Abstract Facial skin cancer secondary to surgical treatment may be distressing due to the malignancy itself and from the consequences of its treatment. A visible postsurgical scar is an obvious reminder of the condition. This investigation sought to broaden our understanding of facial scarring and develop a novel tool for its objective evaluation. To this end, skin cancer as the most common etiology of facial scarring was reviewed. The scar scale literature was evaluated in the context of assessing scars through a biopsychosocial lens.

  • Beach Volleyball
    Beach Volleyball - John Kessel, USA Volleyball Director of Education, Grassroots, Disabled & Beach Volleyball With Beach Volleyball is a very popular and fast growing sport all over the world. At the same time it is a sport recognized by major international sport associations such as the International Olympic Committee and the International Volleyball Federation. Beach Volleyball is a fun game that can help you accomplish your goals of becoming a world-class athlete. The doubles game can also be played on the grass, using the same portable net systems and rules. In 1996 Beach Volleyball was, for the first time, part of the Olympic Games. 24 Men’s Teams from 19 different nations and 18 Women’s Teams from 13 nations participated in the event. The American Men finished first and second in Atlanta. 1997 the U.S. hosted the 8th Beach Volleyball World Championships at the UCLA Tennis Center. In the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, with 48 teams from 23 nations, the USA team men took home the gold again, while the other men and women’s teams all tied with three 5th place finishes. Beach Volleyball is big! Especially in the United States where the AVP drives a professional volleyball circus bigger than in any other country. USA Volleyball and the California Beach Volleyball Association (CBVA) have hosted thousands of major beach volleyball tournaments. For nearly a decade, the U.S. Junior Olympic Beach Volleyball Championships have been held for kids in the 18,17,16,15,14,13, and 12 & under age brackets. The International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) will stage the first ever Junior World Championships in the summer of 2001.

  • 2019 WT Anti-Doping Activities Report Final
    Report on 2019 WT Anti-Doping Main Activities Provision of an adequate budget for Anti-Doping Programs: The provision of an adequate budget was one the key elements that allowed WT to make in place all the 2019's implementations. WT leadership adhered to the proposal of the Anti-Doping Director and gave him the resources to implement all policies. WT Anti-Doping Program Commitments and Goals: Sport cannot exist without fairness, and WADA sets the most stringent standards when it comes to detecting the most insidious form of cheating – doping. WT is grateful for the support we have received from WADA to bring our standards to the highest level. In 2016 we participated in the WADA “Partnership to Quality” program. The consulting WADA provided then allowed us to fill in the gaps in our systems. In March 2018, we were gratified to be one of the first International Federations to be declared compliant under WADA’s compliance-review program. WT recognizes the importance of maintaining clean sport: in 2017, we increased our anti-doping budget ten-fold. Since beginning of 2017 WT entered a partnership with GAISF Doping Free Sport Unit, which offers us expertise and technologies as we create intelligent and effective anti-doping program. From 2018 we have been cooperating with the International Testing Agency (ITA) in a new and productive collaboration. Thanks to our investments, the number of players we are testing per year has tripled since 2017 for In and Out Of Competition Tests. Our testing criteria change in every competition, in order to be unpredictable.
