Today From Jen Hubley, your About Today Editor The first time I ever packed for summer camp, I think I packed about 30 rolls of unicorn stickers, my jelly sandals, and some Mad Libs.

High doses of caffeine can increase muscle power and endurance, researchers from Coventry University said in a news release.

 

The scientists said the work could have an impact on how caffeine is used in sports.

 

"A small increase in performance via caffeine could mean the difference between a gold medal in the Olympics and an also-ran", said lead researcher Dr. Rob James.

 

Caffeine is not currently listed by the World Anti-Doping Agency as a banned substance, according to a news release on the new study. Before 2004, there was a level of caffeine athletes could not exceed.

 

The study tested muscle use in mice at both maximal and sub-maximal levels. Maximal is efforts such as sprinting or weight lifting; sub-maximal covers everyday activity and sports at lower intensities.

 

A high does of caffeine boosted performance by about 6 percent during both types of activities. Researchers said that effect could be similar in people.

The 2-year-old son of former NFL QB Randall Cunningham died on Tuesday after a woman found the child floating in a backyard hot tub.

Las Vegas police Lt. Dennis Flynn told the Las Vegas Review-Journal the death appeared to be an accident.

Cunningham was not home at the time of Christian Cunningham's death, the paper said, but was en route back to Las Vegas.

The former NFL QB is a pastor in Las Vegas. He played in the NFL for 16 season from 1985-2001.

Men's Fashion / Grooming Men's Fashion / Grooming Hair Skin & Body Style Tips Trends & Fashion From Daniel Billett, your Guide to Men's Fashion / Grooming Finding inspiration for a new hairstyle is sometimes as simple a photo that you happened upon. Celebrities, of course, are one source for inspiration but I also like to see what hairstyles are popular at fashion shows and with hairstylists. Take a look at these all new hairstyle photo galleries, there are some of great hairstyles from fashion shows. Men's Spiked Hairstyles For decades, a standard hairstyle for men has been short and spiked. It serves as a great stand by and remains stylish, depending on how it is worn. There are indeed many ways this short men's hairstyle can be worn. Here is a photo gallery of men's spiked hairstyles. Men's Shaggy Hairstyles Men's shaggy hairstyles are a trendy look but can also be a classic look. Think '60s Brit rock or '80s Ivy League. But there are many types of shaggy hairstyles out there. Check out these shaggy hairstyle photos for inspiration. Men's Long on Top Hairstyles Men's hairstyles that are long on the top are some of the most versatile and fun. They can be serious when gelled down, fun when spiked up, and fashion forward when brushed forward, among other things. Here is a photo gallery of men's long on the top hairstyles. High Fashion Hairdos That Flop Over the years I have been to many fashion shows. It's always exciting to see a designer's collection and the shows themselves are a great way for designers to communicate the inspiration, feel and mood for their designs. A fashion show is a big production incorporating music, lighting, etc. Hairstyles also play a big role even in men's shows, but sometimes they can more of a distraction.

Interview with World Record Holder Alicia Weber Posted: 29 Jun 2010 10:00 AM PDT A long time ago, I set a club record for the 500m ERG Concept II indoor rowing.  It was 1:27 of pure hell.  Basically I broke the race plan down to about 47 strokes.  I started with 7 very hard pulls (to use up my ATP/CP) followed by counting 30 strokes hard but very relaxed with a good rhythm and good breathing patterns, then finally the last 10 pulls I stopped counting and pulled for dear life! The secret is having a plan.  But what are the thoughts going through your head during the 1 minute of hell? Do you count steps or reps?  Even UK marathoner Paula Radcliffe counts steps for a mile. I asked Alica Weber, holder of numerous rep-based WR, this question. SpeedEndurance:  Congrats on your 35 push up WR on med balls.  What is on your mind when performing repetitions for a WR?  Are you actually counting the reps?  Is someone yelling out every 10 reps for you?  Can you describe some of your mental strategies on your other world records (i.e. pull-ups, chin-ups)?  Tell us more on your other med ball pushups WRs! Alicia Weber:  I gauged my pace and counted my reps in my mind for my 3 med ball pushups. In other exercises and longer exercises, I may have someone call out reps or I count and call out my reps every so often.  I block everything out and enter my own world when I am record-setting.  From my practice sessions, I knew I could do 35 reps correctly in 1-minute.  For this record, I am required to start the video at 0 with my arms in extension and end at 1-minute with my arms in extension.  My full body must be in the view of the camera at all times with no distractions.  Med ball pushups and regular pushups must be completed on a hard surface.  My legs must stay straight with a flat back (no hips sticking up and involved) with only abs working.  I am required to have a full-body side view and full-body front view.  The arms must come to 90 degrees or break parallel for pushups.  The record-setter must wear clothing that shows the arms and legs (i.e. tank top or short-sleeve shirts and shorts or other form-fitting clothes). NO long sleeve shirts and/or baggy clothes.  Proper clothing is mandatory to accurately assess proper form for the exercises.  This is a standard in any physical fitness test setting.  If any of the above rules are not followed correctly, the record attempt will be thrown out. Due to the intense concentration and balance involved in 3 med ball pushups, I learned to find a rhythm and keep it. If I get off my rhythm or go too fast, I will lose balance. The balance aspect puts this exercise in a class by itself. I will have a different sport psychology with this balance exercise than in pushups, pull-ups, chin-ups, dips, sit-ups, etc.  In general, I practice the exercises so much that I begin to formulate a rhythm.  Unlike the med ball pushups, I can learn to go really fast, while keeping proper form with all the other exercises. The muscle memory kicks in and I know what to expect in each exercise. Official WR Double Screen of the 35 reps/min Med Ball Pushups: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=105585062 *The 3 med ball elevated leg pushups are 2 times more difficult than the 3 med ball pushups and the 2 med ball tricep pushups with the elevated leg (with the chest touching the med ball for a rep to count) are 10 times more difficult than the 3 med ball pushups. On March 9, 2010, I completed 25 reps a minute of the 3 med ball elevated leg pushups.  Also on March 9th, I completed 6 reps a minute of the 2 med ball elevated leg tricep pushups.  Here are double screen highlights from those record exercises: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=104605863 I hope I answered the questions well and gave readers some things to think about!

About Today: Plan Your Fourth of July Party

If you can't see this email, click here

Today From Jen Hubley, your About Today Editor It happened again. The Fourth of July just plain snuck up on me. Now it's the 29th of June and I need to figure out where to watch the fireworks and with whom. Also, what we'll be eating and so on. Plan Your Fourth of July Party The obvious solution is to plan my own Fourth of July party. This is a good time to tell you about my theory that people wait til the last minute to plan holiday parties, because we're all actually engaged in a giant game of party chicken. The person who can't stand it any longer is the one who finally throws the bash. Quick and Easy Patriotic Party Decorations Candy Recipes for the Fourth of July Menu for a Classic Fourth of July Barbecue I defy you to read this menu and not get hungry. It reads like a list of awesome food. I forgot there was a theme for a minute, because I was too busy figuring out why I'm not eating ribs and corn on the cob right now. 10 Safety Tips for Barbecue and Grilling 10 Summer Beer Recommendations Red, White, and Blue Recipes If I were to throw a Fourth of July party, I would definitely insist that the food be red, white, and blue only. People would be totally free to have either lobster with red wine risotto or cupcakes with flags on them. How to Cook for a Crowd How to BBQ for Vegetarians Healthy Fourth of July Food for Kids When I think about what we ate at holiday parties when I was growing up, I'm amazed that any of us are still alive. I distinctly remember eating spoonfuls of butter as if it were ice cream. You might want to start your kids on a healthier path a bit earlier.
