A new study shows that when surgeons do a series of warm up exercises before an operation, they perform better.
The researchers were looking for something more than just flexibility. Warming up, they said, appears not only to make surgeons more limber but also to provide “cognitive arousal.”
The study found that the exercises were useful for surgeons starting a new day and for those fatigued from being on call. They also found that the improvement seemed to carry over to surgical tasks different from those used in the warm-up.
At Toyota’s training center inside its Motomachi assembly complex here, workers use golf balls to limber up their fingers before they learn new tasks on the factory floor.
Ayumi Nakanishi for The New York Times
A manager, top, using golf balls to limber up his fingers at a plant in Toyota City, Japan.

QUOTATION OF THE DAY
"Forty years ago when I was out cowboying I never saw a soul. Now it’s at a point where you realize the public land is not yours, you’re just one of the users. And whether it’s A.T.V.’s, horses or climbers, it’s a traffic jam."
HEIDI REDD, who operates the Dugout Ranch near Durango, Colo.
".....史邁理最近才出個不大不小的糗。他請來美國民主黨總統候選人奧巴馬上節目。奧巴馬是黑人，雖然一度被看好，可惜後勁不繼，遠遠落在民主黨總統候選人第一名 希拉蕊柯林頓之後。史邁理當然是幫奧巴馬的，講到希拉蕊時竟然說：「希拉蕊沒有靈魂！」幸虧奧巴馬沒有接腔。史邁理這話一語雙關。美國黑人常互稱為靈魂兄 弟（soul brother），這就像基督徒常互稱為主內兄弟一樣。黑人喜歡吃的食物則稱為靈糧（soul food）。所以史邁理說希拉蕊沒有靈魂，一方面指她不是自己人，另一方面也是暗罵希拉蕊出賣自己的靈魂。因為大家都知道希拉蕊從前極力主張全民健保，現 在為了競選，得到保險公司巨款捐助，全民健保就不大提了。 ......"張系國
