Cho-Pat Dual Action Knee Strap - Size - Medium - 14 - 16

Cho-Pat Dual Action Knee Strap - Size - Medium - 14 - 16Dual Action Knee Strap

Cho-Pat's newly patented Dual Action Knee Strap provides an extra dimension of relief for painful and weakened knees.

The strap applies pressure upon the patellar tendon below the kneecap to stabilize and tighten up the kneecap mechanism, which improves patellar tracking and elevation and reduces patellar subluxation. It adds further strengthening to the kneecap mechanism by applying pressure on the tendon above the kneecap as well. This tends to reduce the forces of the quadriceps on the patella tendon and erosion of the undersurface of the kneecap due to a possible misalignment of the quadriceps (Q angle).

The device's design and construction apply constant dynamic forces to the surrounding areas of the knee reducing the likelihood of overuse syndromes. At the same time, the strap allows for full mobility while providing maximum benefits.

Play Their Hearts Out: A Coach, His Star Recruit, and the Youth Basketball Machine

Amazon Best Books of the Month, October 2010: Each year, millions of grammar school athletes swarm fields and courts armed with little more than an infectious love for their games. These endeavors represent the purity of sport, as kids are allowed to be kids and compete outside the demands of lucrative contracts and extensive media coverage. Yet sadly, as George Dohrmann's Play Their Hearts Out demonstrates, such a paradise is fading fast in today's corporate sports world. Dohrmann provides a first-hand account of the rise of a nine-year-old basketball phenom and the grassroots programs that both helped and hindered his dreams of superstardom. To call this story a cautionary tale is to sell it short, as Play Their Hearts Out is an unflinching look at the increasing need for hype in youth athletics. Fans of the brilliant Hoop Dreams documentary are advised to add this book to their cart immediately, as Dohrmann's masterful ability to remove himself from the plotline achieves an honesty that leaves any and all judgments to the reader. --Dave Callanan

Delphi MyFi XM2GO Portable XM Satellite Radio Receiver with Home / Car Kits

Amazon.com Review The biggest boost yet for satellite radiohas to be Delphi's radiant MyFi XM2GO portable satellite radio receiver and digital music player. The MyFi can record and play back up to 5 hours of XM's digital programming whenever and wherever you choose. It requires a subscription to XM satellite radio ($12.95/month), but just


Compact and easy, to use the MyFi offers 150 XM satellite channels.
about everything else you could want for home, outdoor, or car listening comes in the box. XM's 150 channels include 67 commercial-free music channels as well as premier news, sports, talk, traffic, and weather listings.

The MyFi comes with a densely packed carton of accessories, including everything from headphones and antennas to a remote control, belt clips, and separate docking apparatus for integrating the receiver with your home and car stereos.



Smaller than a PDA, the receiver exudes greatness even before you hear it: it's just heavy enough to seem solidly built yet light enough to merit the term "portable." The receiver even comes with world-class manuals, from its tips sheet to the longer quick-start guide to the 42-page user's manual (separate English and Spanish editions of each are provided).

An illuminated six-line LCD is your gateway to browsing XM's programming. You can browse by station, by category, or (our favorite) by currently playing artist. Thirty channel presets simplify access to your favorites, and a handy memo button stores artist and song data for up to 20 performances you'd like to look into later (or find again on XM).

Any satellite radio system requires a fairly heavy-duty antenna. Accordingly, the MyFi comes with four: one for the home (place it in a south-facing window), one for the car (mount it on the roof or trunk), a clip-on antenna for when you're hoofing it, and a built-in antenna. Our home reception was perfect--we never experienced a single drop out. Car reception was spottier, though still excellent. You just have to get used to the fact that where analog radio gets noisier in areas with poor reception, satellite radio drops out altogether; it's either all there, crystal clear, or all absent. And that's where My XM, MyFi's recording feature, comes in handy.



The MyFi mounts easily in most vehicles.

My XM lets you record XM programming to MyFi's onboard memory--perfect for time shifting your listening (as with a news program or a scheduled performance on XM Live) or for tuning in when you'll be someplace lacking XM reception (in a canyon, on a subway, in a windowless cubicle, etc.). You can schedule a recording or start and stop recording at any time you wish, and new recordings pick up where you last stopped. But you can't erase anything unless you clear the memory--which means you can't whittle away songs you don't like to retain your favorites. It's also important to remember that when you've filled the unit's memory (128 MB, or 5+ hours of full bitrate XM radio), it'll record over earlier material, starting from the top. During playback, however, My XM lets you skip easily from track to track and even pick from a list of all tracks.

You can configure the MyFi's LCD to scroll stock and sports-score tickers, a great way to keep an eye on important stats. The receiver also features a built-in sleep timer (15 minutes to 1 hour) and an alarm clock (wake to a beep or to XM programming).

What's in the Box

For car use, you have a choice of mounting options for the vehicle cradle: flush mount, vent mount, or swivel mount. The cradle houses a power jack for a DC vehicle power adapter (included), an antenna input, and an audio output for use with the provided cassette-shell audio adapter. You can use the cassette adapter or the MyFi's built-in wireless FM transmitter, which turns any FM radio into an XM radio. (Audio quality is better using the supplied cassette audio adapter, however. You may also purchase a wired FM adapter, though XM asserts that the cassette adapter sounds better than that, too.)



The Delphi XM MyFi comes complete with all of the accessories needed to enjoy XM anywhere.

Positioning the car antenna can be inelegant, despite its heavy-duty magnet. You can have it professionally installed or live with an exposed antenna cord, though XM recommends using "existing holes, body grommets, and other wiring channels" rather than closing a door over the cord on a daily basis. The receiver's battery pack proved good for about five hours between charges. The included earbud headphones are neither comfortable nor particularly well made; a nicer set would represent XM's strong sound quality. --Michael Mikesell

Pros:

  • Truly portable satellite-radio receiver
  • Simple setup
  • Includes a wealth of accessories
  • Excellent sound quality
  • Great reception indoors and out
  • Convenient five-hour recording mode
  • Lets you skip from song to song while playing recordings

# 15 on: 2010-11 Tennessee Basketball Preview

Overall rank: # 15Conference place: Southeastern Conference # 32009-10: 28-9, 11-5 postseason 2009-10: NCAA coach: Bruce Pearl (126-46 Tennessee, 443-130 in whole) after the start of the season, Tennessee will be able to put all the trouble around the coach Bruce Pearl set problems behind us and focus on playing basketball at least for a few weeks. These issues will come back and haunt the program come SEC play when a gem is suspended for the first eight games and perhaps even more significantly, but for now this is a very talented team that will sneak up on most of their competition. Despite losing 4 starters, there's a ton of talent that sat on the bench last year and a very nice group of newcomers who want great influence and take VOL's deep in the NCAA tournament.Lost keys:C. Wayne Chism, G Bobby Prince of labyrinth, j.p. (g), (f) Tyler Smith key newbies: Tobias Harris highlights group newcomers. 6-8, you can specify initial Freshman, wait for it since day one, if it can live advertising. It is a hard power forward who will do their work in the paint, but it also has a very nice touch on his jump shot, and will stretch the opposing defense. Frontcourt Gets additional help with John fields. Apprentice eventually Tennessee for his senior season after several other Division I stop, but he was willing to make the most of his shot at the big time. 6-9 forward was a beast on the glass, and his experience should go a long way. Jeronne Moses Maimon, transfers from Marquette, will have the right to add even more depth in the frontcourt, after the first semester. Defensive specialist and long range driving for Jordan McCrae threat and menace will battle Trae Golden moments around during his campaigns freshmen.Backcourt: Melvin Goins is the work of running and finding new go to scorers on the team. Goins is a lot of points on its own initiative, but it is capable of outside shooter and disable Defender. 5-11 Senior has extensive experience and is prepared to take on the job. Cameron Tatum would have to be new shooter on the team after spending most of last season, coming off the bench. Tatum is pretty much as pure shooter his collegiate career, but at 6-6, he is to attack the basket and will have to do a little more. At the same time, Scotty Hopson, you can get to the rim and use his 6-7 frame finish above the rim. Hopson dangerous outside shooter. It will be the main scoring threat, but with a little more consistency of his jump shot, Hopson has the skill to win the Conference of the year accolades. Add Josh bones and shooter Skylar McBee to the mix and it's deep and talented backcourt without Bobby labyrinth and j.p. Prince.Frontcourt: at power forward spot where begins the lineup is getting interesting. The Pearl of the coach has a ton of options. Steven Pearl is a good Defender and rebounder, but a bit small for four. Renaldo Woolridge and Kenny Hall will fight with beginners starting spot. Woolridge is more wing than power forward, but at 6-8, he certainly has the size to play just about anywhere. Junior strength or not and of course perform his piece on the glass. Room not dynamic athlete, but he's pretty Woolridge mobile player position 220 lb 6-8, who spends most of his time in the paint. Coach Perla will have a bevy of options and you can mix and match forward depending on competition and the hot hand.Who watch: staple in the frontcourt is 6-10 Center Brian Williams. Williams is a large body of bang around in the paint. It may not replace Wayne Chism performance in the scoring, but it isn't a bad internal threats. What will make Williams, as well as glass and Chism hit play solid defense. Until Williams can stay productive as interior scoring threat, it will be dynamic in the frontcourt, that it would be difficult to stop for most commands.Final forecast: it didn't take long for Tennessee climb from under the radar. With a set of claims to spin everyone is talking about the one way or another, but sooner or later the conversation will be about as good basketball team, Tennessee has right now. March coach his team might Perle marching back to the elite eight. Predictions post season tournament:NCAA forecast starting five: Melvin Goins, senior guard 5.3 ppgCameron Tatum, Jr., guard, 7 4 ppgScotty Hopson, Jr., guard, 12 2 ppgKenny Hall, sharp, forward 3.6 ppgBrian Williams, Senior Center, 5.6 PPG
