The beautiful Kruger landscape is home to an amazing array of fauna, flora, and, on occasion, cricketers! The cricket oval near Skukuza is a hidden gem, carefully maintained in amidst the Kruger bushveld. The players? An assorted bunch of Scientists, Rangers, Field Guides and community members from Skukuza, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, and the SANParks online forums, who plan to come out in the summer sun to play cricket and raise funds for SANParks!
Skukuza, Kgalagadi and the SANParks Forums have put together cricket teams to play against each other at Skukuza on the 24 of February. Accommodation has been booked and strategies are being discussed.
Says KNP spokesperson, Raymond Travers, the cricket field in the Skukuza Staff Village has hosted some interesting games over the years and annually hosts a Cricket Clinic for all the local schools.
"We get a number of the top cricketers to come and help with the clinic in the morning - Ntini, Crooks, Nel, de Villiers etc have regularly been visitors- and then all the names are thrown into a hat together with those from the Skukuza Cricket Club and team "A" and "B" are formed and play against each other later", he explains.
Travers recalls how four years ago Justin Kemp knocked a ball right over the boundary, over a line of houses and splash into the N'waswitshaka River. "Last year it was fun watching someone like Don English padding up to Andre Nel and actually knocking a couple of runs off him too", says Travers, "I think he was eventually caught behind".
Another highlight was when Derek Crooks got hold of the PA system and started giving match commentary. "While he was busy pulling AB's leg, a few warthogs ambled onto the field so Derek said: 'And now the replacement fielders go onto the field and take up the Silly Mid On position'. As you can see, the actual game isn't very serious, unless you facing Andre Nel or Makhaya Ntini", laughs Travers, "and we hope to host it this year again".
Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in the meantime put together a cricket team in 2006. "As far as anybody can remember there has never been an official cricket team in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park", says Jan Kriel, head of Field Guiding in the park. "The local community challenged the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park to get a team together and to play a friendly against them and we obliged", he explains.
The game was played at Welkom Community Village just outside the park. "Playing in the dirt was rough", he explains, "because it made the ball slow and also bowling was very difficult, but under circumstances we had to make the best of it, dust and all!"
The KTP team won the match by 5 wickets, "but what was important was the fact that the community and the park could get together and have some sport" says Kriel.
One thing led to another and Kgalagadi contacted Kruger, challenging them to a 'clash'
KNP's reply: "Bring. It. On".
As this discussion took place online, it wasn't long before the SANParks Forum Members were putting together a team, and the date for the match, the 24 of February 2007, was confirmed.
The SANParks online community has over has 8900 registered members, a number of whom have been involved in various events and activities revolving around SANParks, from 'forum meets' in the Netherlands to fundraising adventures in the KNP. "We thought, why let Kruger and Kgalagadi have all the fun?", laughs DinkyBird, a forum moderator, "We decided to join in and in the process raise some money towards one of SANParks projects, the Nossob webcam " adds DinkyBird.
Money will be raised by way of donations via the SANParks website. So far, people have pledged hundreds of rands towards the purchase of the camera to see the 'musketeer' forum team come out to play in mini-skirts, there's another R100.00 pledged if the Forum team beats the KNP guys, and R50.00 for every catch an "angel" (woman player) takes to dismiss a batswoman in the women's match, "it's all a lot of fun", adds DinkyBird, "and all the pledges add up". The fundraising target is R20 000.00.
The day's matches will run as follows: Forum Men's team vs. the KTP team in the morning, with the winner then playing the Skukuza team in the afternoon. In between, there will be a fun match where a women's forum team will play a Skukuza women's team.
KNP will host the match, and the event is set to become SANParks largest gathering of forum members, some of whom are travelling from as far as Holland to attend. "Over a hundred people in total will be involved in this great initiative", says Travers, "we're looking forward to a fabulous day".
A number of the Kgalagadi players are community members who have never had the opportunity to travel outside of their local area, "so this trip of 7000 kilometers is a once in a lifetime opportunity", says Kriel. "Thank-you to Avis, who have generously sponsored the vehicles, Cricket South Africa, who have supplied us with equipment, and Anton van Schalkwyk who, in his personal capacity, has sponsored the petrol money for the Kgalagadi team".
There will be floating trophy, kindly donated by forum member Muhammed, live online commentators, a webcam broadcasting the game for those who can't attend the match in person, and an evening event where all involved in the match can relax after a day in the sun and soak up some Kruger magic.
Watch this space for details on how to follow the game online, and get involved is what surely will go down in history as an epic day of cricket@skukuza.

Can the Denver Broncos Go Undefeated?
10/1/13 in NFL | richmacleod | 3 respect
The Denver Broncos are 4-0. The least amount of points they've scored in a game this season? 37. The most? 52. And they're not done yet. After another thrashing on Sunday, this time to the high-octane, offensive minded Philadelphia Eagles, Denver sets their target on Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys. All signs point to the Broncos being 5-0 heading into what may be the biggest one-sided match-up in NFL history in the following week--Denver vs. Jacksonville.
It's already been speculated that Week 6's match-up between the Broncos and Jaguars will register the largest point spread in NFL history. Those in Vegas who set the spreads every week have addressed the matter, suggesting the point spread may exceed 28 and reach 30. And it may be even worse than that.
Even when they're not facing the lowest of the low in the NFL, the Denver Broncos have been on a completely different planet this season. After trailing at halftime in their season opener against the defending Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens, Peyton Manning and the Broncos have absolutely dominated, winning by margins of 22, 18, 16 and 22. Not only that, but they're putting games away, outscoring their opponents 107-45 in the second half.
Now the question is, can the Denver Broncos do something only done once in NFL history--by the 2007 New England Patriots--and go 16-0 in the regular season? This is often a hotly debated topic every time a good team starts the season without a loss, but there is a very real chance that Denver at least has a shot. In 2009, while still with the Indianapolis Colts, Peyton Manning started the season 14-0 and would've almost definitely finished the regular season undefeated had head coach Jim Caldwell not pulled their starters in the final two games. If you take a moment to compare rosters, it would appear that this Denver team is far superior. Peyton Manning, Demaryius Thomas, Wes Welker, Eric Decker and Julius Thomas on offense, Trindon Holliday returning kicks and punts and don't forget that Champ Bailey and Von Miller have yet to take a single snap on defense all season. This team is loaded.
That said, there is one and only one game I could see Denver losing this entire regular season, and that's one of the face-offs against Andy Reid's new-look Kansas City Chiefs. Prior to this season I predicted the Chiefs to go 11-5 and win one of the Wild Cards. Kansas City sits at 4-0, tied with Denver for the division lead, and they appear to be getting stronger every week. Now, I don't think the Chiefs are better than Denver--that's because no one is--but with the way their offense doesn't turn over the football and their stout defense, they have every chance in the world to beat the Broncos in one of two games.
We're already a quarter through this 2013 NFL season, and so far, the Denver Broncos look as good as any team we've ever seen. Will that translate into a 16-0, or dare I say 19-0 season? We'll have to wait and see.

I've just had some teacher ask me about a shared folder on the network that would allow pupils to write to but not read or edit any other documents. The server the share would reside on is 2003 R2 Standard.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm 99% sure that you must be allowed read permissions on a folder before you can write to it. This wouldn't allow what the teacher wants, and as far as I can see it's impossible to do with Windows permissions.
The folder would be a hand-in-work folder for the staff to look at. I don't quite know WHY they need it as they can look at the pupils home area anyway.
If anyone has any thoughts I appreciate them, or maybe I should just tell the teacher it can't be done easily.
Thanks everyone

Here are your NHL trade rumors for November 3:
The Ottawa Sun had a lot to say regarding trades coming down the line.
Philadelphia Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren is apparently willing to talk trading anyone on the roster. Though I am wondering whether the win last night marks a turning point in the Flyers season possibly changing Holgren's mind.
New York Rangers are equally as desperate and might even be desperate enough to trade Michael Del Zotto.
Buffalo Sabres that seem to be on the list to be traded are: Steve Ott, Christian Ehrhoff, Drew Stafford, Patrick Kaleta and Ryan Miller.
Montreal Canadiens could be willing to trade David Desharnais but it could be easier said than done given his numbers, or lack there of, this season and the remaining years on his contract, however one of the desperate teams out there may be willing to take him on.

So here is some news about my next project that I have that just went up in Publishers Marketplace!
Courtney Summers's PLEASE REMAIN CALM, an e-novella sequel to her zombie novel THIS IS NOT A TEST, about the remaining survivors from the first novel, discovering just how high the cost of death is in a post-apocalyptic landscape, to Sara Goodman at St. Martin's, by Amy Tipton at Signature Literary Agency (World English).
I think THIS IS NOT A TEST is the novel I get the most sequel requests for and I honestly don't know what those characters did to deserve that after the hell I put them through, but I'm grateful for the expressed interest in the ones who made it out—yes, you will see familiar faces—and all the terrible things that might happen to them next. (Things are going to get very bad.) (MORE ZOMBIES!) I'll share more details when I have them. But I am very excited and I hope you are too. I am so glad my editor and agent didn't blink the first time I told them I wanted to write zombies or the second time, either.
BY THE WAY. If you haven't read THIS IS NOT A TEST, there's no time like the present! It's about a girl named Sloane who intends to kill herself the morning the zombie apocalypse starts. She ends up trapped in her high school with six other survivors instead. Think THE WALKING DEAD meets THE BREAKFAST CLUB. (I might be biased but I think it is a great read if are waiting on S5 of TWD.) You can find out more about it—excerpt, reviews, book trailer—at http://courtneysummers.ca/novels/this-is-not-a-test

I loved looking at the stars—they put in perspective how small I was compared to the Universe. Each of those hundreds of billions of stars was its own sun. It could have its own solar system of planets orbiting around it, and some of those planets could even contain life.
The vastness of possibilities in space reminded me that while my life felt important, it was tiny in the scheme of things. Human civilization was only a blink on the radar of time.
Did anyone else have these moments of amazement over the existence of humanity, when they are in awe of how they are here, and alive, even if it's only for a short while?

Perhaps the greatest work physiologist of all time, Olaf Astrand, has stated that the maximum oxygen uptake can be improved by up to 20 per cent, and in order to achieve that, work must be done at above 80 per cent of the maximum uptake
Astrand tends to work by duration of running rather than by distance and time. For example, he discovered that no other middle-distance race produced more lactic acid in the blood than the 800 metres event. To insure the athlete against this, he recommends runs of 75 and 60 seconds at maximum effort. This is deceptive, because it could be construed that these efforts are at the athlete' s best 800m pace but, in fact, they are faster.

Originally Posted by Dr Verkhoshansky on depth jump hierarchy as in other answers or articles concerning the issue of Shock Method I have to point out that my Shock method exercises are different from the exercises usually named plyometric, proposed by different authors, that include also different types of Depth Jump.
So, I will talk only about the Shock Method exercises.
The Shock Method Depth Jump should be performed with the aim "to lend springy and to jump in aloft as high as possible" after dropping from 0.75 – 1.10 m height:
- 0.75 m height, for the explosive and reactive capacity improvement;
- 1.10 m height, for the strength increasing.
In a single training session, a well prepared athlete should execute not more than 4 series of 10 repetitions with 1-2 minutes of rest between each repetition and 10 - 15 minutes between the series.
This "training séance" (work out) could be used concurrently with speed - strength exercises (sprint exercises, bounces and high speed jumps) in the same training session or in different training sessions (in the same day or in different days).
I don't think that the use of the Shock Method Dept jumps in the same training session with the explosive strength overload exercises (Barbell squat jumps or Russian Kettlebell jumps) is a good idea, because all these three kind of jumps have the same finalization but they have different level of training stimuli or training potential (the possibility to obtain the increase of explosive strength).
If these exercises are used in low dosage, sometime it's possible to use them together, but in my pinion it's better that the athlete is focused only to one type of these exercises: the choose of which of them depend from the training experience and the level of athlete.
The Shock Method Depth jump is, in the "hierarchy" of the explosive strength training means, the most powerful. In the training process it should be used only as the last step of the training stimulus increasing: maximal effort jumps without overload – Barbell jumps – Russian Kettlebell jumps – Shock method Depth jumps.
For the high level athletes, who already reached this last step, and need to increase more the training stimulus, I proposed a Super Method for the explosive strength improvement that consists in the use of Depth jump and Barbell squat in the same training session: execute the Shock Method Depth jumps after the Barbell Squats (see my article in SSTM).
Now, about your specific needs.
If you are "not elite" athlete and you need to "reach a higher level of performance in basketball and soccer, both of which I play recreationally", you should not use the training methods elaborated specifically for "elite" athletes, also if you have good results in control tests. Usually, the high level athletes have not only an high level of special physical preparedness, but they have also an high level of organism adaptation to high volume and intensity of work loads, that is incomparable with the level of a not elite athlete.
I suggest you to not use the Super Methods, but to start using correctly, step by step, all the explosive strength exercises in their training stimulus hierarchy. These exercises should be used in different training sessions with the overload exercises, finalized to the maximal strength increasing (and, for you, it's better in different days).
To increase the level of performance in basketball and soccer you could use the programs of Manual for coaches (for basketball players, for tennis players, for start acceleration speed improvement).

The resistance of the falling body (the shell) is stopped over a short movement path. This produces a sharp muscle-tension which creates instantaneously, a resilient potential of muscle-tension and stimulates a high-intensity neuro-impulse on motorneurons. This in turn promotes a faster switching of the muscles from eccentric to concentric work and a more powerful contraction. "
"the stimulus comes not from a weight, but from a free falling body (shell)"
"when free weights are employed, the magnitude of the muscles working tension is a function primarily of volitional effort. However in the shock method, the activation of the working muscles is forced. The external factor of the weight example only assists the force produced by the muscles; on the other hand, with shock regime the external factor (kinetic energy) forces the body to mobilize the innate motor resources."
simplest and most appropriate use of shock for developing explosive strength & reactive ability of the extensor muscles of the legs is the depth jump from a strictly prescribed height.study by verk:
"the experimental group utilized depth jumps (for 3 weeks; 3x/week; 40 jumps each training session). The back squat and traditional jumping exercises were eliminated from the program. The changes in the level of explosive force and reactive abilit of the neuromuscular apparatus were measured weekly on a special device.
the improvement of all recorded characteristics [speed of movement, maximum effort, maximum strength of muscle, power of effort] in the experiment group exceeded significantly the same parameters of the control group. The biggest increase in the speed of the loaded movement (V) and power (N) was found to be in beginning segment of the working amplitude of the control movement"
shock method effective for starting strength and increase in power of muscles working in ballistic movements.
- enhances effectiveness of the central regulation of the production of power (especially, through the mobilzation of a greater number of motor units, a higher frequency impulses and an enhanced synchronization of the motor neurons.
- increases the stiffness of muscles (stiffness of the sequential resilient component), this plays an important role for a fast onset of muscle contractions when they are called upon to switch rapidly from eccentric to concentric work; especially when overcoming a large external resistance, for example, in weightlifting exercises and athletic jumps.
conclusions on shock:
1. kinetic energy of the falling body which creates the intense stimulation of the muscles in an amortization phase, does not slow the speed of their subsequent contraction (which happens with weights). In fact, quite the contrary, this kinetic energy augments the speed of the resulting contraction.
2. the mobilization of muscles stimulated in the shock regime is "forced". In weightlifting exercises the magnitude of the mobilization of muscles' motor potential is dependent chiefly on volitional effort. However, in the shock method the CNS and motor apparatus are forced to react to the extreme conditions created in the amortization phase of the impact such that subsequent magnitude of muscular contraction is simply outside the realm of volitional effort.
3. has a profound training effect, which is significantly greater than any other methods of "natural" stimulation of muscles. Therefore, it is imperative not to exceed the optimum dosage and duration of use in training.
4. because of its profound effect on the CNS, the muscles, ligaments, the shock regime should be utilized in the training of highly skilled sportsman following a period of preliminary speed-strength training.
5. don't execute depth jumps with a barbell on shoulders (recommended by bompa). First and foremost this distorts the idea of the shock method and secondly, there is a significant risk of injury to the loco-motor apparatus and the spinal column. A functional lack of knowledge of biomechanics, muscle physiology, as well as an inadequate grasp of the concept of the shock method could condone such an exercise protocol.
shock should occupy a special place in the system of special physical training and be utilized at specific times of the year.
should not be included in training of children and low-level athletes. poses danger to ankle, patella, ligaments, and tendons.
Annual Training Program
The annual plan is the tool that guides athletic training over a year. It is based on the concept of periodization, which divides the annual plan into training phases, and the principles of training. An annual training program is necessary to maximize performance. In principle, this means that athletes must train continually for 11 months, then reduce the amount of work during the last month. This work should vary from regular training to facilitate physiological, psychological, and CNS rest and regeneration before beginning another year of training.
The main objective of training is to reach a high level of performance at a given time, usually the main competition of the year, based on correct development of athletic shape. Good athletic shape occurs when the degree of training is high and the psychological status enhances a high level of performance. To achieve such a performance, the coach must properly periodize and plan the entire program so the development of skills, biomotor abilities, and psycho* logical traits follow logically and sequentially. Well-organized and planned training is difficult to achieve. In many instances, the highest performance of the year does not occur at the major competition, a result of inadequate knowledge and planning experience.
In training methodology, one of the most challenging and complex problems is peaking athletic shape on the planned date. Often, athletes peak before the main competition due to being pushed to reach a high level without adequately alternating work with short regeneration phases. It is also common for athletes to peak after the top competition, the result of deficient preparation or an inadequate load or demand. A typical example of poor planning occurs in gymnastics when routines are finalized just before an important competition.
The coach must do the planning, especially for inexperienced athletes. Experienced athletes should help the coach set objectives and plan for the following year. This way, they have a say in designing their programs, and the coach can use their feedback in a positive way. Athlete involvement in planning can be an important motivational tool for them and the coach.
Periodization is one the most important concepts in training and planning. This term originates from period, which is a portion or division of time into smaller, easy-to-manage segments, called phases of training.
The concept of periodization is not new, but not everybody is familiar with its history. Periodization existed in an unrefined form for an unknown time. It is difficult to trace who initiated it. It was used in a simple form by the Greek Olympians. As mentioned, Philostratus was the vanguard of today's planning. Over the centuries, many authors and practitioners added to the process, improving the knowledge to the present status.
Since 1963, I developed many aspects of periodization, copyrighted under the names:
Periodization of Strength
Periodization of Bodybuilding
Periodization of Psychological/Mental Training
Psychological Supercompensation
Periodization of Endurance
Periodization of Nutrition
Integrated Periodization
The Chart of the Annual Plan
Periodization refers to two important aspects. Periodization of the annual plan divides it into smaller training phases, making it easier to plan and man* age a training program and ensure peak performance for the main competition of the year. Periodization of biomotor abilities refers to structuring training phases to lead to the highest level of speed, strength, and endurance.
Many are unaware of the difference between periodization as a division of the annual plan and periodization of the biomotor abilities. which results in confusion. In most sports. the annual training cycle is conventionally divided into three main phases: preparatory. competitive, and transition. The preparatory and competitive phases are divided into two sub-phases because their tasks are different. The preparatory phase has a general and a specific subphase, based on the different characteristics of training, and the competitive phase usually is preceded by a short precompetitive subphase. Furthermore. each phase is composed of macro and microcycles. Each smaller cycle has specific objectives derived from the general objectives of the annual plan. Figure 8.1 illustrates the division of the annual plan into phases and cycles.
Athletic performance depends on the athlete's adaptation, psychological adjustment to training and competitions, and development of skills and abilities. The duration of phases depends heavily on the time the athlete needs to increase training level and athletic shape. The main criterion for calculating the duration of each training phase is the competition schedule. Athletes train many months for competitions, aiming to reach their highest level on those dates. This requires organized, well-planned annual training that facilitates psychological and physiological adaptation. You can enhance the organization of an annual plan by periodizing training and using the sequential approach in developing athletic shape. However, an optimal periodization for each sport and precise data regarding the time required for an optimal increase in the degree of training and athletic shape is not yet exact. Individual characteristics, psychophysiological abilities, diet, and regeneration increase this difficulty. You can facilitate your planning ability by developing a model plan that you can continually improve, based on yearly observations.
Needs of Periodization
Adaptation created the different training phases because athletes progressively develop and perfect functions over a long period. Also consider physiological and psychological potential and realize athletes cannot maintain athletic shape at a high level throughout the year. Athletes should precede any increase in training work with an unloading phase in which they decrease the training level. Develop athletes' physiological foundation during the preparatory phase, and strive for perfection according to the needs of competitions during the competitive phase.
The methodology of developing skills, strategic maneuvers, and biomotor abilities also requires a special approach, unique for each training phase. The athlete learns a skill sequentially throughout training phases over time; this is also true for strategical maneuvers. The closer to perfection a skill becomes. the more sophisticated strategical tools a coach can use. Periodization also influences developing a sequential approach to perfecting biomotor abilities. Enhancing athletic shape requires increasing the volume and intensity of training in an undulatory manner. as proposed by the principle of load progression.
Climatic conditions and the seasons also play decisive roles in the needs of periodizing training. The duration of a training phase often depends on climate. Seasonal sports. such as skiing, rowing, and soccer, are restricted by climate. In sports such as rowing and soccer, winter is always the preparatory phase, and the competitive phase is in the summer or spring and fall. The reverse is true for winter sports such as skiing and hockey.
Competition and intense training specific to the competitive phase has a strong component of stress. A phase of stressful activities, such as maximum concentration and CNS fatigue, should not be long. even though most athletes and coaches may be able to cope. It is important to alternate stressful phases with periods of recovery and regeneration, during which the athletes experience less pressure. Such a phase, usually the transition phase, creates a favorable mood and generates potential, providing a solid foundation for the following period of heavy work.
Classifying Annual Plans
Simple annual plans have been used since ancient Olympic Games. Philostratus referred to a preparatory phase for the ancient Olympic Games with few informal competitions before and a rest period after. A similar approach was used for the modern Olympic Games (1896 in Athens, Greece). and by U.S. college athletes at the beginning of the 20th century. Planning has progressively become more sophisticated, culminating with the German programs for the 1936 Olympic Games. when coaches used a 4year plan and annual plans. After World War II, the Soviets started a state-funded sports program with the scope of using athletics as the stage to demonstrate the superiority of their political system.
In 1965. Matveyev published a model of an annual plan based on a questionnaire that asked athletes how they trained. He analyzed the information statistically and produced an annual plan divided into phases, sub-phases. and training cycles. Some enthusiasts called it the classical model, forgetting what had been done before Matveyev from Philostratus onward. The difference between the specialists of the early 1900s and post-World War II is that the Russians, Germans, and Romanians have published books and articles about planning.
Figures 8.2 through 8.5 illustrate models produced by four authors.
Although annual plans differ according to the specifics of the sport. classification depends on the number of competitive phases in a plan. Seasonal sports such as skiing, canoeing, and football, or sports with one major competition during the year, use only one competitive phase. Such an annual plan is a monocycle; since there is only one competitive phase, there is only one peak (figure 8.6). This plan is divided into preparatory. competitive. and transition phases. The preparatory phase includes general and specific preparation. In figure 8.6, note the relationship between general and specific preparation: as one decreases the other increases substantially.
The competitive phase is divided into smaller sub-phases. The precompetitive subphase, which usually includes exhibition competitions only, precedes the subphase of main competitions, in which all official competitions are scheduled (C). Before the most important competition of the year, the coach plans two shorter phases. The first is an unloading phase (U), or tapering off, of lower volume and intensity so athletes can regenerate and supercompensate before the main competition. A special preparation phase follows, during which the coach may make technical and tactical changes. The coach can organize this phase separately or with the unloading phase and may use it for relaxation and psychological preparation for competitions.
During the preparatory and early competitive phases, emphasize training volume with low levels of intensity according to the specifics of the sport. During this period. quantity of work should dominate. as opposed to the competitive phase when you emphasize work intensity or quality ..
Another important point: as the competitive phase approaches. the training volume curve decreases drastically while the intensity curve increases (figure 8.6). Such a monocycle model is typical for sports dominated by speed and power. The volume curve decreases to allow the coach to concentrate on speed and power.
The model illustrated in figure 8.6 is not appropriate for everyone. Training specialists from endurance sports would be mistaken to follow figure 8.6. For sports in which ergogenesis is close to 50-50% or dominant aerobic. the curve of the training volume must be high throughout the competitive phase as well. Otherwise. the development of specific endurance will be insufficient and negatively affect the final performance. For aerobic-dominant sports. I have pro* vided another model (figure 8.7). Please note in figure 8.7. the division of the annual plan in the training phases is based on the type of endurance training the athlete will perform. Also. the volume of training. so important for aerobic sports. is dominant throughout the year.
A completely different approach is taken in sports that have two separate competitive seasons such as track and field. in which indoor and outdoor sea* sons are common. Because there are two distinct competitive phases. such a plan is called a bicycle (bi in Latin means two). Figure 8.8 illustrates a bicycle that incorporates the following training phases:
• Preparatory phase I. which should be the longer preparatory phase.
• Competitive phase I.
• Short transition (12 weeks) linked with a preparatory phase II. The unloading transition phase is for recovery.
• Competitive phase II.
• Transition phase.
A bi-cycle consists of two short monocycles linked through a short unload*ing/transition (U/T) and preparatory phase. For each cycle, the approach may be similar except for training volume, which in preparatory phase I is of much higher magnitude than in preparatory phase II. Also, the level of athletic shape may be lower in competitive phase I. (In our example of track and field, the outdoor championships are usually more important.) This is illustrated by the curve of the athletic shape, which reaches the highest values during competitive phase II.
Again, for endurance sports, the volume curve must always be higher than intensity, even during the competitive phase. This approach will ensure proper emphasis on the dominant energy system, which in the end (competitive phase II) will translate into better performance.
It is not unusual for sports like boxing, wrestling, and gymnastics to have three big competitions during the annual plan (for instance, national championships, a qualifying meet, and the competition itself). Assuming each competition is 3 or 4 months apart, an athlete would have three competitive phases, and the plan would be a tricycle (Latin tri, meaning three).
As illustrated by figure 8.9, a tricycle incorporates the following sequence of training phases:
• A long preparatory phase I
• Competitive phase I
• A short unloading, transition, or preparatory phase II
• Competitive phase II
• Unloading, transition, or preparatory phase III
• Competitive phase III
• Transition
When planning a tricycle, the most important competition of the three should occur during the last cycle. The first of the three preparatory phases should be the longest, during which the athlete builds the technical, tactical, and physical foundations that will foster the following two cycles. Be* cause such a plan is conventionally used with advanced athletes, the general preparation subphase is only in the early part of the first cycle. Also the curve of volume is the highest, reflecting the relative importance of training volume in the preparatory phase I, as opposed to the following two preparation phases.
The curve of intensity for each cycle follows a pattern similar to a monocycle. Both the volume and intensity curves drop slightly for each of the three un* loading phases preceding the main competitions. For the curve of athletic shape, the coach would plan the highest peak for the third cycle, which corresponds with the main competition of the year.
Finally, sports such as tennis, martial arts, and boxing have four or more competitions when peak performance is desirable (figure 8.10). In such cases, the structure of the annual plan differs in that the preparatory phase, so important for developing skills and biomotor abilities, is short. Although international athletes with a good foundation of training during the early years of athletic development may find it easy to cope with such a heavy schedule, children and teenagers do not. This is why many young tennis players burn out before they have a chance to experience the satisfaction of winning major tournaments.
A multicycle of four or more competitive phases is a challenging task. This is especially true if the athlete skips a quiet preparatory phase in which to regenerate and focus on improving biomotor skills in an un-stressful environment. We see this situation in tennis, in which many players are injured or withdraw from tournaments because of physical and mental exhaustion.
Selective Periodization
Programs for young athletes often follow those specifically produced for mature and advanced athletes. I would like to propose that everyone concerned look at periodization from the point of view of athletes' readiness for heavy schedule competitions. Irrespective of whether you are in a sport of multi peaks, consider the following sequence of types of annual plans.
A monocycle is for novice and junior athletes. The advantage of such a plan is that it has long preparatory phases, free from the stress of competitions. This allows the coach to concentrate on developing skills and a strong foundation of physical training.
A bicycle is for experienced athletes who can quality for national championships. Even then, the preparatory phase should be as long as possible, to allow time to train fundamentals.
A tricycle and multi-peak plan are recommended only for advanced or international athletes. Presumably, these athletes have a solid foundation and their background allows them to handle an annual plan with three or more peaks with greater ease.
Although the duration of training phases depends on the competition schedule, table 8.1 could be a good guideline for distributing weeks per training phase.
Stress——Planning and Periodization
Stress is a significant by-product of training and competition, which if not properly manipulated may affect athletes' performance and behavior. Because training deals primarily with biological and psychological components, stress is considered the sum of these phenomena, elicited by internal and adverse external influences.
Throughout training and competition, athletes experience biological, psychological, and sociological stressors. Stress is additive and is produced by competition, the audience, peers, family, coach's pressure to perform well, and training intensity. A wise coach deals with these athletic by-products by training athletes to cope and by planning the stress properly throughout the annual plan. Again, the concept of periodization is an important tool in properly planning stress. As shown in figure 8.11, the curve of stress does not have the same magnitude throughout the annual plan, a distinct advantage of periodization.
Please note in figure 8.11 that the curve of stress parallels the curve of intensity-the higher the intensity, the higher the stress. The shape of the curve is low during the transition phase, progressively elevates through the preparatory phase, and fluctuates during the competitive phase because of alternating stressful activities (competitions) with short regeneration periods. During the preparatory phase, the magnitude of the stress curve is the outcome of the relationship between training volume and intensity. While the volume or quantity of training is high, the intensity is lower, because it is difficult to emphasize a high amount of work and an elevated intensity simultaneously (with the probable exception of weightlifting). Training intensity is a prime stressor. Because the coach emphasizes it less than training volume through most of the preparatory phase, the curve of stress is also low. One exception to this may be testing dates, which could stress some athletes, especially those who find it difficult to meet the standards. Similarly, because coaches in team sports select the team during the preparatory phase, the days before selection are often stressful as well.
The stress curve throughout the competitive phase has an undulatory structure because of alternating competitive with developmental and re* generation microcyc1es. It appears evident, therefore, that the number of competitions and their frequency cause an elevated stress curve. When top competitions are more frequent, athletes experience more stress. In these cases, the coach must plan a few days of regeneration following competitions, and only when athletes are almost recovered do they participate in intensive training lessons again. Similarly, the coach would be wise to plan a short unloading period (23 days) before important competitions.
Apart from alternating high and low stressful activities, the coach may also use relaxation techniques to help athletes cope. Some athletes cope well, and others have more difficulty. Those who have difficulty dealing with stress may need more than motivational and relaxation techniques. When selecting athletes, the coach should consider psychological tests that sort the candidates according to the needs of high-performance athletics.
The ability of athletes to cope with stress depends, to a high degree, on the coach. The coach has to plan the program to allow phases of regeneration and relaxation and introduce athletes to mental training and its specific techniques.
I strongly believe that athletes' psychological behavior depends on their physiological wellbeing. In other words, athletes' mental state is a by* product of their physiological condition. This is why I believe that, "Perfect fitness results in the best psychology!" A well-planned periodized program will ensure superior psychological readiness, stress management, and mental training.
While creating a periodized training program, the coach should produce a psychological periodization (please also refer to Integrated Periodization later in this chapter). Canadian psychologists were among the first to realize the necessity of psychological periodization. Following are the mental training phases as suggested by Bacon (1989).

- About WERS
Carsie Blanton is based in Philly, grew up in Virginia, started her first band while living in Oregon, and based her latest album on her experiences from frequent visits in New Orleans, the city that stole her affection. Currently, touring all over the US, and today she stopped by for Live Music Week to share some acoustic jams from Idiot Heart, her richly influenced and witty third release.
In studio, she performed three tracks including "Chicken," which she says is one of the songs she wrote about her friends' romances while her own love life was feeling non-eventful (Awesome first line: "Loving you is like kissing a chicken"). Her combination of classic pop, folk, rock, and blues give her an old-school uniqueness, while her lyricism and flair are candid and refreshing. Also, rumor has it she can do the Lindy Hop.
Congratulations to WERS News on winning 11 AP awards this year

Questions Christians Hope No One Will Ask
- Monday, October 18, 2010
As I've been exploring these matters for the last twenty-five years or so, I've come to believe that today, perhaps more than in any other period of human history, the fingerprints of God have become exceedingly evident for anyone who is willing to search for them. Each of these arguments is powerful on its own and has convinced many people of the reality of God. But when considered together, along with our own testimonies of experiencing him in our daily lives, the cumulative case is staggering.
Evidence #1: The Existence of the Universe
Throughout history, many people have supposed that the universe always existed. A number of famous ancient thinkers from the East (such as Lao Tzu, a central figure in the Taoist religion) and the West (such as Aristotle) believed that the universe is eternal—in other words, that it never had a beginning. This was a fairly prevalent view among philosophers and scientists up until the twentieth century. They had their reasons for believing this, but there was no effective way to either confirm or disconfirm their beliefs—until recently.
Fortunately, in the last several decades there has been an exponential growth of understanding in many areas of science, especially in physics, astronomy, and cosmology. This third area, cosmology—which is the study of the origin, structure, and development of the physical universe—has seen explosive advancements in recent years. Let's look at one example.
In 1915, Albert Einstein developed the general theory of relativity (which is far too complex to explain in this chapter, even if I could fully explain it!). This theory, which is now almost universally accepted, has certain implications. One is that the universe—defined as time, space, matter, and physical energy—had a starting point in history. And, since it had a beginning, it's not eternal as Lao Tzu and Aristotle believed. As a matter of fact, through Einstein's equations we can trace the development of the universe back to its very origin, back to what's called the singularity event when it actually popped into being (what is often referred to as the "Big Bang").
Now, many scientists and others, including Einstein himself, didn't like this result (perhaps because it sounded too much like the biblical account of Creation?). So they tried to find an error in the equations—one that would allow for the universe to be understood as eternal after all. But they didn't succeed. And recent experimental observations have provided even more support showing that Einstein had it right: the universe really did have a beginning.
One of the scientific confirmations of Einstein's theory was provided by the Hubble Space Telescope, named after American astronomer Edwin Hubble. This impressive telescope allowed astronomers to see that the universe is actually expanding—and the farther away the galaxy is, the faster it's moving. This led most scientists to further reinforce their conclusion that the universe had a beginning point from which it began this expansion process.
So how does this Hubble confirmation of the origin of the universe provide evidence for God? Great question! Here's how: if the universe had a starting point in history, then obviously it began to exist. But if it began to exist, then it must have had a cause for its existence. Things don't just begin to exist without a cause. Science itself operates on the principle that all events need a cause. As Einstein once declared, "The scientist is possessed by a sense of universal causation."
But if the universe needs a cause for its coming into being, then that cause must be beyond the universe. As we saw earlier, the universe—by definition—is time, space, matter, and physical energy. So the cause for the universe must be something beyond time and space and matter and physical energy. In other words, the cause must be something uncannily similar to what we commonly refer to as "God"!

After he deficates (it's not runny) he gets really hyper and runs for a min or two then he's normal. No changes in appetite or energy. The vet said to just watch him but he did it again this morning and the vets closed. Any input would be appreciated.

University of Connecticut basketball legend Tate George has been in prison for six months already, but now his sentencing has been postponed for the second time until mid-May.
George was convicted in late September on four felony counts of wire fraud in connection with running a Ponzi scheme that prosecutors say could have involved as much as $7 million and at least 10 victims. He was originally scheduled to be sentenced in mid-January, but the court date has been postponed twice because an interview between George and his probation officer for a pre-sentence report was delayed due to snowstorms, said David E. Schafer, George's federal public defender.
The attorney said that George has been following the success of the UConn men's basketball team, but he had not seen his client since UConn qualified for the Final Four on Sunday with a victory at Madison Square Garden.
"I saw him a couple of weeks ago,'' Schafer said in an interview. "I'm sure they're all watching the games at The Pod. Each pod has a TV in the main room. I know they get CBS.''
George, 45, is being held without bail in his home state of New Jersey at the minimum-security Monmouth County jail, which has more than 1,300 inmates living in pod-style housing in various sections of the jail.
"He has adapted well,'' Schafer said of George's view of prison life. "He's lost about 15 pounds because of the diet. Other than that, his feelings are good.''
During a trial in September 2013 in federal court in Trenton, prosecutors repeatedly branded George as a liar, saying that the former NBA first-round draft pick used fraudulent financial documents to trick investors into giving him more than $2 million in a Ponzi scheme. The government charged that George used the money from investors to give nearly $250,000 to himself, his brother, his former wife, two girlfriends and others. He also spent more than $60,000 for renovations on a home in New Jersey, $19,000 to pay federal taxes, nearly $3,000 for his daughter's Sweet Sixteen party, nearly $3,000 to promote a Tate George reality show that is still available on YouTube, and thousands more for insurance, travel and daily expenses, prosecutors said.
But George testified that all personal expenses were paid from money that he earned in his real estate investment business as developer's fees. His attorney portrayed the once high-flying basketball star as an inexperienced real estate developer whose luck ran out as various construction proposals fell through and were never built.
Schafer made reference during the trial to George's celebrity as a former star who made one of the most famous shots in college basketball history. In an improbable play, George caught a long inbounds pass from teammate Scott Burrell, spun around in one motion, and sank a buzzer-beater in 1990 against Clemson in the NCAA Sweet 16 game. George then became the 22nd player overall chosen by the New Jersey Nets, and he later played briefly with the Milwaukee Bucks and the Philadelphia 76ers.
"Mr. George, when he made that shot, thought he was empowered," Schafer told the jury. "But fortune turned on him."
The investors who lost money include former UConn and current NBA player Charlie Villanueva, former NBA player Brevin Knight, a municipal judge, a Rhodes scholar and a law school student who had inherited money. George testified that he was trying to get fellow UConn basketball players to invest in a retail development in Bridgeport that was never built. The one former UConn player who did invest was Villanueva, who never recovered his $250,000 investment with George.
In a pending motion for acquittal that will be heard by a federal judge in May, Schafer wrote, "George did not have any knowing scheme to defraud Charlie Villanueva or present any false pretenses to him to obtain money because factors other than what George presented to him caused Villanueva to invest with the George group.'' Instead, Schafer said that another NBA teammate on the Detroit Pistons, Chucky Atkins, had in fact convinced Villanueva to invest with George.
But Villanueva testified that he "never authorized any of my money to go elsewhere other than the project'' in Bridgeport. The testimony showed that Villanueva's money had been spent, and he never received anything back.
George testified that he still intends to pay back the investors, but prosecutors scoffed at the notion during the trial and said that the investors should have been paid back years ago.

Dear David,
My friend wears glasses but is obviously pretty. How can I make her feel bad about herself? I would like to date her.
* * *
Dear DarkDragon214,
One great way to make her feel bad about herself is to flirt with other girls in front of her—particularly girls who do not wear glasses. Similarly, consider purchasing a magic potion that will cure you of your mild physical disabilities and transform you into a debonair jock. This will work, as girls are easily tricked by magic. For instance, did you know that Fiona Apple once dated David Blaine? It's true! Also, sorry, I'm just assuming you're disabled.
Hope this helps,
