Summer is over, and autumn is at our doorstep. As the year closes, the "cycles" of public health begin again. Classes are starting up for students and faculty. Health departments are gearing up for new or continuing initiatives, federal funding year transitions and '09 state and local legislative responsibilities, and whatever else comes their way — including responding to needs generated by recent impacts of hurricanes in the southeastern United States and stretched budgets. As the rest of us in the United States watches, federal public health officials also face increasingly uncertain times, financially and politically, with pending 2009 federal budget enactments from Congress and upcoming changes in presidential administration. Much has happened that may impact the stability and capacity of public health, including those of us practicing epidemiology.
APHA, the largest public health membership organization in the United States, is also busy and on the watch. Fortuitously, autumn also brings new opportunities to share ideas and scientific and programmatic findings with colleagues, to network, and to renew our energy at APHA's Annual Meeting (coming up in San Diego, starting Sunday Oct. 24) and at our local state public health association meetings.
Rather than waxing on about the Epidemiology Section's terrific Annual meeting program, let me just invite all of you to join us in San Diego in October! Thank you to all who submitted abstracts, organized sessions, and are presenting posters/talks and moderating sessions at our upcoming program!
To plan your days there, please take a look at the wide-ranging topics to be discussed at our Section's Program Sessions, listed at the APHA Annual Meeting Web site link for the most updated program information. We are very excited about the special invited session addressing this year's important and relevant meeting theme, Public Health Without Borders, from various perspectives. Again, special thanks to Dr. Aaron Mendelsohn, Dr. Karyn Heavner, and the members of our Program Committee for their hard work!
In this newsletter issue, we Epidemiology Section leaders highlight some other Annual Meeting events we hope you and your colleagues will plan on attending while in San Diego. Here are five quick make-the-most-of-your-meeting tips:
· Tip #1: Get acquainted with what the Epidemiology Section and its leadership are up to, and think about getting involved. Come meet some of our continuing and new Section leaders and hear from candidates for APHA's Executive Board and others (Saturday and Sunday nights only)! Help us plan for next year (esp. on Tuesday morning). Please join us at our working Section business meetings (locations also listed in the APHA meeting program):
1) Business Meeting I, Session 123.0 on Saturday Oct. 25, 7-10 p.m., SDCC (San Diego Convention Center), Meeting Room 28A
2) Business Meeting II, Session 294.0 on Sunday Oct. 26, 6-10 p.m., SDCC, Meeting Room 28A
3) Business Meeting III, Session 402.0 on Tues Saturday Oct. 28, 6:30-8 a.m., SDCC, Meeting Room 28A
· Tip #2: Come celebrate with and listen to some of epidemiology's best, at our two Epidemiology Section awards sessions.
1. Awards Ceremony (honoring our distinguished career award winners and hearing an engaging Wade Hampton Frost Lecture), Monday at 2:30 p.m., at the SDCC, Meeting Room 6D/E. NOTE: this is earlier in the day than past years!
2. Student Awards and Careers Panel Session (honoring Section Student and the College Board Young Epidemiology Scholarship (YES) Award winners and hearing about and discussing careers in epidemiology with senior epidemiologists working in diverse public health settings), Tuesday at 10:30 a.m., at the SDCC, Meeting Room 31C.
NOTE: We encourage all students and professionals to attend BOTH sessions and then to continue talking at the social! Special thanks to Drs. Claudia Kozinetz, Kristopher Fennie, Aaron Mendelsohn, and the other members of the Awards Committees for selecting this year's outstanding winners!
· Tip #3: If you want to hear from, and discuss with, leaders in epidemiology where our field might be headed in the next 5-10 years, plan on attending our featured "Future of Epidemiology" Session, organized this second year by the Joint Policy Committee (JPC) of the Congress of Epidemiology Societies, Monday, Oct. 27, 2008, 12:30 - 2 p.m. in Room 7A of the San Diego Convention Center (SDCC). (See more details below.)
· Tip #4: Don't miss your chance to meet new colleagues and mentors and to continue networking at our Annual Epidemiology Section Social, offsite at the Café Sevilla, close by the Convention Center, 6:30-9 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 28. Space will be limited and you must have tickets this year, available for a nominal price at the Section Booth in the Exhibit Hall for as long as they last. Several Section leaders will have a few tickets on them at the conference's start, so you might try visiting one of the business meetings, especially Saturday or Sunday night, if you or your colleagues can't make it to the booth. Tickets usually go fast, so make that one of your first stops when the Exhibit Hall opens Sunday.
· Tip #5: Please visit the Epidemiology Section Booth! Come talk to Section leaders and find out more about the Section, get your Section badge labels and pins, pick up a listing of the Section Program for the conference, buy a ticket for the Social and more! (Check the Exhibit Hall directory for our Booth Number.)
And don't forget about the coming call for abstracts for the next meeting in Philadelphia next year. Start looking for the call in January 2009 on the APHA Web site.
As Chair of the Section, I give warm thanks to you all for the continued opportunity to lead our Section and for the incredible work and dedication of all of our Section leaders.
See you all in San Diego in October!
Yours truly,
Dr. Jim Gaudino

Annual Meeting Award Sessions: Snow, Lilienfeld, Frost, Public Health Practice and Students of Epidemiology
The Section's awards sessions provide venues for reflection upon the accomplishments and challenges met by epidemiologists in public health. They also provide an opportunity to learn from outstanding scientists and practitioners. The presentation of awards is a significant aspect of our Section's traditions; we hope you plan to attend during the Annual Meeting in San Diego.
The 2008 format for the awards sessions has changed. We will honor our career awardees on Monday, Oct. 27 from 2:30 to 4 p.m. and our student awardees on Tuesday, Oct. 28 from 10:30 a.m. to noon. (See the separate article in this newsletter for more information on the Student Award session)
Career Awards
Five career awards will be presented to highlight inspiring and talented epidemiologists and public health organizations. The John Snow Award, which is sanctioned by the John Snow Society and recognizes an outstanding epidemiologist for excellence in epidemiologic practice or research, will be presented to Julie E. Buring, ScD. Dr. Buring, professor, Department of Epidemiology, Harvard School of Public Health, has focused her research on chronic diseases, particularly cardiovascular disease and cancer, especially among women. She has spearheaded the issue of representation of women as participants in clinical trials and has proclaimed, "Gathering the best information on women's health requires a portfolio of approaches. Both single-sex and mixed-sex trials, if well designed and conducted, will provide much-needed data for use in improving the cardiovascular, and general health of women" (NEJM;343:505-506).
The Abraham Lilienfeld award, which recognizes excellence in the teaching of epidemiology during the course of the year, will be presented to George Rhoads, MD, MPH. Dr. Rhoads is professor and acting chair, Department of Epidemiology, University of Medicine & Dentistry of New Jersey School of Public Health. Child health, with topics ranging from childhood lead poisoning prevention to the National Children's Study, is what we think of when we hear the name 'George Rhoads.' A former student of Dr. Rhoads' reflected: "Dr. Rhoads was an extremely thoughtful, flexible, and astute advisor……I learned from Dr. Rhoads that the core principles of epidemiology are most important to a rigorous and meaningful study, and without that, even the most sophisticated techniques can be misinterpreted."
The Wade Hampton Frost Lecture Award, which recognizes a person who has made a significant contribution to addressing a public health issue of major importance by applying epidemiologic methods, will be presented to Ana V. Diez-Roux, MD, PhD, MPH. Dr. Diez-Roux is professor of epidemiology and Director, Center for Integrative Approaches to Health Disparities and Associate director, Center for Social Epidemiology and Population Health, University of Michigan School of Public Health. Her areas of concentration include: neighborhood health effects; socioeconomic position; understanding place effects on health; and integrating social and biologic factors in health research. Dr. Diez-Roux will also give the Wade Hampton Frost Lecture during Monday's award session.
The Public Health Practice Award has been designed by the Epidemiology Section to recognize the use of epidemiologic methods in an innovative and creative public health program or project. This is an important award that gives the Epidemiology Section a chance to recognize significant accomplishments of a person or program with respect to the practice of public health grounded in epidemiologic tradition and soundness. This year we are awarding the Public Health Practice Award for an individual to Dawn Terashita, MD, MPH, and the Public Health Practice Award for an organization to the Chicago Recovery Alliance.
Dr. Terashita is a medical epidemiologist for the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. Her work centers on infectious disease surveillance. She identified the need for improved communication and information exchange with hospital infection control professionals (ICP) and created of a new team of public health nurses called the Hospital Outreach Unit Liaison Project to improve communication and response among ICPs and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
Greetings Students!
Hopefully, you enjoyed the summer and had some time to relax before starting the new academic year. We hope that you have started making plans to attend the upcoming APHA Annual Meeting in San Diego. Students have always been crucial participants in the Epidemiology Section. By attending the business meetings or scientific sessions, students can learn about the dynamic and diverse career opportunities in epidemiology and network with leaders in the field. The Section also welcomes interested students to volunteer for more active rolls by participating in committees such as the Program Planning Committee, reviewing abstracts for the Annual Meeting or working at the Epidemiology Section booth at the Annual Meeting.
We wanted to highlight a few activities at this year's APHA Annual Meeting that may be of particular interest to students in the Epidemiology Section:
Epidemiology Section Student Awards and Career Session. One way in which the Epidemiology Section shows its support for students is through the Section Student Awards. All students who submit an abstract to the Epidemiology Section describing research conducted during undergraduate or graduate training are eligible for consideration for a student award. We are proud to announce the Student Awards Committee selected the following as the 2008 Student Award Winners:
o Orquídea Frías-Belén, University of Puerto Rico. Association between increased body mass index and self-reported asthma in the Puerto Rican population.
o Tomas Nuño, University of Arizona. Assessment of a promotora-administered educational program to promote breast and cervical cancer screening in a rural community along the U.S.-Mexico border.
o Heidi D. Sato, TUI University. Predicting foodborne outbreaks at restaurants: Results of a risk assessment model.
o Melissa Y. Wei, Oregon Health and Sciences University. Vitamin D and prevention of colorectal adenoma. A meta-analysis.
Congratulations to the Student Award winners! And thank you to all the students who contribute to the Section. Your hard work is most appreciated.
This session will also be a wonderful opportunity to recognize other students for their work and learn about career pathways from senior epidemiologists.
(Tuesday at 10:30 a.m.)
Epidemiology Section Social Event. The social event will be a great chance to meet and network with other epidemiologists in APHA in an informal setting. It also serves as a great networking opportunity with your mentor. Please note the event is limited to 100 people and requires a ticket. Please inquire about tickets at the APHA Epidemiology Section booth (price to be announced shortly).
Epidemiology Section Booth. Please drop by our Section booth to meet other members of the Section and to learn about other ongoing activities in the Section. If you are able to volunteer to staff the booth, there are several afternoon time slots still available. Please contact us if you are interested in helping out.
Career Awards Session. Come and listen to lectures from senior epidemiologists who are being recognized for their great work! (Monday afternoon)
Epidemiology Section Business Meetings. The business meetings are open to students and will give you a sense of the depth and breadth of activities of the Epidemiology Section. It may provide an opportunity to find out how you can get involved with the Section! You maybe introduced to a new mentor and receive great ideas and insights from senior epidemiologists.
We are continuously encouraging all APHA student members to get involved in the Epidemiology Section to develop invaluable leadership experience within APHA, to advocate for the continued involvement of students within APHA, and to help build more collaborative opportunities within APHA. Please feel free to contact either of us if you have any suggestions for how to better include the public health student voice in the Epidemiology Section of APHA.

Are you interested in the future of epidemiology?
The Epidemiology Section and the Joint Policy Committee of the Societies of Epidemiology will sponsor a special session on this topic on Monday, Oct. 27, 2008, 12:30 - 2 p.m. in Room 7A of the San Diego Convention Center.
You've doubtless heard that a few very vocal critics have suggested that epidemiology departments should be closed because epidemiology is no longer useful in the 21st century. They argue that we have found all that we can find using what they view as increasingly limited epidemiologic methods. Even the New York Times months back raised doubts about the usefulness of epidemiologic studies. On top of this, the NIH seems to be paying limited attention to epidemiology in its future planning and funding.
Is epidemiology becoming a limited, less useful tool for informing public health and clinical sciences and public policy or will it remain fundamental set of methods necessary for public health? What do you think the future looks like?
This symposium will examine the challenges and opportunities facing the field of epidemiology in the next 10 years. A panel of distinguished epidemiologists will present their views.
Panelists include:
Robert A. Hiatt, MD, PhD, professor and co-chair of the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF). He is also director of Population Science and deputy director of the UCSF Comprehensive Cancer Center and a senior scientist for the national Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program in Oakland. Dr. Hiatt will discuss the role of epidemiology in uniting scientists, professionals and others in a transdisciplinary problem-solving approach to important health and health care problems.
Elizabeth A. Bancroft, MD, SM, medical epidemiologist at the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. She obtained her medical degree from Cornell University and a masters in clinical epidemiology from Harvard. She is a graduate of the CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service and board certified in Preventive Medicine. She currently specializes in infectious disease and disability epidemiology. She is a member of the APHA Science Board. Dr. Bancroft will discuss the challenges facing epidemiologists at local health departments as emphasis changes from infectious diseases to chronic diseases.
Elizabeth Barrett-Connor, MD, distinguished professor and division chief of epidemiology in the Department of Family and Preventive Medicine at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine. She is a past chair of the Epidemiology Section of the APHA. Dr. Barrett-Connor will speak about future considerations in nutritional epidemiology, particularly issues related to obesity.
Roberta Ness, MD, MPH, chair of the Department of Epidemiology at the University of Pittsburgh. She will become dean of the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston's School of Public Health on Jan. 1, 2009. She is the immediate past chair of the Joint Policy Committee of the Societies of Epidemiology, and the president-elect of the American College of Epidemiology. Dr. Ness will discuss recommendations for future development of the field of epidemiology.
The session will be moderated by Ruth Etzel, MD, PhD, from the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health at the George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services in Washington, D.C. Come to learn more about the challenges and opportunities facing epidemiology and participate in a dialogue about strategies for the future. Audience participation is strongly invited.
We need volunteers to staff the Epi Section Booth at the Annual Meeting. The booth display at the Annual Meeting is a perfect opportunity to showcase our Section and connect with other professionals, students and colleagues of epidemiology.
Contact Victor Ilegbodu to volunteer!
We continue to look for your ideas and contributions for our quarterly newsletter. If you have an important announcement or would like to briefly highlight some important epidemiologic findings, please contact Mr. Oscar Alleyne. Help us keep the newsletter relevant to you! The next deadline for newsletter items is mid-January '09 for the winter '09 newsletter.
Invitation to Join our Section
Don't forget, if you are not a member of the Section and wish to be, APHA now allows multiple section memberships. We welcome any colleagues from other sections to also join the Epidemiology Section! Your membership is just a couple Web site "clicks" away.
It is not too early to consider nominating yourself or someone else to serve as a Section leader and run in next year's Section leadership elections
If you or your colleagues are interested in finding out about leadership opportunities within the Section, including student leadership opportunities, please come talk to any of our Section leaders at the Annual Meeting or contact any of us as listed above or on our Web site.
The call for nominations for Section Councilor or Section Governing Councilor positions begins very soon in January. Dr. Stan Weiss, immediate past chair, again will be organizing our Section's nomination process. (Check our Web site for descriptions of each of these positions.)

Elton John figures he's released somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 albums in his incredible career, but he believes that his new one, The Diving Board, which is in stores on Tuesday, is one of his better efforts.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4, Elton said, "I think this is probably one of the best records of my career." He added, "I know artists say that whenever a new album comes out, but I really, sincerely believe -- piano-wise and vocal-wise, songwriting-wise and production-wise -- that this is one of my best records, if not the best."
The Diving Board is a continuation of the sound that Elton first explored with The Union, the acclaimed disc he made a few years back with his idol Leon Russell and producer T Bone Burnett . Inspired by the back-to-basics sound of a record called Modern Times by Bob Dylan , Elton decided to go back to analog, rather than digital recording, and strip things way down. "It's basically piano, bass and drum," Elton says of The Diving Board.
The record, he says, was made in two parts. Armed with a batch of new lyrics from Bernie Taupin , Elton says, "We wrote ten or eleven songs in about three days, and recorded them in about three days. And then, I kind of left it for a year, and I'd never had the luxury before of having space between writing something and then going back to it, [but] I went back a year later."
He says he then wrote another four songs, threw out a couple of the original tracks, and the result was The Diving Board.
The title track, he says, is about the dark side of fame, especially its effect on young people. "For me, the song is about someone like Lindsay Lohan , who had everything at the start, was a fantastic actress, great recording artist," he explained to the BBC. "And then it all went really, tragically wrong because of drugs and the wrong people she was hanging around with. It's about the pitfalls of being a young star."
While Elton is making the rounds to promote the record -- he appeared on the Emmy Awards on Sunday night, and will be on both ABC's Good Morning America and The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Wednesday -- he says he's not necessarily trying to compete with today's big pop stars when it comes to radio hits and album sales.
"I'm not competing with anybody anymore. My place is safe," he says firmly. "Y'know, I sell out concerts. My place is safe. I just want to make sure that the more I record, the better I can get, and the quality that I do is still up there. And that's what keeps me going."

A 5-Point Plan to Help You Conceive
Be proactive to get pregnant!
Step 2: Know Your Cycle
Normal cycles can vary; they can be as short as 24 days and as long as 35 days. However, according to Dr. Burry, an individual's cycle length should be consistent, either always short or always long.
Cycle length is calculated by counting from the first day of bleeding to the next first day of bleeding. Ovulation can occur at any point in the cycle.
Tracking your fertility signs is the only way to know for sure when—and if—you are ovulating. That can be done by taking your temperature every morning before leaving the bed (basal body temperature or BBT) and physically examining the consistency of cervical mucus. A slippery and stretchy, raw egg consistency is exactly what you are looking for. After that, a rise in the BBT signals that ovulation has indeed occurred.
While ovulation predictor kits are available, the tests are not always accurate; you can have false positives. But for those who have been having difficulty conceiving, those tests and kits may just be a life saver.
Krissi Danielsson of Marina, California, thought that having a baby was going to be a breeze, but after several miscarriages, she realized she would have to get more aggressive. "Just thinking back, I guess I was naive," she says. "I thought it was as simple as hopping in the sack, having a late period, taking a pregnancy test and voila!—nine months later there's a baby."
Danielsson began tracking her cycles and found that knowing exactly where she was in the cycle helped to calm her. "I used temperature charting in all the cycles I was trying to conceive," she says. "I also used a fertility monitor for about four of those cycles. I found it to be a major stress reducer since I knew exactly when I ovulated and when to expect my period or take a pregnancy test."

January's 2011 Detroit Auto Show brought with it the production version of the long rumored Veloster , but Hyundai is using the Chicago Auto Show to display a rally version of the car.
The Veloster Rally Car is powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine mated to an Xtrac six-speed sequential transmission. Making giant leaps across the rally road will be made easy with the engine's 500hp and all of that power comes with an estimated 40mpg.
This particular version of the Veloster will make its rally debut at the 2011 U.S. Rallycross Championship Series. In fact, three Velosters will be racing during the Rallycross; one will be driven by Rhys Millen, the second will be piloted by rally champion Marcus Dodd and world record freestyle motorbike rider Robbie Maddison, and the third will be driven by to-be-announced celebrity drivers.
Update 02/07/2011: Hyundai has revealed the Rally version of the Veloster coupe today at the Chicago Auto Show.
UPDATE 01/25/2012: Hyundai has unveiled a new commercial for the Veloster Rally Car that shows Join Rhys Millen and crew as they play around with the Veloster Rally Car on the golf course. Enjoy!
Hit the jump to read more about the Hyundai Veloster Rally Car.
Exterior and Interior
Starting with a standard Hyundai Veloster , the rally version replaces the standard hood, doors, quarter panels, front fascia, and rear fascia with new ones made in carbon/Kevlar. The carbon/Kevlar panels are 75% lighter than the sheet metal they replaced. This weight-saving approach is carried throughout the car without compromising its powerful curves and surface detail or hidden third door. On the rear, there is a custom RMR rear wing, so the total weight is now 2,656 pounds.
For the interior, all the comfort and convenience features have been removed and replaced with a custom-fabricated eight-point safety cage. The safety cage is required for rallying and a Sparco racing seat further protects the driver in the overhauled cockpit.
The entire carbon/Kevlar body is wrapped in a paint scheme combination of blue, white, and orange.
The rally car is powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers and impressive 500 HP and is mated to an Xtrac six-speed sequential transmission.
The car will get a new custom suspension and 18-inch HRE wheels and 245/40-18 Hankook Racing tires. Stopping power comes from 14-inch Alcon brake rotors and six piston Alcon calipers.
Since Rhys Millen Racing (RMR) has prepared this car for their personal use, we don't expect anyone else to be ab;e to get their hands on one!
The new Veloster Rally Car will make its debut at the X Games during the 2011 U.S. Rallycross Championship Series. Rhys Millen will be taking on David Higgins and Dave Mirra in their Subaru WRX STI s, Ken Block and Tanner Foust in their Ford Fiesta 's, and Antoine L'Estage in his Mitsubishi EVO X.
However, the strongest competition will remain the Fiesta with its 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that produces 490 horsepower at 8,000 RPM.
- Cool exterior graphics
- Powerful engine
- Use of carbon fiber
- No one else will be able to drive it

You will fall in love with someone who annoys you, whose orgasm face looks and feels pathetic. Despite all of this, there's something keeping you drawn to them, something that makes you want to protect them from the harsh world. What you fail to realize, however, is that you are the harsh world. You aren't their noble protector — you are someone to be protected from but it takes a lot of dates, a lot of nights where you question whether or not you are actually a good person, for this to ever resonate with you. When it's over and whatever love is left is put back in the fridge like a sad plate of leftovers, you will finally understand that you have the power to hurt someone. You can either hurt them or love them and it's up to you to decide what kind of role you would like to take on in future relationships. What feels more comfortable — being the one who loves more or being the one who's loved less?

Enhance lifting technique

Myprotein Figure 8 Straps are a fantastic training accessory to help enhance lifting technique and reduce premature grip fatigue.
These heavy duty cotton straps are the ideal replacement for the traditional lifting straps which are known for their impractical and uncomfortable design.
The Myprotein Figure 8 Straps are designed to loop over the lifting bar whilst your wrist is secured through both hoops. This creates a grip which can be used for both over hand and under hand lifting techniques to provide a secure grip on any size bar.
Unlike traditional lifting straps, figure 8 straps can be adjusted at any stage during your lift without having to unwind straps. For added comfort and support, each strap is constructed with padded foam sections to protect your wrists.
Place wrist through one of the loops and pass the second loop underneath the bar. Feed your wrist through the second loop, securing the bar in place. Grip the bar and the strap securely before performing your lift.
For more specific direction we recommend seeking the advice of a fitness expert.

I tried the wrist straps but never have tried any equipment like this before but they as so effective! Took two or three sessions to get used to them but they helped me dead lift at least 20kg just by wearing the straps.
I'd recommend these to anyone looking to lifting a little bit extra weight with easy.

- (20 / May / 2014)
I had big expectations, however figure 8 links are too wide, and cannot get enough grip. Will stick with usual straps
- (18 / Apr / 2014)
They are what they are, sturdy and they certainly help relive stress on your wrists and hands - great for working out your back.Goes Well With:heavy lifting
- (18 / Feb / 2014)
Seems soft and durable, hoops are little bit too loose for my wrists, works well while using gloves or wrist wraps
Decent straps
- (14 / Nov / 2013)
The Myprotein Figure 8 Straps are a good, high quality strap with comfortable padding and thick materials. I initially purchased these for dumbbell shrugs and deadlifts. It is however extremely hard to use with dumbbells as the length and thickness of them make it very tight to secure and then grip, although it can be done. I also however now use them for my heaviest sets of upright rows as I feel my forearms give out a lot quicker than the primary working muscles do.
Overall these are a great product and I would recommend them to anyone who struggles with their forearm strength in the aforementioned exercises.Goes Well With:A decent pair of gloves
Good for some stuff
- (14 / Oct / 2013)
I got these Myprotein Figure 8 Straps because I have a very bad wrist injury and cannot grip anything. I can use them for barbell rows but when it comes to heavy stuff like dead lifts they do not wrap around the hand tight enough to take everything away from the hands and for the grip, the holes in the figure 8 straps are way too big.
- (11 / Oct / 2013)
Couldn't get on with regular straps. These were so easy to put on the bar, give a solid hold and added 10kg to my deadlift PB. Wont use them all the time but great for heavier lifts or when your hands are fatigued but you still have more to lift. Worked really nicely for one arm rows too. Strong, comfortable, well made, wish I'd found them ages ago.
Figure 8 straps
- (05 / Sep / 2013)
I have found these straps to be very beneficial.
At present I have only used them for deadlifts and bent over rows, but, they really do work and I have found I am able to lift around 40kg more!
One thing I haven't tried them with yet is dumbells. Not sure how I will be able to get the strap over using only one hand. I'm sure there is a way. Maybe trial and error to get a technique going.
Overall the figure 8 straps are very comfortable and work well.
Improved Performance
- (29 / Jul / 2013)
I've used the Myprotein Figure 8 Straps 3 times since purchase. I found them very comfortable to wear. They're just the right size for my wrists, and seem very strong and sturdy. I'm using them for my pulldown and bentover row, and my deadlift power has increased at least 15%. I wouldn't rely on them too heavily as grip strength may suffer for it, but it's an absolute gem when it comes to big lifts.Goes Well With:Deadlifts, Bentover Rows, Pulldowns, Shrugs
the TANK
- (21 / May / 2013)
These Myprotein Figure 8 Straps are well worth buying. When I use my normal straps for gym work, the strap that curls in my palm makes the grip thicker and costing me a few reps, but these figure 8 straps have cut that out.
for ever young
- (14 / May / 2013)
The Myprotein Figure 8 Straps are the best straps I've had. They're easy to use, quick, with no messing about. I'm glad I've got them.
- (14 / May / 2013)
With the Myprotein Figure 8 Straps I can lift and pull more.
- (07 / May / 2013)
After using normal straps for a while I thought I would give the Myprotein Figure 8 Straps a go.
I found them to be a lot easier to set up for use as you can use both hands to get them onto the bar then slide them to your width of grip required, when using a wide bar for say a lat pull down machine just put them on then slid over each end of the bar when/if required.
The only possible drawback I can think off is if you had a sudden need to release the weight it can not be done the same way as traditional straps i.e. just let go and they unravel.
These straps need the weight to be taken off the straps so you can slide your hands out.
- (29 / Apr / 2013)
These Myprotein Figure 8 Straps are a great item, and excellent for doing pulling exercises like lat pull downs or single arm tricep extensions. These are good quality and a cheap price.
- (22 / Apr / 2013)
The Myprotein Figure 8 Straps are very good. They're comfortable and strong, and do the job well.

Tomas Gursky
- (16 / Apr / 2013)
After a research on internet I decided to buy Figure 8 lifting straps. And I couldn't do better. If you do dead lifts or bent over rows you won't lose your grip anymore. It will give you a freedom of movement but also a security if you loose your grip. They are made from good material with padding and will move you to the next step with your weight and exercise. These are highly recommended.
- (08 / Apr / 2013)
The Myprotein Figure 8 Straps are the best straps I've ever had! There's no slip!Goes Well With:Heaving weights lifting (dead-lift)
- (02 / Apr / 2013)
The Myprotein Figure 8 Straps are a good overall product. They didn't feel as comfortable as lifting straps, but are definitely easier to use.Goes Well With:Liquid chalk
- (01 / Apr / 2013)
Glad I got the Myprotein Figure 8 Straps, it makes dead lifting a lot easier and safer. If you lose your grip you can't drop the bar.Goes Well With:Dead lifting!
- (13 / Mar / 2013)
The Myprotein Figure 8 Straps look like a very good quality product. They provide a very good grip and I would recommend it.

As you hang holiday lights and light the candles, cast your gaze upon the universe's natural fireworks as well.
A thin crescent moon in 2012 will provide for dark nights and early morning light to enhance this year's North Taurid meteor shower, according to EarthSky.org.
Among the best places locally to see it are at some of the overlooks along Mulholland Drive or near the Los Angeles River. Some darker areas could also be Moorpark Park, Fryman Canyon Park or Weddington Park.
Space.com reports the best time to see the Taurid meteors, or "Halloween fireballs," started Nov. 5 and peaks early this week, as the moon diminishes in brightness each night.
Up to 15 yellow-orange meteors could appear per hour each night and appear to move very slowly, according to Space.com.
Astronomers anticipate three meteor showers this November and December.
Monday: Taurid Meteor Shower
- The Taurid meteors are expected to peak Monday in the early morning hours just after midnight. EarthSky.com reports that this slow-moving, modest shower may yield just 10 meteors per hour. "But even one bright meteor can be a treat, especially since a good percentage of the Taurid meteors tend to produce fireballs!" according to the website. The shower is visible anywhere in the world and will appear to radiate from the Pleiades star cluster.
Nov. 17: Leonid Meteor Shower
- After years of heavier-than-average showers, the famous Leonids have returned and are expected to peak on Nov. 17 in the pre-dawn hours. These meteors are fast (about 40 miles per second) and can leave trails of smoke, according to Astronomy.com. They will appear to radiate from the constellation Leo the Lion. "Many Leonids are also bright. Usually, the meteors are white or bluish-white, but in recent years some observers reported yellow-pink and copper-colored ones," according to the website.
Dec. 13: Geminid Meteor Shower
- The last shooting star cluster before New Year's is the Geminid Meteor Shower, expected to peak in the pre-dawn hours after midnight between Dec. 13 and Dec. 15. They will be visible in all parts of the sky and streak through the sky at more than 50 meteors per hour, almost a meteor a minute, according to EarthSky.com. The new moon is expected to fall on Dec. 13, making for optimal dark skies – as long as you avoid city lights and clouds, the website states.
Be sure to schedule a night this season to bundle up, lay out some blankets and enjoy the light show in the sky.

The young Oilers failed early, often and miserably last night in their pre-season opener at the Penticton shootout. The day is ruined, the world will never be the same.
- Martin Marincin: +1 on a night when the Oilers were taking bullets by the hundreds, he was a calm, reliable defender and stood out because of it.
- Jujhar Khaira: Started slowly, but scored a goal, was +1 and had 4 shots on goal. Good in the FO circle too.
- Marco Roy: Had a brilliant chance and led the team with shots (5). Despite being -3 on the night I liked him plenty. Needs better linemates.
- Greg Chase: Loved his game. I'm a fan. Nice pass on the Khaira goal and was a problem for the other guy all night long. More please.
- Martin Gernat: Had an assist, three shots on goal. There's some chaos, but he's a very nice prospect.
- Cameron Abney: Not much to be said, he can't get to the play until it's over, and after the whistle he damaged the team with a bad penalty. I understand new management wanting to get a look at everyone, but this isn't going to end well.
- David Musil: Got beaten one on one and he doesn't have the foot speed to recover. Remains a prospect whose actual ability seems to have a wide range of opinion.
- Oscar Klebom: -3 and made an awful pass in the first period but Bunz saved it. I don't think there's much to worry about, but we should look for a stronger effort next time out.
- Tyler Bunz: Made some brilliant saves, let in some softies. The numbers don't lie, as the young man said pre-game.
- Andrew Miller: Did some nice things later in the game (3rd period) but didn't do much offensively and he needed to be better in that area. Among the players likely to get a long look at this camp, Miller was perhaps the least impressive.
There's a Canadian Press article up about the Oilers and their talent development. Everything they say is all well and good but lordy your kids need to develop. We've gone round and round on Pitlick, Hamilton and Martindale since 2010 fall, and I'm sure the Oilers are hopeful Pitlick can turn the corner. But in my opinion, there are three elements to the process:
- drafting well
- making sure your draft picks are developing at the junior/college/Euro level
- helping them develop on the farm
I think the Oilers have done a good job since Stu MacGregor took over, there's far less draft walkabout than in past years. However, last night's best forwards were taken in the last year or so–there's some buzz growing about Khaira, Chase and Roy–and whatever the fracture from junior to pro to NHL the time to find it is now. I don't think anyone can reasonably argue that Marco Roy is a poor prospect, but getting him from here to the NHL is a big thing.
The one major item we need to watch through this winter is the performance of the minor league rfa's (2014 edition). This is make or break time for this group, and some of them might not make it through the season:
- Tyler Pitlick: Remains the most highly regarded of the 2010 forward prospects drafted outside the first round, Pitlick looks like a hockey player. He's been in the ditch with his shooting percentage as a pro, and that's getting to be a fairly long track.
- Curtis Hamilton: Always cheered for him (he's a Saskatoon Blade) and he had that one fine WHL season before turning pro, but he's more suspect than prospect as he enters what might be his final season of North American hockey.
- Ryan Martindale: Like Pitlick, he's never gotten untracked offensively. Martindale posted some nice junior numbers and with the Oilers signing fewer top 6F's this summer I'm wondering if a guy like Martindale might get an extended look (say, a half season) to show his offensive ability. The danger of course is games like last night–if your man is overwhelmed by competition level, he'll never have the puck.
- Olivier Roy: He's the one guy on the list who appears to be on track as a prospect. The only danger here? MacT is going to overhaul the goalie list between now and the draft. We might see a nuclear winter for the organization's goalies.
- Taylor Fedun: He's been passed by a lot of kids and there's a truckload on the way. I wonder if he'll prefer to try another organization. Certainly nothing wrong with him as a hockey player, hope he gets his chance.
- Mark Arcobello: A big season for him, he's shown well in the AHL and may have a chance this fall to push his way to the NHL. Arcobello's offense is clear of Andrew Miller's based on Vollman's NHL equivalencies and he could be this generation's Toby Petersen (with more offensive acumen).
- Cameron Abney: I think we can make the call from here. In the hour after he was drafted I said "I suspect this is a decision by the organization to bring in some filthy players. Sort of like Bendfeld a year ago. The concern, as it was with the Coke Machines drafted 00-03, is that the Oilers are doing this extremely early. This fellow should have been available much later in this draft." Proof last night, as the invite Bilcke performed better (in a small sample size, but we've seen years of Abney).
Back in the studio today, Friday and a lot going on. Scheduled to appear:
- Steve Lansky from Big Mouth Sports. He'll have terrific insight into the Burke hiring.
- Erin McLeod, brilliant Olympian goalkeeper for Canadian's Womens Football Team
- Alan Hull from Copper and Blue. We'll argue over prospects, suspects and the Oilers opening night lineup.
- Rod Proudfoot from FC Edmonton. Eddies had a big crowd for the Cosmos and look for a strong result this weekend.
- Jungle Jim Hunter. We'll talk about the Tour of Alberta racers and their routines (eating, resting) during competition.
Lowetide_ on twitter and 10-1260 via text. We'll also talk a ton of football, CFL and NFL.

Road Crew edged by Grand Rapids
A dual meet against Grand Rapids was tied, but the Pequot Lakes/Pine River-Backus Road Crew wrestling team lost by criteria 34.33 to 33.33 in non-conference action on Tuesday, Jan. 29.
"We had a lot of different opportunities to get one more team point throughout the dual," said Road Crew coach Travis Hoffarth. "Grand Rapids is a really good team, but I think we let one slip away. We still have room for a lot of improvement, and losing stokes the fire inside."

Spring Football Game, Youth Clinic Scheduled For Saturday
April 23, 2012
Spring Game Program | Spring Game Rosters
EAST LANSING, Mich. - Michigan State football concludes its 15 spring practices under sixth-year head coach Mark Dantonio with the Green-White intrasquad game on Saturday, April 28 at 1:06 p.m. EDT in Spartan Stadium. Parking is free (in Lots 79, 56, 39/40, 41; Ramps 2 and 5; Lot 62E has been reserved for disabled parking), and the stadium gates (Gates B, C, D and G) open at 11:30 a.m. Admission is free.
For the fifth year in a row, fans have the opportunity to purchase press box seats for the spring game and enjoy the same view as the media that cover Spartan football. Only 100 press box seats - priced at $50 each - are on sale for the spring game. (Note: Minimum age requirement is 12 for press box admission.) Proceeds from the sale of press box seats will benefit the George Webster Scholarship Fund. Fans may order press box seats online at msuspartans.com. The deadline to order press box seats is 12 p.m. Friday, April 27. Click here to order your press box seats online.
Michigan State's spring game will be televised live by the Big Ten Network and streamed live on BTN2Go.com, with Eric Collins and Derek Rackley calling the action and Lisa Byington reporting from the sideline. Coverage begins at 1 p.m. ET.
The Spartan Radio Network, featuring veteran play-by-play announcer George Blaha, color analyst Jason Strayhorn and sideline reporter Will Tieman, will broadcast the Green-White spring game to seven affiliates in the state: WJIM (AM 1240) in Lansing, WBBL (FM 107.3) in Grand Rapids, WBCK (AM 930) in Battle Creek, WGHN (FM 92.1) in Grand Haven, WBCH (AM 1220) in Hastings, WKZO (AM 590) in Kalamazoo and WLDR (FM 101.9) in Traverse City. The spring game also can be heard live on satellite radio: Sirius (Channel 91) and XM (Channel 91).
In addition, msuspartans.com will provide game-day audio, live in-game statistics (GameTracker), game highlights and post-game interviews. For live in-game updates, fans also can follow @MSU_Football on Twitter.
Prior to the spring game, MSU's coaching staff and players will conduct a free youth football clinic (no registration required). Children, ages 8-12, are invited to attend the youth clinic from 10-11:30 a.m. on the grass practice fields behind the Duffy Daugherty Football Building, located at the corner of Chestnut Road and Shaw Lane. Clinic participants and their parents are requested to enter the practice fields through the gate on Shaw Lane. Over the last nine years, more than 4,500 children have participated in the annual youth football clinic.
The purpose of the clinic is to introduce youngsters to the game by stressing fundamentals. No football gear is required. In addition, clinic participants will receive a coupon for a complimentary hot dog and soft drink to be redeemed at a concession stand in Spartan Stadium during the spring game.
With kickoff moved up 30 minutes to 1:06 p.m. to accommodate live television, there is insufficient time to accommodate a post-clinic autograph session (767 youth clinic participants last April) as has been done in previous years.

Born Nov. 25, 1945, in Anderson, S.C., Webster earned three letters for the Spartans from 1964-66, while playing for legendary head football coach Duffy Daugherty. The two-time consensus All-American and two-time all-conference selection helped Michigan State to a combined record of 19-1-1 in 1965-66 as the Spartans won back-to-back Big Ten Conference and National Championships. At 6-foot-4, 218 pounds, he revolutionized the roverback position with his size and speed. As a senior, Webster recorded 93 tackles, including 10 for losses, as Michigan State ranked third nationally in rushing defense, allowing just 51.4 yards per game. In 1967, he became just the second former Spartan to have his jersey number (No. 90) retired. Webster was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1987. He has been rated among the 100 Greatest Players of All-Time by CollegeFootballNews.com.
A first-round selection (No. 5 overall) by the Houston Oilers in 1967, Webster spent 10 years in the National Football League (Houston, 1967-72; Pittsburgh, 1972-73; and New England, 1974-76). He was selected the American Football League's Rookie of the Year by United Press International after averaging more than 10 tackles per game in 1967. Webster played in three AFL All-Star Games, earning Defensive MVP honors in 1969. In 1970, he was named to the AFL's All-Time Team (first team) by a special panel of Pro Football Hall of Fame voters.
Webster died of heart failure on April 19, 2007, at the age of 61.

LANSING (WKZO) -- A bill allowing nuclear security plant officers in Michigan to use more force in response to a terrorist attack or threat is headed to the state Senate. The House passed the bill with broad bipartisan support Wednesday, 102 to 6.
Representative Al Pscholka of Stevensville has one nuclear plant in his district and another just to the north and calls his bill a "common sense" reform. He says Michigan will be in line with other states in their efforts to stay ahead of terrorists.

From Larry Brown Sports:
Serena Williams shared a picture on her Twitter account Wednesday night of her swollen right ankle and, as you can see, the area is massive in size.
Williams didn't add much context to the photo, only writing "ouch" in her tweet.
We don't know when the picture was taken, but what we do know is that Williams rolled her right ankle during her first-round match at the Australian Open last week. She managed to reach the quarterfinals despite the ankle problem, but the swelling coupled with back spasms may have contributed to her three-set loss to Sloane Stephens on Wednesday in Melbourne.

Best Homemade Gelato: 3 Tips from Mario Batali
Gelato is that dense, super-rich, intensely-flavored Italian version of ice cream. There's really nothing else quite like it. Thankfully, we don't have to travel all the way to Italy every time we crave a scoop. Mario Batali was on the Splendid Table the other week and shared a few tips on how we can make excellent gelato at home.
It's a good thing that Splendid Table hostess Lynne Rossetto Kasper and Mario Batali eventually got around to talking about homemade gelato. After listening to these two experts on Italian cuisine discuss their favorite frozen treat, we definitely had a hankering!
Here's what Batali recommends:
• Use Whole Milk - Batali points out that cream tends to coat the tongue and mute the taste of other ingredients. Whole milk delivers cleaner and more vibrant flavors.
• Look for Overripe Fruit - Overripe fruit might not be great for eating, but they're fantastic for delivering intense fruit flavor in gelatos. Here's where to use those last few bruised peaches or the slightly-shriveled cherries.
• Under-Churn the Base - Gelato is supposed to be a lot less airy than American ice cream and should actually end up fairly dense. Batali recommends stopping the ice cream machine when the mix looks like a thick custard and then freezing.
What other tips do you have for making gelato at home?

I am going to buy a new ice cream maker and would love opinions on a small-med size one, and also does anyone have a good recipe for making cones? NOT waffle cones, but just the regular sugarcone kind? It seems the ones in the store are either full of bad ingredients and the organic ones are often stale.
mmepatty--I use a Donvier hand crank. I used to have a DeLonghi electric, which wasn't bad, but it took the full 45-60 minutes to freeze the ice cream. With the Donvier, if I've frozen the container for at least a day (I just leave it in the freezer during the summer), and if the ice cream base has been completely chilled, usually I can have ice cream soft-serve ready in 20 minutes!
The pros for hand-crank, Donvier especially, are these (for me): no electricity required, speed, fewer parts to break.
The Donvier I have makes a quart or so of ice cream--the yield of most recipes.
I have the classic $40 Cuisinart electric model. Very easy to find. I love it, it's held up nicely for over a year. Takes 20-30 minutes to freeze most recipes. Makes a quart.
(This is also the model David Lebovitz recommends for home cooks, if that helps.)
I have the Cuisinart one, too. It's great!
I think ice cream is on the menu for this weekend. Mmmmm.
i'd recommend the attachment for a kitchen aid stand mixer if you have one. i've had one for 5 years now and have used it to make everything from frozen custard to frozen yogurt.
btw, the plural of gelato is gelati, not gelatos.
thanks for the help - i will go look at them!

In the midst of the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show wave, TechArt has decided to preview a special tuning project for the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. It wouldn't make any sense to prime this project for Frankfurt considering the base of this package is the just-revealed, new generation Porsche 911 . The future upgrade package features an Aerodynamic Kit I and a power kit to boost the mass appeal for the new sports car.
TechArt's Porsche package takes the smoking hot 911 and adds numerous carbon fiber trims and a new set of 20- and 21-inch Formula III forged light alloy wheels with five dynamically shaped twin-spokes, available in Sterling Silver. The interior is just as simplistic and elegant with a high-quality, all-leather interior and decorative stitching, as well as elegant styling optic packages made of carbon fiber and a new 3-spoke sport steering wheel with TechArt paddle shifters.
Nothing has been said about any power upgrades so at the very least we should expect to see the 3.4L direct-injected flat-six engine delivering 350 HP as found in the standard model. That being said, something tells us we should expect a little more from TechArt because they usually deliver something big.

Public Pension Fund Commitments Will Help Reinvigorate Economy
AFT President Lauds Efforts by Public Employees, Unions, Investment Groups
NEW YORK—American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten joined AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka at the 2011 Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting today to discuss the first of what is hoped will be more commitments to invest public pension funds in infrastructure projects to help strengthen the economy, create jobs and revitalize communities.
"Public employees, unions, investment groups and others want to be part of a renewed America. What we're talking about today is America's retirees, and future retirees, helping their country recover economically and invest in projects that might never have gotten off the ground because of budget crises," Weingarten said.
The AFL-CIO committed in June to supporting an investment of $10 billion of pension funds in job-creating infrastructure projects over five years. In addition, the AFL-CIO and the Building and Construction Trades Department of the AFL-CIO committed to working with union-affiliated money managers to invest $20 million in retrofitting buildings this year. Since June, its housing investment trust, alone, has committed more than $200 million.
Two of the nation's largest public pension funds—the California State Teachers' Retirement System (CalSTRS) and the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS)—have committed to investing in infrastructure projects. CalSTRS expects to make new infrastructure investments of between $300 million and $600 million in the current fiscal year. CalPERS has committed $800 million to invest in California infrastructure projects.
"We have seen so much finger-pointing and unfair scapegoating directed at public employees and unions," Weingarten said. "The commitments by public pension funds show that public employees are focused on solutions in a fiduciarily sound way to revitalize our communities, create jobs and strengthen our economy."
The AFT has been working for over a year with a committee of AFT leaders—many of them trustees of teacher pension plans—in an effort to utilize public pension fund assets in a manner similar to the California public pension funds' investments. That work has led to discussions with unions, including SEIU, AFSCME, NEA and IAFF, elected pension fund trustees, investment professionals and others, including members of the Clinton Global Initiative, some of whom were independently working on the same set of issues.
The final report of the AFT Ad Hoc committee on revenue and retirement security can be found at: http://www.aft.org/pdfs/press/StrengthRetireSecurity0411.pdf.
# # # #
The AFT represents 1.5 million pre-K through 12th-grade teachers; paraprofessionals and other school-related personnel; higher education faculty and professional staff; federal, state and local government employees; nurses and healthcare workers; and early childhood educators.
About the Clinton Global Initiative
Established in 2005 by President Bill Clinton, the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) convenes global leaders to devise and implement innovative solutions to some of the world's most pressing challenges. Since 2005, CGI Annual Meetings have brought together nearly 150 current and former heads of state, 18 Nobel Prize laureates, hundreds of leading CEOs, heads of foundations, major philanthropists, directors of the most effective nongovernmental organizations, and prominent members of the media. These CGI members have made more than 2,000 commitments, which have already improved the lives of 300 million people in more than 180 countries. When fully funded and implemented, these commitments will be valued in excess of $63 billion. The 2011 Annual Meeting will take place Sept. 20-22 in New York City.
This year, CGI also convened CGI America, a meeting focused on developing ideas for driving economic growth in the United States. The CGI community also includes CGI U, which hosts an annual meeting for undergraduate and graduate students, and CGI Lead, which engages a select group of young CGI members for leadership development and collective commitment-making.
