text: Tuesday, March 13, 2012 Summary on Collaborative Osteoarthritis Project Now Available State of the Science in the Prevention and Management of Osteoarthritis, the summary of a collaborative project on osteoarthritis (OA) that included experts in physical therapy, nursing, epidemiology, rheumatology, public policy, geriatrics, pharmacotherapy, and complementary modalities, is available in this month's American Journal of Nursing (AJN). In July 2011, association members Carol Oatis, PT, PhD, and Maura Iversen, PT, DPT, MPH, ScD, and Anita Bemis-Dougherty, PT, DPT, MAS, of APTA's Department of Clinical Practice, represented the US Bone and Joint Initiative at a symposium hosted by AJN, the Hospital for Special Surgery, and the National Association of Orthopaedic Nurses to recommended ways in which nurses could take on greater leadership roles in research, policy, education, and clinical practice for the early diagnosis and management of OA. The objectives of the symposium were to: Identify gaps in the science and barriers to the early identification of OA and the implementation of interventions that promote mobility, decrease pain, and slow progression. Describe the state of the science of current interventions for preventing immobility and managing the effects of OA. Achieve consensus on the priorities for developing the best nursing practices—in the clinical, educational, research, and policy arenas—in order to meet the needs of diverse populations with OA in a variety of settings. Disseminate the analysis and recommendations to clinicians, nurse leaders, educators, researchers, specialty nursing organizations, other health care professionals, policymakers, consumer advocacy groups, and the general public. Five main themes emerged from the symposium that address the burden of OA, the need for national initiatives to raise awareness of OA, assessment of risk and progression of OA, interventions that relieve symptoms and minimize disease progression, and support for self-management as an aspect of OA treatment.

"Finally. It's the moment we've all been waiting for ever since Toyota and Subaru jointly announced their compact rear-wheel-drive sports car: production is now underway.
With an official ceremony at Subaru's Gunma Main Plant, attended by Toyota president Akio Toyoda, Subaru pushed the Big Red Button (quite literally, in case you were wondering) that sent BRZ and Toyota GT 86 coupes down the assembly line. And the event was captured in both still images and video for our viewing pleasure.
Check out our high-res image gallery above, and see below for the video and official press release. Oh, and if you're one of the lucky ones with a deposit down for either the Subaru or the Toyota's Scion FR-S twin (America won't get one with an interlocking rings badge), it's officially time to consider making room in your garage."

Brandon Spikes was moved to injured reserve this week with a lingering knee injury. Why the New England Patriots came to that surprise decision became a matter of curiosity Saturday.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported a source close to Spikes denied an ESPN report that the Patriots moved the inside linebacker to IR because he was late for a team meeting last Friday.
ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported that Spikes' late arrival during the team's bye week was the "final straw" for Bill Belichick, who has disciplined Spikes for multiple incidents in the past.
The source told Rapoport the ESPN report is "untrue" and "not accurate." According to Rapoport, the move to IR was a mutual decision that allows Spikes to collect playoff shares and get healthy ahead of next season.
Spikes publicly appealed for help on Twitter after his luxury SUV became stuck in his driveway after a night of heavy snowfall last Friday.
Spikes will be a free agent at the end of the season and almost certainly will be playing elsewhere in 2014. He was New England's top run-stuffer this season and was ranked as the No. 6 inside linebacker in the league by ProFootballFocus.The "Around The League Podcast" is now available on iTunes!

Fire at derailed train site seriously burns workers, forces evacuation
LOUISVILLE — Flames from a derailed train car sent people rushing out of neighborhoods and an entire town near Louisville on Wednesday while firefighters tried to douse the chemical blaze that left three workers badly burned.
Some people forced from their homes faced a long night on cots in shelters set up after the blaze — sparked by a cutting torch that ignited leaking vapors — broke out shortly after 1 p.m.
Officials in West Point, a short distance from the fire, ordered its nearly 1,000 residents to get away from the flames and the potential health hazards posed by the burning chemicals.
About two dozen people took shelter Wednesday night at a nearby elementary school. Police, firefighters and emergency workers went door to door to tell stunned residents to get out of town.
The town was part of an evacuation within a 1.2-mile radius of the fire. The order also affected nearly 140 residences in southwest Louisville.
The blaze broke out while workers were using a cutting torch or welder to separate two of the cars that derailed Monday evening, said Lt. Col. Rick Harrison, assistant chief with the suburban Buechel Fire Department.
"Sparks ignited the vapor from the chemical itself," Harrison said.
Flames and thick, black smoke spewed out between two train cars while fire hoses shot almost 2,000 gallons of water a minute at the blaze. Officials cut off access to the derailment site and the nearby communities.
The three workers suffered severe burns and were taken to University of Louisville hospital. Authorities had not released their names but said one was in very critical condition, another in critical condition and the third in serious condition. A previous briefing had the three in better condition.
"The workers that are here are highly trained, and this is one of those freak accidents that occurs unfortunately," Harrison said.
The fire was contained to a tanker car that had contained flammable butadiene gas, officials said.
They said they were letting residual amounts of the chemical burn out, and the fire was contained inside the insulated tanker car.
Butadiene is a colorless, flammable gas that smells mildly like gasoline, according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. It is shipped as a liquefied, compressed gas. It can cause irritation to the eyes, nose and throat and drowsiness and dizziness. Exposure also can damage the central nervous system and the reproductive system.
Another big concern was that the burning rail car was only a few feet from other derailed tankers that had carried hydrogen fluoride, authorities said.
Hydrogen fluoride is a colorless gas with a sharp, pungent, irritating odor, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Inhalation can cause severe respiratory damage in humans. It is used in the glass etching, electronic and chemical industries.
People living beyond the evacuation area but within 5 miles of the blaze were being told to stay indoors, close all windows and doors, bring pets inside and turn off their heating and air conditioning systems.
Doug Hamilton, director of the Louisville Emergency Management Agency, said two other workers were injured but refused to be transported to the hospital.
Hamilton said the workers were wearing respiratory gear when the fire erupted.
Two of the burned men work for R. J. Corman Railroad Group, a Nicholasville-based company, said Noel Rush, the company's vice president of finance and administration. They worked for the St. Louis Derailment Division, he said.
The third injured man is a consultant for Paducah & Louisville Railways, he said. R. J. Corman is participating in an investigation of the incident.


text: Thursday, February 27, 2014 PT's Movie Review on ESPN Also Educates on Consecutive TBI An APTA member's review of a new documentary on traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been featured on ESPN. Stephania Bell, PT, CSCS, OCS, senior writer for ESPN, gave a strong, positive review for the new documentary "The Crash Reel," but perhaps just as important, seized the opportunity to provide readers with valuable education on consecutive TBI and its impact on developing brains. "The Crash Reel" follows the rise, devastating injury, and recovery of elite snowboarder Kevin Pearce, who at age 22 suffered a head injury during training for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Pearce's recovery continues, and he is now a motivational speaker and sports equipment consultant. Earlier this month he carried the torch at the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics in Sochi. In her review, Bell writes that "the film's strengths lie in its simultaneous beauty and tragedy. Stunning visual elements … and the inspirational love of an amazing family are contrasted with … the raw, often gut-wrenching emotions evoked alongside the physical pain of head injuries." She describes the film as an honest work that "neither glorifies nor glamorizes Kevin's brain injury and his subsequent path." Bell expands her review to include a discussion on some of the issues at the heart of "The Crash Reel," including wide misunderstanding of concussion, and the dangers of consecutive TBI. She explains the ways in which brain injuries differ from other injuries associated with sports, and how consecutive TBI can impact decision-making abilities that need to be keen in order to avoid another injury. In Pearce's case, he believes that symptoms from a previous concussion may have contributed to the injury that would end his snowboarding career. "The Crash Reel" is available on DVD, iTunes, and video-on-demand services and is being screened in selected theatres. More information can be found on the film's website.

We all love a nerd who tries to get his groove on.
There's just something so perversely entertaining about it - maybe because it makes the rest of us feel so excellent in comparison.
It's no wonder, then, that everyone is so delighted by Microsoft's latest PR disaster, which involves a magnificent blend of computer nerds, awful techno, nude ladies and the word "penis".
At a Developers' Conference in Oslo last week, the corporation made a valiant effort to link cool things like sex and drugs to their cloud-computing platform, Azure.
This was attempted via a bizarre dance routine, which involved half-nude Norwegian women and lyrics that were displayed on a large screen on stage, in case you missed a beat.
All in all, the best lyric was probably, "The words MICRO and SOFT don't apply to my penis (or vagina)."
A cursory "(or vagina)" was included only at the last minute (and only on-screen), when keynote speaker Aral Balkan questioned the routine's sexism prior to its performance.
There were also references to programmers coding as "fast" and "hard", and - BTW - "CSS is my LSD, and XML is my ecstasy". Which is fortunate, because, "Tonight we're gonna party and coding is our drug".
It really is the BEST/WORST corporate dance routine ever. Have a look:
Unsurprisingly, delegates and industry insiders were unimpressed, and Microsoft has hung its head in shame ever since.
The whole thing was particularly dur-brained because the company has already been in trouble for its sexist ways, and criticised heavily for its alleged culture of loutish and lewd behaviour.
The company's head of corporate communications, Frank Shaw, has tweeted:
"The routine had vulgar language, was inappropriate and was just not ok. We apologize to our customers and partners."
And Microsoft stated:
"This week's Norwegian Developer's Conference included a skit that involved inappropriate and offensive elements and vulgar language. We apologize to our customers and our partners and are actively looking into the matter."
As actor Alyson Hannigan once said, "Nerds are far more interesting humans in later life." In which case: Microsoft, you got some growing up to do.

BELLINGHAM, England, May 2 (UPI) -- A British woman who says she has felt permanently airsick since taking an airplane to Turkey eight years ago has been diagnosed with disembarkment syndrome.
Catherine Bell, 46, of Bellingham, England, said she vacationed in Turkey eight years ago and her airsickness persisted after she got off the plane, The Sun reported Thursday.
"As soon as we landed and I stepped off the plane I felt seriously odd. The whole world had transformed into bouncy castle land and I felt as if I was walking on a giant marshmallow," Bell said.
She said the symptoms persisted with attacks sometimes lasting for months on end.
Doctors were baffled before finally diagnosing her with Mal de Debarquement Syndrome, or disembarkment syndrome, a neurological disorder triggered by travel.
There is no known cure and sufferers only feel relief while in motion.
"At the moment I live in a wibbly-wobbly world, if I stand still or sit down I can see the world swaying slightly. It makes it hard to read or watch TV and I have a constant headache and feel sick," Bell said.

Post your team previews, match reports and anything else in this thread. This is for both First Class and One Day round 7 matches.
We expect at least 1 piece of writing from each manager...
Mashonaland manager Andy Cameron today hinted at making several unexpected changes to the line-up of the Zimbabwean club's first class side. Cameron was at Yorkshire, where he had been watching his rookies in the 2nd XI beat Yorkshire in a one day game.
"We've been keeping a close eye on Vince Walker and Hashim Amla, both of whom are in good form. With Ben Straw expected to be out for another week, we're in need of an allrounder. While Travis, who we played last round, has been batting well enough, his bowling hasn't been that effective, and we feel Vince may offer that little bit more with the ball, while his batting is certainly going to help the lower order. Vince will actually be likely to replace young Abutahir Rizan, who's spin hasn't been as good as we'd hoped, while Amla will most likely be coming in for Travis."
This talk has been met with some head-scratching by those familar with the club, which has surprisingly been struggling in the longer form recently. Walker has in fact only played one game for the 2nd XI, which was last round, where he made 35 in his one innings and took two wickets for 98 over the two innings. Likewise, Amla, while being fairly consistent for the seconds, has yet to post a decent score.
Hashim Amla is one of the two likely debutants for Mashonaland this round
Thomas rings in changes for Yorkshire
After watching the Yorks 2nd XI lose to Mashonaland, manager Greg Thomas announced the changes to the First Class side that will no doubt surprise some pundits.
First is the dropping of P Laker. The fast bowler had been the pick of the quicks for the opening rounds but of late has fallen off.
"He confided in me that's he been having a bit of problems at home, which has affected his playing. I was still undecided on whether I should drop him or give him another chance but after his reuqest I thought 'fair enough' and told him to take some time off and come back fresh and have a go in the seconds" he said, "In his place, Zahid Saeed gets a much deserved call up. he's been a real gun in the second XI and I think he'll be a great new ball partner with Evans."
Excellent form; Saeed is in the 1st XI for the match with Guyana.
Second is the dropping on P Marsden. Though no real surprise, as his form as been poor, it was his replacement that raised a few eyebrows.
"Fans were coming up to me in the streets telling me Yashpal should be in for Marsdy. There's no denying Yashpals been in great form in the seconds, and he was considered but Kripal Singh has been in better form and I don't know why a lot of people ignore" he said.
"I also think a lot of them tend to forget Yashpal's poor run in the one day side. I'm looking at a position change for him there, though. Number four doesn't seem to be the ideal position for him" he added.
Third is Dawn's move down the order, from the opening position to number five.
"Michael Dawn's move wasn't, actually, my idea. Michael approached me after the cup match and said he'd rather be down the order" he assured us.
"Watching him, he's been in touch in the nets and batting at number three in one day matches. He's had great success there so far this season so when he said he wanted to move down the order, I thought it'd be to number three. He surprised me by saying that 'Martin (Love) has been batting solidly at three and I don't want to disrupt him, Tendulkar's been on fire at four and Marsden's been dropped from the middle order, and I'd like to bat there to get a good feel for the innings'."
With the promotion of Kripal Singh - an opener - to the first XI, you would think he would be first choice for the openers slot.
"Not at all" says Thomas.
"Like I said, Kripal's in great form but he's just earned promotion. Lou (Vincent) has struggled a bit but I think that's due to batting so low. I don't think he really knows his role down the order so I'm giving him a shot at opening. Hopefully he'll do us proud over the next few matches but if not, we can always promote Kripal Singh, can't we?" he says with a wink.
Lou Vincent will open alongside Agnew.
Yorks 1st XI to take on Guyana (in batting order): K Agnew, L Vincent (wk), M Love, W Tendulkar, M Dawn (c), M Jayawardene, R Kripal Singh, R Silva, F Evans, Z Saeed, D Kaneria (vc).

WA face 3 big weeks to round out the first half of the season. One of the big suprise packages of the year so far, WA are running third, with 2 wins and 4 draws so far this season. Manager Chris Butler seems happy with the start to the season "Our consistancy has been the key so far this year. we got off to 4 draws to start the season, and the boys got alot of confidence from that."
Despite winning the last two games, Butler has made one change to the line up, bringing in J Laney to replace Q Friend. "Laney has been in great form with the bat and deserves his chance, Friend is a quality player and im sure he will leave his mark on the 2nd XI this week"
WA face Warickshire, ACT and Tamil Nadu to round out the first half of the season. ACT and TN are the only two team ahead of WA on teh table. "its gonna be a great challenge for the boys of the next three weeks, three wins would probally take us to the top of the table, so there is plenty to play for"
WA line up to take on Warickshire: H KanitkarC, L Ronchi+, J Laney, D Thornley, M Beasley, I Pearson, Q Spenser, J Ryder, A Adams, H Jenkins, K Dean

Trescothick Called Up
ACT Manager Simon Fitzsimmons has made several changes to his top of the table Comets team. Despite losing on one game this season opening pair Ed Howarth and Martin Phadke have both gotten the chop. Veteran Englishman Marcus Trescothick has gotten a surprise call up after some excellent performances in the seconds. Trescothick was not expecting to play much of a role in the first team this year but his great form added with the terrible performances of Phadke and Howarth has given him this chance.
Trescothick has been in great form
Ismail Tamhane will also make another appearance in the first team despite the all rounder struggling for the past few weeks. Tamhane will form part of a new look bowling line up which also includes Bangladesh spinning sensation Ahsanullah Hasan. Hasan has been one of the leading lights for the Second Eleven team and his elevation to the first team in front of fellow spinner George Goff surprised many even himself.
The full Comets side is:
AB De Villiers+, Marcus Trescothick, Ricky Ponting, Yashpal Singh, Misbah Ul Haq, Owen Cardew*, Ismail Tamhane, Ben Marshall, Ahsanullah Hasan, Dean Bent, Paul Marlowe.
WA 2nd XI manager Thad Bochat continues to make changes to his team as he desparately tries to find a winning combination. The batting displays put on by the second side have been generally solid this season, but the bowlers have not been able to back them up, which goes a long way to explaining why they are winless and sitting second from bottom after 6 rounds. However, a win this week against bottom side Warwickshire, while not likely to move the team out of 9th spot, could well instill some confidence in the players, and see results begin to improve.
Of the three changes made, one has been forced. J Laney's recent good form has seen him promoted to the first side. The skills and first-team experience of the man he replaced, Q Friend, will be most welcome. M Vandort has been promoted to captain. The other two omissions are rookie paceman V Fernando and spinner W Quinn. C Blair and M Hossain Jr come in.

Long batting line up for Yorks 2nd's.
The Yorkshire 2nd XI has been bosted by Laker and Marsden who were dropped from the 1st XI earlier this week.
Manager Greg Thomas, taking over the seconds after Nick hancock transferred to the top job at kent, decided to play four bowlers as opposed to the five pronged attack setup Nick had been using.
"It was a good tactic but I want to try something different to counter the Guyana bowlers" he said.

Leicestershire have announced a basic unchanged squad to this weeks match against Tamil Nadu. As far as the manager is concerned we just don't have the depth at the current stage to be able to chop and change and our 2nd XI haven't exactly been setting the competition on fire themselves. Thus, the manager has full faith in the current XI and expects them to at least be competitive against TN. There should not really be any pressure on the players considering TN at the beginning of the season were red hot favourites along with ACT and this game is again one in which will test just how far we've come. The manager has also been concerned with his own issues of informing the match officials of the team lineup, particularly in the one day form where there have been a few too many instances, and this is something that the manager will work on. He can't expect the players to perform well if he himself hasn't been performing well.
Thus coming into round 7 of the first class season the officials received the following lineup in which player of August, C Vaughan, will look to stake his claim yet again against the TN lineup.
T Marston, K Slater, E Sellars, F Platt, C Vaughan, C Rogers, I de Saram (wk),T Mughal, I Gallage (c), U Sammels, R Ezard.
Hampshire have made 2 changes to the squad that beat Warwickshire in the last FC round. E Drake who has shown inconsistency in his first class batting form this season, has been demoted in the hope of finding his form again. He had a good knock in his last OD match and hopefully continues an upward trend with regards to his batting.
S Newman takes Drake's place and moves up the order to number 4, after his steady form in the 2nd XI side.
Star spinner P Shelley out with injury for a week is being rested and Sri Lankan import C Gamage takes his place to bolster the pace attack after a lengthy period. He has been working hard 1 on 1 in the nets with the bowling coach to regain his confidence and attack, which made him a top bowler for Hampshire last season.
Hampshire hope for a good win against ACT to move up the ranks and continue on a winning form. Its going to be a very tough battle however. Looking forward to a thriller!

In what promises to be an interesting contest with Victoria, Tasmania announced one change to their XI. Given the axe was opener Graham Eaton, with Tom Rowell, who tops the Second XI averages replacing him.
Eaton has struggled with injuries this season, and has averaged just over 20 in his five matches. Rowell has averaged 44 in the Second XI, with a top score of 94. A reporter managed to catch up with Rowell at his apartment in Launceston. "It'll be nice to be back playing at this high level, to be honest I was a bit disappointed not to get a game sooner as I was a fixture in the side last season."
"It's been ok playing in the Seconds, I feel in good touch, but for me there's nothing like playing in the First XI against a top class bowler like Harwood."
All change for Surrey
Surrey manager Jamee Gray has made four changes from the last FC match for this week's match against Surrey.
Abdul Mohammed, Edgar Good, Tim Ambrose and Upul Chandana were all dropped, and Michael Dighton, John Arlott, William Denny and Kazam Raza have replaced them.
But possibly more controvertialy, Arafat Sunny, the teenage spinning sensation has been put up to Number 5, and the rumour going round is that Jamee Gray has selected him as a batsman who bowls, not as a number 8 that it was presumed he'd play as.
Sunny bludgeons the ball away to the boundary.
Jason Bennett keeps his place in the team

Victoria have made minimum changes with the return of Kale and Hodge.
The injured Kale returns straight the 1st XI, meanwhile the misbehavour of Hodge has seen him start in the 2nd XI this weekend, after he has served his ban from the club.
Playing Tasmania on the Devil Isl will be an experience, and one that off-spinner Guinness is looking forward to.
Mike Hussey has managed to hold his spot in the 1st, despite new of his retirement this week. Meanwhile other retiree Madanagopal will be removed from the 2nd XI, as he offer no future for the club, and would stop us providing every oppunity to Azharuddin.
Victoria will be very much looking for the win this week from both XIs.

for there upcoming match against Karachi, nsw manager Bugs Malone has made 2 changes in the first xi side, as a much needed win is needed with only 1 win and 3 draws this season they really need to get the foot on the gas.
Flemming makes his way into the side after some solid performances in 2nds, also f khan sees himself back into the side. the unlucky to to make there way out of the 1st xi was V Sehwag and D Quale.
Sehwag had a quick press confrence telling news and radio crews that he will fight even harder to get back into the first xi side and said he holds no grudges against bugs Malone as he needs results and at the moment thats not what has been happening.
Bugs Malone was seen leaving training and heading off to hospital to see his new baby daughter in his 7 series bmw but said that he needs results however the board has stated his contract is in no danger and that the relationship between the club and management is fine.
Bugs malone just staed he was looking forward to the trip over in the morning and trying to get maximum points of karachi which wont be easy.

Queensland were more than happy to get their experienced opener Herschelle Gibbs back after being suspended vor discplinary reasons for 4 weeks. Gaurav Nayak gave a statement 'It's good to that is come back, he should be able to set us off to a steady start, and allow Tennison to move back into his no. 6 position'.
Other then that..There were no other changes in the Queensland team, apart from the captain forgetting to choose which side of the coin to bet on...

I think few people give thought to the fact that pastor's wives are pew widows each Sunday. What everyone else in church takes for granted, sitting with your spouse and family, is something that the pastor and his family cannot do. There is a certain comfort and benefit of sitting with your family. Not only do you have the company of your spouse or loved one, but you can have the benefit of having your spouse assist you with the children. Training a young child to sit quietly in church can be a real challenge. As a seminary professor, I now know first hand that standing in the pulpit is often a lot easier, in some respects, than sitting next to a fidgeting four-year-old. My wife and I often trade off or go to a man-to-man defense with our children. I take the oldest two and my wife takes the younger child. We then switch for the evening service. That way, if one of us misses part of the service because we had to escort one of the children out to discipline them, we have a good chance of catching the whole service in the evening. The same can't be said for the pastor's wife who often has to sit alone or parent solo in the pew.
Sitting alone in the church, though in the midst of a group of people, can be a lonely experience. And parenting solo in the pew can be very frustrating. There was a stretch in my wife's life where she was hardly able to listen to a complete sermon because she was working with our oldest, either feeding him, disciplining, or changing him. After a while, missing worship even though you're in the building, can be discouraging.
If you notice that your pastor's wife is sitting alone, offer to sit with her. If you notice that your pastor's wife is parenting alone in the pew, offer to help out. Offer to feed or care for the child. As odd as it sounds, sometimes a child will be better behaved for someone else than for the parent.
A pastor's family has to sacrifice a lot so that he can serve the church. One concrete thing you can do is assist the pew widow in whatever way you can.

Lipscomb sophomore guard Josh Slater recently returned from a sports mission trip to the Dominican Republic.
The trip gave Slater an opportunity not only to play against the Dominican national teams and top club teams, but also an opportunity to serve underprivileged children.
The trip was organized by SCORE International, a group that organizes many sports mission trips around the world each year.
He was joined on the trip by current college basketball players, including players from Jacksonville, Georgia, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, and Clemson.
The following is a journal of the trip by Tommy Kyle, SCORE's National College Basketball Director.
Though we have only been in the D.R. a few hours, there are a few things that are apparent here - it is hot and humid, we have a couple of characters on the team, and we are going to have a great time.
We are scheduled to play four games in the next four days. It should be a great time!
Given that our team had limited practice time and no game experience together and we were playing against a team that was much more experienced and unified, our inexperience showed in the opening quarter of the game. Our team shot a mere 22% from the field while the National team shot 47% from the field.
Our team found itself down early and was never able to overcome the deficit losing 77-49. The leading scorer was Rayvern Johnson with 17. Marcas Allen finished the game with 6 points and 8 rebounds.
The one shining moment of the game occurred in the 3rd quarter when Jerai Grant had a thunderous dunk that brought the crowd of 5000 Dominicans to theirr feet.
The game received a tremendous amount of exposure. It was broadcast nationally on television; highlights were shown that evening and in the newspapers as well.
The players were given a tour of the village hand in hand with children of the village. None of the guys speak Spanish causing a language barrier. Many words were spoken through laughter and hand signs.
Each family received a bag of food that will feed the family for at least a week. This gave our guys a good appreciation for the amount of food that they consume daily!
In the afternoon we got back to playing basketball. Tonight's outcome was far better than last nights, with 67-65 victory. The team was lead by Demontz Stitta with 17 points, Lucas Hargrove and Rayvern Johnson each had double figures with 16 and 13 points respectively.
Perhaps the key to victory though was the rebounding of AJ Jackson (10) and Elgin Bialey (8). Both players played strong and physical in the paint.
Josh Slater (6) and Will Poule (8) both contributed in the scoring column including two key three pointers.
Tomorrow night's contest will be again against the Domican National "B" Team. The team is looking forward to having a rematch of sorts, though there are different players on this team than the one they faced during Friday's game.
It was a hard fought game and though the team played its best basketball of the week, we fell short of a victory 68-73.
To their credit the players not only had to play the five players on the court but also the officials. In the United States there is a "home court" advantage, well here it is a "home Country" advantage. Rough play is expected and encouraged, unless that is from a player from the U.S.
Going into the final 12 seconds, the team was down three with a chance to tie the game. But, a whistle was blown from the stands causing the team to stop playing and loss possession of the ball. It was a terrible way to end such a terrific game.
Tomorrow is a day of redemption though as the team will play its final contest against the entire national team, including the players from the first game. The guys are excited to get another shot at showing just what USA basketball is all about.
The day got off to rough start when our bus broke down about half a mile away from the hotel. Luckily this was before we were picked up and not once we were aboard. A bus breaking down is not a rare occurrence. This was the fourth time one of our busses has engine or tire problems.
We waited for another bus to arrive and arrived at the game 45 minutes late. Each of our games started late. It is referred to here as "Dominican Time".
Even when the game was nationally televised, our game was delayed 45 minutes for the anticipated crowd. They simply cut into whatever program is airing to televise the game.
The game today was against the entire national team and we played much better. Until the 3rd quarter we had a small lead. But in the final five minutes our stamina failed us and we ended up falling 66-60.
The highlight of the game was in the closing minutes when Elgin Bailey hit three consecutive 3-pointers. I'm not sure what the Dominican team thought of the 6'8 265lb center pulling up from way beyond the arc.
The afternoon was spent at the local market. The guys got a good lesson in negotiating and bargaining with the local crafts people for souvenirs to take home. Once they realized that their price wasn't what they really had to pay they got into the art of talking the price down. I think some of them may try this next time they are at the Wal-Mart.
Tomorrow we fly home, but all will at lest that trip was a success on so many different levels. The friendships that have been forged will serve them well as these teammates face each other this basketball season.

A couple of weeks ago, I detailed my favorite fictional Awesome WTFery. I love explosions, random ghosts and fake relationships with a possibly unhealthy passion. Much of my love of WTFery manifests itself in my movie and television watching, but it creeps into books too.
Are you wanting to delve into a big of Awesome WTFery escapism? Here are a few I dare you not to secretly devour.
The Lux Novels by Jennifer L. Armentrout (Entangled Teen)
Why It's Awesome WTFery: Hot aliens live in West Virginia, hijinks ensue.
Bonus Points: Sex-Positive YA; No Love Triangle
I just blew through the first three Lux novels by Jennifer L. Armentrout, and while I'm not normally one to be embarrassed by my reading, I'm not exactly proud of not being able to put these books down. The plot of these (marginally) sci-fi young adult urban fantasy romance series is incredibly absurd and has continuity issues, but damn... the plot just moves along at a swift clip and Armentrout manages to make the reader care about snarky teen book blogger Katy and her good-looking pain-in-the-ass alien neighbor Daemon.
