What is the difference in its affect on muscle between free weights VS resistance bands?
I'm not an expert on muscle development, but to me it feels like the following:
Free weights = Individual reps have more or less identical resistance throughout the motion + gradual challenge towards the end of the set.
Resistance bands = Individual have more resistance towards the extreme end of the motion + gradual challenge towards the end of the set.
That gradual increase in resistance towards the extreme end of the motion helps build endurance/stamina (I think).
To me, when available, resistance bands gives a better workout. (But it's hard to find equivalent resistant band once you go past certain weights, that's the problem.)
Like you said you are no expert on muscle development.
And you are no star on clarification.
I will say this much
One advantage of free weights over resistance bands is ease ofprogressive overload.
With weights it's very easy to increase the resistance in a measurable increment (i.e. add 5lbs). It's a bit tougher to quantify with resistance bands, and thus makes it harder to plan progression
Free Weights, Cables & Resistance Bands
Free Weights. Free weights always produce force downward. To load muscles in various locations along the joint's range of motion the body has to be reoriented using different exercises. Force always stays the same, downward.
Triceps Exercises -examples of changing body position to emphasize different portions of the joint's Range of Motion for triceps.
Cables with Weights. Cables & pulleys always produce force in the direction of the cable which often changes during the exercise. Force magnitude stays the same, but direction changes.
Resistance Bands. Resistance bands, like cables always pull in the direction of the resistance band. Resistance bands change force magnitude significantly with length/stretch. I believe the force associated with a resistance band is usually listed for 100% lengthening or doubling of the band length. For example, a '25lb' resistance band will pull with 25 lbs force when its length is doubled (100% elongation). Force magnitude varies with length and direction changes. A short elastic band will vary force more than a long band as length is varied.
For all exercises the muscle does no work when it shortens in a direction perpendicular to the resistance force (for free weights & cables there's no work when the exercise does not move the weight up in gravity). For example, if you stand and curl a dumbbell at the very beginning when the arm is straight down at the side there is no resistance to flexing the arm - the weight moves forward but not up. For the curl also at the top there is little force required to finish flexing the arm. This is why certain body exercises are done with the body in different positions. For example, curling on a 45 d. bench causes the muscles to work much harder at the beginning of the curl, etc.
There are some hip exercises that I do with resistance band loops because they are idea. Clamshells, etc.
BTW, I think that I sometimes nick Therabands with my fingernails and a short length will soon break off the end.
I have a long Theraband tied near the microwave and do external shoulder rotation exercises while heating stuff. First, there's a light set to warm up and then a heavier set for conditioning. [Very heavy resistance is not recommended for rotator cuff conditioning.]
Another TW thread
Okay well free weights are for gaining real strength, power and size if you eat enough and work hard enough. The bands are great for working from different angles and are good for injury prevention, but not much for making strength and power gains.
Captain obvious pointing out the obvious.
Are rubber bands not more better as they are more functional
.. Mass and 'real' strength is not always good.
Resistance Band Loops 'Clamshells' for the Gluteus Medius
Here is an exercise to strengthen the gluteus medius - see the second video for "Hip Clamshells in the Neutral Position".
My physical therapist said to do the exercise with hips straight and to hold for 6 seconds. Do the exercise for about 2 minutes.
I'm sure there is some way to do this with free weights or cables but the resistance bands are ideal. The increase in resistance as the bands lengthen is a plus in my opinion.
This exercise strengthens the gluteus medius, an often neglected muscle important for balance and movement. I believe that this muscle helps maintain leg posture and reduces the risk of knee problems.
I remember that there are different types (sizes) of muscle fibers, and they are activated according to the force required. For example, if we have to lift 50lb weight, large muscle fibers will be activated whereas if small muscle fibers will be activated with less force (like resistance band).
And, I am curious as to what type of roles these different muscle fibers play role in our body. Perhaps, working on these smaller muscle fibers is more crucial in improving balance than on large muscle fibers?
Well it wasn't obvious to you, the one that obviously has no clue of strength training.
A muscle exists in the body. All muscles have a very poor mechanical advantage and have to produce very large forces to move joints and do work at distance. When you have a smaller muscle working with very poor leverage - say a deltoid in the shoulder - you do not need much resistance at the hand to exercise the muscle.
At first I saw resistance bands as inferior to heavier weight exercises, my ignorance. Now I see them as very useful and especially useful for the many smaller muscles that I've learned are important for performance and to reduce the risk of injury.
If you want to add muscle mass to your thighs then I would squat with free weights or do leg presses. If you want to condition your rotator cuffs for strength and endurance especially to prevent shoulder injuries then very light dumbbells or cables, or resistance bands are better than heavier weights. Also, there are exercise that if done with a lot of resistance or weight will bypass the smaller muscles (like the rotator cuffs) and instead use bigger muscles. That's counter productive.
(I believe that I tore my rotator cuff (supraspinatus) by doing heavy cable external rotations at the gym. 25lbs? Later I learned that external shoulder rotations for rotator cuffs should not be done with heavier weights.)
I don't know the type of muscle fiber in the various muscles. Some muscles have more of a support, hold position, isometric type function, the abs for example. Maybe these don't have as many fast twitch muscles. ?
I believe one of the best exercises to introduce yourself to the value of conditioning a smaller muscle with resistance bands is the Clamshell. The first reps are not bad but at 2 or 2.5 minutes you will know what your gluteus medius is. It is also fast to respond with results including some hypertrophy in 4-5 weeks.
Gluteus Medius function & the Trendelenburg test (pelvis stability on one leg)
You can buy a 5' Theraband length or a 12" loop. I use a 12" blue and red loop together for Clamshells. I also used to do 'firehydrants' with the same 12" loops, an exercise with detailed motions as specified by my physical therapist. Also 'Monsterwalks' using an 8" black loop (tied). I don't think that they sell black loops.
For rotator cuff external shoulder rotations I use a long yellow Theraband. I warm up with it less stretched where the force is low and then move away to increase the resistance. Because it is long the force can start out high and increase as I externally rotate my shoulder. I put a towel between my upper arm and body as usually recommended.
It does depend on what you are looking for, bands are great for being easier to use and also safer. Like I said they are great for injury prevention especially shoulder work, but free weights to me are much better if you really want to gain strength.
Plus the added benefit of balance is used a lot more with free weights, more muscles come into play to stabilize you through free weight exercises. That is why body movements with weight added are even better than regular free weight exercises.
I think this maybe the reason why resistance band may be more beneficial for tennis. It may lead to more well-developed muslce.
Over the years in this forum, there have been a few threads on exercises that improved their movement, and people have sworn by yoga over building their leg muscles. Yoga not increases your flexibility, but also improves your strengths, and I wondered how it is different from free-weights. Resistance bands seemed more comparable to yoga, so i thought I would start the thread.
Does it have to be one or the other?
Many think the Thrower's Ten exercises are the best exercises to hep prevent shoulder, arm, elbow and wrist injuries.
Is it mere coincidence that the Thrower's Ten combines the best of free weights and resistance bands?
Thrower's Ten Exercises http://www.muhlenberg.edu/pdf/main/athletics/athletic_training/throwers10.pdf
Deleted because someone was wise enough to talk some sense into me.
I'm not the person you're responding to nor have I addressed you before, but what exactly are you trying to accomplish here?
Not trying to be mean, but I just don't understand your logic. "I bench press 200lbs+ for sets, therefore I know something about strength training"
This is not a syllogistic statement, I am sure there are plenty of gym rats who don't actually know anything about strength training that can get to the same level. I will admit the fact that you've done so following shoulder surgeries is pretty awesome though (got any vids?).
There are after all plenty of people who don't do but "know" in the sense that they are educated. Don McCauley was an awful weightlifter, but is a great coach so he "knows" but was not good at "doing". Just as the converse exists
Moving on, what's the point of your pictures? What exactly does this prove?
To tlm's defense, I think he was just taking your initial post of "i'm no expert at muscle development" and taking it to an extreme. His "initial post" was not confrontational, he simply made a statement regarding bands versus free weights, you're the one that labeled it as stating the obvious leading to his rebuttal
If I touch a barbell, I add 50 lbs. of muscle.
How on earth do you manage to strike this delicate balance?
It's all about microloading with grains of sand. You have to be very careful, one grain over and you gain 5lbs overnight
I listen to logic and yours made sense, so therefore I have removed my post. But I will address tlm's statements:
1) Out of nowhere, he addressed me specifically in my attempt to be humble and hopefully helpful to OP's question. I don't have the scientific knowledge specifically on "muscle development", true. Do I know how to train? Yes, and I elaborated on from personal experience and results on the whole "free weights vs resistance bands" topic. Hence the disclaimer of "I'm not expert in blah blah", but here's what I observed.
2) By addressing me specifically without contribution to the thread, I'd like to hear the other reasons behind his initial post. My opinion on his initial post remains confrontational and ultimately unhelpful to OP's question (not dragging you into this mess).
3) Lastly, "doesn't know a thing about strength training", well ok. If you're going to say something like that specifically to another person, then let's hear your qualifications on the matter.
Do you sell microloading sand on your website? Maybe a DVD program to go with it? I'd love to buy your secret formula.
Evidently I didnt' scroll far enough to the earlier posts, I mistook his second post for his first which markedly confrontational
Of course I do! My microloading sand formula is the only one out there, the unfortunate truth about regular sand is that the grains are not uniform in size, thus you need my product to get the standardized grain size
My website has yet to be launched, but I am taking pre-orders now. Just PM me your Full name, credit card number and confirmation number on the back a long with your SSN, full address, and the answers to all potential security questions and we'll get it underway.
DVD is extra.
On a serious note, I recall reading an article that advertised a microloading product. It was literally a hollow apparatus that could be loaded on to barbells, and you added sand to it to increase the weight in ever so slight amounts. The logic behind it was to mimick the old old school barbells, which basically had globes on either end that was filled with something like sand for weight
Speaking of epic threads (which we weren't), did you ever manage to squat 2.5x your bodyweight? I know you were close.
Haha, never quite got there. I hit 182kg/401lbs which was something like 2.43xBW at the time. Since then I've majorly shifted focus to the snatch and clean and jerk, since relative to my squat they were atrocious and clearly their limiting factor was not my squat strength. I did front squat 2xBW though
Then you clearly have no idea about weight training
I was just curious. That's a pretty good lift for a non-drug / no-assistance squat IMO. I haven't seen too many guys that could do it. In fact, I've never seen any in person.
Clearly! After all, I was the guy saying a 2.5xbw squat was very possible, and shouldn't be a marker for "elite" level for athletes...granted my argument included doing low bar squats, which would make things easier
You should get out more. My coach has done a 3xBW squat raw, drug free (302kg weighing 100kg, followed by 272kgx5). Of course he's crazy, and has not beaten that in over a year and a half due to injuries and such (although he did do 320kg with knee wraps)
Where's Captain Assbivous? I really want to hear his/her theories on actin filament, and the correlation between exercise and the transcriptional, translational, and the subsequent activation of myosin heavy chain kinases. I'm a genomic stability/cancer biologist by training, I know, shame on me for not researching the mechanisms revolving around muscle development. But that's why we have a$$holes, I meant folks like you right?
Let's get together and submit a publication, the topic has been largely overlooked by the field. You should write a review to start. But we've got to aim low and go for fitness magazines, cause I'm pretty sure leading scientific journals such as Nature, Science, and Cell will just reject your crap.
Damn good job. I tried and only got to 405x3 high bar at 190 before mono came back. Hate low bar squatting, always felt uncomfortable. That front squat is ridiculous Wish I took the time to do them, would rather deadlift.
OT, the way I see it
Free weights - stabilizers and lead to better strength easier for progressive overload
Resistance Bands/Machines - More time under tension so more potential for hypertrophy if progressive overload is used
Always bothered my elbow, but the leverage advantage was undeniable. When I switched I was at 290x5 low bar, took me a month or two to get 300x1 high bar, huge difference.
One major problem with resistance bands every rep r u getting stronger? or the band getting weaker?
I've done both or I guess have used 3 different lifting methods. I've used free weights, TRX which i suppose would be similar to the resistance bands, and resistance bands. From what I experienced, they all can provide quality workouts, hitting different muscles.
TRX (and gymnastic training) is actually closer to free weights, as you are working against gravity, whereas the resistance bands would be providing resistance elastically
Sorry but trx is nothing like lifting free weights for strength. Plus most of the trx movements can be done without the straps and save 300.00. Bands are good for out of shape women classes and PT that's it.
For strength no, but the likening of the TRX to resistance bands was mistaken. it is MORE like free weights than it is bands due to the nature of the resistance. Are they interchangeable? Of course not, however a lot of the movements have a parallel in lifting weights (rows, push ups, flys etc), but the nature of the resistance is the same. At certain parts of the movement there can be a leverage advantage
How much trx training have you done? Most of the movements done without the straps are not near as effective. I feel trx training is very good and is excellent when combined with free weights.
Many of the movements are very similar to weight training and some are better because of the added balance that is involved.
I checked these out back in 2005 when they first came out. Back in 2008 I took a workshop now TRX offers 6 different workshops. It uses your body's angle against gravity. Problem is not all the movements directly oppose gravity. It's just like anything else in the fitness trainer's toolbox. Another new thing to make out of shape and in shape people feel silly. It's more like learning a new skill.TRX Suspension Trainer Cons
The biggest downside of this product may be the price. If spending $189.95 on a set of sturdy straps and anchors (along with the extras) doesn't make you bat an eye, then go for it. If nothing else, your workouts will be new, and you will engage muscles in a new way.
Anchor Points
Anchoring the system isn't a simple thing for those working out a home. Yes, you can use a door, but it seems to limit some of the exercises. Anchoring the system overhead allows more freedom of movement, but not everyone has (or wants) a great overhead anchor bolt in their living room.
Will the Novelty Wear off?
I wonder about the sustainability of the routines. It would be nice to hear how people feel about the TRX System after they've been using it for several months to see if it's just another fun, new fad that grows old over time. I've only done a short demo routine on the TRX, and I don't own one. It's hard for me to say if it would become stale or would become a core part of my training routine over time.Proponents of suspension training argue that it develops core body strength, as well as joint and muscular stability,[7] reducing the chance of injury.
Some sports scientists have expressed concern that weaker individuals may not have the core stability or joint integrity to use the system safely and effectively. I see in the gym alot of chicks using this and bands in classes. For me nothing beats freeweights. Alot of these new toys and training just keeps the the trainer and clients from getting bored. The trainer takes a workshop learns a new training shill and teaches it to the client who now shows off his or her new skill set.
I feel trx is a waste of time and money but some people need to try the lastest training system. Bands are great for PT rehab and girls in a spin class. Iam waiting for memebers to bring in those heavy chains and put them on their bars while bench pressing. After that will be the huge tire flipping, hitting the tire with a sledgehammer and the huge rope workouts aka mma. for me all I need is a barbell and some plates, some dumbells a pair of running shoes.
Bro, you gotta get that variable resistance!
After all, ALL the guys at WESTSIDE-****ING-BARBELL do it!!! And Louie Simmons is the most logical, intelligent, sane individual in the world of strength
TRX is a waste of time though
I like using gymnastic rings, which are similar in function to what TRX is trying to do. I love them.
But your point about finding a place to anchor them is quite valid, especially for the home user. I have a great place. Some guy built a power station out of solid iron (I think the thing probably weighs 300 lbs. or more; I can hang off the back doing front or back levers and it stays perfectly stable; a beast of a stand) and his family sold it to me for $50 through the classified when he died. But otherwise, I have no idea where I would secure those things.
The rings I got are $60. Well worth it IMO.
Another great piece of equipment are parallettes:
Wish I could find stall bars for cheap. Anyone know where I could find some?
I agree TRX is over priced that is why I made my own for about $30. But I do like some of the movements, like I said I combine TRX with free weights. I will do a set of dead lifts and then use the straps to do what I call reverse pushups. This is were you put your legs on a bench and pull yourself up towards the ceiling, a very good back movement.
There are many TRX exercises that are very good and can be combined with free weight movements, like after a set of bench presses do the strap pushups, same with after a set of barbell curls go right to TRX curls. So in other words I don't do just TRX training I combine it in my free weight workout. Which I feel is very good for a change up and there is more core and balance used with TRX.
I do agree with you about the bands they are really for PT more than anything. That is why I found it humorous for someone to ask about free weight VS bands, because there is no comparison. I really think that the best form of training is free weights, but even better is weighted body movements. Like weighted pull ups, push ups, and dips.
I cracked up laughing when one dude bought and was using gymnast rings and was showing off. I was the club manager so I told him u can't use those here he was sad. I also laugh with those neck gear that holds plates and the tools who need to do weighted dips and try pullups with a 100 lb dumbell give me a break.
I hear ya, I keep it real simple deadlifts, bentover rows, clean and press, stepups and bench.
I just have a small amount of time to lift then run so I deadlift, bent over rows, clean and press, stepups and bench then go for a 8 mile run. If u have 2-3 hrs then do core, speed, quickness,agility balance, poly, and cuff pt work and lots of crazy abs. Maybe just do sport specfic traing for your sport. I talk to these people doing all these crazy moves. Guess what all of them are not training for anything. Some trainer or book showed them these moves and now they like to show other members they got skills. It's a good way to meet people at the gym. Most people are bored working out so this keeps them entertained and makes me smile too!!
Both have there place, I use free weights ,from 1lb up.
Here is a video of me hitting, this was today at the age of 57. I think this would show I know something about training.
What am I supposed to be impressed with? Bad form? Anemic lateral movements? Hitting balls beyond the age of 50 that half of the people on these forums can already do?
Not bad for your age, but not impressive enough to be differentiated from those who just kept playing regardless of their age.
Still don't know what your deal is with me. But hey, whatever helps you sleep at night, go for it stranger.
Look dude I came on to strong with you about your first comment comparing free weights to bands. I took it like you were saying that the bands could do what free weights can, which to me they are not in the same league. So for that I must apologize, I mistook your comment.
My tennis skills are not that good, but I did not learn to play until I was 44 years old. But my example was to show my conditioning and training experience not ball striking skills.
But I guess you know a lot of guys my age that are in much better shape and have a lot better movement than me. Thats funny because in the 2 clubs I play at that is nowhere near the case.
Separate names with a comma.

Opening Day filled with firsts for Mets lefty Rice
By Anthony DiComo / MLB.com
NEW YORK -- Scott Rice's 14-year slog through the lower levels of baseball officially ended Monday, when the left-hander slipped on a uniform in a big league clubhouse and, for the first time, stood as a player on a big league field. He finally fulfilled his childhood dream in the ninth, striking out a pair of Padres in a scoreless inning.
It was mop-up duty in an 11-2 win, the pitching equivalent of grunt labor. It was also one of the most significant moments of Rice's life.
"I just hope he absorbed the whole thing," manager Terry Collins said. "I hope he stood for a second on the mound in that wind and just took a deep breath and said, 'OK. I'm here now. Let's have some fun with it.'"
Fourteen previous professional seasons saw Rice make stops in Bluefield, W.V.; Ottawa, Ontario; Frisco, Texas, and many others, coming close to the Majors several times but never quite making it. That changed Friday, when the Mets announced they would carry Rice as a second left-hander in their bullpen.
Over the weekend, the 31-year-old Rice received countless phone calls and text messages of congratulations, but could not savor them for too long. Preparing for the Padres, he said, was always on his mind.
So while Rice admitted to some jitters upon jogging out to the Citi Field mound, he did not soak in the moment in quite the way that Collins envisioned. Rice figured he would be able to reflect on it better in the hours after the game, or perhaps the next day, before reporting back to work on Wednesday.
"Once the batter gets in there, it's baseball," said Rice, who plans to deliver the game ball to his father. "It was kind of what I expected in a way. It was baseball."

The decision Friday to ground the squad "was not one that was made lightly," athletic association spokesman Steve McClain said in a statement emailed to The Sun.
Cory Stark spent his game days at the University of Florida stirring up school spirit from the sidelines.
A 2010 alumnus and former Gator cheerleader, he said he was stunned to hear that cheerleaders last week were told they no longer could perform acrobatic stunts and tumble during games. The cheerleaders' grounding came one day before the last home football game for seniors and three days after an accident involving an Orlando Magic cheerleader at a pro basketball game.
"I don't think it's a fair move," he said. "I think it is an extreme reaction."
After being blasted on Twitter all weekend for the grounding, the UF athletic association on Monday explained its decision.
The decision Friday to ground the squad "was not one that was made lightly," athletic association spokesman Steve McClain said in a statement emailed to The Sun.
"Instead of waiting for a tragedy to occur, we are taking a proactive stance to protect the cheerleaders, who represent the University of Florida with enthusiasm and class, and allow them to lead cheers at Gator games for years to come," he said.
Cheerleaders linked the decision to the accident last week at an Orlando Magic game. After losing her footing on a teammate's shoulders and falling on her head, a Magic cheerleader fractured three vertebrae and broke a rib.
UF cheerleaders turned to Twitter to protest the decision to ground their team, using the hashtag #UngroundUFCheer.
"It's a sad day in UF cheer history that we will no longer have the privilege to perform stunts and tumbling for Gator fans #ungroundUFcheer," cheerleader Haley Violetta tweeted.
"UF cheerleaders are no longer allowed to stunt and tumble … first we aren't a real sport now we are too dangerous? #what #UngroundUFCheer," cheerleader Liz Garcia tweeted.
Senior cheerleader Tarin Moses tweeted Saturday, "Woke up this morning thinking that everything that happened yesterday didn't. Can't believe I can't tumble out the team for my last home game."
UF isn't the first university to ban its cheerleader squad from doing acrobatic stunts. In 2006, Oregon State announced it was eliminating such stunts in the wake of a high-profile injury in which a Southern Illinois cheerleader fell and sustained a broken neck.
While UF hasn't had that level of accident in recent years, a Gator cheerleader tore her Achilles tendon last year during a routine, according to Onlygators.com.
McClain said in his statement that Gator cheerleading is not a varsity competitive sport but instead is a support group intended to generate spirit at university events.
"We understand that the modern day culture of cheerleading encourages acrobatic stunts which require tremendous athletic skill," he said. "The reality, however, is that the danger associated with these types of stunts is simply not worth the risk to the cheerleaders or to the University of Florida."
In addition to the cheer squad that appears at sporting events, UF also has a competitive cheerleading club that participates in national competitions. Ashley Engelbert, president of the club, said she views injuries as part of any sport.
"If someone blows out their knee in football, they're not going to ban tackling," she said.
As a staff member with the Universal Cheerleading Association, Engelbert teaches cheerleading camps for high school students. She said dangerous moves have been banned if found to be linked to injuries, such as the "double down" dismount in which a tossed cheerleader twists twice before being caught.
"In all honesty, each year everything gets safer and safer," she said.
Peggy Meaders-Johnson, coach of Gainesville High School's cheerleading squad, said her squad follows the rules for appropriate moves, noting that where cheerleaders are performing factors into what they do.
"We don't do as much stunting on the basketball court for safety reasons," she said.
TiAnn Stark, Cory's mother and head cheerleading coach at Newberry High School, said she was extremely disappointed with UF's decision.
Newberry's squad is the only one to compete in Alachua County, she said, and coaches are certified by the American Cheerleaders Association to train cheerleaders how to stunt safely.
"There is no plan to ground our cheerleaders," she said, adding that she believes cheerleading should be treated like any other sport where, even after training and practice, there is inherent risk of injury.
"You don't see them grounding the gymnastics team," she said. "(Cheerleaders) don't tumble on a 4-inch-wide beam."

First, Torchwood became available from Netflix today, but as you might guess "very long wait" is the message in my queue. And the Doctor, we get him like Torchwood a year after airing. This is what caused the American Revolution. Last time the Brits sold us stale, year old, overpriced, overtaxed tea. My ancestors in Edenton were the first to protest followed by a less gentile response up in Boston.
But there is hope even if that hope comes in snips (at the moment I'm promised).
From a friend:
Tomorrow morning we are officially announcing that MySpace has inked its first global network deal-a worldwide content partnership with the BBC.
Under the partnership, the best BBC video content will be made available online globally via MySpaceTV. MySpace users will be able to visit and subscribe to the BBC Worldwide's MySpaceTV video channel in order to view, embed and virally share BBC content across the MySpace community.
Now the press release:
The Mighty Boosh, Robin Hood, Top Gear Comes to the Global Social Networking Platform
LONDON and LOS ANGELES—January 24, 2008—BBC Worldwide, the commercial arm of the BBC and MySpace, the world's largest social networking platform, today announced the launch of a ground-breaking partnership to bring new and archived short form BBC content to MySpaceTV. The announcement marks the first global agreement of this type between MySpaceTV and a major broadcaster.
Under the partnership, the best BBC video content will be made available online globally via MySpaceTV, the social networking site's popular new video platform. MySpace users will be able to visit and subscribe to the BBC Worldwide's MySpaceTV video channel in order to view, embed and virally share BBC content across the MySpace community.
Under the deal, current and archived video content from BBC Worldwide programmes will be available on MySpaceTV including some classic moments in TV: Robbie Williams and Russell Crowe being interviewed by Parkinson, Jeremy Clarkson and his team on Top Gear and some breathtaking clips from David Attenborough's natural history series. Also available will be some gripping moments from classic series such as Doctor Who, Robin Hood and Torchwood in addition to some hilarious sketches from The Catherine Tate show, Red Dwarf and The Mighty Boosh.
Simon Danker, Director, Digital Media, BBC Worldwide, said: "MySpace is recognised as the largest social networking site and this partnership continues our strategy of putting BBC content right at the heart of where audiences spend their time and watch video online. The breadth of content we bring to this deal means that MySpace users will easily be able to find a favourite clip to put on their profiles and share with their friends, whether that is a Top Gear stunt or something a bit different from The Mighty Boosh. With the global nature of the deal, this is a great opportunity to put the best shows from the BBC in front of new audiences."
BBC Worldwide content will be immediately available across MySpaceTV's 27 international territories and nearly 110 million global active users. Localized versions of MySpaceTV are available in seven different languages across the UK, Japan, Australia, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Canada, Netherlands, New Zealand, Latin America, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, and Austria.
The deal represents a further move by BBC Worldwide, the BBC's commercial arm, to broaden the reach of its content to new channels and outlets, to engage with audiences around the world and to promote content which will be available on Kangaroo[1] in the UK and BBC Worldwide's commercial media player internationally.
"Shows like Top Gear and Doctor Who are enormous hits whether you live near the white cliffs of Dover or in Dover, Delaware," said Jeff Berman, EVP of Marketing and Content for MySpace.

Virginia Beach LPN Programs - VANurseGroups.com's Free Virginia Beach, VA LPN Training Program Directory
LPN courses are being offered at vocational schools, trade schools and private LPN schools in Virginia Beach, VA.
Virginia Beach LPN courses - online & campus-based programs are available.
LPN Programs in Virginia Beach, Virginia
Although many people think that to be an integral part of the healthcare industry an individual must have a college degree, but this is not entirely true. Licensed practical nurses are not required to have a college degree, and they make a huge impact on lives every day.
Online vs. Traditional
In Virginia Beach, individuals have many choices when it comes to LPN programs. The two major categories of LPN programs are traditional classroom programs and online programs. When looking into becoming an LPN, it is important for an individual to first decide which of these types of programs best suit his or her learning style.
Traditional Virginia Beach LPN programs, while often inconvenient to students who do not live near an LPN course or have busy schedules, often many benefits to students as well. For example, students who have trouble staying motivated to do schoolwork often benefit from the more rigid schedule of a traditional LPN program as opposed to an online program. Many students also prefer learning through live lectures instead of by learning through the digital presentations and textbooks used in online programs.
Online LPN programs have many benefits of their own over traditional classroom LPN programs in Virginia Beach. For example, assignments can generally be turned 24 hours a day, which is great for students who work best at night or who are busy during the day. These classes typically do not require students to commute to campus, which is a huge benefit for many students.
After Completing the Training
To become eligible for licensure by examination, an individual must have completed a PN state-approved education program that provided at least the minimum of 400 hours of supervised direct client care. After passing the LPN course, the individual must register for and pass the NCLEX-PN.
Which Virginia Beach schools offer LPN programs?
Virginia Beach LPN Progams (campus-based programs as well as online LPN programs) are medical training programs. LPN programs are typically offered at vocational schools, technical schools, state colleges, nursing universities, online LPN programs, and other higher education institutions.
The best LPN school for you is the one that makes sense for you and serves your needs. Many two year colleges that offer associate degrees also offer LPN programs. Exact class size and clinical requirements will vary by each college offering the program.
How do I become an LPN in Virginia?
You must complete a practical nurse program and pass the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCLEX-PN) exam to be certified and receive your required LPN licensure.
How long will my LPN Course be?
Most LPN programs take 1 year to one and a half years complete. That's a 12 month to 18 month training program. Some nursing schools offer LPN programs which will qualify you for certification after only 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 months of class.
Do I need to complete an LPN program before I go to college to get an RN Degree?
No. Completing LPN training is not necessary before you can get your RN license. An accredited RN degree can be completed in as little as two years.
What are typical LPN Pre-Reqs?
As all schools have different academic requirements to get accepted into their LPN program, Virginia LPN schools are no exception. You can expect an entrance exam or at least a prerequisite check when you submit your application to determine your eligibility. There may be additional academic requirements also.
At the very least, most schools require applicants to have a High school diploma / GED. You also must get accepted to the college that you are applying to.
Financial aid, including nursing scholarships or federal grant money, may be available to you as a new students enrolling in Virginia Beach LPN classes. For more information, check with the Admissions office at the program you are applying to.
Are CNA to LPN Programs Available?
Yes, some vocational schools in Virginia offer CNA to LPN programs. Usually, a CNA to LPN program will last one year. CNAs who Enroll in one of these programs will build upon their existing knowledge to learn the necessary skills to work at the LPN level.

Men's College Cup
Advancing to its first NCAA championship game, Wake will face No. 10 Ohio State Sunday to decide the title. OSU, in its first visit to the national semifinals, edged Massachusetts 1-0 in tonight's other semifinal, using reserve striker Eric Edwards' goal in the 53rd minute.
Sunday's championship match will be at 3 p.m. (ET) and televised by ESPN2.
WFU (21-2-2) jumped ahead of Virginia Tech (14-4-5), its Atlantic Coast Conference foe, off a free kick deep in the right corner. Junior midfielder Sam Cronin hit the ball to the near post to Tracy, who had shaken his defender and was completely unmarked. Without a Hokie within five yards of him, Tracy elevated high and drilled a six-yard header inside the right post before VT junior goalkeeper Markus Aigner could even move, making it 1-0 with 50:19 elapsed.
The direct kick was awarded after Deamon Deacons reserve sophomore attacker Zack Schilawski beat VT freshman defender James Shupp, only to be grabbed and taken down. Shupp was issued a yellow card.
"We didn't mark off like we should have," Aigner said. "It was a little tough to be focused for 90 minutes. They have very good forwards and they are really good scorers. They don't miss chances like that."
Cronin and Schilawski also contributed to the Tracy tally that put WFU up 2-0 with the Hokies' back-line again caught flat-footed on a set piece. Cronin drove a long free kick from behind the center stripe to the top left center of the penalty area where Tracy again demonstrated his exceptional ability to jump. He went high over junior defender Alexander Baden to head the ball to three yards above the right corner of the six-yard box.
Showing nice agility, Schilawski headed the ball back to Tracy, who had ranged to his right. Beating an inert Shupp, who misjudged the looping header, to the ball, Tracy used his first touch to catch the ball on one hop and nail a low right-footer just inside the right post from 15 yards away for a 2-0 advantage with 7:19 remaining.
"That was another free kick. We practice those a lot in practice," Tracy said, "My number one job is to head it across. Luckily, that time Zack Schilawski happened to be in the right spot. He did a great job of heading the ball back into space."
Tracy might have had a hat trick, but Aigner made a sensational diving save to his right on his blast targeted for the left corner of the net in the 21st minute.
"This was a great result against a very good team in Virginia Tech," WFU coach Jay Vidovich said. "Everybody knows we're very familiar with each other, throughout the season playing against each other. It was a very good game. In the second half, I think the guys really rose to the challenge. We asked them to win some critical moments and they put more of a stamp on the game. We got too stretched out in the first half."
Tech desperately fought back and probably should have been awarded a penalty kick with five minutes remaining. Junior striker Robert Edmans ran past WFU freshman defender Ike Opara to get to a long bouncing pass that Wake senior back Julian Valentin failed to clear. Valentin grabbed Edmans from behind to prevent him from getting off a good shot before senior goalkeeper Brian Edwards arrived, but no call was forthcoming.
Tech wasted a free kick from the top left of the penalty area with 3:35 on the clock. Then, with 98 seconds remaining, defender Marcus Reed skied and sent a header from the top of the box off the crossbar after Edwards was caught too far of his goal-line. With that, the Hokies' hopes expired.
"In retrospect, the better team won tonight," VT coach Oliver Weiss said. "Wake Forest did enough to get the goal that decides the game in our sport. They played great defense and toughed it out. When you score goals and play great defense, you have a chance to win the game."
Tech squandered a prime opportunity to go ahead in the 13th minute. Junior forward Patrick Nyarko beat a defender to run onto a long pass, then sidestepped Edwards who had charged out of his box. Nyarko stumbled as he caught up to the ball in the right side of the box, allowing Edwards to retreat, but then laid a perfect centering pass in front of the charging Edmans. Eight yards from the center of the net and with Edwards out of the picture, Edmans was a step late getting to the ball and drove his left-footer far over the crossbar.
The Hokies did not have another chance as good until they trailed by two. "The ball was way ahead of me," Nyarko said. "When I went around the goalie. I lost my step and tripped and got back up. By the time I looked up, there were two defenders in the goal. When I got the ball and tried to attack, I saw a different look this time. They always had me covered and they didn't give me the outside. "

Jackson Rathbone in ProActiv Commercial
Continuing the Jackson love!
After Melanie tipped me off, I had to look for Jackson's Proactiv commercial. Only found a non-English one, but it makes watching this commercial even funnier; the only words I understand are Jessica and Simpson. Thanks to Melanie for the heads-up!

San Francisco Giants P Guillermo Mota suspended 100 games
So how do you keep you're Mota running? Apparently with clenbuterol.
The San Francisco Giants took another hit on Monday when reliever Guillermo Mota was suspended 100 games for testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug.
Mota tested positive for clenbuterol, which is usual prescribed to patients suffering from breathing disorders such as asthma.
However it has also been used as a performance-enhancing drug, which is how it landed on MLB's banned list.
But it's a banned drug for aiding athletes in high-octane type of sports. Here's a list of athletes who have been punished for clenbuterol used
Spanish cyclist Alberto Contador
U.S. swimmer Jessica Hardy
Polish sprint canoer Adam Serocynski
Members of the Mexican national soccer team
And now Guillermo Mota. He doesn't quite fit the profile, does he?
Both Contador and the Mexican soccer players were later exonerated when it was that clenbuterol was ingested via contaminated food or food supplements.
Perhaps, this will be Mota's line of defense in any appeal.
Mota served a 50-game suspension for a performance-enhancing substance violation while with the Mets in 2006, although we didn't find what the substance was back then.
Mota was 0-1 with a 5.06 ERA with 9 strikeouts and 4 walks in 10.2 innings this season. But four of the six earned runs allowed occurred in one outing in Colorado on April 11.

Let's be fair: this isn't an academic forum and I don't have access to any suitable library or JSTOR to find articles and statistics to support my points, so let's understand this conversation will have to remain at coffee lounge levels.Your generalizations are, to be polite, wildly implausible and quite reactionary absent such substance.
Incidentally, I'm well aware my opinions here will be unpopular in this community, so I don't expect much support for what I'm saying. I anticipate a lot of hostility actually, which is fine.

Family SportRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
|Submitted By:
Three brothers share a family sport:
A non-stop marathon
The oldest one is fat and short
And trudges slowly on
The middle brother's tall and slim
And keeps a steady pace
The youngest runs just like the wind,
Speeding through the race
"He's young in years, we let him run,"
The other brothers say
"'Cause though he's surely number one,
He's second, in a way."

Posted by zaya on Oct 05, 2007
Could have been a clever riddle, but there was no explanation of what we're solving so I'm quite disappointed. Where did it say to explain what the 3 brothers represented, versus why the youngest could be considered "second".
Posted by hradilv on Oct 05, 2007
Wow!! Excellent teaser - did you write it yourself? Well done! Thanks!

Posted by wandering_goat on Oct 05, 2007
Great teaser! How can people not understand this? They're brothers because they're all closely related, living in the same area, joined together, etc. The youngest is "second" because he's the second hand.
Posted by romans1_16 on Oct 05, 2007
I had to read it twice, but I got it. It was really fun and it took a bit of thinking so I absolutely loved it! Good job.

Posted by zembobo on Dec 16, 2008
You know why it's hard to find the answer? Because the bloke forgot to ask the question...I'm sorry, did I miss the question? Good rhyme, but the only way I was able to figure out the question...was to look at the answer!!

How are they 'oldest', 'middle' and 'youngest'? Aren't they all the same age? Actually, if you want to get really technical about it, from the beginning of time seconds have been around before hours have; 3599 of them actually.
Posted by gaylewolf on Oct 05, 2010
Terrific puzzle!
I didn't get it, but once I saw the answer I realized how very clever it was!
Thanks for a good one - well done!

As I recall what I learned about the history of clockmaking, the earliest clocks had only an hour hand. Minute hands came along some centuries later, followed by second hands as a more recent innovation.
Posted by wordmama on Oct 05, 2010
I enjoyed this teaser immensely, especially the getting it part!! The first time I read it, I also thought, "The question's missing!" Next time through, the youngest going fastest but also second led me to the clock and then the other descriptions fell into place! Loved it! Congrats, grilled cheese!
Posted by elentir on Oct 05, 2010
OK, that makes a little more sense then. Thanks Talanpoe!
Posted by sunnybonghits on Oct 05, 2010
ummm.....where's the riddle? this is a poem. i also don't understand why the hands of the clock have different ages? a nice poem, but a terrible riddle.
Posted by ttam007 on Oct 05, 2010
I thought we were guessing the sport, since that was in the title. A question would have really helped, i.e., Who are we?
I like the riddle overall. It was well written and doesn't have a dozen different answers. Though the answer is obvious once you know it, that in my mind is a hallmark of a good riddle.
Posted by precious1026 on Oct 05, 2010
Wandering Goat, explained the idea of this Teaser in such simple terms that this Teaser is quite brilliant and funny. I like Teaser like this one. I didn't get the answer, but its nice to see that so many did get the correct answer. My answer was Way off. I thought he came in second because running like the wind only gives you first place when there is Wind, but without the Wind, as the Air is calm,then he gets second place. So what, I told you I was way off. By the way, the Title "Family Sports" makes the Teaser even more believable. I am Out---->

I did not get it, but I liked it. Clever!
Posted by eighsse on Oct 05, 2013
Loved this one! Great job grilledcheese. A little on the easy side, but that's good. Very well-written, a true poem. Great outside-the-box clues. A lot of thought went into this -- what percentage of teasers on this site can you say that about?
Posted by cutebug on Oct 05, 2013
The last line gave it away. Well written and enjoyable.

//Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a QUESTION that NEEDS answering. //
This "riddle" would have been better if the question is clear.
Posted by WilliamXu on May 04, 2015
The riddle should have asked us what to identify.
Posted by Babe on Oct 05, 2016
Back in 2013 I was content with it, but his time, like some of the others I did not know what we were supposed to be looking for. Usually the author will say "what is it?" or "who is it? or "what am I?"This time we were given nothing to know which way to go. As a teaser it was very good, except for that!'

What does "family sport" have to do with anything?

I love this riddle. It reads so nicely, almost poetically. It's just wonderful.

Fabulous. This should be in a published collection: a standard that everyone should read and enjoy. Amazingly good.

Didn't get this one at all. I was trying to figure out a sport. It made sense after I read the answer. A very good riddle after it made sense to me.

Sandberg hopes to copy Red Sox path to postseason
By Paul Casella / MLB.com
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- At this time last year, the Red Sox were the ones preparing to put an overwhelmingly disappointing season behind them. Boston was coming off a last-place finish in the American League East in 2012 when the Sox went just 69-93 -- their worst record since 1965.
Just a little more than seven months later, the Red Sox celebrated their third World Series title in the last 10 seasons.
It's with that in mind that Phillies skipper Ryne Sandberg was looking at Saturday night's Grapefruit League opponent as an inspiration for his own club. Philadelphia has missed the postseason each of the last two seasons, after winning the National League East five straight years from 2007-11. But Sandberg is hoping to guide the club back to the playoffs in his first full season at the helm.
"It can happen that quickly with some new faces, with guys having good years, with some surprise years from guys," Sandberg said. "And then getting on a roll to get the magical wins or luck games, whatever you want to call them. All those things can come together quickly."
For the defending World Series champion Red Sox, improved pitching and health keyed a 28-win improvement from 2012 to '13. Like the Phillies are hoping to do this season, the Red Sox made their turnaround while mostly keeping together their long-time core players.
"A season like they had," Sandberg said, "it makes a lot of teams optimistic, including ourselves."
Lee aces another test in bid for Opening Day
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Though manager Ryne Sandberg hasn't gone as far as to officially declare Cliff Lee the Phillies' Opening Day starter, the veteran left-hander solidified his already strong case to receive that nod on Saturday night against the Red Sox, when he turned in his best outing of the spring against the defending champions.
Lee, making his fourth Grapefruit League start, tossed five shutout innings in a 4-1 victory over the Red Sox at JetBlue Park, easily surpassing his previous long this spring of 3 2/3 innings. He limited Boston to just three hits in the process, while striking out three and walking one.
"I felt good. I felt like I could keep going, too," Lee said. "At this point in spring, to throw all my pitches for strikes and feel strong at the end like I could keep going, is definitely a good thing. It makes me feel good about where I'm at and moving forward."
With Cole Hamels unavailable to start the season, Lee seems to be the obvious choice to get the call for Philadelphia's March 31 opener in Arlington against the Rangers. Sandberg said prior to Saturday's game that he's still "a couple days" away from making that decision, but at the same time praised Lee for his ability to set the tone for the rest of the staff.
"When Cliff's on the mound and pitching that day, it raises everyone's expectations to win that baseball game," Sandberg said. "It can have a ripple effect. I think, just like hitting, pitching can be contagious. Wins create momentum and then it's about the other guys going out there and giving us a quality start."
As for Lee, an Opening Day start this season would be just the second of his career. The other came in 2009 with the Indians, also in Arlington.
"I can't really comment on that until he makes that announcement, but yeah [if it happens] that means they feel like you're giving them a good chance to win," Lee said. "If I happen to be the guy, I'd be honored to take the ball on the first day and go out there and try to give us a chance to win."
Lee certainly stated his case for the assignment under the lights on Saturday night, retiring eight straight batters at one point, while mixing in all of his pitches throughout the night.
"Really, everything was working good," Lee said. "I was throwing curveballs for strikes early in the count, had a good changeup, throwing cutters for strikes, locating fastballs. So really everything was right where I wanted it to be."
Lee ran into some trouble in the fourth, when he allowed a leadoff double to Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia and later issued a rare, two-out walk to Daniel Nava to extend the frame. Yet one batter later, with runners on the corners and two outs, Lee escaped the jam by forcing Xander Bogaerts into an inning-ending groundout.
Though Lee had thrown 65 pitches at that point -- Sandberg said prior to the game that he wanted to see Lee throw 70-75 -- the southpaw returned for one more inning. Lee needed just nine more pitches to retire the Red Sox in order, capping off his best Grapefruit League outing this year.
Adams close to return after second 'pen session
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Reliever Mike Adams moved another step closer to game action on Saturday, successfully completing his second live bullpen session.
Adams, who is continuing to recover from shoulder surgery last July 31, pitched against Minor Leaguers Jim Murphy and Brock Stassi at Bright House Field. An upbeat Adams reported no setbacks and said this is the best he's felt throughout the lengthy rehab process.
"It felt great. That went great. That was probably the best I've thrown to this day," Adams said. "Now I just have to keep building from that. I think I figured out a couple things mechanically, and that made a huge difference in how I felt and how the ball was coming out."
Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg was on hand to watch Adams' session and he seemed just as encouraged as Adams about the right-hander's performance.
"I liked his velocity, I liked his stuff," Sandberg said. "His location and command was very, very good."
It wasn't all positive for Sandberg, though.
"I was too close to the net and a foul ball came back and caught me above the eye," said Sandberg, as he lowered his sunglasses to reveal a swollen cut above his right eye. "That was the one thing I didn't like, but he looked real good."
For Adams, it was another milestone on his long road back after being limited to just 28 games -- and missing the final 92 -- in his debut season with the Phillies last year.
He posted ERAs of 1.76 and 1.47 in 2010 and '11, respectively, before posting a 3.27 mark in his first full season with the Rangers in '12. Adams then went 1-4 with a 3.96 ERA in his injury-shortened campaign last season, but is confident he's on the verge of regaining his top-end form.
"It's just a good feeling right now," Adams said. "Today was a huge confidence-booster. Not only for how I felt, but for the way everything was coming out and the way I was locating. My next one can't come fast enough."
As for when that next one will come, Adams is hoping to pitch in an actual game on Wednesday. Sandberg agreed that Adams is close to seeing game action, but added that he still needs to talk to pitching coach Bob McClure about setting an exact date.
Adams is expected to open the season on the disabled list, but the righty is hoping to return to the Phillies' bullpen in the season's opening month.
"He'd be a big piece late in the game, obviously," Sandberg said. "He's an eighth-inning type of pitcher and, what I saw today, he showed that stuff. So he'd give us a big lift for sure."
Pettibone targeting mid-April return to rotation
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Following a live bullpen session earlier this week, right-hander Jonathan Pettibone said he thinks he could potentially be ready to return by the time the Phillies need a fifth starter.
Thanks to two off-days early in the season, April 14 would be the first time the Phillies would need a fifth starter.
On Saturday, manager Ryne Sandberg expressed that same cautious optimism, though he said it's a long way from a sure thing at this point.
"He's doing fine, he's progressing real well," Sandberg said. "He could be real close to that April 14 game."
Pettibone, who suffered a setback last month when he experienced inflammation in his shoulder, is expected to see game action next week. For the time being, with both Pettibone and Cole Hamels sidelined until at least mid-April, Jeff Manship and David Buchanan appear to be leading the battle for that fifth starter role, if needed.

HUB Program helps businesses owned by minorities, women
Historically Underutilized Business, or HUB, certifications can help minority- and women-owned businesses grow.
Many minority- and women-owned businesses have an opportunity to grow their businesses by adding a HUB certification to their business plans. As a HUB, businesses can gain opportunities through Texas' procurement process, which offers more exposure and more chances to obtain bids or contracts with the state.
As an owner of a firm that sells marketing products and services, Cathy Frazier said there are benefits to becoming HUB certified.
"[For] the Super Bowl, that was the only way I was able to get chosen to do the speaker gifts," she said.
In 2011, Frazier's BizSource Marketing was one of about 900 businesses that participated in the NFL's Emerging Business Program, which not only spotlighted minority- and women-owned businesses in the North Texas area but also allowed them to nab lucrative NFL contracts when the Super Bowl came to Arlington that year.
"That was probably how I met a lot of people, a lot of players," Frazier said. "I was interviewed by the NFL panel, [and] I would not have had that opportunity if I was not HUB certified."
Frazier's business has been open since 2000, and she acquired her HUB certification seven years ago. Frazier renews her HUB certification every four years as required by the state. She also makes sure her information is on the state's Centralized Master Bidders List, which has a registration fee of $70. When the state plans to buy goods and services costing more than $5,000, it must search the list for potential CMBL vendors, according to the comptroller's website.
"It has definitely helped my business," Frazier said. "You don't get all of them [contracts], but it helps me for sure."
By the numbers
Like Frazier, more business owners have began to understand the importance of acquiring their HUB certification. Northern Denton County has 127 minority-owned and Historically Underutilized Businesses registered in the program.
Of the businesses listed, 78 are women-owned, two are owned by an Asian female, five are owned by an Asian male, 15 are owned by black males, eight are owned by black females, six are owned by Latina females and 11 businesses are owned by Latino males, according to data acquired from the HUB directory posted on the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts website.
No HUB businesses were listed in Shady Shores, Copper Canyon or Dish, according to the data provided.
In order to become certified, a business has to be:
* at least 51 percent owned by an Asian-Pacific American, black American, Hispanic American, Native American and/or American woman;
* a for-profit entity that has not exceeded the size standards prescribed in the Texas Administrative Code (Title 34, Rule 20.23), and has its principal place of business in Texas; and
* owned by a resident in Texas with a proportionate interest that actively participates in the control, operations and management of the entity's affairs.
In 2008, the Texas Office of the Comptroller's Texas Procurement and Support Services Division began administering the HUB program. Each October and March, the division provides a report to the legislature on its educational and outreach efforts to reach minority- and women-owned businesses to inform them about the state's procurement process.
Ron Pigott, director of the Texas Procurement and Support Services division, said there has definitely been a growth in businesses that have applied to become HUB-certified since his division began administering the program.
Pigott said when the state comptroller's office began administering the program in 2008, there were 13,824 HUB-certified businesses. Now, there are 16,985. In 2011, there were 16,710 HUB-certified businesses.
To inform businesses of potential opportunities, the division provides seminars and training on the available opportunities. Events like HUBEXPO inform vendors of the state's procurement process. It also allows business owners to interact with state HUB coordinators and purchases as well as letting them know how they can be on the Centralized Master Bidders List.
"We do all of that, but we also work with the University of North Texas, Texas A&M, the Texas Department of Transportation and 11 contracted chambers of commerce," Pigott said, adding that the outreach is conducted both at the state and local level.
In addition to getting information about HUB-related resources, businesses also get training, including how to manage their businesses and their capital.
In fiscal year 2012, which ended Aug. 31, the Texas Procurement and Support Services conducted more than 106 events and HUB discussion sessions and provided more than 149 outreach activities, according to the Fiscal 2012 Education and Outreach Report for the Statewide Historically Underutilized HUB Program report.
"The feedback [from business owners] has been completely positive," Pigott said.
The HUB program saw a 14.45 percent decrease in the number of new certification applications received. In July 2012, 844 minority- and women-owned businesses were registered as new Texas certified HUBs directly with the comptroller's office. Through its third-party entities, another 822 registered to become certified, according to the report.
Local efforts
Eddie Reyes, director of HUB Administration at the University of North Texas, works with businesses in the North Texas area that want to become HUB certified.
In the nine years that he has been involved with the HUB program, he said women-owned businesses have continued to do fairly well. But women do have to make a crucial decision.
"If you apply, [you're going to] have to make a choice of how you want to be certified — either putting down Hispanic or women, you cannot be both," he said. "You are going to be counted as Hispanic or a woman, but not Hispanic woman-[owned]. That is the law. … You have to decide as you are filling this out, you need to decide which is more advantageous to you."
It depends on the industry, Reyes said, encouraging women businesses owners to look at the advantages.
During his time as coordinator of the HUB program at UNT, Reyes has also seen an increase in the number of women-owned certified businesses especially in construction, architecture and engineering. He has also seen an increase in the number of Latina-owned businesses.
"Women architects are breaking away from their own firms, and starting their own businesses," Reyes said.
UNT awarded 282 contracts to minority- and women-owned businesses, reaching a total of around $28 million for this fiscal year 2012, according to comptroller reports. Texas Woman's University awarded 125 contracts totaling around $6 million, according to data from the comptroller's office.
Michelle Cunningham, business development officer with Denton's economic development office, said once local businesses are part of the state's HUB contractors list, they are notified by e-mail of bid opportunities that could be available citywide.
She also cautioned business owners to be proactive.
"Just because you are HUB-certified, it doesn't mean people will call you and provide you with business," she said. "You are also responsible for looking and finding those opportunities."

Antique Style Natural Wood Beds
Simple natural wood furniture also works well in old-world atmospheres, particularly in country cottage or rustic rural themes. Pair a natural wood bed with a floral or paisley area rug, a grandfather clock and outdoor themed art prints. You'll have that classic cozy ambiance in no time. Add a tabletop grandfather clock on your dresser alongside a decorative porcelain container to really complete the look.
