Kyphosis facts
What is kyphosis?
The spine has a series of normal curves when viewed from the side. These curves help to better absorb the loads applied to the spine from the weight of the body. The cervical spine (neck) and lumbar spine (lower back) are have a normal inward curvature that is medically referred to as lordosisor "lordotic" curvature by which the spine is bent backward. The thoracic spine (upper back) has a normal outward curvature that is medically referred to as kyphosis or the "kyphotic" curve by which the spine is bent forward. In this discussion, the term kyphosis will be used to discuss abnormal kyphosis.
The spine is normally straight when looking from the front. An abnormal curve when viewed from the front is called scoliosis. Scoliosis can occur from bony abnormalities of the spine at birth, growth abnormalities especially with adolescence, degenerative spinal changes in adulthood, or abnormal twisting of the vertebrae because of muscle spasm after an injury.
The normal curves of the spine allow the head to be balanced directly over the pelvis. If one or more of these curves is either too great or too small, the head may not be properly balanced over the pelvis. This can lead to back pain, stiffness, and an altered gait or walking pattern.
What are the symptoms of kyphosis?
The most common symptoms for patients with an abnormal kyphosis are the appearance of poor posture with a hump appearance of the back or "hunchback." Symptoms may include back pain, muscle fatigue, and stiffness in the back. Most often, these symptoms remain fairly constant and do not become progressively worse with time.
In more severe situations, the patient may notice their symptoms worsening with time. The kyphosis can progress, causing a more exaggerated hunchback. In rare cases, this can lead to compression of the spinal cord with neurologic symptoms including weakness, loss of sensation, or loss of bowel and bladder control. Severe cases of thoracic kyphosis can also limit the amount of space in the chest and cause cardiac and pulmonary problems leading to chest pain or shortness of breath with eventual pulmonary and/or heart failure.

Since 1921 the Place for Family Fun!
Like us on Facebook today!
We welcome you to enjoy
A Day in the Park
Morrisons Cove Memorial Park encompasses 21 acres within the borough of Martinsburg. It was founded in 1915 when a group attending the Brown family picnic decided the area called Snyder's Grove would be a beautiful place for a park. In 1921 the Park elected its first Board of Directors and in 1922, the Park was officially incorporated and dedicated, "To commemorate the valor and heroic deeds of the brave soldiers of Morrisons Cove of all the wars in which the United States has participated, and to provide a public center for civic and moral instruction, recreation, amusement and promotion of athletic sports for all the people of Morrisons Cove."
In 1934 a multipurpose facility was erected to accompany indoor activities. In 1979 the facility was razed and the present recreational community complex was erected. The Park is a non-profit (501 C-3) corporation that is supported by the hard work and financial generosity of the community.
Within the Park you will find:
· The Huntsman Bowling Center and snack bar - a computerized ten lane bowling center.
· multi-purpose gymnasium - the only skating rink in Blair County. It can be rented for skating parties, basketball, volleyball or soccer, and includes a batting cage.
· The Weaver Banquet Facility that seats 200.
· The Hershberger Memorial Pool - a heated outdoor swimming pool with two waterslides and a wading pool. Day and season passes are available as well as swim lessons and Swim Team.
· Six picnic pavilions.
· Camping sites with limited hookups for electric and water.
· The Acorn Cove Play Park - maintained and financially supported by the community.
· Various affiliates are also located within the Park complex such as the Community Library and IU8 classrooms.
· A great place to meet friends and gather the family.
· Facilities are alcohol free, and accommodate those with physical limitations.
· Affordable fees.
· Events and programs that appeal to all ages.
Celebrate your next special occasion at the Park. Contact us soon at 814-793-2176 or email@example.com to plan your event!

Software means computer instructions or data. Anything that can be stored electronically is software, in contrast to storage devices and display devices which are called hardware.
The Difference Between Software and Hardware
The terms software and hardware are used as both nouns and adjectives. For example, you can say: "The problem lies in the software," meaning that there is a problem with the program or data, not with the computer itself. You can also say: "It's a software problem."
The distinction between software and hardware is sometimes confusing because they are so integrally linked. Clearly, when you purchase a program, you are buying software. But to buy the software, you need to buy the disk (hardware) on which the software is recorded.
Categories of Computer Software
Software is often divided into two categories. Systems software includes the operating system and all the utilities that enable the computer to function. Applications software includes programs that do real work for users. For example, word processors, spreadsheets, and database management systems fall under the category of applications software.

Games like the old half-life use skybox for a sky.Ive also heard about
The skybox 'follows' the player.So i think it should be not small as the map itself.But rotate with it.Am i right?
How about bigger games like Oblivion?Does it use a similar skybox?I mean the map is so big…
So,what will you guys suggest?My game is pretty big.Should i use the same skybox?Or a skysphere maybe?
Also,how do make flashing stars?Animated sprites?

Property of various owners
A Tlingit rattle
Carved in two sections, each hemispherical top worked in the shallow relief image of a bird, both sides identical with the exception of an arching band over the eyebrows: one side appearing as a pair of U-forms, the other side left plain, the perimeter finely grooved, painted in red, turquoise blue and brown pigments.
length 8 7/8in
Globular Rattle
Tlingit, c. 1820-1860, collected 1868-1870, Wrangell, Alaska.
Hardwood, paint
8 7/8" High
Among the Tlingit, globular rattles were the property of shamans, employed to call down the shaman's spirit helpers during healing and divining rituals. Bill Holm has written that the globular form of these rattles is related to the shape of the human skull, a visual metaphor representing the shaman's transmutation between the worlds of the spirit and the living. There seem to have been three very general but somewhat overlapping types among globular rattles: 1-Round or oval rattles that were finished smooth, with no sculpture or design work on their surface. 2- Ones that have both orbs decorated with relief-carved two-dimensional design work. 3-Those that display sculptured forms on one or both sides representing human or animal faces, often with the back half covered by two-dimensional design work. Naturally, there is a certain amount of overlap in these basic categories, and there are also unusual rattle compositions that are more or less globular in character, but that don't really fit into any of these basic types. This rattle, however, is a grand example of the second general type, with classic formline design work on both sides, each half nearly the same but with subtle differences between them.
Each side of the rattle features a red border or rim, textured with close-set radial grooving. This sort of textured border was a common embellishment in the early historical period, and can be seen employed on bowl rims and surfaces, chest or box surfaces, box and chest lids, spoon handles, and other locations. It is one of the earliest forms of carved surface treatment, which, judging by certain archaeological precedents, predates the development of the two-dimensional formline design tradition.
In the center of each rattle orb is composed a formline design representing a bird's face with a recurved beak. These images have often been referred to in the ethnographic literature as 'hawks'. Hawks, however, seldom appear as crest emblems in the Tlingit clan system, with only rare instances of hawk representations on such clan crest display vehicles as headdresses, totem poles, or house posts. One image that is often seen with a recurved beak on totem poles and sculptured headgear is Raven-at-the-Head-of-the-Nass, an important image from ancient mythology. Along with several other examples, the 'Seattle Totem Pole' includes this figure at the bottom with a strongly recurved beak of the type frequently attributed to a hawk in the literature. The Alaskan Tlingit carvers of the Seattle Totem reproduction, made in 1939, provided this identification. It is probably this face that is seen on both sides of this rattle, as well as on the breast of raven rattles and the fronts of some carved bowls.
The designs on the two rattle halves are very similar, differing only in minor details and proportions, which is typical of traditional carvings. Although capable of doing so, most traditional native artists elected not to make two such images precisely the same. No two people, including most twins, look exactly alike, so it appears that native carvers were reflecting what they observed in the natural world. The designs on each rattle half differ in the size and proportion of the eyes/eyesockets, the formline elements used on the forehead, and the particulars of the design elements in the cheek area. Not only is the personal style of each design noticeably different, but the consistency and proportions of the rim grooving on each half varies a bit too, suggesting that two different carvers executed each side of the rattle, such as a master and his apprentice.
This rattle, in addition to exhibiting older styles of design from the first half of the nineteenth century, also possesses an important and interesting provenance that includes a collection date between 1868 and 1870. The interior of the rattle contains two inscriptions. On one half is written "Indian Rattle Box". The other half of the rattle includes these words: "Made By the Alasky Indians - Brought By MR Loucks First Lieutenant Offcr my B....". The final word is indecipherable, possibly Battery, since Loucks was on station as part of the 2nd Artillery. Melville R. Loucks was stationed at Fort Wrangell between September 1868 and July 1870, during which period, according to family history, the rattle and pipe were acquired. There may once have been some minor damage to the end of the handle that was shaved down long ago, since the carving marks seen there have an old patina.

When TMZ reported that Nikki Bella was starting a career in real estate, it led to mass speculations that she was thinking about leaving WWE. Many feel that she wants to settle down in life. However, the twin diva stated that she was only looking to make some extra money on the side.
Brie Bella and Nikki Bella have been pushing WWE officials to create a divas tag team championship, so that other female performers can have a better chance at the spotlight and possibly a second television slot each week on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown.
In an interesting move, NFL AM had the Bella Twins on the show this morning, and the twin WWE divas discussed the Philadelphia Eagles.
While working a live event in Greensboro this weekend, Nikki Bella injured her leg. She was limping noticeably after her match, and some are speculating that the WWE star might have reaggravated the injury that was featured on Total Divas earlier this season.

The Sunday Giveaway: Two Tickets to Ann on Broadway!
I was walking down 44th Street one night in the early 90s with a friend, when he stopped in his tracks and screamed, "Oh My God," (we didn't say OMG in the 90s), "That's Ann Richards!" Before I could say "Who?", he bolted down the street and weaseled his way in between her security guards to get a handshake and a sweet Texas hello.
I went home in tried to google her, but Google hadn't been invented yet, so I asked around and quickly learned how strong of a politician, a public figure, and a woman she was.
So strong and so unique, that they could have written a play about her.
And eventually they did!
Ann, the new play about Ann Richards, the "legendary governor of Texas," starring Holland Taylor, starts previews tomorrow and opens officially at the beautiful Beaumont Theatre on March 7th.
And one of you is about to win free tickets!
Well, let's see . . . Fiorello was just up at Encores. Ann is on Broadway .
Who's next?
Bloomberg? Clinton? Blagojevich?
What politician's life would you make a show about? Comment below!

Kathleen Hochberg says:
Ronald Reagan! Lots of fodder for a fiery Broadway play there!
Aaron Darr says:
The Clintons. Probably Bill. Hillary's story is unfinished. 2016 is hers. I works for her for 16 months when she ran for President in 2008. She is such a compassionate, courageous, and brilliant woman. Her husband would make a great story for a one man play on Broadway. They could call it Bubba! Whoever plays Bill though would have to play the saxophone. A play with music!
David McKibbin says:
JFK from the perspective of Lee Harvey Oswald. It's sort of like a "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" type of play.
Randi says:
Mayor Ed Koch!
Gregory Allen says:
As someone born in Texas and loved Ann Richards (but saw the light and moved to NYC at 18 years old), I'd say we need one on the entire Bush clan. Only you make it like an 80s prime-time soap opera.
Michael Barra says:
Lincoln. He is such a popular subject. No vampires though, please.
Liz says:
I would have to agree with Aaron! I'd definitely go see a show about Bubba!
But if I had to pick someone else it would probably be Teddy Kennedy!
Liz says:
*Ted Kennedy (sorry my phone)
Becca says:
Well, I did just see CHECKERS at the Vineyard, which was about Nixon… but we already had Frost/Nixon on Broadway.
JFK! Or Mayor Ed Koch.
Madison D. says:
Rudy Giuliani's rise to fame with the Mafia Commission Trial or Rudy Giuliani and the 9/11 attacks
Travis says:
Theodore Roosevelt seemed to have a lot of exciting drama in his life.
Sarah P. says:
I agree that the Clintons have more than enough drama for a show, the Monica Lewinsky scandal alone would make a fascinating one! Although, I think a look at the Bush clan could be equally interesting (and I say that as someone who dislikes the lot of them)…
Brian says:
People are so fascinated with Lincoln, I think an interesting figure to explore theatrically now would be James Buchanan. The only bachelor president and someone who played a role in creating the climate that led to the Civil War.
Brittany says:
I'd go with….Jimmy Carter!
Rob Cote says:
Sarah Palin with Tina Fey in the lead!
Heather says:
Harvey Milk – I know it was a movie already but there is so much potential.
Benjamin Biordi says:
How about a dark comedy about George W Bush. The way he murdered the english language and common sayings is plenty of material. Condoleezza Rice as a news reading dominatrix. Dick Cheney as a face shooting, lesbian hiding, heart failing VP. Very very dark comedy.
AmyKB says:
I think Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky would make a good subject. If his quote, "I'd rather be right than be president," doesn't hit home with people today, I don't know what would. He's got kinda a crazy history – lost the presidency FOUR times, was a great Speaker of the House, worked on the Missouri Compromise, helped California become a state, and was a Whig, which is always entertaining to hear about. He may have been pre-Civil War, but interesting nonetheless.
LoriO says:
Absolutely Bill Clinton! First President I was old enough to vote for. Love him in spite of his personal flaws. Definitely enough drama in his personal and political life to entertain.
Kyle Abraham says:
I'm going to go with the obvious choice here: President Obama
Caitlin Pinick says:
Millard Fillmore. You can't go wrong with a name like Millard.
Morgan says:
Gabrielle Giffords. Its timely, she's inspirational and her husband is an astronaut. No brainer.
Kristopher Weaver says:
Barney Frank's story could work nicely.
Margie says:
Nelson Mandela. A musical with TONS of fantastic South African rubber boot stomping music. There's no one who doesn't like Mandela, and the sound track alone would be a huge seller
Amanda Bohan says:
Hillary Clinton, Harvey Milk, and Margaret Thatcher would all make for really interesting plays!
Laurie Bloom says:
I say former governor of New Orleans (during Katrina) Ray Nagin…I think it should be a musical with full on water effects on the stage.
brian says:
Ronald Regan
Rosie says:
Charles Rangle—lots of great stuff to work into a play!
Evan says:
Anthony Weiner the musical.
Reed Prescott says:
"Jan Brewer: Hotter Than Hell" Starring Jan Maxwell. Maxwell's the only one who could pull off pure evil and somehow make you root for her at the same time.
Tony P says:
Clearly: Hillary Clinton. Full of drama of both the work and home life variety, and because her story isn't quite done yet, it offers what EVERY producer wants: A SEQUEL!
Miriam Baron says:
Condoleezza Rice
Patrick says:
How about Giuliani during 9/11?
Lexi says:
Margaret Thatcher – the musical!
Brandon Martin says:
Anthony Weiner…almost as controversial as the nudity in Hair!
Alan B. says:
This one is easy Ken! Chris Christie
Rick Reynolds says:
Shirley Chisholm, a tough New Yorker! Great material – the first African-American woman elected to Congress – backed by NYC in the 70′s and 80′s (years in office) – can't lose!
Bob says:
The governors of Illinois. It would be set in a prison, of course; and would be a sequel to the musical "Chicago", only this time with politicians. In the past 50 years, 4 governors (who were in office collectively for about 21 of those 50 years) were convicted of crimes and served time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor_of_Illinois
Alexa says:
Koch, the musical, is my bet for what's next.
Demi Agapitos says:
Yes I'm Speaking To You – Governor David Paterson Story.
I Am Not a Crook…Or Am I? The Richard Nixon Story

President Obama, most definitely!
LARRY ABRAMSKY says:
I'm already working on it.
Thom says:
Geraldine Ferraro.
Cheryl Dzubak says:

Farrell Brenner says:
Ralph Nader and his vote-stealing conspiracy of 2000.

Hillary Clinton. She is the most polarizing politician around. Sonheim can do the genius behind this show!

Hillary Clinton.
Tom L says:
Chris Christie–he's a horrible governor, but a Governor Cheeseburger Walrus musical would be a smash hit!!
Eileen F. says:
How about Abraham Lincoln? He's beloved bi-partisanly, it's an epic story, the musical possibilities would be UHmazing and the old rail-splitter is a proven draw! Best of all, I could totally play Mary, finally making my Broadway debut….
Randy says:
Winston Churchill or Vladamir Putin (you didn't say it needed to be an American politician, did you)?
Or, what might have been if Huey P. Long had been President.
Elisa Christina Clayton says:
After watching Oliver Stone's "The Untold History of the United States" I think a play about Henry A. Wallace could be fascinating.
I copied the excerpt below from this website http://dissenter.firedoglake.com/2012/11/26/oliver-stones-untold-history-a-review-of-the-first-two-episodes/
"Henry A. Wallace served as President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Secretary of Agriculture from 1933-1940 and his vice president during his third term. He was a popular figure, who condemned British Prime Minister Winston Churchill stating, "[The] notion of Anglo-Saxon superiority inherent in Churchill's approach will be offensive to many. Churchill, who had quite a bit of whiskey, said, why be apologetic about Anglo-Saxon superiority, that we were superior, that we have the common heritage that had been worked out over the centuries of England and had been perfected by our Constitution." It was well known that Wallace had a hatred for imperialism; in fact, Churchill had tasked secret agents with spying on Wallace.
Jesse H. Jones, Secretary of Commerce, Edwin Pauley, Democratic Party National Committee treasurer and oil millionaire both despised Wallace. South Carolina Senator James Byrnes, who was raised in the "hothouse politics of sultry South Carolina," became their champion. He had come from an environment "where white superiority and segregation trumped all other issues."
Byrnes was called up to help orchestrate a scenario where Wallace would not be re-nominated vice president. Roosevelt, who had grown increasingly ill, could not be at the Democratic National Convention and/or was unwilling to fight for his vice presidential nominee. Party bosses Pauley, Robert Hannegan, DNC chairman, Ed Flynn, Bronx Boss, Ed Kelly, Mayor of Chicago, Frank Hague, Mayor of Jersey City, Frank Walker, Postmaster General and former Party Chairman and other opponents of Wallace needed "an eleventh hour substitute" and chose Missouri Senator Harry S. Truman, who had limited qualifications and could be counted on not to rock the boat.
Known as "Pauley's coup" to insiders, the bosses were aware of the high support Wallace had among convention delegates. Only two percent, according to a poll, supported Truman while Wallace had sixty-five percent support among delegates.
Wallace's speech to the convention was met with huge applause. He called for "equal wages for equal work" no matter one's gender or race. The convention delegates cheered wildly. The loudspeaker system played Wallace's campaign song: "Iowa, Iowa. That's where the tall corn grows."
Florida Senator Claude Pepper knew Wallace would win if the delegates voted on his nomination before adjourning on the opening day. So, too, did the party bosses. They had Samuel D. Jackson, session chair, adjourn the convention before a vote on Wallace's nomination could be taken. Chaos erupted because the "yays" clearly had not had outnumbered the "nays." Nonetheless, Jackson carried out "strict instructions" not to allow the nomination and the opening day was over.
Overnight, "Pauley and anti-Wallace forces united behind Harry Truman. Deals were cut. Positions offered. Ambassadorships, postmaster positions, cash payoffs—Bosses called every state chairman telling them Roosevelt wanted the Missouri senator as his running mate."
The second day forces for Wallace were prepared to ensure he was nominated. They voted and Wallace one the first ballot. When the second ballot was called, police prevented thousands from entering the convention. Truman won."
Billy Recce says:
Arnold Schwarzenegger. Now that would be interesting. Governator-The Musical, anyone?
John P says:
Reading all the comments above, I can't help but think Politician's live the most interesing lives…because all of these people (Clintons, Lincoln, Harvey Milk, Chris Christie, Obama, MAYOR ED KOCH, Geraline Ferrero, Jim McGreevy, Anthony Weiner, Condoleeza Rice etc etc) would make great plays… or even Musicals….
Kathy H says:
As a Jersey Girl I'm going to suggest Jon Corzine! It might make an interesting story to find out how he escaped prosecution for losing 1.6 billion dollars of customer money from MF Global while raising campaign funds for President Obama. But of course he never intended to misuse the funds!
Gillien says:
My first instinct was Ed Koch,as so many have also suggested (always best to go with someone dead), but then I thought: BELLA ABZUG!!! The hats alone would be worth the price of admission.
Ed says:
How about the rise and fall (and rise) of Jerry Brown?The soundtrack can reflect the singers he was linked to
Ed says:
Why only choose one politician from one country? – U.N. the musical – The fun that could be had with style and content!
Ruth Post says:
My first thought was Ed Koch, and then JFK . . . But many others had the same thoughts. So, digging a bit deeper, how about Nelson Mandella?
Lane says:
The extraordinary Bella Abzug
Paula says:
My first thought was Ed Koch. Many have suggested that.
Unless I missed it, I would suggest FDR. There's a lot of material to "play" with there.
Josh Ruben says:
JFK due to the multi-genre appeal. Costumes and style of the era will appeal to fans of "Mad Men." Soap opera lovers will get into the adultery tales, especially the Marilyn angle. Fans of political intrigue have Cuba, the fights with LBJ, and the cross-dressing J. Edgar Hoover (which is also a nod to fans of Bravo shows). Then there is the relationship with MLK and the Civil Rights struggle. And of course conspiracy wackos will love how the real killer turns out to be an inebriated Merv Griffin.
Melissa N says:
Aaron Burr. There is so much history & drama with him, obviously, and his family (his only daughter was traveling by boat from South Carolina to see him in NY when she disappeared and was never heard from again); it could be epic.
EllenFD says:
Michelle Bachmann–The Musical. I can envision encounters with colorful clergy who teach her to "pray away" undesirable elements she perceives in others.
Joe G says:
Mark Foley at Carnegie Hall
Terrence Cranert says:
Abe Lincoln and Mary Todd. We discussed this one at your Getting Your Show Off the Ground seminar. I know a redhead from Texas Is love to take to see Ann.
Russell Brown says:
Jimmy Carter. I don't know much about him or why he was so disliked, so it'd be nice if I could learn something from a play. From what I've read and heard so far about him there are many things about then that would help us understand what's happening today with congress and the presidency. I think good plays can do that for us, help us understand someone in the past (in this case a tragic figure) and therefore better understand today.
Michael PZ says:
HILLARY Clinton – and the Clinton machine – just in time for 2016 when she wins President !
PS: Go see Ann even if you don't win the tickets – saw her in DC and she was AMAZING !
gjc says:
"As a man I was a kook,
Women never gave a 2nd look,
As a Prez I took & took,
BUT 'I am NOT a crook'"
–Nixon the musical
Ed R says:
Ben Franklin. So much to write about and so many different story lines.
Josh says:
I'd love to see "OBAMA (A BARACK OPERA)"
Zanne says:
Who else? My ancestor – John and/or Quincy Adams! (Oh wait, that's been done – "1776″) Then how about Teddy? (Oh … that's been done too – "Alice") All right then … ANDREW JACKSON. He had Native American blood and yes, he also tried to eliminate N.A. from the face of the planet. Interesting study there.
Robb J says:
I know he is a lead character in 1776 but I would love a play that goes into the life of Ben Franklin. Running away from Boston as a child, brilliance as a printer and satirist, incentions, the common law marriage to Deborah Read, Political struggle against the heirs of William Penn over the colonial goverment, his son growing up to be royal Governor of New Jersey while Franklin was in the struggle for Independance, the trip to France with Adams to secure miliatary support int he war for independance . . .
There is such a wealth of material that you could have a drama or a comedy, a love story or a story of a philanderer. A Shwo about the statesman, the businessman or the inventor. You can do so much
John Dallal says:
I think James J.Walker would be an interesting
subject. Beau James came to symbolize The Roaring
Twenties. And,even though he was forced to resign
during a corruption scandal,he is remembered for
composing a lovely song: Will You Love Me In
December(As You Do In May?)
Colleen says:
Jesse Ventura – wrestler gone politician
Colleen says:
Silvio Berlusconi – controversial Italian prime minister
Susan says:
She was not technically a politician, but she is supposed to have acted as president after Woodrow had a stroke and she was descended from Pocahantas, so Edith Wilson. Also has the advantage that she is no longer a polarizing figure as many more recent politicians are.
Ed Ertle says:
Rudy–the Musical! It has drama (9/11), romance (his public ditching of Donna Hanover), comedy/pathos (his bans on porn shops and firecrackers for Chinese New Year). All great fodder for big splashy production numbers!
Amy Engelhardt says:
Al Franken. And not just for the obvious reasons. Minnesota is full of amazing characters.
Nanda Douglas says:
Abraham Lincoln, the (original) great negotiator.
Alexis Fishman says:
This is a fun one! I'm going to have to say Hillary. Though we'd need to see if Amy Poehler is available first.
Maureen says:
James K. Polk, the 11th US President because he apparently achieved everything he set on his political agenda in one term.
Liz Wollman says:
A wacky musical comedy about Idi Amin, but only if Mel Brooks would write the book and score, and direct it.
David Hopson says:
Former Governor(s) & presidential running mate,
George C. Wallace & his wife Lurleen Wallace.
A period piece, with plenty of plot, twists, turns
Complete with an assisination attempt. Lots of political satire with a racist tone. Just enough story to create an emotional stir if the senses with its audience.
Gladys Santiago says:
Giuliani during his war on club drugs. It could be a techno/trance musical.
Carey Walden says:
I think Obama's story could be funny and captivating on stage. Being raised bi-racially, the semi-notorious college years, and driving a fallen-apart vehicle to pick up Michelle for a date! His "journey to…" has some tragi-comic potential!
Ed from CT says:
Many great suggestions here but I can't believe I didn't see this one listed: "Bloomberg, the Musical!"
From building his Empire to running the # 1 city in the Empire State.
He could even sing how he did it "My Way."
George Washington could also be a fascinating subject (and I loved "1776″).
Jimmy Carter would be tough to do- plenty of material but hard to make him likable.
Lincoln, Rudy G and Jesse Ventura are all worthy subjects, too, as are Mayor Koch and Gov. Christie.
Solange De Santis says:
Barbara Jordan, the late Texas congresswoman – an amazing story: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Jordan
I just want to hear someone imitate that rich voice of hers.
Joanne Theodorou says:
LBJ….as large as Texas and certainly as colorful and profane! Some great story lines here.
Cate says:
Koch was my first thought! Loved that guy. But Imelda Marcos might be the new Evita.
Rick Shulman says:
The Governator himself, Arnold Schwartzenager. He's had the kind of life that would need a trilogy.
SHERYL WIENER says:
South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford – "The Appalacian Trail"
Kristen McG says:
Ronald Reagan would be an interesting play and one i would see
Noah P says:
Queen Elisabeth!
Shannon D. says:
MY FAVORITE MOVIE IS "MILK" …. so it's a no brainer here…
Harvey Milk!
Bryan Austermann says:
I think a George W. Bush play could be infinitely hilarious. (I know Will Ferrell already did this, but perhaps a less SNLish version)
Gregory Allen says:
If you watch SMASH – they just gave us a JFK song. Does that count?
Tim Realbuto says:
A musical 7 inches in the making."
This one might have to premiere Off-Broadway, where you can get away with a bit more lol.
Ellen @stageelf says:
FDR and Eleanor…or just Eleanor who was quite a political figure :)…absolutely fascinating
And if Shirley Temple Black counts as a politician (Ambassador), might be something there :).
Beau says:
I'd like to see a play that focuses on the journey of the First Lady. Perhaps showcases more than one throughout the course of the show (Eleanor Roosevelt, Michelle Obama, Abigail Adams) and exploring the similarities and differences.
Sarah Brisco says:
Ronald Reagan from the US. From outside, honestly, Sadaam Hussain. I know it is a touchy subject, but I would love to see someone's ideas on how to portray all of his escapades.
Nancy C. says:
Barbara Jordan
virginia vanderbilt says:
I would say at this place and time MANDELA would be a hit on Broadway. I know there's a movie ready to be released, so the show would be perfect.
Jeff says:
If Buchanan was our first closeted gay president (arguable), he seems like a good choice to get his own musical.
Kate says:
Che- definitely Che -Can't you just see the costumes now, the haze from the cigar smoke and don't forget about his passion!
Stacey says:
Donna Mather says:
Frank Rizzo: Philly cop and mayor…intense politics and race relations
Elliot says:
Lincoln. Everyone is fascinated by the whole Lincoln thing right now.
Ellen Orchid says:
Mayor Mike Bloomberg. He's a self-made man who lost his dad at a young age and became the "man" of the family and created a business which made him a billionaire. Many fascinating things about him. Worth a show in the future.
Forrest says:
Lee Atwater!
Karen Campbell says:
Sonny Bono
Eleah Burman says:
I would love a musical about The Clintons. Deceit, cheating, and strong characters, specifically strong female characters, make for excellent dramatic devices. I would love to see Sondheim tackle this and finally get a new musical out.
Alexandra says:
Golda Meir – elected first female prime minister of Israel in March 1969. I would make the backdrop the women's lib movement which was kicked off in the US by Betty Friedan's 1963 book The Feminine Mystique.
susan glazer says:
paul ryan…of course in a musical comedy!
Jamie says:
best indie bands|top indie rock|alternative rock bands|good indie bands|top indie bands|best indie rock songs|indie rock bands LA|best indie band|top indie bands|list of indie bands|american alternative rock band|canadian indie bands|the best indie bands| says:
You really make it appear really easy along with your presentation but I to find this matter to be really something that I believe I'd never understand. It seems too complicated and very vast for me. I am taking a look forward on your next submit, I will try to get the cling of it!

Tennessee fans have a tendency to overreact and make brash decisions. Look at how they (with the help of Phil Fulmer) back-stabbed Johnny Majors. Or the way they rode Phil out. Heck, even though Lane Kiffin made a decision that 95% of Vols fans would make (here is your dream job. the job you've wanted ever since you first learned you'd have to work for a living. want it? Duh.), they've been nothing short of cruel toward the guy (admittedly, Lane could have handled the situation better...).
It would be unfortunate for Vols fans to run Dooley out after 2 seasons, but as I said, they do tend toward such behavior.
Fortunately for Dooley, David Heart is probably not inclined toward rash decisions.

Reviewing 33.0.1750.154 (Mar 19, 2014)
I used google chrome in the past, for a number of years. It got better and better, until about a year or more go and went downhill. All of a sudden it became sluggish with slow page rendering, to the point where it simply wasn't worth using any longer.
At that time, about a year ago I switched to Firefox and have been using it ever since. Quite frankly, Chrome can't hold a candle to FF. I still check out chrome and install updates, however I see virtually no improvement with chrome. I always wonder what happened to chrome.
Reviewing 33.0.1750.154 (Mar 18, 2014)
Tried it on my laptop, no better than before a resource hog and a poor attempt at making a browser. Was pants before and is still pants. Google should stick to there search engines and leave this arena well alone.
Reviewing 33.0.1750.149 (Mar 11, 2014)
Steve, really, who gives a sh1t about peacekeeper results. The actual difference in any load times or fps is negligible for most users. Chrome fails at the most important part, usability. The lack of options forces one to assimilate their browsing behaviors and that hurts productivity.
Their entitled attitude towards our privacy is an absolute insult to anyone with a pulse.
So you can take your peackeeper tests and shove em in your peacepipe for all I care because you are missing the plot
Reviewing 33.0.1750.149 (Mar 11, 2014)
I miss being able to choose the size of of the diskcache and where to place it.
Also the downloader is a bit clumpsy.
But this is the best browser available in my opinioin.
Reviewing 32.0.1700.102 (Jan 28, 2014)
It wanted your SS#? Forget it, not going to install anymore Chrome versions.
Yes, it's windows, kids pretty love them, I have seen so many beautiful pictures about this cute stuff, such as the Amazon.com,http://www.eva-product.com/iPad-Mini-Foam-Case-231-1.html, it's really great!
Is this an upgrade? Supposedly, Google Chrome does an upgrade automatically. If you click on tools/about chrome, it says whether it is up to date. Mine says Google Chrome up to date (22.214.171.124)

Ask the Doctor
Questions about kidney disease? Risk factors? Signs and symptoms? Are you concerned about yourself, a friend or family member? Ask Dr. Spry.
Recent data from the Kidney Early Evaluation Program (KEEP) showed a strong link between education and health. Researchers studied 60,000 KEEP participants and found that higher education was associated with lower rates of chronic disease, across races and ethnicities. College graduates had 11% lower odds of decreased kidney function and 37% lower odds of cardiovascular disease—a known risk factor for kidney disease. They also found that college graduates had 24% lower mortality rates compared with high school graduates. This study found that educational status is linked to risk factors, such as smoking, poor diet and nutrition and lack of exercise. Those with higher education have access to information, recognize the implications of behavior and choose actions that optimize their health. Educational differences appear to give rise to health disparities and so, the NKF is committed to providing health information and continuing its education initiatives targeted to those at risk.

8 Easy Thanksgiving Centerpiece Ideas
Tabletop Inspiration
Thanksgiving table centerpieces can be as elaborate or as easy as you make them. Personally, I think simple is beautiful, and I'd much prefer a display of leaves and candles over an overwrought gilded craft explosion. If you're of that mindset, too, then these eight table decor ideas should be right down your alley:Related: Burlap on the Thanksgiving Table

optic nerve, abnormal formation of structures along the midline of the brain, and pituitary hypoplasia are the characteristic findings. Recurring seizures, delayed development, and abnormal movements may be present in some people with septo-optic dysplasia. Although the exact cause of septo-optic dysplasia is unknown, it is believed that both genetic and environmental factors play a role. Viruses, medications, and blood flow disruption have all been suggested as possible environmental causes. Thus far, three genes (HESX1, OTX2, and SOX2) have been associated with septo-optic dysplasia. Typically, people do not have a family history of septo-optic dysplasia. However, there have been a few cases in which multiple family members have been diagnosed. Familial cases may follow an autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance.[1]Septo-optic dysplasia is a disorder of early brain development.

The dead are taking the city. The teeming dead walk the streets, the living falling back or dying in a futile attempt to protect what is theirs. Police sirens, ambulance sirens, air raid sirens, car alarms and domestic burglar alarms, every artificial wail that indicates human disaster is going off somewhere. But what you hear are the screams. People are backing themselves into corners, falling behind, or being wounded by their comrades and left for the dead. The groans of the dead raise in pitch as they swarm over each new victim. There is a tearing of flesh, a crunching of bone, then they resume their steady progression. Some people try to make their way to the harbor where they Navy is waiting to shuttle survivors away. No one is going to make it. The circling jets carry enough napalm to level the city. You can only hope the fire wipes out the infection. If not, every city in the country is going to be like this. Industrial rock with zombie apocalypse sound effects.

Audubon's Legacy: Where It All Began
On a farm in rural Pennsylvania, John James Audubon first glimpsed the curious birds of the New World that would become his lifelong passion. Now the Audubon Center at Mill Grove shares his home and his artistry with the conservation movement he continues to inspire.
This is where it all began: Here at Mill Grove in eastern Pennsylvania, with its big farmhouse built of rough-cut local fieldstone, enveloped now in a century's growth of ivy and set discreetly into a slope on the eastern shore of Perkiomen Creek, just above its entry into the Schuylkill River. Here a young John James Audubon settled upon his arrival from France in 1803 to embark on one of the most flamboyant and productive lifelong adventures in American history.
"Its fine woodlands, its extensive acres, its fields crowned with evergreen offered many subjects to my pencil," the supreme painter of America's birds was to write years later. "It was there that I commenced my simple and agreeable studies with as little concern about the future as if the world had been made for me."
[gallery:42276|align:left|caption:GALLERY See a selection of Audubon's iconic birds.] If the Audubon movement had a Plymouth Rock, it would be Mill Grove. It was through Audubon's artistry that his idea of a bird, of birdness itself, passed into the nation's consciousness. Beneath his paintings' plumage lies something wild and inexpressible, something that implies to viewers that by observing birds they may open themselves to the poetry of their own lives. It was only natural that when embryonic conservationists rallied to protect wild birds, they chose the American most identified with them and called their organizations Audubon Societies.
Last year, exactly 200 years after the prodigy's arrival, the National Audubon Society signed an agreement with Pennsylvania's Montgomery County to establish an Audubon center at Mill Grove. Plans for the property include developing an art gallery to house and protect Mill Grove's collection of John James Audubon's prints--the most valuable wildlife art in the world--and expanding the environmental education programs the county has offered there for many years.
"We don't want this to be simply a traditional art museum," says Jean Bochnowski, a former executive vice-president of Zoo New England and now director of the Audubon Center at Mill Grove. "We want it to be a place where we can use Audubon's art to tell the stories of the species and habitats that they represent in a landscape which is where Audubon first explored America and got to know its wildlife."
Located about 25 miles northwest of Philadelphia, Mill Grove is among America's genuine shrines. Although its house and huge barn are somewhat the worse for wear since Audubon's time, many seminal American landmarks, including Thoreau's Walden Pond, haven't aged as gracefully. Suburban traffic reaches near-gridlock proportions beyond Mill Grove's main entrance, but within its boundaries tranquillity reigns.
In the early 19th century, when the youthful artist tirelessly "studied" the local birds with the aid of a flintlock gun, the farmyard was astir with horses and cattle, and the air resounded with the clamor of a working lead mine and the water-powered mill for which the property was named. Now the farm animals and mill are long gone. The site of the abandoned mine is a grassy hollow among lush trees and shrubs. Descendants of the fallen house wrens, chimney swifts, and eastern phoebes provide much of the song and stir. No ghosts walk here, and none are necessary. Mill Grove exudes to the visitors of today its own rich and remarkable history.
The neat dormers and solid chimneys of the house at Mill Grove stamp it as a practical and respectable farmhouse. Built in 1762, with a new wing added a few years later, it served as a tavern for a time and never gained the more ostentatious proportions of some neighboring homes. That was perfectly acceptable to Jean Audubon, captain of a French cargo vessel and a trader in rum, sugar, and slaves on his rounds from France to various Caribbean and U.S. ports. He bought the property as an investment in 1789. The senior Audubon also owned land in what is now Haiti. There he fathered two illegitimate children, a son and a daughter, by two different women of French descent. The boy became known later as John James Audubon.
"Slave revolts threatened the planters in Haiti, and Jean Audubon wanted to take his children to France and raise them as French citizens," says Alan Gehret. A walking encyclopedia of Auduboniana who grew up near Mill Grove, he has worked there for 19 years and currently serves as museum coordinator. "We don't know for sure, but it's possible that four-year-old John James was aboard his father's ship when he stopped in Philadelphia and bought Mill Grove."
The aging sailor arranged for a tenant farmer and his wife to care for the property. In 1803, worried his son would be drafted into Napoleon's army, he slipped the 18-year-old out of France and sent him to Mill Grove. John James, already entranced by birds and by the prospect of exploring America's wilderness, found himself in what he must have thought of as an opulent aviary, a glitter of the strange and beautiful birds of a new world.
He was then just coming into manhood. Romantic and narcissistic, he described himself later as "quite a handsome figure," with an "aquiline nose and a fine set of teeth" and hair that fell in luxuriant ringlets to his shoulders. He was also a gifted liar and made up elaborate stories. He reported that George Washington had visited old Jean Audubon at Mill Grove during the general's winter at nearby Valley Forge, and claimed a beautiful and wealthy mother in New Orleans to disguise his bastardy. But few men have ever matched their deeds so closely to their bull. Contemporaries marveled at Audubon's exceptional abilities as a marksman, fencer, dancer, musician, horseman, and charmer of women.

Code of Conduct
At Boomerang we live by one rule: treat others the way you wish to be treated. We believe in showing respect to all living things; people, animals and the world around us. We walk the extra mile to find and collaborate with producers, suppliers and partners who share the same ethical principles that we do. We are currently in the process of developing our corporate policy on the environment and animal rights. The paragraphs below will therefore be supplemented in the not-too-distant future.
We believe in freedom of choice for employees
No type of coercion, either physical or psychological, may be used on employees (ILO Conventions 29 and 105). Employees should not be forced to leave a deposit and/or identity documents to the employer.
We do not accept discrimination
All employees are treated equally irrespective of gender, skin, colour, religion, nationality or social background and have the same development possibilities (ILO Conventions 100 and 111)
We distance ourselves from child labour
We do not exploit child labour. Only people over the age of 15 and those that have completed the compulsory schooling are allowed to work (ILO Convention 138). Any replaced child workers will be remuerated financially or offered development and training opportunities.
We respect trade unions and the workers right to organise
We acknowledge all workers rights to organise, form trade unions and take part in collective bargainin (ILO Convention 87 and 98). Worker representatives will not be discriminated against and shall be given right access to all necessary parts of the company in order to perform their representative duties (ILO COnvention 135 and Recommendation 143). Employers should have a positive attitude towards trade union work and efforts to organise workers.
We believe in paying reasonable salaries
Salaries and benefits that are paid for a normal working week shall always meet statutory and industrial minimum levels and guarantee a reasonable, disposable income that at the very least covers the basic needs of workers and their families. Salary deductions as disciplinary measure are not acceptable. Deductions that are not stipulated by law and/or approved by the employer are not accepted. All workers shall be provided with comprehensible written information about their salary terms before thier term of employment and every time a salary is paid out.
We support humane working hours
The normal number of working hours should correspond to applicable laws and the general industry standards in each country. Employees should normally not be required to work more than 48 hours a week and have the right to at least one day off each seven-day period. Overtime should be voluntary and not exceed 12 hours a week.Overtime may not be systematically applied and must always be remunerated reasonably.
We are meticulous about our working conditions
A safe and hygienic work environment should always be provided.The best health and safety policy for the occupation in question should be put forward, taking into account prevailing circumstances and the risks in each industry. Physical punishment, threat of physical punishments or other types of harassment by the employer, extraordinary disciplinary measures, sexual or other harassments are strictly prohibited.
We believe that employers have a responsibility
Statutory occupational and social obligations towards employees and general undertakings that are included within the employer's normal sphere of responsibility may not be sidestepped through use of staffing agencies, third parties and/or similar. Younger workers should have the possibility of further training and if available, offered a place on trainee programmes.

Degree Audit (DARS)
Welcome to DARS!
A degree audit is a report that organizes a student's courses according to degree requirements. It includes completed MU courses, transfer work and courses currently in progress. The degree audit provides detailed information about how your course work applies toward requirements in your major, minor and general education areas.

There will undoubtedly be a lot of emotion in John Paul Jones Arena when Virginia hosts Maryland in its regular season finale on Sunday. Point guard Jontel Evans says it will be even more emotional for him, because it's Senior Day.
"These four years have flown by so fast," he said. "I'm just thankful to be a part of this Virginia history, you know, and play in front of all these great fans that we have. I know it's going to be an emotional time, but it's going to be fun."
Evans committed to UVa when Dave Leitao was the head coach, and decided he would be a Cavalier even though Leitao was eventually replaced by Tony Bennett.
"I remember sitting in his house, just saying, 'you don't know me,'" says Bennett of their first meeting in 2009. "But I know he was in love with the school, the opportunity, being in state, and then just kind of saying, 'look, we're kind of on a journey and I hope we can do this together and build this thing, and get some consistent success.'"
Four years later the Hampton, Va. native is a senior leader for the Cavaliers who has played in 115 games and started 87 of them.
"UVa is is the greatest school in the country. You know, I played for one of the greatest coaches of all time. And I played in a city where the fans support you and they love you, and my experience here was amazing."
