The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review obtained a copy of a report by the state Department of Aging that says the lottery will use its reserves, which totalled million a year ago, and go 187 million in debt by July 2003. The report blames the state's ballooning prescription drug program, where costs are. increasing 22 percent each year because of increasing drug costs. Pennsylvania's lottery is the only one nationwide dedicated to helping the elderly exclusively. Onfrthird of lottery revenue covers prescription drug program, while the rest is used for home care and rebates on property taxes and rent. Pennsylvania has the second-largest elderly population in the nation behind Florida. The report, ordered by the Legislature, comes as some lawmakers are considering legislation to expand the state's mil- lion prescription drug program that serves senior citizens. "1 think they [legislators] now sense this is a train wreck said Tim Murphy, chairman of the state Senate Aging Commit-tee. The Upper St. Clair Republican was a member of the panel that drafted the report. The report also suggests measures that could save the lottery as much as mil- lion a year, including increasing the copayment low-income seniors pay for medications. "Anything less than million to million [in annual savings] is probably not worth enacting. It gets you a couple years and lakes some steam out of said Richard Browdie, secretary of the state Department of Aging. Robert F. Mars III, who became execu- tive director of the lottery last year, declined to comment. Meanwhile, the state Department of Revenue, which oversees the lottery, said it was considering measures to raise money; including joining a multi-state lottery.

"Tavakli Village" Tavakli by Tavakli
Tavakli Travel Guide: 5 reviews and 19 photos
The old name of this village is Larissa. Later this was changed to Tavuklu and subsequently its current name of Tavakli.
Canakkale is 74 km away from Tavakli and Ezine is just 24 km away. The location of this village is between the edge of the Sakar Mountain and 3km inland of the Agean Sea. It has a height above sea level of 200 metres.
The beach area is called Tavakli Iskelesi. At the present time there is no port here but in the past they used to export oak acorns from Tavakli Iskelesi. Along the beach are several guest houses, a few hotels and some restaurants.
The weather is mainly a temperate climate and far more comfortable than that of the south coast where it can get uncomfortably hot in peak season.
The latest census population figures for the year 2000 show 607 residents.
Agriculture is the main economy of the area. Oak acorn had been used in paint production for a long time but this has now ceased due to the introduction of synthetic paints. There are now only two acorn storage places left.
Although there is a sea shore nearby there is no port or pier for fishing boats. As a result there is not a great deal of fishing here in terms of industry. If you compare Tavakli with other villages, it is financially in a good position. It has the capacity of a small municipality.
There are summer houses around Tavakli village. As a result there are some social establishments that provide job opportunities to the villagers and make Tavakli a more attractive place to live. Although not a major tourist area this unspoiled region of Turkey does benefit from local tourism in the summer months. The waters of the sea are unpolluted and the sea is crystal clear and a pleasure to swim in.
After acorn production the main agricultural emphasis switched to olive oil production. Most of the land in and around the village is not level and is suitable for the growing of olive trees. The olive oil production factories provide a good seasonal income resource for the young people in the village. Researchers into olive oil production have established that this is one of the best quality of olives for the purposes of olive oil production. Within the village there are four separate olive oil production factories where the olives are picked and processed all in the same day.
In the flat surrounding areas of Tavakli the main agricultural produce is that of fruit such as apricot, plumbs, pears, apples, peaches, honeydew melon, water melon, tomatoes and for vegetables cauliflower, peppers, beans, wheat, broad beans and chic peas. There are also almond trees which do not contribute much financially but do add to the greenery of the area.
Once upon a time there were vineyards here. A few families still produce grapes for the purposes of wine production. There is also cattle, sheep and goat farming but if you compare this with other villages in and around Ezine this is small by comparison.
From a historical perspective the ancient site of Alexander Troas is nearby and there is another ancient city site of Kolonai which is less well known but has not been excavated yet so consequently there is nothing to see.

- Pros:Nice traditional village only 3km away from the beach
- In a nutshell:Peaceful, stress free, a place to chill out.

Few composers have gotten as much attention with only a few minutes of music as Harry Escott, the British composer whose moody, throbbing score to Steve McQueen's "Shame" put him on the map after years of somewhat under-the-radar work. The London-born Escott was a chorister as a child at Westminster Cathedral, before going on to study at the Royal College of Music and Oxford University, where he decided to go into composition for film. To begin with, Escott worked alongside Molly Nyman, the daughter of the legendary Michael Nyman ("The Piano"), their first collaboration being a fairly high-profile one; the terrific, lyrical fairy-tale score for David Slade's debut "Hard Candy." This brought them to the attention of Michael Winterbottom, who hired them for his docu-dramas "The Road To Guantanamo" and "A Mighty Heart," with the documentary "Deep Water" also following. And one of their most important works came in 2008, with "Shifty," the directorial debut of Eran Creevy. The excellent British drama (not seen much in the U.S., sadly), starring Riz Ahmed and Daniel Mays, sees a real shift of mood, with an almost folktronica feel. Capable of being both light-hearted and menacing, and performed by Escott's ensemble The Samphire Band, it's one of the more delicate and undervalued scores of recent years. That led to further strong work with "I Am Slave" and "The Arbor," before Escott went solo to work on "Shame," his bookending pieces (while reminiscent of Hans Zimmer's "The Thin Red Line" score in places) for that picture were among the most memorable bits of film music of that year. Next up is a reteam with Creevy on the actioner "Welcome To The Punch," with James McAvoy and Mark Strong -- a terrific, propulsive collection of music picking up all the best bits of recent action scores (Zimmer's again a touchstone) and blending it with Vangelis-y synths. It should put Escott even further on the map than he was before.
If you've been paying attention, you know we've been championing Fall On Your Sword for several months now; they've become the go-to indie film composers of late and it's easy to see why. The duo are made up of multi-media composer Will Bates, and Phil Mossman, who worked with David Holmes on the "Out Of Sight" and "Ocean's Eleven" soundtracks before going on to be the founding guitarist in LCD Soundsystem (he also plays with Primal Scream on occasion). Based out of a studio in Williamsburg, their moody and often effervescent scores got early exposure in indies like "Another Earth" and Ry Russo-Young's "You Won't Miss Me." In 2012, they had a banner year writing awesome pieces for Russo-Young's "Nobody Walks," "Lola Versus" and "28 Hotel Rooms" that are all distinctively theirs, but also show some range. Twinged with an electronic-hum, but never quite electronic-music per se, "Lola Versus" has a sweet ebullient vibe, "Nobody Walks" is alternatively dreamy, pulsating and atmospherically romantic like a night swim, and "28 Hotels" is propulsive, heavier and dramatic (which fits the subject matter of two adults weighing the pros and cons of their affair). Perhaps more importantly, the composers seems to have terrific range – one can imagine them jumping from any genre back and forth effortlessly, but they do seem to thrive in moody indie pictures where introspection and the inner-life are king. In fact, they are often giving the expression of this manifesting emotion to characters and we can't wait to hear what they do next -- on the way is "An Unkindness Of Ravens," while Bates scored Alex Gibney's Sundance Wikileaks doc "We Steal Secrets" solo. The pair also play occasional live shows with a full band.
You might well recognize the name (even if you probably can't spell it) at this point. The 40-year-old Korzeniowski has been bubbling under for the last few years, but a recent Sundance flick has brought him to back to the attention of many. Born in Krakow in 1972, Korzeniowski (who comes from a family of musicians), trained at the Academy of Music in Krakow, under the great Krzysztof Penderecki, whose music has been used famously in "The Exorcist," "The Shining" and "Shutter Island," among others. Korzeniowski went into film composing at home after graduating, with his first notable work being "Big Animal," the 2000 film directed by Jerzy Stuhr, based on an unmade script by Krzysztof Kieslowski. Further work in Poland followed, including "An Angel In Krakow" and "Tomorrow's Weather," as well as a new score for Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" in 2004. But it was "Contagion" and "Side Effects" writer Scott Z Burns who brought him to the attention of the U.S., picking Korzeniowski to score his hugely underrated directorial debut, the HBO movie "Pu-239," starring Paddy Considine, Radha Mitchell and Oscar Isaac (as well as his follow-up, the short "What We Take From Each Other"). Lower profile work followed, in indies "Tickling Leo" and "Confessions Of A Go-Go Girl," before his demo reel made it into the hands of fashion designer Tom Ford, who was looking for a composer for his directorial debut "A Single Man." The outstanding film, starring Colin Firth, immediately marked Korzeniowski as someone to watch; its lush, deeply romantic orchestral score is a perfect fit for the subject matter. Since then, Korzeniowski's been selective about taking on work (he was at one point going to score John Cameron Mitchell's "Rabbit Hole," but it never came to pass), with only one major film released in the meantime, Madonna's "W.E." Still, his music there is one of the few highlights of a borderline unwatchable film, showing he could elevate the material if necessary. Another year or so passed, but Korzeniowski resurfaced at Sundance last month, with the score to "Escape From Tomorrow." One of the buzz films of the festival, it tells the story of a family man losing his grip on sanity during an annual trip to Disneyland, and Korzeniowski's score (which you can already listen to on Spotify or iTunes) nods cannily to classic Disney scores of the past. Strangely enough, he told First Showing recently that it came about because his wife was the nanny to director Randy Moore's kids when they first moved to L.A. As far as we know, he's doesn't have anything lined up, but hopefully "Escape From Tomorrow" will serve as a reminder of his immense talents.
Honorable Mentions: We've also enjoyed recent work by Jonathan Goldsmith, who did an undervalued job on Sarah Polley's "Take This Waltz" and "Stories We Tell," and Jeff Grace, whose credits include "Meek's Cutoff" and "The Innkeepers." We're also excited to hear more music from Dan Romer & Benh Zeitlin, whose score to "Beasts of the Southern Wild" was one of last year's musical highlights, though we suspect that it won't come until Zeitlin directs again. We're also looking forward to another score from the Chemical Brothers after their superb work on "Hanna" -- the British dance legends were set to score Louis Letterier's "Now You See Me," but it's not happening in the end. The same goes for Austin post-rockers Explosions In The Sky. They're no newcomers to scores -- they soundtracked a lot of the music in the original "Friday Night Lights" movie, but we haven't heard from them on the soundtrack front since then until "Prince Avalanche" at Sundance this year along with composer David Wingo. As those who heard it firsthand, you can almost guarantee that's going to be on our list of the best scores of 2013 at the end of the year. While he's younger than any on this list -- he's only 31 -- we thought that prodigy Nico Muhly, who worked on "The Reader," "Margaret" and Sundance flick "Kill Your Darlings," among others, might be too established to crop up here. And we're expecting big things from Rob Simonsen, who's been working with Mychael Danna in recent years, and made a bit splash at Sundance this year with his scores to "The Spectacular Now" and "The Way Way Back." And our most anticipated score of 2013, sound unheard, might be M83's work on the Tom Cruise sci-fi flick "Oblivion," which will arrive in April.

Apple, which revolutionized the music industry over a decade ago with the iPod, is buying headphone maker Beats Electronics for $3 billion in a deal that will help it compete in the streaming music business.
The deal, the largest in Apple's history, is expected to close before the end of September. Apple said on Wednesday it will pay $2.6 billion in cash and another $400 million that will vest over time.
Apple is counting on the Beats acquisition to boost its cachet with teenagers and younger adults while trying to remain a leader in digital music — an industry that looks much different than when Apple reshaped the scene with the 2001 debut of the iPod.
Founded by rapper and producer Andre Young (aka Dr. Dre) and music mogul Jimmy Iovine, Beats Electronics is a key vendor in the premium headphone market. Apple reportedly began talks to buy the company in early May. Both Young and Iovine will join Apple as part of the deal.
"Iovine and Dre are kindred souls of Apple," Apple CEO Tim Cook told CNBC in an interview.
Beats' profit margins in the headphone market may be substantial. A pair of its high-end headphones retail for as much as $450, but production costs across the brand run only about $14 a pair, according to The New York Times. With $1.1 billion in revenue last year, Beats is already making money and will boost Apple's earnings once the new fiscal year begins in October, Apple said.
Beats also recently entered the streaming music business—placing it in head-to-head competition with much larger veteran rivals Pandora and Spotify.
Recently, some were speculating the music streaming business—around 100,000 subscribers to competitor Spotify's 10 million—actually knocked $200 million off Apple's initial offer.
The growing popularity of music streaming services has been reducing sales of songs and albums, a business that iTunes has dominated for the past decade. U.S. sales of downloaded songs slipped 1 percent last year to $2.8 billion while streaming music revenue surged 39 percent to $1.4 billion, according to the Recording Industry Association of America.

As somebody who typically can see the gray in any black-and-white situation, there aren't a lot of things I say with absolute certitude. This is one of them: "American Experience" is the best show on television.
Now, you might disagree, and we might argue, and in the end neither of us will change our mind. But I'll still be right.
Anyway, the latest installment in the PBS documentary series aired last week. It was called "1964" and, as you might imagine, it was about the year 1964. That was the year of The Beatles, and the Civil Rights Act, and The War on Poverty, and The Great Society, and Johnson vs. Goldwater, and Cassius Clay becoming Muhammad Ali — both in name and cultural significance.
And while each of those examples created ripples that still reverberate today, something about the documentary resonated in a surprising fashion: "1964" wasn't a time capsule, it was a mirror. It was a reflection of many of the arguments and many of the political battles that dot today's landscape.
"For the young conservatives, LBJ was over the top; it was terrifying," recalls conservative activist Richard A. Viguerie. "We felt we could see our world slipping away from us. We wanted to change that."
Or, as historian Lee Edwards recalls, "Johnson was going to do away with poverty, he was going to educate everybody, everybody was going to have a house, everybody was going to have a TV set. And, of course, the price tag for all of this was going to be billions and billions of dollars."
If that doesn't sound familiar, then you haven't been listening to the echo chamber conservatives have inhabited for the past five years. Some day, I'm guessing, the grandchildren of 1960s conservatives will be trotted out for a documentary to talk about how terrifying Barack Obama was to them.
In 1964, the response was to enlist Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater to run for president. "We wanted a real conservative who would stand up for real American and conservative principles," activist Phyllis Schlafly recalls.
You know, things such as limited government, individual freedom, free enterprise, and strong national defense. "Those were not only conservative ideas, those were American ideas," Edwards says. Yes they were, and they are. And the debate within the Republican party is still being held today between the Tea Party and "establishment" Republicans. But for those who insist that the modern party needs to become more conservative, 1964 offers an abject lesson: Johnson retained the presidency with 61.1 percent of the vote.
Powers of persuasion
Yet that isn't the only portrait from 1964 that encapsulates the modern political landscape. Also of interest was Johnson's ability to push the Civil Rights Act through Congress. As author Rick Perlstein says, Johnson had an "unbelievable power to sway legislators. He had this politician's gift for knowing exactly what each person he was trying to persuade's vulnerabilities were, and it would hit them like a jack-hammer."
Johnson, through 12 years in the House and 12 years in the Senate prior to becoming vice president, had developed a legendary ability to cajole and prod fellow lawmakers to get what he wanted. Did you ever wonder why NASA is nonsensically located in Houston? It's because of the Texas native's powers of persuasion.
So, while "1964" was detailing Johnson's ability to twist arms, showing a series of pictures with him in the face of some overmatched legislator, I thought about Obama and his lack of persuasiveness.
When Obama first ran for president, I thought it was pretentious for somebody with scant legislative experience to seek the office. Soaring rhetoric is one thing; political acumen is quite another.
So, yes, 1964 remains more relevant than I could have imagined. As Perlstein said: "The left and right were ready to kill each other over the meaning of the same word — freedom." Some things never change.

I'm placing several NextGen galleries onto one page using shortcodes — the actual placement of the galleries is not a problem.
The problem is when you click on any image to bring up the lightbox (I'm using slimbox) the first image in the gallery opens fine, but all of the galleries on the page are linked together.
For example, let's say I have 3 galleries each with 10 images. When I click on gallery #2 the lightbox opens and shows image 11 of 30.
Is there an option to not have the galleries link together? I've looked and searched, but can't find anything. Thanks.

I'm one of those people who will go out of her way to use a coupon, take a survey just to get the promised freebie, and compare prices on an item until her head hurts. So I was thinking the other day, If I wasn't on the Boundless staff, what would I do to come to Pursuit 2014 and get the most bang for my buck?
I did some research and considered my own experience (having lived in Colorado Springs for over nine years) to come up with these money-saving tips. I hope you find them helpful as you consider joining us at Pursuit this summer!
1. Booking your flight
When: Don't book too early or too late. FareCompare.com says airlines don't start releasing cheaper seats until three to four months before departure for domestic travel and conversely four to five months before international travel. I usually try to purchase a flight at least two months in advance.
Where: It is usually cheaper to fly in and out of Denver (DEN) than Colorado Springs (COS). Discount airlines such as Southwest or Spirit both fly in and out of DEN. Also keep in mind that DEN is a hub for United and Frontier.
2. Getting from the airport to your hotel
Shuttle: A couple of modestly priced shuttle options from either DEN or COS include Colorado Springs Shuttle and Front Range Shuttle. Front Range Shuttle drops off and picks up at Hilton Garden Inn, which is within walking-distance from Focus on the Family — a great option if you want to avoid renting a car.
Car rental: Hotel Eleganté has an on-site car rental with a discounted rate for hotel guests (approximately 25 percent off regular prices). They offer a complimentary shuttle to/from COS.
3. Getting around town
Walking: Homewood Suites and Hilton Garden Inn are the two closest hotels to Focus on the Family. Bring comfortable shoes and an umbrella in case of rain, and you can save money on top of preparing for the Pursuit 5K Run/Walk.
Public transportation: I don't know anyone in Colorado Springs who regularly uses public transportation, and there's probably a reason for that. Yet if that is an option you'd like to learn more about, go here. The closest bus stop to Focus on the Family is at Explorer and Research.
Taxi: Estimate the cost of taking a taxi at Yellow Cab Company of Colorado Springs.
Car rental: Hotel Eleganté has an on-site car rental with a discounted rate for hotel guests (approximately 25 percent off regular prices).
4. Meals
You would likely be spending money on food whether you were at home or at Pursuit, so this expense is a bit of a wash. Yay! Near Focus on the Family are restaurants with a variety of offerings, so set a budget and stick to it. Order water; skip the appetizer and dessert. Pack some snacks from home to fill the gaps. Also, several hotels in the area offer a complimentary breakfast.
5. Extend your stay
If you're spending money and vacation time to come to Pursuit, get the most out of it by arriving early on Thursday and leaving late on Sunday to enjoy more of Colorado Springs. Some free attractions include Garden of the Gods, United States Air Force Academy, U.S. Olympic Training Center and Compassion International. Pursuit attendees can also receive a discount from Pikes Peak Mountain Bike Tours by mentioning Focus on the Family when making a reservation.
6. Booking your hotel
Book early: The hotels listed on our Travel page have set aside a number of rooms for Pursuit, which means when they're gone, they're gone. Do not wait until the last minute to make your hotel reservation, or you may not get your first choice of places to stay.
Bring a friend or sibling: The quickest and easiest way to cut down your cost to come to Pursuit is to bring a friend — or three friends! Share a hotel, split a rental car, and your final bill will decrease dramatically.
Find a roommate: Join the Pursuit 2014 Facebook event page to connect with other attendees and make travel/hotel arrangements together.
What other money-saving tips can you think of?

Critics say UK aid invested in public-private partnerships could tighten massive agriculture firms' control over the food chain
Chancellor George Osborne confirmed in his autumn statement last week that the UK overseas aid budget would take a hit as the economy contracts. The prime minister, David Cameron, has pledged he will keep the promise made to raise UK aid to 0.7% of gross national income by 2013, to meet UN targets.
With growth forecasts cut, the amount of money going to overseas development will be less than planned but will still represent a substantial increase on previous years. How that extra money should be best spent to alleviate poverty is likely to be the subject of increasing debate, as NGOs work to keep the British public on side.
War on Want, one of the more radical agencies, is highly critical of funding by the Department for International Development for public-private partnerships that may increase the control of agribusiness over the food chain. It points to two projects that have received significant support from DfID. In Tanzania, a public-private partnership called the Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania (Sagcot) aims to bring 350,000 hectares (865,000 acres) of land under agricultural production and generate $2.1bn (£1.3bn) of private-sector investment. Partners include Unilever, drinks companies Diageo and SABMiller, agrochemical companies Monsanto, Syngenta and DuPont, and fertiliser corporation Yara. DfID and other international donors are paying to upgrade the road infrastructure.[view whole blog post ]

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Antihydrophobia Week
An antihydrophobia week was held in Tokyo and its neighboring prefectures, beginning August 1. In Tokyo, the public was instructed by lectures and motion pictures. As many as 6,082 dogs were inoculated; 5,389 dogs were brought in by the authorities; 701 stray dogs were caught; seven dogs were found infected with the disease. The metropolitan police will undertake such a survey every year in cooperation with prefectural authorities. According to the health department of the League of Nations, our government will send a medical expert to the International Antihydrophobia Congress to be held in Paris in April next year.
Nonoccupational Diseases and Injuries of Workers
Dr. B. Koimuna, medical expert in the society bureau of the home department, has published investigations on nonoccupational diseases and injuries of workers. In 471 factories employing 500 or more workers, 162,927 persons lost from work three or more days in a year

OSU football Insider: Plenty of talent in 2010 class
STILLWATER — Mike Gundy's goal of competing for a Big 12 South football title cannot be accomplished without future NFL talent on the field. Recruiting is the foundation of success, and Oklahoma State will add a talented class on Feb. 3. The Cowboys' class is ranked No. 12 nationally by Scout.com, No. 21 nationally by Rivals.com and is unranked by ESPN.com. Quarterback recruits Nate Sorenson of Texarkana, Texas, and Johnny Deaton of Sand Springs have received plenty of attention. They are expected to compete for the Cowboys' starting quarterback spot as freshmen. Here's a closer look at OSU's class and other members of the group that should excite Cowboy fans as much as Deaton and Sorenson:
Potential immediate impacts→Defensive tackle Calvin Barnett, Tulsa Washington. The 6-foot-3, 300-pound Army All-American is orally committed to the Cowboys but visited Arkansas last weekend. He told GoPokes.com he expects to visit OSU this weekend. The latter is a good sign for the Cowboys since securing his signature is likely their biggest concern with recruiting winding down. Barnett's physical ability is unquestioned — he proved it in the Army All-American game — and he'll likely play right away. →Linebacker Shaun Lewis, Fort Bend (Texas) Hightower: The 6-1, 205-pound UnderArmour All-American is an explosive playmaker. He has the physical skills to step in at the linebacker position manned by Andre Sexton the past few seasons. A sideline-to-sideline playmaker who could have an impact on special teams also. →Cornerback Malcolm Murray, Mt. San Antonio (Calif.) C.C.. The 6-2, 205-pounder comes in with great size and athleticism at a position of dire need for the Cowboys. Expect Murray — a junior college transfer with three years of eligibility — to play early and often in 2010.
Keep an eye on...→Running back Joseph Randle, Wichita (Kan.) Southeast. The 6-0, 180-pounder is the type of versatile offensive playmaker who can prosper in Dana Holgorsen's system. Houston had back-to-back Conference USA freshmen of the year at running back, and both players, Bryce Beall and Charles Sims, were versatile runners. They made teams pay with catches out of the backfield, leaving them one-on-one with defenders.
Overlooked gem→Defensive back Zack Craig, Spring Branch (Texas) Smithson Valley: The 6-2, 172-pounder doesn't have a great offer list and doesn't receive daily praise from the recruiting experts, but he's a playmaker with enthusiasm. An underrated athlete, Craig is very fluid and quick for his size.
Long term prospect→Defensive end Joseph Okafor, Houston (Texas) Bellaire: The 6-6, 231-pounder will need some time to add some pounds and absorb Bill Young's coaching. But he has excellent athleticism and would provide tons of potential to become a big-time defensive end in the Big 12.

Don't let foot problems sideline your fitness goals.
You've finally started that exercise program, and you're beginning to feel the excitement of a healthy new lifestyle.
But just as you're getting into the workout "zone," you're sidelined with achy feet -- corns, calluses, blisters, maybe even an injury that not only compromises your fitness goals but can make even waiting for the bus feel like you're standing on a bed of nails.
"The small foot problems that probably don't make much of difference at other times can suddenly become a very big deal when you begin putting significant stress on your feet, as you do when you're starting an exercise program," says podiatrist Dominic Catanese, DPM, director of the Podiatry Service at Montefiore Medical Center in New York.
And if you suffer from diabetes, experts say, even seemingly insignificant foot woes can turn into major medical problems if you're not careful.
"When blood sugar isn't under good control you can develop neuropathy -- a lack of feeling in the feet that can prevent you from recognizing both the early warning signs of trouble, as well as when the problems themselves occur," says Morris Morin, DPM, chairman of the Department of Podiatry at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey.
This, combined with compromised circulation in the lower extremities, can also make it harder for even a simple foot injury to heal. "It can end up sidelining you for weeks or even months," says Morin.
The good news is that over time, feet can get used to new stresses, allowing skin to grow thicker and tougher so fewer problems occur.
In the meantime, there are steps you can take to reduce the risk of common workout-related foot problems and keep your feet feeling healthy and happy.
To help you put your best foot forward, WebMD asked three top foot specialists for advice. Here are five things they said you should know.
1. Don't Skimp on Footwear
It's hard to walk through you favorite discount emporium and not stop at those tables of sneakers piled high, selling for such a low price. But buy them, say experts, and your feet will pay.

ok, bumping this b/c no one has responded to my previous question.
I also got another one to ask, does golden cheetah have the ability to calculate aerobic decoupling? If so, is it embedded into the program or do you have to import a script for it?

Yes it does calculate aerobic decoupling and it is embedded into the program.

nice! I really like gc. I've never used wko+, but gc does everything I need it to. I wish it could calculate decoupling for a certain interval, but it only does the entire ride, so if you do a cooldown it throws it off. You can just calculate it on your own though if it is really important to you, which isn't that hard.

Guess when it is raining hard I'll just use other wheels.
Just a note that PerfPRO does all the calculations either by interval/lap, whole ride, multiple rides or any range you select.
yes, i think usually when talking about heartrate drift (at least this time of year), it's in reference to hour+ efforts around aerobic threshold.
Anybody do manual calculations of CTL, ATL, and TSB? Golden Cheetah has a similar thing, but i somehow don't trust it. For example, for my FTP test, my NP was 283, but GC gave a xPower of 272. I'm thinking of doing the rolling average stuff on excel & just monitor it that way.
Alternatively, if anyone has a conversion of the GC metrics to the WKO+ metrics on stress, that'd also be helpful.
there are some smart guys working on GC. i don't know what the differences are between its calculations and WKO's, but it probably doesn't matter much anyway (for most of us). using it consistently and learning what the #s mean to you and how you perform, are probably much more critical.
for setting FTP, since you have the NP (from a 60' race effort, i'm guessing?), use the 283w value and see how the workouts based on that feel.
The FTP is actually from a 20 minute test. Not sure if you are familiar with Rout 9W in NJ, but i basically thought i could fit the entire 20 minutes on a route with a very slight incline of 0.5%. Trouble being that there were some downhill stretches where it's hard to go above 230W and then at the 18th minute, a big elevation change (300 ft in the next half mile or something) was approaching. So i actually did a U-turn at the 18th minute and looped back. Alas, i'll be using my average and not normalized power. Besides, i can claim larger gains when i test my FTP on a more reasonable course (say Central Park, which is basically off limits this week due to the marathon))
GC always shows lower NP (or xPower) numbers. It's just calculated differently. Like most things PM, repeatability is more important than absolute accuracy.
And I'm not a big fan of normalized power for anything other than load tracking anyway. It DEFINITELY should not be used for FTP estimation.
My xPower always comes out lower on my 20' tests than my AP, so I generally default to using AP.

Also, say when I'm doing an endurance ride, the zone for which is between 142-190W, what's a good final average power to shoot for? I'm finding it hard to keep the average power (156 AP, 168 NP) up despite trying to hold it between 170-190W for most of the time. This pacing thing is gonna take me quite a bit to get used to...
it's not just you. learning to keep the power steady is one thing, but even when you've got that down, you're bound to hit lights/stop signs/traffic/etc, at least around here. so, I've stopped worrying about it, and I pay less attention to the AP, and more attention to the total amount of time spent in the zone. my power is very variable (working on that), so e.g. for a 4hr endurance ride, I may only see 3hrs spent actually in zone 2. probably 20 minutes of that "lost hour" is in zone 3/4, another 15 minutes lost at various traffic inconveniences (lights, heavy traffic, etc), and the rest is just me losing focus and dipping in to zone 1.Also, say when I'm doing an endurance ride, the zone for which is between 142-190W, what's a good final average power to shoot for? I'm finding it hard to keep the average power (156 AP, 168 NP) up despite trying to hold it between 170-190W for most of the time. This pacing thing is gonna take me quite a bit to get used to...
edit: my point is that for a zone 2 ride, you may be better off aiming for a % of time in the right zone, rather than an AP. i'd think that 80%+ in zone is pretty decent, for anything over 3 hours.

slynkie, thanks for the suggestions.
I think it'd be easier for workouts in other zones given that you are already at SST & going to FTP power over a bump won't throw things off. Though it amazes me that it might take 300W or more to go over small bumps at 15mph.

Simple ankle length wedding dresses Miami
Are you planning a beach wedding or just a simple wedding ceremony near the ocean or perhaps in a more natural exotic or not set?
The perhaps you might want to take a look at these pictures with simple ankle length wedding dresses that can inspire you in choosing your own. Nowadays most modern brides are choosing to follow the simple path when it comes to wedding dress styles. The simplicity can be found in most contemporary wedding dress designs made by famous or less famous wedding dress designers.
The whole bridal beauty, elegance, innocence and refinement lies in the simplicity of the wedding dress. Casual, light-weight, flowing, comfortable, practical, chic, natural and feminine – are the main characteristics or features of a modern wedding dress.
But how many brides are actually willing to sacrifice the tradition of voluminous elaborated wedding gown and choose a simpler wedding dress that's less sophisticated but incredibly elegant, delicate, soft and comfy? How many brides would have the courage to wear a simple ankle length wedding dress on the day?
We all know that the wedding day is the most important days of a bride's life and no one is willing to settle for less. Perhaps in the conventional or modern bride's visions simplicity equals a plain, boring, unattractive and unsuitable look for a wedding.
If you haven't seen already the newest collections of the most famous wedding dress designers like Pronovias, Rosa Clara, Karl Lagerfeld or Nicole Miller, you should browse for a few pictures with 2010 -2011 wedding dresses made by these genius designers.
All these dresses are simple, soft, discreet, dainty and feminine, made from light-weight woolly fabrics, asymmetrical simple cuts and flowing ethereal lines that are capable of making a modern bride feel and look incredibly chic, coquette, romantic and commodious during the day.
The length of the dress is also important in making a bride feel cozy or not. If you're not attracted to the idea of wearing a vintage tea length wedding dress on your wedding day perhaps you should give it a try with a sensual smooth simple ankle length wedding dress.
The ankle length is definitely the most appropriate one for a wedding on a beach, in a garden or anywhere else in the middle of the nature.
The most popular types of simple ankle length wedding dresses that you can find and choose from are: high neck or boat neckline A-line wedding dresses, spaghetti strap wedding dresses, halter wedding dresses, sheath or column style wedding dresses, empire waist wedding dresses, one shoulder Greek style wedding dresses or puffy ball gown wedding dresses meant to suit a more extravagant, fancy and yet playful cheerful wedding.
If you're heading towards a simple Miami Beach wedding then this style might suit you like a glove. Of course, if you have nothing against showing a little bit of your leg's skin and your romantic bridal shoes!11

I'm really, really. really interested in knowing who designed the second blue dress you have posted on the "blue wedding dress page" and where I can get it, Please Help me!!!!!!

Very nice dresses. I believe this kind of dresses are the best dresses for a wedding. Their length suits every woman who wants to feel comfortable on her wedding day. You don't need to hold it when you walk or dance, you don't need to worry about dust or dirt. It also gives you the impression that you are floating and you are able to do everything that you want. And what's more, you can pride yourself with your wedding shoes at any time. I can easily see myself dressed in something like this, on the beach, in a very romantic setting.

Before the New York Knicks settle on finalists for their head coach position, team president Phil Jackson wants to call his own play: Derek Fisher.
Jackson is planning to hold the hiring process until the Knicks can get an audience with Fisher, who is a reserve guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder, with Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals on Monday.

The Minnesota Timberwolves will listen to trade offers for All-Star forward Kevin Love, according to multiple reports.
The team previously was not open to trading Love, but after reports surfaced over the weekend that he does not want a contract extension and will test free agency after next season, the team reportedly has a change of heart.
The Timberwolves are now open to trading Love if the right deal comes along. They are reportedly seeking a high first-round pick in this year's draft and at least one solid veteran player.

2005 Toyota Highlander Reviews
2005 Toyota Highlander Reviews and Owner Comments
Login to Review This Car
2005 Toyota Highlander (7 Reviews)
We bought the car new and it now has 205,000 miles on it. Aside from regular maintenance we replaces the air conditioning condenser at about 150,000 mile. The car is in the shop now for a wheel bearing replacement and a leak at the valve cover. I am having the valves adjusted since the cover will already be off. There is a slight leak in the power steering but the quoted cost for fixing this is very expensive. I expect to get a second opinion and quote. All in all we are very pleased with the Highlander. The interior is in excellent condition and aside from a few dings the outside is in good shape as well. We expect to drive it to (or past) 300,000 miles.
Bought new in 2005 v6 AWD Toyota Highlander, now have 148,000 miles. Best vehicle i have ever owned, and i have owned a few nice vehicles before and during owning this vehicler. I have replaced regular stuff like tires, pads, rotors, wipers, battery... normal stuff. Other issues have been that something went on with hot/cold knob where it would not turn to cold. i now have a minor, but still existent exhaust leak. My moonroof stopped working at about 100k and i just leave it closed and never bothered to fix it since Toyota wanted $1400 to fix. I do not know why seeing that i could install a moonroof in a car that doesn't have one for about that price. But that is it, i would recommended this vehicle to anyone
Six years old with about 90K. Very reliable and still drives like new. Had to change the battery, timing belt, and a few belts. Best vehicle ever purchased.
Bought new in 2005. Have 132,000 mi and other than servicing , one battery (small one) and one headlamp.... not a bit of trouble. Even haul the boat with it. Its dependable, safe and stylish.
Bought in Feb 2005 now have 234,789 miles on it. Still looks and drives like new. Should not be rated for 7 passengers not enough. room
60k on the car now, was new in June 2005. Looks and runs like new.
great car have not had any problems with it. It is just now beginning to need repairs.

Although it may seem like a small and nondescript item, a shower curtain can dramatically affect the atmosphere of your bathroom. Although some bathtubs and showers, such as clawfoot tubs and corner showers, require unique curtain-hanging techniques, a traditional shower/tub arrangement can also receive a face lift with curved shower curtain rods, alternative curtain attachment methods (such as snaps or velcro) or invisible curtain rods.
Unusual Shower Curtain Rods
The standard straight shower curtain rod isn't the only way to hang your shower curtain. Consider using a curved shower curtain rod, which also provides more arm room, for a standard shower or an oval-shaped rod for a freestanding bathtub. There are also L-shaped corner rods available that are ideal for smaller showers. A ceiling shower rod extends all the way to the ceiling and provides a look that is similar to a full glass shower exterior. You might also consider using alternative shower rod materials, such as bamboo, bronze and chrome, to accentuate the atmosphere of your bathroom design.
Velcro, Snaps and Buttons
Instead of using a shower curtain rod to hang your shower curtain, consider alternative hanging methods. For example, you might mount a piece of wooden trim to the ceiling outside your shower, in the same place that a shower curtain would usually go. Then you can staple or glue snap backs, velcro or buttons to the trim, as well as the top of the shower curtain, so they can be attached.
Rod Alternatives
If attaching velcro, snaps or buttons to your ceiling and shower curtain seems like an inconvenient idea but you really don't like the idea of a shower curtain, you could also consider alternative "rod" solutions. For example, the hidden shower curtain rod in Andrew Wormers "New Bathroom Idea Book" uses a standard rod hidden in a recessed shower entrance frame. Again, this idea requires a lot of work and is ideal for those who are renovating or building a new bathroom. A retractable shower rod extends during baths or showers and then retracts when not in use, which minimizes shower rod appearance. Alternatively, you could use twine, heavy string or a clothesline to hang your curtain. If you use these materials, be sure to choose a lightweight curtain to avoid collapse.
