The 77-year-old man from Nepal is now the oldest person to have reached the top of Chomolungma or Mount Everest. Sherchan just 23 days away from his 77th birthday beat the age record set last year by 71-year-old Japanese teacher Katsusuke Yanagisawa.

Min Bahadur Sherchan last attempt resulted in the rescue of Lincoln Hall, an Australian climber who was left by his team in the “death zone.”

With the Chinese preparing for the impending summer Olympic Games, Bahadur Sherchan noted that the government’s actions hardly reflected the Olympic spirit. They flexed their muscles this year all the in name of the Olympic spirit, but it was hardly spirited at all.”

Hall was frostbitten and severely disoriented due to altitude sickness. Andrew Brash returned a hero to Calgarians. Andrew Brash returned this week from Nepal after successfully climbing to the summit of Everest. The Chinese were flying their airplanes over the Mount Everest and had Chinese officials in Kathmandu. More than 3178 people have climbed to the summit since it was first conquered in 1953 by New Zealander Edmund Hillary, who died in January, and Nepal’s Tenzing Norgay.

As he planned for the climb, Sherchan told reporters he wanted to inspire fellow senior citizens. He also said many Nepalese have established records on Mount Everest, so it was only fitting that the record for the oldest climber to reach the summit should also belong to a Nepali. Further, he was all too aware of the potential dangers Mt Everest could bring. Certain parts of the climb are more dangerous than others and it is important for climbers to remain focused Nepalese climber, 74, oldest person to scale the top of Chomolungma His first found him within 193 metres of the peak when his team stopped to help a fellow mountaineer who was left for dead. later, Bahadur Sherchan, a University of Calgary alumni, returned to Mount Everest to finish what he had started.

“The Chinese weren’t allowing anybody on Mt Everest. They ended up commandeering it for themselves, even though Chomolungma or Mount Everest is shared by two countries. Now that Min Bahadur Sherchan has successfully scaled the tallest mountain in the world, he is once again ready to focus on his family. “the Mount Everest this year became a political pawn,” he said with some frustration.

Andrew Brash and four climbing guides reached the 29,035-foot (8,850-meters) summit of the world’s highest mountain early Sunday, said Ramesh Chretri, an official with Nepal’s ministry of tourism.

Nevertheless, the decision to actualize a long-time personal goal left Andrew Brash with some internal uncertainties, he cited the political actions of China and Nepal as providing the greatest adversity he faced on his journey. This season French alpinist Anthony Loeff is reporting the scales for Everest after reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro earlier this season.

They basically coerced the Nepali government to not allow any climbers past camp two on the Nepali side.

One out of every two golfers will incur a lower back injury during their playing careers, are you one of them?

Almost every golfer on the planet has at some time or another felt their lower back “tighten” up on the course, after a round, or even getting out of bed. Why is this so? The reason for the high number of lower back injuries in the sport of golf is a result of the golf swing itself!

The golf swing is a rotational movement. It requires you to rotate around a fixed spine. The lower back takes the brunt of the pressure of the twisting and turning.

The rotation and torque can make your lower back very easily fatigued or injured. The question to ask is how to counteract the stresses placed on the lower back?

There are a number of ways to help you “dodge the injury bullet” when it comes to the lower back.

Lower back injuries generally occur because of three different reasons.

1. Poor Swing Mechanics

2. Weak Lower Back Muscles

3. Workloads

The first category has to do with your swing mechanics.

A research study (don’t quote me on the exact %) indicated that the rate of lower back injuries in the amateur golfer was 60% higher than professionals in the sport. The study determined the number was statically higher in amateurs because of the shear forces created in the golf swing.

The amount of shear forces created in the amateur’s golf swing was exponentially higher than the professional. Professionals have a much more efficient golf swing, lowering the shear forces placed upon the lower back compared to the typical amateur.

The second category refers to the physical aqspect of the golf swing.

The lower back is used extensively in order to swing the golf club properly. If the lower back is weak, over time it will become fatigued. Once the muscles of the lower back become fatigued, the ability to swing the club with the same force becomes much more difficult. Additionally, once the lower back is tired, and you continue to perform the movements of the golf swing. The lower back will become sore and eventually you will injure it.

The final reason golfers tend to have many lower back injuries is workloads.

Simply put, workloads are the number of swings you take within a certaintime frame. For example, a PGA Tour player during a competitive week on Tour may swing a club well over 1,000 times. This is the total number of swings over a 7 day period can be defined as the Tour players workloads for that week.

A lower back injury can incur if the workloads for any golfer become too high. Regardless of the efficiency within the golf swing mechanics or the strength of the lower back, too high of a workload will lead to injury. For example, in you were to go to the range and execute 1,000 swings of the golf club in a 3-hour time frame. The likelihood of a lower back injury is very high. Why? Because the workloads are too high within the give time fame for any golfer!

The key in regards to workloads is to match up the efficiency of your golf swing and the strength within the lower back. If you have poor golf swing mechanics and a weak lower back, your workloads should be very low. If you have moderately efficient golf swing mechanics and a fairly strong lower back. The workloads can be higher.

What is the best way to avoid a lower back injury?

Simple, it is a 3-step process.

Number one; develop efficient golf swing mechanics. This can be done through proper instruction, practice, and time.

Number two; implement a golf fitness program into your exercise routine. This type of program will strengthen your lower back in relation to the golf swing.

Number three; monitor the number of swings you make with the club in relation to points one and two.

I am always looking for new and easier ways to play better golf. So imagine my delight when I dreamed up this way of improving my game.

I was just lying in bed one Sunday morning dozing and dreaming about playing a great round in the competition coming up that afternoon.

For no really good reason I decided that it would be fun to play a round of golf in my head. So up I got on the first tee and that’s where it happened.

As I was addressing the ball in my mind’s eye I suddenly thought “hang on a moment; how about, instead of just watching the ball fly around the golf course, I watch myself actually playing the shots!”

Let me tell you that when I first tried this I was shocked by the way that I kept losing balance as I strove to hit the ball long distances. The question that kept coming into my mind as I watched myself was: “Do I really look like that?”

It was pretty shocking to see the way I was swinging the club. Actually, I’ll rephrase that - it was shocking the way I was trying to club the ball around the course.

Right then and there I jumped out of bed and went downstairs and put on a golf instruction video. I watched intently for about half an hour and then I went back up to bed and started to visualize myself swinging exactly like the instructor.

I have to tell you that it didn’t work for me that first time when I tried it. The problem was that I didn’t really like the instructors swing. I thought he looked a bit ‘chunky’ and ‘clumsy’.

So what I did next was to watch a big tournament on TV. By the end of a day spent like a couch potato I had picked out my man. A few minutes research on the Internet and I had ordered a copy of his instruction video.

The moment the package arrived I played the whole video from end to end twice without stopping. I just couldn’t wait for bed time so I could doze off and start visualizing myself swinging like my new hero.

A few days later I had perfected the art of seeing myself swinging like my hero, shot after shot, hole after hole. All I had to do was close my eyes and there I was swinging far more elegantly and with good balance. The ball ripped out over the smoothly cut turf. I couldn’t wait to get to the golf course.

For the first few holes I was just too excited, my whole body motor was running too fast for anything to work. Then for another few holes I was disappointed and disillusioned. But for the last seven holes of that round I managed to relax and just let the pictures in my mind play the shots and wow, what a difference!

It was not long after that when people started to call me a Bandit. I love to be called a Bandit, it means I am winning and that’s what my web site at http://www.The-Golf-Bandit.com is all about.

The Golf Bandit believes that anyone - including you - can become a Winner at Golf. He didn’t pick up a club until he was 40 years old, but now he wins so often that other golfers call him a Bandit. God bless them! He learned the hard way, cursing and swearing his way around hundreds of courses, so he understands how difficult you find the game, BUT he can assure you, there are ways to make winning easier.

Everyone will inadvertently hit a frustrating plateau in their
training at one time or another. You’re cruising along for a
while, gaining strength, losing fat, looking better, and then
all of the sudden it hits. Suddenly, you find yourself even
weaker than before on your lifts, or you find that you’ve gained
back a couple of pounds. It happens to everyone. Most of the
time, these plateaus occur because people rarely change their
training variables over time. Many people stick to the same
types of exercises for the same basic sets and reps and rest
periods with the same boring cardio routine. Well, I hope to
open your mind and bring some creativity to your workouts with
this article!

There are many ways that you can strategically modify your
training variables to assure that you maximize your fat loss
and/or muscle building response to exercise. Most people only
think about changing their sets and reps performed, if they even
think about changing their routine at all. However, other
variables that can dramatically affect your results are changing
the order of exercises (sequence), exercise grouping
(super-setting, circuit training, tri-sets, etc.), exercise type
(multi-joint or single joint, free-weight or machine based), the
number of exercises per workout, the amount of resistance, the
time under tension, the base of stability (standing, seated, on
stability ball, one-legged, etc.), the volume of work (sets x
reps x distance moved), rest periods between sets, repetition
speed, range of motion, exercise angle (inclined, flat,
declined, bent over, upright, etc), training duration per
workout, and training frequency per week. Sounds like a lot of
different training aspects to consider in order to obtain the
best results from your workouts, doesn’t it? Well, that’s where
a knowledgeable personal trainer can make sense of all of this
for you to make sure that your training doesn’t get stale. Below
are a few examples to get your mind working to come up with more
creative and result producing workouts.

Most people stick to workouts where they do something along the
lines of 3 sets of 10-12 reps per exercise, with 2-3 minutes
rest between sets. Booooorrrrring!!!! Here are a few examples of
different methods to spice up your routine. *Try 10 sets of 3,
with only 20 seconds rest between sets. *Try using a heavier
weight and complete 6 sets of 6 reps, doing a 3 minute treadmill
sprint between each weight lifting set. *Try using a near
maximum weight and do 10 sets of 1 rep, with 30 seconds rest
between sets.

*Try using a lighter than normal weight and do 1 set of 50 reps
for each exercise.

*Try a workout based on only one full body exercise, such as
barbell clean & presses or dumbbell squat & presses, and do
nothing but that exercise for an intense 20 minutes with very
short rest periods.

*Try a workout based on all bodyweight exercises such as
pushups, pull-ups, chin-ups, dips, bodyweight squats, lunges,
step-ups, etc.

*Try a circuit of 12 different exercises covering the entire
body without any rest between exercises.

*Try that same 12 exercise circuit on your subsequent workout,
but do the entire circuit in the reverse order.

*Try your usual exercises at a faster repetition speed on one
workout and then at a super-slow speed on your next workout.

*Try completing five 30 minute workouts one week, followed by
three 1-hr workouts the next week.

*Try doing drop sets of all of your exercises, where you drop
the weight between each set and keep doing repetitions without
any rest until complete muscular fatigue (usually about 5-6 sets
in a row).

There are many more ways to continue to change your training
variables. This was just a taste of your possibilities. Be
creative and get results!

Sports Handicappers are almost looked upon as bad as lawyers. They are a dime a dozen and a lot of them are out to take your money anyway they can get it. With that said, let me introduce myself, my name is Leo Mendelsohn and I am the CEO of Thehooks football picks.




Yes, www.thehooksfootballpicks.com, a football handicapping business that has been around for only one year. Why am I bashing handicappers?

I am not bashing, just stating what many people are over looking. The main reason I am writing this is that I have had over a dozen conversations with potential customers this off season and I am perplexed on how they compare sports handicappers and their sites.

I will not make this a big advertisement but here are some facts that I could blast out with a 3rd party to verify. Last year in Prime Time on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday Night we hit 66% (10-5). We finished in 11th place for top college picks at the Ultimate Handicapping Challenge. We were in 2nd place with one week to go and could have passed to secure 2nd place or just picked two games but instead we went for it all and played 10 games trying to over take first place. Oops, that was a mistake in some people eyes, but it was not a mistake in our eyes at Thehooks, we would do again because we play to win.

We finished in the top 20% out of over 150 sports handicappers being monitored at the National Sports Monitor. Noticed I said how many sports handicappers and where we were monitored. We hit on 54% of our picks last year which most sites would consider a winning season but our 8 week and 16 week customers will receive this year for free because we did not hit our guaranteed 60%.

People are out there bragging about being the top sports handicappers but when I look to see where the stats are coming from there is no proof except their word and I want more than that. If you are paying them you better make sure you get more than their word too. If not, I have some beach front property that I am selling here in Reno, Nevada that you could have at a good price.

I was sent brochures of different consensus reports claiming that the sports handicappers on the report are the TOP Services for, get this, four different categories. What the heck is this all about. They might be the top in that area but how many are being monitored and how many sports handicappers are there total?

I did a search in Yahoo and could not find some of them. Some of the claims state that so and so went 11-5 in his college plays but never stated how they did for all the picks or showed proof of ALL THE PICKS. What if they went 45-55 for all their picks? I think that you would have lost money, don’t you?

If you are going to claim anything you need to list everything! Make all your picks from the previous years accessible to your customers. Don’t hide them in the fine print.

IF not, I could make up 15 names or take in 15 handicappers and put out a list of the top 10 handicappers in 4 areas and make all of them look good. I could give you phone numbers to call and you would pay the obscene amount of $500 to $2,900.

AND, Thehooks went 10-5 on their PRIME TIME PLAYS so join us now for $2,400 and we will throw in the beach front property for free!

As the moderator I would sell each handicappers picks for a percentage or tell you I have no affiliation but charge you for the report. Guess what? I am damn sure to make all of them look good some way or another. I too can twist numbers, PRIME TIME ABOVE, and claim that they are the “BEST” and put in publication that they are the Top College Bowl handicapper, TOP NFL or TOP COLLEGE OR TOP NFL LOCK handicapping service. What the heck is this all about. Hey, I just acquired some more beach front property from my brother Quiddo in Vegas. For $1,100 you can have a share in the scam.

It is services like this that give sports handicappers a bad name. If you want more you should read the Scamdicappers at Maddox Sports. In order to claim that you are the best than you must compete against everyone. Sure you can say that you had the best NFL service among so many handicappers but not the #1 Sports Handicappers period.

This is just further proof that you need to read the fine print and look for the proof of their claims. Better yet, call them and talk to them. Have Thehooks Handicappers Checklist out and your own questions and fire away at them. I answered so many questions this past year and want all my customers to call if they have doubts or questions.

Hey, it is your money, make sure you invest it wisely. If not, I could find more beach property here in Reno for you and save you the headache of trying to figure why your scamdicapper is giving you losing picks but still claiming victory through print or internet.

Please note that all handicappers are not this way. There are many out there who are doing this thing the right way. Make sure you are dealing with a sports handicapping service that is up front and straight forward with you.

Power golf exercises are a unique set of exercises that you do not do in a gym on machines, nor do you lift heavy weights. For that matter, you can do simple power golf exercises right in your home with minimal equipment.

You see…to improve the power in your golf swing, you need to look at the mechanics that create the power.

It’s not your arms swinging the club as hard as you can! It’s not your legs driving your body through the swing! And it’s not swinging some funky 50 inch shaft with a 600cc titanium head either.

It’s quite simple!

The power in your golf swing is your CORE!

Your core is the engine to your swing. If your core is weak or inflexible, you will never be able to hit a powerful tee shot. This is harsh…but very true!

The modern power golf swing is one of being “connected” with your upper body. Not letting your letting your arms get separated from your body. Rotating your upper body as a whole, over a somewhat stable lower body will produce maximum power at impact.

So the perfect power golf exercises involve rotational movements with resistance in your core area. The are many exercises you can do that will dramatically improve your driving distance and power…and no gym required!

A simple power golf exercise for your core is my Seated Twist w/Dumbbell:
• Sit upright in your chair.
• Hold single dumbbell straight out from chest with arms fully extended.
• While keeping your head focused straight ahead, rotate your arms to the right, then to the left as far as you can go both ways.
• Do this non-stop for 20 total rotations.
• Pause for 15 seconds and repeat 2 more times.

At first you will feel very restricted in your midsection. That’s a sign of how limited your rotational flexibility really is. But do this exercise daily and you will see improvement quickly.

The next time you step out onto the course, you’ll blast your drives up to 20 yards further!

As you can see above…the key is ROTATIONAL exercises with resistance, whether it be a single dumbbell, exercise tubing or even a weighted golf club.

Doesn’t matter what you use, as long as it is up to 5 pounds in weight and you can handle it easily in both hands. If you’re already in good shape go for 10-15 pounds and increase your rate of speed. This will both improve your “fast-twitch” core muscles and also your range of motion for a bigger backswing and a complete follow through.

So you see…I wasn’t fibbing! It doesn’t take a gym or fancy equipment to do effective and proven power golf exercises!

Overview: More of the same from Drew. He finished the game 17-28 187 yards 2TDs and 1 INT. He continued to show his great escape ability as well as his arm strength and accuracy on any route that works the middle of the field. He continues to struggle with the long passes.

I wish he was in a more wide open offense where I could see him complete more difficult passes. The offense he plays in is mostly short underneath passes to the back and tight ends. He has looked good in this run oriented offense which shows me that he could be a decent backup if Bledsoe went down as long as you scale down the offense and run the ball a bunch which we would do anyway.

He has looked good enough to give me renewed hope in him, but he definitely needs to work on his game. The mental aspect seems to be there, but he still needs to work on his mechanics and holding onto the ball too long. He also has a long way to go as far as consistent accuracy on certain throws as well.

1. 2 & 7 Play-action Threw nice little pass to TE running a comeback. A little late on the throw, so a DB was able to knock it away.

2. 3 & 7 Dropped back, nobody open. Could have ran, but didn’t. Stayed in the pocket to long. Got hammered in the back by a DT and fumbled. Recovered by Amsterdam. Ball should have been gone 3 seconds earlier. You can’t hold the ball that long and expect to get away with it.

3. 2 & 6 Rhein is now down 14-0/ Play-action. Screen to running back. 10 yard gain to the left.

4. 2 & 6 Hits WR across the middle for a 12 yard gain.

5. 2 & 5 Under pressure, beats the blitz and hits TE perfectly underneath for another 1st down.

6. 2 & 9 Hits FB underneath. Excellent run after catch for a 10 yard gain.

7. 2 & 6 Floats perfect pass to the WR over the top in the endzone for a touchdown. Beautiful pass, although not a particularly difficult one.

8. 1 & 10 Underneath pass to FB for a 17 yard gain.

9. 2 & 7 Snap fumbled. Jumped on it for a 3 yard loss. Couldn’t tell whose fault it was.

10. 3 & 10 Shotgun. Holds the ball forever. Finally fires a strike to a WR crossing about 25 yards downfield. Dropped pass. Showed off his arm strength. The bad part about this pass though is that he had a lowered delivery. His arm dropped slightly, but mainly it was his legs that spread out and got lower as he threw. Much like a baseball shortstop would throw.

11. 3 & 2 Dropped back, under great pressure. Hits WR out in the flats. Bad spot, short of the 1st down.

12. 2 & 5 Dropped back. Let it fly down the field. Threw it out of bounds.

13. 3 & 5 Under pressure, rockets the ball across the middle perfectly into his WR as he was getting hammered. Perfect pass and showed great arm strength. 15 yard gain.

14. 2 & 3 Screen to the right. No gain.

15. 1 & 10 Blitz coming, throws off his back foot. Hits WR across the middle for 10 yards.

16. 2 & 11 Blitz, he avoids one guy, but can’t get past the other guy. 8 yard loss.

17. 3 & 19 Pressured, steps up into pocket, but a guys gets him from behind.

18. 2 & 18 Under pressure, hits TE sitting in the middle of the field. Drops pass.

19. 3 & 18 Avoids rush, throws way down field. Nice throw, but the DB knocks it away. I was happy to see him throw a deep pass on target because that has been his major weakness.

20. 1 & 10 Play-action, moves around, runs outside the pocket to his right and hits TE coming his way for 12 yard gain. Nice accuracy on the run.

21. 1 & 10 Play-action, hits TE running a square in, rifles it perfectly into his chest without breaking stride.

22. 1 & 10 Quick drop, slant broken up by CB

23. 3 & 5 Shotgun, guns it underneath into his big WR running a slant, WR breaks a few tackles and scores a TD.

24. 3 & 13 Shotgun, avoids rush. Throws the ball away.

25. 1 & 15 Play-action, avoids two rushers. Finds RB underneath. Nice run after the catch for a 1st down.

26. 1 & 10 WR runs a short out, Henson misses him badly outside.

27. 2 & 10 Plenty of time, floats it out to TE running a post. DB breaks up the pass that was a little behind the receiver.

28. 3 & 10 Rollout to right, no time to throw. Has to throw it away.

29. 1 & 10 Nobody open downfield, dumps off to RB in the right flats. 8 yard gain.

30. 2 & 2 Two minute warning. Another short pass to the FB. For a 1st down.

31. 1 & 10 Shotgun, Throws down the sideline to WR who was well covered. WR should have caught the pass. Nice throw.

32. 2 & 10 Drops back, throws downfield. Ball is too high, incomplete. Nobody really open anyway.

33. 3 & 10 Plenty of time. Lofts it to WR. Pass interference on the CB.

34. 1 & 10 Throws to WR across the middle. The pass was high and behind the WR. Ball tipped up in the air, intercepted. Ball hit the ground, but no instant replay.

As we watch the Astros choke or White Sox perform valiantly depending on your point of view, I am reminded of my baseball experience in Russia.

World Series

I always find it interesting that most of our professional sports call the championship round the World Series or some similar variation. Clearly, there are games being played elsewhere, so how can it be the world championship? With baseball, the arrivals of Ichiro Suzuki of the Seattle Mariners and Tadahito Iguchi of the White Sox certainly suggest baseball in Japan must be of a high quality. Perhaps more interesting is the fact that some sports aren’t even acknowledged in other countries as I found out in Russia.

Siberia does not have cable television nor can one pull up anything other than CNN. This made watching the World Series a bit difficult. Resorting to my usual tactic, I started hitting up my students for inside information on any parents that might own a satellite dish and could get the games. To my astonishment, not a single person knew the World Series was on or much of anything about baseball. Nobody had even heard of the Yankees! A few students had heard of the Los Angeles Dodgers, which was unbearable for a person from San Diego. It was time to set these innocents right!

The classrooms I taught in were pretty large. Everybody stand up! Desks were moved to the walls, books were placed in the appropriate places and the rules were written on the board. Forget constitutional law, we were going to play some baseball!

Institutions of higher learning are sacrosanct in Russia. It is serious business where deep thinking occurs, everyone studies like mad and the teacher is obeyed at all costs. For example, the students all stand up from their desks when a teacher enters and leaves the room. Serious stuff.

The game was proceeding nicely. Everyone was getting the hang of it, the rolled up paper ball was surviving and the broken desk leg would’ve put any bat to shame. And then the Dean walked by the door. And stopped. And stared.

The University Dean, Tatyana, was a great person and I liked here a lot. In turn, I am pretty sure she thought I was a raving lunatic, but didn’t seem to mind since the students enjoyed my classes. Alas, I thought I had crossed a line with the baseball game.

The Dean opened the door and entered the room. Simultaneously, students looked for places to hide and I tried to come up with some reason why playing baseball was critical to the education of future judges. Tatyana took the bat from the hand of a student, looked at and stared at me. It was one of those stares where you could tell she was considering sending me back to San Diego. There would be no chance of explaining this one away.

After what seemed like minutes, but was probably five seconds, she did the last thing I expected. She took her stance.

The game was on!
