Premiership Transfer Window Review - Part Two

David Walker continues his review of the January transfer window and how the moves will impact each teams success, or survival at the end of the 2005/06 season.

Everton
After spending the early part of the season facing a relegation battle the only reinforcements came in the form of Alan Stubbs, joining from Sunderland for his second spell at the club.

Two players have left the club Marcus Bent to Charlton and Per Kroldrup to Fiorentina. The Danish defender arrived in a 5 million switch from Udinese but returned to italy for substantially less after making just one league appearance.

At 10 points clear, Everton look safe from the drop but you may be tempted by the 33/1 relegation odds.

Fulham
Fulham are battling against relegation and have made five new signings. Goalkeepers Tony Warner and Antti Niemi joined from Cardiff and Southampton respectively while New Zealand international Simon Elliott arrived from Columbus Crew. Defender Wayne Bridge and midfielder Michael Brown joined from chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur on loan.

Without an away win all season, Fulhams strength and key to survival lies in their form at Craven Cottage. 26 of the 29 points accumulated have come from home wins and manager Chris Coleman will need to keep up this momentum. Fulham can be backed at 14/1 for relegation.

liverpool
Third in the table and a favourable draw in the Champions league has seen further recruits arrive at Anfield. Defender Jan Kromkamp arrived in a swap deal from Villarreal which saw Josemi return to Spain while Danish defender Daniel Agger cost 5.8 million from Brondby.

A host of fringe players left on loan deals but all transfers were eclipsed by the return of striker Robbie Fowler, five years after leaving Anfield. Fowler scored 120 goals in 236 premiership matches for the Reds previously and with Manchester United wobbling, liverpool could eclipse them in second position. They are three points behind in third but have two games in hand. Rafa Benitezs side can be backed at 6/5 to win the premiership in the without Chelsea market.

Manchester City
Following a blistering start to the season, City are sitting comfortably in tenth position. manager Stuart Pearce will not stand for half measures and has motivated his side into three wins out of their last four matches, including a 3-1 derby win over bitter rivals United.

Pearce has boosted the ranks with the 6 million signing of Greek striker Georgios Samaras from Heerenveen after allowing Robbie Fowler to rejoin liverpool and the loan capture of Espanyol midfielder Alberto Riera. Pearces managerial qualities have not gone unnoticed and he is quoted at 20/1 to succeed Sven Goran Eriksson as the next England boss.

Manchester United
The former premiership powerhouses have been exposed yet again this season as being nowhere near chelsea in terms of results, consistency and strength in depth. However, the Glaziers sanctioned the arrivals of Spartak moscow defender Nemanja Vidic Spartak for 7 million and 5.5 million signing Patrice Evra.

A dire spell in Europe has seen them with the Carling cup one of their only chances of silverware this season although Sir Alex Fergusons side are still 5/6 favourites for the premiership without Chelsea. Strike duo Ruud van Nistelrooy is 5/6 and Wayne Rooney 10/1 to top the premiership scoring charts.

Middlesbrough
One of the pre season outsiders for a top four position, Middlesbrough are now staring relegation square in the face. Boro have won just once in their last 10 premiership outings and that was away at rock bottom Sunderland.

No players arrived in January although Szilard Nemeth left for Strasbourg. One of the few bright spots, striker Yakubu, can be backed at 16/1 to top the premiership goalscoring chart while speculative punters may fancy the 13/2 on offer of relegation.

newcastle United
manager Graham Souness became the latest premiership managerial casualty after recently losing five of their last six league matches. With just 36 wins in his 83 matches in charge the club are hovering six points above the drop zone.

big money arrivals Michael Owen and Alberto Luque failied to ignite an expected charge for European football and former West Ham manager Glenn Roeder and Alan Shearer have taken over the reigns temporarily. Bolton manager Sam Allardyce is the 9/2 favourite to take over permanently and despite a poor run of form the Magpies remain 20/1 outsiders for relegation.

The third and final part of the review will look at transfers involving Portsmouth, Sunderland, Tottenham Hotspur, West Bromwich Albion, West Ham United and Wigan Athletic.

Golf Swing Traing Dust - How Does it Work

golf Swing Training Dust golf Dust works by spraying a spedcial powder on the hitting surface of your golf club. Then when you take a swing, you can tell exactly where the golf ball impacted the face of the golf club. Its a great golf impact indicator because you get immediate feedback and its very simple and easy to use. You can use golf dust on your woods or your irons, even on your putter.

How does Golf Dust training work to improve your golf training accuracy? Simple - Golf Dust will help your accuracy golf training because you can tell if you are actually hitting the golf ball exactly on the sweet spot. This is significant because hitting the sweet spot will give you maximum distance and accuracy.

We hear golf pros talking about the sweet spot all the time. What exactly is the sweet spot? The sweet spot is the area of the clubface that will deliver the maximum force through impact. It has to do with a law of physics that says force equals mass times acceleration. Use the force Luke.

When the golf club strikes the golf ball, there is some resistance that actually decelerates the clubface. Its actually a slight shock that you barely feel, unless of course you hit a fat shot and take a deep divot. Most of that shock is absorbed in the shaft.

Now back to creating accuracy and maximum force. The golf club is designed in such a way that a certain area of the clubface will absorb the maximum amount of shock. hitting the sweet spot means you lose the least amount of force because the club experiences the least deceleration possible. Again, force equals mass time acceleration. The more force you impart to the ball, the farther it will go.

Now lets say you hit the ball off the toe of the club - youll hit a weak shot that goes to the right. Youve lost power because when the club impacted the ball, the club actually twisted slightly in your hands and decelerated. You lost accuracy because the shock of impact caused that slight twist in your hands and caused the ball to go to the right.

Its simple to demonstrate how the sweet spot works - Get out a putter and try this:

Grab your putter and hold it up in the air between two fingers. Now tap it on the center of the putter blade youll see an indicator where the sweet spot is located.

When you tap the putter on the sweet spot, youll see how it absorbs the impact and bounces straight back. From every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Now try tapping the putter on either end of the putter face. See the difference? See how it wiggles? Did you notice how it didnt go back as far?

So how can Golf Dust translate to golf training accuracy and shooting lower golf scores? If you learn to consistently hit all your putts on the sweet spot, youll putt the ball in the hole more often. The ball will roll straighter and its easier to control the distance because youre impact force will always be the same.

Golf dust can help your putting because you can quickly tell if youre hitting the sweet spot or not. It youre hitting it off the toe, youll either be missing a lot of putts right and short or youll be overcompensating in your swing.

With Irons and Woods, the results of Golf Dust are even more dramatic. For example, if you spray golf dust on your driver, you can quickly tell if youre hitting the ball too high or too low on the clubface. This can let you know if you should raise or lower your tee for optimal impact.

Simply hitting the sweet spot with your driver can increase your distance by 10 25 yards. The more important thing is that it will help you hit more fairways and get closer to the pin with your iron shots.

Now as a Golf Training Aid Golf Dust wont necessarily help you have a better swing, it will just give you immediate feedback to what is the cause of your improper ball flight.

Can Golfdust cure your slice? Golf Dust wont necessarily fix your slice in golf but it might show you that the reason youre hitting the ball weak and to the right is because you tend to hit the golf ball toward the toe of the club. Youre problem might not actually be slicing the golf ball but your position and set up. You may need to stand closer to the ball.

Golf Dust is simply a golf impact indicator that will help you diagnose your golf swing problems. Its a great golf teaching aid for golf professionals who want to give their students a visual example of their swing faults.

You should also know that you cant use golf dust on your club in competition. The rules of golf prohibit you from doing anything to alter your club during a round.

Low Back Pain - Hip Flexion - Sartorius

Patients with lower back pain often have hip flexor tightness. The hip flexor that is very easy to locate is the sartorius due to its strap-like form stretching from the outer aspect of the hip to the medial aspect of the knee joint. This muscle allows us to sit in the taylor sit position or the lotus position.

The sartorius muscle flexes the hip as well as rolls the hip outward (external rotation). It is also a knee flexor.

To test this muscle, the patient places the heel of the tested side on the opposite knee. Patients with pain and tightness of the sartorius tend to have difficulty placing the heel on the opposite knee.

However, difficulty in performing this function also depends on presence of pain and spasm in the lower back muscles, hip extensor muscles, hip abductor and internal rotator muscles. Tightness and shortening of these muscles will produce difficulty performing this motion which is also called the FABERE testing (this is a combination of ability of the hip to flex, abduct and externally rotate).
