Proud Spell reasserted her position as the best 3-year-old filly in the land when she bettered Music Note in a stirring stretch drive to win the $600,000 Alabama Stakes (gr. I) by a head at Saratoga Aug. 16.

After getting the lead from Little Belle on the far turn, Proud Spell (center), ridden by Gabriel Saez, was tackled in the lane by Music Note on the outside. Music Note, with Javier Castellano aboard, appeared to have the momentum leaving the eighth pole, but Proud Spell fought back tenaciously, getting the edge in the final couple of strides in a gutty effort by both fillies.

Sent off as the second choice, Proud Spell paid $5.90 and $2.60. Music Note, who was originally being considered for the Travers (gr. I), finished second and returned $2.10. The $2 exacta paid $7.90. Little Belle finished third, 4 1/2 lengths behind, with Mushka and Sweet Vendetta far back in the small field.

Marc Keller's Grand Couturier had to check under Alan Garcia at the top of the lane, but re-rallied, split horses in mid-stretch, and drew clear to win the $500,000 Sword Dancer Invitational (gr. IT) (VIDEO) for the second consecutive year Aug. 16 at Saratoga.

SC State President optimistic after turbulence
ORANGEBURG, S.C. (AP) � Thomas Elzey knew he was facing a challenge when he became president of South Carolina State University a year ago. He didn't realize how big a challenge.
Elzey tells The Associated Press in an interview the Orangeburg school has had to deal with what he called "a perfect storm" of problems.
For years there was infighting among the administration and its board, and Elzey says the school never took steps to deal with drops in enrollment and government aid that came with the Great Recession.
He now sees things turning around. The college recently approved a balanced $80 million budget for the new academic year. The budget includes some staff cuts, a modest increase in tuition and requires employees to take a week's unpaid furlough.

Although the plot might sound like the stuff of a soap opera, a smart script, strong performances and an ideologically determined lack of filmmaking niceties result in a shattering, deeply felt work.
Dogme 95 at its best: open-ended and exciting, with a grand sense of experimentation.
Poignant, thoughtful and utterly absorbing, Susanne Bier's Dogme film Open Hearts is a gem.
The Dogme pedigree rarely distracts; there is too much emotional investment to care much about dogmatic fidelity.
While the characters lack the quirks and affectations that have enlivened the impulsive figures from past Dogme films, the passion of the players and Bier's sensitive direction give these utterly normal figures a vivid aliveness, along with dignity and everyday beauty.
Well-made film. Indeed, discovering such a small pleasure is the kind of experience that rewards film lovers who browse with open eyes as well as hearts.
Like the director, the cast seems to have burrowed into the material, made all the more wrenchingly realistic by Dogme precepts.
A very good new Dogme by Danish director Susanne Bier, begins with several lives in excellent working order, and proceeds by way of domestic tragedy to a full-court emotional train wreck.
Straightforward in form but surprisingly intricate.
On paper this may sound like soap opera, but Bier and screenwriter Anders Thomas Jensen (Mifune) have a good feel for character, and they're aided by a fine cast.
The gritty, low-budget realism approach of the Dogme manifesto gives immediacy and edge to the raw emotions Bier and her cast uncover. Best of all, Bier never forgets that a little humor can relieve an awful lot of pain.
An emotionally honest character piece that avoids moralizing or offering soggy excuses.
Bier knows what she's doing, and the performances are expert and affecting. But this meditation on love -- and love's bad timing -- is also improbably accommodating to its characters' respective longings.
Open Hearts, like all good melodramas, is ruthless in its insistence that people are dragged, uncomprehending, in the wake of events.
In the film's most audacious break with the ultra-realism of the Dogme program, Bier inserts grainy visualizations of what Cecilie wishes for at a given moment -- a caress from the paralyzed Joachim, or a wave goodbye -- directly into the action.
Though the plot's soap-opera turns become tidy and predictable, the film shows remarkable attunement and sympathy toward a group of characters whose lives intersect and unravel on a cruel twist of fate.
Until the end, when it begins to go soft, the movie takes two strands of soap opera convention -- a life-changing accident and an adulterous affair -- and spins their suds into gold.
Less Spartan than some films shot under the Dogma "vow of chastity" (there's actually a little music), but it's raw enough to complement the very real emotions on display.
And you thought Hamlet was a melancholy Dane. Compared with this gloomy group, he's Pee Wee Herman.

Jun 25, 2013Dogme movement (1995-2005) is a terra incognita for me, although now it has officially existed only as a terminology thanks to the ubiquitousDogme movement (1995-2005) is a terra incognita for me, although now it has officially existed only as a terminology thanks to the ubiquitous evasion of shooting on location with any cellphones or other handheld lighter gizmos, and its spirit has been ingested by more advanced mutants (e.g. mumblecore). But Susanne Bier is not merely a Dogme enthusiast, AFTER THE WEDDING (2006 7/10) is a redoubtable relationship dissection and OPEN HEARTS (the new Hannibal Mads Mikkelsen star in both films) treads the same territory to examine the complexity of humans' conundrum between desire and responsibility, ethics and emotions.
Two couples, one is engaged, another has 3 children, a car accident (not entirely abides by the Dogme rules though) turns their worlds upside down, a threat is common-or-garden both in the cinematic and real world; the life-changing mishap prompts an adultery between a middle class doctor and the disheartened fiancée, whose fiancé undergoes a permanent quadriplegia from the car accident where the doctor's wife is the offender.
The face-fixated close-ups extensively put those characters under scrutiny for their rational and irrational behaviors, natural light commingles with saturated palette (during the beginning and the ending) and a black & white lens of the blurry and grainy illusory fancy. The cast is sterling, a quartet of tug-of-war from Mikkelsen, Richter, Lie Kass and Steen, a humdrum-weary family man holds his seven-year-itch infatuation to a damsel-in-distress; a comfort-seeker with abiding guilt of abandoning her bed-ridden fiancé; a young paralyzer who ruthlessly deserts his fiancée for his incompetence as a proper man but still hankers for her company; a wife is rueful of her road rage and its tragic repercussions, suddenly devastated by her husband's utter betrayal; Steen's impromptu slapping and Mikkelsen's reaction are among the best on-screen intensified scenes I have even seen, three of the four leads end up in my yearly top 10 list (guess who narrowly missed the spot?).
But on the other hand, the melodramatic core of the story hobbles a soul-searching catharsis and empathetic introspection which would put the film onto an upper notch, Bier and DP Morten Søborg's camera is erratic but not dizzily shaky, the fly-on-the-wall intimacy allows us to take a much closer look at the symptoms and the cause of the frailty resides in every soul on earth, and offers us staying in a paralleled world, munches with palliative pills to ease our own troubles.… Full Review »

Unflattering fit for me

For curvy hips and no chest
The pattern and the back cut out on this dress are adorable; I was so disappointed that the dress didn't fit me. I have a long torso and fairly narrow hips. The smallest size was too tight in the chest to zip to the top, and huge around the hips. The silk material doesn't allow any stretch, and the dress is cut for a person with pretty curvy hips (and apparently no chest). Unfortunately, there was no way to make this dress work for me.

Adorable dress for summer
Adorable dress for summer. The top drapes nicely, counterbalancing the tight skirt without appearing overwhelming or too blousey on a petite girl. The arm holes are low and show a little bit of a bra under the armpits. I'll probably wear a white lace or hot pink bra without worrying if it shows when I move my arms away from my sides.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Fears for civilian safety have been rapidly rising in Iraq as fighting between state forces and armed opposition groups led by the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) spreads across the West Asian country. Reports suggest over half a million civilians have fled northern Iraq as news filtered in of ISIS capturing Mosul and Tikrit. With the ISIS reportedly advancing towards Baghdad, more displacement is expected. Among those most vulnerable are Indian migrant workers based across Iraq who went to the Gulf in search of a better future for themselves and their families back home.
Fears for Indian workers in Iraq started growing when news came of around 40 Indian construction workers having been taken hostage by armed groups. There are also concerns for 46 nurses stranded in Tikrit, which is now under the control of ISIS. While the Indian government says it knows where the abducted Indian workers are being held, and makes assurances of their safety, the families of these workers say they have not received enough helpful information.
Even though the Shia-majority regions of southern Iraq have not been affected by the conflict, there is fear in these parts as well. A group of Indian migrant workers Amnesty International India spoke to in the southern province of Najaf said they were scared of being caught up in the violence, but could not leave the country because their employer refused to give them their passports. They said they had not been paid in five months. In times of violence, not having money and travel documents at one's disposal can increase vulnerability manifold. The confiscation of passports is a reality for thousands of Indians who emigrate to the Gulf and are made to hand over their passports to their employers as soon as they arrive.
Studies have shown that a large number of Indians who emigrate to West Asia do so due to unemployment or poverty at home. Many of them come from impoverished backgrounds and take on large debts to be able to move abroad and support their families in some manner. It is also this lot that often falls prey to deception by some recruiting agents, which piles on more despair in their lives.
The Indian government has reacted quickly to the conflict in Iraq. It has been trying hard to reach out to Indians working in the country. The need of the hour is for the government to provide whatever assistance it can to Indian nationals in Iraq, including evacuating them if they want to leave. But there are also other lessons. While we can never predict how and when emergencies will erupt, more can be done to support Indian migrant workers when they reach the Gulf, and also before they leave India.
Despite the introduction of some pre-departure orientation programmes, Indian migrant workers are still at risk of being deceived and exploited by rogue recruiters in India. Indian migrant workers are known to arrive in Gulf countries without really knowing who their employer will be and where they will be working. If they are really unlucky, they can even be trafficked to end up as forced labourers.
Indian migrant workers in the Gulf are often unaware of what kind of support they can expect from the Indian government. There needs to be a better system of regulating recruiters in India, and of informing and training migrants about their rights and the risks they face so that they can be better protected abroad. The government must ensure Indian migrant workers are empowered, so that they are able to react more quickly and effectively in times of emergency, and reach out to the right authorities for help. Crucial to the welfare of migrant workers is a transparent and effective complaints mechanism through which they or their families can seek redress for rights abuses.
The events of the last few weeks also reiterate the need for a better system of registering Indian migrant workers in Gulf countries, so that the government is better able to track and assist them in times of trouble. This is particularly important because we know there is a history of Indian migrant workers being exploited and abused, and ending up working in a different place from what they had signed up for.
Migrant workers in the Gulf are not only major contributors to nation-building in the countries they work in, but also in India, where they send home crores of rupees every year in remittances. Yet, they continue to be a much neglected group. As hundreds of thousands of Indians continue to leave for the Gulf in search of a better future, India needs to do more to protect their rights in foreign lands.

National Park Mystery Spot 3 Revealed: It's "The High One"
National Park Mystery Spot 3 is the summit of Mount McKinley, the crowning peak of the Alaska Range and the landform centerpiece of Alaska's Denali National Park and Preserve. This enormous mountain, which is more massive than Mount Everest (and rises more steeply), is known to locals and climbers around the world as Denali, an Athabascan Indian name that means "High One" or "Great One."
And a very high and great one it is! Denali's South Summit, the highest of its two significant summits, tops out at 20,320 feet, (nearly 6,194 meters). That makes Denali the tallest mountain in North America.
These three clues were provided:
About 6,774 double-time military paces
25th in the series
One might stay there forever
The first two clues relate strictly to the mountain's name and elevation. Mount McKinley is named for Ohioan William McKinley, the 25th President of the United States (and thus, "25th in the series"). A double-time military pace is 36 inches (three feet), and 6,774 of those is 20,322 feet. Even if you took the regular 30-inch military pace -- or any kind of pace, for that matter -- you would have gotten a large enough number to be on the track of the answer.
The third clue relates to the many climbers who have died on Mount McKinley and whose remains are still on the mountain. There are dozens of them buried in the snow, lost in crevasses, or lodged in inaccessible places. There is even a body that was left on the South Summit with no immediate plans for retrieval. Yes indeed; if one visits Mount McKinley and runs out of luck, even if one has made it all the way to the top, "one might stay there forever."
Incidentally..... in the pre-Google age I would have included the clue "Leon Czolgosz" just for grinnies.

India, on Wednesday, voiced deep concern at the escalating crisis in Ukraine where pro-Russian separatists are locked in a violent stand-off with the Kiev government, and called for a political and diplomatic solution to the crisis.
India expresses 'sincere condolences to the people of Ukraine on the recent tragic loss of lives in Odessa', the external affairs ministry spokesperson said in a message.
More than 40 people, mostly pro-Russian activists, were killed Friday in a fire at a trade union building in the Black Sea port of Odessa. The activists had collected in the building after street clashes with pro-Kiev militants.
"India is deeply concerned at the escalating crisis in Ukraine that is marked by an increasing number of violent incidents. India once again urges all sides to abjure violence and seek a political and diplomatic solution that builds on recent agreements and takes into account the legitimate interests of all concerned," said the statement.
The two-month-old Kiev government has launched a military offensive to quell a pro-Russian insurgency in the east. Ukraine plans to hold presidential election May 25 which the Western powers view as crucial to restoring stability, but Russia has called it illegitimate.
Pro-Russian activists are controlling buildings in several cities in Ukraine. They are demanding more regional autonomy as well as greater ties or outright annexation by Russia.

The duo (Filip Nikolic and Jeffrey Paradise) also have a knack with covering songs, too. Last year we heard them cover Neil Young's "Haverest Moon." This time they're at it again with Spike's "Magic Table." Poolside's cover makes this 1983 song sound current and hip. It definitely fits in with their daytime disco theme.

Andersen has a history of helping out charities during his time in Denver and New Orleans, where he played from 2004-08. According to the Nuggets' media guide, Andersen raised money for Mount Saint Vincent, a home for troubled and abused children, and was honored at the home's 2009 Silver Bell Ball. He's also involved with Alliance for Choice in Education, which provides scholarships for low-income families to use in private schools.
His middle name is Claus, and he dressed up as Santa to raise money for ACE in 2009, according to his media guide bio. He also helped with hunger initiatives while with the Hornets.
With his colorful tattoos and high-flying, shot-blocking act, Andersen has long been a favorite with the fans in the Mile High City.
Andersen began his career in Denver in 2001, before bolting to New Orleans three seasons later. He had a breakout season with the Hornets in 2004-05, only to have his career derailed by drugs. He was kicked out of the NBA on Jan. 27, 2006, for violating the league's drug policy.
Following a ban that lasted more than two years, Andersen returned to New Orleans late in 2008, playing in five games and blocking four shots.
Andersen then rejoined Denver for the 2008-09 season, providing a spark off the bench and swatting 175 shots in the regular season. His play around the rim helped the Nuggets make a run to the Western Conference finals, where they fell to the Lakers in six games.
Andersen parlayed that big season into a five-year deal he signed with Denver in July 2009.

Heading To Logan Pass At Glacier National Park? Bring Some Water!
With work on the water tank at Logan Pass in Glacier National Park ongoing this summer, it wouldn't hurt for you to stash a case of bottled water or, better yet, a 5-gallon water jug along with some refillable water bottles, in your rig when you head to the pass this week.
The water system at Logan Pass will shut down late Tuesday afternoon at approximately 5 p.m. because the permanent water tank that provides drinking water on the pass needs to be rehabilitated and coated this summer and fall. During this time, two temporary tanks will be utilized to provide drinking water.
It is anticipated that a temporary system will be operating by the coming weekend. During this week, the park will provide a number of large water bottles in the Logan Pass parking area for you to fill your personal water bottles. Personal refillable water bottles are also available for purchase at the Logan Pass Visitor Center from the Glacier National Park Conservancy.
The public restroom facilities at Logan Pass will be operational.
Last week the temporary 5,000-gallon tanks were transported to Logan Pass via the Going-to-the-Sun Road, and then air-lifted to a location approximately one-half mile northwest of the visitor center. The rehab project on the permanent tank is anticipated to be completed this fall, and the temporary tanks will be removed at that time.
The main water tank that provides drinking water to Logan Pass was installed in 1964. The tank's interior and exterior surfaces need to be sandblasted and coated. The circular tank is approximately 8 feet high and 17 feet in diameter, and has a 13,600-gallon capacity. It is also located about one-half mile from the Logan Pass Visitor Center.
Or bring a filter, and bag some fresh glaciated runoff in your camelbak! Geez...our society is nuts.
Gary in the perfect world you would be right. However due to limited parking at Logan Pass everyone is encouraged to ride the shuttles or take a red bus tour. And there is no Glacier Run off at Logan Pass. You would need to stop in the valley to access the run off creeks to filter yourw water. Plus there are no stops for filtering on shuttles or tours.
Has the snow completely melted off Mt Clemente and Oberlin? I remember climbing up to the saddle between the two and then doing a class 3 route up Oberline, and there were quite a few small and beautiful running streams of fresh water coming off that mountain. Marmots feeding off small alpine wildflowers lived all around those small streams, and it was one of the most beautiful spots I think I ever saw....anywhere.

Wichita Treatment Center Offers New Video Explaining Services Available for Drug, Alcohol Addiction Recovery
Wichita treatment center offers programs to stop drug and alcohol dependency in its tracks. Call (855) 912-7867 for an appointment at Drug Addiction Treatment Centers.
Wichita, KS (PRWEB) November 11, 2013
A Wichita treatment center has announced that a new video highlighting new services and treatment plans has been launched for individuals in Wichita and surrounding towns.
Alcohol detoxification is a process by which a heavy drinker's system is brought back to normal after being used to having alcohol in the body on a continual basis. Serious alcohol addiction results in a decrease in production of GABA, a reuptake inhibitor, because alcohol acts to replace it. Precipitous withdrawal from long-term alcohol addiction without medical management can cause severe health problems and can be fatal. Alcohol detox is not a treatment for alcoholism. After detoxification, other treatments must be undergone to deal with the underlying addiction that caused the alcohol use.
Cocaine, heroin, Oxycontin and benzodiazepines are just a few of the drugs that the treatment center helps people put in their past. Alcoholism, a disease that destroys individuals as well as families, is addressed through the substance abuse treatment center's programs.
Drug detoxification is used to reduce or relieve withdrawal symptoms while helping the addicted individual adjust to living without drug use; drug detoxification is not meant to treat addiction but rather an early step in long-term treatment. Detoxification may be achieved drug free or may use medications as an aspect of treatment. Often drug detoxification and treatment will occur in a community program that lasts several months and takes place in a residential rather than medical center.
The program offers a collective style of treatment options for clients. Ultimately, its bottom line is to help all clients leave the addiction treatment center with a structure in place for life outside of it. People come into these types of centers looking either for a new life or relief from their pain, and counselors and therapists on staff are ready to help.
Drug detoxification varies depending on the location of treatment, but most detox centers provide treatment to avoid the symptoms of physical withdrawal to alcohol & other drugs. Most also incorporate counseling and therapy during detox to help with the consequences of withdrawal.
Once people leave the treatment center, outpatient care and support is strongly suggested by counselors. Transitioning back into the "real world" takes time, too, and outpatient treatment allows clients an opportunity to share their victories and struggles with like-minded people. When it's all put together, from detoxification to outpatient care, the substance abuse treatment center gives people a second chance.
For more information on the Wichita treatment center, visit http://drugsdetox.org or call (888) 444-9148.

'Night Out' unifies community
A Highland Springs church is trying to spearhead efforts to fight violence and crime within the community. Those efforts were on display Aug. 7, when about 75 residents of Highland Springs gathered at Broken Bread Ministries church for the neighborhood's fourth National Night Out, presenting a unified front.
Broken Bread Ministries is a small church with an enormous heart, led by Pastor Geneva Alston, who has been with the church and lived in Highland Springs since 1995. Her hope is that NNO will spread knowledge to the community that there are resources available for families in need in order to combat violence and better themselves.
Vendors, live music, food, games, mustang clubs, local law enforcement agencies and citizens of Highland Springs were all part of the effort to show support for community involvement and awareness.
"I have been involved with the NNO for four years," said Alston. "This is our community, we've bought our homes, established ministries and churches and schools and we want people to be comfortable living at home and not worrying about who's going to kick their door open or stick them up. I just want to spread wisdom and correct some of the things in our neighborhoods."
National Night Out crime and drug prevention events have been taking place for the last 29 years sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch. Citizens, law enforcement agencies, civic groups, businesses, neighborhood organizations and local officials gather to participate in events all across the country.
The neighborhood scout database lists Highland Springs at a 15 crime index, meaning that the area is only safer than 15 percent of the cities in the United States. There is a 69 percent chance of a violent crime taking place in Highland Springs. Nearby Sandston has a crime index of 61, while Glen Allen has a crime index of 45.
Index crimes are determined by eight crimes the FBI combines to produce its annual crime index and the offenses include willful homicide, forcible rape, robbery, burglary, aggravated assault, larceny over $50, motor vehicle theft and arson.
Pockets of Highland Springs have had lingering crime problems. The community includes some subsidized housing units and lower-income areas. Citizens in Highland Springs have been trying to get other nearby neighborhoods and apartment complexes involved in their efforts to subdue crime but have run into roadblocks.
"The only difficulty is some of the apartment complexes won't allow you to come in and pass out your fliers and they're the ones that need it the most," said Alston.
Wendy Dennis, NNO coordinator for Broken Bread Ministries believes the event's focus should not be only on handling violence but also on putting the entire person back together. That is one of the reasons she invites a wide variety of companies to the table.
"Some of the other churches and other businesses and apartment complexes focus on just the violence but violence is the result of so many other social issues," said Dennis. "We're trying to put services together here to bring the family together and branch out and not focus on one specific need. We want to prevent things from happening because it's a trickle effect. Schools, businesses and families should know that they can come here. Although we are a church, we're people first, and this can be a safe haven."
NNO is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, generate support and participation in local anticrime programs, strengthen neighborhood and police-community partnerships and most importantly send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are fighting back. There is currently no Neighborhood
Watch program set up in the Highland Springs area.
Henrico Fire Chief Edwin Smith was at the NNO event along with other local law enforcement representatives.
"We live in this community too; eat here, sleep here and answer the residents' calls," said Smith. "So why not be a part of it, because we are just as much invested in this community as everyone else. This gives us an opportunity to talk to people under calm conditions and I like for my firefighters to get out and show support."
Broken Bread Ministries officials believe that through NNO, the total community is becoming more aware of the issues in the neighborhoods and the resources available to stop them.
The program has proven to be effective as well as inexpensive and members of the Highland Springs community hope that it will promote a safer neighborhood and community involvement that extends beyond the one night.

Food trucks, once the least glamorous form of dining in America, have become the hottest culinary innovation since commercially sliced bread (which was first sold to the public in Chillicothe, Missouri on July 7, 1928, by the way). So the opportunity to purchase a meal from a mobile-truck window has gone from fast food to fantastic food.
That's the general perception, anyway, and next weekend -- July 8 and 9 -- foodies and fun lovers alike will gather at the Back Yard at the Beaumont (4050 Pennsylvania in Westport) for the first annual Westport Food Truck Festival, presented by The Pitch and Boulevard Brewing Company. At least 15 popular, local food trucks -- including Good You, Magical Meatball Tour, CoffeeCakeKC, Los Tules and many others -- are set to sell an array of dishes while an eclectic artisan bazaar, the Westport Marketplace, features vendors selling original clothing designs, jewelry, vintage treasures, collectible recordings and much, much more.
The two-day festival will officially introduce the Westport Marketplace as a gathering spot, through early autumn, for shopping and dining. The artisan market recurs the third Saturday of each month from August until October.
The food trucks to be featured at next week's Food Truck Festival: 3 Girls Cupcakes, CoffeCakeKc, Curbside Cuisine, Franks/Fresh Squeezed, Gary on the Go, Good You, Grub Tub, Guerilla Gourmet, Holy Crepe, Indios Carbonsitos, Jerusalem Cafe, Mad Jack's on Wheels, Los Tules, Magical Meatball Tour and Pocos on the Boulevard.
The festival hours will be Friday, July 8, from 5 p.m. to midnight, and Saturday, July 9, from 3 p.m. to midnight. Daily entry for each day will be $5; a two-day pass goes for $10. Tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster outlets, ticketmaster.com or charged by phone at 800-745-3000.

The goals of treatment for
plantar fasciitis are to:
Most people recover completely within a year. Out
of 100 people with plantar fasciitis, about 95 are able to relieve their heel
pain with nonsurgical treatments. Only about 5 out of 100 need surgery.1
that you start when you first notice symptoms is more successful and takes less
time than treatment that is delayed.
There are many methods you can
try to relieve the heel pain of
plantar fasciitis. Even though their effectiveness has not
been proved in scientific studies, these methods, used alone or in combination,
work for most people.2
Avoid using only heat on your foot, such as from a
heating pad or a heat pack for at least the first 2 or 3 days. Heat tends to make symptoms worse for some people. If you use
contrast baths, which alternate hot and cold water,
make sure you end with a soak in cold water. If you try a heating pad, use a low setting.
If your weight is
putting extra stress on your feet, your doctor may encourage you to try a
weight-loss program.
If nonsurgical methods such as
rest, ice, and stretching exercises help relieve your
plantar fasciitis symptoms, continue using them. If
you have not improved after 6 weeks, your doctor may recommend that you
continue those methods but add other nonsurgical treatments, such as:
physical therapy instruction can help make sure you properly stretch your Achilles tendon and plantar fascia ligament. Doctors usually
consider surgery only for severe cases that do not improve.
Your doctor may suggest
corticosteroid shots if you have tried nonsurgical
treatment for several weeks without success.1 Shots
can relieve pain, but the relief is often short-term. Also, the shots themselves can be
painful, and repeated shots can damage the heel pad and the plantar
Out of 100
people with plantar fasciitis, about 95 are able to relieve their heel pain
with nonsurgical treatments. Only about 5 out of 100 need surgery.1 If you are one of the few people whose symptoms don't improve
in 6 to 12 months with other treatments, your doctor may recommend
plantar fascia release surgery. Plantar fascia release
involves cutting part of the plantar fascia ligament in order to release the
tension and relieve the inflammation of the ligament. For more information on
surgery, see:
If you are trying to lose
weight and you develop plantar fasciitis when you begin exercising, especially
jogging, talk with your doctor about other types of activity that will support
your weight-loss efforts without making your heel pain worse. An activity like
swimming that doesn't put stress on your feet may be a good choice.
If your plantar fasciitis is related to sports or your job, you may have
trouble stopping or reducing your activity to allow your feet to heal. But
resting your feet is very important to avoid long-lasting heel pain. Your
doctor or a
sports medicine specialist may be able to suggest a
plan for alternating your regular activities with ones that do not make your
pain worse.
If you exercise frequently, ask your doctor
questions about exercising during plantar fasciitis
treatment. Or ask
about whether physical therapy or referral to a sports medicine
podiatrist, or
orthopedist is appropriate.

First off. I fixed the smoking issue from the gears by tightening the slipper. thank you to those that helped with that.
Now for the new issue. At the track, hit a jump. esc comes loose. Wires rip out of esc. I'm really hoping that someone can help me with this. Does anyone know if the internal wiring should be (black red yellow red brown) or (black red brown red yellow). I think if I know what order to put the wires back in, i may be able to solder it back on myself. Please see pic below.
Thanks again.

MECKLENBURG COUNTY, N.C. -- Authorities have identified the victim in a single vehicle crash on I-77 southbound Saturday.
The crash happened around 10:00 p.m. Saturday south of the Mt. Holly Huntersville Road.
NCHPsays 44-year-old Juan Dejesus Garay was wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash. Tire marks at the scene indicated Garay made a sharp jerk, officials said.
A stranded motorist witnessed the accident through their rear-view mirror, but it's still not clear what caused Garay to jerk his vehicle.
In a photo tweeted by the Huntersville FireDepartment, the truck involved was flipped on it's side; debris could be seen strewn throughout the scene.
Alcohol does not appear to be a factor, NCHPsays.

The world has started a lively debate about Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the Ice Bucket Challenge, and whether the challenge is helping to spread awareness about the cause or not. And even though this disease has been rampant for decades, not many people know what the disease actually is, what causes it, how can you identify it, or what can you do to prevent it. However, it was only since it started going viral on social media, through #IceBucketChallenge, that people started to take notice, and become more and more interested in this fatal disease.
- What is ALS? -
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is more popularly known as 'Lou Gehrig's Disease', is a progressive neurodegenerative disease. It is called a progressive degenerative disease because it eventually attacks nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord, and then the rest of the body. The progressive deterioration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to death. The process leading up to death, is a slow and painful one, in which a person loses the ability of muscle movement and control. Many patients become completely paralised in the latter stages of the disease.
Early symptoms of ALS often include increasing muscle weakness in the limbs, slurring speech, and difficulty with swallowing or breathing. The reason for these symptoms is, as the motor neurons start deteriorating, the muscles no longer receive the messages that they require to function. Hence the muscles begin to atrophy (reduce in size) and the limbs, which are usually affected first, look thinner.

Although ALS has been prominent for decades, the nature of the disease is still not completely understood, however significant strides have been made in recent years with the development of medical science and technology. Still today, there is no cure or curative treatment available, there is only one FDA approved drug, Riluzole, that somewhat slows the progression of ALS. There are however, several other drugs used in clinical trials that might, somewhere down the line, hold promise.
Even though there are no curative measures thus far, there are various practices and medical devices that have been found to be helpful in managing the symptoms of ALS, and that improve the life of one afflicted by the disease for however long they have left. The average life expectancy for someone who has been diagnosed with ALS is from two to five years from onset of symptoms.
- What is the Ice Bucket Challenge? -
Essentially, the Ice Bucket Challenge is a viral campaign that aims to spread awareness about ALS as well as gather donations in order to fund the research behind the disease. Here's what the challenge dictates, that a participant must pour a bucket of ice cold water over themselves, or donate money to the ALS foundation, or do both. After which within 24 hours, they then nominate other people to do the same.
The campaign went viral on social media, drawing in a number of celebrities as well as people from all around the globe. The beginning of the social media frenzy is still debatable at this point, although some reports suggest that US baseball player and ALS patient, Pete Frates, started the idea of challenging people in a video on different social media platforms.
So far Ben Affleck, Abhishek Bachchan, Tom Hiddleston, Bill Gates, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jim Parsons, Katy Perry, Katee Sackhoff, Justin Timberlake, Bipasha Basu, Ashton Kutcher, Steven Spielberg, Lionel Messi, Mark Zuckerberg, Justin Bieber, Bon Jovi, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Lebron James, Chris Pratt, Calvin Harris, Michael Jordan, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nicole Scherzinger, Adam Levine, Tom Cruise and hundreds of other celebrities and influcial world figures have participated in the Ice Bucket Challenge.
Mashable does a pretty good round up about ALS and the Ice Bucket Challenge.
- Why the challenge is a worth cause -
The Ice Bucket Challenge so far raised $8.6 million in 24 hours, topping the amount of donations that the ALS foundation has received thus far. As of August 20, The ALS Association has already received $31.5 million in donations as compared to $1.9 million that they received last year. The ALS foundation's official site reports that 'these donations have come from existing donors and 637,527 new donors to The Association.'
"This amount of money … it opens up new opportunities that were previously unfathomable," ALS spokesperson Carrie Munk told Forbes.
Many people disagree with the way the challenge is done, citing wastage of water, and spamming of timelines. But they fail to see the immense traction behind the campaign. Celebrities and world figures alike, along with millions of people are doing the deed, while also seeking information about the disease, those affected by it, and most importantly how they can help. The campaign may be ridiculous to some, and might not making much sense to others, but the point of it all seems to be getting across. As seen by the donations and the vast jump in the amount from last year, whatever you say about the Ice Bucket Challenge, you can't say that it hasn't made an impact.
And if you don't believe in all of that, listen to it from the horse's mouth. Here is Anthony Carbajal. He was diagnosed with ALS at the age of 25. Listen to him explain what the disease actually is, and why the challenge is a great thing.

Escobar's 2 errors hurt Royals in loss at Boston
BOSTON Kansas City shortstop Alcides Escobar is proud of what he's done at the plate so far this season. It was his glove that had him feeling lousy on Sunday.
Escobar booted two ground balls, leading to three unearned runs, and the Royals lost 8-6 loss to the Boston Red Sox.
"It's hard for me right now," Escobar said, quietly sitting at his locker with his head down. "I try to play hard with my defense. I know I can hit right now. I feel really bad right now, two errors in one game is bad for me."
Escobar has hit well in his second season with Kansas City. Entering Sunday, he was the second-best hitting shortstop in the majors, batting .304 to trail only New York's Derek Jeter.
"You don't see that very often," Royals manager Ned Yost said of Escobar's rough day. "We struggled to catch the ball today and we had to pay for it. They were both tough plays, the first one skipped up on him and the second was hit hard."
Escobar's first error led to the go-ahead run in the sixth. The second paved the way for two unearned runs in the seventh that put Kansas City in a 7-4 hole.
James Loney hit a tying single in his Boston debut and Jacoby Ellsbury drove in the go-ahead run as the revamped Red Sox bounced back from a nine-player trade and a 12-inning loss on Saturday night.
Will Smith (4-6) allowed five runs - four earned - and nine hits in five-plus innings for Kansas City.
"Just not a good day. It just wasn't there today," he said. "Couldn't get anybody out, just gave up a lot of base hits. Nothing was working."
A day after he was the only major leaguer coming to Boston in a deal that sent Josh Beckett, Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, Nick Punto and more than $250 million in salary to the Los Angeles Dodgers, Loney went 1 for 5. Pedro Ciriaco had three hits, scored twice and drove in two runs for the Red Sox, who won for just the fourth time in 12 games.
Pedro Beato (1-0) allowed two runs in two-plus innings but got the win on the same day he was called up from Triple-A Pawtucket. Mark Melancon pitched the ninth for his first save.
Lorenzo Cain hit a three-run homer as the Royals scored four times in the fourth to take a 4-2 lead.
Ciriaco hit a solo homer in the fifth, then Ellsbury singled, advanced on a grounder, stole third and scored on Loney's single to center - his first career AL hit. Ellsbury's RBI single in the sixth gave the Red Sox the lead.
It was 7-4 in the seventh when the Royals loaded the bases with nobody out to chase Beato. Craig Breslow came in and struck out Johnny Giavotella before Eric Hosmer hit a sinking liner that right fielder Cody Ross lost in the sun.
He charged in, ducked, and at the last minute stabbed out his right arm to make the catch; Billy Butler scored from third to make it 7-5, but Ross, as he fell, hit the cutoff man with just enough force to keep the other runners from advancing.

Fred Jackson injury fantasy impact
Well, that didn't take long. Chan Gailey told reporters today that running back Fred Jackson will miss at least the next three games with a right knee injury. Todays MRI revealed nothing specific, which is actually worse for fantasy owners because how do you treat an injury when you don't know what is wrong? It doesn't help that Jackson was already returning from an injury in 2011 (broken leg) and hadn't solidified himself as the definitive number one back. Adding salt to the fantasy wound of Jackson owners was the play of C.J. Spiller (owned in 78.2 percent of all fantasy leagues). He rushed for 169 yards on 14 carries with a touchdown. An impressive performance considering how well he played down the stretch of last season. Hopefully fantasy football owners who drafted Jackson picked up Spiller as insurance, but if not, here are my top available fantasy running backs/FLEX options:
- Alfred Morris - sure it's Shanahan's RBBC mess, but you need to add depth to your running back stable ASAP
- Ronnie Brown - this is a rental as Ryan Mathews should return in a few weeks, but with few threats behind him, the veteran running back could provide owners a viable option at running back
- Danny Amendola - remains Sam Bradford's top target (nine in Week 1) and is available in 85 percent of leagues
- Stephen Hill - he emerged as a rookie fantasy football flier in early August, but the play of the Jets' offense quickly diluted his overall value. He reminded us all why we were high on him in the first place versus the Bills.
- Andre Roberts - not a household fantasy name, but was targeted nine times, caught five balls for 54 yards and a touchdown.

Wednesday 9/26: Scurry, Texas - Shreveport, Louisiana
After a wonderful night's sleep somewhere in East Texas (why do I always sleep
"on the road" than at home?) my host Alan managed to find me a few fragments for breakfast. In all fairness, he
make a mean pot of coffee, which he served in the largest mugs I have ever seen (sorry for not taking a pic...guess I was too well rested)
A Non-Interstate Route out thru East Texas
The country in East Texas is definitely different than West Texas...namely, it's green.
I mean, look at that!
Sorry for getting so excited, but I come from
New Mexico---and before that---
Southern California. So
(just like running water) is sort of a foreign concept for me...
Alan suggested a route which kept me on secondary roads---definitely my preference. After all, I only had about 200 miles to ride to Shreveport, Louisiana. So I headed out thru Athens, Jacksonville, and Rusk, finally culminating in a lunch stop at the tiny town of Cushing, Texas. Some of those cool back roads had "overhanging" trees:
Lunch at the "7th Street Restaurant"
I was advised to stop in Cushing at the aforementioned restaurant. Doesn't look like much on the outside:
After asking the (lovely...will you marry me? Oops, I'm already married) waitress for her recommendations, I ended up ordering just a hamburger and fries (I'm a hopeless conservative at heart).
it was the thickest hamburger I've had since my 3rd son Mark fixed me my "65th birthday burger" in Yantai, CHINA. See?
Who Says Dr. Greg Isn't Cultured?
While eating my (excellent!) hamburger (which I ordered with Jalapeno peppers, being a New Mexican) I did a little reading on my phone. Now how many ADV riders read about Wagner (that's the composer for you culture-deprived morons) while eating a burger? You guys probably don't even know who Wotan is...just kidding, just kidding.
After lunch I strolled around to the back of the "7th Street Restaurant"...wow, the place really
is junkyard...
Just my style.
Nicholas Trammel (Flamel?)
In an effort to waste time (I couldn't get to Shreveport too early, cuz my hosts wouldn't be home) I stopped at all possible "historical monuments." *This one was all about Nicholas Trammel.
Hmmm, Nicholas Trammel? Wasn't he in Harry Potter? Oops, no...that was Nicholas FLAMMEL, right? Wasn't that the name? Man, I can't remember. * ' old.
Well, in any event, here's Nicholas' historical marker and a familiar bike:
Another Way to Waste Time...
As I was going through Carthage, Texas, I pulled over into a big "church" parking lot to take a break (and waste some more time). In a few minutes, this guy:
came over and started talking. Turns out he was a rider, and was intrigued with the Multistrada 1200S. He was kind of an interesting guy: had
of facts right, but not all. Have you ever spoken with someone like that? Had
of his facts right, but not quite. For example, he thought the Multi had THREE riding modes, but it really has FOUR. Now how could someone make a mistake like that?
It did, however, waste 45 minutes. *Excellent.
Between Carthage and I-20, I crossed another river. Water! And you know my weakness for running water...
Stopped at yet another Texas "picnic area"...this one JUST BEFORE the Louisiana border. Look at all the trees!
I strolled out among the trees, and found these luscious-looking berries:
Having never had a biology class (honest!) I figured with my luck they were poisonous...
Arrival in Shreveport, Louisiana...
After a moment of panic (nobody home!) I arrived at the home of my hosts (Jeff and Becky), who graciously volunteered for a photograph:
And look at the
dinner that Becky fixed!!
And it
even better than it looked. *We won't talk about dessert (I'm still trying to finish it...yum!)
Tomorrow: Natchez, Mississippi
The plan for tomorrow is to take I-20 (yeah, I don't like interstates) over to Vicksburg, MS, and the Civil War stuff there. *Any of you guys heard of the "Siege of Vicksburg?" *After that, I'll head south towards Natchez, and hook up with an inmate in that area.
Sorry...I feel like this is kind of a crummy report. But it was a short day, and it was hot. *And I'm tired. *Good night, see *y'all (see, I sound like a Texan!) in the mornin'...
PS. Oops, being in Shreveport, Louisiana (birthplace of "Fast Freddie" Spencer), I was gonna post the pic of Freddie and Doc, but I forgot. Too tired now, but tomorrow morning for sure.

In the last 4 matches Fed has had 6 tie breaks
And won them all.
Is this the only way Fed wins? By holding all set then dominating the tie break? Seems to me like he's garbage at everything else.
Playing garbage but still holding his serve and not allowing the opponent to break until 6 games.. Lolzzz
What a thread.. And ur such a great analyst.. :D
Fart noise.
Fed is the best tiebreak player in history, even against top players(2008 Wimbledon vs Nadal, he won 2 breakers).
he's clutch.
a mental rock, a monster, a genius
Fed: the TB master. That's the only way he can win nowadays. Because his return game is... hum... not totally convincing let's say.
That's a great stat. If he can keep up the rock solid performances in TBs, then I think he has a decent chance at Wimbledon and the USO.
6-2 6-4 6-1 6-3 6-4 6-4 6-4 7-6 6-1 6-4 7-6 6-2 7-6 4-6 7-6 3-6 6-3 4-6 7-6 3-6 7-6 2-6
No that many TBs of you look at the whole picture IMO.
One thing is certain. He's not exceptional at converting break points. If anything, it's his weakest stat really. He's win a lot easier and more convincingly if that was to improve. I don't think the man gambles enough when playing a real match. He needs to screw around more like he did on the Gillette tour in SA and hit some damn winners like he just don't care. He's capable of them, he's just too calculated in his old days I think.

I Sold My Soul on Ebay: Viewing Faith Through an Atheist's Eyesby Hemant Mehta
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Unique insights from an atheists Sunday-morning odyssey
When Hemant Mehta was a teenager he stopped believing in God, but he never lost his interest in religion. Mehta is "the eBay atheist," the nonbeliever who auctioned off the opportunity for the winning bidder to send him to church. The auction winner was Jim Henderson, a former pastor and author of Evangelism Without Additives. Since then, Mehta has visited a variety of church services-posting his insightful critiques on the Internet and spawning a positive, ongoing dialogue between atheists and believers.
I Sold My Soul on eBay tells how and why Mehta became an atheist and features his latest church critiques, including descriptions of his visits to some of the best-known churches in the country. His observations will surprise and challenge you, revealing how the church comes across to those outside the faith. Who better than a nonbeliever to offer an eye-opening assessment of how the gospel is being presented-and the elements that enhance or detract from the presentation.
Mehta announced prior to his churchgoing odyssey that he would watch for any signs of Gods existence. After spending Sunday mornings in some of the nations leading churches, what happened to the man who sold his soul on eBay? Did attending church change his lack of belief? The answers can be found inside.
"Mehta, an atheist, once held an unusual auction on eBay: the highest bidder could send Mehta to a church of his or her choice. The winner, who paid $504, asked Mehta to attend numerous churches, and this book comprises Mehta's responses to 15 worshipping communities, including such prominent megachurches as Houston's Second Baptist, Ted Haggard's New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colo., and Willow Creek in suburban Chicago. (Mehta ranks Willow Creek as the church most likely to draw him back.) Mehta, who grew up Jain, offers some autobiographical context, then discusses nonreligious people's approach to topics such as death and suffering. But all that is just a preamble to Mehta's sketches of the churches he attended. He doesn't find much community in churches; families sit far apart from other families, and people race 'out the front doors to their cars' as soon as the service ends. Churches earn high marks for Mehta when they offer great speakers and focus on community outreach, but they also do many things wrong, including singing repetitive songs and alienating non-Christians by ubiquitously proclaiming them to be 'lost.' Mehta's musings will interest Christians who seek to proselytize others and who want to identify their evangelistic mistakes." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
About the Author
Hemant Mehta is an honors graduate of the University of Illinois at Chicago, where he helped establish the organization Students WithOut Religious Dogma (SWORD). Mehta also is chair of the Secular Student Alliances board of directors. His story has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, the Chicago Sun-Times, the Seattle Times, the Village Voice, National Public Radio, and FOX News Channel, among other major news outlets. Currently, Mehta is working toward a masters degree in math education at DePaul University in Chicago.
