From: Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 2:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: research and personal news Jeffrey our knee symmetry and running speed in Jamaicans paper is now due out shortly in PLoS One, a top journal, entirely on- line i have nailed town a commitment from the head of the Jamaican Track and Field Association to measure symmetry in 100 'elite' sprinters, split evenly between the sexes (if i could just figure out a way to measure buttocks symmetry at a polite distance--i would be all over it!) meanwhile i am putting together an international team of experts on measuring FA which will be headed up by a German friend of mine (Bernhard Fink) who has done a lot of excellent and by John Manning (co-author) on our paper as soon as the paper is out i will send you a link and a pdf meanwhile our paper showing that 2nd:4th digit ratio does not predict sprinting speed (as expected) but does capture the endurance component of running (for which we use the difference between a subject's times on the 90 and 180 meter runs as a proxy) also as expected--lower 2:4 better endurance in both sexes) on the personal side i suffered a torn retina, apparently initially high in the Alps in latelune, co-teaching some damn course for a week and have since had an eye operation to repair three large (and growing) tears alas i have to return to the hospital for two days later today because, although the retina is coming along just fine, i did manage to scrape the outer surface of my cornea, and they are afraid of a repeat scrape and/or secondary infection 'otherwise' i am fine and i hope you are too bob <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.O.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>date-last-viewed</key> <integer>0</integer> <key>date-received</key> <integer>1375196202</integer> <key>flags</key> <integer>8623750145</integer> <key>gmail-label-ids</key> <array> <integer>22</integer> EFTA_R1_00070018 EFTA01763621 <integer>2</integer> 2 EFTA_R1_00070019 EFTA01763622
