Top 10 things I've learned using a power meter (an oldie but a goodie)
I just stumbled upon this Lettermanesque top 10 list that I first posted to the web in 1999 (after my 1st season using a PowerTap):
Top 10 things I've learned using a power meter
10) I shouldn't lose weight
9) I need big gears
8) I need small gears
7) Strength is irrelevant
6) Don't start too hard in TTs
5) Train less, rest more
4) Heat acclimatization is critical
3) Specificity
Interestingly, even after all this time I'm not sure I would change anything on the list (except perhaps the "train less, rest more" conclusion, as I don't train or, especially, race as much as I used to).

Estimation of CdA from anthropometric data
The popularity of wind tunnel testing to determine a cyclist's aerodynamic drag characteristics (i.e., their CdA, which is the product of their frontal area, A, and a dimensionless "shape factor", Cd) has grown considerably in recent years. A number of field tests for estimating CdA have also been developed and, in at least some cases, carefully validated/evaluated (e.g., http://www.trainingandracingwithapowermeter.com/2010/10/challenge-to-cycling-aerodynamicists.html). Nonetheless, there are times when a simple, "quick-and-dirty" estimate of someone's CdA is all that is needed/desired. For example, a cyclist or triathlete lacking a powermeter on their bike may still wish to estimate how much power they need to produce to achieve a particular performance, e.g., a certain average speed in a flat TT or triathlon bike leg. A convenient way of obtaining a ballpark estimate of CdA based upon easily-obtained measurements can also be used as a "smell test" to see whether other data (e.g., CdA values presented by others) make sense, and/or to place a given athlete's CdA in better context (i.e., are they more or less aero than typically found?). In such situations, it is possible to estimate A based on various anthropometric data, which can then be combined with an estimate of Cd to arrive at a final value for CdA. While this approach is rather crude, in my experience it works well enough to occasionally still be useful.
As indicated above, the first step is to estimate an individual's projected frontal area when in the aero position on their TT or triathlon bicycle. I am aware of at least five different formulae for making this calculation, as listed below. The first was originally related to me by Sam Callan, Director of Coaching Education for USA Cycling, whereas the other four are from the listed scientific papers. In the case of Heil's equations, STA = seat tube angle, TA = torso angle, and SW = shoulder width (readers of this blog are encouraged to consult the original paper to see precisely how these were defined/determined).
1. Australian Institute of Sport
n = ?; R^2 = ?.??; P = ?.??; S.E.E. = ?.??? m^2
n=8; R^2 = 0.76; P = 0.05; S.E.E. = 0.009 m^2
3. Heil DP. (Eur J Appl Physiol 2001; 85:358-366):
n=21; R^2 = 0.54; P less than 0.001; S.E.E. = 0.017 m^2
n=21; R^2 = 0.56; P less than 0.001; S.E.E. = 0.014 m^2
n=21; R^2 = 0.69; P less than 0.001; S.E.E. = 0.013 m^2
Once a value for frontal area is obtained, this must be multiplied by an appropriate value for Cd. Contrary to the assertions of many, cyclists are not "bluff bodies", i.e., the Cd of a cyclist upon a bicycle (even sitting upright on a mountain bike) is significantly less than that of, say, a flat plate, and perhaps more importantly, can vary as a function of yaw angle. Nonetheless, reasonable estimates of CdA (at 0 deg of yaw) can still usually be obtained by multiplying the above-derived frontal area(s) by 0.707, which is the average value for n=8 cyclists of varying stature and build tested by Dr. Chet Kyle in the Texas A&M wind tunnel (cf. Cycling Science 1991; Sept/Dec: 51-56 - Cd values ranged from 0.652 to 0.793). Alternatively, Cd can be estimated from body mass using an equation derived by Heil based on a meta-analysis of the literature:
So just how precisely can CdA be estimated using the approach described above? This question can be addressed two ways, i.e., via standard propogation-of-error analysis and also by example.
1) Propogation-of-error analysis: The standard errors of the estimate (S.E.E.) provided by each equation for estimating frontal area range range from 0.009 to 0.017 m^2. Frontal area, however, only accounts for ~60% of CdA, i.e., Cd can and does vary between individuals and thus accounts for the other ~40%. The S.E.E. values listed therefore do not tell the whole story, i.e., one must also take into consideration the variability in estimating Cd. Based on the data of Kyle and using standard propogation-of-error methods, the overall imprecision in estimating CdA would be 0.016-0.019 m^2, or plus/minus somewhere between 5 and 10% of a typical value.
2) Some examples: The table below lists anthropometric data along with estimates of A, Cd, and CdA obtained using the equations discussed above for two individuals, both of whom have been tested in the Texas A&M wind tunnel. Due in part to chance alone, the values obtained by using the third equation developed by Heil combined with either method of estimating Cd agree almost exactly with those determined in wind tunnel testing. While this outcome cannot be expected in all cases, the table below does serve to illustrate the range of values the various equations provide, and in fact it is often useful to "bracket" such estimates by calculating all possible outcomes (as shown), rather than relying upon just one single estimate.

Prediction of muscle fiber type from powermeter data, part 4
by Andrew R. Coggan, Ph.D.
In previous blog entries in this series:
I described a method for predicting muscle fiber type distribution from force-velocity (or power-velocity) data collected using an SRM. Unfortunately, as I have mentioned several times before other powermeters appear to be incapable of providing data with sufficient accuracy and/or temporal resolution to enable such calculations. For example, the original PowerTap recorded data only once every 1.26 s, which is generally insufficient for this sort of testing. Furthermore, data from a PowerTap are inherently "noisier" due to aliasing effects - that is, since the calculations are time- instead of event-based, each data point represents the average over a non-integer number of pedal revolutions, leading to values that tend to alternately high and low relative to the true value. Although more recent versions of the PowerTap can now record data at 1 s intervals (i.e., the current ANT+ standard), this aliasing problem still exists.
Unlike Saris's PowerTap, the Quarq CinQo is event-based, i.e., like the SRM it averages data over complete revolutions before broadcasting it as ANT+ messages. Unfortunately, however, the CinQo (or at least the one I had use of) seems prone to grossly overestimating power/grossly underestimating cadence when power and cadence are changing rapidly, e.g., when resuming pedaling after a brief pause. This is evident in Fig. 1 below, which shows the sort of abnormal power "spike" than can occur under such conditions:
Figure 1. Abnormal "spike" in power generated by Quarq CinQo when resuming pedaling after a brief pause.In this particular example, the power is not especially high in absolute terms, but it is impossibly high relative to the cadence at which it was reportedly produced. This is more evident when the data from this file are analyzed using Quadrant Analysis, as shown in Fig. 2 below:
Figure 2. Quadrant analysis of the data file containing the abnormal power "spike" shown in Figure 1.
As shown in this figure, a number of data points were recorded in which the average effective pedal force calculated from the power and cadence exceeded ~1500 N, with a maximum value of ~2500 N. Since the peak force on the pedals is usually about twice the average force, this would imply peak forces of ~3000 to ~5000 N, or approximately 4-7x my body mass. Given that I can only lift ~1x my body mass when performing two-legged squats, such values are clearly artifactual in nature.
When performing force-velocity (or power-velocity) testing, the result of this tendency of the Quarq to overestimate power/underestimate cadence when resuming pedaling is a non-linear AEPF-CPV relationship, as shown in Figure 3 below:
Figure 3. Non-linear AEPF-CPV relationship generated by Quarq CinQo during force-velocity testing.
In theory it might be possible to avoid this issue by sampling the "raw" ANT+ data stream (which is broadcast at 4 Hz) and/or by judicious editing of the collected data. However, without access to additional equipment (in the first case) or more trustworthy data collected using another device (in the second case), such solutions seems to be markedly less-than-ideal.
The above data were recorded using an iBike iAero as the ANT+ receiving device, so it is possible that they reflect limitations in how the data are handled by it rather than limitations in how the data are originally generated by the Quarq. It is difficult to envision, however, how this might be possible and still obtain close agreement between Quarq/iBike and, e.g., PowerTap data under less challenging conditions. Furthermore, I have recently been successful in using a Lemond Fitness Revolution trainer paired with their Power Pilot to generate linear force-velocity data that closely match that provided by an SRM, even though, like the iBike, the Power Pilot uses the ANT+ protocol to record data once per second. This suggests (although certainly does not prove) that the non-linear nature of the Quarq/iBike force-velocity curve reflects the behavior of the former, and not the latter.
Method #2: Estimation of muscle fiber type from fatigability
Given that powermeters other than the SRM appear incapable of generating robust force-velocity cuves, how can somebody who doesn't own one estimate their muscle fiber type? One possibility is to rely on some other fiber type-specific property of muscle, e.g., fatigue resistance.
Compared with fast-twitch (type II) muscle fibers, type I muscle fibers contain more mitochondria, are surrounded by more capillaries, etc., making them better adapted for sustained, aerobic energy production. Conversely, type I fibers have a lower maximal ATPase activity, have lower activities of glycolytic and glycogenolytic enzymes, etc., meaning that they rely tend to rely less upon production of ATP from anaerobic sources, i.e., ATP/PCr breakdown and lactate production. For these and other reasons, type I muscle fibers are more fatigue resistant, even during short-duration, high intensity activities such as a 30 s Wingate-test type effort as shown in Fig. 4:
Figure 4. Relationship between muscle fiber type and fatigue index during a 30 s maximal effort.
The data in the above figure are drawn from a study that I conducted at Ball State University under the direction of Dr. Dave Costill, which eventually came to serve as my master's thesis (1). Compared to the regression relating optimal CPV to fiber type provided in the 2nd article of this series, the correlation between the fatigue index (i.e., the percentage decline in power during the test) and muscle fiber type is not as high. Given, however, that it is based upon a secondary characteristic of muscle fibers (i.e., fatigue resistance vs. contractile properties), this is perhaps not unexpected. The strength of the correlation is also comparable to that reported in the scientific literature in similar experiments. In any case, these data can be used to predict muscle fiber type using the equation below:
% type I area = 139.3 - 1.931 * fatigue index
Final thoughts
In some regards, the formula presented above - and indeed, this entire series of blog entries - can be considered to be "navel gazing" of limited practical value. After all, when racing a bicycle it is the actual power you can produce over relevant durations (along with, e.g., tactics) that determine the outcome of a race, not your muscle fiber type per se. Furthermore, I strongly believe that "if it walks (sprints) like a duck (slow-twitcher) and talks (resists fatigue) like a duck (slow-twitcher), then it is a duck (slow-twitcher)", regardless of what a muscle biopsy might reveal or what formal tests/predictions I have described might suggest. Nonetheless, I do think that being able to "pin a single number on things" may help at least some people understand their own physiology just a little bit better, with this deeper insight hopefully helping them prepare better for/perform better in competition.

Prediction of muscle fiber type from powermeter data, part 3
In this previous blog entry:
I described a way of predicting muscle fiber type distribution based on force-velocity (or power-velocity) data collected using an SRM. Because each individual's situation is different, I had not intended to go into detail regarding how to actually collect such data. My previous post generated more interest than I anticipated, however, so in this post I will attempt to at least provide some general guidelines. Nonetheless, I anticipate that anyone attempting to perform such testing themselves will likely have to go through a bit of trial-and-error to perfect their own approach.
Force-velocity testing using the inertial load method
As described previously, the force-velocity relationship during cycling is essentially linear (such that the power-velocity relationship is parabolic in nature). This has been demonstrated in various studies, either via use of a specially-constructed isokinetic ergometer (1) or by simply having subjects perform multiple, maximal efforts against varying resistances on a standard friction-braked (Monark) ergometer (2). However, the simplest and hence most elegant approach of all is the inertial load method devised by Dr. Jim Martin (3). Dr. Martin's method utilizes a standard Monark ergometer that has been modified such that 1) the only source of resistance is the inertia of the flywheel and 2) the position of the flywheel can be measured with high temporal (i.e., 1 microsecond) resolution (cf. Fig. 1).
Figure 1. Inertial load ergometer developed by Dr. Jim Martin.
With this ergometer, near-instantaneous power can be measured every 3 deg of crank revolution based on the rate of acceleration of the flywheel. Alternatively, power can be averaged over a complete pedal revolution, thus reflecting the combined extension/flexion of both legs. In either case, judicious choice of the inertial load (which depends upon the moment of inertia of the flywheel and the gearing) enables the subject to reach their optimal pedaling rate in just 2 s, and to complete 6.5 revolutions in just 4 s. This makes it possible to determine an individual's force-velocity (or power-velocity) relationship during a single, brief test in which significant fatigue does not occur.
Few readers of this blog are likely to have access to an ergometer like the one developed by Dr. Martin. However, it is possible to obtain similar data using an SRM by 1) recording data at a sufficiently high frequency, and 2) selecting an appropriate resistance. The "how" and "why" of this approach are described below.
Force-velocity testing using an SRM
Sampling frequency
Although a standard SRM system cannot match the very high temporal/spatial resolution of Dr. Martin's ergometer, it is possible to capture the average data for each individual pedal stroke, which is all that is needed to determine the force-velocity relationship. This can be achieved by selecting the highest possible recording frequency/shortest possible time interval (e.g., 10 Hz, or every 0.1 s, when using a PowerControl IV). This will cause the SRM to "stutter", i.e., to repeatedly report the same values for power and cadence for individual pedal strokes, as shown in Table 1 below:
In this particular example, the SRM began recording data upon completion of (presumably) the first crank revolution, which was performed at an average of 444 W/55 rpm. These same values were then repeated until completion of the second crank revolution, which occurred between 1.1 and 1.2 s after the first and was performed at an average of 668 W/88 rpm. The third crank revolution was then completed between 1.7 and 1.8 s at an average of 721 W/105 rpm, etc. In other words, as long as the time required for a single crank revolution is shorter than the sampling interval, the results obtained are actually event-based (i.e., are averages over individual pedal revolutions) rather than time-based. Indeed, even with a newer PowerContol (i.e., version V and above) that can only record data at a maximum of 2 Hz (i.e., every 0.5 s), an individual must be pedaling at >120 rpm before multiple pedal strokes will be averaged together. Consequently, essentially identical results are obtained regardless of whether data are recorded at 10 Hz (every 0.1 s), 5 Hz (every 0.2 s), or 2 Hz (every 0.1 s), as shown in Figure 2 below:
Figure 2. Effect of different sampling frequencies on data obtained during force-velocity testing.
Appropriate resistance
The other key aspect when performing force-velocity testing using an SRM is selection of an appropriate resistance. If the resistance is too low, then the individual will be able to accelerate the cranks too rapidly, and only a few point(s) far to the right/down the force-velocity relationship will be obtained, and/or force will fall off excessivly due to the difficulty in coordinating muscular actions at very high pedaling rates. On the other hand, if the resistance is too great, the subject will not be able to accelerate the cranks rapidly enough, and only a few data points at the upper left end of the line will be obtained before fatigue begins to occur. If the resistance is just right, however, data will be obtained across a broad span of velocities (and hence forces) before fatigue develops.
These points are illustrated in Figure 3 below, which displays data from force-velocity tests performed with different inertial loads. With the high and medium inertial loads, I was not able to accelerate the cranks rapidly enough, and hence "fell off" my force-velocity line after 4 s (denoted by the arrows) at very low and moderate velocities, respectively. Conversely, with a lower inertial load, comparable to that of Dr. Martin's ergometer, data were obtained over a broader range of velocities before fatigue ensued.
Figure 3. Effect of inertial load on data obtained during force-velocity testing.
Note that the regression line was calculated by excluding all data collected after 4 s then pooling the results from all three tests. The SRM was set to record data at 2 Hz.
The data shown above were obtained by mounting my bicycle in a Velodyne trainer and then varying the inertial load provided by the Velodyne's flywheel by simply using different gear ratios. While it would be possible to provide guidelines for appropriate inertial loads to for others to try, the wide variety of conditions under which such testing may be performed as well as uncertainty regarding the exact mass/moment of inertia of particular trainers, rollers, etc., means that this would be much less helpful than it might at first appear. As a general rule, however, individuals attempting such testing using the typical low-inertia magnetic or fluid trainer are likely to find that they need to use moderate-to-large gears to obtain good data. On the other hand, those attempting such testing outdoors will need to use very low gears - lower, in fact, than usually found on a road racing bicycle. In any case, the key point is that the cyclist must be able to accelerate the pedals rapidly, but not too rapidly, something that is readily determined via preliminary tests.
When adhering to the above guidelines, excellent reproducibility can be obtained, with both within-day and between-day coefficient of variations generally being 2% or less as shown in Table 2 below:
In particular, the circumferential pedal velocity at which maximal power is produced (i.e., CPVopt)which is the basis for prediction of muscle fiber type distribution using the data of Hautier et al. (2), is highly reproducible.
Standing vs. sitting
By recruiting additional upper-body musculature, standing out of the saddle increases the maximal power that an individual can produce by roughly 10%. With the exception of experienced BMX riders, however, few cyclists are well-practiced at pedaling both rapidly and powerfully while standing. As well, the need to support 100% of body mass means that fatigue may develop more rapidly. In any case, the usual effect of standing is to increase the Y interecept but also to steepen the slope of the force-velocity relationship, as shown in Figure 4:
Figure 4. Effect of standing on the force-velocity relationship.
As a consequence, the circumferential pedal velocity associated with maximal power output will generally be shifted to a lower value, which will lead to underestimation of the percentage of type II fibers than an individual possess when using the equation presented previously (which is based data collected while seated). This would therefore seemingly preclude use of data from, e.g., standing start efforts performed using typical gears as part of normal training or racing to predict an individual's muscle fiber type.
What about other powermeters?
Unfortunately, as indicated at the outset of this series of blog entries, at least in my hands powermeters other than the SRM do not appear to be able to provide data of sufficient quality to permit accurate (or at least easy) determination of an individual's force-velocity relationship while cycling. I will discuss these issues and provide some examples in the next entry.

LAWRENCE OF ARABIA: The Essentials
Saturday December, 31 2016 at 12:00 PM
Films in BOLD will Air on TCM * | VIEW TCMDb ENTRY
An untested, undisciplined scholar making maps for British Intelligence during World War I discovers the hero within when he goes on a fact-finding mission in the Arabian Desert. What starts as a search for intelligence about the Arab Revolt against the Turks, turns into an exercise in courage, leadership and betrayal. T.E. Lawrence takes control of the revolution, leading the Arabs to victory against England's Turkish enemies, only to discover that his superiors have no intention of leaving the men he's come to regard as brothers in charge of their own homeland. The hero is left shattered, doubting his greatest achievements and living in seclusion until his lifelong need for speed and excitement results in a tragic motorcycle accident.
Director: David Lean
Producer: Sam Spiegel and David Lean for Horizon Pictures
Screenplay: Robert Bolt
Based on Seven Pillars of Wisdom by T.E. Lawrence
Cinematography: Freddie A. Young
Editing: Anne V. Coates
Art Direction: John Stoll and John Box
Music: Maurice Jarre
Cast: Peter O'Toole (T.E. Lawrence), Alec Guinness (Prince Feisal), Anthony Quinn (Auda abu Tayi), Jack Hawkins (General Allenby), Jose Ferrer (Turkish Bey), Anthony Quayle (Colonel Harry Brighton), Claude Rains (Mr. Dryden), Arthur Kennedy (Jackson Bentley), Omar Sharif (Sherif Ali ibn el Kharish).
Why LAWRENCE OF ARABIA is Essential
Lawrence of Arabia was hailed by some critics as the first "thinking-man's epic," a title that has also been applied to the 1959 version of Ben-Hur. Most critics agree it is that rare epic in which every grandiose shot and cinematic flourish serves a purpose in either telling the story or exploring the title character. For many critics, this makes it the most intelligent of all epic films.
In introducing the film for Turner Classic Movies' The Big Picture series, director Martin Scorsese, who helped in the film's restoration, praised director David Lean for filling his biggest scenes with small, telling details. This is nothing new. D.W. Griffith had done the same in his Birth of a Nation (1915), while Sergei Eisenstein had used such details to craft the history-making "Odessa Steps" montage in Battleship Potemkin, but it is one factor that distinguishes the screen's greatest epics.
T.E. Lawrence joins a long line of obsessive dreamer-heroes who have become a staple of director David Lean's work. Other characters in that tradition include Ralph Richardson's crusading scientist in Breaking the Sound Barrier (1952), Katharine Hepburn's romantic schoolteacher in Summertime (1955), Alec Guinness' dedicated prisoner of war in The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) and the title characters in Doctor Zhivago (1965) and Ryan's Daughter (1970).
Lawrence of Arabia marked the birth of a production dream team for David Lean. Writer Robert Bolt would go on to script his Doctor Zhivago, for which he would win an Academy Award, and Ryan's Daughter, which would star Bolt's wife, Sarah Miles. Cinematographer Freddie Young would work on the same three films, winning a second Oscar (the first was for Lawrence of Arabia) for Ryan's Daughter. Composer Maurice Jarre would better them both, working on those two films as well as Lean's final effort, A Passage to India (1984). He would win Oscars for Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago and A Passage to India.

What have you done for us lately…
…or the phrase coined by the former head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, Jerry Glanville, who said and I'm paraphrasing here: the NFL stands for "Not For Long." This clearly describes the patience of the owners and fans of the National Football League.
So, this is week two and it's time to look into, "what have you done for us lately" since you were a free agent or worth trading for?
We'll also see who should be looking for their baseball cap for some time on the bench.
Finally, who is winning the battle of the
What have you done for me lately since you were worth trading for or picking up as a free agent?
Chester Taylor (Running Back, 5-11 215, Minnesota Vikings, acquired as a free agent from the Baltimore Ravens)
Another good week for
So far,
Drew Brees (Quarterback, 6-0 209,
What Brees does best is play within himself. He won't make many bad decisions
and is the perfect guy to spread the ball around to all the weapons available on
offense. Brees has an adequate arm when his shoulder is healthy, won't panic
under pressure and has good escapability. He does what it takes to win which he
has at all levels. It looks to me like he has picked up where he left off in
Fortunately for Drew, he was facing the Packers defense and could get away with a few early mistakes.
Ryan Longwell (Kicker, 6-0 202,
He throws a touchdown pass to put the game into overtime against
In Ryan's real job, the Vikings got an accurate and consistent kicker; he's a
career 81% in field goals. Another benefit he brings to
Antonio Bryant (Wide Receiver, 6-1 196,
Antonio has made an immediate impact on the Niners. With the improvement of Alex Smith, Bryant has benefited. In week two against the Rams, he caught 4 balls for 131 yards and a touchdown to secure their first win of the season.
Bryant came out of the
If he continues to use his athleticism, explosiveness and very good hands he'll have a great year. He can run good routes, runs well after the catch and makes big plays.
Keyshawn Johnson (Wide Receiver, 6-4 214,
Keyshawn made an impact in week 2 even though the Panthers lost to the
Vikings. With Steve Smith out,
Johnson has the size and strength to be effective in the league even as he gets older. He's still a physical presence and is respected as a big time weapon. He may not be able to run by defenders, but he can muscle them and is very crafty using his hands and body to get open. Keyshawn is still willing to go over the middle and is very good near the goal line.
Who should be looking for their baseball cap?
Chris Simms (Quarterback, 6-4 220,
The lefty looks like he has no confidence and is putting so much pressure on himself to make plays instead of playing within himself. In some cases, a QB with a big arm or one that can bide time in the pocket, can get away with it, but Chris isn't one of those guys. He has an average arm and is making bad decisions because of the pressure he's putting on himself and getting from outside sources.
When you throw the ball over 50 times for 300+ yards, you'd expect to score a touchdown in there somewhere; however, the effort didn't produce the results. He's not getting much support either, as their running game is anemic. There is talent though and maybe Chris just needs to keep the ball underneath and let Galloway, Clayton and Williams, run after the catch.
Trent Cole (Defensive End, 6-2 236,
The single big event that caused the Eagles to lose the game against
Now, I don't believe
Kerry Collins (Quarterback, 6-5 245,
Kerry has been a solid pro but it's time for him to be a solid back up. I'm a firm believer in letting the rookie learn for a year or so, but in this case, the lack of production by the offense under Collins combined wth Vince Young's ability as a weapon leads me to this decision.
Let Vince learn the speed of the game. I'm sure against
Aaron Brooks (Quarterback, 6-4 220,
With Brooks hurt and the Raiders in a rebuilding mode-at least that's what they should be calling this year let's see if Walter is ever going to be an NFL quarterback. He's a big kid with a strong arm for that vertical passing attack. Andrew doesn't have the mobility Brooks has but maybe he'll provide some leadership and get the team going all in the same direction.
Brooks is talented but some time off may help him get re-energized and focused to be a spark plug later in the season.
Dominic Rhodes (Running Back, 5-9 203,
Dominic is a solid back up to Joseph Addai, at least in my opinion. Addai has
shown the ability to be a factor in the offense and
1. Brad
This is a no brainer…he gets his team to hang around in a game with the
2. Sean Payton,
They're 2 – 0 and have been able to get the ball in the hands of their weapons. Even when Bush didn't have the rushing numbers he had an impact in the passing game. Right now everyone seems to be on the same page and heading in the same direction. The schedule gets tougher and there will be more distractions this week with the return to the Superdome…we'll see how they fare.
3. Mike Shanahan,
See you after week three!

Comedian Michael McDonald returns to Orange County
Stand-up comedy is a new sort of gig for comedic actor Michael McDonald. Sure, he spent 10 years creating dozens of semi-autobiographical and silly characters for the sketch show "MADtv." But now he says he's ready for a new challenge.
"After so many years in the business I wanted to be scared again," he says. "The most terrifying thing that I can think of is walking out in front of a group of strangers every night, live, and having to entertain them - and I know that you better bring it."
Though primarily known for his TV characters, McDonald is doing most of his stand-up act as himself, drawing from experiences he had growing up in Orange County and using ammo acquired from those close to him. He's got stories to share about his parents (his mom was the inspiration for the famous "MADtv" character Doreen Larkin, mother to McDonald's Stuart) as well as his dog and even his housekeeper. He brings this new stand-up act to the Brea Improv for five shows this week.
For McDonald, the Brea gig is much more than just a regular night of comedy - he's performing for his hometown. Born and raised in Fullerton, he attended St. Juliana Catholic School and Servite High School in Anaheim.
When McDonald was 9 years old he got a job delivering The Fullerton News Tribune in the blocks around his neighborhood.
"I rode my bike and had a very large route for such a small boy. But I delivered the news and I had to collect the money every month - and I had to knock on doors and people would tell you why they couldn't pay the bill that month. It always involved some personal story. It's not like I had only deadbeats on my route, but it was an early childhood education as to what happens behind people's doors. Like, 'Oh, she can't pay for the paper this month, they're divorcing.'"
McDonald also worked at a fast-food restaurant in Placentia called Naugles when he was in 8th grade; his main duties included calling out the numbers of orders when food was ready. He also worked in a now-defunct retail outlet across from the Brea Mall called the Wild West Store.
His next job, however, would link him to another soon-to-be O.C. superstar: McDonald taught swim lessons at Loara High School for Anaheim Parks and Recreation with a local girl named Gwen Stefani.
"I was like the assistant manager and Gwen was a few years younger than me, and she'd come in and we'd always give her the little kids because she was so sweet and they'd just cling to her and cry. We'd try to all hang out and the rest of us would be like, 'Hey, we're gonna go do this thing,' and she'd be like, 'Oh, I'm gonna go sing in the garage with my brother and his band.'
"And we'd be like, 'Wow, we hope that works out for you.' I think it did? I'm not sure."
The two were reunited years later when No Doubt was the musical guest on "MADtv" and McDonald introduced the band. "We got a chance to reconnect a little bit and had a few laughs. Who would have thought that we'd both end up there?"
McDonald says he had no intention of getting into acting or comedy. After graduating from USC with a business degree, he immediately dove into a career as a number cruncher. It wasn't until a coworker introduced him to the Groundlings Comedy School that he decided a suit and tie was no longer his thing.
"I went to the class and, like, Julia Sweeney was there and a bunch of now-very-famous people. And I went, 'Oh, that's what I'd like to be doing' - and I quit my job as a loans officer."
His job at Noggles actually prepared him for his first big TV role, when he appeared on "Family Matters" in 1993 as the mean manager of a fast-food restaurant.
"I didn't have a lot of lines at all, but I got scared and went over and over them," McDonald says. "There were kids on the set, and this really mean director that kept saying I wasn't hitting my mark, and even though it was the kids who were missing their marks, he yelled at me. I never wanted to work with that director again - but then years later he worked on 'MADtv,' and I never let him forget it."
McDonald joined the cast of "MADtv" in 1998 and quickly developed many characters. But out of all of them Doreen (played by Mo Collins) and Stuart Larkin have stuck with people the most. As to just how much the outrageously thick Wisconsin-accented Ms. Larkin resembles his own mother, well, "Let me just say there are direct quotes. I told her she was kinda the star of my stand-up show and she just says, 'Then you just tell that audience that I love you.' Which is kinda frightening."
Since he's been on the program for a decade now, McDonald often gets stopped on the streets. People ask him to do one of his impressions.
"I'll just be walking along sometimes and people will call me by my characters' names. They say things like, 'Hey, Stuart!' It depends on the situation (when people ask to do the voices). Sometimes it's hilarious and sometimes it's disturbing - like when I'm at a urinal. I mean what can I say? The minute you act like a moron on television for 10 years, some people are going to treat you like you've been a moron on TV for 10 years."
McDonald currently directs segments for "MADtv" and is working on a pilot script for an hour-long ABC drama. He can't dish on it too much, but did say that it was heavily influenced by his upbringing in O.C. - "in a place where everyone has something to hide," he adds.
Although he's currently living in Los Angeles, McDonald still refers to Fullerton as the "Paris of Orange County." His parents have since moved back east because they claimed O.C. was getting "too crazy," but his brother still lives in Yorba Linda - although he won't be attending the Brea show.
"I tend to not like my family seeing my stand-up for a bunch of reasons," McDonald says. "One of the reasons is that they figure predominately into my act. I don't get up there and just tell jokes, I kind of just talk about my childhood, and growing up in Orange County is a very big part of what I end up talking about.
"I don't like performing for the family - it's the one thing that really does make me nervous."

Kenyan Drake knew he wouldn't play in his final Iron Bowl, but was tasked with convincing everyone else he would.
The senior Alabama running back had fractured his right arm two weeks earlier against Mississippi State, but Alabama head coach Nick Saban left open the possibility Drake would play against Auburn. Before the game started, Drake was in uniform out on the field and warming up with the rest of his teammates.
It was all part of a plan to make Auburn prepare for the shifty running back in addition to Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry.
"If you know you're not going to play, but you want to get an edge on the competition, you go out there and dress up," Drake said. "(You) try to go through warmups as best as possible and give the defense something extra to think about."
Drake said it didn't hurt going through warmups even if he wasn't completely healthy. He never got into the game against the Tigers, but believes the plan was successful and he helped his team as a decoy.
Drake returned to action the following week against Florida in the SEC Championship. He didn't put up huge rushing numbers after his injury -- he had 75 yards over three games -- but made one of the biggest plays in the national championship game. Drake returned a kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown to give Alabama a two-score lead in the fourth quarter. Alabama went on to win 45-40 for its 16 national title.
That performance in Glendale, Ariz. was the perfect cap for a player who had to battle injuries throughout his career in Tuscaloosa.
"It showed i can overcome a lot of adversity on and off the field," he said. "At the end of the day im enjoying this process and make the best of this opportunity.

Paste, plum, pear, processing, saladette, and sauce are all names applied to this class of tomato. These are varieties that are typically meatier and less juicy than other types, making them the preferred choice for canning, sauces, salsa, and dehydrating. With their lower juice content, sauce-making time is half that of salad types and, with higher soluble solids and viscosity, flavor intensity is doubled. This is also the best type for fresh cooking. Johnny's offers indeterminate and determinate varieties, in both organic and conventional forms.

Over the last decade or so, NFL teams have begun to shy away from only having one primary ball-carrier. That's resulted in RB becoming the most devalued position in football. Yet, we still wonder who's going to lead the league in rushing this year?
Arian Foster and his Houston Texans are out to the best start in franchise history at 5-0. They remain one of only two teams (Atlanta) that are still undefeated, as they sit atop the AFC.
The Texans are a bit of an anomaly in today's NFL, because they're winning with the "old formula": Run the ball and play great defense.
Foster continues to be a huge part of that success. His ability as a pass-catcher makes him a dual threat out of the backfield.
Coming up, we're going to discuss three reasons the former Tennessee Volunteer is going to win his second rushing title in three years in 2012.

The year was 1969, I was 15 years old and had just made the trip from San Diego to beautiful Santa Monica to participate in the American Open (which, at that time, was held in the luxurious Miramar Hotel). I got there early, checked out the playing room, and noticed a guy (a couple years my senior named Roy Ervin) looking at some openings. Being young, it didn't occur to me that he might want to be left alone, and I sat across from him and began commenting on the lines he was exploring. He took it in stride, a conversation began, and we quickly stepped into other chess spheres like chess history and, of course, our favorite players. Tal was mentioned, I said, "My favorite Tal game was against Gurgenidze."
Ervin looked at me and replied, "You mean the one from Moscow 1957?"
Surprised that he was so well versed in chess culture, I nodded yes, set up the pieces, and played 1.d4, which was the first move of the Gurgenidze – Tal, Moscow 1957 game. He quickly replied with 1…Nf6, I continued with 2.c4, he played 2…c5 and it became clear that we had both memorized this game! After 3.d5 e6 we discussed the Benoni, which I was using at that time. Then a rapid string of moves followed: 4.Nc3 exd5 5.cxd5 d6 6.Nf3 g6 7.e4 Bg7 8.Be2 0-0 9.0-0 Re8 10.Nd2 Na6 11.Re1 Nc7 12.a4 b6 13.Qc2
After making the Qc2 move I looked up and smiled, and he responded by gently sliding the f6-Knight to g4 – it was obvious that he now viewed himself as Tal while my role was that of the victim. Fair enough! Even the loser can appreciate a work of art!
13...Ng4 14.h3??
It actually hurt to play this move since I knew that I was about to be splattered over the board. Clearly, I was about to feel Gurgenidze's pain!
I expected Roy to do this in a violent manner, but he played it slowly, ecstatically, and with great reverence.
15.Kxf2 Qh4+ 16.Kf1
Since Roy was getting so much pleasure from the game, I decided to fully embrace the role of human-piñata. I took 16.Kf1 back, said, "Well, 16.Kg1 Qxe1+ isn't what White wants, but what about 16.Ke3?"
He tossed out 16...Bxc3! (even better than 16...Qxe1) 17.bxc3 Nxd5+ 18.Kd3 (18.Kf3 Qf4 mate) 18...Nf4+ 19.Ke3 (we had a good laugh over 19.Kc4 Be6+ 20.Kb5 a6+ 21.Kxb6 Qd8+ 22.Kb7 Rb8+ 23.Kxa6 Qb6 mate) 19...Nxg2+ 20.Kd3 Nxe1+ 21.Ke3 Nxc2+ and we stopped. It's not a surprise that there's a forced mate: 22.Kd3 Ne1+ 23.Ke3 Qg3+ 24.Nf3 Rxe4+! 25.Kxe4 Bb7+ 26.Ke3 Re8+ 27.Kd2 Rxe2+ 28.Kxe2 Bxf3+ 29.Ke3 Bg4+ 30.Kd2 Qf2 mate.
Good times! We went back to the game:
16...Bd4! 17.Nd1
Stopping ...Qf2 mate.
Ervin was now in some sort of quasi-religious state of bliss.
No bliss for me! 18.Nf2 Qe3 forces mate. Of course, 18.gxh3 allows 18...Bxh3 mate.
18...Qh2 19.Ne3 f5!
An instructive move: Black wants to rip open the center so his pieces can pour into the enemy position along the e-file.
20.Ndc4 fxe4 21.Bxe4 Ba6
I had always looked at this game from the Black side, and it was only after Roy played 21...Ba6 that I fully appreciated the sheer helplessness of white's position: White's King is in the firing line, his Knights are frozen in place, and all of black's pieces (except for the a8-Rook and c7-Knight) are in full assault mode.
22.Bf3 Re5!
There are other good moves too, but this is very strong, very instructive, and very human: Black prepares to get his "forgotten" a8-Rook into the game by doubling on the e-file.
23.Ra3 Rae8 24.Bd2 Nxd5!!
What a move! Now ALL of black's pieces (except his King) are taking part in a brutal beat-down of the enemy position.
It turned out that both Roy and myself had first seen this game in the P.H. Clarke's classic book, Mikhail Tal's Best Games of Chess. Clarke's comment: "Such a mighty clash of pieces is a rare sight. It gives us a wonderful opportunity to study the comparative strengths of aggressive and defensive pieces. Although all white's are in play, they are absolutely helpless."
25.Rd3 Nxe3+ 26.Rdxe3 Rxe3 27.Bxe3 Bxe3 28.Rxe3 Rxe3 and, thanks to the pin along the a6-f1 diagonal, the game is over.
25...Rxd5 26.Ke2 Bxe3 27.Rxe3 Bxc4+, 0-1. A good time to resign since 28.Qxc4 falls on its face to 28...Qxg2+ 29.Kd1 Qxd2 mate, while 28.Kd1 Rxe3 29.Rxe3 Qg1+ 30.Re1 Qf2 (threatening 31...Bb3) 31.Kc1 Bb3 32.Qxb3 (32.Re8+ Kf7) 32...Qxd2+ 33.Kb1 Qxe1+ leaves Black with an extra Rook and three pawns!
After this tournament we occasionally ran into each other at chess events, and we even played on several occasions (he had three wins to my one, with a couple draws). He was a very sweet man and an extremely strong player (solid IM strength). Unfortunately he suffered from some severe psychological problems which led to multiple attempts at suicide, and when the LA Times announced his death, I wasn't surprised (sad, but not surprised). Oddly, I got my IM title at the Roy Ervin Memorial (1987) in San Francisco, only to discover that he was still alive! Recently I read (on chess.com!) that he eventually did pass away in 2001, though I wouldn't be surprised to see him again at some chessboard, alive and passionately moving pieces about. If so, perhaps we'll look at this game one last time.
The Tal game is an illustration of how the study of master games can deeply enrich your understanding of chess. That one example taught us that one always has to be aware of a potential sacrificial Knight explosion on f2 or f7, that it's important to (if possible) bring all your pieces into an attack, and that opening the center (even if it calls for a sacrifice) allows the more active army to enter the enemy position with, quite often, decisive effect.
Roy Ervin and I enjoyed sharing Tal's tactical magic, and though my one win against Roy was based on tactics, it was a far cry from the kind of tactics most people are familiar with. Instead, we both used sacrifices and tactics to gain positional perks:
Roy Ervin – Silman, Berkeley 1976
I hadn't played the opening particularly well and now was facing slow suffocation due to my lack of counterplay (it's almost impossible to attack b3 in any meaningful way), white's two Bishops, white's superiority in space, and white's long-term chances against my King. Realizing that the situation was critical, I thought for an hour and came up with a very interesting plan.
Setting up a strategic pawn sacrifice.
20.Qd2 Nf8 21.g4 Ne6 22.g5 Nd7
It was only now that White realized what my intensions were!
His intended 23.f5 would be met by 23…Nd4 24.Nxd4 cxd4 25.Bxd4 Bxd4+ 26.Qxd4 Qc5 27.Qxc5 Nxc5 with a good position since b3 is very weak and white's Bishop is clearly inferior to black's Knight.
Now the point of 19...Rfc8 can be seen: by making the f8-square accessible to my Knight, I was able to maneuver this piece to d4 where it can take part in an assault against b3. If White chops on d4 and wins a pawn, the newly opened queenside lines and my remaining Knight's access to c5 gives Black tremendous compensation and active play.
24.Nxd4 cxd4 25.Bxd4 Bxd4 26.Qxd4
The purpose of white's "odd" 23.Kh1 is now clear, since Black could force the trade of Queens by 26...Qc5 if the white King still stood on g1. Why would Black want to exchange Queens when he's down a pawn? Because Black is doing very well on the queenside, while white's main hope is a counterattack against the black King. A kingside attack wouldn't be possible if the Queens were no longer on the board.
26…Rb4 27.Qd1 Rcb8
Though a pawn down, Black has an excellent position. White can play the mundane 28.Rf3, but Ervin decided on a more artistic approach. Can you spot it?
As you can see, tactics are not all about brutal knockouts or traps. Tactics also help you make deep positional ideas feasible. If you want to be a good player, you need a good opening repertoire, you need to know basic endgames, you need to be able to attack, you need to be able to calculate, and you need an understanding of positional/strategic building blocks. All these things are important, all these things compliment and work with all the other things, and all of them mesh together to form a well rounded, powerful player.
For those that are curious about the Ervin - Silman game, here's the whole thing:
I encountered Roy Ervin 3 times - as a spectator at the Louis Statham Lonepine tournament, as a beach chess player in Santa Monica(he beat me ay blindfold chess) and at the end of his days in Chico, CA where he played club chess at the Carl Jrs restaurant on weekend release from hospitalization for his deep depression. A troubled genius, a friend and an inspiring chess master. Thank you for this tribute to IM Roy Ervin.
Very nice article.
Sorry, I might've accidentally clicked "add to my friends list" when I was trying to see your articles.
I loved the part about Roy!
Thanks IM Silman. Great article with a human touch.
Very nice attacking games. My chess coach's favourite player is Tal. While my favourite player is Bobby Fishcher, but I enjoyed studying this one game of Tal.
Many comments talk about talent. I believe talent is a great thing to have, but if I had to place a bet between a talented lazy player and a hard working not so talented player, all my money would go to the second one (and I am quite sure I would not loose it). By this I mean that Tal was able to play that way mostly because of alllllll the years and the thounsands of hours of studying and thinking about the game, than because of his talent. Thousands of hours of (not just doing something, but analizing what you do and learning from your mistakes) is what makes you grow, then, if you have talent as well, then yes, you might be a Tal.
No work= no Tal, talent or not.
Thanks for the article, it is the second time I read it! :D
Very good games!!! Thank you very much.
This is good stuff. I'm amazed that aged 15 somebody is even able to comprehend and deeply analyze such strategy. At the age I struggled with basic math, not to mention combinatorics and variations. It seems to me that one have to be totally comitted to this, otherwise I don't see how can anyone find indulgence and pleasure in going through hundred pages of PGN notation.
very nice
Thank you, Sir for that! Roy was a very solid player indeed. I consider him my mentor, in chess that is, certainly not a life coach! Many players received lessons from Roy at the chess tables on Santa Monica beach. And it was sad to see him crumble away over the next 20 years or so. He would get so mad at himself and sometimes could not forgive himself for real or imagined shortcomings. We need to be friends to ourselves too on this journey. Maybe Roy was a life coach after all.
Thanks again!
Silman has given me at age 63 insights into chess, that have helped me get back into the "game of kings" with new found excitement. Thanks for making reassesing my chess a great new adventure!
Nice combo of story telling and chess. Thanks!
thanks for shering, very well done.
This is a fantastic article, with both the personal touch and the actual chess involved.After a long day at work to read this inspired me with new ideas, but tomorrow I plan to go through it again both rested and sober and will probably be twice as enthralled with the ideas shown.
EXCELLENT! Beautiful, touching, and instructive. "Bravo!!!" I say it squeezing tears back as I do. Thanks also to ODYSON (previous comment).
Excellent game played by Tal!
strong moves!
Great article! Awesome games and very good writing, I wish I could have meet Roy, he certainly seems like an incredible person. Thank you for sharing.
Great to hear this story about Roy Ervin. As they say, the brightest sparks can only burn for a short time. I have met one or two like this in my life, and they have unfailingly changed my view of things. It is something special to see these people remembered, even though they do not get fame.
Of course, they chess was good too! Many thanks.

CNI Podcast: Prediction Markets for Emerging Technology - An Interview with NITLE's Bryan Alexander
CNI Podcast: Prediction Markets for Emerging Technology - An Interview with NITLE's Bryan Alexander
This ninenteen minute podcast features an interview with Bryan Alexander, Director for Research at the National Institute for Technology and Liberal Education (NITLE). It was recorded at the Coalition for Networked Information Fall 2008 Task Force Meeting.
The NITLE Prediction Markets are a research project and website which hosts a game of virtual futures markets, but about trends and ideas rather than goods, and using pretend money instead of the real thing. The idea is to use the market framework to elicit distributed intelligence about emerging trends. An MS Word handout is also available that explains how these markets work.
This interview is provided courtesy of CNI and was recorded at their 2008 Fall Task Force Meeting. The Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) is an organization dedicated to supporting the transformative promise of networked information technology for the advancement of scholarly communication and the enrichment of intellectual productivity. You can learn more about CNI at their web site, http://www.cni.org

When Touro College bought a building on the Upper West Side in 2008 to provide housing for students from its Lander College for Women, it replaced the building's two aging elevators and asked for state approval to make one of them a Shabbat elevator.
A total of 43 of the 82 apartments in the building at 10-32 West 65th St. were to be used by the school's Sabbath observant students. The elevator would stop at every floor from sundown Friday until Saturday night, thus allowing students to use it without violating Jewish law that prohibits pushing an elevator button on the Sabbath.
"We were flabbergasted – we were stunned" when virtually all of the non-student tenants opposed the request, said Rabbi Moshe Krupka, Touro's executive vice president.
The Sabbath elevator added at most 83 seconds to the elevator ride, he said, noting that had the college not installed new elevators "the old elevators would have taken longer [to go up six floors], and they were out of service more often than not."
But in April, a deputy commissioner of the State Division of Housing and Community Renewal upheld an earlier ruling that sided with the tenants, saying the other tenants rented their units with the expectation that there would be "two regular elevators at all times." In addition, he found that the slower Sabbath elevator would "inconvenience" other tenants because it would operate when they do their "weekend chores, socialize and recreate."
It is also noted that "the Sabbath is a time when those observant tenants who might use a Sabbath elevator are not permitted to work, to go shopping, to do laundry, or to do other chores that might require the use of an elevator," said the ruling of Deputy Commissioner Woody Pascal.
This week, Touro filed suit in Manhattan Supreme Court seeking to overturn that decision.
"It's just very upsetting because a Sabbath elevator is something that has become so commonplace and usual in residential and hospital settings here, like Mt. Sinai and Beth Israel hospitals," said Rabbi Krupka.
"And their [tenant] appeal contained rabbinic references as to why a Sabbath elevator should not be used in a way that twisted Jewish law for their own ends," he added. "It was very hurtful."
In its court papers, the college challenged the tenant associations' "overall discriminatory and anti-Semitic tone … to wit, (i) that the resident students are in the 18-22 age group and should be able to climb up and down the stairs of the building, disregarding the Jewish prohibition against work on the Sabbath by pushing the buttons on an elevator … and (ii) Sabbath observers are forbidden from using elevators to travel to other floors in the building – therefore they do not really need the elevator.
"These assertions are blatantly discriminatory on many levels. In focusing on denying a religious accommodation, the association ignorantly concludes that all 18-22-year-olds are free from handicaps and disabilities, let alone possibly entitled to an accommodation."
Rabbi Krupka noted that a staff member of the college who lives in the building has "difficulty walking and can't negotiate the steps, and therefore can't stay there for Shabbat."
In addition, he said students must keep their garbage in their rooms during Shabbat because the garbage receptacle in the basement is only accessible by elevator. The same is true of the student lounge in the basement.
"What if a student wants to take a chair to the backyard and read, she can't do it," Rabbi Krupka observed. "The premise of the objections was the inconvenience factor. But people having to live with their garbage for 25 hours," or worrying that elderly guests won't be able to walk down the steps after a Sabbath meal is equally inconvenient.
"This is a matter of decency," he said, bristling.

Joining in on the rabbinical debate is a pointless exercise for the Tennants Association.Are non-sabbath observers really going to tell sabbath observers how to observe the sabbath? Seems absurd. However, they have every right to deny Touros application for a sabbath elevator. Plenty of buildings dont even have elevators. The girls will just have to endure or find other accomodations. As far as the elevators go, it does seem a bit ungrateful by the other tennants to deny Touros request after they install new faster elevators. My suggestion to Touro is to remove the elevators if you feel slighted. But In the future, make a contract before installing the elevators with the Tennants Association.

Professional Iontophoresis machines don't have an electric fence effect!
There are numerous iontophoresis machines out there that can give you a great unpleasant BUZZZZ!! This happens every time the current flow is broken, when you try to regulate the current, or when you want to end an iontophoresis session. It can even happen when you're about to start the treatment, while taking out your hands and feet from the treatment tubs, or at the end of the treatment session for automatic switching.
Although it is not dangerous at all, this electric fence effect can be extremely annoying and is caused by either a poor knowledge, old technology, or simply a cheap device design.
OUR RECOMMENDATION: For the most effective iontophoresis treatments with the least pain, we recommend our Pulsed Current models. These models use the newest, finest, and smoothest current form available at the moment.

Need a logo designed for a client. She is a DJ
Something with jennjade on it or incorporated. It could be JJ or her name written under an emblem.
I like the thought of somehow incorporating a heart monitor with an equalizer. I like modern and sleek.
Nothing too busy.. And I also want it slightly feminine and it has to somehow represent music.. Whether its a house emblem or a musical note...
Skills: design
