(Continued Page 2) February 17 Program: Jody Hunt, Asst. U.S. Attorney General February 10, 2020 Volume 55, Issue 28 Page 2 The World Games 2021 - Birmingham (Continued from Page 1) The World Games 2021 will start with the Opening Ceremony on July 15, 2021. The TWG Plaza is a free family-friendly celebration of the extraordinary sports experience. Athlete’s Night is July 21, 2021. The Closing Ceremony of the Eleventh World Games on July 25, 2021 will include live enter- tainment as athletes, fans and volunteers bid farewell. A World Games Countdown Clock for Bir- mingham is located on the Red Mountain Expressway overpass. The International World Games Association was founded in 1981. The IWGA is made up of 37 Inter- national Sports Federations Members and is recognized by The International Olympic Committee (IOC). Through 2017, the nations with the most World Game medals are, in order, Italy, Germany, USA, Russia and France. Former World Games sports now in the Olympic Games include badmin- ton, beach volleyball, trampolining, rugby sevens, taekwondo, triathlon and women’s weightlifting. The World Games will have a projected economic impact of $256,000,000. In November 2019, more than 40 educators from throughout the state participated in a two-day workshop to brainstorm ways to bring The World Games 2021 into kindergarten through 8th grade classrooms across Alabama through the “Live Healthy, Play Global” initiative. The 2021 Games will be incorporated into history, civics and physical education classes across Alabama. The Birming- ham Organizing Committee felt it was important to offer students ways to learn about different cul- tures in their home state. The World Games 2021 Vice President of Community Engagement Kathy Boswell said the wheels are already in motion to take what was learned from the event and get it into classroom curriculums. The World Games involves modern, popular and exciting sports that many of us do not have a chance to witness live or on television. In nearly every sport, Birmingham will host the top athletes in the world. We hosted the Argentina-USA soccer game as part of the Atlanta Olympics, but Bir- mingham has never been the focus of the entire world in 33 different sports. Sponsoring governments are the City of Birmingham, Jefferson County, State of Alabama and the Greater Birmingham Convention & Visitors Bureau. On Dec. 4, 2019, Chairman Jonathan Porter announced the appointment of Nick Sellers as CEO of The World Games 2021. Corporate sponsors include Alabama Power, BlueCross & BlueShield of Alabama, Protective Life, Regions Bank and Shipt. Some 10 Partners have been named, to include event management, sports-related and ac- counting concerns. While the final list of venues has not been determined, events will take place at the following con- firmed sports venues: The BJCC, UAB – including Bartow Arena and BBVA Stadium, Barber Motor- sports Park and Museum, Oak Mountain State Park, Sloss Furnaces and Birmingham Southern Col- lege. Those wishing to volunteer can access the website of The World Games 2021 @ https:// theworldgames2021.com. Prayer by Jon Lewis ((by request of many of you) Let us Pray: For people who are blind and cannot see, and for those who can see but are blind to the people around them. For people who move slowly because of accident, illness or disability, and for those who move too fast to be sensitive to the world in which they live. For people who are deaf and cannot hear, and those who can hear but who ignore the cries of others. For people who learn slowly, for people who learn in different ways, and for people who learn quickly but too often fail to act wisely. For people who have chronic illnesses for which there is no known cure or relief, and for those who live fearfully of being ill. For people who feel isolated by their disabilities, and for people who contribute to that sense of isolation. May we learn to respect each other and learn to live together in dignity and in peace.

TME, vol. 18, nos. 1&2, p. 331 DanceSport and Power Values Diana Cheng Towson University, USA Peter Coughlin University of Maryland, USA ABSTRACT: DanceSport is a competitive form of ballroom dancing. At a DanceSport event, couples perform multiple dances in front of judges. This paper shows how a goal for a couple and the judges' eval- uations of the couple's dance performances can be used to formulate a weighted simple game. We explain why couples and their coaches may consider a variety of goals. We also show how prominent power values can be used to measure the contributions of dance performances to achieving certain goals. As part of our analysis, we develop novel visual representations of the Banzhaf and Shapley-Shubik index profiles for different thresholds. In addition, we show that the \quota paradox" is relevant for DanceSport events.

  • Floorball As a New Sport
    Rositsa Bliznakova Floorball as a New Sport Case Study: Bulgaria as a Floorball Destination from Insider’s Point of View University of Jyväskylä Department of Sport Sciences Social Sciences of Sport Master’s Thesis Spring 2011 2 UNIVERSITY OF JYVÄSKYLÄ Department of Sport Sciences/Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences Master’s Degree Programme in Sport Science and Management BLIZNAKOVA, ROSITSA Floorball as a New Sport Case Study: Bulgaria as a Floorball Destination from Insider’s Point of View Master’s Thesis, 95 pages (Appendices 3 pages) Social Sciences of Sport Spring 2011 ABSTRACT Floorball is a relatively new but quickly growing sport. Together with its development and spreading its importance grows as well. However previously conducted research on floorball from its managerial point of view is rare, especially on an international scale. The present investigation makes an attempt to fill this gap in a holistic manner. It explores the research problem of finding the potentials of floorball as a sustainably successful sport – worldwide and in the case country, Bulgaria. For this purpose the study utilizes the tasks of collecting and systematizing existing relevant data, binding floorball to theoretical frameworks of contemporary science and observing its development level and current issues globally and locally. The research uses a qualitative, ethnographic approach to obtain its goals, and includes participant observation, unstructured and semi-structured interviews. Data is analysed through a combination of qualitative analysis tools – thematic analysis, discourse analysis, content analysis, visual data analysis, etc. The primary data has been gathered in Finland, as well as in Bulgaria and consists of observation of key events and interaction with key informants.

  • 2016-2017 Annual Report
    2016-2017 ANNUAL REPORT 1 Honorable Kay Ivey Governor of Alabama State Capitol Montgomery, AL 36130 Dear Governor Ivey: I am pleased to submit the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources’ Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2016-17. The Department continues to find more efficient ways to communicate and con- duct business with our constituents. License purchases, special hunt registrations and park lodge and camping reservations are available through our websites, www.outdooralabama.com and www.alapark.com. In addition, we are communi- cating to more than half a million people through email newsletters and notices. Funds derived from the cap on sales tax discounts were restored to State Parks in FY 2017. These funds have provided much-needed relief in addressing the back- log of park maintenance projects. Park guests totaled just under 5 million this fiscal year. The federal management of red snapper and other reef fish continues to be a highly volatile issue within the fishing community. Our Marine Resources Division is working with federal agencies and Congress to provide more state oversight of this fishery and a longer season for anglers. Snapper Check, which continued for the fourth year, is an important part of this effort. The State Lands Division has administered the Coastal Impact Assistance Program (CIAP) on behalf of the State of Alabama since its beginning in 2005. During the life of this program, which closed this year, State Lands administered 49 grants for over $58 million funding various coastal project activities supporting Mobile and Baldwin counties. Participation in the state’s Game Check system for the recording and reporting of both deer and turkey harvests became mandatory during the 2016/2017 hunting seasons.

  • 2021 Guide to Gymnastics Team
    At Spokane Gymnastics, the coaches focus on encouraging the development of strength, skill and character through gymnastics training in a positive environment. We strive to offer a program where every student has the greatest opportunity to succeed, no matter what their level or goal. We strive to balance teaching proper gymnastics skills, terminology and progressions in a fun environment where students are taught by breaking down the elements of the particular skills, hands- on “spotting” and training, low student-to-coach ratios and positive reinforcement. We believe that gymnastics is not only one of the most rewarding sports with unlimited benefits to other activities, but also FUN! Gymnastics not only increases strength, flexibility and balance, it is also encourages hard work, discipline and determination. Women's Artistic Gymnastics There are four events in Women's Artistic Gymnastics – Vault, Uneven Bars, Balance Beam and Floor Exercise. Although most sports have seasons, gymnastics is a year-round commitment for athletes at the upper levels. Vault A successful vault begins with a strong, accelerated run. The best vaulters explode off the springboard with tremendous quickness during the pre-flight phase of the vault. When the gymnast pushes off of the vault table (also informally referred to as the horse) judges look for proper body position and instantaneous propulsion and explosive force. They watch the height and distance traveled as well as the number of flips and twists. Gymnasts strive to stick their landing by taking no extra steps. Uneven Bars Many consider the uneven bars the most spectacular of women's events, since to be successful the gymnasts must display strength as well as concentration, courage, coordination and split-second timing.
