I'm 99% sure this is the role that got Jeffrey Combs cast as Herbert West.

He frequently tells the story that a casting director approached him for the role after seeing him perform a similar character in a play. Based on the date of this article and the description and appearance of Jeffrey's character, this must be it.

PICK OF THE WEEK

PVT. WARS

James McClure's play about three men in a veterans' hospital receives a near- flawless production under John C. Fletcher's impeccable direction. Though the play's three characters are survivors of Vietnam, this story has nothing to say about that war, or even about the nature of man and his military, other than the vague sanctioning of an individual's right to fight "private wars" of conscience. Rather, the emphasis is upon one of theater's most enduring situations, the heterosexual male triangle. Woodruff Gately is a hick grunt who now spends his time putting together a radio while two other patients vie for his attention and loyalty: Silvio, an Italian-American emasculated by shrapnel, and Natwick, a prissy rich kid hated by everyone but the affable Gately. Silvio's main form of recreation is flashing his nonexistent genitals to the nurses; Natwick's grasping for poetry leads him to a pathetic evening of failed suicide attempts. Both men make Gately's task infinitely more difficult by secretly stealing pieces from his radio, partly to assert their "superiority" over him, partly to insure his stay at the hospital.

Originally written as a one-act, McClure has expanded - and somewhat overextended - his play to two acts, using a lot of blackouts that fail to tighten the dramatic thread as they progress. It's a simple script with a pat metaphor (the radio as Gately's attempt to construct order in a fragmented world), but with enough. sincerity and concern for its characters to overcome its deficiencies. Gregory Grove is touching without being sappy as Gately, Tony Campisi wonderfully vulnerable as the blustering Silvio, and Jeffery Combs is perfectly brittle as the unpopular prig Natwick. Together the three reveal moments that are both refreshingly sad and funny in their depiction of men whose overriding need is to be heard by other men. Zephyr Theater, 7456 Melrose Ave., W.

JAMES WEBB ESTUDA GALÁXIA LOCALIZADA A 25 BILHÕES DE ANOS-LUZ DE DISTÂNC...

Cupom com 12% de desconto: SPACE   Link: https://bit.ly/TechTShirtInsidereSpaceToday Astrônomos usando o telescópio mais poderoso já construído identificaram uma galáxia massiva e densamente compactada a 25 bilhões de anos-luz de distância. A galáxia - conhecida como GS-9209 - formou-se apenas 600 a 800 milhões de anos após o Big Bang e é a mais antiga de seu tipo encontrada até hoje, dizem os pesquisadores. Uma equipe liderada por pesquisadores de Edimburgo usou o Telescópio Espacial James Webb para revelar em detalhes as propriedades do GS-9209 pela primeira vez. Apesar de ser cerca de 10 vezes menor que a Via Láctea, o GS-9209 possui um número de estrelas semelhante ao da nossa própria galáxia. Eles têm uma massa combinada de cerca de 40 bilhões de vezes a do nosso Sol e foram formados rapidamente antes que a formação estelar em GS-9209 parasse, diz a equipe. GS-9209 é o exemplo mais antigo conhecido de uma galáxia que não forma mais estrelas – conhecida como uma galáxia quiescente. Quando a equipe o observou 1,25 bilhão de anos após o Big Bang, nenhuma estrela havia se formado na galáxia por cerca de meio bilhão de anos. A análise também mostra que GS-9209 contém um buraco negro supermassivo em seu centro que é cinco vezes maior do que os astrônomos podem prever em uma galáxia com esse número de estrelas. A descoberta pode explicar por que GS-9209 parou de formar novas estrelas, diz a equipe. O crescimento de buracos negros supermassivos libera enormes quantidades de radiação de alta energia, que pode aquecer e empurrar o gás para fora das galáxias. Isso pode ter causado a interrupção da formação de estrelas em GS-9209, pois as estrelas se formam quando nuvens de poeira e partículas de gás dentro das galáxias colapsam sob seu próprio peso. GS-9209 foi descoberto pela primeira vez em 2004 por Edimburgo Ph.D. estudante Karina Caputi, que era supervisionada na época pelos professores Jim Dunlop e Ross McLure na Escola de Física e Astronomia da Universidade. Caputi é agora professor na Universidade de Groningen, Holanda. "O Telescópio Espacial James Webb já demonstrou que as galáxias estavam ficando maiores e mais cedo do que jamais suspeitávamos durante o primeiro bilhão de anos da história cósmica. história do GS-9209, que conseguiu formar tantas estrelas quanto a nossa própria Via Láctea em apenas 800 milhões de anos após o Big Bang. O fato de também vermos um buraco negro muito massivo nesta galáxia foi uma grande surpresa e dá uma muito peso para a ideia de que esses buracos negros são o que interrompeu a formação de estrelas nas primeiras galáxias ", diz o Dr. Adam Carnall, da Escola de Física e Astronomia da Universidade de Edimburgo.

The Lively Set (1964) starring James Darren and Pamela Tiffin is a neglected piece of crap with plenty of hot rods, drag racing, 30-something actors playing teenagers, and killer soundtrack sounds.

It is basically a beach party movie in which the Pomona Speedway replaces the beach. 

Pamela Tiffin plays an insipid character, but is perfectly cast as a drag racer’s long-suffering girlfriend. The film was directed by Jack Arnold of Creature From the Black Lagoon fame. And it was written by the future writers of Dan August.

It also introduced the world to Boss Barracuda by the Surfaris. The surf vocal was co-written by Bobby Darin with Terry Melcher (Doris Day's son and the future producer of the Byrds). But the best song in the movie is a heavy instrumental called the Pomona Drags, featuring anonymous Wrecking Crew session players.

Powers Booth passes away at the age of 68 years old

It is Cult Faction’s sad duty to report that Powers Booth passed away at the age of 68 years old from natural causes on Sunday.

Boothe was born on 1st June 1948 on a farm in Snyder, Scurry County, Texas, and was the youngest of three boys. He was named after a friend of his father’s that was killed in World War II. He went onto…

The great Roger Corman produced this mini masterpiece of a monster movie in 1979 called Monster: humanoids from the deep. Truth be told the director was Barbara Peeters who was initially unhappy when Corman inserted scenes of nudity and some graphic scenes depicting the monsters as they started killing. Another fact is they only had one real functioning monster suit and 2 others that were filmed to look like they had more than 3. It’s the way Roger Corman cut corners that he was so famous for. And it worked. He got actors like Doug MClure, Ann Turkel, and Vic Morrow into the production when it had a different title. Again it worked. And with a great musical score by James Horner who went on to score big movies like titanic. So in 1996 Roger Corman remade this for the showtime series: Roger Corman presents. With Robert Carridine and Emma Samms.using most scenes from the 1979 original. Ok I have to say, Roger Corman is. Genius. He never lost a dime on any of his movies, well except for one film called the intruder starring William Shatner. About segregation in the south. Yes this great film with a message about racism and segregation was not a hit. But by all means was a great film. He later blamed William Shatner for the failure. For reasons unknown. But back to humanoids from the deep. The plot is simple. Small fishing town in California is opening a cannery. And there’s a scientific experiment gone wrong to make salmon bigger( sounds like GMO to me) but it turns out this causes mutations that begin killing the men, a young boy, and some dogs. But the women they have other ideas. The creature effects were done by Rob Bottin who also played the monster(s) because they couldn’t get anyone else to do it, Steve Johnson another great make up wiz also was credited for playing the monsters as well as doing the creature makeup. Humanoids from the deep became a cult classic that followed the success of Joe Dante’s Piranha 1978 also produced by Roger Corman. A long way from Cormans first .monster from the ocean floor 1954.

ALL STAR PARTY FOR LUCILLE BALL

December 9, 1984

Directed by Dick McDonough ~ Written by Paul Keyes

Lucille Ball (Honoree), Monty Hall (Host), Nelson Riddle and His Orchestra

Monty Hall was the honorary chairman of Variety Clubs International.  

Featuring Lucy's family: Gary Morton, Lucie Arnaz, and Desi Arnaz Jr..

Lucy's former (and future) guest-stars: Sid Caesar, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, John Ritter, as well as uncredited appearances by Barbara Eden, Eva Gabor, Bernie Kopell, Rich Little, Cesar Romero, Art Linkletter, Kirk Douglas, Bea Arthur, Ken Lane (Dean Martin's pianist), and Ricardo Montalban

Presenters and entertainers also include: Joan Collins, Cary Grant, Shelley Long, Carl Reiner, and Vicky McLure

Former Variety Clubs honorees in attendance: James Stewart, Burt Reynolds, and Frank Sinatra 

Also present at the party (all uncredited): Loni Anderson, Lloyd Bridges, James Caan, Sammy Cahn, Ted Danson, Barbara and Marvin Davis (Childhood Diabetes Foundation), Altovise Davis, Charles Durning, Farrah Fawcett, George Hamilton, Barbara Harris (Mrs. Cary Grant), Lisa Hartman, Ted Lange, Vicki Lawrence, Carol Lawrence, Michele Lee, Olympian Carl Lewis, Hal Linden, Karl Malden, Roddy McDowell, Gloria Hatrick McLean (Mrs. Jimmy Stewart), Donna Mills, Stefanie Powers, Barbara Sinatra, Joan Van Ark, Dick Van Patten, Dionne Warwick, Dennis Weaver, Raquel Welch, and Betty White.

Taped at Warner Brothers Studios on November 18, 1984 and aired on CBS on December 9, 1984. Due to the December air date, the room is decorated in poinsettias. Lucy makes her entrance holding a dozen long-stem roses. At Lucy's center table is her husband Gary Morton, Frank and Barbara Sinatra, Burt Reynolds and Loni Anderson, Jimmy and Gloria Stewart, Cary Grant and Barbara Harris.

Variety, the Children's Charity is an organization founded in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1927, when a group of eleven men involved in show business set up a social club which they named the Variety Club. On Christmas Eve 1928, a baby was left on the steps of the Sheridan Square Film Theatre. When efforts to trace the mother failed, the Variety Club named the child Catherine Variety Sheridan, after the club and the theatre on whose steps she was found, and undertook to fund the child's living expenses and education. Later the club decided to raise funds for other disadvantaged children. The discovery of the baby inspired the film Variety Girl (1947).

The program was the second highest rated show of the night with a 21.7 share, second only to its lead-in “Murder She Wrote” with a 22.3 share.  

Monty Hall says that this is the 9th annual Variety Club All-Star Party. Two years later, Lucille Ball hosted the 1986 event honoring Clint Eastwood. In 1982 she participated in the All-Star Party for Carol Burnett.

In an interview to promote the program, Lucy said that Lucie Arnaz wrote the lyrics to the “I Love Lucy” tribute song that she and Desi Jr. sang. But on the show, Burt Reynolds claims the special lyrics were by Sammy Cahn.  

Also in the interview, Lucy says she'd never do another series again. Two years later she changed her mind and agreed to do “Life With Lucy” for Aaron Spelling and ABC. She also says she'd like to do a drama about seniors being driven from their homes. It is likely that by November 1984 Lucy was already in talks to do her final film, TV's Stone Pillow, which would begin filming in April 1985 and air in November of that same year.

To kick off the event, the Nelson Riddle Orchestra plays “Hey Look Me Over” as Lucy's entrance music. Lucille Ball introduced the song in the 1960 Broadway musical Wildcat by Cy Coleman.

Joan Collins (TV's “Dynasty”) details Lucy's background and rise to fame; 76 films and over 500 television programs. She reminds Lucy that she auditioned for the role of Scarlet O'Hara in Gone With The Wind. In 1987 Collins was honored with her own All-Star Party.

Joan: “Not even Clark Gable could look into that face and say 'Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn’”.

Frank Sinatra sings “You Are the Sunshine of My Life” to Lucy, a 1973 song written and recorded by Stevie Wonder.

Sinatra says to Lucy “You're the best thing to happen to Adam's rib.” This causes a quizzical look to come over Lucy's face. Later in life, Sinatra was known for his occasional odd references and non-sequitur. He had been honored by Variety Clubs the previous year, 1983.

Cary Grant reads a letter from President Ronald Reagan. Reagan was honored with an All-Star Party the following year, 1985. When first addressing Ball, Grant says “Lucy, Lucy, Lucy,” imitating his falsely attributed quote “Judy, Judy, Judy.” Grant would also read a congratulatory telegram from President Reagan in 1986, when Clint Eastwood was honored.

Carl Reiner introduces and interviews Sid Caesar as (all the way from Germany) Professor Ludwig Von Blearyeyes, the world's most renowned viewer of Lucille Ball's television shows. The Professor describes his second favorite episode of “I Love Lucy” which is a crazy mash-up of parts of several episodes, including “Lucy Goes To The Hospital” (ILL S2;E16), “The Audition” (ILL S1;E16), and “Pioneer Women” (ILL S1;E25). The Professor then recounts the same episode in Italian, proving that Lucy is known all over the world. The description of the Professor's favorite episode sounds like the plot to King Kong.

John Ritter is introduced as a 'member of Lucy's mutual admiration society,' a fellow comedic actor on TV. Lucille Ball had hosted a two-part retrospective of Ritter's show “Three's Company” in 1982. Ritter would be Ball's first celebrity guest-star on “Life With Lucy” in 1986.

Ritter introduces Olympian Carl Lewis and Vicki McClure, a young woman from Los Angeles chosen to sing at the opening ceremonies of the 1984 Summer Olympics. McClure reprises the song she sang at the ceremonies, “Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand).” The song by Ashford and Simpson was the debut solo single of Motown singer Diana Ross, released in April 1970. McClure, a checkout girl at the Hughes Market in Canoga Park, was at first just the rehearsal stand-in for Ross but she was chosen for the real thing because as an unknown, she reflected the youthful image that organizers hoped to project for the games.

Shelley Long (TV's “Cheers”) admits that she never worked with Lucy, but admires her as a role model working mother. 

Long 'passes the baton' to Dean Martin, while the Nelson Riddle Orchestra plays his signature song “Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime,” a song written in 1947 by Sam Coslow. Martin sang it  in “Lucy Dates Dean Martin” (TLS S4;E21), as well as on "Lucy Gets Lucky," their 1975 special. Martin (with Ken Lane at the piano) sings “When You're Smiling” by Larry Shay, Mark Fisher and Joe Goodwin. He changes the lyrics to suit the occasion:

“When you're Lucy,  When you're Lucy, You're never off TV. When you're Lucy, That's all you see, You're own life constantly. On Channel 7, 5, 4, 9, 8 or 10, Wherever you turn, That's our Lucy again. When you're Lucy, When you're Lucy, You're never off of TV.”

Jimmy Stewart says that Lucy and Gary are celebrating their wedding anniversary. Stewart introduces Gary Morton, who presents Lucy with an Olympic-style medal for being a “gold medal wife.”

Sammy Davis Jr.'s first remarks incorporate references to the 1961 musical Stop the World – I Want To Get Off by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse. Davis starred in the 1978 Broadway revival of the show as well as the TV special “Sammy Stops the World” that same year. He then gives a heartfelt and emotion tribute to Lucy's world-wide and timeless appeal.  

Sammy: “Lucille Desiree Ball, daughter of Desiree and Henry Ball, who stopped the world and said 'I wanna get on' in Jamestown, New York. On an August the sixth, this world of ours took little note then, but will long, long remember.  Be proud, Lucy, of your legacy.  Very proud.  Be aware, as you sit here among your grateful friends, the sun never sets on Lucille Ball. All over this worried world tonight. Nations of untold millions are watching reruns they also watched the first time around. In Iran and Iraq on this very night, the fighting stops long enough for frightened people to laugh again as you hide the frozen meat in the furnace. In Finland after a long hard day at the factory, husbands and father are just settling down to watch the American girl they love the most get half bombed on her first TV commercial. And in Lebanon, ravished Lebanon, worried parents of many fates share a common experience, with innocent war-torn children, who tune in to forget the debris long enough to feed their hungry souls with laughter as you parade down the Champs Elysee in an outfit that drove the Paris designers to double aperitifs. Across the world in Singapore, Japan, whole families gather for a 'Lucy break' as laughter erases their problems watching you rehearse your trip to the hospital for television's first birth. And in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Columbia, Honduras, Guatemala, Peru, San Salvador, Venezuela, and other sunshine countries, laughter crosses friendly and unfriendly borders as you try to keep up with the chocolates on the assembly line. Yes, my dear friend, Lucy, you are the one they love most.”

The specific “I Love Lucy” episodes Davis is referring to (in order) are “The Freezer (ILL S1;E29); “Lucy Does a TV Commercial” (ILL S1;E30); “Lucy Gets a Paris Gown” (ILL S5;E20); “Lucy Goes to the Hospital” (ILL S2;E16); and “Job Switching” (ILL S2;E1).  Lucy later said that Davis wrote the above speech himself.

Monty Hall returns to tell Lucy that Variety Clubs International has added new facilities in children's hospitals dedicated to John Wayne (in Miami), Elizabeth Taylor (in New York City), Jimmy Stewart (in Minnesota), Ingrid Bergman (in Des Moines), Jack Lemmon (in Buffalo), Burt Reynolds (in Atlanta), Carol Burnett (in Los Angeles), and Frank Sinatra (in Seattle).  

Burt Reynolds recounts his first meeting Lucy, through an introduction by Lucie Arnaz. Lucie and Reynolds dated for a year and a half. Nelson Riddle and the Orchestra play the “I Love Lucy” theme by Eliot Daniel. Lucie and Desi Jr. then sing the song to their mother with special lyrics by Sammy Cahn. Ball struggles to hold back the tears. Lucie Arnaz is noticeably pregnant. She would give birth to her daughter, Katherine Luckinbill, on January 11, 1985.

To the strains of the title song from Mame, Lucy joins Monty Hall at the front of the room where he  informs her of the naming of a research library in her honor at the Barbara Davis Juvenile Diabetes Hospital in Denver, Colorado.

Lucille Ball thanks everyone for the tribute. She asks Mike Frankovich of Variety Clubs to stand and take a bow.

Lucy: “To everyone who said such wonderful things about me tonight, I just wish you were all under oath.”

At the very end, the entire crowd sings “Happy Anniversary” (to the tune of “Happy Birthday”) to Lucy and Gary, who were married on November 19, 1961.

Oops! Over the entrance music, Lucille Ball can be heard to greet Dionne Warwick saying “Hi Diane.” Did she think Warwick was Diahann Carroll?  When Lucy sees Eva, she just repeats over and over “A Gabor!  A Gabor!  A Gabor!” perhaps unsure if it is Eva or Zsa Zsa. Bear in mind that Ball did not know the guest list ahead of time. While the announcer reads off the guests stars for the opening credits, Lucy can be heard to say “I hope I remember the names.”

When Gary Morton puts the Olympic medal around Lucy's neck, she says “Turn it around!” Lucy wanted the front of the medal facing the camera. She then jokes that she is “always directing.”  

This Date in Lucy History –  December 9

"Don Juan and the Starlets" (ILL S4;E18) filmed on December 9, 1955

"Lucy and the Military Academy" (TLS S2;E10) aired December 9, 1963

"Guess Who Owes Lucy $23.50" (HL S1;E11) aired December 9, 1968

Transforming Mental Health - The Barwon Region Experience

REGISTER

We look to the sciences to tackle big problems, sometimes referred to as grand challenges. These big problems are complex to understand, involve many factors and invariably involve many participants to address. Mental illness is without question one of the grand challenges facing humankind. It is largely invisible, silent and devastating for individuals, families, friends and communities.

“There has been some progress, but stigma, discrimination and prejudice remain pervasive influences on the lives of people living with mental illness. As a community, we have struggled to understand mental illness and the varying ways people experience it. Some might say we have lacked the empathy to support people who are struggling.”

Interim Report, Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System, November 2019, p.1

Whilst the challenges of dealing with mental illness in Australia is daunting, the Barwon community is taking on this challenge with optimism and innovation.

Meet the Cast, pt. 3

The pilot episode for The Strange Case of Starship Iris is dropping next week! In the meantime, learn a little bit about the talented actors who are helping to bring the project to life.

Name: Cindy Chu

Role: Violet Liu

Prior acting experience:  I like to say I was born a performer. As a middle child of five, I'd help organize and perform improvised plays with my siblings, and did theatre and show choir all throughout high school. My favorite high school memories are of being in the comedy troupe, and playing the lead Elizabeth in James McLure's Laundry & Bourbon which we took to nationals. After that, I was involved with the Ann Arbor Civic Theatre performing as Queen Marie in Ionesco's Exit the King.

I also began my film career working on made in Michigan films like Drew Barrymore's Whip It, the remake of Red Dawn, Salvation Boulevard, and Love & Honor, amongst others, and some TV including Those Who Kill, New Girl, Game Shakers, & Rake, commercials for OnStar and Walmart, and several web series including Under the Table which you can stream on BitTorrent Bundle, and Happy Thoughts (upcoming). Currently I'm part of an indie improv team called Treasure Lake in Los Angeles, we all met through our improv classes at Upright Citizens Brigade aka UCB, and we perform all over LA at different comedy venues like the Pack Theater and the Clubhouse.

Hobbies when not recording for an experimental sci-fi podcast: I really enjoy hiking, reading, rock climbing, and photography. You can follow my adventures and photography on my Instagram accounts, @cindychu and @cindychuphoto

If you were actually a crew member on an interstellar ship, what do you think your role would be:  I have a lot of management background so I would probably be the co-captain, managing the doings within the ship, and keeping everything flowing smoothly.

Favorite planet (besides Earth): Mars because humans will be going there next, but I also love Saturn because of its ice rings.

Anything else to share: Please watch my web series Under the Table which I mentioned above, it's already finished and available for FREE from BitTorrent Bundle, and it's hilarious and a quick overall watch, running under 30 minutes for all 5 episodes. We're in talks for a season 2 that is in preplanning stages currently, with our talented writers/producers working on new material. If you like what we're doing, don't be shy to say hi on Twitter! I'm pretty active on there.

You can find me at all of these: IMDB  Website  Twitter  Facebook  Instagram

生酮飲食對於運動表現的影響

如同上一篇文章提到的，生酮飲食下的生理條件改變，並不支持肌肉的合成，但因為有足量的酮體、脂肪在供應能量，所以可以有效減緩傳統少吃節食法的「掉肌肉」現象(muscle sparing effect)； 那既然肌肉量不會減少，是否運動表現也可以維持呢？

在網路上最常看到的論述幾乎都指出，生酮飲食者的身體會逐漸適應成「燃燒脂肪及酮體為主要能量來源」的狀態，而這種能量此用模式可以讓身體避免所謂的「撞牆期」（因為根本不會有肝醣耗竭、需要切換到有氧能量系統的轉換時間）也就是說，身體不但擁有一個穩定的能量供應來源、運動強度可以維持不墜，外加全程高效率燃燒脂肪、沒有醣類導致乳酸的生成堆積也減少，聽起來也是相當合理的推論。

但是，生酮飲食真的有這麼神嗎？ 其實只要仔細一看，以上論述依舊是這些生酮飲食鼓吹者的「個人經驗」，從生理學的角度來看，生酮飲食對多數運動表現是會有負面影響的（僅在極少數狀況下可以持平或進步），除了頂尖的耐力型運動選手之外，很少有運動員能夠避免生酮飲食導致的運動能力下降。

而生酮飲食會降低運動表現的原因相當簡單，從最基礎的能量系統理論就可以解釋：

1. 肌肉中肝醣濃度的降低，導致在高強度運動時因無氧能量系統供能速度不夠快、表現因而下降。

2. 此外，肌肉中肝醣濃度降低通常還會伴隨著較慢的訓練後恢復速度，換句話說就是肌肉成長的速度也會下降。

也許你有發現，在上一篇關於生酮飲食與肌肉量的文章中，有介紹一篇針對八位體操運動員的研究，發現這些運動員在服用生酮飲食一個月後，體脂肪降低、而肌肉量與最大肌力皆不變，那這不就是「生酮飲食不會傷害運動表現」的最佳實證？

但請注意，這些是一個星期訓練至少三十小時的體操運動員，高訓練強度導致他們的蛋白質攝取量遠高於常人（約每公斤體重攝取 2.8 克），這樣的蛋白質攝取量是遠高於一般的生酮飲食的。而在生酮飲食下攝取較高比例的蛋白質，也已被證明可以有效保留住肌肉、所以力量不至於損失太多。

雖然在這八位頂尖運動員身上，生酮飲食不至於影響到他們的運動表現，但對訓練量、運動能力、飲食控制都不及這些運動員的一般人而言，這種狀況並不容易發生。在「高強度競技」的比賽之中，生酮飲食使用者還是會有比較明顯的劣勢。畢竟持續時間短、需要高爆發力的競技型運動，還是需要「能在最短時間內供應最多能量」的碳水化合物來支撐，燃燒酮體跟脂肪的身體，是很難跟正常飲食的身體擁有相同的能力的。

而對於耐力型的運動呢？生酮飲食似乎就較為可行，除了體脂肪的降低產生的優勢之外，在中低強度的長時間運動下，生酮飲食似乎可以幫助到運動員。

2014年的這篇研究，找來了八位至少有五年訓練經驗的單車運動員，每個人各使用生酮飲食跟一般飲食四周，採用crossover design （見下圖），並在四周後分別在各種不同強度下運動。學者發現：

1.在中等強度 (50%-70% VO2Max) 運動或者休息狀態下，生酮飲食組有著明顯較低的RER （因身體長期在酮症狀態下使用脂肪的效率會上升）、較低的乳酸濃度、較高的VO2（因為體重的下降導致VO2數據的其中一個分母變小），所以運動表現有機會更好。

2.但在高強度的運動中，生酮飲食者的最大輸出功率（絕對值）較一般飲食組顯著下降。

這個發現如果用實際例子來講的話，我們可以假設今天有一場持續五小時的單車賽，在比賽中間大家都在配速節省體力時，生酮飲食的運動員疲勞感較少；但在比賽一開始、還有最後的「衝刺」階段，會輸給正常飲食的運動員。

學者在這篇研究的Discussion中指出，長期的生酮飲食降低肌肉中儲存的肝醣量，而肝醣分解酵素的活性亦降低，很有可能是高強度運動表現下降的主因。各位聰明的讀者有沒有發現，這跟本文前半段提到的「用最基礎的能量系統理論就可以解釋生酮飲食為何會降低運動表現」是不謀而合呢？

那正常人在耐力運動時，額外補充酮體可以強化中低強度時的運動表現？ 如果透過外源性的補充可以幫助身體跳過飢餓/生酮飲食的步驟，而且還同時獲得「酮症」的相關好處，那會相當有趣。如果在耐力型運動中，額外攝取「酮體」的話，在中低強度時不就有另一種燃料可以燒，照理說應該會有更好的表現吧？

最近有一篇研究，將一群十六小時未進食的單車運動員分成兩組：醣類充足、並攝取額外的酮體vs只攝取醣類（攝取量會依不同運動員的體重做微調，573mg/每公斤體重），受試者會先攝取一半的量，用75% VO2 Max騎一小時後，再攝取另一半的量，之後再接著騎半小時。而這份研究也是採用Cross Over Design，在一個禮拜後，受試者會交換組別。

實驗結果發現，攝取醣類 + 酮體這組的運動表現，比僅攝取醣類的對照組來的好上 2%，血液中也有著較低的乳酸濃度、以及較高的脂肪與酮體。但這份研究能推論出的僅有結合酮體與醣類或許能強化耐力型運動員的表現，2% 對於頂尖運動員可能很重要，但對一般人來說可能就不會差太多。

另外，關於在正常飲食下額外攝取酮體的議題，雖然藉由外源性的補充可以直接提高血液內的酮體濃度，並不需要花時間讓身體進入酮症狀態，但因為目前的實驗幾乎都是做在老鼠身上，雖然部分老鼠在攝取酮體後有加速減重的效果，且棕色脂肪細��（可以想像成負責「燃燒」脂肪的一種脂肪細胞）的活性比實驗組來得高上不少；而其他相關的研究還包括了血糖調控、創傷性腦損傷癲癇等等也都因為額外增補的酮體而有所改善。

但可惜的是，除了本文提到的研究之外，目前幾乎沒有其他關於額外酮體增補的人體實驗，對於額外補充酮體的劑量、方式、時機等等也都未建立一套適用多數人的建議，更遑論有任何具體的結果，所以這邊我只能語帶保留，未來勢必需要更多的研究才行。

小結論

就科學家目前對酮症的了解、以及各種實驗結果來看，目前沒有證據顯示生酮飲食有助於運動表現、頂多持平。而在高強度、高爆發力的運動項目中，生酮飲食會降低運動表現。

User Review

Author:

Rating: 8/10 The concept of director Greg McLean and producer/writer James Gunn's THE BELKO EXPERIMENT won't seem overly original to those who've seen BATTLE ROYALE or really any movie in which people are forced to hunt or kill folks they know and like, but in Gunn's hands it's a whole lot more fun: office workers for a Bogota-based non-profit are trapped in their shiny office tower and told by a mysterious intercom voice that they've got to murder a certain number of their own before a pre-determined deadline or double that number will be killed via the company's "alternate method". To prove the seriousness of the situation, several employees' heads are suddenly ripped open by a mysterious force. After several attempts at teamwork to devise methods of contacting the outside world result in even more bodies as punishment, some of the (literally) more mercenary members of the management team decide that the voice sort of has a point, and set about liberating several handguns from a downstairs vault, not long after other sluggos have raided the cafeteria of its sharpest utensils.

Not surprisingly, Gunn's script establishes a firm balance between action, horror and organic comedy — bother Sean gets some of the biggest laughs as the corporation's resident stoner and conspiracy theorist, who leads his own little squadron of three for much of the film — and he and McLean have assembled a such a strong, fan-friendly cast of familiar heavies (Michael Rooker! Tony Goldwyn! Gregg Henry! John C. McGinley!), lesser-knowns and newcomers to play this likable, believable group of office drones that they're able to smartly subvert expectations on a number of occasions.

The body count is extremely high — most of them on screen — and the blood and gore is plentiful and extremely well-crafted, but it wisely isn't lingered on and there's no off-putting, drawn-out torture scenes to speak of. Mind you, a few of the most audience-pleasing kills are exceptionally squishy, so I could see this eventually hitting DVD and streaming in R and unrated versions. The TIFF audience saw the unrated version for sure last night, so plenty of cheers all around when some of the most devious players met their makers.

This is a great "what would you do" kind of show, and I'd imagine a lot of genre fans will get a huge kick out of it.

  The roundup:

WTF is this shit? The Phillies were 11-9 at one point. Since then, they are 4-17. It is almost difficult to be that putrid. Commenter barbecue g sums it up:

I have followed the Phillies faithfully since 1964. I’ve endured entire eras of bad teams and bad baseball. This is by far the worst. The Phillies lost 99-games in 1969 and finished below .400 in 1972. That is it for sub .400 since 1964 until 2015 came along. This team is certain for sub .400 and a 100 losses is probable. I can glean nothing positive about this team. No players to rally behind. No ypung plsyers with legitimate promise. There’s not even a hateful or incompetent GM or manager to root against. How pathetic is losing the rubber game of a series via shutout and claiming a moral victory because your starter pitched well? This team is not even worth the energy of a discussion. Why any sane person would spend a dime to watch them is beyond me. In a nutshell, they suck

I agree. The narrative coming out of the game is that Aaron Nola is not dead – great! – but this team is about as lifeless, useless and unintersting as I’ve ever seen a Philly sports team. Even the Sixers, during full tank, were at least worthy of discussion because they self-created a car wreck attempting to fleece insurance companies. The Phillies just, flat out, suck. I know they’re in this quasi-rebuild, but there’s little incentive to be this bad in baseball like there is in the NBA, and worse, you get the sense that they were at least trying to put a respectable team on the field this year. And worse, their pitchers have shown no improvement whatsoever. Vince Velasquez has regressed to the level Steve Nebraska in a parking garage. Just look at this:

from Corey Seidman

At least people are coming around on Bob McLure maybe being the worst pitching coach in the history of baseball, at least judging by the results. I had written about this in 2013 when the Phillies hired him and again in 2015, and now I’m ready to update it. As pitching coach for the Royals, Red Sox and Phillies, McLure, since 2006, he has only once had a staff with an ERA in the TOP 20 in baseball (16th in 2007 with the Royals). Last year, the Phillies had the 26th best staff in baseball, and this year they’re 28th. It blows my mind that he’s employed. HE HAS NEVER HAD A PITCHING STAFF IN THE TOP HALF OF BASEBALL! Sure, he hasn’t had much to work with, but there has been virtually no improvement. And indeed, high-talent guys like Velasquez have gotten worse.

  Marcus Hayes made poop today. I shall address it later.

  Jordan Matthews in the slot for Philly in 2017? http://pic.twitter.com/ZtqIIapeTY

— Pro Football Focus (@PFF) May 22, 2017

Dude, I’ve been telling you how good the Eagles receivers could be with Matthews playing at his natural slot position. He’s instantly among the league’s best.

  Of course, Peter King has them ranked 23rd in his power rankings:

So many things about this team I like right now, including the drafting of cornerback Sidney Jones in the second round though he’s coming off Achilles surgery in March, and no one knows if he’ll play this year or at what level. This franchise is being built for the long term, with smart two-year pieces like Chris Long plugging temp holes. On offense, Carson Wentz will have more help from a motivated Alshon Jeffery and deep threat Torrey Smith, and Wentz has to progress or the whole program is in trouble. The defense will miss Bennie Logan, and the secondary had better hope Schwartz’s front can bring some pressure; the corners can be attacked. But improvement from Wentz is the key.

That’s too low. They’re better than that. Though I’d be lying if I said I’m not beginning to feel like Howie is chasing wins this season.

Is there any doubt in anyone’s mind that the president and his wife don’t fuck, don’t sleep in the same bed and perhaps don’t even talk to each other? Have you ever seen a more miserable first lady in your life? Even Mary Todd managed to give Our American Cousin a passing grade when asked about the performance. I don’t blame Melania for being upset about being married to that orange goon, but she can’t even feign interest in him. You know what that means? Gonna have a White House sex scandal on our hands soon!

  LeBron James snipes at a reporter after Game 3 loss: "You only ask questions when we lose… You always come around when we lose, I swear." http://pic.twitter.com/QoIdcbK021

— Ben Golliver (@BenGolliver) May 22, 2017

This is why people give LeBron shit. The Cavs are 10-1 in the playoffs and in no danger of not advancing, and yet he’s got to get prickly with a reporter asking a mundane question. I appreciate how he gets his back up and allows this stuff to fuel him, but jeez, lighten up.

  Vinny Curry blamed his lackluster season on an MCL issue. I’m not gonna jump all over Vinny– he’s been really good to my second uncle or whatever, who’s his neighbor in Ocean City.

  The Union won again. I can’t even pretend to care about a medicore MLS team, but if there’s anyone whose take I’ll read, it’s Ryan Bright’s.

  Ryan Lawrence talked to Mike Trout, who continues to play hard to get and then texts us bathing suit selfies when we least expect them.

  Trout crushed the Mets.

  Joel Embiid and Dario Saric are up for rookie of the year.

  Andy Reid, LeSean McCoy, Fletcher Cox and former Eagles (and current Chiefs) trainer Rick Burkholder attened Jeremy Maclin’s wedding:

Of course Maclin invited the trainer. Of course. McCoy reportedly didn’t kick anyone’s ass at the event.

17 May 1917 diary of Dr J S Muir of Selkirk

Beautiful bright & very clear. Sharp E wind. Mrs McCall had good night & was very well. Saw her & Jean McDonald, Mrs M Gill & the Barkers & motored to Gala en route for Ed[inburgh] with Hiddleston to back up his appeal against being called up. We travelled together from Gala. The meeting was at 4 in the R.C.P. [?] our attempt was futile though I said we would be unable to carry on the work. I walked up by the castle to call for Graham but he was with the 3rd K.O.S.B. at Duddingston. Went to Young's and got ring & chain. Bought gold watch bangle for Helen: lunched at Ferguson & Forrest: called for Haig Ferguson*. Spent an hour at the Picture Ho[use] & after the meeting had tea with Eva McLure [and] came out by the 6 nothing wanted.

* James Haig Ferguson (1861-1934), medical practitioner, gynaecologist and obstetrician
