CCC Library wants your old games “The Library would like your assistance. Sometimes the students need a little break from their studies, so we have designated an area for puzzles and games to help them relax. As you start your spring cleaning, if you have any puzzles or games that you no longer use, would you consider donating them to the Library? Not only do the students use them, but when community users and employees take a break, they walk by and add a piece or two in the puzzle. Thank you for helping us to make the Library a friendly place to study and work.” —Sherry Kelsey

however, ominous new budget aside, is the search for a new permanent president. With the search well underway, the candidates have already been chosen for the job. The committee was held on March 6th to review each of the 12 candidates. The ones who pass the review will be interviewed, narrowing it down even further to just 3 or 4 candidates, to be submitted to the board of trustees -- your new possible president.

ADVANCES IN SPORTS MEDICINE
What is Cyrotherapy? By Dustin Albino, Sports Editor
By definition, cyrotherapy is the extreme cold in surgery or medical treatment. However, the treatment wasn’t all that big until 2011. Cyrotherapy is one of the new ways that athletes treat their body. In 2011, American sprinter Justin Gatlin showed up at the World Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Daegu, South Korea, with frostbite on his feet. This condition was painful — he told reporters that he had blisters on both heels — but it was also improbable, given that he’d developed the frostbite in Florida in August. But Mr. Gatlin had been sampling one of the newest, trendiest innovations in elite athlete training. He’d gone into a whole-body cryotherapy chamber, and his feet had frozen there. Whole-body cryotherapy is, essentially, ice baths taken to a new and otherworldly level, and it is drawing considerable attention among athletes, both elite and recreational. In the cryotherapy chambers, the ambient temperature is lowered to a numbing minus 110 Celsius or minus 166 Fahrenheit.
This seems to be like a bad treatment then right? Wrong. Athletes have always been noted with taking extreme cold ice baths after practices or even performances on their field of concentration. It is often noted with football players, which is why they have picked up on cyrotherapy. Cyrotherapy is like no other athletic treatment, it is extreme. Current star on the Real Madrid soccer team, Christiano Ronaldo recently purchased one of these ice chambers. And with two threeminute sessions a week he has taken his already incredible strength and fitness to another level. Ronaldo would sleep in the chamber and occasionally, allowing its revolutionary high-altitude conditions that would increase red blood cells meaning oxygen reached the muscles more quickly, delaying fatigue and speeding his post-match recovery. Now that cyrotherapy is out to the public, many athletes have used it to their advantage. It will be interesting to see on how it transforms in the next decade or so.
