Math Teams have had their golden moment: in Mean Girls, popular girl Cady (played by Lindsay Lohan) is a key player on the "Mathletes."

Dry suits are the key to diver comfort in cold waters and extreme situations, so when choosing one, you'll want to research the different options before you get to the dive shop. The last thing you want is to walk away with a $3,000 suit you'll never use or a membrane suit that will leave you trapped underwater and freezing. Wet suits are great for warmer water dives because the neoprene material allows water in and traps it against the body, which then heats up to your temperature and insulates the body. The general rule of thumb for wet suits is: the tighter the fit, the better. Otherwise water will just keep entering and exiting the suit, without time to heat up against your body. You can choose...

It has become quite clear to me that sports may be even more beneficial than we realize in the lives of young people. In addition to all the known benefits of being involved in sports, like exercise, the learning of new skills, making friends, etc. there are also enormous benefits of rescuing young people who find themselves on the "outside" of things. No one doubts how difficult it is for young people to grow up these days and to try to make good choices with so many things pulling against them. It is tough to find yourself a loner with very little in common with most of the people that are in your midst. It is also great to be an individual and be your own unique self and not feel like you need to...

If you're like most of us you probably played the game as a kid. Your parents or a friend's parents may have set up a net in the backyard, used string to draw some lines for a court and then got out of your way. You may even have happy memories of lobbing the bird over the net to your friend or brother or smashing it into your opponent's stomach. Things have changed If you watched the Summer Olympics recently you may have stumbled onto Olympic badminton. If so, you have seen that it's not just a kid's game.

I am in my early thirties and I just feel so lucky knowing that we now enjoy the products of technology from having to communicate easily to entertainment. I could never imagine how life was during my parents' childhood years. They would say "You are lucky we have all sorts of phones to communicate, television to watch when you have to stay home all day and relax, shopping malls to buy your stuff, disco's and bars when you want to hang out with friends, coffee shops when you want to show off your new laptop and enjoy internet connection, playgrounds, Arena for football games, paintball and more, Arcade for computer games - so much that you tend to use them so abusively. But on the contrary, they are...

Women who do not play sports will find themselves at a disadvantage in the work place. In America business are setup around the principles of organization, structure and relationships acquired by interaction with other people. Men learn these things through the participation in sports. Sports has been the most important way to learn these things. Men start to learn these things at an early age when they join the little league or play peewee football or baseball. Up until recently, only boys and men participated at a level that can teach them the skills they will be using for the rest of their lives in business. They do not even realize this.

PGA Golf at risk The organising body of professional golf in the United States may be trying really hard to convince both professionals and fans alike that they will be able to weather the storm, or should we say tornado, because of their close ties to business, but even they must be aware that it is business itself that is really feeling the heat, with even the traditional giants toppling with ease. Consider the remarkable amount of money up for grabs in the celebrated FedEx Cup competition and then ruminate over the recent news that FedEx is trimming their full-year earnings outlook by 4% and that was in August, well before the collapse of Wall Street.

I consider myself plenty intelligent. Still, there are some things I just can't wrap my head around. One of these things is dodgeball. I don't understand dodge ball at all. When did it become 'fun' for kids to hurl hard plastic balls at one another? And why is this considered a game instead of a form of violence? I can remember being on the playground as a child and dreading dodgeball. We had no way to get out of it. Out on the concrete, our gym teachers would herd us into a circle and pick a few unlucky kids - usually the new kids - to stand in the circle. These kids in the circle were the targets for other kids to try to hit with the balls. The kids would have to bob and weave and try to keep from...

If you work-out, whether it be at the gym or on your own, sometimes you get injured. Sure, it may be just a muscle pull or a strain, but it's still an injury. Unlike professional athletes, you don't have a full medical staff to help you take care of your injury. So, you may choose to ignore it and just keep going. The problem with that is, if you don't take care of your injury and do something about it, that muscle pull or strain could turn into something worse. Like a muscle tear. For that reason, it's imperative that you really take care of your injury as soon as it happens. Don't just ignore it. What you should do when you get a muscle strain is to stop what you're doing and access how bad it is...

The idea behind the invention of air hockey table was to provide a surface that does not have friction. So a team of three engineers named Crossman, Kendrick and Baldwin of Brunswick started working on this idea in order to create a frictionless surface and increases playing speed. Even after working hard for many years on the idea, they failed to generate interest in their idea. Then, in 1972, Bob Lemieux, a dedicated person who himself had played air hockey with a puck and mallets, took the idea from the original engineers and picked up where they had left off. Lemieux finally succeeded in creating the first hockey table that was without friction because of its low flowing air vents. Air Hockey...

Whenever the sports conversations turn to the subject of the best athlete or team or anything the talk tends to escalate to a "best all time sports debate." Such was the case when a recent online discussion evolved into the subject of the Giants performance in Super Bowl XLII and whether or not the Pats, after losing in the past, could actually do anything to win a big game when everything is on the line. Surprisingly, this conversation did not stay on track for long. After a few rounds of ice tea and crackers, the conversation moved, for some unknown reason, to the Seattle Mariners. Our resident historian talked about the team and how they played in 2001 and someone mentioned how they tended to...

As such, continually engaging with your peers and team members and creating the right forums and tools for proper feedback is essential in order for your business to succeed. Giving constructive feedback is a skill that needs to be learned. As such, organising a feedback training seminar for your...
