SWANNANOA, NC (AP/WECT) - State Sen. Martin Nesbitt, who this week stepped down as minority leader because of illness, has died. He was 67.
"The North Carolina Senate has lost one of its most experienced and dedicated leaders. Sen. Martin Nesbitt cared deeply about people and spent a lifetime fighting for what he believed would make North Carolina a better place. His passing leaves a deep void in our Senate family. I ask everyone to keep his loved ones in their prayers," said Senate Leader Phil Berger.
The North Carolina Democratic Party released this statement:
"We wish to express our sincere sympathy at the passing of the Honorable Martin Nesbitt. Our prayers are with his loved ones at this time for they have lost a husband, father and grandfather. The citizens of the State of North Carolina have lost a leader and champion of exemplary and distinguished public service. The poet Mary Lee Hall, in "Turn Again to Life", wrote: "If I should die and leave you here a while, be not like others sore undone, who keep long vigil by the silent dust. For my sake turn again to life and smile, nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do something to comfort other hearts than thine. Complete these dear unfinished tasks of mine and I perchance may therein comfort you."We, the fellow Democrats who worked with and supported Senator Nesbitt will continue to champion the causes for which he fought during his illustrious career and we will incorporate his spirit into the permanent fabric of the Democratic Party."

A Slice of Jamaica: The Toots and the Maytals at The State Theatre, 11/5/12 - A Review
Posted by Brittany Barth on 11/07 at 05:02 PM
Seeing the Toots and the Maytals perform at The State Theatre on Monday night happened by chance. During my first class last Thursday morning, my professor offered what would now be "two free tickets" to see the Toots and the Maytals perform as he could no longer go. "They play reggae music," he said. Instead of allowing him to elaborate further (which may have encouraged another one of my peers to snatch the tickets before I could) I piped up. "I'll go!"
And so the tickets were mine.
Prior to attending the concert, I did a bit of research into the band I would be experiencing on Monday night. Who is Toot exactly? Who are these Maytals and where did they come from?
The band originated in Jamaica in the 1960s, and began unleashing their "island sound" upon the world. The band has consisted of several members throughout the years, but the constant has always been the frontman, Frederick "Toots" Hibbert. The Toots and the Maytals have created numerous albums since their debut, with a whopping 57 albums available on iTunes.
This band is no "one hit wonder". And right here, in downtown State College, they proved why they've been able to be please fans for over five decades.
The State Theatre was packed with a mixed crowd of both younger and older people, and while the ages among the audience varied, we all shared the same energy. As soon as the light dimmed, the audience began to chant: "Toots! Toots! Toots!" in unison. After hearing the sea of voices call out to him, "Toots" appeared on stage, accompanied by his drummer, bassist, and two backup singers. He was donned in a red leather vest with white piping and pants to match. This is not a look that many can pull off, but one that "Toots" looked fierce in.
He slipped his guitar over his head and introduced himself with his song, "Reggae Got Soul" off of his 1991 album of the same name. There was an instantaneous reaction of head bobbing and foot tapping as the soulful sounds of Jamaica overcame the crowd. The original recording of the song is moderately paced throughout, but "Toots" began to quicken the rhythm as the end of the song approached, and his band members followed. The audience became even more energized, now aware of the kind of performance this reggae band was about to put on.
After "Reggae Got Soul" ended, "Toots" provided us with an anecdote about his experience recording his first songs in Jamaica. He told us of how his producer made a great deal of money from "Toots'" first album, and how "Toots" walked away with only a few shillings. This would be the first of many stories that "Toots" would regale us with throughout the night.
The band began their next song, "Pressure Drop" from the album Funky Kingston. The song maintains a pleasing and relaxing slow pace, and as I was listening to the song, I realized it was one that I had heard before. The song was featured in the film 50 First Dates and was also covered by various artists including the English rock band, The Clash.
After the song ended and the applause subsided, "Toots" provided us with some background as to why he created the song he was about to play: "This was a song I created [so that] people all over the world [would know that] I'm the one who invented the word reggae". It may be a bold statement to some, but the audience responded in agreement through whistles and applause. After performing "Do The Reggay" for his crowd, "Toots" certainly proved that if there is one thing he knows how to do, it's reggae.
As the concert went on, and the interaction between the audience and Toots and the Maytals increased, whole aisles of people began to engage in their own private dance parties, encouraging others to do the same. The whole theatre was filled with happiness, with love for this band, with excitement. These feelings were contagious, and I couldn't help but smile at the audience surrounding me, who came alive because of this music.
The band performed their song "Celia" for which "Toots" had another anecdote: "The words of this song are very important to me," he begins. "[Being] on tour for four years is a very long time…A beautiful girl took many things from my home…I wrote this song for her." From the list of items that Celia allegedly stole while Toots was away, it seems she took everything but the kitchen sink. He tells us the story in detail through the lyrics and we learn that the song is not only fun, but full of soul and full of truth.
After "Celia" concluded, "Toots" played several fan favorites including, "Sweet And Dandy", "True Love Is Hard To Find" and "Dilly Dally". He also performed two covers, "I've Got Dreams To Remember" by Otis Redding and "Country Roads" by John Denver.
Throughout the night, one audience member cried out numerous times for "Toots" to play, "Was My Number". "Toots" obliged, and closed the concert with the request.
Everyone in the theatre was on their feet, dancing with one another, laughing, enjoying the moment. This was one of the best concerts—one of the best experiences I've ever had, and it happened to me by chance.
I learned several things at the Toots and the Maytals concert on Monday night: that was some of the best reggae music I've ever heard, this is a band who knows how to put on a show and connect with their audience, but most importantly, great music - all music - brings people together.

Credit Island Lodge Recommendation
August 07, 2013
Three months after fire damaged the Credit Island Lodge, an advisory committee is ready to make its recommendations. Tonight it will present its findings to the Davenport city council.
One member is Robert Peppers, founder of the group, Friends of Credit Island. He says the committee recommends repairing the lodge, instead of demolition.
"The building is 80 % okay. A lot of people don't know that. You wouldn't bulldoze something that's 80 % okay, that was built in the 1920's"
He says the building is mostly made of concrete, and there's no way Davenport could build a new one for the money available. The advisory committee also recommends repairing the lodge so when the Mississippi River rises, it can just "flow" through the building, instead of trying to raise it or build a wall around it.
"The building's been flooded for 100 years. That building is built such that the river almost can't knock it down. The walls are so thick - if you were going to build a new building you wouldn't build walls that thick, you wouldn't build a foundation that heavy duty."
The budget for the project is 1.2 million dollars which is how much Davenport received from its insurance company for the Credit Island Lodge following the fire on May 2nd. Peppers says a consultant estimated it would cost as much as 5 million dollars to replace.
He also says it should be saved because so many public and private events are held there each year. One example is the "haunted island" held at Halloween, in addition to the many receptions and reunions.

Thank you again for everything!"
Mike Halligan
Assistant Director of Undergraduate Admission, Saint Leo University
"We've had some enrollment challenges at my institution recently, which is one of the main reasons I brought Dave Black in to conduct the SMART workshop with my staff to help them become recruiters. Besides being exceptionally engaging and interactive, Dave provided us with several pearls of wisdom about how to be more student focused in our recruiting and the importance of developing relationships with the students we work with. The best part is that many of the things he covered with us will be fairly easy to incorporate into our daily work with students and should pay huge dividends down the road.

References:The worst Violence ever done on American soil is not the horrendous bloodshed of close to six hundred thousand lives lost during the War Between the States. It was done by the U.S. Supreme Court who sentenced to death the most helpless and innocent of U.S. citizens. Since America, as a Christian nation in its origin, has drawn away from God; the violence and the senseless shedding of blood should not surprise us.
Series: The #1 Serial Killer in America?
"I want to see America free again! So, what do I do?"
This is an often asked but rarely answered question, that is, until now...
The answers to that question are in this book. Restoring America One County at a Time is an action manual for anyone concerned about liberty. But it's much more than just an action manual. It boldly represents the type of iconoclastic history lessons, biblical studies, moral challenges, unpopular truths and reformational remedies a restored Christian republic will require. This is a training manual designed to empower your whole education and worldview.

It is amazing what you can do with a good "line-of-sight" when drilling in legs and stretchers on chairs. Mark the height on the legs and the correct spots on the seats, and then just use your trained eye. You'll amaze yourself after a little practice.

TravelSmith Qwik-Dry Briefs 7 7
Sizes seem to run small. Items were much tighter than most clothes I buy at the same listed size. August 27, 2014
Best for all uses Great for exercise, wearing all day; you name it. Superb for travel as you can rinse them out at night and they'll be dry in the morning. July 10, 2014
Good value, good product We bought my husband several pair pricey quick dry briefs from another company before a long trip. We just got home, and he liked them fine. I saw your price was better, so I ordered three pair for my husband. He loves them and now wants to wear them all the time! Just ordered six more pair. August 8, 2014
Disappointed with this purchase When I ordered this item, I was under the impression that I was ordering an XOfficio product. Surprise! The fit runs tight; alternate materials are used for the side panels. I feel that this is an inferior product. If I didn't need it "right now", I would have returned it as "not as described". July 14, 2014
Great for travel Excellent fit, which is important. Great for travel as they wash out easily and they do dry overnight. Cuts down on what must be packed. Originally purchased pair two to try out. I have already ordered 4 more so he is set to go for a long trip! July 12, 2014
My husband loves these briefs and we have ordered several pair in assorted colors. July 12, 2014
So comfortable! I purchased these for my husband. He was thrilled with the fit and super soft, light weight fabric. They are perfect for golf and for travel. Easy to rinse-hand wash and wear again. July 8, 2014

i think about this topic alot... a few other effective/efficient ways to create a more soccer-like atmosphere in the arena:
-Use the jumbotron: all euro soccer fan groups have a leader to shout out instructions/songs etc.. the jumbotron could be used in the same way at the acc - for example: if a player gets hot his name can flash up on the screen (kind of like they have now with "D-Fence!"), "everybody jump" to get everyone in the arena to jump (looks great), flash up longer chants than just few syllables - some euro supporter group chants are full songs
-Eliminate the music: please please please stop with the music during play... it adds absolutely nothing and creates a Disney-like mood which is an atmosphere killer... possibly just leave the drum to serve as rhythm for chants
-Eliminate the circus surrounding the game: mascots, cheerleaders, stupid games during time outs... this is absolutely unnecessary... you are watching the best basketball players in the world, appreciate it! there is no need for anything else there to entertain you... focus on the basketball game
-More flags, especially like the big "We The North" one we had in the playoffs... should have those large flags for every big game and with different things drawn/written on them (not just "We The North")
-Banners - encourage fans to bring banners and hang them from the upper bowl terrace... it would look amazing if the entire upper bowl was covered in flags/banners... the banners can also indicate different parts of toronto/ontario that different fans come from
Just a few things off the top of my head, but i think these can be easily implemented and would significantly improve the atmosphere in the arena
For anyone that wants to see a good basketball atmosphere, youtube "partizan basketball fans" or "red star basketball fans"

First time buyers add £1.9 billion the economy
Around £270 million is generated through stamp
Alex Johnson
Alex Johnson has been part of The Independent's online team since 2007. He has been writing about microarchitecture on his internationally-acclaimed Shedworking blog since 2006 and is the author of Shedworking: The Alternative Workplace Revolution. His latest book is Bookshelf, published by Thames & Hudson.
Monday 22 April 2013
In addition to the money spent on actually buying the property, first time buyers also spend on average another£8,000, says a report by Lloyds TSB. Adding together stamp
duty, furnishings and moving costs, the total amount spent in 2012 was
£1.9 billion.
The report breaks this down into an average of around £3,000 in legal fees, valuation fees and other costs. Then spending on household items including white goods, curtains and carpets plus home improvements comes in at £5,000.
During 2012, it is also estimated that first-time buyers generated £270 million in revenue for the Exchequer through stamp duty.
Lloyds TSB also say that first-time buyers supported 500,000 home moves in 2012, and these 'second-steppers' typically spend more on the costs of moving than first-time buyers (around £9,000 on average).
Marc Page, Lloyds TSB Mortgage Director, said: "There can be no doubt that first-time buyers have a significant economic impact. However, it has been a difficult time to take that first step on the ladder with many struggling to raise the required deposit."
Earlier this month, Halifax estimated the annual cost of owning and running a home had risen by £179 over the last 12 months, to £9,590. Total annual costs of owning and running a home are highest in London at £12,094, 26 per cent above the UK average and 52 per cent higher than in Northern Ireland which has the lowest costs.

Hiei rescues Kuwabara and wants a prize. Shounen ai, kind of one sided HieiKuwabara One Shot
Summary: Hiei rescues Kuwabara and wants to claim a prize. One shot.
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of Yu Yu Hakusho, I'm just borrowing them.
NOTE: Domo Arigato to Katzztar for pointing out that I said 'telepathy' instead of 'telekinisis'.
Hiei growled with annoyance as he slashed through the pitifully weak demon guards. Kuwa-baka, as he called the only human on the team, had been captured by a very large group of these pathetic creatures to be used as a virgin sacrifice, and Koenma had sent the Jagan weilder to rescue him. And judging by the smug look on the prince of the dead's face, it was apparent that he knew all about Hiei's true feelings for Kazuma Kuwabara.
'Damn. Am I really that obvious, or did the fox slip?' he thought as he ran through the halls, trying to use his third eye to aid his search. Kurama had figured it out a few days ago and despite having sworn to secrecy he would constantly tease Hiei using his favorite strategy: small remarks here and there that mentioned the truth but only those who already knew would understand. Like he had at the Dark Tournament with Yukina. So it was entirely possible that at one point he'd gone a little too far and Koenma had picked up on the innuendos. And if that was true then how many of the others knew!
In all honesty the fire demon wasn't certain when the feelings had stopped being annoyance and dislike(for some reason he'd never been able to truly hate the human) and started being, whatever it was now. He'd felt a flicker of respect for his all be it idiotic bravery during their first mission together, the way he constantly refused help even when it seemed hopeless. Since then that respect had grown considerably, though he'd never show it lest the boys ego swell to an intolerable level. But just when did that respect blossom into an attraction?
Finally Hiei picked up Kuwabara's thoughts and emotions straight ahead, so he picked up the speed and used the telekinesis of his Jagan to throw open the doors. The sight that greeted him filled him with shock and rage. Kuwabara was lying in the middle of the floor tied spread eagled to four posts, naked save for a loincloth and gag, which was successfully muffling his attempts to yell and complain. A huge ram like demon in armor and robes was standing over him weilding an enormous double sided axe over his head, obviously seconds away from bringing it down. Hiei didn't waste a second and immeadiatley rushed forward with his katana. He sliced the ropes that held the human down, hacked away at the demon priest, then grabbed Kuwabara and exited, all in the blink of an eye.
Soon they were at Kuwabara's bedroom window, thankfully unlocked. Hiei pushed it open, Kuwabara draped over his shoulder, and slipped inside. The fire demon set him on his feet next to the bed and watched as the red head sat down with a sigh, pulling the gag out of his mouth.
"Thanks shorty, boy was that close!" he exclaimed. Hiei grunted and stared at him. Now that he was out of danger and they were alone, Hiei could fully appreciate the sight of the human wearing nothing but a large scrap of leather over his nether regions. Kuwabara felt something strange like a chill going down his spine, but he assumed it was just a draft caused by his lack of clothes. He stood up again, one hand firmly holding down the cloth. Another, much stronger, chill came and he shivered visibly.
"Shizuru must have the air conditioner on, I'm gonna go put some clothes on so go ahead and let yourself ou-OOF!" Suddenly Hiei tackled him and the two fell against the bed. Kuwabara blushed and looked into the blood red eyes staring down at him intensly.
"Uh, shorty, what are you doing?" he asked.
"Aren't you forgetting something, ningen?" Hiei purred, their faces less than half an inch away from touching.
"W-what do you m-mean." Kuwabara stammered. Hiei leaned in even closer.
"The hero always gets a kiss after rescueing the damsel in distress." the fire demon cooed right before closing the distance completly and pressed their lips together in a quick kiss, then disappeared. Kuwabara was left lying on the bed in shock, staring up at the ceiling, still wearing the loin cloth. He snapped out of it after a minute and blinked, then shot up and ran over to the window, his blush returned at full force. It was still open though, so when the wind blew he received a shock of cold air that reminded him all too well of his nearly undressed state. Kuwabara quickly slammed the window shut and ran to the closet for his clothes.
"Well it's about time!" Botan cheered as she watched the kiss with George and Kurama using Koenma's video screen.
"It would have been a lot longer if he'd taken as long to make a move as he did admitting it to himself." George stated with a nod.
Kurama simply closed his eyes and chuckled. He was glad that his recluse friend was finally starting to open up, and also highly amused at Hiei's comment prior to the kiss.
'I'd better inform Hiei that Kuwabara-kun may not have appreciated being referred to as a damsel.' he thought, then grinned mischeviously. 'After asking exactly where he learned about heros and damsels.'
That was short, that was lame, not even close to being my best work, and in the odd chance that anyone did enjoy it they're going to come after me with a hose for making it a one-shot! I just can't win! T-T As for Hiei's logic about hero's getting a kiss from the damsel in distress, that was partially inspired by Robin Hood and Maid Marrions 'kiss to the winner' thing.sweatdrop
Title explanation: Role Reversal because I didn't feel like using the Japanese word, and because Kuwabara always considers himself the stereotypical hero who will save damsels in distress. But now the roles have been reversed and he was the damsel! Get it? It was funnier in my head.t-t
Please please please review, people! At least tell me you got a laugh out of it, or something!

As of Monday, October 10, 2011
© Copyright 2014 Newton Citizen
We celebrated the Feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel and Augustine was the celebrant of the Mass. The feast was July 16. He gave a good homily, starting off by telling us how he grew up in the Southside of Chicago and was baptized in Our Lady of Mt. Carmel parish.
He remembered the feasts, and spoke about the processions on the streets of his neighborhood, tying it in with a link to the Vatican Council document on the liturgy, which stated that the liturgy should reflect, be in conversation with, human life. I liked what he said -- the phrase "street liturgy" appealed to me. I suppose I experienced a lot of that myself in the last parish to which I was assigned, prior to my entering the monastery.
The name of that parish was also Our Lady of Mount Carmel and the parish celebrated accordingly on its feast day. As I remember, there were several other feasts. There was the feast of Saint Sebastian and Saint Vito. More recently, friends from the parish have told be that there has been inaugurated a feast of Saint Donato.
Different societies in the parish were responsible for the parades and the food booths on the respective feast days. I used to enjoy watching the statue of Our Lady being slowly carried by the men of the society.
It moved slowly up the street and it was the custom to pin money on the statue. People lined the streets and looked out the windows. Kids ran up to the statue and walked along side it. On the feast of Saint Sebastian, the celebratory Mass was always said by a much loved Sicilian priest who came in from a parish from a considerable distance away. His name was Sylvester Livolsi. When he preached, he did so in Italian and had a way of stirring the waters among the faithful. I could not understand a word of what he said, but it must have been powerful.
There were tears, looks of awe, bowed heads. After the sermon, he continued with the Mass and at the consecration, a man at the door of the church gave a signal and fireworks were set off in the street. I suppose it was a sign of the arrival of the real presence, not unlike the function of the ancient custom of ringing the altar bells at that time.
Times may have changed. A lot of the old Italians have died off and not many have picked up where they left off. I think there are still feasts, but the numbers have dwindled. People these days are used to other forms of devotion, other ways of walking with God.
One thing, though, has remained. Food.
People like to eat. And you cannot beat good Italian food. I cannot spell most of the Italian delicacies, but when I was in Mt. Carmel I understood how good cooking was pretty close to something divine. If Jesus gave himself as food in the best of earthly and divine repasts, I am sure he wouldn't mind if a bit of garlic and pasta are also on the menu.
These days, you need permits for so many things. Parades, parking, fireworks, public gatherings, on and on.
Liturgies are permit-free.
Liturgy should reflect life. Indeed, I think it always does reflect life in its most earthy manifestations. The Italians in my hometown and in the Southside of Chicago knew how to celebrate God's presence through food, a parade, wine and generosity. I felt good listening to Augustine this morning as I thought back on some good memories. His words helped me make some connections with my past. Good liturgy does that, too. It is all about making connections.
Customs change and parades may come to a rest. But share food we must, and along with it the loving presence of God. So ... salute. Salute to the good old days and the feasts yet to come.

World's largest hosting software company with 30 thousand servers deployed to support 3 million businesses worldwide, targeting over $3.8 billion market with integrated products and global support and services
HERNDON, Va., June 9, 2003 – SWsoft, a leader in hosting automation and enterprise server software, today announced it has acquired Plesk, Inc. and Yippi-Yeah! E-Business, GmbH (Confixx software developer), two of the world's largest providers of software to the hosting industry. The acquisition makes SWsoft the leader with over 30 thousand servers deployed to support the three million businesses currently using the combined companies' hosting products that manage corporate web sites, email servers, and file servers. The products include Plesk Server Administrator (PSA) control panels, Confixx control panels, Virtuozzo virtual private servers and HSPcomplete hosting automation solutions.
The union creates a global software powerhouse with over 3,000 major hosting provider customers in over 100 countries, including 8 of the top 10 US providers and 3 of the top 5 European providers. The hosting providers serve as sales channels and support more than 3 million business in their Internet use. Hosting companies providing these solutions include Interland, Affinity, Catalog.com, CI Host, Datapipe, DellHost, Rackshack, Rackspace, intergenia (Server4Free/PlusServer) and 1 & 1 Internet.
Plesk, Inc., based in the US telecommunications hub of Herndon, VA, and best known for its market leading Plesk Server Administrator (PSA), will expand its offices to accomodate the new global corporate headquarters. Yippi-Yeah E-Business, GmbH, based in Bremen, Germany and developers of the most popular hosting software in Europe, will serve as the European headquarters, as SWsoft Europe. SWsoft, the leader in hosting automation and OS virtualization will convert its current San Francisco offices into the company's US west coast sales and services branch.
"Of the $9.1 billion US hosting market in 2003, the mass market segment served by solutions from Plesk, Confixx and SWsoft we estimate to be about $3.8 billion," said Joshua Beil, vice president of Tier 1 Research, a leading industry analyst firm covering the Internet infrastructure market. "We see this acquisition establishing SWsoft as the leader in providing hosting software solutions, in terms of total number of control panel licenses."
"This is a big win for our customers. We've now got the best team in the industry to provide support and services globally," said SWsoft CEO and founder Serguei Beloussov. "Our customers can be confident in getting long-term service and support across the most complete product line in the hosting software market."
"There is a great deal of synergy between these two firms. Plesk's expertise in hosting automation software coupled with SWsoft's Virtual Private Server expertise brings compelling value to both hosting providers and to our customers," said John Lally, director of product management for Interland, the leading provider of Web hosting and online services for small and medium businesses.
With the acquisition, Plesk CEO Dmitri Simonenko will assume the new role of executive vice president of SWsoft, leading the company's worldwide operations, sales and marketing. "With Plesk and Yippi-Yeah!, SWsoft becomes a true global leader with the most complete and integrated product line," stated Simonenko. "SWsoft's HSPcomplete hosting automation solution already integrates PSA and Confixx Professional under a single framework. Yippi-Yeah! resellers and partners across Europe and Plesk partners throughout the rest of the world already sell SWsoft products."
The SWsoft product family will now include:
"We see this as an excellent opportunity to provide the best hosting automation products available to our customers," said Oliver Brandl, CEO of Yippi-Yeah! E-Business GmbH, "This acquisition allows our customers to receive additional products, faster and with many more features, as well as being able to provide customers with a complete solution under one roof with PSA, Virtuozzo and Confixx."
SWsoft will also use its stronghold in the hosting automation and hosting data center virtualization space to expand into enterprise data center market, with Virtuozzo for server consolidation and PEM for corporate datacenter automation for both Linux and Windows servers.

"Market participants should not direct policy," Kansas City Fed President Thomas Hoenig warned listeners at a town hall meeting in Lincoln, Nebraska, back in August. Unfortunately that is precisely what is now happening.
Hoenig noted that Wall Street's clamour for cheap money was not disinterested: "Of course the market wants zero rates to continue indefinitely … they are earning a guaranteed return on free money from the Fed by lending it back to the government through securities purchases."
Now the same pressure groups want the Fed to launch a second round of asset purchases so they can sell U.S. Treasury bonds to the central bank (in effect back to the federal government) at inflated prices.
A new round of securities purchases provides investors with an exit strategy from what might otherwise be a dangerous bubble in the bond market. Every bubble needs a "greater fool" prepared to pay a higher price for the asset to keep the bubble inflating. In this case, the guaranteed sucker is the Fed itself.
Meanwhile quantitative easing (QE) has pushed up the value of all the risk assets institutions and investors hold, giving the market a highly desirable insurance policy.

How To Treat Polysyndactyly And Syndactyly Of The Foot
- Volume 26 - Issue 1 - January 2013
- 16663 reads
- 0 comments
Fibular polydactyly can present some difficult surgical planning issues and treatment is influenced by the anatomy of the fifth metatarsal. In most cases, the lateral segment will be the one surgeons choose for deletion. If the fifth metatarsal head is large transversely after deletion of the lateral segment, the head will need debulking and narrowing.
The concern here is damage to the physis of the fifth metatarsal located distally. With careful resection, the physis will probably continue to function normally. The possibility of lateral growth arrest with subsequent lateral deviation of the fifth toe is a real possibility. If the fifth metatarsal is Y-shaped, the medial portion may be adducted in relation to the proximal segment and its shaft components may be somewhat diminutive.
There could also be some sagittal plane malpositioning with unacceptable plantarflexion or dorsiflexion. Resecting the lateral portion leaves a substantial amount of lateral cortical deficiency and makes additional corrective osteotomy at the same time somewhat risky since the osteotomy will occur near the "watershed" area of the metatarsal shaft. Fixation is difficult because of the loss of substantial lateral cortex and the possibility of delayed union or nonunion is very real because of its location in the shaft.
When Skin Grafting Is Necessary
In the separation of digital syndactyly and repair of the various forms of polydactyly, the surgeon must be prepared to perform a skin graft. There is usually enough skin to design a flap to cover one side of one of the toes but the adjacent side of the other toe will require a full thickness skin graft. Skin over the dorsolateral aspect of the sinus tarsi or the lateral ankle just anterior to the tendo-Achilles is a good cosmetic match. The groin is a good site as well but harvesting should happen in an area sufficiently lateral of midline so there is little risk of transplanting pubic hairs.
Researchers have described many separation techniques that use multiple flaps plus a skin graft.29-31 Authors have described a technique for repair of polysyndactyly without the need for skin grafting.32,33 There are several reports in the literature describing the technique of allowing the exposed surface of the toe to granulate in.34,35
In repairs that need skin grafting, a major concern is loss of the graft. This may occur because of excessive movement of the parts, the development of a hematoma or seroma under the graft, or failure to prepare the graft by appropriate debridement of all of the subcutaneous fat. It is advantageous to immobilize the part for several weeks in order to allow for vascularization of the graft. This can be very difficult in young children who are incapable of following postoperative protocol because of their age. Immobilization in a cast to minimize or prevent weightbearing is helpful. It is also helpful to operate when the patient is at an age when immobilization can be easily secured (perhaps before the patient begins ambulating or when the child is old enough to appreciate the gravity of the situation and is capable of cooperation).
On rare occasions, keloid formation may occur. This is very difficult to manage.36-38 A possible solution is the use of methotrexate to minimize scar formation.39

Charles Kelly thought he was recruiting. In fact, he was interviewing for his job.
In the weeks after Paul Johnson was hired to replace Chan Gailey as coach of Georgia Tech in Dec. 2007, Gailey's assistants stayed on to coach in the bowl game. Their futures at Tech were, at best, uncertain. In some cases, their commitment to keep recruiting reflected that.
Kelly, then Tech's special-teams coordinator, kept up with phone calls and accompanied Johnson on home visits. After one visit, Johnson told Kelly that he wanted to be up front with him that he wasn't necessarily going to be retained.
"And I will never forget," Johnson said. "He told me, he said, 'My dad taught me a long time ago, if you're taking a man's money, then you should work. I'm still taking their money, so I should work.'"
Kelly's actions and response helped secure himself a spot on Johnson's staff. Through his continued work, he has earned an opportunity to make the best of a bad situation and perhaps advance his career. For the remainder of the season, Kelly will serve as Tech's interim defensive coordinator in the place of Al Groh, fired Monday.
"I'm going to do the job as hard as I can," said Kelly, who grew up in Ozark, Ala., the son of a high school football coach.
Kelly, who comes across as earnest and team-oriented, assumes leadership of a listing ship. Tech has lost its past three games and given up 42, 49 and 47 points, becoming the first Tech team ever to allow 40 or more points in three consecutive games. Out of 120 FBS teams, the Yellow Jackets are ranked 89th in the country in scoring defense (30.2 points per game), 90th in total defense (431.0 yards per game) and 103rd in defensive third-down conversion percentage (47.8 percent).
His answer is to reduce the scheme, put players in position to succeed and practice with energy.
"The biggest thing we've tried to instill is, Hey, listen: What you do on Saturday are the habits that you develop during the week," Kelly said.
The Jackets also figure to tweak the 3-4 scheme to a style more suited to the players' s strengths and use more players than Groh had. Coaches also plan to run more full-speed drills to sharpen players' tackling, a weak spot. Kelly, who has been a defensive coordinator at the FCS level at Nicholls State and Jacksonville State, will rely on the input of fellow defensive assistants Andy McCollum, Joe Speed and David Walkosky, the special-teams coordinator who is taking on the defensive line.
"He's got us involved and we're committed to him," Walkosky said. "It's really a 'we' thing."
Kelly, 45, has made the work ethic he learned from his father Lavon and from Auburn coaching great Pat Dye, whom Kelly played for as a walk-on, a point of emphasis with his players.
"He made me a better player by never letting me get comfortable, always pushing me to do better," former safety Rashaad Reid said.
Mario Butler, who played cornerback for Kelly and is on the Dallas Cowboys practice squad, said that besides insufficient effort, mental mistakes also drive Kelly up a wall.
"It wasn't really nice, I can say that," said Butler, asked how Kelly reacted to mental errors.
An intolerance for not executing assignments properly – and better yet, a method for avoiding them altogether – would do the Jackets well. Under Groh, players repeatedly lined up out of position and were unable to run the defense correctly. In last Saturday's 47-31 loss to Clemson, Groh's last, Johnson said he thought there were 47 missed assignments. Under Kelly's direction, Tech will simplify its scheme to keep players from being slowed by having to think through their assignments.
Kelly's players swear by him, not only for his coaching ability but for how he has developed relationships with them away from the game.
"I think he'll do a great job," Butler said. "I think the guys are going to respond well and play hard for him."
Kelly will have the opportunity to win the full-time job, though, once again, there are no guarantees. And, like the last time, the only angle Kelly is playing is the one his father taught him.
"Honestly, what I've tried to do is focus on Georgia Tech and those players," he said. "I think if you work and do your job, do everything you can, work as hard as you can, I can live with the results."
(I think this should conclude Charles Kelly week.)
In case you missed it…

Even with this being a down year for GT, you have at least made it interesting and have cleaned up the comments section too. You are a credit to the AJC. With the changes made at GT, I'm excited about rest of the season.

so tech had a special teams coordinator in 2007? interesting.
October 11th, 2012

http://www…CPJ has always said that Kelly had the title of ST coordinator but not the time to do it exclusively. He was always secondary coach as well. He didn't hire a dedicated ST coach until Walkosky.

"(I think this should conclude Charles Kelly week.)"
I agree. Next week is player week.
October 11th, 2012
4:42 pm
The good news here is that it is tough to do any worse than the last three games. GT's defense has allowed the opponent to score points on nearly 75% of its drives and TDs nearly 60% of the time in the last three games. It would be difficult to be worse than that. I believe there is some talent on this team… unfortunately one entire position group seems to lack that talent, D-line. I really thought Izaan Cross would step up this year, but so far I haven't seen that. The secondary has made some plays and those LBs have shown flashes, but overall the effort has been inconsistent. I'm hoping that playing more players will help, especialy late in the game.
October 11th, 2012
4:50 pm
Thanks Ken…..I'm really looking forward to the BC game…..Want to see a renewed enthusiasm on defense and a team flying to the football….I'm rooting for Coach Kelly!
Go Jackets!!

Do you know if GT is having a mid-night madness Basketball practice or anything Friday?

…aren't you the guy who has been calling for Vad to play? And now you are jumping on the JT wagon – I guess CPJ will have to spell it out for you re: JT adn why he does not play, just as he did on the radio show last night about why Vad does not play…you, sir, cannot have it both ways, but I guess it does not hurt to hope…
October 11th, 2012
5:11 pm
…every team has a special teams coordinator, whether he has an individual title as such or not – you think Urban Meyer and Frank Beamer have the title of special teams coach, too, or does Head Coach who coaches the special teams not fit your agenda?
October 11th, 2012
5:14 pm
I hope I don't jinx anyone but I don't think the D can be any worse than it was. I don't even see how anyone knew what was wrong with the D except for maybe they gave up on the coach. Good like coach Kelly, if you let the guys play I think this D will be much improved. I hate a wait and react D. You have to be agressive on D. And again good luck and let them ponies run coach Kelly !!!

Ken does do a great job. I wish we had him on the College Recruiting Blog too. Look at Carvell's last dozen posts. We hardly ever hear who is visiting or what coaches and players think of GT, other than a sentence or two. While we are recruiting just as well, maybe slightly better, under PJ as under CG on average, I'd like to know what is keeping the local 4-star, and occasional 5-star, players from coming. Our classes are mostly loaded with 3-star players, which is good, but I'd love to see more playmakers on the field.
I can understand some objections to the spread option offense, but look at how many schools run the read option. Unless you're Cam Newton or Tim Tebow, you're not running that in the NFL. USCe just passed 10 times in their game with UGA. For Olineman, yes, GT cut blocks, but so do NFL teams with a zone blocking offense. (Of course we do have 2-3 big commmits there.) Big WRs can flourish in this offense and make it to the NFL. Dual-threat QBs, like Justin Thomas, should love this offense.
Then there is the defense. There is no reason we should not be able to recruit top local players there. Over a third of the NFL runs the 3-4.
I do think that Tech's academics limit the pool of available players. Just look at some of the top SE players who have GT on their list of schools with offers from dozens of schools but us. But why do we miss out on the ones going to Vandy, Stanford and ND?
NFL aspirations? While the SEC may be on top, the ACC is still typically third or fourth on draft day. Plus, the ACC has had more Pro Bowl players the last three seasons by a wide margin.
Stadium size? It's larger than Oregon's, Stanford's, Vandy's and TCU's, among others.
I'd like to hear it directly from coaches and players.
October 11th, 2012
5:56 pm
Living in Raleigh NC I have seen Vad Lee destroy some HS offenses. It may not translate to the ACC, but I'm a believer. I want to see him start, of course only after TW has no more illegibility. Lee has mobility, an arm and instinct. Ultimately, my hope for Tech is that the program is noted for recruiting premier RBs. Similarly, to when Cremins recruited premier PGs.
October 11th, 2012
5:59 pm
Alas, Linebacker U does have a nice ring to it!
October 11th, 2012
6:07 pm
Finally, a change. I'm not going to expect a new quarterback unless we reach the point where it will be a losing record. CPJ and the team must be pretty pumped about simplifying and working in more players to give guys a break throughout the game.

6:29 pm
As I have said groh should let the players go at it so they can be seen on tv making crushing tackles or scoring defensive touchdowns.
He would not let them go so we had to let him go.
Recruiting will be easier to an aggressive defense than to a read react defense.
I am not sure about the practice squad differences. With read and react the slower weaker practice squad guy is engaged by the faster stronger first team defender who then easily holds him off until he breaks down on the play. Without good coaching this results in sloppy play when on Saturday we find the first team opponent shows up.
With aggressive defense schemes -especially blitzes it maybe easier for coaches to see if we are not hiding or blitzing the proper running lanes….?. I remember undr bud Carson . The lb coach was jerry Glanville. He came in and really shook up the gentleman tackling. Went nuts in practices. The cub bard was bare and he did what he could and it was fun to watch.
Great to say it with gusto. To hell with ga ( except for the cool ga guys that are on our blog)
Next question is what academic adjustments and course offerings are needed. …?….

Would love to see our team tackling runners around the knees and below. Watching a couple of games last week, when really good runners are hit high, they tend to gain another 4 to 5 yards. When hit around the ankles they seem to drop right there. Also many times when hitting high, they bounce off, taking a runners legs out from under him is a good way to stop him in his tracks.
Any thoughts on this?
October 11th, 2012
6:34 pm
I think if the receiver had been tackled like that in the last minute of the Virginia Tech game, GT would have an another win in the column, GTpack.
October 11th, 2012
7:12 pm
As a Navy guy, I really like the "listing ship" metaphor.
October 11th, 2012
7:12 pm
Clemons TV announcers said CU ran 93 offensive plays. Ken quotes CPJ as saying our defenders were out of position on 47 of those plays. That's just a few hundredths over 50%. Is it any wonder we lost? It's a wonder we made the game as close as it was, IMNTBHO.
October 11th, 2012
7:16 pm
GTpack – I had a closeup view of one of Tech's OLBs in the Middle Tennessee game (who played only the first half, won't mention his name) diving at Cunningham's and receivers' feet with his shoulder pads, turning his back. It didn't work at all. They really need to form tackle.
October 11th, 2012
7:18 pm
I know I like reading CCK is going to cut 'em loose & play aggressively. IMO, that's the way defense should be played. I would add one word to their vocabulary though, "play with controlled aggression".
October 11th, 2012
7:19 pm
However, an example of a guy who goes down on the ankle tackles is Michael turner of the Falcons.

Delbert….this ship was close to "listing" completely wrong side up. I believe it is coming back upright now!

Still might get beat up and down the field but I'm feeling a little better about it right now at least.
October 11th, 2012

No negativity allowed!
October 11th, 2012
8:21 pm
For once i can say that i have a little faith in coach kelly. I love that these coaches FINALLY made the move to fit the d scheme around the players. That was something dumb dumb groh couldnt't do!
October 11th, 2012
8:22 pm
Any momentum that is gained for the rest of this season should carry forward to next season. Let's get bowl eligible and win! Beat the dwags in Athens, too!
October 11th, 2012
8:30 pm
I think CPJ is starting to feel his oats again now that our other head coach is out of the picture. I expect the results will be better and hopefully, assuming we beat BC, we get on a roll. This team seemed to have so much potential after the opener, but the Miami collapse really took the wind out of the sail. A win or two will round out that spinacker again.

Saturday's 2-0 win over Los AngelesPosted on March 15th, 2008 – 6:36 PM
By Michael Russo
Wild technically is back in first in the Northwest. Yes, Minnesota's tied with Colorado with 84 points, but the Wild's played one fewer game, which gives them the tiebreaker.
That makes Monday night a "Showdown for First Place" — the first of about 10 times we'll get to say that during what's bound to be a final three weeks where emotions fluctuate dramatically.
The Wild shut out the worst team in the NHL — at least based on points — tonight. It was a blue-collar effort in which guys like Stephane Veilleux and Branko Radivojevic were the stars.
Brian Rolston and Marian Gaborik might have gotten the goals tonight, but this game was about the unsung guys.
For instance, how about the play of defensemen Martin Skoula and Kurtis Foster? Skoula only got 17 1/2 minutes, but it looked to me like he was out there every shift lugging the puck up ice. Foster played 20:15, had four shots and had a number of big chip-outs in the third period.
Wild's power play is still brutal — 2 for its last 30 overall and 0 for 18 in the last five home games — but the penalty kill was stellar tonight, led by guys like Veilleux, Radivojevic, Rolston. The PK was 5 for 5.
Niklas Backstrom made big saves — 24 in all — for his first shutout since the third game of the season.
Like many opposing goalies recently, Kings 26-year-rookie Erik Ersberg had all the answers for the Wild in the first 30 minutes. But moments after Backstrom robbed Alexander Frolov with a left pad, Rolston banged twice at Pierre-Marc Bouchard's rebound for a 1-0 lead.
"Mikko was on our line and I told him, 'Get it to the net and lets grind away. We're going to get a garbage goal,'" Rolston said. "I knew it would take a grinding goal to get us going."
As you'll see in the notebook, Gaborik's got a shaved head. His girlfriend shaved it yesterday after he went for a haircut, came home, looked at the back in a mirror and saw there were patches missing.
He's getting torn to shreds by teammates — the most common being that he looks like Pavol Demitra's "mini-me."
Other tidbits:
– Gaborik's goal, off a 2-on-1 late in the third with Brent Burns, iced the game and was his 36th of the season and 200th of his career.
– Rolston got his 27th goal and eighth winner, tying Gaborik's franchise, single-season record.
– Backstrom's 4-1-3 in his last eight starts and has a 1.81 GAA and .940 SP in that span.
– Pierre-Marc Bouchard has a five-game assists streak and got No. 47 tonight, one off Andrew Brunette's team record.
– Mikko Koivu was tremendous tonight, won 13 of 19 draws and had an assist on Rolston's winner.
– The Wild's last seven wins were by one goal. This was their first by more than a goal since Feb. 2.
– The Wild's scored three or fewer goals in 13 straight games.
– The Wild is 7-0-2 in its past nine against the Kings.
– The Minnesota chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers' Association has selected Voros as the Wild's Bill Masterton Trophy nominee. Remember, five years ago, Voros had a tumor behind his left knee half the size of a baseball. He needed six operations, had part of his femur removed and was bed-ridden for eight weeks. He's come a long way, and was a presence in front of the net tonight.
– Derek Boogaard was very close to playing tonight instead of Voros, but the Wild will hold Boogaard off at least one more game.
– Benoit Pouliot was in the lineup, got 6:22 of ice time and I thought he looked pretty good.
– Big win because eighth-place Vancouver won, putting the Canucks two points behind the Wild. Ninth-place Nashville beat Detroit, putting the Preds four behind the Wild.
