  • Alex Gallardo Irene Carlson Gallery of Photography Eyes on the Ball April 11 Through May 20, 2011
    Alex Gallardo Irene Carlson Gallery of Photography Eyes on the Ball April 11 through May 20, 2011 An exhibition of photographs Miller Hall, University of La Verne Photographer’s Statement My start in photojournalism began with a slide show program during a beginning photo class at the University of La Verne. It was presented by a well-known photojournalist at the The Sun in San Bernardino, Tom Kasser. His work opened my eyes. Once I had seen what he could do with a camera, it brought me to see, and not just look, at the world around me. Kasser gave me a goal to strive for, to work at The Sun as a staff photographer. Through my undergraduate career I learned the mechanics of the craft. As a lifetime baseball player I already had the competitive gene so I redirected my passion for athletics toward photography. I took a detour in my quest to be a photojournalist after graduating from ULV. A huge mistake cost me thirteen months of my professional life, and almost the use of my legs. I drove a dump truck backwards over a cliff, spent three months in a hospital and at home in a body cast recuperating from injuries. I spent another nine months in physical therapy learning to walk. Doctors told me that I might not regain the use of my legs or walk without assistance for least five years, if ever. Luckily, I had a great physical therapist. We worked hard every day and prayed to regain the use of my legs. Once I began to walk doctors cleared me to continue as a photographer and stay away from driving trucks.

  • Named One of the Top 15 Players in WNBA History
    BECKY HAMMON 1999-2014: NAMED ONE OF THE TOP 15 PLAYERS IN WNBA HISTORY Too small. Too slow. Not very athletic. In 1999, those were some deficiencies offered for why Becky Hammon’s prospects of making it to the WNBA were slim. Fifteen years later, after going from undrafted free agent to one of the league’s 15 greatest players of all-time, Hammon is retiring. She will play her final regular-season home game when the Stars take on defending league champion Minnesota at 7 p.m. today at the AT&T Center.

  • PUBLICATION: ESPN.Com DATE: 1/20/15
    PUBLICATION: ESPN.com DATE: 1/20/15 Best of 2014-15 season's first half By: ESPN.com We're halfway home in 2014-15. Who's been tearing it up thus far? Our esteemed panelists make their picks for the best of the NBA season's first half. 1. Which is the best team of the season's first half? J.A. Adande: Golden State Warriors . It's rare we can slap the label of "best" alongside "most entertaining," but the Warriors consistently play fun games -- and consistently win them. When Andrew Bogut joins Stephen Curry , Klay Thompson , Draymond Green and Harrison Barnes in the starting lineup, the Warriors are 22-1. Bogut brings the interior defense to go with the Warriors' stellar backcourt. Bring back the "We Believe" -- only this time it's time to believe the Warriors can win it all, not just a series. Kevin Arnovitz: Golden State Warriors. Versatility is golden. When you have four or five guys on the floor for 48 minutes who can move the ball, shoot from distance, defend multiple positions and make sound decisions, it's difficult to lose. That's increasingly true with or without a healthy Andrew Bogut, although they're a better team when he's on the floor. Tom Haberstroh: Golden State Warriors, with the NBA's nastiest defense by a mile and an offense that's even scarier as of late. They're 22-1 with Andrew Bogut and Klay Thompson in the starting lineup, and they're averaging 118.6 points over their past 10 games.

  • Investigating the Predictive Relationship Between Sportsmanship
    INVESTIGATING THE PREDICTIVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SPORTSMANSHIP AND CLASS, AGE, TYPE OF SPORT, AND GENDER AT THE UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY by Daniel J. Furlong Liberty University A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Education Liberty University 2021 2 INVESTIGATING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SPORTSMANSHIP AND CLASS, AGE, TYPE OF SPORT, AND GENDER, AT THE UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY By Daniel J. Furlong A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Education Liberty University, Lynchburg, VA 2021 APPROVED BY: Ellen Lowrie Black, Ed.D., Committee Chair Kurt Y. Michael, Ph. D., Committee Member 3 ABSTRACT Traditionally, military leaders accentuate military skill development over developing the moral character of soldiers. However, researchers have made recommendations to investigate components of sportsmanship with the intent to align better with the goals of other development programs that seek to promote character. The purpose of this quantitative, correlational design study was to use a multiple linear regression on an archival data set of Character in Sport Index scores to determine if the linear combination of the variables class, age, type of sport, and gender have predictive significance for Character in Sport Index scores. Subjects included 8,701 cadets between the ages of 17 and 27 years old attending the United States Military Academy (USMA) during the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 academic years. The findings found that the variables class, age, gender, and type of sport play a statistically significant predictive role in terms of Character in Sport Index scores. Therefore, future discussion may be justified as to investigating other avenues involved in sports education to accomplish assessing traditional institutional methods of character development to identify stronger predictive variables.

    The Boston Red Sox Sunday, May 30, 2021 * The Boston Globe Nate Eovaldi, bullpen stellar as Red Sox take second straight win over Marlins Peter Abraham Adam Ottavino punched his fist into his glove and let out a yell as he marched off the mound in the seventh inning Saturday. The righthander even flexed on his way to the dugout, the veins popping in his neck as the fans at Fenway Park roared. Ottavino uncharacteristically went the full Hulk Hogan for a few seconds after striking out Miami Marlins cleanup hitter Garrett Cooper to leave the bases loaded. “Kind of an out-of-body experience there. Glad I was able to make the pitch and just kind of blacked out,” Ottavino said after the Red Sox finished off a 3-1 victory. Credit an assist to the crowd of 25,089, the largest at Fenway Park since the final game of the 2019 season. “That was awesome. The crowd brought it today. That’s what’s been missing at those two-strike moments at home,” Ottavino said. “Feels like that puts a lot of pressure on the hitter.” On the day Massachusetts rescinded its pandemic protocols, the ballpark was abuzz despite the cold, wet, and windy weather. “A lot of energy out there, a lot of excitement. I know the guys were really feeding off that,” said bench coach Will Venable, who managed the team with Alex Cora attending his daughter’s high school graduation. “A couple of guys came into the dugout and we’re talking about how electric it was.” They have a team worth supporting.

  • Lindsay Gaze 1 While I Was Playing at Our National and International Level
    Lindsay Gaze 1 While I was playing at our national and international level my club was privileged to host many fine teams from the United States of America and Europe as well as an occasional stop over in Asia to take part in tournaments or exhibition games. During this period I also had the chance to meet outstanding coaches who have influenced my philosophy of the game and coaching methods. One of the most significant pieces of advice was to select a style of play, learn from others who have similar points of view and stick with it. My own coach, Ken Watson, who coached Australia’s first Olympic team in 1956 and again in 1968, introduced a “shuffle” offence after being impressed by Bruce Drake, one of the assistant coaches of the USA 1956 Olympic team. When I took over coaching the Melbourne “Tigers” in 1971 I adopted similar methods, although many refinements have been made as the skills and athleticism of players have developed incredibly since then. The national teams I coached at Olympics and World Championships from 1972 to 1985 used the same methods as my club teams, but in each case the points of emphasis would vary depending on the talent available. During my time as coach of our national team we were always giving away size and height advantage to our main opponents and yet were able to produce leading scorers such as Eddie Palubinskas, Ian Davies and Andrew Gaze. In 1984 the Australian team was dubbed “the undersize over achievers. The Melbourne “Tigers” shuffle offense requires every player to be capable of playing every position and it is not unusual for the taller forwards and centres to be playing the same roles usually reserved for guards.
