A Pitcher's Throwing Program: Truth- Good, Bad, and Ugly
Before I begin this important topic examination I'd like to share a video of a program that has taken America by storm over the last half decade or so. Many teams from high school level through college up to the Major League are using this program.
Jaeger Sports Baseball Throwing Program — '360 t…: http://youtu.be/9w3xwYIx17s
An interesting Sports Illustrated article explains the reason why the popular program has taken off due to injury.
The initial impression is that this might be the greatest program ever developed. But upon examination at what exactly happens during this Long Toss program, the other products sold and demonstrated in the video for the exercises we might discover an entirely different outcome.
Let's go to Spring Training 1996, there was a huge paradigm shift in a short period of time as players were making significantly more money than ever before. A baseball player's arm (especially pitchers) took on new meaning as there was so much more at stake — and this put even more emphasis on the medical community's role of "keeping players healthy" and "preventing them from breaking down".
Back to today. Have injuries really been reduced over the years? Let's take a quick look. This is the list of names of MLB players to have Tommy John surgery, year-by-year.
The Long Toss Program, from what I have just shown has not reduced the amount of injuries at all. And, I will argue it has INCREASED the problem. Nor does it miraculously increase pitching velocity as advertised.
After watching the video and listening to the what is described as "stretching out the arm", exactly what does that mean? Do the creators even know?
What is being stretched during the long toss program? Perhaps the rotator cuff muscles. If this is the implication, doing so may be a unhealthy prescription for disaster. As a pitcher, shoulder mobility and scapular stability, not stretching and being loose are most important. Sometimes even a tight shoulder is better than a hypermobile dangling shoulder joint. (I will get into the possible correlation between the "increased" strength of the rotator cuff muscles and elbow problems later in this examination).
Perhaps the video trainers definition of arm being stretched out is the elbow being fully and forcefully flexed as the ball is released. On this idea, I'd like to expand just a bit.
The (UCL) Ulnar Collateral Ligament connects the Humerus to the Ulna on the inside part of the elbow. The motion of throwing is already a stressor to this area. Repeatedly, forcing the elbow into extension or "stretching" further stresses and overuses this ligament. It can rupture, then, at any given moment.
Rather than waste the motion on attempting to stretch the arm, using long toss programs that force pitchers to adjust their throwing mechanics, why not work at shorter distances and even more bullpen mechanical work to learn how to use more of the entire body while delivering a pitch and not just the arm?
To give credit to my position, I will use Dr. James Andrews and his studies on proper throwing mechanics at the American Sports Medicine Institute to support my claims above, as he is generally thought of as the orthopedic surgeon of record when dealing with sports injuries and certainly Tommy John surgery.
You can read his case studies here: http://www.asmi.org/asmiweb/research/baseball.htm.
"Throwing from flat ground produced a shorter stride and less shoulder external rotation at foot contact, more elbow varus torque during arm cocking, a more upright trunk at ball release" quote from Dr. Andrews' case study on "Interval Throwing Program"
Dr. Andrews' case study on "Shoulder Abduction and Lateral Trunk Tilt Influence the Peak Elbow Varus Torque During Pitching" states: "The combination of 10 degrees of lateral trunk tilt and 100 degrees of shoulder abduction produced the minimum peak varus torque among all conditions in the study. Thus, the results of this simulation study clearly show that shoulder abduction angle and lateral trunk tilt have an affect on elbow varus torque and thus can be helpful in reducing stressful forces on the shoulder and elbow during pitching."
You can read Dr. Andrews' case study on "Biomechanics of Elbow Injuries During Throwing" to learn about Elbow Varus Torque here: http://www.asmi.org/asmiweb/research/usedarticles/elbow_injuries.htm
So, how can we truly train to prevent arm throwing injury?
The very first step is proper instruction on how to throw from the first time baseball is played in youth league. After that (and this is going to be very controversial) eliminate the pitch count restrictions. Yes, that's correct! Pitch counts limit development. At the same time, this places responsibility on the coach, parents and the player to know when to stop pitching. As soon as a coach or parent notices a drop in velocity or the player is fatigues it is time to end for the day and call in a reliever. Until very recently, pitch counts were not utilized for many years in pro baseball. The main factor was how successful the pitcher was. If his velocity went down or he was laboring, the pitcher was simply taken out. Common sense ruled the day. In 1987, there were 106 performances where a pitcher threw at least 140 pitches in a Major League game. Eight years later in 1995, that total was only 36. The protocol by the late 1990s was 120 pitches as the limit to keep pitchers healthy. Yet, from the data provided this has not kept pitchers healthier.
Is it possible to train every pitcher using the same program of nothing but long toss and rubber bands? Absolutely not! Even the Jaeger sponsored athlete says "cookie cutters are for cookies" when referring to recommending a set number of exercises or reps or in my opinion even the EXERCISE itself.
The bands that are made reference to in the video and are a very popular product for sale are for a used for a variety of movements as well as concentration isolated exercises. However, it's extremely important to note that when doing isolation exercises, proper form is a must. The video description does not show proper form. Not every player needs every exercise. Only a qualified individual with a solid background in functional movement can determine if these are even necessary for a particular thrower or not. A pitching coach or salesman is not. And, this may in fact, get players injured.
The rotator cuff is a combination of 4 muscles that perform movement of the shoulder. This is a small group of muscles and each has its own purpose working alone or in conjunction with one another, as in performing a throw or similar activity. (will explain later).
However, development of this group is a double edge sword. It CAN prevent injury especially on the delivery and follow through phase of the pitch. It CAN also create injury by becoming overworked and creating other SHOULDER problems. Additionally, since strengthening the muscles in the upper back and shoulder are the target, other areas become neglected.
As mentioned previously, the stronger the shoulder becomes, the weaker the elbow may become. Why is this? The elbow is a joint that is connected with LIGAMENTS, flexor and extensor tendons. Not muscles groups. Thus, the elbow joint is developmentally compromised when placed with disproportionately isolated shoulder and upper back training.
Isn't it possible to see the correlation between an increased rotator cuff group being able to handle more stress thus throwing harder but the elbow joint not being able to tolerate the stress so it becomes injured? Medical studies are being performed on this theory. I personally think they will reveal the theory to be conclusive to a high degree.
The proper training program begins from the ground up. It starts with the feet and involves the entire body, not isolating the shoulder. Equal total body development is ideal for proper injury prevention.
Total body development isn't defined as going to a gym and performing leg pressing exercises or endless bench presses. It's defined by multiple joint total body movements, from the ground up, using pulling, pressing, explosive multi-plane movements in a controlled manner.This includes bending, twisting and turning while moving the weight. That is how you train!
In viewing the video at the beginning, you'd get the impression that if you did the long toss and isolated shoulder exercises you'd automatically increase velocity to your pitching. But what happens when an individual pitcher has already reached their maximum potential and they tried this program? Would it benefit? I dare say not. Otherwise, every professional pitcher would do this program and every pitcher would be able to throw well over 100mph and increase each year.
Using the example of a professional player at the top level, I'm chosing to use Rafael Nadal. He turned pro in 2001. He, like every other tennis player has increased the speed of their 1st serve. How? Absolutely NOT by standing on a football field and hitting the ball as far as they can. Absolutely NOT by lowering the net (representing throwing on flat ground) and hitting the serve across the court. And absolutely NOT by hundreds of hours of isolated stretches and strength exercises.
What tennis has correctly executed was incorporate proper mechanics with movement exercises. The result is stunning! Not just an increase yearly on individual player average serve speed but individual maximum. And new world records as well.
Knowing a players limitations, their weakness and building a foundation from that is a major key. From there an individual customized program is developed. A pitcher must understand why he performing this movement and how it relates to performance on the field. A balanced combination is imperative to a successful program that includes no throwing over the distance where the pitcher will break form. If that dis r ancestors is 150ft then so be it. If it's 200ft that's OK also. As long as good form is maintained. But as soon as the ball archs and a crow hop is necessary it is time to stop.
Balance also includes proper conditioning of the entire body, not just isolating the rotator cuff muscles. And finally, the pitcher is meant to throw. So let him. The body is a remarkable machine. It can recover from great demands if properly addressed.
This is the program we use with pitchers at Next Level Dynamic Sports Performance, a hybrid of Eastern and Western philosophy. Not 1 has become injured and the coaches rave about the pitcher's durability.
Can't complain about that! Until next time…
In-Season Baseball Training #2
With the local adult baseball leagues in the early stages of the year, I wanted to post this information to answer many questions and requests I've received.
To start off, this topic is schedule dependant. I prefer to have the most challenging lift after a game at the beginning of the week. I also suggest giving players a full day of rest before a game day, but do so without interfering with the overall training effect. Rather than 2 full-body workouts, I have my position players perform a full-body lift on Monday, then a lower body lift and upper body lift back-to-back for Wed-Thu or Thu-Fri (again depending on game schedule and needing 1 day rest before a game). It is also a good idea to monitor how many innings he's getting on the field. Some feel better when they lift more often, or those who simply aren't getting much playing time and really want to continue developing.
These players get enough movement training just from taking ground balls and sprinting during warm-ups and practices, so there usually isn't any need to add extra movement training to their programs. On another note, we also keep medicine ball volume down because position playets are already doing a lot of high volume rotation with their throwing and hitting. We do have them performing their foam rolling (self myofascial release) and mobility work daily, though.
Starting pitchers should be treated as once-a-week starters. This is if they don't play another field position. It's best to try to pin down one particular day of the week when he is a starting. If he starts on Friday, he'd want to lift Saturday and Monday or Tuesday. Moreover, if he strength trains on Monday, he'll have the option of getting in another good brief, light session on Wednesday. Like the position players, our pitchers take part in daily foam rolling and mobility work.
Relief pitchers, though, are a bit different. Their schedules are very unpredictable; they might throw Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday – or they might only throw on Saturday and then have six days off. What to do? I say that when there is chaos, give people structure – and that's exactly how I manage relievers. I've found that most guys appreciate having at least one part of their routine set-in-stone – and scheduling strength training sessions can be just that.
So, assume that every reliever lifts Monday and Thursday – even if he may have to pitch Thursday night and the stated rest day before a Tuesday night (just pare back volume in the session). As long as new exercises are not introduced, he shouldn't be sore and interfere with performance. There are relievers in pro baseball who lift all the time on days that they wind up throwing – and many actually report that they feel better on the mound when they've already lifted that day. Our players at Next Level Dynamic Sports Performance train on thesame-day to get in their movement training, anyway – and nobody has ever complained about sprinting during warm-ups.
Additionally, if a relief pitcher has a particularly long outing and knows he won't be back to throwing for a few days, treat him just like a starting pitcher and lift within 12 hours after the game; possibly an extra strength training session for him during that week.
Sample schedule for a position player with games on Thursday and Sunday
Sun: Game
Mon: Practice and strength training (whole body)
Tues: Practice
Wed: Rest
Thurs: Game
Fri: Practice and strength training (whole body)
Sat: Rest
Sample schedule for a pitcher with only one start per week
Mon: Pitch
Tues: Strength Training (lower body emphasis, core, and light upper body)
Wed: Movement Training
Thurs: Low Volume Medicine Ball Work, Strength training (upper emphasis, plus low volume lower)
Fri: Movement Training
Sat: Very light Strength Training (mostly upper and core work)
Sun: off completely
If this pitcher was playing the field on non-pitching days, simply drop the movement training and eliminate either the Thursday or Saturday strength training session.
This obviously doesn't include the "throwing program" component. As stated previously, I do not believe in long toss for pitchers. Pitchers would throw their bullpen session on Fri. Additionally, they'd be playing catch on some of the other days, too, of course. No need for extra throwing.
In-Season Baseball Training
Baseball in Guam getting underway at all age groups. Over the last week to 10 days, I've received literally dozens of emails, Facebook messages, Tweets, text messages and phone calls on the topic of in-season strength and conditioning for baseball players.
Before I get into specifics, I'm going to outline basic concepts. In the following days a seperate blog will be posted for each age group that should train.
1) Leave the equipment at the training facility or home, don't take it to the field.
This is referring to rubber tubing or bands in particular. You don't take a bench and squat rack to the game or practice do you? Then why take bands? Mostly these are used for rotator cuff exercises. At the field it's not necessary. In a nutshell, I tend to stick with 2x/week "conventional" rotator cuff exercises (mostly external rotations) and 2x/week rhythmic stabilization drills. In conjunction with the rest of our overall program – which includes compound upper body strength exercises (horizontal and vertical pulling exercises, in particular), rotational movements, deceleration catches, core stability drills, lower half strength exercises, soft tissue work, mobility work, etc – we cover all our needs for keeping an arm healthy. Why on earth would I add more rotator cuff exercises to my program when I'm already increasing throwing volume, intensity, and frequency because of the season? The rotator cuff is already getting abused – so there is no need to work it any more with daily tubing circuits unless they are just aimed at improving blood flow.
I believe that many pitchers (and position players alike) overuse their arms during a season simply because they add, more and more to their program without fully understanding the outrageous eccentric stress that's placed on the arm during throwing. And, for those who insist that doing lots of in-season rotator cuff exercises has kept them healthy, this may be the case because they weren't that prepared at the end of the off-season.
2) I don't have my players do much in-season medicine ball work. During the season, players are about as far to the "absolute speed" end of the continuum as they can be, as they're hitting, throwing, and sprinting. With the overwhelming amount of "accidental" power training taking place, I feel that it's best to stay at the other end of the spectrum. You can spend more time ttaining in the middle during the off-season.
That said, at Next Level Dynamic Sports Performance we do utilize a small amount of medicine ball work during the season. Usually, it's predominantly done in the opposite direction of a player's swing/throw; in other words, a right-handed hitter would perform left handed medicine ball throws. We might also do a small amount of overhead work just to maintain power within this range of motion (as well as the thoracic spine and shoulder flexion mobility that goes with it).
3) No distance running for any player. The most any player would EVER run during a game situation is 360ft (120yrds) and its ONLY with a home run. Work on various sprints of 180ft, give or take 90ft depending on the day. Anything more is not just unnecessary but useless and counterproductive. To be blunt: coaches who have their baseball players run long distances are either lazy or flat-out stupid (or both).
4) Less is more and quality over quantity for in-season training. Rarely should an in-season strength training program session last more than 35-40 minutrs. However, a player might be in the gym longer than that for prehab, regenetation and/or targeted mobility drills.
5) Start with low intensity then increase. We usually keep the volume and intensity lower in the first week of the program to minimize initial soreness. Then, once the familiarity with the exercises is in place, we can imcrease in weeks 2-4 (or 2-6, if you opt to extend a cycle a bit longer).
6) Exercise selection changes a bit in-season, but the basics still apply. We're still using a lot of compound, multi-joint strength exercises, but there are a few modifications. In-season, I tend to utilize more horizontal pulling (rows) than vertical pulling (pull-downs/chin-ups). We use a lot of vertical pulling throughout the year, but never really go above once a week during the season, as some guys can get a bit cranky in the elbow with the amount of weight it takes to make them challenging. NY the way, if you want some of the benefits without the elbow issues, you can perform the crossover reverse fly.
Especially with pitchers, I utilize more push-up variations than dumbbell/barbell bench pressing during the season. Push-ups allow the scapula to move more than confined when laying on a bench. If we wind up doing three days of horizontal pushing, two will be push-ups and one will be dumbbell pressing. If we do two days, it's one of each. If it's only one, it's a push-up. We have several different variations from which to choose, so athletes are actually far less likely to get bored with them than with dumbbell pressing, anyway.
7) Maintain mobility. Even though I'm a Strength and CONDITIONING Coach, the truth is that we could probably scrap the conditioning part with respect to baseball and replace it with "mobility." Guys don't get hurt in-season because they lose strength; they get hurt because they lose mobility. All the eccentric stress leads to significant losses in mobility, as does all the standing around leads athletes to miss out on basic functional movement patterns like squatting and lunging. At Next Level Dynamic Sports Performance we are more than just a "weights coach;" or a "trainer" there are other things to address!
In the next blog installment, we'll talk about in-season training for the high school baseball player.
Swing Analysis vs Hitting Instruction
Analysis, especially video, should be used as part of instruction to improve hitting. It's a tool, but only part of the equation.
A good hitting instruction program involves a pre-instruction analysis, evaluation of technique, movement modification and conditioning exercises that enhance the movement to produce more torque increasing speed and power.
After the new movement pattern is developed, post analysis should be obtained and the difference demonstrated to the hitter.
Regular follow up assures that the new techniques learned can be properly applied and practiced in a reflex response.
On Guam, proper instruction occurs… Included is a video analysis, athletic technical development and support, cutting edge training methods, and active postinstruction care.

Guam Baseball Coaches and Core Training
Many use "core training" in a very generic manner, especially here on Guam, without knowing what this complex muscle group really is. A lot of coaches, like myself, hate the term "core strength" because it has become such a cliche. At Next Level Dynamic Sports Performance, we often cringe at the word because of its association with gentle movements. The sports world becomes more enamored with these concepts and exercises that unfortunately have limited effect on the movement signature when compared to movement that involve serious loads and velocities.
Where is Your Core?
The core goes far beyond just the abdominal muscles that you see in the mirror. The core really includes all of the structures that make up the torso; the spine, upper thigh, pelvis, rib cage and all the soft tissue that attaches them, front and back. But it is the integration of the hips, torso, and shoulders that defines core strength. Athletes must be able maintain position through these integrated structures in order to move efficiently. So, lesson number one is that the core really encompasses everything except the extremities (head, arms, and lower legs).
What is Core Strength?
Now that we have a better understanding of where the core is, we can also start to understand what the core does. To combat the common misconceptions, we must convey that core strength is much different than just the ability to flex, extend, bend, and rotate the spine. The real goal of core strength is to maintain posture of the hips, spine, and rib cage as the foundation for efficient movement of the extremities. Rarely are the muscles of the core responsible for creating dynamic movement, but they are key for maintaining proper alignment which allows for the transfer of forces through the torso. So, lesson number two is that core strength is really the ability to maintain position of the hips, spine and ribcage in order to efficiently transfer forces.
What is Core Training?
By understanding the location and function of the core, we are able to address the real problem that most coaches have with "core" which is the misguided approach that most athletes take to training the abdominal muscles that they can see in the mirror. Real core training is about challenging the body's ability to maintain position of the core (pelvis, spine, and rib cage) while transferring forces in various directions. Given this definition, every movement that an athlete does is core training because forces that are created into the ground must be transferred through the body. As a result, (this is very important!) the goal of our core exercises is not to train specific muscles, but to educate our athletes on the principles of core strength that will carry over into their movement signature. So, lesson number three is that we choose core exercises based on their ability to help educate athlete on the principles of core strength.
Front Bridge – Alternating
The Front Bringe – Alternating is one of the core exercises that we use to help athletes understand core strength. This exercise is great because it stresses core integrity in several directions and it provides an opportunity to coach positioning at all three major components of the core (pelvis, spine, and shoulders).
Coaching Cues
Start with hands directly under the collar bone, and feet about shoulder width. Engage the quads, glutes, and abs in order to set a neutral spine position. Prevent rotation of the hips and collapse of the back and shoulder as you reach one arm out in front.
Given the widespread misunderstanding of core strength and the prevalence of ineffective ab exercises, it is understandable why many coaches have given up on the term "core". However, if you use your training session as an opportunity to educate your athletes, you can transform the meaning of the word into something that will affect their performance and the way they move for the rest of their lives.

No question the Pats are great at taking away great players on teams. I know Miller had a bad hand last year, but he was irrelevant in that awful beat down. Also, if I remember correctly, Miller didn't do anything the first half this year. He ended up with a good game, but the first half was rough.

By Rick Warren
— December 27, 2010
Jesus replied, "If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living water." John 4:10 (NLT)
"Paying attention to Jesus will focus us on the things that are truly important."
Did you know that Jesus shows up in your life all the time? The Bible says he's around you all the time; his spirit is there but you don't recognize him. He shows up in other people and what they say to you. He shows up in opportunities. He shows up in problems. He shows up in difficulties, but you don't know it because you are not paying attention.
Actually, this is really common. It happens in the Bible. People fail to recognize Jesus. For instance, Jesus once asked a Samaritan woman for a drink of water. Not knowing who Jesus is, she engages him in a religious debate. Jesus says, "If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living water." (John 4:10 NLT)
This happens to us. We don't recognize Jesus when he's around us. The Bible says he's always near, but we don't listen. We don't tune in to his presence.
Here's why we need to pay attention to Jesus. He will focus us on the things that are truly important and that will change the way we handle every relationship, task, and circumstance in our lives.
When you learn to live in light of eternity, your values change. You use your time and money more wisely. You place a higher premium on relationships and character instead of fame or wealth or achievements or even fun. Your priorities are reordered. Keeping up with trends, fashions, and popular values just doesn't matter as much anymore.
The apostle Paul said, "I once thought all these things were so very important, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done." (Philippians 3:7 NLT)
Can you think of a time in your life when you have been hurt by someone? How about when you hurt someone else? Or, a time when you hurt yourself? These moments happen to us all. Life's Healing Choices Study Kit takes you through the eight healing choices Jesus taught in the Beatitudes. The DVD and Study Guide include these eight-life changing sessions taught by Rick Warren.

Molson put bohemian beer in cans!
Molson makes one of the best tasting Buck a beers there is, which bohemian. Buck a beers are essential students because of there tight budgets. However bohemian is only offered in bottles, and of course glass bottles are not allowed in student residances for obvious reasons. This causes a great delema and forces students to buy the discusting lakeport beer because it is the only drinkable beer students can afford that is offered in cans these days. It is our plee to molson to offer they\'re famous beer in cans to set us free from this injustice, so please sign the petition so we may once again drink our favorite brew.

text: Salary sacrifice A tax-smart way to boost your retirement savings "Through salary sacrifice I get a hassle-free tax benefit while building my long-term wealth." Les Larkin, Westall Train Maintenance Depot, AustralianSuper member Making salary sacrifice contributions to your super could provide the financial security you need to enjoy life once you stop working. Saving for the lifestyle you want It's widely believed that the average person won't have enough money to live on in retirement. In fact, many older Australians – even those on high incomes – may have to work well into their sixties just to maintain their comfortable lifestyle and meet other financial obligations. 2 Salary sacrifice can help SALARY SACRIFICE Salary sacrifice is an arrangement between you and your employer in which you choose to give up (or 'sacrifice') part of your before-tax salary to add it directly into your super account. By doing this, you effectively reduce your taxable salary, which means you could pay less income tax as a result. And, as employer super contributions are taxed at a flat 15% (limits apply) then the sacrificed amount could be more favourably taxed than if taken as cash salary. Boosting your super savings The chart below shows how salary sacrifice contributions can boost your super savings over the long term. Just $25 extra a week from age 35 could add $58,500 to your final retirement income. An extra $50 a week could add $117,100. That's a small extra saving now to get the lifestyle you want in retirement. $550,000 $450,000 $350,000 $250,000 $150,000 $50,000 age 35 age 65 Opening balance of $50,000 Employer contributions only = $349,700 www.australiansuper.com Employer contributions + salary sacrifice of $25 per week = $408,200 Employer contributions + salary sacrifice of $50 per week = $466,800 Assumptions: Opening balance $50,000 at age 35, annual salary $60,000, 9% employer contributions, before-tax salary sacrifice contributions of $25 and $50 per week, 7.5% Balanced Option investment return, $1.50 weekly administration fee, 0.72% investment management fee, 0.04% member benefit protection fee, retirement age of 65. Final balances expressed in today's dollars, calculated over a 30-year investment period. Source: AustralianSuper Super Calculator. 3 Maximise your 'sacrifice' limits You can receive up to $50,000 of salary sacrifice and employer SG contributions to super each year without paying extra tax. If you exceed this, then any amounts over $50,000 will be taxed at 46.5%. However, if you are over 50 but under 75 years of age then you can receive as much as $100,000 at lower tax rates. This higher limit also applies once you turn 50 any time until 30 June 2012. After this date the standard limit will apply to all. Contributions to super can't be received once you turn 75. Voluntary contributions Voluntary contributions are different. These are your personal, extra contributions paid out of your after-tax salary. Voluntary contributions can be paid into your super account by your employer through a payroll deduction or by you via direct debit, BPAY, Postbillpay or cheque. ® Visit our website for details on making these payments. As these contributions have already been taxed at the marginal tax rate that applies to you, they are not taxed when deposited into your super account or if you withdraw your super benefit as cash when you retire. You can contribute up to $150,000 to super from your after-tax salary each year. If you are under age 65, you can bring forward up to two years of contributions, allowing you to add up to $450,000 in the one year. Any contributions above these limits will be taxed at 46.5%. If you are aged 75 or over, by law you are unable to make after-tax contributions to super. If you earn less than $60,342 a year (assessable income and reportable fringe benefits) and make voluntary after-tax contributions, the Government will also make a tax-free co-contribution into your super account. Visit www.australiansuper.com for more information on the Government's co-contribution. For more information call us on 1300 300 273 and ask for our Boost Your Super Savings brochure or visit www.australiansuper.com/formspublications and download a copy. 4 Making salary sacrifice and voluntary SALARY SACRIFICE contributions really work for you Depending on your income, you can use either – or both – salary sacrifice and voluntary contributions to help your super grow. As you can see below, different contributions can affect the net contribution to super of a member earning $60,000 without affecting disposable income. Salary Voluntary Salary sacrifice and contributions sacrifice voluntary (after-tax) (before-tax) contributions Salary $60,000 $60,000 $60,000 SG contribution $5,400 $5,400 $5,400 (9% of salary) Salary sacrifice 0 $1,898 $1,452 Assessable $60,000 $58,102 $58,548 income Income tax and $12,900 $12,302 $12,443 Medicare levy Voluntary contribution $1,300 0 0 ($25 per week) Voluntary contribution ($305 0 0 $305 once-off annual) Government $17 0 $90 co-contribution Disposable $45,800 $45,800 $45,800 income Net into super $5,907 $6,203 $6,218 In calculating 'net into super' amounts, 15% contributions tax is applied to SG and salary sacrifice contributions. Contributions tax does not apply to voluntary after-tax contributions or Government co-contributions. Tax is based on 2008–09 rates. Source: AustralianSuper Contributions Calculator. Please note: Under measures announced in the May 2008 Federal www.australiansuper.com Budget, from 1 July 2009 salary sacrifice contributions will be counted as part of a person's assessable income for the purposes of income tests for various tax and transfer programs. This may affect eligibility for the Government co-contribution and other assistance programs. To access fee-for-service financial advice, see page 7 of this brochure for details about qualified financial advisers available to AustralianSuper members. 5 Tax matters Salary sacrifice contributions are subject to a 15% contributions tax (limits apply). There are also other tax-related issues you should be aware of. Deductions You cannot claim deductions or tax offsets for salary sacrifice contributions. This is because your employer is considered to have made the contribution. You also cannot claim a deduction for the cost of any administration fees paid to your employer to enter into and maintain a salary sacrifice arrangement. Fringe benefits tax A salary sacrifice contribution is not subject to fringe benefits tax and should not be on your PAYG payment summary. Tax File Numbers (TFN) If you have not provided your TFN to us you could end up paying more tax than you have to. Before-tax contributions, including salary sacrifice and employer SG contributions, made where a TFN has not been provided will be subject to an extra 31.5%. Voluntary contributions can only be accepted if you have supplied your TFN. You do not have to provide your TFN but you may have to pay more tax if you don't. AustralianSuper is authorised to collect your TFN and will only use it for legal purposes. Please check your last Benefit Statement and contact us if your TFN has not been recorded. 6 How do I arrange salary sacrifice contributions? SALARY SACRIFICE If your employer is willing to make salary sacrifice contributions on your behalf, you might want to sign a written agreement with them. Without a documented agreement, the Australian Taxation Office will not recognise your salary sacrifice arrangement. You should ensure the agreement clearly states: • the amount of the salary sacrifice contribution • whether it is a one-off or an ongoing arrangement, and • the amount of SG contributions your employer must make for you will not be reduced because of the salary sacrifice arrangement. Need help? Everyone's circumstances are different, so it's important to discuss your personal financial goals with a qualified adviser. As an AustralianSuper member, you can access a financial adviser through Industry Fund Financial Planning (IFFP). IFFP advisers charge on a fee- for-service basis and do not accept sales or other commissions. For more information or to arrange a free initial discussion, call us on 1300 300 273.

US Custom bike icon Roland Sands has just released this video of his Victory Project 200 bike road testing in California.
'Reaching 200mph on a bike that started life as a custom cruiser has been a goal of mine for some time', Sands explains, 'adding the bodywork and performance parts lends itself to setting this bike apart as a true high speed performer.
'It will soon be getting a turbo motor which will make it a 200 plus HP beast for both landspeed and the drag strip.'
Roland is in the UK this weekend competing in the Harley XR1200 cup at Brands Hatch. Read all about it in next weeks MCN.

its not a harley try looking again

Whats the point?
Why? Most Harley owners arent interested in top speed and its not what the brand is about, a very high speed Harley is about as usefull as an ashtray on said bike.
07 August 2010 22:22
Another Roland Sands bike ?? Oh hum.......................zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
06 August 2010 23:50
buying a bike that already goes fast is missing the point. the challenge is to make some fast out of something that wouldnt normally be
at least it stands a chance of doing it, with the speed limiter removed we had a 2010 victory hammer up past 150mph in top on a rolling road but then it wasnt trying to shove itself through the air at the same time
best of luck to him i hope he does it
06 August 2010 16:53
I don't get the US approach to bike building.
If I were to take the same approach, I'd be starting to build the next contender for the Grand Prix series by buying an old Land Rover, or looking to beat Vale, Jorge and the rest with a G3 Matchless.
At least this one does appear to be able to change direction without the rider having to make an appointment.
Why do they not just use a good, powerful, modern set up to start with.
I'll leave it so someone else to discuss ton-plus riding in jeans!

Good question there.
Re: David Gordon's call on VMW. Tis a rare event for him to have a pick bomb as badly as VMW has. OUCH (and I just read that GOOG, a big success story of his, is down 10% after hours today). I'm following his advice on his blog on when and how to get out.

Editor's Note: This article was written and submitted by Dr. Dominick Palma, the superintendent of the Merrick School District.
On the morning of December 14, 2012, an overwhelming tragedy occurred in a small community in Connecticut.

Many innocent children and staff members at the Sandy Hook Elementary School were senselessly killed. As a parent, my heart breaks for those who lost their child or other loved ones. As a psychologist and educator, I am troubled by the lasting impact this will have on the survivors. I am sure, I am joined by the Merrick community in keeping those affected in our thoughts and prayers.
Parents may be concerned about how to talk to their children about this violent incident. The National Association of School Psychologists has written an advisory document called "Talking to Children About Violence: Tips for Parents and Teachers". It can be found on their website at
Each of our schools is staffed with experienced Psychologists and Social Workers who are prepared to respond to students' concerns. Parents are encouraged to call the Psychologist, Social Worker and/or school administrator at their child's school with questions or to provide information we may need to assist your child. Our teachers and staff members will be alert for signs of children who may be experiencing a reaction and parents will be notified if we have any concerns.
While it is difficult to know if any level of security could have prevented this tragedy, it is important that we, in Merrick, reflect upon our safety procedures. Consistent with New York State regulation, Merrick Schools maintain updated safety procedures for a wide range of crises. Among these are procedures to respond to an intruder at school. Daily, our schools are kept locked and we have a staff member monitoring the front entrance. During outdoor activities, staff members are vigilant for people on school grounds. Nassau County Police Department POP Officers regularly work with us to review our procedures and suggest enhancements.
Before children arrive back at our schools on December 17, Principals at Chatterton, Levy-Lakeside and Birch Schools will have conducted staff meetings to review safety procedures. The safety of our children remains our highest concern.
It is impossible for any of us to make sense of the unthinkable tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School. However, if we stand together as a community we will find strength. Please keep those affected in your thoughts and prayers.

About This Game
- Summary
- Specifications
- Features
- Game Editions
Everyone's favorite comic about the web-slinging superhero is now an action-packed, 3D videogame for the Nintendo 64. As Spidey (AKA Peter Parker), you'll trek through the streets of the Big Apple, taking to rooftops, sewer bottoms, and secret villainous hideouts in order to accomplish your many missions. You'll face such dastardly foes as Scorpio, Venom, and Rhino as you use Spidey's web-spinning ability to create traps of all shapes and sizes to capture your nemeses. The webs will also come in handy when you need to swing around the side of a building, scale a wall, or creep along a ceiling. The simple controls make the learning curve pretty easy, and SPIDER-MAN has a few different modes to keep the replay value and fun factor high. Records and Gallery modes offer lots of secrets to uncover and challenges to meet (bring your thinking cap to the table for this one), while Kid mode boils the action down to a more basic format for the wee ones. It's a tremendously fun game that's very faithful to its subject matter, but the key to succeeding is having real spider sense.
- Supported Functions
- Number Of Players: 1

"I have no relationship with the Russian government at all. I'm — I've never met the Russian president. I'm not supported by the Russian government," Snowden said. "I'm not taking money from the Russian government. I'm not a spy, which is the real question."
A few facts contradict this statement: Snowden's Moscow lawyer, Anatoly Kucherena, works for Russia's post-Soviet security services (FSB). Snowden, who also said that he was "trained as a spy," also lives in an undisclosed location under Russian protection.
Lastly, the former CIA technician gave the interview in the hotel where NBC's crew was staying, which is right across the river from Vladimir Putin's office and official residence. This may be nothing more than an ironic coincidence, but it is indicative of Snowden's overall situation.
Williams and Snowden spoke at the Hotel Baltschug Kempinski, on the opposite side of the River Moskva as the Kremlin. As shown by Google street view, the interview took place within walking distance to Putin's seat of power.
Basically, Snowden's claim that he has "no relationship with the Russian government at all" appears to be disingenuous. And he made it while sitting next to the Kremlin's heart.

Great thread!!! Got a couple of questions.
1. It says mash for 30-60 mins. (or until conversion) How can you tell if conversion has taken place?
2. When you lift the grains up, do you just let them drip, or do you squeeze them?
I'm going to use your method on my next mini-mash, I've done three now and I've achived less than perfect results, your method will help out a lot!
Thanks for sharing, and I'm an old hippy, that "almost cut my hair"
I think it releases bitter tanins from the grains. That's what I suspect anyways, but I'm not sure.
Thanks Death Brewer. I cant decide whether to try the wit first or your dunkel weizen...decisions, decisions
the dunkelweizen is always a winner
Nope, that's fine. A longer mash is never a bad thing...I've done 3-4 hour mashes many times (I will often mash in and then go out for dinner.) Stirring is good, too, unless it makes you lose temp. If you can maintain temp for over an hour, you'll get great conversion.
It's possible that squeezing the grains could extract tannins, although I've heard many people say they've done it without any ill effects. I just don't see how it is necessary, especially when you have your sparge water waiting there.

Being the president is hard and stressful
Are you stressed out about who to vote for or finding time to get to the polls?
That kind of stress is nothing compared to what the actual winner of the election faces.
According to doctors at the Cleveland Clinic, the presidency is a major "ager."
"Pity the poor son of a gun who won! He's going to age 8 years for every 4 years he's in office, on average. That's been studied from Teddy Roosevelt till now and you'll notice Obama got grey hair well that's normal," says Dr. Michael Roizen.
Presidents age twice as fast while in office due to stress. One of the major reason for accelerated aging in the White House is the lack of friends to talk to when things get tough.
Many presidents don't have that type of outlet.

AgustaWestland Debuts AW139M
AgustaWestland announced at Heli-Expo 2011 the debut of the AW139M, a customized, military version of its successful multi-role AW139. Featured earlier this year at the AFA Air Warfare Symposium in Orlando, it carries in it military technology required by the U.S. Air Force's common vertical lift support program (CVLSP).
Manufactured at the company's Philadelphia facility and tailored with U.S. military technology from suppliers across the country, the AW139M carries high-definition forward-looking infrared system, heavy-duty landing gear and self-protection equipment, including infrared detection and countermeasures. Making the AW139M particularly well suited to military use, it also features low thermal and acoustic signatures and is available with a full ice-protection system, allowing all-weather operations.
Dressed in military garb, the AW139M includes dedicated equipment such as armored seats, self-sealing fuel tanks and external hard points for carrying gun pods, missiles and air-to-ground rockets.
The AW139M has a cruise speed of 165 knots and, according to AgustaWestland, offers 30 percent greater cabin volume and carries 50 percent more payload than the legacy CVLSP platform but with a similar external footprint.

Yotam Ottolenghi Apologizes For Fishy Vegetarian Comment
Written by Vegetarian Star on April 26th, 2011 in Celebrity Tweets, Chefs, Food & Drink.
Yotam Ottolenghi told the New York Times, "Vegetarians in general don't like me."
Well, what's not to like about the 40-something chef who's recently released a cookbook dedicated entirely to vegetables and wrote a column for The Guardian titled, "The New Vegetarian" for four years?
Oh, yeah. He gave everybody permission to call themselves "vegetarian" when he said there were no boundaries anymore.
Since that comment generated a lot of bad publicity from the veg community, including the UK Vegetarian Society, he's backed down. But he still doesn't understand what he did wrong.
He recently sent out two Tweets apologizing and agreeing that vegetarians do not eat fish after all.
"@vegsoc you are right, vegetarians don't eat fish. I can't argue with that" was soon followed by "To all, fish eaters are NOT vegetarians!"
But he insists words are for the previous century and he'll win more people over by giving them the self-empowerment to call themselves anything they want.
"It feels so wrong, all these definitions," he said. "I don't see the point unless you want to create a club that excludes people."
"I think I can win more people to vegetables" he said. "I'm better for the cause."
Ottolenghi probably should have left it at the apology. We're guessing that last statement will generate the need to say "I'm sorry" once more.

We had an absolutely fantastic week in this lovely, homely and well equipped house. The view across the cove is absolutely spectacular. The children loved the shingle beach and exploring the rocks. is only a 10 minute drive and such a lovely little town, full of independent businesses and great places to eat. We fell in love with West Cork; with a trip to Mizen Head and Barley Cove proving to be a particular highlight.
This was a wonderful property in a fantastic location! We couldn't have been happier there. It was a family trip, including two grown sons and a daughter-in-law and we had plenty of space, comfort and ability to both go out and about and see the West Coast and also relax in the beautifully appointed house. We were footsteps away from a terrific restaurant BarTra, where we had several delicious dinners. We also had the convenience of a large (very) kitchen where we were able to cook and enjoy eating home. From this house we traveled to nearby LaHinch, the Burren, Cliffs of Moher, Cliffs at KillKee, further north to Ashford Castle and down through the Connemara Mountains, we went on a Hawk Walk in the Ailwee Caves site, saw Dolman's, the Aran Islands, seals, the beautiful rock beach just below the house, to name a few of the things we did. It was a trip of a lifetime - celebrating 30 years of marriage with the family! I would absolutely recommend this property and would go back myself. When we had an issue with the hot water, the property manager came over at 10 pm. We met lovely people, had six calfs right outside the door, and a local dog named Ben befriended us for our walks and relaxation time outside. Couldn't be better.
Goleen Cabin- Just Amazing and Magical Place
We spent the month of May at this cabin. It had three bedrooms, an open concept space for the livingroom, dining and kitchen. Everything you would need except groceries is in the cabin. You can purchase groceries in Schull, a short distance away and is a pleasure to visit. Milk, bread and small essentials are available in Goleen which is just down the road. The hosts Nora and Sean are very gracious hosts. They met us on arrival at the cabin. They showed us around their home. They had butter, bread, biscuits and wine for us. All of this is just the essentials of a vacation. It is the view that makes this place magical. The lot had direct access to view the ocean as you are on cliffs, it also has a pier that you can access. It has three tiers of patio. One wood with table and chairs then under that two stone covered with patio chairs and then a third walking area. My husband and I stayed the whole month but our children flew in for two weeks stay. The day we drove to the cottage with them, we immediately took them to see the ocean view and up popped a seal. They snapped a picture. Magical! The Fastnet Rock Lighthouse is visible from the living room window and its light can be seen at night. The conservatory, dining, living room and third bedroom have views of the ocean. The side yard is grass and there is plenty of parking. Barley Cove Beach is just a few miles away and Mizenhead is close by. We visited in May so we expected weather typical of Ireland but I believe this was a cool spring. We needed to have the heat on at least once a day most days. This is a magical place where ocean life can be observed, peace and quiet found and an experience never forgotten. Thank you, Sean and Nora. It was a blessing not forgotten.

"The sick part is only a symptom that the whole organism is going through difficulties. The sick part is only showing it because it is the weakest.
"You treat the sick part, you are successful…but then somewhere else the disease appears. You have prevented the disease from expressing itself through the sick part; you have made it stronger. But you do not understand that man is a whole: either he is sick or he is healthy, there is no station between the two. He should be taken as a whole organism.
"I will give you a few examples which can make it clear to you.
"Acupuncture was developed in China nearabout seven thousand years ago by accident. A hunter was trying to kill a deer, but as his arrow was moving towards the deer, a man not knowing what was happening came in between and the arrow hit the man's leg. The man had been suffering from migraine his whole life; the moment the arrow hit his leg, the migraine disappeared. This was very strange. Nobody had thought about it in that way.
"Out of that accident the whole of acupuncture developed, and developed to a full science. So if you go to an acupuncturist and you say, 'Something is wrong with my eyes, or something is wrong with my head, or something is wrong with my liver,' he may not bother about your liver, your head or your eyes. He will think of the whole organism; he will try to heal you – not just the part that is sick.
"Acupuncture has developed seven hundred points which were discovered in man's body. Man's body is a bioelectric phenomenon, alive. It has a certain electricity – hence we call it bioelectricity. This bioelectricity has seven hundred points in the body, and each point relates to some part of the body which may be far away from it. That's what happened in that accident: the arrow hit a bioelectric point which related to the head, and the migraine disappeared.
"Acupuncture is more holistic. The difference has to be understood. When you take man as a machine you take a partial view of him. If his hand is sick, you just treat the hand; you don't bother about his whole body of which the hand is only a part."
