MAN INSPIRES OTHERS TO DANCE
Here's a motivational video as you embark on another year of teaching. It's one of my favourite clips of the summer - a demonstration of the power of a single person to inspire others to get up and participate in physical activity (in this case, dancing at a concert). Initially, I think people were laughing this fellow…but then they realized how much fun he was having and decided to join in. I hope I can inspire as many people this year! //www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA8z7f7a2Pk

Track Broadcasting Needs Better Announcers
After watching the World Track and Field Championships, your editor believes that the sport will never be popular in the U.S. as long as the current team of announcers continue providing the television coverage.
