8-18 Junk Drawer, Wicker Edition (update with graph)

When I think of the "first" basketball hoop, I have in mind a wicker basket that looks something like this:
Apparently, however, Dr. Naismith's first hoop wasn't really wicker, at least that's not how I would describe the basket in this photo:
via www.authenticbasketball.com
I was thinking of wicker baskets because I was thinking about technological progress in sports after Usain Bolt ran a 9.59 in 100 meters. I am skeptical that he's truly half of a second faster than the world champions of 10 years ago--by which I mean, I am skeptical that if Carl Lewis was running in this era would he really be half of a second behind Bolt. It also seems like an unlikely coincidence that Tyson Gay set a U.S. record in the same contest.
The question that I have been debating with others (though mostly myself) is why times in the 100 meter dash are still dropping. Is it improved training? Finding the right athlete for the race? Shoes? Track surface? Performance enhancing drugs? World records have been falling in swimming at an alarming rate, but there the swim suits are obviously involved. Records fall much less frequently in the Long Jump and other distances. What's going on in the 100? The graph below shows just how dramatic is the recent decline:
The record stood at 10 seconds in 1956. 9.9 something until 1988 (remember Ben Johnson) and then falls two tenths of a second in 3 years??? Today's best long jumpers almost never beat what Bob Beamon jumped in 1968!
This also raises a question relevant to basketball: If basketball was measured "objectively" would LeBron James be 5% better than Michael Jordan? Are basketball players improving as much as track athletes? If not, why not? I recently watched a little of the 1980 NBA championship and I can say without hesitation that the 1980 Lakers would not have a winning record in today's NBA. The Lakers did not have the type of athletes or all around skill that today's NBA players have. It's not even close. I'm curious to hear others thoughts on the issue.
That's my contribution of junk!

It's a number of factors, but sadly PEDs play a major role
A now drug-free Alvin Harrison (silver and gold medallist in Sidney and Atlanta, disqualified and suspended for four years after relay in Sidney) just absolutely flopped in the 400 m first round. He now starts for the Dominican Republic. And I guess that’s his true form, older and without PEDs.
I hope Bolt is drug-free, but I wouldn’t put my hand in the fire for him. Why? Because blood testing in Africa and Jamaica is difficult, the samples spoil too easily. So most unannounced tests are just urine tests. If the Jamaicans should use special designer steroids a la Balco, that’s very difficult to determine.
Chandra Stirrup continues to start for the Bahamas in the ongoing world championships, at age 37, and she is deeply deeply involved in the drug morass. Her former husband is a major witness for the prosecution in the Balco case, having supplied a number of Caribbean and US athletes. An Austrian supplier for athletes in several sports also posed major allegations last year and again this week in German newspapers and magazines.
As for advances in material:
The tracks are undoubtedly getting faster. Even more than a decade ago and as a middle distance runner I felt significant differences between running on a modern (at that time) new track and one built in the 80s or earlier. Spikes and outfits are getting lighter, Japanese company Mizuno made major advances here in the 1990s that were adopted by all other suppliers. Training science is advancing along with allowed nutrition (not just as an athlete, also for children in general). But in the end, the athlete is at the core of it. There are undoubtedly genetic differences from region to region (along with different social, economic, geographic circumstances) that make people best suited for certain sports or disciplines, but it hard to determine how fast that advances.
Example: People in certain regions of Ethiopia and Kenya are much lighter/skinnier on average than Europeans or Americans, they live at high altitude from childhood (that alone isn’t the deciding factor, otherwise you would have great runners from high altitude states around the Himalaya and Andes, though Mexico is a long-distance runners country), their nutrition is heavy in protein (lots of goat and goat milk, hunted animals, plus some vegetables and bread but next to no sugar and few carbs), their way to school is long and their household chores hard, running is a natural form of transportation, and being good at running is a major and fairly “easy” way out of poverty. Those are ideal circumstances to become great mid- to long distance runners.
Conversely people of West African descent (incl. people whose ancestors were brought to the Caribbean) are much more muscular and better suited for sprinting.
Jesse Owens wasn’t built that differently from a modern sprinter in his natural physical abilities, albeit less defined. 1960s Olympics winner Armin Hary (Germany) was probably the first athlete to run 10 seconds flat on 100 m, and he also clearly didn’t do it on drugs and on bad tracks. Everything after the mid-1970s is potentially suspect, especially among female athletes from Eastern Europe and the US. I don’t believe most of their current world records in running and strength disciplines one bit.

Some very good points.....
I trust that track and field is free of PEDs even less than I trust professional cycling.
However, I’m not worried about the issues with blood tests in Jamaica and other warm weather countries. WADA accredited labs are getting better and better, and samples are not kept for years for future testing. At some point in the future, we will know whether or not Bolt uses PEDs. I certainly hope he isn’t, but it’s difficult to be certain.
I also don’t think we should automaticaly assume PEDs are the cause of the drop in times in the 100. And the reason I saw so is because of one of the items in PoliSam’s post…..Bob Beamon. When he popped his jump in Mexico City in 1968….it didn’t just break the worlkd record….it smashed it by a HUGE amount. And there is a history of that type of thing happening in the sport. World records tend to plateau for a period, then make a substantiel drop. That said, I don;t mean to say that PEDs haven’t played a role…maybe even the major role. We just don’t know for sure and to me, that’s kind of sad.

Good point on Bob Beamon
Honestly, my first guess was not PEDs as the main cause for the decline. I figured the track surface and shoes had something to do it with it. Again, the fact that Gay set US record in the very same meet means something to me. I suppose I wouldn’t completely rule out training or technique, thought that seems less likely.
Beamon’s record was set at altitude and the long jump is an especially stochastic event because of the timing of the take-off… and other things that I don’t really understand. From even to event, jumpers best fluctuate a lot. So while big drops do happen, I still think there’s something unusual going on in the 100.

The problem with the blood tests is that it’s not a level playing field. Athletes in many Western European countries (there are exceptions, e.g. Greece isn’t exactly known for great efforts) get tested dozens of times per year by their NATIONAL anti-doping agency, have blood profiles created, the samples get frozen, etc.
Athletes from countries such as Jamaica, many parts of Africa, Russia, and in the past also the US although that is improving aren’t getting tested in training by their national teams as often or at all. And if they do, it’s often urine samples due to lower cost and less problems with storage (temperature, transport). An athlete whose sample got too warm or contaminated could rightfully claim that shouldn’t be held against him/her. So these athletes especially get tested when they attend major track meetings and the championships. And if you have a good system in the background, you can fairly easily avoid positive testing.
To use an example, while there was suspicion due to her incredible results Marion Jones never got positively tested for 6+ years. But according to documents from the Balco case and by her own admissions in court she had used PEDs before. Her own lab tests kept her blood profile “clean”, so she was always a step ahead of the drug tests.
And for a historical perspective: A highly talented and doped Marion Jones didn’t come near the times set by Florence Griffith Joyner et alumni from that period in history.
I don’t want to sound too negative since I love track and field, the emotions, the events. I just have quite some perspective on the sport and would much rather see it clean. I have seen more than one event that I went absolutely nuts about, only to find out later that one or more of the athletes cheated. Which just sucks.

It does suck.....
In total agreement with you.
I would like to see track and field move to something like the biological passport that was developed by the UCI and WADA for cycling. While it is not perfect, and needs more refinement, it is definitely a move in the right direction and is helping clear up a pretty messy sport (cycling). I have much more respect for WADA now that it is not headed by the publicity-hungry Dick Pound.
Speaking of FLo Jo, I gotta say….as much as I loved watching her run in Seoul (a beautiful woman running really, really fast), I have my suspicions about how clean she was….her times dropped too quickly, and she retired rather suddenly.

…and she died very young. And random drug testing was only introduced after her early retirement. The doubts about her records are extremely high.
Cycling did take a good step, and it needed to because e.g. in Germany the two main public stations refused to continue broadcasting the Tour de France, so it could only be seen in cable. And major sponsors of cycling teams pulled back their support. This year every athlete in the tour got tested 3 times randomly (statistically), which is significantly higher than in Berlin where all medal winners will be tested but not every athlete can be tested once.

Yes, obviously it's primarily a combo of PED's and technological improvements
I’m sure improved training is a factor also. At least as I understand it, more athletes are able to train year round now, and with the benefit of more sophisticated analysis of what works and what doesn’t. Still, being realistic, it’s mainly the PEDs and the technology.
The moment Ben Johnson went from an also-ran to beating Carl Lewis was the moment track changed forever. For that matter, baseball, basketball, and other ‘finesse’ sports changed that day as well. The myth that PEDs only help power athletes (weight lifters, shot putters, linemen, etc.) was shattered. At least for anyone who was paying attention.

I always learned that Naismith used a Peach Basket
I have the same feeling watching NBA Classic games: the older teams could not compete today. I think the 90’s and Jordan were exceptional, however, and harder to judge than other eras because of the physical play that was allowed then. It tweeked stats like spitballs or deadballs or mound height (or Balco) altered baseball stats.

Jordan would have been a magnificent player whenever he played
I would actually argue that the 90’s were the toughest era to play basketball so far. That Jordan mastered that period, when defenses regularly battered offensive players, only raises my estimation of him

Catch phrases aside, you never heard him overreact to a play that went against Portland or constantly note any disparity that wasn’t in Portland’s favor. You knew that when he described a play, you were hearing a fair, accurate representation of what was going on. You can’t ever trust MB or Wheels like that because their pro-Blazer comment settings are always at 11.

The screwdriver was part of the problem, since that caused a scratch/crack. Now I have to buy some plastic repair kit. And decided to just empty it and completely thaw the ice away.
There are freezers available that don’t ice anymore by circling air inside, but right now I don’t feel like buying one yet since that’s very expensive. Removing all ice to see how fast it rebuilds and cleansing/readjusting and potentially replacing the rubber isolation ring are the things I’ll try this month. I saw this week that my electrical consumption has gone up a lot from the last year, probably in large part due to the freezer icing more since there are not more electronics, we haven’t changed behavior and are home about the same amount of time plus/minus two weeks. I’ll also test if the meter really completely stops when I unplug everything, I saw a report about faulty ones a while ago. Oh well, electricity is still relatively cheap but why waste it.

I hope Bolt didn't/doesn't dope.
But I’m skeptical. It’s sad that in this day and age you can’t not wonder about it when records fall like they are.
Bolt was electric in that race. He got a perfect jump at the gun, took a few meters to get his momentum going, then turned on the afterburners with that long stride. Just amazing to watch.
It wasn’t even close. Tyson Gay couldn’t move his legs any faster, and yet Bolt made it look almost effortless.

His style is pretty funny. He turns the whole body side to side which traditionally was considered inefficient and runs with a straight upright upper body, doesn’t have very high lift but is about 6’4’’ to 6’5’’ so he still has a long stride, and makes very quick powerful steps. He reminds me a bit of Michael Johnson. He certainly has very strong natural physical abilities and technique. The doubt remains.
His start in that race was very good but not amazing, Asafa Powell had the better start and acceleration on the first 20-30 meters. Where Bolt is in a league of his own is sustaining top speed without cramping up. His face and whole body remains relaxed.

That is the scary thing about that run.
Bolt was not at his best. He could’ve gotten off to a better start and it looked to me like he let up in the last 5-10 meters since he knew Gay wasn’t going to catch him. This makes me thing a sub-9.5 time is gonna happen by the end of the London games at the very latest.

the think with Farve is
that people totally forget that he has a history of throwing interceptions at pretty much the worst possible times in the playoffs. I wouldn’t be surprised if he threw a ghastly pick in the 4th quarter of a playoff game that lead to the winning score for the other team.

I give that a 0.00000000000001% chance of happening.
The Vikings basically just became a .500 team. They still don’t have many great receivers and their defense definitely leaves something to be desired. I’d be surprised if they even won their division.

I think the Bears are going to win that division.
As whiny and petulant as Cutler can be at times, he’s got a cannon for an arm. There are similar issues there in Chicago in that they need more WR depth. Devin Hester alone won’t cut it. But their defense is solid and is easily the best in the NFC North, if not the entire NFC.
Not having to learn a new system helps some, but teams are going to make Favre throw effectively before they stop selling out to stop Peterson. Favre looked alright at times with the Jets, but he was never all that devastating.

The Bears' defense is not what it was a few years ago
They play the Cover 2 and can’t rush the passer, Mike Brown’s injuries are more predictable than Greg Oden’s. They’re in a similar boat with Green Bay. Both have potential to be very explosive offenses, and if the defenses can step up occasionally, I can see both winning 11 games.

Berrian isn't a surprise, he had a good season last year with Tavaris/Ferotte throwing to him
Brad Childress is also one of the 5 worst coaches in the NFL.
I’m not looking at the Vikings too objectively. I hate Favre and hope someone breaks his legs in his first game back at Lambeau. The Vikings have yet to prove they can run an imaginative offense, and Favre’s stint with the Jets doesn’t inspire much confidence.

The bears secondary is suspect. They’re basically running two SS. Mike Brown isn’t w/ the team anymore, though. The injury bug rests on Tommie Harris. But, yeah, when they played the bills on Sat they made all of their quarterbacks look like All Pros. If they can’t play Defense this year, they’ll lose a lot.

Forte's got a chance to be the best Bears RB since Neal Anderson.
The first year after a big year like that can be telling though. Cutler won’t be half as effective if Forte doesn’t duplicate his effort from last season. There’s no reason to think he won’t necessarily, but it’s a concern.
The top end talent on the Bears is very good across the board, but they’ve got very little depth.

yeah, it adds to the square footage, and presumable adds to the value of your house if you ever sold it… so it’s taxed… as for cost, I really don’t know off the top of my head ( I don’t normally do Sports facilities) but a rough guess would be $150 per S.F. at the cheap end with the sky being the limit to what you could spend

right, your garage doesn’t technically count as livable space because it isn’t heated/cooled (conditioned in architect speak) but it does add value to your home, and it is the value of your home that is taxed

Just 6'1" without shoes
Actually it was a happy surprise… for years I thought I was a shade under 6’1", but I measured my height and wingspan the other week and I was 6’1.75!" I grew at some point.
BAD THING was, though, was that my wingspan is only 6’2". Bayless can laugh at me.
The last time I measured during my good ol’ days, it was a 37 inch vertical. Good for a normal person, but not great. Some days were better than others, but my jumping was almost better flat footed than on the run since I jump off of two feet.

I am not totally sold on this as you are trying to exercise fast twitch muscles so just doing explosive exercises should be of great benefit with out trying to do any muscle isolation, which has been shown to be a bit of dubious, and sometimes injursome (I know it is not a word) concept.
Go buy some wood and make a few different height boxes and jump onto them as quickly as you can with both 1 and 2 footed jumps.

the weight training sounds good, but make sure you are doing low reps and looking to accelerate the weight, or you will be addressing slow twitch muscle rather than the fast twitch you want for getting a better vertical leap.

Google Ninja Warrior or Sasuke.
They’ve been doing this competition in Japan for about 10 years now. Some of the things they can do are simply unbelieveable. They show episodes pretty often on the G4 channel. Just recently, they have had American athletes pre-qualifying for the event to see how well they can do. The tournament before last, an American went the furthest of anyone.
It’s basically a four stage event all done in one day. 100 people start, some really trying, some just there for a laugh, and they go until the last person has been eliminated or until they have finished the final stage, which is basically a ladder and rope climb up a 75 foot tower that must be done in 45 seconds. The whole course has only been completed twice.

The French coach has cut Johan Petro and Edwin Jackson to bring his roster to 12 players
Jackson is 19, very inexperienced, but will be a national team player for sure. The coach prefers Mahinmi (Spurs) over Petro for his better mobility and defense.

I do too. I also have a world map replica etched in a silver plate that is totally wrong but looks beautiful. I also like this old rhino by Duehrer. It’s pretty unlikely he ever saw one (he lived around 1500), though it does look similar to the Indian Rhino that has horn plates like that on the back and he might have had detailed descriptions and sketches by explorers.

Here's a recent book of reprinted maps I got
I’ve thumbed through it at the bookstore before, but never got it. But when the Borders on the 3rd St Promenade was closing, and everything was dirt cheap, I went and got a bunch of books on exploration and other fun stuff. This book was only $2.50.
Generally, I prefer olde tymey maps done by explorers that have wrong borders, sea monsters, lots of ignorance and mystery. But this book was interesting and neat to look at.

My grandma did too
She rarely saw ‘em so it didn’t come up much but it was funny when it did. She didn’t mind Negros though, just Indians and Mexicans, so it’s okay.
She didn’t have a TV from the time my dad left home (1975 or so) till we got her one till about 1995. A week after we get one, we ask her how she likes it, and she goes “sure are a lot of Negros on TV now! They got them on the news and everything. And when did all the Negros start playing basketball?!”
We still say that last line in our family.
When one of my younger sisters was little, grandma said “negro” around her, and lil’ sis mistakenly thought that word was as bad as the real N-word and she got real quiet… and then slowly said “you know grandma… they call us crackers… I don’t think either word is nice”.
It was cute.

She would express her hatred
Of Mexicans and Indians to get out of jury duty mostly.
She was a big liberal other than those beliefs, and her husband was ultra conservative, and back in the day when you voted you could pull one lever to just vote down the party line on all elections, so their votes would just cancel the other out. But instead of just not voting, they didn’t trust the other to not sneak off and vote, so they’d go together and vote at the same time.
She also made me draw political cartoons of Reagan eating boogers and stuff.

Slightly related note… I walked past this minivan today on my way to get some caffeinated goodness.. the minivan was all painted up with anti-Obama slogans on the side…“he lied to us, his government isn’t transparent, you can’t read the bills, etc.” and on the back, it said something about the healthcare bill, and told you to read it for yourself and gave a page number and paragraph…
.

So here’s my question… if the Gov’t isn’t transparent and isn’t letting you read the bills, then how do you know to cite page and paragraph from the bill?

I think you would black market
how would you know the kidney you got wasn’t stolen from someone? Or worse, what about people being murdered for the express purpose of organ harvesting? Or less dramatically, do we really want people trying to make a few bucks by selling vital organs? What are the long term implications of a large increase in people who have given up organs? Are they going to need more intense medical care later in life?
Can you imagine the price of livers and hearts? The last thing we need to do is insert more costs into the medical world. Hospitals are already ridiculously expensive.

why did I delete half my title?
I think it would create a terrible black market
(even worse than the one that exists now)
The potential for exploitation is extreme while the potential for life saving is small. I have heard arguments that say fewer people would donate organs if there was a market. (If there is a market for it, why would I give up my kidney even for money….there must be other people selling). I have a great concern that too many people would be priced out of the market. If kidneys are going for 25,000 on the open market how many people could afford them? When a lot of people don’t know what their car insurance covers how can we expect people to know if their health insurance pays for new organs?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the '80 Lakers would indeed be a .500 + team today
In fact, they might contend for championships. True, they had fewer leap-out-of-the-building athletes. But if you watched the Olympics last year, you may have noticed that the mighty American “Redeem Team” very nearly lost to a team (Spain) that had ZERO leap-out-of-the-building athletes.
The hated ‘80 Lakers—and other elite teams from that era—did indeed have “all-around skill” to match today’s teams. E.g., they knew how to dribble, pass, set screens, read defenses, block out, etc. Pure athletic ability wins on the track every time, but basketball is another story.

I'm not going to say that's a bad offer
but c’mon
my 3rd round pick for your 7th round pick and then some filler in the late rounds….
I’ll send you a counter offer

okay then.
what about 34?

this is the thing
now that I’ve seen your list of picks, I don’t see an area that I can improve by trading away any of those 3 picks (24, 34, 37)
I’ve got consistent picks until the 50s and then I don’t want to pick up a pick later than that for the price of a 3rd or 4th rounder.
Unless you want to give me your 10th pick

I've been trying to get something to work with the 10th pick
but everything seems to be either wildly in my favor or wildly in yours….I don’t think this is going to work

cause it’s much cheaper and i can’t imagine the game being drastically different
by phillyduck23 on Aug 18, 2009 11:28 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
it was only 20 bucks for a new PC copy of 2k9. I’d get a used 2K9 right after 2k10 comes out. The price should drop.

Turkish star prospect Enes Kanter takes opposite road of Jeremy Tyler, comes to high school in US
The man billed as the next great big man out of Turkey after Okur “signed” with renowned Findlay College Prep, Nevada, instead of signing a contract with one of the major European teams hoping to make millions soon. He might even go to college in the US. It’s a weird world.

I just hated when Outlaw twittered that if he doesn't get 17 to 20 shots a game he will shoot Brandon in the face
Maybe it was out of context but it sounds bad.

You just didn’t like the fact that he used the word “drifter” and not the politically correct “hobo”
