How to Treat a Torn Muscle
Two Parts:Treating Minor Muscle InjuriesTreating Major TearsCommunity Q&A
Muscle injuries are common, especially among people who work out. It is easy to overdo it and end up with a torn muscle or sprained ligament. If you play any type of sport or have children who do, you have probably had to administer first aid and make the decision about going to the urgent care. It is helpful to know when you can treat these injuries at home and when you need to see a healthcare professional. Ideally, you will have the information required to make this choice for yourself. This will also allow you to provide relevant information to a healthcare provider if you do need to seek an expert opinion.
Part 1
Treating Minor Muscle Injuries
1Diagnose the level of injury. Muscles make up the bulk of your body, and are connected by tendons and ligaments, like a pulley system. There are two types of minor muscular injuries that you can treat yourself.
- A first degree is just a stretch injury, with little or no tearing. It hurts, but you can still easily walk on it or lift the limb normally. You may not want to lift weight, but against gravity, you should feel only discomfort.[1]
- A second degree injury is a partial tear. It will be tender with perhaps some bruising and tenderness, but without any visible lumps or masses. This will feel more painful. You can walk on it but will probably favor the other leg or limp. If the tear is in your arm, you will have some increased discomfort when lifting against gravity.[2]
2Rest the muscle. For either a first or second degree injury, medical care is not typically needed. You can treat these injuries with RICE, a mnemonic for the steps treatment. Step one is to rest the injured area.[3]
- Take a break from exercising until the muscle is feeling capable of performing activity without pain. No sports until you are feeling stronger. This should not be any longer than two weeks. If significant pain persists beyond that, make an appointment with your physician.
- You should still be able to walk and/or move your arms. if you cannot do this, by definition, your tear is not a first or second degree. You should see your healthcare provider.
3Ice the area. Apply ice, either in the form of a bag of frozen peas or crushed/cubed ice in a protective plastic wrapping. Apply for 15-20 minutes every two hours for two days after the injury.[4]
- The ice will decrease the internal bleeding (hematoma), swelling, inflammation, and discomfort.
4Compress the muscle. Wrap with an ace bandage to protect the area for 48-72 hours. Be sure to wrap it snugly, but not too tight.[5]
- Be sure you can still fit two fingers between your skin and the wrap. Remove if you notice any sign of decreased circulation such as numbness, tingling, or paleness in the area.
- Compression will also serve to protect the area from re-injury.
5Elevate the injured limb. Elevate the injured limb above your heart, in a comfortable position. This will decrease blood flow to the area, which will reduce swelling.[6]
- If you can't get the injury above your heart, try to at least keep it parallel to the ground.
- If you are still feeling a great deal of throbbing, try raising the limb higher.
6Take appropriate medication. You may want to use use over the counter anti-inflammatory medication to reduce pain. Options include Motrin (ibuprofen) or Naprosyn ( naproxen sodium).
- There has been some controversy about this. These medications stop pain, but also may stop a phase of chemical reactions that are important in long term healing.[7] Many doctors recommend their use starting 48 hours after the injury.
- You may use Tylenol in the first 48 hours, but for no longer than seven days.[8] So, take Tylenol for the first two days, then Motrin for the following seven days.
- Be certain to take motrin with food and a glass of water to avoid gastric complications such as ulcers. Be careful if you have asthma, as anti-inflamatory drugs can make an asthma attack more likely.[9]
Part 2
Treating Major Tears
1Diagnose the injury. A third degree tear is a complete rupture. It typically results in a mass you can feel under the skin. This is because the muscle has been torn away from its "pulley system" and is now bunched up in a ball. These injuries are painful and heavily bruised. They cause difficulty with weight bearing or holding objects.[10] Some common third degree tears include:
- Gastrocnemius muscle or "calf" muscle tears. This usually occurs in men between the ages of 40-50, often while playing tennis. It is caused by a sudden jumping or running movement, resulting in severe pain that feels like a hit or kick in the calf. You will feel a deformity/mass of the calf and severe pain, swelling and bruising.[11]
- Biceps Femoris or hamstring tears. These tears are common among runners. Symptoms include a significant mass in the area, bruising, and severe pain. Someone with a serious hamstring tear usually can't stand on that leg only unassisted.[12]
- Biceps tears. These injuries are common in weightlifters. They occur while lifting a heavy weight. You will experience a sudden pain in the arm between elbow and shoulder with a muscle deformity or bulge in the upper arm. Other symptoms include loss of strength in that arm, and difficulty with range of motion at elbow. In some cases there will be an audible snap when the injury occurs.[13][14]
2Rule out other conditions. There are two conditions that are related to muscle tears, but are much more serious. If you believe you have one of these conditions, you will need immediate care.
- Compartment syndrome. If you experience severe pain with numbness and tingling, a pale limb, and a feeling of tightness, you should seek immediate medical attention.[15] Compartment syndrome is an orthopedic emergency that requires surgical treatment within hours. Otherwise, you may need to have the limb removed. If you have any of these symptoms it is important you tell your doctor right away. The blood from a tear can place internal pressure on blood vessels and nerves. This cuts off circulation as the pressure builds.
- Achilles tendon rupture. The Achilles tendon is located at the back of your ankle and calf.[16] It can be ruptured by vigorous exercise, especially in men over 30. If you experience pain along the back of your foot, especially when stretching your ankle, you may have a ruptured Achilles tendon. The condition requires complete immobilization and casting in flexion.
3Seek medical attention. For a third degree tear, seek treatment from a qualified healthcare professional.[17] Given that you have torn your muscle completely, you will not be able to move it.
- The procedure and recovery time necessary will vary based on the severity and location of the tear. For example, for a complete bicep tear, you'll need surgery with a recovery period of 4-6 months. Partial tears usually heal within 3-6 weeks.[18]
- Depending on tear, you may to see and orthopedist or other specialist.
Community Q&A
What is muscle strain?wikiHow ContributorMuscle strain can occur when you stretch or pull a muscle too far. It causes the muscle to tighten to protect itself from further injury and can be very painful.
What is compartment syndrome?wikiHow ContributorCompartment syndrome is when there is too much pressure within the muscles. This can cause decreased blood flow to the area, meaning a lack of oxygen and nutrient supply to the surrounding tissue.
How do you tear a muscle?wikiHow ContributorTearing a muscle often occurs when lifting heavy weights. But it can also happen from impact movements, such as running, and in sports where you change direction quickly. So if you're running towards the right side of a basketball court and quickly change direction, that puts tension on the Achilles heel, which can cause it to tear.
I pulled or tore a muscle in my bicep, but the pain didn't start until a few days after the injury. Should I go to the doctor or just ice it and rest?wikiHow ContributorIce it and rest, and you can also try wrapping it. If it gets worse, or if it doesn't improve after a couple days, you should go to the doctor.
- If you are a serious athlete, consider seeking medical attention for muscle injuries, even if they seem minor. A doctor may be able to provide tips for a faster recovery that gets you back in the game more quickly.
- If you have any reason to suspect you may have compartment syndrome, seek immediate medical attention. Failure to do so may lead to the loss of an arm or leg.

Well before Romney, Mormon founder ran for presidentBreaking News
For all the political hubbub over Mormonism, you might have thought Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman are the first Mormons to run for president.
In fact, 11 Latter-day Saints have campaigned for the White House, including the faith's founder, Joseph Smith.
A barrage of bullets cut short Smiths campaign in 1844. He was the first presidential candidate to be assassinated, according to historian Newell G. Bringhurst....
...A study of his short-lived campaign demonstrates that anti-Mormon sentiment is rooted deep in American history.
"Quite ordinary people were roused to levels of hatred and fear they never reached at any other time, writes historian Richard Lyman Bushman in Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling: A Cultural Biography of Mormonisms Founder.
Six months into his presidential campaign, Smith was murdered by an angry mob in Carthage, Ill. Some historians believe his White House run incited fears of a looming Mormon theocracy.
"It was not a hatred of the alien, writes Bushman. "It was more a fear of the familiar gone awry.
Then, as now, it was theological — not political — disagreements that agitated many of Mormonisms opponents, said Adam Christing, director of a documentary about Smiths campaign....

Delivering nucleic acids such as siRNA, mRNA, antisense agents, transcription factor decoys, and plasmid DNA offers a vast untapped potential for studying many new genetic factors for their relationship with various devastating human diseases. The barrier to the use of nucleic acids for the development of customized and specific treatments is safe, efficacious delivery of DNA.
Delivery method choice is an important factor that contributes to total transgene expression, level of throughput, and cell viability, which is especially critical in primary cells that are costly and difficult to obtain. Indeed, high cell viability becomes even more essential when transfection is carried out, in sensitive cell types, in vivo, or in ex vivo implanted cells.
Traditional means of carrying DNA into cells rely on cell membrane disruption such as electroporation or infection with viruses. Both of these have their own positive attributes and drawbacks but are generally not conducive to rapid high-throughput screening of multiple DNA constructs.
Other approaches relying on chemical agents such as lipids and polymers provide an improved means for high-throughput DNA screening in immortal cell lines, but few are designed with primary and sensitive cell types in mind.
Techulon has launched a new polymer-based transfection reagent, Glycofect™, which is designed specifically for DNA transfection in primary cells. Glycofect is a carbohydrate-containing polyamidoamine that binds with DNA of various sizes and forms positively charged nanoparticles called polyplexes. Glycofect has water-labile bonds that biodegrade during cellular uptake, enabling the release of DNA in a cell's perinuclear region for maximum gene expression.
Studies have indicated that Glycofect is preferentially uptaken by cells via a caveolae-mediated endocytotic route, which contributes to the high nuclear delivery. Glycofect has been tested with various reporter plasmids and labeled oligo DNA and is proving to be an effective tool to the cell therapy and molecular biology communities.
In this article, we employ various means of testing gene expression and cell viability for Glycofect and several other commercially available transfection reagents in primary neonatal human dermal fibroblasts (HDFn), a cell of high therapeutic importance for its use in skin grafts and for making induced pluripotent stem cells.
We compare gene expression of various reagents based on transgene luciferase activity. Further, we quantify gene expression on a per cell basis with enhanced green florescent protein expression, using both florescent microscopy and flow cytometry to quantify results. Finally, to quantify the amount of healthy cells remaining after transfection, we test the viability of these cells using both the MTT and BCA assays.

Mark Azadovsky
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mark Konstantinovich Azadovskii (Russian: Марк Константи́нович Азадо́вский; 18 December 1888 in Irkutsk – 24 November 1954 in Leningrad) was a Russian scholar of folk-tales and Russian literature. As the head of the Folklore department at Leningrad State University during Stalin's anticosmopolitan campaigns of 1948-1953, he was denounced and fired along with Boris Eikhenbaum, Viktor Zhirmunskii, and Grigorii Gukovskii. Their scholarly work was expunged from literary journals and their names erased from all indices, footnotes, and bibliographies. After his expulsion from Leningrad State University, Azadovskii began to suffer heart trouble, complications of which led to his death in 1954.[1]

Close up pics of the trailing truck are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jayhurst/3995387070/in/set-72157622490861128/
The Prototype
The locomotives of Union Pacific's 9000 class are the largest non-articulated steam engines in the world that were successfully operated. A total of eighty-eight of the these 4-12-2 locomotives were built by Alco between 1926 and 1930. The particular prototype represented by this moc is the 1st engine that was produced for the group, #9000. This engine, when delivered new from the factory, was unique from the rest of locomotives of the 9000 class in that it was equipped with an experimental BL Worthington feedwater heater, which was located on the fireman's side of the engine.
The twin water pumps that are prominently mounted on the smokebox front give the 9000's their distinctive look, and most of the engines in the class kept their water pumps in this location during their entire service life, although a handful did have their pumps removed from the smokebox area and relocated, one to each side of the boiler. Those particular waterpump-less smokebox 9000's were referred to by rail crews as "bald-faced 9's".
One feature of the 9000's, which was rarely seen on American railroads, is that the engine has a 3rd piston cylinder, valve gear, and drive rod set that is located in-between the two normal pistons, and underneath the boiler. This gives the 9000's a unique off-beat thundering sound while running- there are 6 beats for every full revolution of it's drive wheels instead of the normal 4 beat cadence that the much more common 2-pistoned engines have.
The Model
This Moc is powered by Power Functions. Two M-motors are located in the middle of the boiler, and are connected to the engine's wheel set at the 4th driver. The battery box and receiver are located in the front of the tender, with easy access for battery recharging/replacing made possible by the removable coal load that covers them.
The fully functional 3rd cylinder is modeled in Lego just as it is prototype-- even the axle spacing that exists between the 1st and 2nd drivers on the real 9000's was needed on the moc for the same reasons it is needed on full size engine: in order for the center piston's driverod to clear the 1st driver's axle since the center piston's driverod is connected to, and rotates around, the crankshaft-shaped axle of the 2nd driver. Creating a 4-wheeled leading truck that cleared the 2 outside pistons during corning, while still avoiding the rotating and moving, center-mounted 3rd driverod was the biggest challenge in building this moc.
The extra long, fixed wheelbase of the 4-12-2 made getting the engine to round the very sharp curve radius of Lego track quite the challenge. A specially designed trailing truck that pivots as normal, but additionally, allows the axle to slide sideways independently of the trailing truck's frame while the engine is cornering was necessary. An additional complication to the trailing truck is that the wiring harness that travels from the engine's motors to the tender's receiver had to be attached to it, and the wiring harness moves in concert with the frame of the trailing truck. This was done to accommodate the wide swinging cab of the engine, and allow the wiring to clear the bottom of the firebox during corning.
The cylindrical-shaped Vanderbilt tender was a fun part of the moc to build, as I have only ever modeled the standard box-tank type tenders before this moc.

Substance Abuse and Addiction Health Center
Drug Abuse and Dependence - Treatment
Treatment for drug abuse or dependence usually includes group therapy, one or more types of counseling, and drug education. A 12-step program is often part of treatment and continues afterward as part of your recovery.
Treatment doesn't just deal with drugs. It helps you take control of your life so you don't have to depend on drugs. You'll learn good reasons to quit drugs. Staying drug-free is a lifelong process that takes commitment and effort.
Seeking treatment
You might start with your family doctor, or your doctor may recommend that you enter a treatment facility. A friend could bring you to a self-help group, such as Narcotics Anonymous, or you might walk into a clinic that deals with drug abuse.
You may have a treatment team to help you. This team may include a psychologist or psychiatrist, counselors, doctors, social workers, nurses, and a case manager. A case manager helps plan and manage your treatment.
You may be asked questions about your drug use, health problems, work, and living situation. Be open and honest to get the best treatment possible. Your team may write a plan, which includes your treatment goals and ways to reach those goals. This helps you stay on track.
Your doctor may decide you need medical care to manage withdrawal symptoms when you first quit using drugs. This is sometimes called detoxification, or detox.
People who are dependent on drugs often have to go to a hospital or treatment facility. Detox usually is done under the care of a doctor, because withdrawal can be dangerous without medical care. A doctor may prescribe medicines to help with withdrawal symptoms.
Treatment for a drug problem usually involves one or more types of therapy.
- In group therapy, you talk about your recovery with other people who are trying to quit.
- In cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), you learn to change the thoughts and actions that make you more likely to use drugs.
- With motivational interviewing (MI), you resolve mixed feelings you have about quitting and getting treatment.
- Motivational enhancement therapy (MET) uses motivational interviewing to help you find motivation to quit and get you started toward recovery.
- Couples or family counseling can help you to stop using drugs, stay drug-free, and improve your relationships with your partner and family.
Treatment usually includes going to a support group, such as going to Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings. Your family members might also want to attend a support group such as Nar-Anon.

Chimpanzee Enrichment
Enrichment | Termite Mounds | Painting | Parties
After so many years of enduring a barren, lonely, and in some cases painful existence, Save the Chimps is committed to providing the chimpanzees with the best retirement possible. In short, we want them to be happy and enjoy life. One way in which we ensure the chimpanzees have a great day, every day, is through enrichment.
What is Enrichment?
Save the Chimps enriches the chimpanzees' lives to promote physical activity, mental stimulation, and play to improve the chimpanzees' well-being. When most people think of "enrichment," they think of puzzles and devices that require problem solving, or novel objects that pique the chimpanzees' curiosity. However, enrichment includes everything from the friendship of other chimpanzees to the climbing structures on the chimpanzees' islands, from interaction with loving caregivers to the excitement of a holiday party. Anything that the chimpanzees enjoy or find interesting can be considered enrichment.
Why is Enrichment So Important?
In the wild, chimpanzees must navigate a complex physical and social environment in order to survive. Nature has equipped chimpanzees with a big brains and powerful bodies to handle all of the challenges they might encounter. In captivity, however, chimpanzees experience a far simpler and more static environment than their minds and bodies are designed for. They may grow bored, develop abnormal behaviors, or even be driven to the brink of madness. Enrichment encourages captive chimpanzees to be active and problem solve. Enrichment also provides variety, choice, comfort, and fun for the chimpanzees. The result is happier and more active chimpanzees.
Enrichment in Action
Please enjoy the following photo slide show and the videos below that show our staff and volunteers creating and the chimpanzees enjoying just a few of the many forms of enrichment we provide!
Some of the chimps' favorite items:
Iris: blankets—she makes a giant, cozy nest every night!
Comet: toys of all kinds—this curious lady enjoys playing with new things!
Sophie: big stuffed toys—she loves to carry them on her back!
Cheetah: pretzels—he loves to forage for them in puzzle feeders!
Luke: hammocks and mirrors—he loves to lounge in a hammock gazing at his handsome face in a mirror!
Tinker and Bell: Kong toys—this mother and daughter pair never say no to frozen oatmeal in a Kong!
Garrey: kiddie pools—nothing is more fun than bobbing for diced apples!
Rufus: grapes—he loves to forage for juicy grapes scattered all over his island!
Garfield: hardhats—he likes to use them as bowls, and they are virtually unbreakable!
Indie: foraging boards—she works hard to extract all of the mashed banana and sunflower seeds!
Sarah: fingerpaint—she loves to splatter the paint anywhere and everywhere!
Ridge: raisin boards—he loves the challenge of removing raisins from the holes in these plastic bricks!
Teá: applesauce—she is a master at dipping for the applesauce hidden inside a "termite" mound

"We give mothers the clean delivery kits when they come for antenatal care and health education at the hospital," explains Nabatanzi Cissy, a UNFPA-supported international midwife working at Maridi Hospital in Western Equatoria State, South Sudan. "Although we encourage them to come to deliver at the hospital, many still prefer to deliver at home, or cannot make it to the hospital on time, so end up giving birth on the way. In that case, it is good they have a delivery kit with them, because the kits [protect] the mother and the baby from infections."
The world's newest nation, South Sudan, is the most dangerous place on earth to give birth. One out of seven mothers risks dying from complications related to one of her many pregnancies. Because early marriage is common and contraceptive prevalence is only 3.5 per cent, girls start giving birth in their teens and average more than seven children each.
Decades of bitter conflict, widespread poverty, neglect and a scarcity of roads and other infrastructure have left the weak health system in a continued state of crisis. South Sudan has just 100 midwives and fewer than 500 doctors to cover a population of 8.3 million people. Midwives like Nabatanzi must cover long distances to reach women with life-saving care – and if a woman is too far from a health facility, may be required to assist the delivery on the spot with a clean delivery kit from UNFPA.
UNFPA moves quickly to respond to natural disasters and conflicts, but it also helps stricken communities like those in South Sudan as they transition from an acute emergency to the rebuilding phase.
UNFPA is working with South Sudan's Ministry of Health to improve skilled attendance at birth by training midwives and assisting the new government to set up basic health systems. While the long-term recovery process moves forward, the Fund will continue to provide clean delivery kits to displaced or vulnerable communities as an immediate intervention to help make pregnancy clean and safer.
Please support UNFPA's work in recovering communities like those in South Sudan. With your assistance, UNFPA can continue to ensure that pregnant women who face the highest maternal mortality rate in the world (2,054 women die for every 100,000 live births) give birth in a clean environment, and that newborns, and this newborn nation, begin life with the promise of a better future.

i was really bummed with aunt flo showed her evil face today while i was at work. i work at a day care and i have 9 1yr olds all day all by myself. i'm lucky if i get a break to pee! i'm thinking about quiting my job for a year to try to conceive. i'm so stressed at work because the doctors ordered that i'm not supposed to lift over 10lbs while pregnant and stay off my feet as much as possible so it really stresses me out when i'm at work and thinking to myself "what if i'm pregnant? what if i lose another one because i picked up this 20lb kid?'' and thoughts like that. and plus every month i'm telling my boss that i'm planning on quiting if i get my bfp this month. i've said that so much that i don't think she believes it any more. last year when i had gotten preggo my doctor ordered me to not lift 10lbs and stay off my feet but ofcourse my boss needed me to finish out the week. well by the end of my last week at work my numbers had dropped and doctor told me to expect to mc thru the weekend. so i have to quit immediatly when i get preggo this time. no chances! anyways do you think i should quit? my job isn't a neccessity just gives us some spending money.
this month i'm trying lydia pinkhams herbal compound and i'm super excited! it says there is a baby with every bottle i hope that saying is true! TIA ladies for being there for me!

"Teatro de Santa Ana" Santa Ana Things to Do Tip by MalenaN
Santa Ana Things to Do: 13 reviews and 22 photos
The mint green theatre is standing on the north side of Parque Libertad. It is built in a renaissanse style and It was inaugurated in February 1910. On the opening night an Italian opera company performed with the opera Rigoletto. The interior was grand with marble staircases, parquet floors and stained glass windows.
Only 23 years later it was converted into a movie and its original glory was lost. But since 1979 much of it has now been restored.
During the day, Monday - Friday, the theatre is open between 8 - 12 and 14 - 18. I was in the area around lunchtime so the theatre was unfortunately closed and I could only admire the exterior. Sometimes there are concerts and plays performed in the evenings.

Mark Wahlberg has finally made it official! The actor and his longtime girlfriend, model Rhea Durham, tied the knot on Saturday, PEOPLE has confirmed.
The couple, who have three children – Ella Rae, 5, Michael, 3, and 10-month-old Brendan Joseph – were married Saturday in an intimate and romantic ceremony attended by their children and about 12 close friends and family at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Beverly Hills.
Wahlberg donned a dark suit and the bride wore a white strapless Marchesa dress with silver embroidery and a Neil Lane diamond-and-platinum cushion-cut ring complemented by a diamond bracelet and earrings. "She looked like a princess and beyond stunning. Mark looked ecstatic," says an eyewitness shortly after the ceremony, which lasted for about 45 minutes in the church, which was decorated with candles and pink and light purple roses.
The groom-to-be, 38, spent a quiet pre-wedding moment alone at the church Friday afternoon. Wahlberg, looking happy and relaxed, sat down in the front row before returning home to his Beverly Hills home for a small gathering.
As for adding more children to their brood? "I'm the youngest of nine," Wahlberg said, adding that the final count will be "however many Mom wants to have."
Wahlberg, who is the executive producer of HBO's hit show Entourage, will next star in the Peter Jackson-directed feature film The Lovely Bones opposite Rachel Weisz, in theaters on December 11.

A guy with his legs in the air being sodomized by persons with penises is something you're more likely to see in gay porn. Its appeal is limited.

Defense Acquisitions:
DOD's Requirements Determination Process Has Not Been Effective in Prioritizing Joint Capabilities
GAO-08-1060: Published: Sep 25, 2008. Publicly Released: Sep 25, 2008.

Increasing combat demands and fiscal constraints make it critical for the Department of Defense (DOD) to ensure that its weapon system investments not only meet the needs of the warfighter, but make the most efficient use of available resources. GAO's past work has shown that achieving this balance has been a challenge and weapon programs have often experienced cost growth and delayed delivery to the warfighter. In 2003, DOD implemented the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) to prioritize and ensure that the warfighter's most essential needs are met. In response to Senate Report 109-69, GAO reported in March 2007 that DOD lacks an effective approach to balance its weapon system investments with available resources. This follow-on report focuses on (1) whether the JCIDS process has achieved its objective to prioritize joint warfighting needs and (2) factors that have affected DOD's ability to effectively implement JCIDS. To conduct its work, GAO reviewed JCIDS guidance and capability documents and budgetary and programming data on major weapon systems, and interviewed DOD officials.
The JCIDS process has not yet been effective in identifying and prioritizing warfighting needs from a joint, departmentwide perspective. GAO reviewed JCIDS documentation related to proposals for new capabilities and found that most--almost 70 percent--were sponsored by the military services, with little involvement from the joint community--including the combatant commands (COCOMs), which are largely responsible for planning and carrying out military operations. By continuing to rely on capability proposals that lack a joint perspective, DOD may be losing opportunities to improve joint warfighting capabilities and reduce the duplication of capabilities in some areas. In addition, virtually all capability proposals that have gone through the JCIDS process since 2003 have been validated--or approved. DOD continues to have a portfolio with more programs than available resources can support. For example, the remaining costs for major weapon system programs in DOD's portfolio went from being about four times greater to almost six times greater than annual funding available during fiscal year 2000 through 2007. The JCIDS process has also proven to be lengthy--taking on average up to 10 months to validate a need--which further undermines efforts to effectively respond to the needs of the warfighter, especially those that are near-term. DOD lacks an analytical approach to prioritize joint capability needs and determine the relative importance of capability proposals submitted to the JCIDS process. Further, the functional capabilities boards, which were established to manage the JCIDS process and facilitate the prioritization of needs, have not been staffed or resourced to effectively carry out these duties. Instead, the military services retain most of DOD's analytical capacity and resources for requirements development. The Joint Staff recently initiated a project to capture the near-, mid-, and long-term needs of the services and other defense components, and to synthesize them with the needs of the COCOMs. However, DOD officials told us that determining how best to integrate COCOM and service capability perspectives will be challenging because of differences in roles, missions, and time frames. Efforts have also begun to streamline the process and reduce the time it takes to validate proposals.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: DOD partially concurred with this recommendation and revised both the JCIDS instruction and the associated guidance to specifically address the joint prioritization of capability needs. In January 2012, the JROC updated its operating manual and required that its subordinate bodies - the Functional Capabilities Boards - develop joint priorities for validated capability requirements, which could be used to inform DOD's annual program and budget review. The updated manual also created distinct processes for urgent (near-term) and emergent (mid-term) operational needs. Specifically, it established that urgent operational needs - related to ongoing contingency operations - are expected to be addressed within two years, and that emergent operational needs - related to anticipated contingency operations - are expected to be addressed within five years. The updated manual also established that urgent operational needs shall be staffed for validation within 15 calendar days, and that emergent operational needs shall be staffed for validation within 31 calendar days.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Defense should direct the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to develop an analytic approach within JCIDS to better prioritize and balance the capability needs of the military services, COCOMs, and other defense components. The Joint Staff should consider whether current efforts--particularly, the capabilities prioritization project--should be adopted as a framework for this approach. The approach should also establish appropriate criteria and measures for identifying capability gaps and determining the relative importance of near-, mid-, and long-term capability needs. Ultimately, the approach should provide a means to review and validate proposals more efficiently and ensure that the most important capability needs of the department are being addressed.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: DOD concurred with this recommendation, but asserted that the resources currently allocated for joint capabilities development planning are appropriate. DOD also has several initiatives to strengthen the involvement of the joint community in determining capability needs. For example, in September 2008, the JROC began to experiment with delegation of Joint Capability Board (JCB) requirements validation responsibility to functional combatant commands (COCOMS). Under this experiment, functional COCOMS are responsible for evaluating capabilities within their Joint Capability Area portfolios and, when appropriate, make recommendations to the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) regarding capability validation. Also, in October 2008, the JROC delegated JCB authority for command and control capabilities to Joint Forces Command. In 2009, DOD delegated responsibility for logistics topics to U.S. Transportation Command and authority for the management and approval of most special operations-specific capability documents to the U.S. Special Operations Command.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Defense should determine and allocate appropriate resources for joint capabilities development planning. In so doing, the Secretary should consider whether the responsibility and capacity of the COCOMs and FCBs to conduct joint capabilities development planning should be increased, whether one or more of the functional COCOMs should be given the responsibility and capacity to conduct joint capabilities development planning, and whether resources currently residing within the military services for capabilities development planning should be shifted to the COCOMs and FCBs.

Understanding Endometrial Cancer -- Symptoms
In this article
What Are the Symptoms of Endometrial Cancer?
Some women with endometrial cancer have no symptoms until the disease has spread to other organs. But endometrial cancer is usually diagnosed by the appearance of symptoms -- like vaginal bleeding -- as the cancer begins to grow. The most likely symptoms are:
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge, which occurs in nine out of 10 women with endometrial cancer. Before menopause, this means unusually heavy irregular menstrual periods or bleeding between periods. After a woman enters menopause, this means any vaginal bleeding, unless she is on hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Even though HRT may cause vaginal bleeding in postmenopausal women, the first episodes of any such bleeding should be checked by a doctor to make sure that it is not due to endometrial cancer. However, only 15% of women with postmenopausal bleeding will have endometrial cancer.
- Vaginal discharge that may range from pink and watery to thick, brown, and foul smelling.
- Difficult or painful urination.
- An enlarged uterus, detectable during a pelvic exam.
- Pain during intercourse.
- Unexpected weight loss.
- Weakness and pain in the lower abdomen, back, or legs. This happens when the cancer has spread to other organs.

Call Your Doctor About Endometrial Cancer If:
You experience abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge. Abnormal bleeding, though sometimes a symptom of menopause, should be brought to your doctor's attention immediately. Endometrial cancer usually doesn't occur before menopause, but it can appear around the time menopause begins and during the menopausal transition.

The fight for gender equality crosses a new surprising boundary
CONSUMER INSIGHT - Implications - Though the fight for gender equality has made huge bounds in the last few years, women are still under-earning their male counterparts. An important step to take in the evolution of feminism is the inclusion of men in the conversation. This shows a shift in what it means to be a feminist, as well as a shift in what it means to be a man. [More]

Skip to comments.King Herod is Undergoing an Odd Reinvention
Posted on 04/12/2013 7:26:15 AM PDT by marshmallow
Curators of a blockbuster exhibition have sought to sanitise his reputation
Herod has become a new Jewish super-hero in Jerusalem. This elevation, which has come about since the unearthing of his tomb in 2007, comes as a shock for most Christians. Most of us are horrified by Matthews account in the New Testament, which tells how this tyrannical king, fearful of a competitor after the birth of Jesus, ordered the Massacre of the Innocents. A large number of Jews have reviled him for other reasons for collaborating with the Romans and the murder of his Jewish wife, Marianne, his two half-Jewish sons, plus a great many rabbis.
Resentment against him was also caused by this kings ancestry. According to one synagogue-attending friend: Herod was Arab by descent. His mother was a Nabatean from Petra, now part of Jordan. His father was from southern Palestine, an Edomite who converted to Judaism.
But the new appreciation of Herod is clear to see. First, plans were announced last January for a monumental replica of his tomb at Herodium, the arid hilltop in the West Bank, where he had been buried in 4 BC. This proposed 75ft high construction, part of the Israeli Prime Ministers Office of National Heritage Sites Project, would be as lofty as an eight-storey building and visible from Jerusalem. Objections are presently being assessed.
Second, the exhibition Herod the Great: The Kings Final Journey at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem is drawing such crowds that I had to queue on the two occasions I visited it. The quarter of an acre of fascinating exhibits includes finds from Jerusalem, Herodium and Jericho, including the masonry and sarcophagus thought to have contained the royal body. There are some 30 tons of material and 250 artefacts from Herodium alone, plus much from Jericho.....
(Excerpt) Read more at catholicherald.co.uk ...
The killing of innocent babies by Herod is considered a great accomplishment by today's liberals.
He's a fascinating despot, but he was a vile guy, and I don't know of any Israelis who like him -— other than as a significant part of out history.
He was a fake convert.
He persecuted faithful Jews.
He was a puppet of Rome at times and then a stupid opposer at others.
He was a murderer.
In fact, on one point Jewish people and Christians of 2,000 years ago agreed was he was an animal for his murder of John, called "John the Baptist" by Christians, and was punished by this murder by the defeat of his armies.
Arise, shine; for Thy light has come. Isaiah 60:1
The "Herod" in Acts 12 is Herod Agrippa, the grandson of Herod the Great.
That would be Herod Antipas, tetrarch of Galilee, son of King Herod the Great. There are several "Herods" mentioned in the NT, all from the same family, all bad guys.
Different Herod, but point well taken.
Sorry to pile on. Nevermind.
Ah, as you could guess, my knowledge of Christianity is exceedingly weak, except for I can spot American Baptist Tourists in wine country because they drink when touring alone/with their family and don't drink when in packs.
As to the baby killing thing, I believe it is a kings right to decide what to do with his bodies. /sarcasm
....Yet he was called "great". Go figure.
Bible Archaeology Review magazine has a nice treatment of Ehud Netzer's discovery of Harod's tomb at Herodium. Nov 14, 2011 issue:
More BAR articles:
Google Maps location of Herodium / Herodyon:
Better to be Herod's pig than his subject, other than that he was a great guy.
Sounds like today's LIBERALS...
Today's Herrod is King Obamo the Marxist
Today's Massacre of Innocents is ABORTION... which killed more than Herrod did!!
Wrong! Relative to what we have Herod was great.
Franco Zeffirelli's depiction of the Killing of the Innocents still brings tears to my eyes. The scene with the Palace Soldier chasing the mother carrying her baby son is horrifying.
Say what you want about Herod there's still ONLY 2 "Greats" in the bible, Herod and Cyrus...
...and that's the way it is.
The media wouldn't even report it, unless he used an "assault weapon" to do it.
In all fairness, the historical accounts of Herod are very complex, and very mixed as far as "good" or "bad" for Israel. This is not unexpected, as he reigned for a very long time, by the standards of the time.
If you read his biography, there are any number of intrigues, alliances and animosities, and the histories of the period are anything but accurate, filled with obvious bias and character assassination, all around.
And remember, this was a very small place in a very large empire. Christianity was formative, so few at the time even took notice of it, as such.
Even a profound incident, such as the slaughter of the innocents, based on the population at the time, was likely to have been 20 or fewer total babies. This at a time when wholesale butchery ordered by kings was not uncommon.
In any event, it will be interesting to all to see what the archaeologists discover.
Today's Demoncrat party is moving towards his accomplishment of port-birth abortion in the 4th, 5th, 6th, and further trimesters!
Although today's numbers dwarf Herod's murders.
The ancient Greek pun is actually better his pig than his son (he killed most of his sons).
BTW—the pun was first made by Caesar Augustus upon hearing that Herod had executed another of his sons.
What am I missing here? If this Herod was the same King Herod who was responsible for the slaughter of the Holy Innocents, how could he have been buried 4 years before the birth of Christ? It seems to me that he would have had to have died some time in AD? Maybe I'm just confused about the events, and if so, I'd hope you could clear it up for me. Perhaps the tomb that was uncovered was that of his father, who was also a Herod.
How do you expect me to know that? It happened before I was born.
You can't call him a fake convert as he didn't convert but was born into Judaism. Arguably, of course, he was not a believing Jew by any means
Even if you had been alive at the time, unless you knew Greek the precise phrasing wasn't that funny. Of course, when you're Caesar, everyone laughs at your jokes anyway, so it wouldn't really have mattered at the time.
"First, plans were announced last January for a monumental replica of his tomb at Herodium, the arid hilltop in the West Bank, where he had been buried in 4 BC. This proposed 75ft high construction, part of the Israeli Prime Ministers Office of National Heritage Sites Project, would be as lofty as an eight-storey building and visible from Jerusalem."
In the name of ecumenism and interreligious dialogue, I'm pretty sure Rome will send a representative. Perhaps they'll pull the apostate, Cardinal Kasper, out of retirement. After all, Kasper questions the Resurrection of Christ.
Not sure where you are getting I said he was an arab.
Not a Jew, by all reliable accounts.
But do note that the Western Wall is part of the temple complex that Herod rebuilt. He put up an external show of piety in order to cement his position as King of the Jews (it didn't seem to work then or now...)
It is kind of ironic that the Maccabbees forcibly converted the Idumeans and then one of the Idumeans overthrew the Maccabees
It's also ironic that the Idumeans as a nation died in the defence of Jerusalem in 69 AD
He did build some nice buildings, like all really good dictators.
Herod, Stalin, Hitler, FDR, Obama like government buildings.
Of course, like most dictators, he was a Keneysian (sp?) government spender as his prefered form of economic control. Herod taxed hard and gave special contracts to favorable crafts (literally trade unions of the day).
Re: the Maccabeans, they started off awesome and then went to Hell. People are like that, absent G-d. Even Jews. Or perhaps, especially Jews.
We Jews, as a people, have a dangerous vacuum that is designed to be filled with G-d, and when we reject it, we go bad in the most spectacular ways, probably worse that any people in the world.*
* I opined that in a Chabad Center, and they agreed with me. I opined that in a JCC and was accused of "being a f-—ing Israeli."
i would challenge that "probably worse" -- there were bad Jews, but in the past 200 I can only think of Trotsky (Marx wasn't a Jew -- he was only genetically on his father's side and his father had converted) and Trotsky, for all the evil that he did in co-opting the Tsarist army to the Bolshevik cause, was not a monster in the same mold as Stalin...

Morty's Gengar
this wiki
This Gengar is a ghost/poison-type Pokémon owned by Morty.
Gengar was usually seen outside its Poké Ball. It liked to play tricks on people but was loyal to its trainer. Gengar was used to defeat Team Rocket when they tried to steal Ash's Pikachu.
Morty later used Gengar during his Gym battle with Ash. Gengar battled Ash's Noctowl and displayed the ability to attack even while it was invisible. While Noctowl desperately avoided Gengar's Night Shade attacks, Ash came up with an idea and ordered Noctowl to send its newly learned Confusion through the whole gym. Noctowl then used Foresight to make Gengar solid. Gengar tried to counter with Shadow Ball but Noctowl was too fast and slammed into the Ghost Pokémon with a Tackle attack, defeating Gengar.
Gengar was also seen when it helped to find the crystal bells that Team Rocket had stolen.

text: It doesn't take much to rev up your little one's motor — and keep it going (and going) for hours. That's why it's wise to have a bunch of indoor activities for toddlers at the ready when a drenching rain or arctic blast keeps you and your energizer bunny housebound. Sure, reading to a toddler or building block skyscrapers with him are terrific quiet activities, but you really want to burn off that excess energy, too, or you'll have a cranky toddler on your hands come nightfall. And these rainy day games have an extra bonus: Not only will they get your little guy moving and help him practice his newfound toddler motor skills, but you'll burn off some calories, too.

My Lower Back Hurts When I Walk, Jog or Run - Pain Control Brace in Chicago, Lincoln Park & Evanston
If you have pain when you run, then it is time to consider reading this article. This free information can help you reduce your pain before, during or after a run.
Is it there before and after the run as well?
1.) A Common Back Problem
Lower back pain is fairly common in most individuals at some point in their life. It seems to be a common ailment that changes the way people live, when you have it. However, if you have felt this pain when they are running or exercising the cause may be more serious. If you ever wondered how or why you lower back hurts when you run there could be several important reasons why. This article can not diagnose your pain, but it can help you to know valuable treatment options that can help you reduce and control the pain. Read on for more information that can really help you.
2.) Haulting Your Exercise Routine - Back Pain
If having lower back pain has stopped your daily exercise or routine, than you can find out how to get back on track and start enjoying your workout again. If you are experience lower back issues when you run, the important thing is not necessarily to stop exercising, but find a way where you can enjoy jogging and not have lower back issues (obviously, it is a good idea to make sure your doctor is fine with you exercising first).
One of the reasons that individuals' lower back hurts when they run is not stretching before going for a run or jog. The most important muscles to stretch before exercising are your neck, the core of your body, and your knees and legs. By stretching your whole body by touching your toes, you will help prevent soreness in your lower back (unless you have a fracture or herniated disc).
3.) Some Common Sense Ideas When Running
Using padded insoles for your shoes have known to prevent some back issues. Investing in good running shoes can be a wise move. Different running shoes are made for different surfaces; meaning if you are running on pavement track, or even grass you might want to try a different shoe brand that is meant for running on that particular surface. One simple issue that could be the reason is that you are pushing yourself too much in your run. Try running about half as long as you did when your lower back pain started flaring up and seeing if this makes a difference. If after trying all these methods and your pain does not decrease, you may wish to consult a doctor.
4.) Back Support
Chances are that your back does not just start hurting as a result of running every time. You may have this pain before and after a run as well. If this is the case, then you will want to consider using a lower back support in many of your daily activities. Why? - You may have thought, I will never where one of those things! - However, you will be shocked at how they can help to provide support, remain hidden to others if you wear a t-shirt, and can help reduce your pain rather quickly. - They can also help facilitate the healing process for you because they will remind you not to make movements that will hurt you, or further your injury level. This is key and a back brace can be a great asset to you, in this way alone!
Note: When getting a back support make sure to visit your local, licensed orthotist. These individuals are brace specialists and can bill your insurance for the brace as well. They are the ones that should provide you with medical advice on bracing.

The magnetization reversal mechanism of fine cylindrical nickel particles which were electrodeposited in micropores of anodic oxidized aluminum was investigated. The maximum coercive force was observed at the easy direction of magnetization. The anisotropy field, rotational hysteresis loss, and nucleation field were measured by means of a torque magnetometer. Experimental results can be explained by the reversal model of "chain of spheres" with both fanning and parallel rotation mechanisms.

More income doesn't necessarily make you a better money manager. Ask Michael Jackson.

Government Pension Fund Global (GPFG)
Large state revenues from the petroleum activities have resulted in substantial financial assets in the GPFG. The Fund was established in 1990 as a fiscal policy tool to underpin long-term considerations in the phasing in of petroleum revenues into the Norwegian economy. Long-term, sound management of the Fund helps to ensure that both present and future generations can benefit from Norway's petroleum wealth.
Governance framework
The Storting has, in the Government Pension Fund Act, made the Ministry of Finance responsible for the management of the Fund. Operational management of the GPFG is carried out by Norges Bank. The Ministry has issued provisions on Norges Bank's management in a separate mandate.
Investment Strategy
The GPFG is an instrument for general saving and does not have clearly defined future liabilities. The capital is in its entirety invested abroad in foreign currency. The investment objective is to maximise the purchasing power of the fund capital, given a moderate level of risk. The adoption of responsible investment practices supports this objective.
Strategic Benchmark Index
The investment strategy for the GPFG is expressed through the composition of the Fund's strategic benchmark index. The Fund's benchmark index is based on leading, easily accessible indices provided by FTSE, Barclays and IPD, respectively.
