I do wish to make you aware of my commit- ment to achieving such an objective. Perhaps the best Editorials and Commentary way that I can do so is by quoting from a recent speech of mine, published in the February 1979 issue of "The New Dentist": "It is important to note that the educational system •Wwtcwtf does not consist only of faculty and administrators, but also includes students. Therefore, students should in- sist upon a firm voice in academic decision making, so that they might contribute to the potential direction of their future careers. for instance, students should play an important role in evaluation of faculty and in the formulation of curricula. Such issues arc critical and far supersede the usual student concerns about social events, dress codes and other related matters."

    Correlates With History of Injury in Youth and Adolescent Pitchers Peter N. Chalmers, M.D., Terrance Sgroi, P.T., D.P.T., M.T.C., Andrew J. Riff, M.D., Matthew Lesniak, D.P.T., Eli T. Sayegh, B.S., Nikhil N. Verma, M.D., Brian J. Cole, M.D., M.B.A., and Anthony A. Romeo, M.D. Purpose: To determine the factors within pitcher demographic characteristics, pitching history, and pitch kinematics, including velocity, that correlate with a history of pitching-related injury. Methods: Demographic and kinematic data were collected on healthy youth and adolescent pitchers aged 9 to 22 years in preseason training during a single preseason using dual orthogonal high-speed video analysis. Pitchers who threw sidearm and those who had transitioned to another position were excluded. Players were asked whether they had ever had a pitching-related shoulder or elbow injury. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed on those variables that correlated with a history of injury. Results: Four hundred twenty pitchers were included, of whom 31% had a history of a pitching-related injury. Participant height (P ¼ .009, R2 ¼ 0.023), pitching for more than 1 team (P ¼ .019, R2 ¼ 0.018), and pitch ve- locity (P ¼ .006, R2 ¼ 0.194) served as independent correlates of injury status. A model constructed with these 3 variables could correctly predict 77% of injury histories. Within our cohort, the presence of a 10-inch increase in height was associated with an increase in a history of injury by 20% and a 10-mph increase in velocity was associated with an in- crease in the likelihood of a history of injury by 12%.

  • A Pitchers Notebook
    Coach Harold Heap February 14, 1919 - August 3, 2001 In the mid and late 1950's, there was volunteer baseball coach in Springfield, Massachusetts who blended the skills of the game with the skills of life. In this regard, his coaching included camaraderie, fair play, loyalty, and respect for others - all of which shared equal space along the learning curve of the game itself. His quiet mannerism understood the limitations of youth by stressing we as team, at the same time stressing the efforts of the individual player, in a positive way - regardless of the outcome. Like so many youngsters of that time period, I am a better person because of his influence. This book is dedicated to you - Skipper. Before we begin ..... The amateur game is primarily made up of youngsters between the ages of twelve (12) and twenty (20). That being said, the training and playing aspects of the game can leave some youngsters vulnerable to the following: 1. Disruption to the growth cycle of muscles, tendons and bones due to abnormal stress and exertion on the arms and shoulders. 2. The total dependency on adults with little or no experience. 3. Pitchers who compete at a level not suited to their ability. 4. Players who are pushed into the pitcher position. 5. Public and private ball fields that are poorly maintained, subject to vandalism, gathering spots for troublemakers, and multiple function parks that cram events in simultaneously. Avoiding these pitfalls can be as simple as acquiring the talents of an experienced P itching C o a ch.

  • The Larva Races to Pupate Before the Rot Dries up Or Is Consumed by Other Larvae
    Chapter 11. Metamorphosis at the Brink of Disaster “The larva races to pupate before the rot dries up or is consumed by other larvae. Pupation and consequent modifications in the imago [adult] remove the fly from the larval competitive arena.” - My ecology notes (1964) “… important achievements require a clear focus, all-out effort, and a bottomless trunk full of strategies.” - Carol S. Dweck (7) A Tale of Two Epiphanies When I was a kid, Dad told me I must work hard if I am to succeed as a pitcher. A lot of mindless throwing to the box would be insufficient. It would take mental work, too. Now it was time to think. Picture this: a pleasant mid-September afternoon in Tucson in 1964. A gentle hundred-degree breeze was wafting the heavy, petrolic scent of the greasewood across arid foothills. In the pallid desert sky a salivating buzzard‟s keen sense of history had set it to circling overhead. I stood on my mound, plopping the ball into my glove and staring at the target on the back of the box. Considering Billy Goodman‟s suggestion to try something new, I was hoping for a flash of inspiration or an inkling right then. At that moment my short-term and long-term memories kicked in, and dug up an epiphany. That morning I had read that, in insect metamorphosis, the pupa takes a brief break from competition to determine what kind of creature it‟s going to be and undertake construction. Once complete, the emerging winged adult will no longer have to compete with youngsters crawling around back at the old home – the bacterial slime flux.
