Extractions: Blessed with indefatigable energy and a keen eye for publicity, President Stephen Joel Trachtenberg set about his responsibilities with vigor. President Trachtenberg was as deeply committed to the academic and teaching side of the University as he was to its physical and financial development. He strengthened the requirements for both teaching and research credentials for faculty members and oversaw the development, and implementation, in 1987, of the All-University Curriculum, the University's most admired and emulated cross-disciplinary learning program and the undergraduate program that has probably had the most decisive effect on the current learning environment at the University. This program, as the University's undergraduate bulletin puts it, provides shared learning experiences for students in baccalaureate programs across the University through "a core of common studies." "Since faculty from all schools and colleges of the University teach these courses," the catalog description goes on, "the curriculum takes full advantage of the diverse resources of the institution. In addition to providing students breadth of knowledge in their liberal education, the All-University Curriculum makes clear the relationships among disciplinary areas of knowledge through integrative, cross-disciplinary courses. These courses also emphasize the development of written and oral communication, critical thinking and problem solving, values identification and independent decision making, social interaction, and responsibility for civic life."

Extractions: Pindar, Greek lyric poet, 5th century BC The ancient Greeks first had the idea of getting men together every four years to hold and witness sporting events (in those days women did not participate, though they had their own, independent, events). The idea was to have the best athletes from all over Greece gather in one field and compete every four years. All wars and fighting had to stop while the athletes and their supporters came together in the town of Olympia for a few days to compete in a few events, mostly related to warfare (throwing the javelin, running, wrestling, boxing and chariot racing). The first written reference to the Games is 776 BC. They lasted until 389 AD. The idea of having the modern Games was suggested in the mid 19th century but they weren't a world event until 1896. Besides being postponed because of wars, they have been held since then every four years in different cities around the world.

The History Of Snowboarding From Garages To The Olympics The history of Snowboarding From Garages to the Olympics. Playing throughthe Centuries The history of racquetball From Prisons to Country Clubs http://www.thehistoryof.net/history-of-snowboarding.html
Extractions: Home Index Media Submit Article ... History Of Snowboarding Most people think snowboarding is a very new concept, first invented in the last couple of decades. Surprisingly enough, the first snowboards can be traced back to the 1920s! Men and older boys would take plywood or boards from the sides of barrels tied together with clothesline as their base. They would then use horse reins or some more clothesline to try to keep their feet tied into place on the boards. These brave ones then slid down snow-covered hills standing up on boards that would make up the first stories of the history of snowboarding 80 years later. It wasnt until 1965 when there are pictures of Sherman Poppen with his Snurfer. Poppen was a chemical engineer in Muskegon, Michigan. He tied together two skis and put a rope at the front to make it easier to steer. He made this contraption for his daughter, Wendy. Poppens wife gave it the name Snurfer because it was a Snow Surfboard. When all of the Wendys friends wanted Snurfers, Sherman Poppen got a manufacturer to create them, and they were sold for $15 each. The Snurfer was incredibly successful over half a million were sold in one year. Poppen organized competitions where people could snurf. A man from Vermont named Jake Burton Carpenter got to see one of these Snurfers as a child. He was an avid skier, but he always wanted to surf, so he was excited to see this new contraption that would end up playing an important role in snowboarding history.

Recorded history of the Games dates back to 776 B.C., when the five days of sporting events were primarily religious ceremonies. For the first known 13 Games, the competition consisted of single foot race of 200 yards, which was the approximate length of the Olympic stadium. The Games expanded to include additional contests and reached their height by fifth century BC. Men competed, in the nude, in running, wrestling, pentathlon, horse riding and chariot races. Why in the nude well, to keep the ladies out of the action. Women were barred from watching or competing, and were even put to death if they were caught at the early Games. Today, not only are women allowed to watch and compete, they are encouraged to do so. Check out a few of our historical Olympic pages here at usolympicteam.com.
