"I woke up one morning and I couldn't walk," said King, a 56-year-old former professional golfer and golf instructor. "I have no idea how I hurt my back. It was either a degenerative condition or an acute injury that I didn't notice."
Referred to Borgess Spine by her family physician, the long-time Pfizer employee who lives in Portage was examined by Dr. David Brockman and put under the care of Travis Jager, D.P.T., a doctor of physical therapy.
"I had never had surgery in my life and I didn't want it then," Sharon said. "After the first session with Travis I could feel an improvement. Physical therapy, manipulation, whatever he did it worked."
A native of Upstate New York, Sharon was a member of the Ladies Professional Golf Association for nine years and has been physically active all of her life. A scratch golfer at the time, she played with Nancy Lopez and other top-notch golfers during the 1970s and 1980s.
Trained as a teacher, she played and taught golf for many years and has continued her teaching in sales, marketing and related jobs with The Upjohn Co., Pharmacia and now Pfizer.
"I used to run five miles a day," she said. "And I knew all about strength training and conditioning. Travis, though, taught me how to focus on different core areas and that it takes more than one type of exercise for a strong back and to stay fit. I still do the exercises he taught me."
Sharon said that over the course of seven sessions her back pain disappeared. "I am extremely happy with Borgess Spine," she said. "I regained full capacity beginning from the time I walked in the door until I walked out the last time."

This product smells pretty good but I did not notice it lasting too long. I noticed about half way through the day that the smell was starting to diminish. I would most likely not purchase this product.
Exactly as described. It is subtle distinction without obnoxious intrusion. The ideal compliment to confidence. The scent that neither you nor she will get tired of.
I recevice a sample in my box this month and it has led me to buy the full product. I dec3eiv nothing but compliments when wearing it from friends and strangers. The ladies seem to appreciate it.
English Laundry No. 7 is one of the better fragrances I've purchased. I've gotten a ton of compliments from co-workers, friends and family members.
Definitely will purchase this again!
I don't know about this one. There are better scents out there. I don't know how to describe this scent, but it wasn't that good and I feel the price point is too high.
Really liked this sample in my box this month. I had never tried English Laundry before this. This will be on my christmas list this year. My fiance loves it too.
This scent is just not for me. Its vary musky. Something a old man would wear.But the packaging was nice.
I received the sample in the November box. Not a very big fan of this one. It just was not my style. I prefer lighter and not as musky.
Definitely not all that great. It was very musty smelling. Seemed like a very outdated smell, and there are better scents on this website.

Comments about UNDER ARMOUR Boys' Assert III Running Shoes - Preschool:
I expected these shoes to hold up to a 6 yr. Old boy. The first day the toe was scuffed. Then within a week the laces had to be replaced. He has now had the shoes for about 4 weeks and I do not see them lasting 2 more months. Usually we get a least 6-7 months out of a pair of shoes.

Obviously , church services are not a common experience for you, otherwise you'd recognize the common baptismal liturgy used for baptisms taking place during services.<quoted text>Maybe you'll tell us where you found this gem, or is it another figment of your imagination.
We know you have no shame when it comes to the Bible or the words therein, for you have made a mockery of it since some long time ago.
You have also failed to get a hit and still batting .000, so if you can produce a source for you post, your batting avg will go up.
You won't be a water boy anymore.
So fess up and produce a source.
and if you didn't, having the words of the baptismal liturgy quoted to you would surely have refreshed your recollection - assuming you had a recollection of church - you know - where Right Wingers go to tell leeeeeeeberals how they are more religious than leeeeeeeberals.
And after you have been so embarrassed so many times by a mouth far larger than your knowledge base, you'd think you would have learned by now not to challenge me and that I document everything.
Educating you is becoming tiring.
All others reading the post recognize the common baptism liturgy.
Please just ask any person you know who has been to church when there has been a baptism - and they'll confirm it for you.
But you have lost your right to ask for more information from me. Each time I devote minutes of my life providing additional documentation, you ignore it anyway, so your requests now fall on dead ears.
Yep, "it takes a village" - imagine, once again Leeeeeeeeeberals following Jesus' precepts and Rught Wingers mocking them for doing so.

Intel's Sean Malone and Francois Piednoel left little to be desired for: demonstrating air-cooled 5GHz Core i7 975 CPU, explaining i975 cherry picking, Core i5 Turbo modes, quad-core notebook platforms and many more.
A rumor appeared that the Core i5 platform is delayed until September. There is just one problem with that: the rumor is not true.
IBM and all of its alliance partners were up in arms over delivery of 28nm half-node toolkits. We asked our Intel sources about their views...
A day after Paul Otellini announced that Intel shipped over a thousand samples to 30 different OEMs,the first pictures and benchmarks started to show... dual-core + GPU Clarkdale was first.

Dexter, it really is time to say adios.
Good-bye, vampire-faerie sex.
Cool it with the faeries for a while.
"You could drive yourself crazy trying to please everybody. It's impossible."
Thank God.
Spoilers ahead.
True Blood may have lost Alan Ball, but season six still delivers comforting blasts of gory goodness.
Thank you, HBO!
Like a hobbled yet determined Kerri Strug, season six just stuck the landing.
"I love you, Jason Stackhouse."
From concept to execution, "Life Matters" was very very very good.
"Last season was a bit schizophrenic, with like fifteen storylines."
"At one point, I really wanted Arlene to become heavily involved in witchcraft."
This episode has one truly, incredibly, instant classic scene.
Spoilers ahead.
True Blood does the best vampire deaths.
Spoilers ahead.
This might have been one of the strongest episodes of the past few years.
He wants to rein it in.
With season six less than half in the can.
Also, more Bon Temp incest.
F--- the pain away, everyone.

POWER BACK-UP OPERATION (Handset)
What happens to your phone when theres a power outage? Nothing, with our 2011 models featuring Power Back-Up Operation. A powerful battery back-up system keeps you connected so when the power goes out. Keep a charged handset in the base unit and you can still make and receive calls with the other cordless handsets.
Now you can hear who's calling from across the room without having to get up. Using text-to-speech technology. Panasonic phones featuring Talking Caller ID that announces caller ID information in between rings. What could be more convenient?
This feature automatically lowers the power consumption when you're using the handset close to the base unit. Not only does it extend the available talk time, it's good for the environment. When less power is used by the handset to communicate with the base unit, battery life is prolonged which results in less frequent charging and can result in fewer batteries in landfills.
Clarity even at extended range is a hallmark of Panasonic cordless phones. Our 2011 line-up features Range Boost technology; a built-in antenna to the base unit; that extends transmission range by up to 20% compared to previous generation phones, so you can keep talking as you keep walking.
Everyone hears differently. To maximize clarity or accommodate hearing loss, Panasonic added the Tone Equalizer to all 2011 models. This exclusive feature actually lets you control the bass, mid-range, or treble tones in a callers voice for maximum clarity.

Regarding Belleville Alderman Tim Carpenter's inaccurate claims last week, let me clarify: There was no property tax hike from the city of Belleville. Carpenter would have
knowledge of this if he owned any property himself. The property tax levy of .1177 percent was approved by all voting aldermen, including Carpenter.
The sales tax increase was to replace the wheel sticker; this was enacted due to my request in the
Finance Committee to replace the wheel sticker. The wheel sticker was implemented
in response to the state's delinquency on our tax reimbursements. Of course, Carpenter offered no solutions for any these issues. Had we listened to Carpenter and Alderman Joe Hayden, the city would have missed out on more than $1.2 million in revenue for our general fund -- the fund that pays for police officers.
Also, I made the point that, depending on usage, the Ameren Power Smart Pricing plan could cost even less for citizens than the aggregation option. Again, this has always been an individual's option to participate or not.
The "green energy" option would have been about 35 cents more a month per household. I was listening to my constituents who were requesting "going green" during public participation. The question at hand is, is 35 cents a month worth it? Considering the fact that our city applies for grant money (rather than go to the taxpayers), the designation of Belleville as a "cool city" could be beneficial.

Week of: | 05-16-2011 |
When the Wheelmobile came to Harrah's Casino in early November, I almost didn't go to the Saturday auditions. It was a beautiful fall day, and I figured my chances of actually appearing on the show were minuscule. I had been a Wheel fan for years, but had no clue that the Wheelmobile was going to be in town. Fortunately, two friends had alerted me to the fact earlier in the week. Because we had already made plans to attend, I decided that the chance to appear on Wheel was something that might never happen again, and to the casino we went!
I was stunned by the sheer number of people at the audition. We filled out our information slips, dropped them into the big hopper, and settled in for a long afternoon of waiting. After numerous false starts (Paula, Paulette, Pauline...), I was lucky enough to have my name called during the first round of auditions! While I didn't solve my puzzle ("Wynona Judd"), I felt that I had good energy and stage presence, and I hoped that it would be enough to carry me to a callback audition.
When I received my callback email in December, my thoughts quickly shifted from the audition being a fun talking point to something I needed to take seriously. Wheel of Fortune was already nightly watching material, but it became appointment viewing, and I purchased the iPhone Wheel of Fortune App. Whenever I had downtime, I played countless games, trying to remain sharp for my callback. I knew that they were taping three weeks of shows in New Orleans, and so I figured that my odds were now much more in my favor.
The callback audition was sobering. In contrast to the first round, where the crowd was loud with nervous energy, these people were focused and serious. Everyone was friendly, but it was clear that they had spent just as much time daydreaming about WoF as I. After solving a few puzzles, completing a written test, and playing another round or two of WoF, we were told that if selected, we would receive notice within two or three weeks. There was nothing left to do but wait and wait...
After four weeks had come and gone with nary a word from the producers, I had given up any reasonable hope that I had made it on the show. Imagine my surprise when my fiance found a letter from Wheel of Fortune in the mail! I redoubled my study efforts, and though I still didn't know when I'd be appearing on the show, it was only another month until I found out I'd be taping here in New Orleans for "Fabulous Food Week!" Tune in on Wednesday to see how it went!

Party Recap...
This was a darling party I created for a client, with a "Madeline" inspired theme, based off the birthday girl's favorite storybook series of that little french girl in Paris. I designed the party to help each girl feel as if they were "Madeline"--they all received custom capelets (with personalized tags, and hair bows to match) in a French Clothing Shoppe, they enjoyed ribbon candy and other sweets from the Candy Shoppe, they decorated their own floral masterpieces on canvases at The Flower Shoppe, colored in The Book & Toy Shoppe, and received darling small red suitcases to transport their goodies with them through the Parisian Marketplace. They ate in "Madeline"'s dining hall, and enjoyed a gorgeous yellow fondant hat birthday cake. It was truly a charming party, and was a joy to create!

The Florida Institute of Oceanography (FIO) coordinates a pilot project known as the Geospatial Assessment of Marine Ecosystems (GAME). Funded by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), this project aims to assemble existing data and information about the coastal ocean waters of Florida and the adjacent state waters of the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean and South Atlantic Bight.
The GAME project will lay the groundwork for ecosystem-based management of Florida's estuaries and marine waters, including the West Florida Shelf and the Gulf of Mexico.
The aim of the Phase I - Information Survey - is the identification of spatial frameworks, or work done in specific areas, based on ecological characteristics for coastal and marine assessment and management in the State of Florida. This initial phase will detect, locate, collate, and organize existing data and information to assess the marine habitats and structure. This includes nearshore coastal areas as well as the human uses of our waters. The project will assemble, for the first time, the many sources of physical, geomorphological, biological, chemical, and ecological data and information in a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) format. This effort will form the prototype for constructing an ecosystem environment.
The GIS organizational effort will use a combination of diverse information in a way that permits conceptual and management planning of living marine resources in the coastal waters of Florida. Following this inventory and cataloging phase, information gaps will be identified and maps will be produced.
These maps will be displayed throughout the state through a series of regional public meetings held to inform the community about ecosystem-based management and to solicit comments and additional information from the public. In cooperation with this state assessment, relevant federal agencies and recognized regional experts, including Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO), will gather to expand the assessment to the entire Gulf of Mexico, so all parties can eventually reach an agreement with respect to the ecoregional map of this area.
With such a tool in hand, the Gulf coast states and federal agencies can begin to make coordinated and complementary decisions concerning coastal waters that are based upon and directing scientific research. Commercial and recreational uses, conservation areas, and monitoring programs are a few of the targeted focus areas. This will allow managers to better plan both existing and increasing uses of our nation's marine resources. The information obtained will enable government agencies to sustain the resources of the state's coastal waters with the best available science, data, and understanding of critical areas that lack sufficient data for analysis.
This project represents the first step in a major, long-term state effort to implement new procedures of ecosystem-based management and governance.

UK Energy Firm Claims its Hydrogen-Nanobead-Based Synthetic Gas Can Burn in Your Car with Zero Emissions
We're going to go ahead and write this one because it's all kinds of interesting, but know that we are doing so with all kinds of skepticism, fair readers. Because anytime anyone claims to have created inexpensive synthetic fuel that will burn in conventional automobile engines with no carbon emissions, you simply have to be on your guard. Nonetheless, UK-based Cella Energy claims to have done exactly that by devising a hydrogen-based synthetic fuel that could replace gasoline in cars.
The technology—reportedly incubated at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory near Oxford in a top secret four-year program—is based on complex hydrides that are highly unstable, usually degrading rapidly in air. Put simply, the company claims it has found a nanotech-driven method that encapsulates hydrogen at usable concentrations in micro-capsules, allowing it to be handled and burned in conventional engines without the need to store it in dangerous high-pressure tanks or super-cooled environments. From Cella's website:
Cella Energy have developed a method using a low-cost process called coaxial electrospinning or electrospraying that can trap a complex chemical hydride inside a nano-porous polymer that speeds up the kinetics of hydrogen desorption, reduces the temperature at which the desorption occurs and filters out many if not all of the damaging chemicals. It also protects the hydrides from oxygen and water, making it possible to handle it in air.
This means that basically the micro-capsules are stabilized hydrogen that moves like a fluid, meaning you could pump it into your automobile as-is, with no engine or fuel injection conversion—though Cella readily admits that preliminary deployment of their product would likely be as a fuel-additive that helps to cut down on carbon emissions.
Moreover, Gizmag writes that the fuel could be produced at a fixed price of about $1.50 per gallon, a price that would be stable and immune to the whims of OPEC or anyone else (except Cella, it seems). We're not exactly sure where to attribute that dollar value, though Gizmag did interview the company's CEO.
So: $1.50 per gallon carbon-free nano-liquid hydrogen fuel that burns in existing engines. Sound too good to be true? In theory the science makes sense assuming the "electrospinning" process works as well as Cella claims it does. But until those hydrogen micro-beads are powering our flying cars, we remain optimistically skeptical.

That is why governments should introduce a floating fuel tax.When OPEC jacks the price up,the tax decreases,and when the price drops,the tax increases.That way,a stable retail price is set,and alternate fuel companies can invest in product development without the fear gasoline will drop so low it would make their efforts financially untenable.
Completely agree, and on that note, an energy claim as cheap as this would probably get bought out by some large corporation within oil industry and then never applied. Hell, it's happened before and it could for sure happen again.
On the bright side though, if something like this works (as explained in the article) as nicely as they say with the reduction of having a fuel injection system (or for that much, a few components other than the fuel injector) could provide some interesting benefits and revolutionizing modern energy and engineering, while helping reduce carbon emission.
Sounds cool to me, but I'll check to see what happens.
According to Cella's website the hydride they use is ammonia borane (NH3BH3), which releases hydrogen gas at 80 degrees Celsius and above. They state that ammonia borane releases 12% (by weight) hydrogen in this process, so the energy density of the fuel seems to be a problem. With gasoline you burn nearly 100% of the mass of the fuel, whereas with this setup you only burn 12%! I believe this is a very exciting concept, but it will require cars to have massive fuel tanks.

"
Then what's to stop OPEC from jacking up the prices and forcing the government to pay for the raise? Sure, the public will get decently low and stable fuel prices, but the goverments would have to take a HUGE hit each time OPEC decided they wanted more money. The only thing stoping them from doubling the price right now is decreased demand when they do it, but it the government 'hides' that doubling in price from the public, OPEC will do it.
You'd put the tax at point of sale so that it has no effect on the backend, I think. It would come directly from the consumers and not affect the distributors' decisions.

Weight doesn't matter, brah. When we're talking about chemical energy, the only thing that matters is the number of potential bonds you bring to the table. With H, that's one - usually two Hs to one O. With carbon, of course, it's the reverse, two potential bonds usually with one oxygen each. A hydrogen atom is also 1/12 the weight of a carbon atom, so 12% by weight is 1.44 times as many atoms and 74% as many potential bonds. Obviously, it doesn't scale directly, because how spontaneously exothermal something is - how much energy it actually releases when burned - varies from chemical to chemical. Still, if you're counting anything, count atoms, not ounces.
No, what'll kill this is price. We have to produce already-expensive hydrogen fuel via nuclear electrolysis plants, then turn it into a carbon-based nanoparticle? Yeah, right. (Still, I'm hoping.)
I can tell you now why goverment is not flushing money into it. well in our counrty anyway. because David cameron wont even spend money on the police and national defence of our country never mind our fule. England went down hill further due to him. Were due to fall further.
Not saying this "clean fule" is viable or real but its certin it wont have money spent on it by our gov
This article is a true example of all the doubting Thomas's in America. Wouldn't it be real easy to check this new fuel out. Just have CEO Stephen Voller show us how it works. Just because America couldn't come up with the idea doesn't mean it won't work or its too good to be true. In theory, if this new fuel works, America can keep its old out dated fossil fuel vehicles on the road for another century or two.
i don't know if its "doubting Thomas's" or the boy who cried wolf, remeber ethanol the end all cure all fix to oil, except it destroyed engines and drmatically increased food prices, I feel that electric cars with wide spread use of Nuclear fission technology that has increased in efficiency and productivity in the decades since its development, and future advancment of Fusion, will be the end of fossil fuels, and fossil fueled cars, but we are too scared from TMI and Trenobyl(sp?)but we need to have faith in nuclear technology again!!
OPEC has come close to hanging itself on a number of occasions.
Every time the price of oil rises above the refining costs of other sources ( Like the oil sands in Canada and ANWAR) they drop the price. All it would take is a Gov. with some cahones to just continue on with the development of the resource despite any short term losses. Then OPEC would have to keep up and follow suit until the price continues to plummet.
Hydrides are a renewable source and arguably still a fossil fuel. The best source for these in the future will be the ocean floor. The concept here of suspending a gas in a polymer is a novel approach. The concept could be used on a number of other combustibles to facilitate the inclusion of these fuels in the current infrastructure.
One more thing to consider for those who think it will mean an end to fuel. 90% of all food crops are fertilized with petro chemical fertilizers derived from the refining process of oil. You can't just take oil out of the equation without finding a replacement for the chemical fertilizers.
According to Cella's website, they will be presenting the technology in Washington DC on February 14th. http://nha.confex.com/nha/2011/anal/papers/viewonly.cgi?password=pr0tium&username=5190
Don't know exactly where in DC this is going to be. But it's definitely a lecture I'd like to hear first hand.
I'd say we'll hear more details after that.
Gasoline has 100,000 BTU's per gallon (amnt of energy)
Hydrogen has 28,000 - 40,000 BTU's per gal (not sure of the exact number)
I'm wondering how this could be all that effective if it's stored energy is lower than liquid hydrogen.
OPEC has slowed the modernization of almost all the 3rd world countries. They have outlived their use and need to be dismantled.
OPEC will raise the price of oil again like they did when ethanol was added to fuel. They directly fund terrorism. They are controlled by hostile enemies of the United States.
We have to wage war to keep OPEC in their place, and also so our economy does not collapse due to inflated oil prices.
If I started a business in any country and had a unionized-monopoly that threatened the government I would go to jail.
@my name here:
Matter cannot be destroyed period. Emissions are by-products of fuels into the environment. Pollutants from carbon based fuels are commonly referred to as "negative externalities" due to their adverse affects on the environment.. When you burn hydrogen it bonds with oxygen to form water, the emission would be water (Two hydrogen and one oxygen: H2O) water is good.
Average man:
My question is? if my car was to be converted into using this new method of fuel. what are the chances of this method being monopolized by one man? what reassurance would i have that $1.50 approximately would turn into $3.00 in a matter of weeks? this tech, is it being viewed by experts? not just employees by Cella's CEO Stephen Voller? has the US GOV. researched this method? If it's something that could come true, what profit can an every day small time investor profit from?
AM no tech just everyday.
Ok, so the hydrogen is still a gas, and held in the ammonia-borane fluid-like porous nanoball by the remnant of a charge? I just don't see how we are going to keep their fuel from breaking back down, even with the creative use of their ammonia-borane delivery. I seems to me that enough quantity of this alone is going to want ground out the basis of the bond. If this can be put into application in current technology as they say, it looks more to me that it would function on a basis of 'allowable inefficiency', or the simple concept that though this fuel is pretty stable, allowing it to be stored and pumped, it does actually break down into a stream comprised mostly of ammonia-borane, but that the now simply immersed hydrogen is of sufficient quantity to keep the typical EFI with auto choke sensor to inject a fuel that still burns. Keeping enough of it's bond through the normal movement of the vehicle and therefore the fuel. Seems to me the fuel would lose it's bonding charge, and soon it's hydrogen as well, in a vehicle not operated for a time, and the hydrogen become a danger before then. Both the ammonia and the hydrogen are greatly affected by heat as well, so the stability of the bonds are the only thing giving the appearance to me that the lesser-dense quality fuel could actually allow us to ever drive any significant amount of distance on a tank of this stuff or give it a safe aspect, so if an actual chemist could clue me in on it, I'd be greatfully grateful. Also, if the fuel itself turns out as initially advertised, but through it's lesser fuel density we become a nation that never gets home or to work because we are all in a line at the gas stations, then I'd anticipate that the only people getting rich off of this would be the industry, the politicians mandating it; and the now poor people who try to sell us fruit while we wait in hours of gridlock. If they don't study this a lot more comprehensively than ethanol, then a whole lot of people should really be replaced sooner rather than later.
Ya know, an enterprising chemist could probably mix up a batch of this, PopSci; and I'd be willing to bet that auto scrapyard would be willing to donate the use of an engine for testing, too, just so they could be on the leading edge of it if it's viable.
OK seems like a great idea, and somebody is ready for a break-through, but, and its a big BUTT that it can spark my interest only when you tell me that the "new fuel" used on x-car, drove x-miles/km, without coughing or sneezing and which proved the affordable cost.

Feb 10, 2010: Haiti relief plans move from shore to ship
A partnership with the U.S. Navy to send a dozen UCLA nurses and doctors to help in Haiti has transformed into plans to send rotating teams of eight UCLA medical staff, after the Navy revised its plans.
To help Haiti recover from the devastating 7.0 quake it suffered on Jan. 12, UCLA originally expected to staff a 150-bed mobile hospital the Navy intended to build, but the military recently determined it will not build the mobile hospital. UCLA is now organizing in response to requests from the Navy to send medical professionals with a variety of specialties to staff its hospital ship, the USNS Comfort. After getting word of the new plans on Tuesday, Feb. 9, medical volunteers are currently being asked to deploy from Florida on Sunday, Valentine's Day, for a two-week mission to Haiti.
"We are feverishly putting together the new team, and it looks like it will be pretty significant," said Shannon O'Kelley, associate director of operations in clinical services and the primary organizer of UCLA's Operation Haiti. "We're still finalizing numbers, but it looks like we'll be sending at least a team of eight on Sunday and then an additional group of eight every two weeks for a total of six weeks."
In January, the UCLA Health sent a half-ton of medical and surgical supplies to Haiti via Operation USA. Anonymous donors paid for the supplies, including a $25,000 emergency-room pack.
By Alison Hewitt (UCLA Today)
Jan 29, 2010: UCLA Health sends surgical team, medical supplies to Haiti
The eight nurses and three doctors already assigned to the UCLA Operation Haiti team are divided into two groups - half operating-room nurses and surgeons, and half emergency-room nurses and doctors - who will staff a new U.S. Navy field hospital in Port-au-Prince for two weeks. The UCLA Health sent a half-ton of medical and surgical supplies this week to Haiti via Operation USA. The medical system has also reactivated a leave program created to respond to Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which allows hospital employees to donate their vacation time to the employees who volunteer in Haiti through UCLA.

Jan 21, 2010: UCLA Health has put together a response team in the aftermath of the Haitian earthquake.
We are carefully coordinating our efforts with governmental and non-governmental agencies that are able to offer the infrastructure, operations support, and security that will enable our clinicians to provide safe, quality care for those affected by this catastrophe. Pending specific requests from the relief agencies, we are in the process of identifying staff to participate in this effort.
Because of the devastating loss of Haiti's medical infrastructure, physicians and nurses in the areas of primary care, OB/GYN, orthopaedics, general surgery, and general internal medicine will be needed for many months to come. UCLA Health is also sending emergency medical supplies through a partnership with Operation USA, a non-governmental agency that is directly involved with the Haitian relief effort.

Jan 19
Rockford, Ill, Jan. 7 — My older brother, Nick, and Dad woke up at 4 a.m. to go fishing on the Pecatonica River. When dawn broke, they motored upriver and started fishing. At about 7 a.m. they caught their first fish, a 2-pound male walleye. But after that, fishing was slow, although they did snag several big carp and buffalo.
Around noon, Nick went down for a nap in the bow of the boat. Twenty minutes later, he woke up, cold and hungry, and asked Dad if they could go home.
"No, we're staying 'til dark," Dad said.
Nick accepted his father's final word on the subject, and got his pole out ready to troll. On this pole was a Rapala Fire Tiger minnow rap. The rod was Dad's Falcon Lizard Dragger II. The reel, having once belonged to our grandfather, was an Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 5000. The line was ten-year-old Trilene 10 lb. test that belonged to our great grandfather, who founded a local walleye-fishing club here in Rockford.
Nick cast out and not thirty seconds had passed before he caught a fish.
"As we reeled it in, we assumed that it was a carp or buffalo," Nick said. "The closer the fish got to the boat, we realized that this was a walleye -- and a big one!"
Official verification Dad netted the fish and successfully landed the fish into the boat. Their first instinct, as fishermen, was to keep fishing, but they soon agreed that they had to get this fish to a scale. They rushed to the boat launch, got the boat on the trailer, and drove to the local meat store, Pinnon's, to use their state-certified scale. En route was DNR officer Brian Alt, who had been at Rock Cut State Park. Upon hearing the news, he rushed to Pinnon's to verify the fish.
As soon as Officer Alt arrived, he weighed the fish on the certified scale. It looked to be a state record then, but they still needed certification from Illinois State Biologist, Dan Sallee. As Pinnon's customers cheered and clapped, the fish was flopping around on the meat counter.
After reviewing the application for state record, they weighed the fish again and printed out a sticker with the recorded weight. Officer Alt filed all of the paperwork for Nick. He left the scene, and Nick and Dad celebrated Nick's new state record.
Life-saving efforts Later that evening, Dad and Nick got the idea to try to keep the fish alive and moved it into a large, water-filled cooler with aerators. Hours passed and the two realized that maybe the fish needed the water it came out of. They called a friend, whom they knew had a horse trough, picked it up and at 9 p.m. drove out to the Pecatonica River once again, where they poured water into the 200-gallon tank.
They went out of their way to keep the fish alive, with Nick holding it upright in the cooler until his hands went numb. All through the night and into Sunday morning, they managed to keep the fish alive, but only just. At 8 a.m. the fish's death was confirmed.
Luckily, Dan Sallee had contacted them and was driving in from Sterling at 3 p.m. that day. And Brian Alt had printed the application of state record for Nick and Dad to collect at Rock Cut State Park. When Dan Sallee arrived at our house, he reviewed the documents and inspected the fish. He immediately knew that Nick's fish was in fact a state record. The fish, having passed away despite Nick and Dad's best efforts, will become a trophy mount.
Sabrina Tassoni is Nick's younger sister. She is 13, going on 14 in February, and an 8th grader at Washington Academy in Rockford. She loves to write and hopes to be an author someday.

Season 2013-14
The Hole by Ohad Naharin
The Hole, Ohad Naharin's latest creation for Batsheva was created for the spacious Varda Studio in collaboration with scenery and stage designer Zohar Shoef. Additional collaborators are lighting designer Bambi (Avi Yona Bueno), and costume designer Ariel Cohen. The soundtrack is edited and designed by Maxim Waratt.
Deca Dance by Ohad Naharin
"Naharin's choreography is so rich and was danced by his company with such raw energy that one left knowing they had witnessed something spectacular".
(Charelston Post and Courier Reviewer, May 27, 2007)
'Deca Dance' brings together memorable and favorite segments of Ohad Naharin's creations from the last 20 years, is constantly updated and offers a fresh look at choreographic materials performed by Batsheva.
Shula by Danielle Agami and Uprising by Hofesch Shechter
Batsheva Ensemble launches an evening introducing two remarkable dance pieces: World Premiere – Shula by Danielle Agami and Uprising – the renowned work by Hofesch Shechter.
Shula tries on new hats – Like all women Shula knows she has to shed and change her skin as needed, to offer a proposition, a view and few question marks facing anyone in her way. In Uprising seven men emerge from the shadows to bombard the stage with furious energy, bonding and sparring, making up and falling out. This highly charged work is set to a throbbing percussive score also composed by Shechter.
Decal'e by Ohad Naharin
"Breathtaking event" (HaBama)
A wonderful opportunity to encounter the many different faces of Naharin and Batsheva in a performance suited for the whole family. Decal'e is based on Deca Dance, composed of memorable and loved excerpts from works by Ohad Naharin.
Sadeh21 by Ohad Naharin in collaboration with Batsheva dancers
"Liberation of feelings… electrifying bodies… tuned like a fairytale orchestra, remarkable precision - and it's as beautiful as a dream" (Ynet, May 27, 2011).
Since its premiere at the Israel Festival, Jerusalem in 2011, 'Sadeh21' has been toured extensively around the world and been praised by both audiences and critics alike. The piece, created in collaboration with Batsheva dancers returns this season and will be presented in Tel Aviv
MAX by Ohad Naharin
A chapter in the search and exploration of the origins and essence of movement. Composed for 10 dancers, the piece examines formations, time and space and set to an original score by Maxim Waratt. Since its creation MAX has been presented throughout the world. This season the piece will be presented by the Ensemble dancers, who will give it a fresh and fascinating interpretation.
Kamuyot by Ohad Naharin
"Both moving and memorable"
(New York Times, March 5, 2008)
Ohad Naharin's 'Kamuyot' is immediate and toys interactively with the conventional relationship between audience and performers. It is intense, funny, poignant, inventive and powerful; unhindered by the barrier of words, it inspires dialogue and expression in the first universal language - movement and dance.
Mamootot by Ohad Naharin
What's fascinating - actually, it's all pretty fascinating - is the blend of childlike wonder and eroticism, formality and quirky personality…you're gripped, drawn in, and then most anything takes on a charge of added meaning. So it is, or at least so it was for me, with "Mamootot." (New York Times).
This season Batsheva will present Mamootot which premiered in 2003. Since then, the piece has become a timeless classic seen by thousands, presented at the most prestigious venues and festivals around the world.
The piece will be performed in Varda Studio, Suzanne Dellal Center.
Naharin's Virus - Revisited
"Naharin's creative freedom is enviable. Aware of every emotional and physical nuance, his choreography is free of restraints" (Ha'aretz, 2001)
Naharin's renowed creation from 2001 makes use of the great Austrian playwriter Peter Handke's Offending the Audience in order to explore the scope of language by its boundaries. Naharin created this piece in collaboration with Batsheva dancers and with Karni Postel as musical consultant. Original music by Postel herself, Habib Alla Jamal and Shama Khader. In 2003 Naharin received the Bessie award for Virus.

LED Streetlight Installation
Scottsdale was the first city in the valley to install energy-efficient LED streetlight fixtures on a wide scale. Approximately 25 percent of the city's streetlights are being converted to LED lighting. The majority of the installations will be in neighborhoods and at major intersections with traffic signals.
LED technology has been available to consumers for several years but has just recently become available for use in street lights. LED technology uses significantly less energy than conventional lighting, is expected to reduce the city's energy costs and last up to 15 years or longer without any needed maintenance.
Since 1997, Scottsdale has used LED technology in its red, yellow and green traffic signals and has substantially reduced energy, maintenance and repair costs.
Funding was made available through an ARRA grant for "green" or energy-efficient projects. Stipulations in the grant state the old street lights cannot be reused and must be disposed of in accordance with EPA procedures.
The new streetlights will look different than a typical street light. The LEDs will cast light out in a more uniform pattern that will be whiter and crisper than traditional street lights. Special optics in each LED allows the light to be cast out in a more uniform and focused pattern, so little or no light is wasted or misdirected.
Reducing Energy Costs
Once this wide-scale installation is complete, it is anticipated these new fixtures will reduce energy consumption by approximately 42%. That reduced energy usage equates to about 853 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions being removed from the environment, according to the EPA's greenhouse gas conversion calculator.
Currently, these fixtures are being tested at the intersection of 92nd Street and Mountain View Road. The installation work will begin in the south part of Scottsdale at traffic signal intersections and will continue into neighborhoods throughout the city where the street lights are owned and maintained by the city.

Nature's Way Echinacea -- 1 fl oz
not the usual purchase
I have used this product for years with no issues, but my latest purchase was not the usual product. I emailed Nature's Way and they didn't really help at all. The echinacea was runny and clear and it has always been thick and dark in color. I sent them the lot number and they said it was fine, but it wasn't. Vitacost has always been wonderful!

Student-athletes at Iowa's three state universities suffered twice as many concussions in practice as they did in games or competitions in 2011-2012, according to a Gazette review.
Concussions are more likely during games, but student-athletes spend more time in practice, so the numbers are higher in those sessions, said Dr. Andy Peterson, director of the University of Iowa's sports concussion clinic.
"You just have more exposure in practice," he said.
Universities across the country are taking steps to limit that exposure. The Ivy League recently restricted contact in lacrosse practices, and University of Louisville basketball players who have had a concussion wear headgear during practice to prevent fresh damage.
Some of these changes could come to Iowa — if research shows they keep athletes safer, trainers and team physicians said.
Concussions, which can cause physical and functional damage to the brain, are a top concern in college and professional sports — especially football.
Thousands of former NFL players are suing the league, saying the NFL is responsible for the long-term care of athletes suffering from dementia, Alzheimer's and other diseases that may be linked to brain injury.
Wally Hilgenberg, a UI All-American who played 16 seasons in the NFL, died in 2008 of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease, which his family believes was caused by repetitive concussions.
By the numbers
The UI, Iowa State University and the University of Northern Iowa reported 64 concussions in 2011-2012 for all sports combined, according to data obtained through an Open Records request. Of total concussions, 43 were in practice and 21 in competition.
The UI had four times as many concussions in practice as in games, with 22 and five respectively. UNI student-athletes had 11 concussions in practice and five in games. Only ISU had more concussions in competitions than in practices, with 11 and 10 respectively.
Football caused 20, or about one-third, of all concussions at Iowa's state schools last year. Wrestling came in second with 11 concussions, eight of which happened at ISU. Concussions also occurred in gymnastics, soccer, field hockey, rowing, volleyball, track and other sports at the three schools.
It's hard to tell how concussions at Iowa universities compare with other schools because the National Collegiate Athletic Association doesn't require colleges and universities to report sport injuries, including concussions.
Up to 10 percent of NCAA member institutions voluntarily report injury data to the NCAA Injury Surveillance Program, which is managed by the Datalys Center for Sports Injury Research and Prevention. Datalys provides regular reports to the NCAA Competitive Safeguard and Medical Aspects of Sports committee, which uses the data to make policy and rule recommendations.
"They're actually using that data to make informed decisions," said Tom Dompier, Datalys president.
The NCAA's recent rule change starting football kickoffs at the 35 yard line rather than the 30 yard line resulted from Datalys data showing more injuries occurred during kickoffs than in other phases of the game, Dompier said.
ISU is the only public university in Iowa that reports injury numbers to the NCAA. The UI used to send stats to Datalys, but now reports to the Big Ten Conference instead. The Big Ten and Ivy League have a new collaboration to study head injuries.
Iowa's state schools all have concussion-management plans, as mandated by the NCAA since 2010. The plans explain how each school diagnoses concussions and what steps must be followed before an athlete can return to play.
"I think we do a pretty good job making sure people are fully recovered before they come back," Peterson said.
Peterson leads a UI concussion clinic every Monday for student-athletes with fresh concussions and those who have ongoing concussion care. The clinic had 11 athletes scheduled Oct. 29, four of which were new football concussions, he said.
The tougher question is what to do with student-athletes who have had multiple concussions, Peterson said.
"We still don't know how many concussions is too many," he said.
The UI, ISU and UNI require student-athletes to take preseason tests on balance, coordination and cognitive functions. If the student-athlete gets a concussion during the season, doctors and trainers can compare baseline tests with behaviors after the injury.
The UI requires "complete physical and cognitive rest" until a student-athlete is symptom-free for 24 hours. Student-athletes must be back at their baseline tests before they can resume practice, and then only gradually.
"It wasn't easy," said Devyn Marble, a UI junior basketball player, about sitting out two weeks last year for a concussion.
After Marble collided with Matt Gatens in practice, Marble had a headache and failed several concussion tests. When he returned, Marble had no-contact practices before going back to normal play.
"It's a good policy, even though I was struggling with it," Marble said. "You have to put your safety first. They care enough about me not to let me keep playing."
What causes concussions?
Concussions result when the brain becomes mobile inside the skull because of a blow to the head, particularly one that causes the head to rotate or be violently shaken, said David Moser, a University of Iowa neuropsychologist and psychiatry professor.
While structural damage can occur, concussions cause functional damage by disturbing the brain's metabolic balance. Chemical messengers called neurotransmitters are released indiscriminately, which causes potassium to leave brain cells as calcium rushes in.
"The cells then go into a highly active state, which requires a lot of fuel — glucose — as they attempt to restore the potassium-calcium balance," Moser said.
A brain with a concussion gets less blood flow, which means less glucose. This supply-and-demand problem leaves the cells dysfunctional and vulnerable, Moser said. Physical and mental rest is required to minimize the demand on brain cells while they recover from concussion.

Legislature Approves Bill to Repay Alabama Trust Fund The Alabama House has given final passage to a bill that requires full repayment of money transferred from an oil and gas revenues savings account to the state's General Fund budget. The House voted 90-0 Thursday to approve an amendment put on in the Senate that requires repayment of the money even if the Legislature doesn't appropriate the funds. An amendment to allow the state to take the money from the Alabama Trust Fund and use it for the cash-strapped General Fund budget was approved by voters in September. Before voters decided on the amendment, Bentley and some legislators promised the money would be repaid. Bentley said he will make good on his promise to voters by signing the bill into law at 1 p.m. Wednesday at the Capitol. (Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Christie asking FEMA to fully cover costs of Sandy debris removal, emergency protection measures
Governor Christie is asking the Federal Emergency Management Agency to reimburse state and local government in full for debris removal costs and emergency protection measures in the aftermath of superstorm Sandy.
The agency traditionally reimburses 75 percent of the cost for public reimbursement, while municipal, county and state governments would be responsible for the remaining 25 percent.
"I have been highly supportive of the federal government's immediate efforts in response to Hurricane Sandy, but it has become clear that the financial burden and economic hardship still confronted by our state and communities threatens the ability to continue debris removal operations at the existing cost-share ratio," Christie said in a Nov. 30 letter to Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Craig Fugate, which was made public Monday.
In the weeks following the Oct. 29 storm, President Obama increased the federal reimbursement rate from 75 percent to 100 percent for costs associated with emergency power restoration and emergency public transportation assistance. About 8,000 utility workers, tree crews and police from states across the country came to New Jersey to help in that effort.
Last week Christie released a preliminary storm damage estimate of $36.9 billion.
In his letter, Christie said Sandy left 22,000 homes uninhabitable and another 325,000 sustained significant damage.
"The most severely affected regions of the state include the Jersey Shore from Cape May to the Raritan Bay and the barrier Islands, as well as areas along the Hudson River," he wrote. "However, each of New Jersey's 21 counties was affected by the storm's unprecedented tidal surge flooding and wind damage."
Christie asked Fugate to increase the debris removal and emergency protection reimbursement rate from 75 to 100 percent for at least 90 days saying the storm's financial impact on the state will approach nearly $40 billion and more than 150 coastal and inland towns suffered storm damage.
"Any slowing of progress in continuing these essential operations in our communities puts in jeopardy a timely rehabilitation of our shore areas, relief from economic distress, and the removal of threats to the public health and safety," Christie wrote in the letter. "For these reasons, I am requesting that the federal government exercise its discretion to grant relief to New Jersey state and local governments with 100 percent federal reimbursement."
Christie cited other instances in which the federal government offered 100 percent reimbursement for debris removal and emergency protective measures for prolonged periods, using Hurricane Ike in 2008 and Hurricane Katrina in 2005 as examples.

When Andrew Solomon started his family with his husband, John Habich, he says, people were surprised that he wasn't afraid to have children, given the topic of the book he was writing. That book, Far From the Tree: Parents, Children, and the Search for Identity, explores what it's like for parents of children who are profoundly different or likely to be stigmatized — children with Down syndrome, deafness, autism, dwarfism, or who are prodigies, become criminals, or are conceived in rape.

Cody ChesnuTT is the best sort of egomaniac. He places himself at the center of his musical universe; he contains that universe within him. On his new album, Landing on a Hundred, he sings one song in the voice of the entire continent of Africa.
Two icons, Abraham Lincoln and James Bond, make triumphant appearances this week in movies with more in common than you'd expect. True, Lincoln is a titan of history, liberator of slaves, and as such an adversary of Western colonialism, while 007 is an outlandish stereotype embodying white male Western authoritarian power. But the makers of these films do a sterling job of testing their respective subjects in front of our eyes — before pronouncing them fit to carry on in our collective imagination.

If you read Anne Applebaum's Iron Curtain as a manual on how to take over a state and turn it totalitarian, the first lesson, she says, would be on targeted violence. Applebaum's book, which was recently nominated for a National Book Award, describes how after World War II, the Soviet Union found potential dissidents everywhere.
"It really meant anybody who had a leadership role in society," she tells Fresh Air's Terry Gross. "This included priests, people who had been politicians, people who had been merchants before the war, and people who ran youth groups."

President Obama has been re-elected. Democrats and Republicans have maintained their respective majorities in the Senate and in the House. So does this mean there will be more partisan gridlock?

In Oliver Sacks' book The Mind's Eye, the neurologist included an interesting footnote in a chapter about losing vision in one eye because of cancer that said: "In the '60s, during a period of experimenting with large doses of amphetamines, I experienced a different sort of vivid mental imagery."
He expands on this footnote in his new book, Hallucinations, where he writes about various types of hallucinations — visions triggered by grief, brain injury, migraines, medications and neurological disorders.

This is my version of my mom's recipe that was made for us so often while growing up. This is sort of the Indian cousin of the risotto, since the rice grains are not separate but cooked to a porridge-like consistency. It is immensely flavorful even in the simple version I have written, but you can make a heartier version by adding extra veggies to it too. My mom used to add carrots, potatoes, and peas to it sometimes. It's delicious with pickles or a simple vegetable curry, but can be eaten by itself with a dab of butter to make it even more creamy. You'll find there is nothing too distinctive about the ingredients in this recipe, but the technique of cooking is what makes this dish decidedly different from regular pilafs etc.
