With Jason Garrett deciding to remain with the Dallas Cowboys as offensive coordinator, the Ravens will move on with their coaching search.
Garrett was at team headquarters in Owings Mills, Md. Monday evening and most of Tuesday interviewing with the Ravens' search committee, headed by general manager Ozzie Newsome.
"We did negotiate with Jason Garrett to become our head coach," the team said in a statement. "In the end, he decided to stay in Dallas. We're continuing our second round of interviews. We're excited with the candidates and confident we will select the best head coach for the Ravens."
Newsome attended a practice at the East-West Shrine Game in Houston Wednesday, suspending talks with other candidates for the position.
Now, the group that includes Newsome, owner Steve Bisciotti, president Dick Cass, and senior vice president of public and community relations Kevin Byrne will meet again at 2:00 p.m. Thursday to discuss the next step in the second batch of talks.
The Ravens' list reportedly has Philadelphia Eagles secondary coach John Harbaugh and New York Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, who both interviewed a week after Brian Billick was let go on Dec. 31.
Per reports from ESPN, Garrett will receive a considerable raise and the implied promise that he will eventually supplant Wade Phillips as head coach.
Garrett also interviewed for a second time with the Atlanta Falcons Wednesday to lead that club, a job for which former Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan is said to be in the running.

静岡県にある葛城ゴルフ倶楽部で開催されている、「ヤマハレディースオープン葛城」の2日目は、悪天候によるコースコンディション不良のため9時23分に中断すると、天候の回復が見込めないため中止となった。これにより、初日6オーバー62位タイまでが予選通過。36ホール短縮競技となったため、賞金加算は75％となる。

裏街道からトップでスタートした池田は、14番でセカンドを1メートルにつけてバーディを奪うと、15番パー5でもバーディ奪取に成功。後半となる3番パー5もバーディとした池田は、6番パー5でもチップインバーディを奪い3日目のラウンドを締めた。
池田は「ショットはずっと調子が悪いわけじゃないし、先週も予選落ちしたけど、ただスコアに結びつかなかっただけ」とホールアウト後にコメント。課題のパッティングもこの日はパターを替えて克服。「予選通ったから、バーディ獲って上に行くしかなかった。4つ伸ばして、上がってみればいい位置だったのでラッキーだね」と攻めのゴルフでスコアを伸ばしてみせた。

トータル4アンダーで迎えた最終18番。藤田はセカンドショットをグリーン手前のバンカーに入れピンチを招くが、約15ヤードの距離を直接入れてバーディフィニッシュ。「入れてはいけないところだったので、パーセーブしたかった。上手く切り抜けましたね」と白い歯を見せた。
この日は1番から幸先よくバーディを奪い、7番ではティショットを1メートルにつけ2つ目のバーディ。5番をボギーとするも10番、15番でもスコアを伸ばし、16番では難しいパットをしっかりと合わせにいった。「ああいうパットが合うのはグリーンに対してフィーリングが合っているということ」熟練されえた小技に加えパッティングも冴え、優勝争いに顔を出してきた。
「このコースはビッグスコアが出るコースじゃない。最終的に出せた人が勝てるけど、僕はそんなタイプじゃない。今日のようにアンダーパーが出れば優勝争いはできるけど」とコメントした藤田。明日は「ガツガツいかずに気負わず、落ち着いてやって流れを持ってこれたら」と自然体で今季3勝目を狙いにいく。

山梨県にある富士桜カントリー倶楽部で開催されている、国内男子ツアー「フジサンケイクラシック」。初日から好位置をキープしている岩田寛が、4バーディ・2ボギーとスコアを2つ伸ばし、首位とは2打差のトータル6アンダー2位タイにつけた。

岩田は08年大会でプレーオフまで進むが、藤島豊和に敗れ2位に終わった。その年以降、今大会で思うような成績を残せずにいた。
「自分のスコアがいいと罪悪感があった」。練習をしてきたにも関わらず「あまり練習していないのに、こんなんでいいのかな」と上位の成績を収めても困惑していた。だが今週は「それがない」。練習量も「人並み」といいながらも、納得できるところまで持ってきている。また、ミスをしたら「何で俺ってこんなにヘタなんだろう」と落ち込むこともあったが、今はミスをしても自分を許す気持ちになれた。
明日に向けては「朝の練習場の感じを見てから」作戦を練る岩田は、2打差をひっくり返すには「運…。勝った事がないのでわからないです」と正直の答えた。今、罪悪感の代わりにあるのは「楽しいとかですかね」と答えた岩田。逆転で念願の初優勝を飾ることができるか。

San Diego Golf For All
No matter how much or how little experience you have with the game, you'll find that a San Diego golf facility offers something for the entire family. And with a variety of San Diego tee times, you and your family can schedule games when San Diego golf courses are not nearly as crowded – which also means that your greens fees are going to be less as well.
San Diego Golf Choices
San Diego golf is offered at both private county clubs as well as many well-maintained, low-cost, citizen-funded San Diego public golf facilities. There are distinct advantages to each; for example, a San Diego golf course at one of the area's exclusive private country clubs usually offers many amenities, such as restaurants, cocktail lounges, reception facilities and even alternatives such as tennis and swimming pools. The downside is that such clubs tend to be expensive and usually require that one be sponsored by a current member in good standing in order to gain membership. In addition, a private San Diego golf course typically requires a long-term commitment, though visitors to the area can often purchase a two-week temporary membership.
If you are a visitor to the area, you'll most likely prefer the lower costs and convenience of a San Diego public golf course; while these may not have dining facilities or other amenities, the courses themselves compare quite favorably with their privately-owned counterparts. On the other hand, if you are planning to settle in San Diego – and particularly if you have family members who are not themselves golfers – a private San Diego golf facility may suit your needs quite well so that the wife and kids can occupy themselves with other activities while you're tear up the greens.
The other advantage to the private San Diego golf and country club is of course the event facilities, that are available to members for such things as weddings, graduation parties, bar-mitzvahs and such. These may be included in the membership fees. If they're not, your family will most certainly be entitled to membership discounts on such services.
Remember San Diego Tee Times
Keep in mind that regardless of whether you plan on playing at a San Diego public golf course or a private country club, you'll have to schedule your tee time in advance. Fortunately, virtually all San Diego golf courses maintain web sites through which you can book tee times of your choosing. Remember that your typical San Diego golf course is going to be much less crowded during the week, meaning you'll be able to enjoy a more pleasant and relaxed round of San Diego golf.

Baseball Tips On Hitting: How To Approach Hitting When You Are Behind In The Count!
It's not the end of the world when a baseball hitter is behind in the count. Sometimes some of the best baseball tips on hitting require the hitter to do less and not more. Here is the proper approach you really should take.
If a baseball hitter falls behind in the count at 0-2 or 1-2, he is forced into more of a defensive mode. When the hitter is ahead in the count, he can decide what type of pitch and pitch location he will swing at.
Now, when the hitter is behind in the count, just the exact opposite is true. Now he must swing at the pitcher's pitch. The pitcher basically now decides what the hitter has to swing at and the hitter can no longer be selective as to what he would like to hit. The hitter may be very wise to slightly alter his swing. Good baseball hitters all realize that there is nothing wrong with conceding a little to the pitcher. They put their egos aside and it's more important to have a successful at bat.
When A Hitter Is Behind In The Count:
1) You should work from the "outside in". This simply means that you must gear yourself for a tough low and away strike and adjust if the pitch is over the inside part of the plate. You can look "away" and adjust "in" but it's very difficult to look "in" and adjust to the pitch that's "away." Working from the outside in is one of those baseball tips on hitting that's been around for years but has withstood the test of time. It still holds true.
2) When behind in the count and with two strikes on them, some very good hitters will spread their feet a little wider than usual, take no stride at all, choke up and just try to put the ball in play. This is smart hitting. They are good hitters and realize they are at a disadvantage and just want to make contact and let the chips fall where they may.
3) There is nothing wrong with conceding a little to the pitcher when the pitcher has the count in his favor and you, the hitter, are behind in the count.
You may be very pleasantly surprised that even though this is one of the baseball tips on hitting that requires you to be more defensive in your approach, you may get several hits by simply focusing on just putting the ball in play. Real good hitters refer to this as "not trying to do too much" at the plate. Sometimes just focusing on putting the ball in play brings about excellent results.

How To Paddle A Surf Ski In The Ocean
Best Time in Buying a Surf Ski
As the old adage says, there is always an appropriate place and time for everything. This even applies when buying a surf ski and other seasonal products. Surf skis are used in beaches, and beaches are usually visited during spring break and the summer season. But does this mean that these are the only times when a surf ski should be bought? Of course not! Besides spring and summer seasons, there are specific dates when surf skis are good for purchase.
The first week of January is actually an ideal time, since the commodities are still priced low and there are still surpluses of other materials that have been made during the previous years. This is also a good advantage since the old stocks of surf skis might actually be available up to that particular time only so you’ll actually get a BIG bargain out of it.
Couples are usually seen at beach, so buying during Valentine’s Day, even if it is quite inappropriate to surf at the beach during winter, is an ideal thing. Most products are for sale at low prices especially when they are not in use for that particular season.
Some stores can also give birthday discounts for those people who would like to buy a surf ski as a present. This is quite rare but precious when found. A buyer can either search for promos on the internet or ask some personnel about "on sale" possibilities.
Thanksgiving is also a great day for buying surf skis, as long as family-oriented holidays such as Father’s Day and Mother’s Day, since activities that are fun to do with the whole gang (which include surf skiing) are frequently done at such times.
Of course, the best time to buy a surf ski would be around Christmas, since all products’ prices go down to almost half the price. Buying a surf ski at this time will also be less of hassle, since a lot of people are into Christmas items such as decorative balls, garlands and holiday socks, which will give you breathing space to pick the best surf ski that will fit your personality.
Time is not only the buyer’s sole basis when it comes to buying the surf ski despite the lower price range. You always have to think about the price. Unusual discounts might actually be an indication that a new and updated version of a surf ski will be available after a little while. So better canvass first before making any purchase.

High School Football Scouting - Recruiting Services
"During the high school football scouting process, you might start to notice some differences between high school and college football. One thing that I notice that is different for me from high school to college football is the speed of the game is faster. Everyone is faster, even the big guys. Your 'O' line, your 'D' line, your linebackers, your tight-end - everyone's bigger. They're all bigger and they're all faster. Wide-receivers are a lot quicker. That's one thing that I noticed in high school football scouting.
Because of that one fact that everyone's bigger faster and stronger than they were in high school, you have to become a student of the game. What that means is that you're going to spend just as much time watching film, learning plays, and running through plays as you do in school - because that's how you get the edge. It's a whole new level of play - after high school scouting - once you get to the college football level, especially if it's a D1 level.
One way that faith and your beliefs will play into college football: You have to have a strong belief in yourself and you have to have faith that things are going to work out the way that they're supposed to, even when the don't. You have to be ready for the worst, but you have to hope for the best. Believe in yourself, know that you can do whatever you want to do, no matter what anybody tells you. If somebody tells you that you can't do something that should give you more of a drive to do it and to make yourself better." -Jayson Rego (Running back for the University of Hawaii)
"The junior college football recruiting process isn't much different from that of the bigger schools. You shouldn't feel bad looking into junior college football recruiting. I started out looking into junior colleges and later on, towards the end of my senior season I was fortunate enough to be recruited by the University of Hawaii as well as Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.
There are a lot of high school athletes that aspire to play at the Division 1 level and currently aren't getting looks from the Division I schools. Some of them are only getting looks from junior colleges, and some aren't getting any looks at all. My biggest piece of advise would be: don't be discouraged. I know a lot of athletes who took the long route, or developed later, or were just overlooked by coaches that didn't see their talent - and they went to play at junior colleges and persevered through it all - and now they're playing professionally.
If it's something that you really want to do it can be done. Whether you're interested in a bigger school or the junior college football recruiting process, you have to work hard. Hard work beats out talent when talent doesn't work hard. There is no substitution for hard work." -Inoke Funaki (Quarterback for the University of Hawaii)
"College football recruiting services can help you get recruited, but one piece of advice I would give any high school athlete going into college, education wise, is to go into a degree that will be good for you - something that you like, something that you enjoy, but also something that you could see yourself doing in the future. A lot of college athletes go into school thinking 'Oh, I'm just going to play football' and they don't have a backup plan. So when their football career is done they're stuck with nothing. They don't have a degree, they haven't finished, or they're going into something that they can't do anything with. So my advice would be - coming out of high school, going into college - make sure your degree is applicable, and is something that you want to do, and make sure it's a good backup plan for you. Talk to a college football recruiting service, so that if you finish with football at the end of your career you know that it's something that will work out for you and be good for your future.
If there's one thing that I would have done differently in high school while being recruited it's: I wouldn't have given a verbal commitment so early, because when you do that some teams tend to back off. Some schools tend to pull out - if they're giving you and offer, they won't anymore, and they'll look at someone else instead. So that's one thing that I would have done differently: not commit so early. College football recruiting services can help with that process" -Jayson Rego (Running back for the University of Hawaii)

If somebody tells you that you can't do something that should give you more of a drive to do it and to make yourself better." -Jayson Rego (Running back for the University of Hawaii)
"The junior college football recruiting process isn't much different from that of the bigger schools. You shouldn't feel bad looking into junior college football recruiting. I started out looking into junior colleges and later on, towards the end of my senior season I was fortunate enough to be recruited by the University of Hawaii as well as Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.
There are a lot of high school athletes that aspire to play at the Division 1 level and currently aren't getting looks from the Division I schools. Some of them are only getting looks from junior colleges, and some aren't getting any looks at all. My biggest piece of advise would be: don't be discouraged. I know a lot of athletes who took the long route, or developed later, or were just overlooked by coaches that didn't see their talent - and they went to play at junior colleges and persevered through it all - and now they're playing professionally.
If it's something that you really want to do it can be done. Whether you're interested in a bigger school or the junior college football recruiting process, you have to work hard. Hard work beats out talent when talent doesn't work hard. There is no substitution for hard work." -Inoke Funaki (Quarterback for the University of Hawaii)
"College football recruiting services can help you get recruited, but one piece of advice I would give any high school athlete going into college, education wise, is to go into a degree that will be good for you - something that you like, something that you enjoy, but also something that you could see yourself doing in the future. A lot of college athletes go into school thinking 'Oh, I'm just going to play football' and they don't have a backup plan. So when their football career is done they're stuck with nothing. They don't have a degree, they haven't finished, or they're going into something that they can't do anything with. So my advice would be - coming out of high school, going into college - make sure your degree is applicable, and is something that you want to do, and make sure it's a good backup plan for you. Talk to a college football recruiting service, so that if you finish with football at the end of your career you know that it's something that will work out for you and be good for your future.
If there's one thing that I would have done differently in high school while being recruited it's: I wouldn't have given a verbal commitment so early, because when you do that some teams tend to back off. Some schools tend to pull out - if they're giving you and offer, they won't anymore, and they'll look at someone else instead. So that's one thing that I would have done differently: not commit so early. College football recruiting services can help with that process" -Jayson Rego (Running back for the University of Hawaii)

High School Football Scouting - Recruiting Services
"During the high school football scouting process, you might start to notice some differences between high school and college football. One thing that I notice that is different for me from high school to college football is the speed of the game is faster. Everyone is faster, even the big guys. Your 'O' line, your 'D' line, your linebackers, your tight-end - everyone's bigger. They're all bigger and they're all faster. Wide-receivers are a lot quicker. That's one thing that I noticed in high school football scouting.
Because of that one fact that everyone's bigger faster and stronger than they were in high school, you have to become a student of the game. What that means is that you're going to spend just as much time watching film, learning plays, and running through plays as you do in school - because that's how you get the edge. It's a whole new level of play - after high school scouting - once you get to the college football level, especially if it's a D1 level.
One way that faith and your beliefs will play into college football: You have to have a strong belief in yourself and you have to have faith that things are going to work out the way that they're supposed to, even when the don't. You have to be ready for the worst, but you have to hope for the best. Believe in yourself, know that you can do whatever you want to do, no matter what anybody tells you.

The Predators Turn Into The Prey in Shark Fishing
I was eight years old when I saw the movie Jaws and it wasn’t until 7 years later that the situation was to be turned around through shark sportfishing. Immediately after watching Jaws, I was frightened to get in the ocean. A few months later, I noticed they wouldn't normally come close to you in shallow waters unless you’re in a motion picture or extremely unlucky. However for years, I thought that sharks were generally superior to men and women. That sharks kill human beings but not the other way around.
Picture my joyfulness when I found out that the hunter may actually become prey. I was 15 when I found out I can track down sharks and I’ve been hunting them ever since. It’s like payback for my younger years lived in fright of the shark getting rid of my limbs, letting me expire slowly, but surely.
I love shark fishing. I'm not sure if it is because I understand I can be better than the shark or because it’s just fun. But while I really like being better than the shark, it wasn’t exciting when I saw pictures of how Taiwan anglers were destroying hoards of "biologically vulnerable" sharks. These are sharks which are a bit of weaklings, not exactly the Jaws type.
The Taiwanese shark fishing is for the fins to maintain the Chinese specialty of using shark’s fin as a delicacy. The truth is, I loved shark angling but I don’t do it in a commercial sense. It was a pastime that would take 1 shark per week or perhaps 2. Kill one for food then put back one to live and to make babies.
If you see the pictures acquired by the Pew Environment Group, you want to think twice about going shark fishing. It’s really awful, looking at those de-finned and bleeding sharks left on the side of the road. Some are even tossed back into the water to perish. These fishermen are animals. They ought to be thrown into the water.
It brought to mind a photo taken in Japan of anglers hurting dolphins and whales in shallow waters to supply the sushi industry. Tsk, tsk. Many Americans just love sushi, me, included. But when I saw that picture, I just stopped eating sushi.
As for the commercial shark fishing, the Taiwanese Government promised to create more rigid laws on this. It wasn’t mentioned how but what was definite was that de-finned sharks should no longer be thrown back into the water.
