Sprained Ankle: Rehabilitation Exercises
Ankle sprains are common injuries that can result in lifelong problems. Some people with repeated or severe sprains can develop long-term joint pain and weakness. Treating a sprained ankle can help prevent ongoing ankle problems.
Rehabilitation (rehab) exercises are critical to ensure that the ankle heals completely and reinjury does not occur.
- You can begin healing by walking or bearing some weight, while using crutches if needed, if you can do so without too much pain.
- Start rehab with range-of-motion exercises in the first 72 hours after your injury. Continue with further rehab, including stretching, strength training, and balance exercises, over the next several weeks to months.
- You can do rehab exercises at home or even at the office to strengthen your ankle.
An ankle sprain occurs when ligaments that connect the bones in the foot, ankle, and lower leg are stretched or torn.
An ankle sprain often happens when you make a rapid shifting movement with your foot planted, for example, when playing soccer or getting tackled in football. Most commonly, the ankle rolls outward and the foot turns inward in what is called an inversion injury. It results in stretching and tearing of the ligaments on the outside of the ankle.
Less commonly, the ankle rolls inward and the foot turns outward in an eversion injury, damaging the ligaments at the inside of the ankle.
See your doctor immediately if you notice any of the following:
- Your foot or leg bends at an abnormal angle.
- You feel severe pain.
- Your foot is cool or pale or changes color.
- You feel numbness or tingling in your foot or toes that lasts after the initial injury.
- You can't move your ankle.
You should see your doctor after an ankle sprain if you notice any of the following:
- You heard a "popping" sound at the time you sprained your ankle.
- You have moderate or severe pain or severe swelling or bruising around your ankle.
- You can't walk or put weight on your affected foot, or your ankle feels unstable.
- You have redness, swelling, or pain in your leg or groin. These can be signs of a blood clot.
- You have no improvement in your ankle after 1 week.
- Your swelling and bruising last more than 2 weeks.
Also be sure to contact your doctor if you have a cast or splint around your ankle that feels too tight.
Test Your Knowledge
Inversion injuries result in stretching or tearing of the ligaments on the outside of the ankle.
This answer is correct.
Inversion injuries result in stretching or tearing of the ligaments on the outside of the ankle. Inversion injuries are the most common cause of ankle sprains.
This answer is incorrect.
Inversion injuries result in stretching or tearing of the ligaments on the outside of the ankle. Inversion injuries are the most common cause of ankle sprains.
If ligaments do not heal properly after an ankle sprain, the ankle can become weak and unstable and give out with only minor trauma, such as stepping off a curb. Rehabilitation exercises help repair and strengthen injured ligaments.
Test Your Knowledge
Rehabilitation exercises are not important for ankle injuries.
Start each exercise slowly and use your pain level to guide you in doing these exercises. Ease off the exercise if you have more than mild pain. Following are some examples of typical rehabilitation (rehab) exercises.
Keep in mind that the timing and type of rehab exercises recommended for you may vary according to your doctor's or physical therapist's preferences.
Range-of-motion exercises
Range-of-motion exercises begin right after your injury. Try doing these exercises then putting ice on your ankle, up to 5 times a day. These are easy to do while you are at a desk or watching TV.
Try the following simple range-of-motion exercises:
- Trace the alphabet with your toe, which encourages ankle movement in all directions. Trace the alphabet 1 to 3 times.
- Sit in a chair with your foot flat on the floor. Slowly move your knee side to side while keeping your foot pressed flat. Continue for 2 to 3 minutes.
Towel curls . While sitting, place a hand towel on a smooth floor, such as wood or tile. Keeping your heel on the ground, curl your toes and grab the towel with your toes to scrunch the towel. Let go, and continue scrunching up the entire length of the towel. When you reach the end of the towel, reverse the action by grabbing the towel with your toes, scrunching it, and pushing it away from you. Repeat, until you have pushed the entire length of the towel away from you.
Stretching exercises
Start exercises to stretch your Achilles tendon as soon as you can do so without pain. The Achilles tendon connects the calf muscles on the back of the lower leg to the bone at the base of the heel. Try the towel stretch if you need to sit down, or try the calf stretch if you can stand.
- Towel stretch . Sit with your leg straight in front of you. Place a rolled towel under the ball of your foot, holding the towel at both ends. Gently pull the towel toward you while keeping your knee straight. Hold this position for 15 to 30 seconds, and repeat 2 to 4 times. In moderate to severe ankle sprains, it may be too painful at first to pull your toes far enough to feel a stretch in your calf. Use caution, and let pain be your guide.
- Calf stretch . Stand facing a wall with your hands on the wall at about eye level. Put the leg you want to stretch about a step behind your other leg. Keeping your back heel on the floor, bend your front knee until you feel a stretch in the back leg. Hold the stretch for 15 to 30 seconds. Repeat 2 to 4 times. Repeat the exercise with the back knee bent a little, still keeping your back heel on the floor. This will stretch a different part of the calf muscles.
Strengthening exercises
Talk to your doctor or physical therapist about the timing of strengthening exercises for the ankle. Typically you can start them when you are able to stand without increased pain or swelling.
Do 8 to 12 repetitions of these exercises once or twice daily for 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the severity of your injury.
- Start by sitting with your foot flat on the floor and pushing it outward against an immovable object such as the wall or heavy furniture. Hold for about 6 seconds, then relax. After you feel comfortable with this, try using rubber tubing looped around the outside of your feet for resistance. Push your foot out to the side against the tubing, then count to 10 as you slowly bring your foot back to the middle.
- While still sitting, put your feet together flat on the floor. Press your injured foot inward against your other foot. Hold for about 6 seconds, then relax.
- Next, place the heel of your other foot on top of the injured one. Push down with the top heel while trying to push up with your injured foot. Hold for about 6 seconds, then relax.
Balance and control exercises
You can usually start balance and control exercises when you are able to stand without pain. But talk to your doctor or physical therapist about the exact timing. Also, don't try these exercises if you could not have done them easily before your injury. If you think you would have felt unsteady doing these exercises when your ankle was healthy, you are at risk of falling when you try them with an injured ankle.
Practice your balance exercise at least once a day, repeating it about 6 times in each session.
- Stand on just your injured foot while holding your arms out to your sides with your eyes open. If you feel unsteady, stand in a doorway so you can put your hands on the door frame to help you. Balance for a long as you can, working up to 60 seconds. When you can do this for 60 seconds, try exercise number 2.
- Stand on your injured foot only and hold your arms across your chest with your eyes open. When you can do this for 60 seconds, try exercise number 3.
- Stand on your injured foot only, hold your arms out to the sides, and close your eyes. If you feel unsteady, stand in a doorway so you can put your hands on the door frame to help you. When you can do this for 60 seconds, try exercise number 4.
- Stand on your injured foot only, hold your arms across your chest, and close your eyes. Balance for a long as you can, working up to 60 seconds.
Stretching exercises should be continued on a daily basis and especially before and after physical activities to prevent reinjury. Even after your ankle feels better, continue with strengthening exercises and balance and control exercises several times a week to keep your ankles strong.
Test Your Knowledge
Begin muscle-strengthening exercises after you can stand without increased pain or swelling.

Outperforming the status quo
A California university teams up with smart grid software partners
Published In: Intelligent Utility Magazine May/June 2010
''WHAT I LIKE MOST ABOUT MY JOB IS that I cannot exceed the imagination of my colleagues,'' said Byron Washom, the University of California at San Diego's director of strategic energy initiatives. ''I bring in former utility colleagues of mine, and the first thing they say when they visit the [UCSD] campus is time travel.'' However, for UCSD insiders like Washom, the innovations his colleagues refer to are not futuristic. They merely form the backbone of a university that predicates progress on the sustainability of its campus.
The university's most recent venture is the advancement of its internal smart grid through a software partnership with two companies: one focused on virtual power generation, and another providing UCSD with the software to manage and optimize the information it is receiving from the first. The university's microgrid can be monitored and re-optimized hourly, depending on pricing signals, congestion constraints, operating efficiencies, solar forecasts and weather reports. UCSD's microgrid has distributed generation, renewable energy, energy storage, energy efficiency and demand-response capabilities.
Here's how the partnership works. The first company's software integrates weather, load and price information and sends the second company's power systems engineering modeling platform new instructions for how it should economically optimize the microgrid each hour of the day. The smart grid software continuously monitors the data points it receives. ''If it starts to see a divergence from the economic and physical ideal, then it can self-heal to bring the system back in line with the way it should be performing perfectly,'' Washom said.
Although the modeling platform isn't new-it is installed on mission-critical facilities across the United States from the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) control center to offshore oil rigs to some nuclear power plants-the partnership between the two companies and the university is unique.
University played matchmaker
''We were the matchmaker between [the two],'' said Washom. ''The idea is if we demonstrate it here on campus through performance improvement and cost reduction, one would think that the commercialization of those two products, as individuals or as a suite, would go forward.'' ''Other companies are trying to build the system from the ground up,'' he said, but that is a mistake. ''More product developers need to recognize that microgrids are a very large market, and that software can be installed on a microgrid much more easily than at a regular utility.''
''We are self-permitting,'' Washom continued. ''We don't need local building permits for innovations, whereas regulated utilities have to … and we are not subjected to a 20/20 hindsight prudency review like a regulated utility has for their rate base.''
Microgrid enables sustainability
According to Washom, UCSD's microgrid enables it to self-generate 82 percent of its power from two 13.5-megawatt gas turbines, one 3-megawatt steam turbine and one 1.2-megawatt solar-cell installation, and to produce electricity, heat and cooling at a higher degree of efficiency than the local utility and at a lower cost.
''We are outperforming the status quo of society,'' he said.
The university also operates an impressive energy storage system that allows it to shift 7 to 14 percent of its daily on-peak cooling load to the night by charging a 4-million-gallon thermal energy-storage tank. The storage tank employs chillers that can recover the waste heat from the cogeneration system, or chillers that use the electricity that would have been throttled back during off-peak hours.
Reducing costs by increasing efficiencies
Between 1993 and 2008, the university completed more than $60 million in projects that increased efficiencies and reduced costs by more than $12 million annually, including a high-voltage substation, cogeneration, thermal energy storage, comprehensive digital building controls and HVAC retrofits. In 2009, UCSD received funding approval for a three-year, $72 million program, which will include projects to upgrade laboratory HVAC, campus-wide lighting and comprehensive monitoring-based commissioning.
''We have about 12 million square feet on campus and we are about the size of a city of 45,000 people. Our energy density per square foot is twice that of a regular office building due to our research and patient care operations,'' said Washom. ''Since we have this diet for high energy we are all the more sensitive to consumption and to the nature of how it is produced and delivered.''
Because UCSD is in a statewide partnership with the California Public Utilities Commission and San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E), the university is able to do all this at little cost.
''We are provided with a financial incentive from SDG&E for each kilowatt-hour saved, and whatever the first-year incentive doesn't offset or pay down, we are allowed to borrow at prevailing low-interest rates for the remaining value,'' Washom said.
Due to continued interest and investment from both the public and private sectors, the university keeps adding to its laundry list of accomplishments.
''Being a living laboratory, we have a number of companies that come here with a request to demonstrate their technology in this advanced environment to bring a higher profile to their product,'' Washom said. ''We enjoy being that incubator.''
Washom only sees continued incubation in the future.
''We have an interesting administration here at UCSD, where we have the chancellor and four vice chancellors who compete to outperform one another when it comes to sustainability initiatives,'' he said. ''There is this little intramural between them as to who can raise the bar just a little bit higher.''

Backing up your stuff
When you sign in with your Microsoft account on your Windows Phone 8.1, you can turn on a service that lets you automatically save important things to the cloud so you'll have a backup if something happens to your phone.
You can choose how your phone backs up your apps, settings, text messages and photos and videos. In the App list, just go to Settings > Backup.
To learn about restoring a backup, see Restoring a backup to your phone.
- This topic is about Windows Phone 8.1. If your phone is running Windows Phone 8, some options and icons may look a little different, and some features may not be available. Check to see which software version you have and find out if an update is available.
- Microsoft doesn't use the information that you back up for advertising or marketing purposes.
Apps + settings
One of the toughest things about replacing a lost phone or upgrading is getting your accounts, apps and settings just the way you like them on your new phone. We can create a backup of all sorts of things to make the transition easier, including:
- The apps you've installed on your phone, along with high scores and progress from participating apps.
- The passwords for your accounts.
- Your call history.
- Your Start screen layout and theme colour.
- The accounts you've set up on your phone.
- Your Internet Explorer favourites.
- The custom words you've added to your phone's dictionary.
- Settings from around your phone, including photos, messaging, email and accounts, lock screen, Speech preferences and more.
- Your phone will wait until it has a WiFi connection and is plugged into a power source to automatically create a fresh backup.
- You can do a manual backup at any time – go to Settings > Backup > Apps + settings, then turn on Settings backup and tap Back up now.
- After three weeks without a recent backup, your phone will prompt you to create a new one.
To turn on apps and settings backup
In the App list, tap Settings > Backup.
Tap Apps + settings.
To back up your settings, turn on Settings backup .
To back up your apps, make sure Settings backup is turned on, then turn on App backup .
To delete backups
In the App list, tap Settings > Backup.
Tap Apps + settings, tap Manage backups (called Advanced on Windows Phone 8), then do one of the following:
- If you want to delete your entire backup, tick the Settings backup checkbox and tap Delete.
- If you only want to delete your app data, untick the Settings backup checkbox, tick the App backup checkbox and tap Delete.
Deleting backups on your phone only removes the local copy, but you can delete backups permanently from OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive). Log in to your OneDrive account and go to Settings > Options > Device settings. You'll see a list of your backups and can delete any you want.
Text messages
You can automatically back up your SMS and MMS messages to the cloud. That way, the next time you get a new Windows Phone, you can restore your conversations when you set up the phone. When you delete your messages from your phone, they'll be deleted from the cloud as well, so you're always in sync.
To turn on text message backup
In the App list, tap Settings > Backup.
Tap Text messages, then turn Text message backup on or off.
- Turning off backup won't delete previously saved SMS and MMS messages. To delete messages from the cloud, you'll need to turn on backup and delete the messages from your phone.
- On Windows Phone 8, you can also turn Chat backup on or off.
Photos and videos
You can automatically upload your photos and videos to OneDrive and get to them later from any computer or device that connects to the web. (This might use your data plan and incur charges.)
To turn on auto-upload
In the App list, tap Settings > Backup.
Tap Photos + videos, and choose one of the following for your photos and for your videos:
- Tap Don't upload if you don't want to automatically upload your photos or videos.
- Tap Good quality to automatically upload photos at a resolution that uses less data and OneDrive storage space. (This option isn't available for videos on Windows Phone 8.1.)
- Tap Best quality to automatically upload photos or videos at the highest possible resolution.
You'll need a WiFi connection to automatically upload videos and best-quality photos.

ooh this looks cool.
are we restricted to a certain number of colours from that palette, or any/all?
Apologies that we have let this month's challenge slide.
A simple silhouette to make into a map at any scale you wish. You can use part or all of the image but if you use a part of it, please identify which part you have used in your WIP thread. You must, however work with the limited colour palette (muted colours) below. You can 'mix' these by overlaying them at varying transparencies if you wish and you may use some or all of the colours.
We'll hold the challenge over for a little longer to give you a bit more time but you should aim to complete by 15th of next month.
Good Luck everyone!

Hi vorropohaiah, good question! You may use some or all of the colours. Thanks for spotting this, I've updated the challenge wording.
Ooh, this should be fun.
I'm not sure yet whether I'll participate in this challenge, but anyway: here's a GIMP palette file I composed of the colors in the attached image. It might be easier to select colors from it instead of using the color picker every time.
Installation for GIMP 2.x on WinXP: unzip the file and place it under .gimp-2.x/palettes/, found under the Documents and Settings/ folder.

This might be a stupid question, but I couldn't find the answer on the post so here it goes: Is is necessary to use the exact same image, without changing the colours (pink and black)? Or can I use only the shape?
Thank you,

MY understanding is that we have to use that shape, but then we can change the colors to anything in the limited palette that they have provided.
Seraphine has the right of it. Also, you can use all or some of the shape (but if you use some, identify which part in your WIP thread).
Oh, ok, I thought it was that but I wanted to make sure
Thank you again,

A couple of quick questions;
- Can we use the black and pink from the original base image?
- Can different colours be used during the creation process? I would need extra colours to generate height fields.

"ShakeOut" Earthquake Drills

Drop! Cover! Hold On! "ShakeOut"
Earthquake Drills Take Place This Week
"ShakeOuts" to be held in California, Nevada,
Guam, Oregon, Idaho, British Columbia
"Great ShakeOut" earthquake drills were held in October 2011 in California, Nevada, Guam, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia, and involved more than 8.7 million participants. The Shakeouts motivated people to be prepared to "Drop, Cover, and Hold On" to protect themselves during earthquakes at work, school and home.
Participants registered on the Great California ShakeOut website.
Source: Southern California Earthquake Center.
The ShakeOut began in southern California in 2008 as a way of involving the general public in a large-scale emergency management exercise. It is based on a magnitude 7.8 earthquake along the San Andreas fault, and on the "ShakeOut Scenario" developed by a team of experts.
The Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) developed advanced simulations of this earthquake that were used to estimate potential losses and casualties, and to show the public how the shaking would be felt throughout the region.
"ShakeOut started in southern California and has grown to become the largest public preparedness exercise in the United States. It's a great example of the broader impacts of NSF investments in basic science and education."
SCEC is a community of more than 600 scientists, students and staff members from some 60 institutions, in partnership with other science, engineering, education and government organizations worldwide. In addition to scientific contributions to the ShakeOut Scenario, SCEC also hosts the ShakeOut website and created a registration system where participants could be counted in the overall total.
More than 5.4 million people participated in California in 2008, with schools for the first time coordinating earthquake drills on the same day.
Part of the appeal of the ShakeOut is its simplicity. At a minimum, participants practice "Drop, Cover, and Hold On," the recommended procedure for self-protection in an earthquake. Many schools and other organizations also practice additional aspects of their preparedness plans.
While the 2008 California ShakeOut was initially conceived as an one-time event, participant demand convinced organizers to develop the ShakeOut into a statewide, annual event. More than 6.9 million people participated in the 2009 California ShakeOut, and more than 7.9 million in 2010.
The 2011 Great California ShakeOut will be held on Oct. 20, 2011, at 10:20 a.m. PST, with more than 8 million people in businesses, government offices, neighborhoods, schools and as individuals currently registered.
In addition to the areas listed above that are holding drills on October 20th, eleven states in the Central United States participated in April 2011 and will again in February 2012.
Utah is holding its first ShakeOut on April 17, 2012, the first Tokyo Shakeout is planned for March 9, 2012, and New Zealand is planning a nationwide ShakeOut in September 2012. Washington, Puerto Rico, Arizona, Alaska and several countries including New Zealand, Turkey, Chile, China and others also have expressed interest.
"ShakeOut is changing the way people and organizations are approaching community-wide earthquake preparedness."

Discours Didier Reynders: Tag der Deutschen Einheit - Brussel, Büro des Landes Sachsen-Anhalt
Dear mr. Ambassador CUNTZ,
Dear Minister WALSMANN
Cher collègue Karl-Heinz LAMBERTZ
Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
• It is a great pleasure and honor for me to be here today at the celebration of the 22nd anniversary of the German unity and to congratulate you at this occasion. To Ambassador Cuntz, I should like to ask to convey my best wishes to the Bundespräsident Joachim Gauck and to the Foreign Minister, my good colleague and friend Guido Westerwelle.
• It is nice to learn of your federal tradition that every year another Land is put in the center of attention at the occasion of the National Day celebrations in Brussels. The Free State of Thüringen, who has this honor now, is maybe not the best well known Land for Belgium in Germany, but when I tell that its old city of Gotha is closely linked with the birthplace of the Belgian Royal House, all my compatriots will immediately understand and appreciate the link between our territories. Furthermore, the talented Belgian architect Henry van de Velde was active in the region in the beginning of the 20th century and some of his marvelous houses are still present and beautifully restored in Gera or in Weimar, Thüringen's most famous town.
• I am stating the obvious in underlining that the bilateral relations between our two countries are intense and flourishing. Germany remains for Belgium its first export market and Germany is our second country of import. In 2011 we traded among our 2 countries goods for a value of about 110 billion euros. But apart from these statistics, I appreciate very much our frequent, open and warm contacts at ministerial and official level and I know that our companies invest actively and develop their activities in both countries. Belgium and Germany work closely together in multilateral fora such as the EU, NATO and the UN, to name only the most prominent institutions. More and more, the cooperation of our researchers and universities is unfolding as is illustrated by e.g. the ambitious 'Germany year' which is currently being organized at our oldest university, in Leuven, at the initiative of the German embassy in Brussels.
• As the Day of German Unity still reminds us every year of the historic importance for Europe of the German reunification, and since I had myself the pleasure to work intensely with my colleague Guido Westerwelle in the past year as a member of the Future of Europe group, which he founded, I should like to develop some thoughts with you on this subject which is of paramount importance to all of us.
• The economic and financial crisis, which we are fighting already for 4 years now, is provoking tremendous changes in our societies: it has cast doubt on old investment wisdoms, it threatens the fabric of our industrial and social models, it will force us to rethink the role of the financial institutions, it will influence public spending and future choices. It has raised very simple but essential questions on our relationships with other member states. It has changed the way we look at the world and how the world looks at us, Europeans of the old continent. Moreover, in a rapidly and radically changing world, the sovereign debt crisis in Europe has cast serious doubt on the essence of the European project: people ask whether it is all worth the efforts: reforms, restructuring, austerity or … solidarity. Therefore, the initiative of minister Westerwelle to bring together some likeminded European foreign ministers to discuss intensely on the Future of Europe was a most welcome initiative. The group convened 5 times this year and organized one outreach meeting with some members of the EP. It produced a report on September 17th, which is, if I may say myself, quite remarkable in the way it has dared to reflect with courage and creativity on ways to find answers to the reinforcement of the Euro crisis and to increase the efficiency of Europe in the world.
• We are of course not the only ones this year to think beyond the firefighting of the day as far as Europe is concerned. The president of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy and 3 other presidents (Eurogroup, ECB and Commission) produced a first interim report on the way towards a real Economic and Monetary union in June this year. It should lead to an agreed roadmap to be decided at the European Council of December and should describe in detail the different steps to reinforce the Euro and the economic governance of the euro zone, which is at least what the Belgian government hopes very much. The scope of the debate in the Future of Europe group was broader, but many questions or issues raised were the same.
• At the basis of our work in the Future of Europe Group were two questions that pose an almost existential challenge to the European Union: (1) how can we find ways to overcome the current economic and financial crisis and (2) how can we increase the efficiency and democratic accountability of the EU in order to make it a more influential player on the world scene? From the outset it was clear for all participants in the debate that some answers would lie in the current treaties, but that some other answers would have to be found on the longer term, thereby implicating changes to the treaties.
• It is not my aim to review the main conclusions of the report – there are really a great number of proposals, some of them most interesting and far reaching – I can only recommend you warmly to read it carefully, but I should like to seize this opportunity to give you a few key messages which I think, we should never loose out of sight in the debate on the future of our EU.
• Firstly: if the economic and financial crisis has made one thing clear for all Europeans, then it is the way in which our lives, our destinies have become intertwined definitively. In German, there is a nice word for that: we have become part of a "Schicksalsgemeinschaft". More 'plastically', Charles de Gaulle reportedly once said that it is impossible to revert to the eggs after the omelet is made …Unless we accept a return to a status quo ante – and I do not think many citizens really want that - , we cannot but develop further the timid beginnings of what should be one day a fully fledged economic and monetary union. The monetary union was created by the Treaty of Maastricht in 1992 and realized in 1999-2002. Since then the first steps towards a corresponding economic union have been developed, but we have now all seen that the instruments at our disposal - be it preventive or curative – were largely insufficient. There is no way back, only a way forward; standing still is falling down. The German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said many times: "Scheitert der Euro, dann scheitert Europa" and we entirely share this opinion in Belgium. The euro is the linchpin of our ever closer union. We have to accept the consequences of that position and to explain it as clearly as possible to our citizens. I know that the logic of this fundamental and historic choice leads often to difficult and emotional internal debates, not just in Germany, but also in Belgium – not to speak of other member states.
• Secondly, there is in my opinion a false opposition between short term measures and long term measures; this is code language for reforms within the current treaties and those for which the European treaties should be amended. I spoke of a false contradiction, because both time horizons are needed, and debates about one kind of reform do not preclude discussions or even decisions on the other. It is not a debate of "either or": it is both, but at a different moment. It is evident that the current crisis requires urgent measures and decisions; many of them have been clearly identified in e.g. the Compact for Growth and Jobs, which was adopted by the European Council in June 2012. The list of decisions that we have to take – both at national and at European level - to stimulate a sustainable, inclusive and job-creating growth is impressive. Also, numerous proposals have been made by the Commission to reinforce the economic governance at European level and important decisions have already been taken such as the Six pack , the Fiscal Compact, the Euro Plus Pact or financial firewalls such as the ESM , which entered into force last Friday. Other proposals for the 'short term' are being discussed and must be decided quite urgently. But the swift progress in these short term measures may not prevent us from thinking ahead and considering already now the more fundamental steps that will consolidate the economic and monetary Union. For that purpose it is very normal that at some point the current treaties will have to be changed. Lets us not make false problems: we should do whatever what is needed to make the EMU work well. When the necessary measures are decided, the legal formulations will be found. As we know from experience, far reaching decisions touching on the member states' sovereignty or acquired rights are not taken lightly and need time. The last treaty revision took almost 9 years: from December 2001 to Dec. 2009. The Westerwelle report has also recognized the need that certain possible future changes will be necessary and that the normally foreseen provisions regarding the creation of a convention should be used.
Precisely this sifting of the short term proposals from the long term will be an important item for debate in the coming weeks and we expect the road map towards a real EMU, to be adopted in December by the European Council to address these questions in detail. After December, in 2013, we should do all that is in our power to implement the short term decisions, such as e.g. the different elements of a banking union. The next year should however also be used to prepare the contours of a future treaty revision which will be likely to take place after the EP-elections of June 2014.
• Thirdly, I should like to say a word on another pair of terms that are often opposed, but that in our view goes together like pepper and salt: I mean "solidarity" and "responsibility" in a real EMU. In a "real EMU", the member states commit to respect common budgetary targets, accept harmonized socio-economic solutions and accept peer pressure or even central authority to stick to the agreed objectives, in order to lay the groundwork for a sustainable and common monetary policy. This common framework of common responsibility requires considerable sacrifices from the member states, their governments and parliaments. With the sharing of their currency they also have to share parts of their economic policies, in other words, to share their sovereignty (not giving up!). It is impossible, I think, to request this transformation from the member states and their public opinions if they do not have the reassurance that they will be able to count on the solidarity of the Union in times of crisis. Both dimensions are equally important. Work on both dimensions must proceed in parallel, at equal speed. That is also a challenge for the report we all expect by Herman Van Rompuy and the 4 other presidents in December of this year: their roadmap towards a real EMU should be detailed and precise and clearly show that both essential dimensions of the EMU will be treated within a reasonable time frame. The road map will give a perspective and hence it can create the trust which is needed to take the difficult decisions, in countries that traditionally emphasize the "solidarity" or in the other member states that put more emphasis on "responsibility". Work on the responsibility has advanced relatively well in the past 2 years, but the conceptual work on the solidarity axis still needs more attention. I know the sensibilities in Germany about this last aspect, and I am the last to ask for an immediate Eurobond without any precondition, but I must be clear to you that for Belgium some sort of real solidarity between the Union and its constituent parts will be necessary to allow us to jump ahead in the coming months.
• Finally (fourthly), I should like to make a point about the importance of improved democratic accountability in a "real" and deeper EMU. As we have learned from preliminary discussions, there are no easy remedies here either. It is clear to me that more accountability must be realized at the European level, with an increased participation of the EP in the discussions and decisions of economic governance at European level. The Westerwelle report has outlined some suggestions for change. At the same time the question of a better implication of the national parliaments has been put on the table and requires a clear answer as well. I appeal to all the bright minds in Brussels and other centers of European thinking to come forward with viable and interesting solutions! I shall particularly attentive to the suggestions from the parliamentarians themselves…Much remains to be done in this area, but we cannot begin in December with the realization of a roadmap towards a real EMU if it does not contain some promising proposals on more democratic accountability to be elaborated in the next months or years.
So far a number of rather general remarks that I present you in order to frame the debate. This ongoing debate is very intensive in Germany and it is something you should be proud of. Although we Belgians are a bit more discreet about it, the discussion on the future of 'our' Europe is also lively in my country, judging from the media attention or the small talk I hear at dinner tables or in conversations with all kinds of people I meet. At the end of the day, what drives European citizens wherever they live is the question on how to preserve or expand their prosperity and how to keep their place in a rapidly changing and sometimes menacing world. And with these two questions I come back at the challenges for which the Future of Europe Group has sought an answer!
I am very happy to say that Germany and Belgium, 2 founding and neighboring member states of the European Union, and both federal states and early adepts of the Rheinlandmodel can work closely together to make this European perspective reality. What a nice common agenda for the future!
I thank you for your attention.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Freshman T.J. Warren scored 21 points while Richard Howell scored the go-ahead basket with 1:56 left to help No. 14 North Carolina State hold off Clemson 66-62 on Sunday night.
Howell finished with 11 points and 12 rebounds for the Wolfpack (15-3, 4-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), who never trailed yet still found itself in a tight game against a league opponent that wouldn't go away. N.C. State scored the game's first 10 points and led by nine early in the second half.
Ultimately, the Wolfpack held on, with Howell's three-point play breaking a tie and Scott Wood's 5-for-6 performance at the line in the final 28 seconds helping N.C. State keep its grip on the lead.
Devin Booker scored a career-high 27 points for the Tigers (10-7, 2-3), though he didn't score in the final 8 1/2 minutes or even get a shot in the final 6 1/2 minutes.

All it takes is something like a key card to gain access inside most businesses. And, there are a number of people coming and going from your workplace on a daily basis.
Do you really know who you're letting into your office?
Aaron Alexis, the man accused of killing 12 people at a Navy Yard, had security clearance.
Read More | Navy Allowed Felons On Bases
Today we're finding out Rhode Island police alerted the U.S. Navy about his mental problems last month. Alexis called them and said "he was hearing voices" and was being stalked.
The police turned over their report to Naval officials to investigate, but Alexis kept his security clearance and started doing IT work at the Navy Yard in Washington last month.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration says workplace place violence is the second leading cause of death in the workplace. In cases like the Navy Yard shooting, we often wonder what employers could have done to prevent the situation.
We talked to the HR Group in Greensboro to find out about your employer's obligation to protect you.
"It's important for employees to understand that the employer is expected to, and it's required by OSHA regulations, to provide security and to keep them safe," said Graham Dail, senior consultant with the HR Group, Inc.
Gates and key cards are just some of the precautions HR professionals say employers should consider for office security. And, before you take that next job, there are a few questions you should ask your employer about office safety.
1. Ask about the company's workplace violence policy. It should include everything from well lit parking lots to counseling services.
2. See if the employer allows guns on the premises. Employees can carry weapons in some cases, but the employer does have the right to prohibit them in the office.
3. Be sure to find out whether the employer provides security, and if so, find out what kind.
Dail says these things are all necessary to make the work environment safe and comfortable.
"Employees need to feel like they're safe, feel like they're protected," said Dail. "And, if they don't feel that way, then you lose productivity, and people get upset, and you have office chaos."

This shirt goes right in the "best t-shirt ever" this week, it is absolute t-shirt genius. This is probably one of the most famous streaking pictures ever, especially as the bobby used his helmet to cover the streakers privates. This shirt is almost so good it deserves it's own category, brilliant.
Interestingly Michael O'Brien is credited with being the first streaker of our modern age, and in fact his 1974 streak was the first time the word streaker was used.
