How to Help Your Razor Blades Last Longer

How to Help Your Razor Blades Last Longer
Have you ever wondered why you need to keep replacing your razor blades so often even when their only job is to trim hair? Think about it, it's a piece of sharp metal against HAIR.

So why is it that you need to keep buying new razor blades so often?

Razor blades become dull more quickly when moisture is left on the metal after you're done shaving or trimming. This causes the metal to oxidize - or rust - faster, and minuscule particles will chip and fall off, resulting in a dull blade.

Maintaining the longevity of a razor blade is simple, just make sure to wipe it off completely after use and keep it in a dry place. This way, you won't have to throw out as many razor blades as before, and spend as much money replacing them.

Eco-friendly Diapers

Eco-friendly Diapers

Did you know that there are over four million babies born every year in the United States, and that the average baby who uses disposable diapers goes through about 8,000 of them? Imagine that, 8,000 diapers per every one of those four million who are born annually in the U.S. It's a wonder how we're not already all drowning in diaper waste.

That isn't the case ... yet, but it's still horrifying to think about all those plastic-covered diapers that don't break down for millions of years, just sitting in landfills, with thousands more added to that pile every day.

So why hasn't anyone invented a more eco-friendly alternative to the commonly used disposable diaper? Oh wait, plenty of people already have.

Many may find the idea of reusable diapers off-putting or unsanitary, but that may be because they have the wrong idea of what reusable diapers are. They aren't just pieces of cloth that require hours of washing and gallons of soapy water before they can reused. Plenty of companies are producing diapers that are biodegradable or have easily removable inserts that naturally break down in the environment after they've been used.

Eco-friendly doesn't mean these diapers are less absorbent or necessarily more expensive either. Below is an alphabetical list of some companies that produce eco-friendlier diapers than the traditional Pamper or Huggies, and all have gotten very positive reviews.

Bambo Nature

Eco-friendly DiapersBambo Nature diapers are actually designed like traditional disposable diapers, but they are much thinner very absorbent with a unique layer that wicks moisture away from a baby's bottom, which means it does its job while creating less waste.

Eco-friendly DiapersbumGenius diapers are cloth snap-on diapers that come with inserts made of natural fibers. This design means parents don't need to carry around bulky disposables everywhere they take their child, and can simply pack the inserts, which take up a lot less room. The company also produces an all-in-one diaper that can be adjusted to accommodate a baby's size as he or she grows, which is pretty convenient.

Cushie Tushies

Cushie Tushies' diapers contain cloth absorbent boosters made of bamboo and organic cotton. According to the website, these diapers can last 3-4 hours between changes, while a lining also helps wick moisture away from the skin.

Earth's Best

Eco-friendly DiapersEarth's Best's mission is to provide natural and organic care products for babies and toddlers, including formula, soft baby foods and cereals, wipes and chlorine-free diapers. According to their website, the diapers are made of renewable resources and fewer petrochemicals than most commercial diapers.

G Diapers

Eco-friendly DiapersG Diapers consist of reusable cloth covers with disposable, biodegradable inserts. The cloth is made of washable cotton that is designed to breathe to keep a baby's bottom dry, and they come in a wide range of fun colors and patterns. The inserts are designed so that can be flushed, composted or simply thrown away. That is a heck of  a lot more convenient than figuring out how to roll up and dispose of a plastic diaper, which usually fills up the trash can pretty quickly.

Seventh Generation

Eco-friendly DiapersSeventh Generation produces a whole line of eco-friendly products, including home-cleaning solutions, laundry detergents, recycled toilet paper, body wash, lotions and of course, diapers. With a mission on making diapers using only the materials babies need and nothing they don't, their green diapers are fragrance- and latex-free, and also do not contain petroleum-based lotions or chlorine.

Eco-friendly DiapersThirsties diapers are cloth nappies that made of high-quality fabric that are sourced as locally as possible, which means the diapers are not being made in places like China with substandard materials, then creating unnecessary carbon emissions during transport. Their website also says their warehouse is 100% powered by wind energy, with any carbon footprints created during production offset by Renewable Energy Certificates. Almost all of Thirsties' products are created while keeping renewability, recyclability and offsetting carbon emission in mind.

How to Personalize Your Photo Albums

Generic photo albums are really boring to look at, so I decided to personalize some of mine by covering them with fabric. That doesn't mean you have to use fabric to customize your own photo album though. Use whatever materials you like to bring a personal touch to the covers.

How to Personalize Your Photo Albums

I find the cheap, generic photo albums are easiest to work with, because they have simple screws and bindings that you can remove to add or take out pages, which means they're much easier to disassemble and customize, then put back together.

How to Personalize Your Photo Albums
I personalized my albums further by stitching dates
into the fabric before gluing it onto the album cover.
For my project, I simply took the album apart, glued fabric to the bindings and covers, then put the album back together. Now all my photo albums are much lovelier to look at on my shelf.

Customizing empty photo albums also make great gifts for other people, and you can include photos, notes and other fun decorative touches to some of the pages as a nice surprise for the person receiving the album.

Don't like keeping your photos in an album? How about in a box?

White Vinegar as Natural Mouthwash

You know, if you're brushing and flossing properly, you really don't need toothpaste or mouthwash to keep your breath fresh. But if you absolutely need to use a mouthwash, and are looking for a natural alternative to commercial products, then try using white vinegar. White vinegar has great antibacterial properties that will kill the germs in your mouth.

White Vinegar as Natural Mouthwash

You'll Need:

- white vinegar
- distilled water
- cloves, mint leaves or peppermint (optional)

1. Add one part white vinegar to four parts distilled water. Add some cloves, mint leaves or peppermint to the mixture if you'd like a little bit of flavor.
2. Swish and gargle this solution in your mouth as you would any other mouthwash.
3. Spit and rinse thoroughly. You don't want to leave any vinegar lingering in your mouth. The acid in the vinegar is what helps whiten your teeth, but leaving it in your mouth over a long period of time won't be good for the enamel. After rinsing thoroughly, you're done!

This is a very simple and natural way to refresh your breath and mouth without using commercial mouth rinses that are loaded with artificial flavors and other chemicals. Also helps kills the bacteria in the corners of your mouth that you missed while brushing.

Curious about other natural ways to maintain your oral hygiene? Try replacing toothpaste with baking soda and/or oil pulling!

Make Your Own Unique Mouse Pad

Make Your Own Unique Mouse Pad
I needed a new mouse pad, but no way was I going to go out and buy one. I figured if I could make my own pop filter for my microphone, I could easily make a mouse pad out of things laying around the house.

I Used:

- a piece of cardboard
- scissors
- fabric
- glue

How I Did It:

1. I cut the cardboard into a size I was comfortable with.
2. I cut out a piece of fabric that large enough to cover at least one side of the cardboard.
3. I glued the edges of the fabric into place, and I was done! (I made sure to only glue the edges of the fabric that were wrapped onto the underside of the cardboard, as I didn't want the glue that seeped through the fabric to affect the smooth surface of the "mouse pad". This would make it difficult to use an optical mouse on the end product.)

Make Your Own Unique Mouse Pad

This is the most basic way to make a mouse pad (as I needed one in a hurry), but get creative by trying different materials, shapes and patterns. It's a lot more fun and environmentally friendly than going out to buy a mouse pad, not to mention you can make it unique to your aesthetic. Don't go out and buy things to create your new mouse pad, challenge yourself by using whatever materials you already have.

As almost everyone has a computer these days, a mouse pad you made yourself would be a great, personalized gift for a friend as well.

Professional and business services added 300 new jobs in May, a 0.2 percent increase from April. Both gross activity and net absorption through mid-year 2010 have increased as tenants take advantage of low rents in class A and B space.

San Diego retail vacancy saw an increase to 7 percent in the second quarter of this year compared to an adjusted rate of 6.3 percent last quarter and 5.1 percent  this time last year. San Diego posted negative absorption for the quarter with 358,000 square feet.

San Diego industrial market absorption was positive for the first time since the third quarter 2008 with 241,709 square feet being absorbed. First quarter net absorption totaled negative 889,620 square feet.

How to end the battle over marijuana

U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy warned Del Mar last year that, if voters enacted a proposition allowing medical marijuana dispensaries, city employees who assisted in the law’s implementation — even the mayor and council members — would not be immune from criminal prosecution under federal law. Federal prosecutors in Oakland, Chico, Eureka and in other states have issued similar warnings.

In Colorado, where medical and recreational use of marijuana was legalized by voters last year, an appeals court recently ruled that, because marijuana remains illegal under federal law, employers have the right to fire a worker who tests positive for marijuana — even if the employee did not smoke the dope on the job, was a paraplegic who used it as medicine, and even if the state law says companies cannot fire employees for their off-duty, “lawful activity.”

These are just two examples of the nationwide legal conflict stemming from the federal Controlled Substances Act, which classifies marijuana as a Schedule I drug — defined as having the greatest potential for abuse and no accepted medical use — and the increasing number of states and local governments acting to legalize marijuana for some purposes.

This conflict came into sharp focus again last month as the San Diego City Council began consideration of a new ordinance that would again allow medical marijuana dispensaries to operate in the city. The council essentially scuttled the overly permissive regulations proposed by Mayor Bob Filner, directing the City Attorney’s Office to instead draft a tougher proposal that will then be reviewed by community planning groups and the city Planning Commission before coming back to the council probably late this year.

But no matter what San Diego does, no matter how weak or tough the regulations it might enact, there will still be that conflict with federal law. Until that conflict is resolved, a legal cloud will hang over all state and local marijuana laws. Public employees who help implement those regulations will still be vulnerable. Legitimate medical patients who find relief with marijuana could still feel the sting of corporate policies that have zero tolerance for drug use.

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, an Orange County conservative Republican with a libertarian bent, has launched a new congressional push for a bill that would modify the Controlled Substances Act to grant immunity from federal prosecution to marijuana users, dispensary operators and others acting legally under state law. Two other Republicans and three Democrats have signed on in support of Rohrabacher’s bill.

Frankly, it probably has zero chance of passage anytime soon. And the U-T San Diego Editorial Board continues to believe that the health and social costs of marijuana use far outweigh any benefits of legalizing the drug.

But give Rohrabacher some credit. Washington, D.C., is where the battle over marijuana should be fought — not City Hall.

007 exhibition looks at screen spy as style icon

If there's one thing James Bond has taught us it's that behind every great spy is a great tailor.

A new exhibition at London's Barbican Centre explores the style of the suave secret agent, displaying costumes, props, set pieces and design drawings from half a century of 007 films.

Assembled with help from the films' producer, EON Productions- which has a new Bond movie to promote in the fall - the exhibition includes the spy's tuxedos, Bond girl ball gowns and villains' vestments, as well as a selection of props and gadgets. There are also sketches by the films' influential set designer, Ken Adam, whose cavernous lairs and sleek space stations did much to create the movies' modernist luster.

The show is both a reflection of the remarkable staying power of Ian Fleming's fictional secret agent and a tribute to the British, European and American craftspeople and designers who have created the look of the quintessentially British icon.

"The films always attracted the greatest design talent," curator Bronwyn Cosgrave said Thursday. They ranged from the German-born Adam to Academy Award-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming, a Briton who helped put together the exhibition.

"In the beginning they didn't have the money - but they had the ingenuity," Cosgrave said.

The money came later, as the globally successful franchise sent Bond to exotic locations around the world - and eventually, in 1979's "Moonraker," into space.

Clips from the movies are screened throughout the exhibition, which includes items that have become mini-icons, from the white bikini worn by Ursula Andress in the first Bond film, "Dr. No," to the tight blue swim trunks sported by Daniel Craig in "Casino Royale."

Cosgrave said that since "Dr. No" in 1962, "Bond has consistently led the way" in style.

She said Sean Connery's "conduit cut" suit by Saville Row tailor Anthony Sinclair from the 1960s films is "the men's equivalent of a Chanel suit," while a sharply cut tuxedo is so identified with the character it has become known as "the James Bond look."

The first time Bond appeared onscreen, in "Dr. No," viewers saw the silk-lined cuff of his tuxedo sleeve before they saw Connery's face.

Cosgrave said the success of the look is simple to explain.

"It's sexy," she said. "When does a man look his best? In a tuxedo."

The exhibition includes tuxes worn by Bonds from Connery (classic Saville Row) to Roger Moore (by designer-to-the-stars Doug Hayward) to Craig, who is dressed by American designer Tom Ford. Ford's lean suits - in neatly circular fashion - draw on the 1960s for inspiration.

Cosgrave said that because actors typically play 007 over several films - apart from one-off George Lazenby in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" - "each Bond had an opportunity to forge a relationship with their tailor. As a result, they're impeccably dressed."

All those designer names reveal another Bond secret - 007 is both an international brand himself and a magnet for other luxury labels.

With the 23rd Bond film, "Skyfall," set for release in October, the exhibition gift shop lets visitors purchase a piece of Bond style, from cocktail shakers and martini glasses to silk ties and gold bars made of chocolate.

"Designing 007" opens Friday and runs to Sept. 5. It will then tour internationally, opening at the TIFF Bell Lightbox in Toronto in October.

Dominican lawmakers seek to ease sex abuse penalty

Lawmakers in the Dominican Republic are considering a proposal to reduce prison time for some domestic violence and sexual abuse crimes, sparking outrage from human rights and women's groups in the Caribbean country.

Dozens of people gathered outside the Congress on Thursday to protest the proposed overhaul of the criminal code. Demonstrators carried cardboard coffins they said were intended to represent the victims of violence in a country that has long struggled with violent crime.

The new criminal code would raise the overall maximum sentence for serious offenses from 30 to 40 years and codifies the crime of kidnapping among its many changes.

But the version already approved by a legislative committee, which has been under consideration for 12 years, would reduce the sentence for sexual abuse of a minor from 5 years to 3 years in most cases. It would also reduce the penalty for some forms of domestic violence, treating it as a serious offense only when there is death or major injury. The new code would also provide for jail terms in cases of defamation.

Advocates for women's rights have also complained that abortion would still be a criminal offense in all cases, even when the mother's life is in danger. Lorena Espinoza, who attended the rally as a member of the Women's Health Collective, said the new proposal would also eliminate a maximum penalty in cases of incest.

"These sentences and omissions amount to a step backward for women and are unacceptable," Espinoza said.

Demostenes Martinez, chairman of the Justice Committee in the lower house of Congress, has said that the changes are the result of 12 years of debate with input from various sectors of Dominican society.

Both houses of Congress must still vote on the new criminal code and it must be signed by President Danilo Medina before it takes effect.

IMF role

Share this article
Have your say

In response to Ellis Thorpe (Letters, 17 July), increasing taxes can hardly be described as “market fundamentalism”.

Indeed, if words are to have any meaning such policies must be described as state fundamentalism.

Given that the IMF is funded by money expropriated from the world’s productive citizens in order to fund irrational government intervention programmes and mercantilist economic policies, this is entirely appropriate for this anti-capitalist organisation.

Nick Chubb Talks Gators

One of the hottest rising prospects for the entire class of 2014 is running back Nick Chubb. He has been one of the most heavily recruited players in the Southeast and the country over the last several weeks. Chubb has picked up offers from some of the top tier programs in America.

Nick Chubb is the top ranked running back in the Peach state for 2014. He checks in at 5'10 and 208-pounds out of Cedartown (GA) Cedartown high school and talked with for the latest.

I'm excited that it's our turn but I am still going to go through the process slow and visit each school."

Chubb is seeming gaining offers each day from some of the top tier programs in the country.

"Georgia, Georgia Tech, Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, Florida, Ohio State, Purdue, Michigan State and Auburn."

Chubb is not as familiar with the University of Florida but says he would like to know more.

"I dont really know much about them but hopefully that will change soon. From what the coach from down there told me is that they like the running backs to run down hill and that's me. I give it all I got to get in the end zone and the shortest way is downhill."

Tyrese Robinson (© Greg Powers)

Breaking Down Oklahoma Signee Tyrese Robinson

Scout and SoonersIllustrated.com take a closer look at Oklahoma signee Tyrese Robinson, a top 10 guard prospect nationally.

SoonerSquad17 Spotlight

Tyrese Robinson, Guard, McKinney (Texas) Boyd

Size: 6-4, 290

Recruiting: Robinson is a long-tenured Oklahoma pledge as he's been committed since Jan. 30, 2016 to the Sooners. He garnered offers nationally during his recruitment, such as Arkansas, Auburn, Georgia, Oklahoma State, Ole Miss, TCU, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, UCLA, Utah, and several others.

Rankings: Robinson is Scout's No. 2 offensive guard in Texas for 2017. He also ranks eighth nationally among guard and is the No. 158 overall prospect in the 2017 Scout 300.

Game clips

Evaluation notes

Robinson is a tough, physical offensive lineman who likely best fits a guard position at the next level. Primarily played right tackle during his final three seasons in high school. Tenacious run-game mauler who locks on and finishes blocks with vigor. Powerful prospect who thrives in the run game, but also wins vast majority of matchups in pass protection.

Robinson can improve hand technique and footwork, but that's common for young prospects. He's a high-major offensive lineman prospect who could potentially be position-versatile at the next level, though either guard spot appears best-suited to his frame and skill set. - Gabe Brooks

Bears confident in reshuffled LB trio

Brian Urlacher's hamstring injury forced Nick Roach to middle linebacker and thrust Geno Hayes into the starting role. What can we expect from Chicago's reshuffled linebacker corps?

The Chicago Bears were given the bad news this week that Brian Urlacher would be out the next 3-4 weeks with a Grade 2 hamstring strain suffered late in last week's contest.

"[We'll miss Urlacher] in all phases," Lovie Smith said. "Great player. He's one of the leaders. He makes all of the calls. Just him being in the huddle helps. We're going to miss him. I can't belittle that at all. We're missing a great player. But you just have to look at Plan B. Plan B for us is pretty good if you do lose a guy like that."

Urlacher and Lance Briggs, who have a combined 15 Pro Bowl appearances, have started 180 games together since Briggs' rookie season in 2003. It will be the first time Briggs has played without Urlacher since 2009, yet Briggs said it won't change how he plays on the field.

"No. Just play. Play your game. Do what you do best," said Briggs.

Briggs' responsibilities won't change, as he'll stay on the weak side. Yet Nick Roach, who has started the past 28 games for the Bears at strong side, or Sam, linebacker, will have entirely new set of duties filling in for Urlacher.

"I wish that Brian was in there, obviously. It's unfortunate to see him go down," said Roach. "But I've been prepared for [the switch] for a while."

Roach has started 55 games in his six-year career but only three of those at the middle linebacker, or Mike, position, where he'll now be in charge of making the calls on the field.

"On the outside you really don't have to begin any of the communications," Roach said. "Playing in the middle you have to be the one to initiate all the checks and start all the adjustments. It starts with the Mike letting everybody know something is going to change once we get set, or just in general getting the call to the defense, and everybody else's job is just to echo."

Briggs said the experience of the defense together will make Roach's job as traffic cop much easier.

"Communication is not going to be a problem," said Briggs. "Even if guys don't hear, we've been in the system long enough where we understand, we should all understand, by recognizing formation and seeing what [sets] teams are in."

Playing inside also changes Roach's gap responsibility against the run, which will be crucial this week when Chicago faces arguably the best running back in the game in Minnesota's Adrian Peterson.

"It will be different just because I'll be in different spots," Roach said. "We have different gaps depending on which linebacker spot that you're lined up in. So the different types of tackles that you would be able to make at Sam won't come up at Mike because you're in a different position. In terms of stopping [Peterson], you've still got to get everybody to him to get him down."

Replacing Roach on the strong side will be Geno Hayes, whom the Bears signed this past offseason. He played his first four years in the league in Tampa Bay's version of the Cover 2 defense. Hayes spent the entire preseason in the starting lineup next to Roach and Briggs, while Urlacher was recovering from knee surgery.

"This is not my first time around. It's not my first rodeo," Hayes said. "It was great getting good experience in the preseason, getting accustomed to the defense, accustomed with the guys. I was out there playing ball day in and day out. So, it was great."

The opportunity for Hayes to get first-team reps in the preseason, learning on the fly his responsibilities alongside Briggs and Roach, should make it an easy transition for him come Sunday afternoon at the Metrodome.

"It helps plugging Geno in because coaches have seen what he can do, not only just here in training camp but what he did in Tampa Bay," said Briggs. "He's a very good linebacker. And this is a great opportunity for him."

Hayes was signed to a one-year deal this offseason. The next four games will be his chance to prove he deserves a long-term deal.

"It's a great opportunity," Hayes said. "Any time you get the opportunity to step on the field and make plays, it's always that chance you've got to go out there and take. It's big."

No one can replace Urlacher but Hayes believes, as a group, the current linebacker trio is good enough to help guide the Bears into the playoffs.

"Yes, we can," said Hayes. "We have guys in position. Nick is going to be a great guy. He can step in to that role and make those plays that we need to make at middle linebacker, so we're not really worried about that. We're going to still have Urlacher on the sideline giving us tips and things of that nature, so we're not too worried. We're going to do what we came to do."

Briggs said that, if Chicago can make the playoffs this year – which will likely require the team winning three out of its final four games – he expects Urlacher to return in the postseason.

"We're fortunate that Brian went down and we're 8-4 with four games to get into the playoffs," Briggs said. "It's our job now to get ourselves into those playoffs. To make sure we get into the playoffs. Once we get in those playoffs, Brain will be ready, and he'll come back and he'll lead us the way he always has."

What recruiters were responsible for the most NFL Draft picks over the last three years? Here's your answer in part four of this series. I like to call them the "Recruiting Assassins."

What makes a good college football recruiter?

It's more than just being a good salesman.

Of course you need to have to good people skills. As a recruiter, you have to be able to communicate well with today's athlete.

I asked Doug Marrone once what made him a good recruiter. His response – "I listen to what they say."

That's important because the hard sell can't always be on. These kids must be heard.

A good recruiter will identify who's in the prospect's ear and who's in their inner circle? Is it mom, dad, a sibling, aunt, uncle or coach? It could be a friend or teammate. A good recruiter will recruit these people just as hard as the recruit.

And of course, a good recruiter has to work it and I mean work it hard each and every day. Nowadays, there are no days off when it comes to recruiting.

Of course when it comes to college football, recruiting is only half the battle. Once you sign them and get them on campus, its then time to develop them as players and young men. There's that old saying "it take a village to raise a child." That also holds true when you build a college football program because it takes an entire staff/program to develop each player.

Some programs are better at that than others. Some programs don't sign the high end, high profiled four and five-star recruits. That's why a good recruiter can identify and evaluate talent. A good recruiter can spot a diamond in the rough, knowing that down the line, they can develop into a good college football player. A good recruiter doesn't care about the stars next to a player's name.

A good recruiter has all of these traits.

That's what made this exercise so fun. I took a look at the previous three NFL Drafts and the 763 selections to specifically find the lead recruiter on each when they came out of high school and signed with their respective schools. This is a testament to their recruiting skills as well as the programs ability to develop talent.

Below is a list of nine college assistant coaches that made the cut with the most draftees, combining the NFL Drafts of 2012, 2013 and 2014. You will see some familiar names and you will see some surprise names.

I like to call them the Recruiting Assassins.

Wilson is the LSU running backs coach and recruiting coordinator. He has been with the Tigers since 2010. Wilson recruited seven players that were drafted earlier this month - Zach Mettenberger, Jeremy Hill, Odell Beckham, Jr., Jarvis Landry, Trai Turner, Alfred Blue, and James Wright. Wilson recruited two the year before - Tyrann Mathieu and Spencer Ware. I recently spoke to Ed Orgeron about Wilson. Orgeron was his mentor. I asked coach O what makes Wilson such a good recruiter. He simply stated that "Frank Wilson has it all." There's no doubt in my mind that Wilson is a rising star. He's only 40 years old. He's from New Orleans St. Augustine High School and was coached locally there at O. Perry Walker. No one recruits the state of Louisiana better. You will see his name pop up more and more. Just wait until you see this last season's crop of kids he signed enter the NFL Draft in a few years.

Thompson has been an assistant coaching veteran in the South since the late 80s. He spent most of his early coaching years at Georgia Tech under George O'Leary. He then had coaching stints at Alabama, LSU, and Central Florida. Thompson spent three seasons at Tennessee before returning to the Crimson Tide for the third time. In this exercise he recruited players drafted from both Tennessee and Alabama. Thompson had drafted players earlier this month that he was responsible for in Daniel McCullers (Tennessee), C.J. Mosley, and A.J. McCarron. In 2013, he recruited draftees D.J. Fluker and Nico Johnson. In 2012, Thompson recruited picks Malik Jackson (Tennessee), Mark Barron, and Trent Richardson. That's an impressive list of drafted players over the last three drafts for this Alabama linebacker's coach.

Everyone knows in the state of Florida that James Coley has always been an excellent recruiter. Coley, now the offensive coordinator at the University of Miami, did his recruiting damage here while serving as an assistant coach at Florida State. He responsible for the Seminole signings Lamarcus Joyner and Kelvin Benjamin, who were both drafted earlier this month. In the 2013 draft class, he recruited Dustin Hopkins, Xavier Rhodes, and Bjorn Werner. Coley recruited 2012 draftees Michael Harris and Andrew Datkow to FSU. He also recruited T.Y. Hilton while he was at FIU. Hilton was drafted in 2012.

Like Coley above, Horton recruited future NFL Draft picks when he was at another school – Arkansas. With the Razorbacks, Horton was the running backs coach and recruiting coordinator. He recruited 2014 draft pick Zack Hocker for the Razorbacks and was part of a group effort to land Chris Smith. Tyler Wilson, Chris Gragg, and Knile Davis were all recruited by Horton for the Razorbacks and part of the 2013 draft class. The year before, he was responsible for signing Joe Adams, Jarius Wright, and Greg Childs. They were all drafted in 2012.

Vanderlinden is one of the surprise names on this list. He spent 13 seasons at Penn State and was the Nittany Lions linebacker coach. He was responsible for recruiting 2014 draft picks Allen Robinson and Khari Fort. 2013 draft picks Michael Mauti and Gerald Hodges were Vanderlinden recruits to Happy Valley. Vanderlinden recruits Devon Still, Johnny Troutman, and Jack Crawford were all drafted in 2012. He is now serving as the inside linebackers coach at Air Force.

Bostad did quite well at Wisconsin, where he served as the Badgers run game coordinator, offensive line coach and tight ends coach over a period of six years. He's from Pardeeville, Wisconsin and primarily recruited in-state, where he knocked it out of the park. Six of his seven recruits listed below were all from the state of Wisconsin. This is a testament to his eye for talent and the Badgers exceptional player development. Bostad recruited Beau Allen, who was drafted earlier this month. In 2013, he was responsible for the signings of drafts picks Travis Frederick and Ricky Wagner. Kevin Zeitler, Peter Konz, Bradie Ewing, and Brad Nortman were all recruits of Bostad who were drafted in 2012. Bostad spent last season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He's now the offensive line coach for the Tennessee Titans.

Rob Ianello did quite well on the recruiting trail while at Notre Dame. There, he recruited 2014 draft picks Chris Watt, T.J. Jones, and Zack Martin. Ianello landed a big one in the 2013 draft class in Tyler Eifert. The year before, he was responsible for 2012 draftees Darius Fleming and Michael Floyd. Ianello is no longer with the Fighting Irish. He's currently at the University of Kansas. Ianello is now the Director of Research for the program after spending two seasons as the Jayhawks wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator.

Rodney Garner spent 15 years in Athens as the UGA defensive line coach and recruiting coordinator. He has always been regarded as one of the top recruiters in the nation. He has put a ton of players in the NFL and five over the past three draft classes. In 2013, Garner recruited draft picks John Jenkins and Alex Ogletree to Georgia. DeAngelo Tyson, Cordy Glenn, and Brandon Boykin were all 2012 draftees that Garner signed while with the Bulldogs. Garner has returned for his second stint at Auburn, his alma mater. Garner is the Tigers defensive line coach.

Many may not realize that Addazio was one of many really good recruiters on the Urban Meyer staff at the University of Florida. Dominique Easley, Jon Halopio, and Jaylen Watkins were all drafted earlier this month and were Addazio recruits. The year before Jordan Reed and Shariff Floyd were 2013 draftees that Addazio signed while at Florida. While in Gainesville he served as the offensive line coach and then offensive coordinator. Since he left the program, Addazio has been on the fast track. He was the head coach at Temple for two seasons and is now the head coach Boston College.

Coming tomorrow in this series of looking at the past three NFL Drafts is part five. On Friday I will look at the University of Texas and their decline in the NFL Draft over this time.

*Note: The source for this paper is the 2008 ISU 12th Annual Symposium – ‘Space Solutions to Earth’s Global Challenges’

The aim of this study was to use the upper trapezius muscle as a representative of the musculoskeletal support system to determine the effect on muscle tension due changing from upright position to a lying position and whether this change could be useful in the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders. Twenty two female subjects participated in this study. Myometric measurements of the upper trapezius muscle on both sides of the body were recorded in a standing, sitting and supine position. Changing from upright positions to a supine position reduced the upper trapezius muscle support function by up to one fifth as characterized with diminishing of muscle tone and stiffness. The change in tone and stiffness of the trapezius muscle is of significance to the well being of sedentary workers. Introducing regular brief breaks of simple unchallenging movements while being in a supine position should enhance recovery from prolonged sitting.

1. Background

1.1 Model from History

In his treatise De Motu Animalium the father of modern biomechanics Giovanni Alfonso Borelli stated already 300 hundred years ago:  ‘…muscular tensions inevitably have to be involved in holding posture’ (1). Also, father of occupational medicine Bernardino Ramazzini said the following about causation of clerk’s neck & shoulder complaints: “Yet ’tis certain that in each City and Town, vast Numbers of Persons still earn their Bread by writing. The Diseases of Persons incident to this Craft arise from three Causes: First, constant sitting, secondly, the perpetual Motion of the Hand in the same manner and thirdly, the Attention and Application of the Mind” (2). Ramazzini listed several other maladies related to prolonged sitting.

Great minds didn’t have more or less sophisticated devices like EMG (Electromyograph), MRE (Magnetic resonance elastography) or MYOTON (Myometric measuring device, as fully described by Vain et al. [10]) to characterise skeletal muscle in different functions and its properties. Indeed their tools were those like inspection and palpation, and system-biological deep pondering upon their observations integrability.

How did scientists characterise the skeletal muscle ensuring the sitting posture in 1700. Obviously, there was interest for it. One could use the tactile sense of the fingers and establish the change in e.g. upper trapezius (UT) muscle in between these positions by palpation. The change can clearly be established – palpation, sensing with fingers is a good method. Anybody can make this discovery palpating their own UT muscles in these positions – much in line with Borelli and Ramazzini. Still, the result of the palpation study cannot be shared with other investigators – this is the limitation of the sensing method – that are why it cannot be used in modern scientific research.

After 300 years passed, Ariëns and her colleagues in 2001 (3) used questionnaire study to conclude that sitting position is an independent risk factor for developing neck pain for the people that sit 95% of the working time.

1.2 Model from Space Life Studies

Human is quite an extraordinary mammal in a sense that during the whole life, each day we change the direction of the longitudinal axis relative to most significant environmental factor – the gravitational force. From morning till night our longitudinal axis relative Earth’s radius have to be supported against gravitational force. By night, the situation is changed drastically by 90° when we lie horizontally, which eliminates the need for the vertical support function. Humans spend in this position one third of the lifetime. Lying down works as the most natural recovering intervention to start the next day. If we were to imagine viewing the whole human life during a one-hour movie, the most noticeable activity would be change between (standing,) sitting and lying. If anyone would observe this from outer space, it could be considered a major factor for understanding our physiology.

On the Earth, the approach of horizontal bed rest microgravity simulation studies is based on the same changing of the longitudinal axis by 90°; the rhythm of the change is different. Staying in horizontal position for couple of months without the need to counteract with the gravitational force causes disuse of muscles and osteoporosis in bones as well as numerous other changes in the whole organism also in organ systems and the cellular level; but the applications of the bed rest (BR) research reveal the crucial role of gravity to health (4). In principle, studying the effect of microgravity on life deals with support function qualitative and quantitative loading. Zero-G spaceflight provokes inherent supportlessness condition in human body with its consequences.

1.3 Model from Robots

For biomechanics, design of bipedal robots is mutually stimulating. Their applications represent experiments, which may support or falsify ideas about the organization and function of living motion and support systems. Bipedal robot – being also a model of a human – needs support and locomotion system. Robots must have flexible waist, which together with their legs have to be supplied with muscle-like property of elasticity/damping ability. This gives to robots self-stability and humanoid-like economic smooth gait, the same time diminishing the need of “constant neural” control (5, 6, and 7).

Bipedal walking – a priori most physiological motion series for human – is absent in weightlessness of Space. The floor is absent. Efforts are made with promising results to offset Earth based rhythmic ground reactions with the Dynamic Foot Stimulus device to combat musculoskeletal disorders in microgravity (8, 9).

On the Earth, we should think of lifelong unassisted natural walking as the most harmonically orchestrated function of a human body in synchrony with breathing, heart beating and triggering pleasure giving raise of theta rhythms from hippocampal neurones (10).

2. Study population and methods

2.1 Study population

The participants were 22 employed working female patients with widespread pain in their rehabilitation cycle in Rheumatism Foundation Hospital. Each of the participants gave their informed written consent. The study was vetted by the Ethical Committee of the Päijät–Häme Hospital District to ensure that it was conducted under the terms of the Declaration of Helsinki.

2.2 Methods

In step 1, each participant stood in relaxed position, upper extremities pendent on sides. They were asked to focus on a mark 4 meters away in order to fix the tilt of the head and the angle of the neck. Non-toxic marks were highlighted on the skin above the middle of the upper trapezius belly halfway from the acromion to the seventh cervical (C7) process.

In step 2, a four-legged wooden chair with a padded backrest and seat without armrests, and without height adjustability was used. Each participant sat in a comfortable relaxed upright position, hands in lap. Again, they were asked to focus on a mark 4 meters away descended on the eyes’ level of participants.

In step 3, the participant lay comfortably supine on a padded examination table.

In all steps the myometric measuring device (figure 1), as fully described by Vain et al. (11) Viir et al. (12) and Gavronski et al. (13), was applied to the marks, and 20 consecutive measurements (at an interval of 1–2 seconds between each) were done twice in two series. Participant was allowed to fidget between two measurement series. Then we compared the results obtained in upright positions with those obtained in the supine position. The differences, significant at the 95% level, are reported on the basis of a Student’s t-test.

2.3 Myometry method

Briefly, the Myoton device registers mechanical oscillations of the tissue provoked by the device itself—the testing-end component of the apparatus works also as a sensor for tissue response. An acceleration transducer, situated on the testing-end, allows the muscle deformation evoked by mechanical impact (0.4 N) to be recorded. Because the neural activation of the skeletal muscle may occur after 25 ms and the properties of the muscle may change (13), the duration of the impact is set at 15 ms to avoid neural reactions and nonelastic deformations of the tissue. In response to the given impact, the tissue (in our case, muscle tissue), together with the testing end, performs natural damping oscillations, governed by the viscoelastic properties of the biological tissue.

Whereas electromyography registers the parameters of electrical activity of the skeletal muscle, the parameters measured by the Myoton device reflect the conditions (i.e., the workability restoration time of muscles during work and after it), and the character of mechanical tension transmission from the sarcomere to the bone levers (15).

Figure 1. The Myoton device and the myometric method (illustration designed by Ivo-Ott Hirvesoo). The principle of myometry lies in giving the muscle under investigation a dosed local mechanical impulse shortly followed by quick release, and recording the mechanical response of the muscle. [Figure reprinted with the permission of Journal of Mechanics in Medicine and Biology [12] and the World Scientific Publishing Co Pte, Ltd, Singapore]

2.4 Muscle tone and established parameters

The term “muscle tone” is used to describe the mechanical firmness of skeletal muscle that exists when the muscles are in a steady-state condition, with no voluntary contraction, and can be characterized by certain mechanical properties of the muscle (e.g., stiffness and elasticity).

Three parameters were calculated – muscle frequency, stiffness, and elasticity. The frequency of the damping oscillation characterizes the state of the tissue under mechanical stress. The higher value (Hz) means the tenser the muscle. Muscle tension increases through both contraction and stretching. By definition, the oscillation frequency of the nonactive muscle is muscle tone.

Stiffness reflects the resistance of the tissue to the force that changes its shape. The higher the value (N/m), the more force is needed to modify the shape of tissue. During contraction or loading, the stiffness of skeletal muscle increases.

Elasticity is the ability of tissue to recover its shape after contraction, and it is characterized by the (unit-less parameter) logarithmic decrement of the oscillation. It describes how much mechanical energy is dissipated in this damping. The smaller values mean more elastic tissue. The higher the value, the more energy dissipated and the less elastic the tissue. Opposite of elasticity is plasticity – a plastic body holds the shape it is given.

3. Results

The individual measurement results were combined for each position, and the similarity to normal distribution appeared. The results of the Student’s t-tests follow. The Tukey – Kramer plot was used because it can combine a display of all the data together with a statistical summary and the concise graphs are easily interpreted.

Figure 2. Tukey-Kramer plots: a) Stiffness (stiff) [N/m] and b) tone (freq) [(Hz] in standing 236.07 N/m and 14.76 Hz, sitting 225.7 N/m and 14.26 Hz, lying 125.8 N/m and 9.57 Hz respectively. Stiffness and tone in standing and lying P < 0.0001, stiffness in lying P = 0.04 and tone in lying P = 0.03.

No significant difference is in all parameters between both sides, no significant difference appeared in any parameters between the pre-post fidgeting measurement series, no significant difference is between parameters of stiffness and tone between standing and sitting positions. Significant difference in stiffness and tone in upper trapezius muscle is between upright and lying supine positions. Positioning doesn’t influence the values of UT elasticity (left side 1.09, right 1.05, P=0.09).

4. Discussion

Waging war on the modern chronic diseases provoked by physical inactivity, i.e. sedentary life style requires recognition of targets. The real enemy is Sitting Immobility.  It is our contention that two terms ‘Sedentary Life Style’ and ‘Sitting Immobility’ are essentially near synonyms. The word “sedentary” is derived from the Latin word “sedentarius,” which means “one that sits,” explained by Booth et al. (16) who have defined that individuals who cannot walk briskly at least 30 min each day are sitting too much of the day.

In a physical sense, common life as we know it, is not a chain of constant sport-like efforts, it is rather carrying our own mass and other weights that cannot be considered large. Thus tensed network of musculoskeletal system related to stiffness and elasticity from muscle tissue’s micro and macro levels has to be adapted to life-span mechanical stress. This process could be seen as the mechanical aging of muscular system.

Alarming news: sedentary lifestyle makes us genetically old before our time: key pieces of DNA telomeres shorten more quickly in people spending sedentary life style – this could signify faster cellular ageing (17). A clear motive that is understandable to everyone would be needed to take optimal care of musculoskeletal system.

Optimally up to 40% of human body mass is skeletal muscle tissue. Being continuously informed about the condition of this locomotion engine (i.e. about quality of viscoelastic property of this) is a challenge that needs to be met. Nobody wants to shorten their lifespan, obviously also not with prolonged sitting, if the effect of this is known.

Common sitting immobility with voluntary noncontracted muscles can hardly be characterised by EMG as the neural activation is seen to be low, or virtually absent, but recording visco-elastic properties is quite easily possible, by myometric test (18).

We exhibit that sitting position requires up to 1/5 more tension in UT muscle as compared to the horizontal position. We recommend utilising this phenomenon for regular recovery of muscles’ visco-elastic properties of the people that sit for prolonged periods. In clinical practice we have also obtained results (besides the ones presented within this paper) indicating reduced duration of the morning stiffness and diminished diffuse swelling in limbs of patients with diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis, when they exercised the horizontal movements in their beds 10 times a day. They even organised a so-called “Baby-like Exercising Patients Association” (19).

This positive practical experience has encouraged us to clarify the underlying causation mechanism. For this we have assessed different subject groups. The results of the present study are similar to the results of the study with the same setup in which 15 young female computer workers participated (18).

The solution we propose to sedentary workers, borrowed from Bed Rest study is not lying the whole”siesta time”. Our proposal is: let’s combine diminishing of support function loading and rhythmical walking simulation in horizontal. For shoulder girdle specific simple unchallenging motions are proposed. Two minutes intermittently both actions per hour for muscular system recovering from continuous position controlling.

We see good prospects for such rehabilitation and prevention programme for addressing the complaints stemming from sitting work; potentially the problems that are also costly for the employers in a global sense could find a simple remedy.

It is our contention that every footstep makes life healthier and longer. Still, the current consensus that a 30 minute brisk walk couple times in a week is sufficient for staying healthy only specifies the minimum level, not optimal. Further, we are looking for results of rehab with walking two or more hours per day. A human with the specific ability for bipedal walking should be ready/capable of this.
