Rice to go to the NFL?

On the afternoon of January 20, 2009, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will find herself unemployed. She might not be that way for long. Adam Schefter of the NFL Network reported this weekend that the San Francisco 49ers are interested in hiring Rice to serve in a high-level position within the organization.

This is not the first time Rice's name has been bandied about for a gig with the National Football League. She told the New York Times in 2002 that her dream job is to be NFL Commissioner. And Condi's name is still on the short-list of possible candidates to replace Gene Upshaw as executive director of the NFL Player's Association.

Rice is a long-time football fan who grew up rooting for the Cleveland Browns and still manages to catch most games on Sundays. After her term as Secretary of State ends, Rice had been planning to move back to California, where she previously served as Stanford provost (and had a hand in hiring former NFL coach Dennis Green, among others).

How this makes her qualified to run an NFL team is anyone's guess. Still, it's not like the 49ers can get any worse. Maybe throwing a Hail Mary to Condi is what the organization needs in order to get back on track after what will likely be their sixth-straight losing season.

For the record, the 49ers issued a soft rebuttal to Schefter's story, saying:

"We don't respond to rumors. We have our office structure in place."

Sounds like the Niners are spouting the standard non-denial denial of Washington politicians. In that case, should Condi head to the Bay Area, she'll probably feel right at home.

Ski Resorts take out Suggestive Pictures on Snowboards

A half-dozen ski resorts in New England and the West are joining in protests against two new lines of snowboards that feature images of Playboy models and cartoons of self-mutilation.

Why do people want a almost naked girl on their snowboard? Its not like they want to become "excited" when they are snowboarding. It doesn't make sense. Is it a pride thing that men just have to show that they love women? In particular half naked women?

Smugglers' Notch in Vermont says it has banned employees from using the Love and Primo boards made by Burton Snowboards.

Vail Resorts has prohibited employees of its Vail, Breckenridge, Beaver Creek and Keystone resorts in Colorado and California's Heavenly Mountain from using the Love boards or any other inappropriate, offensive or suggestive equipment while on duty.

The boards also led to a demonstration last week outside Burton's headquarters in Burlington, Vt.

Burton CEO Laurent Potdevin says the company supports freedom of artistic expression and stands by the boards.

How to Overcome Childhood Obesity

America is known as the fast food nation. But how could we overcome this heavy tragedy? I think that children are playing less outside and more inside, which means less physical activity. Videogames, computer games, t.v., and other inside things can distract a child from playing outside. But we can't always blame obeisty for laziness, it could also mean it could have came genetically. Which isn't the childs fault, and no where near it. Childhood obesity is a serious medical condition that affects children and adolescents. It occurs when a child is well above the normal weight for his or her age and height. Childhood obesity is particularly troubling because the extra pounds often start kids on the path to health problems that were once confined to adults, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.


One of the best strategies to combat excess weight in your child is to improve the diet and exercise levels of your entire family. This helps protect the health of your child now and in the future.

Risk factors
Many factors — usually working in combination — increase your child's risk of becoming overweight:

+Diet. Regular consumption of high-calorie foods, such as fast foods, baked goods and vending machine snacks, contribute to weight gain. High-fat foods are dense in calories. Loading up on soft drinks, candy and desserts also can cause weight gain.
Foods and beverages like these are high in sugar and calories.

+Inactivity. Sedentary kids are more likely to gain weight because they don't burn calories through physical activity. Inactive leisure activities, such as watching television or playing video games, contribute to the problem.

+Genetics. If your child comes from a family of overweight people, he or she may be genetically predisposed to put on excess weight, especially in an environment where high-calorie food is always available and physical activity isn't encouraged.

+Psychological factors. Some children overeat to cope with problems or to deal with emotions, such as stress or boredom. Their parents may have similar tendencies.

+Family factors. Most children don't shop for the family's groceries. Indeed, parents are responsible for putting healthy foods in the kitchen at home and leaving unhealthy foods in the store. You can't blame your kids for being attracted to sweet, salty and fatty foods; after all they taste good. But you can control much of their access to these foods, especially at home.

+Socioeconomic factors. Children from low-income backgrounds are at greater risk of becoming obese. Poverty and obesity often go hand in hand because low-income parents may lack the time and resources to make healthy eating and exercise a family priority.

Chelsea block Ballack crisis talks

English Premier League leaders Chelsea have refused to allow Michael Ballack to travel to Germany to meet coach Joachim Loew for crisis talks which could determine his international future.

The London club's coach Luiz Felipe Scolari said that with Ballack still recovering from surgery on his feet, the player will stay in England to continue his fight for fitness.

"Ballack plays for Chelsea. If Loew wants to talk to Ballack I invite the coach to come here and stay with us for one or two days and talk to him," said Scolari. The German football federation (DFB) confirmed that Chelsea had told them of their decision.

"We have a received a fax from Chelsea informing us that the club will not allow Ballack to go to Germany for health reasons," DFB spokesman Harald Stenger told the SID news agency. Loew wants to meet Ballack after the Germany skipper claimed the coach didn't show enough respect and loyalty to his senior players. Earlier Friday, Bayern Munich coach Jurgen Klinsmann told Ballack to apologise for his damning criticism of Loew.

"Every discussion between a senior player and the coach should happen behind locked doors. But Ballack does not seem to adhere to a code of conduct anymore." Matthaus added: "He runs everything past the media. The trust in him has been lost."

The incident began on Tuesday after Ballack told the Frankfurter Allgemeine newspaper that: "Experienced national players deserve at least some respect and loyalty. Ballack did go to the media for attention and did breached the team's code of conduct. Ballack made the mistake to reach for attention instead of talking to the people he was having a problem with. Now whether one person has right of way, its truly hard to tell since everything is all twisted.

Who Says Dancing isn't a Sport?

Believe it or not, but dancing is a sport! I myself dance. And believe me, it isn't a easy thing to do. I particularly dance Polynesian, and it's a WORK OUT! Since I have started dancing, I've had stronger thighs, better stamina, and much more things I could benefit from that. When we perform, we are smiling through our teeth... and breathing heavily at the same time! Other sports probably can't do that. haha People look at Polynesian dancing as a form of entertainment, yes that's true, but for the dancers it's our passion and our work out! Ballet, Tap, any other kind of dancing, I believe it is a sport. We compete with each other like football and their games. So what's the difference?! For instance, figure skating.. is it dancing? of course.. and it's in the Olympics that we have competed with other countries all over the world! simple as that

"Sport" is just more than one person playing a certain game or activity against another person, in a non harmful way of course. The activity must be governed by rules. so yeah, dancing is a sport - there are tons of dance leagues and competitions around the world

The Shoes That Cruise

Remember the good all days when you would roller skate to the store or even just around your front yard. It was quite fun being with friends and showing off your nice skates. But now a days they are no where in site. Well, Sketchers and Puma going to try to help the faded out roller skates. They are both trying to bring roller skates back in style.

Sketchers have opted to call their roller skates 4 Wheelers, while the folks at Puma are calling theirs Roller Kitty. Both companies have basically just added wheels and stoppers (front and back for the 4 Wheelers, just front for the Roller Kitty) to a pair of regular shoes.

Personally, Roller Kitties looks pretty good. Puma's have a kind of simple, old school style that works well for roller skates. The 4 Wheelers, on the other hand, aren't so great looking. And style names like "Glimmer," "Freerider," and "Medallion" don't make them any more appealing.

Also the name Roller Kitties isn't so appealing. Same with the names for the 4 Wheelers. But if they are trying advertise to the children then it may be appropriate.

This may be nice effort to bring the roller skates back to life, but I don't think the roller skate fad will last very long. Well, that is if it actually starts.

Sports are Beneficial for the Elderly

As much as I want to promote kids to excerise more, I really would like the Elderly to exercise more. Now I'm not talking going to the gym and over exhausting yourself, but I think that a daily walk in the park, something simple like that is good enough. Before I read this article, I thought to myself, that it's only common sense that an elderly person could exercise they could live much longer (meaning their life expectancy has expanded). Exercise could improve blood pressure, diabetes, and much more. I think that it is very vital that the elderly should start taking part in this. Regular physical activity is also associated with decreased mortality and age-related morbidity in older adults. Despite this, up to 75 percent of older Americans are insufficiently active to achieve these health benefits.

Few contraindications to exercise exist, and almost all older persons can benefit from additional physical activity. The exercise prescription consists of three components: aerobic exercise, strength training, and balance and flexibility. Physicians play a key role in motivating older patients and advising them regarding their physical limitations and/or comorbidities. Motivating patients to begin exercise is best achieved by focusing on individual patient goals, concerns, and barriers to exercise. Strategies include the "stages of change" model, individualized behavioral therapy, and an active lifestyle. To increase long-term compliance, the exercise prescription should be straightforward, fun, and geared toward a patient's individual health needs, beliefs, and goals.

The Red Sox are Coming Back!!

The Red Sox were disappointed everyone this year. Especially, during the seventh inning for the requisite, I really thought it was just they didn't have it this year.
The Sox have gone though a lot of downs lately. They missed Manny. They didn't have enough reliable relievers. They had too many young guys with Schiraldian looks on their faces, too many pseudo-fans in the stands, too few free spirits in the dugout. They never should have let Josh Beckett pitch to those last two batters in Game 2. They never should have put Mike Timlin on the playoff roster, much less brought him in for the 11th inning of Game 2. And now, they were going down with a whimper. They were going to get swept in the middle three games at home, three humiliating losses to their formerly scrawny stepbrother in the AL East. Our boys seemed fine with it, and that was what really troubled us. The Sox became unrecognizable.

But then in Game , Hurting and homerless, Big Papi came through once again in Game 5.
And all of the sudden the spirts of the fans totally started cheering and going crazy for their beloved team.

After Papi feebly whiffed on four pitches for the second out, Kevin Youkilis slapped a grounder to Evan Longoria, who made a terrific back-handed stab and then flubbed the throw. The ball bounced over Pena's glove and into the stands, sending Yook to second and spawning a fantastic replay of Joe Maddon staring out onto the field like one of the Fortune 500 CEOs watching the Dow drop another 500 points. Like, he knew it was falling apart and there was nothing he could do, only there was a dugout camera 3 inches from his face. That was when Maddon made a crucial mistake by walking Bay to pitch to Drew.

So let's just agree a memorable baseball game happened Thursday night. It delighted a large group of people and devastated a much smaller group. Everyone else marveled at the comeback and probably thought the outcome was unfair, considering the payrolls and the histories of the respective franchises. Unbelievable, memorable, but slightly unfair. And that's fine.

Sports are Good for Children

If you don't know about America's rapidly growing rate of obesity, then where have you been?! America has been struggling with the food industry and it's most definitely not getting any better! American Children are getting the heavy end of this dilemma. Parents should be informed how to teach their students to eat healthy. It's becoming a fat nation for us, and we simply cannot let that happen! If you look at the statistics, we really are the fattest country! We are a wealthy country yet, we don't know how to handle that. One solution I think that we need is for children to start playing sports! Sports are and have always been a good thing to keep up with kid's health and endurance to do/experience new things. We most definitely do not want our kids stuck at home all day playing video games now do we? Sports not only maintains a good health.. it gives a lot more.

Sports provide a positive learning experience that will enhance your child's ability to develop self confidence, good sportsmanship and teamwork skills. Sports also teach all of us to work hard and have a little fun at the same time.

In sports, children are challenged both mentally and physically. Coaches teach the roles of the game, strategy to win, and how to work together. Your child will also build skills, endurance, and strength.

Perhaps the greatest life lessons are learned in sports. Winning does not come easy; you've got to work for it. "Winners never quit and quitters never win." Life isn't fair. Sometimes you give it your all and you still lose. When you lose, pick yourself up and try again.

Younger children learn socialization through sports. Sharing, listening, and following rules are the fundamentals picked up in earlier years of sports.

Self-esteem is something you cannot give your child. We gain positive self-esteem through accomplishments. In sports, your child can reach goals, big and small, and feel good about themselves. It is not important to be the star. Teach your child to strive to reach personal goals.

In sports there are setbacks, defeats and even injuries. How you handle it says a lot about your character. Your child will be a lot happier if he or she learns to take setbacks in stride and concentrates on doing better next time.

If your child decides to play a sport, make sure you are playing your role the best way you can. Don't pressure your child. Instead be supportive and help him or her through any difficulties or conflicts. It's great to practice with your child, but don't be overbearing and make practice feel like a punishment.

DODGERS BEAT PHILLIES

Basketball season is done, so is the olympics. So what's next for the sports fans out there? Everyone is hyped up on baseball! Especially around LA, Dogdger fans have been lining up for tickets to watch the game. The Dodgers, 7 and the Phillies, 2. If anyone watched the game last night, you saw a home run, and bases were loaded for the Dodgers. It has been an exciting season for the Dodgers and they are not going to let the Phillies get to their head.. especially how they have been pitching to the Dodgers lately. The Dodgers finally stood up in this series, winning a game with two more at home, where they are a best-in-baseball 24-9 since the All-Star break. We are all excited for the upcoming achievement that Los Angeles teams have been doing. Lakers are rising, and will be prepared for next time. The Dodgers are ready for anything that any team will throw at them.
Before a record crowd of 56,800, the Dodgers came out swinging against Moyer. The first three Dodgers all singled, with an RBI going to Ramirez, who had touched Moyer for 10 homers and 20 RBIs in his career. Martin was hit by a pitch and Casey Blake had an RBI single before DeWitt's key hit. Rafael Furcal added a second-inning homer.

Kuroda allowed two runs in six-plus innings before turning it over to Cory Wade and Jonathan Broxton.

For the moment, the Dodgers have the momentum.

"We won a game and have a good feeling about ourselves," Dodgers manager Joe Torre said. "Hopefully we've planted a seed of doubt" in the Phillies' heads.

As for the brushback pitches, Torre said, "I don't look on it as bad blood. It's baseball. I really don't think this is anything long-lasting."

Sports are Good for the Soul

Playing sports is usually a social activity. Which one learns to get along with other people if he wants to enjoy a game. It is important in a child's development to learn to get along with others, to share the ball, etc. Sports allows people the opportunity to practice getting along with those who bother them, and those who they like, a skill that is crucial when joining the workforce.

People of all colors, ethnicities, and nationalities come together under one roof, rubbing shoulders, elbows, in an effort to get close to others who support a similar cause. People tend to learn about others from different backgrounds when they play on the same team.

Sports teaches valuable lesson in life. Like ethics, playing clean, but hard, not cheating, that there are wins and losses and about rewards and consequences for our actions. If a child is shelter all their life and does not experience the nature of a game then they are setting themselves up for a great disappointment when they realize the hardship it takes.

As a member of a sports team, I have learned the importance of working together to achieve one common goal. I have lost some games and won some games too. The feeling of an achievement, just makes me feel great and a glow shines all over me. This is something that everyone should experience, and an active lifestyle does mean a healthier body.

Rays-Red Sox Preview

The Rays were the last team standing in a 5-hour, 27-minute marathon win over the Red Sox in Game 2 of the ALCS. It was yet another "pinch us" moment from a feel-good season for Tampa Bay. As thrilled as the Tampa Bay Rays were by their extra-inning victory to even the AL championship series, the Boston Red Sox are pretty excited, too. With the series shifting to Fenway Park for the next three games, the Red Sox look to continue their dominance in Boston on Monday (TODAY!!!) in Game 3 of the ALCS as they try to prevent the Rays from building off their big win. Boston and Tampa Bay combined for seven home runs, tying a postseason record, but the game was won on B.J. Upton's sacrifice fly in the 11th inning as the Rays outlasted the Red Sox 9-8.

"We did not want to go to Boston down 0-2," said Tampa Bay's Evan Longoria, who opened the home run barrage with a two-run shot in the first inning to snap an 0-for-13 drought. Upton and Cliff Floyd also homered as the Rays appeared to steal away the momentum with their Game 2 win, but the Red Sox would argue they have the advantage with the next three games being at Fenway.

"Why not?" Boston's David Ortiz asked. "Return to the house. Good things happen over there." The Red Sox had the majors' second-best home record at 56-25 this season, and have won 12 of their last 15 playoff games at Fenway. "I don't really see the sense of urgency right now," said Boston's Jon Lester, who has not lost at home since April and will start Monday. "We're at home, and we've got three against them here, and hopefully we can put up a good fight these next couple games and pick up a couple wins."

Lakers have yet to take its form

The Lakers are down 0-2 in the exhibition games, with one defeat being handed to them by their LA counterpart the Clippers with a score of 102-80. The Lakers said they are not worried, which I guess is a sign that the Lakers have yet to take on their real form. THat form would have to be tested in the Lakers' first season game on October 28 with the Portland Trail Blazers. An LA Times raised the same questions that I have had for quite a while now, which is "how would the current LA roster work together efficiently?" The good news is that they are loaded with talent, but the bad news is that well...they might have too much talent. I do believe though that the Lakers can work things out in the season. Kobe has been a steady leader lately, far mature than he was during the Shaq era. I am sure that he would be able to carry this team once more on his back and that his support cast would learn to give way to each other. It is too early to predict whetehr the Lakers can pull off another trip to the Finals, much less win the title, but it certainly is within their reach. They just ahev to make sure that they find their rhythm as soon as possible and not miss a beat.

Ellis gets suspension with no pay

For Golden State Warriors guard Monta Ellis, "adding salt to the injury" almost seems like a lieteral phrase. After getting into a moped accident, in which he had badly sprained his ankle, Ellis was suspended by team officials for 30 games. The reason for the suspension is rooted in an NBA regulation which "prohibits a player from engaging 'in any activity that a reasonable person would recognize as involving or exposing the participant to a substantial risk of bodily injury'". Coach Don Nelson and Warriors' executive Chris Mullin tried to convince team president Robert Rowell to forego the punishment, but Rowell declined. Ellis's suspension will not deal hand additional losses to his on-court presence, however, since he had been expected to sit out some games due to an operation from another injury. What Ellis' would lose out on in this suspension would be part of his salary, which is estimated to be about 3 million dollars. Ellis is a significant part of the Warriors offense, which has been the highest scoring team in the NBA last season. His seaosn avergaes were: "20.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.4 assists.(AP)"

Kobe's Silence Louder than Shaq

We all know that Kobe has been named Most Valuable Player for the year 2008. He basically represented Los Angeles and our country. Kobe is one gifted basketball player who is determined and I don't see him stopping. But there was a thing that kind of made people realize back a couple of years ago.. he was known to be kind of cocky. all ball hog you might say. but this article that i found to be quite interesting. Kobe has grown up, and he really do cares about what other people think of him. He's matured a lot and basically wanted to deal with all the commotion of fame firmly. I think after reading this article, it shows Kobe's maturity and his ability to be open arms with Shaq. Even though Shaq has talked "crap" Kobe uses a strategy that involves silence. I think that Kobe handles situations better than Shaq. And in my perspective, Shaq is just pissed that someone took the spotlight away from him. Kobe is still young and energetic, while Shaq is huffing and puffing on the basketball courts.

He's become a team guy, and along the way, Bryant did something spectacular. He didn't respond to O'Neal's vicious rap attack. He brushed it off, realizing there are battles that he just can't win. And to his shock, he came out unsullied.

"The biggest mistake I made was (always) coming up with a rebuttal (to O'Neal)," Bryant said. "My philosophy had always been to keep quiet and not to say anything. And by me responding, that drew me into it. If I had to do it over again, I would've just let people talk and say what they had to say."

Angels Live to Fight Another Day

After 12 innings and a long five hour game that ended nearly at 1am in the morning (EST), the Angels avoid a sweep, and live to fight another day. That's right, after 11 consecutive losses and two straight playoff sweeps, the Los Angeles Angels had grown tired of being a bump in Boston's road to the World Series. We are so devastated, well at least I am.

In 11 straight playoff losses to the Red Sox dating back to 1986, the Angels lost in every conceivable fashion: home and away, on walkoff homers and in one-sided routs. You name it, and the Angels found a way to lose. Finally, with a run-scoring single from Erick Aybar in the top of the 12th inning, the Angels stumbled upon a recipe for victory, edging the Sox 5-4 in an American League Division Series marathon. For much of the night, this one seemed headed for a predictable result. The Angels left multiple runners on base in the first, second, fourth and seventh. They allowed a rather benign blooper to drop between three onlookers, leading to the first three Red Sox runs. Then, just for good measure, because they’re the Angels and this is the postseason, they ran into an out on the bases in a big spot when Torii Hunter tried to stretch a single into a double leading off the ninth.

Now, with game 4 tonight they play with a lead and try to make sure the Angels don’t do to them what the Sox did against New York and Cleveland. The Red Sox must win tonight. And we have one thing that the Angels don't, heart and Lester.

Lakers' big men meet on court

The Lakers training camp might be a sign of good things to come. Andrew Bynum and Pau gasol are now practicing together with the rest of the team, and seem to getting along just fine. It remains to be seen whether "getting along" would translate to a formidable chemistry on court, though. The Lakers is stockpiled with players that would man the frontcourt, and Phil Jackson would have to do a good job of giving them some court action. Bynum and Gasol are only two of the Lakers' front court warriors, along with Lamar Odom, Chris Mihm and Ronnie Turiaf. A little give and take would be very essential if the Lakers are to succeed this year, which most folks predict they would. I leave the predictions aside, however, and prefer to hang tight till the end of the season to see if the Lakers can pull it off. After all, the Western Conference is a roller coaster, where there is no such thing as an assured victory. Competition is the name of the game, and my only bet is that the Lakers will have the talent and the firepower to duke it out.

Davis heads SoCal

So Baron Davis has made a trip down South to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers. His friend Corey Maggette said that Davis was about to have "a rude awakening" in his new team. Whatever that means, I think the LA Clippers should be glad to have Baron Davis on board. The current roster is filled with exciting young athletes who has the potential to become a major force in the league, but somehow lacks the discipline needed to pull ahead. Baron Davis not only provides the additional muscle needed in the point guard position for the Clippers, he would also help the team orchestrate better plays. I still expect the Clippers to showcase their usual flashiness on court, but I also expect that they would be more than just an NBA version of the Harlem Globetrotters. Davis would bring discipline onto the court without sacrificing thrill performances. Golden State, on the other hand, got an OK deal by getting Corey Maggette, but would likely suffer some losses during the season due to Davis' departure.
