R&D Accessibility and Regional Export Diversity R&D Accessibility and Regional Export Diversity R&D Accessibility and Regional Export Diversity
This paper examines the influence of accessibility to R&D on the regional diversity in Swedish export. A theoretical model with fixed R&D cost predicts that spatial knowledge spillovers generates external economies of scale in R&D activities and these external effects increase the innovative capacity in regions that have high accessibility to R&D. The model implies that the effects of R&D on regional export performance are reflected by the size of the export base rather than by the export volumes. The empirical analysis focus on three different indicators of export diversity; the number of exported goods, the number of exporting firms and the number of export destinations. The hypothesis that regional accessibility to R&D facilities in the private business sector, on the one hand, and university research departments on the other hand, increases the export diversity in regions is tested in cross-regional regression models. Since knowledge cannot be regarded as a spatially trapped resource the empirical analysis includes two measures of R&D accessibility; intra-regional and inter-regional. The empirical results indicate that the three indicators of regional export diversity are positively affected by the intra-regional accessibility to company R&D in commodity groups that have a relatively high R&D-intensity in production. Inter-regional accessibility to company R&D has significant positive impacts on the number of export goods and the number of export destinations also in less R&D-intensive industries. In the case of university R&D, the empirical results are weaker, in particular in the case of intra-regional accessibility. Yet, the inter-regional accessibility to university R&D has a significant positive impact on the number of export goods and the number of export destinations in the majority of commodity groups

Windows phone 7 could signal a return to form for Microsoft who for years have struggled with the unpopular and unwieldy Windows Mobile.
From the outset the OS appears extremely slick, smooth and attractive. Windows Phone 7 also seems to have taken heed of its rivals and incorporated a lot of what is best on both Android and iOS. The social networking capabilities of Android are present and so is the simplicity and ease of use of the iPhone.
During a short hands-on test it was clear immediately that Microsoft might have a genuine chance at challenging Apple. The iPhone's success lies in its user interface (UI) and App store, both of which are simple to use yet extremely powerful. Windows Phone 7 has a UI that is just as quick and straightforward as Apple's offering. Much of it is based on the operating system that powers the Zune, Microsoft's personal media player that remains unavailable outside the US
Rather than sticking strictly to the box-based application and icon system we now see on the majority of other mobile OSs, Microsoft has created a 3D-like effect for Windows Phone 7. Large text floats in the background which points to your position in the phone's menu system and sub sections are selected by scrolling left and right.
HTC have produced some great social networking and cloud integration for Android with their Sense UI. But getting the most out of Sense still drains battery and demands heavy data use. Microsoft say they have spent a long time making sure that Windows Phone 7 will go easy on the battery but it is difficult to be sure without spending more time with it.
Nearly all the applications and software on Windows Phone 7 are cloud-connected with contacts, photos and home screens constantly updating. Initially I found this a bit overwhelming as the phone book would appear unfamiliar as each contact's picture or status changes. However, once you realise how deep the social networking capabilities of the OS run, its potential becomes clear. Rather than feeling confusing the phone seems to develop a life of its own, as your contacts change so do the various applications and the home screen. This means each time you look at the phone it is never quite the same. This is a big risk for Microsoft: many people may enjoy the personalisation and life the OS provides but others may find it overly confusing and simply too social network heavy.
Despite all of Windows Phone 7's social networking bells and whistles it still seems to have strong business potential. The Office integration that I saw was pretty smooth. Simply put, Microsoft has made sure that anything typed on a computer can be edited with Windows Phone 7. The idea is to remove as many barriers between content generated on a computer and a phone as possible. One problem, however, is that there is little to separate the Office menus of the phone from the rest of the OS. It means that it is hard distinguish between the social networking sleekness of the rest of Windows Phone 7 and the what should be serious business side of Microsoft Office. This may be enough to put off those who are considering adopting Windows Phone 7 as a business-based mobile phone.
Microsoft have been strict about what can be done to Windows Phone 7 as well as the hardware it will run on. This should prevent some of the fragmentation and 'processor wars' currently going on with Android. At the moment any handset expected to run Windows Phone 7 will need to have at least 8GB of memory and a 5 Megapixel camera as well as all the usual smartphone staples such as GPS and an Accelerometer.
Perhaps best, however, is the control Microsoft have put in place regarding adapting and skinning Windows Phone 7. HTC may work magic with Android and their Sense UI but some of the lesser offerings from Sony or LG could do serious damage to Windows Phone 7's slickness. What is most likely is developers and manufacturers will make their mark on a handset by building apps that sit on the home screen rather than slowing the phone down with heavy UI changes.
It shouldn't be long now before we start seeing some of the many manufacturers associated with Windows Phone 7 showing off their handsets. From the looks of it Microsoft have built a genuine contender with Phone 7 and if the release hardware is up to scratch could have a shot at topping iPhone sales at Christmas.

Gold and the Girl (1925)
Directed by Edmund MortimerGenres - Action, Romance, Western | Sub-Genres - B-Western | Countries - USA |

Synopsis by Hans J. Wollstein
The Fox company, who championed Buck Jones as Western star Tom Mix's possible heir, began cutting back a bit with Gold and the Girl. Jones was popular enough, but by 1925, there was a glut on the market due to scores of cheaply made independent Westerns. This time around, Jones plays Dan Prentiss, a special undercover agent hired by a mining company to look into a series of gold-shipment robberies. On the job, Prentiss falls for lovely Ann Donald (Elinor Fair), whose uncle Sam (Alphonse Ethier) is the partner of outlaw leader Bart Colton (Bruce Gordon). The hero sets a trap for the villains, who, nevertheless, manage to flee into the hills. Sam, however, is wounded and commits suicide rather than face a jail sentence. Colton is apprehended, and Prentiss and Ann can enjoy a rosy future together. According to one reviewer, this substandard Jones Western was "produced economically and with a supporting cast that never supports."

3-29-10 The chilly conditions this weekend held the water temperature at 39 degrees. The flows to the Farmington River continued to run high this as the feeder streams continued to drain their spring runoff, and water from the dam continued to gush, narrowing any anglers preferred method to nymphing and fishing streamers. I had some success fishing tight to the banks with a Czech nymphing rig. I hooked what I thought to be an average brown on a #16 Golden Stonefly drifter near the bank in front of me. I fumbled to shed the gloves from my hands and free my camera as the fish ripped into my running line almost tearing the rod from my hand. When I gained control of the situation and realized this was no average fish, I quickly put the backbone of my 20+ yr old LLBean 5/6 to work. This rod coupled with 5x and chilly river temps made quick work of this trout and made for a great chance for me to admire and greatly appreciate the size and girth of this nice fish. Others that I came in contact with had some success also on big streamers. I continued to pull good numbers of size 16 Golden Stoneflies in my stream samples, along with tons of size 18-20 mayfly nymphs. Caddis larvae in all kinds of sizes still definitely have the largest presence on the stream bottom. Don't let the high water this time of year get you down, get out there and give it a whirl along the edges fishing with some small nymphs or streamers.

Water levels on Farminton River dropping.
3-24-10 The Farmington River continues to flow at obnoxious levels, however it is dropping. I checked the river this morning to find that most banks and every small island is still deeply submerged beneath the swift current. The small rivers, streams, and brooks that wash into the Farmington are receding and the flows should return to normal by this weekend. The water temperature has risen in the past few days to 40 degrees.
As the water level falls and fish return to their normal lies the nymphing and streamer fishing will pick up. Some good nymph choices are Golden Stonefly nymphs in sizes 12-16, Mayfly nymphs such as Hares Ear, and Pheasant Tails in sizes 14-20 to imitate the mayfly nymphs that are present on the stream bottom in the largest numbers.
For streamers you can't beat the Wooly Bugger this time of year while it resembles all sorts of large food organisms that trout depend on as their activity increases with the rising water temps. Dead drifted along the bottom this fly imitates stonefly nymphs, and can be quartered downstream and fished across the current making it look like a baitfish.
The best action on top will be stirred with Caddis pupa and Caddis dry flies in sizes 20-24, or Small Stonefly dries in sizes 14-18, there have been good numbers of the larger Stones active on the river. Whatever you choose to do, do it safely, and take precaution! Do not venture far from the bank in this high water, one false move and rescue units could be pulling you from the river.
Rainy days and high water, try fishing some nymphs.
3/13/10 When I got on the river the water temperature was a chilly 36 degrees. The rain and low water temps ensured that the winter/summer Caddis were a no go. However, the rain and high water made an excellent opportunity to nymph for trout. Two important things to remember when targeting trout with nymphs are to identify their food source, and to get your flies down. Identifying food source is important because it can certainly change drastically form one section of river to the next. You can and should do this each time you fish by just turning over a few rocks and inspecting the life underneath. So after turning some rocks over and sampling the streambed, I found the largest concentrations of macro organisms to include 20-22 green caddis larvae, and 16-18 mayfly nymphs. I like to fish these patterns tied from the bend of a larger, and heavier point fly with a 12" piece of tippet material. The point fly should be larger, and weighted to help get the "team" of flies to the bottom quickly. You can get your flies down with some split shot applied to the leader ahead of the point fly. Next time your on the water and find nothing apparently happening, two things you might try are turning over a few rocks and determining a trout's diet, or simply drifting some nymphs along the bottom.
"Slackwater Slackers"
The Stonefly mystery remains a mystery, these slack water fish continue to be slackers without the warmth of the sun to get some bugs in motion.
Farmington River Series Nov. 2009
November was a great month on the River with lots of big fish aggressively moving about as the spawn is on! I had a great month fishing on the bottom with nymphs. Some of my better producers were Isonychia nymphs in size 12-14, and the San Jaun worm tied on a #12 caddis hook weighted with wire.
There was a consistent hatches of Blue Winged Olives in smaller sizes #22-24. The bigger fish have been sitting in slack or slow rolling water and refusing a vast majority of dryflies, and eagerly take the emerging insects one right after the other. I had great success fishing tiny BWO wets as droppers, off a CDC parachute Blue Winged Olive. This method addresses the problem with bigger fish seemingly feeding stricktly on emergers.

Quantitative and Qualitative Research
Mohamed EL-AWADY
Professor of community medicine
Ain Shams University
It is a scientific way of answering questions and testing hypothesis.
The following terms are used interchangeably; research, approach and tradition.
It is the whole design including; assumptions, the process of inquiry, the type of data collected and the measuring of findings.
The quantitative approach views human phenomena as being amenable to objective study i.e. able to be measured. It has its roots in positivism
The following criteria should be fulfilled:
Data collection was structured and standardized. K. is measured questionnaire and P. by "structured observation schedule"
Data are analyzed by statistical tests.
As such approach tests whether variables are correlated or one affects another e.g. nutritional status and pressure ulcers, or factors related to tobacco use.
Some quantitative studies are inductive as they lead to formation of new questions ( generate new hypothesis )
However, the study is no less quantitative if a random representative sample is not used.
Not everything that can be counted counts and not everything that counts can be counted.
( Albert Einstein )
So, listening and observing may give more information than sending questions.
1- Exploration
2- Inductive approach
3- Interactive and Reflective
4- Holistic
5- Flexible
1-Exploration is the essential feature of qualitative approach in order to understand the perceptions and actions of participants.
Exploration is to discover new people, customs, and to learn from them.
Exploration is a difficult task that requires training and experience.
It should be inductive, interactive, reflexive and holistic.
2- Inductive approach:
The purpose of qualitative approach is to develop concepts and generates hypothesis. The researcher is open to ideas which emerge from listening or observing people.
The inductive approach is useful when little is known about the topics one wants to study.
3- Interactive and Reflexive process
To avoid bias in quantitative approach, the researchers try to study phenomena in a detached way.
In qualitative studies, researchers use interaction between them and participants to get closer to the topic under study. The researcher becomes an instrument of data collection. The researchers probe, facilitate, and note tone, hesitations and repetition in participants responses.
3- Interactive and Reflexive process (cont.)
There should be trust between participants and researchers.
The qualitative research should be reflexive i.e. examining not only what people say and do, but also why they say and do so.
4- Holistic exploration
In quantitative research, the researcher is constrained by a number of variables to be studied.
In qualitative research, participants are allowed to put their responses in context.
5- Flexible methods
Qualitative research relies on personal, intimate and private world of participants. So flexible, imaginative, creative and varied strategies are used to facilitate this process.
Data collection methods include; interviews, observations, group discussion, analysis of video recording, letters, diaries and other documents.
In quantitative research, data collection methods are constructed in advance.
1- Ethnograghy
2- Phenomenology
3- Discourse analysis
4- Grounded theory
1- Ethnography:is an approach relying on the collection of data in the natural environment. Ethnographers are interested in how the behavior of individuals is influenced or mediated by culture in which they live.
So, human behavior can only be understood if studied in the setting in which it occurs. As people can influence and be influenced by the groups they live in.
2- Phenomenology: It focuses on individuals' interpretation of their experience and the ways in which they express them.
The researchers task is to describe phenomena as experienced and expressed by individuals.
3- Discourse analysis:Discourse is a term used to describe the systems we use in communication with others. These include verbal, non-verbal and written material.
What we say, how we say it, our choice of words, tone, timing are full of values, meanings and intentions.
So, analysis of discourse increases our understanding of human behavior through language and interaction.
4- Grounded theory:It is an inductive approach to research whereby hypotheses and theories emerge out or are grounded in data.
1- explore patients' experience and behavior.
2- explore the experience and behavior of nurses and other health professionals.
3- evaluate intervention and services.
4- explore core concepts relevant to nursing and health.
1- It is anecdotal (stories told for dramatic quality without critical evaluation)
2- Unscientific
3- Producing findings that are not generalisable
4- Impressionistic
5- Subjective
Humans are both rational calculating beings…and they also operate on a deeper level of feelings, drivers and irrationality.
H. Mariampolski
By others it is; story telling, touchy – feely, biased, subjective, lacking reliability validity and generalisabilty.
1- To develop and enhance the validity of scales, questionnaire and tools.
2- To develop, implement and evaluate interventions.
3- To further explore or test the findings of one method.
4- To study different aspects of the same topics.
5- To explore complex phenomena from different perspectives.
6- To confirm or cross-validate data.
THANK YOU not as dichotomous but as various tools.

Eccentric contractions, the lengthening of muscle while producing force, are a common part of our everyday movements. This study presents a challenge to the accepted notion that eccentric work causes obligatory muscle injury while demonstrating that an increase in muscle strength, via eccentric work, can occur with little demand for oxygen. Nine healthy subjects, ages 18–34, were randomly placed in either an eccentric or a concentric training group. Both groups trained for 6 wk while progressively increasing training frequency and duration. Significant gains in isometric leg strength were seen in the eccentrically trained subjects only. While training, the oxygen consumption required to do the eccentric work was equal to or less than that required to do the concentric work. The results demonstrate that by progressively increasing the eccentric work rate, significant isometric strength gains can be made without muscle injury and with minimal increase in metabolic demand for oxygen. The potential clinical implications of an eccentric training program that uncouples skeletal muscle strength improvements from the demand for oxygen are alluring.
- concentric exercise
- oxygen consumption
- strength training
the classic textbook view of skeletal muscle as shortening while contracting, thus performing concentric (Con) work, has been broadened by the observations that activated muscles frequently produce force while being lengthened, thus performing eccentric (Ecc) work. This study was designed around two unique characteristics of Ecc muscular work,1) high tension/force production occurs despite 2) low demand for oxygen, to determine if strength can be increased with minimal oxygen requirement and without muscle injury.
When muscle produces force eccentrically, it can develop greater tension than when it contracts isometrically or concentrically (18-20). Indeed this increased tension or "overloading" of the muscle has been exploited to elicit increases in strength (17, 18,20). The oxygen cost of producing such high Ecc muscular forces is much lower than equal amounts of force produced concentrically (1, 3). Specifically, Bigland-Ritchie and Woods (3) reported that the oxygen requirement of submaximal Ecc cycling is only – of that for Con cycling at the same workload.1
Due in part to these high Ecc tension capabilities, there remains the common perception that Ecc muscle contractions necessarily cause muscle pain and injury (9, 14). Perhaps because of this established association between Ecc contractions and muscle injury, few studies have examined prolonged exposure to Ecc training and its effect on muscle injury and strength (12, 13).
Our interest in Ecc work was stimulated by the anecdotal and experimental (12) evidence that although an initial exposure to high Ecc work rates often produces muscle soreness, damage, and injury, gradually increasing Ecc work rates results in an attenuated response or eliminates the adverse responses completely. All evidence of muscle soreness, injury, and damage disappear and the muscles seem to adapt to the Ecc stress by becoming more "resistant" to it (2, 6, 8). The unique ability of Ecc contractions to produce high muscle tensions with reduced oxygen demand could be used for improving strength and function. This may be especially important for the elderly and/or cardiovascular impaired individuals who struggle to increase muscular mass and strength.
The purpose of this study is to address two specific questions.1) Can a chronic Ecc training technique (cycle ergometry) improve locomotor muscle strength without causing muscle injury? 2) Is it possible to demonstrate strength gains with Ecc training at energy intensities (measured as oxygen uptake) that have little to no functional impact on locomotor muscles trained concentrically? In an attempt to answer these questions, we compared Ecc and Con cycle ergometry in healthy individuals over a 6-wk training period. The Ecc work rates were designed to increase leg strength, yet not produce any muscle injury. As well, the Ecc work rates were designed to elicit equal or less oxygen consumption (V˙o 2) compared with the Con work.
Subjects. Nine healthy subjects 18–34 (mean 21.5) years old were assigned at random to one of two exercise training groups: 1) an Ecc cycle ergometer, two males (1 sedentary, 1 regular moderate exerciser) and two females (1 regular moderate exerciser, 1 competitive triathlete), or 2) traditional Con ergometer, two irregularly exercising males and three light exercising females.
Ecc ergometer. An Ecc ergometer was constructed locally with the power train of a standard Monarch cycle ergometer. The Ecc ergometer has an adjustable recumbent seat. It is driven by a three-horsepower direct current (DC) motor with four idlers between the motor and the flywheel. The gear ratio from the flywheel to the pedal crank is 1:3.75. All components are mounted to a steel frame. A DC motor controller, with a 0- to 10-V output for both motor speed and load, controls the motor speed and a magnetic sensor monitors pedal rpm (which is displayed to the rider during the training session). The voltage and amperage outputs from the controller are monitored through an analog-to-digital board and dedicated computer. The ergometer was calibrated by using the original standard ergometers friction band and applying known loads (via weights) as the motor moved the flywheel in a forward direction at a fixed rpm and reading the amperage/voltage of the motor. Therefore, for a fixed load and rpm, the calibration performed in the forward direction also served to calibrate the reverse direction of the flywheel. Hence, the Ecc work rate was maintained by the subject resisting the pedal motion at a fixed rate.
Training regimen. Both the Ecc and Con groups trained for 6 wk with a progressively increasing frequency and duration of training (and a pedal rpm of 50–60). During the first week each group trained two times for 10–20 min. Both groups then exercised three times during the 2nd wk for 30 min and finally five times per week for 30 min during the 3rd–6th wk. During the first 4 wk, the Ecc group began with threefold greater work rates than the Con group. During the 5th wk, work rates were adjusted in an attempt to equalize V˙o 2 between the groups.
Isometric strength measurements. To assess skeletal muscle strength changes, maximal voluntary isometric strength produced by the knee extensors was measured with a Cybex dynamometer before and after (2–3 days) training as well as weekly during the 6-wk training period. The subject's knee was positioned in 45° of flexion for each of three maximal voluntary isometric trials, the average of which was recorded. This test provided an assessment of both muscle strength and muscle injury (detectable as loss of muscle force production) that may have occurred (10).
V˙ o 2.V˙o 2 was measured one time a week while training during weeks 4–6 with the use of an open spirometric system with the subjects wearing a loose-fitting mask. Air was drawn through the mask at a flow of ∼500 l/min by a shop vac. Excurrent oxygen was measured during steady-state exercising with an Ametek oxygen analyzer, and flow was measured with a Venturi flowmeter. The system was calibrated after each session by nitrogen bleed (11).
Lower extremity soreness. A visual analog scale (VAS), a valid and reliable pain measurement (4), was used to determine the perception of lower extremity muscle soreness. Each subject was queried before and after the 6-wk training period and before each training session as to their leg pain. They responded by placing a mark on a vertical 14-cm scale anchored by word descriptors (0 = no leg pain, 14 = worst possible leg pain).
Rating of perceived exertion. We asked each subject during each training session to report a rating of perceived exertion for their total body exertion as well as specific leg exertion. A Borg RPE scale (6–20 rating) (22) was used as a self-monitoring tool.
Statistical analysis. A two-way ANOVA was used to assess the strength and RPE effects of weeks of training and individuals for each group (Ecc and Con). Where significant differences were noted, a Bonferroni's pairwise multiple comparison post hoc test was performed. In all cases the α level of significance was set at 0.05.
Ecc cycle ergometry training started at a threefold higher work rate than the Con group, and this work rate difference increased to a sevenfold difference by the 6th wk. During this training period, however, the oxygen requirement to do this Ecc work was less than or equal to the Con training oxygen requirement (Fig.1 C).
During the first 2–3 wk of Ecc cycle ergometry, leg pain as noted on the 14-cm VAS (Fig.2 A) was minimal and there was no change in leg strength (Fig.2 B). During this time period the total work rate in the Ecc group was greater (∼3-fold) than the Con group, but the oxygen requirements to do this Ecc work were lower (Fig.1 C). The perceived exertion of the legs by the Ecc group, as measured by the RPE, was significantly higher than the Con group during the 1st wk, but no differences in leg or body exertion were noted thereafter (Fig. 1,A andB).
After the 3rd wk leg discomfort was absent in all subjects (Fig.2 A). Coupled with this were significant isometric leg strength increases of 33% in the ECC group during the 6th wk and a 27% increase at the posttraining (2–3 days) time periods. No significant improvements in Con strength were noted at any time period (Fig. 2 B). There were significant differences in the isometric strength results between subjects within each group, but no interaction effects of subjects × weeks.
This study was designed to examine two questions related to Ecc training. First, if both the Ecc and Con groups train at equal levels (thus the Ecc group would be working at higher work rates) could strength improvements be made at very low oxygen demand? Second, could Ecc training intensities be managed specifically to minimize muscle injury and discomfort during the early weeks of training, thereby allowing high training intensities to follow without injury? To probe these questions, we progressively ramped the work rates and set a work rate target based on a conservative estimate of the established uncoupling of Ecc work and V˙o 2(compared with an equal amount of Con work and theV˙o 2).
The results of this study demonstrate that if the Ecc work rate is ramped up during the first 4 wk and then maintained for at least 2 wk, strength gains can be made with minimal muscle soreness and without muscle injury as noted by the VAS and no loss in leg strength at any time during this study.2On the contrary, leg strength increased significantly in the Ecc group. Progressive ramping of the Ecc work rate prevented nearly all of the "typical" or expected muscle injury and eliminated all muscle soreness associated with the first few weeks of Ecc training. Despite efforts to equalize the exercisingV˙o 2 by altering the work rates, Ecc was less than Con throughout 5 wk of training and not equalized until the 6th week; gains in leg strength were noted with the Ecc training group, whereas no strength changes occurred in the Con group. We do not believe there was a significant learning effect with the repeated strength tests, as the Con group did not show any significant improvement in strength on the Cybex. These significant improvements in strength in the Ecc group occurred despite the significant differences in strength results between subjects in the Ecc group. We purposely recruited a heterogenous group of subjects, and we predicted the variable strength response would occur. This variability in strength improvements coupled with a significant group effect, however, suggests the effect of a strength increase in the Ecc group was quite robust. We expect that with a larger sample size and/or more homogenous groups, the variability within groups would lessen and the strength effect would be more pronounced. Variability in the Ecc measures (note larger error bars in the Ecc vs. Con measures) may reflect differing individual adaptations to the novel Ecc training.
There have been relatively few studies documenting the effectiveness of Ecc-specific exercises for increasing muscular strength. In 1972, Komi and Buskirk (20) reported greater tensions and increases in strength with Ecc resistance exercise compared with Con exercise. Other Ecc-only strength training studies (17, 18, 20) demonstrate that 6–13 wk of Ecc-only training can lead to improvements in Con, isometric, and Ecc strength. Likewise, training that combined Con and Ecc resulted in greater strength gains than training only in a Con fashion over an 8- to 12-wk period (5, 7). In contrast, Jones and Rutherford (19) failed to detect strength gains with resistive Ecc exercise. The studies that reported no improvements in strength did report, however, marked incidence of muscle damage and postexercise pain compared with Con or isometric resistance exercise, reinforcing the conclusion that the Ecc work leads to muscle injury.
Overall, however, chronic training programs that emphasize resistive Ecc loading have reinforced the notion that repetitive bouts of Ecc exercise do result in strength increases. This is not surprising, because the production of muscular force above the levels used in normal everyday activities (overloading) is a major stimulus for strength increases (23). What is intriguing is that these high forces and strength gains are made despite Ecc contractions having the lowest energy consumption per unit of tension exerted (3).
The mechanism by which the skeletal muscle adapts to Ecc contractions remains unclear. Repeated bouts of Ecc exercise result in an adaptation in the muscle such that it is more resistant to subsequent bouts of intense Ecc exercise (the "repeated bout effect") (6, 8). Typically, after the first Ecc bout there is a prolonged loss in muscle strength and range of motion, a dramatic increase in muscle proteins in the blood, and the development of muscle soreness, all taken as indicators of muscle injury. However, after a repeated bout of the same exercise performed (3 days–10 wk later), the recovery of strength and range of motion occur significantly faster than that found after the first bout, soreness development is less, and muscle protein increases in the blood are blunted. Possible explanations for the apparent protective effect of repeated Ecc exercises are that weak areas of certain muscle fibers are eliminated after the initial bout (2), a more resilient structure is formed (21), or there are changes in the recruitment of motor units with subsequent exposures to Ecc contractions (15).
In response to chronic Ecc ergometry training, Friden et al. (14) noted that the muscle ultrastructure was well preserved and it underwent "regenerative activity," making it possible for the muscle fibers to adapt to and defend against the potentially damaging tension occurring during ECC contractions. Friden reported severe muscle soreness early in the training study, which differs from our study, and he did not report the energy expenditure required to do the Ecc work, nor did he compare Ecc to Con ergometry. Although Friden's protocol was a bit variable, profound functional changes occurred over the 8 wk of Ecc cycling, as the subjects increased their Ecc work capacity by 375% (12).
We feel the strength enhancements with Ecc training in our study, with very minimal cardiac demand, may have profound clinical applications. Despite improvements in strength and muscle mass with high-intensity resistance training in healthy elderly, many with cardiovascular disease cannot exercise at intensities sufficient to improve skeletal muscle mass and function (16). Exercise intensity in this population is often severely limited by the inability of the cardiovascular system to deliver adequate oxygen to fuel muscles at levels significantly above resting. For many elderly patients, the symptom-inducing metabolic limits have been estimated as low as 3 METS (16), which is equivalent to Con cycling at ∼50 W on an ergometer. Such work rates may be insufficient to adequately stress muscle and prevent muscle atrophy and the concomitant functional decline. In this preliminary study we purposely tested heterogeneous groups of subjects anticipating the potential for the clinical utility of Ecc exercise with populations (patients) that tend to be very heterogeneous. Our long-term goal is to develop an Ecc skeletal muscle training paradigm that could be used in clinical settings to deliver greater stress to locomotor muscles (workloads exceeding 100 W), without severely stressing the oxygen delivery capacity of the cardiovascular system. This group of patients with, e.g., chronic heart failure and/or obstructive pulmonary disease etc., could maintain their muscle mass and potentially even experience an increase in muscle strength during their exercise rehabilitation. In this manner, one problem (cardiovascular limitation) may not have to escalate into two (cardiovascular limitation and skeletal muscle deterioration) for this population.
Ecc ergometry in normal healthy subjects produced isometric leg strength improvements while training at exercise intensities (V˙o 2) that did not promote strength increases concentrically. The strength improvements, noted by the 6th wk of Ecc training, occurred despite the Ecc training requiring the same (or less) V˙o 2. Likewise, the progressive Ecc training did not produce any muscle injury and only very little muscle soreness.

↵1 Note that because work is force × displacement, it is a product of two vectors. When distance is in the opposite direction of the force generated, work is "negative." Here we use the term work independent of the sign to designate the force generated by the muscle × the distance the muscle shortens or lengthens.
↵2 Note that no direct measures of muscle damage, i.e., histological changes or creatine kinase activity, were made, because we were concerned with muscle function or lack of function (isometric strength loss), which provides the most valid measure of the totality of the injury (10).

recently had root canal and continue to have pain. Taking Advil only weakened the pain for a little over an hour. Doctor gave me Vicodin (before the root canal to control the pain level until appointment). I took a Vicodin but it has only kept the pain away for about 2 1/2 hours. Can I take them together to get more hours of relief until I am able to get back to the doctor?
If Vicodin is not helping my tooth pain, can I also use Advil in conjunction with it?

President Muhammadu Buhari has approved a comprehensive relief package valued at over N400bn to put an end to the lingering crisis of unpaid workers' salaries in the country.
Vanguard gathered that a three-pronged relief package that will end the workers plight include:
- The sharing of about $2.1b (N413.7bn) in fresh allocation between the states and the federal government. The money is sourced from recent LNG proceeds to the federation account, and its release okayed by the president;
- A Central Bank-packaged special intervention fund that will offer financing to the states, ranging from between N250bn to N300bn. This would be a soft loan available to states to access for the purposes of paying backlog of salaries;
- And a debt relief program proposed by the Debt Management Office, DMO, which will help states restructure their commercial loans currently put at over N660bn, and extend the life span of such loans while reducing their debt-servicing expenditures.

The Wardens' Blog @ 3 March
On Wednesday there was a fire in the church. A controlled fire, but real flames, as last year's palm crosses were burnt. The ash produced was applied to the foreheads of those who attended the short service to mark the beginning of Lent.
The Bishop of Guildford has come up with some useful ideas on transforming Lent this year. You can find them online or in a small brochure in the church vestibule.
We have changed the altar frontals and given the flower arrangers six weeks off as the church moves into Lentern mode. But the Sunday services in Lent are not all gloom and doom. There is real joy in the message of the cross (we call it Good Friday after all). That joy rings out in the hymns, songs and the preaching. God tells us that if we confess our sins he will faithfully keep his promise and, through the death of the Lord Jesus Christ, will cleanse us and forgive us from all sin. That should light a fire in your heart and transform Lent!

"An Evening with Pacino" will explore the myriad highlights of one of the most celebrated careers in acting history, from his time off-Broadway in the 60's right up to the present day, with the actor himself, in intimate theatre surrounds.
The evening will include an on-stage interview projected on a large screen, bringing the action even closer to the audience. This very special event will also give audience members a rare chance to speak directly to Pacino in an audience question and answer session.
Al Pacino
Hollywood icon Al Pacino has created some of the most indelible character portrayals in cinema history, starring in over forty films including; The Godfather Trilogy, Dog Day Afternoon, Serpico, Scent of a Woman, Sea of Love, Dick Tracy, Heat, Scarface, Any Given Sunday, Donnie Brasco, Angels in America and most recently You Don't Know Jack and Phil Spector for HBO.
He is an eight-time Academy Award nominee and an Oscar Award winner for his performance in Scent of a Woman.

I recently wrote a post asking why people hate babies on planes. I wrote this post in response to seeing some incredibly hateful and self centered comments on articles about travel with children across the internet. It was a breathe of fresh air when the people who commented on my article were moderate and understanding. Yes, not everyone likes flying with babies on the plane, but at least my readers are not on the "ban all children and flog their parents" band wagon. So, thank you readers.
But when reading comments across the internet, one particular sentiment stood out for me.
"I want to know what the hell you're doing bringing your infant child on a plane in the first place.
If it's a vacation, your child isn't going to remember it.
If it's for business, the child shouldn't be coming along anyway.
If it's a funeral, a family visit, anything sentimental at all, the child still won't remember it.
You could have easily left the child in the hands of someone else. Your desire to go somewhere or show the child something are no reason to, without any sensible reason, bring the infant somewhere that will inconvenience others.
The same can be said of parents who bring said infants to public places that others go to enjoy themselves – restaurants being a big thing here. Your child does nothing except lower the enjoyment that other people are paying for."
This type of attitude is the one that really gets me annoyed. It's the type of attitude that says "you are selfish if something you do annoys me or inconveniences me in any way." The type of person who has this attitude is the type of person who has decided that they are going to dislike something, and no amount of positive experiences are going to make them change their mind. These are the type of person who gave Dan and I dirty looks as we boarded the plane with our infant soon AND still gave us dirty looks as we disembarked after a five hour flight where our baby didn't even make a peep.
These are the type of people that need to learn to get over themselves a little bit. It is impossible to go through life and not be annoyed or inconvenienced by something and having this sort of negative attitude will only set you up to be upset and miserable with everyone around you. Everyone is different and unique. This means that everyone is going to be annoyed or feel inconvenienced by different things. Is it the rest of the human population's job to worry about what might set you off when in a public place, or is it your responsibility to be lenient and understanding when in public situations?
And then there is this argument…
"Parents who travel with toddlers do it only for selfish reasons. The simple truth is that children at very young age can't appreciate what their parents are doing…Small kids enjoy being with their relatives, but not too far from home and their culture."
This attitude simply doesn't make sense to me either.
Do babies remember their parents cuddling and kissing them? NO
Do babies remember their parents singing and talking to them? NO
Do babies remember being read to or playing with toys? NO
So why don't we just lock babies into a dark room with no interaction and stimulation…. cause I mean… they won't even remember it right?
I mean ask yourself this. Why do we buy developmental toys for babies and toddlers, put on baby Einstein videos, and read books to them? It's because every time a babies brain is stimulated in a new way it creates an opportunity for the brain to grow and develop new neural connections. The final number of brain connections that children develop is linked with their early experiences.
So then let me ask you this… How is exposing my son to different languages, different styles of dress and textiles, different toys, different foods and tastes selfish? If anything, it is selfless as every new experience he has will be causing his little brain to build even more and even more elaborate brain connections. Hopefully this will set him up to be a well rounded, curious, and objective human being later in life.
Sure, he won't remember being sung to in Albanian by our guest house owner, but during that lullaby brain connections were being formed.
He won't remember sharing frog legs with Daddy in Bulgaria, but those new flavours were helping develop his little brain.
He won't remember playing in the snow in Iceland, but that was an experience he wouldn't never have gotten at home in Australia.
Yes, Dan and I love travel and we hope to share that love with our child, but I disagree that taking our son along on our journey is harmful or selfish in any way.

Nov. 11, 2011
BOCA RATON, FL - Florida Atlantic University men's basketball head coach Mike Jarvis has signed two players to National Letters of Intent.
Chris Bryant (Tallahassee, FL/Fishburne Military Academy) was one of the most sought after recruits in the country after helping Rickards High School to back-to-back 3A state titles. Bryant was named 3A Player of the Year as a senior. He elected to do a year of postgraduate work at Fishburne.
"Chris is a top 100 player and deservedly so because he's very good," said Coach Jarvis of Bryant. "He's 6'8" with a seven-foot wingspan and can run and jump. He's learning some valuable lessons on and off the court (at Fishburne). He could have gone to a bigger school, but with the help of his coaches (at Rickards and Fishburne) he picked a school he could excel at.
Stefan Moody (Kissimmee, FL/Poinciana High School) was a double digit scorer as a junior. He drew rave reviews for his play at a Las Vegas tournament over the summer as a part of Team Breakdown, the same program that produced current FAU guard Raymond Taylor.
"(Stefan Moody) is someone I would pay to watch play. He has a 44-inch vertical leap, can dunk and is also a great defender. He will be worth the price of admission alone," said Coach Jarvis. "He's he kind of player that will excite coaches as well as fans."
"Both kids we have signed play hard and are winners. With our style of play, they should both thrive in our program."
The Owls open the 2011-12 regular season on Saturday against Portland at 2:30 p.m.

Shay I just tried to leave a comment but I'm not sure it 'took', so I'm trying again...
Love the zentangles and yes, doodling is very meditative. After reading your post, I'm thinking a great way to start every day would be with a little painting and a little doodling, before getting caught up in other things.

Deborah - I so agree about it being a great first thing to do. I usually get caught up in something else first, but want to try to change that:)

I never heard of Zentangles, but yours is the second reference to them I've seen today, so I got curious. I've been doing doodles very similar to this all my life- mostly in college classes when I was bored! Who knew?

Thanks Tatting Chic!
Sharmon I know exactly what you mean - I have doodled in a similar way which is probably why I enjoy them so much. Have you tried them?

Exhibition: Albert Kahn: Under Construction
27th February - 3rd July 2016, University of Michigan Museum of Art, Michigan, USA
The exhibition Albert Kahn: Under Construction will be at the University of Michigan Museum of Art, between February 27 and July 3, 2016.
"In the past two decades there has been a tremendous swell of interest in Detroit architect Albert Kahn (18691942), arguably the most important architect of American industrialization. Albert Kahn: Under Constructionfocuses on the remarkable archive of photographs assembled by Albert Kahn Associates while building the powerhouses of American industry, from the River Rouge complex to the Willow Run Bomber Plant. Shot by an array of professional photographers based mainly in Detroit, these often striking documentary images were a novel strategy for conveying information about the daily progress of construction to busy managers at the main office. The exhibition foregrounds the photographic series as a way of illustrating change over timeshowing buildings as they grew on siteand Kahns innovative solutions to the architectural challenges of his day."
