3 Benefits of an In-Season Training program ? Family Medicine ...
How should I train during my season? This is a common question athletes are faced with during their competitive hockey season. At Healthways Training Center we design our in-season training with three specific goals.
Injury prevention during your season
If we can maintain an athletes strength and flexibility during the season the likelihood of an injury occurring is reduced. Groin pulls, hamstring pulls, shoulder injuries, etc are less likely because muscles remain strong, flexible, and ready for the demands needed in the game of hockey.
Maintain your strength gains
Most athletes can attest to what the first day back in the weight room feels like after a long season ? THEY FEEL WEAK. What people fail to realize is how little you have to train to maintain your strength during the season. Research has proven that one weekly training session will allow an athlete to maintain their strength. This means that one workout per week focusing on a few strength movements for the lower body and upper body will provide enough stimulus to MAINTAIN your strength gains during your season. For most young athletes two workouts per week during your season can IMPROVE your strength gains. These workouts should remain short and done at the beginning of the week. For example our Bismarck Bobcats work out on Monday and Wednesday every week, this gives them plenty of time to recover by Friday night and Saturday night.
Athlete Development
By training year round we increase the athlete?s foundation for all movements. Athlete performance training provides continual neuromuscular development needed for all sports. Many athletes will end the hockey season and begin the baseball season, track season, etc. By continuing to train year round during the adolescent years we are taking advantage of when the body is most receptive to training. This provides us with a broad athletic foundation needed to advance to the next level in whatever sport the athlete chooses. One must remember these workouts remain short in duration and performed at an intensity where the body can recover quickly.
In-season performance training programs prevent injury, maintain strength, and more importantly, continue to build a better athlete.

Confessions of an Aspen Bellman - Carry On | Travel + Leisure
10.17.12
A veteran porter sheds light on working at a ritzy ski-town resort.
?A lot of people assume that we?re good for carrying luggage, and that?s it. But we know as much or more about where to eat and what to do as the front desk or concierge.?
?Some guests think we?re their personal assistants. They want us to get them groceries, swap their pillows, even drive them to the liquor store and wait for half an hour.?
?We see the craziest outfits. Last year a middle-aged couple was dressed almost identically in fur boots and fur vests, with head-to-toe fake tans.?
?Older ladies love to flirt with the bellmen. Usually they?re joking, but hookups do happen. The ratio in Aspen is about five guys to every girl?easy pickings for the cougars.?

DENVER (AP) ? Denver police don't have any suspects as they investigate the slayings of five people whose bodies were found at a neighborhood bar after a fire broke out early Wednesday. Investigators believe they were killed before the fire and the blaze was set to cover up the slayings.
The fire at Fero's Bar & Grill was spotted just before 2 a.m., closing time for bars, by a police officer on patrol. Firefighters found four women and one man dead inside.
Police chief Robert White said there's nothing to indicate a murder-suicide, meaning whoever is responsible is still at large. He said he was hopeful the killings were an "isolated act" but couldn't say for sure yet.
"It's very alarming and that's why it's so important that we investigate it to the fullest," White said, as investigators continued their work inside the bar about 12 hours after the fire was reported.
The bar was extensively damaged, but there wasn't much damage visible from the outside, he said.
Red stains that appeared to be blood were visible on the sidewalk in front of the bar. Some of the stains were in trails on the sidewalk and others appeared to have been where blood had pooled.
The officer who reported the fire said he heard screams, but investigators said they likely came from bystanders outside.
"Based on the severity of the injuries, we don't think they came from inside," fire department spokesman Lt. Phil Champagne said.
The bar is located in a strip mall about five miles south of downtown Denver just beyond the upscale Cherry Creek North shopping district. The bar attracted both regulars and people staying in nearby hotels, but neighbors said it didn't seem busy most days. It's wedged in among a check-cashing store, a tennis shop, a nail salon and a car repair shop in the strip mall on one of the city's busiest streets, Colorado Boulevard.
Frequent patron Chris Brady said the customers ranged from "semi-homeless-looking people" to patrons in suits and ties.
He was at the bar for a regular poker game held Tuesdays and won $25 cash before leaving about 11 p.m.
"There was nobody random or crazy in there," Brady said.
Brady said bar co-owner Young Fero, known for cooking up beef bowls at a moment's notice, usually would close the bar herself, and she bid him goodnight Tuesday as he paid his tab.
"She said, "Thank you, sweetie, have a good night,'" Brady said. "I said, 'You too.'"
No one answered the door at Fero's home in Aurora. A sign on the door read, "Day sleeper, please don't ring the doorbell! Thank you." It was signed "The sleeper."
Neighbor Mike Spinale described Fero as "really nice."
"She didn't speak much, but I know she owned a bar and she worked all the time," Spinale said. "She told me she did everything herself."
Danny Fero, who said he was Young Fero's ex-husband, said he went to the scene Wednesday and talked with police, but he wasn't asked to identify any of the bodies. He said he did not know who might have been at the bar Wednesday morning.
"She always worked late and closed the bar," he said.
He doesn't know if she was one of the victims.
Danny Fero said he talked with his ex-wife about a month ago regarding a visit with their daughter, but his ex-wife made no mention of any threats. He said he was shocked by the events at the bar he once co-owned with her.
"I wanted to make myself available to police as soon as possible," Danny Fero said, adding police asked him not to discuss other details of the case.
Jerry Richardson, who maintained an ATM at the bar, described Young Fero as "feisty."
"When she wanted that machine fixed, she would tell you about it," Richardson said.
Business seemed to go on as usual in the surrounding area as police investigated the slayings. People walked their dogs and customers visited a nearby vitamin shop. Aziz Dashti, a University of Denver student from Kuwait, was worried.
"I've never felt this insecure about being in my place," said Dashti, who was awakened by a friend in Kuwait who heard the news and messaged him.
The five dead are believed to be the only ones in the bar when the fire started ? other than the suspect or suspects ? so police are asking anyone else who was at the place earlier to come forward, as investigators try to piece together what happened.
The victims haven't been identified. Autopsies were expected to be completed later in the day.
Frank Peluso, who works in an office building a half block away, said he used to eat lunch at the bar but hasn't been there in three years. It seemed to be declining and the owners have tried various things to attract more business, including offering karaoke, he said.
"It's one of those places that you wonder how it stays in business," Peluso said.
Resident Matthew Neam said you can't see into the bar because the front windows are frosted. He said he and his friend used to joke about what might be inside.
"I've never gone in there. It always looked kind of sketchy to me," Neam said.

UN envoy to Syria visits region to resurrect cease-fire efforts
? A daily summary of global reports on security issues.
United Nations special envoy to Syria Lakhdar Brahimi arrived in Beirut today as part of a tour the region, advocating a fresh ceasefire in Syria pegged to the Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha later this month. However, like plans put forward by his predecessor, Kofi Annan, there is doubt whether the regional, national, and rebel support necessary for success is there.
Mr. Brahimi asked Iranian officials to help broker a truce earlier this week, and yesterday the Syrian government offered ?the slenderest of hopes? when a spokesman said it was studying the proposed plan, reports the Telegraph.
?In order to succeed in any initiative, it takes two sides,? said Jihad Maqdisi, a Syrian foreign ministry spokesman.
Quiz: How much do you know about terrorism?
A Western diplomat told Reuters that a ceasefire ?could open the door to something more sustained" in Syria. "But it's not clear how realistic this idea is. Annan tried and failed to do the same thing," the diplomat said.
Though there are plenty who say the ceasefire is improbable, if not impossible ? all international efforts to date to end the 19-month conflict in Syria have failed, with both rebels and the Syrian government ignoring previous ceasefires ? some say a pause in the violence that has killed between 20,000 and 30,000 people according to the UN and rebel groups is desperately needed. Kaveh Afrasiabi, author of ?After Khomeini: New Directions in Iran's Foreign Policy,? writes in an commentary for the Asia Times:
A temporary respite is desperately needed for the civilian population throughout the country, many of whom have become refugees or are bunkered inside their homes, as well as by the plethora of stakeholders in the Syrian theater, whose diverse interests may be converging toward a ceasefire.
As the Syrian conflict increasingly tears the country apart and risks the stability of neighboring countries, the timing of Brahimi's new push for a ceasefire is right...
The UN Department for Peacekeeping Operations told Brahimi it could put together a monitoring group of up to 3,000 people who could potentially separate the rebels and the regime in order to ensure fighting doesn?t pick up again after the ceasefire, reports Reuters. However, sending any monitors would require a UN Security Council mandate, and no Western countries have pledged troops yet. A previous observer mission to the country was disbanded because violence prevented them from being able to get out and monitor the situation.
?The Syrian side is interested in exploring this option,? Syria?s Mr. Maqdisi said in reference to the ceasefire proposal, also noting the government was waiting to hear the results of Brahimi?s tour, The Telegraph reports. He will also visit opposition backers Saudi Arabia and Turkey and Syrian regime supporter Iran, as well as Iraq and, as of today, Lebanon.
It is unclear whether Brahimi will travel to Damascus after Beirut, reports the Associated Press.
Syria wants to know if influential countries like Saudi Arabia and Turkey are on board, and if they will pressure rebel groups ?that they host and finance and arm? to abide by such a ceasefire, said Maqdisi.
President Bashar al-Assad?s regime has accepted two international ceasefire proposals in the past, only to intensify the conflict, according to the Telegraph.
The divisions among rebel groups are another obstacle to the regime putting faith in a ceasefire: It has no guarantee that because one rebel group agrees to the proposal, the others will as well. There are myriad rebel groups, many of which work autonomously and without information sharing, according to a separate AP story, and there is no unified leadership among the rebels.
Today, state-run newspaper Al-Thawra said the biggest challenge to a potential ceasefire is the rebels' lack of unity.
"There is the state, represented by the government and the army on one front, but who is on the other front?" reads an editorial in the newspaper, according to AP.
Others have echoed concerns about the disjointed rebel front, but still say intervention is necessary. Washington Post columnist Anne Applebaum writes that by focusing on concrete problems, these fragmented groups have an opportunity to unite, and outside nations like the United States have an opportunity to help:
There are no real military options in Syria and I understand the arguments against arming the rebels. To date, the Syrian opposition has failed to coalesce around a single idea, structure or leadership. Nobody wants to pump more weapons into a region already awash with guns, especially if it is not clear who might end up using them or for what purpose. Yet, keeping the distance does not remove the US from the conflict, nor does it absolve America from responsibility for the outcome?.
If the West is absent, if we can?t provide moral and material support for a liberal, secular alternative ? a constitution that guarantees minority rights, an inclusive political order and an open economic system ? then there might not be one at all.
America is not entirely powerless, though. Some areas of Syria, abandoned by the Al Assad regime, are now controlled by local coordination committees. The US should be there to help them ? and not just with emergency aid?. [I]t is also possible to start thinking, now, about the economics of post-war Syria, a country whose budget is being drained and whose infrastructure is in ruins. By focusing on concrete problems, the opposition, the rebels and the coordination committees may find that they can unify around the solutions.
Two rebel groups announced yesterday that they have agreed to set up a joint leadership in order to meet the international calls for unity, according to a separate Reuters report.
"The agreement has been reached, they only need to sign it now," one rebel source said. Foreign supporters "are telling us: 'Sort yourselves out and unite, we need a clear and credible side to provide it with quality weapons'."
?
The new leadership will include FSA leaders Riad al-Asaad and Mustafa Sheikh ? criticised by many rebels because they are based in Turkey ? and recently defected General Mohammad Haj Ali, as well as heads of rebel provincial military councils inside Syria like Qassem Saadeddine, based in Homs province.
Even if a unified rebel front can be created, outside powers also present hurdles. The UN Security Council has been deadlocked over how to move forward in the war-torn country for months. Russia and China have vetoed three UN resolutions thus far.
"There will never be unity inside Syria unless the countries supporting the revolt agree because each group is supported and backed by (one) country," a rebel source told Reuters.
"Now the countries are becoming nervous and the Syrian issue has become bigger than they expected and almost out of control."

Police spotters to catch texting drivers in test
Getty Images
The U.S. Department of Transportation says it's easier for police to spot a motorist chatting on a cellphone than it is to catch someone texting while driving.
By James Eng, NBC News
The federal government is giving $550,000 to Connecticut and Massachusetts for pilot projects to crack down on people who text while driving.
Each state is getting $275,000 grants to develop ?high-visibility anti-texting enforcement programs,? which will include stationing police spotters on highway overpasses looking for motorists who can?t keep their fingers off the keypad.
??We have come a long way in our fight against distracted driving, but there is still much work to be done,? said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said Tuesday in announcing the grants. ?Texting behind the wheel is especially dangerous, which is why we?re working with states like Connecticut and Massachusetts to address this important safety issue.?
The money will be used to develop and train police officers on better methods for spotting texting drivers, and to develop media campaigns that alert the public to the dangers of texting and driving.
The Department of Transportation says distracted driving has become even more dangerous with the proliferation of cellphones. In 2010, more than 3,000 people were killed in distracted driving crashes that included texting, talking on a cellphone, eating and drinking, grooming, and other activities.
The agency cites research that found drivers who use handheld devices are four times more likely to get into crashes serious enough to injure themselves. ?Text messaging creates a crash risk 23 times worse than driving while not distracted, according to research.
Thirty-nine states have laws on the books that specifically ban texting, and 10 states have laws that prohibit the use of handheld cell phones while driving, according to federal transportation officials.?
Watch the most-viewed videos on NBCNews.com
Despite such laws, prior demonstration programs conducted in Hartford, Conn., and Syracuse, N.Y., found that it's more difficult to detect texting drivers than drivers talking on a handheld device, the Transportation Department said. ?The vast majority of tickets issued under those programs were for handheld phone use ? only about 5 percent were for texting violations.

?While it is relatively easier for law enforcement to determine illegal handheld cellphone use by observing the position of the phone at the driver?s ear, the dangerous practice of texting while driving is often not as obvious,? said David Strickland, head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in a press release. ?These two new demonstration programs will help identify real-world protocols and practices?to better detect if a person is texting while driving.?

The grants will help Connecticut and Massachusetts develop anti-texting enforcement protocols and techniques, such as using stationary patrols, spotters on overpasses or elevated roadways and roving patrols. The results will be documented for the benefit of other states.
?I look forward to seeing the results of the new enforcement programs announced today as we work to put an end to this deadly behavior,? LaHood wrote Tuesday on? the Transportation Department?s fastlane.dot.gov blog.?
