By David Elmore, Pure Matters
If you've sprained your ankle, you know what severe pain is.
But maybe that "sprain" was a "strain" or possibly even a "break."
The amount of pain in each case can be virtually equal, so oftentimes the only way to find out what you have is to see a doctor.
Just the facts
Here are some facts on musculoskeletal injuries:
- Sprains are a stretch and/or tear of a ligament, the tissue connecting two bones. Ligaments stabilize and support the body's joints. For example, ligaments in the knee connect the upper leg with the lower leg, enabling people to walk and run.
- Strains are a twist, pull and/or tear of a muscle and/or tendon. Tendons are cords of tissue that connect muscles to bones.
- Breaks are a fracture, splinter or complete break in bone, often caused by accidents, sports injuries or bone weakness.
Health care providers attend to millions of Americans with musculoskeletal injuries each year, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS). More than one in four Americans has a musculoskeletal condition that needs medical attention.
A sprain is caused by trauma -- a fall, twist or blow to the body, for example -- that knocks a joint out of position and overstretches or even ruptures supporting ligaments. Some examples: When you land on an outstretched arm, slide into a base, land on the side of the foot or run on an uneven surface.
Although the intensity varies, pain, bruising and inflammation are common to all three categories of sprains: mild, moderate and severe. You may feel a tear or pop in the joint. With a severe sprain, ligaments tear completely or separate from the bone. This loosening interferes with joint function. A moderate sprain partially tears the ligament, producing joint instability and some swelling. A ligament is stretched in a mild sprain, but there is no joint loosening or instability.
Sprains happen most often in the ankle, and are more likely if you've had a previous sprain there. Repeated sprains can lead to ankle arthritis, a loose ankle or tendon injury.
Acute strains are caused by stretching or pulling a muscle or tendon. Chronic strains are the result of overuse of muscles and tendons, through prolonged, repetitive movement. Inadequate rest during intense training can cause a strain.
Typical symptoms of strain include pain, muscle spasm, muscle weakness, swelling, inflammation and cramping. In severe strains, the muscle and/or tendon is partially or completely ruptured, leaving the person incapacitated. Some muscle function will be lost with a moderate strain, in which the muscle/tendon is overstretched and slightly torn. With a mild strain, the muscle/tendon is stretched or pulled, slightly.
These are some common strains:
- Back strain. When the muscles that support the spine are twisted, pulled or torn. Athletes who engage in excessive jumping -- during basketball or volleyball, for example -- are vulnerable to this injury.
- Hamstring muscle strain. A tear or stretch of a major muscle in the back of the thigh. The injury can sideline a person for up to six months. The likely cause is muscle strength imbalance between the hamstrings and the quadriceps, the muscles in the front of the thigh. Kicking a football, running or leaping to make a basket can pull a hamstring. Hamstring injuries tend to recur.
Bone breaks, unlike sprains and strains, should always be looked at by a health care provider to ensure proper healing. Call your provider if the pain does not subside.
Athletes are most susceptible
All sports and exercises, even walking, carry a risk of sprains. The areas of the body most at risk for a sprain depend on the specific activities involved. For example, basketball, volleyball, soccer and other jumping sports share a risk for foot, leg and ankle sprains.
Soccer, football, hockey, boxing, wrestling and other contact sports put athletes at risk for strains. So do sports that feature quick starts, such as hurdling, long jump and running races. Gymnastics, tennis, rowing, golf and other sports that require extensive gripping put participants at higher risk for hand strains. Elbow strains frequently occur in racquet, throwing and contact sports.
Treating injuries
A severe sprain or strain may require surgery or immobilization, followed by physical therapy. Mild sprains and strains may require rehabilitation exercises and a change in activity during recovery.
In all but mild cases, your health care provider should evaluate the injury and establish a treatment and rehabilitation plan.

With McKinley Gray and Lake Hoard leading the pack, the Epiphany School cross country team is seeking new adventures.
Gray, a two-time all-state performer, is on a mission to win a state championship for the boys' team, while Hoard, an eighth-grader, has her sights set on another impressive season.
"I have a lot of pressure on me this year," said Gray. "I need to keep on pushing myself a lot harder and keep getting better every race."
Gray, who placed second at last year's state meet, a mere 22 seconds behind Wayne Christian's Connor Jones, spent the offseason training and conditioning, in hopes of having a phenomenal junior season.
"His nickname on the team is jackrabbit," said Epiphany coach Tom McLaughlin. "The team is convinced they won't catch him, so their goal is to get as narrow of a gap to him as possible."
McLaughlin said the boys' squad is the deepest it's been.
The Falcons have two seniors — Bennett Bridgeman and Austin Ferreira — along with a group of talented underclassmen.
Jake Oros finished 10th at last year's state meet. Nate Polo, Harrison Cho, Kai Treichel and Patrick Robertson have also run strong meets.
The Falcons were third at states last year.
"Our goal is to move up at least one place," McLaughlin said. "We would love to finish at least second, and we have enough depth that I am going to take seven really good runners."
Gray has a personal-best time of 17 minutes, 34 seconds in an offseason road race. He ran last year's state championship meet in 17:39.
"My goal is to be in the 16s by the end of the year, to be state champion and, as a team, win every meet and be undefeated," Gray said.
Hoard, who is only in her second year of running cross country, was a star last season for the girls' team. As a seventh-grader, she placed third in the state meet.
Despite recovering from a couple injuries, Hoard is ready to continue her spirited running.
"Lake is very tough mentally, especially in a race situation," McLaughlin said. "She definitely gives it her all."
Hoard easily won her race on Friday at Creekside Park with a time of 22:57. Her personal-best time is 20:48.
"I'm just trying to be the best that I can be," Hoard said. "Hopefully I can do even better than I did last year. I am trying to work up to my PR from last year."
The oldest girl on Epiphany's girls' team is sophomore Laurie Howard. Hannah Russo, Hannah Lee Dixon, Eve Johnson and Jane Blackerby are also contributing in team points.
The girls' squad placed fourth at last year's state meet.
"I'd like to see them move up one spot too," McLaughlin said. "They will hold their own. They are very young and the bulk of them are eighth-graders."
Other Epiphany runners include Jonathan Miao, James Davis, David Blaufuss, Jake Frybarger, Ryan Davis, Harrison Little, Nick Eperson, Sean Eperson, Samuel Cho, Andrew Hadad, Alexander Haeberle, Abigail Garman, Sarah Childs, Summersjoy Whittaker, Anna Walker, Burke Whaley, Ian Childs and Mallory Tripp.

SNOW HILL — Greene County Early College earned the distinction of being a 2013 Blue Ribbon School.
The Early College was one of six schools in the state, and one of 236 schools in the nation, to receive the award.
The school is a partner of Lenoir Community College and meets on the Greene County campus of LCC.
Patrick Greene, the principal at Greene Central High School, was the principal of the Early College last year, and said schools were recognized for either exemplary performance or improvement. He said Greene Early College was recognized for performance due to its 100 percent proficiency on state tests and 100 percent graduation rate.
Charlie Langley, current principal of Greene Early College, said the success of the school comes from a strong teaching staff.
"We have a staff of eight teachers, and they are the leadership," Langley said. "They are the ones who help make a lot of the decisions. It's a culture of shared decision making."
Langley and Greene, along with English teacher Emily Garris, will be in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 17 to have the Blue Ribbon award presented to them by U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan.
Greene said Garris has been with the school since it first opened its doors in 2004, and has been an exceptional teacher. He said she helps out with the prom and yearbook and gets involved in the lives of her students.
Langley said the school's personalization adds its success.
"It's what makes us different," he said. "You can get to know each individual kid, and the small size makes it possible to do so."
Langley said the school currently has 140 students.
Garris said she is honored the school is being recognized.
"We've definitely worked hard for it," she said
Langley said the partnership with LCC is a huge part of its success.
"We could not do the program without them," he said. "It's extremely helpful that they buy into the program. It's not everybody that has that kind of relationship with their higher education partner."
Greene said he believes Greene Early College will continue to be successful.
"This is not a one-time thing," Greene said. "Sure, it's a one-time award, and we are happy we got it. But this is the culture of this school. This is the success level they've accepted for themselves, and really nothing less."

ELON — From a tactical standpoint, Saturday's game followed a businesslike model for the Elon University football team.
Offensive coordinator Chris Pincince and defensive coordinator Ed Pinkham called the plays for their respective units, as per usual.
And the Phoenix took care of Division II opponent West Virginia State in orderly fashion, rolling up a 48-14 rout at Rhodes Stadium.
But emotionally, with Elon coach Jason Swepson hospitalized for a second day, this became a departure from the norm.
"It was a lot different," linebacker Jonathan Spain said. "Pre-game, (Friday) night, (Saturday) morning, different people were talking to us instead of Coach Swepson. You heard different voices."
The visuals proved striking for receiver Aaron Mellette.
"It was weird not seeing him at the pre-game meal and not seeing him right before the game for the pre-game speech," Mellette said of the absent Swepson, "or walking around when we're out there stretching, when he comes and shakes my hand and says things to me."
Pinkham came down to the field from his customary perch in the coaching box and served as acting head coach. On the sideline, wearing headphones and sunglasses, he said he thought of Swepson often Saturday.
"A lot. A lot," Pinkham said. "I was trying to think of what would Jason do, 'WWJD.'
"He has a poise. He has a calmness with the kids. I would have to fight myself sometimes, because I'll get a little bit loud."
Swepson, a 42-year-old married father of three, in his second season at Elon, experienced chest pains in the predawn hours of Friday morning and was taken to a Raleigh hospital, where he remained Saturday for testing.
Elon athletics director Dave Blank picked up a call from Swepson before 6 a.m. Friday. A few hours later, Blank delivered the stunning developments to Pinkham and Pincince and the rest of Elon's coaching staff.
Then, in the afternoon, it was time to reveal the news to the Phoenix players.
Some reacted with silence. Others' mouths fell agape.
"It was, 'Whoa,' " Pinkham said.
"Guys were shocked," Mellette said. "Didn't anybody know about it. Everybody was just acting like we usually do, waiting for him to walk in. And then you see Coach Blank. The first thing I'm thinking, 'Who's in trouble?'
And after the news started to settle in?
"Then I was thinking he's got that Urban Meyer thing going on," Mellette said, referencing the Ohio State coach — like Swepson, seemingly healthy for his age — who has dealt with health problems.
Pinkham's pre-game address centered on mental toughness, always one of his pet talking points, and Spain said Elon (2-1) took extra pride in delivering against West Virginia State (1-2).
"We just went out there and did it for Swep," Spain said. "We were worried about him and everything. So we kind of played this game for him and made sure that we got a 'W.' "
Thomas Wilson threw four touchdown passes in the first half, Mellette (nine catches, 129 yards, two touchdowns before halftime) broke out from a slow start to the season and the Phoenix met little resistance in its final non-league game before entering Southern Conference play.
Elon got on the scoreboard when Rasaun Rorie shed West Virginia State's Jabril Pearsons with a stiff arm to reach the end zone on a 17-yard pass play.
After Karl Bostick burst 43 yards for a score and Mellette elevated above the Yellow Jackets' Romell Haley for a grab in the corner of the end zone, Wilson hit tight end Chris Harris from 17 yards out for a 28-0 Elon lead midway through the second quarter.
The Phoenix, up 35-0, appeared headed for a fairly spotless for first half until West Virginia State's LeFloyd Phillips ripped off a 70-yard touchdown run with 41.2 seconds left in the second quarter.
The second half was a formality. Elon led 48-7 in the fourth quarter on backup quarterback Mike Quinn's 3-yard scoring pass to Ricky Brown and finished with 571 yards of total offense, including 301 rushing yards.
"We executed on offense really well. I was very pleased with that," Wilson said. "We had a wide-variety game plan, a wide variety of different plays and formations and personnel groupings and schemes, and we executed on just about everything."
-- EXTRA POINTS …: Elon piled up its most rushing yards since November 2002. Freshman Thuc Phan, a walk-on generously listed at 5-foot-6, ran for 110 yards in the second half. … Mellette became the third player in Elon history with 3,000 career receiving yards. … Wilson tied a career best with four touchdown passes and threw for 261 yards to become the fourth Elon quarterback with 4,000 career passing yards. … Harris, a senior, scored the first touchdown of his career on the second catch of his career. … Pinkham downplayed his role as acting head coach. "We kind of were a three-headed group," he said, referring to Elon's coordinators. "So I really didn't have all that much pressure on me." … And apparently Pinkham also undersold his pre-game message. "I don't know if he knew he gave a great pre-game speech, but he did give a great pre-game speech," Spain said. "He talked about mental toughness for a little bit, but he got hyped."

Comments about Geax Roadster Tire:
This product is used on an old hard tail mountain bike converted to a rigid fork for commuting, street, and light trail usage.
The tire rolls surprisingly fast for its width and is very smooth. Handles gravel paths and dirt roads very well despite lack of tread. Does get squirrly in mud and sand but has enough flotation that its better than your standard 32c road bike tire.
Have had these for at least two years with zero flats and very little wear shown, despite substantial mileage and even some trainer use.
Would highly recommend. The logo on the side is ugly, but for the price of the tire its hard to beat. The tires are heavy, but for their use its doubtful you'd notice that.

How To Use JOTM as the XA Transaction Manager in Jetty
These instructions have been tested with JOTM 2.0.10.
Step 1: Copy the jars
Assuming you have successfully downloaded JOTM, copy the following jars to jetty's
lib/ext directory:
- connector-1_5.jar
- howl.jar
- jotm.jar
- jotm_jrmp_stubs.jar
- jta-spec1_0_1.jar
- jts1_0.jar
- ow_carol.jar
- xapool.jar Step 2: Configure CAROL
In your jetty installation, create the file
resources/carol.properties and edit its contents to contain these lines:
carol.start.ns=false carol.start.jndi=false carol.protocols=jrmp carol.start.rmi=false carol.jvm.rmi.local.call=true carol.jndi.java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.mortbay.naming
Without this step, CAROL will assume control of JNDI from jetty and
java:comp/env will not be set up correctly.
Step 3: Configure the transaction manager and datasources
You need to register an XA transaction manager and XA aware DataSources. There is more information about jetty's JNDI facilities that you may find useful. Here are the snippets for your jetty config file, typically
etc/jetty.xml. In this example, we will configure a Derby JDBC driver, but of course you can substitute your own.
At this point, you have JOTM acting as the transaction manager. Now, you can define XA-aware DataSources. If you want them defined globally for all webapps within your jetty installation, you can put them inside
etc/jetty.xml. Here's one example:
Now you can hookup a
resource-ref entry for
jdbc/mydatasource and then you'll be able to do lookups in your webapp of
If instead you want to make DataSources that are restricted in scope to only a particular webapp, then you need to put the declaration in a context deployment file (ie a .xml file in $JETTY-HOME/contexts) or in a
WEB-INF/jetty-env.xml file, and you need to ensure that the org.mortbay.jetty.plus.naming.Resource declaration for the StandardXAPoolDataSource is scoped to the webapp by including as the first argument a reference to the webapp. Here's an example from a xml context deployment file:
NOTE in the example above, that the first org.mortbay.jetty.plus.naming.Resource is actually declared to be in Server scope, by the absence of a webapp reference as the first argument. It is the second org.mortbay.jetty.plus.naming.Resource (ie the one that you will lookup in your code) that uses the reference to the webapp. Ideally, both would be webapp-specific, but JOTMs internal implementation of StandardXAPoolDataSource requires being able to lookup the StandardXADataSource by absolute name, and thus it is easiest to declare that in the Server scope.
For more information on scoping of JNDI entries, see the JNDI page. Also see the Atomikos page for information on an alternative XA manager that is a lot easier to configure.

|Vinny Lecavalier Visits the New All Children's Hospital
Tampa Bay Lightning center Vinny Lecavalier visited patients and families in the Vincent Lecavalier Pediatric Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at All Children's Hospital on Wednesday, February 24. It was his first visit to the new facility since patients moved in last month.
"The last time I was here we were wearing hard hats," said Lecavalier. "Today there are lots of kids. It's nice to see all the smiling faces."
The center occupies half of the seventh floor of the new hospital and includes 28 individual patient rooms. It was named in Lecavalier's honor thanks to his generous $3-million dollar commitment to the construction of this state-of-the-art facility.

The Joy of Sailing
Sailing is the ultimate freedom, the experience of being at one with nature and the sea, powered only by the wind and one's imagination. Why is sailing so appealing to so many people? Perhaps because it's one of the few "life sports" that offers both a relaxing escape as well as an invigorating challenge. You pick your level of comfort and excitement. Or maybe it's because sailing is never the same twice - each time on the water is a unique adventure that can enrich friendships, strengthen family ties, and refresh one's own sense of well-being. How many other outdoor activities can be shared with three or even four family generations? It is said there are two types of sailors in the world - the young and the young-at-heart.
What a Difference a J Makes
Fulfilling those sailing dreams starts with finding the right boat that fits you - whether you aspire to day-sail close to home, cruise to distant shores, or take up the challenge of competitive sailing. Performance differences between sailboats are greater than differences between golf clubs, tennis rackets, skis or cars. There aren't many wooden or metal tennis rackets, skis or golf clubs in use anymore. That's because newer designs that perform better and are easier to use are MORE FUN! A well designed sailboat, like a good sports car, is an extension of its owner. It could take years of sailing other boats to learn the difference that good design and quality make to one's sailing enjoyment. Or you can save time and take advantage of what we've learned and designed into every "J." We invite you to explore our site to learn more!

Quick question....
why...of all the countries in the world, are india and singapore getting it first. Pretty sure the UK should be one of the first to get the update......

I think the update should roll world wide at the same time, this is just ridiculous.
Now people manually update their devices with unofficial firmware and get problems and blame Nokia, their own fault if you ask me.
Anyway, I don't think any one should be priviliged to get the update any sooner than anyone else.
Anyway, the Nokia site in my country says 11500 is the newest update, however I have 11501 ?_?
Where can I get more information on when it will be available in my country?
08-03-2012 13:34
when can we get this update in HK?
08-03-2012 13:47 - edited 08-03-2012 13:52
Not the best way to put it I'll admit, but I think he's just implying that the UK was possibly the biggest customer group from the initial launch. So its irritating for us to have to wait longer than anyone else for this much needed firmware fix, since we have put up with the quite frankly shocking bugs for longer than anyone else.
I agree to the point that no one should be privileged to get the firmware... But it seems that we are missing the Logic here... It seems to be the correct move by Nokia to launch it in India and Singapore first... Now before you say "**bleep**", Let me explain WHY...
1. Firmwares are developed "Unbranded" and then tweaked to include the operator branding before getting released to the general public of that country... So, when someone says - UK Should have been the first -- You are implying that Nokia having developed the firmware fix, should keep it sitting IDLE (while the reputation gets tarnished day by day), up untill all the branding thing is added and then release it simultaneously...
2. India does not have any Operator Branding Non-Sense. All the Device manufacturers have to release it unlocked, if they wish to enter a potentially growing market with billions of ppl. Remember, India received iPhone approximately 2 years later than the release, just coz Apple was reluctant to sell unlocked device officially.
So, to me it makes sense, to release the new firmware to NON-BRANDING countries and analyze the initial impressions while they prepare it for Specific countries....
Hope it all makes sense.... This may not be the actual strategy, but definitely the best approach possible IMO.... Cheers !!!

Iphone3Gs and iphone4 both have far better battery life than Lumia800. Even my HTC Desire HD with bigger screen has longer standby time. Look forward to have this firmware to see whether there is any improvement, or stop using any Windows phone since uncertainty of future OS upgrade and current half-baked OS.

Quick answer: because if something goes wrong with this update only indians and singapourians will cry. It is typical software/update release route - always start with beta markets before rolling to main

Hi all!
Good news! We have brought forward the software update schedule for our Nokia Lumia 800, and have begun rolling out the latest update 1600.2487.8107.12070 to India and Singapore. This update will gradually be available for more markets in the coming weeks and we will keep you informed via our support pages as well as via a similar announcement here on Nokia Discussions Forum, once we add additonal markets to the roll out.
As this is not a mandatory software update, not every country or network carrier will make it available to their customers. However, all features and enhancements will be included in subsequent software updates. If you have questions if 1600.2487.8107.12070 will be available for you, please check with your local network carrier.
The new Lumia 800 update brings the following enhancements:
• Enhanced battery standby and talk time performance
• Battery capacity icon instead of question mark on top right of screen
• Improved bass in audio performance
• Soft-key illumination at all brightness levels
• Fixes for device performance issues including self-reboots, freezes and call-ending
As soon as the update is available for you, your phone will display a notification on your Homescreen or you can check for available updates manually by going to Settings > phone update. To update your phone, please follow those 4 steps:
1. Install the Zune software (Windows) or Windows Phone 7 Connector (Mac OS) on your computer. You'll need this software to download the phone update.
2. Connect your phone to your computer, using the USB cable that came with your phone.
3. If the Zune software or Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac doesn't start automatically when you connect your phone, start it manually.
4. In the Zune software, click Update Now (in Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac, click Install Updates). Make sure you keep your phone connected to your computer until you see a notification that the update is complete.
Best regards,
Yvonne from Nokia Care
When are you going to sort the Blue Tooth problem and allow WiFi tethering? My sim card is going to get worn out everytime I need to swap with my old phone to enable tethering

It's really incredible that the firmware update release can take so long (some site talks about SIX WEEKS) since it solve serious problems like "self-reboots", "freezes" and "call-ending", not to mention the audio quality problem. It's true that branded firmwares take much more time for personalization issues, but it's also true that UNBRANDED version of the Lumia800 exist.
It's quite obvious that Lumia 800 was released on the market too soon to hit the Christmas target, now that there's a solution for all these problems why we have to wait WEEKS to get it?
08-03-2012 19:09
Nokia UK held a Q&A session yesterday and one of the top questions was about the availability of the update in the UK. Here's a direct quote from their Facebook page
3. Is there another update for the Lumia 800 on the way?
We have just started the rollout of a new update and we will share details about the content & availability over the next few days right here on our Facebook page and in the Nokia Support Discussions http://nokia.ly/ytuSlh. Furthermore, make sure you have set up your device to inform you when an update is available: Settings > Phone Update and make sure both boxes are checked.
You can see it for yourself Here

You would think those on here that have openly had issues or called the helpdesk should be sent out the updates (they can send to accounts if they want).
UK user: Nokia told me it would be here in 2 weeks, due to licensing rules being different here.. (as has been said here, all to do with branding), again nokia could roll out to al imsi numbers that are NOT Branded phones.
I think personally that those who have issues, will find that this update will not sort the problem, due to the handsets being faulty. Faults: from bad batteries thru to faulty receivers in the handsets.
08-03-2012 22:40
Sometimes Nokia can't win, they rush something and people complain because it's not 'perfect' a six week 'delay' and it's a disaster !! Really think the SW and product releases on all the OS's used by Nokia has been excellent and punctual for the last year or so, and as soon as all the carriers approve the update, it'll be out, moaning and complaining will neither speed it up or slow it down, other phone users have issues, over half the Android world are waiting for ICS !!
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :
you can also help others by marking 'accept as solution'

My first programming language in school was C. Then I learnt C++ and Java and got stuck with Java for 2 yrs. I was so addicted to java and OOP at first. I started making Java applications and became fully thorough in OOP.
Now I would like to learn different languages. My mind is full of C style syntax. Sometimes in my dreams, I see camelCase words and paranthesis and braces and dots. Even JavaScript uses C like syntax.
I want to get adapt to different languages so that I won't find difficulty when I get a job that requires me to program in different syntax and different paradigm..
I do not know what functional, logical, hybrid paradigms mean. So I am asking here. Suggest me a different language (and some good book on it if possible) to learn..

Coinciding with the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Southern Spaces and the University of Texas Press announce a collaborative publishing project.
"No Place To Be Displaced: Katrina Response and the Deep South's Political Economy" by Prof. Lynn Weber of the University of South Carolina, just published by Southern Spaces, is the first in a series of essays to be adapted for online presentation from the University of Texas Press new Katrina Bookshelf Series. The book series is edited by Prof. Kai Erikson, former president of the American Sociological Association.
Below is a description of the series from the University of Texas Press:
In 2005 Hurricane Katrina crashed into the Gulf Coast and precipitated the flooding of New Orleans. It was a towering catastrophe by any standard. Some 1,800 persons were killed outright. More than a million people were forced to relocate, many for the remainder of their lives. A city of 500,000 was nearly emptied of life.
If measured by the number of lives it claimed, Katrina does not qualify as the worst disaster in our history. But it was far and away the most destructive disaster in our national experience when one considers the amount of damage it did not only to the physical and social landscapes of the Gulf region but also to the nation more generally. And it was far and away the most telling disaster in our national experience. Katrina stripped away the outer surface of our social structure and showed us what lies underneath—a grim look at race, class, and gender in these United States.
It is crucial to get this story straight so that we may learn from it and be ready for that stark inevitability, the next time. When seen through a social science lens, Katrina is almost the perfect storm in terms of informing us what the real human costs of a disaster are and helping prepare us for the blows that we know are lurking just over the horizon.
A number of studies of Katrina have appeared since the event. Most were brief glances at some fragment of that immense disaster rather than rich, in-depth portraits of it, and many rode the crest of Katrina's celebrity for the time it was in the news. The Katrina Bookshelf Series, by contrast, is the result of a national effort to bring experts together in a collaborative program of research on the human costs of the disaster. The program itself was supported by the Ford, Gates, MacArthur, Rockefeller, and Russell Sage Foundations, and sponsored by the Social Science Research Council. This is the most comprehensive social science coverage of a disaster to be found anywhere in the literature. It is also a deeply human story being told here.
The Bulletin compiles news from in and around the US South. We hope these posts will provide space for lively discussion and debate regarding issues of importance to those living in and intellectually engaging with the US South.
- South Carolina Electric and Gas (SCE&G) and the Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation reached a settlement on August 20 requiring SCE&G to remove 240,000 tons of toxic coal ash from wet-storage impoundments near the Wateree River. The company must move the coal ash into lined landfill storage away from the river or have it recycled by December 31, 2020. The legal victory, secured with help from the Southern Environmental Law Center, is a major step forward in the protection of the river system, and could set a precedent for the handling of other dangerous coal ash-storage facilities in the state.
- As we have reported in The Bulletin before, this summer's record-setting drought has wreaked havoc on farmers and ranchers across a broad swath of the United States. On Monday the United States Department of Agriculture announced that it would buy $170 million of pork, lamb, chicken, and catfish for federal food nutrition assistance programs, including food banks and school lunch and breakfast programs. This announcment is welcome news for farmers and ranchers across the affected area whose livlihoods are seriously endangered by the dry weather. While the Midwest has been hit hardest by this year's drought, farmers and ranchers in the US South (like the catfish farmer interviewed here) have also had to deal with rising feed costs and dry fields.
- According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) there have been 693 cases (26 deaths) of the West Nile virus disease in humans in 43 states so far this year. This number represents the highest total in late August since the CDC started tracking the disease in 1999. Over 80 percent of the cases have been reported from six states (Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and California) and almost half of all cases have been reported from Texas (as illustrated in this map). The severity of the outbreak in and around Dallas, Texas has prompted the city to declare a state of emergency and deploy pesticides across the metro region via aircraft for the first time since 1966, much to the chagrin of many residents worried about the potentially hazardous side effects of the chemicals.

- In a July 31 primary election, Georgians voted down T-SPLOST (Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax), a penny sales-tax proposal which would have provided for various transportation projects across the state. For the first time in history, voters in the ten-county region surrounding Atlanta were asked to vote on taxes funding projects throughout the metro area. While the regional referrendum failed (62.3% to 37.7%), a closer look at a map of the voting data suggests that most Atlantans living inside the I-285 perimeter voted in favor of the bill, with residents of the city of Atlanta voting in favor of the bill 60% to 40%. The outcome of this ballot initiative has left some observers wondering if "Metro-Atlanta" even exists and whether or not Atlanta residents should seek to enact transportation changes without the help of the surrounding region in the future.
- On August 7, seven-hundred members of the United Steelworkers Local 5668 who work for the Constellium rolled aluminum plant in Ravenswood, West Virginia went on strike. The workers voted to strike after failing to reach an agreement with the company on a new collective bargaining contract. Specifically, the workers are unwilling to accept the reduction of health care benefits proposed by the company. The importance of the plant to the economic vitality of the town, and the importance of healthcare benefits to its workers recalls a similar relationship in nearby east Kentucky documented by photographer Earl Dotter in his 2008 Southern Spaces photo essay "Coalfield Generations: Health, Mining, and the Environment."

From the beginning of Southern Spaces in 2004, we've understood this journal as participating in critical regional studies. Southern Spaces publishes work that represents and analyzes many souths and southern regions, offers critical scrutiny of any monolithic "South," interrogates historical developments and geographies over time, and maps expressive cultural forms associated with place. Perhaps our blog can serve as a site which takes notice of work in critical regionalism, wherever we find it. In the following excerpt from Main Street and Empire (Rutgers, 2012), a study of how the historical imaginary of the US small town contributes to the ideology of American empire, author Ryan Poll offers a quick overview of the term:
At the conclusion of his canonical essay, "The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism," Fredric Jameson articulates what remains one of the most pressing challenges to aesthetic producers and critics: to develop texts that can help subjects understand and narrate how their everyday, local lives and spaces are dialectically bound to and enabled by global relations. Similarly the geography theorist and scholar Doreen Massey emphasizes the need to develop a "global sense of place." This project of thinking about the complex imbrications between the local and the global is one of the more productive developments in literary and cultural studies. In his 2001 article "Glocal Knowledges," the comparative literature scholar Robert Eric Livingston writes, "To grasp the scenarios of globalization requires resisting the impulse to set global and local into immediate opposition. Their intertwining may be made more helpfully understood [by means of the neologism 'glocal,' a concept that] . . . has the advantage not only of making visible the mutual articulation of our two spatial coordinates, but also of insisting, neologically, on the need for a more careful rereading of the means of articulation." One of the most exciting interdisciplinary means for thinking about the relation between the local and the global is "critical regionalism." The term, coined in the field of architecture in the early 1980s, challenges the dominant "fictions of globalization" (such as the global village) and instead uses local and regional sources to produce new narratives and geographic imaginaries by which to historicize and specify globalization. By attending to the local and the regional, we can see globalization not as a singular imaginary or community, but as a nuanced, complex, contradictory, and historically material process that is narrated and imagined differently depending on an individual's—and a community's—spatial location and position. In her important study, Critical Regionalism and Cultural Studies (1996), the literary scholar Cheryl Temple Herr writes, "Critical-regionalist-cultural studies has great potential for producing a unified but highly adaptive analysis of international flows at the local-regional level, towards the end of a more heterogeneous and tolerant future." Edward Watts, a scholar of American thought and language, writes that critical regionalism offers students a rich and robust methodology for thinking about globalization. . . . "We might," Watts offers, "teach our students to consider a text's geographic placement as providing a nexus between the specificities of that setting and the larger issues at stake" (164).

In this short interview, historian Joseph Crespino discusses his new book, Strom Thurmond's America (New York: Hill and Wang, 2012), a political biography of South Carolina politician Strom Thurmond. Crespino explains how his book challenges the traditional view of Strom Thurmond's politics. He also argues that Thurmond became an "establishment Republican" in the 1980s, and his moderate stance would probably lead him to be run-out of the current Republican Party. Finally, Crespino addresses the controversial topic of Thurmond's African American daughter.

Thelma McWilliams Glass died on July 24, 2012 at age ninety-six. She was the last surviving member of the Women's Political Council (WPC), a group of African American women in Montgomery, Alabama, who helped organize the 1955–56 bus boycott. Glass taught geography at Alabama State University from the late 1940s until she retired in 1981.

Marine Life of California's Rocky Shores (Image 63)
June 29, 2010
Marine Life of California's Rocky Shores (Image 63) An assortment of nudibranchia--beauties of the sea and a true treasure for tidepool explorers to find. There are over 100 species of nudibranchia in California, and each has its own unique and interesting story. Many are brightly colored, but some blend into their surroundings or match their prey (upon which they may live). These are such beautiful creatures--it is hard to imagine that some animals find them toxic. This is just one of the thousands of species of "tidepool treasures"--marine plants and animals found in the small bodies of water left by the ebbing tide that fill the rock basins and depressions along California's rocky shores. To learn more, see "More about this Series," below. [Image 63 in a series. See Image 64.] More about this Series This series of images examines the various marine life that can be found in the different sea levels, or zones, of the rocky shores of the California coast. The images were photographed by Genevieve (Genny) Anderson of the Biological Sciences Department, Santa Barbara City College, as part of her ongoing research on the subject. Rocky shores provide a stable substrate for plant and animal life or organisms, as opposed to sandy beaches where the substrate (sand) is constantly moving. When the tide goes out then the influences of the air and weather (sun, rain, snow) begin to play important roles--more with the higher zones. At any tide level on a rocky shore, a pool of water--called tidepools--can be left with the receding tide. These pools provide welcome ocean water for marine life left high and dry with a receding tide. The pools highest in the intertidal may become very hot due to the sun which may not be comfortable for some species. The pools closest to the low tide have the least influence from the air and weather and thus the greatest variety of marine life. These tidepools often mirror what is actually subtidal (below the lowest low tide, as opposed to intertidal which is between the tides). As the water goes down, most of the ocean creatures go out with it, but some can't move and are left on rocks. These creatures must be adapted to withstand not only the dryness of their area, but waves, storms, wind and rain. It is their ability to withstand dryness, and their interactions with each other (eating, being eaten, competing for space, and reproducing) that determine who dominates within the rocky intertidal areas. In examining the marine life of the exposed rocky surfaces of California's shores, it is easiest to look at these rocky surfaces where they live in "zones." Above five feet, the surface is covered only by the highest high tide and thus dry three-quarters of the day. This is called the "Splash" Zone. Then, between five feet and two and a half feet, the surface is covered alternately by both high tides so it is dry between the high tides--about half a day. This band is called the "High Tide" Zone. Between sea level and two and a half feet the rocks are only left dry at the low, low tide. This area is thus dry only a quarter of each average day and called the "Mid Tide" Zone. Then there is what we call the "Low Tide" Zone, the area below sea level that is exposed for only a few hours every few weeks at special "minus" tides (remember, zero sea level is the average of the low, low tides). To learn more about Genevieve (Genny) Anderson's research on marine life along California's rocky shores, visit her Web page, "California Tidepools (Rocky Shores)." Anderson, who has been a teacher of Marine Biology and Biological Oceanography at Santa Barbara City College for over thirty years, has other interesting lesson plans and lecture material available on her Web site, Here.

This page is dedicated to the new Design of the MetaClass.
General Problem
It seems that we need 2 parts for MetaClass, one for the implementation and one for the user to customize the behavior. The reason for this is, that the customization is done by subclassing the implementation part. This means it is impossible to stay in the specification part (classes from groovy.*) to do a all day thing. Additionally the method signatures must be fixed to not to break code.
Current Behavior
Currently we do something like:
class MyMetaClass extends MetaClassXY { public Object invokeMethod(Object o, String name, Object[] args) { preProcessing(); super.invokeMethod(o, name,args); postProcessing(); } }
- preProcessing might change the arguments, name or call object, or might just do some logging.
- postProcessing might evaluate the return value of the method call, call additional methods, or just do logging
- every part here might end the invokeMethod method, that means super.invokeMethod might not be called
This is very flexible, it allows interception and logging as well as transformation at the same time.
Basic Design
If we want to separate the two cases (runtime MetaClass, user defined MetaClass) in two classes, then one must call the other. As the user part should stay in the specification, it can't know the exact class of the runtime, or which method to call there. This means the user part must be called from the MetaClass in the runtime. Since we are not able to call "super" then we need an additonal Object, that we make the call on:
Call Chain
class MyMetaClass extends MetaClassXY { public Object invokeMethod(Object o, String name, Object[] args, CallChain chain) { preProcessing(); chain.invoke(o, name,args); postProcessing() ; } } interface CallChain { Object invoke(Object base, String name, Object[] args) } class RuntimeMetaClass { ... Object invokeMethod(Object base, String name, Object[] args, ....) { process(args) MetaClass mc = getMetaClass() if (mc!=null) { return mv.invokeMethod(base,name,args, new CallChain() { Object invoke(Object base, String name, Object[] args) { return doRealInvoke(base,name,args...) } } } else { return doRealInvoke(base,name,args...) } } ... }
That's a bit like the continuation passing style.
- A custom MetaClass results in creating a ChainCall object each time an method of that class is invoked.
- The old behavior can be preserved and guranteed
Multiple Behaviors controlled by Class
If we want to split the behavior, then we could have an interface for each of the cases
interface MetaClassInterceptor { // thorws MissingMethodException if no interception is done, which results in normal method invocation Object invokeMethod(Object base, String name, Object[] args); } interface MetaClassLogger { // throws never MissingMethodException and does not change the arguments void invokeMethodEntry(Object base, String name, Object[] args); void invokeMethodExit(Object base, String name, Object[] args); } interface MetaClassTransformer { // basically the same as above Object invokeMethod(Object base, String name, Object[] args, CallChain chain); } class RuntimeMetaClass { ... Object invokeMethod(Object base, String name, Object[] args, ....) { process(args) MetaClass mc = getMetaClass() if (mc!=null) { Object result = null; MetaClassLogger logger=null MetaClassInterceptor interceptor=null MetaClassTransformer transformer=null if (mc instanceof MetaClassLogger) logger = (MetaClassLogger ) mc if (mc instanceof MetaClassInterceptor) interceptor = (MetaClassInterceptor) mc if (mc instanceof MetaClassTransformer ) interceptor = (MetaClassTransformer ) mc try { if (logger!=null) logger.invokeMethodEntry(base,name,args) if (transformer!=null) { transformer.invokeMethod(base,name,args, new CallChain() { Object invoke(Object base, String name, Object[] args) { return invokeWithInterceptor(interceptor, base,name,args...) }) } else if (interceptor!=null) { return invokeWithInterceptor(interceptor, base,name,args...) } } finally { if (logger!=null) logger.invokeMethodExit(base,name,args) } } else { return doRealInvoke(base,name,args...) } } ... }
Maybe it is a bit overkill, since a transformer can act as interceptor, but a logger is surely more lightweight than a interceptor or transformer.
- the common case still requires a ChainCall object each time an method of that class is invoked
- the logging case does not influence the invokation so much
General Disadvantage
The general disadvantage of the seperation is that we need to associate the custom MetaClass and the runtime MetaClass. Again I see two ways:
- let the runtime get the custom MetaClass:
class RuntimeMetaClass { Class theClass; MetaClass getMetaClass() { return registry.getMetaClass(theClass) } ... }
A null entry in the registry would then mean, that no custom MetaClass is set, in case of GroovyObject, the logic must be changed a little because null here means just no per instance MetaClass. As there is only one runtime MetaClass and several behaviors this means that it is not possible to do
or something alike. Again we could add an interface and make the runtime MetaClass ask the custom MetaClass or to provide an additional set of Properties and Methods at initialization, but then we get another set of interfaces and the runtime MetaClass msut keep track of the changes in case a new custom MetaClass is set.
- let the runtime assign the runtime MetaClass to the custom MetaClass:
class MyCustomMetaClass extends MetaClass { MyCustomMetaClass(MetaClass rmc, MetaClassRegistry mcr){ super(rmc,mcr) } ... } interface MetaClass { MetaClass getChainedMetaClass() List getProperties() ... } class MetaClass { ... List getProperties(){return runtimeMetaClass.getProperties()} MetaClass getInnerMetaClass() {return runtimeMetaClass} }
So this works much like our ProxyMetaClass. The behavior is much like the old MetaClass, just the signature of invokeMethod for example changes from (Object,String,Object[]) to (Object,String,Object[],ChainCall). It is then no longer possible to invoke a method using invokeMethod directly, it is then only for internal use. Which is no problem, as long as we keep an alternative way for Java as we currently have with InvokerHelper. Multiple chained MetaClasses are also possible this way, the implementation must just keep that in mind and iterate through all of them when making a call. This again is very unlike the ProxyMetaClass we currently have. I would strongly suggest to make MetaClass no interface then and to remove ProxyMetaClass, because the MetaClass then fulfills already the requirements of ProxyMetaClass. Another solution would be to not to let it act as proxy, but to require an additional method:
class MetaClass { QueryableMetaClass getQueryableMetaClass() { MetaClass mc = this while (!(mc instanceof QueryableMetaClass)){ mc = mc.getChainedMetaClass() } return mc; } ... }
Where getChainedMetaClass behaves like above, meaning, it returns the next MetaClass, the last MetaClass is then the runtime implementation. This version means the usage is
instead of the old
but it means also, that we can keep the MetaClass interface/class very clean and don't need to add other methods but the methods required for chaining, which we could even make final. Any additional behavior is then controlled by the interfaces I have shown above. This way we could make an MetaClass that intercepts methods, but not properties or fields. Or a version that does logging only on Properties, but does not interfere with normal method invocation. I am aware that this means to have many interface.. 9 then (Interceptor + Transformer + Logger for each of Property, Field and Method) or 6 (if Transformer and Interceptor are unified)
- The custom behavior is unable to tell the difference between a call to super, a call from inside the class, or a normal call from a context outside (could be solved with additional different interfaces)
General Advantage
- implementation and custom behavior are separated
- we can split the runtime MetaClass in a mutable and immutable part and reconstruct the immutable part on demand
- custom MetaClasses becomes more lightweight, since no full initialization step is required for each custom MetaClass and the heavy part can be shared by multiple custom MetaClasses
More efficient custom MetaClasses
Additionally to the traditional Design we could also have a new Design, where we don't take part in the CallChain, but produce a MetaMethod (or property).
interface MetaClass2 { MetaMethod getMetaMethod(Object base, String name, Object[] args) } class MyMetaClass extends MetaClass implements MetaClass2 { MetaMethod getMetaMethod(Object base, String name, Object[] args) { if (name.equals("foo")) return myFooMetaMethod() return null } }
which means this method is called in case of a cache miss, and not every time. Returning a MetaMethod we can control if we would like to add the method to the cache or not through the isCachable() method on MetaMethod. We could also change the interface a little and force the call to getMetaMethod even if there is no cache miss. The advantage is, we can still intercept methods, but in a more efficient way, because we don't need to throw a MissingMethodException. And we can use the cache directly if we do not force method selection through this clsss each time, which makes it very fast.
So my proposal is to chain the MetaClasses as shown above, to have a more or less empty MetaClass class which does only the chaining and to have interfaces controlling all aspects of the method invocation (or for properties/fields) like I have shown with logger and transformer or MetaClass2. Having metaClass.queryableMetaClass.getProperties() means to have less methods on MetaClass and since these MetaClasses do normally not add real methods. It would make sense to do so, but metaClass.getProperties() is not really a problem.
- Instead of chaining the MetaClasses like above, we could also have a central MetaClass and just add behavior using interface like the ones I shown (transformer, interceptor...). This would mean to change GroovyObject, because get/setMetaClass becomes meaningless then. If we use a proxy like mechanism, then we end in something that looks almost as the one above, but even more complicated.
- I tried to find a way to keep the call to super, but I was unable to find out how wihtout using a ThreadLocal workaround, which I would like to avoid.

These retro cateyes are purrfect
By Ms. Thirteen
from San Diego, Ca
My third purchase from Coastal. These are great. I was shocked to see how dark the tinting is. I am extremely pleased with this. These frames plus dark tint give a super retro feel. These are a bit out of my comfort zone. I am more used to a huge oversized Jackie O style in sunglasses but I decided to switch it up. I am thinking of getting these in my regular rx now :) Purrfect Cateye frames

Loves these!
By Anna
from Sacramento, CA
About Me Practical, Stylish
I wear non-prescriptive sunglasses but would love, love, love to have these in a clear prescriptive form. Currently unavailable, but I am hoping they will be brought back! Also have another of Derek Cardigan's line and I wear them the most of the two pairs of glasses I own. I like the big lenses, that way I don't feel like my glasses' frames are crowding in my clear-vision field. Light weight and comfortable (for the most part - I don't wear glasses every waking moment, so after a few hours, my ears get a little tender, but this would happen regardless of the particular frames I wear. My ears just aren't seasoned to long and repetitive glasses-wearing.).

The Fox 36 Float features an air spring, which helps keep the weight very minimal. Strong 36mm stanchions that reduce fork flex. This light yet strong fork will steer you through the most technical downhill sections. The Float's 180mm of suspension will gobble up roots, ruts, and boulders in your way. When you are racing downhill, you need a fork that is just as strong as a competitor as you are.
The Fox Float has gone under the knife once again. The Float series now features less breakaway force as compared to the prior model year. Fox has also upgraded the Float series by giving it a longer negative spring and reduced the air spring compression ratio for a more linear feel.
To ensure that the suspension is buttery smooth, the stanchions have been Kashima coated. The Kashima coating is a hard anodizing process that fills in any micro pores in the material creating a smoother surface, in comparison to a hard anodization on prior versions. Its distinctive gold color is backed by its high performance attributes including extreme durability as well as an extremely smooth feel. The whole purpose and value of the Kashima coating is its friction reduction properties.
The FIT RC2 damper employs a bladder system that keeps the oil and air from mixing to provide optimal performance in all riding extremes. Since the FIT cartridge uses much less oil, the weight of the fork is significantly less than one with an open bath style. The lighter damper is also inverted in the fork which reduces unsprung weight.

Comments about Fox Racing Shox Fox 36 Float 180 RC2 Fit 26" Fork 2014:
I decided to replace the old fork on my Mojo HD (a 2012 Fox 36 Float 160mm with RC2 damper) with this fork. I wanted to get a slacker head angle and of course a little more travel as my riding style evolves to more aggressive jumps, drops, more speed, leaning harder in turns, etc.
This fork is fantastic. The spring is more linear than the 2012 version, so I'm getting ALL the travel out of this where I never really got into the final inch of travel on my old 160mm fork. So it's like I added 40mm of travel instead of 20mm.
The seals are nice and smooth, very little friction so it's a supple fork. I like to run my forks with a lot of compression damping and the adjustment range on the LSC and HSC is wide enough that I'm somewhere just past the middle on both. I'm just short of the middle on rebound damping. The RC2 damper gives plenty of range with lots of clicks for fine tuning things.
I'm 175 and running at the recommended 65 psi - works great.
The fork tracks straight, blasts through very rough stuff with ease, absorbs impacts and hard landings in a controlled way... I'm lovin' it!!!
One thing that wasn't obvious to me when I bought it - you need a 203mm rotor with this fork.

When I whine about being injured again, my chiropractor reminds me – active people get injured. It is better to be active and deal with a little ache than to sit on the couch all day. I also tell myself that an injury is my body's way of telling me that something is off or that it is time to lay off a certain method of training.
Listen to your body, follow its lead and with time and care, you'll be back in the game in just a few weeks.

Rumors have been circulating that The CW's Emily Owens, MD has been cancelled. It appears that they stem from a Vancouver set photographer, Susan Gittins, who tweeted, "Sad news today. Vancouver-shot #EmilyOwensMD cancelled. A charming show that got lost in Fall launch."
The CW PR folks quickly disputed the rumor and Gittens later recanted, writing "Apology for false report. Was told today by reliable source that #EmilyOwensMD cancelled. The CW says show still in production."
Unfortunately, Emily Owens, MD still looks destined to be cancelled. The new show has been getting terrible ratings and currently averages a 0.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.27 million total viewers. Aside from Friday's Nikita, it's the network's lowest-rated show in the demo.
What do you think? Do you like Emily Owens on The CW? Do you think that they'll keep making and airing new episodes?

Last night i had a very strange samadhi like expierience while sleeping. Its seems as if i was really aware of my breathing and everthing arround me in a semi sleep state. I felt a lott of energy around in my body just moving arround, i dont know if it was piti or something else. Also i think i had some kind of nonself expirience but i dont want to make any claims since it was all very fuzzy and confusing. It was nice but kind of strange and the duration of it made me freak out so i walk up and went to grave another blanket since i was cold and i was very concentrated(usually when i wake up my mind is wondering). This happend like for four hours till i decided to stay awake and finally when i felt a sleep again it was a normal sleep.
Also im having more lucid dreaming expiriences, and sleep paralisis. Even have a buddha alucination while in a sleep paralisis experience wich made me laugh afterwards( it makes me laugh to see where my mind decides to go in this states)
I was wondering how meditation has affected the sleep of fellow practicioners. Not seeking for advice since i dont give much importance to what happend but just to talk about this stuff.
