New Kind of Electricity Market Strains Old Wires Beyond Limits
By NEELA BANERJEE and DAVID FIRESTONE
Published: August 24, 2003
With the lights back on after the biggest blackout in North American history, consumers have learned a difficult lesson about the electricity grid: it was an afterthought during the decade-long process of deregulating the power industry.
No single authority is in charge of the grid, and few have an incentive to invest the money needed to improve its reliability. Deregulation increased the vulnerability of the grid to failure, regulators and industry executives broadly concur.
Deregulation is actually a misnomer for the restructuring of the power industry, because only the generation of electricity was freed from strict government controls, beginning in 1992. Companies were allowed to charge market-based rates for generating electricity, creating the financial incentive to build more power plants.
But the transmission of electricity over high-voltage lines and the distribution into homes and buildings remained regulated. Power companies received only a relatively low, government-set return on their investment in the grid, so they allocated far less money to improving transmission reliability than to building power plants.
As a result, much more electricity is moving over virtually the same transmission wires, pushing them to carry loads they were not built to handle, according to many regulators and experts.
''Right now we have a highway'' to transmit power, said David Owens, executive vice president of the Edison Electric Institute, an industry lobbying group. ''But we need a superhighway.''
Federal regulators and some industry groups realized long before the blackout that sweeping measures were needed to improve the reliability of power supplies. For the last four years, mandatory reliability standards have been proposed for the grid, along with the creation of independent regional operators to enforce those standards.
These plans, if passed by Congress, would produce greater regulation of the grid than existed in the days of utility monopolies, but politics have stymied their progress. While some plans may win approval in the wake of the blackout, other ideas may be delayed amid confusion and finger-pointing.
''Now is when we really need new rules and new institutions to help manage this market,'' said James J. Hoecker, former chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, the independent body in the Energy Department that oversees the power system. ''But with the swirl of different agendas surrounding this event, it may be more difficult now.''
The transformation of the American electricity industry began because businesses in California and the Northeast, where electricity rates have historically been high, threatened to abandon those regions for places with cheaper power. Federal and state governments, determined to cut rates, remade the industry, dismantling monopolistic utilities and encouraging new companies to compete to supply power.
As deregulation started to take hold, investment in transmission waned. The old utilities understood that they might be compelled to divest themselves of some assets, so they delayed many investments, including transmission upgrades.
''The transmission network needed for a wholesale market should be much larger,'' said Frank A. Wolak, an economics professor at Stanford University and chairman of the market monitoring committee at the California Independent System Operator, which runs the state's transmission grid. ''The utilities said, 'If we don't know what kind of returns we'll be getting or whether we get to keep our assets, then don't build it.' So leading up to restructuring, they didn't build transmission.''
Nick Winser, group director of transmission for National Grid Transco, which owns and runs the grid in England and Wales, said the United States needed to invest $60 billion to $100 billion to make its grid big enough and robust enough. But he estimated that the United States had spent $800 million a year over the last decade.
About 70 percent of an electricity bill covers power generation; transmission costs make up 10 to 15 percent, and the rest goes for distribution.
Restructuring led to a glut of power plants, and electricity rates have fallen in many areas. But few regulators or electric generation companies considered how best to connect the power plants to customers.
Industry analysts say that Mississippi provides an example of the folly that sometimes characterized restructuring. Merchant generation companies, which build power plants, rushed there in the late 1990's, drawn by financial incentives. Their plan was to pump electricity into growing markets in Florida and Georgia, the analysts said.
By the end of the year, Mississippi will have about 30,000 megawatts of excess capacity, industry experts said, but there is no way to transmit that electricity to the intended markets because no one wants to build the transmission lines.
''This is the best example in the country of sending the wrong price signals and locating in the wrong area,'' said an industry executive. ''But that's the way deregulation is. It creates confusion and chaos for some time.''

Bin Bush by autumn-hazeWatch
©2005-2016 autumn-haze
This piece isn't all that clear, but it was for a project about rainforest destruction, global warming, etc, and this piece is about Bush refusing to sign the Kyoto treaty and curb America's emissions. Quite like the idea I had with the logo....
Haha, nice!
cool idea!
Everyone knows the plaque on the presidents desk that reads 'THE BUCK STOPS HERE' in the Oval Office. It means no matter what happens, everyone will blame the man incharge. The war was in no way neccisary, the illegal children born in America still deserve the same care legal children get, and he caused a few other problems, but not everything is always the president's fault. I think Bush has been blamed for more then he did. He didn't cause or help Global Warming. It was the conglomorates and plants that disposed of filth and wastes without care and send their gases, fumes and exausts into the sky without another glance. True, Bush didn't help stop it, but he did also didn't help cause it.
Love It
its awesome!! and also true!!!
LOVE IT! and it's so true!!
the concept of this is so... oh the word for it would have to be "inspired" i love this it's perfect, and a very good plan, in my opinion. good work!
you should have made bush's head go on fire in the second part haha... (but you didn't get that idea from me!!!)
hahaha awesome
That is really funny but amazingly good at the same time!
This is incredible!
Great idea! It exlains all...
This is amazin'!!! Awesome job!!!
This is great!!
this is brilliant!
nice work!
cool. i couln't agree more with you. (i'm studieng environmental sciences) and i love the idea of the picture
Couldn't bloody well agree more
So realist !
Bush is just a killer ...
Bush is just a killer ...
YES! EXACTLY!!! wonderful

This is definitely an interesting piece. However, the heavy shadows on the figure don't fit with the relatively low contrast on the photo- if you could add some shadow to the original, it'd be much more convincing.
Nice work!

These are just like Amaretto truffles, only not as fattening (a good excuse to eat more!) The Amaretto is nice and strong when you first make them, but I'm sure it will mellow over time. I made my amaretti from scratch, which means I've got enough left over for a few more recipes of Yum Yums. Excellent! :)

Compared to inductors and capacitors, resistors are the most often used discrete electronic component. Sure, every physical component has a combination of of all three components in the form of parasitics. These companies are the major suppliers of all forms of resistors, from the smallest 0201 surface mount chip format to the monster wire-wound resistors used in high power applications. They make axial lead, radial lead, wire-wound, carbon, fixed, variable (potentiometers), resistor arrays, low voltage, high voltage, low power, high power, and any other variation resistors.

My car
The exterior of the 350Z looks good, but has lost some of the visual impact of the original Z Concept car as it has made the transition to production. The interior of the 350Z is very driver focused with the deep body hugging sports seats providing excellent support. The dashboard is dominated by a large rev counter which adjusts with the steering wheel.
The lack of rear seats does impact the practicality of this coupe, but no where near as much as the suspension brace between the two rear shock absorber mounting points. This brace divides the boot in two and means that it is now impossible to get a suitcase into the boot.
Starting the engine and pressing the accelerator for the first time leaves you in no doubt that this car means business. The V6 engine produces a powerful growl from its twin exhaust pipes. Looking at the performance figures the 350Z is a very quick car. However from the driving seat the performance fails to live up to my expectations. This may be due to the power delivery characteristics of the engine. The steering is weighty and precise with lots of fell. The brakes are powerful with a firm peddle. The gearbox was has a short throw and is easy to use in combination with the reasonably light clutch. The car feels heavy and solid yet there is little body roll and the car rides uneven road surfaces well.

The Who recently had to cancel the rest of their tour dates due to Roger Daltrey's meningitis, but now they've announced the rescheduled dates for 2016.
The new dates for the NYC-area shows are March 3 at Madison Square Garden and March 19 at Prudential Center. Tickets for both are on sale now and if you already bought tickets for the previous date, those work too. If you can't make the new date, refunds are available.
Joan Jett was supposed to open initially, but there doesn't appear to be an opener billed at the moment. Updated dates are listed below...

The Who have been celebrating their 50th anniversary on tour this year, and sadly they've had to postpone all remaining dates, as Roger Daltrey was just diagnosed with meningitis. The band writes:
THE WHO today confirmed that they are postponing all remaining dates on their "THE WHO HITS 50!" North American tour. They had initially postponed FOUR shows on doctors orders after Roger Daltrey contracted a mystery virus. Initially it was hoped that the rest of the tour might proceed, but after extensive tests the seriousness of his condition became apparent when doctors diagnosed Roger as having viral Meningitis and prescribed a period of rest. The band apologize to fans and realize that the postponement will cause an inconvenience for ticketholders. It wasn't a decision taken lightly-THE WHO always give their fans 100% and were never going to compromise the show, but ultimately the band had no alternative but to postpone the tour.Get well soon Roger! The affected dates include NYC-area shows on 10/25 at Prudential Center and 10/26 at MSG. The band promises, "Tickets for the original dates will be honored for the new shows, which will be announced shortly." All affected dates are listed below.
Roger was particularly disappointed as he had been especially looking forward to the Teen Cancer America benefit in Los Angeles, a charity that he and THE WHO have worked tirelessly for. Thankfully he is already getting better and said, "We are very sorry to disappoint our fans in this way. For the last four weeks, I have been in and out of the hospital and have been diagnosed with viral Meningitis. I am now on the mend and feeling a lot better but I am going to need a considerable time to recover. The doctors tell me I will make a complete recovery, but that I should not do any touring this year."
Pete Townshend added, "We are rescheduling all the shows for next Spring 2016. We apologize to all our fans who have supported us in the last 50 years. Once Roger is completely well we will come back stronger than ever and Roger and I will give you all a show to remember."

The Who at Forest Hills Stadium - 5/30/15 (photo via BrooklynVegan Instagram)
The Who wrapped up the current leg of their 50th anniversary tour last night (5/30) in Queens at Forest Hills Stadium, the same place they played in 1971 before the venue stopped hosting concerts for decades (it stopped in the late '80s and began doing so again in 2013). It was their second NYC show on the tour after Barclays Center last Tuesday (5/26) and third in the area after hitting Long Island's Nassau Coliseum the week prior. They played an excellent set, but before that happened was another excellent set from their tourmates Joan Jett & the Blackhearts.
Joan Jett is a pretty great opener for The Who. Like that band, she's important, influential and still sounds relevant today, but her brand of punk/hard rock surely owes a thing or two to early Who. And she had no trouble getting their crowd going. Even if you've never actively sought out her music, just about anyone who's listened to classic rock radio can sing along to "I Hate Myself for Loving You" and her version of "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" (which, in a stadium full of Who fans, is pretty much everyone). At the same time, we got "Cherry Bomb" and "You Drive Me Wild" off The Runaways' 1976 debut album. Maybe those had a little less of the crowd singing, but they're classics of the early punk era and Joan still delivers them with the energy they demand.
After Joan's 11-song set, The Who took things back all the way to 1965, kicking off their set with "I Can't Explain." (It was almost the same setlist as Barclays Center -- we didn't get "A Quick One.") Like Joan, or maybe more accurately like fellow early seventy-something Paul McCartney, Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey just show absolutely no sign of slowing down. Roger mentioned on stage that they might not be able to do this for much longer, but it's hard to believe him. I wasn't around to see them in the '60s/'70s, but Roger Daltrey's still prancing around and swinging his mic and Pete Townshend's still windmilling that guitar just like all the old live footage. He tends to end the show with his guitar in one piece these days though. Not every band can successfully rock a stadium, especially one with 50 years behind them and only half of their classic lineup, but The Who can and they do it in a way that's genuinely enjoyable.
The Who in Austin in April (more photos by Tim Griffin)
Like they have been for about 20 years, Daltrey and Townshend are joined by Ringo Starr's son Zak Starkey on drums, and they've also got Pete's younger brother Simon on guitar, Pino Palladino on bass, and three keyboardists. Tributes to Keith Moon and John Entwistle were shown on the stage's screen between sets, and they also had multiple montages with photos of the classic four-piece playing during certain songs. The spotlight was of course always on Pete and Roger, but it's also pretty fun to watch Zak Starkey do his thing. He's no Keith Moon, but some say he's better than Ringo.
The setlist was also almost flawless. It seemed a little unnecessary to include the dated '80s pop of "Eminence Front" with so many classics from the '60s and early '70s that could've been played, but other than that it was hit after hit. "The Kids Are Alright," "I Can See For Miles," "My Generation," "Bargain," "Love, Reign O'er Me," "Pinball Wizard," "See Me, Feel Me," the list goes on. For myself and so many other rock fans, these are foundational songs that are embedded in you for as long as you can remember. But aside from being rock history, they're also just great songs and it's pretty amazing that we still get to see them passionately performed by two of the guys who created them.
The Who and Joan Jett's tour picks back up again in late summer/early fall, and returns to the NYC-area on 10/25 at Prudential Center and 10/27 at MSG (tickets). We didn't get pictures of the Forest Hills show, but you can check out our pictures from the Austin show if you haven't already.
Zak Starkey also plays NYC two more times this week with his band Sshh. They open for reunited shoegazers Ride (whose lineup includes Zak's former Oasis bandmate Andy Bell) when that band's tour hits Music Hall of Williamsburg on Monday (6/1) (sold out), and they headline Santos Party House on Tuesday (6/2) (tickets).

We just posted Q Magazine's Best of 2014 albums list and now here's the same from sister publication MOJO. Not only do they share a publisher, but also more than half of same albums appear on both lists. The War on Drugs was #2 here, making war for Beck's Morning Phase in the top spot. Check out the whole list below.
While MOJO is seen as a safe haven for "heritage" acts, there are some records in their Top 10 that don't prominently feature acoustic guitars: coming in at #3 is Sleaford Mods' Divide and Exit. You can catch the Mods' North American live debut this Saturday (11/29) at The Wick with The Gotobeds, The Rogers Sisters and "very special guests" who will be announced closer to the show. Tickets are still available.

The Who are out performing their classic 1973 rock opera Quadrophenia on a tour that came to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn last night (11/14), the first of five NYC-area dates that stretch into the new year (actually six if you count the just-announced Sandy benefit). Tickets are still on sale for those other shows, and pictures and the setlist from the Brooklyn show are in this post. .
Someone at the Greensboro show wrote:
"Concluding Quadrophenia with a stellar "Love Reign O'er Me," the encore was a string of greatest hits which ignited the crowd. "Baba O' Reilly" had the whole coliseum on it's feet reliving teenage wasteland days. Next, Townsend's guitar laid out the opening notes to "Pinball Wizard" and Daltrey seized the vocals. Daltrey was excellent on the classic "Behind Blue Eyes" while manhandling an acoustic guitar. "Who Are You" rocked the place once more before bringing the house down with "Won't Get Fooled Again." As scenes from 9/11 flashed on the video screens the power and emotion of the music could not have been clearer." [CL]Full NYC setlist and more pictures, opener Vintage Trouble included, below...

The Who schedule 'Quadrophenia' tour including 4 NYC-area shows; 'Quadrophenia' film getting Criterion edition in August
by Fred Pessaro // BBG
One of the most powerful elements of The Who was the collision of four distinct forces of nature into a single band: Keith Moon's insane drum fills, Entwistle's spiderlike fingers on the bass, Townsend's amazing melodicism and guitar windmills, and Daltrey's uncanny abilities as a frontman. Half of those members have moved to another plane, but we can still look forward to seeing Roger Daltrey and Pete Townsend trot out all of their classic mods-vs-rockers 1973 album, Quadrophenia, as part of a round of US dates that starts in late 2012 and extends into the new year for the LP's 40th anniversary.
The tour includes four NYC area shows: 11/14 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, 12/5 at Madison Square Garden, 12/6 at Prudential Center in Newark, and 2/21 at Nassau Coliseum on Long Island. Tickets for all shows go on fan presale on Friday (7/20) at 10AM, AMEX presale on Monday (7/23) at noon and regular sale on 7/27 at 10AM. All tour dates are below.
You may remember that Roger Daltrey toured all by his lonesome, performing Tommy in its entirety last year.
In perhaps more exciting news, the 1979 film adapation of Quadrophenia is getting a deluxe DVD/Blu-Ray edition from the celuloid-loving folks at Criterion who will release it on August 28. It features a newly-restored digital transfer of the uncut version, plus a new 5.1 surround mix (as well as the original stereo mix) plus a host of other cool bonus stuff which is listed below. The Rhino DVD from 2001 has been out of print for ages. If you've never seen Quadrophenia (and you should, it's great) and don't want to wait for the pristine Criterion edition, you can stream the whole movie below via YouTube, as well as listen to the album.

As the debate continues locally and nationally on what can be done to reduce gun violence in the United States, it is important to accept incontrovertible facts as a starting point. Unfortunately, Rod Kerr's letter in last Friday's Mountain Democrat republished a false story that the shooter at the Sandy Hook school mass murder did not use a Bushmaster .223 caliber semi-automatic rifle to kill 20 children and five teachers. The Bushmaster knock-off of a military assault rifle was in fact used for this mass murder, but those opposed to an assault weapons ban have consistently attempted to falsify this for their own purposes.
What apparently happened is that a news reporter saw a long weapon being removed from the killer's vehicle after the killing and mistakenly assumed it was a rifle. In fact, it was a shotgun. The Bushmaster semi-automatic rifle and two pistols were found within the school. The semi-automatic rifle with its 30-round magazine was used for the murders and one of the pistols for the killer's suicide. If anyone doubts this, I suggest a visit to the Connecticut Police Website where Lieutenant Paul Vance has repeatedly laid out the facts in an effort to silence "the conspiracy theorists that are trying to muck-up the waters." The "propaganda" here is by Mr. Kerr and others who oppose measures intended to prevent tragedies such as this, not Janet Robinson, the school superintendent who told the truth that some apparently don't want to hear.

wow~ its wonderful
i always found wind farms kinda beutiful in there owen way great peice
This is beautiful! My eye traced along the ridge line until the windmills started flying and I was like "whoa!"
I love the surreal atmosphere!!
Thats a really nice composition u got there. I agree with what people are saying that it's very dreamlike. The figure adds more to the composition than it might seem. Good stuff!
It's really interesting how the turbines start to blow away, like a dandelion.
lovely! wish I could actually dream something like this. I always love how you set in color moods in your work like the hollow men!
this one gives me a more light-hearted feeling <3
so nice you're trying out lineless too and dry media
this one gives me a more light-hearted feeling <3

Thanks for saying so! I don't often dream things like this, either, to be honest...maybe things that feel like this? I love dreams, though.
I also really like your work! watching now
I also really like your work! watching now
you're welcome! haha yeah that how the feeling of the dream tends to linger more than what you actually dreamed of
and oh wow I'm super honored *_* thanks so much! <3
and oh wow I'm super honored *_* thanks so much! <3
these are really beautiful. you should record yourself making one of these, i'd love to see how you do them
oh? that could be neat- maybe I'll do one of those livestreamy thingies...
This is absolutely wonderful! Oh please continue making works like these, too! It's as though you just looked into my dreams!
^_^ that's cool to hear- I will certainly try
This is very lovely!
Wonderful work, I love that you keep the tones such soft pastel nuances while at the same time creating both depth to the scene and a surreal dreaminess. I hope you will continue with this little experiment in simplicity!
Lovely. (:
Nice! Yay simplicity
really wonderful looking concept! Very peaceful, and dreamlike
beautiful, so soft looking!
haha- it's funny, every time I think I'm being very hard and graphic, someone always comments on how soft it is! I'm kind of glad it comes across that way
Onda bi ti se svidjela Belgija, Nizozemska, dio Njemačke i Austrije. Čitav dio povratka nazad prema Budimpešti vjerno su nas pratila polja tih vjetrenjača. Neke su bile stvarno ĐINOVSKE! Lajkam gdje ideš s ovim stilom.
I've actually lived in Holland, Austria and traveled to Belgium a lot- so those places kind of inspired me. Thanks!
Što Nicholas Kole zna hrvatski? Slažem se s komentarom, put prema Budimpešti ima carske primjerke vjetrenjača.
Haha- no, I'm using google-translate. Do I have a set of Croatian fans?? cool! I visited Croatia once, it was lovely! We went to Pula
I love it great use of color and it really has a cool sense of place. I'd like to see it in real life
This is such a cool and whimsical piece! I love the use of the person for size comparison, the way the eye can't help but trail left to right to left then back again, and the time it takes to do so tells a story. It's such a fun piece, it IS like music! You say you wanted to make art like music, so if I may ask, is there something specifically that inspired this?

Australia-Germany Advisory Group Report Release
The Australia-Germany Advisory Group, established in 2014 to examine ways to build even closer ties between the two countries, presented its report to Prime Minister Turnbull and Chancellor Merkel in Berlin on 13 November 2015. It contains 59 recommendations across five themes, providing a blueprint to take the already strong bilateral partnership to a new level.
The presentation was followed by a joint press conference by the Prime Minister and the Chancellor (pictures showing the Prime Minister welcomed by the Chancellor; the presentation of the Advisory Group Report by the co-chairs, Finance Minister Cormann and State Minister Professor Böhmer, and members Ms Turnbull and Mr Klein; and the Prime Minister and the Chancellor addressing the media).
New bilateral tax treaty signed
Australia and Germany on 12 November signed a new 21st century tax treaty, which will reduce tax impediments to increase bilateral trade and investment and improve the integrity of the tax system (picture showing Australian Finance Minister Mathias Cormann with his German counterpart Wolfgang Schäuble, with State Minister Professor Maria Böhmer looking on // photo: Jörg Rüger / BMF).
Australia has a warm and significant bilateral relationship with Germany. We have wide-ranging dialogue and cooperation with Germany, which ranks among Australia\'s leading trading partners. We have a strong and expanding investment relationship. Germany is a major source of foreign direct investment in Australia and one of Australia\'s largest investment destinations.

Overtraining can be described as a point where a person may have a decrease in performance and plateauing as a result from failure to consistently perform at a certain level or training load exceeds their recovery capacity.[1] They cease making progress, and can even begin to lose strength and fitness. Overtraining is also known as chronic fatigue, burnout and overstress in athletes.[2][3] It is suggested that there are different variations of overtraining, firstly monotonous program over training suggest that repetition of the same movement such as certain weight lifting and baseball batting can cause performance plateau due to an adaption of the central nervous system which results from a lack of stimulation.[1] A second example of overtraining is described as chronic overwork type training where the subject may be training with too high intensity or high volume and not allowing sufficient recovery time for the body.[1] It is important to note the difference between overtraining and over-reaching; over-reaching is when an athlete is undergoing hard training but with adequate recovery, overtraining however, is when an athlete is undergoing hard training without the adequate recovery. Up to 10% of elite endurance athletes and 10% of American college swimmers are affected by overtraining syndrome (unexplained underperformance for approximately 2 weeks even after having adequate resting time).[4] Many professionals within the fitness community stress that many athletes who feel the symptoms of overtraining, are not actually overtraining.[5]
Overtraining can lead to exercise addiction which can lead to negative physiological and psychological effects,[6] an addictive craving for physical activity is shown to lead to extreme exercise whilst building up a tolerance to the exercise then needing to go further levels to achieve the same high.[7] Like pharmacological drugs, physical exercise may be chemically addictive. Addiction can be defined as, the frequent engaging in the behavior to a greater extent or for a longer time period than intended.[8][9] It is theorized is that this addiction is due to natural endorphins and dopamine generated and regulated by the exercise.[10] Whether strictly due to this chemical by-product or not, some people can be said to become addicted to or fixated on psychological/physical effects of physical exercise and fitness.[11] This may lead to overexercise, resulting in the "overtraining" syndrome.[12]
A number of possible mechanisms for overtraining have been proposed:[citation needed]
- Microtrauma to the muscles are created faster than the body can heal them.[13]
- Amino acids are used up faster than they are supplied in the diet. This is sometimes called "protein deficiency".[14]
- The body becomes calorie-deficient and the rate of break down of muscle tissue increases.
- Levels of cortisol (the "stress" hormone) are elevated for long periods of time.
- The body spends more time in a catabolic state than an anabolic state (perhaps as a result of elevated cortisol levels).
- Excessive strain to the nervous system during training.
- Systemic Inflammation which results in the release of cytokines activating an immune response[15]
Other symptoms[edit]
Overtraining may be accompanied by one or more concomitant symptoms:[16][17][18]
- Persistent muscle soreness[19]
- Persistent fatigue,[20] this is different from just being tired from a hard training session, this occurs when fatigue continues even after adequate rest.[4]
- Elevated resting heart rate, a persistently high heart rate after adequate rest such as in the morning after sleep, this can be an indicator of overtraining.[4]
- Reduced heart rate variability
- Increased susceptibility to infections
- Increased incidence of injuries
- Irritability
- Depression
- Mental breakdown
- Burnout[21][22]
Laboratory rats and mice have been used as animal models for studies of overtraining.[23] Results in studies with rats show that overtraining can cause negative changes in the immune system which is suggested to arise from the physiological stress on the body.[24] A study conducted at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee on overtraining and cycling also showed signs of physiological danger in the participants such as increased resting heart rate, decreased maximum heart rate and a decline in the body's ability to deliver oxygen to its muscles.[25] Listed below are some of the common effects and cited signs of overtraining. Not all of the following effects will occur. The presence of any of these symptoms does not imply that an individual is overtrained.[16][17][18][26][27]
- Lymphocytopenia[28]
- Excessive weight loss
- Excessive loss of body fat
- Increased resting heart rate
- Decreased muscular strength
- Increased submaximal heart rate
- Inability to complete workouts
- Chronic muscle soreness
- Fatigue [1]
- Increased incidence of injury
- Depressed immune system
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Absence of menstruation
- Frequent minor infections/colds
- Insomnia
- Heart Palpitations
- Lower Testosterone Levels
- Higher Cortisol Levels
- Depression
- Loss of appetite
- Mood Disturbance[29]
- Irritability
- Loss of motivation
- Loss of enthusiasm
- Loss of competitive drive
- insomnia[30][31]
- difficulty concentrating[30][31]
- Early onset of fatigue
- Decreased aerobic capacity
- Poor physical performance
- Inability to complete workouts
- Delayed recovery
It is also important to remember that the effect of overtraining is not isolated only to affecting the athlete's athletic ability but it can have implications on other areas of life such as performance in studies or the work force. An overtrained athlete who is suffering from physical and or psychological symptoms could also have trouble socialising with friends and family, studying for an exam or prepping for work.[32]
Allowing more time for the body to recover:
- Taking a break from training to allow time for recovery.[33]
- Reducing the volume and/or the intensity of the training.
- Suitable periodization of training.[34]
- Splitting the training program so that different sets of muscles are worked on different days.[33]
- Increase sleep time.
- Deep-tissue or sports massage of the affected muscles.[35]
- Self-massage or rub down of the affected muscles.[36]
- Cryotherapy and thermotherapy.
- Temperature contrast therapy (contrast showers etc.). The different hot and cold stimuli can stimulate the immune system, influence release of stress hormones and encourage blood flow which ultimately lessens the bodies pain sensitivity.[37]
- Short sprints with long resting time once the athlete is able to continue with light training[4]
Changing diet:
- Ensuring that calorie intake at least matches expenditure.[33]
- Ensuring total calories are from a suitable macronutrient ratio.[38]
- Addressing vitamin deficiencies with nutritional supplements.[33][38]
Preventative Methods[edit]
Seeing as there are many non beneficial results of overtraining and the main treatment is taking time out to rest, so to avoid taking time off training prevention is very important for many athletes.[1] An additional method preferred by many collegiate and professional level athletes is the incorporation of active recovery into training. The gradual varying of intensity and volume of training is an effective way to prevent overtraining.[39] The athlete should be closely monitored by keeping records of weight, diet and heart rate and the training program should be adjusted in accordance to different physical and emotional stresses.[1]

U.S. Open Rounds 1-2: Who to follow at Merion
ARDMORE, Pa. -- The first group will go off the first tee of the 113th U.S. Open at 6:45 Thursday morning.
In the event you get out to Merion early, or that the Golf Gods cut the course a break this week with the weather -- unlikely -- here's a list of notable pairings you should make a point to follow on Thursday and Friday. (The complete list of groupings and tee times can be found here.)
Bubba Watson, Dustin Johnson, Nicholas Colsaerts
Thursday: 11th tee, 7 a.m. / Friday: 1st tee, 12:30 p.m.
These three kick off a listing of seven straight tee times you don't want to miss Thursday morning and Friday afternoon. If you're looking to camp on a hole, watch five groups play through, and then hop out ahead of them to watch them play through again, these are the groups to do it with.
As for these three in particular, they're three of the longest hitters on tour, and although Merion is going to neutralize much of their length, any one of these three could choose to get aggressive if the course gets even softer. If someone ends up driving the 10th green, they'll likely be in this group. Unless they're Phil Mickelson, speaking of which ...
Phil Mickelson, Steve Stricker, Keegan Bradley
Thursday: 11th tee, 7:11 a.m. / Friday: 1st tee, 12:41 p.m.
Mickelson, by the sounds of it, is more or less going to walk off his flight -- back to Philadelphia from San Diego -- and onto the first tee. Phil has made a habit of breaking hearts with his performances in U.S. Opens (see story), but he's got another chance to win his first this week. Mickelson will be paired with Steve Stricker and his former Ryder Cup partner, 2011 PGA Championship winner Keegan Bradley.
Matt Kuchar, Justin Rose, Brandt Snedeker
Thursday: 11th tee, 7:22 a.m. / Friday: 1st tee, 12:52 p.m.
Just like the world's No. 1, 2 and 3 players will tee off together in the afternoon, Nos. 4, 5 and 6 are scheduled to play together. Kuchar has won at the WGC Match Play and at Memorial already this season, Snedeker is another popular pick to win his first major and Justin Rose has already won in the Philadelphia area, at the ATT National at Aronimink in 2010.
Names in the next four groups after this tee time include 2011 British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen, 2011 Masters champion Charl Schwartzel, Sergio Garcia, major champions Stewart Cink and Padraig Harrington, Ian Poulter, Jason Dufner and Ricky Fowler.
Onto the afternoon ...
Luke Donald, Lee Westwood, Martin Kaymer
Thursday: 1st tee, 12:52 p.m. / Friday: 11th tee, 7:22 a.m.
In 60 major-championship starts, Lee Westwood has 15 top-10 finishes, nine top-5 finishes, seven top-3 finishes, five third-place finishes and two runner-ups. He has never won a major. Neither, for that matter, has Luke Donald, the former world No. 1 who is one of the favorites to potentially win this week. Unfortunately for those two, no Englishman has won a U.S. Open since Tony Jacklin in 1970. They'll be paired with 2010 PGA Championship winner Martin Kaymer.
Jim Furyk, Graeme McDowell, Zach Johnson
Thursday: 1st tee, 1:03 p.m. / Friday: 11th tee, 7:33 a.m.
These three are all major champions and two have them have won U.S. Opens. Furyk did it in 2003, McDowell did it in 2010, and Zach Johnson won the Masters in 2007. Both Furyk and McDowell contended at Olympic Club last year -- McDowell finished second and Furyk had an unfortunate breakdown in the 16th fairway on Sunday. Given their skill sets, all three are reasonable picks to contend yet again at Merion.
And finally, the big one ...
Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott
Thursday: 1st tee, 1:14 p.m. / Friday: 11th tee, 7:44 a.m.
Nos. 1, 2 and 3 in the world. No real introduction needed here, but we will get a look at Tiger and his former caddie Steve Williams back together in the same group. Williams was on the bag for 13 of Tiger's 14 majors, but the two had a very public breakup in 2011, when Woods was involved with another, more public breakup. Williams now loops for Adam Scott, this year's Masters champion.
Once those three make their way onto the course, defending champion Webb Simpson will tee off on No. 1 at 1:35 Thursday afternoon and 7:55 Friday morning.
