November 1949 Keeping Strong When I think of the term “Hoop-de-doo,” a different image May 1952 Strength and Skills comes to mind. One also in line with some of the interest and values of Scouting. The image is of Native American July 1962 Strength and Skill Hoop dancers. It is an amazing dance that tells a story with June 1967 Feats of Skill between 1 and 30 hoops. Like basketball, this has become a January 1969 Fit For America competitive sport, with a World Championship held each year at the New Mexico State Fair. Many of these January 1972 Feats of Skill competitions take place at Pow Wows all across the nation. September 1974 Muscle Builders The word Pow Wow comes from an Algonquian word “Pau- January 1976 Tournament wau” which is a gathering of medicine men and spiritual June 1977 Muscle Builders leaders. These events can last just one day or up to three, June 1978 Physical Fitness sometimes for special occasions these gatherings can last up August 1981 Physical Fitness to a week. The term Pow Wow has incorrectly been used to refer to any meeting of Native Americans, but it is a special January 1983 Shape-Up (Winter Olympics) event for gathering, dancing and renewal. Often there are March 1985 Step into Shape dancing competitions at these events. In many Native July 1986 Strength and Skill American cultures, dancing is a method or worship, August 1988 Physical Fitness celebration, and is used for other purposes. The hoop in the April 1994 Shape Up Hoop dance is an never ending circle that can represent the August 2000 Toughen Up circle of life. It is a spiritual symbol. November 2000 Turn On the Power I am not Native American, but I have seen the Hoop Dance and been amazed by the skill of the dancers to move with so many hoops in such a wonderful and beautiful way.

    Playing (with) Sound Of the Animation of Digitized Sounds and their Reenactment by Playful Scenarios in the Design of Interactive Audio Applications Dissertation by Norbert Schnell Submitted for the degree of Doktor der Philosophie Supervised by Prof. Gerhard Eckel Prof. Rolf Inge Godøy Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics University of Music and Performing Arts Graz, Austria October 2013 Abstract Investigating sound and interaction, this dissertation has its foundations in over a decade of practice in the design of interactive audio applications and the development of software tools supporting this design practice. The concerned applications are sound installations, digital in- struments, games, and simulations. However, the principal contribution of this dissertation lies in the conceptualization of fundamental aspects in sound and interactions design with recorded sound and music. The first part of the dissertation introduces two key concepts, animation and reenactment, that inform the design of interactive audio applications. While the concept of animation allows for laying out a comprehensive cultural background that draws on influences from philosophy, science, and technology, reenactment is investigated as a concept in interaction design based on recorded sound materials. Even if rarely applied in design or engineering – or in the creative work with sound – the no- tion of animation connects sound and interaction design to a larger context of artistic practices, audio and music technologies, engineering, and philosophy. Starting from Aristotle’s idea of the soul, the investigation of animation follows the parallel development of philosophical con- cepts (i.e. soul, mind, spirit, agency) and technical concepts (i.e. mechanics, automation, cybernetics) over many centuries.

  • 3X3 Outline for U9
    3X3 Program Outline for U9 (Tykes) 3X3 Basketball has been around for many years but only in the last decade has it become an officially recognized international sport, independent from the 5 on 5 game. 3X3 allows players of all ages to engage, compete, develop and enjoy the sport of basketball in a way that allows all players to be involved in every aspect of the game. By choosing to incorporate 3X3 into your programming, players, coaches and referees can grow their knowledge and skills of the game in a unique way. History of Basketball Welcomes 3X3 The game of basketball was invented by Canadian, Dr. James Naismith, 13 decades ago in 1891. The Original 13 Rules for basketball were simple and user-friendly—click here to view the Original 13 Rules. A number of the Original Rules remain an important component in the game today. Did you know that the first game of basketball was played with 9 players on each team? click here to view the Original 9 Player Positions Basketball was first introduced as an Olympic sport in 1936 in Berlin, Germany. In 2021, 3X3 Basketball will be introduced as an Olympic sport in Tokyo, Japan—the great game of basketball has evolved to become the most exciting game in the world today! The 3X3 outline that follows is designed primarily for youth and takes into consideration Dr. James Naismith’s approach to introduce a game that is enjoyed by all and can be played by everyone. 3X3, as designed by FIBA, is a high-energy, free- flowing and non-contact sport—if they have not already done so, players of all ages will fall in love with the 3X3 game.

  • Basketball and Philosophy, Edited by Jerry L
    BASKE TBALL AND PHILOSOPHY The Philosophy of Popular Culture The books published in the Philosophy of Popular Culture series will il- luminate and explore philosophical themes and ideas that occur in popu- lar culture. The goal of this series is to demonstrate how philosophical inquiry has been reinvigorated by increased scholarly interest in the inter- section of popular culture and philosophy, as well as to explore through philosophical analysis beloved modes of entertainment, such as movies, TV shows, and music. Philosophical concepts will be made accessible to the general reader through examples in popular culture. This series seeks to publish both established and emerging scholars who will engage a major area of popular culture for philosophical interpretation and exam- ine the philosophical underpinnings of its themes. Eschewing ephemeral trends of philosophical and cultural theory, authors will establish and elaborate on connections between traditional philosophical ideas from important thinkers and the ever-expanding world of popular culture.

    SPRINGFIELD COLLEGE ARCHIVES AND SPECIAL COLLECTIONS SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS MANUSCRIPT NUMBER MS 506 James Naismith Papers 1888-2016 (bulk: 1888-1961) Written by Rachael A. Salyer June 2009 Updated by Jeffrey Monseau August 2016 Shelf space occupied 1 linear foot Number of boxes 2 boxes + oversized materials ABSTRACT The materials in this collection relate primarily to the life of Dr. James Naismith. Naismith was born in Almonte, Ontario, Canada in 1861. He graduated from McGill University with an A.B. in 1887 and Presbyterian College in Montreal with a religion degree in 1890. From 1890-91, Naismith was both a student and an instructor at the YMCA Training School (now Springfield College), and he continued as an instructor at the International YMCA Training School until 1895. During Naismith’s second year at Springfield (winter 1891), he invented the game of basketball. Naismith continued his education with a medical degree from the University of Colorado and finally settled at the University of Kansas as a professor and coach. Naismith retired in 1937 and died in 1939. The collection includes photographs, the official records from Naismith’s time at the YMCA Training School, three manuscripts about Naismith (one by Katherine Holmes Naismith that contains transcripts of many letters by Naismith and his family and one by his friend R. Tait McKenzie, the sculptor), a manuscript by Naismith himself entitled “The Origin of Basketball,” Naismith’s correspondence with Springfield College’s Alumni Association (primarily George O. Draper), and a few letters he wrote, including one about basketball in 1898 to T.J. Browne and one from his time in France during World War I.

The findings suggest that there is a clear gender imbalance in sports information and even greater disparities when it comes to the level of sports women oversee and upward mobility within sports information. Systematic and structural factors within the industry ultimately influence women's decisions to leave the field. With a lack of women in these sports information roles personal interactions and relationships sacrificed. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my professors, mentors, colleagues and friends at the University of Oregon who have inspired, pushed and encouraged me throughout my collegiate career.

However, as knowledge surrounding its performance is limited, this study described the frequency, types and outcomes of set-shots in the AFL, and investigated the impact of task, personal, and environmental constraints on goal-kicking performance. We analyzed video footage of set- shots from all 198 AFL 2012 matches, collecting data for kick distance, kick angle, player position, player experience (i.e., general and specific), kick outcome, and weather status. We found an average of 23.0 (SD = 4.5) set-shots/match, with a mean accuracy of 55.0% (SD = 0.7%). Kicking accuracy decreased with incremental increases in kick distance, with accuracy ranging from 97% (0-15m) to 36% (≥50m).
