Athletes and coaches often break off-season programs into cycles, with the first cycle primarily focusing on developing strength and muscle mass. In the weight room, this translates into lower repetitions and heavier weights. As pre-season approaches, athletes usually focus more on improving their conditioning and doing higher repetitions in the weight room...
...speckled, color-saturated vistas into distant postcards. The window effect isn't just a mannerism. It speaks of a certain anxiety, the desire to guard memory in the act of revealing it: "The more evanescent the emotion I want to convey," Hodgkin once remarked, "the thicker the panel, the heavier the framing, the more elaborate the border, so that this delicate thing will remain protected and intact...
Both of Harvard's starting post-players, Davis and Allison Feaster, measure less than six feet and often appear over-matched by taller, heavier forwards and centers...
...years ago, that appears to be what happened. The change is reflected in the chemical composition of rocks like limestone, which incorporate two isotopes of carbon in proportion to their abundance in seawater - carbon 12, which is preferentially taken up by algae during photosynthesis, and carbon 13, its slightly heavier cousin. By sampling ancient limestones, Knoll and his colleagues have determined that the ratio of carbon 12 to carbon 13 remained stable for most of the Proterozoic Eon, a boggling expanse of time that stretched from 2.5 billion years ago to the end of the Vendian. But at the close...
...early universe but now found almost exclusively in nuclear accelerators, that seemed to be divided into the same four types: the muon (a sort of heavy electron), the muon neutrino and two more quarks. And in 1976, Stanford University physicist Martin Perl announced he had found a third, even heavier electron, which he dubbed the tau--a discovery that earned him the other half of this year's physics Nobel. Perl's finding suggested that there might be a third family of particles, most of the other members of which were also found in the 1970s. Last spring, with...
