Behind the scenes at 'Fashion Star'
Season 2 makeover brings new team mentality, new host, new buyers and new catwalk
By Deanna Barnert
Special to MSN TV
Jessica Simpson, John Varvatos and Nicole Richie are back for another round of "Fashion Star" and this time, the mentors are in it to win it. While the basic pattern of NBC's designer competition remains the same, there have been a few notable alterations for the sophomore season -- including a new host. MSN TV was invited to the set to find out what's in season with "Fashion Star," premiering Friday, March 8, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
Bing: 'Fashion Star' | Video: 'Fashion Star' clips and more
"It's a whole new game," executive producer Ben Silverman previewed.
To be clear, the central premise of "Fashion Star" remains the same: Each week, contenders are challenged to design clothing with a certain look, feel and function. Their goal is to get Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue or Express to buy their wares -- or even better, to create a look that inspires a bidding war. Designs that sell on the show are immediately available to the public, while contestants who don't sell anything end up on the chopping block, with one designer sent home each week. The last designer standing -- aka the "Fashion Star" -- wins the multi-million dollar prize of launching his or her original collections in all three stores.
Are you going to tune-in to "Fashion Star"? Tell us at MSN TV on Facebook and Twitter.
The rules remain the same this year, but as the "Fashion Star" fashion show began, MSN TV quickly sensed a more competitive edge than last year: Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie and John Varvatos were seriously invested. We even heard some trash talking!
"The mentors aren't just giving advice this year," Silverman explained. "They have rooting interests, starting from the first episode [when] they pick contestants to be connected with. We collaborated to align mentors with designers who carried some of their creative ethic and also matched up on a personality level."
In other words, the season of cooperation is over. This year, it's about supporting Team Simpson, Team Richie or Team Varvatos.
"You're getting the competition between Jessica, Nicole and John that didn't exist in Season one. You're also getting much more aggressive behavior between the mentors and the buyers -- and the mentors are sitting right next to the buyers now, so there's a lot more drama!" Silverman previewed. "You're going to see sides of Jessica, Nicole and John you haven't seen before. You're going to see them outside of their comfort zones."
The New Faces of "Fashion Star"
A new season always means a new crop of contestants, but "Fashion Star" took things to another level by adding other new faces.
The first fresh face we noticed was the "Fashion Star" stage, which has been redesigned to project the feel of an exclusive Fashion Week show in New York. The new catwalk is less flashy, making the designers' weekly showcases about the fashion, as opposed to the spectacle.
"Fashion Star" is also introducing a new host this season. With executive producer Elle Macpherson staying behind the scenes, fashion journalist and TV personality Louise Roe has assumed her duties. TV fans and fashionistas may recognize the Brit from the makeover show "Plain Jane," E! News' live coverage of the Royal Wedding or the shows that have called her in as a guest, judge or makeover queen. Roe has also written for Elle, Glamour, Cosmopolitan and MSN and has her own fashion lines with HLN and StylistPick.com.
"Louise Roe is such a fabulous fashionista!" Silverman raved. "She really gets fashion, but she's also sweet and incredibly empathetic. She's like a combination of Ryan Seacrest and Cat Deeley. She's very present and she relates to the contestants. This is a huge opportunity for her too, so she's inside the emotion with these people in a real, deep way."
Emotion is not what it's about for the other new face of "Fashion Star," Erika DeSalvatore. The Express buyer joins Macy's Caprice Willard and Saks Fifth Avenue's Terron E. Schaefer, who are back in the game again. H&M is no longer represented.
"Erika is an amazing upgrade," Silverman said. "She rounds out the buyers. Terron is the most exceptional buyer and a fashion genius, representing Saks so brilliantly. Caprice is a strong executive, but also of the trend that she's connected to. What's incredible about Erika is that she's a businesswoman. She's a principal at Express, so her point of view compliments Terron's and Caprice's, but also shows another side of the business, which can be even more ruthless."
It sounds like Season 2 could get cutthroat. Luckily, this new crop of designers is up for the challenge.
"The contestants are higher quality, in terms of talent," Silverman promised. "We have everything from brilliant, young FIT graduates to someone who literally quit their job at Elie Tahari to come be on the show. The level of design is so high."
Silverman credits the first season for this year's impressive turn out. There can only be one "Fashion Star," but designers who tuned in realized real business was going down. A single episode can change a career, because designs purchased by Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue and Express hit the real world immediately after the broadcast.
In other words, after the "Fashion Star" finale shoot back in November, a season's worth of hot designs went into production - while MSN TV was stuck holding this killer of a secret! Yes, we know who won. No, we will never tell. You'll just have find out the old fashioned way: Tune in, pick your favorites and see how far they make it. Oh, and maybe buy some cool clothes, along the way.
"Fashion Star" returns Friday, March 8, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
Its amazing to know that a comet is coming to earth. But do you ever think how these things were created? Some people believe the there was a so call " Big Bang Theory". I believe that God is the Grand Creator. In the bible at Genesis 1:1 is says In the beginning God created all things. So right off the bat why would someone think anything different and twist up the beliefs about creation. Now here's something to think about, people believe that there was a "Big Bang" , and this "big Bang" stared by a star exploding known as a nebula. Now scientist say the and exploding star covers at a velocity of up to 30,000 km/s MAX and that's a super nebula . In middle school I learned that outer space doesn't end . I don't think the velocity of up to 30,000 km/s covers the whole outer space and created all the galaxies and universes.

Grumble Grumble Grumble
So your saying that society and culture is the actual cause of serial killers and mass murderers... Hmmm............ A good discussion topic, but not really a debatable one...
Moving to the Plush room...
Every one wants some thing to debate about, well, here it is folks. Does a person have to sain or insain to become a serial killer? What make them kill and then kill again? Why are they alwyas harder to catch then the everyday badguy? and are they really the "monsters" people and the media make them out to be, or are we the people and individuals in society and society as a whole the ones in the wrong? This is all really one gaint subject matter so I chose not to take up wasted space and time with several blocks when it is just as easy to seperate and diverscify your answers by sentences as have I. It will be interesting to see what each individual thinks and how they precieve this question.

FAVOURITE THREADS EXPLAIN why, or risk an infraction.Rantings of a Grouchy Old Anime Otaku
I mean .... really....
A person that kills another person is either insane or emotional distraut.
-Just another green eyed angel, distorted by mans love for hate-|THE INFAMOUS CHEETOS OVERLORD||IceNineKills|
Exactly. You have to be a messed up freak to do those bad things!!Originally Posted by jaderabbit
I think that when society pushes someone over the edge, and they finally snap. You have to be angry, to take a life. Being crazy would just help.
Most of the time it isnt society's fault, its just the wacked out persons fault alone.Originally Posted by Lady Sasumi
Thats not true, lots depends on how a person life was when growning up =Originally Posted by kastelic4444
* Like how the parents raised their kid
* how the person was treated by other people
* if his family was poor or rich
* the general culture of the country he lives in
* if he had experience any trauma as a child
There are many reasons/variables which makes a person go insane. So its both the society/family and the insane person fault to the serial killing. But all of this is logical if you think about it, most of the decisions/actions we make are based on what we learn & experience through life.
Anyway, back to my answer on this threads topic =
When its a serial killer, then yes, he/she must be insane. Other times it depends on the situation, like =
* you might kill somone when you are defeanding yourself or someone else from a attacker
* you kill somone in "crime of passion"(like you find your boyfriend/girlfriend cheating, you take something hard and smash in their head)
* if you are a soldier, you might kill someone to make your contry win the war.
* when somone has totally ruin your life and/or other peoples life, you migt kill somone, a bit like crime of passion.
I don't say murder/killing is ok, just that people doesn't need to be insane to kill someone.

only irresponsible people blame their own problems on something else. i'm not saying that the environment you grow up in, and your surroundings doesn't affect you. i'm a strong believer in that. but that's no excuse to not control your own actions, to extremes like killing another person.

I had a 3rd date with this guy who is a criminal attorney. Now, one would think someone who works in this field would exude confidence, right? It should come with the job….. Plus, attending a top-tier law school and having a job that generally WILL attract women should boost self-esteem.
Not this guy.
He took me to Greenhouse Tavern, which is one of my favorites and I was optimistic that it would be a nice Friday night. I was wrong.
Halfway through a bottle of wine and a few bites into my steak this guy goes "So, I have to ask you something." I just had a feeling I wouldn't like this. He continues… "Now let me know if I'm wrong, but I have a feeling you're on the fence about us. Like you're not sure if you like me."
I choked. It's the 3rd date. This is what dating is for – to determine if you are compatible with someone. True, I am not sure if it would work with this guy. From date one, his apparent lack of confidence was the sole reason why. He's tall, cute, successful… but he's a guy I could walk all over. I don't want a guy I can walk all over because it bores me. He wasn't proving me wrong.
Although it made the remainder of the dinner rather awkward, I replied with an honest "I'm still getting to know you and trying to see if we are compatible."
Then he goes into a "Most women want to like me, but in reality they are just being nice and really don't" tirade. I kept trying to change the subject, but he kept going with his "No one wants a nice guy" spiel. It ruined dinner. I didn't know what he expected me to say, so I didn't say much. I just sat there and awkwardly nodded. Eventually, I managed to get on another topic. Yeesh.
Afterward we stopped at the bar next door for a nightcap. Once again, he began asking me if I thought I liked him or not. If I wasn't sure, why wasn't I sure…. I was highly agitated at this point. Finally I couldn't take it anymore so I responded… "Do you want to know why? You have zero confidence. I don't understand how you even perform your job with such low self-esteem." I went on to explain how I'm a very brash, animated kind of person and I need someone who can keep up with me. Lacking confidence isn't going to work. I don't want to be with a push-over.
The conversation went on for a bit longer, and then finally I became so frustrated that I bluntly told him to "Grow a pair." I didn't even care anymore – his constant need for affirmation was so unattractive.
He keeps texting me. I don't think we'll be going out again.

Alexander Skarsgard in True Blood. Photo credit: HBO
Having fully recharged from delivering Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows last year, director David Yates has chosen a re-imagining of the Tarzan series as his next project. And if he has his way, Alexander Skarsgard and Samuel L. Jackson will soon be heading to the jungle with him.
While other actors like Tom Hardy and Sons of Anarchy's Charlie Hunnam were, and possibly still are, in the running, Variety has reported that True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard is Yates' top pick to play the loin-clothed ape man originally created by Edgar Rice Burroughs in 1912.
The film's plot finds Tarzan, years after having been reconnected with Victorian society, tasked by the Queen herself to investigate the bloody dealings of a Congolese warlord. Tarzan will be joined by mercenary George Washington Williams, a US Civil War veteran who longs to redeem himself after his part in the massacre of thousands of Native Americans back home. Jackson is currently being sought to play the Williams role.
Tarzan is set to film next summer with a 2014 release.

African American Reform Ethics
In the 1890s, the growth of the black women's club movement was spurned on by efforts to end lynching. Ida B. Wells-Barnett denounced lynching in the press. As she traveled the country lecturing about lynching, she also helped to found black women's clubs. Many of these clubs addressed problems similar to those addressed by white women's clubs, including health, sanitation, education, and woman suffrage. However, black women's clubs also focused on combating racism and on racial uplift.
In 1896, black women's clubs joined together to form the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs (NACW) under the leadership of Mary Church Terrell. The motto of the NACW was "Lifting as We Climb."
One of the most effective black women's clubs was the Neighborhood Union in Atlanta, run by Lugenia Burns Hope. The Neighborhood Union divided the city into districts and zones, thus effectively reaching almost every black American in Atlanta.
Black women also founded mutual benefit societies, settlement houses, and schools. Some black female workers, particularly laundresses in the South, made efforts to unionize and undertook strikes. Black women in the North also worked to provide services for black women recently arrived from the South. The National League for the Protection of Colored Women, which later merged with other organizations to form the National Urban League, and "colored chapters" of the YWCA offered services to female migrants.
Notable black women reformers include Mary McLeod Bethune, who founded the National Council of Negro Women, the Southeastern Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, and the Bethune-Cookman Institute, Nannie Helen Burroughs, who founded the National Training School for Women and Girls in Washington, DC, and Maggie Lena Walker, the first American woman bank president, who was also head of one of the largest and most successful black mutual benefit societies.
Finally, black and white women (including Florence Kelley) were involved in the formation of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Black women performed much of the local work of the NAACP.

Put a whiteboard on your laptop with DrawTop
I love this idea. The DrawTop is a sticker that goes on top of your laptop and basically turns it into a whiteboard surface. The one, ahem, drawback that I can see is you might pretty easily wipe off any designs you happen to have on it just by sliding your laptop into the usual protective case...

This park has a nearby swim beach and boat ramp, and it is a favorite among hikers.
Sport fishing for largemouth bass, black and white crappie, channel catfish and several species of sunfish offers anglers many hours of enjoyment on the lake.
About 6,000 acres of public land in the lake area are open to hunters wishing to pursue whitetail, quail, rabbit and squirrel.
The campground includes nearly 50 newly constructed sites with 50-amp electrical pedestals, paved roads and an accessible shower and restroom building.
Families enjoy the convenience of a swim beach and playground within the facility.

Purdue coach Danny Hope has dismissed cornerback Sean Collins from the team following his arrest this weekend, reports John Taylor of PFT. The 21-year-old was charged with public intoxication, resisting arrest and battery.
Collins, who had been initially suspended, was kicked off the team Tuesday after Hope had given it more thought while understanding the serious allegations.
Collins allegedly hit a 22-year-old woman, who was treated and released at a local hospital. He was later released on a $10,000 bond.
The junior made the team as a walk-on in 2009, but had not seen significant playing time as a member on the roster. Hope said he would re-evaluate the situation if the charges change.

January Professional Activities Workshop
Wednesday, January 16, 2013
Olin-Rice Science Center
January 16, 2013
|Coffee and Pastries. Smail Gallery, in the atrium of the Olin-Rice Science Center.
SPATIAL VISUALIZATION: ADDING ANOTHER DIMENSION TO YOUR SCHOLARSHIP AND TEACHING. Joanna Inglot (Art and Art History), Ashley Nepp (Geography) and Josh Allen and Alison Sommer (Academic Information Associates). The analysis of geographic and spatial relationships can be put to good use in a variety of subject areas. From the representation of historic events on a rendered landscape, to the reimagining of a space, tools for these types of projects are plentiful and easy to utilize. Come join us as we explore how tools like Google Maps, Google Earth, and Sketchup can be used to enhance your scholarship and teaching. There will be plenty of time for discussion and experimentation with these tools.
NOT JUST A PILE OF STUFF: MANAGING DIGITAL COLLECTIONS AND SCHOLARSHIP. Johan Oberg and Chris Schommer (Library). Come and learn about how CONTENTdm and Digital Commons, two great systems available from the library, can help you manage and disseminate research. At this session, library staff will talk about their services and how they are working with faculty and staff to manage large digital collections, and permanently make digital scholarship available to a worldwide audience.
JUST ONE THING I WISH DEPARTMENT CHAIRS KNEW. Bob Graf (Employment Services), Kate Walker (Finance), Jeff Allen (Admissions), David Warch (Communications and Public Relations) In this "lightning round," staff directors take 7-10 minutes to describe "just one thing" they wish more department chairs knew or would do. After all speakers have shared their ideas, we will reflect on recurring themes and distinct points of view. Join us for this special discussion about doing the work of a department chair from the unique perspective of our administrative staff colleagues.
WHAT DOES A DIRECTOR OF WRITING DO? Dr. Carol Rutz, Director of Writing (Carleton College) and Dr. Erika Scheurer, Director of Writing (University of St. Thomas). Macalester's General Education Requirements committee recently recommended in a report on student writing that the college develop a writing program and hire a director of writing. But what, exactly, would a director of writing do? In this program, two nationally-respected writing directors help us imagine how a director of writing at Macalester might enhance our pedagogy and improve student writing performance by describing the nature of their work on their own campuses.
|Lunch. Smail Gallery.
FACILITATING CLASSROOM DISCUSSION WHENEVER AND WHEREVER. Shilad Sen and Libby Shoop (Math, Statistics, and Computer Science) and Josh Allen (Academic Information Associate). Have you ever had to cut a fantastic discussion in class short due to time, been unable to answer everyone's question on the homework, or get everyone to participate in class? Do you struggle to get your students to use forums to keep the class discussion going outside of class? Class time is precious and most of the time, there just isn't enough of it. Come join us as we explore how to engender online class discussion. We will explore how Piazza and Google Moderator have been able to help faculty and students engage with each other both in and out of the classroom.
BUILDING DIGITAL HUMANITIES PROJECTS AT MACALESTER. Rachael Huener (German and Russian Studies) and Chris Wells (Environmental Studies). In summer 2012, Wells and Huener each received "seed grants" from the Mellon Planning Grant for the Digital Humanities to design new projects that advanced their research and teaching. In this program, Wells will discuss his work on a Minnesota environmental history application for mobile computing devices and Huener will discuss the templates she created to help students fulfill multimedia writing projects in her courses.
THE NEWEST GENERATION OF RESEARCH ORGANIZATION AND PRODUCTIVITY TOOLS. Chris Wells (Environmental Studies), Brad Belbas (Academic Information Associate), and Ron Joslin (Library). Want to spend more time and energy producing scholarship and less managing information? Creating a database of bibliographic references used to require hours of tedious data entry. Fortunately, with free tools such as Zotero, now you can capture dozens of references, full-text articles, and document other types of information with a couple mouse clicks. You can also create a formatted bibliography in your discipline's publication style just as easily so you can focus on your writing.
SABBATICAL? RESEARCH PROJECT? FINDING FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES AND WRITING AN EFFECTIVE PROPOSAL. Michelle Epp and Abbey Showalter-Loch (Corporate and Foundation Relations). Seeking and securing external funds for your summer research projects or your sabbatical can be daunting. Come and learn how to identify external sources of support whether you prefer to search on your own or work with staff in Corporate and Foundation Relations to choose which funders to approach. We will also discuss strategies for writing an effective proposal once the funding source has been identified. Please be prepared to put together a one-page summary of your proposed project and discuss it with the other participants.

Writer, book reviewer, teacher…
Hallie Ephron writes suspense novels she hopes keep readers up nights.
A three-time finalist for the Mary Higgins Clark award, she made a splash with "Never Tell a Lie." In a starred review, Publishers Weekly called it "stunning" and a "deliciously creepy tale of obsession." USA Today: "You can imagine Hitchcock curling up with this one." It was adapted for film as "And Baby Will Fall" for the Lifetime Movie Network.
Hallie's newest suspense novel, "There Was an Old Woman," is set in the Bronx. it's a story of trust and betrayal, deception and madness. In it, a young woman and a very old woman connect across generations in spite of, or perhaps because, they are not related.
The book has garnered rave reviews. Washington Post book reviewer Maureen Corrigan says, "For those who love Gotham and abhor gore, 'There Was an Old Woman' is the perfect thriller lite." New York Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen calls it "an absolute must read. I devoured this in one ravenous gulp."
"There Was an Old Woman" is Hallie's third suspense novel to be honored as a finalist for the Mary Higgins Clark Award. Sarah Weinman named it one of her "Top 10″ for 2013.
Before writing suspense standlones, Hallie collaborated on five Dr. Peter Zak series mysteries with Donald Daidoff under the shraed pen name G. H. Ephron and published by St. Martin's Minotaur.
Hallie's parents were screenwriters Henry and Phoebe Ephron who wrote such classics as "Desk Set" and "Carousel." She grew up in Beverly Hills in a house filled with books, the third of four sisters (Nora, Delia, Hallie, and Amy), all competing to be heard. It was a good training ground for a writer.
Hallie lives near Boston, happily married for longer than she can remember, and has two beautiful and talented daughters. She teaches writing workshops at venues across the country. Her "Writing and Selling Your Mystery Novel: How to Knock 'Em Dead with Style" was the first how-to-write book nominated for the Edgar Award.
Hallie is also is an award-winning book reviewer for the Boston Globe.

GameCast: April 10th - Cubs at Milwaukee
Rich Harden (0-0, 0.00) vs. Braden Looper (0-0 0.00)
This would mean so much more if I actually wrote this before the start of the game. But ... in his first 09 appearance, will Harden be effective or get injured? Will Fukudome continue on his recent success or will he flat-line? And will Milton Bradley get his first hit of the season?
Who's hot
The Fonz - 2 homeruns, lots of base hits, and being spoiled at leadoff. Classic.
The Fook - After one explosive day, he was back to batting .400 on the season. Can't complain about that.
The Font - He won the starting job in Spring and so far he hasn't left anybody wondering why.
Who's not
Derrek Lee - Presently he's not even batting Neifi Perez's weight.
Milton Bradley - Well, for a guy with no hits he sure as heck has a great OBP, but still.
5 innings in, the Cubs are down 2-1 -- with their one run coming from Milton Bradley's first hit of the season, a homer. Soriano is 0 for 3, Lee is 0 for 2, and Rich Harden has thrown 5 innings and struck out 9 batters, apparently on less than 90 pitches.
So how about some late inning magic from the Cubs, eh? Eh!?!
Same Two
If you all will remember the playoffs from last season, the one to which we did not show...remember Pinella enjoying a good beer buzz while Dempter obviously did not have it in game 1? Remember Soriano's inability to get any type of inning started with his head-pulling I'm swinging for the fences instead of getting on base as a leadoff hitter swing?
Yeah, it's these same two pinheads that are up to old tricks. First, I believe the Cubs need to fine Soriano for his lack of hustle. He's a dog in the outfield and a "poser" at the plate. Brenly is right on when he laments the LAZY A's trot out of the batter's box, admiring his almost homer that turns into a single because he's not legging out a double. And then, Pinella, WTF? He ran the bullpen like an idiot yesterday.

Not drinking for a while ugh.
And Haroline.
So everytime I type something wrong or use the wrong word or the wrong tempus or grammar etc. I always get paranoid that someone who has english as their native language, will read what I wrote and spot all the mistakes I made and think, "Is she stupid or something??" or "Damn, her english is horrible, I am never going to speak to her ".
While I blog:
While I "do my homework":

so glad I played in vanilla wow! I was there for the opening but the lag the lag!!! Funny thats what I remember most. And seeing the huge jackal things, they were so scary! I remember faithfully making bandages, cooking up food, doing what little I could back on my little dwarf huntress, my very first character. Those were the days folks.

Football always has been a sport for every season — training camps in the spring and summer, critical games in the autumn air, playoffs on snow-covered turf.
Now it truly is a year-round event. With the emergence of indoor leagues for the winter and spring and the growing popularity of 7-on-7 passing camps, those passionate about the pigskin can get their fix just about any day of the year.
Football fix
Participation in local 7-on-7 passing tournaments has increased dramatically over the past few years.
The Utah Youth Passing Championships in Draper has grown from 250 participants in 2010 to more than 1,300 this year. The recent UteShoot at the University of Utah draws approximately 1,800 high-school players every June.
High-school football season officially kicks off with the first day of camp July 29.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
"It used to be football didn't start until camp," said Mark Battaglia, an assistant coach at Jordan High and the coach of the Beetdiggers' ninth-grade team at last week's Utah Youth 7-on-7 Passing Championships in Draper. "You had a couple of kids going to the gym with their dads or going to the park. Now it's nonstop.
"When you're not practicing, you're thinking about practicing and analyzing the kids you've got."
Added fellow Jordan assistant coach Mike Franz: "Literally, you're off for six weeks and then it starts all over again."
The Draper City-run tournament was the third over a six-week span that included more than 110 teams of players ranging from fourth to ninth grade at Galena Park.
It's the fourth year of the event, run by Alta assistant Dave Harrison, who has seen participation jump from about 250 players in 2010 to more than 1,300 this spring.
"It's a great learning environment," Harrison said. "It's fun to watch because it's high intensity, high scoring, and the games are almost always close."
Harrison said the event is about twice the size of the most-participated tournament he has found outside the state, with the exception of Texas. Illinois runs a 7-on-7 with about 50 teams. The University of Utah's UteShoot, which takes place annually in early June, drew 76 high-school teams in 2012.
The rules are simple — no helmets or pads, just cleats and matching jerseys. One-hand touch ends a play on the 30-yard field. Teams get three downs to move 10 yards and four plays to find the end zone inside the 10-yard line. And every play is a pass.
Rosters vary between groups who have played together for years in youth football — Harrison estimates up to 70 percent of the teams fit that category — and others with 12 to 14 players pulled together to play ball.
Jordan's ninth-grade team played teams from Pleasant Grove, Bountiful, American Fork and Mountain Crest.
"We just go out and have some fun," said Alec Kener, an incoming freshman running back at Jordan. "But it helps with learning the plays before you get your pads on and play real games. You learn your routes and the quarterback knows where you're going to be and what's going to happen."
Battaglia said 7-on-7 tournaments are advantageous on several fronts.
"It gives the kids a chance to go against other teams instead of the same kids over and over again," he said. "It gives them a realistic look as to what they might face. It's also a good opportunity to identify your depth."
The popularity of the Draper tournament, which might spawn an invitation-only event next year, and that of year-round football in general, could be another step toward wiping out multisport high-school athletes.
"A lot of these kids who do multiple sports are having to choose," Battaglia said. "We've got a lot of kids who aren't here because they are still in baseball. It's a challenge. You start crossing lines and having to pick what they can do. If you're not here, you fall behind."

An Iowa high school wrestler named Joel Northup preferred to default on his first-round state tournament match rather than wrestle a girl. As a result, said girl, a freshman named Cassy Herkelman, who was 20-13 entering the tournament, won the match by forfeit. She and fellow female wrestler Megan Black made history by being the first girls to qualify for the state tournament since 1926, according to CBS News.
In a formal statement, Northup, who is home-schooled but competes for Linn-Mar High, explained his decision:
I have a tremendous amount of respect for Cassy and Megan and their accomplishments. However, wrestling is a combat sport and it can get violent at times. As a matter of conscience and my faith I do not believe that it is appropriate for a boy to engage a girl in this manner. It is unfortunate that I have been placed in a situation not seen in most other high school sports in Iowa.
In other words, he'd feel more comfortable in a sport that completely shuts young women out of athletic competition.
Hey, I have nothing against this kid -- he has his beliefs, and he's stickin' to 'em. Good for him. He sounds perfectly nice, and at least he's acknowledging respect for the young women. I'm also sure his decision is coming from a good place. But, those points aside, the matter's eye-rollingly laughable. Deal with it, kid. Herkelman's just as good as you are, and if she wasn't able to take the heat (or violence, as you put it), then she wouldn't have become a high school wrestler in the first place.
Nonetheless, Herkelman's dad was very understanding of Northup's decision. He released his own statement:
It's nice to get the first win and have her be on the way to the medal round. I sincerely respect the decision of the Northup family especially since it was made on the biggest stage in wrestling. I have heard nothing but good things about the Northup family and hope Joel does very well the remainder of the tourney.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wish everyone well, too, but this incident does say something about sexism in sports. No matter how much progress we've made with gender equality, sadly, it's still difficult for female athletes to battle stereotypes and be taken seriously. Someone's always going to question their abilities, decline to compete against them as an equal (as in this case), or ask them why they don't just cheerlead or play a sport for which there's an all-girls' team. That's all there is to it. And it's seriously frustrating.
At least there's someone who seems to get it. Chandra Peterson, who is now a senior at Iowa State and wrestled in high school, gave her opinion on the situation to USA Today:
Whatever he's upset about you'd think he'd want to put it aside and wrestle. That's his loss. It's sad that it's 2011 and there are people that still think girls should not be wrestling.
Sad is right. Oh, well. Despite having to face discrimination in her sport, Herkelman thankfully has other young women like Peterson to look up to.
Do you think Northup should have defaulted on the match with Herkelman?

It's not sexism. It's a young man being brought up RIGHT.
I don't understand these bleeding heart feminists. They want better than men in everything, but complain when men show chivalry. I can't believe you found this story and found something negative in a respectable young mans refusal to engage in a contact sport that is based on violence with a female.
So should domestic violence be okay too? Since obviously we are all equal and the woman can just fight back, right? Like a regular old fight between two guys in a bar? That's logically what you're saying.
Women with that kind of mindset make me sick. Let the kid do whats right. He obviously has respect for women and has a conscious.
I think Cassy's wrestling should speak for herself, not him.
People thinking in the same way that you portray in this article is reason why chivalry is all but dead. I am glad to see there are still a few men and women teaching their sons right. Hopefully kids like Northup keep their ideals thorughout their lives.
I agree with the previous and first poster. I do not see sexism as the issue here.I dont see why this was spun in such a negative manner. never did he say anything about her not being able to wrestle... his decision was based on his personal belief that any sort of physical violence towards a woman is wrong, whether competive or not.All is see is a young man standing up for what he felt was right. If the shoe was on the other foot, this girl would be praised and supported for standing up for her beliefs.
the only thing i see "eye-rollingly laughable" is the reaching of this article...
Kaylaird, I could not have said it better. I agree 100%
I think he did a great job standing up for what he believed. It's not sexism. In fact I think he has a TON of respect for a woman because he is not willing to engage her in a match. He is not willing to touch her/fight her/wrestle with her out of respect for her. I hope my daughter dates a young man with that kind of respect.
Wrestling works like this. You have classes based on weight. If this boy and girl are allowed to wrestle against each other, it is because they are of similar weight, probably within ten pounds of each other. So this is not some David/ Goliath matchup. Not being able to see the two, you can't judge if he has siginificantly more muscle mass than her.
He doesn't want to wrestle her because some moves require running your arms between opponents legs and running your hand underneath their armpit, fine. I can understand that. People laugh at the homoerotic stances all the time and it is undeniable that wrestling moves cause you to be all in your opponents body.
But because wrestling is violent? Not necessarily. Physical force is only half the equation in wrestling. Just as important is mastering the moves and using them in a calculated way to defeat your opponent. Plus, the use of physical force (interpreted here as violence) is something I like about it, because especially as women, we are taught to keep it inside, and pretend can't use our bodies that way. I bet that is something these girls enjoy too, and in the context of a wrestling match, it is laughable to equate it with domestic violence. You are in it to win, not scar your opponent and control them. If they have wrestled before, they understand the pain of it.

Homemade Holiday Gifts
You don't need to break the bank with excellent homemade holiday gifts this coming holiday season! Even for all occasions, you don't really need to overspend or over buy on stuffs when special occasions are around the corner. There are so many homemade gift ideas that you can look into in order to avoid the hefty bill from your credit cards and a whole lot of headache after the holiday season is over. So try these homemade holiday gifts and ideas that abound within your easy reach.
Inexpensive Homemade Holiday Gifts
There are some ways to brighten up the everyone during Christmas, Valentine's Day, Father and Mother's Day and on any holiday that is celebrated from all walks of life without spending huge sums of money.
Here are some of my favorite yet inexpensive way of celebrating these special occasions with the best homemade holiday gifts.
Craft Gifts As One of My Favorite Homemade Holiday Gifts
These craft gifts are luxurious looking but inexpensive stuffs that can give a lasting impression to any of these recipients. Even after the holiday is over, you still find them either stored or being used in their household. And this can give you a great feeling that what you have given was being appreciated. For instance, you can look into homemade holiday wreaths, a vintage floral patter tea cups, jars of homemade bath soaps and reusable fabric shopping bags.
Most of these items are easily bought and or shopped online whether they are brand new or used. Instead of getting these products where they are commercially manufactured, try buying the home made holiday gifts and you can save a lot of money.
Especially when talking about how you can be environmentally sensible, you can be using homemade fabric reusable bags instead of the commercial plastic bags that would fill up these landfills where they eventually land.
And for a homemade holiday wreaths, they are very easy to do and you make them in just a couple of hours or even under 2 hours. For these you can easily save anywhere from 50 dollars to a hundred bucks. And this goes the same way as those gift baskets though baskets may take a little longer to do and also depends on the material that you are going to use.
Homemade Holiday Gifts Of Food and Beverages
These are some of my favorite home made food gifts during the holidays; cookies in a jar, homemade biscotti and muffins, home canned vegetables and fruits and holiday baked goodies.
There are also handmade coffee mugs that you can normally see during crafts shows and fairs. These superbly made hand crafted coffee mugs last a lifetime and way after the holiday season is over, you can still have them and bring the spirit of an special occasion.
Cookies in jar doesn't come with what's in the cookies themselves but the way these types of gifts are wrap and presented. You can be creative and put furls, trappings and ribbons to decorate the jar and make it look like these expensive stuffs that you buy at a famous designer store.
Homemade holiday gifts brings the best of your originality and homemade touch! These is priceless! And giving you some of the homemade holiday gift ideas can also make more creative in what you are going to prepare. If you don't know how it's made, you can easily find the instructions online or you can shop your ingredients online for these types of foods, beverages, crafts and other ideas for the perfect homemade holiday gifts this coming Christmas, Valentines, Halloween, Father and Mother's day and other occasions you may be having.

Ahh, that excitement you have when the box of components arrive at your doorstep. You open the package like an eight year old on Christmas Day; sort out all the golf components on your workbench and then you try to test fit the parts. But you find they don't fit. What should you do? One thing is do not panic.
First, look at the golf components to make sure you got the right parts. If you ordered a golf shaft for a golf driver or fairway wood, chances it will be 44" or longer. If the shaft you are trying to insert is only 41" or shorter, it was designed for an golf iron or a hybrid with a .370" internal hosel diameter. Simply call the component supplier you bought them from to have a replacement sent in case the shaft was miss-shipped or the wrong part number ordered. Component companies will usually not replace a shaft that has been trimmed and abraded. Shipping errors can occur on occasion and it is one of the responsibilities of the clubmaker to check inventory when it comes in the door.
It is a wise practice to test fit the head and shaft prior to assembly. This is especially true if the shaft being installed is a graphite shaft as often times the paint on the graphite shaft will cause the tip diameter of the shaft to be too large to fit into the bore of the head. In such cases, the paint will be removed in the shaft abrasion step curing this problem. If the shaft is still too large after this paint removing process, it will be necessary to bore or enlarge the hosel in order to accommodate the shaft. In most steel shaft installations this will not be a problem, but it is best to be sure of that now – if at first the steel shaft will not fit into the hosel, it may be necessary to abrade it as well.
Most steel shafts are produced to a tip diameter tolerance of +/-.002″, while graphite tip tolerances are +/-.004″. The tip tolerance on a graphite shaft may be on the raw, unpainted shaft. Shafts that are light colored, such as white or yellow may need multiple coats of paint so the bare black shaft doesn't bleed through. Two-toned shafts may also have additional paint build up on the tip.
At times a clubmaker might encounter a club with a hosel bore on the lower tolerance range. Most investment cast heads are bored to a tolerance of +/-.0015″ after they are cast at the foundry. Any attempt to fit a shaft on the large side of tolerance, the clubmaker might find the two will not fit together.
The boring or enlarging of the hosel diameter is considered a normal clubmaking step that may have to be performed from time to time. The remedy to either an abraded graphite or steel shaft not fitting is to bore the hosel using an 8.6mm or R-size letter drill bit (for a .335" hosel diameter) or a 3/8" or 9.4mm (for a .370" hosel diameter) to allow for the proper shaft installation. Our clubmaking book will show you the proper methods for boring out a clubhead as well as recommended methods for properly abrading the shaft.
Any extra sanding performed on the shaft involves weakening the tip section making the shaft subject to breakage during play and not covered under manufacturer's warranty. This is true both with composite shafts as well as with steel shafts-excessive abrasion causes shaft weakness and corresponding failure. There is plenty of material in the hosels of clubheads to allow for them to be bored slightly larger to accommodate a given shaft. The rule of thumb is always to increase hosel bore rather than to do any extra shaft tip sanding over and beyond what is considered normal.

3 Comments on How Come My Golf Components Don't Always Fit Together?
I thought this was a great article and something all clubmakers most likely have experienced at some point. Maybe you could ensure the new clubmakers have this great information by possibly listing the drill sizes (I.E. 3/8"-.370-9.4mm &.335"-R-size/8.6mm) in the catalogs and pdf mail out flyers. I can personally attest to the statement you make that it is better to bore the hosel that over-abrade the tip of a graphite shaft. All reshafting kits should contain these drill bits in my opinion. Thanks again.
B.R. Jackson
I was wondering what your advice is when the outside diameter of the hosel is larger than the outside diameter of the ferrule. When ferrules were oversized and a clubmaker had to turn them down, I didn't have a problem. The new ferrules that are supposed to match diameters don't all the time. Sometimes the bore is not centered in the hosel, so you have the ferrule hanging off one side and exposing the top of the hosel and the other side. I like my assembled clubs to look professional but this situation makes it impossible to do so. Please advise.
That is why I like to have an assortment of ferrules on hand and one of the reasons why we try to standardize all our head categories to have the same OD. When you start the ferrule onto the shaft for the first 3/4″ you can test fit it against the top of the head. Often times just the force from driving the ferrule on when seating the shaft to the bottom of the bore will flair out the base of the ferrule so you don't have that unsightly gap. Lastly, it is nice to hear that you pride yourself on your workmanship!!! I am sure is pays off in your customer appreciation and repeat sales.

Obit of the Day: He Hadn't the Foggiest
Bob Smith was an orthodontist with a passion for skiiing. But he was frustrated by inevitable fog that would cover his goggles as he swooshed down the powdery slopes. For most active skiiers, fog was so intense inside the mask that they were skiing virtually blind.
Smith thought he had a solution. Creating a prototype that used two lenses, foam, glue, and, of course, dental floss, Smith would trade his new goggle for lift tickets in Idaho (where he would eventually move his goggle company) or give it away to ski patrols for feedback. Leaving orthodontics, he would found Smith Optics and paved the way for the now-standard double-lens fog-free ski goggle.
Bob Smith died at the age of 78.
(Image of Bob Smith wearing an early pair of his goggles is courtesy of FoxSports.com. I apologize for the blurry image but it was the only one available that showed Mr. Smith wearing his product.)

Texting, which places protracted demands on eyes, hands and attention spans, is a qualitatively different type of driver distraction. In June 2011, according to NHTSA statistics, more than 196 billion text messages were sent or received in the United States. That was up nearly 50 percent from a year earlier. Texting continues to grow as a medium of communication, with teens — the least capable drivers — the most likely to use it. Last week's Texas Distracted Driving Summit in San Antonio went beyond such statistics and trends. As Express-News staff writer Michelle Koidin Jaffee reported, a succession of surviving relatives told heartbreaking stories that put faces on the victims of distracted driving. Their message: Texans behind the wheel should put down their phones and drive safely. Many Texas cities, including San Antonio, have ordinances against texting while driving. Last year, the Texas Legislature passed a measure with strong bipartisan support that would have established a statewide ban and sent a strong message on distracted driving. The efficacy of such laws, when enforced, has been demonstrated in NHTSA pilot programs.

Combining with an N-formyl peptide to initiate a change in cell activity.
The directed, self-propelled movement of a cellular component without the involvement of an external agent such as a transporter or a pore.
The directed movement of a motile cell or organism, or the directed growth of a cell guided by a specific chemical concentration gradient. Movement may be towards a higher concentration (positive chemotaxis) or towards a lower concentration (negative chemotaxis).
The cellular process in which a signal is conveyed to trigger a change in the activity or state of a cell. Signal transduction begins with reception of a signal (e.g. a ligand binding to a receptor or receptor activation by a stimulus such as light), or for signal transduction in the absence of ligand, signal-withdrawal or the activity of a constitutively active receptor. Signal transduction ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. regulation of transcription or regulation of a metabolic process. Signal transduction covers signaling from receptors located on the surface of the cell and signaling via molecules located within the cell. For signaling between cells, signal transduction is restricted to events at and within the receiving cell.

ASP drink was improved. However, when the body's pool of vitamin C is greater than 1500 mg, the efficacy of kidney reabsorption decreases, and vitamin C is excreted into the urine (Hunt and Groff, 1990). Thus, increased vitamin C in the urine may simply indicate that the athletes had high levels of vitamin C already, and the excess "spilled over" into the urine.
Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble vitamins, and these can be stored in appreciable amounts in the fat stores of the body. Because vitamin D is involved in calcium metabolism and vitamins A and E can function as antioxidants, these supplements may be important to exercise or work performance. Because no studies have been uncovered that examined the relationship of vitamin K (a vitamin necessary for blood clotting) with exercise performance or heat stress, this vitamin will not be discussed in the following sections.
Night blindness was recognized by the ancient Egyptians and was treated by adding liver to the diet or by topically applying liver extract to the eyes (J. A. Olson, 1990). In 1914 the compound now known as vitamin A was found to prevent night blindness. Interestingly, the early Egyptian remedies had been lost over the years so that in the nineteenth century, night blindness plagued armies throughout the world (J. A. Olson, 1990).
Vitamin A designates a group of compounds including retinol, retinaldehyde, and retinoic acid. The body's need for vitamin A can be met by intake of preformed retinoids with vitamin A activity, which are generally found in animal products (National Research Council, 1989). Also, the need can be met by ingesting carotenoid precursors of vitamin A (beta-carotene, alphacarotene, and cryptoxanthin) commonly found in plants (National Research Council, 1989). The primary function of vitamin A is for maintenance of vision. Vitamin A is also involved in the growth process and the body's immune response. Beta-carotene, the major carotenoid precursor of vitamin A, plays a role as an antioxidant.
Blood levels of vitamin A (retinol) provide a relatively good index of total body stores. When the liver stores of vitamin A are low, the plasma levels fall (Olson, 1984). The few studies that have examined vitamin A status of athletes found no deficiencies (Guilland et al., 1989; Weight et al., 1988). The absence of deficiencies is most probably due to the body's relatively large storage capacity for vitamin A.
Only one study has examined the effect of vitamin A supplementation on exercise performance. Five men were placed on a vitamin A-deficient
