Autism Linked to Mom's DiabetesPosted: Sunday, April 15, 2012
Mothers who are obese or who have diabetes appear to be more likely to have children with neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism.
According to Paula Krakowiak, MS, a PhD candidate at the MIND Institute at the University of California Davis, and colleagues, maternal obesity was associated with greater odds of the offspring receiving a diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder (OR 1.67, 95% CI 1.10 to 2.56) or a developmental delay (OR 2.08, 95% CI 1.20 to 3.61) by age 5. A combination of maternal metabolic conditions was associated with a range of impairments in the children's development, the researchers reported.
Susan Hyman, MD, of the University of Rochester in Rochester, N.Y., who is the chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics' autism subcommittee, called the findings provocative. Although the observational study could not prove causal relationships, Hyman said the findings suggest that maternal metabolic disorders are contributing causes to autism and other developmental disorders.
Roughly one in every 88 children has an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), according to a recent estimate from the CDC, and one in every 83 has another developmental delay.
Hyman also said that if maternal metabolic conditions are adding to the burden of autism, it is likely a small contribution. She noted that other factors related to obesity that were not captured in the database could be involved in the relationships. She added that mothers of children with disabilities often scrutinize everything they did, ate, and were exposed to during their pregnancy to try to find an explanation.
But, she said, "At the time of your child's diagnosis, that's all ancient history. What you have to concentrate on is what you can do, what are effective interventions ... being proactive and changing what you can change is really what research is all about. It's not about pointing fingers."
Krakowiak agreed, noting that the study is preliminary and cannot prove cause and effect; it is possible there are other factors involved that independently affect obesity and autism. "So I would definitely not want moms to feel guilty for having any one of these conditions, and that being a cause of their child's disorder," she said.
The exact cause of autism has not been identified, but both genetics and environmental factors are believed to be involved. Previous studies have identified an association between diabetes during pregnancy and general developmental impairments in the offspring, although research examining the relationship with autism has yielded mixed results.
To further explore issue, Krakowiak and colleagues turned to the CHARGE (Childhood Autism Risks from Genetics and the Environment) study, an ongoing case-control study of children born in California. The current analysis included 1,004 children ages 2 to 5 -- 517 with an autism spectrum disorder, 172 with other developmental delays, and 315 with typical development.
All of the children were evaluated using the Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL) and the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS), which assessed cognitive and adaptive development, respectively. The specific metabolic conditions assessed among the mothers were obesity, hypertension, and diabetes (either gestational diabetes or type 2 diabetes) during pregnancy.
All three of the metabolic conditions were more frequent among the mothers of children with an ASD or other developmental delay. Combined, the rates were 28.6% for mothers of children with an ASD, 34.9% for mothers of children with a developmental delay, and 19.4% for mothers of typically developing children.
After adjustment for sociodemographics and other factors, mothers who had one of the three conditions were more likely to have a child diagnosed with an ASD (OR 1.61) or developmental delay (OR 2.35).
Maternal hypertension alone was not related to either outcome, and maternal diabetes was associated with greater odds of having a child with a developmental delay (OR 2.33), but not autism. Maternal obesity was associated both with ASD and developmental delay among the children.
Among the children with an ASD, maternal diabetes was associated with "relatively small" impairments in expressive language. Among the children without an ASD, the combination of maternal conditions was associated with a wide range of deficits in cognition and adaptive development.
Although a case-control study cannot prove cause and effect, there are some possible mechanisms to explain a relationship between maternal metabolic conditions and a child's neurodevelopment, according to Hyman.
Maternal glucose, but not insulin, can cross the placenta. If the mother has elevated levels of glucose, the fetus will have to produce more insulin. The increased oxygen demand that results can induce intrauterine tissue hypoxia. Poorly regulated maternal glucose could also result in iron deficiency in the fetus. Both hypoxia and iron deficiency can harm the developing brain.
An alternate explanation is that the proinflammatory cytokines present in mothers with metabolic conditions may impair fetal neurodevelopment.
Hyman said all of these explanations are hypothetical and need to be studied further.
"I think that we have to look at this as a call to our society that there are multiple implications of the obesity epidemic that we need to consider, and that we need to be proactive in what we can do," she said. "What we can do is we can eat healthy and exercise, and this is a positive suggestion for change. There are so many things we can't change. We can change this."

Artisan: Ana Art Group
The fair-trade network Handmade Expressions started working with the Ana Art Group after being contacted by a young girl who explained that her family and members of the community make jewelry similar to what was sold by Handmade Expressions. She expressed concerns that they were being mistreated by their current employers, and hoped that Handmade Expressions could bring some fair employment and hope for a better future. After meeting with the family and representatives from the community, the network was reminded of the reason why they continue to support fair trade: to provide help to those who need it the most.
Ana Art Group is proof positive that big change starts small. What began as a small and primarily female artisan group working from tiny, congested work spaces in Old Delhi, is now a large community with an increase in education opportunities and improvements in health and environmental impacts to working conditions.
In three years, with the help of Handmade Expressions, the Ana Art Group has grown from 15 members to 100. Wages have also increased with family income about 20-25% higher than standard for artisan work in their area, and allow flexible work schedules and paid time-off. The increase in wages and community growth is due to the sustainable and continuous work the artisans have received, allowing them to fulfill basic requirements for a decent standard of living.
In regional communities, children commonly enter the work force after the fifth grade to help support the family. The success of the Ana Art Group and counseling provided by SETU has allowed the community to keep their children, boys and girls alike, in school, raising the average literacy rates of the entire community. Seeing the promises of a better life through their children's education, the artisans have even arranged night classes for themselves. For the first time, members of the group are attending college, signifying a huge cultural shift in attitude towards the female's role in the community.

The bulletin of Atlanta University

Number 178 Atlanta, Georgia January, 1908 INAUGURATION DAY Tuesday, the 31st of December, was a notable day in the history of Atlanta University. It was the occasion for the formal inauguration as third president of this institution of Edward Twichell Ware, the son of Edmund Asa Ware, the founder and first president. The morning was appropriately given to exercises in memory of the father, the afternoon to installation exercises. We wish that every friend of Atlanta University might have been present to share in the impressive and inspiring exercises of this day. The occasion brought to Atlanta University many of the graduates, all of whom were eager to pay tribute to the memory of the first president and to express their hearty interest and earnest co-operation in the work of this institution under the administration of the third president. From hundreds of friends who could not be present expressions of congratulation were received. Memorial Exercises The day was one of ideal beauty, following anight of storm; the air was crystal clear and the sun shone warm and bright. An eager and responsive audience gathered in Ware Memorial Chapel at ten o'clock in the morning to take part in the memorial exercises. Ex-President Bumstead presided and there were a few brief addresses by those who had known and worked with the first president. During the eighteen years of his service for the Negroes in Atlanta the influence of his life and character upon his pupils and co-workers was so great its power is felt in their lives today. On the campus in front of Stone Hall there is a simple granite boulder which marks the place where the first president lies buried. On the boulder is the following inscription: "The graduates of Atlanta University have brought this boulder from the native town of President Ware in Massachusetts and placed it here on Georgia soil over the spot where his earthly remains lie buried, in grateful memory of their former teacher and friend and of the unselfish life he lived and the no- ble work he wrought, that they, their children, and their children's children might be blessed." At the conclusion of the memorial exercises in the chapel, led by the Senior marshal the school marched from the building on to the campus and formed in a large hollow square about the Memorial boulder. One of the students chosen as bugler sounded taps. President Ware placed a wreath of galax leaves upon the boulder marking his father's grave. One of the Senior Normal students recited the inscription in a clear strong voice. Rev. Chas. Cuthbert Hall, D. D., led in prayer most beautifully and impressively. The whole company sang an old time resurrection song, "My Lord What a Mourning," Throughout these exercises the chapel bell tolled. Thus in the most impressive manner the exercises of the morning concluded. It was a scene which no one who witnessed could ever forget. The Inauguration In the afternoon the inauguration took place, President Chas. Cuthbert Hall, D. D., of Union Seminary, New York, the vice-president of the Board of Trustees of Atlanta University, presiding. The program was as follows: Academic Procession. Chorus—The Processional, "Athalie," Mendelssohn Invocation, Rev. George Standing Address and Presentation of the Keys and Charter, by the Vice-President of the Board of Trustees, Rev. Charles Cuthbert Hall, D. D., Of Union Theological Seminary Address on behalf of the Trustees, Professor Thomas N. Chase, A. M. Address on behalf of the Alumni, Rev. Joseph E. Smith Address on behalf of Sister Institutions, President James G. Merrill, D. D., Of Fisk University Chorus, from "The Holy City," Gaul Address, Chancellor David C. Barrow, C. E., M. E., Of the University of Georgia Charge to the President, Rev. Horace Bumstead, D. D. Response and Inaugural Address, By the President Hymn. Benediction. The academic procession, led by the marshal of the Senior class, proceeded in the following order: first, the cho- rus of one hundred and fifty students, who took seats arranged for them at the north side of the chapel. The Senior Normal and Senior College classes fol-fowed, the latter in cap and gown. After them came the faculty and teachers, the representatives of other institutions, the speakers, the ex-president and the president. We regret that we have not space in this issue for a full report of all the addresses on this occasion, but we print the charge of ex-President Bumstead and the inaugural address. Most impressive was the occasion when, at the conclusion of his charge, the ex-president grasped the young man who succeeds him by the hands, thus symbolically conferring upon the son the charge which he by a like symbol had received from the father twenty-two years before. The Charge By Ex=President Horace Bumstead President Ware :—I am commissioned to deliver to you a charge as you formally enter upon the presidency of Atlanta University. It is an agreeable task that is assigned me— all the more agreeable because of its comparative needlessness. For if I felt that you were in need of the words of counsel I am about to utter, or that you would not give them ready acceptance, I should speak with a misgiving that would be far from agreeable. But such is not the case today. At the outset I bear in mind that you are entering upon the presidency of an institution which is characterized by certain high ideals, and these I charge you to cherish, maintain, and defend. TRUTH AS AN IDEAL One of these ideals is Truth. What is truth—asked Pilate. That is the question which numerous institutions of learning have for ages been trying to answer. And they have answered it—never fully but with an ever increasing fulness and never more fully than today. They have been teaching man to know himself, to know the world in which he lives, to know the universe of which his world is only a little part, and to know the God over and in man, the world and the universe. In all this they have been trying to discover and teach the truth. And these institutions to which I refer have sought and taught the truth because they believed that in and of itself the truth Continued on page 2

CNET editors choose the best 802.11ac networking devices, including wireless routers.
Samsung's midprice Series 5 UltraTouch looks and feels like a more expensive machine, but keeps it simple by skipping the complex hybrid mechanics of so many new Windows 8 systems.
Despite solid hardware, great battery life, and fast startup, we can't recommend the Samsung Chromebook Series 5 until and unless Google improves the Chrome OS.
The 4-pound Samsung Series 5 isn't as light and portable as some slim 14-inch laptops, but this AMD-powered version can be found at a significant discount if you shop around.
This midprice slim laptop gets a new body, plus a touch screen and backlit keyboard.
The 85-inch member of this billionaire-level TV series has been out for awhile, and we know most of the details already: $40,000 price tag, 4K resolution, crazy easel-type stand, Now the 110-inch size is official, and it costs $150,000.
Formerly the Samsung Series 9, the rebranded Ativ Book 9 got little more than a change in name; the laptop feels dated, as it lacks a touch screen and the benefits of newer Intel processors.
At launch, the new Intel SSD 730 Series makes a very good internal drive choice for your computer, but it'll become a better value when its street price drops below the current suggested retail price.
Pricing not available
The Samsung F7100 series offers a gorgeous design and impressive features, but "just OK" picture quality makes it a poorer value than its rivals.
Although its picture quality falls short of the competition, the Samsung UNF6300's high-end features and design for a midrange price will win plenty of converts.
Despite excellent all-around picture quality, the Samsung UNF9000 4K TV offers almost no improvement over cheaper 1080p TVs that cost much less.

I have very thin hair and rather short. I'm not pulling any of my own hair through and the look is great. Wore it in to my stylist to have it shortened (she also wears wigs) and she love it, the color, the texture, mono top it is very natural and a very attractive style. I bought a second one and hope they never stop making this wig. I love it!!! Is super comfortable, I can wear it from morning till night and it is so comfy, hardly notice you have it on, lighter and cooler than my other wigs. I won't buy anything else from now on.

I purchased this volumizer when I couldn't find a curlier version. One of my stylist friends trimmed the back to fall into a straighter perimeter. I suggest this piece be washed once first, as it's a bit too shiny out-of-the-box. I keep this look for fun & funky days!

Awesome-BUT, Discontinued
By Hoosier Gal
from Indiana
Love, love, love, unfortunately, I was advised when I tried to reorder that it was discontinued! My hair is thinning but most wigs have too much hair and don't look natural. This is the perfect solution and the mono top looks so natural. A volumizer is so much cooler and lighter in weight than a full wig, this one was perfect. Please bring it back!!

This is an excellent choice for thinning hair and my only suggestion is to make this product with the fiber that be curled with ones own hair, that would make this "out of sight".

This piece was a perfect solution for my extremelythinning hair. It goes on easily and looks exactly like my own hair. I have back my confidence and don't know what I'll do if they stop making them. I even sleep with the piece on. It's lightweigt and my scalp can breathe through the wafts. I wish this piece was made with human hair so that I could use the curling iron on it. My natural hair is a little curly and this only comes in straight hair. I ordered a second one as backup.
Very nice
By maggie
from North Carolina
Really love this piece especially the openness under the hair to pull through your own or just leave it as is....Too long for me though, would love to see this same style in a shorter version.Also would like to see it in an average size, petite was a bit snug across forehead. Would have to get it trimmed shorter if I could find a stylist to do this.But really liked the construction as I have hair in back and sides and have to have air to keep me from sweating so much as in a previous wig I own.

Very Comfortable

Besides washing the wig, what other ways can you take out the shiny finish to make it look more natural?

Wayang workshop, Yogyakarta
Wayang workshop, Yogyakarta

Read more about Yogyakarta
Yogyakarta is nestled right in the heart of Java and is steeped in the rich culture and tradition that has been sidelined by modernity in some of the island's larger metropolises. That doesn't mean traffic jams, shopping malls and internet obsessions have left Yogyakarta unscathed, however concerted efforts by the local government, educators and the residents themselves have so far managed to spare Javanese tradition from falling under the bullet-train of progress.
Before we dive into a history lesson, let's clear up one point of confusion — Yogyakarta (the official spelling), Jogjakarta, Yogya and Jogja are all the same place. There's two different variants on the spelling and the locals also like to shorten the name. We're going with Yogya.
Back before the word Yogyakarta was even spelled at all, the area was home to Hindu, Buddhist and Animist dynasties during the 8th to 10th centuries. Gradually, the religious makeup of the area changed with the expansion of ... Read our complete Yogyakarta travel guide

Shoplifter shot at Wal-Mart
Published: Monday, April 23, 2012
Updated: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 22:07
An attempted shoplifting took a turn for the worse Friday afternoon at the College Station Wal-Mart, leaving one man dead.
According to a report by Rhonda Seaton of the College Station Police Department, detectives determined that 47-year-old Robertson County resident Michael Bradshaw attempted to leave the store with a shopping cart full of stolen merchandise. Loss-prevention officers made contact with Bradshaw and escorted him to the loss -prevention office.
In the office, Bradshaw struggled with employees and pulled a handgun from the pocket of his pants.
During the struggle, the handgun discharged, the round hitting a nearby filing cabinet. According to the report, a loss-prevention officer wrestled control of the gun, but Bradshaw pulled a knife and began approaching the officer. The officer then fired a shot at Bradshaw and hit him in the midsection.
Bradshaw was transported to the College Station Medical Center. He died at 8:16 p.m. on Friday.
Nate Benavidez, College Station resident and Blinn student, said Wal-Mart managers and police escorted customers outside and locked down the building.
"I was at the register and we heard two gun shots — they were really loud," Benavidez said. "We heard the shots and were basically frozen."
The report stated that the investigation is ongoing and more information will be released as it becomes available.
Wal-Mart management declined to comment about Friday's events.

Both Sides of the Fence
A Tosa resident since 1991, Christine walks the dog, cooks but avoids housework, writes and reads, and enjoys the company of friends and strangers. Her job takes her around the state, learning about people's health. A Quaker (no, they don't wear blue hats or sell oatmeal or motor oil), she has been known to stand on both sides of the political and philosophic fence at the same time, which is very uncomfortable when you think about it. She writes about pretty much whatever stops in to visit her busy mind at the moment. One reader described her as "incredibly opinionated but not judgmental." That sounds like a good thing to strive for!
Celebrating a life: shamrocks and soljes
The Norwegian solje pin commemorates special occasions. This is a wedding solje, given to a bride by her husband on the morning of her first day as a wife.
My mother, Doris, died on April Fool's Day, also the birthday of her oldest grandson, Casey. As deaths go, this was a good one: more about that later.
What isn't lost
Americans don't much like to talk about death. Which is odd, because it is both huge and universal. So I will write once more about my mother's dying.
What women really want (no boys allowed)
Let's face it: what women really want is jeans and bras that fit. Also swimming suits, but that may be beyond the realm of the possible.
If you haven't discovered zafu yet, you're in for a treat. It just takes a few minutes of answering questions about how clothes usually fit (too loose here, too tight there) and you'll get a report ranking your best fit brands in a whole range of prices.
Wasting our time: tonight's presidential debate
It's 45 minutes into the Democratic debate between Clinton and Obama, and not a single important question has been raised.
Instead, Charles Gibson and George Stephanopoulus have continued to grill the candidates about their ministers, their faulty recollections, and their failure to wear flag pins.
When words don't mean much
Liz and I were watching the news. The story was about preemptive reduction of cruising in the streets of Milwaukee--stopping it before anything bad actually happens. A police officer intoned seriously into the off-screen microphone, "The problem with cruising is that it leads to stopping."
We looked at each other and burst out laughing. That's sort of like saying, "The problem with life is that it leads to death." It's true, I guess, but what can you do with a comment like that?
Politics: write your own caption
I love this photo of Wauwatosa Mayor Jill Didier's swearing in. It's so . . . lively and unconventional. And it practically cries for inventive captioning.
Judge rescues woman from attackers
Child, husband, try to stop mom
The Grandmother Hypothesis
What are you supposed to do you do when you're not raising kids anymore, anyway? The easy answers to that question aren't always very satisfying, as I was reminded today listening to a Wisconsin Public Radio call-in show.

IS the winner the fastest athlete?

IS the winner the fastest athlete?
With a few days off from work and extra time on my hand, I could not resist the compelling question: who is the fastest athlete?
The current definition implies that it is the first person to cross the finish line after the starter fires the starting gun in any race. Let's limit our discussion to the 100 M and apply some thought provoking physics questions.
Is the person with the largest speed the fastest?
Does the person who maintains their top speed the longest the fastest?
Does the person who reaches his top speed in the shortest time (max acceleration) the fastest?
What is the delicate balance between maximum speed, maximum acceleration and speed endurance in the selection of the fastest athlete?
The answer to such question can easily be solved by the rigor of mathematics and sound scientific reasoning.
Let's use the result of the women 100 m final in Berlin.
Shelly ann competed the race in 10.73 sec, therefore her average speed =100/10.73c =9.3197 m/s
Shelly's maximum speed occurred in the 60-80 meter interval and was 20m/1.89s =10.5820 m/s
If we were to analyze her average speed purely from the perspective of when she initiated motion then that would give a more realistic value of her average speed. Let's call this speed the true speed. To accomplish this we could subtract the time taken to react to the gun from the total time. Shelly's average true speed is 100m/(10.584)= 9.4482m/s
Applying the same logic to Kerron stewart and comparing with shelly's result we have:
Shelly's average speed =9.3197 m/s
Kerron average speed=9.3023 m/s
Shelly's average true speed = 9.4482m/s
Keron's average true speed= 9.4554 m/s
Shelly's maximum speed= 10.5820 m/s
Kerron's maximum speed= 10.7527 m/s
The astonishing result is that Kerron stewart by definition of average and instantaneous speed was clearly the fastest athlete with larger maxmimu speed and true speed,but the quick reflex of shelly ann resulted in winning the race from the initial 30 meter since kerron covered every interval faster than shelly ann thereafter. Another thing to ponder is the position of the starter. The starter is usually closest to lane one athletes and the shortest distance from the starter to each athlete is a straight line . If we assume that the average distance between each athlete is 2 meters and the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s then it is theoretically possible that shelly could have heard the sound of the gun (2m/340m/s) approximately .006 seconds earlier than kerron stewart.
Re: IS the winner the fastest athlete?
Excellent question, and one that has been debated for as long as the sport has been around, probably.
I can recall discussions in the '60s where it was posited that while Bob Hayes might indisputably be the "world's fastest human," when it came to who was able to run the fastest (highest peak velocity) it was probably Tommie Smith.
Re: IS the winner the fastest athlete?
Good question. In conjunction with this, I've also wondered about some of the field events. What if the long jump was indeed measured from the take-off point, rather than from the board, just behind the plasticine. Wont we see jumps measured well over 9 Meters? Or what if the javelin was measured just from the time of release. I'm sure we would see throws measured over 100m. Perhaps it would be cool to see a standard-free meet, where actual distances are measured, and reaction times are subtracted. Create some suspense or award the true "longest" or "fastest"!!
Re: IS the winner the fastest athlete?
They have done the meter square take off board at odd times, and we do not have magic numbers recorded with a "what if" along side.
The discipline of the board is often more important to the result than the 'freedom' of no board.
Re: IS the winner the fastest athlete?
The top speed as measured in a 100m race as the very high corelation with the 100m final result. The ranking of the top speed and the 100m time is often the same in major champs from the data recorded over the last 40 years during the major events.
Also, the section of the race where the max speed is reached is the one with the highest corelation with 100m final result. And an inverse relationship tends to be found between the acceleration phase and the speed endurance phase.
This issue is fixed since there are speakers behind the blocks, at leats in major champs. What you describe is indeed an important factor in most of the races held in the world.
Re: IS the winner the fastest athlete?
That's hard for me to believe. Certainly TS could hold top speed better, but pure brute-strength, top-end, '10-meter split' speed? That was Hayes. I've always thought that we should have radar guns on every lane of the Oly Final to chart that very thing over the course of the race. Obviously now Bolt holds that distinction, and yes, peak speed is indeed the very definition of 'who is fastest?'
Re: IS the winner the fastest athlete?
The most accurate report i've found for Hayes is this http://www.si.com/vault/article/magazin ... /index.htm
Re: IS the winner the fastest athlete?
Which is to say, not accurate at all. The numbers have too few significant digits and are approximations. Only a calibrated radar gun (NOT the one in the funny video!) or a FAT 10m split has sufficient accuracy.
Re: IS the winner the fastest athlete?
Yes not accurate at all but this top speed figure has been used for years in the World Record Guiness books...
Radar laser guns - not the one on the funny video - an their accuracy has been questioned as up to 0.02 s difference has been found in comparison to HS video cameras. Other difference : Laser guns shot the sprinter from behind and captures the back of the sprinter (and sometimes his arms...) while pictures from HS cams take the time from the first part of torso.
Re: IS the winner the fastest athlete?
My college coach, himself an all-round athlete and Olympic coach, was an advocate of a wide board. Circa 1949-53, I participated in such "experiments" several times. While it is great fun to just charge down the runway and jump with abandon, I don't recall that any of the "real' jumpers in the tests exceeded their PBs.
I think we would see an increase in the number of spectacular jumps but we have already seen a handful of 29' jumps which, fortunately, were from behind the foul line.
I would not expect a rash of 30' jumps. The human body, in its present state of evolution, is only capable of so much.

Re: IS the winner the fastest athlete?
You mean the same people whose level of exactitude includes most hot dogs eaten in an hour? Now there's some serious science!
Re: IS the winner the fastest athlete?
Gh, i didn't mean Guiness book is a reliable source of info, i was just pointing out that the Guiness book has publish this inacurate data for years.
(Bob Hayes mentions in details this story about this 25y timing in his book "Run, Bullet, Run" published in 1990, and the first mentions - without much details about the timing procedure - of this "human speed record" appears in the Guiness book in '70s or maybe even before).
Re: IS the winner the fastest athlete?
a bit of a different slant ... in the 1973 NCAA XC champs Steve Prefontaine won in 28:14.8, Nick Rose was second in 28:20.0, and Gordon Minty was third in 28:22.0
One would normally say that Pre was the fastest.
Not so. At the start of the race Gordon was tripped and fell. By the time he was able to get to his feet he was ~ 50-75 yards (depending on who's account you reference) behind the last man. Munching all that together it is believable he was ~ 15 seconds behind, allowing for actual yardage.
I say Gordon was the fastest that day, and were it not for that fall there was a very very good chance he would have won. He was undefeated for the entire year having won most of his races by huge margins.
Point, mere stats don't tell entire story ... all of the time.
NCAA Champion - not to be; but he's okay these days, I think.
Re: IS the winner the fastest athlete?
If I am not mistaken, Carl Lewis jumped 9m at least twice. The first was a jump in Indianapolis in 1982, which was called a foul. (There is some report that the call was an error, and the jump itself should have been legal.)
The second was his winning jump in Barcelona (8.67). Dwight Stones said Lewis had at least a foot to spare in his take-off. (Okay, 8.67+0.305 is still 8.975, but "at least" implies there could be another 0.025.)
Re: IS the winner the fastest athlete?
You are probably refering to Seoul'88 where the toe-to-board of his 8.72 winning jump was measured at 0.18 In Barcelona, he hit the board for his 8.67.
Re: IS the winner the fastest athlete?
The Seoul results tell an interesting story. Pierre-Jean will be familiar with these, but they show that for the 3 mens medalists and 2 of the women's, they reach maximum speed at 50-60m. They also maintain maximum speed for one 10m section only. The odd one out is Flo Jo, who reached maximum speed at 60-70m and maintained it for 30m.
Frank Dick believed the aim of a sprinter should be to maintain a speed within 0.01 of maximum speed for 30m. If you look at fastest 10m time and fastest 10m time + 0.01 sec from Seoul, the results are very interesting:
Split Johnson Lewis Christie
40-50 0.84 ...... 0.85
50-60 0.83 0.83 0.84
60-70 0.84
Griffith Ashford Drechsler
50-60 0.92 0.96 0.94
60-70 0.91 0.95 0.95
70-80 0.91 0.95 0.95
80-90 0.91
90-100 0.92
Dick says "Lewis' midrace data reflects a loss of concentration rather than a fair picture
of his capacity to hold maximum speed:
40m-50m 0.86
50m-60m 0.83
60m-70m 0.85
Griffith Joyner's data suggests that her maximum speed was not achieved in this race. She in fact held a speed within 0.02 sec. of her fastest 10m time in the Seoul Olympic final for the final 60m of the race!"
Re: IS the winner the fastest athlete?
This was also the case of Grace Jackson in the same race. How much effect had the +3.0m/s wind on that pattern? There's also the case of Carl Lewis in Stuttgart WC'93 sf (3rd in 10.02 wind only +0.3m/s) whose last 20m were the fastest of the race. However data suggests that this pattern is not linked with the level of performance. I've coached a 10.1/20.4 sprinter who used to maintain speed in the last 60m of the 100m.
Re: IS the winner the fastest athlete?
So, speed maintenance doesn't necessarily correlate with maximum speed ability. Maintaining maximum speed for 60m though? That does seem a very rare ability.
Frank Dicks suggestion that Flo Jo wasn't at her maximum speed intrigues me. Could she have run a sub 0.9 split legally? As far as I know, a split of 0.92 is the fasest legal 10m section for a woman recorded - a lot thanks to your analysis, PJ. A number of women have achieved this (Flo Jo, Jones, Thanou, Drechsler, Ashford) PJ do you have any updated information here since all the 10.7's and 10.6's of Jeter, Fraser-Pryce and Stewart? It would be interesting to read their top end maximum speed splits.
On the men, it is clear that times have changed since 88. Do we have any updated all-time splits for men?
Re: IS the winner the fastest athlete?
1) Speed maintenance correlates with maximum speed in that SM is the same % of MS, whatever the level of performance. I.e. a lesser level athlete will have the same % of decelarating rate as a higher level athlete. This sounds counter-intuitive but i've shown it in an extensive statistical 400m study in 2010 with 43-47 (men) and 47-53 (women) 400m runners. Same goes for all sprint events, however it is not possible to show this for 100m because higher level athletes have longer acceleration thus reach their max speed father in the race, hence closer to the finish line. You can see the bias here if the rate of deceleration is used as the expression of speed maintenance : high level athlete will have higher rate, not because they have better speed maintenance, but because they have a shorter distance of deceleration (approx 40m for high level vs 50 for lower level sprinters).
2) Aside Flo-Jo, 0.92 has been only been recorded for Drechsler (WC87), Devers (WC97 relay) and Jones (WC99). Carmelita Jeter in Shanghai (10.64) or Thessaloniki (10.67) probably hit those speeds. 0.91-0.93 have been measured during the US OT'08 for 11 girls (legal wind) (!!!), but i'm very suspicious about the accuracy of this analysis as these top speeds don't match with the final performance and their speed curves are way too erratic.
Re: IS the winner the fastest athlete?
Reading a front page article I see that tennis player Andy Murray can reach 10 meter per second speed in just a couple of steps, so expect him to break 10.00 very soon . . .
Re: IS the winner the fastest athlete?
If you slow down enough you can maintain maximum speed for more than 50 ms.
Measuring individual races, and making assumptions on a piecemeal basis may lead to red herrings.
For you cyclists in the audience, there are some great programs which demonstrate race shape.
tracks your ride,
allows you to play with your ride in a format that shows how you achieved the result. It might be useful if someone could do the same with running.

National Day of Prayer: Meet at Brookfield City Hall Plaza, May 5th, 12:20pm
Thursday, May 5, 2011 marks the 60th Annual Observance of the National Day of Prayer, where people all over our country will meet at school and city flagpoles to pray for our nation.
This year's theme is A MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR GOD and the verse is from Psalm 91:2 "I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in Whom I trust."
I will be heading to the City of Brookfield's Plaza flag area (just north of City Hall) from 12:20pm to 12:40pm to pray for our community, state, nation, schools, leaders, servicemen, churches, and more. Hopefully, I won't be alone, but will meet others who who have come to pray for our country.
The National Day of Prayer website had this brief history of prayer in America under the heading Why Pray?:
"Prayer has always been used in this country for guidance, protection and strength-even before we were a nation or a handful of colonies. The Pilgrims at Plymouth relied on prayer during their first and darkest winter. Our founding fathers also called for prayer during the Constitutional Congress. In their eyes, our recently created nation and freedoms were a direct gift from God. And being a gift from God, there was only one way to insure protection-through prayer. "
Several years ago, their website gave this account of prayer in America: "The National Day of Prayer is a vital part of our heritage. Since the first call to prayer in 1775, when the Continental Congress asked the colonies to pray for wisdom in forming a nation, the call to prayer has continued through our history, including President Lincoln's proclamation of a day of "humiliation, fasting, and prayer" in 1863. In 1952, a joint resolution by Congress, signed by President Truman, declared an annual, national day of prayer."
I have attended several other N.D.of P. meetings at Brookfield's City Hall Plaza* and found them to be an encouraging experience. Hope you will venture out and join me in praying for our country.
*Note: Meeting at City Hall Plaza is NOT a City of Brookfield activity. It is just citizens exercising their right to free speech in a public place..
Bin Laden and Hitler
Bin Ladin and Hitler. Both died as enemies of the USA. Both were violent killers of the innocent. Both were hiding when killed. It does no good to see pictures of the now dead killer of humanity. To release a picture of a half blown off head only will incite those who are already incited. It would be below the dignity of the USA to rub it in to those who need no further reason to condemn us for killing him execution style. It would be exploited by t-shirt images, background for dark music and give our children bad thoughts. I trust the USA and the Navy Seals.If the Navy Seals say they killed him, to be sure they killed him.
Yes,there is a serious problem with a faction of a religious sect. But that was the case with the Crusades.

BeBop and Barbecue
On Saturday May 14th, Mr. Jason Gillette and the student musicians of the Brookfield Central High School Jazz Bands will proudly and joyfully present the Fourth Annual BeBop and Barbecue, an inter-generational presentation of music, food and community.
There are few things that can unite and create common ground as rapidly and effectively as good music, and this wonderful event gives evidence to that reality. Founded by Jason's vision of a production that would bring people of all ages together, this fundraiser has grown in stature, profile, and attendance each year. It is produced by the efforts of students, faculty, and parents.
Senior Dogs
It will come as no surprise to anyone that keeps up with the EBHS news that they are running a special on senior dogs. I'm also sure that people come with their preconceived notions as to what a senior dog is like. I'd just like to say, from my own experience, that just like with adopting any dog, you have to meet them before you can really know what they are like. You can't just look at the web-site pictures. Different breeds of dog age at different rates so that what may be ancient for a large dog may not be that old for a small dog. Perhaps you are thinking, as I once did, that an older dog will just lie around the house and not be able to do much else but keep you company. Well, that is true for some older dogs but not for all. I adopted my senior dog about 4 years ago. She is 13 now and definitely showing signs of age; in fact I thought I was going to lose her about 2 weeks ago, but she is back on her feet and back to her mischievous ways. When I got her, I wasn't sure what to expect but thought she'd just age calmly and I'd have her for 2 or 3 years. Well, she required daily 2 mile hikes with my younger dog, went on many mother, daughter, and dogs camping trips, and has kept me very busy. Her hind legs are giving out so she can't walk as far as she would like any more but she still comes running if I pick up a leash. So, if you have room in your life, check out the senior dogs. They still have a lot to give and may just surprise you.

Mr. Obama, illegal immigration isn't funny in southwest
This week, President Obama visited El Paso, Texas, and in his typical say anything manner, proclaimed the border fence basically complete. Of course, the people of southwestern states know this is not true, for only 5% of the mandated 700 mile double fence has been constructed: 32 miles under Pres. Bush and 4.3 miles of it built under Pres. Obama. (The entire border is nearly 2,000 miles in length.)
Obama went on to quip about Republicans never being satisfied on securing the border--that if he built the fence, they would want a moat and alligators. He treated this very serious subject as if it were a joke.

Harmon - Seve - and the World of Sport
Sports has been a big part of my life............playing it, watching it, following it, talking about it, introducing our kids to it. I believe its most compelling aspect is that it so surely and obviously stands as a microcosm of life: victory and defeat, conflict and unity, pain and pleasure, great expectation and crashing disappointment, all displayed in high drama and in extravagant settings. We see it all played out on a stage before us - all of those thiings that we mortals encounter in our more mundanely regular existence.
But most of all, watching, learning about, and coming to love the true stars of their respective sport; the greatest of the great. I think back to the giants of my life: Ali, Nicklaus, Johnson, Gretzky, to name a few. Like Collosae, they strode across the screens in our living rooms and imprinted themselves into the very fabric of our daily lives. The dazzling physique, skill, and speed of Ali, and his absolutely indomitable courage inside the ropes...............Did anyone in any sport ever wear the mantle of glory, wealth and fame as effortlessly and as well as Jack Nicklaus, the sun glinting off his steel-shafted clubs and his golden mane as he strode up yet another victorious eighteenth fairway.............The utterly uninhibited joy with which Magic Johnson played his game.............The grace with which Gretzky skated, ever elusive and always one pace ahead of where opponents thought he would be, and the jaw-dropping, never to be equalled records he left behind............ They occupied our attention with their larger than life talents and personas; human meteors that shot across the horizons of our lives, bringing us awe, joy, pain, disgust, inspiration, and more.
Remember me?

EEF Awards 24 Scholarships on Behalf of Community Partners to the Class of 2011
In 1958, three $500 scholarships were awarded to Brookfield High School students by a volunteer group of parent and community members. It has since grown into a community wide scholarship program made possible through the generosity of honorary/memorial funds, community groups, businesses and school PTOs. Having the EEF administer the program helps ensure that the greatest number of seniors can be honored by our community each year. The EEF takes great care to select recipients that meet the criteria provided by scholarship sponsors.
