Track List
Album Remarks & Appraisals:
Pianist SIMONE DINNERSTEIN and singer-songwriter TIFT MERRITT join forces for the first time on NIGHT, a unique collaboration uniting the folk, Americana and classical worlds, exploring common terrain and uncovering new musical landscapes. Dinnerstein and Merritt, who met in 2008 when they were set up for an interview for Gramophone magazine and Merritt's own radio show, "The Spark with Tift Merritt," have been performing and honing the material for NIGHT since 2010. Though Dinnerstein (a Juilliard-trained classical pianist from Brooklyn) and Tift Merritt (a singer-songwriter from North Carolina whose father taught her to play by ear) could not come from more different musical backgrounds, when they met, they immediately realized that their passion for music and performance were the same.
On the process of creating this work together, Merritt says, "We were coming from completely different directions and taking the risk of extending ourselves into foreign territory to find each other. We both felt very exposed and vulnerable but in very opposite ways and places. And, that risk, ultimately, was very exciting." Dinnerstein adds, "This album has been about pushing our creative boundaries."
NIGHT features new songs written especially for the duo by Brad Mehldau and Patty Griffin, along with Tift's own songs as well as classical selections. The album also includes the world-premiere recording of The Cohen Variations by Daniel Felsenfeld, based on one of Simone's favorite songs, Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne."
American Record Guide, May/June 2013
Tift Merritt's freshman album, Bramble Rose, from 2002, made its mark in the alt.country world immediately. Her voice is expressive and clear, her songwriting classy and confident, and she's one of the most musical singers in the field. Simone Dinnerstein has made a name for herself as a respected pianist, especially with her Bach. This is an intimate program, never depressing.
Album Reviews:
Q (Magazine) (p.95) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Odd couples don't come more unlikely, nor as complementary."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.92) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "What they have in common is a gentility and gentleness -- a spare, elegant, for the most part monochromatic sound..."
Album Notes
Recording information: American Academy of Arts and Letters, New York City (06/06/2012-06/11/2012).
Photographer: Lisa-Marie Mazzucco.
This is an unusual album on a lot of levels, born of the unlikely pairing of North Carolina folksinger and songwriter Tift Merritt (whose father taught her to play by ear) and Brooklyn classical pianist Simone Dinnerstein (Juilliard-trained), and given that it's a song cycle or symphony of sorts dedicated to night, and the deepest part of night at that, it would seem to be the perfect recipe for dreary pretension and artful pontifications. Well, Night isn't that, and it isn't exactly a folk album, either, or a classical one, but actually approaches a kind of sparse, airy pop, supported by only Dinnerstein's piano and Merritt's vocals, acoustic guitar, and harmonica. It definitely has a late-night feel, and it would almost be some kind of heresy to play this album on a bright, shiny day, unless it was right before the dawn of it. But somehow there's a brightness here, too, of the it's-always-darkest-before-the-dawn variety, and that's called hope, that after night comes day, that after darkness comes light. The album opens with a fine Merritt composition, the beautiful and wise "Only in Songs," which glides along on Merritt's unhurried Emmylou Harris-like voice, and one begins to realize that maybe this album isn't about night so much as it's nocturnal, full of a kind of cautious hush that still yearns and leans forward for the light. Other highlights on an album that is really all of a piece include a moving version of the traditional folk song "Wayfaring Stranger," Dinnerstein's "The Cohen Variations," which is built around variations on Leonard Cohen's song "Suzanne," and the set closer, a rather surprising cover of Johnny Nash's "I Can See Clearly Now," which leads the whole cycle out into the clearer light of daybreak. Somehow Night works as a treatise on its subject, a metaphor for traveling through darkness into the light, and a pleasing if low-key hymn to daily re-emergence and redemption. An unlikely pairing of artists leads here to an uncommon focus, and one gets the feeling that the duo might not be done. Surely an album called Day is called for to complete the cycle. ~ Steve Leggett

The Birth and Beyond California (BBC) Project utilizes Quality Improvement (QI) methods and training to implement evidence-based policies and practices that support breastfeeding within the maternity care setting. The BBC Curriculum was developed as a result of collaboration among the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health (MCAH) Division and many local organizations and individuals (Word).
Utilizing the Regional Perinatal Programs of California (RPPC), this project provided participating hospitals with ongoing quality improvement (QI) technical assistance, resource development and on-site education and training. The training curriculum was adapted from the successful SOFT Hospital, a project developed by the Perinatal Services Network at Loma Linda University under the leadership of Carol Melcher.
Comparison of California Model Hospital Policy Recommendations and the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative-U.S.A.(PDF)The Model Hospital Policies (thus the BBC curriculum) do not meet the requirements for "Baby-Friendly Hospital" designation. Breastfeed LA's Birth and Beyond Los Angeles (BBLA) and Vermont's Birth and Beyond: Empowering Mothers and Nurturing Babies builds on the BBC training with a focus on "The Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding," and adds new content to fulfill training objectives for the "Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative."

Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) is the best surrogate of average blood glucose control in people with diabetes. Large-scale studies in the USA and UK have demonstrated that lowering HbA1c significantly reduces diabetes complications. Moreover, immediate feedback of HbA1c measurement to patients improves control. However, HbA1c measurement is unavailable in most parts of Africa, a continent with one of the highest burden of diabetes. To translate these evidences, we will provide affordable access to HbA1c measurement and relevant education in 2 African countries, aiming at a significant improvement in diabetes control. We will develop a training and cost-recovery scheme with local health authorities for long-term sustainability.
Results to date (November 2012):
Overall, there was a 1% reduction in HbA1c in 12 months – 40% of the total sample reduced their HbA1c by more than 1 point. HbA1c determination has become routine in all 10 centres.

10.3: Fish
Is this animal a fish?
This mudskipper might not seem like a fish. It's not swimming in a lake or an ocean, and it appears to be using its fins like legs. Mudskippers can breathe through their skin and burrow in the mud. These features are not typical of fish, and, yet, mudskippers are still classified as fish. So what features define a fish?
Characteristics of Fish
What exactly is a fish? You probably think the answer is obvious. You may say that a fish is an animal that swims in the ocean or a lake, using fins. But as we saw with the mudskipper, not all fish spend all their time in water. So how do scientists define fish?
Some characteristics of fish include:
- They are ectothermic, meaning their temperature depends on the temperature of their environment. This is unlike humans, whose temperature is controlled inside of the body.
- They are covered with scales.
- They have two sets of paired fins and several unpaired fins.
- They also have a streamlined body that allows them to swim rapidly (Figure below).
Fish are aquatic vertebrates, meaning they have backbones. They became a dominant form of sea life and eventually evolved into land vertebrates.
The humphead or Napoleon wrasse shows some of the general traits of fish, including scales, fins, and a streamlined body.
How do Fish Breathe?
In order to absorb oxygen from the water, fish use gills (Figure below). Gills take dissolved oxygen from water as the water flows over the surface of the gill.
Gills help a fish breathe.
How Do Fish Reproduce?
Fish reproduce sexually. They lay eggs that can be fertilized either inside or outside of the body. In most fish, the eggs develop outside of the mother's body. In the majority of these species, fertilization also takes place outside the mother's body. The male and female fish release their gametes into the surrounding water, where fertilization occurs. Female fish release very high numbers of eggs to increase the chances of fertilization.
How Big Are Fish?
Fish range in size from the 51-foot whale shark (Figure below) to the stout infantfish, which is about 0.5 inches, and the Paedocypris progenetica carp species, which is about 0.4 inches long.
A whale shark. Whale sharks are the largest cartilaginous fish.
Exceptions to Common Fish Traits
There are exceptions to many of these fish traits. For example, tuna, swordfish, and some species of shark show some warm-blooded adaptations and are able to raise their body temperature significantly above that of the water around them.
Some species of fish have a slower, more maneuverable swimming style, like eels and rays (Figure below). Body shape and the arrangement of fins are highly variable, and the surface of the skin may be naked, as in moray eels, or covered with scales. Scales can be of a variety of different types.
One of the cartilaginous fish, a stingray, shows very flexible pectoral fins connected to the head.
Why Fish are Important
How are fish important? Of course, they are used as food (Figure below). In fact, people all over the world either catch fish in the wild or farm them in much the same way as cattle or chickens. Farming fish is known as aquaculture. Fish are also caught for recreation to display in the home or in a public aquarium.
Workers harvest catfish from the Delta Pride Catfish farms in Mississippi.
- aquaculture: Farming fish for food.
- ectothermic: Having an internal temperature that depends on the temperature of their environment.
- gills: Organs that take dissolved oxygen from water.
- Fish are ectothermic, have a streamlined body covered with scales, and have two sets of paired fins and several unpaired fins.
- To obtain fish for food, people catch fish in the wild or farm them.

Designer Tidbits: Aneela Hoey
Q: Where did you find your original inspiration for this collection?
A: My garden. I used to love spending time gardening but soon after we moved into this house I started to notice that every time I did so, I would end up with a rash all up my arms and legs. It was very uncomfortable and would last a few weeks. Sadly I had to put a stop to my gardening hobby and took to quilting instead. But I miss my garden and my flowers and decided this new group would start with a floral theme.
Q: What TV show or movie does your collection fit best in?
A: The overall feel of the group is quite idyllic and nostalgic, so I suppose a good TV parallel would be something like The Darling Buds of May, which was a British TV series that was on air sometime in the eighties.
Q: Tell me about your sewing machine. What kind do you have?
A: I have one sewing machine, a Pfaff Quilt Expression 4.0 and that's it. I have dreams of owning shelves full of vintage featherweights though.
Q: What is your favorite part of the fabric industry?
A: Most of all, I love to see what other people create with my fabric. It feels incredible that people go out and choose my fabric from the huge variety that is out there and that they make bedding and dresses and so on for their children out of that fabric. I love being a part of that.
Q: From what aspect of your life do you draw creativity?
A: The creativity always comes from the people and things I love, anything that makes me feel happy and dreamy and that life is a good thing. A lot of it comes from my daughters and things they might say to me or the way their imagination works, the pictures they draw, the way they play.
Q: What is your favorite print in the collection?
A: The Ditsy floral prints (lily of the valley, geranium, hollyhock). It's so simple and easy to use. It will be perfect for pretty spring dresses.
Q: What is the most challenging part of the design process?
A: Trying to get a sketchy hand drawn look when designing with a computer. I can never get it quite right because drawing with a tablet is nothing like drawing with a pencil.
Q: What are your favorite and least favorite colors and why?
A: It changes all the time. Right now I am in love with midnight blue, navy and deep purple. The colours I am least in love with are aqua and red, I feel like I have done aqua and red now!

FOSS will lose in developing countries and proprietary software will dominate these countries even more strongly than it currently dominates mature economies such as the US and Europe.
Why do I say this? Aren't tons of developing countries drafting or implementing open source policies? Haven't there been a slew of positive reports on FOSS from development agencies and NGOS? Doesn't FOSS provide a huge number of compelling benefits for developing nations?
Yes to all of those questions. They don't matter though, because ultimately all of the above are just words, not action. This is action:
Microsoft announces US$1 billion dollar partnership with UNDP to assist developing nations.
The last community related announcement I have seen from a FOSS company is this one:
RH launches US$23,000 scholarship programme in India
Not to belittle Red Hat's efforts or anything. They are doing something really admirable there. But what policy maker will look at the two headlines and say, "oh, let's go with the US$23k dude". These announcements make a big difference. Within days of the announcement, policy makers were going, "crap, let's reconsider these FOSS projects, otherwise we won't get a cut of that US$1 billion." Got to hand it to MS - they know good PR.
Where are all the FOSS companies? Have we ever seen IBM announce a global partnership to assist countries? HP? Sun? Any of the other major FOSS companies? Nope. Would love it if someone would point them out to me. All I see are the announcements of IBM signing their latest deal with some government, or Sun, or HP. All business transactions. All profits for these companies, no cost.
"But they don't have US$40 billion sitting in their bank account like Microsoft!" the FOSS defenders will cry. Big deal. You don't need US$1 billion to ante up at this poker table. Microsoft isn't throwing US$1 billion in cash in their "Unlimited Potential" program. Check the details carefully. A little bird (homage to Jeff Ooi) told me that MS isn't funding hardware purchases. So that leaves mostly software and training, valued at market rates. How much does it really cost them?
"IBM and Red Hat can't do that! Software is already given away free and trainers still cost money!", more FOSS defenders will cry. Right. IBM and Red Hat have other valuable resources that developing nations desperately need. Can't give away training? How about training materials? How about projects to start self-sufficient training centers in a country? Doesn't take much - send in a few trainers with your training material, train a few more trainers there and the cycle goes on. Don't want to canibalize your profitable training business in developed countries? Pull a Microsoft. Give away material in a non-English language.
Bottom line? FOSS companies need to step up to the plate and be seen as doing more to help developing countries. It doesn't have to cost much. Talk to some NGOs that are actually on the ground. They know how to do much with very little. All you need is a little creativity.
Not that it will make them any sales or profits in the short run. But in the long run, would you rather be competing in a market where your competitors dominate 95% of the market or 50%? Are you going to abandon the future for short term sales today?


text: How to Stay Injury-free During CrossFit-style Workouts By Pete McCall, M.S. Barbell clean-and-jerks. Kettlebell lifts. Heavy medicine-ball throws. Rope climbing. Exercises that were popular in the late 1800s with the introduction of the first modern fitness facilities have experienced a resurgence thanks to the popularity of CrossFit® and other workout programs emphasizing high-intensity strength and power training. Traditionally used by strength coaches working with athletes who need to perform at the highest levels of competition, CrossFit conditioning programs feature high-intensity exercises and explosive lifts designed to push the human body to its limits. CrossFit operates as a franchise structure, with independent affiliates worldwide responsible for implementing a Workout of the Day (WOD). WODs are extremely high-intensity workouts emphasizing a variety of functional movements and technical, skill-based weightlifting exercises. One of the most popular workout trends in recent memory, in just over a decade CrossFit has grown from an obscure niche in the fitness industry to a full-blown phenomenon with competitions featured on national television as the "Sport of Fitness." Created in 2000 by former gymnastics coach Greg Glassman, CrossFit has tapped into an unprecedented consumer demand for results by using challenging strength and power exercises combined with bodyweight gymnastics and plyometric movements. In its definition of "World-Class Fitness" CrossFit advocates: "Practice and train major lifts: deadlift, clean, squat, clean and jerk, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc. hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow." One reason for CrossFit's popularity is its use of timed workout formats, which enable participants to measure their individual success and compare results of their WOD to those of other CrossFitters around the world. Another reason for CrossFit's success is that it is a form of small-group training; the WODs include a number of participants working with trainers (called coaches) who provide feedback and encouragement. The small-group aspect means that participants receive the benefits of working with an instructor, while also feeding off the energy of training in a group. As CrossFitDC owner and head coach Tom Brose says, "It's no fun to go to a gym and do stuff on your own; our WODs feature people coming together for a common purpose, which builds a community." Finally CrossFit has become popular because the high-intensity training techniques are effective and consumers are proving that they are willing to work hard and push themselves if they see results from their efforts. CrossFit features a competition-style format, which provides an additional incentive for training hard with maximal intensity. In its Training Guide, CrossFit identifies the recording of WOD results and competitions as the engine that keeps participants engaged: "It is our observation that men will die for points. Using whiteboards as scoreboards, keeping accurate scores and records, running a clock and precisely defining the rules and standards for performance, we not only motivate unprecedented output, but derive both relative and absolute metrics at every workouts; this data has important value well beyond motivation" (CrossFit, 2010). The CrossFit philosophy is that "routine is the enemy" and WODs should be extremely intense, but short in duration. This approach encourages participants to train much harder than they would simply by going to a health club and hopping on a piece of cardio equipment or taking a traditional group fitness class. Other CrossFit-style Workouts CrossFit's unprecedented growth is particularly remarkable in light of the recent economic downturn, which caught many health clubs unprepared as they rushed to develop their own branded conditioning programs to retain members. To meet the demand from members who want the benefits of high-intensity training, health club companies both large and small have developed their own programming to offer challenging workouts and, in some cases, even competitions to give participants a specific training goal. Here is just a brief list of the companies that have introduced CrossFit-style workouts to their fitness programs: Millennium Partners Sports Club Management operates seven clubs under the Sport Club/LA and Reebok Sports Club/NY brand names and offers the Blitz program for its members. With more than 100 clubs nationwide, Lifetime Fitness developed its Alpha Training program as a small-group format designed to help members increase their strength and fitness levels. Town Sports International, the largest club operator on the east coast with more than 150 clubs, introduced UXF – the Ultimate Fitness Experience, which offers both classes and specialized training areas for members looking for an additional challenge. Equinox fitness launched the Equinox Training Camp to provide high-intensity workouts and to educate members on how to use nutrition and recovery strategies to maximize the effects of the training stimulus. While there are numerous benefits to hard-charging CrossFit-style workouts, the downside of high-intensity programs is that they greatly increase a participant's risk of injury. Even the most successful program in the world won't work if a participant develops an injury that limits his or her ability to do any exercise at all. The challenge for personal trainers and fitness instructors, therefore, becomes how to help clients receive the benefits from high-intensity conditioning programs while minimizing the risk of injury. It is important to note that ANY form of exercise done incorrectly can cause injury; the purpose of this article is not to disparage high-intensity training, but rather to provide an overview of how it can be safely used to help clients achieve their goals. High-intensity Training Produces Results All exercise is a form of physical stress applied to the body. The SAID principle states that the type of physical demand placed on the body determines the type of physiological adaptation that can occur (Baechle and Earle, 2008). High-intensity, power-based exercises are very effective at developing lean muscle; however, they also place a lot of stress on the body and should only be used with proper instruction and in the appropriate volume. There are specific reasons why high-intensity training produces results and it's important to understand the science so you can help clients maximize their results and avoid injury. There are two basic muscle fiber classifications: type I (slow-twitch) and type II (fast twitch). The different fiber types are each activated by specific motor units controlled by the nervous system. Slow-twitch muscle fibers are also known as aerobic muscle fibers for their ability to create energy from oxygen, which allows them to sustain a minimal amount of force over an extended period of time. For this reason, most muscles responsible for producing and maintaining good posture are comprised of type I fibers and are often referred to as tonic stabilizers. Type I motor units have a low activation threshold and are the first recruited to provide strength for an activity; however, when they cannot produce the required amount of muscle force, type II motor units are stimulated to activate type II muscle fibers. The most common way to increase motor-unit activation is to lift heavier weights; an increased load placed on a muscle will cause a greater number of motor units to respond in an effort to engage more fibers to generate a muscular force to overcome the resistance. Type II motor units and their attached muscle fibers have a higher activation threshold, meaning they are only stimulated when a large amount of force is required. Type II fibers are responsible for producing the strength to lift heavy weights or the power to move explosively. There are different classifications of type II muscle fibers: type IIb, which produce energy without the presence of oxygen (anaerobic), and type IIa, which, depending on the training stimulus, take on characteristics of either type I or type IIb fibers. In general, type II muscle fibers have a greater diameter (cross-width) than type I fibers and are responsible for the muscle size and definition that develop from a challenging exercise program. Recruiting and stimulating a type II muscle fiber requires creating enough overload to fatigue the involved muscle by the end of the set. Explosive, high-velocity movements involve a rapid lengthening and shortening of the involved muscles. Increasing the speed of muscle lengthening and minimizing the transition time from the eccentric lengthening phase to the concentric shortening action will activate more muscle spindles, which, in turn, activate more muscle motor units. Dynamic, power-based movements are, by definition, explosive and use primarily type IIb muscle fibers because of the requirement for immediate energy for maximal levels of force production. This is the basic science behind why CrossFit and other high-intensity programs feature explosive jumps, medicine-ball throws, kettlebell swings and barbell lifts like the snatch or clean-and-jerk; simply put, they are extremely effective at stimulating the muscle fibers most responsible for increasing size and definition. A body's metabolism determines the efficiency at which it converts the nutritional substrates fat, carbohydrates and, in some instances, protein into energy for muscle activity. Power training is not only an effective way to activate the type II motor units, it is also an extremely efficient method of increasing the metabolic, energy-burning effect from a workout. Power is defined as the Time period to perform Work: P = W/T; work is the product of Force x Distance (W = FD) where Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = MA). Improving power output (work-rate) and increasing the metabolic demand from a workout requires changing one of three inputs: using a greater mass (heavier weight), increasing the rate of acceleration of the weights lifted (throws and explosive movements) or increasing the distance traveled during a training session. This is the rationale behind the CrossFit protocol for short duration, high-intensity workouts. As researcher Brad Schoenfeld points out in his exhaustive review of the research literature on training for hypertrophy, "A large body of evidence shows that [metabolic stress] can have a significant hypertrophic effect" (Schoenfeld, 2010). High-intensity training influences the body by both the mechanical and metabolic stimulus to the type II muscle fibers. Using heavy resistance or explosive movements involves more type II motor units, which activate the type II fibers responsible for hypertrophy (muscle fiber size) and muscular definition. Additionally, high-intensity resistance training with heavier loads or explosive movements stimulates the endocrine system to produce the anabolic hormones testosterone (T), growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), all of which assist with muscle protein synthesis, the repair process of muscle tissue after a training session. Research by Linnam and colleagues revealed "hormonal changes appear to be related to the amount of muscle mass activated and to the metabolic response caused by the exercise" (Linnam et al., 2005). Separately, in their research on sprint interval training, Meckel et al. found that to stimulate an anabolic response, "input should be sufficient to cause a sizable metabolic effect" (Meckel et al., 2011). Staying Injury-free During High-intensity Exercise A plethora of evidence exists in both peer-reviewed research and anecdotal experience that intense exercise produces the results many clients are looking for. However, the nature of high-intensity exercise does increase the risk of injury to a participant who does not possess the underlying fitness level or movement efficiency to successfully execute the requirements of a high-intensity WOD. Likewise, insufficient rest or recovery between high-intensity workouts can greatly increase the risk of a training injury. "Microtrauma, or overuse injury, results from repeated, abnormal stress applied to a tissue by continuous training or training with too little recovery time," argues Beachle and Earle (2008). To allow clients to experience the benefits of high-intensity exercise, while minimizing the risk of an overuse injury, it is important to know how to teach skill-based exercises like the squat, kettlebell swing or barbell snatch. Additionally, trainers should know how to take the time to properly progress a client to high-intensity training and implement a program with periods of lower-intensity exercise to allow for proper recovery and adaptation to the training stimulus. A recent study on CrossFit demonstrates that high-intensity power training can be an effective exercise stimulus. "Data shows that [CrossFit] significantly improves VO2max and body composition in subjects of both genders across all levels of fitness" (Smith et al., 2013). It can, however, come with a cost: Of the original 54 participants only 43 completed the study, nine had to drop out citing overuse or injury as the reason for withdrawing. While not definitive, this study is a good indicator of the inherent risks associated with high-intensity exercise. As the study authors note, "This may call into question the risk-benefit ratio for such extreme training programs, as the relatively small aerobic-fitness and body-composition improvements observed among individuals who are already considered to be 'above average' and 'well-above average' may not be worth the risk of injury and lost training time" (Smith et al., 2013). All exercise is movement, and movement is a skill that must be properly taught by a qualified instructor and correctly executed by a client to be the most effective. High-intensity exercise itself is not dangerous, but using it inappropriately or without the proper guidance is not advised. As CrossFit has developed and expanded over the years, smart studio operators and coaches have made teaching safe exercise technique a critical component of their businesses. For example, CrossFitDC coach Brose requires all new participants to take a two-week, six-session program to learn the foundational movements before being allowed to participate in a WOD. Brose enforces technique and proper progressions for all of his participants and always offers lower-intensity options that allow them to exercise hard but with an emphasis on safety. CrossFit Invictus in San Diego, Calif., takes a different approach to ensuring participant safety. Owner CJ Martin wants to make sure that all participants enjoy the benefits of high-intensity exercise by offering three levels of progression for each workout: Fitness, Performance and Competition. The Fitness level is for members who want to exercise to improve their health, lose weight and enhance muscular definition, and the WODs are modified with exercises that are not technically demanding, but still effective at producing results. The Performance level is for members who want a more challenging workout, while the Competitive level is reserved for participants who are actively training to compete in the CrossFit games. To minimize the risk of injury, both Brose and Martin incorporate adequate time in a training session for a complete dynamic warm-up with movement preparation specific to the exercises of the WOD. Martin coaches a number of athletes who have qualified for and placed in the top 10 of national competitions. He helps his athletes achieve success by periodizing their workouts to allow for appropriate recovery and monitoring their daily levels of perceived exertion. Any time one of Martin's athletes demonstrates that they are tired or "under-recovered," he switches the workout to low-intensity mobility training or cancels that day's training session entirely. As mentioned, the original CrossFit exercise prescription calls for high-intensity strength training "five or six days a week." However, as health club companies have developed their own high-intensity training programs, they have done so with an emphasis on teaching safety and promoting rest time to allow for optimal recovery. The LifeTime Fitness Alpha Training small-group program, for example, requires a movement assessment (what they call a "try-out") prior to allowing a member to participate in the full program. If a member does not pass the assessment, they are required to take an Alpha Fundamentals class to improve their movement efficiency and exercise technique. The Alpha Training program is an ongoing periodized program and is limited to only six participants at a time, which allows the instructors to coach and ensure proper lifting technique. According to Jason Stella, the creator of Alpha Training, the program emphasizes developing the bio-motor abilities to enhance movement efficiency, recommends performing just one maximal intensity "personal-record-type" workout per week, and incorporates a one-week "off-loading" phase after every three- to four-week high-intensity phase. The Equinox Training Camp (ETC) uses high-intensity training as an opportunity to interact with and create additional value for members through programming. ETC is a six- to 12-week program that provides three structured group workouts per week, is taught by both personal trainers and group fitness instructors, and features pre- and post-assessments to show members their progress and results from the workouts. Equinox uses ETC as an opportunity to educate participants about other factors that lead to significant gains in the gym (e.g., nutrition, hydration, sleep) by sending a free e-newsletter to participants that features strategies for maximizing recovery from training. "There is a difference between training hard and training with intensity," says Lashaun Dale, Senior National Creative Manager for Group Exercise and one of ETC's creators. "The goal of the program is to teach members how to use intensity safely to develop healthy bodies for life." Dale goes on to say that ETC "is not just a group class—it is a learning experience for our members who want to learn how to exercise more effectively." ETC is free to all Equinox members and is so popular that sign-ups for the round of classes starting in April 2013 was sold-out in minutes. (While there is no charge for members, pre-registration and commitment are required for the entire program.) Even though the experts cited here have different employers and backgrounds, it's interesting to note that all agreed on how to reduce the risk of injury from high-intensity training: As soon as a participant's form suffers, the set is finished. "Once movement technique suffers," says Dale, "the set is done and no 'bad reps' should be allowed." Applying the ACE IFT® Model to High-intensity Exercise Programs The developers of the Alpha and ETC programs and experienced CrossFit coaches all know that individuals with poor postural control and movement efficiency have an increased risk of injury when they attempt challenging exercises that are above their existing skill level. If personal trainers and group fitness instructors want to create their own high-intensity training programs to help clients achieve results, then an effective strategy is to apply the ACE Integrated Fitness Training® (ACE IFT®) Model of exercise program design. The four phases of the ACE IFT Model do not have to be applied as separate, independent training phases; in fact, the model works best when all four phases are used in the same workout. The purpose of Stability and Mobility exercises are to strengthen the core and postural muscles responsible for stability, while improving the extensibility of the muscles that allow for joint mobility. Stability and Mobility exercises are an important first step of a dynamic warm-up prior to a high-intensity training session. The Movement phase of the ACE IFT Model combines joint stability and mobility to help clients improve movement efficiency and coordination in the five basic movements of exercise: lunging, squatting (or bending), pushing, pulling and rotation. Body-weight exercises can improve coordination and movement efficiency and serve as a dynamic warm-up before using more challenging exercises in a training session. The overload to stimulate the hard-to-activate type II muscle fibers can be created by using either heavier resistance during the Load phase of the ACE IFT Model or the explosive muscle actions of power training in the Performance phase. The Load phase is the optimal place to manipulate intensity, repetitions and sets (otherwise known as training volume) to either increase muscle size, known as hypertrophy, or maximize strength output. Load training increases the magnitude of muscle force production, while the Performance phase of training includes a component for the velocity of muscle-force production. High-intensity exercises such as plyometrics, jumping and medicine-ball throws, and explosive weightlifting techniques such as Olympic weightlifting and kettlebells can be classified in the Performance phase because they are based on the application of muscular power. Here is what a high-intensity WOD would look like using the ACE IFT Model: Warm-up These exercises should be completed as two separate circuits; the Stability and Mobility phase circuit should be completed one to two times before progressing to the Movement phase circuit, which should also be completed for one to two complete cycles. Warm-up Exercise Repetitions Rest Sets ACE IFT Phase Bird-dog 12 — 1–2 Stability & Mobility Front plank 30-sec. hold 2–6 30 sec.–3 min. Stability & Mobility Side plank 20-sec. hold 2–6 30 sec.–3 min. Stability & Mobility Glute bridge 12–15 2–6 30 sec.–3 min. Stability & Mobility Allow for one to two minutes of rest before moving to the movement-based exercise circuit. Warm-up Exercise Repetitions Rest Sets ACE IFT Phase Bodyweight squat 12–15 — 1–2 Movement Stability ball push-ups 12–15 — 1–2 Movement Modified chin-up 12–15 — 1–2 Movement Side lunge 10–12 — 1–2 Movement Inchworms 10–12 90 sec. 1–2 Movement Strength-based WOD The purpose of this WOD is to improve strength and boost metabolic output (burn calories). The intensity should be 8 RM, meaning that the client should be able to do no more than eight repetitions using that weight. Borrowing from CrossFit, the goal is to perform as many rounds as possible (AMRAP) of the following exercises in seven minutes: Strength-based WOD Exercise Intensity Reps Deadlifts 8 RM 8 Chin-ups Bodyweight to fatigue (with strict form) Barbell push-press 8 RM 8 Split-squat jumps Bodyweight 8 Dumbbell incline press 8 RM 8 Cool-down The cool-down should incorporate static stretches and core exercises to help lengthen involved muscles, reduce body temperature and promote recovery. If you are working with a client for a one-hour session, here is a recommended breakdown for each phase of the workout, which should be based on the client's existing skill level and fitness goals: 15–25 min for a dynamic warm-up 8–15 min for high-intensity work 10–15 min for recovery, stretching and tissue cool-down Producing Results for Clients Here are some tips on how to use high-intensity exercise to minimize the risk of injury and maximize training outcome. There is no single right way to train—all sorts of exercises work, but it is necessary to understand how to monitor intensity and training volume. Skill – Teach the exercise movement and make sure a client can execute a movement successfully before adding weight. Technique – As soon as a client loses form, the set should be finished. The greatest risk for injury comes from a client trying to rush through a technical lift with poor form. Use bodyweight exercises that mimic the movements in the WOD as a means of a dynamic warm-up. Ask a client to keep a training journal to record stress/ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) levels (or have a consistent place to write it down on a client's workout program). Any time a client deviates, the program should be adjusted to be less stressful, and appropriate rest should be taken before re-starting high-intensity training. It is not necessary to spend additional resources on a certification or instructor training to provide clients with the benefits from high-intensity exercise. ACE-certified Personal Trainers and Group Fitness Instructors can use their existing knowledge to develop challenging workout programs using the ACE IFT Model as a format for progressing from Stability and Mobility to Movement and, ultimately, to Load and Performance training to provide dynamic programs that are both effective and safe for clients.

I'm hoping to pick up a set of these this coming weekend. My club is having a swap meet, and one of the guys did have extra sets for sale. If the price is right, I might pick up the chase cards, too.
I've resisted the urge to buy packs at the store. Just bought one so far.
I've gone on ebay and looked at the sketch cards. The artwork is great. If I could find one reasonably priced, I'd pick one up.

Staging period plays might be an effective way of presenting a history course, if the inaccuracies in choices like Saint Joan and The Lion In Winter were corrected. Among the plays that accurately represent their times, one choice is not obvious: the 1928 Machinal, by playwright and journalist Sophie Treadwell.
The examination of societal oppression pushed to the breaking point is being staged in a compelling production by the Brown University/Trinity Rep MFA theater programs, directed by Aubrey Snowden. Performances are in the Pell Chafee Performance Center through December 16.
A thumbnail summary is simple: Young girl trained to ignore her own needs escapes servitude to mother by marrying repulsive husband and servicing him until she cracks and kills him. It's based on a homicide that was a major scandal when Treadwell wrote the play, a love triangle that resulted in the America's first electric chair execution of a woman. The playwright's take on its central social and theatrical conflict is clear from the title, a mashup of machine and bacchanal — gears and springs that want to be free are bound to burst apart.
Since the cliched story proceeds unsurprisingly, the means of telling it better be imaginative or we're bound to be bored. Treadwell's plays were exemplars of Expressionistic theater, so opportunities to convey emotions in even everyday situations were taken with hand-rubbing enthusiasm.
Things begin chaotically, representing the turmoil beneath the calm appearances of an office setting. A row of stationary actors madly mime typewriting and one of them stiffly recites a list of numbers like profit and loss tallies presented as holy scripture. In the set design by Tilly Grimes, they stand before a large black picture frame surrounding a stage whose curtain is a taut sheet of white plastic, which characters cut openings into as they speak their first lines. (Your guess is as good as mine as to why.) Then and later, some conversations take place in silhouette, and looming ensemble shadows provide foreboding background.
Our unfortunate protagonist is billed by the playwright merely as Young Woman (Jaime Rosenstein) but goes by the name Helen in the play. She works at a clerical job she hates in order to support her harping, hair-curlered mother (Amanda Dolan). Other office workers whisper and snigger that she's probably fooling around with one of the vice presidents, a "Mr. J," who always finds reasons for her to come to his office. Helen is pleased by his attention, more by his praising her beautiful hands than that he keeps asking her to marry him.
Exhausted by drudge work, she takes the easy way out and accepts his proposal. This is a more difficult decision than might be because she is repulsed by him and his "fat fingers," in contrast to his pointed admiration of her. He is the only character listed by a name rather than a role in the playwright's cast of characters, since the wealth and standing of George H. Jones (Drew Ledbetter) makes him more of a person than the others. (Unfortunately, Ledbetter is slim and handsome; a shame the Class of 2013 doesn't have a genuine fat cat.) Helen's wedding night plight is pathetic, as Jones pretends to not notice her nervousness and, oh what a creep, keeps calling her "little girl."

Ole Miss made a national splash on national signing day. Mississippi State fans weren't complaining by day's end, either.
Wednesday was the first day that incoming college freshmen could sign their national letters of intent and it started as the sun came up in the Central time zone.
Ole Miss got a signature from Robert Nkemdiche (Loganville, Ga.), the nation's top overall recruit, shortly after 6:30 a.m. Three hours later, Mississippi State maintained its grip on Houston defensive end Chris Jones, the country's second-ranked recruit, according to 247Sports.
Jones had flirted with Ole Miss over the past two weeks with official and unofficial visits to Oxford.
"Actually, Ole Miss was the first to recruit me two years ago at Nettleton. It wasn't about who was first or how long it was," Jones said. "I just felt like Mississippi State was the better program for me. Even though Ole Miss does have a wonderful program and I love coach (Hugh) Freeze to this day."
The Rebels finished the day with the nation's No. 5 recruiting class, according to ESPN. Mississippi State finished at No. 25.
Ole Miss signed three top players at their positions, Nkemdiche at defensive end, offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil (Lake City, Fla.) and wide receiver Laquon Treadwell (Crete, Ill.). Freeze also landed the No. 2 safety in South Panola's Antonio Conner and No. 3 offensive tackle in Austin Golson (Prattville, Ala.).
Mississippi State signed both Daily Journal Players of the Year, Jones (defensive) and Itawamba Agricultural High School running back Ashton Shumpert (offensive). Shumpert was also Mississippi's Gatorade Player of the Year.

text: As soon as Wayne 'Lotek' Bennett left school he was in the studio, in this case Rollover Studio in London, where he quickly found himself in sessions with everyone from Leftfield to Peter Andre. But his true love was hip hop and he found himself inducted into the ranks of North London's most notorious rap collective, Bury Crew. With them he released tapes and records, organised parties and played his part in keeping hip hop in the UK going in the midst of a drought. He came to the attention of Roots Manuva, who asked him to contribute a couple of tracks to what would become his debut album, "Brand New Second Hand". The musical relationship grew and, as well as contributing two of the standouts on Manuva's follow-up, "Run Come Save Me," Wayne was asked to act as Musical Director for the Roots Manuva live show. It was while dealing with this that Bennett became certain he was ready to step out on his own and began piecing together the band which would become Lotek HiFi. His collaborations with Manuva continued, though, with the track "Move Ya Loin" on "Awfully Deep." Lotek began working with singer Wayne Paul, rapper and clarinettist Aurelius aka Dazzla and toaster Earl J. The band contributed to the "Extra Yard"compilation before releasing two albums with Big Dada, "Lotek HiFi" and "Mixed Blessings" (the latter without Earl J). Bennett later relocated to Melbourne, Australia, where he produced Speech Debelle's Mercury Music Prize-winning album, "Speech Therapy" and released his own solo album, "International Rudeboy," in 2010.

Good Question: Should We Screen Student Athletes for Heart Conditions?
In recent weeks, we've told you about the deaths of high school athletes. Kids, who died in the prime of their lives from heart conditions they never knew they had. It has a lot of parents wondering: should we be screening student athletes for heart conditions?
Two weeks ago, 17-year old Matthew Hammerdorfer died while playing a rugby game. Just three days before, 16-year old Wes Leonard hit the game-winning shot in his Michigan high school basketball game, then collapsed and died during the celebration. Both had heart conditions, but never knew about it.
"There's a type of cardio-myopathy that is the most common cause of sudden death - or associated with it - and, that's when the muscle is actually too thick," explained Dr. Hal Goldberg of Spokane Cardiology. That type of condition accounts for 25 percent of sudden athlete deaths. Still, it's not that common, only affecting two out of 100,000 student athletes each year. For Wes and Matthew's parents, one death is too many. But, what does that mean for the rest of us? Should we get our kids screened before they play sports?
"So, basically," explained Dr. Goldberg. "This is the search for the needle in a haystack."
The standard sports physical won't pick up the most common cause of sudden death. You can't hear it through a stethoscope. You actually need an EKG to pick up on this type of defect. Then, there's the matter of what to do if you actually find something.
"When you start applying a test to a certain population that has a low incidence of disease, you're going to find something called false positives," said Dr. Goldberg. "You're going to find some disease that has no implications for causing a problem."
Some countries do screen athletes, with mixed results. In Italy, 20 years of testing dropped the rate of sudden athlete death from 3.5 per 100,000 to 0.5 per 100,000. But, Italian athletes are actually predisposed to a certain heart condition. In Israel, pre-screening didn't change the rate of sudden death at all.
If athletes do find a heart condition, they're often told not to play ever again. That's what happened to Tori Sorenson, a Gonzaga student who collapsed during an intramural game a few years ago. But, NBA great "Pistol" Pete Maravich played a full career with a condition and survived. He died eight years after he retired during a pick-up game at his church.
Dr. Goldberg said there are warning signs. If you have a family history of sudden death, get your child checked out before they play. And, if they ever pass out or get light-headed while playing, it could be a sign of a more serious condition.
But, you can't test for everything. The second leading cause of sudden athlete death comes from a blow to the chest. There's nothing you can do to test for that beforehand.
If you can't prevent or test for these conditions, Washington high schools are doing what they can to be proactive on the backside. They're putting defibrillators in schools to revive students who collapse on the court, knowing that even two deaths per 100,000 athletes is far too many.

Uncertain week for the Milan Stock Market (-0.1%) due to threats on financial institutions in view of the implementation of the Basel 3 requirements (-1% banking Stoxx Index). Following the announcement of the UBI Bank to increase capital by Euro 1 billion to strengthen its own capital structure, the market fears that other national institutions may be forced to recapitalise. Data on inflation in the Euro zone for March also contributes to the negative sentiment (+2.6% all time high since October 2008) which confirms the expectations of an increase in short-term interests.
Pirelli ends the week mainly unchanged at €6.245.
New coverage initiated on the stock by the Swiss broker, Sarasin, with a Buy recommendation based on the premium focus strategy and the geographical position.
The consensus target price settled at € 7.52 for Pirelli, whereas a Buy recommendation prevails on coverage made by 23 analysts (77%).

Shaminda Eranga suffers another injury
Sri Lanka fast bowler Shaminda Eranga has been ruled out of the upcoming Test series against West Indies because of another injury sustained during a period of rehabilitation.
He hasn't played for Sri Lanka since January 2015, and missed the home series against Pakistan because of a back problem and the Tests against India with a groin niggle.
The latest setback is also a groin injury.
Until his injury Eranga was considered the spearhead of Sri Lanka's bowling attack, having bowled them to a historic Test series win in England last year.

A study by the Clean Air Partnership:
The dominant mode of transportation in the Bloor West Village is walking, followed by public transit. Only 1 in 5 of visitors surveyed reported driving to the neighbourhood and parking there. The visitor survey data indicate that the majority (58%) support changes to the street use allocation. Curiously, cycling is the least frequent mode of transportation in this neighbourhood, and yet nearly 75% of those visitors who preferred a change in street use allocation would prefer the addition of a bike lane.
Visitor survey respondents who reported that they usually drive, were found to visit less frequently and spend significantly less money per month in the neighbourhood than those who did not drive. Visitors who preferred changes in street use allocation spend significantly more in the neighbourhood than those who prefer no change.
In terms of merchant perceptions of the impacts of changes in street use allocation, 54% of merchants in Bloor West Village indicated that they would expect no change or an increase in their number of daily customers as a result of either a bike lane or widened sidewalks, even if half of the on-street parking were to be removed in order to accommodate the changes.

I thought the Lions were going to honour Ritch before a home game this season?
Can't think of a better time than the season finale against Edmonton. It's Player Awards Night. Be kind of nice to give him something for courage and perseverance, then every year starting in 2010 give the Ritch Dowrey trophy, awarded to a player who exhibits courage, perseverance, and dedication or someone who made the squad despite long odds or difficult circumstances (past or future recipients might include players like Buck Pierce, Alexis Bwenge, Dante Booker, Trestin George).

Too often these awards get named posthumously. It would nice to do something when a guy's actually still alive.

Mount Gilboa is part of the lower Galilee's eastern gateway between the Jezreel Valley, Israel's breadbasket, and the Jordan Valley. One of the Galilee's most scenic regions, this 500-meter-high ridge is the site where King Saul and his sons, Jonathan, Abinadav and Malkishua died after a battle with the Philisitines (1 Sam. 31:2-7). This moving story is commemorated by the names of some of the communities and peaks along this 18-kilometer-long mountainous stretch.
The view from Gilboa takes in many visitor sites, including Mount Moreh (Judges 7:1), where Gideon's army assembled; Tel Jezreel, home of Ahab and Jezebel; and the national parks of Ein Harod, where Gideon chose his soldiers (Judges 7:4); Beit Alfa, with its ancient synagogue mosaic and Bet Shean, one of the country's most significant biblical tels, whose Roman-Byzantine ruins are a highlight. Also in the area is Sachne National Park, with a warm spring where you can go swimming. You'll find the Mount Gilboa scenic route – along road 667 south of Beit Shean, from Malkishua to Kibbutz Yizrael – studded with magnificent views in all directions, forests, picnic areas and hiking trails. Some Gilboa communities offer bed-and-breakfast accommodations so you can take full advantage of hiking, cycling and other activities in the region. The mountain's normally mild winter days offer the clearest panoramas, but the greatest attraction in March and April is the blooming of the magnificent Gilboa, a gorgeous purplish blossom so significant that it became the logo of the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel.

|Great Lakes Steelhead & Salmon Amazing "Inland ocean" fisheries
|Topic Review (Newest First)
My car temperature gauge was reading 96 degrees on the way home today in Chicago. Any steelies that are in the river are almost cooked already. When I was there last Friday water temp was 80 degrees and the air was 82. It is probably in the upper 80s now. Lake surface temps are mid 70s last time I looked in south lake michigan. Looks like high 80 to 90 degree temps will remain at least through this weekend.
July is not looking good, hope fully it will be a cool august and they will come in early with the salmon.
Have a family comittment next weekend so will not be able to make it down you should still give it a try.
what we need!
Its a go....
Its a go for the second weekend of July if all goes as planned.
Please send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com so I can add you to the list and find out who is coming!
Yes beleive they will do it under the perfect scenario but it is a low probability endevor to use only a dry fly presentation all day for them. I keep a few skater types with me mainly muddlers if that scenarios presents it self. I imagine MS could put us into scenarios with a better proabaility of success.
For me it is mainly streamers, nymphs, and speys on the sink tip spey set up. Sometimes I think I should change my cyber name to DREDGE or NYMPHER something like that. Been nymphing for 42 years now!
Yes and NO....saw them rise, never got one yet!
They will do it, you have to get them away from the school!
I think I will need MS to show me how to get them to come up for drys. Thats a dream of mine I doubt will ever be fulfilled. Beleive the conditions and fish have to almost perfect for this to happen in the great lakes.
Have you ever seen you caught on a dry or had a rise ?
Summer Skam Outing details
Hello again,
Ok, I have been researching the run latley and the fish are conjugating along some of the pierheads between Southhaven and the St. Joe area as of right now. Some anglers are catching fish at Berrain Springs dam, but there is only a small amount of fish. Remember, any rain can push the fish up or keep them close to the mouths awaiting for a spate. If we get a west wind that pushes colder water near shore, the run may be later? A east wind can also be crucial since it may bring warmer water out, pushing fish in the shallower water. This can be the opposite as well. The outing is being planned right now, and we are shooting for the 2nd or 3rd weekend of July, if conditions are right. I am hoping to host it on the Dowagiac River since it is easier wading than the larger st. joe where a boat is necessary. Any smaller rivers as well might be included. I am also looking for lodging options, whether it be a hotel or campsite? Please keep informed and voice opinions....this will come up fast.
What you'll need....
Patterns: Get those flies tied! Concentrate on flourescent pinks, oranges, greens, and chartruese for streamers and speys. Always have something black in your box as well. If you have any topwater wakers or bombers bring them along, you never know what you might encounter. Patterns tied on saltwater hooks or nickle plated salmon/steelhead hooks are best. Also, it is wise to have a few smelt/alweive baitfish streamers as well for the surf. If you need help with pattern selection please email me.
Tackle: It is best to have a few rods as well, just in cast. A long(9ft. and up) 7wt, 8wt, or 9wt fly rod is ideal, either single handed or double handed rod would be fine. Spey fishing enables longer drifts and allows repeated casting and might be a wise choice for the surf. Carry heavy tippets and leaders(#8, 10, 12lb.) because you'll need it. Reels with a smooth drag are helpful, and one that is a workhorse is not a bad idea. If you have spare spools bring them, because carrying a few different lines is essential. If you plan on fishing the surf an intermediate or sink tip line is best. In the rivers you have several options. You can swing speys and streamers with a sink tip or sinking line, or skate dries with a floating line.
Gear: It probably will be hot, and therfore light clothing is best. Brethable waders are nice, but I might just wet wade if it is warm enough. A vest or chest pack is handy, and you can hold all of your gear easily. Also, raingear is helpful too. If you have a cooler then please bring it. A camera would be handy ff you want to take pics of your fish. You will find that you can get hot easily, and a refreshing drink may be necessary. :hehe: Also, if we decide to camp, please bring the right equipment. I am not sure about food yet, but maybe if I bring a small grill or if we can get ahold of one we can barbecue. If we stay at a hotel, then we will find different options.
I guess that is it for now. Drop me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com if you want to attend or want some more details. Also, for future outings you can stay updated by joining a online club at email@example.com
I hope everything turns out good!:
