The Impacts of Automation and High Frequency Trading on Market Quality
In recent decades, US equity markets have changed from predominantly manual markets with limited competition to highly automated and competitive markets. These changes occurred earlier for NASDAQ stocks (primarily between 1994 and 2004) and later for NYSE-listed stocks (mostly following Reg NMS and the 2006 introduction of the NYSE hybrid market). This paper surveys the evidence of how these changes impacted market quality and shows that overall market quality has improved significantly, including bid-ask spreads, liquidity, and transitory price impacts (measured by short-term variance ratios). The greater improvement in market quality for NYSE-listed stocks relative to NASDAQ stocks beginning in 2006 suggests causal links between the staggered market structure changes and market quality. Using proprietary data sets, provided by two exchanges, that identify the activity of high frequency trading firms, studies show these firms contributed directly to narrowing bid-ask spreads, increasing liquidity, and reducing intraday transitory pricing errors and intraday volatility.

Without the for i from 0 to 10 clause it appears to work as expected. The construction is used in Ironclad macros expansion, so it is not an academical example, however unfortunate the duplication of variable name may be. Regards, Tomas

Amazing! Super clean. Well decorated. Bed pretty comfortable. Fridge and microwave in room. Was able to get delicious pizza delivered to room. Staff friendly. Pool and hot tub great for relaxing after long drive. Elevator a little slow. Breakfast was adequate. Would stay again. Would recommend.
We stayed only one night. The hotel is nothing special on the outside, but the inside is very nice. Clean, attractive. Will most likely stay there again.

Should have opened in background per "browser.tabs.loadInBackground" setting but due to Bug 695482 it no longer does.
A new pref in about:config to override the changes in bug 695482 is required.
"is required" is a little strong. "is humbly requested" perhaps? :)
I want to be clear that the reason I'm going to fix this is:
- our previous behavior was long-standing, and some people have gotten used to it
- adding a pref is trivial, and introduces very little maintenance overhead
I don't want this to be perceived as a precedent that implies we'll be adding prefs to every new behavior change, because we aren't going to do that.

Thanks Gavin. My statement 'is required' was meant to mean a new pref would be needed, rather than hooking the behavior of "browser.tabs.loadInBackground".
Fully understood about it 'not becoming a norm' for changes.

If "California Gurls": The Beach Boys' "California Girls," is "Teenage Dream," Katy Perry's latest video, somehow akin to the Beach Boys' teen-symphony masterpiece Pet Sounds? Um, what do you think? Advertisement While the song's not exactly "God Only Knows" caliber (it's not even "Cocomo" caliber), by Perry's standards, this video is practically demure! Sure, there are lyrics like "let's go all the way tonight/no regrets just love" and "put your hands on me in my skintight jeans/I'll be your teenage dream tonight" and, yes, there's some obligatory suggestive popsicle-licking and girls-sharing-bubblegum. But listen, the girl has a sweet tooth! And after the Guccione-goes-to-Candyland fantasia that was "California Gurlz," this might as well be health-food.Here's the "plot": Perry watches some model-esque dude boxing, cut with shots of them in a convertible, engaging in some very irresponsible on-road horseplay. He's wearing a trucker hat. A large party of friends arrives on some beach, leaps into the water in slow-mo in bikinis and dances with reckless abandon. Bonfires are involved. Meanwhile, Perry and model-dude get it on in a motel room, PG-13 style.In short, it's boring. Like the song itself. Good influence? Probably not: the "teenage dream," while it's not exactly a parent's nightmare, isn't exactly aiming high. More problematic is the suggestion of being a "teen" to satisfy your man's fantasies. But then, finding flaws and the problematic in Perry's work is akin to listening to it: easy, addictive, pointless and it'll ultimately drive you crazy with its ubiquity.Reply134 repliesLeave a reply

Navigating Differences by John DeCecco
Book DescriptionNavigating Differences: Friendships Between Gay and Straight Men is a one-of-a-kind cross-sexual study that shows you how today's gay and straight men build, maintain, and foster true friendships. In this activist, participatory study, you'll get a day-in-the-life look at 44 pairs of cross-sexual men's friendships and see what helps them negotiate the terrain of their emotional, sexual, psychological, and social differences in today's climate of often publicly defended homophobia and heterosexism. Navigating Differences succeeds in bringing the true picture of cross-sexual men's relationships to you, regardless of your personal orientation or political affiliation. You'll find information--straight from the lives of the study's participants--that shows you how different sexual orientations impact the way men spend time together, maintain friendships, cope with sexual struggles, and open good communication channels. Most importantly, you'll get detailed facts and feedback concerning: * hegemonic masculinity * embracing, struggling with, and ignoring differences * group demographic characteristics * embeddedness and emotional communication * outness * in-groups, out-groups, and reference groups Hearsay and prejudice might claim to know what gay and straight men think of each other, but Navigating Differences replaces rumors with research and shows you what really keeps gay and straight men in lasting friendships in all arenas of life. You'll learn firsthand what it takes to overcome differences and what it means to turn difference into meaningful relationships.

Behind the Mask of the Mattachine, Hardback (November 2006)
The Mattachine is the origin of the contemporary American gay movement. This work travels back to the times before Stonewall and its aftermath, to the beginnings of the modern homosexual movement and the lesser-known individuals who started it. This chronicle gives the history of the activists who organized homosexuals.
Men, Homosexuality, and the Gods, Hardback (August 2004)» View all books by John DeCecco
An eye opening look at the traditions of particular religions and their edicts concerning gay sex. Draws a parallel between homosexuality and the idea of religion, suggesting that gay rights can be understood as a freedom of religion issue.

This check is wrong since the introduction of TiledTextureImage allows us to ahve TextureImages bigger than an individual texture. It causes unpainted buffers if you try to use a displayport bigger than 2k for example.
On the other hand, we don't use TiledTI on desktop, so there the check may still be required. I don't know what the worst case scenario is on desktop, probably it just fails with GL errors, which would be no worse than not doing any painting.
The check was introduced due to a pecularity of the SGX driver that caused a system lock or reboot when you fed it too large textures if I remember correctly.
I propose dropping this check or replacing it with a check that takes into account how big a Texture*Image* can be on the used backend.
Created attachment 554088 [details] [diff] [review]
just drop the check
It sounds better to add a GLContext::MaxTextureImageSize() (or similar) and have that return an appropriate value for each platform.

Add mMaxTextureImageSize
I added 'mMaxTextureImageSize' instead of adding a virtual call. We're trading off GLint of storage to save a virtual call.

I don't really understand this part.
Why are our tiled texture images limited to 4x the normal width? I can't see anywhere in the TiledTextureImage code that would create this limitation. If it does exist, it probably should be exposed through a static ::GetMaxTiles() func, or some sort of static var.
Why are we clamping to a minimum of 2048? I thought we required mMaxTextureSize to be at least 2048, this this should always be 4x that?
This should probably just be an assertion rather than adjusting the var.
Right, now that I think more about it this code is useless. I meant to limit this to a reasonable size such as 8192x8192.
I'm going to remove this check.
What would be an appropriate value for MaxTextureImageSize? Should we return int_max?
That seems reasonable to me.

Working hard to overcome adversity in pursuit of goals is part of the American Dream, yet one in five Americans face workplace and employment discrimination due to a disability. The mislabeling that marginalizes people with disabilities leaves the Hillsborough County community with disabilities at a 40% poverty rate, stifling community and economic growth – a system that is hardly working.
Each stereotype placed on a person with disabilities hinders his or her chance to reach their full potential, gain employment, and give back to their community. MTC seeks to provide perspective and change misconceptions about people with disabilities.
MTC has been a leading resource and progressive advocate for persons with disabilities since 1953. Today, the organization's primary areas of service include educational, vocational, and residential supports for persons with disabilities. It is MTC's mission to empower people with disabilities to lead the lives they choose and to be a stepping stone to successful and long-term community employment.
This service is catered for individuals who desire a job, primarily those with I/DD who have moved up through Job Skills, and may require long term support. Employment Specialists will work with the individuals to obtain, secure, and maintain employment along with résumé building, interview strategies, training, and resolution of workplace issues. This service will continue throughout the duration of employment.
This service is designed for those with Intellectual/ Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) who desire a job but need additional employment skills. Individuals in this service will receive training in both Job Skills– technical training for specific positions based on his or her interests– and Soft Skills which includes the EPIC Curriculum, computer skills, fitness for stamina, social skills, community integration, and volunteerism.
This service is perfect for individuals primarily with physical disabilities who desire a job, wish to reenter the workforce and typically do not require any additional training. Employment Specialists will assist individuals in making connections to obtain employment. This service ends 90 days after hire date.
To learn more about how to get involved with MacDonald Training Center, please fill out the form below or feel free to contact directly with the information provided below. Together, we can help those who have been MISLABELED find opportunities they deserve.

Telling tales: Songwriters Stephanie Bettman and Luke Halpin bring stories to life
By Kim Dixon Perez 12/13/2012
3 Responses to Pasadena Weekly
Hi Stephanie and Luke,
I don't see a way to contact you, so will try a question this way.
I heard you last Oct. in Portland, Or., at a library. Sure enjoyed the program. I really, really want your song "Diggin' In The Dirt". Couldn't see any way to view the songs on the different cd's. Have you recorded it yet? Also, I missed you when you came to S.F. Bay area (where I live). Are we on your future schedule? God bless!
Wow, amazing blog layout! How long have you been blogging for?
you made blogging look easy. The overall look of your website is magnificent, as well as

|Home PageCVI CamerasOYN-X Vari-Focal CCTV HD CVI Dome Camera
OYN-X Vari-Focal CCTV HD CVI Dome Camera £59.99
This high quality video surveillance camera with day & night vision from OYN-X is ideal for home and business security.
This range is a high quality but competitively priced offering, geared towards smaller business and home security applications who do not wish to compromise on their high definition multi channel security solutions.This high quality video surveillance camera with day & night vision from OYN-X is ideal for home and business security.
There are two basic types of CCTV lenses. You can either get a fixed lens, or a vari-focal lens. A fixed lens has a set aperture that cannot be changed. They can be used for overviews or for close up detail, but they cannot be used for both or be adjusted. When you purchase a fixed lens, you will want to use a lens caluculator to make sure you are getting a lens with the correct aperture since you cannot adjust it once you install it.
A Vari-Focal lens is usually more expensive, but it allows you to adjust the aperture on the fly. This leaves less room for error and would also allow you to make changes to the view at a later date. Varifocal lenses come in various apertures. These are the general lense sizes. 2.8-12mm lens, 3.5-8mm lens, 6-60mm lens, and 5-100mm lens. The larger the aperture number, the more zoomed in the image will appear and the greater detail that can be captured. The smaller the aperture number, the wider the view and less detail will be captured. Keep in mind that all lenses have a give or take. The larger the aperture, the greater the detail, but you will get less of a field of view, so the image will be narrower. The smaller the aperture, the wider the field of view, but the less detail you will get.
Why CVI?
The CVI is also very secure as the camera encodes the picture and the recorder decodes this.
The CVI provide hi resolution picture quality without having to put in or change existing cabling infrastructure.
These 4X-EYE-VFG36-CVI cameras have the same cutting edge features as the most advanced cameras for business and home security, while being compatible with older wiring systems. Some installer and customers like this technology as it is possible for you to stage the upgrading of your entire system in a modular way which means you don't have to replace all your cameras immediately if you don't want to . The cameras are cost effective and really easy to set-up.
Many installers prefer these cameras for their ease-of-use & features parallel to those of more expensive models.

OK, we'll forgive the fact that the HTC Aria seen here in this Best Buy circular is shown bigger than both the Evo 4G and LG Ally. Call it creative license.

Email connection
Hi all I have just bought my wife a KindleFire HD for her 68th birthday. We are both brand new to this technology. I seem to have managed to do most things, linked to wireless, set up skype, downloaded a book & and some music and sent my wife a document. However, connecting to my Email account has eluded my limited skill based!
I am with Talktalk and I am pretty sure I am typing in the right email account details but it fails to register each time .
Any suggestions would be more than welcome.
p.s. when I do connect will she be able to send emails from her KindleFire when connected to the internet?

Re: Email connection
What we will need to know is how you have it set up now.
According to the talk talk site (What are TalkTalk's email settings?) the setting should be:
Login email@example.com
Incoming email (POP3) mail.talktalk.net
Outgoing email (SMTP) smtp.talktalk.net
So, into settings, down to "My Account", then to "Manage Email..." then click on the talk talk account you set up (neat the bottom of the screen?) then check incoming and out going settings to make sure they match the above. Then try again - or ask here if there is something which you don't understand.
One thing - if your wife also receives email on another machine (laptop, desktop etc), it's probably best to consider using IMAP everywhere rather than POP3. But that's a discussion for another day.

Extremely Rare 1878-S Half to Sell In Heritage ANA Signature Auction
Dallas, Texas: Heritage Numismatic Auctions will be offering an extremely rare 1878-S Half Dollar in its official ANA Signature Auction taking place in Pittsburgh, August 18-21. This problem-free coin, which has been off the market for more than a decade, has been graded XF40 by NGC. The ANA auction will also feature a second example, graded Good-6 and uncertified.
The 1878-S is a key issue in the Seated Liberty Half Dollars, and is a coin rarely seen on the market as most examples are locked up in major collections. Of the 12,000 pieces struck, only 60 or so are believed extant today in all grades. "The survival rate for many 19th century issues averages around 1% of the mintage," noted Heritage President Greg Rohan, "but the 60 surviving 1878-S halves translate into only 0.005 % survivorship. Even worse for modern collectors, most of the few halves that were produced in 1878 were simply "worn out" from circulation."
"Numismatists studying 19th century silver politics," continued Rohan, "are fascinated by the swings in these special interest and political policy decisions, such as the Bland-Allison Act of 1878. When the Comstock Lode was discovered in the late 1850s by Henry T. P. Comstock, a.k.a. 'Old Pancake,' a mountain of silver was mined; as it entered world markets, the price for silver (as reckoned in gold dollars) dropped significantly. Western mining interests had powerful friends in Congress, and Rep. Richard P. 'Silver Dick' Bland and Sen. William Boyd Allison came to the rescue of the mine owners by passing a bill that required the Treasury to purchase between $2 and $4 million of new domestic silver each month. This silver was mandated to be minted into silver dollars -- simply because silver dollars were heavier than two half dollars, four quarters, or ten dimes."
"Enactment of the Bland-Allison Act," continued Mark Van Winkle, Heritage's Chief Cataloger, "meant that the various mints ceased meaningful production of minor silver coinage - coinage needed for commerce! In order to meet the mandated number of silver dollars required by the Bland-Allison Act, the mints diverted most of their resources to striking silver dollars. Since this denomination wasn't truly needed for commerce, many bags of silver dollars sat in government vaults for much of the next century."
Mintage figures for the 1878-S Half Dollars reflect this chaotic and politically charged milieu, as the mint's energies were diverted from necessary to politically motivated coinage. That year, the San Francisco mint produced 140,000 quarters, 1/64th of the number it turned out the previous year. Only 12,000 half dollars were struck, whereas 5.3 million pieces had been minted in 1877. But a staggering 13.8 million silver Morgan and trade dollars were stamped out.
"This particular coin," concluded Van Winkle, "has original, untampered surfaces that show a gray-lilac overlay of patina on each side with a significant presence of underlying golden coloration. The design elements show even wear over the highpoints. This is an opportunity to acquire this major rarity in problem-free XF condition, at a major public auction."
Featured collections in Heritage's August Pittsburgh ANA Signature Sale include the Karl Scheible Collection of first year of issue coins, Part Three of the Paulsboro Collection, Part Two of the Harold W. Anderson Collection, Part Two of The Del Rio Collection; The Frank O. Fredericks Collection, Part Five; The Greenwich Collection, Part Two; The Dr. Frank Lanza Collection; The JFS Collection, Part Two; and The John Michael Stuart Collection.

This was mentioned in a few places yesterday, but in case you missed it, German price fixing is at risk.
When I went to Germany on an editors trip organized by the German Book Office, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it's illegal to discount books in Germany. No matter where you buy a book it's always the same exact price. Like stamps.
Thanks to the chain stores and Amazon, discounts have become a way of life in America (and the UK), and it was refreshing to encounter a culture that valued smaller, independent booksellers by keeping the playing field a bit level.
(Someone out there may be able to answer this, but one potential wrench in the fixed price system is the discounts publishers give to booksellers. I remember an owner of an indie store in Munich telling us that she didn't receive the same discount as a the chains, thus severely impacting her profit margin . . . But, this was years ago, and my memory may be as shoddy as her English was . . . )
Anyway, thanks to the Swiss, this system is in jeopardy. The Swiss government recently decided to allow the discounting of some German books, touching off an "Everybody Panic!" response among German publishers. And for good reason—although from an economics perspective, any hindrance to a free market is "bad," this system really seemed to help smaller bookstores and publishers and make more books available to German readers, allowing community bookstores to be unique and stock books they're interested in, rather than placing so much power in the hands of a few buyers at a couple chains.
Even the Swiss seem to agree that eliminating fixed prices could be detrimental to book culture:
I called Rafael Corazza, director of the Competition Commission, to ask what he was thinking. "It's not normal for one market to have special regulations," he explained. "It was a cartel. The German and Swiss booksellers said it was for a good purpose—they made a cultural argument, but we are an economic commission. They said the system fosters a broader, deeper market for books, that discounting will hurt the small booksellers who support the small publishers, and then you will have fewer books and more focus on best sellers."
Are they right? I asked.
"I'm not quite sure they're completely wrong," he said.
That's totally not reassuring . . . Every time I leave the States I realize how second-rate we are as a nation, and I'll be personally disappointed if Germany isn't able to preserve this part of their culture.
Coincidentally, PW ran an article yesterday illustrating the fucked up side of our discount-crazy book culture:
Amazon sold 2.5 million copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows worldwide, making it the largest new product release in Amazon history. Because of the deep discounts on the title, however, Amazon did not quite breakeven on sales of Deathly.
That's absolutely ridiculous, and no independent store can compete with a company willing to lose money on every copy of Harry Potter that it sold. My economics professor would hang me, but I wish we had price fixing here .. .
Prose translators will likely disagree, but I believe translating poetry requires a significant level of talent, a commitment to the text, and near mania, all of which suggests that the undertaking is the greatest possible challenge. The task is to. . .
The biggest issues with books like The Subsidiary often have to do with their underpinnings—when we learn that Georges Perec wrote La Disparition without once using the letter E, we are impressed. Imagine such a task! It takes a high. . .
Following The Infatuations, Javier Marías's latest novel seems, like those that have preceded it, an experiment to test fiction's capacity to mesmerize with sombre-sexy atmospheres and ruminative elongated sentences stretched across windowless walls of paragraphs. Thus Bad Begins offers his. . .
Death by Water, Kenzaburo Oe's latest novel to be translated into English, practically begs you to read it as autobiography. Like The Changeling, as well as many other works not yet released in English, Death by Water is narrated in. . .
Jocelyne Saucier's Twenty-One Cardinals is about the type of unique, indestructible, and often tragic loyalty only found in families. For a brief but stunningly mesmerizing 169 pages, Twenty-One Cardinals invited me in to the haunting and intimate world of the. . .
We know so very little; so little that what we think to be knowledge is hardly worth reckoning with at all; instead we ought to settle for being pleasantly surprised if, on the edge of things, against all expectations, our. . .
Many of Virginie Despentes's books revolve around the same central idea: "To be born a woman [is] the worst fate in practically every society." But this message is nearly always packaged in easy-to-read books that fill you with the pleasure. . .
Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer's La Superba is appropriately titled after the Italian city of Genoa, where, after escaping the pressures of fame in his own country, the semi-autobiographical narrator finds himself cataloguing the experiences of its mesmerizing inhabitants with the intention. . .
It took reading 44 pages of Intervenir/Intervene before I began to get a sense of what Dolores Dorantes and Rodrigo Flores Sánchez were up to. Recurring throughout these 44 pages—throughout the entire book—are shovels, shovel smacks to the face, lobelias—aha!. . .
As presaged by its title, contradiction is the theme of Peter Stamm's novel, All Days Are Night. Gillian, a well-known television personality, remains unknowable to herself. And Hubert, a frustrated artist and Gillian's lover, creates art through the process of. . .

Easy and fun: Norwegian Dawn Cruise Review by FLcruzer0214
Overall Member Rating
Easy and fun
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Tampa
We have been on larger NCL ships, but, overall, thought the Dawn was a nice size and had plenty to offer. The cabin though, was probably one of the smallest we have ever been in. The ship was clean and in great shape.
We used the Capital parking service on Harbour Island for the first time since we read about it in another review. It was very convenient and we saved about $60.
Activities/Entertainment: There was something for everyone and we often found ourselves conflicted with wanting to do more than one thing at a time. Duo Luna was a big hit and always had a large audience. Impac was also popular and the show band was very good. The only thing we would have liked more of was traditional dance music - sometimes the bands got too creative More with the songs, changed the beats, and those who did venture to dance just gave up.
Service: We found the staff to be friendly, helpful and pleasant in most cases.
Dining: We ate at Aqua twice - the food was OK, pretty typical cruise fare. We also ate at Cagneys, Bamboo, La Cucina (twice) and Le Bistro. Le Bistro was a big disappointment. On the other NCL cruises this was the best meal of the week. This time we thought it was sub-par, even though I paid an additional upcharge for my entree - seafood in pastry puff. It was overcooked. Overall we really enjoyed the cruise. Thanks to whoever mentioned the special spa pass. We did that and were very glad because we did not have the best weather and the spa pool are gave us a place to go. Less

What Style of Countertops Are Best in the Kitchen?
Get beyond typically the brand titles and your current choices of countertops really merely come along to the handful involving materials. The particular choices can easily seem frustrating, but typically the truth will be that there is certainly never recently been a far better time for you to be throughout the industry for the new counter-top. Once on a time period, you have been lucky for you to have a few faded layered as any small cooking area next to the drain.
One regarding the many significant kitchen-design selections you will make is usually choosing the particular right counter top for your own personal lifestyle. Would you will need an easy-care area? Will be stain-resistance some sort of concern? Or perhaps is fashion what issues most?
The wealth regarding options are usually available, and also factors just like durability and also appearance may most probably influence your own personal choice. Several materials demand extra proper care, a number of are close to maintenance-free, and also others build a look that tends to make the table surface actually more stunning as this ages. Whenever making your current choice, retain in brain that several kitchens employ more when compared with one counter material-so in case it matches your style scheme, seldom be scared to mixture and fit.
In all actuality, kitchen counter tops established the sculpt for the particular kitchen, and so choose supplies and the look that will not simply reflect your current style, however also tend to be in collection with just how you employ the home. Granite is actually on typically the must-have listing for numerous homebuyers.

The hamstrings (hammies) are a group of muscles at the rear of the upper leg. They include the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus. The hamstrings flex the knee joint, adduct the leg (move closer to the body), and extend the thigh.

Hamstring injuries are the most frequent muscle injury in running sports, especially speed and power sports. Read a full analysis of hamstring injury causes and preventive strategies.

What Causes Hamstring Injury?

Relative uncertainty exists about the prevention, causes and best methods of rehabilitation of hamstring injuries. Firm conclusions are in a minority and theoretical approaches in the absence of strong experimental studies are the norm. Here is a sample of the possible causes of hamstring injuries discussed in sports medicine:

Less than ideal lower back and core muscle strength and mobility

Hamstring muscle inflexibility

Quadriceps inflexibility

Ankle inflexibility

Quadriceps versus hamstring strength imbalance

Less than ideal running mechanics

Age -- older equals more susceptible

Previous hamstring, knee or pubis injury

Inadequate warmup

Fatigue

Being older and having a previous hamstring injury seem to be consistent with injury but not much else. Even hamstring inflexibility or quadriceps/hamstring strength imbalance, factors consistently touted as causes of hamstring injury, do not seem to be consistent factors in injury.

 How hamstrings tear. In running at least, it seems hamstrings are most susceptible to injury in the 'eccentric' transition phase of movement when the muscle is lengthening during stride and being 'pulled up' for ground contact.

 Stretching hamstrings. There is no consistent evidence that a static stretching program prevents hamstring injury or even that 'tight' hamstrings predispose to injury. Static stretching may even make things worse in some circumstances. Dynamic stretching is a preferred warm up. Stretching may have a useful role in hamstring rehabilitation.

 Quadriceps imbalance. A hamstring less than 60 percent as strong as the quadricep (thigh front) supposedly predisposes to hamstring injury. Some studies show this muscle imbalance to be associated with hamstring injuries and others do not. Despite uncertainty, getting those hammies up over that 60 percent threshold seems to make sense and it may prevent anterior cruciate ligament injury (ACL) of the knee.

Exercises

Some of the best exercises for strengthening the hamstrings are with weights in the gym. Eccentric exercises that simulate the 'catch' of the swing phase of running may be particularly useful. Always warm up before weight training. Hamstring warm ups could include leg swings forward and rear, the standing bicycle action exercise, and light weight leg curls.

Standing leg curls with catch

Start with a light weight on the standing leg curl machine. Lift the leg with weight back in the concentric phase, pause, then as you start to lower the leg, let the weight free fall and catch it near the bottom of this eccentric phase.

Your leg does not actually have to lose contact with the weight, only allow a sudden 'drop and catch'. This simulates to some extent the eccentric swing phase during running.

Eccentric exercise is known to cause muscle soreness, so go easy to start with.

Nordic reverse curl, glute-ham curl

Kneel on the floor with feet extended flat to the rear and the trunk upright at 90 degrees, preferably with some soft support under the knees. Support the feet under a low bench or get a partner to hold the feet down.

Bend forward until your body is at an angle to the ground under eccentric hamstring control, then snap backward to the starting position with the help of the hands. Use the hands to stabilize this part if necessary so you don't fall on your face! Don't try too hard to straighten up under hamstring control because the eccentric strength on the down movement is the main target, not the concentric movement when you straighten up.

See a demonstration of the Nordic reverse curl (called floor glute-ham raises in this article). A glute-ham raise bench is also available but few gyms provide this.

Deadlifts - Romanian, straight-legged, stiff-legged

The deadlift is the exercise where you lift the barbell from the floor to a standing position. If you perform this with the legs somewhat straighter, rather than squatting right down with knees bent for the lift and replace, you will feel the hamstrings tense up. However, keeping the legs straight while bending the back in a curve is danger territory for back injury for inexperienced lifters, even if the weight is light. Here is what I do. This is usually called a Romanian deadlift or RDL.

Choose a suitable bar and plate or barbell weight that you can lift comfortably to the upright deadlift position at the thighs -- but not too light. Keeping the legs straight or only slightly bent, lower the bar until it reaches a position where you can feel the hamstrings at the back of the legs start to work.

Stop somewhere around the shins -- don't go to the floor -- then return to the upright position. Don't overdo this to the point of pain or discomfort in the lower back and try to keep that back straight rather than curved over if possible. Bend the knees slightly if necessary.

Be aware that the standard deadlift from the floor is also an excellent all-around strengthening exercise for the posterior chain of muscles of the lower back, butt, and hamstrings, and also the abdominals, all of which may have a role in maintaining hamstring viability.

Barbell good mornings

This is another excellent all-round exercise for the posterior chain including the hamstrings.

Take a barbell and place it behind the neck on the shoulders in similar position as for the back squat.

While keeping the legs stiff, bend forward at the hips with the barbell still resting on the shoulders and the back straight but not bent over at the upper spine. Keep the head steady.

You will feel the dynamic stretch in the hamstrings. Don't overdo the weight to begin with. See a demonstration of a Barbell Good Morning.

Note. You could do several of these hamstring exercises on the same day and perhaps you should after a progressive period of conditioning. At the start, you need to go easy to prevent excessive soreness, particularly with eccentric training.

Three sessions per week is probably optimal. Do only two sessions if soreness is a problem. Modify the number of sets if necessary. A gradual increase in volume is the key to success.

Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation from hamstring injury, particularly grades 2 and 3, the more severe injuries, requires the supervision of a sports doctor, physical therapist or trainer with expertise in sports injury rehabilitation. The exercises listed above are useful in strengthening the hamstrings for injury prevention purposes and may be used in rehabilitation, but it's best to progress according to a plan under supervision.
