Whole Health Pain-Management Solutions
Chronic pain brings misery to hundreds of millions of Americans each year, wreaking billions of dollars of damage in medical bills and missed work.
It is "the most universal form of human stress," according to a Center for Disease Control report, which says that eighty percent of all physician consultations are related to pain. Yet five area practitioners offer a singular and welcome message: You don't have to face chronic pain alone.
We're all familiar with botulinum toxin injections—most commonly known by the popular brand name Botox—when it comes to cosmetic enhancements. But many are surprised to learn that botulinum toxin injections have been used to treat painful muscle spasm problems, including complications from multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, strokes, neck spasms and, most recently, severe migraine headaches.
Botox for pain?
"I was fortunate because my residency director at the University of Minnesota in the late 1980s was one of the first people in the country to research botulinum toxin before it was even released for use," says Dr. William E. Fowler of Physical Medicine Rehabilitation Independent Services (PMRis). "Once I came to Madison and started practice in 1992, I was already very familiar with it. I've been successfully using it to treat painful muscle spasm conditions for nearly twenty years now."
Torticollis, or cervical dystonia, is a painful neck muscle spasm or abnormal muscle tone so severe it may cause your head to twist or tilt. Regular botulinum toxin injections partially weaken the targeted muscles, increasing flexibility and decreasing pain. The same is true for patients with, for example, a fist curled so tight he or she can't fit an arm into a sleeve. Now the FDA has approved Botox for treating severe migraines—those with a severe headache at least four hours a day, for at least fifteen days within a thirty-day period. These Botox injections for headaches involve injecting the many muscles located between the skin and bone of the scalp.
"Botox, for certain patients, has been a real godsend," says Fowler.
Beyond chiropractic
As a former Olympic skier, Dr. Kurt Stein of Dynamic Chiropractic experienced healthcare in a way most of us could only dream about.
"I grew up in Olympic training centers where they have immediate diagnosis and treatment. Whatever you need, you walk in and just get it," says Stein. "That's what I thought healthcare was."
Stein still applies an athlete's perspective and a holistic approach to the body when working with his patients. From sore soccer kids to a 95-year-old looking to maintain mobility and range of motion, Stein says prevention through alignment and proper form can protect us from the onset of pain. And, he says, if you're already suffering, a holistic approach is more critical than ever.
"Low back pain isn't just about the low back, for example," says Stein. "Chiropractors adjust shoulders, wrists, elbows, feet, ankles, knees, hips. Your whole body is one piece and it all has to work together."
Likewise, Stein began to feel his chiropractic services alone were not enough; he decided it was time to bring in a team to treat his patients holistically. This summer Dynamic Chiropractic is changing its name to New Health and expanding its current space to seven thousand square feet. A whole body one-stop-shop, New Health will coordinate a team of practitioners in modalities including physical rehabilitation, yoga, Pilates, acupuncture, massage and eventually, osteopathy.
"Why wait until you're degenerated and decrepit and need surgery? Least-invasive intervention is my primary goal," says Stein. "We start with structure. Then soft tissue. Then lifestyle, nutrition, teaching people how to take care of themselves. You don't have to live with pain."
Soft-tissue pain
Oftentimes chronic pain is the result of damage to or constriction of soft tissue: the tendons, ligaments, fascia and muscles that connect or support the body.
"I think soft-tissue pain is one thing that isn't really addressed well in your typical medical environment," says Heidi Aschenbrenner, owner of Renu Massage Therapy. "Massage and bodywork, cupping therapy and acupressure are all really great ways to alleviate things many people think they just have to live with."
Muscles that experience trauma often "freeze" to protect themselves, tightening and causing pain with patterns developed over time. Various massage techniques and cupping therapy can help release soft tissue and restore function for people suffering from things like shoulder pain, meniscus injuries and more, says Aschenbrenner.
"The body is very trainable," says Aschenbrenner. "Muscles respond very well to change, you've just got to prompt them."
Regular massage is an effective process, but it may take several months to help with deeper issues. Cupping therapy, on the other hand, though its success is anecdotal and it has not been subjected to clinical trials to prove its efficacy, can sometimes take only a handful of sessions to lessen or resolve pain. It can affect muscles and tissue more deeply and more intensely, but Aschenbrenner, who is trained both by the International Cupping Therapy Association and by Chinese acupuncturist Dr. Zhou from the East-West Healing Arts Institute, says it's the most effective remedy for soft-tissue pain she's ever experienced—including injuries she has suffered in the past.
"It's worth a try," says Aschenbrenner. "It's not medication, so there are no [medication] side effects. It's not invasive, and it's one of the more effective ways to deal with soft-tissue injuries and the resulting pain. We can avoid surgeries and eliminate chronic issues. I've seen it happen over and over again."
In-home pain management
For thirty-five years, Agrace has brought a holistic touch to end-of-life pain management. Now, with two new in-home palliative care services, Agrace extends its reach to patients who do not qualify for hospice care.
The expansion began in 2012 with the subscription service Care Navigation, a nurse-driven program that helps chronically ill patients navigate the healthcare system. An assigned nurse works one-on-one with patients in their homes, those who do not have a prognosis of six months or less but still need expert guidance. In just eighteen months Care Navigation has proved to be a marked success; before enrollment, a group of participating patients logged fifty-five emergency room visits and twenty-three hospitalizations. After enrollment, the same group logged only five ER visits and four hospitalizations.
Building on these remarkable results, on April 1 Agrace launched a second program called Agrace Palliative Care Consultation Service, in which physicians and nurse practitioners provide a one-time in-home consultation for patients with a referral from their primary doctors. Unlike the subscription-based Care Navigation, the consultation is covered by Medicare, Medicaid and often by private insurance. Both programs are open to qualifying patients still seeking curative treatment.
"When we visit patients in their own environment we often get a more realistic picture than when they get dressed up and come into the clinic to see their physicians," says Dr. Dena Green, Agrace physician. "Now we can help manage their symptoms with a holistic approach so they can have the best quality of life and live life to the fullest."
Move the pain away
Research shows that keeping the body active is one of the most effective ways to prevent new pain and manage existing pain. Yoga, Pilates and range-of-motion exercises can strengthen and elongate muscles with slow and controlled movements. Tai Chi improves balance, helping to prevent falls. Strength training is essential for strong bones, and aerobic exercise improves cardiovascular health, helps control weight and increases stamina. Always consult a doctor first to determine which type of exercise is safe and appropriate for your specific condition, but do whatever you can to get moving now.
"Being in the water is great for someone with joint pain," says Sharon Baldwin, senior director of marketing and healthy living at the YMCA of Dane County. "It gives you a cardio workout and resistance, without putting any weight on the joints."
The YMCA offers LIVESTRONG, a research-based cancer recovery program. Certified instructors are trained in the elements of cancer, helping participants reduce inflammation and painful side effects with post-rehab exercise, nutrition, and supportive cancer care. Arthritis is also a condition that responds well to low-impact aerobic activities, such as swimming, walking and cycling.
"Any movement, no matter how small, can help," says Baldwin. "If a particular workout or activity appeals to you, always consult your doctor to find out whether it's right for you. Be sure to tell your instructor about your condition and avoid positions or movements that can cause pain."

binary options practice account Textbook Options S (go back »)
October 19 2012, 9:07 AM
What is the distinction? Some might shout.
There is certainly a very Big distinction. I utilised to search for possibilities tactics all the time as I assumed it will make me a superior trader. But does it truly help a trader to trade far better?
My reply is Indeed (thirty%) and No (70%). Most options strategies searches (each on the web or offline) typically lead to what I get in touch with the textbook techniques. Textbook techniques are all those that you can find in the textbooks from any bookstores or even Totally free on the internet. In situation you do not know, there are additional than fifty forms of textbook options techniques in the marketplace. They are like the straddles, strangles, butterfly unfold, calendar spreads, iron condor and in any respect.
The reply was a 30% Sure because it might aid you change your trades at instances and 70% No due to the fact in most instances, you dont will need them.
In the earlier, I used to want to know all the methods but immediately after mastering the 26th, I stopped. Simply because I start off to realise that I use considerably less than 5 of them to profit from the marketplace. And the greatest element is, most of my trades are purely based on getting calls and puts contracts.
When folks inquire, if you are only trading calls and puts, why dont you just stick to shares? And the issues generally arrive from the people today who know numerous textbook tactics. But my solution is usually simple. Selections trading provide me the leverage and versatility that shares can't present.
And binary options practice account for me, I chose not to concentrate on all these textbook techniques and alternatively emphasis on real alternatives techniques.
What are actual selections methods? In yet another phrases, it is examination. I choose to just stick to the straightforward acquire contact and place contracts relatively than to carry out a complicated trade and conclude up spending additional commission (though it is inexpensive).
I target on finding out the current market motion, when to enter and when to exit. And once I have detect when to enter, I will just purchase a phone if I imagine the industry will continue heading up or acquire a put otherwise.
This way, I preserve my trading as uncomplicated as achievable so that I can use the rest of my time to go with my liked ones. Isnt that why you picked up or strategy to pick up investing for? If yes, then keep items straightforward!
Nevertheless, I am not asking you to just know how to purchase calls and puts. There are some textbook approaches that will be practical for you and you could want to study on and recognize. These that I feel are helpful are the spreads.
If you do not know what they are, go grab any alternatives trading e-book and review debit and credit spreads. It will be practical for you if you desire to be on the highway of options investing.
Recall maintain trading as uncomplicated as attainable.
Anything you do. All you require to do is to retain things straightforward and you will win the game.

Detroit is located in the northwest corner of Lamar County in the northwest part of Alabama. It has a mayor/city council form of government.
Established in the 1870s, Detroit was originally called Millville for the many mills in the area. The first post office was established in the 1880s in the first store to open in the town, which was owned and operated by brothers Jim and Howard Davidson. The town's name was changed at that time to Detroit to avoid confusion with another Alabama town named Millerville. The town built a high school in the 1890s. Businesses in the area included a flour mill, a grist mill (operated until 1939), a sawmill (operated until 1934), and a cotton gin (operated until 1927). The town also had several stores, a salon, a tannery, and a blacksmith shop. Detroit was incorporated in 1955. At about the same time, a textile mill located in the area and employed about 100 people. Oil was found near Detroit in 1970, one of several strikes in Lamar County. Today, the town has its own water system, a volunteer fire department, and a rescue squad.
Detroit's population according to the 2010 Census was 237. Of that number, 83.1 percent of respondents identified themselves as white, 13.9 percent as African American, 3.0 percent as two or more races, and 0.4 percent as Hispanic or Latino. The town's median household income, according to 2010 estimates, was $25,536, and the per capita income was $17,818.
According to 2010 Census estimates, the work force in Detroit was divided among the following industrial categories:
· Retail trade (44.4 percent)
· Manufacturing (18.5 percent)
· Construction (11.1 percent)
· Arts, entertainment, recreation, and accommodation and food services (11.1 percent)
· Educational services, and health care and social assistance (9.3 percent)
· Professional, scientific, management, and administrative and waste management services (3.7 percent)
· Public administration (1.9 percent)
Students in Detroit attend Lamar County schools; no public schools are located within the town limits.
State Highway 17 bisects Detroit running northeast-southwest.

Pepperdine University has announced Sara Barton as its new University chaplain. Barton formerly served as assistant professor of religion at Rochester College in Rochester Hills, Michigan.
"After a nationwide search that included interviews with many gifted candidates, Sara stood out because of her ability to connect with a wide range of people, and for her love of Scripture and ability to relate it to everyday life," said Mark Davis, dean of student affairs at Pepperdine.
As University chaplain, Barton will coordinate campus-wide worship services and provide pastoral care for students, faculty, and staff. Barton will also serve on Pepperdine's newly created Spiritual Life Committee, which consists of representatives from each of Pepperdine's five schools and various University departments. Barton and representatives will meet regularly to shape the vision for spiritual life and coordinate spiritual initiatives.
Barton brings more than 15 years of diverse ministerial experience to her new role at Pepperdine. Over the past 10 years, she has served as both campus minister at Rochester College and small groups minister at the Rochester Church of Christ in Michigan. Before that, Barton spent eight years as a missionary in Uganda.
"Sara brings a sense of grace and goodness to her new role. Combined with her keen intellect and experiences as a person of deep faith, she will add measurably to campus life and the lives of our students," said Pepperdine University president Andrew Benton.
Barton received a bachelor's degree in English from Harding University; a master's degree in spiritual formation and leadership from Spring Arbor University; and she's currently pursuing a doctor of ministry degree at Lipscomb University. Sara will transition into her role as chaplain over the current school year, making several trips to campus before moving with her family to Pepperdine next summer.

Release ... Rotation ... Splash.
Keith Olbermann is back on ESPN (where once upon a time he was a most formidable SportsCenter host), with a new, live, nightly show that looks a lot like his defunct, politically-charged Countdown broadcast, but is sportscentric in the issues it covers. (A nice combination, to be sure.)
One aspect of the Countdown legacy that's been transferred to ESPN's sportsdom (no pun intended) is the "Worst (Sports) Persons in the World" segment. And who was the opening night's winner? Houston Astros owner Jim Crane.
A longtime NL franchise, the Astros are spending this inaugural season in the league of the designated hitter firmly entrenched in the basement of the AL. Why? Because they have the MLB's smallest salary. (Amazingly, more than sixty major league players individually make more than the entire Astros team put together.) No matter for Jim Crane, though, because Forbes recently reported that the Astros are nonetheless the most profitable team in baseball. In fact, in all of baseball history.
Not the most valuable (ie worth the biggest price tag if they were to be sold). That is, of course, the New York Yankees. But the most profitable, in that Crane and his cronies will rake in more dough this season than any other MLB team ownership group. In fact, as Olbermann reported, this year's Houston Astros, one of the more pathetic excuses for a major league team in recent memory, is more profitable than all of the previous six World Series Championship teams (going back to the 2007 Boston Red Sox) combined. Now that is some impressive, ridonculous, ownership chicanery, indeed.
But Crane is just the latest owner to cash in by fielding an awful team. (See "When Good Things Happen to Bad Owners: The $160 Million Miami Marlins Salary Dump," Free Sport, 11/20/12.) As Deadspin reported a few years ago ("MLB Confidential: The Financial Documents Baseball Doesn't Want You To See, Part 1"), between revenue sharing, television deals, and more, it is absolutely possible to make a buck with a bad team. "If there is a thread running through all of these financial statements," notes Deadspin, "it is the incredible ability of baseball teams - whether they're winners or losers, big market or small, "rich" or "poor" - to make their owners a fat pile of money."
Nice work, if you can get it.
Nice too, to have Olbermann ("Way downtown ... bang!") back on the sports beat.

According to my kids, there's nothing better than pizza. If I EVER ask them for an opinion on my menu plan, I know exactly what their answer will be.
(So honestly, I don't ask very often.)
When my kids were little-bitty, they ate this Spinach Artichoke Pizza . . . and loved it.
Even though I try to convince them that this story is actually true, they now protest and assure me that forcing them to eat it would count as a cruel and unusual parenting practice.
My little secret? I'm actually glad when they refuse to eat it! More for me!! This pizza is good.
Crazy good.
I love this flavor combo. I started out making a spinach artichoke dip for tortilla chips like the ones I'd ordered in restaurants, then added chicken and served it over pasta, and finally came up with this pizza idea.
- One can thin-crust pizza dough (I like to use the thin-crust because it fits my pan and I don't have to bother with pressing it out.)
- One teaspoon olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic powder
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (divided)
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- One can artichoke hearts (drained and chopped)
- 10 oz. frozen spinach (thawed and drained)
- Cooked chicken, chopped into bite-sized pieces (optional)
Roll out your pizza dough on a cookie sheet or baking stone. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese. (Can you tell that I don't actually measure the Parmesan cheese?)
Top the crust with drained spinach, chopped artichokes, mozzarella cheese and remaining Parmesan. Sometimes I add pre-cooked chicken to the top as well, but the pizza tastes great and is very filling without it.
Bake according to the directions for your crust or until brown and bubbly.
Seriously, this is one of the best flavor combinations out there. (At least in my totally unbiased opinion.) There's something about the saltiness of the artichokes and the goo-iness of the cheese that just makes me happy.
This pizza is perfect for a party, an appetizer, or . . . for a dinner that makes you glad you chose not to go out to a restaurant that night.
No, the kids don't like it (mostly because of the abundance of green), but there's nothing easier than making a cheese pizza for them at the same time. And as long as they're having pizza, my mama-guilt over making something different for the kids doesn't kick in.
What is your favorite flavor combo? How many variations have you come up with for it?

Steer Clear of ConAgra
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- When it rains, it pours. Unfortunately for ConAgra (CAG) shareholders, there is no shelter for a stock that has been in a perpetual decline, losing close to 20% over the past month.
While it hasn't been a "nutritious" year for the overall packaged food industry, ConAgra hasn't been able to stop the bleeding -- unlike Kraft (KRFT) and Kellogg (K), which have also faced headwinds due to weak volumes.
For all of the criticism I've unleashed towards this company this year, ConAgra's managemen has produced nothing but dismal growth and eroding margins and has yet to prove me wrong. Now, after the company issued worse-than-expected guidance last week following another disastrous quarter, investors who insist on holding this stock might as well starve themselves.
On some levels, I take it personal for how poorly managed this company is now. It's sacrilege to condemn the maker of Swiss Miss and Peter Pan peanut butter. Just a year ago the company posted a net income of $250 million. But with year-over-year profits declining 42% to $144 million, one has to wonder if ConAgra's consumer segment, which is the company's largest division, will ever recover.Essentially, earnings, on a per-share basis, declined from 61 cents to 34 cents. Although on an adjusted basis, earnings inched up to 37 cents per share, the company still missed Street estimates by 2 cents. This prolongs what has been a poor history of execution, which has made it tough to nibble on this stock, even when shares appeared to have bottomed. Although a case can be made the stock has reached the discount bin, the company still lags its peers in areas like returns on capital and more importantly, margins. With revenue in the consumer segment shedding another 2% this quarter combined with a 21% decline in profits, I don't think anyone can justify having a glass-half-full view, regardless of the angle. ConAgra bulls will disagree. As have been the case for the past couple of quarters, they will play the "Ralcorp card." It's true that ConAgra's overall revenue growth did climb 27% year over year. But astute investors understand that without the acquisition of Ralcorp, virtually all of that 27% growth never would have been realized.

NBA Playoff Predictions... from the Cheerleaders
A few fighting words from the only ones closer to the action than Kobe and Dwight Howard and, according to LeBron, a little too close.
By Shawn Donnelly
ESQ: Nobody is picking Orlando to even make the conference finals this year. Anything to say to the doubters?
HEATHER: Tell the doubters to FEAR THE BEARD. In all caps. The players decided to grow beards for the playoffs. Then the Magic staff and the community joined in. It's getting very hairy in Orlando. But I think if we can get our chemistry going and get past Atlanta and Chicago — aka, Derrick Rose — we know we have a good shot at a rematch with the Lakers. And I think this time we could win.

The guard opened fire at the hospital on Thursday killing three American doctors. The AP is reporting the shooter is wounded and in police custody.
Attacks on Westerners have been on the rise since the beginning of the year when Afghans voted for a new president to replace Hamid Karzai who is banned from running again.

With more than 25 years of experience in quality management, Roy Lebel is manager of the Quality Management Office. The office encompasses four functions at the Laboratory: quality programs and services, management services, the integrated assessment program, and standards-based management. The new office was formed as part of an overhaul of the Laboratory's support operations to increase efficiency.
Lebel worked as a reliability analyst for Pan American World Airways while he earned a B.S. in aeronautics and aeronautical management from Dowling College in 1979. In 1981, he moved on to become a quality engineer at Gull Airborne Instruments, Inc., in Smithown, NY. In 1984, he joined the Harris Corporation in Syosset, NY, as product assurance manager, and, in 1992, he became the quality manager for Brookhaven Lab's Magnet Division, which supplied superconducting magnets for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider Project, a position he held until 1996. He then joined Dorne & Margolin, Inc., where he was director of product assurance until 1997. He then became director of operations for North Atlantic Instruments in Bohemia, NY.
In 1999, he returned to Brookhaven Lab as manager of quality operations for the Laboratory's Waste Management Division. In the same year, he was assigned as project manager for the development of Brookhaven's integrated approach to Quality Management. He then became manager of the Laboratory's Quality Programs & Services Office, a position he held until February 9, when the new Quality Management Office was formed.
Lebel served as chair of the Long Island section of the American Society for Quality from 1998 to 2000, and, in 2003, he worked with DOE headquarters and the DOE complex to streamline a nationwide quality assurance organization. In 2003, Lebel was invited to the Korean Atomic Energy Institute in South Korea to lecture on Brookhaven's quality management program. Since 1999, Lebel has been an adjunct instructor in Stony Brook University's MBA program, teaching a course on quality management.

Dan Nolan reports from Canberra on the neck-and-neck race in the general election
Australians are waiting to find out who will be their next prime minister, with election results set to produce a hung parliament.Officials were counting the last ballots on Sunday, but it was already clear that neither the ruling Australian Labor Party nor the opposition coalition would win the 76 seats needed for an outright majority.
Labor is predicted to win 70 seats in the 150-seat parliament, while the Liberal-National coalition is predicted to win 72, according to ABC,the Australian public broadcaster."The people have spoken, but it's going to take a little while to determine exactly what they have said," Julia Gillard, the incumbent prime minister, said in Melbourne.
"We will continue to fight to form government in this country."
Gillard warned of "anxious days ahead" as both parties woo the independents and Greens, now expected to hold the balance of power.'Legitimacy lost'
Karl Bitar, Labor's senior executive, conceded that it could not hope to take more than 75 seats.
"The Libs are in a very, very similar position," he told Nine Network television.
Tony Abbot, the leader of the opposition coalition, told jubilant supporters in Sydney that Labor had definitely lost its majority"What that means is that the government has lost its legitimacy. And I say that [it] will never be able to govern effectively in a minority," he said."We stand ready to govern and we stand ready to offer the Australian people stable, predictable and competent government."Two separate television exit polls conducted before polling closed predicted Gillard's party would win by 51 or 52 per cent of the vote to the coalition's 48 or 49, but indicated dangerous swings against Labor in key marginal seats.
Early results indeed showed swings against Labor in the battleground states of Queensland and New South Wales, but stronger support for the Greens, which favours the governing party under Australia's complex preferences system.Independent kingmakers"This is a very stable political system they have here in Australia but behind the scenes there will be a lot of horse-trading, a lot of debate, a lot of arguing," Al Jazeera's Veronica Pedrosa, reporting from Sydney, said.
"The three independent kingmakers in the lower house of parliament represent rural constituencies and they have a lot to work out before they can agree with the opposition coalition or the Labor party of the prime minister."
Two independents, Rob Oakeshott and Tony Windsor, have said they would side with whichever party could provide the most stable government. A third independent, Bob Katter, said he would lend support to the side that pledges the best deal for his constituents.
All three are former members of conservative parties.Gillard, a 48-year-old former lawyer, came to power in a June 24 internal Labor coup during the first term of her predecessor, Kevin Rudd, and almost immediately called elections to confirm her mandate.
However, it is thought that the overthrow of Rudd, who had lost much of the support he had at the election according to opinion polls, angered many voters and cost them the traditional advantage of the incumbent.
Abbott, a married 52-year-old former Roman Catholic seminarian, barely gained the endorsement eight months ago of his Liberal Party, which has led Australia for most of the last 60 years.

behind the song
Behind the Song: Carrie Underwood's 'Two Black Cadillacs'
"It's drama, and it's dark," said Underwood about "Two Black Cadillacs," her ACM Award-nominated song. And, she added, "you have to listen to the whole thing," because you'll be "sucked in."
Behind the Song: Blake Shelton's 'Mine Would Be You'
Some songs can take a bit of time to really sink in and win over fans as well as the artists. That wasn't the case, though, with "Mine Would Be You," the No. 1 hit from Blake Shelton.
Behind the Song: Lee Brice's 'I Drive Your Truck'
"She couldn't even say it — she couldn't say 'I drive his truck.' She was like, 'no, I don't want to do it today.' And I was like, 'oh yeah we are!'"
Behind the Song: Florida Georgia Line's 'Cruise'
Songwriter Chase Rice and both Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley of Florida Georgia Line go 'behind the song' and talk about the origins of FGL's first No. 1 hit "Cruise," which has been nominated for Two ACM Awards.
Behind the Song: The Band Perry's 'Better Dig Two'
"It was our first single for our sophomore release, which some say is the most scrutinized piece of music an artist ever puts out," Kimberly Perry told Radio.com. Now the video for the song has been nominated for an ACM Award.
Behind the Song: Keith Urban's 'We Were Us'
Songwriter Jimmy Robbins and singer Keith Urban talk about the origins of "We Were Us," the No. 1 duet between Urban and Miranda Lambert that has been nominated for Vocal Event of the Year at the ACM Awards.
Behind the Song: Blake Shelton's 'Boys 'Round Here'
"'Boys Round Here' pretty much represents who I am as a human being," Shelton said of his ACM Award-nominated hit. Songwriter Dallas Davidson and producer Scott Hendricks offer details on the story behind the song.
Behind the Song: Miranda Lambert's ACM-Nominated 'Mama's Broken Heart'
"I feel like women in my grandmother's generation were expected to put on a pretty face and not really show their crazy sides," Kacey Musgraves said, describing the ideas behind the three-time ACM-Award nominated song she cowrote with Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally. "Now, it's a bit different."
Behind the Song: Tim McGraw's 'Highway Don't Care'
It's a moody anthem that serves as the closing song on his 2013 album' Two Lanes of Freedom.' McGraw was drawn to it's "timeless" quality.
Behind the Song: Kacey Musgraves' 'Merry Go 'Round'
"When we were about to pick the first single I really lobbied for 'Merry Go 'Round' because I'm out there every night and I can tell you, hands down this is the one people are connecting with. I'm really glad that was my first thing to say to the world."
Behind the Song: Hunter Hayes' 'I Want Crazy'
"'Crazy' was just my way of saying, 'That's real love. When you feel like you've gone crazy. That's when you've actually gotten something right.'"
Behind The Song: Vampire Weekend's 'Diane Young'
Frontman Ezra Koenig on about how their hit single from the GRAMMY-nominated 'Modern Vampires of the City' went through a rough ugly duckling stage until they figured out that vocal effect—you know the one.
Behind the Song: Darius Rucker's 'Wagon Wheel'
"When I heard 'Wagon Wheel' at my daughter's high school talent contest, I just thought, 'Man some day I'm going to cut the song for a record.' It was one of those lightning bolt things that I can't even explain."
Behind The Song: Lorde's 'Royals'
"I think one of the first lines I wrote from that song," Lorde told Radio.com, "which was, 'We're driving Cadillacs in our dreams,' was in a diary that I had when I was like 11 or 12, so young."
Behind the Song: Katy Perry's 'Roar'
"I am woman, hear me roar." It's the simple phrase that Helen Reddy sang in 1971 and 42 years later would inspire Katy Perry, along with her co-writer Bonnie McKee, to write "Roar."
Behind the Song: Sara Bareilles' 'Brave'
If Sara Bareilles ends up winning the Best Pop Solo Performance GRAMMY for "Brave," she owes Sara Quin an Edible Arrangement or at least a thank you card.
Behind the Song: Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines'
One thing is clear: Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" was the most talked about song of the summer and now it's up for 4 GRAMMYs including Record of the Year. Thicks says it's all due to Pharrell and a rather racy video.
Behind The Song: Miranda Lambert And Blake Shelton's ACM-Nominated 'Over You'
If it wasn't for a telling comment from Blake Shelton's father, the ACM Award-nominated song "Over You" might never have been recorded. Written by Blake and his wife Miranda Lambert, the touching song is about the loss of Blake's brother, who […]

A number of years ago, during one of my numerous and brief jaunts to Sin City, one tall-standing sign caught my attention in a way that the others, overloaded with neon script and flashing lights, did not. "Las Vegas Erotic … Continue reading
Boning-Up on V-Day Porn
Once the end-of-year holiday and sales bonanza has died down a little, store shelves lose their sparkling tinsel and multi-colored string lights for a decidedly more passionate hue: the red of eroticism, lustful fervor, and, yes, love most of all. … Continue reading

E-Book vs. Printed Books by Tony Puckett
Allison recently shared an article on Facebook regarding the rising use of e-books among readers and the slow decline in people reading printed material (books, magazines, newspapers, etc). To read the article click here. People are using computers, iPads, phones, and other devices to read books across the nation. People who e-read actually tend to read twice as much as those who read using printed material.
I remember when the Kindle first came out…I HAD to have one…and quickly when on Amazon and ordered myself one. Then when I purchased my first iPad, I downloaded the Kindle App. Amazingly, what I found, was that when I purchased a book and read it electronically, if I really enjoyed it, I had to have a print copy to place on my bookshelf!?!? So here I was, purchasing my books twice!?!?
I guess maybe I'm slightly a nerd, but I like to have that printed copy sitting on my shelf, and then I can go back through and put post-it notes at the paragraphs that stick out the most, and reference them later on. And of course, there is something about having bookcases LOADED with all those wonderful books.
Now there are even books that are only published electronically, and for those of us old fashioned print-book readers, we have to cave in and read electronic copies if we wish to read. Of course, for the wanna-be-author, electronic publication is the way to go. Much cheaper and a whole lot easier to get your material out there.
As for me…I actually deleted the Kindle App off my iPad, gave away the Kindle, and I'm just an avid reader with the real old fashioned printed books! (There's also nothing like walking into a book store and getting lost in the shelves of books…kinda like heaven on earth!)
2 Responses to "E-Book vs. Printed Books"
Tony, I'm also an avid print reader and have really resisted the e-reader trend. I have an ipad and do read some on there, but am sad that many of my favorite magazines are no longer even available in print any longer. I guess we'll see where all of this takes us, but there is nothing that can replace a good hard copy for me. Thanks for your post.
I agree completely Tony! Need to have that book in my hand and know where I'm at in the book. Not only that, but if it's really good, I want to share it with my husband, daughter, mother, neighbor, co-worker, etc… You can't do that with an e-reader!!!

Tom Douglas shares exclusive details on Grange Hall projecton November 1, 2012 @ 12:42 pm (Updated: 9:22 pm - 11/2/12 )
Seattle Kitchen host and James Beard Award-winning Restaurateur Tom Douglas has a new project in the works and he's sharing exclusive details with KIRO Radio listeners.
Set to open in April, the project is currently dubbed "Grange Hall" which Douglas says is inspired by farmer collectives that cropped up after the Civil War.
"The idea is farming and getting us ever and ever closer from the farm to the table."
Located on 6th Avenue between Lenora and Blanchard, the new space has 20 foot ceilings and runs nearly the full length of a city block.
With all that space, Douglas is expanding this new operation beyond just a restaurant.
"There's a lot of things I want to do in the food world that aren't necessarily restaurants," he says.
The large hall-like space is set to house a coffee shop, a bakery, a small restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and what Douglas seems most excited about: a grocery store.
"It's going to be called Home Remedy," says Douglas. "We're going to have a line of frozen foods, a line of soups, all these things for you to take up to your apartment."
The store will feature dishes and products from Tom Douglas restaurants.
"You might get ravioli from Cuoco in a little pack, or lasagna from Cuoco. You might get the dips and pita from Lola."
Douglas says new space will even feature a radio and TV studio.
"It's going to be great fun," he says.
Whether it's floating on Green Lake, eating shrimp tacos at Agua Verde, or taking weekend drives out to the Cascades, she loves to enjoy the Pacific Northwest lifestyle as much as humanly possible.

The Hole Story
Theresa Sparks, the transgendered head of the San Francisco Human Rights Commission, in response to the AFDI's latest bus ads, said that it's easier to get the government to pay for your sex-change in Iran than it is in America.
Sparky's hope is that the listener will come away thinking that Iran is less oppressive to deviance than the USA. Iran, indeed, is second to only Thailand in having the most transgendered men. And it's precisely because Iran puts men to death for homosexuality which puts them on the cutting edge, so to speak.
For gays in Iran, it's "your junk or your life."
Huff Poop reports:
Iranian-born filmmaker, Tanaz Eshaghian, who brought attention to Iran's transgender community in her award-winning 2008 documentary film, "Be Like Others," illustrates the logic behind the law. In one scene of the film, a Muslim cleric explains how Islam supports sex-change surgery. "An action is allowed unless it states specifically in the Quran that an act is a sin. Why is adultery one of the seven deadly sins? Because it specifically says so in the Quran. Because it does not specifically state that sex change is a sin, therefore, we cannot call it a sin."
Yet while the freedom to change sex might come as a relief to some, Eshaghian also draws attention to the pressure felt by gay men and women in Iran to have sexual reassignment surgeries as a means of legitimizing their sexual orientation. As gay individuals, they are committing a crime. As transsexuals, they can exist under Iranian law.
Ali Askar, a male-to-female who underwent surgery, told the BBC, "If I didn't have to operate, I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't touch God's work."
Gender theorist Afsaneh Najmabadi adds: "For legal and medical authorities, sex change surgeries are explicitly framed as the cure for a diseased abnormality, and on occasion they are proposed as a religioegally sanctioned option for heteronormalizing people with same-sex desires or practices."
C'mon, Sparky. Tell the "hole" story.

eek! attack of the san-fran-iranian transgenders!
Damn this took a sick turn right into freakyville.
This has to get National attention now.+5
Let's repatriate all militant faggots to Iran since it is so welcoming for them.
Then we can nuke it.
Problem(s) solved.Noteworthy Comment +10
She's a he-he, He's a she-she.. WTF? Are we still on Earth?+6
It's easier for queers to get a hair cut over there too. Just don't get too upset if they take a little too much off the top when they stretch your neck out.Noteworthy Comment +11
'For gays in Iran, it's "your junk or your life.""
There's a market for that stuff on the darkie continent.+3
It's easier to get the Iranian government to pay for your beheading as well.
Pay for your own mutilation sicko.+2
An Iranian sex change consists of a rope and a construction crane. These lefties are so fucking stupid it beggars belief.+6
This country has gone fucking nuts.+3
San Francisco is less than useless…to intelligent people that love freedom. They are the perfect useful idiots for the muzloids.+3
Aha! So THAT's why Obumfuk won't bomb them into the stone age.+2
For the first time in human history, the literalism of Islam actually results in something that is more progressive than what you might see in the world at large
Of coure, the reason The Koran says nothing about gender reassignment surgery is because the concept is about 5,000 years beyond the mental capacities of anyone living in Arabia in the 7th century. That's why the Koran says nothing about it+3
Can someone give me an approximate date when the last practicing conventional heterosexual left San Francisco?+3
I guess that explains Saudi Arabia's shortage of head-chopping executioners.+1

Friends. How Many of Us Have Them?
Michael Vick is not alone in the world. He has some friends in the world willing to stand up for him on this whole dog fighting mess. No, not friends like those "friends" who snitched him out to Sports Illustrated. Not even "friends" like former teammate Ray Buchanan who backtracked on statements that Vick has long been involved in dog fighting.
No, finally, Michael Vick has enlisted some real friends in support of him. Because Arthur Blank was getting lonely.
Clinton Portis says:
"I don't know if he was fighting dogs or not, but it's his property, it's his dog. If that's what he wants to do, do it. I think people should mind their business.
I know a lot of back roads that got a dog fight if you want to go see it. But they're not bothering those people because those people are not big names. I'm sure there's some police got some dogs that are fighting them, some judges got dogs and everything else."
Tommy Reamon, Michael Vick's high school coach, says:
"He is hurting and hoping that this process will take care of itself as soon as possible.
If I can quote one thing that is so powerful about Michael Vick today, is that he is making those immediate changes in his life and his environment. He is doing it at this present time, as we speak.
He is doing those things that we all know need to be done. However, the fascination of the media continues and nobody sees him making these changes. He's doing what he has to do and God bless him.
But he's hurting.
He will be cleared on this mess. There's no question."
Virginia Tech head coach Frank Beamer says:
"The thing about Michael is that he is a good person with a good heart. I think he understands he needs to make good decisions and be concerned with who is around him, because who's around him gets connected to him. I think he understands that now."
So, eff you Congressman Tom Lantos and your witch hunt against Vick. Do you know how much gas is? Aren't there some missing soldiers you need to find? Michael Vick should not be a congressional priority. That said, I'm sorry he ruined your fantasy football team and that he's generally disappointed you in becoming the "next best thing."
(I must confess that I write in fear of the Pacifist Viking. He appears sometimes to chide me with his cute bunny avatar to make me feel bad about not being as devoted of an animal lover as he is. I assure you, PV, my pet is in no danger!)

Talk about dropping a bombshell.
There's undoubtedly more that will come out of this within the coming days. My initial reaction, however, is that Omar's already been told he is gone by the end of the year, and he wants to bring Rubin down with him.
For one, it's kind of ridiculous for Omar to call into question Rubin's objectivity; by firing Bernazard, he more or less acknowledges that his reporting was true. Either that, or fact based reporting is the new power grab and Sean Hannity's been vindicated.
Omar clearly has an axe to grind with Rubin. It's a personal grudge. Had Rubin not broke the Bernazard stories, Omar might have been able to keep the lid on Bernazard's bizarre behavior, and ultimately his job. Whether he is really distressed to see Bernazard leave is debatable. Regardless, the popular perception is that Omar brought Bernazard aboard. Even if that isn't true- that Bernazard was, in fact, a hiring forced upon him by the Wilpon's buddies in the commissioners office- Omar, as General Manager, has to take the fall for Bernazard's actions.
I don't think Omar would have called out Rubin if there were any chance he would retain his job. It's beyond unprofessional to call out a reporter at a news conference, to put it euphemistically. You could argue it's more embarrassing than anything Bernazard did. It seems as though he's doing this to get back at Rubin for basically costing his job, plain and simple.
Maybe Omar's job is still safe, indicating that he took Bernazard's firing to heart. Or the Wilpon's are just using him as their whipping boy for the time being. At any rate, Rubin's made his case- the burden of proof is on them now. Omar is yet to articulate his position, but the media's going to haunt him until he does. Omar's just nailed his own coffin.
Of course, if it really did pain Omar to fire Bernazard, it kind of goes against the theory of factions developing in the front office between people supporting more autonomy for Omar and those pushing for Bernzard to have the Wilpon's ear. I would at least imagine everyone's job in the front office, and the Wilpon's reputation, is in jeopardy now because of Rubin's reporting
Thus, maybe the Mets have launched a united front against Rubin. If they can find- or fabricate, for that matter- ample proof that Rubin was angling for a job in the Mets organization, or resented Bernazard or whoever else was close with him in Player Development for not hiring him on a previous occasion, than it damages Rubin's credibility. Right now, however, it looks as though their plan of attack is for Rubin to prove a negative.
And no one's giving Omar the benefit of the doubt either.
It's likely someone's been carefully crafting this story for some time now, finding allies in the Media like the New York Post's Bart Hubbach. The Post-News rivalry is enough of an incentive for Hubbuch to do Omar and co.'s dirty work. If you recall, Hubbuch, after being nailed by Keith Olbermann last year over Jerry Manuel's fertilizer comments, called Rubin a "gutless, sycophantic counterpart." When asked last Wednesday why Rubin and the Daily News have a propensity to publish Bernazard stories, Hubbach said, "I'm not going to get into a "p" match with the Daily News or defend Bernazard, but I will tell you there is a bit an agenda there. Someone's taking this awfully personal." He was also singing the organization's tune when it came to Bernazard, saying, "He's not the most pleasant person I've ever dealt with, but it's more of him scowling all the time rather than him being openly angry. He's actually a quiet guy, at least the times I've been around him."
Thanks for pointing out he's not Sean Casey, Bart.
Jon Heyman, who has been working for SNY and WFAN for awhile now, also voiced skepticism about the Daily News's habit a couple days back; although to his credit he was fairly supportive of Rubin after the press conference. Ohm Youngmisuk and Roger Rubin from the Daily News obviously had Rubin's back. Gary Cohen and Keith Hernandez, who really have nothing lose given their stature, also supported Rubin.
In other words, the Mets might as well have attacked a popular professor on sabbatical.
All in all, it looks like Omar, the Wilpon's, and everyone else took a reactionary stance, and they're going to pay for it. Congratulations to Adam for bringing down Tony Bernazard- and perhaps an inept GM as well.

Boys With Autism May Grow Faster as Babies
US News HealthDay
Date Published:
October 7, 2011
Boys with autism tend to grow faster as babies, with differences from typically developing infants seen in their head size, height and weight, a new study says. Researchers said the findings may offer new clues about the underlying mechanisms of autism. A larger head size probably means the children also have a larger brain.

What's In Store
Wouldn't you like to put any worries that you might have about next season's camp enrollment in your rearview mirror? Making your camp "the" place where campers want to be can be easily achieved if you employ some simple but effective marketing management strategies.
The Reality of Perception
So, how can you cultivate the perception that your camp's popularity is soaring and that to secure a space in next year's camp means completing an application ASAP to avoid being put on the waiting list?
The answer is in a concept called marketing management. Marketing management involves taking care of business with the basic four Ps of marketing in mind: Product, Price, Place and Promotion. All four of these Ps interact and complement each other.
The interrelationship between the four Ps of marketing should be the focus of effective marketing management. High energy can be created when all four principles of marketing are given equal attention.
If you look at businesses that have failed or have been slow to take off, most of their owners put the marketing principle of promotion on the back burner.
One of the mindsets that can lead to this mistake is the belief that if the product is superb, the word will spread and the campers will enroll.
Another mindset that can neglect the principle of promotion is the belief that a beautiful camp, located in an ideal setting will create demand and, in turn, full enrollments.
And perhaps the least effective mindset (usually resorted to if all else fails), is that healthy camp enrollments can be all about price. Chop the price to undercut the competition and maybe camp enrollments will improve.
These mindsets may seem extreme at first glance but think about it… It could seem quite logical to believe that having innovative programs with a dynamic staff (the Product), with gorgeous, state of the art camp facilities (Place) at a reasonable camp tuition (Price) would make everyone want to enroll and that the high quality of the camp will sell itself.
After all, most people appreciate high quality. However, consider this logic: If the marketing principle of promotion is being employed by a lot of other camps, people may never discover that your camp (as great as it is) even exists.
From this perspective, it should be pretty clear that the contribution of promotion in marketing management is just as important as product, price and place, especially when you are struggling to fill camper enrollments and long to enjoy the security of long waiting lists.
Promotion's Secret Weapon
There are many promotional techniques to get the word out about your camp: the Web, print media advertising, mass mailings, even cross-promoting with a clothing or equipment vendor.
Most of these techniques usually require some hefty upfront costs. And since many of these promotional techniques are probably already part of your promotional strategies, you might be ready to improve a secret promotional weapon that is already part of your camp business, the camp store.
Marketing studies have shown that many campers who purchase and use products that they have bought at camp (and on the camp, on-line store) have a greater sense of loyalty to the camp. What camp owner wouldn't want campers to return year after year and to have campers who love their camp experience so much, that each year they convince more of their friends become campers, too?
What about this scenario… Campers who can't wait for their own kids to be old enough so that they can go to camp that they loved when they were kids. When you consider the branding opportunities in your camp store and how this can foster customer loyalty, you may decide that your camp store should be a lot more than keeping your campers happy with snacks and t-shirts.
Having your camp store transactions help promote the value of your camp with the help of your current target market is truly a marketing manager's dream come true.
By using the some of the ideas listed below, you can not only increase your revenue stream from your camp store but you can also accomplish what is the ultimate goal of the most effective marketing managers — getting your campers on "the escalator of consumption."
In other words, entice your campers to buy merchandise that helps them stay not only connected with your camp but also gives them the mindset of wanting more of it.
The first step on the escalator could be buying something at the camp store, either virtually (on-line) or at the actual camp store.
