Fourth-and-Short: Some Super Bowl Comparisons
By Bill Barnwell on January 15, 2013 10:35 AM ET
In football, it's usually true that everything you see has happened before and will happen again. Sure, you might only get an Immaculate Reception once every 200 years or so, but when it comes to team-building and paths to success, the league's 32 organizations roughly follow a few similar story lines and situations. In thinking about the four teams left in this year's playoffs, certain Super Bowl winners from the recent past come to mind. They're not perfect matches, mind you, but they're teams that have either been constructed in a similar way and/or have undergone the same trials and tribulations to get where they are today. By understanding how they finished their trip to and through the Super Bowl, we can get an idea of what 2012's playoff teams need to do to win this year's Lombardi Trophy.
That starts in Atlanta, where the comparisons between quarterbacks battling seemingly endless criticism continues …
Atlanta Falcons
Comparable Super Bowl Winner: 2006 Indianapolis Colts
That Colts team stands out as the most obvious comparison for me, thanks to the story lines surrounding Peyton Manning and Matt Ryan at these respective points of their careers. Those Colts didn't finish the regular season hot, losing three of their last five, while their defense slumped to 23rd in points allowed. Manning had his first playoff win under his belt, but he was 3-6 in the playoffs at that point, including two double-digit playoff losses to the Patriots. During the regular season, Manning had come up with his second consecutive regular-season victory over New England, 27-20, in a game in which Tom Brady threw four interceptions. That victory ended up being enough to secure home-field advantage for the Colts in the AFC Championship Game against those same Patriots. The Colts got there after beating the no. 2 seed Ravens in Baltimore in a dismal 15-6 affair in which neither team scored a touchdown and the Colts recovered all five fumbles.
In that fateful game, after trailing 21-3 in the second quarter, Manning led a comeback to tie the game at 28-all in the fourth, and with the Colts down 34-31 with 2:17 left, Manning delivered with a 80-yard touchdown drive — one in which he was 3-for-4 for 57 yards with a roughing-the-passer penalty thrown in — to put the Colts ahead and propel them into the Super Bowl.
Ryan doesn't have a Patriots-esque arch-nemesis to overcome in the NFC Championship Game, but there are some similarities that come into play. The Falcons were able to secure home-field advantage for this game, a fact that might help them mount a comeback if the 49ers get up early, if only because the game will be played indoors on turf. Of course, considering how fast the 49ers looked last week, it might also help the challengers in producing explosive plays, too. The Falcons have a pair of receivers to rival the combination of Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne, as well as a tight end (Tony Gonzalez) who seems to always come up with big plays when his team needs them. Manning's two big plays on those fourth-quarter drives were on long catch-and-runs from Dallas Clark and Bryan Fletcher, Indy's two receiving tight ends at the time. The 49ers are infinitely deeper at linebacker than those Patriots were, but their safeties can be manipulated and exploited for big plays. It'll be part of Atlanta's game plan to do just that.
Manning overcame his playoff Patriots problem and promptly won a Super Bowl before anyone could accuse him of needing to do so to secure his legacy, beating the Bears two weeks later. Ryan can get the jump on people saying that he needs to do the same thing in the year of his first playoff victory by upsetting the 49ers at home and winning the Super Bowl himself this year.
San Francisco 49ers
Comparable Super Bowl Winner: 2010 Green Bay Packers
The Packers were a team that figured it all out in the playoffs after years of showing signs they were capable of doing anything they wanted. They finished as a 10-6 team, but they had the Pythagorean expectation of a 12-4 team, a level of performance they displayed during a dominant postseason run. The playoffs weren't quite a hornet's nest for that Packers team, but they had begun to hear whispers about their inability to win the big game after losing to the Giants at home in the 2007 NFC Championship Game (with Brett Favre at quarterback) and dropping an exhilarating 51-45 overtime thriller to the Cardinals in 2009.
Green Bay made a notable switch at the end of the regular season that helped them in the playoffs; after struggling to find a suitable running back for most of the season, they finally settled on untested rookie James Starks, who ran for more yards in the first playoff game than he did all season.
The 49ers obviously brought in Colin Kaepernick earlier than the Packers did Starks, but it's the same sort of story: Kaepernick was the last piece the 49ers needed to be dominant in all facets of the game. While he doesn't lack for accuracy in the efficient passing attack that the 49ers used with Alex Smith under center, Kaepernick gives the 49ers a big-play weapon — both with his arm and his feet — that they previously missed. Now, San Francisco can play any style of game with any team in the league and be a very dangerous football team. That's terrifying.
Coincidentally, the 49ers-Saints game from last year's divisional round shares a comfortable resemblance to the Falcons-Seahawks game from last week. The home team looks shaky at times but gets some big plays from its defense and steady work from its offense to build a big lead early — the Niners led, 17-0, in the second quarter — but surrenders the lead when the other team starts making big plays on offense. Lead changes abound in the final couple of minutes, but it takes a stunning last-second play by a tight end to win the game.
Baltimore Ravens
Comparable Super Bowl Winner: 2007 New York Giants
The Giants were no team of destiny until they turned out to be a team of destiny all along. For all the talk now that they were a team that knew they were something great in Week 17, the Giants were really a team that limped into the playoffs on the heels of a terrible stretch of play. Eli Manning had a seven-game stretch in the second half that saw him complete 52.4 percent of his passes, and the Giants' wins came over teams quarterbacked by Cleo Lemon, Rex Grossman, Trent Edwards, and Donovan McNabb. (Hey, some things never change.) As he entered the playoffs, Manning was closer to getting run out of town than he was to winning a Super Bowl. New York's defense seemed too old; they'd gotten an indifferent year from Michael Strahan, who had talked about retiring in training camp, and their best cornerback (Sam Madison) was fading fast.
So, of course, they won the Super Bowl. Manning turned his game around and became a franchise quarterback at the perfect moment. A multi-back attack kept teams off-balance as the Giants relied on their excellent rookie draft class to make contributions up and down the roster. Despite their injuries, the defense suddenly came to life, as veterans Strahan and Antonio Pierce made huge plays alongside those left for dead, like cornerback Corey Webster, a healthy scratch at times during the season. Despite having to do their work on the road, the Giants survived their way through the playoffs and knocked off a heavy favorite in the Super Bowl, the same heavy favorite this year's Ravens are going to have to beat in the AFC Championship Game.
You can see a lot of the same trademarks here. The franchise quarterback who has struggled to be the real deal. The fill-ins and backups who've had to learn the ropes at new positions quicker than they expected, especially at cornerback, where special-teams dynamo Corey Graham has gone from being an afterthought to the team's top corner. The team's defensive anchor isn't 100 percent, but just as Strahan won a ring in his final season, Ray Lewis is trying to do the same in his. To get to the Super Bowl, though, the Ravens will have to outlast a legend in the AFC Championship Game, just as the Giants had to get past Brett Favre in their conference championship tilt.
New England Patriots
Comparable Super Bowl Winner: 2009 New Orleans Saints
No, this year's Patriots team doesn't resemble their championship winners from the past. For one, the personnel is virtually all different. The only player left on the Patriots from that 2001 championship team is Tom Brady, and just two others — Deion Branch and Vince Wilfork — are still around from the 2004 Super Bowl–winning side. Their style of play has changed, the roster construction has changed, most of the coaches have changed … it's just not the same team, for better or worse.
Instead, these Patriots look and act more like that Saints team than anybody else. They're driven by a superstar quarterback, obviously, but there's more to it than that. They're an aggressive team, one that goes for it on fourth down when it wants to, one comfortable changing the tempo at any point of the game to fit its liking, one that toys with teams. The Patriots run the ball very effectively, but just as the Saints did, their success comes from the opposition's fear of the passing game. The Patriots pass to set up the run. Their personnel at receiver is eerily similar, as both teams are built around a combination of superb underneath options and freakish athletes who can line up anywhere on the field and run past — or through — whoever is covering them. Aaron Hernandez is their Marques Colston. Brandon Lloyd is their Robert Meachem. Wes Welker is their Lance Moore. They have backs who can catch the ball out of the backfield and an offensive line that does a great job of shifting from pass protection to mauling and back.
And like the Saints, the Patriots will need their defense to stay above-average long enough for the offense to score. That team had one elite cornerback, Jabari Greer, and a bunch of ballhawks at the other positions. The Patriots have a very good cornerback in Aqib Talib, and the rest of their secondary can intercept just about anything that gets put in the air, even if they're going to give up plenty of yards in between those interceptions.
The Saints survived a sloppy NFC Championship Game against the Vikings to make the Super Bowl, where they famously upset the Colts. In that game against Minnesota, Sean Payton made a hugely gutsy call that's been entirely forgotten; in overtime, with his team driving for the winning score, he chose to go for it on fourth-and-1 from the Minnesota 43-yard line, as opposed to doing what most teams would do: punt. He was right to go for it, and while Pierre Thomas nearly fumbled the ball away as he was hit by Chad Greenway, he got the first down. Four plays later, New Orleans kicked the game-winning field goal. When it comes down to a big decision, the Patriots can be confident that they, too, have a gutsy decision-maker who'll do the best thing for his team, even if it won't win him a press conference. If you saw Thank You For Not Coaching this week, you know how gutsiness alone can be the difference between winning and losing a close playoff game.

There must be something to learn from the way Seattle trounced Frisco back a few weeks ago. It starts with scoring a lot of Touchdowns!!

Re: Falcons like Super Bowl-winning '06 Colts?
Pressure on Kaepernick and crowd noise were the biggest keys in those games. Also getting out to a very fast start, as I think the Seahawks scored on like their 2nd or 3rd play from scrimmage on that Lynch run.
I think the Falcons definitely have the capacity to do the latter 2, we'll see if they can get any pressure on Kaepernick with Abe ailing.
Babineaux vs. Alex Boone could be a favorable matchup. And I think Biermann can do somethings against Anthony Davis. But we really need Abe to show up. Staley I think has a bad wheel too, but he looked pretty good vs. Matthews last week.

Who Discovered Nuclear Energy?
Posted In: Science.
There were a number of scientists that have contributed to the discovery of nuclear energy. Albert Einstein's famous equation, E=MC2, suggested the idea that you could get a huge amount of energy by splitting the mass of an object but there was simply no way to test it in a lab. In 1896, French scientist and physicist, Antoine Henri Becquerel accidentally discovered radioactivity when he was doing research on phosphorescence in uranium salt.
He won a Nobel Prize
This discovery led him to win a Nobel Prize in Physics with Marie Curie and Pierre Curie in 1903. This discovery also led him to research on spontaneous emission of nuclear radiation, which was the foundation of modern nuclear energy. After five decades of research on radioactivity, the discovery of nuclear fission was finally made. James Chadwick, an English scientist discovered neutron in 1932 and won the Nobel Prize in 1935. His work would lay the foundation for making the atom bomb a reality. Enrico Fermi researched on uranium with neutrons in 1934 and said that his experiments created a new element, although people were doubtful about the authenticity of his experiments.
The nuclear chain reaction discovered
When his findings were published, three European physicist Fritz Strassmann , Lise Meitner and Otto Hahn began conducting similar experiments in Berlin where they managed to create barium from uranium using nuclear fission. The change of mass surprised the scientific society and they began to investigate the cause. A number of scientists, including Leó Szilárd, a Hungarian physicist, identified the release of additional neutron and thus discovered the process of the nuclear chain reaction.
Jean Frédéric Joliot & Irène Curie proved it can be done
In 1939, the possibility of such nuclear chain reaction was practically proved by Jean Frédéric Joliot and Irène Curie. Because World War 2 was just around the corner, many countries including the United States, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and the former Soviet Union, realized the potentials of nuclear energy and began experimenting with it. The United States successfully tested the first nuclear bomb during the Trinity test and few weeks later, dropped 2 bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

'One Tree Hill': Monday's episode should tell us if the show is canceled or not
A couple weeks ago, when we spoke with James Lafferty (Nathan), he hinted at the fact that the cast and crew of "One Tree Hill" had filmed different season finale endings this year.
Word is, whether the show is renewed or not will determine which scenes air.
So, we're thinking that though The CW's upfront presentation is not scheduled until Thursday (May 20), fans of "OTH" will have a good idea of their show's fate based on Monday's episode.
Our gut tells us the series is on solid ground for one more year, but we'll definitely be tuning in to see if loose ends are tied up or left all tattered this week.
Will you?
If this does mark the end of "OTH," what would you most like to see happen?

Re: Growling When Picked UpPosted by: Leslie Hemsing
Posted on: November 27, 2002 at 02:08:20
In Reply to: Growling When Picked Up
: We have a wonderful, neutered, 4 month old male JRT named Lewis. He has a great tempermant and we really enjoy him! However, we have noticed in the last few weeks, that he sometimes growls when he is picked up. What are your suggestions for stopping this? Right not, we are trying confinement.
: Thanks!
Physical discomfort can cause a pup to growl when picked up; Lewis may be reacting to his latest puppy shot or to an internal problem. Since he is due for his first rabies vaccination, I suggest you take advantage of this trip to the vet and have him thoroughly examined to rule out any medical reason for his behavior.
If he is healthy, then his growling is likely a reaction to "why" you pick him up...to confine him, to get him away from something he shouldn't eat/chew...i.e. negative things. Young pups are very quick to associate their behavior with ours. :-)
Consider picking Lewis up for no reason; if he growls, firmly tell him to "knock it off" or "quit." When he stops growling, put him on the floor and tell him to sit; the second he obeys, tell him he's a good boy, give him a treat and then walk away.
Good luck,

Alice Munro's fourth book, Who Do You Think You Are?, was first published in 1978 and nominated for the Booker Prize, while earning her a second Governor-General's award for fiction in Canada. It was initially published as The Beggar Maid outside of the United States after American publishers worried that readers would not be familiar with the phrase's use as a way of putting someone in their place. However, the themes of shaming and of questioning identity implicit in Munro's preferred title are central to Who Do You Think You Are?. Like her earlier Lives of Girls and Women (1971), the book features a set of linked stories that depict the life of a woman maturing from girlhood through adolescence in a …

According to the Daily Nebraskan, published this week, multi-sport collegiate athletes are now rare when in fact they used to be quite common.
"This is an exciting model but can only work if football is on board. You need a head coach with a broad vision for his players and program. This is as much about recruiting future elite football players as it is about making the current ones better," said UNI head track coach, Dan Steele
Last year star running back, Carlos Anderson followed his football season by winning the MVC Championship in the 60 meter dash and anchoring the Outdoor MVC Championship 4x100 meter relay team. Hot on his heals was wide receiver Jarred Herring. Herring followed his outstanding football season by finishing second in the 60 meters to Anderson and winning his third conference title in the 100 meters.
The third football star who crossed over to the track last year was Wilmot Wellington. Wellington scored in the sprints indoors and outdoors and was a two-time conference champion in the 4x100 meter relay. All three football players, including track athlete Derek Kramer, were members of the UNI 4x100 meter relay team that advanced to the 2011 NCAA Championships.
"Carlos, Jarred and Wilmot are amazing student-athletes, but I don't think they are uncommon," Steele said. "All over America, kids like them are excelling in track and football at the high school level. Then they go to college and most have to choose. I am very fortunate to have a coach like Mark Farley leading UNI football. He understands the value of two sport athletes for football and really for the entire athletic department."
At the University of Southern California, former coach Pete Carroll did not allow USC football players to participate in track despite a long standing agreement between the two programs. When Lane Kiffin took over he "revived" the agreement allowing his players to compete in track. USC found instant success in the jump and sprints like they did previous to 2000 when the crossover ended.
"The best way to train for speed is to work with experts and compete against the best," said UNI head football coach, Mark Farley. "We try to work closely with our track program for those reasons. When our football athletes train and compete against the best in the country, they become more confident and thus more productive for us. I have always felt the dual effort by our student-athletes allows a unique opportunity we can recruit towards and benefit from."
"There are a lot of very talented track/football players out there who want to do both sports in college," Steele added. "There is a real opportunity for any program who can offer these kids a great experience in both sports."
Steele and Farley are in agreement that academics come first for these unique student-athletes. Not every student can manage the demanding schedule of two Division I sports. Any UNI athlete wishing to participate in both sports must first demonstrate success in the classroom.
"The key to the success of this shared responsibility is the communication that takes place between the student-athlete, Coach Steele and me," said Farley. "Accountability towards academics, teammates and training is a balance that is critical to success for all involved."
Among the UNI football players who will be participating in track & field this season is freshman, Charles Brown. Brown, from Ft. Meyers, FL, redshirted this fall in football. Steele believes Brown has the ability to score in everything from the 60 meter dash to the 400 meters and add significant points in the long jump and triple jump.
"Charles Brown is a great example of why this relationship works," said Steele. "You want to know why a great athlete from Florida travelled all the way to Cedar Falls, Iowa for his education. It's because Coach Farley recognized the opportunity and offered him something nobody else did; a big-time track/football experience at a world-class institution. That takes vision."

PRESIDENT ELLEN JOHNSON-Sirleaf announced the appointment of new members of the Liberian Medicines and Health Products and Regulatory Authority (LMHRA). The announcement, unfortunately, did not go beyond the list of those appointed and their placement in the regulatory hierarchy. Fortunately though, the announcement left room for conjecture about what exactly the appointees are supposed to be doing – serve as "regulatory authority" of the amount, quality, and sale or distribution of health and medical products coming into the country.
HONESTLY, WE KNOW practically nothing about this body, including its capability, core mandate, and working relationship with the Pharmacy Division at the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare. As far as we can remember, it is the Pharmacy Division of that ministry that has been in charge of the regulation of health and medical products. It has been issuing licenses for medicine and pharmacy operators, assigning trained pharmacists to supervise pharmacies, and issuing restrictions on the type of drug and drug-related products to be sold in which outlet. As far as we can remember also, the President of Liberia appoints only the head of the Pharmacy Division, leaving the ministry to affirm members of the Pharmacy Board, who are usually drawn from the pool of pharmacists in the country. Whether that division continues to exercise these responsibilities appears unlikely as to us. For all practical purposes respecting efficiency and productivity, both the LMHRA and the Pharmacy Division, together with the Pharmacy Board, cannot coexist without one being subordinated to the other or effaced.
OUR HUNCH IS that the LMHRA, by its high profile presidential appointees, must be the superior, which raises these fundamental questions: (1) How does LMHRA's apparent takeover of the functions and duties of the Pharmacy Division affect the quality, safety, and mode of distribution of health and health-related products in Liberia?; (2) Has the Executive Mansion taken over the business of medicine and health products regulations from the Ministry of Health, given President Sirleaf's high profile appointment of the entire corps of LMHRA?; and (3) who will monitor the regulators to ensure that it is not business as usual with pharmacy and medical products regulation? We ask the first question to make the point that it is high time the government of Liberia buckled down to business and got serious about the health of the Liberian people. For centuries, this country has been virtually unable to provide quality and professional health services for its citizens.
SUCCESSIVE GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATIONS, from Tubman to the present, have simply constructed buildings across the country and neglected to provide trained healthcare providers, let alone to talk about providing drugs and medical supplies, on sustained bases, to cater for the needs of the sick. In order to reinforce its lip service to healthcare delivery, the government simply created the Division of Pharmacy at the Ministry of Health and neglected to equip it with analytical laboratories to test the potencies, safety, and efficacy of drug and related products brought into the country – something the division needs to be able to objectively license proprietaries and dispensers across the country. This professional body has only to rely on empirical evaluation, which is holistically subjective and ineffective. Some unscrupulous international NGOs have taken advantage of this lack of technical verification mechanism to import and distribute outdated drugs, food supplements, and even pharmaceuticals to health outlets or administer them directly to patients. As the result of this failure, the Liberian market is inundated with fake, poisonous, over- or under-potent drugs, drugs not approved for human treatments, or drugs withdrawn from the market for dangerous side or adverse effects. Today, no one knows exactly how many Liberians are dying from the use of these drugs sold at such unlikely places as the peddlers' markets and in the communities by "black-baggers" and "gobachovs", without safety verification or doctor prescription. The government must begin to solve this problem by ensuring that the apparent substitution of the Pharmacy Division with LMHRA will improve the health outlook of the nation.
THE SECOND QUESTION concerns the politicization of the health sector, which we fear will exacerbate the problems outlined above. If the LMHRA must do the work of the Pharmacy Division, it has to be professional, meaning its officers must serve at the credit of their peers and not appointed by the government of Liberia. The authority's place with the drug enforcement administration, which we understand is under the Ministry of National Security, has to be defined to avoid overlaps and therefore dependency of one agency on the other or to avoid cross-purpose administration. The third question is just sequel to the second: if the government appoints the leadership and members of LMHRA, who will monitor them to ensure that they are performing their duties – the minister of health and his deputies, who are also political appointees, the unsuspecting consumer public, or the director of the cabinet?
AS THE NATION ponders these questions in the wake of the President's Friday announcement, we urge the Sirleaf Administration not only to be contented with appointing individuals to professional responsibilities, but to ensure that the work of these people brings necessary and relevant changes to the service and relief to the Liberian people. This it must do by revisiting its health policies to improve on the evaluation and monitoring aspects of health delivery, something not satisfied simply by the changing of nomenclatures or the making of political appointments. The question, "Who is monitoring the regulators?" remains crucial to ensuring that Liberia ceases to be a free-for-all dumping ground for dangerous medicines and health products.

Customer Reviews
It's excellent BUT….
I love this app, I finally updated to the news version.
What makes it awesome is it caches everything to the app for viewing later, so that means if it syncs at home I've got everything downloaded and I don't have to use my data while on the go. At least that's what it appears to be doing (the old version worked that way). I e-mailed the author, but to verify but never heard back...
When I've got a folder of feeds it used to be one click to see all the feeds (in a folder) in one stream, I thought the new version took that feature away, but I found it, you need to slide the folder name and it takes you to all the feeds. It's not as easy (or obvious) as a tap, but it's better than nothing. It really needs the one touch button back, this is pretty awkward overall and if you have lots of feeds, this is really the way to go.
The initial help screen than came up when I launched it doesn't seem to be accessible again (maybe the tips was in there…).
I'm kinda bummed that after all this time I finally plunked down my $4.99 and it's pretty much the same program (from a user standpoint) but actually not as easy to use. I was bitter for a while that they abandoned the old iPad version (after making us think we were getting an updated version for free, but didn't) and the desktop version was abandoned too. I was hoping ease of use and new features would help that bitterness go away, but not yet...
Not the best. Stop saying it is.
We don't have a lot of good options for RSS apps on iOS. Reeder is good, but far from "the best". I don't like the redundancy in viewing multiple screens; I would rather just open the app and see my feeds. I don't like that this app has its own built-in share menu while iOS has its own share menu. It's just not necessary. The feed list view is bland. I'd prefer almost a card-like interface... not square cards but something more readable, or easier to visually separate each article in a cleaner way, with thumbnail images on the left. Lastly, it would be nice if the articles would automatically open in Readability instead of having to tap the Readability icon every time.
Also, maybe try offering a trial or lite version so people don't have to spend $5 and hope for the best.
This is an outstanding update to an already-outstanding app. Reeder became my preferred feed reader after I tried about a dozen others.
Pros: 1. Private. Does not require accounts on third party services. (But works with several.) 2. Noninvasive. Lets you get right to your content without annoying requests for reviews. 3. Unobtrusive. Interface is minimal and efficient. I like the option for inverted colors when I'm reading in bed. 4. Responsive design. I use it for text feeds on my iPhone and for video feeds on my iPad. Both work great.
Cons: None. In an earlier review, I cited the lack of landscape mode as the only drawback. With the latest release, landscape mode is now supported!

Air Force to train combat docs to use acupuncture
WASHINGTON Chief Warrant Officer James Brad Smith broke five ribs, punctured a lung and shattered bones in his hand and thigh after falling more than 20 feet from a Black Hawk helicopter in Baghdad last month.
While he was recovering at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, his doctor suggested he add acupuncture to his treatment to help with the pain.
On a recent morning, Col. Richard Niemtzow, an Air Force physician, carefully pushed a short needle into part of Smith's outer ear. The soldier flinched, saying it felt like he "got clipped by something." By the time three more of the tiny, gold alloy needles were arranged around the ear, though, the pain from his injuries began to ease.
"My ribs feel numb now and I feel it a little less in my hand," Smith said, raising his injured arm. "The pain isn't as sharp. It's maybe 50 percent better."
Acupuncture involves placing very thin needles at specific points on the body to try to control pain and reduce stress. There are only theories about how, why and even whether it might work.
Regardless, the ancient Chinese practice has been gradually catching on as a pain treatment for troops who come home wounded.
Now the Air Force, which runs the military's only acupuncture clinic, is training doctors to take acupuncture to the war zones of Iraq and Afghanistan. A pilot program starting in March will prepare 44 Air Force, Navy and Army doctors to use acupuncture as part of emergency care in combat and in frontline hospitals, not just on bases back home.
They will learn "battlefield acupuncture," a method Niemtzow developed in 2001 that's derived from traditional ear acupuncture but uses the short needles to better fit under combat helmets so soldiers can continue their missions with the needles inserted to relieve pain. The needles are applied to five points on the outer ear. Niemtzow says most of his patients say their pain decreases within minutes.
The Navy has begun a similar pilot program to train its doctors at Camp Pendleton in California.
Niemtzow is chief of the acupuncture clinic at Andrews Air Force Base. He's leading the new program after training many of about 50 active duty military physicians who practice acupuncture.
The U.S. military encountered acupuncture during the Vietnam War, when an Army surgeon wrote in a 1967 edition of Military Medicine magazine about local physicians who were allowed to practice at a U.S. Army surgical hospital and administered acupuncture to Vietnamese patients.
Niemtzow started offering acupuncture in 1995 at McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey. Several years later, he became the first full-time military medical acupuncturist for the Navy, which also provides health care for the Marines.
Later, he established the acupuncture clinic at the Malcolm Grow Medical Center at Andrews, and he continued to expand acupuncture by treating patients at Walter Reed and other Air Force bases in the country and in Germany. Niemtzow and his colleague Col. Stephen Burns administer about a dozen forms of acupuncture – including one type that uses lasers – to soldiers and their families every week.

Weekdays at Noon on 92.3 KTAR
KTAR Middays
State of the Union serves as reminder of governmental inefficiency
President Barack Obama knows how to give a speech.
His rousing addresses can stoke patriotic feelings. They can inspire but his words only seem to inspire a fraction of the country. His speeches have become a pep rally for those on his team, while the rest sit silent on the bleachers.
I wouldn't put myself in either camp. Some of the president's ideas I like. Some I don't. For example, in the State of the Union address, Obama said, "It's not a bigger government we need, but a smarter government that sets priorities and invests in broad-based growth." Come on, Mr. President. How often has the government been smart?
Every program, including the Pentagon, is riddled with waste. Politicians have been talking about this waste for years. Nothing ever changes. Government seems built to waste taxpayer's money. To make matters worse, while the president is calling for "smarter government," he's also calling for a myriad of new government programs -- programs like manufacturing innovation institutes or "fix-it first" infrastructure initiatives. This country can't spend our way out of debt no matter how hard Washington tries.
The president also rightfully hailed the military but he went on to say, "defending our freedom is not the job of our military alone. We must all do our part to make sure our God-given rights are protected here at home." The people in attendance at the State of the Union, including the speaker, are the ones who need to hear this message the most.
We now live in a world where Americans abroad can be killed with drone strikes without due process (guaranteed in the Fifth Amendment). Warrantless wiretaps are used to spy on Americans (a violation of the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable searches and seizures clause) and constant talk about gun control legislation (Second Amendment) which won't do anything to slow down violent crime. Congress and the courts work hard to deprive us of our, as President Obama put it, "God-given rights."
I've never believed we only have rights when they are convenient. Apparently, our president and many politicians and judges do, so I'll use the State of our Union to remind us of the inefficiency of government and that governments and courts work to deprive you of your freedoms.
Tell me, is that smart?

My latest shopping victory is a jersey maxi from Max Studio that I got at T.J.Maxx for $25, marked down from its original $78. Best of all, I can wear it as a skirt or a dress—so that makes it an even better deal! I haven't yet gone online to see if I can find it cheaper, but I doubt that's possible. But I'm going to do it, just for fun. We call it the T.J.Maxx Challenge, and the idea was inspired by our editor-in-chief's compulsion to do just that: price her best bargains and see if she in fact got the best deal possible (almost always the answer is yes!).
We did the same thing as part of our big October cover story, "Save even more at discount stores!" We sent our most stylish secret shopper to find the best stuff she could at T.J.Maxx and Marshalls and then we had our summer intern look to beat their prices. Here are some highlights:
The best deal we found was a pair of Alice and Olivia pants, originally $297, on clearance at T.J.Maxx for $20! The lowest price we found online was $250 at Nordstrom. (And no, the pants weren't damaged or anything.)
Next best was a gorgeous Kate Spade dresss, originally $398, marked down to $60, also at T.J.Maxx. The next-best price we found was $200 at 6pm.com.
Other bargains included a Kate Spade cropped jacket, marked down from $478 to $100; a Michael Kors clutch, marked down from $218 to $100; Calvin Klein calf and patent peep-toe wedges, marked down from $119 to $40; and more.
What's the best markdown you ever found? Let us know! And take the T.J.Maxx Challenge! Get the best deals you can there, and the see if you can find them cheaper online. Check out the October issue, on newsstands now!

FORGET Prince Harry's under-age boozing and pot smoking. If Britain's Home Office is right, the fastest-growing illegal teenage pastime is stealing people's mobile phones (see "Mobile targets").
The problem may be particularly serious in Britain, but we should remember that thieves steal cellphones everywhere. Some of the reasons are all too obvious: mobile phones are by definition small objects of high value that are often used on street corners. But one less obvious factor fuelling the theft is the globalised technology behind mobile phones.
Nearly every commercial cellphone network in the world uses the GSM system. That's good news for the European inventors of that systemand for you too if you want to use your phone abroad. The downside is that handsets stolen in London can be whisked off by the hundred to Munich or Moscow, reprogrammed in a trice and sold on. That is why it is wrong ...

Some collections fit neatly in a curio cabinet. Not Lee Maxwell's. His hoard fills two large buildings in Eaton, Colo., 40 miles south of Cheyenne, Wyo. "They are magnificent things; I delight in putting them together and find it interesting how they evolved," says Mr. Maxwell, a retired electrical engineering professor, about his 325 vintage washing machines. "I'm 62 now and hope to have 750 washers before I'm through." By collecting and restoring old washers, he is putting a new spin on run-down appliances that most people send to the dump.
Washers display some of America's finest technological innovations and are a window on past domestic life. "In 1920 there were between 150 and 200 companies making washing machines, and by 1940 that number had dropped to 50," according to Orville Butler, a specialist in the historical study of science and technology at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa, who has served as an archivist for the Maytag Co. in nearby Newton, Iowa.

Latex condoms are intended to prevent pregnancy, HIV/AIDS, and other sexually transmitted infections.
Some people are sensitive to Nonoxynol-9. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or storage for prolonged periods at temperatures above 100F.
Latex condoms reduce the risk of transmitting STIs by providing a barrier against the source of the infection. However, they do not completely eliminate the risks of pregnancy and STIs. To get the most protection from a latex condom, use on correctly every time you have sex. Please see directions for use on inner side of carton. There are many STIs. A latex condom can reduce the risk of STI transmission (such as HIV infection (AIDS) and gonorrhea) to or from the penis. However, some STIs (such as Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and herpes) can also be spread by other sexual contact. For additional information on condoms, STIs and pregnancy protection, or if you believe you have an STI, contact a health care provider or public health agency. Condoms are highly effective against pregnancy, less than 2 women in 100 get pregnant during one year of typical correct and consistent use. Other contraceptive methods are more or less effective than condoms. If you have any questions about birth control options particularly because of health reasons for avoiding pregnancy, discuss with a health care provider or public health agency which would be your best choice. Caution: This Product Contains natural Rubber Latex Which May Cause Allergic Reactions.

Register Online for the SHA 40th Annual Conference. Or, if you prefer to register for the conference via email or fax, download the SHA 40th Annual Conference Registration Form.
In conjunction with the 400th anniversary of the settlement of Jamestowne, the SHA Board has selected Williamsburg, Virginia as the site for the 40th Annual Conference on Historical and Underwater Archaeology, which will be held January 9-14, 2007. This will be the first major event in a year of celebration and commemoration of this historic venue.
The theme "Old World/New World: Culture in Transformation" encourages conference presentations focusing on cosmopolitan concepts expressed in hinterland environments. It speaks to the impact of immigrant culture on the transformation of native peoples and, conversely, the natives on the immigrants. "Old World/New World" also encompasses comparative studies exploring life in Western Europe, 15th through 19th centuries, with its provincial American counterparts. This broad concept asks researchers to look at their sites not in isolation, but as a part of an evolving Atlantic world community. It also encourages sessions on regional collaboration.

Heartbeat Rochelle Tank 6 6
Beautiful! I got an endless amount of compliments on this top. I ADORE it. It rises up a little. The chest is flattering and makes my shoulders look good. The colors are brighter than they seem in the picture. I wore a nude strapless bra underneath and that worked great. I wore turquoise shorts with it and it really pulled out the turquoise in the top. Love! 5.6.2012
Very Cute I love this top! I bought it in the blue, and it is so comfortable. I love to pair it with dark flared denim on a lazy day. It also looks cute with a different colored tank layered underneath it. If you are looking for something unique and new in your closet, this is perfect! 4.30.2012
Perfect for Spring I have no complaints! The bright colors and floral pattern at the top makes it perfect for spring. It looks exactly like it does in the pictures, and it fit me well. 4.27.2012
size up for bust I am a 36 c.I sized up from medium to large for this. The material is thick and durable. The colors are summery and fun. Recommend. 3.19.2012
cute needs shape The shape is slightly boxy and I would prefer it to have a more tailored look at the waist. I layer it over a cropped seamless bralette that i got somewhere else. The straps are adjustable which is great bc I am short and usually FP tops fall off my shoulders and I have to sew them shorter. The threads snag so i am not sure how many wears I will get since I am rough on my clothes. I think it is pretty and comfortable. i got an XS, I'm 34c, 26, 33. it fit ok kinda loose at waist. 3.18.2012
Kinda Pretty The color of these tanks just screams spring! This tank has a really awesome texture, but that is what makes this slightly unflattering. The fabric has some bulk to it that shows when you layer. Fit wise, these tanks run TTS, but it is a bit boxy. I tried sizing down for a fitted look, but the tank was too short when I did that. Too bad. 2.20.2012

Waterproof Anorak Rain Jacket 33 33
Love this rain coat Needed a raincoat for a two week trip to Ireland. Purchased this coat with the separate liner. Runs a little big which is perfect for allowing room for extra layers. Coat kept me dry on day in Killarney with driving rain. Very well constructed and love the inside zippers pocket which has come in handy. I never write reviews but loved this coat so much I felt the need to share. May 11, 2015
Nice Coat I have not had a chance to wear this yet, but this is a nice coat. Beautiful blue color. It has some weight to it so it will be perfect for 50/60 degree weather. A light sweater will work well . It is not however as roomy as expected. If someone is going to get the liner to go with this coat or if you want to wear a sweater I might suggest sizing up. March 13, 2015
Order size down Love this coat but needed to exchange it. If not adding the liner it fits too big. March 13, 2015
Inner Pocket Disappointment I bought this jacket for the inside zipper pockets. I am a little disappointed in their location - over breast area. I assume this is the safest place rather than at waist, but the shape of whatever is put in pockets is readily visible and not flattering looking. Also took me a while to figure out that hood can be folded into itself and hidden, but result is very bulky over the neck. March 12, 2015
Versatile Three Season Jacket I have been looking for a three season jacket that I could use for traveling for both during the day (casual) and in the evening (semi dressy). The jacket has enough room for a thin to medium weight sweater. The jacket has plenty of room and I especially like that I am able to cinch the waist area. There are numerous pockets and cloth envelope/ bag with a zip pocket to fold and store the jacket while traveling. March 11, 2015
Raincoat purchase I was looking for a raincoat that would repel water and I think this will do nicely. It fit true to it's size as well. March 5, 2015
Great Travel Jacket I brought this jacket with me on a trip to Europe last fall. I wore it all the time. It was the perfect weight and easy to pack. I bought the jacket in the stone color for our trip to Ireland this fall. It will be to nice to alternate between black and stone. February 11, 2015
Nice Jacket I received my anorak jacket and love it. I tried it on, but bought it to take to Europe on a cruise in April. The fit (lrg petite) fits well. I am 5 foot 2. Happy that material is a soft kind of brushed cotton that is heavier than I expected. Made very well. Hate the liner. See my review. January 27, 2015

In 1930, at the age of 23, Wainwright saved up enough money for a week's walking holiday in the Lake District with his cousin Eric Beardsall. They arrived in Windermere and climbed the nearby hill Orrest Head, where Wainwright saw his first view of the Lakeland fells. This moment marked the start of what he would later describe as his love affair with the Lake District. In 1931 he married his first wife, Ruth Holden, a local mill worker, with whom he had a son Peter. In 1941 Wainwright was able to move closer to the fells when he took a job (and with it a pay cut) at the Borough Treasurer's office in Kendal, Westmorland. He lived and worked in the town for the rest of his life, serving as Borough Treasurer from 1948 until he retired in 1967. His first marriage ended when Ruth walked out three weeks before he retired. They later divorced. In 1970 he married Betty McNally, also a divorcee, who became his walking companion and who eventually carried his ashes to Innominate Tarn at the top of Haystacks.
According to Wainwright in his autobiography Fellwanderer, he initially planned the series for his own interest rather than with any intention of publication. When he did come to publish his first book it was privately through a local printer, as he could not face the prospect of finding a publisher; however, his friend Henry Marshall, Chief Librarian of Kendal and Westmorland, took charge of publicity and administration and his name appears as publisher on the early editions. This arrangement continued for the first editions of the next three books in the series, after which they were taken over by the local newspaper The Westmorland Gazette in Kendal. Wainwright's books were in turn taken over by Michael Joseph in the 1990s. When they ceased publication in 2003, the rights were bought by Frances Lincoln.
The Pictorial Guides are currently being updated, for the first time since their original publication, to take account of changed conditions on the fells. The revisions are being made by Chris Jesty, who uses an imitation of Wainwright's hand lettering to make the alterations look as unobtrusive as possible. Perhaps the most notable change is that the covers of the revised books show photographs of the Lake District by Derry Brabbs, rather than the drawings that were on the covers of the originals. As of July 2008 the first five books in the 'Lakeland Fells' series have been issued in a revised edition, with the sixth book due to be published on 23 October 2008 and the seventh in Spring 2009. Revised editions of the remaining guides, including The Outlying Fells of Lakeland are planned to be published by 2012.
In 1972 Wainwright devised the Coast to Coast Walk, partly as a conscious alternative to the Pennine Way. The Coast to Coast, he declares in his guidebook to the route, which follows the same format as the Pennine Way Companion, "puts the Pennine Way to shame" for scenic beauty, variety and interest. The 190-mile route traverses the north of England from St. Bees to Robin Hood's Bay, passing through the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors national parks.
The Outlying Fells of Lakeland (an idea he had previously rejected), published in 1974, was his last major guidebook. Thereafter he concentrated on sketchbooks of larger-size line drawings until his eyesight began to fail in the mid-1980s. His Ex-Fellwanderer, an autobiographical work published in 1987, was clearly intended to be his last written work – to the relief of some, shocked by the misogyny and right-wing views it revealed – but he continued to lend his name and some written commentary to a series of "coffee table books" featuring the photography of Derry Brabbs. Although commercially successful, these were not highly regarded by fans of Wainwright's earlier work as they contained little new information and the octogenarian's prose had become stilted and humourless.
A BBC documentary has been shot about Wainwright's life and was aired on Sunday 25 February 2007 on BBC Four, prior to a new 4-part series of walks beginning on Monday 26 February 2007.
This first Wainwright Walks BBC series covered Blencathra by Sharp Edge, Castle Crag, Haystacks and Scafell Pike from Seathwaite. The second series, broadcast later in 2007, includes Catbells, Crinkle Crags, Helm Crag, Helvellyn from Patterdale, High Street from Mardale and Pillar. A third series is currently in production (Aug 2008). The presenter is Julia Bradbury. A Granada TV series Wainwright Country included Eagle Crag, Great Calva, Knott Rigg, Pike O'Blisco, Stybarrow Dodd, Thornthwaite Crag and Yewbarrow.
Wainwright Walks Series One was released on DVD in June 2007 and Series Two will be available in early January 2008.
Wainwright died in 1991 of a heart attack. According to his biographer Hunter Davies he failed to leave anything to his son Peter, the product of his first, unhappy marriage.
Wainwright's Pictorial Guides have been in continuous publication since they were written and have sold more than two million copies. Although a large number of more up-to-date guides are now on the market, his books remain among the most popular available for their depth, detail and unique style. Moreover, his division of the Lake District into seven areas, and his choice of fells to include, have been followed in whole or in part by subsequent writers such as Mark Richards. The Coast to Coast Walk too is one of the most popular long-distance footpaths in the United Kingdom despite its lack of official status, and has spawned various guidebooks by other authors. In 2003 it was voted the second best walk in the world in a survey of experts conducted by Country Walking magazine. The popularity of Wainwright's books of drawings and large-format photographic books has not matched that of the guides, however, and many of these are now out of print.
The 214 fells described in the Pictorial Guides are now generally known as the Wainwrights, and visiting them all is a common form of peak bagging. The Long Distance Walkers Association maintains a register of walkers who have completed the Wainwrights; in November 2007 there were 459 people on the list, of whom 40 had completed more than once. Dave Hewitt estimates that the total number of completers could be over 50% higher than the LDWA's figure. The Ramblers Association reported in 2008 that a boy of six years, four months and 27 days had become the youngest person to complete the Wainwrights.
Wainwright was a strong supporter of animal rights, and gave most of the profits from his books to animal charities. In 1972 he became chairman of the recently founded Animal Rescue Cumbria, and over the years he donated enough money to the charity to enable the foundation in 1984 of Kapellan, a shelter for stray cats and dogs in Kendal. After his death the society was renamed "Animal Rescue Cumbria – The Wainwright Shelter" in his memory.
The Wainwright Society was inaugurated in 2002, with the aim of keeping alive the things he promoted through his books.
This is a list of the principal books by Wainwright published in his lifetime. He also produced several further books of drawings and illustrated works by other authors notably "The Plague Dogs" by Richard Adams in which his maps are fairly essential for following the dogs' progress .
