New Book Helps Athletes Move Past Performance Problems

Amherst, MA (PRWEB) September 07, 2011

This book introduces the concept of sports traumatic stress disorder, which the authors claim cause most significant performance problems for athletes. Sports traumas such as injuries, humiliation and failures keep athletes from achieving optimal potential. Case histories, including New York Mets catcher Mackey Sasser and a college pitcher, offer real-world evidence of their breakthrough theories. Athletes who sustain physical and psychological injuries unconsciously accumulate them over time until they reach a critical mass, eventually forming the invisible seeds for repetitive performance difficulties, the authors write.

"This is Your Brain on Sports" does more than just point out the issue. The authors unveil their Brainspotting Sports Performance System, which they say, quickly finds, releases and resolves the sports traumas athletes hold in their brain and body, leading to performance anxiety and blocks. Unlike traditional sports therapy, the authors recognize that athletes are vulnerable to physical and emotional trauma their problems are not necessarily under conscious control. Instead of treating troubled athletes with talk therapy, they use techniques that include eye position to find where the brain is holding the problem to release the traumas present effects. By processing past traumas, athletes can overcome them and return to peak performance.

Linux Author Releases New Guide and Video Showing How "sudo" Command Helps Ensure Secure Linux System Administration

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) November 09, 2011

Author of The Accidental Administrator: Linux Server Step-by-Step Configuration Guide Don R. Crawley recommends the use of sudo when administering a Linux or Unix system: Many beginning Linux and Unix admins make the mistake of logging on with the root account to administer their systems. An alternative is a tool called sudo. The sudo tool is similar to "runas" in Windows. It allows you to execute specific commands under root context without leaving your regular user profile or context.

Crawley today announced the availability of a new "how-to" guide, available for reprint, and companion video explaining the benefits of sudo and demonstrating how to configure and use the tool for secure system administration.

The learning approach used by the guide and video are consistent with Crawley's established teaching techniques of providing simple, easy-to-follow instructions for building a basic configuration. According to Crawley, "In my own experience as a systems administrator, I always wanted a simple, working configuration to start with. I knew that, if I had a working config for starters, I could figure out more complicated configs on my own. I just needed a place to start. That's the approach I take with my books, how-to guides, and videos."

The how-to guide, excerpted from Crawley's book "The Accidental Administrator: Linux Server Step-by-Step Configuration Guide" accompanies this release. The guide may be freely reprinted and distributed with a reference box including the name, website, phone and email of the author, please.

The companion video is available at http://youtu.be/imnEUvvDxc4

Austin, TX (PRWEB) August 10, 2009

CheapTweet, a Twitter-based deals search engine, is busy gearing up for the upcoming back-to-school season. Today marks one month out from the beginning of the school year and now is the time when parents are planning back-to-school budgets and searching for ways to get the best bang for their buck.

Compared to years past, consumers are faced with countless e-commerce channels when shopping for everything from backpacks and school supplies to classroom textbooks. At the same time, consumers are also tightening budgets as found in a recent Deloitte & Touche LLP survey. This year, sixty-four percent of consumers plan to spend less on back-to-school items; therefore, parents and students are turning to CheapTweet to cut through the clutter and find the most valuable back-to-school deals available online.

"CheapTweet's service is extremely helpful for consumers looking to save money shopping online and at local stores. A recent 'back-to-school' search on their site listed a variety of links to coupons and savings including an offer for $ 10 backpacks at The Children's Place & Target," said Gina Traversi, a CheapTweet user based in North Carolina. "In an economy where every penny counts, CheapTweet provides a wonderful service to help moms like me save money for back-to-school."

CheapTweet scans Twitter for the best deals, coupons and sales that people are tweeting about.
