Lombard Arrives in U.S.
By Martins Denis on Tuesday, April 22, 2008
When Hector Lombard (Pictures), a 2000 Olympian in judo, was scheduled to face Karo Parisyan (Pictures) last year, one question immediately came to mind

News Bytes of the Week–In Judo, Blue Is Not Best [News]
Blue duds win judo matches? Maybe notResearchers scored a takedown this week on a 2005 study that found an inexplicable advantage for judo players in blue outfits squaring off against contenders wearing white in the 2004 Olympics. The finding implied that maybe the blue was more intimidating or made blows harder to see coming. Skeptical, evolutionary biologists from Scotland and the Netherlands took a closer look at the Olympic matchups and noticed that because of the way the tournament was structured, higher-seeded grapplers wore blue more often than white (they alternated outfits, or judogi, between matches), and blue-clad contestants were more likely to have had extra rest between matches as well as more matches to that point than their white-garbed opponents. When the researchers controlled for these effects in the Olympic matches, the advantage of donning a blue judogi disappeared. (Proceedings of the Royal Society B) [More]
Heavenly In South Lake Tahoe
One of the favorite area that I really liked during our short trip at South Lake Tahoe late last year (2007) was our visit at Heavenly. If you are a skier, you probably heard of Heavenly Ski Resort, one of the most popular ski resort around Lake Tahoe. But during our visit to Heavenly area, I realized that the area of Heavenly is so much more than just for skiing. In the foothills and valleys below the Heavenly Ski Resort mountain slope, you will see shopping malls with all kinds of great specialty shops, restaurants, snack bars, banks, and more. We also noticed a circular ice skating rink in the middle of the mall center, and we also noticed a cable ride.
Most of the shops around Heavenly can be check out by walking on foot. Many of the shops are walking distance from each other so you see lots of great unique items that you can buy as souveneirs of your visit. During our visit there, we saw wide variety of choices as far as souvenier items. Great souvenier items like t-shirts, jackets, postcards, carved wooden animals, stickers, kitchen utensils, hats, and a lot more items with mostly Lake Tahoe messages in them.

A New-found-land of skiing
As we kicked and glided along the frozen, snow-covered fjord, we weren’t really watching where our skis were going. The surrounding 2,500-foot snowy mountains, set against a cloudless blue sky with their ice-speckled cliff faces plunging into the fjord, kept our attention focused upward.

Undiscovered Activities at Walt Disney World
Few days ago, in a nice October afternoon of 2007, I was channel hopping on TV, and found a travel documentary tv show about the many undiscovered activities in Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida. For a lot of people like myself, we see the Disney World as a theme park with rides, novelty shops, food bars, and shows, but the tv show travel documentary revealed that there are a lot more to Disney World that just a theme park.
I cannot remember exactly what channel the show was aired, but I realized that there are plenty of other activities in Disney World that were not known by majority of the people, i guess, not until the tv show documentary got aired this year (2007). Until then, I never realized that Disney World offers the following activities for the visitors:
Private surfing lessons and surfing in the laggoon
Para-sailing in the lake
Scuba diving in one of the biggest tank in the world and see most sea creature all in one day
Special trip to the Safari before the park opens and have close encounter with the animals in the Animal Kingdom
Nascar driving experience where you can drive fast race car at 140+ miles/hour legally
A luxury yatch for rent, to celebrate a special day
I honestly could not remember everything that were revealed in the tv show, but it sure was amazing to find out that there are a lot more that Disney World are offering to the public, and all of it sounds really fun! I had a blast during our visit to Disney World few years ago, but trying out some of the activities mentioned above would be great experience.
