If you look at JetPhoto's photo it is a great example of what is missing in high school sports and soon to be collegiate. About 2 months ago, or a bit more when it was still snowing out. One of the athletes asks, what is one way outside of the gym to get stronger? I went on to ask him about the rest and recovery he was doing, as well as the fluids and foods he was consuming. After all checked out. I then asked, are you shovelling? He said no, Ok do you rake your yard? Once again no. The remote is replacing the tool, and for younger generations to continue to get stronger, they need a little manual labor in their life. The strongest athletes I have are the ones that also rake, shovel, mow the lawn when needed. Secondly, NSCA which is one of the most respected organizations in the strength and conditioning field, has implemetned a new strength and conditioning certification to improve conditioning for all tactical occupations, such as police, fire, ems and esu. They just had a national conference last week, and from the sound of it, it is progressing well. So, if any one in the exercise science field, who has either a phys. ed, exercise science or exercise physiology degree and a passion for emergency servies, you may want to look into this

Crossfit, In my opinion from a strength and conditioning stand point, coaching at the high school and collegiate level, is a bit out there. It gets results, but not in a strength. The more concerning thing in my opinion to crossfit is the reps per exercise. A common exercise performed in Crossfit is the Olympic Clean. From a strength and conditioning viewpoint, the clean needs to be a dynamic and explosive exercise, focusing on several phases of the lift in order to complete properly, which can take sometime in order to truly understand, and years to master. With the cleans being an explosive exercise the reps should be low anywhere from 1-5, with rest time incorporated accordingly to the workload. Crossfit, combines 12 reps of cleans following 12 pulls ups or muscle ups, and a round of burpees, or any other exercise that you can name. In my opinion again, and other strength and conditioning coaches I work with, is that the programming of crossfit, though great since it is getting people moving and creating a buzz, is flawed since injuries can increase and the values of the individual lifts are missed. Though I am negative about Crossfit, it may serve a purpose with this line of work, high intensity training and round after round, similar to some of the demands in the emergency service field. It also creates team work and togetherness, so there is some great points to crossfit. Just be careful, do what is right for you. And my opinions are from getting atheltes stronger, so my views are a bit different, but hope any information can be helpful.

Crossfit, is more of a team effort. It promotes completing the task and no one is done until the last person is done. You are timed with max reps, workout completion. The team concept I feel is what is the real driving factor behind crossfit.

That sure is a big surprise to come upon.

This topic and new drug was just on this evenings "Spike TV" show "1000 ways to die". Pretty crazy substance

No affiliation either, but why not contact an officer through email? I feel it would be the best way to get your answers

No problem, they did a better job with coverage and information compared to the recent Croton incident

Call was south of the Arcadian Shopping Center, and South of Sparta Cemetery

I will have to agree with Chris, the Pleasantville Vac rehab was excellent, an amazing resource for a day like yesterday. Thank you for being there and very professional and proactive!

NY10570 sounds like a very good rebuttal, because no volley FD pays for alcohol, However, I for one don't think drinking should be an expense for either volunteer or paid. I feel that if we are going to go off topic as you have, that both groups should be held to represent themselves in a positive demeanor and be fit for duty

Saints, but probably will hold with the colts till the 4th quarter, with the Colts winning 41-24

Three separate incidences at work. At my job it is only paid ems in the vicinity, and I had to wait 20 minutes for the ambulance. So it is not a paid vs. vollie thing, it is about public education. Everyone takes the ambulance instead of the cab. It strains every department no matter where ya look

nice truck positioning. thanks for sharing the pics. Very useful
