HOOVER CONFERENCE ATTENDED BY BRY N MAWR DELEGATES COLORFUL PAGEANT USHERS IN FIFTH BRYN MAWR MAY-DAY Rain on Saturday Did Not Prevent Large Attendance on Monday FOUNDER8 LECTURE ON ELIZABETH FRYE GIVEN BY RUFUS JONES Mr. Hoover Sasaki W. Worcester. 21, Reports for B. M. Hoover Clue Winifred Worcester, '21, and Ann Fra- zer, '23, represented the Bryn Mawr Hoover Club at the Conference of Col- lege Clubs, held May 1 at the Biltmore, in New York, under auspices of the na- tional Hoover Republican Club. The purpose of the meeting, which was at- tended by delegates from 21 colleges, was to crystalize sentiment and urge local work. Mr. Hoover addressed the meeting on the issues of the campaign and answered questions, stressing the importance of focussing public attention on the read- justment of agricultural, industrial and financial conditions in the United States, and on participation in the I.eaRue of Nations. Reports on the experience and plans of the various college Hoover Clubs were presented and discussed by dele- gates; Miss Worcester spoke for Bryn Mawr. The reports indicated that sen- timent is already strong for Mr. Hoover and that he would have a majority, were a vote taken at this time. The central com- mittee urged the Hoover clubs to spread propaganda and suggested variou- meth- ods. A merry pageant of four centuries ago passed through Pembroke Arch last Friday at 2.30, when the flare of the heralds' trum- pets announced the approach of Queen Bess and her Court. Stalwart beefeaters held back the rabble and made way for the richly caparisoned horses of Robin Hood and his band. Following the ox-drawn cart which carried the garlanded May pole, came the joyous peasantry. Morris men, shep- herds, milkmaids, and tumblers, danced and frolicked to the jingling tunes played by the bands. Flower-trimmed floats bearing the gorgeously costumed casts of the plays, won loud applause from the spectators. The procession wound around behind Merion and Radnor and up Senior Row, and, swarming over the green, cheered the May pole as it was raised. Amid loud hur- rahs Robin Hood led Maid Marian. Eliza- beth Vincent '23, up to the bower under the center May pole, and crowned her Queen of the May. After the ceremony the crowd scattered over the green, and the May pole revels began. Shouts of "God save Queen Bos' and "Long live his excellency, the Governor of the Commonwealth." turned attention to Governor Sproul. Saying that he disliked "to interrupt the revels of the beefeaters and the bewitching witche--," Governor Sproul made a short plea for practical gratitude towards Bryn Mawr for all it has done. After his talk, the crowd dispersed to the different outdoor pla> I. Rain on Saturday Stops Performance A hard shower in the middle of the after- noon sent most of the audience indoors for tea, but the plays continued uninterrupted. On Saturday a steady downpour prevented any celebration except a tea in the gymna- sium in honor of Mary Roberts Rinehart. Besides a speech from Mrs. Rinehart, parts of several plays and a few dances were given for entertainment, and later in the afternoon, when the sun came out, a short performance of Robin Hood took place behind Radnor. May Day was repeated on Monday be- fore a larger crowd than the one Friday, Betty Scott '23 being crowned Queen in place of Elizabeth Vincent, who did not lake part in the pageant on account of the death of her grandfather, Bishop Vincent. The dancing on the green continued all afternoon. There the sweeps with smudged faces skipped out for their yearly play under the sun. Milkmaids, with garlanded pails, coquetted with their swains, and the Morris men jingled their way to the favor of peasants and audiences alike. The tumblers won such applause by their ceaseless activity and their technique, that they were not allowed to leave until the sight of the bear drove them away in fright. The bear herself was less ferocious than good-natured, considering the heat, and undoubtedly a financial success. The village idiot, never for an instant forgot her part, and served to fill in all the quiet gaps. Under a vacant stare, this year's European Fellow hid her identity so completely that one solicitous spectator wondered that such a girl could be kept in college. Staged among the spreading maples on the terrace, which forms a natural stage above the upper hockey field, "Robin Hood" was acted with a success even greater than in other years. The atmosphere of the green-wood was created in a large part by the effective and harmonious costuming, and by the easy and convincing by-play of "Robin Hood's" men. Dr. Howard Fur- ness, the noted critic of Shakespearean lit- erature, declared that "Robin Hood" was one of the best outdoor performances he had seen anywhere. The effect of an ever- moving pageant was given, Dr. Fumess said, by the fine and spirited acting of the merry men. L. Kellogg '20, in the title part, played a bold and winning outlaw, putting much grace and personality into her interpreta- tion. Maid Marian, played by E. Vincent '23, was ideal both in manner and appear- ance. Masques Draw Crowd toICIolsters Color was the keynote of the two masques given with the arched side of the Cloisters U I background. In "A Hue and Cry after Cupid," Venus, E. Taylor '21, and the three Graces, in remarkably beautiful costumes, and attended by light footed Cupids, chil- dren from the Model School, were espe- cially applauded. The rich coloring of Hymen and his train of priestesses in a frieze across the back, made an effective contrast to Vulcan and the intense blue Zodiacs. "The Masque of Flowers was one of the high lights of the afternoon," said the Phil- adelphia Public Ledger. Silenus and his tram, E. Boswell '21 as Spring, J. Boynton '20 and H. Zinnscr '20 as Gallus and the North Wind in brilliant costumes kept the (Continued on Page 2) Pay Trifcato to Dr. Joseph Taylor Rufus M. Jones, head of the Board of Trustees of Bryn Mawr College, gave the Founders' Lecture on Elizabeth Frye in Taylor Hall last Tuesday evening. "Since the alumnae are raising an Eliza- beth Frye Memorial Fund, it seems par- ticularly suitable to make her the sub- ject of my lecture," he said. Once in four years the college pays tribute to the memory of Dr. Taylor, the founder of Bryn Mawr. Elizabeth Frye was marked by beauty and grace, and had notable gifts of mind. William Savory, of Philadelphia, speak- ing in meeting one day, made a deep im- pression on her. From that day she abandoned her gaiety and became a se- rious Quaker, turning from a sceptic to a firm believer. As she herself says 30 years later: "William Savory was the casting die in my life." On a visit to London, Elizabeth Frye went to Newgate Prison and was moved by the conditions she found there. She began her great work by visiting the poor, adopting a girt, and training chil- dren, "Betsy's imps" as her sisters call- ed them. Soon after, she married Joseph Frye after a great mental struggle, for her "most anxious wish was not to hin- der her spiritual welfare." She sought the "thorny path," and in 1803 she began her work of reform among the women prisoners in Newgate. She founded a school for the children in Newgate, and a Society of Friends for the improvement of the women. Her success was great, and the woman's ward which had been known as "the hell above earth," became a model of propriety. Later her field of work widened, touch- ing all conditions. She even induced the government to the transportation of prisoners to New South Wales. As a result her fame was widespread and she exerted a beneficial influence on the Eu- ropean rulers. But it is for her work among the women of Newgate that she received her greatest name. MENDELSSOHN CLUB TO GIVE CONCERT FOR ENDOWMENT FUND ENDOWMENT OVER A MILLION SAYS MRS.

Team Venezuela generous to Hall of Fame after loss in Classic
By Brad Horn
As Hall of Fame skipper Earl Weaver was known to have said during his managerial career for the Orioles, "Nobody likes to hear it because it's dull, but the reason you win or lose is darn near always the same — pitching."
No one could argue Earl on that point and have a realistic shot to win the debate. Consider Saturday's World Baseball Classic semifinal at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. The Venezuelan roster boasted 22 players currently active on Major League teams. The Koreans? Just one. Still, just 20 minutes into the first of two Classic semifinals, it was clear the Korean team had a significant mental edge and a superior starter over the Venezuelans, jumping to a 5-0 lead after the first half inning.
By the time the dust cleared Saturday night at Chavez Ravine, the Koreans swung a mighty stick with a 10-2 victory to advance to Monday's Classic final against Japan.
Pitching had a large role in Saturday's contest. Korean pitcher Suk Min Yoon dazzled, baffling Venezuelan sluggers and surrendering just six hits thorugh his first six innings against a lineup of potent bats featuring Bobby Abreu, Miguel Cabrera, Carlos Guillen and Magglio Ordonez, among others.
Even though the Venezuelan team fell short to the Koreans on Saturday, ending its Classic bid, humility in defeat and graciousness permeated the Venezuelan clubhouse following the loss.
As we in Cooperstown strive to document and preserve the game's history, the collection of artifact donations from current-day stars as these historic moments unfold is critical to our ability to tell the story in a timely manner for our visitors. We hope to represent all four semifinal teams in Cooperstown from the 2009 Classic through artifact donations from the teams and their players, and Saturday, Venezuelan stars Cabrera and Felix Hernandez were more than willing to help us commemorate this historic event.
Shortly after the loss, Cabrera donated the helmet he wore in the tournament to us. Excited for the opportunity of having his first item in Cooperstown, Cabrera didn't think twice in handing his helmet to me. The pain was evident, though, in his eyes, after falling short in a quest for the Classic title. A powerful sense of national pride was visible in members of all four of the semifinal teams here in Los Angeles. The Venezuelans are very proud countrymen, and returning to their Major League camps and going home early surely was not their plan on this night.
Also after the loss, the Venezuelan team donated the cap worn by Hernandez in his two wins during Classic tournament play. If one word summed up King Felix in this Classic, it was excellence. His pitching line reads like a masterpiece: 2-0 in 8 2/3 scoreless innings, with five hits, six walks and 11 strikeouts. Opponents hit just .172 in his two starts. If I'm a Mariners fan, I have to be hopeful about this ace heading to Opening Day.
Sunday, the artifact chase continued with an acquisition from the USA. Prior to last night's game, the Hall of Fame received the bat from David Wright, whose ninth-inning, game-winning base hit on Wednesday night propelled the U.S. past Puerto Rico, punching its first semifinal ticket in Classic play. It will be the first artifact from Wright's young career to make its way to Cooperstown.
Today, we'll also solicit artifact donations from both teams in the finals. The only things constant in baseball are winning and losing, but we'll be hoping for continued generosity from the international baseball world so that these treasures can be viewed for generations, only in Cooperstown.
Brad Horn is the senior director of communications for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

I've a presentation subsequent week, and I'm on the search for such info.
Undeniably imagine that which you said. Your favourite justification appeared to be at the internet the easiest thing to remember
of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while folks think about issues that they just do not know
about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the top as smartly as defined out the
entire thing with no need side effect , other folks could take a signal.
Will probably be back to get more. Thank you
It's remarkable designed for me to have a web page, which is useful in favor of my experience. thanks admin

Honorable Mention
I think 'Happy' is not far from us. For me, sunny and high sky is a great present to make me happy. Also, colorful balloons, sweeties like chocolate, candy, and ice-cream, watching the vivid fruits and picking fresh one, there are so many things which give me a big smile. Therefore I did not think seriously because it was about 'Happy'. I chose happy colors and painted as I enjoyed. My hands created 'The Blooming Happiness' rhythmically. If you look at my plate, 'Happy' is just in front of you and in your eyes.

The Scholar and the Walnut Twig Beetle
No wonder. The insect, measuring about 1.5 millimeters long, is much smaller than a grain of rice.
Now, however, they can see a teddy-bear-sized version, thanks to a University of California, Davis entomology major Kristina Tatiossian, a member of the Research Scholars Program in Insect Biology.
Through the UC Davis Art/Science Fusion Program, Tatiossian, a junior, crafted a ceramic mosaic sculpture of the tiny walnut twig beetle for her research poster, "Flight Response of the Walnut Twig Beetle, Pityophthorus juglandis, to Aggregation Pheromones Produced by Low Densities of Males."
The beetle jutting from the poster is so true to form that scientists studying the insect not only readily recognize it, but point out that it's a female. That includes her mentor, chemical ecologist and forest entomologist Steve Seybold of the Davis-based Pacific Southwest Research Station, USDA Forest Service, and an affiliate of the UC Davis Department of Entomology.
Seybold and Andrew Graves, a former UC Davis researcher with the UC Davis Department of Plant Pathology, who now works for the USDA Forest Service, first detected the newly recognized beetle-fungus disease, known as Thousand Cankers Disease (TCD), in California in 2008. TCD had been detected earlier in Colorado and its impact had been noted even earlier in New Mexico, Oregon, and Utah. TCD and its history are chronicled in a newly revised "Pest Alert" issued by the USDA Forest Service.
Tatiossian accomplished the research project as part of the Research Scholars Program in Insect Biology, which aims to provide undergraduates with a closely mentored research experience in biology. Headed by professor Jay Rosenheim, and assistant professor Louie Yang of the UC Davis Department of Entomology, the program currently has 12 students; students apply when they are freshmen, sophomores or transfer students. Tatiossian joined the program in 2011 and is mentored by Steve Seybold.
Tatiossian completed the ceramic mosaic project over a four-week period. She earlier worked on two UC Davis Art/Science Fusion Program projects, including the "Tree of Life," with the program's founders, entomologist/artist Diane Ullman and artist Donna Billick. A former Los Angeles resident, Tatiossian will receive her bachelor's degree in entomology this June and then plans to attend graduate school to study either biochemistry or virology.
Tatiossian will giving an oral presentation on her research at the Pacific Branch, ESA meeting, set for April 7-10 at South Lake Tahoe. Then she will display the poster again in the Undergraduate Research Conference at UC Davis on April 24 in Wellman Hall.
By itself, the beetle, native to Arizona, California, New Mexico and Mexico, does little or no damage. But when coupled with the newly described fungus, Geosmithia morbida, it is killing thousands of walnut trees.
The disease is creating havoc throughout much of the western United States, Seybold said, and is now heading east. Its primary host is the black walnut tree but it also attacks other walnut trees.
"Male WTB initiate new galleries and produce an aggregation pheromone, which can be used to study patterns of initial host colonization behavior of WTB. It has been previously shown by Graves and colleagues (2010) that as the number of males in a branch is increased from 20 to 200, the flight response of males and females is similarly increased," she wrote. "We investigated flight responses to lower numbers of males in cut branch sections of northern California black walnut, Juglans hindsii."
Her objective: "To determine the minimum number of males in an artificially infested branch of Juglans hindsii necessary to elicit a flight response from WTB." She found that as little as one to five males is enough to elicit the aggregation response at her field study sites at two locations in Davis.
The poster will be displayed on the third floor of Briggs Hall, just outside the Department of Entomology's administration office.
On her poster, Tatiossian credits Seybold; Extension entomologist Mary Louise Flint, associate director for Urban and Community IPM, UC Statewide Integrated Pest Program; entomology graduate student Stacy Hishinuma, and postdoctoral researcher Yigen Chen of the UC Davis Department of Entomology.

A Thousand Questions about TCD
Chemical ecologist and forest entomologist of Steve Seybold of the USDA Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Research Station, Davis, Calif., and a faculty affiliate of the UC Davis Department of Entomology, is leading a research group to characterize the disease in California.
A new member of the team is UC Davis entomology graduate student Stacy Hishinuma (right), who just received a McBeth Memorial Scholarship to help fund her research.
TCD is caused by the walnut twig beetle, Pityopthorus juglandis, in association with a newly described fungus, Geosmithia morbida.
"The beetle is believed to be native to Arizona, California, New Mexico and Mexico," Hishinuma said, "but was never associated with walnut tree mortality until just recently."
The disease was first noticed in canker-riddled black walnuts in Utah and Oregon in the early 1990s, but scientists attributed that to environmental stress. In 2006, plant pathologist Ned Tisserat and entomologist Whitney Cranshaw of Colorado State University identified the pathogen in declining black walnut trees in central Colorado. TCD is now found in eight western states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah and Washington), plus Tennessee.
"My project focuses on understanding more about the biology of the beetle and fungus and documenting the frequency and progression of TCD in various walnut species throughout California," Hishinuma said. "The McBeth scholarship is funding my travel to field sites across California."
Hishinuma, who is seeking her master's degree in entomology, works with major professor and integrated pest management (IPM) specialist Mary Lou Flint and is co-advised by Seybold. Flint, with the statewide UC IPM Program, is the associate director for urban and community IPM, and a Department of Entomology extension specialist.
The fungus enters the tree when the beetle tunnels into the bark to prepare egg galleries. "The fungus is probably carried as conidia on the beetle's elytra or wing covers," said Seybold, who has been studying the chemical ecology and behavior of bark beetles for more than 25 years.
Scientists believe that TCD occurs only on walnut, predominantly native black walnut, Juglans californica and J. hindsii, although the disease has been recorded on 10 species of walnuts or their hybrids in California. Often the first symptoms of TCD are flagging and yellowing leaves and branch dieback, Seybold said. Affected branches show sap staining and pinhole-sized beetle holes. Beneath the surface are dark stains caused by the fungus.
A tree can survive the stress produced by a few cankers, but when high populations of the beetle enter the tree and the numerous small cankers coalesce, the disease girdles twigs and branches. Eventually TCD attacks the main stem of the weakened tree down to the soil line.
Last summer, a USDA/UC Davis research team began tracking the pathogen and the beetle throughout the state, particularly in commercial orchards.
To prevent spread, infected trees should be removed and destroyed immediately by grinding or burning to ensure that beetles are destroyed, Seybold said. Infested walnut for chips, firewood, or woodworking should not be moved to new areas. Possible detections can be reported to the local agricultural commissioner's office or to the local UC Cooperative Extension office.
Hishinuma, from Burbank, completed her undergraduate work at UC Davis in animal biology, with an entomology emphasis. She began her graduate studies this fall after working for a year in southern California assisting with research on the goldspotted oak borer, a relatively new pest in southern California that kills oak trees. Beetle-infested firewood contributes to the problem, as it does with thousand cankers disease.
The McBeth Memorial Scholarship was established in 1986 by Barbara McBeth Woodruff (1924-2007) in honor of her parents, Ira Guy McBeth and Rose McBeth, and her sister Frances McBeth Black. Ira Guy McBeth, an entomologist who received his doctorate from the University of California in 1915, made notable contributions to the citrus industry and served as an executive in agricultural, chemical and development companies.
Meanwhile, a thousand questions about thousand cankers disease...and maybe soon...solutions.

Dying Walnut Trees in Davis
Walnut Twig Beetle
A World of Scents
That quote sound familiar? Chemical ecologist Jacques Le Magnen (1916-2002) said that back in 1970.
World-renowned organic chemist Wittko Francke (right) of the University of Hamburg, Germany, called attention to Le Magnen's quote at a UC Davis Department of Entomology seminar on Wednesday noon, Dec. 8.
It bears repeating: "Nature is more a world of scents than a source of noise."
Insects communicate in a chemical language or chemical signals, Francke told the crowd.
Indeed, scientists have long known that methods that can attract or repel insects have important applications for agricultural pests and medical entomology.
Francke told how a queen bee secretes compounds that regulate development and behavior of the colony, and how an orchid releases the scent of a female wasp to attract male wasps— a scent that results in pollination. He also touched on the "calling cards" of a number of other insects, including bumble bees, wasps, pea gall midges, stingless bees, bark beetles and leafminers. He pointed out that that plants, too, send chemical signals.
UC Davis graduate students James Harwood and Amy Morice of the James R. Carey lab video-taped the seminar. It will be online soon at http://entomology.ucdavis.edu/news/webcastlinks.html
Francke was introduced by chemical ecologist-forest entomologist (and UC Davis Department of Entomology affiliate) Steve Seybold of the USDA Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Research Station, Davis.
No stranger to UC Davis, Francke previously collaborated with chemical ecologist Walter Leal, professor and former chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology, on attractants for navel orangeworm.
In his talk, Francke mentioned Leal's discovery of a sophisticated mechanism for the isolation of the chemical communication channels of two species of scarab beetles.
Seybold and Francke are collaborating on the chemical signals of the walnut twig beetle, which in association with a newly described fungus, causes thousand cankers disease, a killer of walnut trees.
Thousand cankers disease (TCD) is now found in seven western states, plus Tennessee. Seybold is a key researcher in California.
Scientists believe that TCD occurs only on walnut, predominantly native black walnut, Juglans californica and J. hindsii, although the disease has been recorded on 10 species of walnuts or their hybrids in California.
Often the first symptoms of TCD are flagging and yellowing leaves and branch dieback, said Seybold, who has been studying the chemical ecology and behavior of bark beetles for more than 25 years. Affected branches show sap staining and pinhole-sized beetle holes. Beneath the surface are dark stains caused by the fungus.
A USDA/UC Davis research team is tracking the pathogen and the beetle throughout California, particularly in commercial orchards.
That all points back to "Nature is more a world of scents than a source of noise."
They Deal with Scents
Heaven Scent
Remember the exciting news article published in November of 2009 in Science Daily about how an orchid species on the Chinese island of Hainan "fools its hornet pollinator by issuing a chemical that honey bees use to send an alarm?"
The research was first published in Current Biology, a Cell Press publication.
"The discovery explains why the hornets, which capture honey bees to serve as food for their larvae, have been observed to literally pounce on the rewardless Dendrobium sinense flowers," the Science Daily author wrote.
Can you imagine? Hornets "detect" one of their favorite foods--honey bees--and they pounce on the flower and come up empty-handed or "empty-mouthed?"
The orchids produce a deceptive chemical, a compound called Z-11-eicosen-1-ol, described as "a rarity even in the insect world."
One of the researchers involved in this study--and hundreds of other insect communication studies--is world-renowned chemical ecologist Wittko Francke (top photo) of the University of Hamburg, Germany.
And now he's coming to the University of California, Davis, to present a seminar.
Francke will speak on "Insect Semiochemicals: Structural Principles and Evolution" at a UC Davis Department of Entomology seminar on Wednesday, Dec. 8 from 12:10 to 1 p.m. in 122 Briggs Hall, off Kleiber Hall Drive. He'll be introduced by host and fellow chemical ecologist Steve Seybold of the USDA Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Research Station, Davis, and an affiliate of the UC Davis Department of Entomology.
"Nearly everyone in the field has collaborated with him at some level; he has been a consummate mentor to younger chemical ecologists and has always been generous with his time, intellect, and chemical skills to everyone in that community," Seybold said. "He is remarkably brilliant in that he sees patterns in the make-up and synthesis of bio-organic compounds that most biologists, and even many chemists, may overlook."
Francke's talk, open to the public, will be webcast live and then archived on the Department of Entomology's website. This is the last in the series of the department's fall seminars.

5th Avenue Garden
VT Tab 5th Avenue Garden Information
The Fifth Avenue Garden History
As a result of a decision of the Board of Trustees in 1939, three magnolias were selected for the Fifth Avenue garden. The two trees on the lower tier are Saucer Magnolias (Magnolia soulangeana) and the species on the upper tier by the flagpole is a Star Magnolia (Magnolia stellata). Considered to be some of the largest in the New York area, and certainly the most grand in the setting in which they are displayed, they maintain their balance by yearly pruning, to sustain their sprawling shape in proportion to the long limestone facade of The Frick Collection.

Tibial nerve dysfunction is a loss of movement or sensation in the foot from damage to the tibial nerve.
Neuropathy - posterior tibial nerve; Tarsal tunnel syndrome
Tibial nerve dysfunction is an unusual form of peripheral neuropathy . It occurs when there is damage to the tibial nerve, one of the lower branches of the sciatic nerve of the leg. The tibial nerve supplies movement and sensation to the calf and foot muscles.
A problem in function with a single nerve group, such as the tibial nerve, is called mononeuropathy . The usual causes are:
Entrapment creates pressure on the nerve where it passes through a narrow structure.
The damage may destroy the myelin sheath that protects and insulates the nerve, or part of the nerve cell (the axon). This damage reduces or prevents the movement of impulses through the nerve.
The tibial nerve is often injured by pressure from a ligament on the inner part of the ankle. Injury or disease of structures near the knee may also damage the tibial nerve. The tibial nerve may also be affected by diseases that damage many nerves, such as diabetes .
In some cases, no cause can be found.
An examination of the legs will be done to diagnose tibial nerve dysfunction. The health care provider will also take a medical history.
Signs include:
In severe cases, the foot muscles may become very weak and the foot may be deformed.
Tests for tibial nerve dysfunction may include:
Other tests that may be ordered include blood tests and imaging tests, such as ultrasound or MRI .
Treatment is aimed at restoring feeling and strength to the foot and toes. In some cases, no treatment is needed, and patients will recover on their own. Severe loss of sensation may lead to toe or foot sores (ulcers) and infections.
Surgery to enlarge the tarsal tunnel or transfer the nerve helps reduce pressure on the tibial nerve and may benefit some people.
Over-the-counter analgesics may be helpful for mild pain (neuralgia ). Other medicines may be prescribed to help control severe pain.
Physical therapy exercises may help some people maintain muscle strength.
Job counseling, therapy, changes, or retraining may be recommended.
If the cause of the tibial nerve dysfunction can be found and successfully treated, patients can recover fully. Some people may have a partial or complete loss of movement or sensation. Nerve pain may be uncomfortable and last for a long period of time.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if symptoms of tibial nerve dysfunction are present. Early diagnosis and treatment increases the likelihood that symptoms can be controlled.
Prevention is variable depending on the cause of the nerve damage.

Love Him or Not, This Guy's a Class Act
Vince Wilfork is a big part of the defensive line of the New England Patriots. Heck, he's a big part of the Patriots, period. In his 11-year career with them, he's picked up two Super Bowl rings. On Tuesday, he learned that the Patriots would not be picking up the option on his contract. So that means he's most likely not going to be a Patriot any longer. He's still got some game in him, he says, so he could end up playing somewhere else. But yesterday, he showed what a class guy he is by posting this Tweet. And you can bet, that is that about that...

When in Paris...
Looks like there's something in the water in Paris... could it be peroxide, perchance? Both Jared Leto and Kim Kardashian showed up in France this week, and both of them were sporting new blond hairdos. For Kim, it's not much of a change. Still pretty obvious it's here, just with a different color on top. For Jared, it's a huge change. First off, his trademark shoulder-length brunette hair is gone. As is his beard, which was also almost a trademark. His change makes him virtually unidentifiable. Except that in these new pictures (that's Jared on the left), he looks like he and Kim might have been separated at birth. What do you think? A long-lost Kardashian? No, that would just be cruel...

Harrison Ford Crashes Flying Solo
Harrison Ford - Han Solo of Star Wars fame and Indiana Jones of Indiana Jones fame - crashed his vintage small plane yesterday on a golf course in Venice, California. A couple of doctors tended to him until emergency crews arrived and transported him to the hospital. Witnesses say that he had cuts on his head, but was in stable condition. Later, his son tweeted from the hospital that his dad was "battered" but okay. TMZ.com has the brief conversation between Harrison and the Santa Monica air traffic controller. You can hear Harrison saying he had engine failure, requesting "immediate return"... Listen to it at the bottom of the page. Click here for TMZ's story, the picture of the plane and more. He's got a lot of experience flying planes, helicopters and of course, the Millenium Falcon. He's crashed before too. Here's hoping he's okay!

"Hey, Man, I'm Your Worst Nightmare"
To celebrate his 21st birthday - which happened on Sunday, what did you get him? - Justin Bieber decided to set himself up for a Comedy Central roast. He may have bitten off more than he can chew here. Check out the latest promo for the March 30 broadcast - a spoof of the Biebs' Calvin Klein ad, which hasn't been spoofed enough, apparently. Roastmaster Jeff Ross - who you can beliebe is Justin's worst nightmare - puts on a blond wig like the model in the real ad, and imitates her movements. Well, sort of. It's kind of funny seeing how uneasy Justin looks - and it doesn't look like he's acting...

Fur Flies Between Sharon & Kim K
Sharon Osbourne - mama to Kelly, wife to Ozzy, and host at The Talk - is not known for being quiet, shy and reclusive. She's also a well-known and vocal opponent of real fur. So she didn't pull any punches in a recent interview with Closer magazine where she called Kim Kardashian out. Not only for wearing fur, but for accessorizing her 20-month-old daughter - North West - in fur and other outfits that aren't appropriate for a toddler. On the subject of fur, it makes Sharon "physically sick" and she says that "wearing it is a very dated way of showing everyone how rich you are." She says that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals have asked the K-Klan to stop wearing fur. And on the subject of little North, Sharon points out that she's not "an accessory - she shouldn't be wearing ugly couture clothes." Ouch. I wonder if Kim will fire back about Sharon's hair...

Crime Might Pay
So, do you remember the Hot Mugshot Guy? Jeremy Meeks was arrested in Stockton, California last June on weapons charges. The PD at the time called him "one of the most violent criminals in the Stockton area." His mugshot from that arrest went viral, and all of a sudden, in addition to being a felon, he was famous. Last month, he was handed a 27-month prison sentence, and he says he's using his time creatively, planning for a post-release career in modeling and acting. He says he's working with an agent, and he eats healthy too. "I do a lot of pushups, pull-ups, dips, burpees, and I stay very active." By "very active," he means running away from other inmates, most likely...

Nothing to See Here!
Three-quarters of the major players from Seinfeld - you remember, the show about nothing? - had a mini-reunion yesterday at the Palm Restaurant in Beverly Hills. Jerry Seinfeld was hosting the first Los Angeles Fatherhood Lunch to Benefit Baby Buggy, a charity with which he's associated. Two of his co-stars - Jason Alexander (George) and Michael Richards (Kramer) - were also on hand. Looks like they had some fun while they raised some funds. It's a Seinfeld reunion at #BabyBuggyFatherhood Fantastic event and charity. @LoveRecycled @esquirenetwork #CarMatchmaker A photo posted by Spike Feresten (@spikeferesten) on Mar 4, 2015 at 3:35pm PST

Doing Duets with Kelly Clarkson
Kelly Clarkson made some news a week or so ago when she said no one wanted to sing duets with her. No one's quite sure why, but when she visited The Tonight Show this week, Jimmy Fallon stepped up and took Kelly's challenge. They did a medley of duets, including Sonny & Cher's "I Got You, Babe," The Human League's "Don't You Want Me," and Elton John & Kiki Dee's "Don't Go Breaking My Heart." They saved the best for last though, with a great rendition of Lionel Richie and Diana Ross' "Endless Love." Check it out!

Mind If I Hitch a Ride?
A photographer in east London caught an amazing shot yesterday. A small weasel hopped onto the back of a green woodpecker. The woodpecker was on the ground, minding its own business, pecking away at some ants or other insects when the weasel decided to try to make a meal of the bird. The bird had other ideas, and took off with the weasel on its back. And the photographer was able to capture the moment in a photograph that's gone viral. The story and the incredible picture can be seen by clicking here for DailyMail.com.

Now This is Scary
Like skydiving isn't scary enough. Christopher Jones was at 12,000 feet, just out of his plane, when he was paralyzed by a seizure. His instructor realized he was in trouble and flew over to him, managing to pull the emergency chute. Jones woke up at 3,000 feet and was able to control his landing. So far, the video of his plunge and rescue has had over 5 million hits. Amazing. I don't think you'd ever catch me jumping out of a plane, but if you did, and this happened, you'd probably never catch me in an elevator again.

Feel Like Living Like the Walking Dead?
If you're a fan of The Walking Dead and you've got $680,000, then Grantville, Georgia could be just the spot for you. Not the whole town - just the downtown. And the downtown is famous for its use as a set in The Walking Dead. The town's economy used to depend on textiles. That industry went away years ago. These days, the industry is tourism, as in Walking Dead tourists. The nine buildings up for sale are commercial properties, so if you've got a flair for developing - and don't mind a bunch of zombies walking around from time to time - get on eBay and make your bid!

Beware the Stoner Rabbits!
An agent for the Drug Enforcement Administration appeared before Utah's Senate last week to speak against a proposed bill that would legalize marijuana. Specifically, he's afraid that allowing marijuana to be grown in the state would hurt the environment. Why? Because rabbits and other wildlife could cultivate a taste for marijuana. In fact, he said he witnessed such behavior, in a rabbit who'd developed a taste for the herb and lost his natural instinct to run. Good to know the government's out there protecting us from stoner rabbits... Listen to Agent Fairbanks' testimony here. Some of it is flat-out hilarious.

Stolen and "Maliciously Altered"
By now, you've probably seen the picture of Cindy Crawford that was all over the internet a week or so ago. It showed Cindy in a bra and panties, wearing a hat and some sort of stole. The story that went with the photo was that it showed Cindy in all her unretouched glory - a celebration of a woman embracing her real body. Turns out the photo was actually stolen and "maliciously altered," according to Cindy's attorneys. They are threatening to sue everyone who posted the picture if they don't take it down and apologize. For the record, Cindy's husband posted this picture to Instagram to show what she really looks like. She got flowers and I got her. Happy Valentines Day @cindycrawford A photo posted by Rande Gerber (@randegerber) on Feb 14, 2015 at 6:00pm PST And if you don't believe the picture, listen to what Christie Brinkley had to say about Cindy in an interview with Access Hollywood last week...

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - The Westminster College Department of English and Public Relations will feature three scholars discussing author Elizabeth Bishop at the Bleasby Colloquium Sept. 20 at 7 p.m. in the McKelvey Campus Center's Mueller Theater. The program is free to the public.
Bethany Hicok, associate professor of English at Westminster; Thomas Travisano, professor of English at Hartwick College; and Angus Cleghorn, professor of English at Seneca College will discuss the book they co-edited: Elizabeth Bishop in the 21st Century: Reading the New Editions. The three Bishop scholars also contributed essays to the book.
Bishop was a world traveler and a Pulitzer prize-winning poet, who lived almost two decades in Brazil in the 1950s and 1960s. In recent years, a series of major collections of Bishop's posthumous writings have been published, profoundly affecting how we look at her life and work. The hundreds of letters, poems and other writings in the new editions have expanded Bishop's published work by well over a thousand pages and placed before the public a "new" Bishop whose complexity was previously familiar to only a small circle of scholars and devoted readers. Hicok, Travisano and Cleghorn will discuss this "new" Bishop in their presentation. Books will be available for purchase.
Hicok, who joined the Westminster faculty in 2001, earned an undergraduate degree from Russell Sage College and two master's degrees and Ph.D. from the University of Rochester. She is the author of Degrees of Freedom: American Women Poets and the Women's College, 1905-1955. In addition to articles on Bishop, she has published articles on Marianne Moore, and Wallace Stevens, contributed chapters to three books and delivered papers on American poetry at professional conferences. She is also the recipient of a National Endowment for the Humanities fellowship to study in Brazil and is working on a book on Elizabeth Bishop in Brazil.
Cleghorn is the author of Wallace Stevens' Poetics: The Neglected Rhetoric and editor of the Elizabeth Bishop Bulletin. Travisano is the author of one of the first book-length studies on Bishop, Elizabeth Bishop: Her Artistic Development. Most recently he is the principal editor of Words in Air: The Complete Correspondence between Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell. He is working on a biography of Bishop.
This colloquium is part of the George Bleasby Colloquia, a series of literary events in honor of the late Dr. Bleasby, who chaired the Department of English at Westminster from 1954-75. These programs are presentations by the faculty of the department, featured speakers, and majors on individual scholarship, interests and creative projects.
Contact Dr. Brittany Rowe-Cernevicius, Westminster assistant professor of public relations and coordinator of the colloquium, at (724) 946-6024 or email for additional information.

The UK is home to 17.5 million social gamers
The US social gaming revenue share by segment is set it hit a staggering $1.3 billion in 2012 according to Tripwire magazine. In its social gaming by the numbers infographic it sheds more light on social gaming around the world. It is a US-centric statistical look at the social gaming industry, but does disclose that the UK is home to 17.5 million social gamers, leading four other European countries, but is eclipsed by the USA with over 53 million social gamers tuning in.
The social gaming infographic also breaks down:
- The 25 most popular social games
- Revenue share segment
- Number of gamers by country (Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands, USA and the UK)
- US social gamers by age
- Number of US social gamers
- US social gaming revenue
Unsurprisingly, Zynga's Cityville and Farmville lead the 25 social gaming applications, but aren't the only appearances listed by the social gaming specialist.

Barrow v Macclesfield - postponed due to frozen pitch
Last updated at 13:30, Tuesday, 11 December 2012
BARROW AFC's re-arranged FA Cup second round tie against Macclesfield Town at Holker Street has been postponed again due to a frozen pitch.
An inspection was carried out at 1.15pm today on a pitch which was rock solid in almost all areas.
The two teams will now attempt to play the twice-postponed match on Tuesday, December 18.
Barrow's official club website says: "A hard overnight frost has put paid to Tuesday's FA Cup tie with Macclesfield following a 1.15pm pitch inspection.
"At 8am most of the pitch was frozen hard and even some areas under the frost covers were very firm.
"The situation had hardly improved by 1.15pm.
"With temperatures only predicted to reach two degrees, there is no way now the pitch will soften sufficiently to allow the game to go ahead.
"Match assessor Mike Pike in consultation with match referee Dave Webb conducted the lunchtime inspection.
"The game has been rescheduled for next Tuesday, December 18th at 7.45pm."

Have your say
I bet the FA wish the ref had let it go ahead last Saturday when everyone bar the ref wanted to play the game! With The FA Trophy and other cup to fit in its looking like a fixture back log!

New Discovery Substantially Reduces Air Friction Drag.
New Piezo Acoustic Discovery Substantially Reduces Aircraft Drag Friction.
Air resistance is a major source of drag resulting in energy consumption and fuel usage for aircraft and quadruples with doubling of speed.
As I was lying in bed ,instead of always having sex like everyone else, it occurred to me in a flash about this method of reducing air resistance.
In sexual terms it maybe construed as Piezo Acoustic Lubrication.
Wind tunnel tests conducted by me as a result of this inspiration by me on models fitted with piezo acoustic transducers on inside the hull and fed with various audio and ultrasonic frequencies showed dramatic decreases in air resistance of the model's air resistance as it flew through the air.
It seems that the micro vibration of the hull may make the hull more slippery or in some way the hull vibration amplitude pushes/compresses the air out of the way resulting in considerable reduction in drag varying from 20% to 60%.
Another mechanism may be some kind of resonance phenomenon which allows the aircraft to be more slippery through the air.The acoustic device may be distorting the hull by microscopic amounts could be another mechanism.
Or some kind of micro eddies/vortices might be responsible as has been shown in the small winglets attached to some planes.Another possible mechanism might be electrostatic charge build up due to the vibrations which repels the air or creates a micro air gap.
The piezo transducers are the same as used in toys or electrical devices to make beeping noises/sounds.They were glued solidly onto inside the hull near the front and at other points and then fed various frequencies and waveforms such as sine,square,triangle waveforms at different frequencies.
Piezo disc devices distort when a voltage is applied to the ceramic attached to the usually brass metal disc.If it solidly attached to a another surface then that surface will also distort.
The frequencies generated were from a bog standard laboratory square/sine/triangle waveform generator ranging from 0.1 Hz to 100 kilohertz.These were fed by wires attached to the transducers.
The application of this discovery to both commercial and military aircraft are profound in that the reduction in air resistance will boost speed and reduce fuel consumption and extend range as well as improve maneouverability.
As the frequency required to achieve the lower air resistance varied with wind speed a computer controlled system could easily be used but of course more research is needed in actual aircraft to derive the air resistance versus frequency graphs as well as location parameters which will vary with the shape of the aircraft.
This could also be applied to boats/ships but may cause noise pollution in the ocean disturbing ocean animals.Maybe it could be used in cars but might be too noisy.
I claim exclusive ownership of this discovery and I have submitted papers to my lawyer who has notarized this discovery.
Other people can do similar experiments to confirm this for themselves and report on their results.You can use model aircraft , etc. and bog standard lab equipment.
