There's a saying among pilots, at least so I've been told by some of my instructors, when you are really in a pickle and can't think of a way to make your situation better, you are "out of altitude, airspeed, and ideas." In other words, you are going to crash soon and there is nothing you can do about it..One of the important things that ukemi (the practice of taking falls as someone else practice

Flamengo, who have led a campaign by Brazilian clubs to end matches at high altitude, cruised to a 3-0 win over Peru's Cienciano at 3,300 metres above sea level in the Copa Libertadores on Wednesday.

A raiva que alguns clubes despertam nos rivais é curiosa e chega ultrapassar a razão como é o caso do Corinthians em São Paulo e Flamengo no Rio de Janeiro. A raiva chega a ultrapassar as fronteiras do estado e torcedores de São Paulo odeiam o Flamengo, cariocas odeiam o Corinthians, mineiros e gaúchos odeiam os dois. Mas no Norte e Nordeste esses times ganham força, como se vê na Copa do Brasil.

Quando o Santos foi derrotado pelo Bolívar na altitude de La Paz, em 2003, fui até uma sinuca no bairro de Pinheiros, em São Paulo, onde o gerente era... boliviano. Figura sempre simpática, não tirou sarro da vitória por 4 a 3, e vaticinou: "Aqui, a gente perde". Não perderam somente, tomaram uma "ensacada" de 6 a 0.Lembrei do boliviano quando o Peixe perdeu para o San Jose, nos mais de 3.700 metros de altitude em Oruro. Prejudicado por um pênalti não marcado no fim da partida, nem assim me incomodei com o placar e pensei: "Aqui, a gente goleia". Foi um 7 a 0, maior goleada do torneio, mas contra uma equipe que é pra lá de fraca tecnicamente. Mesmo assim, foram estes bolivianos que empataram com o quarto da Libertadores de 2007, o Cúcuta, fora de casa. O que mostra um pouco do

Decompression sickness (DCS) describes a condition characterized by a variety of symptoms resulting from exposure to low barometric pressures that cause inert gases (mainly nitrogen), normally dissolved in body fluids and tissues, to come out of physical solution and form bubbles. DCS can occur during exposure to altitude (altitude DCS) or during ascent from depth (mining or diving). The first

Ah, vacation. It does a body good.We flew into Las Vegas and drove to Southern Arizona / California. 92° and sunny. Everyday. Do you South-west friends know how good you have it?The 4 hour plane ride I feared? Cake. Not one whine, scream or shriek.My wild oats have officially become shredded wheat. Instead of dare-devil excursions, we hiked, rafted the Colorado and slammed Margaritas over sunsets.A quiet riot. I shot 2 frazillion photos, so my camera and I are tired. But I can't wait to get ketchup with you. Anybody pregnant? Getting hitched? Out-wit the in-laws?The talented Amy graciously gave me some love. I'm paying it forward to Melissa & Tommie because they always rawk AND guessed my macro shots correctly.Now go. Plan a vacation.  Copyright ©2007-2008 What Works For Us

Pesquisa diz que altitude altera mesmo o rendimento. Números comprovam vantagem de quem manda jogos nas alturas. Agora está cientificamente comprovado: jogar na altitude aumenta as chances de o mandante vencer a partida contra seu adversário acostumado ao futebol disputado ao nível do mar. Segundo uma pesquisa feita por cientistas da Universidade de Oxford, as chances de os donos da casa vencerem nesta situação sobe de 53% para 82%.A pesquisa contém análises de 1.460 jogos registrados pela Fifa. A América do Sul foi um dos principais continentes em foco, já que possui discrepâncias como o Rio, a nivel do mar, e La Paz, com mais de 3.500 metros de altitude.Chegou-se à conclusão de que os times acostumados com altitude que jogam em casa fazem mais gols e sofrem menos em relação aos donos da casa acostumados ao nível do mar. A cada 1.000 metros o time da cada ganha quase meio gol de vantagem.FIFA E O LIMITE NA ALTITUDEA Fifa aprovou a proibição de partidas internacionais

I am learning a lot from observing people. I have always been fascinating by bilingualism and multilingualism ... In history, we have so many polyglots, hyperpolyglots ... people who have mastered so many languages like Uku Masing (1909–1985)who was fluent in 65 languages, Harold Williams (1876–1928)in 58, Ziad Fazah (1954– )who can reads and understands 58 languages. How did the hyperpolyglots from the last century were able to speak so many languages, whereas they didn't have all the methods and the technology that we have now. Where I come from, I remember having a conversation with a Chinese girl. I was so fascinated by the good quality of her French, she had been in my country for only 3 months and she was able to handle a conversation with me. At a conscious level, I just wante

I really think there must be some confusion. Men’s Health has decided that Denver and Colorado Springs, Colorado’s two largest cities, are respectively the number one and number three drunkest cities in the country. Ouch!! Right up front I want you to understand that I am a Colorado patriot of sorts, except for the Broncos. I’m a little miffed at the Rockies too. Anyway, I’m thinking that this whole survey is somehow skewed by altitude with Denver being over 5000′ and Colorado Springs over 6000′. How else could such a healthy, outdoorsy kind of place end up so stinking drunk. Of course that 60 mile stretch of highway between the two cities is an awfully accident prone stretch of Interstate 25. Probably from people trying to make it back from a ball game in number one to the relative safety of number 3. They should get an apartment in Aurora and then they wouldn’t have to drive very far and be in a much safer number eighteen. All kidding aside,

From Business WeekShares fall after a bidding war between Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines, aiming at securing Eastern's Shanghai market, fails to materializeWhen world travelers think of Singapore Airlines, the award-winning carrier conjures images of service, comfort—even an enjoyable long-haul flight. The same can't be said for China Eastern Airlines . More likely, if world travelers think of the Chinese carrier at all, many think of bad food and surly service.Over the past few days, it has been China Eastern shareholders who have gotten the bumpy ride. The Shanghai carrier early this month agreed to sell a 24% stake, worth about $1 billion, to Singapore Airlines and Temasek Capital, the Singapore government's investment arm. But on Sept. 24 rumors spread quickly that Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific Airlines and its mainland partner, Air China, were looking to make a bid of their own and block Singapore. That caused China Eastern shares to spike. In Hong Kong trading on Sep

So I really struggle to come up with a decent post for today, felt like doing something on cycling again, now that Jorg Jaksche has admitted to doping and suggested it is pervasive in the peloton. For some classic quotes, have a look at this article. The most telling this is the reaction of the other cyclists - Jaksche has been crucified by his former collegues and competitors, and that alone is an indication of the culture in the sport - it's as if they take the Hippocratic Oath equivalent of never-tell. Just ask Floyd LandisBut, with the Tour de France coming up over the next three weeks, I figured there would be plenty of time to talk cycling, so keep an eye out for some 'behind the scenes physiology of the Tour de France in the upcoming three weeks.But for today, I thought I would go back to something that came up about 2 weeks ago, during a post on EPO use. Lei asked about altitude training, so I figured I'd do a short post on the benefits, if any, of training at altitude.

Deu no Vermelho.A Associação Cubana de Futebol aderiu à Bolívia em sua oposição à recente decisão da Fifa de não permitir a realização de partidas internacionais oficiais em estádios situados a mais de 2.500 metros de altura sobre o nível do mar. O apoio foi expresso em comunicado emitido na quinta-feira.Dizendo respaldar "firmemente" os argumentos da Bolívia em oposição à "injusta, discriminatória e arbitrária" decisão da Fifa, a Associação Cubana afirma: "Tal proibição desumaniza o esporte, despoja de direitos e afronta as possibilidades dos países de praticar futebol e competir em sua terra natal". O comunicado é dirigido ao presidente da Federação Boliviana, Carlos Alberto Chávez.O secretário-geral da Fifa, o suíço Urs Linsi, deixou o cargo na terça-feira, 12, depois de cinco anos esquentando o lugar. As más línguas da imprensa ironizaram o fato de ter sido de Linsi o fax que reconhecia o título da Copa Rio de 1951 como mundial do Palmeiras.Agora

La Paz, June 13 (DPA) Bolivian President Evo Morales played football at an altitude of 6,000 metres to protest FIFA rules banning matches above 2,500 metres. The new rules announced by football’s international governing body in May caused outrage across the soccer-crazy mountainous South American nations and in Bolivia the ban would stop the game in a number of cities. FIFA President Joseph Blatter cited medical reasons for the rule. Morales scored the only goal of the game on Sajama, the highest mountain of the South American country, the state news agency ABI reported Wednesday. The other players were experienced alpinists. Presidential spokesman Alex Contreras said the game proved that football could be played at 6,000 metres. The change eliminates play in the Bolivian cities of Cochabamba (2,570-metres above sea level), Sucre (2,860 metres), La Paz (3,665 metres), Oruro (3,966 metres) and Potosi (4,040 metres). Other affected cities include Cusco, Peru (3,416 metres); Ecuado

By Jorge SeguraFIFA has said "no mas" to International matches played in stadiums that are 8,200 feet above sea level. The medical team for the world soccer's governing body concluded their review and an International ban was decided.This ban affects South American national teams like Bolivia who play in a stadium that is 11,810 feet above sea level in the city of La Paz. Peru also has stadiums that are 9,840 feet about sea level. In the past other teams have complained about playing in Bolivia and felt they had an unfair advantage. I myself was affected by the high altitude of Bolivia's national stadium. I remember back in New York when I Watched Colombia play Bolivia on Big Screen T.V. I often felt dizzy and light headed with a sudden shortness of breath.Related:FIFA bans high-altitude international matches

In various regions across the world, some high-altitude and high-latitude ecosystems have already been affected by changes in climate. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2001) appraised relevant published studies of GlobalWarming Awareness2007. Of a total of 59 plants, 47 invertebrates, 29 amphibians and reptiles, 388 birds, and 10 mammal species, approximately 80 percent showed changes in the biological parameters measured (e.g., start and end of breeding season, shifts in migration patterns, shifts in animal and plant distributions to higher elevations and towards the poles, and changes in body size and population numbers) consistent with GlobalWarming Awareness2007 predictions, while 20 percent showed changes in the opposite direction.
