Work details
Black Juice by Margo Lanagan (2004)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Everything about this is really well executed - her prose, especially, is very beautiful, and she writes with a real depth of feeling. A fuller review is here..
I can't really say that I 'liked' this collection of intense YA short stories. I will say I thought they were extraordinarily original and beautifully written. And challenging. So, I liked them 3 stars, but I do believe it was a 5 star amazing book.
ETA a conversation on the GR group 'Aussie Readers.'
Jenny wrote: Cheryl, is that the book with the story, Singing My Sister Down? OMG that story has haunted me for ages!"
Yes it is. And yes, that's a haunting story. If I weren't so squeamish, I'd've read the stories one at a time, and they all would be haunting me. "Sister..." is the first one so I think that's at least partly why it makes the biggest impact. I liked the acknowledgements, wherein the author gives clues about the inspirations. If she hadn't given those, I would not have been able to stop wondering if she were alien, or possessed, or something...."
very powerful collection of short stories. I am in awe of the author. These would be great for students to discuss or for a creative writing class to read and study.
quirky is a good word for Lanagan's short stories. frustratingly tantalizing would represent another way of describing them.
written like incomplete Twilight Zone episodes, the truncated anecdotes in Black Juice introduce many intriguing situations and worlds that we'll probably never have fleshed out.
they introduce punishment by slowly sinking into a tar pit, a frenetic clown assassination game played with live ammo and sponsors, feral angels that smell of earthworms and fish slime, etc., etc. much of it feels post-apocalyptic or dystopian; some pure fantasy but nothing is expected.
you want to know more; you want to see the point the author is making;see what, if any, moral or ethical head-scratcher she is trying to spell out, but just when the stories get really good, more often than not, they just end.
4Q, 1P The short story "Singing My Sister Down" fits perfectly with the theme of the book showing darkness and light in every story. The story somehow manages to pull together murder, justice, honor, family, and love into one hauntingly disturbing 16 page story. The writing could only be improved by fewer pronouns. As it is I had to reread multiple passages to figure out which characters were being referred to. Although craftful, I found the story to be unsatisfying and it reminds me of stories I never would have read if they hadn't been required in high school literature classes.

Just like most Press Lions this year, a bit overdone. Especially in relation to the product.
The copy gives it a meaning it would have lacked had the written line not been under each image. It's not see and say or redundancy either. It's a common-sense finishing the joke. How would I have known the guy in the boat was a voyeur and not a coward, or that the guy in the whale's mouth was seen from the POV of a widow and not a narcissist or paranoid schizophrenic? Leaving interpretation to each reader could have worked too, but personally, I prefer this. Kudos to team.
That's it.

Students can start their HND studies at the age of 17 or over, and 16 year olds can do our foundation programme which will get them ready for their HND studies by helping them to improve their English, their knowledge and their study skills.

Pirates pitcher Wells to have surgery for restricted vein
There is no established time for recovery, but Wells said he would have a better idea after surgery, which is scheduled for Monday.
"Whatever it is, it's too much," Wells said. "I came in here throwing well. It's frustrating. I just have to hope for a speedy recovery."
Wells, 28, was diagnosed by Dr. Robert Thompson, a vascular surgeon in St. Louis, as having complete blockage of the primary vein from the chest to the arms and neck. Thompson will replace the damaged part of that vein with one from his leg.
Wells described his condition as a variation of the one that caused Colorado Rockies pitcher Aaron Cook to miss almost a year. Thompson rerouted a vein and removed Cook's first rib. Cook returned in July and went 7-2 down the stretch last season.
"Until they get in there, we won't know," Wells said. "They could think the clot would be this big and it ends up that big. They've narrowed the problem quite a bit, but there's still a spectrum of things that could be going on in there."
Wells said Thompson's initial plan doesn't involve removing a rib, but that could change depending on what Thompson finds during surgery.
What is known now, he said, is that the vein being replaced has a combination of clotting, irritation and possibly scar tissue. Thompson said the ailment is the direct result of Wells' pitching.
In 2004, Wells was troubled by recurring numbness in his hand. After the season, he had a minor procedure called carpal tunnel release. He remained healthy throughout 2005, missing only one start to a blister and cracked fingernail, and wound up leading the staff with 182 innings pitched.
He said he wasn't sure if the current ailment is related to any of his past injuries.
"I could have had this for a few weeks, a few months or 15 years," he said. "I don't know."
Wells participated in all pitching sessions in the Pirates' January minicamp and this spring training. But that, he said, is when his arm began to feel tired.
"It's just been fatigued," Wells said. "It's been several different things at times, whether it's my shoulder that was sore, my biceps. Any muscle that requires blood in your arm has been tired at times in the past few weeks."
Wells led all major league pitchers in losses last year with an 8-18 record, but the Pirates were counting on him to be a key contributor to their rotation after signing him to a one-year, $4.15 million contract. The team didn't take out insurance on the contract.
Pittsburgh general manager Dave Littlefield said the team will not pursue additional pitching from the outside. The Pirates have two vacancies and have identified five candidates to fill them —Victor Santos, Ryan Vogelsong, Ian Snell, Sean Burnett and Tom Gorzelanny.
"Nothing's changed," Littlefield said. "We'll see what our guys can do."

"Uncle" Lionel Batiste, the longtime bass drummer for the Treme Brass Band and a beloved New Orleans character who cut a mean one on the dance floor, has died, The Times-Picayune is reporting.
The news organization reports he died at a New Orleans-area hospital of a brief illness. Many news organizations listed his age as 81, and several sources listed his date of birth as falling in February 1931. The Times-Picayune, however, listed his age of death as 80.
Batiste -- known for his trademark wristwatch across the hand, sunglasses and ever-present kazoo -- appeared in many television shows, including HBO's Treme, and commercials.
He also was the key figure on posters advertising the Spike Lee post-Katrina documentary If God Is Willing and Da Creek Don't Rise. An ad for the documentary and Batiste's likeness once dominated a billboard on a Times Square billboard, according to the Times-Picayune.
Batiste started performing with brass bands as a boy and, as an adult, was well known along the city's Frenchmen Street entertainment district, the news organization reports. According to the Times-Picayune, Batiste is survived by two wives and 13 children.
Actor Wendell Pierce, a native of New Orleans and a star of Treme, tweeted Sunday, "He possessed the musicianship and character of New Orleans."

The term planet earth is an innovation which has arisen in recent centuries with the error of heliocentrism.If one wants to confess a pure doctrine of Orthodoxy, they should be careful not to refer to the earth as a planet, unlike the current Pope as well as Patriarch Kirill and Patriarch Bartholomew, who regularly speak in error when they refer to our planet earth.
"Male gynecologists vehemently disagreed with the findings of this study. Dr. Thurgood stated, why would we eliminate the part of the exam that caused so many of us to enter this field? It is an outrage and a war against women's health!"
the test was overall unnecessary for unsystematic women.

Guess OB-GYN is out of the question as a career path then. Darn.

Injury prevention training in football: Time to consider training under fatigue?
by Darren Paul, Joao Brito, George Nassis
Muscle injuries often occur towards the end of each half and this has been associated with fatigue (1). Current practice often means injury prevention training is performed at the start of the session. The hypothesis is that when training is performed in a fresh state it allows players to demonstrate better form. In this article we will look at fatigue, fitness and training order to question this existing practice and build a case for performing injury prevention at the end of practice, when in a fatigued state.
Football is a sport where players perform bouts of high intensity activity interspersed with periods of lower intensity. The demands are increased by having to execute complex movements such as accelerating and decelerating, changing direction, jumping and tackling, parts of which are likely to impact on the characteristics of the match (2). To do this players need an appropriate level of fitness, namely moderate-to-high aerobic and anaerobic power, good agility, flexibility and muscular development and the ability to generate power during fast movements. Although players may not excel across all of the physical components, they should possess levels that will allow them to remain competitive for the whole match.
It is clear that physical qualities are not the only determinant of match performance. The outcome of a match depends on the complex interaction of several physical, psychological, technical and tactical factors. The work rate of a player in a match is also dependent on many other factors. Some of these are:
- the quality of the opposition,
- changes in positional role,
- the effects of previous and/or forthcoming game commitments,
- environmental conditions,
- dehydration,
- cultural differences and other intrinsic and extrinsic factors.
One example of the complexities is the distance covered. In the English Premier League players from less successful teams cover significantly greater distances in high-intensity activities than their more successful counterparts(3). The opposite was found in Italy where players of the most successful teams from the Italian Serie A perform more high-intensity activities during a game when in possession of the ball compared with players of less successful teams(4). It is improper to suggest that superior fitness and/or players'/teams' levels will manifest in higher amounts of effort during any given match.
Given the demanding nature of football, players will likely experience a degree of transient or accumulated fatigue at some stage of the match. The oversimplification of interpreting this with time-motion analysis is that players tend to experience this fatigue or/and impaired performance mainly after short-term, intense periods in both halves and towards the end of the match(5). However, basing assumptions regarding physical fitness and fatigue purely on activity profile statistics is flawed; particularly given that our understanding of physiological responses during match activity remains limited. For example, it is still unknown to what extent the dynamic responses to match demands (such as accumulation of metabolites in muscles, plasma osmolality, substrate availability, body temperature and dehydration) prevent total breakdown of any single peripheral physiological system, either prematurely or in the final periods of the match(6).
Fatigue has become a hot topic in football despite being regarded as a complex and multi-factorial entity. There is growing interest as to how fatigue relates to recovery, player fitness and effort during matches. To avoid exhausting themselves before the final whistle, players are likely to adopt a pacing strategy that allows them to be involved in demanding and critical moments, even during the final stages of a match. The regulation of self-chosen high intensity activity is also an important product of training, as players need to learn to adopt pacing strategies that will allow a high effort even during the final stages, or when required. For example, an early sending off might increase the overall work rate of outfield players. Hence, there is likely a demand to cover more distance in order to counteract the numerical disadvantage. This may result in higher levels of fatigue towards the end of the game(6). The large match-to-match variability of individual player work rates, particularly high intensity activity, as a representation of time-motion analysis means players are unlikely to perform to their maximal capacity during most matches.
When planning training sessions, coaches should take into account that playing and training affect each individual player differently. One of the objectives of a fitness test battery is to identify differences in players' physical characteristics. A variety of fitness tests are currently used to monitor performance and evaluate training response. Unfortunately, there is no exact measure for 'physical performance' in a football match. This stresses the fact that individual performance in fitness tests should not be used to directly predict performance in competition. Nonetheless, player fitness should be considered as a factor that contributes to match result. This means that using fitness tests together with physiological data might be useful for monitoring performance measure changes and directing training prescription. If testing and/or monitoring are not done often, coaches might not detect adaptations, which can occur faster than the time between tests. From an applied perspective, this remains a challenge, as coaches are sometimes reluctant to sanction frequent testing within the season. This is despite the fact that routine monitoring may aid periodisation strategies, prevent under/overtraining and maintain players in optimal condition.
A relevant question when planning training sessions relates to fatigue. This is important as muscle injuries (e.g. hamstring strains, the most prevalent muscle injuries in football) typically occur in the latter stages of a match(7). Interestingly, fatigue during the match has been associated with decreased eccentric strength and flexibility(7). Most joint sprains also occur towards the final stages of each half of the match. We think that this might be associated with fatigue-related changes in neuromuscular control, joint dynamic stability, and postural control. This may result in players performing 'different' movement patterns than when they are fresh. Fatigue may lead to players using potentially injurious landing and turning techniques that occur during the later stages of football activity. Evidence to support this theory was seen using a 90-minute intermittent exercise protocol, representative of football match play. During the protocol, players had time-dependent impairments in sprinting kinematics, peak eccentric hamstring torque, functional strength ratio and overall sprint performance during the latter stages of the test(7). Such research supports our hypothesis that fatigue is a major injury risk factor of match play.
Low fitness level is thought to be an injury risk factor for players(3). Therefore, practitioners often try to elevate physical fitness in the belief that this will reduce the incidence of fatigue and accompanying injury. It cannot be overlooked, however, that players with greater physical fitness will simply work at a greater, rather than reduced, relative intensity, the implication being players may still suffer from fatigue. Players tend to perform less physical work and fewer skilled actions in the second half of a match compared to the first, regardless of ability. However, given that players may rarely perform to the maximum capacity in a match, the relationship between maximal (test) performance, fitness and injury occurrence is far from simple. This is likely to have profound implications for conditioning as part of the training programme. Despite such knowledge, there appear to be few time-related guidelines on when to embed injury prevention training into the practice sessions.
Resistance to fatigue is a key factor for a player to continually perform throughout the whole match. Indeed, the player's performance in response to training can be estimated from the balance between a negative (fatigue) and positive function (fitness). There is a fine line between improving fitness and negatively overloading the player, which could cause injury. There is now growing emphasis placed on monitoring training loads (using global positioning systems, heart rate monitors, time-motion analysis and subjective scales such as rate of perceived exertion) to allow teams to better manage and monitor training loads. Such tools are commonly used within the applied setting and are deemed important to develop performance-enhancing training guidelines.
The issue of training order is considered an important factor in the design of training programmes. Generally, this con-cept has been considered with regards to the order of endurance and strength training and a possible interference effect(8). Either order of training has its advantages and disadvantages. This means it is important to consider the objective of the training session. For example, residual fatigue from the endurance component of concurrent training may compromise the ability to develop tension during the strength element of concurrent training. Essentially, there appears a likely trade-off that needs to be considered in view of the training goal.
The law of training specificity states that the specific nature of a training load produces its own specific response and adaptations(9). By inference, it would seem training in a fatigued state may improve performance in a fatigued state, too. In terms of injury prevention training, it seems the general approach is to perform drills earlier at the start of the session, often in a non-fatigued state. The justification is that players perform efforts in a 'fresh condition' that allows the musculature to produce the appropriate responses of protective function in maintaining stability, balance and body control. We propose some injury prevention training would be effective when performed after rather than before fatigue sets in. The reality of the match means that players will execute specific tasks in both non-fatigued and fatigued conditions. Hence, it would seem training in both conditions might benefit the players.
Research has started to examine the effect of injury prevention training under fatigued conditions. The limited number of studies available have mainly been conducted in semi-professional football players and more studies in professional players are needed. In one study, eccentric strength training conducted post-training was shown to significantly reduce the negative influence of fatigue on hamstring strength(9). Following the 8-week intervention, players who performed the training fatigued, compared to non-fatigued, showed better maintenance of eccentric hamstring strength and preserved functional eccentric hamstring to concentric quadriceps stre-ngth ratio during an intermittent test. A real life significant reduction in match-play hamstring injury rate in Australian Rules football was shown following an intervention strategy, including a football-specific eccentric hamstring strength drill, performed in a fatigued state(10). The protective qualities may apply to other intrinsic factors that can be trained. For instance, a greater improvement in balance ability was observed when balance training was performed after, rather than before, football training(11). This means that training in a fatigued state could also be applied to proprioception. Intuitively, the application of this as a training strategy is largely dependent on the trainers' objective within the session. However, we recommend that the timing for injury prevention training, including eccentric strength training, core stability, neuromuscular control and balance drills, should vary between training sessions as a strategy to improve adaptability to the specific demands of the game.
In conclusion, we recommend practitioners consider performing injury prevention training in a fatigued state too. By exposing the player to training under fatigue, we can better prepare them for the demands of the match. This strategy might assist in reducing the match fatigue-related injuries.

What are the barriers to effective implementation of injury prevention practices in high level football?
|Graph 1
In the survey of workload practices of high level football clubs (Akenhead & Nassis), 41 sport scientists and fitness coaches responded to specific questions. There were two questions relevant to this post's title; one asked the participants to rate their perceived expected and actual effectiveness of their strategy on injury prevention and performance enhancement. The other one asked them to name and rate the barriers to workload monitoring effectiveness on injury prevention and performance improvement. Their answers, as means and SD, appear in these 2 graphs.
Briefly, here is the summary of the answers:
-Actual effectiveness of workload monitoring was rated as being lower that the expected effectiveness for injury prevention and performance improvement (Graph 1)
-The main barriers to effective implementation of the workload practices were insufficient manpower and low coach buy-in.

Can genetic testing identify if your child is a talented athlete?
|for source see below
In recent years we have experienced the rise of an emerging market of direct-to-consumer* genetic testing that claims to be able to identify talented children who have the potential to become elite athletes. Applying good marketing these claims target the parents and the coaches. What is the truth? Do genetic tests help in talent identification?
A panel of world class experts evaluated the published literature and wrote a consensus paper which I believe should serve as the guideline document until further knowledge is developed. Below are the main points and concerns of the experts on the role of genetic testing in talent identification. As the experts claim:
-" There is concern among the scientific community that the current level of knowledge is being misrepresented for commercial purposes"
-"There is concern over the lack of clarity of information over which specific genes or variants are being tested and the almost universal lack of appropriate genetic counselling for the interpretation of the genetic data to consumers"
The experts' conclusion is that " … in the current state of knowledge, no child or young athlete should be exposed to direct-to-consumer genetic testing to define or alter training or for talent identification aimed at selecting gifted children or adolescents."
To add on that piece of information, excellence in sports is not solely determined by genes. No doubt that one needs an appropriate genetic background which together with well planned, dedicated training, athlete's willingness to excel and the family/social support may lead to high performance.

*Direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing refers to testing sold directly to consumers via the television, internet or other marketing venues without the involvement of health care professionals.

What are the key leadership skills required by sports professionals? lessons from Sir Alex Ferguson
Coaching a team or leading a sports science and medicine team requires leadership skills. People have different perceptions on which is the most effective approach to achieve top performance. Better to learn from the top leaders.
Sir Alex Ferguson is one of them and in this video he is sharing his thoughts and practices. It is worth watching clicking here
Improve players' aerobic capacity to protect them from injuries
The general consensus up to date is that rapid changes in workload are associated with higher risk of muscle injuries. To monitor the workload trends, practitioners now employ the acute (last week) to chronic (last 4 weeks) workload ratio.
It seems, although the data are limited, that a ratio between 1 and 1.25 is protective to injuries in professional soccer players. The question is: does this range of values apply to every player?
In a 2016 study, 48 professional soccer players belonging to 2 elite European teams were followed for one season. Weekly workload was monitored and the muscle injuries were recorded. Aerobic capacity was assessed with the Yo-YoIR1. Their results showed that players with high aerobic capacity presented lower risk of injury despite the rapid changes in weekly workload compared to players with lower aerobic fitness.
Therefore, one of the training objectives should be to improve aerobic capacity. I believe these findings apply to all levels of team sports athletes and to most age categories, respecting the windows of training opportunities.
Players with high aerobic capacity are able to tolerate the rapid changes in workload better compared to players with lower aerobic capacity.

What have we learned from UEFA Champions League so far?
Lesson 1: Don't always trust the numbers: From a data analysis perceptive Sevilla FC could have won the match yesterday. Compared to Leicester City FC, they had more ball possession (68% vs 32%), more passes completed (531 vs 199!), higher passes accuracy (86% vs 70%) and more attempts on target (5 vs 4). In addition, Sevilla players covered greater distance running compared to Leicester (106.2 km vs 104.4 km). Though, Sevilla lost the match! Last week, PSG players covered much greater distance in the field (110.4 km vs 105.8 Km) though they were defeated by FC Barcelona. Match winning is so complex and affected by not only technical and physical elements but also other factors like players' desire to win (!), robustness of the team, fans' support.
So, what's going on? Are the data we collect (huge amounts indeed) useless? No, this is not the case. Data are needed and will assist in making more intelligent solutions. It's not about the data; It's about how you interpret the numbers. Smart data interpretation require the ability to read the context!
Lesson 2: Smart planning leads to success. Leicester are not doing well in the English Premier League but they are very successful in the Champions League. I assume the Club has made a decision right from this season's beginning and prioritized the objectives based on the team's strengths and weaknesses.
Lesson 3: Smart support may raise the team to a higher level. I am sure you all agree Leicester FC have been a successful example of smart planning and decision making at all levels. Science and medical staff play a role in this success story. Proper training and recovery periodization and injury prevention strategies are key action plans that can add value and boost the team's performance to a higher level.
To learn more about how this is happening in Leicester City FC I advise you to watch the video with the Head of Sports Science speaking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7Rsdj-_AoI&feature=youtu.be&list=PL8z05aMc--mi4LZb2wynvSYUqlR1ou20

Outsiders' intelligence: Time to re-think current practices?
"If nothing is going right, turn left"
We live in an era of accelerated knowledge. In modern elite level sports and in particular in football, input from the backroom staff (medicine and science practitioners) is considerable and influences the coaches' decision-making process. However, it appears that there is a huge gap between knowledge gained in the lab or via research and actual benefit for the team in the field. As an example, injuries incidence in elite football players remained unchanged over the last 10 years. This was despite the growing number of scientific papers on prevention over the same period and the fact that some clubs are using injury prevention programs regularly. Another example, again in elite football, is related to the effect of congested fixture on performance. As most of you know, congested fixture will possibly result in performance decrements despite the fact that training and recovery methods have been substantially improved over the last years. Are we heading in the right direction? Should we start thinking differently?
Why injuries incidence remains stable?
With reference to the first example above, a number of reasons may explain the relatively low effectiveness of injury prevention programs on the injury incidence in elite football. Some of these factors are: the lack of applied research which is real-life questions driven, the inability to translate current research into effective practice, the relatively low players' compliance with the prevention training. If player's commitment with the specific exercise program is an issue (as some researchers and practitioners suggest) we should concentrate more on understanding our players rather than on developing exercise drills. Knowledge from social sciences might help in understanding our players better. In extension to that, it is assumed that the lack of fresh ideas and of the 360o view might also be a factor. As in other expertise knowledge from other areas, outsiders' knowledge, could add value and help in finding solutions to current challenges.
What can we learn from the outsiders?
In terms of injury prevention and risk detection approaches in elite footballers, the majority of strategies so far are fragmented. Screening tests, mostly performed at the start of season and in isolation to the game context, are correlated with the injury incidence throughout the season. However, to link any injury with its risk factors we should at least analyze the specific movement and the context (e.g. time of match, style of play) that it occurs. For that reason, we must integrate measures and data from movement and performance analysis, energy system function, psychological status and previous training principles. This requires a dynamic and holistic approach in data analysis. Several business units of a dynamic nature use approaches to deal with big data and reach meaningful conclusions, being, for instance, the risk of taking a decision, prices/budget forecasts, consumers behavior etc. I am sure that modern sports have to learn a lot from these practices.
USA navy wanted to use the most advanced tools to screen their pilots' ability to perform well under high psychological stress. This initiative was driven by the strategic objective to reduce the human lives losses and financial cost in case of fatal events. Their research showed that certain proteins are valid candidate molecules to identify individuals who can perform well while under high stress. I am not claiming that we should use exactly the same genomic approach as in pilots but this knowledge from outsiders might help us to improve the tools we use in football.
Football can learn from top business
Business owners in the City of London wanted to know which biological factors affect the traders' decision making. If they are able to identify the influential biological markers next step would be to manipulate them towards the optimal level. Saliva samples were collected from the traders every morning and were analyzed for testosterone and cortisol concentration. The saliva hormones daily variations were plotted against their performance (money profit and losses). The results showed that the traders were making profits in the days that testosterone concentration was high. This is particularly relevant to elite sports where all actions should align to optimize performance at a certain time of day.
What's next?
To my view we should rethink the way we approach, plan and execute science in modern sports. To provide effective solutions to coaches/managers, being tools to injury incidence reduction and performance enhancement, we should also look at other areas and places. Knowledge from outsiders might help.

Does regular post-exercise cold application attenuate training adaptations?
http://georgenassis.blogspot.gr/2011/07/some-thoughts-on-use-of-water-immersion.html). This concern is growing as more data is published showing that regular cold application might attenuate training adaptations.
What's new?
Yamane and colleagues (2015) asked their participants to train with wrist flexion exercises, 3 times a week for 6 weeks. Seven subjects immersed their forearms in cold water (10 ± 1°C) for 20 min after each training whereas the other 7 didn't immerse their limbs. Their results showed that regular post-exercise cold application attenuated muscular and vascular adaptations to this type of training (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25760154).
In a more recent study, 21 active males participated in a strength training program for 12 weeks. Post-exercise recovery included either 10-min cold water immersion (CWI) or active recovery. Their results showed that CWI attenuates the exercise training induced hypertrophy (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26174323).
Points to consider
Although both studies provide novel data on the potential role of regular post-exercise cold water immersion on training adaptations, they are not without limitations. Their main limitation is that participants were non-trained and, thus, we don't know if these results apply to trained individuals.
Evidence against
On the other side, Ihsan et al. (2015) recently showed that regular cold water immersion following endurance training sessions may enhance mitochondrial biogenesis (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26041108). As in the above mentioned studies, non-trained subjects were recruited and this limits the applications of these findings.
Take-home message
My opinion is that there is evidence that regular post-exercise cold application attenuates adaptations to training. We should acknowledge however that this information comes from non-trained males following strength training. Until more data in trained and possibly elite individuals are published we should be more concerned with the regular application of cold as a means of recovery.

Training load assessment in elite football players: should we trust what we read?
|with Djibril Cisse (Pre-season camp in Austria, July 2010)
As most of you know, training load (TL) assessment is vital to injury prevention strategy development. There are various tools of TL assessment, with the Rate of Perceived Exertion being one of the most popular.
In one of our papers (Brito, Hertzog, Nassis 2015), accepted for publication last week, we analysed the TL of highly trained football players daily throughout the entire season. The fatigue index was assessed once per week for the same period.
Our main finding was that training load was affected by a number of factors like previous and next match result and location. In addition, although TL fluctuated throughout the year the fatigue index remains relatively stable. Given the limitations of our methodology, we speculate that highly-trained players choose their pace during training in order to avoid excess fatigue throughout the season.
Practical implications
1) RPE-based training load assessment may not be as accurate as we think, and
2) highly-trained players have the ability to modify their pace in order to avoid excessive fatigue. Although this speculation remains to be proved with more robust experimental designs, our data suggest we should consider modifying our strategies on fatigue & injury prevention.

Post-exercise recovery: time to reconsider our practice?
It is evident that post-exercises strategy is a "hot" topic in sports. There is substantial literature on that topic. Does this knowledge makes a big difference in the field?
Based on my experience, there is need for more work on the applicability of the post-recovery strategies in a real life set-up. For instance, players' compliance to some recovery methods is variable, if not low, at some periods. This is of course a fact that affects the methods' effectiveness.
In a previous post, I highlight the findings of a study that examined player's perception on recovery methods and the effectiveness of these methods on recovery (here http://georgenassis.blogspot.com/2012/07/which-is-most-effective-recovery-method.html).
To summarize my thoughts, I believe that:
- we need to implement a more holistic approach by applying various methods depending on the athlete's belief and the period of the year
- we must improve players buy-in. If athletes believe on the method, they will comply and this might result in better recovery.

Cold water immersion for recovery: is it all in our mind?
Cold water immersion is a very popular strategy for recovery after exercise. Although there is evidence on its benefits on perception of fatigue no consensus exists on its effect on performance. In addition, many studies show no effect of this strategy on physiological functions. Part of the confusion might be due to the studies' design. Indeed, most studies have not used a placebo condition and this could have affected the conclusion and hence the practical applications.
How this study might affect practice?
Some concerns
The study of Broatch et al (2014) investigated if the placebo effect is responsible for any acute performance and psychological benefit of postexercise cold water immersion. Following a high-intensity interval session, the participants followed one of the 3 following recovery conditions i) cold water immersion at 10 oC, ii) thermoneutral water immersion placebo (34.7 oC), iii) thermoneutral water immersion control (34.7 oC).
Their conclusion was that a recovery placebo administered after high-intensity exercise was as effective as cold water immersion in the recovery of muscle strength over 48 hours. In addition, both the cold water and the thermoneutral immersion placebo resulted in faster recovery of strength compared with the control condition.
This study shows that at least part of any benefit of cold water immersion is due to a placebo effect.
How this study might affect practice?
- Postexercise water immersion even at around 30 oC may produce similar performance improvements compared to cold water immersion provided we lead athletes believe that thermoneutral water immersion is beneficial on performance recovery.
- Medical & sports science staff should not be so concerned about the water temperature itself.
- Thermoneutral water immersion is more comfortable to athletes and this should be taken into consideration when planning a recovery strategy.
Some concerns
- This study examined the recovery of muscle strength. We don't know what might happen with the application of the same recovery strategy on other performance parameters such as speed, repeated sprints ability and endurance.

Surya sponsors 'Think Pink' campaign in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October 17, 2013,
Area rugs and home accessories manufacturer Surya announced that the brand is running a "Think Pink" campaign through Oct. 31 in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
For the remainder of October, 10% of proceeds from the sale of 20 pink Surya products will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) to foster education and research in the fight against breast cancer.
It is estimated that each year, more than 230,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer and nearly 40,000 will die, making breast cancer the country's second leading cause of death among women.
"Most everyone knows someone who has been impacted by breast cancer in some way - either personally or through a family member, friend or colleague," said Satya Tiwari, president of Surya. "We are proud to join many other organizations across the nation in the fight to someday soon make the term 'breast cancer' obsolete."
Surya is promoting its Think Pink campaign during High Point Market, and will showcase a selection of eligible pink products in its Showplace 4100 flagship showroom.

This is not something for a 1-2 days trip to Oslo. But for a longer period, if time allows and you're keen on spending few hours a week trying to catch up with some basic or advanced knowledge about how to play guitar, bass, piano, drums, how to sing or how the stage sound works, the AKKS school is the perfect solution. If you're lucky and catch a one day seminar in one artistic field, that's recommended for a short stay in the city. And even if the school is mainly trying to support girls in the beginning of their musical careers, I have seen plenty of guys attending classes as well.
I personally took the drumming course for intermediates. It was 8 sessions of 4 hours each, once per week. It was absolutely enjoyable. Really great atmosphere among colleagues, dedicated teacher and friendly environment altogether. Plus the school is mainly handled by volunteers, hence everybody is always willing to help you with information and suggestions. The rehearsal halls are available at anytime outside course hours, and that is very handy for someone with a hectic schedule.
Another really cool thing about the school is that they offer a 'band class' where you learn a song together with other members of the band and after few weeks you end up performing it on the stage at the bar Blå (Check out the article).

You may have noticed that our funny little commentaries were getting increasingly...ummm. What's the word we're looking for? Violent. That's because we were starting to get angry. You see, some of these stories were really, really hard for us to read. And Kate and I cried more than once. As a matter of fact, I've been a sniveling wreck for the past two days. The Cap'n kept glancing at the calendar and then looking confused. And although the whole purpose of this blog is to always find the funny, sometimes that wasn't easy. Except for the guy who stole all the spoons and the parts of the lamps. We want to party with him.*
For those mommies who shared these stories with us - thank you. We gave you our feedback and as usual, it was completely useless. But there are other women out there who have been dealing with similar experiences, who may now feel a little less alone. And while bashing your ex for the sake of getting your B on isn't a cool thing to do, almost all of you who wrote to us had very serious things to get off your chests. And a little venting every once in a while never hurt anyone.
We know there are days when it feels like there is no one out there who understands or appreciates what you're doing. Like no one sees how hard you're working and how at the end of the day - you always come last. That if someone could just really see you for who you are -just for a moment- that it might make it easier to do it all again tomorrow.
Well, we see you. And you're a hero. Like Buffy, only with a slightly bigger ass.
Some of us are lucky enough to have a partner who gets it. Maybe not all the time, but who tries. Who loves with their whole heart. Even if you're not married to that person anymore or if they make a mess of things sometimes (yes, Lydia, we mean you) take a moment to appreciate your situation and their efforts.
xo, Lydia & Kate

Pacers finally snap skid, rout BobcatsMar 22, 2009 - 3:17 AM CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (AP) -- From getting into a dispute with a teammate to being benched to shifting to point guard, Jarrett Jack had a busy 24 hours.
He capped it off by being nearly perfect.
A night after getting into an on-court argument with T.J. Ford, Jack replaced Ford at point guard and scored 31 points on 13-of-14 shooting, leading the Indiana Pacers to a dominating 108-83 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats to snap a five-game losing streak.
"We put that behind us. It had nothing to do with it," Jack said of the incident with Ford on Friday that got him banished to the locker room. "I didn't want to come out with the 'I told you so' stuff. I just wanted to come out and play good basketball and try to get off that losing streak."
Danny Granger added 21 points and Brandon Rush - who started in Jack's old spot at shooting guard - scored 15 for Indiana, which outscored Charlotte 33-9 in the third quarter in their best performance in weeks.
"We needed a little bit of a change," coach Jim O'Brien said of the lineup change. "(Jack) gave us a tremendous spark starting at the point guard spot. He maintained the aggressiveness of our team the entire time, both offensively and defensively, with positive talk and good court leadership.
"Not only did he score well, he led well."
There was little of that on the Bobcats' side. Boris Diaw scored 15 points but got no help in a brutal performance that ended their three-game winning streak.
Entering the night one game behind eighth-place Chicago in the Eastern Conference, the Bobcats were the target of boos by their home fans after shooting 3-of-19 in the third quarter and allowing Jack to roam free at the other end.
"In every area we just got whipped," coach Larry Brown said.
Jack's only miss came on a 3-point attempt in the first minute of the second quarter. Constantly beating Raymond Felton off the dribble, Jack was two points shy of his career high despite sitting out the fourth quarter.
"You can't guard nobody who shoots 13-for-14 from the field," Felton said. "He was hitting everything: 3s, mid-range, get to the basket. It was tough. He had a great game tonight."
The Pacers, whose recent funk left them 4 games out of the final playoff spot, were a different team after Friday's dispute.
Jack and Ford had an on-court argument that carried over to the bench midway through the third quarter. They had to be separated by their teammates, and O'Brien sent Jack to the locker room.
"Something happened between all of us," O'Brien said before Saturday's game. "We dealt with it and it's behind us."
O'Brien replaced Ford with Rush in the starting lineup against the Bobcats. Ford entered for the first time with 3:38 left in the first quarter and finished with nine points and six assists.
But the night belonged to Jack, who shot 9-for-10 from the field in the first half, including a long-runner to beat the shot clock.
"It might have been a college 3, seriously," Jack said with a smile.
Jack hit a fadeaway jumper with 5 seconds left to put Indiana ahead 53-45 at halftime.
After Jack hit the second of consecutive jumpers to complete a 22-2 run that bridged the half, he high-stepped and high-fived his teammates as a bewildered Brown called timeout facing a 70-47 deficit.
"I still thought we had a chance, then the third quarter we just didn't get a stop, we didn't take a good shot," Brown said. "Everything was a jump shot and there you go. And they were phenomenal. They made everything. Jack was spectacular. ... They just handled us easily."
There were many culprits as the Bobcats' successful stretch of nine wins in 12 games ended with a thud.
Gerald Wallace, who had scored at least 25 points in the past three games, got into early foul trouble and finished with three points on 1-of-4 shooting. Raja Bell scored seven points on 3-of-9 shooting that included a 10-second sequence where he threw up an airball and was called for a flagrant foul. Felton shot 3-for-13.
Perhaps best describing the evening, as Wallace grabbed a drink before leaving the locker room an air freshener on top of the cooler crashed to the floor and barely missed hitting him.
"Everything is going wrong tonight," Wallace said.

I read the mixed reviews on this place and didn't know what to expect. It's a little tricky to find but once we got there (thanks to my fiancées greats sense of direction!) I began to think what on earth were people moaning about! This place's decor is awesome, with an amazing sixties feel and some really cool jazz music playing in the background, we were right at home. We decided to have tapas from the menu, which was beautiful. As we are 1 vegan and 1 veggie, the were enough options for us to share. The mushrooms with lemon and herbs are incredible! The staff are young, very polite and friendly and are willing to help any way they can, even if your French is as awful as ours! They all speak good English. The food is very well priced, 280 Dhs for all our tapas and a pint and 1/2 of beer! They also gave us good directions when we left as we asked where the nearest sheesha cafe was to finish off our evening. We loved every minute of it, and would recommend it to all cool people!! :-)

When a service member is discharged from the United States military, his release from duty is characterized into one of several categories. Categories of discharge include honorable, under honorable conditions, other than honorable, bad conduct and uncharacterized. Medical discharges generally fall into one of the first three categories. Service members discharged for medical reasons may be entitled to compensation from the military. However, if the discharge is not officially recorded as medical, the Department of Veterans Affairs cannot award benefits.
Things You'll Need
- Medical records supporting your claim
- Department of Defense Form 214
- Department of Defense Form 293
Gather your military and civilian medical records. Locate your Department of Defense Form 214 and look in Block 23 to determine which type of discharge you received. Every veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces is provided with a DD Form 214 upon discharge from the military.
Download DD Form 293 from the Defense Technical Information Center or the Army Publishing Directorate. If you are unable to download the form, contact the Department of Veterans Affairs office in your area for help.
Complete DD Form 293 in its entirety. Include your name, Social Security number and the date and characterization of your discharge.
Provide detailed information regarding the reason for your request in Block 6 of the DD Form 293. If you need more space, continue to write your reason in Block 13.
Write the types and names of documents you are attaching to support your request in Block 8. Include medical records that prove your condition and your DD Form 214 that proves the type of discharge you received.
Mail your completed DD Form 293 and all supporting documentation to the appropriate address as listed on Page 2 of the form. Each branch of the military has a unique address to which the form must be sent. Do not send the form to the Air Force, for example, if you served in the Army. Your branch will contact you when it receives your application and notify you if further action is necessary.
Tips & Warnings
- Do not include false information on the DD Form 293; you are required to furnish proof of every claim.
