Although they sound similar, strains and sprains are not the same thing. A strain occurs when a tendon or muscle is injured. A sprain is what happens when a ligament - the fibrous material that connects bones to other bones - becomes torn, frayed, or otherwise injured.
These types of injuries are very common, but when they occur to the neck or spine, they can be extremely painful. Symptoms include headaches, dizziness, jaw pain, stiffness, and pain radiating to the shoulders, upper back, and arms.
These types of injury rarely require surgery, often responding well to non-surgical care. Below are some products that can help if you have a spinal strain or sprain.
Spinal strain & sprain can be remedies quite easily with good posture, and correct spinal alignment. We offer many products to help relieve the pain you may feel in the upper to lower back. Try zero gravity recliners, neck supports for intermediate relief through out the day and postural supports when at work or driving home.

Fernando Alonso is not worried about Lotus' pace as he believes Ferrari can match it.
The Spaniard was beaten to the Australian GP victory by a two-stopping Kimi Raikkonen last Sunday.
It was an "easy" victory according to Raikkonen, who pulled away from the Ferrari in the closing laps to comfortably finish 12 seconds up the road.
Alonso, though, is adamant Ferrari's F138 can match the Finn's E21.
"I think the pace of the Lotus was very good, but nothing that we could not do," he told Autosport.
"They had a very clean race, with no traffic and a very good strategy but the pace was nothing out of reach.
"Here we can fight a little bit closer."
The 31-year-old was also quick to point out that Australia is not a good reference for the pecking order but expects this weekend's Malaysian GP will offer a better picture.
"We have a more or less competitive car, in Australia everything worked quite fine for us.
"But it is true that Australia's circuit is a very strange and very unusual circuit.
"[Sepang] is for us a little bit of a confirmation. We need to confirm the car is performing well after some positive feelings in winter and some positive feelings in Australia.
"This is a very real test for us and again a podium will be a very good target to achieve."

For one night anyway, the Sabres are back in the win column. The relief was easy to see when Tyler Ennis and Ryan Miller embraced in their customary style following the game. The Sabres have snapped a four game skid, with a 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The game began with an all too familiar feeling. Teddy Purcell carried the puck right to the front of the net, and Steven Stamkos went uncovered in the slot to slip the rebound by Ryan Miller just 1:24 into the game.
Cody Hodgson provided the response for the Sabres at about the midway point of the period. From behind the net, the young center attempted to pass the puck to Jason Pominville when it struck the skate of Tampa defenseman Sami Salo and deflected into the net.
From there, Ryan Miller led the Sabres through. The goaltender finished with 30 saves. The Sabres killed all six of their penalties.
Tyler Myers provided the game winner, just :52 into the third period. Lightning goaltender Mathieu Garon got caught out of position, and the big defenseman unleashed an accurate shot from the point.
The Sabres face the Panthers on Thursday, before returning home to host the Devils Saturday.

Emanuel, McCarthy feeling the pressure after latest shootings
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall firstname.lastname@example.com February 2, 2013 3:43PM
This undated family photo provided by Damon Stewart shows 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton of Chicago. She was shot and killed Tuesday, Jan. 29, 2013, in a Chicago park as she talked with friends, by a gunman who apparently was not even aiming at her.

Updated: March 4, 2013 6:44AM
Mayor Rahm Emanuel struggled for the better part of last year to control a spike in homicides that became a media obsession in Chicago and around the nation.
Now that the bloodbath fueled by gang violence on Chicago streets has a beautiful face in 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton, it spells political trouble for Emanuel and Police Supt. Garry McCarthy.
"We need more cops on the street to saturate particular areas. If this isn't dealt with soon, the mayor is gonna be forced to do something about McCarthy, or this could potentially become his snow issue," said Ald. Howard Brookins (21st), chairman of the City Council's Black Caucus.
"The mayor has assured us he's doing everything he can to get more police on the street. He says McCarthy has a plan to combat this violence. I just don't know how long aldermen will be able to refrain from publicly criticizing McCarthy. In our caucus, we've already had minor flair-ups and yelling matches with the superintendent. Those things may go public if they don't get a handle on this soon."
Former Ald. Dick Simpson (44th), head of the political science department at the University of Illinois at Chicago, said the steady drumbeat of headlines undermines the political narrative Emanuel has tried to write about Chicago's revival under his leadership.
"We've been the most segregated city in North America. We've also been the most corrupt city. Now, we're becoming the murder capital of the U.S. That does affect the image we have here and abroad," Simpson said.
A promising sophomore at King College Prep, Hadiya was shot in the back Tuesday afternoon while hanging out with friends at a park a few blocks from the high school and less than a mile from President Barack Obama's Kenwood mansion.
Hadiya's murder shined another unflattering international spotlight on Chicago and Emanuel because she was an honors student, a volleyball player and a majorette who went with her high school band to Obama's second inauguration.
She lost her life to the very gang violence she had condemned in a 2008 public service video.
Like Dantrell Davis, Benjamin Wilson and Derrion Albert before her, in death Hadiya has become an international symbol of shame for a city in danger of losing its soul and killing off its future.
"It's hard to have empathy for gang banger vs. gang banger, although you don't want those crimes either," Brookins said.
"But when you see a person who, by all accounts, appears to be an innocent victim — someone doing the right thing at the right time — people think it could be their kid or their granddaughter. It brings crime home."
Emanuel responded on all cylinders to the high-profile murder that ended Chicago's most deadly January in a decade.
David Axelrod, who worked together with Emanuel in the Obama White House, said he has never heard his friend of 30 years "more determined or more sober about anything" as he is about the gang violence that cost Hadiya her life.
"He spends an awful lot of time talking to parents of lost children. It weighs on him. This is a heartbreaking situation for the entire community. It's a stubborn, horrific problem. You just have to keep slugging away at it," Axelrod said.
Axelrod said it's "a little crass" to speculate on the political fall-out when there's "so much suffering going on" in Chicago.
But he said of Emanuel, "He is very determined and very focused. He's gonna continue to try a variety of strategies to cope with this. He's prepared to be judged on the efficacy of what he's done. What the people want to know is, are you trying everything you can? It would be hard to make the case that he's been indifferent or lackadaisical about this. It's just a stubborn and difficult problem."
Emanuel called Hadiya's mother to let her know she was not alone, then denounced Hadiya's killer as a gang-banger and a "punk" who had gunned down a young woman who embodied what was best about Chicago. That evening, Emanuel paid an hour-long house call to console the grieving family.
The following day, the mayor and McCarthy hastily announced plans to shift 200 police officers from desk jobs to street duty and assign them to "area saturation" teams that replaced the Mobile Strike Force McCarthy disbanded.
McCarthy insisted the move was not a concession that he was wrong to abolish those units. Area saturation teams have "geographic integrity," he said. They don't do what the Mobile Strike Force did: swarm in, make mass arrests and leave, alienating local residents.
The news conference at Area Central headquarters to announce the police shuffle attracted 16 television cameras. That's the kind of media heat that moves mayors into action.
Emanuel acknowledged the obvious when he said, "We have to get our hands around the gun violence and gang activity to give everybody a chance at what this city can be."
The mayor also conceded that the negative headlines were hurting the image of Chicago as a livable city on the move. The following day, a woman was shot to death inside a van on a ramp off Lake Shore Drive, shutting down the roadway during the morning rush.
"Tourism is up. Hotel construction is up because our convention business and our tourism is up," the mayor said.
"That said, while I am worried and concerned about kind of an image, my main … priority isn't the image. It's getting the results I need so there's a sense of community here at home … for our residents. Then, the public relations will take care of itself."
At times, Emanuel appeared to be following the blame game playbook of his predecessor, Richard M. Daley, who faced similar heat after the 1992 sniper shooting of 7-year-old Dantrell Davis, who was gunned down on his way to school near Cabrini Green.
Whoever gets appointed U.S. attorney, Emanuel talked about the need for that person to get involved in the war against Chicago's increasingly fractionalized street gangs, ignoring the impact federal prosecutors have already made in that area.
Emanuel also talked, as Daley did, about the need to have an "uncomfortable" discussion with Hollywood about the "culture of violence" being glorified in movies. If the mayor truly believes that, he could start with a call to his own brother, a Hollywood super-agent.
After the Connecticut school massacre, Emanuel beat the drum for a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, criminal background checks, tougher penalties for gun crimes and mandatory reporting when guns are lost, stolen sold or transferred.
He browbeat public pension funds, banks and investment houses to pull their money out of companies that manufacture assault weapons.
Now, he must confront a crisis in his own city on his own watch. The political clock is ticking.
"If the problem goes unresolved, say another year, the police superintendent's position would be in jeopardy," Simpson said.
"He's very pragmatic. He wants results. He's not guided by other principles. If there has to be a sacrificial lamb, he would dump the police superintendent," just as he did Schools CEO Jean-Claude Brizard.
Simpson said it's too soon to say whether Chicago's gang-fueled homicide epidemic could trigger a "Harold Washington-style revolt like the one that unseated Jane Byrne" in 2015. But, he noted that Emanuel is simultaneously confronting the political quagmire of school closings, which could also touch off a fire storm in the black community.
"If the gang problem is still out of control, as it is at the moment, that's a political problem for anyone who holds office," he said.
"The gang problem is very intractable. It's not easy. But, citizens will demand it be managed. Whether it's hiring more police or a different policing strategy, something additional is gonna have to be done. He has paid attention and he cares. But, in this area more than any other, the city has failed."
Former state senator and mayoral candidate James Meeks does not believe either Emanuel or McCarthy will or should wear the political jacket for the gang violence. That's because they don't control the "inherent problems" behind it: failing schools, a proliferation of firearms and single-parent households, he said.
"By the time a child — especially an African-American male — reaches the 7th grade, he's already three grade-levels behind. By the time he's a sophomore, he drops out. Combine an uneducated kid with a fatherless kid and you've got a dangerous product of the street at 15. It's that product of the street that's causing all of this violence," Meeks said.
"Unless the White House, the mayor or somebody comes up with a program designed to reach products of the street, we will never turn it around. You're dealing with hopelessness. These young people don't have any hope or any fear."

Cincinnati Business Publication Recognized Sharon Sims, Sylvia Stevens and Bill Kincaid
April 5, 2012
Two Wilmington College faculty members earned kudos for their teaching prowess and an administrator received praise for her focus upon student learning in the April issue of Cincy, the Magazine for Business Professionals.
The publication recognized Sharon Sims, professor of health and physical education; Sylvia Stevens, associate vice president for external programs; and Bill Kincaid, professor of mathematics.
They were among the college and university personnel singled out from Cincinnati area colleges and universities.
Stevens, who also teaches courses in the humanities and business areas, was described as an "innovative, dynamic and challenging" teacher, according to Iris Kelsen, vice president for external programs.
"Her classes are enlivened by her dedication to the College's mission, her profound intellectual competence and her extensive international experiences," she added. "Known by all our students, she is sought out by them as adviser and mentor.
"Also, faculty and administrators recognize her tireless service, dedication, insight and creativity as a committee and community member."
Stevens has twice been awarded the Cincinnati Branches' "Outstanding Teacher Award.
During Sims' 34 years at WC, she has taught health and physical education curriculum courses, required physical education activity classes and coached five sports: volleyball for four years, women's basketball for 13 years, men's and women's swimming for two years and women's golf for 10 years.
She is an LPGA Class "A" Teaching and Club Professional and was named to the Top 50 Honorable Mention Golf Teachers for U.S. Kids Golf.
Cincy magazine highlighted her out for a special feature that included a photo and brief interview. Sims noted that, even though she had vast coaching experience, "Until I arrived at golf, there was another level of coaching that I didn't understand."
This spring, she will present her own series of golf skills games to the American Alliance of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance in Boston.
Kincaid has been a member of the mathematics faculty for 43 years. His specialty areas are geometrics and algebra.
He is the recipient of a Sears-Roebuck Teaching Excellence Award and has been a Fulbright Lecturer at Iceland University. He spent a faculty sabbatical teaching at Dine' College in Tsaile, Ariz.

Close-Up Photography with a Digital Point and Shoot
When it comes to macro and close-up photography, a lot of information is available to photographers with DSLR equipment, while photographers who primarily use point and shoot or compact digital cameras are left fending for themselves.
But your digital point and shoot camera has much to offer and can be a very useful tool, providing quality images of all sorts. Here are some tips for using your digital point and shoot camera for macro photography:
Shoot with a wide angle of view: By choosing the camera's widest angle of view (zoomed all the way out), when in the macro shooting mode, you can take advantage of its closest possible focusing distance. Some digital point and shoot cameras let you get within a centimeter of your subject.
Use the camera's zoom function: If you want to cut out some of the surrounding environment from your composition, create a more shallow depth of field or create some distance between your camera and your subject. Then you can zoom in with the camera's optical zoom function. By doing so you produce a narrower angle of view, but you also lose some size and detail in your subject.
Focus the camera: Some digital point and shoot cameras offer manual and auto focus controls. Focus is very important in macro and close-up photography. Because the subject is so close to the camera and includes such great detail, a misplaced point of focus is very obvious.
For instance, if you take a macro shot of a butterfly on a flower and the flower is in focus rather than the butterfly, the photograph might look awkward. Had the butterfly not been there you'd want the flower to be your point of focus, but if the butterfly is in the scene, it should be in focus.
Steady the camera on a tripod: Most photographers don't think to position their point and shoot digital camera on a tripod, but in macro and close-up situations doing so is a good idea. A tripod can help to maximize quality in a few different ways.
Pay attention to composition: Just because you're using a point and shoot camera doesn't mean you have to literally point and shoot at your subjects. You need to compose each image you create in a way that depicts the scene in its best way and gets your intended message (or your reason for taking the photograph) across.
Control your shutter speed: Your shutter speed is an exposure setting that determines how quickly a photograph is taken. A faster shutter speed (such as 1/250 of a second) can freeze motion in a scene, while a slower shutter speed (such as 1 second) can reveal motion in a scene.
Set the aperture: Your aperture value controls the depth of field in a photograph. A small aperture setting (determined by a higher number such as f/16) gives your image a greater depth of field and brings more of the scene into sharp focus. A larger aperture setting (determined by a lower number such as f/2.8) gives your image a shallower depth of field and allows less of the scene to appear in sharp focus.
Find subjects that work well with your camera: By using your digital point and shoot in macro and close-up situations, you'll get a feeling of how much detail can be depicted in subjects of various sizes. Your camera may enable you to take beautiful photographs of butterflies, but may not be so great for capturing intimate detail in smaller ants.
Use macro and close-up attachments: Accessories designed to increase macro and close-up abilities are available according to camera. These are generally known as tele-converters, close-up filters, or close-up lenses.
One close-up lens that stands out from the others is the Zoerk Macroscope. This is an aspherical, coated lens that screws on to the front of your ordinary lens. It provides high-quality optics and can produce 1:1 ratios when combined with an 80mm lens.
Light your subject: Depending on the model, your digital point and shoot camera can enable you to get within a centimeter of your subject while still achieving sharp focus on it. This can tend to be problematic when it comes to lighting, as your camera can cast its shadow on the subject.
A few different approaches can help you avoid this problem and produce beautiful lighting for your subject, such as using a ring flash, an ordinary flash from the side, or a reflector.
Device used to attach certain lenses or filters to your digital camera.
The leading professional image-editing program for your computer.

A digital camera mode in which both the aperture and shutter speed are set automatically.
A digital camera feature that turns off the camera after a certain time period of inactivity.
A feature that puts the camera in control of choosing the proper exposure settings.
A camera setting that allows the camera to choose the correct focus distance for you, usually based on the contrast of an image or set by a mechanism, such as an infrared sensor, that measures the actual distance to the subject.
A lighting effect produced when the main light source is located behind the subject. Backlighting is also a technology for illuminating an LCD display from the rear, making it easier to view under high ambient lighting conditions.

The resolution of an image that you take with your digital camera.
A device into which you insert a digital camera's memory card, then attach to your computer to make that memory card appear as just another drive to your computer.
Short for charge-coupled device. One of two types of imaging sensors used in digital cameras.
A device on a computer that allows you to copy (or burn) information to a CD-ROM.

Derrick Rose has no one to blame but the Bulls

Updated: May 6, 2013 10:59AM
A lionhearted effort in a Game 7 playoff victory by a sick, injured, depleted Bulls team — gee, I can't imagine what might be coming next.
Wait. Yes, I can: a mudslide of scorn headed Derrick Rose's way.
The public pressure on him to play against the Heat in a second-round series will be extreme, but not as extreme as the abuse he'll absorb if he doesn't. The unfounded criticism that he is soft and selfish is about to reach poisonous levels.
Blame the Bulls.
Let's go back to early March. Let's go back to a slightly less cynical time, when Rose was still a beloved figure in this town, when he was still the epitome of toughness, when he was still a shining example of what can come out of the mean streets of Chicago through talent and hard work.
On March 8, ESPNChicago.com, citing a source, reported that "Rose's doctor'' had cleared him to play. The website actually was referring to Brian Cole, the team's physician.
The Bulls did not dispute the report. Rose had been taking part in full-contact practices for weeks at that point.
"He's been cleared to do everything that there is, but before he makes the final step, everyone has to get together and sign off, and that hasn't happened yet," coach Tom Thibodeau said at the time.
Those simple words — that Rose had been cleared to play — have fueled this entire controversy to the detriment of everyone involved, but none more so than Rose. The words have cut his reputation to ribbons. Everyone and his brother have used them as the backbone of their argument that Rose is gutless. It never should have gotten to that point.
Being cleared to play by the Bulls should come with a big, fat asterisk. With all due respect to Cole, the team — not the player — pays the doctor. It has always been so in sports, and it has always been an inherent conflict. Teams want players to play as soon as possible.
There is no indication that Cole wanted the information about Rose's clearance made public. The Bulls shouldn't have allowed it to get out, but once it did, they should have gone to great lengths to minimize it. They did not. What followed was a steady drip, drip, drip of updates from Thibodeau, who always kept the door ajar for the slim possibility that Rose might return.
What was the point of that? To what end? To whose benefit? To put pressure on Rose? All I know is that it raised expectations and contributed to the ugly, toxic attitude toward him.
From the start, the Bulls should have said he was going to miss the entire season because of his surgically repaired knee. Had they, there wouldn't be the misguided resentment toward a former NBA most valuable player.
It didn't help that, as far back as December, media and fans were predicting that Rose would be back by mid-February. Those predictions were based on absolutely nothing. When February rolled around, Rose said he was "far away'' from being ready to play. The medical-clearance story eventually buried his words.
The Bulls created this firestorm, the way they did with Luol Deng in 2009. Remember? Deng had a stress fracture in his leg. The team sent out a press release that sounded more like a shot at a pampered athlete: "He will undergo 'active rest,' meaning that he will be encouraged to challenge himself physically, and if symptoms remain minimal, he will be allowed an expeditious return to play.''
A week later, the Bulls announced that Deng would be out two weeks and might need surgery. Too late. Fans and media members had taken the words of that press release to heart and had already painted him as hopelessly wimpy. It took season after season of 40 minutes a game for him to shed that reputation.
Have you noticed how Deng has taken pains the last few days to say that a spinal tap was proof a mere flu couldn't have kept him out of a playoff game? He didn't want his toughness questioned again.
Rose finds himself in a similar situation as Deng faced in 2009, only about 100 times worse. With every injury to another player during the Nets series, with every heave of a flu-ridden teammate, Rose looked more and more like a malingerer, even though he wasn't one.
He can blame the Bulls, who cleared him to be criticized.

Conflicts occur when people argue one worldview against another. They may be arguing Atheism versus Monotheism, then pull out science as a weapon saying, "science proves I'm right because of this or that..." In my view, science is rather more limited than this. Science has a lot of interesting resonances with the big questions, and can inform them, but I don't believe it can answer them.
