Knee Pain & Knee Problems
There are a lot of buzz words used in the medical field used to describe pain. My job over the next few months is to make these medical terms more understandable to 'Joe Public'.
I guess the most common buzz word for knee pain is arthritis.
Put simply arthritis is damage to the joints. The most common joints to develop arthritis are the finger joints which can become damaged or twisted. Our bones are covered by a tissue called cartilage. This cartilage acts as a buffer. When it wears away we develop arthritis. When it wears away completely, we get bone rubbing on bone, which can cause excruciating pain. The problem with cartilage is that once it wears away, it doesn't grow back.
The best course of action is obviously to prevent it wearing away in the first place. Three suggestions from Wellbeing:
1. Build up your leg muscles
2. Lose that excess weight
3. Take two supplements called Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate.
These are natural substances found in and around the cells of cartilage. They are not wonder drugs and no replacement for one and two above.
Glucosamine- 1500mg daily taken as 3x 500mg
Chondroitin - 1200mg daily taken as 3x 400mg
A recent study in Germany has shown that acupuncture is extremely effective in reducing osteoarthritic pain in knee joints. Where there is also a reduction in mobility, a combination of acupuncture and physiotherapy/physical therapy is the way to go.
That's when you need to consider surgical intervention. A scan will determine what the best course of action is. The most radical surgery is obviously a knee replacement. In the past a knee replacement held for an average of ten years. A second replacement was not without difficulty therefore surgeons were reluctant to operate on patients under 65. Now however knee replacements last longer and are being carried out on younger patients.
Depending on the damage, the orthopaedic surgeon may recommend an arthroscopy instead. This is a procedure where the debris is cleared away from the joint using keyhole surgery. Patients can be back on their feet within a few days. An arthroscopy can give up to ten years ' relief. A second one may be possible (even a third sometimes ) but with reducing levels of success.
In certain cases an arthroscopy won't be recommended by the surgeon because of the particular nature of the wear and tear. A series of injections of cartilage substitute may be recommended in that case to delay the replacement.
The knee is not made for twisting movements such as when playing football. Soccer players particularly are constantly twisting and turning at speed.
Squash and badminton players are also likely to suffer from cartilage problems later in life because of the heavy impact on their knee joints.
Other common causes of knee pain:-
Cruciate ligament injury or tear Meniscus tear Collateral ligament injury
We have two cruciate ligaments, one at the front and one at the back of the knee. The two ligaments cross each other inside the knee joint, hence the name 'cruciate'.
The one at the front stops the lower leg bone ( the tibia) from moving forward and is the one that usually tears. The ligament tears when the foot gets stuck and the knee twists badly. This injury used to be the reserve of soccer and gaelic players but the would–be James Bonds are now giving them a run for their money.
The first thing is to have it scanned. If there is a possibility of a tear the GP or physiotherapist/physical therapist will usually recommend a scan. If the ligament is indeed torn, the orthopaedic surgeon will advise whether to have surgery or not. An operation is always recommended for a professional sports person but if you are not heavily involved in sports, conservative treatment involving the strengthening of the leg muscles may be advised. The cruciate ligament does not grow back!!
We have two menisci in our knees. They are discs(half moon or c-shaped) which glide on top of the cartilage. Damage to one or both menisci usually occurs as a result of a trauma or sports injury. If torn they can cause sharp pain.
Again the only definite answer is by having a scan.
What is the best treatment?
You don't have a choice on this one. Keyhole surgery is the only form of treatment but the good news is that you will be back on your feet within days.
On either side of the knee there are ligaments that support the knee and stop it from moving sideways(similar to the cruciate ligament which stops the knee from moving forwards and backwards). These ligaments do not easily tear but can be strained during sport.
What is the best treatment?
If swollen-RICE R-Rest I-Ice C-Compression E-Elevation OR
Manual Lymph Drainage
This is a wonderful treatment(rather like a very gentle massage) and is used to drain the Lymphatic System. It is the treatment of choice for swellings and acute sports injuries in Germany. If it's not swollen but the mobility is reduced then you need physiotherapy/physical therapy.
Next month will include other knee pain syndromes such as runner's knee, jumper's knee as well as how emotional issues and stress can affect the knee. Until then.

(Mar 27, 2012) Some political factions have demanded that the ruling Islamic party in Tunisia, al Nahdah, should insert a provision in the country's penal code criminalizing the act of normalization of relations with Israel. These organizations also asked the Constituent Assembly to introduce a provision in the new constitution banning any transactions with the state of Israel. (Criminalizing the Act of Normalization with Israel Splits the Tunisian Political Arena [in Arabic], Al Byan (Mar. 22, 2012).)
A representative of the Communist Labor Party declared that the party will work in conjunction with the Islamic groups in the Constituent Assembly to introduce the principle of boycotting the state of Israel in the new constitution. In addition, following the example of a Lebanese law, the Lebanese Boycott Law of 1955 (Law of June 23, 1955 [in Arabic] ( unofficial source)), the party requested that members of the Tunisian Constituent Assembly enact legislation imposing sanctions against individuals and companies dealing with the state of Israel. (Criminalizing the Act of Normalization with Israel Splits the Tunisian Political Arena, supra.)
The Foreign Minister opposed the demands of these political groups. He announced that there is no link between criminalizing the normalization of relations with Israel and drafting a new constitution that reflects the general principles of the state's policies. (Id.)

'Flashdance - The Musical' Brings 80s 'Feeling' to Wharton Center
Image by Jeremy Daniel
Fans of the 1983 hit film Flashdance can relax - the stage adaptation currently on tour has the moments one would hope for: the heart-pounding dance numbers, the classic songs that helped the film soundtrack to sell millions of copies, the classic water scene, and even that infamous bra removal trick.
In its 30th anniversary year, the film lives again with Flashdance - The Musical, at the Wharton Center through Sunday, October 13th.
While there are plenty of off-the-shoulder shirts, legwarmers, and scrunchies, don't expect Flashdance to be a cartoonish time capsule of 80s nostalgia. The stage adaptation lets the story of Alex Owens, steel mill worker by day and flashdancer by night, and her passion for dance take center stage.
Jillian Mueller brings spitfire energy to her role as Alex, transitioning from a major singing number to a dance break in the streets of Pittsburgh without losing her breath. She, along with her fellow flashdancers Kiki (Dequina Moore) and Tess (Alison Ewing), shine with their hip-popping attitude and vocal range.
Corey Mach as pretty rich boy Nick Hurley has the quintessential good looks of an 80s movie heartthrob. In "Here and Now," a standout original from the soundtrack, Mach and Mueller invoke the feeling of a classic 80s ballad.
Many of the original songs don't shine nearly as brightly as the songs that made the film a hit, and thankfully they're all here: "Maniac," "Gloria," "Manhunt," and the Oscar-winning title track.
Although fans of the film and aficionados of pop culture know the ending, which culminates with Alex's audition dance to the hit title song "Flashdance...What a Feeling," the triumphant acceptance to the Shipley Dance Academy still brings chills and memories of Jennifer Beals in her black dance outfit.
For a night of 80s fun, dance, and laughs, look no further than Flashdance - The Musical, playing at the Wharton Center through October 13th, 2013.

TWS Does Its Part!
8:43 AM, Jan 3, 2011 • By WILLIAM KRISTOL
From Monday's Washington Post Metro section, "Slashed budgets of Montgomery County libraries felt in readers' daily routines," we learn:
THE WEEKLY STANDARD knows that government spending at all levels must be reduced. And TWS puts the country first! So to all our readers who are offering to write in protest, to organize petitions, and to gin up denunciations of Montgomery County officials: No. We'll do our part for the greater good. Unjust and unwise as it is to deprive Bethesdans of TWS in their public libraries, we're willing to say: As long as public sector unions, politically correct county activities, foolish and unnecessary programs, and bloated government payrolls are also cut—we'll take the hit, too.
So Bethesdans who've been reading TWS in the library will have to subscribe (it's a good deal!). And we'll have done our part to help put the nation on the path to recovery from big government liberalism.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) - University of Virginia officials say a fire won't delay completion of a new indoor football practice facility.
Chief Facilities Officer Donald Sundgren tells media outlets that the fire damaged about 15 percent of the building's roof. But the structural steel supporting the metal deck wasn't compromised.
Sundgren says the $13 million facility will be ready for spring practice in March 2013. It's scheduled to be completed in February.
The fire broke out Monday afternoon and sent thick black smoke over Charlottesville.
Fire officials believe a worker's cutting torch ignited insulation in the roof. The roof's rubber membrane then caught fire.

O Shepherd O shepherd come leave off your piping
Come listen come learn come hear what I say
For now is the time that has long been forespoken
For now is the time thereíll be new tunes to play
For soon there comes one who brings a new music
Of sweetness and clarity none can compare
So open your heart for heavenly harmony
Here on this hill will be filling the air
With chariots of cherubim chanting
And seraphim singing hosanna
And a choir of archangels a-caroling come
Hallelujah Hallelu
All the angels a-trumpeting glory
In praise of the Prince of Peace
2. See on yon stable the starlight is shimmering
And glimmering and glistening and glowing with glee
In Bethlehem blest this baby of bliss will be
Born here before you as bold as can be
And youíll be the first to hear the new symphony
Songs full of gladness and glory and light
So learn your tunes well and play your pipes proudly
For the Prince of Paradise plays here tonight
3. Bring your sheep bleating to this happy meeting
To hear how the lamb with the lion shall lie
Itís mooing and braying youíll hear the song saying
The humble and lowly will be the most high
Let the horn of the herdsman be heard up in heaven
For the gates are flung open for all who come near
And the simplest of souls shall sing to infinity
Lift up and listen and you shall hear
4. The warmongerís charger will thunder for freedom
The gun-makerís furnace will dwindle and die
And muskets and sabers and swords shall be sundered
Surrendered to the sound that is sweeping the sky
And the shoes of the mighty shall dance to new measures
And the jackboots of generals shall jangle no more
As sister and brother and father and mother
Agree with each other the end to all war
5. As a candle can conquer the demons of darkness
As a flame can keep frost from the deepest of cold
So a song can give hope in the depths of all danger
And a line of pure melody soar in your soul
So sing your songs well and sing your songs sweetly
And swear that your singing it never shall cease
So the clatter of battle and drums of disaster
Be drowned in the sound of the pipes of peace

Someone told me a few years ago (probably Xmas 06) that there is also an a cappella 4(?)-part arrangement. Where might I find this, and does anyone know the best way to contact Mr. Kirkpatrick? I am putting together a polyglot shapenote tunebook for publication next July, and would love to include Chariots (or Chariots of Cherubim, as the DT calls it).

Naked, pinkish-skinned head. Similar spp. Hooded Vulture Necrosyrtes monachus is half the size. Voice Various hisses and cackles given at nest and, in aggression, at food, but less vocal than Gyps vultures. Hints Larger wingspan than any other vulture in Africa. Over much of its range, it mainly inhabits semi-arid or desert areas with only scattered trees and short grass (Mundy et al. 1992). Frequently seen in most large protected areas in eastern and southern Africa, particularly in Namibia. It is generally a sociable species, congregating at carcasses.

5 Candidate Interview Reviews Back to all InterviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
- No OfferNeutral ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sendero (Dallas, TX) in March 2012.
The people all seemed very nice. The culture seemed amazing. That being said when I met for the interview I was expected to have some give and take and learning on both sides. Instead they asked some questions and wrote down notes on a piece of paper behind a folder they were holding up. It was awkward and not fitting the culture that I was expecting from employees and information gathered.
Interview Questions
- What was one time you were tolerant of another? Answer Question
- No OfferAverage Interview
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Sendero.
The interview process starts by going to coffee with a Sendero employee. This person just chats with you and then gives a recommendation for if you should come in for an interview. If recommended, you will come into the office for a series of interviews. I had two.
Interview Questions
- The interview involved questions on general consulting skills. Answer Question
- No OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through college or university. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Sendero in February 2015.
Met at career fair where an employee, someone a couple years out of school, and I chatted for a couple of minutes. Handing in a resume was the beginning of their application process. I got an email a week later with a full application to fill out. Sent that application in and scheduled a phone interview. The phone interview was only "tell me about a time when..." questions. It was with someone a bit older than the person from the career fair. They wanted to know how I handled conflict with peers and supervisors, a when I had to learn something, and a time I had to be persuasive. I didn't think I did too well, but I got an email moving me on to the second stage, an on-campus interview. The on campus interview was with a manager (maybe 8-10 years out of school?) and was much of the same "tell me about a time when..." stuff. Again, they asked about handling conflict and also about working on teams and being a leader. There was time for some q&a. There was also a short writing component. A week later I got an email saying I wasn't advanced to the next, and I think last, stage, an office interview.
Interview Questions

- No OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ weeks. I interviewed at Sendero (Dallas, TX) in January 2013.
After filling out an application I was invited in for a two hour interview. Everyone was very nice and but there were two very strange aspects of the process. 1) They decided what position I was qualified for after the interview....I didn't know which position I was interviewing for. 2) Two weeks after the interview I still hadn't heard anything...later that week I check my mail and they had sent me my rejection letter via snail mail....up until that point all communication had been via email and phone...

- No OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Sendero (Dallas, TX) in December 2010.
I had an on campus interview, phone interview and on site interview for the company. Everyone was extremely kind. The majority of the questions were behavioral. During the campus interview I was asked to write about what type of candy bar I would be which was a fun difference from most interviews. The site interview included a dinner the night before, lunch and then a one on one interview with a few people in the company.
Interview Questions
- The majority of the questions were behavioral. A couple of their younger consultants take the group on interviewees out for dinner the night before the on site interview to any questions. This was slightly awkward and no one was sure how it played into the interview Answer Question

'You Mean I Could Actually Get Some Health Care?'
Pointing out the dangers of socialism simply won't sway liberals in the health care debate.
June 15, 2009 - 12:30 am
I have a story to tell my new fellow Republicans and conservatives (new, as I'm a recent convert) that illustrates how the arguments we find compelling are likely to be perceived differently by the public they — oops, we — wish to persuade.
The story comes from my father, Hubert Yockey, who has despised Communism all his life and who was educated at Berkeley in the 1930s. He had sufficient exposure to draw his conclusions at a tender age.
Soviet Communists — in the 1930s, I believe — wished to convince their workers of how downtrodden the U.S. worker was by capitalism and democracy. The Communists showed the workers newsreel footage of picketing union members and police, thinking their people would be outraged by the cops beating their fellow proles.
But they weren't. Apparently people who live in a police state accept getting beaten up by the police for any reason and no reason as ordinary, and this did not draw their attention at all.
Instead, the Communist workers saw the capitalist workers and instantly cried out: "The shoes! The shoes!" The Commies did not have shoes, or at least not shoes of the same sturdy quality that the capitalist workers wore.
It's going to go that way in the debate over universal health care. Defenders of the current health care system, and proponents of the Republican plan, are telling stories of delays and rationing. They are crying "socialism," believing that the uninsured and under insured will see things as conservatives do and reject government-run Obama care.
But I think the conservatives using this approach will be hearing a modern version of "The shoes! The shoes!"
People who have no access to health care, and people struggling without sufficient health care, will be saying, "you mean soon I could have some?" Because when you can't afford it, you already have delays and rationing. Practically any alternative doesn't just look better, it is better.

Gorgeous Street Photography Offers Human Portals Into Another Worldcarolyncastiglia
Photographer Nacho Ormaechea captures street life and then uses the silhouettes of his human subjects to offer the viewer a portal into another world. The juxtaposition of what we see around the people silhouetted and what we see in the world within them is brilliant and causes us to reflect on assumptions we make about strangers, the vastness of a person's inner life and experience and creates an awareness about how we take our daily lives for granted so that our routines become dull. Ormaechea's art urges us to continue to see possibility, creativity and beauty in the people and things – even the colors and textures – around us.

Sciatic nerve
The main nerve traveling down the leg is the sciatic nerve. Pain associated with the sciatic nerve usually originates higher along the spinal cord when nerve roots become compressed or damaged from narrowing of the vertebral column or from a slipped disk. Symptoms can include tingling, numbness, or pain, which radiates to the buttocks legs and feet.

Archive for November 2nd, 2011
Today's post comes to us from Ian Lisman, program and policy analyst at the Alliance. Ian is is a U.S. Army combat veteran of the first Gulf War.
A troubling 76,000 homeless veterans are homeless on any given night in the United States. While that number may seem daunting, we at the Alliance are confident that we can end veteran homelessness. Already, as a result of the cooperation between the Departments of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Housing and Urban Development (HUD), we have made strides in understanding the characteristics and size of the homeless population.
If we utilize the right strategies from the start, we can slowly and surely decrease this number until we end veteran homelessness. The challenge facing us now is implementing those strategies. Fortunately, through great work being done all across the country, we've been able to identify many of them:
A problem is usually easier to prevent than solve – and homelessness is no different. The VA and other agencies have recognized this fundamental logic with the release of the Supportive Services for Veterans Families (SSVF) grants and the VA / HUD joint venture Veterans Homelessness Prevention Demonstration Program (VHPD).
These grants offer lower cost interventions that help veterans from becoming homeless in the first place by offering short term cash assistance (including help with rent and utilities). This model recognizes that for many veterans homelessness is a one-time, short term event.
That being said, there are many veterans who are already homeless and may have severe barriers to obtaining permanent housing (including disability, mental illness, substance abuse issues, and service-related trauma). These higher need veterans are better served by a more intense intervention: permanent supportive housing (PSH).
To this end the VA has partnered with HUD to create the HUD-VASH housing voucher program. This program gives chronically homeless and other higher-need homeless veterans access to the one thing they need: affordable permanent housing. The vouchers are similar to Section 8 vouchers but include case management for the veteran. This program also espouses a Housing First approach in some instances, whereby the veteran is afforded housing before other considerations are made or treatments take effect. The idea being that stable housing is the foundation necessary to address any other personal challenges. Although this solution is more costly than other interventions, it saves money over time by reducing and removing costs associated with long term homelessness (including incarceration, emergency room visits, high shelter use, and the like). And most importantly, permanent supportive housing ends homelessness.
Temporary Services
Between prevention and housing, there is a middle ground approach which includes shorter-term housing and supportive service programs, of which the Grant and Per Diem (GPD) program is a good example.
These are programs that provide temporary housing along with other services (mental health, employment, and life skills, among others) that allow the veteran to stabilize and get the skills he or she needs to move out of homelessness and into housing stability. These programs are most effective when tied to a more clinical setting treating a specific disorder (including mental health conditions or substance abuse issues). These programs are quite popular, although not as successful as prevention and permanent housing programs.
All of these models have their place and purpose in the spectrum of ending veteran homelessness. The key is properly targeting the right veteran for the right service. With careful screening, each homeless veteran can be provided the services and tools that are carefully tailored to his or her specific needs.
While the challenge may loom large, the cause is more than worthy. In this month of November, with Veterans Day right around the corner, the Alliance encourages you to get involved with ending homelessness by engaging with us or with your local homeless assistance provider. For more information about how to get involved, please contact us.

The Great Depression and the New Deal
What followed the Great Stock Market Crash was an economic depression, or a time of severely decreased economic activity. The depression that began in October of 1929 was so severe, and affected so many people, that it is called the Great Depression. In the wake of the Stock Market Crash, banks closed, businesses went bankrupt, and record numbers of Americans were without work. The Great Depression affected the entire country, but the agricultural South took a particularly hard hit in the early years. Between 1930 and 1933, nearly 200 banks closed, along with more than 400 savings and loan associations. Without financial support from these associations, many lost their homes and businesses. Things were especially hard for rural farming families, many of which were forced to abandon their farms during hard times to seek jobs in mill towns. Three of North Carolina's most important industries - tobacco, furniture, and textiles - suffered significantly during the Great Depression.
Things began to look up in 1932, when a confident, progressive candidate named Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) was elected president. Roosevelt vowed that his presidency would bring change, and immediately upon taking office, he instituted the first program of his overall plan to pull the United States out of the Great Depression - a plan known as the New Deal. He sent fifteen bills to Congress during his first one hundred days as president, all of which were voted into law and many of which involved the creation of new programs to revitalize the economy. These programs and others are outlined in the New Deal Timeline. The New Deal was responsible for a number of programs and laws that are still in place today, including the Fair Labor Standards Act, an Act that affected countless numbers of at-home workers, including tobacco bag stringers.

The female bandmembers of Chairlift, Au Revoir Simone, Class Actress, and This Frontier Needs Heroes get together with "an essentially revolving cast of indie Brooklyn sirens, twice a year in a living room in Greenpoint to cover a single, classic song that they learn and arrange right before they perform. Calling themselves Girl Crisis, the group covers a classic (mostly a capella) from a male artist each Winter and a female artist each Summer. The performances are are filmed with a Super 8 camera, are not open to the public and exist only online. Their latest: Leonard Cohen's "Dance Me To The End of Love". (Via) [more inside]

Heavy Metal Skeletons in the Closet
This cheesy 1979 promo film from the group, Blackjack, offers a glimpse into the hard rock past of balladeer Michael Bolton, which also includes a co-writing credit for a Top 40 hit by Kiss. Similarly, Bill Joel disavows the days when he posed in medieval armor next to slabs of raw beef on the cover of the self-titled album by Joel's heavy metal duo, Attila, although Julian Cope is a fan of the album and its Deep Purplish vibes (check out Holy Moses and Wonder Woman). To round out the trifecta, we have Tori Amos who got marketed as the metal-chick frontwoman of Y Kant Tori Read (check out the video for The Big Picture). On the other hand, metalheads have the opposite problem of hiding their pop past. Examples include the industrial metal band Ministry's early days as a new wave synth act and Tommy Iommi's brief tenure as a member of Jethro Tull before becoming lead guitarist of Black Sabbath. Meanwhile, Bon Scott, the late lead singer of AC/DC, is probably spinning in his grave over the YouTube footage of him as an Australian teen idol and a bearded hippie with a recorder.

Rating: 5 / 5
I just purchased the 46 and have done about 16 miles with it so far.I am 6'5" and 235 and found the large to fit quite well. I had no issues with the hip belt, and found it to transfer the load as it should.The straps adjust easily, and I like the pocket layout on the pack. I am able to get all my gear in and there are plenty of lashing options on the exterior if I ever wanted to put my pad outside or on the top under the lid.I am not sure about a bear canister, as I dont have one.I think the straps are fine, and the buckle is as well. They all seem to lock very positively and hold well.I did find myself tightening the hip belt during the hike. Not sure if I just started feeling it in my shoulders and tightened as a result, or if it actually slipped some.I think for the money, its a great pack, and its something I can go try on at REI.EDIT:I have used the pack a few more times now and carried loads approaching 30 lbs. I just wanted to test and see what the limits of this bag were. I see no difference in the comfort of the bag with the extra weight. My wife has used hers now 2 times and finally has it adjusted to suit her. She has no complaints.
Edited by vesteroid on 11/07/2010 07:05:33 MST.
Short and simple. I dig the smaller straps and buckles. I was initially concerned about the buckles and (thin) waist belt, but that has proven to be unfounded. I have about 100 miles on the pack and no issues whatsoever. My longest trip with it is 4 days, but I am going to use in on a 7 day trip next month. Only downside is that the "Airspeed" back panel bows the interior of the pack to the point that using a bladder greatly diminishes the 46L capacity. Workable, just back to using Nalgenes in the side pockets.
Just chiming in with everyone else. If it fits you, it's a great pack. I put my bladder INSIDE the airscape area rather than in the provided pocket. Works great and cools my back as I hike!
Rating: 4 / 5
I've used mine on a good few hikes now. The hip-belt does indeed slip, and the shoulder straps can eat into your neck/shoulder area if you're not too careful. The tiny buckles used for the compression straps on the sides, aren't all that strong. One cracked in half, but I found that if I eliminate them completely (modest weight loss) I can still use the compression straps just fine, tying a simple hitch.I have stopped using the top, detachable part. Which brings me to the moral dilemma; do I, or do I not cut off the now defunct compression straps here?All in all, it's a light and versatile pack. And I am continuing to enjoy it. I love the pole stashing straps on the side, as I only like to use poles on extreme uphill or downhill. I also appreciate being able to dig into the side mesh pockets without having to take the pack off. and the hip belt pockets are very handy too. I also appreciate the drain-hole in the front pocket that actually works when stashing a wet tarp to dry.

Loved it until we actually used itNormal pack weight (fully loaded) = 25lbs or lessPerson size = 6' tall 185lbsOriginally, I bought the Exos 46 for my Girlfriend, Erin. She picked out the pack for it felt great. She was really happy with the pack during our initial tests and liked it for the first 10 miles of it's maiden voyage. The pack was rubbing on the top of her butt (just below the hip line) so we switched packs "temporarily" to get through the hike… She really liked the Exos apart from the rubbing issue until she put on the Circuit. I haven't used my Circuit since that day and I've been informed that it's no longer "my pack". I now have two trips complete where I carried the Exos 46 and that is what my review is based on. * Pack lid is very convenient. First aid and other commonly used items are very easy to access * The pack is very attractive. Looks great on the trail.* The back panel helps keep you a bit cooler than other packs* It doesn't transfer weight to your hips well. You have to constantly tighten the hipbelt very tight to ensure it transfers the weight to the hips and even then it still doesn't transfer the weight very well. With my ULA I never have to tighten the belt and it transfers the weight perfectly* The bottom of the frame rubs on the top of your butt. This isn't noticeable on 4 or 5 mile walks but when we put in over 10 miles in a day it leaves a bruise which makes the following days miserable. This was an issue for both of us (Neither of us are obese). * Hip pockets are stretchy. If you pack them full then tighten the hip-belt it becomes difficult to remove items from the pockets. Not a huge deal but very frustrating when your ziplock bag of trail mix is torn in half while trying to grab a snack on the go. * Side pockets on the pack are way too tight. You can get a 1 liter bottle in them but it is a chore and it shouldn't be. I can get the bottles out but I always have Erin put my water bottle back in the pocket for me. Again, with the ULA, this was never an issue. All said and done, this pack carries poorly which is the most important function of the pack. Aesthetically, the pack looks great but unfortunately I can't move the pack down the trail by looking at it. I gave it a 2 because it's feasible that the pack would carry better on a different body type, but for Erin and myself it's not ideal.I do not recommend this pack and I would not purchase it again.

IntroductionScience is the core ingredient that makes national economies and the global civilization run, and it serves as an early warning system. "It alerts us to the perils introduced by our world-altering technologies, especially to the global environment on which our lives depend," according to the late Dr. Carl Sagan, one of the most recognizable names in the recent history of science. With new technologies announced almost daily, it is imperative that the population become scientifically literate to be able to understand issues that affect society and make personal decisions that benefit the well-being of everyone.
Over the last two decades, prominent organizations including teachers and scientists from around the world have collaborated to offer new approaches toward improving science education. New guidelines regarding science education have been published by the National Research Council and science educational associations at federal and state levels.
A current goal in NOAA's Strategic Plan is to "continue to build on core competencies in integrated services and information to contribute to efficient, economical, and environmentally sound decisionmaking." Indeed, NOAA has a long history of using its broad spectrum of science expertise to support environmental literacy programs. For example, with support from FSL, NOAA and other agencies established the GLOBE Program in 1995. GLOBE joins students, educators, and scientists worldwide, via the Internet, in a hands-on cooperative experience to increase scientific understanding locally and globally (see the January 1995 issue of the FSL Forum). FSL's contribution to science just got another boost with the recent unveiling of Science On a SphereTM, created by FSL Director, Dr. A.E. "Sandy" MacDonald. Science on a SphereTM (Figure 1) is a multimedia system that uses high-speed computers, advanced imaging techniques, and strategically placed projectors to create the illusion of a planet, the sun, or moon, as well as simulated undersea phenomena.
Figure 1. Science on a SphereTM staged for an exhibition at the NOAA Science Center in December.
Design and DevelopmentSuspended from a custom-made aluminum structure, a 68-inch, 200-pound white fiberglass sphere serves as a 3-D movie screen (in the round) to display full color animated images from NOAA satellites and other sources of geophysical and astronomical data. The invention was conceived in 1995, but development of the system did not begin until 2001. "I started thinking about this several years ago and did some experiments on the deck of my house using a beach ball," said MacDonald. "I knew that putting NOAA climate, weather, oceanic, and geophysical data on a sphere would be a spectacular tool for explaining NOAA's science to a variety of audiences." Walking into the display area of Science On a SphereTM and listening to Sandy MacDonald talk about science, one is instantly captivated by the subject at hand. In the mind's eye it is not just a fiberglass sphere, but a vast world rotating in vivid color, and you're there for a very intriguing experience.
The Information Age in which we live welcomes technology that encourages exploration and learning through discovery. Rather than providing all the answers, as was done in many traditional educational settings, it is now believed, for example, that "exhibits should be interactive and stimulate the visitor to ask questions," according to a recent article in the Journal of Science Education. Implementation of Science On a SphereTM will offer innovative visualization of complex information in a comprehensive format well suited for use in education, outreach, communication, and scientific analysis. To enhance the educational role of museums, science discovery centers, schools, scientific conferences and NOAA events, Science On a SphereTM provides an engaging way of looking at specific Earth features in its native, spherical format instead of in a distorted flat map representation. As one looks at Earth's, or another planet's, features from the outside in, as with Science On a SphereTM, the mind automatically fills with questions.
The project is a collaborative effort with NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Service, and National Weather Service. A patent has been filed on behalf of NOAA.
Local DebutNOAA Science On a SphereTM was ready for test and evaluation as a teaching tool last summer. In preparation for demonstration at schools, Beverly Meier, an eighth-grade teacher at Broomfield Heights Middle School in Broomfield, Colorado, worked at FSL with scientists and other educators to design a series of interactive structured lessons to accompany Science on a SphereTM exhibits. She had previous experience at FSL years ago creating another learning package, "Student Activities in Meteorology," which is still used in schools around the country. New educational reforms emphase "hands-on/minds-on" learning as integral to students' thinking, achievement, and science literacy, a concept practiced by Ms. Meier (Figure 2) for some time. Long before use of the Internet became common, students in her science classes were using a modem to access real-time weather data from NOAA to make forecasts for surrounding towns. Her dedication to improving science education has been recognized, including the 1996 Colorado Presidential Award for Excellence in Science and Mathematics Teaching in Secondary Schools.
Figure 2. Science teacher Beverly Meier (right) and FSL Information Specialist Rhonda Lange (left) with Student Intern Brendan Beikmann at FSL.
The lesson plans focus on the Earth's geographic features (topography and bathymetry), latitudes and longitudes, degree of settlement and industrialization, atmospheric water vapor, cloud motion in the Earth's atmosphere, and the limitations of flat maps. Ms. Meier arranged for over 500 students to view the sphere and participate in the lessons that she had prepared. The students entered a semi-darkened room, with no wires showing, in groups of 20 to 30.
The sphere and computer equipment were transported to the school (Figure 3) a couple days before the debut to eliminate any potential software glitches. Fourteen scientific and technical staff from FSL and two representatives of NOAA's outreach program were involved in setup and lesson presentations. The sphere was suspended from the ceiling struts in the school's science laboratory, four projectors were positioned at 90-degree spacing around the sphere, and a customized software package was used to correctly position the images on the sphere.
Figure 3. FSL staff, including David Himes, Senior Systems Engineer (on ladder), install Science On a SphereTM in the science laboratory at the Broomfield Heights Middle School (near Boulder) for its first evaluation in a school setting.
Data Collection NetworkEducators strive to make environmental education programs interdisciplinary and more connected to the other knowledge and skills students are learning. With most of NOAA's research laboratories partici-pating in this project, the datasets currently shown on Science on a SphereTM are quite diverse and cover statewide content standards of study in science, mathematics, and geography, thus involving disciplines across the spectrum.
The students worked on assignments (Figures 4 and 5) related to Science On a SphereTM. Their favorite displays, according to completed surveys, were "3-D Surface of the Earth and Lights of the World," the global views of Mars and the moon, x-ray images of the sun, and the "evolution of the Earth's surface due to plate tectonics over the past 600 million years." Information describing these most popular datasets was taken from a NOAA Magazine article (Website http://www.fsl.noaa.gov/sos/); more details on other datasets shown on Science On a SphereTM are also available at this site.

Figure 5. Students making calculations to answer a question in their lesson plans during a Science on a SphereTM demonstration at Broomfield Heights Middle School.
3-D Surface of the Earth and Lights of the World This dataset is a composite of NOAA's ETOPO2 bathymetry of the Earth's surface data and NOAA's Defense Meteorological Satellite Program's "Lights of the World" showing nighttime images. Visualization developers Peter Sloss and Chris Elvidge at NESDIS National Geophysical Data Center combined these datasets to show the Earth rotating between day and night. The topography and bathymetry are seen in 3-D with the use of special 3-D glasses. Color shadings show the mountains and valleys, plains, ocean depths/ridges and trenches, continental shelves, and the Earth's crustal plates. The nighttime lights indicate population densities, power consumption, and economic development. Student comments: "I thought it was very amazing because you got to see what the world looked like in broad daylight and when the sun fell and it was all dark." Some students did not know that "satellites orbit the Earth day and night taking pictures."
Mars This global view is from one of NASA's missions to Mars. The highlight of this dataset is Olympus Mons, the largest volcano in the solar system (16 miles high), and Valles Marineris, a canyon 2500 miles long and 4 miles deep. Many students mentioned that they would like to see other planets. One student wrote, "Everything intrigued me and made me wonder about...the ways in which we can make our planet a better place to live."
X-Ray Sun This dataset originated from NOAA GOES-12 satellite data and was developed by the NOAA Space Environment Center. FSL's Mike Biere developed the visualization for Science On a SphereTM. The x-ray image demonstrates that the sun is highly variable and dynamic, an observation that is not evident in similar images created using white light. The image also reminds us that solar phenomena such as solar flares and corona holes can have serious and costly impacts on technology. The dataset shows the corona, the outer atmosphere of the sun. This outer layer is hundreds of times hotter than the surface of the sun that is seen in visible light, and is where the sun is most dynamic. These data are used for space weather forecasting. Student response: "I've never seen anything like it...and would like to see different planets and how their features are different from Earth."
Moon The global view of the moon was derived from one of NASA's Lunar Orbiters in the late 1960s and is available from a NASA Website. The highlight here is the backside of the moon where many more impact craters create a more dramatic moonscape than the side seen from Earth. This image is an excellent educational tool to use for teaching about the moon's synchronous rotation with Earth, how the moon was formed, and much more. Student comments: "I would enjoy seeing more other planets because you don't normally see globes on them"; "It's very interesting and real, and you learn something that you never would have thought about"; and "There are so many things you could use SOSTM for, and not just the Earth."
Plate Tectonics This animated dataset shows the evolution of the Earth's surface due to plate tectonics over the past 600-million years. Ron Blakely at the Department of Geology at Northern Arizona University created a reconstructed view of the world for every 30 40 million years, and ARC Science Simulations in Loveland, Colorado, provided the image morphing between these periods. The original art incorporates paleogeographical information for climate zones, mountains, oceans, island chains and inland seas, in addition to plate positions through time. Such reconstructions are based on evidence including fossils, the magnetic record found in rocks, and glacial deposits. Since this dataset provides a visualization of a phenomenon that is hard to imagine, it is an excellent educational tool. The students think so, too: "It's a fun presentation and you can learn a lot"; "It is very interesting to look at a large globe that can show much information without much effort." Science teacher Beverly Meier says that she still has students stop her in the halls and on the school grounds to ask, "Aren't you the teacher who does Science On a SphereTM?". Another teacher commented, "SOSTM is an awesome learning tool. Being able to look at a large three-dimensional Earth with real satellite images projected on it is almost as good as going out into space to view and study the Earth."
Future datasets that may be displayed on Science On a SphereTM include lightning, atmospheric chemistry, climate classifications, ocean circulation, volcanic activity, radiation, sea ice, vegetation, soil types, and land uses.
Final RemarksAs educators and scientists search for new technologies to enhance the teaching and understanding of science, they may consider Science on a SphereTM. Its ability to stimulate interest and query in science has been evidenced in its dynamic displays of interdisciplinary datasets of the natural world. "We think NOAA Science On a SphereTM will be an invaluable educational tool," says Sandy MacDonald. "It is a unique way to explain complex information using images. It can be used to illustrate geography, weather, climate, space weather and a host of other kinds of data. It's limited only by our imagination."
Note: See the "Briefs" section of this on-line document for information on the debut of NOAA Science on a SphereTM at the NOAA Science Center in Silver Spring, Maryland.

Local Racing: Hicks wins first race after move to Outlaws seriesFrom Staff Reports
Joshua Hicks picked up his first victory since moving up to the 12-year-old Outlaw class at Atlanta Motor Speedway during the second week of competition in this year's Winter Flurry Series.
A week after finishing fourth due to a damaged car, Hicks was the beneficiary of a three-car pile-up on Saturday after racing up front with Ashton Winger as well as Jensen and Taylor Jorgensen with two laps left to go. On a restart as the three cars got into the mix, Hicks took the high line to make a 3-wide pass on the outside through Turn 1 and 2 to take the lead and hold on.
An 11-year-old from Senoia, Hicks moved up from the Bandolero Bandits division where he won multiple points titles between the Winter Flurry and Thursday Thunder summer series at AMS.

Priest on the run
By Domenico Bettinelli, Jr. (articles ) | Apr 30, 2003
One of our stories today is about an Ecuadorian priest who has been suspended from ministry after he skipped town to avoid a corruption investigation. Go ahead and read the whole story before continuing.
Now ask yourself what would have happened if the situation had involved an American priest in an American diocese. What would the typical American bishop's reaction have been? Considering their track record on the Scandal, I suspect Father Flores might have been tranferred to the diocese's accounting office. Or perhaps the clerical ethics board, if such a thing existed.

When looking at the constantly changing and diverse menu presented by Maizie's Café & Bistro, it's hard to imagine the days when the Phoenix eatery was just a wine and cheese shop—but that's exactly how they got started. Taking a cue from the wishes of their patrons, Maizie's has evolved steadily from those days to encompass the eclectic selection of food, wine, and beer currently available.
Guests looking for lighter fare can still find a wide assortment of appetizers and salads, with innovative menu choices like the Sonoran Chicken Salad, featuring spicy grilled chicken breast, tortilla strips, roasted bell peppers, and jalapeno ranch dressing—or the absolutely addictive Wingless Buffalo Dip, made from grilled and shredded chicken baked till bubbling with a blend of cheeses and red-hot buffalo sauce.
The menu has its share of classics—seasonal bruschettas, the ubiquitous Caesar salad, a traditional cheeseburger, and several pasta dishes—but all nod in their own subtle ways to the influence of Chef Matt Higdon's imagination. Amongst the traditional choices, Maizie's has an almost overwhelming selection of menu options that more boldly announce the Café's flair for creativity and diversity: build-your-own-pizzas, rootbeer floats, half a chili barbecued chicken, and a series of "Inside Out" burgers (the menu reads, "Everything that usually goes on top, goes inside!") that are every bit as fun to eat as they are delicious.
To compliment your meal, look no further than Maizie's extensive wine and beer menu, featuring local, seasonal selections and a rotating (often unusual) variety of choices both by the bottle and on tap. If a cocktail is more up your alley, you can expect to find plenty of fun alternatives to the more common options, such as a bacon Bloody Mary, blood orange Cosmo, or jalapeño margarita. The staff at Maizie's are also often more than happy to share their personal favorites or make recommendations.
Perhaps most exciting are the endless array of specials and seasonal features offered by the restaurant. Guests can
expect that pretty much any day they drop by, something new and tasty will have been whipped up in the kitchen for the day. Weekly specials such as "Monday Burger Madness" (featuring $4 burgers and fries) or "Pizza Tuesday" make it feel like every day is an important day at Maizie's. Ongoing wine and beer-of-the-month promotions give patrons an excuse to try something new, and deals on take-home bottles of wine let you extend your dining experience well after you finish your evening meal.
With such a diverse, fun, and customer-driven eating experience, diners can guarantee that no matter what time of day or day of the week, there is always something to offer at Maizie's café.

Have to say as written this is pretty bland. Only 2T of pecorino for 1.5 lbs of sprouts? I used about a cup of shredded cheese and the juice from one and a half lemons (meyer lemons, not as sour) and added 3T of Braggs, because it still needed salt. Also more olive oil.... I do love brussels sprout salads, but this one I won't be going back to.flag if inappropriate
I HATE Brussels sprouts. Whenever 'required' to eat them would gag on them. But this recipe was delicious! It is literally the first time I ate and enjoyed them.flag if inappropriate
Great, different salad that I think always pleasantly surprises people who thought they didn't like brussels sprouts. I'm much more generous with the cheese and lemon juice, however.flag if inappropriate
Once I played with the proportions, this salad was delicious. I will make it again and again. I added more cheese and about 2x as many walnuts, plus a little garlic in the dressing. Don't forget a healthy amount of freshly-ground pepper. Shredding the sprouts in the food processor is definitely the way to go.flag if inappropriate
Fantastic salad. The cheese and walnuts are the perfect additions. Loved it!flag if inappropriate
Very tasty. At first I thought it was bland, but then I just kept adding more Pecorino. In the end, I think I added too much, but it was tasty. I used walnuts instead of pecans, because that's what I had on hand. I brought some in to work for a coworker who likes Brussels sprouts and she said it was very good.flag if inappropriate
This recipe was voted best at our St. Patrick's Day Eve "greenfest." Really nice, light and tasty. A few thoughts: - the proportions seem a bit off. I would suggest 1.5 times as much dressing as called for, with an emphasis on the lemon juice, and at least 2x as much grated parmesan as called for, for texture and flavor - Needs lots of pepper and some salt Finally, I wish I had a big food processor, because having doubled the recipes it was a LOT of slicing to do (and my thumb was part of the slicing). Will definitely make againflag if inappropriate
I loved this salad. I may have used more lemon juice and less olive oil than called for, because I eyeballed it, and I forgot to bother toasting the walnuts. It made for a delicious and super healthy lunch, paired with a half veggie sandwich that my boyfriend and I shared. And I have leftovers for tomorrow! Wee!flag if inappropriate
Made this for Thanksgiving and it was a big hit. Nice contrast with the other dishes which were all traditional Thanksgiving fare. Also a good way to incorporate Brussels sprouts on the menu when you don't want to serve them roasted.flag if inappropriate
This lacked flavor so I added lemon zest, and a splash of both butternut squash oil and Meyer lemon balsamic vinegar.Perfect!flag if inappropriate
