Springbok assistant coaches Gary Gold and Dick Muir have had a major influence on the team's playing philosophy, writes Gavin Rich in SA Rugby magazine.
In the movie Robin Hood, the hero plays a defining role in the battle that enables the English to beat off an intended French invasion.
The English monarch, King John, seeing the French surrender, asks who they are surrendering to. One of John's right-hand men points at the Robin Longstride (later to become Hood) character, played by Russell Crowe, and says, 'They are surrendering to him'.
No doubt the king is aware of the role that Robin has played in saving England, but at the same time he is jealous of his popularity. He reacts by declaring Robin an outlaw of the state.
Why are we starting off a story about the Springbok assistant coaches by retelling a Hollywood screenplay? Because there may be a little of King John in Springbok coach Peter de Villiers. His public tirade against his management team in April could only have been sparked by dissatisfaction that others were being credited with the Springboks' success.
In the end, the coach's threat to sack staff never amounted to anything, and the same management team that ended the last international season were working with De Villiers when the Springboks started the new one.
What De Villiers was doing, or so it emerged, was just blowing off steam, doing a bit of sabre rattling to warn his management members while at the same time sending out the message to the public that he is the boss.
To understand why there would be a need to do that you have to understand that like all of us, De Villiers is human. That means he does have an ego, and while publicly he did all the right things last year by staying in the background when the players celebrated the Tri-Nations triumph, privately it must rankle with him that he didn't get full credit from some sections of the media and public.
That the Springbok team is run by committee should be obvious to anyone who has read John Smit's autobiography. It should have been clear to anyone who understands the game that the Springboks did not achieve their success against the British & Irish Lions and in the Tri-Nations playing the off-the-cuff rugby that De Villiers spoke about when he first took over.
Behind the scenes a long battle was being waged in 2008 to get the Boks back to the game that won the World Cup just a year earlier. The players were part of that battle, but the assistant coaches were also facing each other across the trenches, with the different philosophies of Dick Muir and Gary Gold having an impact on the initial formulation of policy, as well as the evolution that followed.
To explain all of this, it is instructive to go back to the article I wrote on the assistant coaches for SA Rugby magazine in May 2008. At the time they were being appointed, they were clearly not being recruited as assistants who would just follow the head coach's policy, but would be part of policy formulation.
The problem was that even back then they knew they had conflicting views on how the game should be played, though they tried hard to make it seem like a positive.
'I know Peter's style from his time with Western Province [he coached the Disas], and obviously I know Dick from what he has done with the Sharks, and I would say that in a subtle way we do have different philosophies,' said Gold. 'Neither philosophy is right or wrong, but while I believe there should be some structure, I think Peter and Dick are what you could call "heads-up coaches". They like their players to play what's in front of them.'
Gold went on to say that Muir probably wouldn't disagree that it was only when John Plumtree arrived as his assistant that structure was brought to the Sharks in 2007, and it was then that the Sharks evolved into the finished article. Gold was right, Muir didn't disagree.
'It's about striking the right balance between structure and letting the players make the decisions, and I think your ability to get this right depends heavily on where you are with the players in their development,' said Muir. 'Looking back, I think that in a manner of speaking I was trying to run with players who at the time just weren't ready to run. I firmly believe that if you have the complete product, in other words players who are experienced and developed enough, you don't need structure.'
That Muir statement explains a lot. Clearly when he became involved with the Springboks, he thought the players were the finished article. Let's wind the clock back to the first Springbok training camp under the De Villiers regime in Stellenbosch in late May 2008.
The Sharks had made the Super 14 semi-finals, so they weren't part of the Bok squad at first muster. Muir wasn't part of the management that first addressed the players at the Lord Charles Hotel in Somerset West.
Perhaps it explains why when the Boks went into their first training sessions, structure was not just a small feature of what they were doing – it was massive.
I watched one of those sessions with Brendan Venter, who was the Stormers defence coach at the time and is now in charge of Saracens. Venter was open mouthed at what he was seeing, and exclaimed that the structured session he was watching was the antithesis of the heads-up approach that De Villiers had been preaching in the media.
Venter was even more confounded when he heard some of the regular Stormers codes being called out, and saw the Springboks running Stormers drills and moves. Stormers coach Rassie Erasmus was also watching from the stands at the Danie Craven Stadium.
Understandably, Gold became unpopular with Erasmus for a while, and he was also in hot water with De Villiers when I wrote in the Weekend Argus that the Springboks were employing Stormers strategy. I know this because Venter, a good friend of Gold's, told me as much.
But Venter wasn't the only person I chatted to during that Stellenbosch camp. The players were more talkative in those early days about the De Villiers reign, and one of them told me towards the end of the camp that everything had been well on track and the squad had been heading towards a structured approach before Muir arrived and, in his words, 'messed it up'.
The Boks continued with what they started, however, when they played the first game under De Villiers against Wales in Bloemfontein. For the first 50 minutes it was text-book traditional Bok rugby, with Butch James playing one of his better games of that year. The Boks won comfortably.
Unfortunately, though, they scored a couple of long-range tries once the Welsh were forced into a massive catch-up game in the second half, and this must have duped De Villiers into leaning back in the direction of the Muir heads-up approach. We media probably didn't help when, in praising the Boks the next day, we noted that little had changed in overall strategy since the World Cup.
It was heads-up rugby that the Boks played in the early part of the Loftus game, only the heads were clearly missing – it looked like chicken-without-heads rugby. The Boks won in the end, but they nearly ran themselves out on their feet, and the Welsh were allowed to be far more competitive than they had been in Bloemfontein.
This pattern of doing well with structure one week and then forsaking it with near disastrous results was to continue for much of the season. For instance, the overly frenetic approach of Wellington was followed by a more controlled and structured approach in Dunedin, and the Boks scored a historic victory.
But instead of going to Australia retaining the same approach, the Boks telegraphed an intention to become more attacking by dropping Percy Montgomery. The Boks lost in Perth, and they lost 19-0 to the All Blacks at Newlands playing rugby that was a long way from the tried and trusted Bok template.
And so to Durban, and the match against the Wallabies, where the chasm in the camp in terms of the intended approach was made obvious to the media by the massive differences in the utterances of the players, the two assistants and the head coach.
At the media conferences during the week, Jean de Villiers spoke about the need to play from the right positions on the field and to kick when on the wrong side of halfway, and Juan Smith spoke about the virtues of structure. So did Gold. But when Muir spoke he was clearly speaking heads-up rugby again, and he and De Villiers seemed convinced there had not been any error with the strategy in the Newlands disaster.
Behind the scenes a meeting had taken place, at the behest of the assistant coaches, between players and management at which a new way forward was formulated. Under pressure, De Villiers was forced to let the players have their way – but judging from his and Muir's statements, they didn't know what that way was.
The return to structure didn't bear immediate dividends in Durban because some 50-50 calls went against the Boks early on. When they fell behind they lost composure, and it was clear not all the players were on the same page. Neither were the coaches, for The Mercury reported afterwards that two different strategies were suggested to skipper Victor Matfield by the respective assistant coaches at half-time.
History shows that a return to direct rugby saw the Boks score a massive win over the Wallabies in Johannesburg in the final Test of that Tri-Nations, and but for a slight wobble in Edinburgh, the template was retained for the end-of-year tour and into 2009.
Of the two assistants, Gold played the more important role in the success of the new player-driven culture because his understanding of the need for a structured approach led him to act as an interface between the players and the other coaches.
Percy Montgomery, when he was with the Boks last year, also played a massive role in preaching structure, and in the Tri-Nations he played a bigger role than merely performing the duties of a kicking coach.
The reality is that strategy within the Springbok set-up has never really been driven by De Villiers – there have been occasions, such as in the beginning in Stellenbosch, when Gold was clearly allowed to have influence. There were other times when Muir had more influence, usually coinciding with a heads-up playing style, and of course, over the past 18 months the players have been steering the ship.
But the senior players cannot be fall guys because they are seen as indispensible. The assistants may be more expendable to De Villiers, which explains why it was management who were in the line of fire when he thrust out his chest and proclaimed 'I am the boss!' That was what De Villiers' media outburst was about.
In order to do so, he had to find a suitable fall guy, and his fellow management were easy targets.

Cleveland County Sheriff's Office investigators recently cleared more than a dozen home break-in investigations and said the five charged with the crimes are all tied to a local gang.
Sheriff Alan Norman said the four men and one woman who kicked in doors and stole thousands of dollars worth of items from 14 homes are members of the Bloods gang.
Norman said they were identified as members through intelligence gathering and interviews.
The group broke into homes in the south and southeastern part of the county between October 2012 and March of this year, he said, targeting jewelry, electronics and weapons.
Xavier Rashawn Banner, Christopher O'Brian Moore, Helen Michelle Moss, Kenaz Montel Byers and Aaron Rashun Byers were all charged with multiple counts of breaking and entering, felony larceny and other charges.
Aaron Rashun Byers has outstanding warrants for his arrest and law enforcement officers are still searching for the 18-year-old.
Gang problem in Cleveland County?
Although gang activity is nothing new in Cleveland County, it's an issue law enforcement has shied away from discussing in the past.Norman said a gang is defined as "a group of three or more persons who have a common identifying sign, symbol or name and whose members individually or collectively engage in or have engaged in a pattern of criminal activity, creating an atmosphere of fear and intimidation within the community."
"There's been a gang problem for quite some time within Shelby and Cleveland County," Norman said. "It was not recognized or no one wanted to acknowledge it in the past."
He described the gangs in the county as "loose-knit criminals."
Norman said the issue of gangs in the county needs to be addressed before it becomes more serious.
He compared gangs to a cancer that continues to grow if left unchecked.
"This is becoming a growing problem for the greater Cleveland County area," Norman said. "If it's not addressed or addressed in a proper manner we're going to see more and more of it because of our close proximity to metropolitan areas of Charlotte and Gastonia."
He said "thugs" have no regard for someone else's property or for other human beings.
"These individuals are capable of doing anything," Norman said. "Any time if you have one gang member, regardless of what gang he's actually a member of, if they're involved in criminal wrong-doing or misconduct, that's one gang member too many for Cleveland County."
Criminal activity
Norman said, late last summer, the sheriff's office dealt with members of the Bloods.
He said in both last year and this year's case, the members were kicking in the doors of homes around the county during the daytime hours when the owners weren't home.
He said in the most recent case, the sheriff's office executed search warrants and were able to recover some of the stolen property.
The value of the items was estimated to be in the thousands of dollars.
Norman said the group charged in the recent home break-ins could be prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office.
"My hat's off to the employees here … for bringing four of these five to face justice in a rapid manner and being able to clear this many break-ins and recover some stolen property," he said.
Education, stern law enforcement and prosecuting people to the fullest extent possible will go a long way in attempting to rid the county of gang members, he said.
'We have to deal with it and mitigate it'
Shelby Police Chief Jeff Ledford said gangs have been becoming more prevalent statewide in the past two years.
In the city of Shelby, he said, there are basically two main gangs -- the Bloods and the Crips -- with numerous hybrid groups springing up called "sets."
"If we don't get ahead of it, it's going to pose a bigger problem," Ledford said.
He said the Shelby Police problem-solving unit conducts gang investigations. A violent crimes coordinator tracks gang activity, crimes that may be gang-related and validates whether a group is in fact a gang.
Ledford said there is a check sheet that helps law enforcement identify the authenticity of a gang member.
The criteria includes insignias, tattoos, hand signs, self-admission and association with known gangs.
Shelby Police Capt. Steve Canipe said gangs pose a potential for violence in public places and also have to have a way to support themselves, typically through criminal activity, such as breaking into homes or businesses.
"It's here so now we have to deal with it and mitigate it," Ledford said. "Everyone working together sends the message that we're not going to have this in our city and county."
The department also networks and shares information on gangs with other agencies outside the department's jurisdiction.
'It's their surrogate family'
Canipe said most of the people who are gang-affiliated in Shelby range in age from late teens to early 20s.He said, in many cases, young people get involved for the sense of belonging.
"It's their surrogate family," he said.
In the past few years, Ledford said, the focus of gang involvement has shifted from a specific purpose and territory to a sense of camaraderie.
He said the issue is being talked about more now and police are getting out and building relationships in the community.
"Being open to talking about it is better than turning a blind eye," he said.

Research News
Department of Geography: Achievements June 2011 – April 2012Posted Mar. 27, 2012
Social Science Research
Recent research activity in the social sciences conducted by Department of Geography faculty members between June 2011 and March 2012 includes seven presentations.
David Kaplan
Kaplan, David. 2011. Visiting Chair of Geopolitics at the Institute of French Geopolitics at the University of Paris 8.
- France and particularly Paris have experienced tremendous waves of immigration from several sources, such that the fabric of the cities has been completely transformed. The contentious nature of this new ethnic geography was widely publicized with the riots which erupted in some Parisian suburbs in summer 2005, but tensions are always simmering below the surface. Dr. Kaplan spent the spring semester living with a family in Paris's most diverse neighborhood, known as the Goutte d'Or, which includes an exceptionally high number of immigrants from the Maghreb and Sub-Saharan Africa. While this neighborhood is poor, it is exceptionally busy with small shops and street vendors. In keeping with accepted geographical field practices, Dr. Kaplan inventoried the variety of businesses and land uses in the Goutte d'Or and established here the existence of true ethnic based economies. In addition, extensive interviews were conducted with the merchants along three specific corridors in order to assess the nature of the business, the employees, clientele and elements of change. This research is now being prepared for publication as articles and part of a book.
- Dr. Kaplan gave seven public talks (three in French and four in English) while at the institute. One discussion in particular was initiated at the behest of the Paris-based French American Foundation, entitled "Population et Communauté Musulmanes des Etats-Unis.", and looked into some recent trends in the growth of the Muslim population within the United States. This is an area of fascination for the French seeing as how their Muslim population has expanded considerably. The elements of this talk were presented at another time, in Paris's American Cathedral. This public presentations, along with others presentations and the opportunity to teach French graduate students, provided a greater cross-cultural comparison of how diversity is perceived in France and the United States.
James Tyner
Tyner, James. Nominated for the Asian Geography Specialty Group Distinguished Service Awards (American Association of Geographers).
- Dr. James (Jim) Tyner is a consummate geographer whose research has helped fill lacunae in our understandings of Asia and specifically, Southeast Asia, his region of expertise. Jim has contributed much to Asian Studies through his research on Southeast Asia, his advocacy of Asia-related research and teaching at Kent State University and his leadership in the AAG's Asian Geography Specialty Group. His studies focus on issues such as politics, culture, population, and gender in Southeast Asia. His scholarly output is remarkable: thirteen scholarly books; over fifty refereed articles and book chapters; numerous encyclopedia entries and other publications. Additionally, he has presented his research at numerous conferences, as guest lectures, and invited plenary speeches the world over. Jim has queried and analyzed the exploitation and oppression of migrant female workers from the Philippines; genocide and mass violence in Cambodia; and the legacies of militarism and warfare in Southeast Asia. His ground breaking scholarship has led to various awards: the AAG Meridian Book Award for Outstanding Scholarly Work in Geography; the James Blaut Award; the Glenda Laws Award; and the Julian Minghi Award for Outstanding Research Contribution to Political Geography. He is also recognized for his promotion of social justice within and beyond academia. Jim has been a faithful member of the Asian Geography Specialty Group, and has served as the Southeast Asia regional director, Secretary/Treasurer and most recently, as Chair of the AGSG. He is also the co-coordinator of the Asian Studies Program at Kent State University.

- A GIS (Geographic Information Science) analysis of the distribution of sinkholes, with the site of Xuenkal having the densest clustering. The sinkholes are typically 20 to 100m wide and 2 to 8m depp. Mandy Munro-Stasiuk and Kam Manahan (Anthropology) have systematically been collecting spatial, environmental, and ground penetrating radar data from these sinkholes to understand their physical properties and why they may have been so attractive to the Ancient Maya. Specifically, the nature of the geology, hydrogeology, micro-climate, and soils were documented. A network of data-loggers emplaced in and around one sinkhole logged temperature, atmospheric moisture and soil moisture every 30 minutes for 18 months to determine if temperature and moisture conditions in the sinkholes were different than outside. The results convincingly showed that there was a major oasis effect in the sinkholes. In contrast to the surrounding environment, they have thicker soils, more humid microclimates, lower daytime temperatures, higher nighttime temperatures, and much higher and more constant soil moisture year-round. Based on archaeological evidence, these distinct micro-environments were likely used as garden plots that hosted lucrative cash crops that needed high maintenance. The results of this research have just been accepted for publication in Geoarchaeology, a major cross-disciplinary journal. The research was funded by the National Science Foundation and the KSU Research Council, and provided training experience for six undergraduate and two masters students.

WINSTON-SALEM — Needing a victory to become bowl qualified, Wake Forest instead got blasted by a more powerful Vanderbilt team with bigger aims than mere postseason eligibility.
The visiting Commodores' 55-21 blowout slapped a resounding thud on the finish of Wake Forest's regular season in football Saturday at BB&T Field.
And as the Demon Deacons emerged from their locker room with their record having dropped to 5-7 — shouldering the weight of three straight losses by a combined margin of 130-27 — the tone of finality and resignation in some voices spoke volumes.
"Being 5-7, I don't know if we would truly deserve to be in a bowl game," fullback Tommy Bohanon said. "That's the goal of every season, to go and get to a bowl game. We would want to go to a bowl game. But being 5-7 is kind of hard to justify going to a bowl game."
The quirks of the bowl matrix could have worked in Wake Forest's favor. With 35 bowls, 70 slots need to be filled. Sixty-one teams entered the week eligible and nine more were added to that list the past two days.
The Demon Deacons, despite their losing record, could have assumed the role of replacement solution in the bowl system, especially given their strong Academic Progress Rate.
Some players such as receiver Michael Campanaro and linebacker Riley Haynes said they would embrace a chance to play another game. Bohanon and coach Jim Grobe, though, were blunt in assessing the bowl situation.
"We're not a competitive team right now," Grobe said, when asked if Wake Forest deserved a postseason berth.
The scored was tied 7-7 in the second quarter when Vanderbilt (8-4) broke open Saturday's game with a flurry of three touchdowns in 6½ minutes.
Wesley Tate's 15-yard scoring run was followed by Jordan Rodgers' 64-yard touchdown bomb to Jordan Matthews, who darted diagonally across a crowd running vertically down the seam of the field to grab a pass that initially seemed intended for tight end Kris Kentera.
"The long pass was a little bit ridiculous," Grobe said. "We looked like Keystone Cops back there, stumbling all around, acting like we've never been back there before. It was really a ball that I thought we should have made a play on."
Next, the Commodores capitalized on Sherman Ragland's fumble to move ahead 28-7 on Zac Stacy's 4-yard run via a direct snap with 63 seconds remaining in the first half.
Trailing by three touchdowns, Wake Forest's response to start the second half quickly became far from inspiring.
Deandre Martin was stuffed for a 1-yard loss and Tanner Price threw back-to-back incompletions. Then Vanderbilt blocked Alexander Kinal's punt and scored, increasing its lead to 35-7.
"A couple things happened and it felt like the wind went out of our sail," Haynes said. "I definitely wanted to go out on a higher note."
In the fourth quarter, with the stadium emptied substantially amid the cold night air, the Commodores tacked on big-play touchdowns covering 83 yards on Jonathan Krause's punt return and Stacy's 90-yard sprint.
"I was afraid we were going to have some trouble holding up," Grobe said. "We're just held together by duct tape right now up front on the offense line and then we've got some of the exact same issues in the secondary."
Stacy churned out 180 rushing yards for Vanderbilt. Rodgers (17 of 23 for 229 yards and two touchdowns), the younger brother of Green Bay Packers star Aaron Rodgers, attempted only three passes after halftime. Matthews had 10 catches for 144 yards, all in the first half.
Vanderbilt, reaching nearly unprecedented heights under second-year coach James Franklin, has compiled a six-game winning streak for the first time since 1955.
-- EXTRA POINTS …: Wake Forest's scores came on Bohanon's 1-yard touchdown plunge on fourth-and-goal in the first quarter, Martin's 1-yard run in the third quarter and Chibuikem Okoro's 4-yard touchdown fumble return with 6:28 remaining. … The first touchdown marked the first rushing attempt of the season for Bohanon, a senior. … Campanaro caught a pass in his 21st consecutive game. He finished with eight catches for 98 yards. … Kinal's five punts gave him 95 for the season, an Atlantic Coast Conference record. … Vanderbilt has won seven of eight games since its Sept. 22 loss at Georgia. … The Commodores' Carey Spear hit long-distance field goals of 52 and 50 yards.

What is it? a plastic container and cutting device that helps make using plastic wrap or aluminum foil easier
What does it claim? that you can wrap food in a flash when you just pull, press and wrap
Who tested it? Chesapeake resident Marie Smith
What Are The Instructions? The first thing you need to do is insert the roll of whatever wrap you are planning to use into the Wraptastic. To do that, you have to remove the roll from its original packaging. Then insert the spring loaded caps into each end of the paper tube by squeezing tabs and gently twisting. Next, place the roll into Wraptastic cutting device with the wrap coming over the top. Now you're ready to use Wraptastic.
Open up the lid to grasp the edges of your wrap. Then pull the wrap to your desired length. Next all you have to do is close the lid to cut the wrap by pressing firmly on both sides. The concealed blade in your Wraptastic is sharp. So be sure to avoid contact with it and children should not use Wraptastic without adult supervision. Wraptastic holds most standard rolls up to 200 feet.
Did it work? Smith was very impressed at first. She found using Wraptastic a lot easier than than trying to rip the plastic wrap from its original box. After using it a few times, she started becoming less impressed. While she did find that it was easier to rip the plastic wrap with Wraptastic she also found it to be a little bit more cumbersome. Part of the problem was the non-slip rubber feet on the bottom of the Wraptastic did not seem to work so it kept sliding around when she tried to rip the plastic wrap off. So after giving it several tries our tester decided Wraptastic was not for her.
Cost/Availability? You can purchase Wraptastic for $10.88 at Walmart.
Additional Comments: Wraptastic can be used with plastic wrap, aluminum foil and wax paper. It is also dishwasher safe on the top shelf.

OXFORD, Ohio – Junior shortstop Kylie McChesney blasted the first pitch she saw over the left field wall in the bottom of the eighth inning to give the Miami University softball team a dramatic, 5-4, victory over Northern Illinois on Sunday. The walk-off win improves the RedHawks record to 6-2 in the Mid-American Conference and 12-20 overall. The Huskies fall to 1-5 in the MAC and 11-22 overall.
Miami struck first with a run in the bottom of the first. Taylor Shuey led off with a single to left field. Tiyona Marshall reached on a fielder's choice bunt back to the pitcher. Shuey was safe at second when the pitcher threw it away. Hailey Reed followed with another bunt, and this time the third baseman threw it away, allowing Shuey to score.
Nicole Gremillion hit a three-run home run off starter Megan Mattera to give Northern Illinois a 3-1 lead in the top of the third. Paige Myers came into the game in relief and held the Huskies scoreless for the next three innings.
In the bottom of the sixth, Kayla Ledbetter reached on an error by the shortstop. After a strikeout, McChesney singled to center field, moving Ledbetter up to second base. With two outs, Bree Lipscomb hit an infield single to shortstop, loading the bases. Shanyn McIntyre came up in a pinch-hit role and promptly delivered, singling to left field to score McChesney and Ledbetter and tie the game at three. Shuey followed with a single up the middle to score Lipscomb and put the 'Hawks in front, 4-3.
In the top of the seventh, Ashley Kopp hit a solo home run off of Myers to tie the score at four and send the game into extra innings. The Huskies led off the top of the eighth with a single followed by a double, putting runners at second and third with no one out. Myers refocused and recorded a lineout, a strikeout and a groundout to keep NIU off the board. That set the stage for the bottom of the inning, when McChesney sent the fans home happy with her first home run of the season.
McChesney finished the game 3-for-4 with one RBI and two runs scored. Shuey was 3-for-4 with one RBI and one run scored. Myers earned the victory, giving up one run on five hits in 5.1 innings. She struck out seven.
Miami returns to action on Tuesday when it hosts Morehead State for a doubleheader that begins at 3 p.m. Both games can be seen live on Miami All-Access.

Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
Vasquez's problem is that he dribbles entirely too much.
We are up. but there are a couple of things that need to happen for us to win this game:
Anderson has to start making the open 3s
Aminu has to stop shooting form the perimeter and run the floor.
Vasquez has got to start making the easy shots that he has been missing
Rivers brought a certain level of energy, indeed. No Davis also? Lost that subtle edge you get when playing with someone with elite talent to boot.
But we played like this all last season. It's not going to be a problem.
Am I the only one that was crackin up at the ESPN commercial with AD & Hugo? LMAO that was pretty funny...

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To determine the proportion of your blood that is made up of red blood cells (RBCs), thus to screen for, help diagnose, or monitor conditions that affect RBCs; as part of a routine health examination or if your doctor suspects that you have anemia or polycythemia
When to Get Tested?
With a test for hemoglobin or as part of a complete blood count (CBC) during a routine health exam or when your doctor suspects you have a condition such as anemia (low hematocrit) or polycythemia (high hematocrit); at regular intervals to monitor a disorder that affects RBCs and to evaluate treatment effectiveness
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm or by a fingerstick (children and adults) or heelstick (newborns)
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Blood consists of a few types of cells, including red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets, suspended in a fluid portion called plasma. A hematocrit is a test that measures the proportion of a person's blood that is made up of RBCs. It is a ratio of the volume of red blood cells to the volume of whole blood. The value is expressed as a percentage or fraction. For example, a hematocrit value of 40% means that there are 40 milliliters of red blood cells in 100 milliliters of blood.
The hematocrit is a fairly quick and simple way of evaluating a person's red blood cells. It is often performed in conjunction with a hemoglobin level and is also one component of the complete blood count (CBC), a test that is often used in the general evaluation of a person's health.
RBCs are produced in the bone marrow and are released into the bloodstream after they mature. They typically make up roughly 37% to 49% of the volume of blood. RBCs contain hemoglobin, a protein that binds to oxygen. The primary function of RBCs is to carry oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and organs of the body. They also transport a small portion of carbon dioxide, a byproduct of cell metabolism from tissues and organs back to the lungs, where it is expelled. The bone marrow must continually produce new RBCs to replace those that age and degrade or are lost through bleeding. The typical lifespan of an RBC is 120 days. There are a number of conditions that can affect either the production of new RBCs or the lifespan of those in circulation or that result in significant bleeding.
The hematocrit reflects both the number of red cells and their volume (mean corpuscular volume or MCV). If the size of the red cells decreases, so will the hematocrit and vice versa. In general, the hematocrit will rise when the number of red blood cells increases and the hematocrit will fall to less than normal when there is a drop in production of RBCs by the bone marrow, an increase in the destruction of RBCs, or if blood is lost due to bleeding. A drop in the RBC count, hemoglobin and hematocrit can result in anemia, a condition in which the body does not have the capacity to deliver enough oxygen to tissues and organs, causing fatigue and weakness. If too many RBCs are produced (resulting in increased hematocrit), then the blood can become thickened, causing sluggish blood flow and related problems.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A sample is obtained by drawing blood through a needle placed in a vein in the arm or by a fingerstick (for children and adults) or a heelstick (for newborns).
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

The Revelation is now smoother and even more responsive. Motion Control adds Dual Flow compression and rebound damping. Separate circuits for low and high speed compression, as well as beginning and end stroke rebound. This results in suspension that floats over both stutter bumps and root webs while maintaining big hit performance. Lastly, the new RCT3 is a three position lockout.

Had severe joint pain in both wrist with swelling, pain was so bad I couldn't move my fingers. Within 4 hours after taking Naproxen (500mg) I was able to move my fingers and wrist, after a second dose, about 10 hours later, the pain continued to subside and was felling better in a day.
I never have been so sick in my life after taking one pills. Stomach pains, heart burn, nausea, body aches. I thought I was going to die. Be careful of this drug! Naproxen 500mg tab
I would only recommend this for nerve pain, its useless for period pain and back pain.
My menstrual cramps were always accompanied by severe lower back pain and could be quite debilitating before I discovered Aleve/naproxen; from then on, I've always used naproxen for about one week out of every month. If you follow the dosing instructions, there shouldn't be a problem. It usually says to not exceed 3 tablets in a 24 hour period. That means every 12 hours you alternate between 2 tablets and 1 tablet, or you could take 1 tablet every 8 hours. I usually use the former configuration, and it works way better for me than acetaminophen. I usually buy the largest quantity bottle I can find, and since I only use it 12 weeks out of the year, that averages about $24 a year give or take a few bucks.
I had pelvic surgery and the oxycodone would only deal with the pain for about 4 hours, and the instructions were to take every 6 hours. I tried advil but gave no relief. The nurse suggested to try this. Did not help with the pain but within 24 hours my ENTIRE body ITCHED!!! 7 days later I still itch, now I have to take antihistimeans and steroids to try and stop itching.
I was prescribed this treatment when I visited my GP and he diagnosed a condition called plantar fasciitis which I suffered from last year. I finished my course of this drug but still had the pain. I found some more of this tablet from my previous prescription and started taking them again. I am still in pain even whilst taking them and have got permanent heartburn/indigestion but cannot take indigestion remedies with them as they are not allowed at the same time. I can no longer go running as the day after I am in immense pain and it hurts to walk on my foot.
Im 29 years old, male, had an excrutiating dental pain, was prescribed this medicine, and the pain NEVER went away. I felt like the PAIN was killing me, had me crying of PAIN! I took 2 pills thinking it could work faster, but NO, NO pain relief! Went to the ER, HAD TO WALK OUT BECAUSE they were no dentists to help me at the time. After hours of this PAIN, the pain started to subside, but the tingling and numbness in my body started..... a funny strange feeling all over.....PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION, I was not informed that this medication was time release, or the side effects of this pill. Its a damn shame that patients have to do research on meds before taking them, unfortunately there is no money back! I flushed the pills after reading the interactions...
I was prescribed this yesterday started treatment today with it. I feel no difference in pain level. I have a torn meniscus and torn ligaments in my right knee as well as bone fragments floating around in there. I took just one pill and my whole system is messed up from it. It is interfering with other medications that I take for Migraines and Asthmatic Medications. I would not recommend this medication to anyone at all. If it worked it would be different but it don't work at all. And difinately don't take it if you are on crutches and have it give you the shits cause you would never get to the restroom on time. I hate having any medication give me the roaring shits.
i can not sleep when thy give me any of theses pills uless the give me the 500mg that is light red oblong shaped with teva on front andI 49 on back it works just fine i tell them each time i fill this but they keep giving me the other type which if i take just one i am not able to sleep at all even when i take sleeping pills why can;t they get it right becaus when they charge ins. and the we get it they wont take it back or give me the right pills becaus they already chared the ins. what can i do to get this fix wit them
Very efective with osteoarthritis pain and trochanter hip bursitis pain, but caused ringing in my ears. I took over the counter generic naproxen sodium two 220 mg pills twice daily. Reasonably priced.

The All Blacks produced their best performance since the Soweto Test win against the Springboks to beat France 30-0 in Christchurch.
The All Blacks had been fortunate to win the first Test 23-13 in Auckland but there was nothing fortuitous about this win.
It was emphatic and it was brilliant.
The All Blacks scored three tries and probably could have had three more, but it was their defence and tactical kicking game that was ruthless in difficult underfoot conditions.
Halfbacks Aaron Smith and Aaron Cruden played the percentages to perfection in a first half in which the All Blacks enjoyed 75 percent field position.
Fullback Israel Dagg also enjoyed his best international match for a year.
Kieran Read, in his 50th Test, was massive but to single out an individual would be unfair on the team, who all produced an outstanding effort.
The All Blacks victory clinched the three-Test series with one Test to go and the win was also their 41st in 53 Tests against France.
Read's personal celebration was mirrored with the team celebration in the All Blacks' 500th Test match.
The All Blacks led 10-0 at half time but were dominant throughout in every facet of play.
It was a brilliant performance.
All Blacks – Tries: Julian Savea, Ben Smith, Beauden Barrett. Conversions: Aaron Cruden (3). Penalties: Cruden (3).

One thing you can be sure of when you buy one of our printed organic cotton t-shirts, is that it was screenprinted by hand in our own little printshop, right here in Cardigan.
There's no modern, automated print process here. And we don't just push a button on a machine to print our t-shirts. Mass-production, it ain't.
In fact, it's safe to say, that just about the only thing that is automated in our printshop is the kettle.
Instead, we use an old-fashioned carousel, silk mesh screens and a bit of elbow grease. Tidy Mike prints each and everyone of them by hand, with the same level of skill, craftmanship and respect for the end product that they deserve.
It might be a slow, messy affair... but all that hard work is worth it in the end. It's what gives a howies tee its soul.
Now, someone make Mike a cuppa.

Diablo Edge Hybrids
Product Overview
The new Diablo Edge Hybrids have been specifically designed to provide golfers with a more forgiving, distance enhancing alternative to long irons. And with standard and Tour models, there are Callaway Diablo Edge options for all player types.
- High, Strong Trajectories that Fly Farther, Land Softer: Vertical CG Optimization uses a thinner crown to allow for a lower center of gravity, putting it in-line with where most amateurs strike the ball on the clubface.
- Better Versatility and Playability: A unique sole design on the Diablo Edge hybrids creates efficient impact with the face to maximize distance, consistency and accuracy from a variety of turf conditions.
- Faster Ball Speeds: VFT® Technology creates higher ball speeds across the entire face, meaning hotter distance with more consistency.
- Higher Confidence, Greater Workability: The offset hosel assists in squaring the clubface at impact while providing a look at address that boosts confidence. The Tour models have less offset to enhance workability.

A new planet has been discovered recently by researchers at the University of Central Florida.
The planet, named UCF-1.01, is 33 light-years away in the constellation Leo the Lion. While scientists have been able to confirm that more than 700 exoplanets (planets outside of our solar system) have been found since 1995, many of them have been much larger than Jupiter. This new planet, however, may only be 5,200 miles across – about two thirds the size of Earth.
The planet currently orbits a star called GJ 436, and researchers at UCF have spent the last year watching it to confirm that it was indeed a distant planet. UCF-1.01 is not quite a hospitable planet for humans, as researchers calculate that it whisks around its host star in 1.4 Earth days and at a distance of about 1.6 million miles; Earth is about 93 million miles from our sun. Temperatures more than likely exceed 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit which raises the probability that the surface of UCF-1.01 is molten (covered in lava) and any atmosphere would have been boiled away long ago.
Still, there are many things scientists don't know about UCF-1.01 such as its mass and physical appearance, which are difficult to calculate due to its distance. As it stands, technology is a long ways away from determining the answers to these questions, so it may be "light-years" before we know more about this astonishing discovery.
