Hit List: Venus Williams
The tennis champion on the tunes that inspire her play -- and her fashion
Tennis player Venus Williams, 27 years old, has won six Grand Slam titles since she turned pro in 1994 at the age of 14. But Ms. Williams, who was groomed for stardom with her sister Serena on the public courts of South Central Los Angeles, has another, off-court, passion: fashion. Recently she teamed with the clothing chain Steve & Barry's to create EleVen, a collection of more than 120 pieces of low-priced apparel and athletic wear for women, including track suits, sports bras and sneakers. "I've always wanted to have a life after tennis," says Ms. Williams, who in December is due to graduate from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale with a degree in fashion design. Below, five albums that inspire Ms. Williams as an athlete -- and a designer.
* * *
'311,' 311 (1995)
Ms. Williams says her favorite track by the rock band 311 is "All Mixed Up." She listened to the song before every match leading up to her singles title at Wimbledon in 2005. She identified with the lyrics "You've got to bet on yourself now star, cause that's your best bet..."
- Listen to clip of "All Mixed Up"
* * *
'The Documentary,' The Game (2005)
Ms. Williams has the "clean" version of "Church for Thugs," but finds the rap song gets her so fired up it makes her want to talk trash on the court. "But I never will," says Ms. Williams, who rarely speaks while playing.
- Listen to a clip of "Church for Thugs"
* * *
'Confessions on a Dance Floor,' Madonna (2005)
Ms. Williams played this album by Madonna, which features tracks such as "Hung Up," on an endless loop while she drove through Rome in 2006. She now listens to it on the treadmill because it reminds her of that trip.
- Listen to a clip of "Hung Up"
* * *
'Talk to La Bomb,' Brazilian Girls (2006)
The tennis star relies on songs like "Jique" and "La Territoire" for inspiration as she works on her fashion portfolio. Brazilian Girls, a quartet consisting of three men, one woman and no Brazilians, melds reggae, jazz, pop and other influences.
- Listen to a clip of "Jique"
* * *
'In Between,' Paul Van Dyk (2007)
"Castaway" is Ms. Williams's favorite song by the German DJ. She was "heartbroken" recently when she learned she had missed him perform at a Miami club. "I've been in school studying," she says.
- Listen to a clip of "Castaway"

Pundits Display Personal, Ideological Filters
The coincidence of the nation's first black president being inaugurated for the second time on the Martin Luther King Jr. federal holiday Monday did not go unnoticed by pundits. Neither did President Obama's delivery of what some called the most inclusive inaugural speech ever.
How they interpreted that speech depended on the lens through which they viewed it.
CNN pundit David Gergen called it "one of the most important Barack Obama has given as president," calling it a "declaration of conscience."
On MSNBC, Chuck Todd said the president was attempting to mainstream "the liberal-progressive" agenda the way Ronald Reagan did the conservative one.
Chris Wallace of Fox News Channel did not hear mainstreaming. Wallace said Obama's plan "appears to be, 'Let's jam it down their throats.' "
Given Fox's political orientation, the criticism was not so surprising. In fact, satirist Andy Borowitz wrote a piece for the New Yorker over the weekend saying that Fox News Channel planned to shut down for what it called "routine maintenance" Monday morning at 11:30 ET, broadcasting "a continuous photomontage of white people" during the 12-hour shutdown. Some on social media and at least one website, Loop21, reported the joke as straight news.
African American-oriented cable networks BET and TV One covered the inaugural speech live and emphasized the event's significance for African Americans.
Many of them no doubt felt the way Eugene Robinson did at the Washington Post. "Reaction to the address took remarkably little notice of the fact that Obama is an African American," Robinson wrote. "That seems to be old news.
"Not for me, though. Not for a black man who grew up in the segregated South, who attended a rally (my mother tells me) at which the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke, who lived through the defeat of Jim Crow and the triumph of the civil rights movement."
Michael Steele, the African American former Republican National Committee chairman, agreed in his comments on MSNBC. "As an African American who grew up in Petworth," a District of Columbia neighborhood, "this is a very powerful moment," Steele said. "We're not just in the room but at the table."
Steele was critical of "some of those Republicans who had to leave town and wouldn't be a part of it today," saying Obama's speech carried with it a "great tone, and I think the president should be applauded for that."
Obama used his address "to cast modern-day priorities — fighting climate change, welcoming immigrants, and ensuring gay rights — as the extension of a long struggle to live up to the Founders' ideals," David A. Fahrenthold and Debbi Wilgoren reported for the Washington Post under the online headline, "Obama calls for greater equality for all."
Matt Smith and Tom Cohen of CNN noted, "The loudest cheer of Obama's address came when he said the nation's journey remained incomplete 'until our wives, our mothers, and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts,' and 'until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law. '
Obama became the first president to ever mention homosexuality and gay rights in such a speech, Andrew Kirell reported for mediaite.
The president referred to key locations in the struggle for women's, African American and gay rights. He said, "We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths — that all of us are created equal — is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall; just as it guided all those men and women, sung and unsung, who left footprints along this great Mall, to hear a preacher say that we cannot walk alone; to hear a King proclaim that our individual freedom is inextricably bound to the freedom of every soul on Earth."
"It feels like a very fresh, modern" approach to an inauguration, Rachel Maddow said on MSNBC. In mentioning constituencies whose gains came through protest, she said, Obama's message was that "the country gets better because people fight to make it better," and he telegraphed "how he sees that change happens in the future."
With the choice of Beyoncé to render the Star Spangled Banner, and the presence of singers Kelly Clarkson and James Taylor, Maddow said the event seemed "a combination of pop culture and patriotism."
USA Today columnist DeWayne Wickham, a panelist during BET's coverage, called the address "very much a victory lap" with "specific messages to those who backed him."
Ed Gordon, who anchored BET's coverage, embraced Beyoncé with a familiarity appropriate for BET's audience. "Looking at that little girl from Houston, Texas, speaks to what America is all about," Gordon said, calling her "arguably the top entertainer of the country."
On Fox News, Obama's implied criticism of Republican ideologues did not sit well.
"The people who are Obama supporters believe the Republicans have been obstructionist," commentator Brit Hume said. But the Republicans say, "We'd love to do business with this guy, but he never offers us anything." Hume said that it is normal for passages in second inaugural addresses to note areas of commonality with the other party. But "this is completely bereft of an outreach to the opposition."
Surprisingly, Hume's colleague Chris Wallace challenged Hume. Wallace pointed out Republican filibusters during Obama's first term and recalled the pledge early on by Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the Senate minority leader, to make Obama a one-term president. "I don't think you can lay it all on the side of the White House," Wallace said.
Still, Fox correspondent Jim Angle cited Obama's statement that, "We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate" to say, "I think there are a lot of Republicans who would say you could say that about the president himself."
The inaugural symbolism extended to the selections of Richard Blanco, who is gay and Latino, to deliver the inaugural poem, and Myrlie Evers-Williams, widow of slain civil rights figure Medgar Evers and a civil rights leader in her own right, to deliver the invocation. The Bibles chosen were those used by Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. Sonia Sotomayor, the first Hispanic Supreme Court justice, administered the oath to Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.
No Asian Americans or Native Americans seemed to have a part in the ceremony.
Roland Martin, who anchored TV One's coverage, called attention to an African American presence that went back to 1972, saying that the Rev. Jesse Jackson's presidential campaigns in 1984 and 1988 "made this possible." He also mentioned the 1972 campaign of Rep. Shirley Chisholm, D-N.Y., for the Democratic nomination.
Jackson's campaigns led to the elimination of winner-take-all and "bonus" primaries from Democratic Party elections after the 1988 race.
Martin invited Arnaldo Torres, who was broadcasting in a nearby Telemundo booth, to join him to discuss closer cooperation between African Americans and Latinos. Torres said that when he was national executive director of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) from 1980 to 1984, he joined with the Martin Luther King Center in Atlanta to propose funding for such a coalition.
"Not one liberal foundation wanted to fund us," Torres said. "A lot of people are very afraid to see people of color coming together in a serious way."
Pacifica Radio's "Democracy Now!" took the African American connection much farther back.
Clarence Lusane, author of "The Black History of the White House," pointed out that both the Capitol and White House were built with slave labor, that 25 percent of all U.S. presidents were slaveholders and that black people were held in bondage in the White House itself.
Joyner, Smiley Clash Again Over Obama
The differences between syndicated radio host Tom Joyner and media figure Tavis Smiley, once a regular commentator on the Joyner show, show no signs of mending. Joyner wrote on his blog Monday, "What do many Republicans, the spokesmen, for NRA and Tavis Smiley have in common? Once they start down a road, no matter how dangerous or ridiculously wrong it is, they won't turn back."
Joyner added, "I believe that Tavis is the one fascinated with Dr. [Martin Luther] King's legacy, but more importantly Tavis is fascinated with his own legacy, and that's not good. He wants more than anything to be remembered the way Dr. King was, and to some how make that kind of mark on the world. . . . "
Smiley said on CBS' "Sunday Morning," "I've heard people exclaim that President Obama is the fulfillment of Dr. King's dream. Well, not exactly. . . . The interrelated triple threat of poverty, militarism and racism that King talked about still looms large in a yet-deeply-divided America."
Joyner wrote, ". . . Dr. King knew good things would be said about him in death and he was humbled at the idea of it. Tavis is afraid of what will be said about him and it's driving him crazy. He points out on the day of President Obama's swearing in that the President is not the fulfillment of Dr. King's dream, but maybe a good down payment. I wonder what that makes Tavis, and sadly, does he. . . ."
Meanwhile, Cornel West, Smiley's partner on the "Smiley and West" radio show, "says he is outraged that Mr. Obama would use Dr. King's personal Bible at the inauguration without endorsing Dr. King's 'black freedom struggle,' " Susan Saulny reported Sunday in the New York Times.
" 'Martin went to jail talking about carpet bombing in Vietnam and trying to organize poor people, fighting for civil liberties,' Mr. West said. The president, he said, 'has a compromising kind of temperament.' "

Asian American Voters Relied on Ethnic Media
"Around half of Asian Americans relied on ethnic media for news during the last election in which the growing community voted overwhelmingly for President Barack Obama, a study said Thursday," Shaun Tandon reported for Agence France-Presse.
"Massive support by minorities played a vital role in Obama's re-election on November 6. Asian Americans made up 3.4 percent of the electorate and could play a greater future role as they form the fastest expanding racial group.
"The Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund, releasing detailed findings from its exit polls, found that 48 percent of Asian Americans considered ethnic media, led by television, to be their prime news source.
"Asian Americans of Korean, Vietnamese and Chinese heritage are most likely to consider vernacular-language ethnic media their main news source. The figure dwindles for Indian and Filipino Americans for whom fluent English is the norm."
The AALDEF's nonpartisan multilingual exit poll reached 9,096 Asian American voters in 14 states, the largest survey of its kind in the nation, the group said.
Seventy-seven percent voted for Obama.
Thirty-seven percent were limited English proficient, defined as speaking English "less than very well."
Voters were asked if they encountered any voting problems. The organization said 249 responded that they were required to prove their U.S. citizenship, 307 said their names were missing or there were errors in the list of voters at poll sites, 215 had to vote by provisional ballot, 165 said poll workers did not know what to do, 136 voters said poll workers were rude or hostile, 183 voters said no interpreters or translations were available when they needed their help and 105 were directed to the wrong poll site or voting machine/table within a site.
Google Drops "Make Me Asian" Smartphone App
" 'Make Me Asian,' a smartphone app that drew the ire of Asian-American activists for what they say are stereotypical depictions, is no longer available on the Google Play Store," Gene Demby reported Thursday for NPR.
"The 'Make Me Asian' app let users alter photos to turn faces into stereotypical Asian caricatures — think Fu Manchu-style mustaches and rice paddy hats. Its creator, 'KimberyDeiss,' developed similar apps, like Make Me Indian, Make Me Russian, Make Me Frankenstein and Make Me Fat. Those apps are no longer available, either, and KimberyDeiss's Google Play profile has been deleted.
". . . In a recent conversation with NPR's Allison Keyes, columnist Jeff Yang of The Wall Street Journal said he wasn't surprised that the app didn't raise the sort of objections that apps about other ethnic groups might have.
" 'There is less inherent social and political power associated with these groups,' he said, so the consequences often aren't as serious 'if you parody, satire or mock or offend these communities.' "
Cristina Azocar Named Interim J-Chair at S.F. State
Cristina Azocar, director of the Center for Integration and Improvement of Journalism at San Francisco State University for more than 10 years, has resigned to become the interim chair of the Department of Journalism, the school announced on its website.
Azocar, a member of the Upper Mattaponi Tribe, is a past president of the Native American Journalists Association and serves on the board of the Women's Media Center.
"Associate Professor Rachele Kanigel will become the acting director of CIIJ while a new direction is planned for the 23-year-old organization," a separate announcement said.
Founded at San Francisco State University in 1990 by Betty Medsger, the Center for Integration and Improvement of Journalism says it "believes that accurate and responsible journalism reflects the changing demographics of the society it serves. We develop programs and conduct research aimed at recruiting, retaining and revitalizing journalists and journalism educators. We seek to make journalism more inclusive from the classroom to the newsroom."
Azocar is to serve while Chair Venise Wagner is on leave during the spring semester.
Hans Massaquoi of Ebony Dies, Grew Up Among Nazis
"Hans Massaquoi, a former managing editor of Ebony magazine who wrote a distinctive memoir about his unusual childhood growing up black in Nazi Germany, has died. He was 87," Freida Frisaro reported Monday for the Associated Press.
"His son said Massaquoi died Saturday, on his 87th birthday, in Jacksonville[, Fla.] He had been hospitalized over the Christmas holidays.
" 'He had quite a journey in life,' said Hans J. Massaquoi, Jr. of Detroit. 'Many have read his books and know what he endured. But most don't know that he was a good, kind, loving, fun-loving, fair, honest, generous, hard-working and open-minded man. He respected others and commanded respect himself. He was dignified and trustworthy. We will miss him forever and try to live by his example.'
"In an interview in 2000, the elder Massaquoi told The Associated Press that he credited the late Alex Haley, author of 'Roots,' with convincing him to share his experience of being 'both an insider in Nazi Germany and, paradoxically, an endangered outsider.' His autobiography, 'Destined to Witness: Growing Up Black in Nazi Germany,' was published in the U.S. in 1999 and a German translation was also published.
"Massaquoi's mother was a German nurse and his father was the son of a Liberian diplomat. He grew up in working class neighborhoods of the port city of Hamburg.
". . . . He worked first for Jet Magazine before moving to Chicago-based Ebony, where he rose to managing editor before retiring in the late 1990s."
Jessica Lum, Multimedia Journalist, Dies at 25
Jessica Lum, a journalist who combined multimedia skills with enthusiasm for telling stories to report news and share her personal struggle with cancer on Facebook, died Jan. 13 of cancer, her family said. She was 25, Robert D. Dávila reported Thursday in the Sacramento Bee.
"Ms. Lum, who graduated from McClatchy High School, was a senior at UCLA when she was diagnosed in 2008 with metastatic pheochromocytoma, a rare cancer. Having documented much of her college life in comments and photos on Facebook, she instinctively turned to social media to announce that she had cancer and to seek support.
"She posted updates about her health for more than 1,000 Facebook friends. She voiced private feelings in a public forum with 'an online style of honesty mixed with humor and sarcasm,' according to a Bee story in 2009.
". . . For her master's thesis, Ms. Lum spent weeks in the Colorado Desert in Southern California interviewing, photographing and writing about residents of Slab City, a squatters haven in Imperial County. Her multimedia project, 'Slab City Stories,' won the 2012 Online News Association award for best feature by a student. (The project is online at slabcitystories.com.)"
Short Takes
- Condoleezza Rice, secretary of state and national security adviser in the Bush administration and a professor at Stanford University, has joined CBS News as a contributor, the network announced on Sunday. Bill Carter noted in the New York Times, "Other figures from the Bush administration have been hired as television commentators, including Karl Rove, the former deputy chief of staff, and the former United Nations ambassador, John Bolton, both at Fox News."
- While continuing as host of "NewsNation" weekday afternoons on MSNBC, Tamron Hall has signed to host "Deadline: Crime with Tamron Hall," a 13-part series for Investigative Discovery, Robert Feder reported Saturday for Time Out Chicago. "The 2004 murder of Hall's sister Renate, who was a victim of domestic violence, makes Hall uniquely qualified to host the series, according to a statement by the network."
- Tom Rosenstiel, executive director of the American Press Institute, challenged Alan Mutter's analysis of last week that roughly three-quarters of newspaper readers are now over age 45. Rosenstiel wrote for the Poynter Institute, "He based his analysis on data from the Pew Research Center that I was involved in producing from summer 2010 and summer 2012. (I left the Pew Research Center in December to take the helm of the American Press Institute). The problem is, the analysis doesn't reflect reality."
- Al Sharpton told NPR's Corey Dade that the idea for his "PoliticsNation" on MSNBC "came from Paula Madison, then the executive vice president and chief diversity officer for NBCUniversal. She envisioned Sharpton hosting a weekly program similar to the CNN show hosted by civil rights leader Jesse Jackson in the 1990s. Sharpton says he pitched the idea to MSNBC President Phil Griffin, who rejected it before eventually deciding to hire him as a daily host." Dade's "The Rev. Al Sharpton, In Six True-False Statements" appeared on the NPR site on Saturday.
- On Saturday, the Bronx Documentary Center in New York opened "Seis del Sur: Dispatches from Home by Six Nuyorican Photographers," an exhibition of photographs, video and ephemera by Joe Conzo Jr., Ricky Flores, Ángel Franco, David Gonzalez, Edwin Pagán and Francisco Molina Reyes II, all photographers of Puerto Rican descent. Gonzalez and Franco work at the New York Times; Flores at the suburban Journal News. "The exhibition depicts the South Bronx in the 1970s, 80s and 90s as captured by those who lived through the famous devastation. This groundbreaking exhibition, a combination of street photography, portraiture, crime scene photos, and snapshots from the birth of hip hop, has been 'thirty years in the making,' " an announcement says. The exhibition runs until March 8. Review by Charlie Vázquez of Latino Rebels.
- In Hawaii, "News anchor Teri Okita will leave Hawaii News Now at the end of the February Nielsen ratings period and former anchor Grace Lee, who left the stations in November of 2010, will be returning, the Star-Advertiser has learned," the Honolulu newspaper reported Friday.
- In New York, "WABC reporter Marci Gonzalez is joining ABC News as a New York-based correspondent for NewsOne," Merrill Knox reported Friday for TVSpy. "Gonzalez joined the New York City ABC O&O as a reporter in 2011. She has also worked at WPTV in West Palm Beach and News 12 The Bronx."

Hans Massaquoi
Submitted by Frederick Lowe (not verified) on Sat, 01/26/2013 - 16:22.
I was sad to learn about Hans Massaquoi's death. I read Destined to Witness:Growing Up Black in Nazi Germany, and it opened a new world to me.
Although I had read Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, I never knew blacks lived in Germany prior to and during World War 2.
I interviewed Mr. Massaquoi many years ago for the Chicago Reader, a weekly paper. Mr. Massaquoi told me that African troops from Cameroon occuppied Germany's industrial heartland after World War 1. Great Britain and France had disarmed Germany.
Two years ago, my wife, Susan, and I visited Berlin. In Germany's national museum, there are photographs of African troops patrolling parts of Germany.
Massaquoi's book became the No.2 bestseller in Germany. It was not promoted as well as it should have been in the United States.
It has, however, sparked other nonfiction books about Black Germans even one about Afro Germans who were members of the regular German Army and the dreaded SS during World War II.
I never met Mr. Massaquoi; I interviewed him over the telephone. I'm happy I talked with him and I extremely happy I read his book.

When I first moved to St. Clair, I thought this was just a sleepy retirement community. After 15 years as a St. Clair resident, I know what a great place it is to raise kids and run a business.

Where have all the leaders gone? As Americans survey a landscape that seems uncommonly bleak, a new national survey commissioned for this issue of U.S. News found that two thirds of the public believes the nation is in a leadership crisis, while nearly three quarters worries that unless we find better leaders soon, the nation will begin to decline. Some 9 of every 10 people say political leaders today spend too much time attacking rivals, while 8 of 10 believe that corporate leaders are more concerned with making money than with running their companies well.
There are some glimmers of hope, however. As it did last year, U.S. News teamed with the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government to identify leaders who are making a difference. A national panel sifted through thickets of recommendations and agreed on a small group of men and women who embody the most important traits of leadership. There may be a dearth of leadership in our national life, but as the portraits in this issue attest, there are still great leaders abroad in the land.

Amazon.com Review
The idea of "perfect meal" in this context is to be taken to mean not necessarily the most upscale, chi-chi, three-star dining experience, but the ideal combination of food, atmosphere, and company. This would take in fishing villages in Vietnam, bars in Cambodia, and Tuareg camps in Morocco (roasted sheep's testicle, as it happens); it would stretch to smoked fish and sauna in the frozen Russian countryside and the French Laundry in California's Napa Valley. It would mean exquisitely refined kaiseki rituals in Japan after yakitori with drunken salarymen. Deep-fried Mars Bars in Glasgow and Gordon Ramsay in London. The still-beating heart of a cobra in Saigon. Drink. Danger. Guns. All with a TV crew in tow for the accompanying series--22 episodes of video gold, we are assured, featuring many don't-try-this-at-home shots of the author in gastric distress or crawling into yet another storm drain at four in the morning.
You are unlikely to lay your hands on a more hectically, strenuously entertaining book for some time. Our hero eats and swashbuckles round the globe with perfect-pitch attitude and liberal use of judiciously placed profanities. Bourdain can write. His timing is great. He is very funny and is under no illusions whatsoever about himself or anyone else. But most of all, he is a chef who got himself out of his kitchen and found, all over the world, people who understand that eating well is the foundation of harmonious living. --Robin Davidson, Amazon.co.uk

3 of 4 people found the following review helpful
Pretty good and better than it's main competitor,
This review is from: Magellan RoadMate 3055 4.7-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Lifetime Traffic (Wireless Phone Accessory)
As far as I'm concerned, none of the GPS units are fantastic. They all have their shortfalls. However, I've been using this unit for about a month and I'd say it's pretty good - better than it's main competitor.
We had 2 Garmin 765wt units and we've learned to hate them miserably. I was able to return one and get the Magellan which I like much better so far. The Magellan beats the Garmin in ALL of the following:
The Garmins take forever to acquire the sats; I'm always fighting with the zoom in/out function because its so slow to respond; if you just want to use it as a map, I find it very frustrating to move the map around because the response time and screen sensitivity are really poor; the Garmins get "lost" fairly often and don't know where they are. I have to shut it down and restart it so it can find itself; half the time it doesn't realize that it's on a divided roadway, so I'll be on a highway and it will tell me to turn left into a Jersey barrier just after I've passed a jug handle 1/4 mile back - man I HATE when it does that! I could go on, but I'm much happier with the Magellan. Garmin has the name and advertising budget, but for the day to day grind I'll hang onto the Magellan thank you.

Mike Boyle - On the money or off the podium?
I read with interest, and a slightly raised left eyebrow, the recent discussion on the CrossFit board regarding Mike Boyle's apparent aversion to high rep Olympic lifts.
Here's the flavour:
One common criticism leveled at CrossFit is that we engage in the "dangerous" activity of "high rep Olympic weightlifting."
Very recently Mike Boyle of "Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning " offered this objection when asked about CrossFit at a SOCOM sponsored "Special Op's Medical Conference."
And all were invited to post their opinions to comments.
Now I've read a lot of what Boyle has to say and I think it is very easy to misunderstand him, if you only digest the soundbites.
I think the point is that Boyle primarily trains athletes. He has formulated his theories over a number of years. He does what he does because he thinks that it is inherently safe.
One of the things I notice about those who post to comments and those who post to the message board is the contrast in their depth of knowledge. Many people do CrossFit and it really works for them. And they post to comments to pay tribute to this fact. Good. But there is a world outside.
Sometimes people just get it wrong. One poster says Boyle has a problem with front squats. No, he has a problem with back squats. But that post will stick in many reader's minds.
Furthermore, I'm not a soldier, I'm not a cop. I've got different goals. Elements of CrossFit work for me. Others don't. Elements of Functional Training are just pointless to me. I don't have the time or the inclination.
I don't want to start another Boyle-CrossFit slagging match, I'm just interested in a discussion about his theories and methods, many of which I believe are inherently sound.
Just to express my own position:
All very simplistic I know but the theories are the simple bits, it's the training that works you over.
without going into a rant...as I like some of Boyle's stuff for athletes, it's just the simple fact not there is no such thing as one perfect program for everyone. People who are overweight need fat loss....people who are weak need strength training...athletes need movement specific training...etc. The best program for anyone is just the one you do with consistency and progression whatever that may be. People will get results on any good program as long as they stick with it. It's been said that a person will get better results if he follows an average program to a 95% consistency and intensity, vs the person who follows the best program in the whole world with only 50% consistency and intensity.
There are really no new ideas in the fitness world....just different ways of putting them all together in a program. After all....it's just training, life is such a bigger picture.
Boyle has been training people for a long, long time, and he makes a good living from it. In addition to that, he has trained numerous collegiate and professional athletes. And he's done it quietly, mostly under the radar. Other S&C professionals knew his name and respected his work. It's only late 2005-2006 that the S&C internet community really started to talk about him, and when he started to put together his own forum and start to publicize himself with his book and the articles easily available now.
I read that thread, and I wasn't really going to comment on it, but I will say a few things, and try to stay on a positive note, both James and Mike have made very good points.
1. You can't compare apples to oranges, despite arguments to the contrary.
2. Hockey players are going to stomp Crossfitters at hockey. Crossfitters are going to stomp hockey players at Crossfit. A Crossfitting hockey player? Well, the sport specific skills are what's going to matter.
3. Special Forces people are going to get the job done whether they run, lift weights, do crossfit, follow Stew Smith's routines, or whatever. No matter what they do, it's covered.
Someone pointed this thread out to me:
This is an interesting thread, which I first saw over at Crossfit. I was at the Special Operations Medical Association (SOMA) conference in question. I am a former SF medic, but I still stay in contact with other guys in the Spec. Ops community. I sat in on the Human Performance lecture, which is where Mike Boyle's comment was made. He was part of a larger panel comprised of fitness gurus, one of whom was Mark Twight (Gym Jones). Although I was in and out of the lectures--it lasted roughly 90 mins--I did not find it to be anti-Crossfit in anyway. I think, from talking with a few operators, the questioning of high rep Oly lifts come from the ground up; i.e., they had concerns with its efficacy and safety, and he just addressed it. If the lecture was unclassified, which I assume it would be, I may be able to get my hands on a copy.
It is funny Steve mentioned Stew Smith, because I used his program to prepare for SF Selection, and then turned into a LSD-slut while in SF , and only started Xfit after I left the military, then shifted toward and currently use Coach Rut's methods. Had I known what I know now (God, I have tuned into my dad), I would have adopted the Xfit or Xfit-like methodology while serving, because I suffered many injuries.
In the end, I think it does come down to personal preference. I am just glad the conversation is occurring. The Human Performance lecture is a manifestation of upper echelons recognizing that you cannot mass produce spec. ops. guys, so you had better maintain them with the same funds and vigor as you do weapon systems. Granted, the conversation will include those that do not want to budge from their chosen method, but as long as educated, even-tempered individuals continue to seek optimal performance it will continue to grow.
Just my thoughts.
My point of view is this, with proper precautions lifting is inherently safe. To the unitiated and those with poor judgement (I may be included in this) any activity including lifting is dangerous. The eversion of risk is what limits us from progressing. The application of risk with good judgement is what produces results.
Hockey is a terrible example of this because as the injury ratios go up in the sport S&C coaches are getting further and further away from efficacious training. And because of this the injury ratios climb... It's a vicious circle.
Mike Boyle is a good coach the only disagreement I have with his position is not that I think he is wrong, its that I think his eversion to exercises that are risky also limit the possible progression of his athletes. He is one of the better S&C coaches in hockey unfortunately in my opinion that isn't good enough!!!
As far as SF guys getting the job done, I agree they may do just that. But will they continue to be able to get the job done as long as they are capable or will they shutdown before their time. I can't speak on the issues in the U.S. but the fact is in this country we didn't fix what we didn't know was broken...
Just because we don't know it's broken doesn't mean it isn't. Sometimes you have to step back and think, we are sending these guys in to risky scenarios, under real life conditions. So why would we train by removing all possibilites of risk? That makes no sense to me... We are setting people up for failure in my opinion.
Athletes in contact sports particularly are no different than SF personel. They are required to enter particularly riscky scenerios yet we train to avoid risk, which causes us to systematically fail when risk crops up when its least expected. We are fooling ourselves if we think avoiding something that may, perhaps, possibly, maybe cause an injury and believing that we will be ready to handle physical stress.
A good coach shouldn't stand on competent athletes a good coach should produce competent athletes. If an athlete can't perform an exercise safely its the coaches problem. If the athlete trains themself and can't perform safely then its their own. Hockey is the worst sport on the planet when it comes to S&C coaches knowing the needs of their players. Mainly because none of them have played the damn sport and don't understand the risks! Soldiering is the same!
I at least think the Glassman's understand this. I've never been intimidated by a broomstick, and if an individual is too cocky to move beyond this before they are ready and a coach too incompetent to allow it than its their own damn fault, their own damn loss and my athletes will be better off then theirs!
Pierre, you've got to show me the money on this:
And this:
There is nothing inherent in avoiding a potential injurious situation or exercise that's implicit in failure somewhere further on down the line.
I don't want you to feel like I'm attacking you, Pierre. You often have excellent insights and opinions. This isn't one of them.
take everything with a grain of salt. He does have soe valid points
Boyle hasn't bothered commenting upon any of the comments upon his comments.
At least on his board, nor elsewhere that I've seen.
I haven't looked on T-mag yet...supposedly there is another totally gonzo Poliquin article there.

Bowie's New Baby; Dixie Chick Expecting
Mega-star David Bowie and his beautiful model wife Iman have announced the birth of their first baby and it's a girl!
He's an actor/singer/composer and she's a supermodel and they've just had their first baby girl.
David Bowie, 53 and his wife Iman, 44 announced the birth of their first child together on Thursday.
Alexandria Zahra Jones, arrived at six minutes past 5 am and weighed 7 pounds, 4.6 ounces, reported ABConline.
The ecstatic Bowie assisted in the delivery, according to a statement by the actor's spokesman.
According to ABC, the couple had planed this pregnancy for a long time.
In an interview with US Weekly, Iman had said, "I was trying for a year and a half, and then I gave up."
"Then, just when I thought that I had waited too long, I got pregnant. It was a pleasant surprise," she added.
Bowie and Iman, who were married in 1992 after a two-year courtship. They both have children from previous relationships. Bowie has two sons from first wife, Angie. Iman's daughter Zulekah is 22 years old.
Meanwhile, one of the Dixie Chicks is getting ready for a new arrival too.
According to ABConline, Natalie Maines, one-third of the multiplatinum country act, and her husband, actor Adrian Pasdar (Near Dark), announced Monday that they're expecting their first child in April 2001.
The two, who met at the wedding of fellow Chick Emily Robison, were married June 24. Kids were definitely on the agenda for the newlyweds. "Babies! That's the meaning of life," declared Maines in a March interview.
The proud papa-to-be topped his wife's enthusiasm in his own statement. "This is merely the first of 10 children," he announced—Albawaba.com

Brawling bikie rat - airport accused now informant
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- August 28, 2009
Sydney crime bloodbath
FULL coverage of Sydney's bikie war, drive-up shootings, violent street crime and its victims. Latest news, photos, video, analysis.
A MAN charged with the murder of a bikie associate at Sydney Airport has turned police informant, The Daily Telegraph can reveal.
The man, from Sydney's southwest, was charged with riot and affray following the brawl in which Hells Angels associate Anthony Zervas was killed.
He ultimately got bail, only to be arrested and charged - along with a number of his Comanchero gang members - with murder.
The Daily Telegraph now understands he has become a police witness.
The development comes as Sydney's domestic airport was sealed off on Wednesday night and into the early hours of yesterday as part of a "police operation" - believed to be a re-enactment of the deadly brawl.
Strike Force Metter investigators apparently did video-recorded mapping of the crime scene and "walk-through" re-enactments.
Meanwhile, lawyers for other Comanchero bikies charged over Mr Zervas' death mounted another round of bail applications in Sydney's Central Local Court.
Frank La Rosa, 37, from Leichhardt, was charged with murder, riot and affray over the March 22 brawl in which 29-year-old Mr Zervas died. He was granted bail.
Police allege Mr Zervas was stabbed and beaten with a steel bollard during the clash between rival Comanchero and Hells Angels.

We hold ONE major fundraiser each fall to support the entire year's budget. There are two ways to contribute: purchase a magazine or make a direct donation. Thank you in advance for your contributions!
The annual used-book sale is held in the spring.
Successful fundraising efforts allow us to provide:
We sell SCRIP cards year round as a "passive" fundraiser.
SCRIP is a passive fundraising partnership between retailers and non-profits like FMS PTSA. Participating retailers agree to sell gift cards to our organization at a discount. Member families like yours buy the certificates for full face value, you redeem them for full face value, and our PTSA keeps the difference as income. This is great because everybody wins:
SCRIP cards look just like gift cards or certificates you would buy yourself from vendors like Fred Meyer, Food Co-Op, or Pizzazza, and even national chains such as Zappos and REI. The difference is, for example, your $100 SCRIP card not only allows you to buy groceries, it returns 5-20% to the PTSA from the retailer as a donation. If you already shop at these merchants, using SCRIP cards can make a big difference to our kids. Fred Meyer cards are excellent for using with gas purchases.

Sherri's Tex-Mex Potato Soup
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 45 mins
I found this recipe in a book my Grandmother gave me, compiled by Ladies Auxiliary of the Medina Lake Volunteer Fire Department, 1986. If you prefer a milder soup and not so spicy, add plain tomatoes not Rotel. The spice amounts are a guideline-adjust to your taste. This recipe is easy to make your own-consider adding kernel corn, bell pepper, celery, hominy, peas, carrots, squash or even cooked chorizo, ground beef, ham, or chicken. Also, try cheddar or monterrey jack cheese. Delicious served with cornbread-try Sherri's Cornbread. Enjoy!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 -6 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, grated
- 1 (10 ounce) can rotel (tomatoes and chilies)
- 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 1⁄2 quarts water (6 cups)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon Mexican oregano (optional)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cumin (optional)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper (to taste)
- 4 -5 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 ounces Velveeta cheese, divided (optional)
- Fry bacon in 2 quart pot until crisp; drain grease.
- Add the onions and garlic and saute about 2 minutes.
- Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, and water. If desired, add oregano and cumin. Simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Add potatoes and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
- Cube cheese and place in bottom of soup bowl and cover with hot soup.
- Garnish w/ any or all for a coloful presentation-bacon bits, green onions, diced tomato, jalapeno, grated cheese.
Most Helpful
So glad I doubled this! I've never had a potato soup like this before. Delicious, simple, and quick to make. I didn't use the velveeta. We just sprinkled some shredded pepper jack on top. I will definitely make this one again. Too bad it hasn't received more reviews.
TOTALLY fabulous Sherri! I made this today and we both loved it. I made is exactly as posted and decided to add the optional cumin and oregano, as well as garnish it with grated cheese, carrot, sweetcorn and coriander (cilantro). It hit the spot on this cold and wintery day, we ate it with home-made bread and had seconds as it was so good. I used Rotel with chillies - a precious tin from a recent swap with a partner in the USA - so you ARE very honoured that it was used in this soup!! Made for Tex-Mex Photo Challenge in the Photos Forum. Merci encore! FT:-)

Search and More announces new client win, Whitehall Media Group
Search and More, the North West's proven organic internet marketing strategist, is pleased to announce that it has added yet another high-profile client, Whitehall Media, to its expanding UK business portfolio.
Whitehall Media is a business-to-
Whitehall Media (http://www.whitehallmedia.co.uk) maintains an undiluted focus on content and product quality across conferences, awards, exhibitions, and intelligence services. This enables the sharing of best practice, ideas and inspiration, for better, more timely, and more informed decisions. Whitehall Media gives business professionals the commercial understanding and access to the people and organisations they need to do their jobs better. In order to continuing delivering these goals, Whitehall has turned to Search and More, the North West's number one organic internet marketing strategists, to help it consolidate its success in the market place and deliver an even-better and more-targeted service to its growing list of clients.
Search and More are the internet marketing experts of choice in the region with a proven 10 year track record of making business work better and smarter. Search and More doesn't believe in approaching internet marketing in the traditional way. We prefer to look at the whole picture, and don't focus purely on search engine optimisation (SEO). Although SEO might improve short-term search engines ratings, it isn't necessarily a sustainable strategy and will never deliver the sort f results that businesses would like. Search and More uses a more rounded, holistic approach that focuses on every aspect of a business's internet marketing strategy. There is far too much emphasis on keywords in internet marketing. Although the right keywords might improve search engine ranking for a while, they'll never guarantee that website visitors will like what they see, nor buy any of the products on display.

Jeb Bush Is Raising Private Equity Funds for Oil and Gas Companies
What does this mean for 2016?
If Jeb Bush is planning to run for president in 2016, he's chosen an odd way to spend the last year before campaign season begins. According to Bloomberg, the former Florida governor is the chairman and part owner of an investment firm that's raising private equity funds for oil and gas companies. Bush's role at Britton Hill Holdings LLC, which opened shop in May 2013, was only revealed last month in SEC filings.
If Bush does indeed decide to run for president, he can expect this to be used against him. Mitt Romney's career in private equity was brought up in both the Republican primary and the general election. Should Bush run, likely opponent Rick Perry could recycle the "vulture capitalist" label he pinned on Romney. (And if anyone's apt to recycle a line, it's Perry.)
Another potential pitfall of Bush's private equity dealings is the industries he's most heavily working with. Bloomberg says the firm's "first investments have been tied to the exploitation of shale oil and gas." That one might not matter in the primary, but if Bush represents the GOP in the general election it's not hard to imagine environmental groups tracking down a family who can blame their exploding house on Bush. All of which has some wondering whether his involvement in private equity means Bush is going to remain on the sidelines in 2016. We can think of a handful of Republicans who hope the answer to that question is yes.
