Sports physiology is the study of the long-and short-term effects of training and conditions on athletes. This specialized field of study goes hand in hand with human anatomy. Anatomy is about structure, where physiology is about function.
Sports Training Principles
are heavily rooted in this field. Effects of body composition, flexibility training, hydration, environmental conditions, and carbohydrate loading on athletic performance are only a few of the topics explored in this field.
Exercise physiologists, physicians, and athletic trainers can apply research findings from studies to advise athletes on topics concerning nutrition, sport-related injuries, and other issues related to sports medicine.
Take the sport physiology quiz! It also includes basic anatomy questions.
The answers appear when you click submit.
Understanding the internal effects of exercise on athletes sets the stage for designing fitness training programs that prepare them for the physical demands of specific sports. Don't forget, though, that internal changes in athletes' bodies are one piece of the training puzzle.
It is important to know that in order to understand the effects of training, scientists must "zoom in" under lab conditions. Athletes and coaches must consider how well artificial conditions apply to training athletes in the real world. Be careful not to take theories (possible explanations) as the "gospel" when training athletes--always "zoom out" into the real world of competition.
The best coaches read a variety of professional and scholarly resources in the field from publications such as the American Journal of Sports Medicine, the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, and the Journal of Sport Sciences. After reading the research, practitioners then consider how applications from each study fit with those from other sport sciences, and temper research findings with personal experience and good judgment.
(See Research Basics)
Professional organizations, such as the American College of Sports Medicine, make "position stands" or "consensus statements" that coaches and athletes can use as guidelines. In this way, facts are summarized and integrated into agreed upon training methods.
If you are interested in learning the facts behind helping athletes reach their highest potential, I highly recommend Dr. Christine Brooks' online course

While a bulletpoint breakdown of the update can be found after the break, highlights include tweaks to how the matchmaking system handles pairing, a change so that custom game settings remain applied to followup matches, and efforts to improve stability both for the user interface and for parties trying to find a match.
Previous updates have also addressed matchmaking issues, but The Master Chief Collection has yet to reach a stable state for many players. 343 Industries head Bonnie Ross has vowed to "make this right with our fans" once the The Master Chief Collection's persisting issues have been resolved.

NetGalley Counts More Than 100,000 Members
Anybody who thinks literary criticism is dead should read this: the digital review copy community at NetGalley now has more than 100,000 members.
AppNewser has more about the company's growth:
Firebrand Technologies, the company that owns the digital galley site NetGalley, announced today that NetGalley now has more than 100,000 members reading its digital books. The company redesigned the site last fall, giving it a new look, making it easier to read on Kindle devices and adding more user tools. In addition to the growth, Firebrand has also announced four new hires…

What a dilemma! The fact that she doesn't believe you is not unusual in my experience, and therein lies the problem. However, I totally understand your difficulty in keeping the secret. After all, what are close friends for? So you ask, "Did I do the right thing?" All things considered, I think you did the right thing. If my spouse or partner were cheating on me, I would want and expect my close friend to tell me, and I bet most people would feel the same way. The problem, as you have found, is the news is not always welcomed or received very well.
Of course, the horse is already out of the barn in your case, but for others who find themselves in this situation, here is another possible course of action: You could also go to the cheating spouse (possibly along with your spouse), tell him or her that you know, and give the spouse the opportunity to confess their adultery. Under this kind of pressure, you just may be able to make the cheater spill the beans, take the heat and deal with that devastating moment of truth.

The New York Times reported that President Bush and other Republican lawmakers were moving to return or donate to charity campaign contributions by lobbyist Jack Abramoff in the wake of his plea agreement. However, the Times omitted any reference to the more than $100,000 Abramoff reportedly raised in his capacity as a Bush-Cheney campaign "Pioneer," which the Republican National Committee, apparently speaking for the Bush campaign, said the campaign has no plans to donate or return.
Both the AP and Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume reported on a White House event in which U.S. attorneys appeared and spoke in favor of President Bush's efforts to renew controversial provisions of the USA Patriot Act. However, both media outlets omitted the fact that all of the U.S. attorneys participating are Bush appointees.
In reporting on Supreme Court nominee Samuel A. Alito Jr.'s refusal to recuse himself in two cases involving companies in which he owned stock, The New York Times reported without challenge Alito's assertion that his pledge to recuse himself had been limited to a certain period of time after his confirmation. In fact, when Alito pledged under oath that he would recuse himself from cases involving certain companies, he did not qualify the pledge in any way or even suggest that it was time-limited.
Casting the Jack Abramoff scandal as bipartisan, the media have conflated two categories of conduct: 1) the legal receipt of campaign contributions; and 2) other possible illegal conduct including the receipt of campaign contributions in exchange for something.
Ed Henry falsely claimed that Sen. Byron Dorgan accepted and "had to give back" campaign contributions from Jack Abramoff and his wife; in fact, there is no record Dorgan ever received contributions from either of them.
MSNBC host Chris Matthews minimized the Jack Abramoff scandal, saying: "It's not going to be part of a larger story of Washington this year, I think."
Loading the player leg...
CNN reported the release of a 1985 memorandum in which Supreme Court nominee Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. advocated overturning Roe v. Wade; however, the document was the same as a June 3, 1985, memo released by the archives more than three weeks ago. While CNN covered this memo extensively during the first three hours after the story broke, it waited more than four and a half hours to cover a newly released 1984 document in which Alito defended the government's power to order warrantless domestic wiretaps.
In a December 15 Washington Post article, Jonathan Weisman wrote that Bush's recent statement that he believes Tom DeLay is innocent was an "apparent inconsistency," with how the White House has "deflected questions" about the CIA leak investigation "by saying they could not comment on ongoing investigations." Similarly, Fox News' Major Garrett purported to identify the "difference" in how the White House handled questions about the DeLay and Plame investigations. In fact, in both cases the administration made a premature statement presuming that a White House ally was innocent before an investigation was launched.
Bill O'Reilly falsely stated that decisions made by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit are being overturned by the Supreme Court at a "record rate." In fact, over the past four terms, the 9th Circuit's reversal rate was near the average for all circuits, and during the 2004-05 term, three other circuit courts were reversed by the Supreme Court at a higher rate than the 9th Circuit.
On The Radio Factor, host Bill O'Reilly argued that, historically, witnesses would swear on the Bible to "tell the truth" before testifying in court, because the "Bible was considered a symbol that ... you didn't mess with." O'Reilly claimed, "Now people perjure themselves all day," without giving any evidence to support his contention that perjury is on the rise.
Fox News correspondent Brian Wilson asserted that the "real question" regarding district attorney Ronnie Earle's decision to appeal the dismissal of a conspiracy charge against former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) was whether Earle "wants to win on that point of law or if this is designed to kind of drag out the case against Tom DeLay." But rather than being the "real" question, it is the question raised by one side -- DeLay's supporters.
Notwithstanding Newsweek guidelines on the use of anonymous sources, a December 19 piece in the magazine featured four different quotes and statements attributed to anonymous White House aides or friends of the president praising or defending him.
On CBS Evening News, Gloria Borger falsely claimed that "half the charges" against Rep. Tom DeLay "were thrown out" by a Texas judge. In fact, the judge dismissed only one of the three offenses with which DeLay has been charged.

Long weekends make me happy.
We really should implement a 2-day work week, 5 day weekend policy.
This weekend was full of happy movement. Atlanta is home to the world's largest 10K, the Peachtree Roadrace. It's held every year on the 4th. This is my 5th race; I've only missed one since 2008! I haven't been running much, but my goal was to finish in under an hour. I rolled out of bed early Friday morning and took the train to the start line.
I debated going to the convention in town… but nah.

I used to be fast.
I also used to run a lot.
It's funny how must faster you get when you get when you run a race. I've been running a little bit. Slowly. On a whim I decided to run a 5K Saturday morning. It turns out I hadn't been pushing myself as hard as I thought I had been on my jogs.
I lined up for the 5K not expecting much out of myself. It was already pretty hot and incredibly humid at 8am when the race started, but once I took off I felt like running a little faster. Half way through I realized I was pacing pretty well… so I went for it. 25:52 went it, to be exact. I finished 3rd in my age group (which is now 30+ – when did that happen?!) and 14th out of the women! Kind of a nice surprise… and now I feel like running more 5Ks.

I made it almost 31 years never having been to New York.
The city. I've been to Syracuse and Schenectady. Doesn't count.
Last week I finally got there! I had a work conference at Columbia University. It didn't leave a ton of time to explore, but I was thrilled. Especially when the hotel looked eerily like a scene from one of my favorite movies, The Shining.

It may seem strange to travel to another country and stay with someone you don't know.
I didn't hesitate.
Lucie was so kind to open up her home to me for the first leg of my travels. It was funny – I didn't really occur to me that I didn't know her in real life until someone commented that it was brave on both our parts to plan to spend this time together. Thankfully it went off without a problem! (I think… Lucie will have to tell her side of the story. ;))

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.
Anyone remember that song?
This weekend my family celebrated endings and beginnings. My baby sister, Madison, graduated from college! She's the youngest, and the last to finish school. Mom is celebrate not having that tuition bill – hahaha!
My cousin came along, and my other sister flew in from Portland to surprise Madi. We loaded up the family and drove to Auburn, AL to celebrate the end of Madi's college career. Naturally, this started with a toast.
Or 20.
We dined in style at Auburn's nicest restaurant, Acre. I have been wanting to try it ever since sampling a collard wrapped sweet potato tamale the chef made at Atlanta's Food & Wine Festival 2 years ago! Seriously – here's the post.
We ordered all the foods. This is just a fraction of it! The butter bean gnocchi was the coolest thing… but the dessert won the night. We ordered the dessert board (bottom right below) with a sampling of everything… followed by seconds of the sweet potato bread pudding and the goat's cheese-filled doughnut holes. I get my love of food and wine honestly!
Let's not talk about how we *almost* missed the graduation ceremony the next morning…
Once we safely made it to the ceremony, we toured the arena
patiently waiting for Madi get her diploma. Turns out the Tigers like to hate on my Yellow Jackets!
Back in Atlanta Saturday afternoon, I squeezed in a beautiful 5K run by the Chattahoochee River before heading to my mom's for a grill out. Those delicious eats must have done some good because it was my fastest in recent memory. It could have also been the fear of what mom was going to say when she found out I went running instead of coming straight home for dinner as instructed..
The warm sunshine and home cooked food were the perfect way to celebrate a new chapter for everyone. Change is in the air! It's an exciting time… the unknown can be a bit nerve-wracking, but life goes on and the future will be marvelous!
I'm spending the day wrapping up things here so I can board the place to go visit Lucie in Switzerland tomorrow!!!
Do endings/new beginnings ever rattle you a little?
What did you do to celebrate your graduation? I ate really good food. Obv.

I can't end a run on uneven mileage.
The following post is sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of Reebok. All opinions are my own… 'cause you know I can't keep them to myself.
Lately I've been itching to run more, but I'm 100% out of practice. Busting out more than a couple of miles is no longer easy to motivate for, let alone to complete! 2 things happened last week that helped change this.
Call it OCD, but it drives me insane to end at 4.78 miles, for instance. I will run up and down my street to hit 5 miles. If you are a runner who tends to go a little further then you meant to, you know how painful that can be. You're tired, bored, thirsty… your knee hurts, your shoe is rubbing your heel… whatever it is, you're ready to be done.
These things combined are what lead me here – sitting on my patio enjoying the cool morning air after an even 5 mile run.

My shoe collection is out of control.
The following post is sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of Reebok.
I'm not complaining! As someone who works out nearly daily, I actually use the 10 pairs of athletic shoes in my closet. Dress shoes, notsomuch.
This is why I was so excited when I had the opportunity to try out Reebok's new ZQuick. I realized I'd been wearing Reebok apparel for a long time, but had never tried their shoes!

A runner, I am not.
Unless it involves chocolate
or wine.
I'm sort of kidding. I used to consider myself a runner (hence the name of this blog), but my ACL had other plans.
Regardless, I was struck when Kat sent me her guest post for today. A lot of what she touches on is applicable to any area – whether it be other physical activities, work, or just life.
Who couldn't use more stretching and rest? As much as we all hate to admit it, we aren't invincible. Here's Kat…

Cardio hasn't been fun recently.
The following post is sponsored by Fitfluential LLC on behalf of Mizuno. All opinions are my own.
I like cardio when it's MY idea. Having it as a mandatory daily activity during competition prep makes it a chore. That's a thing of the past (for now), and I have gotten the itch to run more. The added motivation of new shoes doesn't hurt. Does anyone else get oddly motivated by new workout gear?!
I've never had the chance to try out a Mizuno running shoe. When I got the opportunity to try the new Wave Rider 17, I jumped at it! It's a neutral running shoe with a good amount of support.
After all of the Thanksgiving festivities and football disappointments, I was itching for a run. Sunday I headed out to tackle Atlanta's hilly streets in my new Wave Riders….

Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell continued to dodge questions Sunday over the possibility of becoming Mitt Romney's running mate.
McDonnell appeared on CBS' Face the Nation Sunday morning. He's thought to be on Romney's short list for vice presidential candidates.
When host Bob Schieffer asked McDonnell if he was being vetted for the job, McDonnell responded it's not for him to say.
"You know, I'm not talking about it," McDonnell said. "That's up to Mitt Romney. He's going to make that announcement soon. But I'll tell you what. Vice presidents don't win elections. Presidents and their candidates and their vision do."
McDonnell said in the interview he promotes Romney's vision for the middle class regarding jobs, deficit reduction, small business promotion and energy as the way to go.

[GUEST POST] Amanda Bridgeman's Space Opera Dream Team (+ Worldwide Giveaway!)
Born in the seaside/country town of Geraldton, Western Australia, and raised her on a diet of Rocky, Rambo, Muhammad Ali and AC/DC, Amanda Bridgeman grew up somewhat of a tomboy, preferring to watch action/sci-fi films over the standard rom-com, and liking her music rock hard. That said, she can swoon with the best of them and is really not a fan of bugs. In Perth (WA), she pursued her dreams to study film & television/creative writing at Murdoch University (BA Communication Studies). She is a writer and a film buff. She loves most genres, but is particularly fond of the Spec-Fic realm. She likes action, epic adventures, and strong characters that draw you in, making you want to follow them on their wild, rollercoaster rides. Her debut novel Aurora:Darwin was published with Momentum in May 2013, and the sequel Aurora: Pegasus was released in December 2013.

Sports fans do it all the time and Marvel and DC Comics are getting in on the action too – creating their dream teams, their fantasy leagues (think The Avengers, Justice League, etc). I'm a huge fan of The Avengers, because let's face it, it's a pretty awesome line-up: Thor, Iron Man, the Hulk, Captain America, Hawkeye, and Black Widow – all on the one screen. This trend isn't limited to comic superheroes, however, with the recent release of The Expendables series – a gathering of top action stars, past and present. And now there are moves to create the Expendabelles, an all-female line up.
Thinking about this trend, I started wondering what an all-female line up could look like, and more importantly, what I would want one to look like. So, I sat down, and like Marvel and DC Comics, created my own fantasy league. This wasn't an exercise in feminism, but a celebration of the female genre superstars that have inspired me and my writing.

Is it 1%?

Purchased at iHerb
Retinol 1% is normally way stronger than that. I have my Skinceuticals 1% and its refining properties are miraculous. So, Life Flo. This is a yellow cream with quite strong but quite pleasant scent, though I can see some people not liking it. Cream is on the oilier side and does a good job moisturizing the skin. The jar is quite big so it will last for quite a while. Its refining properties are definitely not enough for me and I didn't notice any "revitalization" difference so next time will try something else. Please click "yes" if this information was helpful. See other product reviews on my personal page.

Retinol and Hyaluronic Acid are the only two ingredients actually backed up by science, known to do something for the skin, in an ocean of useless cosmetic products. This is not for sensitive skin types,however, and must be used according to instructions. Also, if there are patches of damaged skin this will peel off the protective layer.
So far so good!

Only been using it for 4-5 days, and no adverse reactions so far. But please, do change the packageing! In a tube, the retinol stays fresh and active- but in a jar like this, well I'll just have to use it up fast! The scent is pleasant by the way. Update: I´m getting a bit fed up with the runny consitency of this ´cream´- it is very runny and would work sooo much better in a tube. Also the orange essential oil is not an ideal ingredient in a facial cream - this I have picked up from Beautypedia. I´m switching to Derma A´s retinol options instead.
Hate it!

I just got this cream, have been using it for a week, and really don't like it. Not quite sure what it's supposed to be doing because at first it seemed to do absolutely nothing, actually, made me break out immediately after first use. Since it didn't seem to irritate my skin I continued to use it (which is probably more often than they said to apply it). After something like 4 days my skin started peeling all of a sudden, broke out all over, and it's burning and peeling like I'm sunburnt. I would have used as directed, but it literally felt like it did nothing, and then boom. Bottom like - it doesn't tighten, does not improve the appearance of skin (again, made me break out), literally no improvement from this cream). I would not buy it again. Update after a few months... I started using this much less frequently - about once a week, then every 3-4 days. it works good for major wrinkles like forehead frown marks. If used too often will make skin peel and break out. Caution - retinol does increase cell turnover so it will bring all pimples and such to the surface. You do have to get used to this one, and it is NOT for daily use. Changing the rating to 3 stars, it's still not that amazing, but at least not horrible as I originally thought.
Strong fragrance

I was looking forward to getting this as the reviews were good, but the fragrance was too strong for me, I just couldn't use it.

The Knicks better make an offer to Lin when the season ends because he is single-handely reviving the Knicks'playoff hopes and saving Mike D'Antoni's career simultaneously.

Washington Wizards 93 vs New York Knicks 107 [box score]
Stat of The Game
w/ Kyle Weidie
With four minutes left in the fourth quarter, Tyson Chandler was 11-14 from the line and the Wizards were 10-12. Washington finished the game 15-19 and Chandler didn't attempt any more, but didn't need to. The Knicks went 26-33 from the line.
"We fouled. I wish I could argue a lot of the calls… a lot of the calls were fouls," said Randy Wittman. JaVale McGee (5) set an early tone, picking up fouls with bad defensive positioning against Chandler. Kevin Seraphin (3) did his part, going over the back against Steve Novak several feet from the basket when the Knicks were in the bonus. Jan Vesely racked up five fouls in less than 15 minutes with spastic limbs. Nick Young (5) seemed to be really bothered by the height of the Knicks' wings, especially Bill Walker and Landry Fields. Yet another way the Wizards can lose, fouling a bunch.

Ok… this is getting lame, and I honestly don't know why that last one is there, but it is. How about we watch Lin's dunk again?… Not necessarily because of what he did and the surrounding hype, but because of what the Wizards did, or didn't do.
John Wall did some crazy, cool things too…
D.C. Flag 3-Star Ratings
w/ Markus Allen, Adam McGinnis
<***> Rating the Starting 5, Bench & Coach out of 3 stars.
John Wall
|MARKUS ALLEN: Jeremy Lin came into the game blanketed by the hype of his recent success (and the magnificent 2010 Summer League game against John Wall). Wall clearly understood this, and while the Wizards still lost the game, he refused to lose his individual matchup against Lin. He went 12-21 on FGs 29 points and 6 assists, shooting a couple nice jump shots and attacking the basket. Wall certainly made some mistakes on defense, but he hustled and did his part on offense. When he gives the Wizards that many points on 59-percent shooting, the rest of the team needs to step up and fill their specific roles.
2.25 Stars (out of 3)
|MCGINNIS: Those who point to Lin's big night as an indictment of John's man-to-man defensive ability need to realize that defense is a team game. Wall held his own, but had little help from his teammates in funneling Lin away from the paint, or at least changing his path, off screening action. Right now, No. 2's scoring ability is as good as it has been all season.
2.5 Stars
|WEIDIE: Wall's nice night clearly got overshadowed by Lin, but his team lost. Mo Evans said after the game that he and Wall spoke about taking a page out of New York's book and use Wall in the same manner as Lin was used. When I asked Wall about this, he said, "Just run whatever the coaches call. Coach has got his game plan and his plays for us, and we just gotta do a great job of executing. If we change something up, we do that. If not, we just go with the flow of what he's calling." Um… OK then.
2.5 Stars
TOTAL: 7.25 out of 9 stars
Nick Young
|MARKUS ALLEN: No clue where Nick Young's head was in this game, he must have been burnt out from the 29 points he dropped against the Raptors on Monday, because this was just pathetic. Unlike Wall's matchup with Jeremy Lin, which featured two point guards playing great basketball, Young's matchup with Bill Walker featured two shooting guards who couldn't shoot. Walker and Young combined to go 5-21 for 12 points, 1-13 from beyond the arc. Nick Young went 3-11 (0-5 from 3-point range) for 7 points. So maybe in the end Nick felt like Wall. A loser after 48 minutes, but a winner in the match-up against Walker (5 points).
0.5 Stars (out of 3)
|MCGINNIS: The variety of voices on this site are routinely labeled as being too hard on Nick Young, and there are times that this assessment might be accurate. Monday was not one of those nights, as Nick came with the bunk swag, bad fouls, terrible shots, and poor defensive rotations.
0.5 Stars
|WEIDIE: Nick Young hit the first shot of the game 19 seconds in and Adam McGinnis turned to me and said, "That was a very Nick Young shot." Uh oh. Silly turnovers dribbling into double teams, jacking shots and missing the open man on the swing pass, bobbling an oop from Wall… Young was pretty ineffectual against New York.
0.25 Stars
TOTAL: 1.25 out of 9 stars
Chris Singleton
|KYLE WEIDIE: Singleton is really only a spot-up 3-point shooter at this point and doesn't provide much off the dribble. But that's OK, because this was close to the type game we should expect from Singleton, at a minimum, when starting. He played 23 minutes and finished with 6 points, 8 rebounds (2 offensive, one of those a put-back dunk off a Trevor Booker miss, which was a nice post move against Tyson Chandler), 2 steals, 1 assist, 1 turnover, 3 fouls, and a team-leading plus-6 in the plus/minus category. He didn't get any burn in the fourth quarter when Wittman opted for Jordan Crawford instead, since the Wizards were trailing. Singleton made some mistakes on defense but should continue to start. He and Booker side-by-side, along with McGee patrolling the paint should make a nice defensive trio. Yet here we are.
1.25 Stars (out of 3)
|ALLEN: Once again Singleton was on the court, but not really noticeable. He had 8 rebounds and 6 points, but didn't really do anything else in his 23 minutes of play. It's not a big deal because at least he doesn't make bonehead plays when he's on the floor.
0.5 Star
|MCGINNIS: Chris was active down low and in the passing lanes. He still needs a go-to move off the bounce, and he needs to refrain from dribbling for a shot when catching the ball at the three point line.
1.5 Stars
TOTAL: 3.25 out of 9 stars
Trevor Booker
|ADAM MCGINNIS: The knock on Booker's offensive game out of Clemson was that he can only go to his dominant left hand, that he struggles finishing around rim versus taller players and that his jumper is streaky. Trevor appeared to be conquering all of these valid critiques, on Wednesday with an array of successful post moves on the 7-foot Tyson Chandler, especially one where he drove hard under the hoop, faked and finished nicely with his right hand. Also, Booker drilled several face up mid-range Js, finishing the game with 17 points (8-11 FGs) and 7 rebounds. Even though his pick-and-roll defense was a mixed bag, Cook Book is developing into the Washington's second-most reliable performer.
2 Stars (out of 3)
|ALLEN: Booker continues to be the best story of this Wizards team. He followed his 70-percent shooting, 19 point performance against the Raptors, with a 72-percent 17 point performance against the Knicks. It would have benefited the Wizards to get him more opportunity (he took 11 shots) when he is scoring so efficiently.
2 Stars
|WEIDIE: Book came on strong with 10 first half points, but ultimately succumbed to the mass defensive confusion of the Wizards and made some mistakes himself. He did make some really nice post drives against Tyson Chandler, and it appears that his footwork is improving pretty rapidly.
2.25 Stars
TOTAL: 6.25 out of 9 stars
JaVale McGee
|MARKUS ALLEN: The game was more about what Tyson Chandler did than what JaVale did; Tyson Chandler had 25 points, clearly out-matching JaVale, who ended the game with 5 fouls in only 20 minutes of play. McGee had 8 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks. Not bad, but the Wizards really needed him to slow Tyson Chandler down and stay out of foul trouble, two things that he did not do.
0.25 Star (out of 3)
|MCGINNIS: The Good: Seven first quarter rebounds; a single, normal successful hook shot sans the sweeping part; and few nice blocks. The Bad: Everything else.
0.5 Star
|WEIDIE: McGee does one thing right and three things wrong. We might be looking at his worst days, but perhaps that's good in that it can only get better: Randy Wittman on McGee after the game: "The dog days of the NBA happen every year, whatever is it — fatigue, sickness, just not playing well — gotta fight through. I gotta help him, I'll continue to do that. He's gotta stay uplifted and help himself also."
0.25 Star
TOTAL: 1 out of 9 stars
The Bench
|ADAM MCGINNIS: The lackluster play of this unit blew a huge opportunity for the Wizards to defeat the undermanned Knicks club, who were without their two high-profile All-Star players — Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire. New York's Iman Shumpert and Steve Novak combined for 36 points on 6-11 from three. Those two out-scored the entire Wizards bench by 10, and Washington's reserves shot a dismal 1-8 from downtown. Kevin Seraphin drew the ire of Coach Wittman for a long jumper and a silly over the back foul 15 feet from the basket when the Wizards were in the bonus, resulting in two New York free throws. The Frenchman was overall ineffective. Also, rookies are not going to get the benefit of the doubt on whistles, so it could be easy to argue that Jan Vesely is being fingered for this initiation by the refs. But not really; he is just constantly fouling, in reality. Vesely closes out on shooters by landing atop of them and swings his arms wildly on help defense. His five fouls in 14 minutes were all earned. This was one of Jordan Crawford's poorest outings in weeks (2-10 FG), he never found a rhythm. Shelvin Mack was held scoreless, looked out of sync and both of his careless turnovers led to easy buckets. Mo Evans connected on few jumpers, yet, the vet did not show much else to deserve his 21 minutes of burn. Roger Mason has be leading the league in makes with his foot on the 3-point line as he racked up another instance in his lone basket.
0.5 Star (out of 3)
|Sub Man of the Game: Mo Evans
|ALLEN: The bench combined to go 9-29 for 25 points, most of which came from Jordan Crawford (2-10), but it still wasn't a good performance. Maurice Evans had a good showing with 9 points, an encouraging sign. This was definitely not the bench performance we saw from Washington against the Orlando Magic.
0.5 Star
|Sub Man of the Game: Mo Evans
|WEIDIE: No one on the bench really starred, but they packed nice punch as a collective unit… I can't find much wrong with any reserve who played. Crawford did take a bad shot or two… fine, but 13 points on 5-11 FGs is a nice, measured night for him. He hustled on defense, even though he did get burned by Jerryd Bayless a couple times. There was even a Mo Evans sighting, his 15 minutes, 3 minutes short of his previous season total, didn't look particularly great, but let him chip of some rust.
0.75 Star
|Sub Man of the Game: Jordan Crawford (I refuse to give this to Mo Evans by default… at least Crawford had 3 assists, but he did have 2 turnover, so…)
BENCH TOTAL: 1.75 out of 9 stars
The Coach: Randy Wittman
|KYLE WEIDIE: I think Randy Wittman, known more as an enforcer when an assistant in the past (again, the whole "polar opposite" of Flip Saunders thing, his words), seems like a more patient man now. Or, maybe he's just worn down by the situation. Or, maybe he knows his fate is a paycheck for 40 more games of tolerating this. Saunders was "tired of looking at that shit" in the preseason; Wittman must love him some basketball, it's just that the basketball gods aren't loving him right now. I have no inherent problem with Wittman's rotations, he's trying anything and everything. The coach has been given an insufficient roster and his players are not performing. Still, that doesn't mean he isn't being watched. "Don't say it can't get any worse," Saunders also used to say. You have to wonder what would happen if Washington did make Sam Cassell head coach, but gave him a much more veteran staff of assistants than there is now. Nothing wrong with Wittman, just wondering…
1.25 Star (out of 3)
|ALLEN: Not much to say, it was nice seeing Maurice Evans get some time in the rotation, but Wittman was in a tough spot with McGee in foul trouble, which didn't leave him with many options to match up.
0.5 Star
|MCGINNIS: Lin was misfiring on jumpers. Wittman and staff should have made Wall go under the ball screens to make Lin beat Washington from a distance. Another glaring mistake was Washington's inability to recognize Steve Novak as a shooter.
1 Star
COACH TOTAL: 2.75 out of 9 stars
Seen on the Scene
w/ Adam McGinnis
- The nickname given to the Jeremy Lin hoopla has appropriately been dubbed "Linsanity," because everything surrounding him is INSANE. Knicks fans were their usual obnoxious selves in the Phone Booth, so that was expected, but the the thousands of Asians who flocked to see Lin was almost surreal. During Knicks warm-ups, two rows of foreign media snapped pictures and captured video.
- There were literally 15-20 Lin-related signs and a majority of them were made by Lin supporters, not New York fans.
- Multiple groups had Lin's name spelled out in a line of people wearing letter t-shirts.
- LINSANITY is also having Super Agent David Falk standing immediately to your left as you wait among the heavy New York and Asian media throngs ready to pounce on the Knicks locker room, while you recognize Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano over to your right, waiting. The former governor of Arizona appeared to be the guest of Suns coach Mike D'Antoni, and the two had a lengthy conversation. Secretary Napolitano was impressed by Lin.
- In the locker room before game, Roger Mason answered his phone "How u."
- During Pregame Q & A, Mike D'Antoni called Wall the fastest player in the NBA.
- Late in the 4th quarter, McGee blew a defensive assignment on a pick-and-roll and Wizards called timeout. Wittman barked something in the general direction of McGee before setting up shop with his assistant coaches to strategize. McGee was animated at the end of the bench, motioning his arms with the infamous JaVale sour look-face. The player who came over to calm him down and in street clothes… none other than Mr. Andray Blatche.
- B.J. Armstrong, former Chicago Bulls player and executive, took in the game next to Pam McGee. Armstrong is JaVale's agent and still looks like he could get carded when buying booze. The three-time NBA champion guard stared at the University of Iowa and was honored last Saturday for the 25th anniversary of 1986-87 Elite 8 team. Armstrong's Hawkeyes were ranked number one in regular season, won 30 games, and defeated the eventual national champion Indiana, becoming first team to ever put up a 100 on Bobby Knight. They were coached by Dr. Tom Davis, mentor of Maryland's Gary Williams, and a young assistant on the staff was the former, disgraced Tennessee Vols coach Bruce Pearl.
- Lin was the number one trending item on Twitter and #Linsanity also made the top ten list.
- This Wizards switched up the player to lead the dancing in the hype circle after pre-game introductions and before tip-off. It was Trevor Booker's turn Wednesday night, and he literally stood in the center of the circle of teammates, motionless the whole time before the circle broke up. This brought laughter amongst the Wiz kids.
Top Tweets
@Above_Legit: I want the next player the Wizards draft to take an IQ test
@iloveredskins: So I guess the Knicks didn't shit talk the wiz during shoot around. Either that, or they didn't play 2pac.
@PatrickTruby: I feel bad for John Wall.
@AthanDCTarHeel: Were Wizards playing the Soviet Union? @Truth_About_It Randy Wittman: "This game boiled down to containment."
End Scene
-Jeremy Lin's response to a reporter who kept yelling out for him to talk about the "Tim Tebow comparison" (not sure who's making that… Bleacher Report, if I had to guess). There were some groans from other media in the scrum, and Lin didn't really answer the question, moving on to the next one. It was an awkward, yet funny scene… it always is with hoards of foreign media around to cover a player for whatever reason. But hey, I'm not complaining… it gave me the opportunity to jokingly yell out "Talk about Teee-BOW!" as Lin departed down the hallway after his media session was over.

Oh BTW, I have just posted my monthly write up on the Wizards. You can check it out right here:
First Wizards game I've seen in a while cause of Lin and I see not much has changed. Some comments
1.) Bash McGee all you want, but he is the best post player on this team. His helpside presence is unmatched on this team. Does he get everything that comes through the paint? No. Can he play pick/roll defense? No. But he is so much better than anyone else on this team in terms of defending the paint. A lot of that is entirely athleticism, but still it's something the Wizards don't have much of in the front court.
2.) Why is Seraphin in the NBA? Why did Grunfeld spend a 1st round pick on him? He isn't overly athletic. Has zero skills. Zero basketball instincts. Still can't set a pick. What do they see in this guy?
3.) Crawford is still awful. No surprise.
4.) Am I the only one who notices how much better Lin makes his teammates compared to Wall? Lin turned Tyson Chandler into an all-star. 25pts for Chandler? Wow. His awareness of where Walker and Novak are on the court is impressive. I don't think Wall has a clue when Roger Mason is even in the game or how to set him up. Wall's played 2 years with McGee, and you compare their pick/roll ability with Lin/Chandler who have played 3 games, and it's not even a comparison. Wall's ability to play in the half court and set his teammates up just isn't on par with Lin. And it's why the Knicks scored 107pts and the Wiz barely cracked 90.
#1 I would have to argue a healthy Blatche is better than McGee in the post.
#2 Seraphin is raw but he is developing ok..remember a 1st round nba pick isn't the same as an nfl 1st round nfl pick…as long as he becomes productive…ie rebounding, defense, the pick is worthwhile
#3 have you not been watching Crawford as of recent? He has been playing well and is not chucking everything
#4 not much wall can do if his team mates can't make open shots, pass, or even shoot. We can use someone like Novak but Wall had no one to pass it to. Saying wall doesn't make his team better is like saying jasOn Kidd didn't his first stink w the Mavs when they sucked…we could use some talent around him
-Blatche doesn't play in the post. He stands around the perimeter and shoots jumpers. He is a power forward in name only.
-Seraphin is raw and not very athletic. He is just a bulky guy. There is nothing about him that says first round talent. He has never been productive for this team. He should be in the d-league. Although, I've heard his agent has some understanding with the team that they won't send him down there. It's only stunting hid development. Not that he seems to be developing very much based on last night.
-I just checked Crawford's last 10 games. According to ESPN he is shooting 36%. He is at 37.5% for the year. Seems like same old terrible Jordan Crawford to me.
-Sam old defense of Wall. "He has no talent around him" blah blah blah. Guess who else didn't have any talent around him? Jeremy Lin. And he managed to get his team to score 107 last night. And which offensive weapons is he working with? Landry Fields, Bill Walker, Jared Jeffries, and Tyson Chandler? The only guy in that unit who averages double digits is Chandler at 12 per game who has never been known as an offensive force. So yeah, cut the excuses. Wall still has no concept of how to operate in the half-court, something Lin seems to have picken up quite quickly
We need a true post player and a consistent scorer on the wing. Around the league with NBA fans John Wall takes all the heat for this team playing bad. He struggled early in this season, but his jumper is coming along. 50 plus percent shooting in 4 straight games.

While entering the arrival pattern at the destination the airplane exhausted its fuel and the pilot executed an emergency landing short of the runway. The pilot had been airborne for about 5 hours 10 minutes. She had been managing the fuel system by switching tanks about every hour. She made the final switch to the right tank 10 minutes prior to arriving at her destination airport. She overflew the destination airport and executed the prescribed entry. While in a left-hand turn to enter the downwind leg, and at 1,500 feet above ground level (agl), the engine began to run abnormally and then lost power. She diverted to the crosswind runway, and landed short of the runway threshold in desert vegetation. An examination of the airplane revealed that neither the left wing fuel tank or the right wing fuel tank contained fuel. The tanks were not compromised and there was no evidence of fuel leakage. In this unfueled condition both left and right cockpit fuel gages read 1/4. The airplane was fueled with 1 gallon avgas in the left tank. The engine was started and ran satisfactorily.

Tips to care for storm-damaged trees from Illinois Arborist Association
* Recent storms remind that simple steps taken now can have a lasting positive impact
Staff Report
ANTIOCH, Ill.—Devastating tornadoes and storms ravaged much of the Midwest in recent days. The trail of destruction included thousands of trees severely damaged or at least impacted by Mother Nature. Unprotected, trees that are damaged may appear to have fatal wounds. However, though major branches may be broken, or the bark may be torn and gouged, trees have an amazing ability to recover from even the most severe cases.
First aid for damaged trees after a major storm can help trees recover, urges the Illinois Arborist Association (IAA), the local chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). Residents are encouraged to follow a few simple tree first aid procedures.
1. Do not try to do it all by yourself. If large limbs are broken or hanging, or if ladder or overhead chain saw work is needed, it is a job for a ISA Certified Arborist.
2. Take safety precautions. Look up and look down. Be on the alert and stay away from downed utility lines and dangerous hanging branches that look ready to fall.
3. Assess the damages. Evaluate your trees carefully by asking: Other than the wind damage, is the tree basically healthy and vigorous? Are major limbs still remaining? Is at least 50 percent of the tree's crown (branches and leaves) still intact? Are there remaining branches that can form a new branch structure? If you answered "yes" to the majority of these questions, there is a good chance for complete recovery. Contact an ISA Certified Arborist to determine the tree's exact condition.
4. Remove any broken branches or stubs still attached to the tree. Remove the jagged remains of smaller-sized broken limbs to minimize the risk of decay. Prune smaller branches at the point where they join larger ones. For larger broken branches, a professional arborist who has the necessary equipment and knowledge should cut them back to the trunk or a main limb.
5. Resist the urge to over-prune. Do not worry if the tree's appearance is not perfect. With branches gone, your trees may look unbalanced or naked. You will be surprised at how fast they will heal, grow new foliage, and return to their natural beauty.
6. Do not top your trees! Professional arborists say that "topping," the cutting of main branches back to stubs, is extremely harmful and unhealthy for trees. Stubs often grow back many weakly-attached branches that are higher and are more likely to break when a storm strikes. Also, topping reduces the amount of foliage, on which the tree depends for the food and nourishment needed for re-growth. A topped tree that has already sustained major storm damage is more likely to die than repair itself.
A qualified tree care professional can assist you with the damages and will perform the job safely. To locate a certified arborist in your area, contact the IAA at (877) 617-8887 or visit www.illinoisarborist.org.

Sharon Osbourne Quits America's Got Talent, Alleges Discrimination Against NBCby Hilton Hater at . Comments
NBC brought Howard Stern on board America's Got Talent this summer.
But who would have guessed it would be fellow judge Sharon Osbourne who would cause the most controversy for the show and the network?
In an exclusive interview with The New York Post, the panelist says she is leaving the series after this season due to the way NBC mishandled her son Jack, his participation on the show Stars Earn Stripes and his recent multiple sclerosis diagnosis.
Osbourne alleges that Jack had a deal in place to appear on the the aforementioned program - which pits celebrities against one another in military training exercises - only for producers to fire him two days prior to filming, not long after he went public with his disease.
"It's discrimination, and it was badly handled," Osbourne tells the newspaper.Producer David Hurwitz says Jack was never officially hired for Stars Earn Stripes, though Chuck LaBella, NBC's vice president of talent relations, sent him an email on May 18 that reads "we are looking forward to working with you."
Within a few weeks, the MS diagnosis was known and Hurwitz sent a message that said "the rigors of the show [would be] too intense" for Jack and the network could no longer move forward with his participation.
As a result of the dispute, Sharon Osbourne says it's "time to move on" from America's Got Talent. In response, a network spokesperson has issued the following statement:
"Sharon has been a valuable part of the NBC family. We regret any misunderstanding and wish Jack well."
Somewhere, Conan O'Brien and Ann Curry simply can't believe NBC mishandled the situation.
Okay, heres a RELEVANT comment as opposed to the arguing. I loved Sharon on the show. I do think she has a right to be known, not because of her relationship, but because she was a GREAT judge on the show. She was my favorite judge because while she could be sensitive, she could be very honest and I loved her for that. Also, she's been with the show for such a long time, it won't be the same without her. My favorite judge panal on the show was: Pierce Morgan, Sharon Osbourne, and Howie Mandel
To all you mud slingers this page is about sharon not each other
I agree completely with Lana Feel very badly for Jack, he's just a kid BUT that old hag is only around because she's married to a talent She had absolutely no talent of her own She needs to disappear from the public She did nothing important to deserve the right SHE IS A WICKED LADY WHO WILL TURN ON ANYONE TO KEEP HER PLACE I NEVER LIKED HER
Whatever reason she wants to leave we'll gladly accept it Shes gotta go So sick of her The way she treated Lea Rememy and the other young lady SHE'S A SNAKE She's so petty and pissy she will be forgotten very quickly
@woofy69 - We are shoveling it right onto your doorstep - enjoy it my dear. Sharon and her family moved here to better themselves.
Hey Palice. At least "stupied" Americans know how to use spell check.
Sharon o has a big mouth but thats why she makes her who she is and for lana im british and proud off it and our queen rocks
For Lana:
Anyway your quite welcome to keep Sharon osbourn, us brits dont wont her.......
For Lana:
YOU SHOULD WAKE UP AND SMELL WHAT YOUR SHOVELING, (as you think the world revolves arond you.)
For lana grow up

Welcome to the Sullivan Lab* at the University of Arizona
also known as the Tucson Marine Phage Lab (TMPL)
*at Ohio State University Microbiology Department as of June 2015
Viruses Impact Microbial Processes
As the world faces global change and resource limitation, understanding the planet's microbes (e.g. bacteria, archaea) becomes a necessity. This is because microbes drive the biogeochemistry that runs the planet, and are central to human endeavors, from food to health to industry. Viruses that infect other microbes profoundly shape microbial populations and processes by acting as both major predators and sources of new genes.
We work to understand viral impacts on globally important microbial processes. As empiricists, we test hypotheses through direct systems-level studies of natural populations, complemented by developing and studying model phage-host systems in the lab with the goal of generating the data required for predictive ecosystem modeling. Practically, we develop new ways to "see" viruses — in the microscope, in environmental sequence datasets, in experiments — i.e., we are learning how to "count" across different data types.
Given this quantitative toolkit, current research questions include:
1) What is a viral population or species?
2) How do viral assemblages change over space and time, and what drives these patterns?
3) How do bottom-up processes impact top-down predators?
