suggestion that he should then go play with the big boys. With this in mind, it is easy to see that a male's opportunity for continual benefits from playing on a women's team are slim. Again, this is something that is not very common for men at the professional level, or even at an amateur level because of the fact that men have more opportunities to play than women.
Women, on the other hand, often want to participate in, not only traditionally male dominated sports because, at least now there are female counterparts for them, but they want to "play with the big boys" as well. For a female to "break into" a male sport is probably one of the most difficult parts of actually being an athlete. The main argument that is used almost regardless of the sport for women participating in traditionally male dominated sports is that the female body is not made to correctly function while participating. Also, the idea that the women will lose their femininity if they play with men is another reason to keep them off the field and out of the ring. For women to be taken seriously in a male dominated sport they have to not only be the best female in the ring, gym, or wherever, they also have to be the best overall athlete.
Traditionally, women are thought of as more fragile, and less
aggressive than men. With this in mind, it is clear the reasons why it
is so difficult for women to participate in male dominated sports. The
costs to a woman playing with a man in the ring or on the field are
more numerous than simply getting laughed at and called names. Usually,
to really see the extent to which women can take playing with the boys,
the men will usually play their hardest, if not harder in an attempt to
push the women to their limits and eventually make them quit. Also,
since the woman is in a male dominated sport, the chances that there
are other females out there helping "the cause" are very small which
makes it even harder for her to be taken seriously.
The benefits for a woman in a man's sport however are probably some of the greatest out there. She will not only most likely be the star and the sweetheart of the team, but she will also most likely get the most attention both in and out of the game. Also, the endorsements for a woman playing with men are unimaginable, especially with all the feminists behind her and supporting her, she will most likely never have to worry about money again. The one problem with all of this though, is that she will probably have to be defending her sexuality constantly from those that think all female athletes are gay. However, if any woman can get through the taunting, and succeed in a male dominated sport, then she truly will have "made it" in the world of athletics.
For men and women to participate in sports not traditionally dominated by their sex is probably a lot more difficult at first than would seem worth it, but in the end it could be a major stepping stone into the world of athletics as well as the rest of society. The costs to both seem, at first, almost insurmountable, but once they have become versed in the ways of the sport, the benefits out rule it all.

I am an african american FEMALE, who plays football. I started at the age of 5 when i played on a 6 yr old BOY TEAM. when i first started yea, it was harsh but as i got older boys became scared of me and girls didnt even look at me unless they were my friends because they knew who i was!!!! I was the best player on the team amd recieved a lot of MVP's. people shouldn't discriminate agaist girl(women) because girls "some" girls r as tough as boys. sure i had lil boyfriends and i still did girl thing but dont juge a girl by what they look like, because i could be the prettiest girl but also the "one who knows how to take care of business! till' this day noone messes with me or even THINKS about "tryin'" to pick on me even though i may not look like a football player i AM one! Sincxe i am omly 13 i still have lots to accomplish and i say yeah to ALL the girls who think they can handle the sport!!!!!!!!!!!!1 P.S- on my team after the games boys couldn't even tell i was a girl until' i took my helment off becouse i was that good, i am not afraid to brake a nail and i am not preppy i am "a football playin' female repin' all da guhs!!!!!GET THAT?!?!?!?!?
I am 14 years old and so into football... many people see its as strange (mostly females) but many other people (mostly males) think its cool. Its not that i wanna play with the "big boys" as your article states. I just like to play football. I am not trying to prove myself in anyway.. i just wanna play. What i'm trying to say is i disagree with the argument why females play male teams.
there is no way that a girl can play football especially in the Texas 5A district I mean they would get killed. Plus I have played football with a girl and its weird it feels like u have to go easy on them or something.their also very dramatic and they might hurt themselfs ... Brennan Deuel, 15 May 2006
I love Football I have loved it forever! But I can't play on the team. I am in 8th grade and I am 14 I think that I can make up my mind if I want to play!! But the school sead that they don't want me to get hert! Give me a break I love football I can thow better then all the boys in my gym class. The boys think that I am not good enoph but give me a team and a football and I will show you what I can do! Even my dad sead that I am really good at home I have my own football and half the boys at school don't. So why can't I play?!?!?! ... Stephanie Garnett, 18 October 2006

Falysha Raymond, 19 October 2006
WOW, what a great artical, congrats! all of it is so true...personally i think boys and girls should be able to participate in whichever sport, whenever and with who! it would be fantastic to see one day, during prime time, on a prime television station, a male dominated sport being played by females and gettin gthe same amount of surport as male sports do today ...

I am 18 years old, and am currently coaching an all boys hockey team. I have been playing hockey from the time i was 5 and couldn't be happier. Yes i was playing on a all boys team for 12 years, but i think that it made me better at the sport becasue, i was challenged. I loved playing the sport and made some amazing friend threw it. I tried playing for a girls team but i missed my "boys". yes they do get pissed when they realize a girl just knocked them on thier butt but on the other hand it gave me more confidence as a girl playing a boy sport! MUCH LOVE! ... Stephanie, 12 November 2007

Austin, 6 December 2007
All the guys at my school
All the guys at my school including the coach think I'm a joke... I just want to play football but no... "You're to fragile" or "You're to sensitive"... I want to play soooooooooo bad...
14 girl hockey
im a 14yr old girl who plays ice hockey. i love it but when i get to 17 i will have to play on the girls team, because the coaches wont let you try out. also you wont get scouted even tho my coach im really gud. Lets face it, contact hockey is more fun that noncontact hockey, (the girls league). there have been 3 players in the nhl, total, you were women. biut they never played a whole season.because the guys are afraid to hit them.
In games, you were helmets, you cant tell who is a girl and who isnt so they check you anyway. i understand the curtesy aspect, its either, you went easy on/get beat by a girl. or wtf you beat up a girl. it should be judged on talent not your lack of penis. NOone will takeyou seriously as a girl. but if you get the chance, go for it. and wip their butts on the way round.
When you start a guys sport, you will be rubbish, and they will think, oh girls are rubbish. but you need to get better and beat them. then they will take you as "one of the guys" dont be prissy, if your good, show it off and beat them. Guys may be bigger than you in height and muscle, which is more intimidating but girls are leaner, faster, smaller( to dodge) and its always fun to see their faces when you check them and theyre like, wtf i was checked by a girl. if theyre gunna be pussies about it, go away
i am 17 and play on an all
i am 17 and play on an all guy football team since i was in 7th grade. my team made it to state last year and won. i am the only gurl that can walk around and flash a ring like that. i play with my brother and great friends. i never get it easier actually i get it worse. passion for something is not in the gender but in the heart and mind. any gurl or guy can do anything they want and for someone to tell them different is a shame. believe in yourself and achieve your dreams. show the world who you really are. if they dont accept it oh well. the ones who complain about the world isnt goin to change it. i am just as girly as the rest of them. i have a boyfriend wear my hair done and paint my nails. the guys and everyone accepts it so why does it matter? my team and i have a bond that is unbreakable. and guys--imagine if you had a son with a gurl that played that sport. what would you tell them???
Hey I wanted to say congrats
Hey I wanted to say congrats for winning state. I am a senior and gave up a college volleyball scholarship to play football. I wanted a state ring more than anything, but we lost at semi-finals. I definitely understand what you mean about "getting it worse". I remember coming out on the field and the guys thinking it was a joke and then saying that they were going to MAKE ME QUIT. Everytime somebody told me that I could not make it, they gave me more modivation to prove them wrong. I loved seeing the guys' reaction when they saw a football player with hot pink nail polish and then finding out that I am a girl at the end of the game. There was nothing more rewarding than being able to say I was a girl on the high school football team. I am mega-jealous about your state ring though. :D
All the sports I play
I'm 14, and I play hockey (I'm the only girl on my team), lacrosse (I'm on a boys' team but I've played girls too) and I'm an allstar cheerleader (not for school, but for a private gym). All the guys on my hockey team accept me and we're all like brothers and sister. But I do get a lot of crap from guys on the teams we play. But my whole team sticks up for me and tells the other guys to stop talking to me and all that.
I attend Carshalton girls i am the only boy in the school i fit in becuase i am gay but i want to join the volley ball team but i can becuase iam a boy its so unfair
That is sad man!!!!
OMG!!!! that is totally wrong!!!! I believe that everyone should play what they bloody hell want to!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel for you man!!!!!!!!! I mean I am 15 and I no what it is like to be left out but that is just purely pathetic. Would that be becauze u are da only boy or because of your sexual orientation??? I mean being gay LOL! If it is because of ur sexuality than i say stuff them!!!!!! that is wrong! Even though I am a girl and all, I believe poeple should choose their path in life without these distruptions. So sad man!!!!
go girl go!!
go girl go!!
my dad is etting in the way of my furture
okay i want to play football but... my dad says it`s a MAN sport and that girls should either be in the bleachers ir cheerleading EWWW i cannot belive i just said that word!
that's really mean.. he could
that's really mean.. he could say he duzn't want you to get hurt or something..but cheerleading!!! YUCK!
my dad just says if i join
my dad just says if i join something i have to give it my all....and that he happy no madder what.
i am glad that is not my dad
i am glad that is not my dad he sounds mean! i play on a boys soccer team and i am the only girl but i score way more than they do! i hope u achieve ur dream.
What about sports like boxing?
Should girls and boys be allowed to box against each other?
I dont think so. My biggest reason is that guys are raised not hit girls or hurt them and then your saying you gotta knock em out to win. It's too weird they can train together but fighting is going against what most guys are brought up thinking. I do box and I just feel ive been raised never to hit a girl. In contact sports it's frustrating for guys to verse girls.
can 14 year old girls play on boys baseball team?
i was wondering if i should try out for a boys baseball team next year but i am nervous to because of all the haressment girls get from the boys so should i try out and if yall say yes its a good idea then i will try out and if yall have any advice to give me about how boys treat girls in the leage then tell me and tell me how they will act different in denver colorado then houston texas
I am a 14 year old girl and i
I am a 14 year old girl and i have played baseball since 1st grade... I grew up overseas and they didnt have softball so it was totally normal for all the girls to play baseball. I moved to Massachusetts in 6th grade when i was 11 and I have played here too. Look the guys care for maybe a grand total of maybe 3 games. If youve got the skills no one cares! I mean im not saying im a beast but im pretty good and as soon as u earn their respect ur just one of the guys. im really tight with some of my baseball buds now! The big thing is, if its your passion go for it! and dont worry about other guys I have a boyfriend and he totally doesnt care. so basically if you've got three things ur set:
1. You gotta be a decent player
2. You have to have DRIVE to do well
3. You cant back down or get nervous/scared thatll screw u over
good luck!!
How long can girls play baseball is my question can they play in houston or not?
girls and boys on the same team
well lets see i have grown up around around boys all of my life and i seem to get along with my boy cousins but i have played once on a boys team and enjoyed it... but i was only five or six then and it was a tball team... but i have always wanted to be on a baseball team forever and my dream is to be on the team next year but i may or may not be in denver colorado if i dont move from houston texas and i dont want to just waste away my time in houson for the rest of my time.................................. so should i try out for a boys team in denver colorado? please tell me what u think
I box against boys. There
I box against boys. There aren't many girls who are good enough to fight me.
Cool. How old are you and
Cool. How old are you and how does it go fighting boys?
I play footy for a club
I play footy for a club, im a girl , im 12.
I am in year 7, the coaches of the year 7 footy team
let me try out, so i did , they called my name out and
said i was in the team. the coach even said i was in the
top 5.
then a week later, last minute, they decide girls can't
play football !
how much does that suck ! i was really annoyed.
The school was meant to be non-sexist.
hey i play hockey and i
hey i play hockey and i understand exactly what u mean. I love to play and in high school im afraid their not gonna let me play cause im a girl. I don't see y not im just as good as them. They won't even let me tryout!!!!!! Im gonna change that and girls and boys will be on the same team so that everyone can play what they want when they want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'am 13 a i play alsot every
I'am 13 a i play alsot every sports that boy play. I hang out with mostly my friends that are boys. I also hang with my friends that are a girls, but the don't care that i plays sports with the boys or hang with them even thow they are not good at sports. My Middle school have boy and girls sport team. girls are aloud to play on any boys team, they don't juge us because we are girls. My dream is to play High School Football And College Football and go pro one day. But i don't think High school and colleges let girls play but i will neaver give up my dream.
P.S Girls can be tought as boys too. !!!!!!!!!
im 15 im a sophmore and i
im 15 im a sophmore and i play highschool football...its rough..very rough..im first string quarterback....but i worked hard to get there...i lift weights...alot..more then 1/2 the guys and run 2 miles everyday...but college footballs teams arent going to want a girl on their team i gurantee you
Teams should be open to all. . .
Let's forget about gendered teams; there should be one-sport teams, and boys and girls should be allowed to play on them equally. Coed. None of this segregation.
I'm a 15 year old girl and i
I'm a 15 year old girl and i play guys hockey and yeah i get hurt sometimes but so does every other hockey player. I also play lacrosse with boys, and if a girl wants to play football they should be able to. Most girls are a lot stronger than they seem. I don't get hurt any easier than the guys and im barely over 5 feet tall. If any girl wants to play football or any other male dominated sport I encourage you to.
My sister is 15 and she plays
My sister is 15 and she plays guys hockey. She is the only girl on the team and she loves it. Sure she gets hurt but, so does every other hockey player.
Some girls are tough enough
My next door neighbor was a muscular, athletic and tough girl. Up to 7th-8th grade she was stronger and tougher than any of the boys. She regularly beat all the boys at anything from armwrestling to tackle football to wrestling to fighting. Her parents always tried to stop her because "girls are too delicate for rough sports." They didn't look at her, they only looked at that stupid idea. The schools did the same thing. So the boys got lots of chances to compete and get better and my neighbor eventually had to give up and just be a girl. It was sad.
FOOTBALL is a mans sport not a girls sport they should stick to their sports or stay on a all girls team wow!!!! men men men! they will get hurt to easily and like girls always say you cant hit a girl.. so what r we supposed to do!
If girls are just as good as guys then they should be able to play on the same teams as guys. its just fair. i knew a girl who was as good as the guys and played n our select team ever year.
hello im one of the strongest girls in my class!
okay some girls can be 'femine' but dude!! r u serious girls can play football 4 xample im one of the best players on the team have u ever heared of long hornes!!! good god boy!
Hey, I think you are the greatest person on the web next to FRED because football is your fav. I always wanted to play football but my dad said , "I dont want my baby girl getting hurt"!!!! You know what!!! I dont care. I will find a way to play!!!
I AM not put on any teams
I AM not put on any teams for sports well i am in softball, but i love football, hockey, and anything heavy hitting. I am not the greatest at these sports but i play them and I am very good a some poisitions and always practice on the ones i lack. I am going to get in to hockey. it really isn;t ever too late to want to be in such a thing i am 14 and starting to learn hockey.
i love to body check people, adn i am a prety sick goalie lol
I for awhile had boys always telling me I couldn't be good when I played football with them. But i proved them horribly wrong ^_^ lol
I know have the respect from my guy friends to play football and i even have one of my closest ones always asking me if I am going to play with them outside
At my high school we have a pretty nice outside feild they play everyday at luch.
I decided to not play this year since i am a freshman adn rather keep on my studies but i am gunning for next year
Just don wat you love and dont feel ashamed
You may feel shy and at times liek you don't belong but once you take up your posistion and feel that adrenaline then it won't matter ^_^
I'm a girl that has played with boys on a hockey team since i was 5. I play very competitively and i am amazing at it. also i hang out with a lot of guys.
I LOVE the game
I LOVE the game football.....i have only 1 girl-friend but most of my friends are guys and i play every friday with them and my mom is very worried but, i am kinda stronger than them. I ALWAYS win ! : )
Girls don't a little rough game stop YOU from being TRUE! <3
p.s: Guys are always kinda scared of tacking girls so, you mite win with that advantage! : )
IM a girl and i play
IM a girl and i play football and its really fun and i grew up with all boys so im used of getting pushed and stuff like that...I just dont get why every one calls me a boy it sucks i was thinking about quitng but i didnt because was reading every ones comments and i got really happy. BUT every one says i have to lifes because i come home and i act like a girly girl and when im with the boys im not idk wat to do...... :)
can gilrs play baseball????
I think girls should be able to play baseball. I love to be active and play sports. Yeah i know that girls have softball which is a spin off of basedball. But what if you don't have a girls softball team for your age group?? i absolutly love softball but my girls asa (traveling softball team) broke up and they don't have a little league team for us.....:( What am i supposed to do but i want to play so bad can i play boys baseball.... i would risk everything just so i could playy....but parents are kinda iffy on the subject and i don't know if they completely agree but they will come around.. =)
I think it doesnt matter if
I think it doesnt matter if girls and guys are on the same team! i think that both girls and guys have the same athletic ability and should be able to play together!! guys arent better and stronger than girls and i know its not right for guys to hit girls but they need to get over it because its a SPORT! its not like their just sitting at home one day or hanging out and all the sudden a guy friend punches a girl NO its a sport and guys need to get over it!!
Girls can kick butt too!
Hey, my names Kristin and im a sofomore at IBHS. I play on a girls and boys soccer team! Some times i can be better then the boys and school them with the ball; but then theirs other times where guys dont really care if im a girl and charge me like im nothing. Yea it hurt getting knocked over by a big guy! (Last time i heard you shouldn't hurt girls on purposs!) but, if i choose to be on a team with boys and girls im in for it! Playing soccer with the guys toughed me up and perpared me for other guys! Given me support that im a girl and im getting pushed down and them yelling on the side lines telling me get up and get em back and etc. That support HELPS! I Think boys and girls should team up together!
The very thought of this is
The very thought of this is ridiculous, girls have their own hockey leagues so why do they have to play in a guys hockey leauge. If it is proper for a guy to open up a door for a girl and put them first then they should be playing rough sports with guys like hockey for example. Also im not saying that i am in any way interested but guys are not allowed to play in a ringette league so why should girls play in a guys hockey league. Can a guy play in a girls hockey league? Doubt it! You girls think you can do anything a guy can do but its not true, you just cant match the muscle mass of a male of your age. So get over yourselves and go back to cheerleading and moping the floor!
Ok, I am 13 years old and Play Netball (I am Australian btw so u may not know what this is) which is pretty much a girls sport EXCEPT some boys play to. I also am a State Champion in SHOT PUT and High Jump, and I am interested in playing Football (AFL footy which is more rough that American Football, there is NO protective gear at all and it is a CONTACT sport). At my primary school all the boys HATED racing me coz I was faster than all of them. Yes it's a fact that boys are stronger and faster naturally BUT that doesn't give you the right to tell us to go back to MOPPING THE FLOORS. Also I find Cheerleading REALLY cheesy. So get a life and find something better to do than being a sexist pig.
Whoa Whoa Whoa There Mr
Alright, you must have hit your head really hard.
Now, when I have any of my guy friends that think they are so stuff walk up to my dad, they get scared. He's this HUGE guy, broad shoulders, 6 feet, 5 inches, he's this scary, tough guy. He's done karate, and could easily break your neck. Thats my dad.
We have a thing for wrestling, and even though I'm his little baby girl, (14 years old), he doesn't go easy on me. But what's funny, he's gotten scared of me, I've beaten HIM to the ground. I've gotten in fights before. Now, when your 12 years old, and you beat down a 14 year old boy, what do you say to that? Girls can do just about the same things girls can do, so how about YOU grab the frickin mob and put on a short skirt.
"Go back to cheer leading and mopping the floor!" WTF do you think you are? Sexist!
I understand that some girls are not as strong as guys, but I am stronger than all of the boys in my class. You look at them and they look pretty strong, but when I go against them in PE, I am able to beat their asses. They see us as equals and therefore are very rough in PE, so it just shows me that I am stronger. No I am not as small as most girls because we do weight training, but it is pretty funny when a 15 year old girl is able to beat a 16 year old boy at military push-ups.
1. I hate cheer leading (no offense, hockey and lacrosse are more my thing.) and 2. what? do you think mopping is our job? Sexist. Stop Judging, LOSER!
Girls Water Polo
Girls can play water polo just as good as guys. We can tread water better and swim faster than a guy.
Even in high school how is it fair that girls can play with guys and guys can play with girls? If girls were equal, then they wouldn't play on an 8-inch lower net in volleyball. I played volleyball and soccer through high school, but the simple fact is that women and men are not physically created equal. I'm sorry, but if I hit on a girls net I would seriously hurt every girl on the high school volleyball team. Even in soccer, we would scrimmage the girls varsity team and beat them five on eleven. Sure, there are some girls that are some nasty girls players out there that can hang with the guys of their respectable sport, depending on how good the guy's team is of that same sport, but if you are saying that men and women are equal then sure I'll go play with the girls volleyball team in my division 1 college now and be the best hitter in the country.
I understand that girls CAN be equal to guys at sports in HIGH SCHOOL. But in the pros, they cannot come close.
I also don't get that all these girls are arguing that girls are just as good at sports and should be allowed to play guys sports, but why, then, can guys not play with the girls?
If you say that it's unfair to the girls on the team then you are contradicting yourself 100%. Think about it, girls on a guy team is fair, but guys on a girl team isn't? Why not? BECAUSE GUYS ARE MORE ATHLETIC!
I am not saying that some girls aren't as athletic as guys, but MOST aren't.
Girls who excell at their own sports shouldn't go to the guy leagues, they should find a higher level of competition, and play there.
Females in male domated sports
hi i am 13 years old and i was reading a lot on why it is not fair that some people...mostly the men and boys think that us girls should not belong on the boys team. I used to play boys hockey until i got turned from it comletly because my coach didn't think that girls could really play hockey as well as the boys.And his son was the same way.There were a couple of players on the team that thought that i wasn't good enough for their team and a couple of player made a decision that they wouldn't pass me the puck at all so I hardly ever got the puck as much as i had hoped. So a couple of years later i decided that I had enough and switched to girls league.I've been playing there in St.Johns for just over three years now and i am having a lot more fun cause even though i know that guys and girls should be labeled as "equal"..we have to face it cause we aren't. And when i play with girls team I don't feel like quitting because i'm gettting put down.I feel like striving to do better cause everyone is cheerring me on. And THAT is what hockey is all aboout."GIRLS RULE"
ya i totally agree with you.
ya i totally agree with you. my teammates don't really have any problems with me on the team...but some of the coaches do. they woudn't say it to my face, but u just know who duz and duznt want you there. the same thing happened to me in 7th grade they basically forced me to play on the girls team and it was fun but now i'm back on a boys team. next year tho, is high school...and i wouldn't make the boys jv team so i have to play on the girls high school team.

Politics Honours 2
|Course code POLI4002
|Units 20
|Level 4000
|Faculty of Business and LawNewcastle Business School
POLI4002 must be studied in conjunction with POLI4001; POLI4003; and POLI4004 and together constitute the full Honours program in Politics. The Politics Honours program is the culmination of undergraduate teaching in the discipline of Politics. It enables students who have distinguished themselves in Politics at the undergraduate level to continue advanced studies in politics and political analysis. As such it forms an introduction to the world of international scholarship and research. The principal teaching style will be through seminar studies and thesis supervision.
Available in 2015
|Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to demonstrate:
1. the scholarly skills necessary for the conceptualisation, design, research and presentation of a substantive piece of political analysis;
2. a detailed knowledge of materials and sources and a contextualised understanding of advanced political analysis;
3. the research and reasoning skills necessary for advanced work in the humanities and social sciences;
4. written and oral communication skills appropriate for a professional scholarly environment;
5. ability to write a research essay at honours level.
|The Honours program in Politics consists of two inter-related elements, coursework and thesis, which are designed to provide the student the opportunity to explore in greater depth interests developed during their undergraduate degree. The coursework component is provided jointly by POLI4001 and POLI 4002, both of which provide analysis of two advanced specialist topics in political science. These topics, which may vary from year to year depending on staff availability and student demand, will give students the opportunities to engage with the most recent research debates in the respective sub-fields of political science. As part of the specialist topic in POLI4002 (and POLI4001) students will undertake up to five weeks of research methodology to be followed by up to seven weeks of topic specific study. POLI4002 will contribute 25% towards the total Honours mark.

Cornish pilot gigs are exceptional open water rowing boats, made to venture out in big seas and traditionally used as life/rescue boats, to deliver pilots to incoming sailing vessels and to smuggle between the Cornish coast and France. Two 32' gigs were built at Five Corners and Gannon & Benjamin Boatyard between 2004-2006. Each gig is lapstrake planked with white cedar on oak ribs, using over 1500 copper rivets and additional bronze screws, with an angelique keel, stem and sternpost. Nearly 50 men, women and youth volunteered to work weekends under the direction of Nat Benjamin, Ross Gannon and Myles Thurlow, to loft build, plank and finish Grace and Cassie.

10. Globe.
Nothing says "pursuit of knowledge" like a world globe, particularly a floor model, and the larger, the better (however, globes larger than 16" in diameter are prohibitively expensive – I believe that there is an anti-competitive cartel of sorts in the globe manufacturing industry, due to the fact that every web retailer sells their globes for the same price – and I wonder if Replogle and Cram are now owned by the same parent company).
11. Book stand.
Book stands can be very attractive, especially antique ones made of ornately carved wood or metals such as brass. They're a great way to hold an often-used reference book such as a large dictionary, or an especially beautiful volume that you wish to display.
12. Bookends. Unless your shelves are already completely filled to capacity (a depressing situation that is all too common), some sort of objects to hold books in an upright position will be needed (allowing books to slant can eventually damage the books and lead to book spines being permanently "cocked" to one side). Books can be held upright by the following types of objects:
a) Proper bookends.
Bookends usually come in pairs, although pairs are not absolutely necessary. I personally never use more than one bookend per shelf because the side of the bookcase holds up one side of the row of books. Bookends can come in many shapes, often depicting objects or persons of interest. They can be very beautiful objects and are collected by serious collectors. The pair above was made around 1915 and will likely sell for at least $1500 on Ebay.
b) Other objects used as bookends.
Other objects of the right size and shape can be used to hold books upright, even if they are not proper bookends. I like to match objects with the subject of the books upon those shelves: for instance, using a small bust of a president on a shelf of American history books, a statue of an Egyptian cat or a small stone obelisk among books about Ancient Egypt, a large fossil or shell among natural history books, etc.
In the photo above, these are my shelves of books about ancient Greek history, so I have put a number of items related to ancient Greek art and architecture among the books. These include a bust of Athena among the Greek mythology books on the highest shelf; a statue of Zeus/Poseidon and a miniature fragment of columns among the Greek architecture books; a stylized Spartan helmet from the movie "300" and some replica pottery among the Greek biographies; a small bust of Homer holding up various translations and retellings of his stories. Also, note the horse head bookend on the bottom left holding up books about ancient Troy. As long as the objects are heavy enough to keep books from toppling over, and at least as wide in the middle as at the bottom (to prevent book slant), they should work quite well as bookends, and add visual interest to your bookshelves as well.
c) Horizontal stacks of books.
Horizontal stacks of books can be used to hold up vertically-arranged books, as in this beautiful photo from a blog entry about arranging books). This works especially well when you have a number of oversized books that are too tall to shelve vertically. Stack them horizontally in order of size from largest on the bottom to smallest on top, and align them on one side so as to provide a straight vertical edge to prop up the vertically-arranged books.
The above photo is also a good demonstration of the next library element:
13. Collected objects including photographs, small framed paintings, statuary collected on holidays and other personal items that you find beautiful. Objects can be placed on tables, propped up on bookshelves or hung directly on the fronts of bookcases (in the case of small framed pictures), or used as bookends as mentioned above.
14. Classical busts.
The great age of private library construction (before the current one, that is) was, in my opinion, from about 1770 to 1920 in the English country houses, and this period was also marked by the great fascination with the rediscovered antiquities of ancient Greece and Rome. In fact, many of the country houses during this period were decorated in a neo-classical style and often contained plaster or marble busts of classical personages. Thus busts are totally in keeping with the picture most people have in mind of a traditional library. The photo above, of musician Sting's house, has busts of classical musicians, another very traditional subject of busts.
15. Dehumidifier.
Dehumidifiers aren't nearly as cool as most of the other items on this list, but books don't like damp environments and will become moldy or covered with mildew if subjected to humid conditions. If your library is in a humid part of the country or below grade (something I strongly advise against – books do not belong in basements), you must have a dehumidifier to discourage mold from making your books smell bad after a short time, causing allergic attacks among household inhabitants and guests, and rendering your collection worthless.
In a basement, mold will probably still grow on your books despite your efforts, so please do not store your books below grade unless you have absolutely no alternative (such as you live in a basement apartment, in which case you should move as soon as possible and wait to have a library until you do), and even then, regard your books as temporary possessions that you will need to replace in a few years.
16. An element of humor.
In a room as serious as a library, which is devoted to the acquisition of knowledge and contains many heavy books, it's often nice to have some humorous item to lighten your mood and show visitors that things really aren't too serious. A prominently placed ridiculous tschochky, perhaps used as a bookend; a photo of you or someone you know looking absolutely goofy; a cowboy hat perched atop a classical bust (such as the Stetson in the photo of this Harvard professor's library, above and here).

NEW YORK (AP) -- Evidence of steady but modest growth is putting traders in a buying mood on Wall Street, figuring the economy is not yet strong enough that the Federal Reserve will starting easing off it stimulus program soon. The Dow gained 65 points yesterday, closing at 15,083. The S&P 500 added nearly 9 points, while the Nasdaq rose 31 in light trading. Wall Street looks to gain ground at this morning's opening, based on futures trading results.
BANGKOK (AP) -- Asian stock markets were mostly higher today as speculation that lukewarm U.S. economic indicators would keep the Federal Reserve from ending its stimulus program early offset pessimism about China's economy. Major European markets were slightly lower in early trading. Benchmark crude oil rose above $98 a barrel. The dollar gained against the yen and the euro.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Reports on May factory orders and June auto sales are expected today. Last month, the Commerce Department reported a modest 1 percent rise in factory orders. Automakers had a particularly strong month for U.S. sales.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- As of now, the interest rate on certain student loans has doubled. And the subsidized Stafford loans could stay at 6.8 percent unless Congress keeps its promise to restore lower rates when it returns from the Fourth of July holiday. Supporters want to roll back the rate before college students start signing loan documents this fall.
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) -- Doctors Without Borders says patents are keeping newer, more effective AIDS drugs out of reach in developing countries because they cost up to 15 times more. The medical aid group is urging the U.S. and 11 other countries not to sign a Trans-Pacific Partnership they are negotiating. The group says the pact will risk access to medicines.

UK's largest consumer magazine publisher controls spend and
improves visibility of the cost pipeline with PROACTIS.
With a worldwide publishing empire comprising 282 magazines in
15 countries with 6,600 employees worldwide and annual turnover of
€1.79bn, The Bauer Publishing Group is the number one consumer
magazine publisher in the UK.
Bauer's UK operation has a multi-million pound spend, which
accounts for the purchase of creative content (such as stories and
images), as well as high value services such as printing, marketing
and distribution.
Driven by tight operating margins, demanding weekly schedules
and an increasingly competitive market, Bauer embarked on a
comprehensive spend control programme with the goal of instilling
tight controls across all non-payroll expenditure.
This initiative started with a major systems review, led by the
company's Finance Director, Max Beddard: "Bauer already had a
market-leading financial accounting system, which enabled us to
manage and report on the accounts very well. What was missing
however was any ability to influence the company's costs before
they were committed and we had become reliant on an inefficient
paper-based process to manage supplier costs."
Why PROACTIS?
Bauer's systems review quickly identified the need for a
solution to streamline the company's purchasing processes. The goal
was not only to take control of expenditure, but also to improve
visibility of the company's cost pipeline and exploit new cost
reduction opportunities.
But for Bauer, the requirements for such a system were not
straightforward. "Conventional purchasing solutions did not fit
the way we operated, as we needed something that would give us
centralised control but with distributed use. We also needed
something that could be readily adopted by staff largely made up of
artists, journalists and photographers, not employed for their
administrative skills," explains Beddard.
The PROACTIS purchasing solution was quickly identified as a
serious contender by Max Beddard and his team. Max recalls:
"PROACTIS stood out because it was flexible enough to be able
to handle our diverse processes using out-of-the-box software.
Moreover it was the only solution capable of integrating tightly
with our financial accounting system - to share supplier details,
budget data, invoice information, etc. - without the need for
complex development work."
Beddard continues: "The PROACTIS purchasing solution has
great functionality and a technical environment that gives us much
needed workflow for approving spend. This, when combined with
PROACTIS' impressive approach to implementation and their clear
understanding of our business needs, made the choice
PROACTIS is currently being used by 400 members of staff and the
company continues to add new PROACTIS modules to derive further
benefits, including the introduction of a document scanning tool
for streamlining invoice management and the implementation of the
employee expenses module.
The results of the project have been clear to the team at Bauer,
as Max Beddard summarises: "The system offers us complete
transparency of information, affording budget holders a real-time
view of actual and committed spend to date. Administrative time has
been dramatically reduced which means the system has been welcomed
by the user community, and perhaps the biggest win has been our
ability to eliminate the ghastly trail of unauthorised invoices
that previously existed, with complete confidence that our spend is
under control."
Since expanding its portfolio further by acquiring Emap's Radio
and Consumer Magazine divisions, The Bauer Publishing Group, is
currently rolling-out PROACTIS to a further 1,000 users.

INDIANAPOLIS – The unhappy murmurs and occasional angry booing were back for the Pacers. The ragged offense and porous defense. The staggering rebound deficit – this is no misprint: 62-23 – that suggested simply being outfought. Or worse than that, outwilled.
The bad news on the home scoreboard had returned, with its message of missed opportunity.
Pacers center Roy Hibbert was back to being dominated, outscored 31-4 by Washington counterpart Marcin Gortat and outrebounded 16-2.
And the questions. The same familiar, inexplicable questions.
What gets into this team? And why? The Pacers are so good and so impressive. Except when they're not.
We didn't show up tonight, Pacers forward David West said after Tuesday night's 102-79 meltdown to Washington in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Not show up? With a chance to close out a series? How can that be?
I don't know if we thought we were just going to come in here and these guys would roll over, West said. I just don't know where we were tonight.
The Pacers are a team that defies consistent description. Write them off as doomed, and they survive.
But expect them to win, to clinch, to move on, and they produce a dud.
Tuesday night, for instance. The egg they laid would have made the world's biggest omelet.
It was all right there. The chance to advance and start talking about the Miami Heat. What could be left of the Wizards, anyway, after two defeats at home?
They had a greater will. They played desperation basketball, Paul George said. And we played like it was going to be easy.
But this postseason is not going to be easy for the Pacers. Not with a team that does not go forward so much as it sways. First one direction, then the other.
So the Wizards cut the Indiana series lead to 3-2. Gortat, who had six points combined in the past two games in Washington, made 13 of 15 shots. The rebounding margin was so astonishing, Wizards coach Randy Wittman tried to recall ever seeing such a thing before, going back to his Indiana University and Ben Davis High School days.
I'd probably have to answer, no I haven't, he said.
And now the matter goes back to Washington for Game 6. Dare you to predict with any confidence what happens next?
It's one loss, whether you lose by 20-something or your lose by one point, Pacers coach Frank Vogel said.
The Pacers will now get nationally re-ripped, but they're used to the noise. Maybe they finish the Wizards in Washington on Thursday, or back here in Game 7, a la Atlanta.
But they have lost any chance for rest before the Miami series – if there is a Miami series – and they have opened themselves to new charges. How can a team get manhandled like this, at home, with a chance to clinch, and be truly ready for prime time?
I don't have an answer for that, West said. We've got to be able to handle these moments.
Here is an telling number from Tuesday: 32-11. That was the rebound margin in the first half. Gortat, turning into Bill Russell, had a double-double by halftime and owned as many rebounds as the entire Indiana team.
What does that say about the Pacers' purpose, on what could have been a night of passage?
What does it say that they lost only six times in 41 regular season home games but are 3-4 in the postseason? What does it say that on this night of opportunity, the starting lineup was outscored by Washington's starters 90-48?
We've got to come to the fight, West said. If we want this series, we're going to have to take it.
But who is this team, really? When the Pacers put away Atlanta and went up 3-1 on Washington, we thought we had some answers. There are no answers. Just today's best guess, which may be totally different tomorrow.

My New Year's ResolutionJanuary 19, 2012
How are you doing with your New Year's resolutions? Doing okay? Broken any yet? Or, didn't you make any?
I've only made one so far and we'll see how I do as the year goes on.
My resolution is to be more compassionate: not only to witness to people about salvation and spiritual growth, but also to work harder at helping those in need, as we are so often commanded to do in Scripture. Both go hand in hand.
Showing compassion can take many forms. It can include helping our neighbor across the street, a person in our church, and being a hand extended toward the needy around the world by supporting one or more compassion ministries.
I'm glad AG World Missions puts an emphasis on compassion. Their four-point missions strategy includes evangelizing, planting indigenous churches and training believers. The last one states: "The showing of compassion for suffering people in a manner representing the love of Jesus Christ."
Missionaries have discovered that meeting people's physical needs often opens doors for the preaching of the gospel.
AG World Missions is involved in several compassion ministries, including orphanages, schools, feeding programs, medical and dental ministries, well-digging programs and many more.
Isaiah 58:10 assures us: "If you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.
Read the whole chapter to get a better idea of God's heart toward the needy, how He wants us to respond — and the blessings we will receive when we do.
Click here to read an article we recently posted on this AGWM website that illustrates a need and how people are responding with godly compassion.

Q:I have a Pyranha Burn S. Cockpits in Burns run XL.The specifications in the mesh cover say up to 36". Is there wiggle room there? My cockpit is 36.75" and I don't won't to struggle putting the cover on.Asked on 12/2/2013 by Kelly from Asheville, NC
3 answers
A:Kelly, another customer answered that this cover fits a Seals 1.7 size cockpit and Seals says the Burn is a 1.7 size. We have an excellent and free returns system, so it's certainly worth a try.Answered on 12/3/2013 by Clyde from NRS
A:So, I just went out and measured my cockpit. It's 34.5" x 19" and the cover
goes on really easy. I then tried to stretch the mesh cover to see how much
more length I could get out of it. Surprisingly, it only went to about 36".
I can't say for sure that it would fit to 36.75", but 3/4ths of an inch
isn't much . the elastic rim might barely make it. At the back end of the
cover, the elastic cord is knotted with about 2" of "extra" cord hanging
out. If I needed just a tad more room, I might be able to untie the knot
and re-tie it to try to gain that leftover 2". However, I wouldn't be
comfortable telling you to go ahead and buy it - because I don't know,
offhand, what NRS' returns policy is like. If you know you can return it
easily, it might be worth ordering it. It's a nice cover. Made well and
does exactly what I wanted it to do. Sorry I couldn't provide a definitive

Q:I have an old town Egrit 15 foot kayak that i am storing outside
i need your best recommendations for a complete kayak cover and a cockpit cover.
DanAsked on 8/14/2013 by Van from Milwaukee
4 answers
A:Our kayaks (1 fiberglass, 1 kevlar) are stored in slings above our cars in
the garage. We use the mesh cockpit cover to allow air circulation in the
kayak and keep bugs out. When we were newbies at kayaking, we made the
mistake of storing them with solid vinyl cockpit covers. After scrubbing
out the mildew that developed all over the inside of the kayaks, we switched
to the mesh covers. No problem since. We use the solid covers for
transporting the kayaks on the road.
The dealer we purchased our kayaks from was not in favor of storing kayaks
outside. He said it's too easy for the kayaks to get water inside and then
freeze - and that can cause significant damage. It's also easy for them to
be damaged by falling branches, etc. If you must store them outside, he said
to build a rack to store them upside down and tie them to the rack in that
position so they don't accidentally move and let water inside.Answered on 8/14/2013 by Anonymous
A:Not sure if it will fit that particular kayak but, for reference it fits on my Pygmy Coho and Pyrnah H3-255 easily.Answered on 8/14/2013 by Anonymous
A:Van, the Danuu Buddy Cover, Item # 50069.01, will fit your kayak. The Egret is a discontinued model and I am unable to find cockpit dimensions. I did find a picture of the boat in a Craigslist post. The smaller size of the Super Stretch Cover, Item # 52505.01, will fit it. For recommendations on other covers call us, 800.635.5202, with the width and length dimensions of the cockpit outer rim.Answered on 8/14/2013 by Clyde from NRS

Q:I have a Swift Saranac 15' with 33 x 17.5 cockpit. which is slightly less than the spec for the Large size. Would this cover be too loose for my kayak (which will hang upside down in storage)?Asked on 5/29/2013 by Phil
4 answers
A:My Swift has a 33 x 18.75 cockpit. The cover fits fine and I have to tug
the thing to get it off. The difference between yours and mine isn't so
much as to make for a "loose" fit. I use this only for storage (upside
down) because the inside of the boat can breathe and discourage mildew. It
also does a great job of keeping insects out. For transport on top of the
car, I use a closed cover to improve aerodynamics and keep road dust and
dirt out of the boat. Once I get home, I rinse out the boat, drain it and
put the mesh cover on before I hang it.Answered on 5/29/2013 by Anonymous
A:It will fit. You can tighten the elastic at the bottom if it seems too
loose.Answered on 5/31/2013 by Anonymous
A:Hello , The NRS zippered mesh cockpit cover should fit the cockpit of your kayak
just fine. I have a whitewater boat with the same cockpit size and the cover is a
good fit , also the material that fits around the combing is soft and sticks well to
the combing.Answered on 5/30/2013 by Anonymous
A:If I remember correctly, the cover fit with a little extra room (read not too tight) on my dagger mamba 8.5 whitewater kayak. I can't verify that, though, because someone swiped it. It worked well. I was able to cram all of my paddling clothes, pfd, helmet, drysuit, and skirt into it without worrying about stuff falling out and when it was on top of my car things could even dry out a little.

A:Sorry but I have no idea what is a Elie 120 Strait is. I would recommend
you measure the overall length and width, across the cockpit combing, on
your boat. Then call NRS customer service. They're usually pretty good
about answering questions like that if you have enough information.
A:The Zippered Cover is sized to fit cockpits 18"-20"W x 34"-36"L. Elie says the Strait 120's is 18" x 34.5". May be snug, but should fit. You can return it if it doesn't.Answered on 11/3/2012 by Clyde from NRS

I bought this for a Pyranha Fusion kayak for use during storage of the boat in the garage. It will let the interior of the kayak dry out while keeping the critters out. There is soft neoprene encasing the shock cord around the perimeter. The cover seems well ventilated, but I would have liked a closer mesh material. The zipper allows easy access without removing the cover.

The sight of a dog lunging forward before being yanked back by a tethered collar could soon lead to a citation for the dog's owner in East Baton Rouge Parish.
Metro Councilman John Delgado tells The Advocate he's preparing an anti-tethering ordinance because he considers the practice cruel.
Current parish ordinance allows dogs to be tethered where adequate daily socialization and exercise are allowed.
Delgado opted against proposing an outright ban on the practice, allowing people to tether dogs for a short period up to a one-hour time limit.
According to a draft copy of the proposed ordinance, dog owners could be cited if a dog is left tethered and unattended for an hour or more.
