From Powerlifting Watch:

Jon describes additional changes in Lifter Rankings:

I've added a new feature to the Powerlifting Watch Lifter Rankings (subs req). For any lift where video of it is available, a small television icon will appear next to the lift. If you click on that icon, you'll be able to view video of the lift. If you know of any additional videos that I've missed, please send me a link and I'll get them added.

Reminder- Fantasy Powerlifting: Be sure to set your team for the coming weekend by Thursday evening at 10 pm Eastern.

Dear Lifters,
It has been a while since our last your update. We have been busy working on the 2008 schedule and expansion into the western USA and Canada. We are finalizing plans for the Nationals in Reno, NV, and getting ready for the YMCA Nationals in Texas on April 26. We are also working with a gym in California that has experience running meets and Canada also. The 2008 powerlifting year is off and running and expects to be our best year ever.

Robert Keller updates the '08 Master's Nationals:

All:

Today, I had the hotel add more rooms to the event block. So far, we have sold nearly 400 room nights and counting.

Also, important, the hotel has officially changed their name to Hilton. So, those attendees wishing to use their Hilton Award Points, may now do so.

As a reminder, the room block for this championship now extends out from April 28 to May 10, 2008. So, if you wish to arrive early or extend your stay after the championship, you may now do so. If you have any questions or have difficulty making a reservation, please contact me directly at: rhk@verizon.net or 954.790.2249.

Again, if you have not already done so, please make your hotel reservations, before the hotel sells out of rooms, which is likely going to happen.
