Ings: Future is bright after my nightmare
9:36am Monday 17th December 2012 in News By Suzanne Geldard, Burnley FC reporter
DANNY Ings declared his first year with Burnley the toughest of his life. But having put a double injury nightmare behind him he is looking forward to a bright future at Turf Moor.
The talented forward made his first start of the season in Saturday's 1-1 home draw with Watford, after a double suspension prompted a shake-up.
It was a significant step for Ings, who has been knocking of the door of the first team since reporting back to full training in October.
"It felt fantastic to be back," said the 20-year-old, who underwent knee surgery in the summer almost exactly 12 months after an operation on his opposite knee to repair cartilage damage.
"I've worked extremely hard to get back to being fully fit. It's been a tough year for me with both my knees being operated on but I'm there to be selected now and it's fantastic."
Injury isn't the only obstacle the former Bournemouth youngster has had to overcome this season.
Having been central to Eddie Howe's plans in the summer before disaster struck in the final friendly at Rochdale, his return to fitness coincided with his boss returning to Bournemouth and the appointment of Sean Dyche at Burnley.
Ings is mindful that a one-match ban for midfielder Chris McCann, along with defender Michael Duff, was a factor in his inclusion in the line-up to face Watford on Saturday.
But having found his way into the new manager's XI, following some impressive substitute appearances, he is planning to fight hard for his shirt.
"There's no better feeling than being back on the pitch. I enjoyed every second of it," he said.
"I've had the toughest year of my life but I'm back now, I'm fully fit touch wood and I'm building on something.
"A lot of people after having two operations could bow down and fade away but I'm not that type of person.
"Every day I'm the first one in and last one out of the training ground, I work extremely hard to get to where I am. I'm fully fit now but that's not it for me, I'm going to work hard and get stronger every day."
He added: "The suspensions opened places up. There were a few players the staff could have chosen from but I was grateful that the manager gave me the chance.
"It's been frustrating being fit and not being in the team. But I couldn't ask for a better set of team-mates, they are pushing me through and I'm grateful that I've got them.
"It was good to be back in the team and hopefully I took that chance and I can stay there.
"I'll work the same as I have done every week and hopefully be selected again.
"I just want to be selected as much as I can and do well for the team."

The simplest way is to place it somewhere in your web files (like you would an image) and then link to it:
Listen Now
There are fancier options, like using Flash, or even using the new HTML5 audio element, but if you want to support older browsers it's best to stick to Flash.

Glad that helped, Barnum. Yes, simple is beautiful, and browsers handle audio files pretty nicely these days when you just provide a simple link like that.
The new audio element is also very simple, and you can just do it like this:

Happening today, the Tucson Soccer Fest continues with the start of the Desert Diamond Cup, so it should be a busy night at the Kino Sports Complex on the south side.
Not only does the Desert Diamond Cup kickoff with two games, but there are two gem shows happening at the complex as well.
There is the rock show taking place at Kino and then there is the Kino Sports Complex gem and fossil show, they end at 5:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. tonight.
The first soccer game here starts at 5 p.m. so parking could be an issue. The tournament host FC Tucson is advising that soccer fans get to the game early. The gates will open up at 4 p.m. for the first game between New England and Seattle at 5 p.m.; then New York and Salt Lake will kick things off at 7 p.m. Both games will be at the stadium.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
The father of an infant found dead in a freezer last year is going to prison for 15 years.
Antonio Cervantes was sentenced in Lucas County court Tuesday morning.
Cervantes pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, tampering with evidence, abuse of a corpse and child endangering charges on March 11. In April of last year a person cleaning a rental home in east Toledo found the frozen corpse of a baby in a refrigerator.
Cervantes and the baby's mother, Kenisha Pruitt, were both charged in the case. In February Pruitt was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison for her part in the baby's death.

Kokomo — Not guilty pleas were entered Friday in the official misconduct case against a Howard County deputy clerk.
Michelle Ebert, 43, appeared in Howard Circuit Court with her attorney, Matt Elkin, who entered not guilty pleas on charges of official misconduct, a Class D felony; and assisting a criminal, a Class A misdemeanor.
The court then set a pretrial hearing for June 26 and a July 16 trial.
The charges accuse Ebert, who worked as a deputy clerk on the second floor of the Courthouse, of tipping off a suspect in a drug investigation about a search warrant at his residence. Ebert said she knew the man and tipped him off so he wouldn't get arrested. The man's name was withheld since he has not been charged in the case.
Ebert said she did not know any details of the investigation.
Police arrested Ebert Wednesday at her home. She was released from jail after posting 10 percent of her $5,000 bond. Ebert was suspended from her job without pay pending the outcome of the investigation.
If convicted, she could face up to three years on the Class D felony, and up to a year on the misdemeanor.

Wishing everyone a most blessed Eid al Fitr 1435! Whichever day you are celebrating on, may your Eid be joyous and full of Grace!
26/07/2014 1 Comment
In the UK if you started fasting on 30 June, Eid al Fitr should be on Wednesday, 30 July. If you started on the 29 June, Eid will be on Tuesday, 29 July. People in the Americas might be celebrating Eid as early as Monday, if they started fasting on the 27 June.
As for reports of the moon's sighting before then, no need to over react! :)

Bism'Allah al Rahman al Raheem.
In Ramadan, through fasts and prayers, we focus on remembering Allah SWT, purifying our souls and transcending our baser desires to become better Human Beings.
However, when we look around the world today, how many Muslim role models do we see in all fields of life?
For sure, there are some… but is that number really representative of the 1.9 billion of us, compared to people of other faiths and backgrounds?
Brothers and Sisters, it's time to wake up, the only people who are going to change us, IS OURSELVES!
When instead of blaming others, we strive to be better, do the best for ourselves and others, Allah SWT will support us and turn our situation around.
We must take the first steps; that my brothers and sisters is the test!
Think about it, why else do we fast and pray? Allah SWT is in need of nothing! No, these are the first steps prescribed for us, training ourselves towards success!
We must make the same effort in all areas of life, not just in matters of religion, and not just in Ramadan.
Islam is not just religion, it's a WAY OF LIFE!

There is no god but God, Muhammad is the messenger of God.
1. A number of people have asked me since last year about the excessive length of fasting during UK summer months.
2. This has included those new to the practice of fasting, elderly and middle-aged people, who wish to fast but simply cannot manage the very long days. Since last year, I've heard reports of such people in hospital, as well as of children falling seriously ill, due to fasting more than 18 hours per day.
3. The day length in London this year during Ramadan is almost 17 hours *sunrise-sunset*. Since there is no agreed beginning of dawn, the dawn-sunset timings vary from 19 to 20.5 hours.
4. The timings increase as we go further north, especially in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
a) E.g. I visited Dublin in June 2000: sunset prayers at the Dublin Islamic Centre (Clonskeagh Mosque) were held at 10.30pm, followed by night prayers at 12am and dawn prayers at 2am. Assuming dawn at 1am, this gives a 21.5-hour dawn-sunset fast.
b) On the other hand, I visited Stockholm in December 1999: sunrise was at 10.30am and sunset at 3.30pm. In winter there, the dawn-sunset fast is barely 6-7 hours, whereas it is 9-10 hours in the southern UK.
5. To reduce the fasting length, note that some of the Sahaba (Prophet's Companions), including Hudhayfa bin al-Yaman, and Successors ate until sunrise or just before. Tabari and Ibn Kathir mention numerous narrations proving this under Qur'an 2:187, although both of them reject the practice based on a literalist reading of the verse (they lived in moderate climes). Ibn Hazm also approves the practice in his Al-Muhalla.
6. The jurists have discussed this matter for high latitudes. As Sheikh Muhammad Abduh, Grand Mufti of Egypt, mentions in Tafsir al-Manar, classically they mentioned two possibilities to follow more moderate timings:
a) follow timings of the lands of revelation, viz. Mecca and Medina (Hijaz) – throughout the year, the dawn-sunset fast here is 12-15 hours
b) follow timings of the nearest "moderate land"
Abduh adds, "Both of these are valid, since it is a matter of judgment (ijtihad), and there is no unequivocal text (nass) about it."
7. Note that following timings of the nearest "moderate land" is similar to following timings of the nearest "moderate time" in your own land, e.g. spring or autumn timings, when the days and nights are approximately of equal length.
8. Abduh is not alone in the above fatwa: he is quoting from centuries of earlier jurists. After him, his fatwa has been echoed by Muhammad Hamidullah, Mustafa Zarqa, Sayyid Tantawi, Jad al-Haqq, and Ali Gomaa amongst others. Texts and discussions of these fatwas may be found on the internet, e.g. see: http://alrukn.com/long-fasts-fiqh/
9. The above fatwa implies partially decoupling fasting from dawn/sunset.
10. The spirit of fasting is clearly "from morning until evening" and to focus on its inner aspects, without hair-splitting about external matters.
11. The famous Qur'anic passage about fasting 2:183-7 begins and ends with taqwa (God-consciousness), and includes the memorable wisdom, "God wishes ease for you, not hardship … that you complete the course, magnify God for guiding you, and that you give thanks."
This verse is in fact the basis of the numerous hadiths about making matters in religion relatively easy and not difficult, of the classical Hanafi principle of istihsan (attaining goodness, even if opposed to analogical reasoning) along with 39:17-18, cf. the first page of Kitab al-Istihsan in Al-Mabsut of al-Sarakhsi, and of contemporary jurists' emphasis on taysir (easing matters), part of the Prophetic spirit and one of the principles of jurisprudence.
12. In exceptional circumstances, the Prophet (peace be upon him) understood that "morning" and "evening" were relative to people's habits and culture.
Hadith: Safwan bin Mu'attal, who as a virgin was caught up with Aisha, Mother of the Believers, in the scandalous rumours that rocked Medina after the Mustaliq expedition, eventually got married. His wife once came to the Prophet and complained about her husband on three counts. (The Prophet defended and made excuses for him regarding all three matters.) One of these was that "he does not get up for the dawn prayer, and only offers it after sunrise when he rises." When the Prophet asked him about this, he replied that his people or tribe customarily rose after sunrise, and not at the crack of dawn. The Prophet's wise answer was, "In that case, pray when you wake up." (Fa idha-stayqazta fa salli, a sound hadith in the Sunan, rated as authentic by Albani in his evaluation of the hadiths of Mishkat al-Masabih.)
Thus, for example, those who work night-shifts, working throughout the night and sleeping during the day, should fast during the night. This is because night has become day for them and vice-versa. The Qur'an that encourages fasting during the day also states that night is for sleep whilst the day is for work (e.g. 78:9-11).
13. An Azhari sheikh recently suggested to me that 12 hours' fasting was sufficient, based on the average length of a day over a whole year: this is true of the sunrise-sunset day, for every place on earth. If we use dawn-sunset instead, we get 13-14 hours' fasting. Note that this approach implies keeping a similar-length fast irrespective of the season in which Ramadan falls: in the winter, fasting would be much longer than the dawn-sunset timing, and some of us do follow that approach. This has an element of "continuous fasting" (sawm al-wisal, where fasting continues by night) about it: the Prophet practiced this regularly for several days at a time, but disallowed it for his followers, unless they were sure they could manage it.
14. I am reliably informed that Muslims in Norway use a 14-hour fasting timetable in the summer.
15. A case may be made for 16-hour fasts, based on Imam Ghazzali's view that the maximum a person should sleep at night is a third of the day and night, i.e. 8 hours.
16. Insisting that those unable to complete long fasts should make them up at another time is practically equivalent to moving Ramadan out of the summer and into the seasons of autumn, winter or spring.
All Praise belongs to God. Peace and Blessings be upon the Messengers of God.
1. Those who wish to follow dawn-sunset timings of 18-21 hour fasts and can do so safely, are free to do so.
2. Those who find this genuinely unbearable, or are convinced of the non-literalist approach of "morning to evening" rather than the literalist "dawn to sunset", may wish to fast for 12 or preferably 14-16 hours, beginning from dawn, sunrise or even their usual morning meal (breakfast!). Such moderate timings are based on the fatwas of jurists over many centuries for high latitudes.
3. Whatever length a person fasts, they should not feel superior to others. The spirit of Ramadan and fasting includes God-consciousness, patience, perseverance, gratitude, prayer, worship, charity, generosity, humility, self-purification, self-development, helping others, mercy, compassion, forgiveness, lowering the gaze (of the eyes from lustful glances and of the heart from other than God) and the remembrance and love of God.
May Allah, the One and Unique having Infinite Beautiful Names, bless all of humanity during this month, and shower upon us its internal and external grace.

The Electric Utility Board voted against terminating the employment of LP&L CEO and Director of Utilities Gary Zheng.
The motion was brought forward by board member Marc McDougal and seconded by Clayton Isom. The final vote was two in favor of termination and six against.
"I will not be supporting Dr. Zheng as the director of the utility," Isom said. "Not because I think anything wrong was done on this RFP, my feelings are due to a lack of leadership."
Electric Utility Board member Emilio Abeyta was one of the six who voted not to terminate.
"I have not seen any evidence of his failure to perform his job, especially under the severe and very difficult circumstances that LP&L faces," he said.
Isom expanded on his comments after the meeting.
"I believe the opportunity cost right now with current leadership is too high. We could and should be able to find more effective leadership," he said. "The meetings have been much more tense. When a board member is being accused of having financial gain involved and then also being talked about as having motivation to kill something that the staff worked so hard to complete, it's always going to provide a tense environment."
Multiple Electric Utility Board members are up for reappointment on Thursday but Isom believes the positions may be hard to fill.
"It's becoming tougher and tougher to get quality business minds for this board because there are many reasons not to do this," he said.
When asked why he still does it, Isom said, "I'm in the middle of my appointment."
The board also voted on three other topics.
Two key changes were approved for LP&L's tariff structure.
First, for LP&L customers who use solar, or other green technologies: if they are a net producer and don't take any energy from the grid, all they will have to pay for is their meter and infrastructure.
Second, LP&L will introduce a new rate stabilization model. It will keep one rate for the summer months of June, July, August and September and one for the other eight months of the year.
LP&L believes this will be helpful to customers.
The second vote was about LP&L's general counsel. The board voted to increase his pay to $210,000 a year.
The final vote was about outside counsel. The board decided to hire the Ashcroft, Sutton, Ratcliffe law group to take over where the Andrews Kurth law firm left off. They were dismissed by the city council last week.
LP&L representatives believe it will take the new law group around two weeks to finish conducting their investigation and present the findings.

An 18-year-old man accused of decapitating his aunt's boyfriend after being told to move out of her house pleaded not guilty to a first-degree murder charge Tuesday.
Alexis Valdez is accused of attacking and killing Silvestre Diaz-Hernandez early Christmas morning in the apartment where the three lived in the 2500 block of North Kildare Avenue, according to police and prosecutors.
During a bond hearing last December, Assistant State's Attorney Kingsley Sawyers said Valdez moved in with his aunt and Hernandez-Diaz on the condition he go to school, work and contribute to household expenses.
But eventually, Valdez stopped working and was asked to move out, Sawyers said.
Prosecutors claim he started drinking and got angry, and attacked Diaz-Hernandez with a hammer, eventually decapitating and dismembering the body.
Valdez was arrested after calling 911 to report a dead body. When police arrived, he was covered in blood and admitted killing Diaz, Sawyers said.
He pleaded not guilty before Judge Mauricio Araujo during a hearing Tuesday, and will next appear in court March 12, according to Cook County State's Attorney's office spokesman Stephen Campbell.

After struggling much of the season, the Eagles' defense finally has its act together. It has given up just 36 points in three straight wins over Miami, the New York Jets and Dallas.
In those three wins, they've allowed just 3.7 yards per carry on the ground and 5.2 yards per pass attempt. They've only given up three touchdown passes in those three wins after giving up 23 in the first 12.
But their recent success against the pass needs to be viewed in the context of the quarterbacks it came against. Against the Dolphins, it was Matt Moore and J.P. Losman. Against the Jets, it was Mark Sanchez. Against the Cowboys last week, it was Stephen McGee, who replaced injured starter Tony Romo early in the first quarter.
On Sunday, they'll go up against another less than stellar quarterback when they face Rex Grossman and the Washington Redskins. The last time the Eagles faced the Redskins in Week 6 in a 20-13 win, Grossman threw four interceptions.
Despite a league-best 49 sacks, despite the offseason additions of Pro Bowl cornerbacks Nnamdi Asomugha and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, the Eagles have had their problems stopping the pass this season.
Asomugha and Rodgers-Cromartie both have struggled to establish a comfort level with defensive coordinator Juan Castillo's scheme. Asomugha, who was used almost exclusively in press-man coverage in Oakland, has been used in various different coverages this season. Rodgers-Cromartie has been asked to play in the slot, something he had never done before and something he hasn't been very good at.
On Sunday, when the 7-8 Eagles take on the 5-10 Redskins, the Eagles will be missing two starters in their secondary. Strong safety Kurt Coleman is on injured reserve with a biceps tear and will be replaced by rookie Jaiquawn Jarrett. Left cornerback Asante Samuel is expected to miss his second straight game with a strained hamstring. Rodgers-Cromartie will move outside and veteran slot corner Joselio Hanson will play inside in nickel.
This could be a look at next year's starting secondary. Jarrett, a rookie second-round pick out of Temple, has had trouble getting on the field this season, but is expected to be given a chance to wrestle the starting strong safety job away from the undersized Coleman next summer.
The Eagles have pretty much come to the conclusion that their secondary isn't big enough for Samuel, Asomugha and Rodgers-Cromartie. So, Samuel is expected to be traded in the offseason, which will allow Rodgers-Cromartie to move outside permanently.
"Jaiquawn's had a couple of opportunities in there when other guys have been banged up and he did a nice job," head coach Andy Reid said. "So I would just expect him to continue to build on that. It's great experience for him, so I think it's a positive."
Rodgers-Cromartie often has looked lost in the slot. But he has looked a lot more like the Pro Bowl player the Eagles traded for this summer when he's played outside.
"He did good," Reid said. "He got a little bit tired there towards the end, but that's understandable. He was in there every snap and also played on a few of the special teams. I think he had fun being back outside. We asked him to cover their best receiver in a lot of cases and I thought he handled that challenge well."
SERIES HISTORY: 153rd regular-season meeting. Redskins lead series, 78-69-5. The Eagles have won four of the last five meetings, including a 20-13 win in Week 6. The Eagles intercepted Redskins quarterback Rex Grossman four times in that game.
--Wide receiver DeSean Jackson may be playing his final game with the Eagles on Sunday. Jackson is a free agent after the season. He and the team don't seem to be on the same page as far as his worth. If they use the franchise tag on him, it likely would only be for the purpose of trading him. "That's out of my control," Jackson said when asked whether he thought he'd be back with the Eagles next year. "Hopefully I will be. I consider Philadelphia my home, and the fans have embraced me and things like that. I have a job to do, which is play out my contract, and with there being one game left, I felt I had to plan for this. So we'll just figure out where it goes."
Jackson has done little this season to convince the Eagles he's worth a top-shelf contract. He's got just three touchdown catches and has just two receptions in the red zone. He was suspended for a game for showing up late for a meeting and was benched in the fourth quarter of another game after dropping three passes, including two would-be touchdowns.
--After winning a Super Bowl title with the Green Bay Packers last season, defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins thought he had a golden opportunity to win another one this year with the Eagles when he signed with them in July. But while his old team is favored to win its second straight Lombardi Trophy, his new team is 7-8 and out of the playoff hunt. "That's just how this league is," he said. "Shoot, it's eight years for me now and that's how it goes. You have up and down years and you can't get too high in the up times and you can't get too low in the down times. You know, you have to try to find what you can out of it to help you try to improve or help you get better. And that's just the way you have to look at it."
--Running back LeSean McCoy has had quite a season. He is first in the league in rushing touchdowns (17) and first in overall touchdowns (20). He is first in first downs (102). He trails Jacksonville's Maurice Jones-Drew by 132 yards in the league rushing race. And on Tuesday, he was voted to his first Pro Bowl as a starter.
"He's the best running back in the league," left guard Evan Mathis said. "The guy's amazing." With 1,309 rushing yards this season, McCoy would need 204 yards Sunday to break Wilbert Montgomery's franchise record for rushing yards in a season. That's probably not going to happen, particularly since McCoy will be playing on a sprained ankle. But he needs just 103 yards to move into second place, ahead of Ricky Watters, who rushed for 1,411 yards in 1996.
BY THE NUMBERS: 3 - The number of games this season in which Michael Vick hasn't thrown an interception.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "Yeah, he can take us to McDonald's or something." - Left guard Evan Mathis when asked whether LeSean McCoy was going to be buying his offensive linemen anything.
With LeSean McCoy's emergence as an elite running back, head coach Andy Reid and offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg have been tweaking their offense. More run, less pass. Through 15 games, 44.1 percent of the Eagles' offensive plays have been run plays. That's their highest run percentage since 2003 and the third highest since Reid became the Eagles' head coach in '99. Yes, quarterback Michael Vick and his 75 carries has had a little influence on that number. But Donovan McNabb ran the ball every now and then too.
McCoy leads the league in rushing touchdowns and is ranked second in the league in rushing with 1,309 yards. He heads into Sunday's meaningless regular-season finale against the Redskins with an outside chance to become the first Eagles back since Duce Staley in 1999 to have 300-plus rushing attempts in a season (he's got 273).
Because of the blocking-catching versatility of tight ends Brent Celek and second-year man Clay Harbor, Reid has employed more two-tight end sets this season. Almost a third of their offensive plays (308 of 976) have come out of two-tight end sets. Six-hundred fifty-two of McCoy's 1,309 rushing yards and 13 of his rushing touchdowns have come out of two-tight end formations.
--CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie will start at left corner Sunday in place of injured Asante Samuel. With Samuel expected to be traded in the offseason, Rodgers-Cromartie, who has played mainly in the slot this season, will be moving back outside where he's more comfortable.
--RB LeSean McCoy has converted 30 of 39 short-yardage situations (two yards or less) in the last 10 games.
--WR DeSean Jackson has just three touchdown catches this season. He's got just two receptions in the red zone.
--S Jaiquawn Jarrett will make just his second start of the season Sunday against Washington. The rookie second-rounder will replace injured Kurt Coleman.
--QB Michael Vick has thrown just four touchdown passes and five interceptions in his last five starts.
--CB Asante Samuel is expected to miss his second straight game with a hamstring strain. He didn't practice Wednesday. Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie will replace him on the left side.
--S Kurt Coleman was placed on injured reserve after suffering a partial tear of his biceps in Saturday's win over the Cowboys. He'll be replaced by rookie Jaiquawn Jarrett.
--RB LeSean McCoy didn't practice Wednesday. He suffered a sprained ankle against Dallas, but coach Andy Reid said it's not a high ankle sprain and said he thinks McCoy will be able to play Sunday against Washington.
--DE Trevor Laws, who sat out Saturday's game against the Cowboys with a knee injury, was a full practice participant Wednesday and is expected to play Sunday.
--RT Todd Herremans, who is nursing a sprained ankle, practiced Wednesday and is expected to play this week against the Redskins.
GAME PLAN: The Redskins are 29th in the league in rushing and will be starting a rookie - Evan Royster - at running back. Quarterback Rex Grossman threw four interceptions the last time he faced the Eagles. What the Birds want to do is stop the Redskins' ground game, put them in obvious passing situations and force Grossman into mistakes with the pass rush.
MATCHUPS TO WATCH: Eagles RDE Trent Cole vs. Redskins LT Willie Smith. Smith is an undrafted rookie with just two career starts. Cole is one of the league's top pass-rushers.
Eagles TE Brent Celek vs. Redskins Ss Reed Doughty and DeJon Gomes. Celek has 47 catches in the last 10 games and is dangerous after the catch. Doughty and Gomes play the run better than the pass.
Eagles RG Danny Watkins vs. Redskins DE Adam Carriker. Carriker is having his best season, but was in on just one tackle against Watkins and Eagles in Week 6.

Sgt. Steve White, Spc. Stevie Chebahtah and Spc. Brad Gotschall all served together in Mosul, Iraq in the 293rd MP Company. It's been years since they returned to the United States, with varying disabilities.
The Veterans Administration compensates them for those injuries with one exception: Their mouths.
Each had good oral health before going on active duty. But since returning, White has had a half dozen cavities. Chebahtah has had thirteen. And Gotschall lost most of the teeth in his mouth.
The symptoms are similar — a graying, then weakening of the teeth, followed by teeth actually breaking.
"I bit down one time, and the tooth just popped off in the sandwich I was eating," Gotschall said. "I've been blown up by an IED and hurt my back and broken limbs... and this was worse."
The problems began eight years ago, with brown spots on his teeth, a couple of months after he returned from Iraq to Breckenridge, west of Fort Worth.
Three painful incidents took him to emergency rooms, one of them to the VA hospital in Dallas when his cheek swelled to the size of a softball.
"It was huge," Gotschall recalled. "My eye was almost swollen shut."
A thousand miles away in Tallahassee, Florida, Daniel Rogers was going through the same agony.
"It was just unbelievably painful," he said. "I was losing weight every day from not eating."
Rogers was stationed with an infantry unit near Sadr City in Baghdad. Like the three MPs, he had never had any dental problems until he returned to the U.S.
"The dentists couldn't even tell me why I had so many teeth problems," Rogers said. "They couldn't give me a reason why this certain periodontal disease would not go away."
Rogers was prescribed special toothpastes and gargles — which he used — even though just brushing his teeth was painful.
At first, the soldiers thought drinking water in Iraq caused their problems. Spc. Chebahtah said she often had to drink water purchased from Iraqis when out on patrol.
Most of the soldiers' drinking water was bottled, supplied by military contractors, the vets said. Rogers said the bottles were often labeled in unintelligible foreign languages.
"You could never read where it was coming from," he said.
The VA has rejected bottled water as the source of the oral health problems.
News 8 described the soldiers' symptoms to three different medical and dental specialists, and sent photos of Gotschall's mouth for the experts to examine. All were skeptical of drinking water as the source of the problem.
Dr. Terry Rees, a periodontist at Baylor College of Dentistry interviewed Brad Gotschall. "He has good oral hygiene and good gum health," Rees said. "But his teeth are badly deteriorated."
When we went to Florida to interview Daniel Rogers, Rees told us to take a medical/dental history, which we did, using a standard form used at Baylor.
We discovered he has a 70 percent disability for post-traumatic stress disorder, which the other three soldiers have as well.
The most common diagnosis of the soldiers' problems was xerostoima, commonly known as "dry mouth." It's a condition where a lack of saliva promotes acid buildup in the mouth, eroding tooth enamel.
The most common cause of dry mouth is methamphetamine use. But none of four soldiers we talked to has used the drug, and all expressed resentment at people who suspected them of meth use when they see the condition of their teeth.
None of the soldiers complained of dry mouth, either.
Dr. Rees suspects the oral disintegration is related to serving in Iraq, but has no idea of what the origin might be.
"I think it's a lifetime process after one leaves Iraq that leads to this problem," Rees said.
Rees himself is a military veteran with 27 years of service. He says many of the stresses soldiers face in combat can lead to oral deterioration.
The problem for these veterans is that the VA doesn't pay for dental care unless a soldier is 100 percent disabled. That means soldiers are left with having to pay for huge dental bills without any government help.
Daniel Rogers had to borrow money from his grandparents to have some of his teeth pulled, and that didn't eliminate his problem.
"That's when I started losing as much weight as I did," Rogers said. He lost 37 pounds.
"My chewing teeth in the back of my mouth were all broken, and all I had left was my two front teeth, he said."
He lost those as well.
Both Rogers and Gotschall eventually did get help for their individual cases from the Iraq Star Foundation, which provides reconstructive surgery to veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars..
But for all the veterans with similar difficulties, there is no current solution because Iraq Star's funds are limited.

When George Peppard died, 19 years ago today, he was preparing to star in a new TV series, a spin-off of Andy Griffith's Matlock. In fact, he had already completed shooting on the pilot. Peppard's lung cancer hadn't kept him from working until the day he died from it.
The new role would have been one of many Peppard played, on big screen and small. He was a Civil War soldier in How the West Was Won, a business tycoon in The Carpetbaggers, a fighter pilot in The Blue Max. He almost played another business tycoon, Dynasty's Blake Carrington (the role ultimately going to John Forsythe), and he shone as renegade commando leader Hannibal in The A-Team.
But there's one role that always stands out, the one that launched him to stardom and paired him with one of the most graceful and beloved actresses of all time.
Peppard and Audrey Hepburn helped make Breakfast at Tiffany's one of the great cinema classics, a film that's timeless at the same time that it epitomizes the cool and crazy 1960s. (Well, we'll concede "mostly timeless," given Mickey Rooney's now-unfortunate Asian caricature.) Though the only awards the movie won were for Henry Mancini's pitch-perfect music, it has remained tops in the hearts of viewers for more than 50 years, finding a spot among the American Film Institute's top romantic movies and inspiring a new stage adaptation that opened this year on Broadway.
If you – like many fans – have mostly watched Breakfast at Tiffany's for Audrey Hepburn's Holly Golightly, we challenge you to watch it again for George Peppard and his fine performance. It took both stars (plus supporting actors like Buddy Ebsen and Patricia Neal) to make the movie as wonderful as it is.

Greetings from the Salton Sea
Folly and Intervention in the Southern California Landscape, 1905-2005
Distributed for Columbia College Chicago Press
Like the 400-plus species of birds that use the lake as a halfway point in their annual migration, developers flocked to the water too: they planted palm trees, built golf courses, and hired showstoppers such as the Beach Boys to perform at area resorts. These days, politicians seek to redirect the lake's only source of replenishment—agricultural runoff from surrounding farms—to water golf courses and green lawns elsewhere. Greetings from the Salton Sea's photographs capture the war among policymakers, environmentalists, developers, and the individuals still living along the lake's shores. As Stringfellow aptly documents, it is a war for water and, ultimately, for existence.
"The Salton Sea is one of the great conundrums for our time--a new place already in ruins, a toxic place that is also a wild bird refuge, a strange mix of debris and sublimity that Kim Stringfellow's pictures and history portray compellingly." --Rebecca Solnit
"Kim Stringfellow's odyssey into the Salton Sea excavates cultural relics and treasures that surprise and astound. She weaves the fragments, tatters, and shards that she found into a salty tale that makes one nostalgic for the Sea's future, something that seems always around the bend. She has added an eloquent new exhibit to this museum of decay."
"Stringfellow's images, taken alone, may be understated, but seen in numbers and backed by her crisply elucidating text, they make for quite a saga."

In the third middleweight tango on the UFC 162 main card, two-time collegiate wrestling Big-12 champ and All-American Mark Munoz draws the fiercely uncivilized Tim Boetsch in match up that will ultimately influence the top-end of the 185-pound rankings. The five-fight pay-per-view event stars incomparable UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva defending his title against Chris Weidman and starts at 10:00 p.m. ET on Saturday night.
Both Mark Munoz (12-3) and Tim Boetsch (16-5) debuted in the UFC as light-heavyweights: Munoz at UFC 96 with a 5-0 record and on the heels of slaughtering two foes in the WEC by 1st-round KO, and Boetsch at UFC 81 with a 6-1 record (lost to Vladimir Matyushenko in the IFL) and violent finishes in every win (3 TKO's, a guillotine and 2 submissions via strikes; 4 of 6 stoppages in the 1st round).
The results of their respective Octagon premieres were vastly different, however. Munoz ate an early high kick from Matt Hamill and suffered his first career loss in devastating fashion whereas Boetsch earned a special place in the heart of fans by unforgettably tossing David Heath face-first into the canvas like a schoolyard bully collecting lunch money. Hamill enters the equation once more, as "The Hammer" went on to finish Boetsch by 2nd-round KO in Boetsch's following match.
Another common opponent between the two is Yushin Okami, a staple in the Top-5 middleweight rankings: Okami edged Munoz by split decision and was on his way to a dominant decision over Boetsch before "The Barbarian" uncorked a vicious hail of leather in the waning moments of the last round to mount a dramatic come-from-behind TKO. To summarize their middleweight stints in the UFC, Munoz ends up at 7-2 with losses only to Okami and current #1 contender Chris Weidman while Boetsch just saw a 4-fight surge snapped by Costa Philippou.
Munoz has been criticized by some for not transferring his All-American-level wrestling to the cage, but, with Chael Sonnen at 205, Chris Weidman and Okami are the only current 185ers that one could reasonably assess as better with takedowns -- so being one of the top three MMA wrestlers in the world isn't too shabby. To widen that scope of middleweight wrestlers/takedown artists, the next two candidates would probably be Hector Lombard and Boetsch.
Boetsch was utterly dominant in his high school wrestling career, snaring the state championship all four years, but didn't set the world on fire at the collegiate level for Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania (D1). Regardless, Boetsch is still a commanding wrestler but, of more importance, he's just dauntingly imposing physically. The effortless keg-tossing of Heath was definitely a harbinger of the primitive savagery that makes Boetsch's nickname so befitting.
Generally, Munoz is more inclined to pursue singles and doubles from outside, relying on his quick level changes and powerful explosiveness after flinging leather as a decoy. Boetsch's shots from outside are still decent but they're somewhat lacking in set up, fluidity and penetration, leaving clinch takedowns as the preferred method. The Matt Hume product almost shows signs of Judo with his leg-reap, head-and-arm or body-lock trips and throws. In contrast to his shots from distance, Boetsch's natural tendency to march straight ahead while mashing whatever is unfortunate enough to be in front of him with knees and fists serves as a pretty decent set-up when he switches from striking to clinch-takedown attempts.
A safe way to summarize the wrestling aspect: both are amongst the division's upper-end of wrestling talent and I don't expect either to have a massive, glaring advantage in the takedown department, though a slight edge could go to Munoz from outside and Boetsch in tie-ups. That's not to say one can't have the wrestling advantage in either category, but doing so would entail clever timing and instincts, or executing the best possible set up to cloak the attempt more so than strict wrestling potential or accolades.
I wouldn't consider Munoz a largely strategic fighter but, especially compared to Boetsch's more brash and direct approach, he's more calculating and methodical. Boetsch tends to lower his head from outside and barge into range with a big right hand before looking to work the clinch or takedowns, and Munoz lays back a tad more while trying to get a read on his opponent's movement and attack patterns; this in between intervals of intelligently aggressive offense.
Munoz has cleaned up his boxing over the years and has managed to transfer the same ungodly power of his ground-and-pound on the feet with a smoldering straight right. Munoz has more of a tendency to counter-strike and formulate two- and three-punch combinations in rhythm.
Overall, Boetsch usually stays in one gear and thrives when he can stay in his opponent's grill and make the fight a fight, and Munoz imposes his game with tactical and sporadic outbursts. And those tendencies have been a strength and a weakness for both -- Boetsch struggles when he encounters a more technical adversary or one he can't muscle around (Hector Lombard, Phil Davis, Costa Philippou) and Munoz doesn't like being pressured constantly or lured into a fast-paced brawl (Demian Maia, Chris Leben and Weidman).
Boetsch deserves a mention for being particularly gritty in the clinch. Not only do most of his takedowns come from that position, but he inflicts paralyzing head control with the single or double collar tie and throws some nasty knees as well. In fact, I expect Boetsch will endeavor to spend much of his time in the clinch with Munoz, where he can lean on him, keep him in his cross-hairs for knees and dirty boxing and threaten with takedowns. I see Munoz being a bit more comfortable in open space, especially if he can't put Boetsch on his back early, and trying to gain ground with accurate boxing combos.
In a way, these guys are really similar. They both have decent striking with huge power, they're capable wrestlers and imposing their size/physicality is an integral factor. I expect a feeling-out period to start this match with either intending to physically control the pace. Boetsch will likely be game to lock horns immediately, so I feel the 1st round and whoever can have his way the other will set the tone for the remainder. There are logical cases on both sides but I tend to agree with the narrow margin favoring Munoz on the betting lines.
My Prediction: Mark Munoz by decision.

No. 2 WILSON RAMS
Coach: David Alwert
Record: 9-0; 3-0 in 3A Narrrows
Highlight wins: Defeated Canyon Springs (Nev.) (10-3) 95-91 in OT (Tournament of Champions Holiday Classic at Franklin Championship). Defeated Franklin (8-1) 64-56. Wilson's won other seven games by an average of 36.0 points.
Strength: No go-to scorer. For some teams, this would be a detriment. When you're as deep as Wilson, it's a positive. Everyone gets involved.
Weakness: Shooting. Around the rim - excellent. Beyond that? A work in progress.
Projected starters:
PG 5-9 Ivy Smith Jr. (Jr.)
Smith isn't a senior, but he might as well be in Alwert's eyes. He plays like one, too, orchestrating Wilson's offense with great ball-handling and few turnovers. But Smith is far from just a floor general as he knows how to create his own shot (even if he doesn't necessarily always take shots Alwert approves of).
G 6-1 David Jenkins (So.)
If there's one thing that concerns Alwert about his roster, it's who will carry the Rams in the fourth quarter when the game is close. Jenkins has shown he might be the guy, scoring key baskets down the stretch in Wilson's lone close games -- Franklin and Canyon Springs.
G 6-1 Montre Brown-Lofton (So.)
His toughness and athleticism make him a solid rebounder, defender and finisher at the basket, but to become complete player he'll need to continue to work on his jumpshot. Then again, how many players are complete when they're sophomores in high school?
G 6-4 Jamal Welch (Sr.)
Loves getting above the rim in transition and has solid stroke from 3-point range -- one of the few Wilson players who does right now. Fits perfectly in Rams starting lineup because he adds facets it needs: Senior presence and 3-point accuracy.
P 6-6 Alphonso Anderson (So.)
He said his plan throughout middle school was to attend Lincoln. Instead, he chose Wilson, where he's emerged as a force in the paint. Has the makings of an excellent rebounder, especially on the offensive end. Finishes well around the rim and has developing outside game.
Key subs: P 6-3 Robert Knox (Sr.); W 6-3 Keun Thompson (Jr.)
Coach Alwert isn't shy about proclaiming this as the deepest team he's ever coached, and it's not just because of the Rams' balanced starting lineup. Wilson has received huge contributions off its bench, led by senior post Robert Knox. The bench might have played better than Wilson's starters in a win against Timberline on Dec. 18 and Knox scored a huge 16 points in an overtime win against Canyon Springs on Dec. 28.
No. 4 LINCOLN ABES
Coach: Aubrey Shelton
Record: 8-0, 2-0 in 3A Narrows
Highlight wins: Defeated SPSL South favorite Beamer, 61-55, at home in first game of season. Defeated reigning 3A finalist Lakeside of Seattle, 61-48. Defeated GSL playoff contender Gonzaga Prep, 50-49, in opening round of Bellarmine Prep Christmas Classic. Defeated host Bellarmine Prep, 62-48, to win holiday tournament. Defeated Foss, 61-40, on road last week.
Strength: Will defend you from sun-up to sundown – all 32 minutes with no apologies.
Weakness: In all but one game, Abes have been scoring in 60-point range. Is that enough scoring to beat the best teams in the state?
Projected starters:
PG 6-1 Londrell Hamilton (Fr.)
Don't let the age fool you – he acts like a season war general. If defenders allow him to get into the lane, it is pretty much over. Either he will finish it off with a crafty basket or a did-you-see-that pass.
SG 6-2 Josiah Barsh (Jr.)
If the Abes have a go-to scorer, he is the guy. The youngest of a bazillion brothers, he has the sweetest shooting strokes of all coming from the left-hand side. Underrated getting to the hoop, too.
G/F 6-0 Dionte Simon (So.)
Started every game last season as a ninth grader, even playing point guard. He's now been moved to wing where he has the freedom to do what he's best at – defending an opponent's best perimeter scorer.
G/F 6-4 Cameron Collins (Jr.)
The Abes' junior varsity MVP last season has the look of a premier big shooting guard. Is strong enough to get into the lane for tough shots and has the skill to knock down mid-range shots … and beyond.
C 6-6 Justice Martion (Sr.)
Truly the team's only pure inside threat opponents have to prepare for. Very active with nice post-up moves, all he has to do is finish shots. And he has the hops to block 10 shots a game. That is no joke.
Key subs: G 6-0 Trevion Brown (So.); F 6-2 Jusstis Warren (Jr.); G 5-10 Shon Peterson (So.); F/C 6-5 Isaiah Smalls (Sr.)
An all-underclassmen cast of key reserves are also huge contributors. If Lincoln needs offense, it plugs in Brown, who arguably is the team's second-best scorer behind Barsh. He's a very reliable shooter. If the Abes need hustle, Peterson is the guy to get in any guard's face. And if they need interior toughness, they just call upon Smalls and Warren, who has recently returned from a knee injury.
Cotterill's TNT pick: Wilson, 63-56.
Milles' TNT pick: Wilson, 70-64.

He hauled in just 41 passes in 14 games in 2010, his lowest reception total since he became a starter in 2006.
Cotchery believes his New York Jets career could be over.||||||| The veteran wide receiver has been the subject of trade rumors and says he expects to be released if Derrick Mason - brought in by the Jets for a visit - passes his physical. Mason, a free agent who knows Jets coach Rex Ryan from their days in Baltimore together, was scheduled to meet with the Jets on Thursday. Cotchery, drafted by New York in the fourth round in 2004, is currently on the physically-unable-to-perform list while recovering from offseason back surgery.
Cotchery was listed as limited in practice Thursday but expects to return from a slight groin tear this week.||||||| Cotchery suffered his injury at Cleveland on Nov. 14.

EV-W wrestlers fall short v Kimball
Published on Sunday, 30 December 2012 14:14
Written by Pat Garry, Staff Writer
Hits: 1291
According to believers in "biorhythms," a person's life is affected by rhythmic biological cycles which affect one's ability in various domains, such as mental, physical, and emotional activity. Apparently, the majority of the Eagles' wrestlers were experiencing very low, physical biorhythm levels last Thursday night.
In the 14 EV-W v Kimball wrestling matches, there were more pins on the mats than in grandma's sewing box. Eleven of the matches resulted in falls (pins) for the victorious combatants. Unfortunately, just 3 of those pins belonged to the Eagles. The home town boys put up a valiant effort, but this night would belong to the Kimball Cubs. EV-W's Matt Schindler, 106-pound division; Logan Donnay, 113-pound division; and Hunter Mathies, 126-pound division, achieved falls in each of their bouts
Coach Dan Berg summed up the evening. "As a whole, we wrestled very well, but to win duals like that you have to shave points and not get pinned." Win or lose, Berg sees the positives. "It was fun to see the packed house and promote the elementary programs before the match. That's when wrestling is fun – when the gym is roaring like that!" Berg remains very confident in his team, and despite the disappointing Kimball match, he still sees a final four appearance at year's end. Cain Renner (EV-W) pinned Skyler Schiefelbein for one of 5 EV-W pins.

Postpartum Abdominal and Perineal Pain
The afterpains of childbirth can linger well after delivery. Here's what to expect with postpartum perineal pain and how to cope.
The pain of those contractions may already be a distant memory (or one you're trying to shut out), but you're not out of the achy woods yet. Your body — most notably your perineal area (especially if you delivered vaginally) or your lower abdominal area (if you delivered via C-section) — has taken quite a beating during childbirth. After all, you can't expect some seven or eight pounds of baby to pass through through your perineum or abdomen without leaving a painful calling card or two.
While most of the initial intense discomfort usually passes within seven to ten days postpartum, many women feel the lingering effects of childbirth for weeks after delivery (finding it uncomfortable to sit after a vaginal birth or bend over after a cesarean, for instance). If you've had a vaginal birth, the entire perineal area and rectum will be swollen for a few weeks. You can also expect the site of any stitches (either from a perineal tear, episiotomy, or C-section) to be sore and sensitive for a few weeks. Itchiness at the site is also common.
Having bowel movements may be uncomfortable for a number of weeks, so be sure to drink lots of fluids and step up the fiber in your diet so you won't have to strain (FYI, those chocolates everybody keeps bringing you don't usually have a lot of fiber in them). You might also want to ask your practitioner about using a stool softener.
Your practitioner has probably put the brakes on intercourse until six weeks postpartum (and you're probably thinking: No sex? No problem!). But while you're waiting for the green light to get busy (sex-wise, that is), try to put that time (and your pelvic muscles) to good use. Resume Kegel exercises to stimulate circulation, speed healing, and restore good muscle tone (so that when you do resume sex, you'll enjoy it more — though probably not right away). Most of all, relax and give yourself time to heal. Full recovery won't occur overnight, but it will happen eventually.
