Big Mo the tortoise, zoo's oldest resident, dies at 75
Big Mo the tortoise, zoo's oldest resident, dies at 75: "The Pittsburgh Zoo announced today that Big Mo, a yellow-footed tortoise who was the zoo's oldest resident, died Sunday.
Big Mo's estimated age was 75.
A news release said he was being treated for a respiratory infection, common in older animals, particularly reptiles.
The tortoise was acquired by the zoo in 1972 as a wild-caught adult."

Wierd Al
One of my favorite musical artists is Weird Al Yancovic. My favorite song of his is by far Ebay. Another of my favorites is Eat It. He really knows how to make fun of a song. From Amish Paradise to "White and Nerdy" it never gets old.

Ncaa Brackets
It's March and that means NCAA tournament. My final four picks are all no.1 seeds:
University of North Carolina, Kansas, Memphis, Ucla. I don't have any upsets so I played it by the rules. My overall winner is UNC with Tyler Hansborough leading them to victory over UCLA.

Coaching Resource: keep those suits away from the kids
ASCAOnline - Your Coaching Resource One of the most disturbing trends that I have seen is age group swimmers, particularly 12 and unders and 10 and unders, in the new hi-tech suits made by all the swimsuit companies, in prelims and finals of these local meets.I agree.

I don't know what's up with NHA. I expect that they had a glitch and the entire team got entered in events. So, I expect that there will be 10 in the event. Only 8 make finals.

Steve Prefontaine
We enjoyed a family movie night. I got to go to the video store. They didn't have "Forrest Gump" -- so -- I got the next best one, "Pre".
We loved it.
All other suggestions are welcome.
We loved it.
Steve Prefontaine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Steve Roland Prefontaine (January 25, 1951 – May 30, 1975) (nicknamed Pre) was an American long distance runner. Prefontaine is considered to be among the greatest and most inspirational runners of the modern era by many of his fans, both during his lifetime and to this day. Prefontaine helped inspire a running boom in the 1970s along with contemporaries Frank Shorter and Bill Rodgers. Born and raised in Coos Bay, Oregon, Prefontaine was primarily a long distance runner who once held the American record in the five distance track events from the 2000 meters to the 10,000 meters.[1] Prefontaine had one leg longer than the other (a common condition that does not affect running speed), and due to this he was told to give up on his dream of being the fastest runner on earth.[citation needed] He is known for his extremely aggressive 'front-running' racing style and for always believing in giving a full effort. Prefontaine died at the age of 24 in a car accident."We need to check out more and more Olympic movies in advance of the 2008 Games.
All other suggestions are welcome.

Heads up on the Last Splash Meet game
Good Morning Coaches!
In keeping with the fun spirit of the last splash at NHA's Last Splash meet will be playing "Deal or No Deal." (Sorry Pete - but we had to have something to compete with last year's walking the plank!)
At the conclusion of each session, the team with the highest number of heat winners for that session will have a representative select from one of 10 "cases" (envelopes) on the deck wall. Those cases will have a task that one of their coaches must complete. It could be anything from making a paper hat out of their heat sheet, a lap of lunges or some kind of swimming event (beware of the 200 fly or 400 IM).
The coach must either complete the task or can take their chances and trade in that envelope for the envelope NHA's Board President has which will contain one of four pre-determined tasks (one for each session). The four tasks will be swim a 50 free, swim a 100 butterfly, 1 lap of lunges or just HAVE A NICE DAY (basically this is a get out of jail free card).
Hope to see you there - have a great rest of the season!
Happy Trails

Grants squad wins the Geography Bee
Grant was the captain of a four-student squad and led the team to a classroom victory in the Geography Bee. The team had a few hard rounds in the first day and was way behind. But, they caught up and finished in a tie for first on the second day (last Friday). The playoff was Monday and Grant team won.
Grant reported that he found the fifth Great Lake. (see comments)
Grant has been doing a good job at attending swim practices, four in a row. Thursday is without practice and we have a violin lesson. This weekend is a USA Swim Meet. Should be with a lot of good races.

Get to bed already
Study: Sleep more - weigh less!
A newsgroup, Supertraining@yahoogroups.com, had this conversation:
Sleep has been demonstrated to be an important regulator of many physiologic functions such as energy balance, appetite, and weight management. Lack of sleep has been linked to alterations in leptin and ghrelin levels (both regulators of appetite) and impaired glucose tolerance. Through these hormonal changes, long-term reductions in sleep may lead to weight gain. The link between sleep duration and obesity has been well established in adults; however, the potential association between short sleep duration or sleep problems and childhood overweight has not been well described.
Adequate Sleep Duration in Childhood May Help Prevent Overweight

Children: Study Ties Too Little Sleep With Too Much Weight
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/01/health/nutrition/01chil.html?
_r=1&ref=fitnessandnutrition&oref=slogin
A study of 7-year-olds has found that sleeping less than nine hours a
night was associated with being overweight or obese, even after
accounting for amounts of television watching and physical exercise.
More Vital Signs Columns »The study, being published Tuesday in the
journal Sleep, also found that short sleep duration was associated
with mood swings. The researchers had followed the subjects — 519
children in New Zealand — since birth, making periodic health and
developmental assessments and interviewing their parents.
Sleep time did not affect I.Q. scores or measures of attention-
deficit/hyperactivity disorder, but children who averaged less than
nine hours' sleep were significantly more likely than the others to
be overweight.
Using sleep monitors, the scientists discovered some other patterns
in the 7-year-olds. On average, the children stayed awake for 48
minutes after they went to bed, and slept about a half-hour longer on
weekdays than weekends. They slept the least in the summer: 40
minutes longer on winter nights, 31 minutes longer in the fall and 15
minutes longer in the spring. Having a younger sibling cost a 7-year-
old an average of 12 minutes of sleep per night.
"The study is important from the perspective of providing another
means of preventing the development of obesity," said Ed Mitchell,
the senior author and a professor of child health research at the
University of Auckland. "At least in New Zealand — and it needs to be
confirmed in other age groups — this seems to be an important factor."
