The Bears were exposed in this matchup versus a great NFC opponent, San Francisco 49ers. The major weakness of the Bears is their offensive line. Jamarcus Webb and Gabe Carimi are just not developing or showing any signs that they can slow down pass rushers. Against teams with great pass rushers, the Bears QB's, coaches, and offense has no chance because Webb and Carimi cannot slow them down. They simply are not capable. Defensively, Kaepernick, backup QB for the 49ers had a breakout game. Kaepernick made few mistakes and the 49ers offense was able to get a steady rhythm. Also, the 49ers defense was everywhere and they were punishing the Bears. Brandon Marshall was double covered all night. Forte was able to be slightly effective, but not enough to carry his team. Again, the theme here is that the Bears haven't got two tackles that are capable of playing the position. Below is my OFFENSIVE player breakdown of Monday Night Football game versus the San Francisco 49ers. Defensive breakdown is coming soon.
QB Jason Campbell: 14/22, 107 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT.
Campbell came into the game with 74 wins as starter.He got sacked early and often. Got sacked on 3rd&2 by Jamarcus Webb's guy. Jason had no time and threw an interception in the 2nd quarter. If you just watched the game and didn't replay some of this sacks, you would assume Campbell didn't have a good game. But the problem was he didn't have much of an opportunity. After getting banged up, he had a good scramble run for first down in the 3rd quarter. He was also able to complete a good screen pass to RB Michael Bush on that same drive, but a holding penalty stalled that drive. At one point late in the 3rd quarter, Cambell was 1/5 on 3rd downs. However, thanks to a CRAZY, HORRENDOUS "illegal push in the back" penalty by San Francisco, Campbell was able to throw a touchdown pass to Marshall (in 3rd qtr). The crazy penalty was called after the Bears QB scrambled away from pressure, but suffered a sack/fumble that went out of bounds. Should've been 4th down and the Bears would've punted from midfield. But thanks to the bad call by the ref, Bears got new life. Campbell basically threw up a jump ball to Marshall. Later, Campbell threw his second interception.
RB Matt Forte: 21 carries, 63 yards, 0 TD, Longest rush 8 yards. 3 catches, 4 yards
The Bears really pounded the run game early with Forte. He was getting positive yards. You could tell Coach Tice and Smith made Forte the emphasis early with their starting QB out. The first 8 offensive plays for the Bears went 6-2 rush- pass Forte had some big runs that extended drives, especially one big rush for a 1st down on 3rd & 1. Again, the offensive line made the Bears one-dimensional. They could not pass, because of the tackles not being able to block. This had a great effect on the run game. The 49ers defense is one of the best at stopping the run and when you can't pass, it's harder to run.
WR Alshon Jeffery: 2 catches, 15 yards
Alshon made a nice catch in the 1st quarter. But other than that, the offensive line did not give the QB anytime to drop back and pass. It is nice to see him back in his first game since suffering a broken hand.
WR Brandon Marshall: 2 catches, 21 yards, 1 TD. Longest reception was 13 yards.
Brandon Marshall got what every team is going to do to him, which is double him all night. 49ers' secondary is one of the best in the league. Campbell had no time to throw the ball, except for this late 3rd quarter scramble. Campbell just threw the ball up in the air for Marshall, who was one on one (for probably the only time all night) with a 49ers cornerback. Marshall leaped up and made the "jump ball" catch over the defender. Marshall battled all night, but seemed to get frustrated with the lack of Bears production. There was even a sideline incident that Marshall seemed to have lost his patience. Can't blame him, just hope Brandon keeps his head up and going in the right direction. He's done a great job this season so far with his attitude. This is a game that can bring the worst out of players.
WR, KR, PR Devin Hester: 3 catches, 23 yards, 0 TD, Longest catch 9 yards. Return game was nonexistent
Nothing really stands out about Hester. It was good to see him get some catches. The special teams return game was nonexistent. Give credit to the 49ers players and coaching staff for bottling him up all night long. Hester had 3 punt returns for 0 yards. Hester also had an average of 25 yards per return on kickoffs. No return was longer than 30 yards.
RB Michael Bush: 5 rushes, 9yards. 1 catch, 18 yards
Just like his stats say, there wasn't much room for him to run. Bush did have a good reception in a screen pass play late in the 3rd quarter.
TE Kellen Davis: 2 catches, 20 yards
The passing game was non-existent. In my opinion, we should still have Greg Olsen. This position will take years to replace. Thank Mike Martz for trading away one of our biggest offensive weapons.
LT Jamarcus Webb: Responsible for at least 3 sacks (and that's being generous)
Jamarcus Webb proved he cannot block the other team's best defensive pass rush. Webb was responsible for the 1st, 2nd , and 3rd sacks of the game on Campbell. Throughout this game he proved he can't block. He also got abused on the backside blocking of running plays. If you have DVR, next time Bears QB gets sacked, rewind it and see where the pass rusher came from. Not that I should be giving the other linemen a pass, but Webb appears to be the worst one out there. He does play the left tackle position, which is the most important to protect your QB's blind side. Well, the starter is already out of the game due to a concussion and the backup QB was pushing himself off the field all night. To continue our Jamarcus Webb bashing, he missed his blocking assignments. Late in the 2nd half, Webb got caught blocking down on a pass play to double on an interior pass rush. Instead he should've played one on one with the defensive end, who was clearly coming around the edge. Instead this resulted in just another sack. I'm not done yet. The most maddening part was how often Webb was bull-rushed or driven back into the QB. This was the cause of 2 or 3 sacks. Give credit to the 49ers defensive line, because they proved way too much to handle for the Bears offensive line. Bears need to find a replacement at left tackle if they will find any consistency in passing game. Cutler probably appreciated the whole country seeing what he has to go through on a play-by-play basis.
LG Chilo Rachal:
Chilo was responsible for a crucial holding penalty that brought the Bears back to midfield when the offense was threatening to cut the game to two touchdowns. At the score of 27-7, Bears found a little bit of life. After a scramble by Campbell to get a first down, a screen pass was called back because of Rachal's holding penalty. The entire left side of the line needs replaced. Rachal came to Chicago at the end of preseason from San Francisco.
RG Lance Louis:
Not much to report here.
RT Carimi: Gave up the sack fumble that was called back for "illegal push in the back" by San Francisco.
Gabe has not shown he is big enough or strong enough to keep defensive ends from pushing him right back into the QB. Gabe was not any more impressive than Jamarcus Webb. The entire second half, Carimi was pushed back into the QB. I know he played left tackle in college, but it doesn't matter what side this guy plays on because he's getting bull-rushed right into the QB on multiple occasions. Credit the 49ers defensive line, but the Bears need to address this issue if they want to be NFL elite.
C Robert Garza:
Not much to report here
TE: Evan Rodriguez: 0 catches, 1 Drop
A lot of Chicago fans are calling for Rodriguez to get the start at TE, but in this game he dropped his only opportunity. He hasn't shown me any signs that he is the answer at TE or that he is ready to start.
1st HALF Drives:
- Punt, Punt, Int, punt, time ran out
2nd HALF Drives
- Punt, illegal push in back - TD, INT, safety, turnover on downs, ??
- Bears worse team in NFL on first downs.

Guilty as Charged
Dear Fair Isle Sock #1,
We have known each other for what, 3 weeks now? After all we went through in the beginning, I think we have developed a pretty solid relationship. What I am about to say may hurt, but I want you to know that I am still devoted to finishing your other half. The other day, a couple skeins of Patons Classic Wool arrived on my doorstep. You see, I am about to start a new project (Hooded Cardigan). Yes, yes, I fully intend to finish your other sock first, but just hear me out. The color is Moss Heather and it's simply irresistible. A beautiful mix of moss green and an earthy brown make this heathered yarn so yummy that I can hardly contain myself. Here is the bad part, so you may want to sit down. I did a gauge swatch. There, I said it. I feel much better now that this is out in the open. I hope we can still be friends and continue this beautiful (and colorful) relationship. Please accept my apology. I swear, I will never gauge check in your presence again.

A puzzling crime has left the town of McMinnville wondering for four years now. A well-respected grandmother was found dead in her own living room, and to this day, there have been no arrests.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and Warren County Sheriff's Office have now doubled the reward in the Rebecca Mooneyham case to $5,000.
Sheriff Jackie Matheny said he has worked quite a few murder investigations over the course of his career, but none of them compares to that August night four years ago when Mooneyham was shot while sleeping in her recliner.
"There was a vehicle that pulled up that night. The neighbors heard it stop, heard the gunshot and heard the vehicle speed off," Matheny said. "It's just goes beyond understanding and comprehension why anyone would harm such a wonderful lady."
The fatal bullet came through a picture window as Mooneyham's daughter slept on a couch just a few feet away.
"The shot woke her up, and she went to see about her, and realized what had happened and ran down the hall screaming," said daughter Lisa Davis.
There were no drugs involved and investigators have ruled out robbery as a motive.
They say Mooneyham didn't have an enemy in the world, and they're completely stumped why anyone would have murdered her.
"It is something that truly bothers me and bothers our entire staff. It's hard to comprehend why anyone would hurt her, because she was such a good woman, but we're working on it," Matheny said.
There's one chilling fact that haunts family members.
"It seemed to be a calculated shot. I mean, someone stopped and took aim while she was asleep. It seems highly unlikely that a random shot in the house would have done that," Davis said.
They're hoping a $5,000 reward will jog someone's memory and help police get a killer off the streets.
"We know someone knows something," Davis said.

I'm writing this just because they should not be given the opportunity to say they weren't aware. They should not be able to forget exactly who they hired. They should not be permitted to delude themselves that they did nothing wrong. (They did everything wrong. They chose to pay him.) He's busy hounding Cathy. Cathy was a waldorf/steiner school mother. Sune Nordwall thinks it's fair game to hound her for voicing criticism. He thinks it's all right to speculate about who she is and where she lives (with her family and young children), despite our explaining, over and over again, why this is very harmful and also entirely unnecessary (he has nothing to gain from it — except the pleasure of intimidation). He has created websites about her, and is writing all sorts of nasty stuff about her. I cannot say if it is really so, but it seems to me he may be using — or I should say abusing — Cathy as a means to dissuade others from speaking their minds, it's a warning: look at the intimidation that follows if you don't keep your views to yourself.
Though it is quite difficult to believe for anyone who's read their respective writing, he deludely thinks that Cathy and Thetis are the same person. They are most definitely not. I know this. You may choose to believe Sune Nordwall of course, if you're inclined to believe the mad and the fanatic, but I think you ought to believe me. I know Cathy, Thetis and Lovelyhorse. They really are three different people. Three different mothers who, for different but very good reasons, weren't satisfied with waldorf/steiner education. None of their arguments have anything to do with their identities, however.
There's no good reason for an elderly man, an employee of the Swedish Waldorf School Federation, to hound anyone of them personally, to go after anyone of them as persons, the way he does with Cathy, instead of engaging with their arguments and opinions. And there's no reason in the world for him to go after Cathy when the person he wants to target — but can't because she's more anonymous than Cathy — is Thetis. In a way, he does manage to target Thetis in this roundabout way — she now knows that when she writes something, like the posts at DC's blog, he'll go after Cathy for it. Thetis, naturally, doesn't wish a friend to be subjected to Sune's harassment because of something she's written. It is unfair — to both of them. He's eager to take advantage, of course; he's always been, it seems.
He has published a couple of new webpages about me lately too. At this time, I think they're better ignored. But the concerns, and the questions I have, apply to these pages as well. He has speculated about me, too, and been laughably wrong.
It's also worth noting what's mentioned below about the banned discussions, forum members and the deleted forum posts (and entire threads) doesn't pertain only to Mumsnet. There were other discussion in other places, among them the Green Parent forum, on which Nordwall managed to have people banned and posts deleted. Somewhere, around this time, he also threatened Times Educational Supplement over a discussion on their forum, and he threatened me that he'd sue me if I disobeyed him, which I've done repeatedly since — with no consequences whatsoever. (You can find the quotes in this post in Swedish — the quotes are in English.) The thread was then closed, possibly even deleted. These are only a few examples of many; it is his habit to report and get deleted practically everything he doesn't like. Trying to bluff people about the legal implications of what they write or allow to be published is one of his other really bad habits. It's impossible to say how successful he really is. What is possible to say, however, is that it is a major disgrace for an educational movement to avoid rejecting this behaviour of his outright.
Why would a national waldorf school organization choose to support this person — why would they choose to support his methods? Beats me. I have no answer. It's really beyond any reasonable person's comprehension. He's been doing this for years — they should have known (and I'm inclined to think they did), they should have reacted, they should have explained that they take exception to his methods (unless, of course, and this is the inevitable conclusion: they support them). Most importantly, they should never have hired him. And now that they have, they should post an open statement about this on their website. People have a right to know who they're dealing with and all the names and aliases he's operating under.
Why would they support a man who's made it his life's purpose to hunt down and intimidate former waldorf parents? Do they think this makes them look like less of a cult? (I can assure them that the opposite is true.)
If this was only about Sune Nordwall himself, we might very well conclude he's your average fanatic, no longer thinking properly or independently, stuck as he is in his madly looping brain. But they hired him. He's now their problem, the phenomenon Sune Nordwall, in all his madness, is now theirs to explain. Why did they think he's doing such a great job it's worth paying for? Why are the waldorf schools and kindergartens happy with how their organization acts?
I'll address you directly: why are you paying Sune Nordwall? Why are you paying for what he's doing — rather than explicitly and unambiguously rejecting it? I will never begin to understand this, unless, at least, you offer an explanation. What is your excuse?
In order to make it easier for the Waldorf Federation to follow the debate they hired Sune Nordwall to monitor, I've taken the liberty of compiling a few comments and quotes from a recent blog discussion, in which Sune Nordwall made a rather pathetic appearance, first trying to smear others and, when it didn't work as he hoped, reverting to post about celebrities who like waldorf, before disappearing (another old habit of his).
Me: Sune Nordwall (The Bee, et c) is an employee of the Swedish Waldorf School Federation, the equivalent of the British organization SWSF. His main task is, according to a document I found, to monitor the debate. In reality, what Nordwall is doing is keeping busy trying to shut discussion down and have critical viewpoints erased from the internet. It's true though that he's been doing the same thing for years, long before they started to pay him for it. To hound critics — former parents and students, not to speak about certain academics — has been his life's purpose, it seems, for years, even decades. I urge everybody to take his websites with a large grain of salt.
Cathy: … Sune Nordwall is paid to monitor discussion. To date, he has used about ten or more pseudonyms, often women's. He also goes after mothers. He is, at the moment, circulating pieces on the internet with inaccurate and denigrating statements about people who dare to write what is inadmissible material about Steiner … . He apparently thinks several people are one…. … He's not the only anthroposophist to use this intimidating tactic (I and others have had some scary emails from other people). One mother who had spoken publicly about their experiences told me someone had made death threats and she had received hate mail.
[Sune replied, mistakenly believing Cathy was referring to Deby Snell.]
Sam: Sune, you and your movements behaviour is absolutely appalling. Why do you and your movement write files on parents who have spoken out about the schools? Don't you think they have gone through enough distress already.
Cathy: No, it wasn't Deborah Snell I was talking about who had death threats, it was someone around this time last year who you haven't been able to get at. A friend told me she had contact with someone else who had had death threats too.
The Waldorf Survivors group has had nearly 5000 enquiries, people who may want support after having disturbing experiences at Steiner waldorf institutions. People too afraid to go public many of them. Luckily you can't get to all of them.
You have been stalking me around the net for a long time. That is the only way you could possibly have found and published what you thought was my address. You have written things about me which are supposition, mixed me up with different people, made taunting remarks, published where I live when I have begged you to stop. I find your behavior is obsessive and intimidating.
I have children who have a life, as I do. Leave it alone and address the very real problems your precious movement is facing. What you have written about Dr Peter Staudenmaier is a scandalous disgrace, I can't see how you dare.
Stop the personal attacks and answer the questions parents are asking.
[...]The reason comments were deleted were most likely because you threatened them with action as you apparently did at mumsnet, where Justine wrote this
" We still find our inbox filled with reported posts and have received a fair few threats of legal action too. Here's the sort of mail we are getting:
"If I see her posting promotion of libel at Mumsnet once more, I won't tell you about it, but ask Percy Bratt of Bratt and Feinsilber in Sweden to contact you in cooperation with the legal representatives of The Steiner Waldorf Schools Fellowship in the UK and Ireland (http://www.steinerwaldorf.org/index.html), about your negligent way of allowing libel to be published at Mumsnet and the one who is the most fervent publisher of it to continue to publish at Mumsnet." …
Sam: … The fact that Sune Nordwall is paid by the Steiner Waldorf movement to write files and slanderous nonsense about parents and Dr Peter Staudenmaier is indeed a scandal.
Sune, I presume you are specifically targeting the UK forums because of the possibility of Steiner schools obtaining Free School funding? …
Also to Sune, as a representative of the Steiner Waldorf movement, why did you pose as a mother on Mumsnet? …
[I wasn't sure if I should even quote Sune. It seems somehow immoral to perpetuate his lies. But I do it for context, and his post is quite telling.]
Sune Nordwall: Cathy's anti-Steiner crusade at Mumsnet however was so overwhelming and obsessive in so many forums, a number of which she invited other discussants at Mumsnet to follow her to to support her crusade (of which forums some on their own initiative decided to ban her for her intense trolling), that I felt I needed to describe and address it.
I did it as a private person, only representing myself and noone else, as always when I participate in discussions or write on the net.
My work as part time media reporter after the Mumsnet discussions in 2008 on what is published in general in different media to the Swedish Association of Waldorf schools, mainly in Sweden, regarding or related to Steiner Waldorf education, only includes pure media reports, expressly not to in any way represent them.
Sam: Sune, from my experience mothers had no other choice but to go onto other forums because you forced them to do so. I have watched you bully and harass parents seeking support on parenting forums, you also report posts threatening legal action unless they are deleted.
You also state 'I did it as a private person, only representing myself and noone else, as always when I participate in discussions or write on the net'.
You are not being honest, here is the original document in Swedish, now archived as it was quickly pulled stating you are employed by the Steiner Waldorf movement to 'monitor' the net: http://www.webcitation.org/5q7GTGVTz (p.9) and translation:
'The blog debate
In England, the attacks on [waldorf] pedagogy have led to parents withdrawing their children from the waldorf schools. The [Swedish Waldorf School] Federation has employed Sune on a part-time basis to monitor the debate'. http://zooey.wordpress.com/2010/05/29/supervising-the-attacks/
Your failure to admit any responsibility for your actions and behaviour is sadly mine and many others experience of your movement as a whole.
Pete Karaiskos: Sune, you are never honest, and I'm pretty sure I've even caught you lying right here. [. . .]
You said about shutting down criticism at Mumsnet.com "I did it as a private person, only representing myself and noone else, as always when I participate in discussions or write on the net."
Now, we also have a letter from Mumsnet that you wrote. [. . .]
Now, Sune, you specifically say your legal representation (P. Bratt) represents or works in cooperation with The Steiner Waldorf Schools Fellowship in the UK and Ireland. That is NOT the work of an individual… sorry.
So… it's one or the other… Were you lying when you said your attorney represents the Waldorf Fellowship in the UK, or were you lying when you said you work as an individual when you threaten posters? Did you lie about not representing Waldorf then, or are you lying about having posted as an individual now?
Older posts about Nordwall and the Waldorf Federation. This is Percy Bratt's law firm. Percy Bratt's wife happens to work in waldorf teacher training and is a friend of Sune's, which may be the reason why Percy Bratt got involved in this in the first place. Sune Nordwall recently posted comments on this article too.

Walt Whitman PoemPublished August 1, 2013 Miscellaneous Leave a Comment
Tags: http://www.drsaracino.com/PDFs/INFO/Walt_Whitmans_Poem_on_Flexibilty_Walking.pdf
Examining one's posture and mobility is part of each chiropractic neurologist's analysis. The following Walt Whitman poem excerpt, from Leaves of Grass, was giving to me by a friend while attending chiropractic school.
The Expression of a Well-made Man
But the expression of a well-made man appears not only in his face,
It is in his limbs and joints also,
It is curiously in the joints of his hips and wrists,
It is in his walk, the carriage of his neck,
The flex of his waist and knees- dress does not hide him….
To see him pass conveys as much as the best poem, perhaps more.
Book Review: You're Only Old Once! by Doctor SeussPublished May 1, 2013 Miscellaneous Leave a Comment
If laughter is the best medicine, then You're Only Old Once! is a delightful new defense against aging. I highly recommend it for children from 7 to 70.
Anyone who has even submitted to a battery of medical tests will empathize with Dr. Seuss' Everyman in this wry book. In it we follow our hapless hero through his checkup with the experts at the Golden Years Clinic, beginning with the waiting room and the atmosphere of tranquility it attempts to create. Once out of the waiting room and into the doctor's domain, all of us can relate to our hero's desire to escape:
And if you're the type that gets finichy-finick
at this point you'll try to get out of that clinic.
But they will outwit you as quick as a winick!
The Quiz-Does will catch you!
They'll start questionnairing!
They'll ask you, point blank how your parts are all faring.
Dr. Seuss parodies diagnostic drudgery, after which Everyman must sign on the dotted line.
When at last we are sure
you've been properly pilled,
then a few paper forms
must be properly filled
so that you and your heirs
may be properly billed.
As a prolific writer of children's books, Dr. Seuss' satiric social commentaries won him countless adult fans. You're Only Young Once! was published on his 82nd birthday and is aptly described as a book for "obsolete children."
In this age of highly technical and scientific methods, medical treatment is often reduced to impersonal finding and cold-handed prescription. My emphasis is to preserve the human element — thus are always willing to laugh at ourselves.
With Good Health,

Convertibles & Sun Roofs Irritate the Head & NeckPublished July 6, 2010 Headaches , Miscellaneous , Neck Pain Leave a Comment
This is the season for drivers of cars with convertibles and sun roofs to make everyone else wish for the feeling-of-freedom they appear to have, but their cars have some disadvantages! The deleterious effects on the head, ears and neck may be profound.
When it is prohibitively and the vehicles have dark-colored interiors, the direct and reflected off-the-dash sunlight causes perspiration. Conversely, the constant flow-of-air from the open top causes rapid evaporation of the perspiration which chills, pounds and dehydrates the scalp, ear canals and skin over-lying the neck. This predisposes us to headache, earache and neck stiffness and spasm, respectively.
Sun roofs are more damaging to the drivers' RIGHT ear and neck areas because the flow of air is greater above the console over the right ear. Passengers in the front seat are effected on the LEFT side. These one-sided reactions often build-up slowly then shock us with pain and stiffness when we lift objects overhead, turn the head rapidly or sleep with the head turned.
The best way to travel in an open convertible or sun roof car is to wear close-fitting garments on the head and neck and COVER the effected ear! Happy motoring.

Roger Rabbit Medical MishapsPublished October 27, 2009 Miscellaneous Leave a Comment
Minutes hang like hours in a doctor's waiting room. Worse yet is when our anticipation is met with a hurried exam. Isn't it frustrating to leave with important questions unanswered?
Walt Disney productions created a parody on medical care titled "Tummy Trouble". It featured Roger Rabbit who was boosted to stardom in the movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" An infant whom roger is babysitting accidentally swallows one of his rattles. The child is taken to the hospital, but Roger is misdiagnosed as having 'tummy trouble'! The abandoned baby roams the hallways while Roger is rushed to surgery. Roger's operation is halted by the lunch whistle, but he is not out of danger because the infant crawls into the operating room and unwittingly activates an atom smasher! Roger saves himself and the infant by eluding the deadly ray and surviving other life threatening incidences. No doubt, the cartoon addresses some of the shortcomings of today's health care system.

Performing Arts ExperiencesPublished October 27, 2009 Miscellaneous Leave a Comment
Practicing next to a dinner theater for eighteen years has allowed me to develop skills in treating performing artists and their specific injuries, i.e., singers' jaws, necks and throats, dancers' backs and legs, etc.
Among many other experiences, I have been invited to speak and advise dancers of the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow and the cast of the 1996-97 New York musical Victor Victoria. I toured Europe in 1991 with the David Parsons Dance Company, a modern dance ensemble that appears biannually at the Annenberg Center in Philadelphia. These outside-of-the-office performing arts highlights have been most rewarding. Not only have these activities gotten me involved with some of the most talented and appreciative people, but they have allowed me to give back to a community which has so generously given to me. All of the performing and fine arts in America struggle to survive because they compete with television, movies, sports and popular music.

Dr. Saracino's Path to Chiropractic Neurology and the Performing ArtsPublished October 13, 2009 Miscellaneous Leave a Comment
Chiropractic Neurologist relies on education and professionalism. A curiosity about nutrition as a youngster and sports participation as a teen put Mark Saracino, DC, DACAN of King of Prussia, Pa., on the path to becoming a chiropractic neurologist. As a child, he noticed the difference that eating healthy food, back-rub exchanges with an older brother and regular sports activities made in the way he felt. This influenced his use of massage and exercise therapies in practice. Before pursuing machine technology and the beginnings of mechanical engineering he discovered the benefits of taking large dosages of vitamin C to treat and prevent colds.

Curbing Health Costs – No Fault to Holistic Doctors!Published October 13, 2009 Miscellaneous Leave a Comment
Most know that medical bills are escalating faster than the cost-of-living and inflation, but few know that our tax dollars are contributing to the upward spiral. Government subsidies (free money) and low-interest loans continue to be given for inflationary purchases of costly diagnostic/therapeutic equipment, redundant research projects and unnecessary expansion of health care facilities. Recent studies have found that most communities are oversupplied with MRI and radiation therapy equipment, as an example. Research grants are often distributed without a coordination plan, causing repetition of elaborate and invasive procedures. Holistic and preventative ones are usually not emphasized. Since most of our health care dollars are spent after age 65, because of chronic degenerative diseases, more research on "how we live here and now" should be awarded to reduce costs in the long run. Although the numbers of patient stays in hospitals are decreasing, beds continue to be built.

BROOKLYN – Michigan International Speedway continues to push the envelope to new levels to reward its fans. In its annual Race to Vegas promotion, track president Roger Curtis selected Kristine Oard among thousands of contestants to join him in Las Vegas for Friday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series banquet.
The surprised winner was not sure how to react when she received a call from "Elvis Presley." Oard did not immediately celebrate, but had other thoughts cross her mind first.
"I actually thought it was a scam," Oard said. "Who is this? What are you talking about? I thought it was a big joke."
Once it was revealed Presley was actually Curtis dressed up, using a fake voice to make the call, it all suddenly made sense to the Oard, who was still in disbelief.
"I had seen his twitter picture and he is dressed up as Elvis in that picture," Oard continued. "I have heard he has dressed up and gone in the infield during the race weekend and people did not know it was him. But I did not expect him to call me."
Oard has been coming to Michigan International Speedway the past 11 seasons. She sits in the grandstands across from the first pit stall at pit entrance. While far away from the drivers, she is still close enough to experience all the fast-paced action.
Now, she will be even closer and is anticipating the trip to Vegas for one reason.
"I am looking forward to seeing all the drivers," Oard commented. "I just want to see them out of their cars and in a different environment."
As the excitement started to become reality, Oard quickly noted this is how she felt during her first trip to MIS. Just like then, she was in stunned disbelief.
"I have a lot of favorite memories," Oard recalled. "My first time I came to a race, I will always remember this too. I had picked Ryan Newman as my driver. We were walking by the trailers in the fan display area and we were right in front of Ryan Newman's trailer. I turned and looked. I am looking, looking and looking at the person in the trailer and I was like 'Oh my gosh, that is Ryan Newman.' I will never forget that because he was my favorite driver and I did not know a whole lot about NASCAR and that the drivers came to do autograph sessions. To see him in the trailer was like seeing a real celebrity."
Newman won't be at the banquet, but perhaps she can have that experience with another driver and make that her memory of the Race to Vegas trip.
The Race to Vegas contest is an extension of the speedway's Fan Appreciation Program, which provides experiential prizes to fans throughout the year, including race weekends. Since its inception in 2009, the program has given away thousands of prizes to lucky winners on a random basis.
This is the fourth time Michigan International Speedway has hosted a fan at the banquet.
"We love providing our fans with unique experiences," Curtis said. "We enjoy sharing what we experience with fans and have a great time getting to know them on race weekend. So taking a fan to Las Vegas is a nice opportunity for us to get to know them while slowing them all the great things about NASCAR."
Oard will receive round-trip airfare to Las Vegas and hotel accommodations at the famed Wynn Hotel, along with a seat at the banquet. She will also attend the NASCAR NMPA Awards Luncheon and NASCAR After the Lap events – all exclusive events in Las Vegas.
Oard follows former winners Thomas Schultz of Plymouth, Mich., (2009 winner), Vic Loomis of East Lansing, Mich., (2010) and Brian Reid of Tecumseh, Ontario, Canada (2011), who all traveled back from Las Vegas with many exciting memories to share.
Nestled in the lush Irish Hills of Southeastern Michigan, Michigan International Speedway is the Great Escape, a venerable NASCAR national park where fans can get away and enjoy the very best in racing and camaraderie. It's the love of racing and the thrill of a great time for race fans and drivers alike.
Tickets are on sale at http://www.MISpeedway.com or by phone at 800-354-1010.

Heavenly Father wants me to pray to Him often—anytime, anywhere.
When you need to know an answer to a question, whom do you ask? When you are hurt, who can help you? When you are sad, who can comfort you? In the scriptures, we read of men, women, and children who prayed to Heavenly Father when they had questions or needed help.
One that we are going to talk about today is Daniel. This isn't a made up story, it really happened....a long time ago. Daniel lived in a busy city near the king's palace. He prayed daily for guidance even though the law said that people who prayed would be thrown into a den of hungry lions.
STORY: Tell the story of Daniel in your own words, emphasizing that he knew the importance of prayer (see Daniel 6). You could even use the following flannel board figures: Click here.
ACTIVITY: Bring some large sandals and ask a child to stand in "Daniel's shoes" and tell how he/she would feel if he/she were Daniel and about to be cast into the lions' den. Who would help him/her?
FILE: Lion Cards - You can edit the situations to be applicable to the needs of your Primary children and/or make more cards.
Print out the above file of cards which contain situations your Primary children might face that would require them to have courage to resist and choose the right. Select children to come up and stand in the sandals, choose a card, and tell what a modern-day Daniel would do.
HANDOUT: Lion Puppet.
SONG: Teach the children verse eight of "Follow the Prophet":
Daniel was a prophet, he refused to sin;
So the king threw Daniel in the Lion's Den.
Angels calmed the lions, and the king soon saw,
Daniel's pow'r was great for he obeyed God's law.
SUMMARY: Share your testimony that we can pray to Heavenly Father anytime, anywhere. Just as Heavenly Father heard the prayers of the people in the scriptures, Heavenly Father hears our prayers today, and He answers them in ways that will be
for the best.
OPTIONAL: If Family Home Evening Video Supplement 2 is available, show "Heavenly Father Answers Prayers," a three-minute segment (Video Clip #5).

Another Bay Area soldier has died serving in Afghanistan. Army Staff Sergeant Ricardo Seija, 31, was killed by an improvised explosive device Sunday.
His parents got the knock on the door in the middle of the night. They told FOX 13 that Seija loved the Army "300 percent" and planned to serve for the rest of his life.
"It was a passion that came from his blood that he wanted to join," Ignacia Seija said through a translator.
"Ricky" Seija graduated from Leto High School in 1999. His mother says he was on the wrestling team and she was his number-one fan. Seija finished high school early so that he could enlist, like family members before him.
Seija served tours in South Korea, Puerto Rico, and Germany, then deployed to Afghanistan in March. He risked his life every day on the front lines as a military police officer.
His parents said they, of course, thought about the danger posed by his deployment to Afghanistan, but they never thought this day would come.
Sgt. Seija grew up in Chicago and moved to Tampa as a teenager. He was supposed to come home next month. Now, his mother can't help but question why her youngest had to die this way. She says her heart is broken.
"She wants this war to be ended," said the translator. "[She doesn't] want to hear about no more kids dying."
Seija got married earlier this year. He and his new bride planned to surprise his mom and dad with the news when he came home. But instead, Seija leaves behind his new wife and little boy, Ricky. They were stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas.
"I miss him so much," his mother added.
Seija died in the same roadside bomb attack that killed Clarence Williams III, another Bay Area soldier from Brooksville.
Seija's family is working with the military to bring his body back to the Bay Area this week.

Photoshop Elements: Replace a Portrait Background
Adobe® Photoshop® Elements 6
April 17, 2008
Sometimes your portraits are marred by dull or distracting backgrounds. Use the Magic Extractor tool to replace that boring background with an interesting backdrop! The Magic Extractor tool is especially useful if your subject has wispy hair on a solid background. While it won't catch everything, it allows you some control over those wisps. (Hair is painfully hard to manage and most often requires painstaking editing.)
Boring Background
Satin Gradient Background
Replacing a background involves two steps:
- Extract the person from the boring background.
- Replace the background with something interesting.
Extract a person from the background
- Open the file that contains the person you want to extract from the background.
From the Image menu, select Magic Extractor. The Magic Extractor window is displayed. The following example shows the tools in the Magic Extractor window:
- Click the Foreground brush and paint over the person you want to extract with different sized dots. Make sure that you cover areas that look similar in color to the background. To change the brush size while you are painting, press the left bracket key ([) to reduce the brush size, or the right bracket key (]) to increase the brush size. Use small brush strokes to cover delicate areas like the hair fringes that you want to retain. If you make a mistake, use the Point Eraser tool to remove the errant point.
Click the Background brush and paint over the background with dots or strokes. If the background is uniform in color, you can use a large brush stroke and place a few large dots over the area. In this example, the red dots cover the foreground and the blue dots cover the background:
Click Preview to preview your selection. Select the type of background for the preview. The following example uses the Rubylith background to help in making further adjustments.
- Use the Zoom and the Hand tool to focus on areas where you want to fine-tune the selection.
- Select the Add to Selection tool to add more areas to the selection. In this example, we used a small brush to add some hair wisps to the selection.
- Select the Remove from Selection tool to remove areas from the selection. In this example, we used a small brush to remove some white background pixels that were still selected.
- Select the Smoothing brush to smooth any remaining rough edges, especially around the wispy hair.
- In the Touch Up section, enter a Feather size of 1-2 pixels and a Defringe size of 3 pixels. Click Defringe.
Click OK. The subject is now extracted and the background is replaced with transparent pixels.
Replace the background
- In the Layers palette, press Ctrl, then click the New Layer icon to create a new layer below the portrait layer.
Fill the new layer with the background of your choice. For example, fill it with a Cool Fifties pattern, a Satin Gradient background or a background to which you have applied a Lighting Effects filter.

4 Weeks to a Stronger Heart
Change the Way You Eat
The long-touted low-fat diet is yesterday's news. The latest nutrition research suggests that maintaining your arterial superhighway is not just about avoiding as much saturated fat and processed food as possible but also about fueling your tank with what many experts call "functional foods," those foods rich in nutrients with powerful heart-protecting (and anti-cancer) properties. "Focusing on low fat is overly simplistic," says Christopher Gardner, PhD, associate professor of medicine at the Prevention Research Center at the Stanford University School of Medicine. "When you combine natural high-fiber foods with plant sterols and unsaturated fats, you start to see cholesterol-lowering benefits."
Push Phytosterols
Plant sterols and stanols are potent fatlike compounds that block absorption of unhealthy dietary cholesterol. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute recommends that adults eat a minimum of 2g daily. Wheat germ, soy products, walnuts, almonds, peanuts, cereals, and olive and vegetable oils are good natural sources. To ensure you get enough, try yogurt, cheese, bread, orange juice, margarine, supplements, and dark chocolate enriched with these compounds.
The payoff: Getting 2g of stanols or sterols a day can cut cholesterol up to 15 percent in as little as a month and also lower your blood pressure.
Get the Right Fats
Fats are a major source of energy and help fill you up so you don't overeat. In addition, your body uses fat to produce compounds that help regulate blood pressure and heart rate. A growing body of data suggests that it's the type of fat you eat each day -- rather than your total fat intake -- that has the biggest effect on your cardiovascular health. The American Heart Association's Nutrition Committee recommends limiting saturated fat to less than 7 percent of your total daily calories and trans fats to less than 1 percent. Make sure that your total fat intake is no more than 25 to 35 percent of your daily calories and eat primarily polyunsaturated fats (found in vegetable oils like corn, soy, safflower, cottonseed, and sunflower), monounsaturated fats (found in olive, canola, and peanut oils as well as avocados and most nuts), and foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (fatty cold-water fish, such as salmon, herring, and mackerel; also walnuts, flax oil, and flax seeds).
The payoff: In one study, when women replaced 25g of saturated fat with unsaturated fat from vegetable and nut oils, their heart disease risk dropped by 16 percent in just 25 days. And substituting 2 tablespoons of monounsaturated olive oil a day instead of using that much saturated fat can lower your LDL cholesterol.
Fill Up on Fiber
Only one type of fiber helps your heart -- the viscous, or soluble, kind found in foods such as beans, oats, oat bran, barley, citrus fruits, eggplant, and okra. It helps to block absorption of cholesterol in the digestive tract and to regulate blood sugar. Also consider taking a daily dose of psyllium, a soluble plant fiber (Metamucil and Fiberall have it).
The payoff: Consuming 5 to 10g of soluble fiber a day can lower your LDL cholesterol by about 5 percent in as little as four weeks.
Cut the Salt
If you've got pre- or full-blown hypertension, consider trying the low-sodium DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet recommended by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. It's rich in fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products and includes poultry, fish, nuts, and whole grains but only small amounts of red meat, sweets, and sugary drinks.
The payoff: If you are able to find ways to reduce your salt intake to 1,500mg a day (most women consume 3,300), you can lower your systolic blood pressure by as much as 11 mm Hg and your diastolic by 4 mm Hg in only 30 days.

Alabama State Bar
Director of
» News Release Archive
Montgomery, July 22, 2003 - The Honorable Charles R. "Randy" Butler, Jr., United States District Judge for the Southern District of Alabama is the recipient of the Alabama State Bar 2003 Judicial Award of Merit, created to recognize both trial and appellate judges, not yet retired, for their contribution to the administration of justice in Alabama.
In presenting the award, ASB President Fred D. Gray highlighted Butler's contributions, by quoting from his letter of nomination, saying "The Southern District (was) understaffed by one or more district judges for almost seven years. Throughout this time, Judge Butler not only carried his own caseload, but also a large part of the overflow attributable to judicial vacancies. Additionally, he performed all of the administrative duties required by the chief judge's position, as well as being active on a number of committees of the judiciary, including the prestigious, yet demanding executive committee of the Judicial Conference of the United States."
"Despite these overwhelming demands on his time, Judge Butler worked tirelessly to reasonably maintain the civil and criminal docket of the court. Judge Butler routinely held hearings on criminal matters before civil trials commenced, during his lunch hour, and after civil trials concluded for the day. As chief judge, Judge Butler further worked to improve the administrative efficiency and user-friendliness of the court.
During his tenure, court rooms have been updated with cutting edge trial presentation technology, and the clerk's office is moving toward a completely electronic filing system designed to improve administrative efficiency."
"All the while, Judge Butler has served with the dignity and decorum deserving of our federal courts, and he has given his undivided and thoughtful attention to the myriad and varied matters routinely presented to him. Although the senior judges and the magistrate judges certainly also rallied to the cause, Judge Butler, without reservation, rose above and beyond the call of duty with exceptional stamina, fortitude and grace. His unwavering work ethic and commitment to the Southern District of Alabama under these trying circumstances demonstrates his significant and remarkable contribution to the administration of justice in Alabama."
Judge Butler was born in New York and obtained a B.A. degree from Washington and Lee University in 1962 and from the University of Alabama School of Law in 1966. He served Mobile County as an assistant public defender from 1969 to 1971, and then served as district attorney of Mobile County from 1971 to 1975. He was engaged in the private practice of law in Mobile from 1975 through 1988. President Ronald Reagan appointed Judge Butler to the Southern District of Alabama on October 14, 1988. He was chief judge from July 9, 1994 to February 20, 2003.

Sheep handlers from all over the world will soon be in Cooperstown for the 18th annual Leatherstocking Sheepdog Trials.
The event is a competitive dog sport in which a dog moves sheep around a field, through gates, and into enclosures as directed by their handler. The handler instructs the dog with a whistle or with voice commands.
According to the event website, leatherstockingsheepdogtrials.com, "It is generally agreed, that the first trial occurred in 1873 in Wales. A few Welsh shepherds gathered to show how well their dogs could carry out the herding tasks expected of them on a daily basis. Gathering, fetching, driving, penning and splitting off one or more sheep were part of this initial, informal contest."
The website goes on to say, the working dog herding trials around the world have changed little since that first competition.
"Each phase of the trial reflects those tasks that they must do together daily. The difference between a daily chore and a trial is the degree of precision demanded and the time frame required to complete the tasks. These constraints add stress and pressure to both the dog and the handler. For this reason, excellent farm dogs may not do well in the high pressure situation on the trial field," according to the site.
This year's competition will take place in a field off Beaver Meadow Road from Aug. 16 through 18. Signs are put up each year to help people find the trials. County Route 11C by the Red Carpet Inn just South of Cooperstown is currently closed. Visit http://www.leatherstockingsheepdogtrials.com/gpage.html for alternate routes.
Competition generally starts around 8 a.m. each day and ends when the last dog has run. Admission charges will be good for the whole weekend (save the program for proof of payment). The cost is $5 a person, and children younger than 12 are admitted free.
