WEST CHESTER West Chester University celebrated the grand opening of its new student recreation center Tuesday afternoon, praising a collaboration of students and the university that will provide opportunities for generations of students to improve their health and wellbeing.
As one student commented, it doesnt get any better than this, said Matthew Bricketto, university vicepresident for student affairs, to the more than a hundred students, alumni and university administrators in attendance.
At 72,575 square feet, the facilitys fitness center is four times larger than the universitys previous fitness facility. Building designs were completed by Moody Nolan Architects Inc. of Ohio and the Spiezle Group in Media.
At the corner of North Campus Drive and South New Street, the facility includes a three-court gym, racquetball courts and an elevated, three-lane, mile-long track. Of the many amenities the facility boasts, the main attraction is a three-story climbing wall.
The new facility also includes spinning rooms, meditation areas, social lounges and a hydration station with a refreshment area containing a juice bar and where a glass and a green wall creates indoor and outdoor terraces.
Guests at Tuesdays ceremony gathered inside the facility for a ribbon-cutting ceremony followed by a reception and tours of the building.
Even though we have some soggy weather, Im sure everyone would agree that our enthusiasm cannot be dampened, said Mark Mixner, vice president for administration and finance.
According to university administration, after the facility opened with classes in August, about 2,000 students a day on average have used it.
I cannot be more excited to stand here today on behalf of the West Chester student body, said Michelle Strausbaugh, president of the university student government association. Students have played a vital and active role in this facility.
Brad Horstmann, a member of the recreation center committee, echoed Strausbaugh as he took a quote from Abraham Lincoln and called the facility of the students, by the students and for the students.
According to the university, the project was funded by student fees and students have been directly involved in the planning process throughout the years.
Included in the facility are two green roofs that cover part of the building while much of the interior, including the track, carpet and part of the gym floors, is made of recycled materials.
In keeping with the universitys commitment to sustainability, the new recreational center is tied into the geothermal system, which eventually will heat and cool most of the universitys residence life and academic buildings.
This facility was designed and constructed with sustainability in mind, Mixner said. Sustainability is foremost in our minds for all of the facilities.

In many sports a particular tactical conundrum arises. The team captain has to choose the best order in which to use a group of players or set-plays in the face of unknown counter choices by the opposition. Do you want to field the strongest players first to raise morale or play them last to produce a late run for victory? John D. Barrow shows that randomness holds the answer. |
Two lines in a plane always intersect in a single point ... unless the lines are parallel. This annoying exception is constantly inserting itself into otherwise simple mathematical statements. Burkard Polster and Marty Ross explain how to get around the problem.
Comparing and communicating small lethal risks is a tricky business, yet this is what many of us are faced with in our daily lives. One way of measuring these risks is to use a quantity called the micromort. David Spiegelhalter and Mike Pearson investigate.
The human genome is represented by a sequence of 3 billion As, Cs, Gs, and Ts. With such large numbers, sequencing the entire genome of a complex organism isn't just a challenge in biochemistry. It's a logistical nightmare, which can only be solved with clever algorithms. |
"It's a match!" cries the CSI. At first glance it might seem that if the police have matched a suspect's DNA to evidence from the crime scene, then the case is closed. But some statistical thinking is required to understand exactly what a match is, and importantly, how juries should assess this as part of the evidence in a trial. |
Fractals are a treat for your eyes, but what about your ears? Dmitry Kormann, a composer/keyboardist from São Paulo, Brazil, explains how he integrates fractal-like patterns in the very structure of his music, to obtain beautiful results. |

Ruggiero to Oppose Burns for Top Cop Slot
Charles Ruggiero, Jr. will oppose Sheriff John Burns.
The announcement has not been made, but Mr. Ruggiero's name was included in a list of candidates to appear at a May 19 fundraiser for the GOP County Committee. Pays to read the mail some days.
39 comments:
Ruggiero is very sharp and a great team builder. Look forward to hearing from him.
- April 30, 2010 at 11:58 AM
federal huh. being associated with the criminal federal government, in my opinion, is not good. I wonder if he is originally from the north country? Also, he is retired, he should enjoy his retirement. How about someone with no experience instead?
- April 30, 2010 at 12:40 PM
12:40 That really makes me feel safe?!
- April 30, 2010 at 2:01 PM
I know Chuck, and he's not just some retired cop. He was a police chief with more employees than Burns has. He also does a lot in the community. What does Burns do in his spare time...Fort Pearl?
- April 30, 2010 at 2:17 PM
Sheriff Burns and his spare time is of no concern to anyone but him. He has had an outstanding law enforcement career. The thing that you should be asking is why does this other gentleman still want to work.. He is a retired federal police officer huh. Pension and all. Police chief huh. Pension and all huh.. Now he wants county pension huh.. I dont know him at all nor do I want to. I will vote for Sheriff Burns as long as he keeps the good work up.. Again.. GOP is desperate in teh North Country isnt it..
- April 30, 2010 at 2:43 PM
I know Chuck, and he is an honest person, which is rare in these days. He`s very community-oriented, and he and his wife are members of the Smithville Fire Dept., and help them out a lot, besides both being in many community organizations. He is very qualified for the job, and would do a great job. Read his qualifications.
- April 30, 2010 at 3:24 PM
Let's go Burns!!!!!
- April 30, 2010 at 3:37 PM
2:43 Well I am sure Sheriff Burns would love to debate him so that questions can be asked and we can all hear for ourselves from the candidate. Maybe the Mayor could MC the event.
- April 30, 2010 at 4:15 PM
2:43 You can't run for political office and hold a job like he did.
- April 30, 2010 at 4:17 PM
People shouldn't be so quick to judge Chuck. He is honest, hardworking and has done great things as a Police Chief. We need him.
- April 30, 2010 at 4:26 PM
Anonymous sounds and reads like a typical Don't know nothing that has nothing better than to kepp spewing the same kind of rhetoric that is rampant in the North CVountry. Before opening your mouth take time to research the issue.
- April 30, 2010 at 4:29 PM
Chuck is a personal friend and VERY honest. We are also personal friends of John's. No matter who wins, you will be in good hands!!
- April 30, 2010 at 4:44 PM
- Poly Information said...
Sounds like friends of Sheriff Burns are a little nervous. Condemning Mr. Ruggiero because he is retired, ex-federal employee, and the ignorance of anom 2:43 just don't like him sounds like discrimination to me.
Then again maybe the Northern Dems are picking up the habits of the City Dems. Hopefully, Senator Parker does not bring his people, lol. It is politics and if he decides to run, we have an election.
I do not personally know Mr. Ruggiero but his reputation precedes him. Not to say Mr. Burns has not done an outstanding job for us. This election should be based on Sherriff Burns' accomplishments not by belittling his opponent. - April 30, 2010 at 4:51 PM

It is amazing how many, not all, but how many blast retired military and/or Federal employees around this area.
One Q: Where would we have been without them?
Psst, your bias is showing big time. - April 30, 2010 at 5:24 PM
Chuck is a great guy. He is a great Police officer, and a great guy all around. He has always been that kinda guy that would give you the shirt off his own back. Chuck has great team leading and team building skills. I have never had to deal with sheriff Burns, but he appears to be very stand offish. Chuck has great people skills and the know how to lead this county in the direction that is has been needing for a long time.
- April 30, 2010 at 6:05 PM
Heh Polly.. This is 243. I can tell you are GOP by the way you read things then change them. I didnt say I didnt like him anywhere.... I do not know him nor do I want to... Plain and simple..Nothing discriminatory there is there.
- April 30, 2010 at 6:29 PM
Hey 2:43- Burns has 30 years into a job that you can retire from after 25. Why does HE want to keep working, HUH?
Idiot - April 30, 2010 at 7:26 PM
2:43 Yous didn't do your candidate any good by acting stupid. And knowing Mr Burns, I don't he would appreciate your help.
Dannie, don't take everything so personally. Again, no one was thinking about you. I have never talked to anyone who has a problem with retired federal employees. Sheeeesh.
Gomer - April 30, 2010 at 9:13 PM
What some may not know about Mr. Ruggiero besides the fact that he is still working in local law enforcement is what a great chief he was to work for. He was very fair with the rank and file and believed that the ones who performed their jobs well were the ones to get promoted and not because of who they were or who they knew. He also didn't hesitate to fire those who were inept, unethical, etc. He was well respected and many looked up to him. Many people don't know that he also has over 25 years of military service, having spent time in Vietnam. That combat service helped because he was able to teach that to us when he was in charge of training. He wanted us to be the best we could be. I know he is active with his fire dept and never hesitates to answer calls no matter what time of day or night. He is a selfless individual who has been active in the community and has lived here for over 25 years (makes him a native in my book and his wife was born and raised in Watertown and is a business owner in her own right) What people need to keep in mind is to vote for the person (regardless of party affiliation) who you think will be the most qualified, experienced, ethical and team player with all of the local law enforcement agencies. It may surprise people but I am a democrat but I am going with the person who I think will do an excellent and outstanding job for our community and that is Chief Ruggiero.
- April 30, 2010 at 9:34 PM
Ya its time for new leadership all the way around.He can take his buddie Darrell fishing.John and his deputies care about nothing but there wallets they go around busting people for doing the same things they do drinking and driving it is a major problem with the people he has working for him.Along with respect for the courts and the local judges.Exept of course the county judge and he is a part of the click.Its who you ya know around this area and whos ass you are kissing other wise they will make things up and put you into investigations you have nothing to do with to make an arrest....

These posts mean nothing. A good debate or several around the county can settle this. Let the candidates speak for themselves. Peel away all the props and let them just talk it out. Look forward to the candidates announcing the debate schedule.
- May 1, 2010 at 9:55 AM
A good debate will hurt nothing. Lets keep it focused on whats important law enforcement and law enforcement management. I see some major cuts coming here and in adjoining counties in law enforcment. Can we afford them. Will the state help out.. I have a question for anyone.. Is the Sheriffs Civil Dept mandated by law? Do you know the law.. I no the jail is mandated and the road patrol is not..It seems to me that Sheriffs Civil people are high paid process servers at best. Couldnt the road patrol serve papers?

Gomer 9:13 ... the reason you haven't heard that sort of nonsense talk about retired Federal employees or military folks is that you stay under a rock in the shadows and that keeps your brain compressed...
Hey, these kinds of posts can be fun if well aimed at Anonymous posters who hide under rocks and don't have the guts to come out in the sunlight and debate from a principled position. - May 1, 2010 at 1:10 PM
That's what I do Dannie, I stay under rocks and keep my brain compressed. Really good.
Danford. I have never heard any person say anything at any time about how they resented retired federal employees being in our community. I realize being a party line Donkey makes you sensitive to victimhood, but this has been my experience. No one hates you for being a retired federal worker. If it serves your needs to be viewed as a poor federal retiree who is viewed negatively by your fellow citizens, fine. But methinks it, like most of your political tenets, are based on stuff I just don't understand.

I have to laught at what one person said about how "all they care about is their wallets" That is very funny indeed. Have you seen a deputies paycheck. Quite pathetic if you ask me. These guys must work in that field because they life the job, not for the public assistance check they get in exchange for their duties.
- May 1, 2010 at 8:26 PM
please vote no to for another term of BURNS/SIMAO for sheriff
- May 1, 2010 at 9:25 PM
Dannie, calm down. Its the weekend.
Try to read something, eat a light dinner, talk with someone who likes you.
When someone can pull your chain this easily, the problem lies with you.
Most Marines aren't victims, Lad.

I always wondered why we had a dectective division in the Sheriff's Dept. It is true they are mandated to provide a lockup, and a civil office, I often hear we need more room at the jail, well cut back on the other parts of the budget.

Remember back a few years ago, when you had a reputation? Now you're reduced to throwing profane jibes at people on the internet you don't even know. And all I said was no one I know has a problem with federal retirees. Now Dannie, does ya seriously think the problem is me?
General Puller - May 2, 2010 at 4:32 PM
This is so pathetic. Why must a political blog be so polarized? It's as if people can't be civil any more. I met Chief Ruggiero the other day, and he gave me one of his brochures. His experience and education alone will knock Sheriff Burns out of the batter's box. I was impressed that Ruggiero actually gives out his cell phone number and invites people to call him and ask questions. I've been voting for almost 30 years and I never saw any politician do that before. I'm satisfied he's the real deal. He gets my vote.

Avoiding cyberattack
One way to avoid having your personal information stolen is to use a disposable computer set up for sensitive operations.
You have probably read about various options for high-performance computing with Linux in this month's issue. But, what do the bad guys do when they need high-performance computing? They break into other people's computers and use them. So, how can you avoid becoming part of a botnet and, more importantly, avoid having your personal information, banking details, and other sensitive information sold to someone in a foreign country?

Just Do It: East places third at NIKE Football Festival
BY Kevin Hageland, email@example.com
Saturday's NIKE Football Festival at Craig Ranch and the Michael Johnson Performance Center in McKinney was a unique event as it featured not only the typical 7-on-7 structure, but five other events.
That uniqueness drew rave reviews.
"The whole day was an absolute blast," said Jeff Fleener, Allen offensive coordinator. "The kids, parents, coaches, everybody enjoyed it."
"The kids loved it," he said. "You got a tent with your team's name on it, there were plenty of activities to keep everyone busy; it was just a heck of an event."
Making the day even more enjoyable for the Panthers was the fact they finished third overall in an event that factored in points for 7-on-7, quarterback challenge, lineman challenge, wide receiver best hands competition, SPARQ challenge (vertical jump, power ball toss, 40-yard dash and the 5x10x5) and place kicker challenge.
"We got 30 kids involved in this event," Ringo said. "I think it was especially fun for the linemen because they never get to go to these."
Among the standouts for East was Parker Hunt, who caught 35-of-38 passes during the best hands competition, which featured a JUGS machine firing footballs out at a variety of angles.
Hunt also played a part in the marquee event of the competition: 7-on-7.
Taylor McGehee and Anthony Maioriello split time at quarterback early on as presumptive starter Mario Smalls was taking the ACT test. The Panthers, who were also without leading returning wide out Collin Shaw, proved no worse for wear with the adjustment as the team picked up wins over Irving MacArthur, Melissa, Denton and Austin Westlake.
"That Westlake win was a big one," Ringo said.
East was bounced from 7-on-7 competition by DeSoto, which was the overall winner of the NIKE Football Festival, but felt good about its 4-1 run.
"I think events like this definitely serve their purpose," Ringo said. "It's fun because we know it isn't do or die, but at the same time you can definitely build up some confidence that can be carried over and pay dividends in the fall if you look at things in the proper perspective."
Panthers, Wildcats in Wylie SQT
East will have another chance to display its 7-on-7 skills Friday as the Panthers take part in the Wylie State Qualifying Tournament.
East will see a familiar foe at this event as Plano Senior gets in on the SQT circuit. The top two teams from the event will advance to the 15th annual Division I FOX Sports Southwest 7-on-7 State Championship Tournament, which is July 20-21 at Texas A&M.
This one of just two SQTs for the Panthers this summer.
"We wanted to do them both in June," Ringo said, "so the kids can still have a summer."
Plano is in Pool C alongside Wylie East (which has already qualified for state), Mesquite and Jesuit while East is set to be in Pool D with Mesquite Poteet, West Mesquite and Arlington Martin. Future district foe McKinney is also part of the 16-team field. Pool play begins at 5 p.m. Friday. The winner of each pool, assuming they haven't already qualified for state, will advance to the semifinals, which are set for 8:30 p.m. with the finals to follow at 9:20 p.m.
After missing players at the Colleyville Heritage SQT due to SAT testing and Saturday in McKinney because of the ACT, East should be complete Friday.
"We will have our full contingent in Wylie," Ringo said.
But as has been the message for the Panthers all summer, results alone won't dictate the success of the event.
"Our focus continues to be getting better as a group and not just individuals," Ringo said. "If we can do that and qualify for state, then that's just a bonus."

Well, someone must have put magical elf sprinkles in my coffee after all, because I finished the little plush creature I was making. (Just don't ask about the 137,421 loose ends on the four-color striped cardigan, ok? Especially don't ask whether or not the sleeve sections ended up being the right size when I went to piece them all together.)
But back to the creature. I went on a cute and pink overload making this (my first one ever), and you know what? I love it.

A recent survey in arts participation for the arts in America by the National Endowment for the Arts (Arts Participation 2008. Highlights from a National Survey. http://arts.endow.gov/news/-news09/SPPA-highlights.htm) produced some alarming findings: Since 1982, young adult (18 – 24) attendance rates have declined significantly for jazz, classical music, opera, ballet and non- musical plays.
The crucial question is, will this problem be replicated in the UK along the lines that events in the USA are eventually mirrored in the UK (for example sub-prime mortgages) – or is jazz 'holding its own' in the UK?

NEW YORK (AP) — A key witness against former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, known in court papers as Victim 1, has a book deal and will soon reveal his identity, a publisher announced Thursday.
Ballantine Bantam Dell said that "Silent No More: Victim (hash)1's Fight for Justice Against Jerry Sandusky," is coming out Oct. 23. The memoir will be co-written by the victim's mother and psychologist and "will share how he survived years of shame and secrecy, harassment and accusation, before reporting Sandusky's actions to the authorities, and will offer a hopeful and inspiring message for victims of abuse," Ballantine announced.
Victim 1, now 18, will reveal his identity on the day of the book's release in an interview with ABC's Chris Cuomo.
Financial terms for the book were not disclosed. But Ballantine, an imprint of Random House Inc., plans a donation to a charity for victims of child abuse.
Sandusky allegedly fondled Victim 1 and performed oral sex on him multiple times. Victim 1 first alerted authorities in 2008 and helped launch the investigation leading to Sandusky's conviction in June on 45 counts of child sexual abuse. Prosecutors said some of the assaults took place on the Penn State campus.
Sandusky is scheduled to be sentenced next month and is likely to receive a sentence that will keep him in prison for life.

FACT: Only the female mosquitoes feed on blood, male mosquitoes feed on plant nectar and juices.
Some species only feed on the blood of amphibians (frogs). Mosquitoes have been observed feeding on other insects, even other mosquitoes.
Male and female mosquitoes in the genus Toxorhynchites feed on plant nectar.
The minute mosquitoes in the genus Malaya wait for ants then thrust their proboscis between the mandibles (jaws) of the ant. The ant then feeds the mosquito.

Appeal For Programme Notes, New diploma help website |

Hi all,
AP and I are setting up a website to host resources that should be helpful for potential diploma candidates. It will help both to collect together the experiences of those here who have sat diplomas, and to serve as an 'FAQ' to save us having to write the same answers to the same questions all the time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif). The address of the site is: http://www.forumrecordings.co.uk/diplomas/ On the site, we are hoping to collect together programme notes to help other people get an idea of what might be expected. Currently, we have mine - obviously - but would be most grateful for any others that people are willing to contribute. Feel free to anonymise them first, or to instruct me to do so, if you wish. If you're happy to have them on the site, email them to me, preferably along with a brief summary of the examiners' comments on them (note - if you quote the examiners directly, I will have to summarise the comments as examiners' comments are not allowed to be published). We're not just restricting it to DipABRSM notes; anyone with LRSM, ATCL, LTCL, FTCL etc. etc. programme notes, or FRSM written submissions is welcome to submit them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). We have trawled through the past posts on the forum and extracted viva questions people have been asked, and collated these together onto a single page, along with the programmes that gave rise to those questions. If you haven't posted your questions on the forum, but have some that you can (and would like to) add, post them here or send them to me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). Any other suggestions that you have for useful resources, or content for any part of the site, will be most gratefully received; don't hesitate to comment, or criticise (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). Any pedants with spare time on their hands are welcome to look through the viva questions page, play 'spot the error', and submit corrections. AP and I have, very quickly, lightly edited them, but it's proving quite time consuming to check them all even vaguely thoroughly. The same goes for any typos or errors elsewhere on the site; we don't mind people being picky (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif). |

I'd be happy to submit some of my notes but I will wait until I have results, if that's ok, just to see what kind of comments I get on them. Not long to go! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) Obviously people will need to be made aware that they are NOT to copy other people's notes.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) Obviously people will need to be made aware that they are NOT to copy other people's notes. Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). I wrote a scary 'anti-plagiarism disclaimer' above where the programme notes are; do you think it's strong enough as it is? |

A good idea, YAP and AP. I'll be happy to contribute mine, but I first have to find which computer they're on (and if it was the Mac I'll have to type them in again, as it is now an ex-Mac), and then have to find where I've filed my mark sheet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Great idea. Thanks for setting this up. I've nothing to contribute yet (take it it's only performance diplomas?)
I notice you mention Achieving Success. I think it's good, but it seems more an example how to get a high distinction at grade 8 than pass the diploma. We see fractions of movements, many of which are grade 8 in their own right. This ignores the 'stamina' issue, the full sonata performance, etc. Also the clarinet ones, we don't see the cadenza in the Messager, the end of Weber 2, for instance. Likely others have missed out the most fiendish sections. Look forward to more info. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

take it it's only performance diplomas? Not necessarily: we've only written about the performance diplomas because they're the only ones we really know about. It seems there is less information around here about teaching diplomas so a site about those could be particularly helpful. We're happy to put anything up that people are willing to write about: if anyone has even a small amount of writing about teaching diplomas to add to any section; or even to put on a separate teaching diplomas page we're happy to put it up and to help with what we can (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). benjiminja: good luck for your results (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). |

That's OK, because I will hopefully do the teaching one this Summer. Certainly people here who could contribute - margaret, Appassionata, Garkleine, off the top of my head.

Maybe you could do a mutual link with Margaret, doesn't she have a website? Or am I misremembering... anyway, she has all 3 teaching Diplomas so it's worth asking her.

Hi Margaret here
Another Pianist I have sent you a PM about this. Yes I do have a website www.diplomasupport.pianotution.com offering professional support to candidates thinking of preparing for their teaching diplomas. I am delighted to offer help and advice to teachers thinking of embarking of the DipABRSM, LRSM or FRSM teaching diploma. |

The site said that you 're likely to fail DipABRSM with just a good pass in grade 8 and that you should be able to pass with a high distinction of grade 8...
So does anyone think that I'm doing DipABRSM a bit fast?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) |

So does anyone think that I'm doing DipABRSM a bit fast?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) It doesn't mean that you'll fail if you didn't get a good pass in grade 8 at the time you did it; it means that you'll fail if you aren't easily good enough to get a grade 8 distinction at the time you take the dipABRSM exam. What did you get in grade 8? It wasn't too long ago that you did it was it? I have voiced on many occasions my concerns about going too fast through grades: ultimatley though you and your teachers (well and the examiners) are the only people who can decide whether you're good enough to go for it. If I recall you haven't been playing for very long yet have you? Maybe you would beneifit from more experience but since no one here has heard you play we can't tell you if you're ready. |

Wow, that is quite a lot of information! And a great idea YAP, to save all those 'help with programme selection' threads! I hope this is all still up and running by the time I get to that standard (probably about 5 years time.) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Hi what about adding in the 'disclaimer' section that these pages are for reference only, and that you do not accept any liability arising from them?

I just took a look at the diploma site. I couldn't see anything about technique for pianists & this is vital for teaching knowledge. Would this info be useful or is it already there but I just didn't look properly? |

To add a little to the discussion on the upcoming weekend, we thought we would add our highly "unqualified" predictions for this weekends 2012 Crossfit Games Canada East Regional Competition.
Men's Competition
1. Zachary Hebert – Crossfit Quebec City
Zachary's 9th place finish may not immediately place him as a favorite, but a second place finish on Open workout 12.2 and his reported 255 snatch suggest he may surprise some people in event 3 and 5. A 355 Clean & Jerk should also help him blaze through the 225 pound hang cleans in event 2. His 5′ 8″ height should also give him an advantage in the Diane event as the shorter athletes seem to be killing this one so far.
2. Albert-Dominic Larouche – Crossfit Chambly
Albert-Dominic will be the fave to top the podium in Canada East with a 2nd place last year to Jason Cain (who competed in Canada West this year). Winning the Crossfit Open in 2012 (with 8th being his worst finish) suggest that we should expect nothing less than excellence from this guy.
I think the difference between 1st and second between these 2 stellar athletes is Zachary's Snatch advantage.
The Women
1. Michele Letendre – Crossfit Plateau
A strong second place shows that Michele is playing for keeps. With all eyes and expectations on Camille Leblanc-Bazinet, Michele can fly a little bit under the radar and add a little surprise to the top of the podium at Canada East.
2. Camille Leblanc-Bazinet – CrossFit Brossard
I had the good fortune of watching Camille's performance at the 2011 Canada East Regionals. She made the 100′s workout look like a warm-up. There can be no doubt she is going to California and the smart money would be on her to win the 2012 Canada East Regionals. Frankly, I just think it isn't any fun to pick the obvious winner…
The team competition has heated up in all regions with many great individual athletes choosing team. It is also the most exciting competition with more opportunity for surprise.
1. Lusine Crossfit
On paper, they seem to have the most balance between their men and women. The average finish of their men is 62 with 3 of the 4 athlete's qualifying as individuals. The women's side of the house had an average finish of 41 in the open. With their lowest finish being Mirakim Couvrette at 66th in the open, there is simply no such thing as a weak link on this team.
2. Crossfit Brossard
Crossfit Brossard won the open with the help of Camille Leblanc-Bazinet's killer scores. While she obviously will not be competing on the team, it will still be the women of Crossfit Brossard that make the difference. Three of the four women qualified for the open with a 4th, 32nd, and 45th place. They came close to squeezing in a 4th individual qualifier with a 70th place.
Whether I am right or wrong, it is going to be an amazing event this weekend. We wish all the amazing athletes competing a weekend full of PRs.

1. | Ying Yang Twins | ||
Two morons who think they can rap.
Repeatedly shouting racial slurs and otherwise offensive language, they are one of the major "Crunk" artists. However, their background samplings are often quite attractive. Of course, NEITHER of the Ying Yang Twins contribute to the selection of background music, with the combined IQ in the 15-20 range. In my opinion, I think i could find a pencil that's smarter and more creative, and I am shocked that the FCC allows them to rap about what they rap about. I think they should move on and think up new ideas before releasing another album. I am sorry if you disagree with me, for I am just giving my opinion. If you find the examples offensive, then HHHAAAAHHH!!!! Ying Yang Twins Are Idiots. Period. "Look at you Ying Yang Twins! You can't even spell your own names!"
Tyrone: Are 'Dem Franchise Boys' and the 'Ying Yang Twins' related? Ricky: Probably, they too stupid to even close a window! |

Two Black rappers out of Atlanta, Georgia. They usually rap about clubs and girls but they also have some slow songs and a couple songs about life. I personally love them, when your at a party you don't want to here some person talking about genocide, war, and abortion, you want to hear some music that gets the girls to dance, something that brings life to the party and that's exactly what the Ying Yang Twins do. They are NOT the best rappers but they ARE one of the best rap artists to make fun songs about clubbing, strippers, and just having a good time. If your offended but what they say than chances are you are a snobbish rich bitch that can't appreciate anything other than classical jazz, you are a fem-nazi that thinks that it degrades women even though women sign up to be in the videos, the songs, and buy the album. Or your just a hater that spends their time causing "Online Drama". By the way this definiton is by an Italian American in the North East so this shows that all different types of ppl like their music. Person 1: The Ying Yang twins don't rap about the war, or people dying or terrorists, they are so stupid.
Person 1: Well when your at a party who wants to hear a song about people dying or a serious situation? |

Graduated in the top 30% of their class. Both recieved recognintion for oustanding service to their communities. Also active members of Boy Scouts. (Eagle Scouts.)
Kristopher went on to attend Princeton University. He graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Adolescent Psychiatry. Charles went on to attend Harvard University, and graduated with a Bachelor's in Philosophy. He returned to Harvard for a Law Degree in the year 2000, by which time he was juggling his music with his studies. The "Ying Yang Twins" are best known for their musical "rap" achievements. Some of their greatest hits include: 1. Salt Shaker 2. Wait (The Whisper Song) 3. FEATURED in "Badd" by Micheal Jones 4. Get it Girl 5. Whistle While You Twirk 6. FEATURED in Ms. New Booty by Bubba Sparxxxx 7. Dangerous 8. Thug Walkin' 9. Take Ya Clothes Off PLUS MANY MORE!!!!! The reason they named themselves "The Ying Yang Twins" is because the Ying Yang is the world reknown symbol of peace and justice. The brothers always have exemplified these qualities since they became boy scouts. "We love to exemplify peace and justice in our lyrics." -The Banks Brothers Both twins now list their intrests as reading extensively long novels by Ernest Hemmingway. |
