What kind of pain are we talking about today and how common is it?
Dr. Richard Tallarico: For patients with spinal stenosis, the typical pain they have is called neurogenic claudication. Neurogenic claudication, or intermittent claudication, is a symptom in which patients standing erect tend to have pain radiating in the low part of their back into their buttocks and often down their legs. Intermittent lumbar radiculopathy is another form of symptom pathology that we see with patients with lumbar spinal stenosis and that will sometimes radiate into one leg or the other. Patients tend to get relief when they flex forward into a seated position, or a stooped posture, and that's because with that type of pain syndrome they are taking pressure off the nerves in the flex position and when they are standing erect they are dealing with pinching of the nerves in the low part of the back and that's what creates their symptoms.
So it's a spine problem, but that's not where the pain is?
Dr. Richard Tallarico: Often times, stenosis will radiate. It can radiate into the lower part of the back, which is the portion of the spine that is involved. So, when we are talking about lumbar spinal stenosis, we can get radiation into the back, buttocks and down the legs. And the reason patients have pain radiating down the legs is because it is actually affecting the nerves that are traveling through the spinal column in the lower part of the back.
And how common is this?
Dr. Richard Tallarico: Very common. It's the most common problem we treat in both males and females in the 50 to 70 age range.
Can younger people have it?
Dr. Richard Tallarico: Absolutely. We see it as early as 30's and 40's. There are some people who have developmentally narrow spinal canals. But primarily this is an acquired problem which happens with degeneration of the spine and the most common age group would be somewhere in 50's to 70's, but we do see it in 40 year olds as well.
And you can spot this on an MRI?
Dr. Richard Tallarico: Imaging studies, x-rays, MRI images are the most useful. We can sometimes see areas of degeneration in a lumbar spine on an x-ray and something called spondylolisthesis, with is a little bit of slippage in the lumbar spine. But the most sensitive of tests for picking up lumbar spinal stenosis is with an MRI.
Some people get back pain and they say the doctors can't figure out what it is, but this one sounds like a problem you can detect?
Dr. Richard Tallarico: There are many sources of back pain, but this would be the most common complaint presenting to our office and it's the one that we diagnose most commonly. So, anyone who presents to our office with back pain complaints particularly if they have back pain radiating elsewhere in the buttocks or legs we have a high suspicion for lumbar spinal stenosis. We'll usually warrant other tests such as an MRI and for those patients that can't have an MRI, because they have a pacemaker in place or something along that line, we can also make the diagnose with a CT myelogram.
What's the usual treatment for this?
Dr. Richard Tallarico: The usual treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis is conservative management. Combination of anti-inflammatory medication, physical therapy, and sometimes injection, spinal injection such as epidural steroid injections can be useful.
If none of those work, or stop working, for a patient what are their options before this trial?
Dr. Richard Tallarico: So, standard treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis has been laminectomy, which is a decompressive procedure that takes pressure off the lower part of the back by removing part of the bone in the back of the spinal canal to convert the spinal canal from a bony constricting ring to more of an open space. And that has been the gold standard of treatment for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. Sometimes it requires a fusion, which is a more aggressive or invasive procedure and although these procedures have very high success rates they are often fraught with problems down the road where we have to consider redoing it because the stenosis can return, or fusing their spine because there is some form of instability with removing portions of the bony spinal column.
So, this is a major surgery?
Dr. Richard Tallarico: This is a much more invasive surgery and, because of all the downfalls to decompressive laminectomy and decompressive laminectomy with fusion, we're seeking out alternative options that would decrease the morbidity related to these types of procedures.
What is the length of recovery with the decompression?
Dr. Richard Tallarico: It varies. It's always based on individuals, but it is a more invasive procedure that requires us to split the muscles of the low back, which are the para-spinal muscles, which are instrumental in allowing us to stand erect. Most patients deal with discomfort in that region for six to twelve weeks after a more formal procedure. There's more blood loss, higher rates of infection and because of that there tend to be longer hospital stays. Because of the pain in their back related to the incision, patients tend to have a harder time getting up and mobilizing so they spend a little more time in the hospital and overall length of recovery is a little bit longer.
So, tell me about this new treatment that you are studying?
Dr. Richard Tallarico: In order to try and minimize the insult to the patient with surgery and minimize their time in the hospital and improve their recovery we are looking for alternative procedures to try to cut down on the risks and obtain overall results and also give them better longevity down the road where we don't always have to go back in and do aggressive redo surgeries, which is very common in this patient population. There's been a lot of interest in interspinous spacer technologies which are more minimally invasive type procedures where the neuro elements aren't actually exposed and there is no bone removed from the back of the spinal canal. What we do in effect is spread the spinal canal open by recreating a flex position in the spine by stretching the bony elements of the spine open and placing a wedge in that area. This wedge is secured within that inter space and it allows the spine to remain in a flex position mimicking the sitting position, in which most patients get complete relief of their symptoms. So, the appropriate candidate for this procedure is one in which they stay standing for any period of time or ambulating for any period of time creates radiating symptoms in their back or down their legs. The patients that say when they sit they get complete relief of their symptoms those patients are appropriate candidates. What we are doing, therefore, is target those patients that get relief by forward flexing. We are locking the spine in a forward flex position to try and take the pressure off the nerve element. Currently, we are investigating a device from Vertiflex called Superion, which is the newer generation of these devices. We're able to place percutaneously, so we're able to do this with less blood loss, smaller incisions and get the same effect of spreading the spine open and taking pressure off the nerve indirectly without exposing the nerve elements, without cutting away a lot of muscle or tissue, without fusing the spine. So, it's what we consider a motion preservation, a motion sparing device.
What makes this spacer different than the other spacers?
Dr. Richard Tallarico: There are other spacers on the market. Currently this is the only one we are able to place percutaneously through a small skin incision directly from the back, so it's easier on patients. It takes less time and this device has the ability to open up the spinal canal with very small surgical incisions.
How long is a typical procedure?
Dr. Richard Tallarico: A typical procedure depends on how many levels we are treating. In this study, we can treat symptomatic spinal stenosis from one or two levels. Typically, it takes from 15 minutes to one half hour per spinal level. Most surgeries are done within an hour and most patients go home the next day.
The recovery time is much shorter with this, right?
Dr. Richard Tallarico: It is shorter than typical standard open procedures. Depending how involved the procedure is, if it's decompression alone vs. decompression and fusion. Some of those procedures can be quite extensive and can have very lengthy recovery times even up to a year. The interspinous spacer placement, particularly with the Vertiflex, allows us to get patients up and moving right away. The bulk of the recovery has occurred within the first few weeks.
Does the patient feel relief right away?
Dr. Richard Tallarico: Most patients with this type of problem will notice relief immediately, because remember we are mimicking the flexed spinal position and the patient is completely asymptomatic in that position, so what happens is that as soon as they stand erect they're no longer pinching the nerves and they notice the first time they walk, or stand for a long period of time, that the pain that they usually endure after standing for a short while is no longer there. And what they'll say is that they can stand longer or walk longer distances without having that symptom and that's the disabling part of this problem. Patients, after they walk a certain distance or stand for a long period of time, are immediately looking for somewhere to sit. So, they have a hard time standing in line with bags, they have a hard time walking to sporting events or anything that requires them to be upright without having an opportunity to sit really creates trouble for them. That's how this problem becomes functionally disabling.
How disabling can it be?
Dr. Richard Tallarico: In the most aggressive forms patients can't stand or walk for more than a few minutes, so it's very functionally disabling. They can be very comfortable seated and you would not know that they had much of a problem when sitting down and eating a meal, or just having a chat with them, but as soon as they are up and walking you can notice that they are immediately looking for a place to sit. It's as simple as examining a patient in an exam room and asking them to walk the length of the room and they immediately want to sit right away. Those are the most symptomatic patients. There is a varying degree of symptoms. With the more mild forms patients say they can't walk more than a mile or whatnot. Typically, for patients who want to be active and lead healthy lifestyles this problem progresses at a rate that really slows them down. Usually, at that point they come for help.
This study is randomized, so you can't tell the patient if he is getting the device. So how does the randomizing work?
Dr. Richard Tallarico: The typical process for someone who thinks they might be suffering from spinal stenosis and the symptoms of intermittent neurogenic claudication, or lumbar radiculopathy, would typically set up a consultation with a spine surgeon in their area and have their problem evaluated with an examination, history taking and then imaging studies. Once a diagnosis has been made, we look to find whether or not the patient is appropriate for enrollment in the study. Again, depending whether or not they have complete relief of the symptom when seated, whether or not they meet the FDA's criteria for inclusion in the study, such as their age being appropriate, not a lot of other medical issues. Once we determine their candidacy is appropriate we offer them enrollment in the study. This is an FDA approved IDE study which is an Investigative Device Exemption Study. Once they choose to enroll they have to understand this is a randomized process. So, during the randomization process we are comparing the Superion device from Vertiflex vs. the X-Stop device. What happens is they are one-to-one randomized so that we will have 50% of our patients enrolled in X-Stop and 50% in Superion and then the results over a long period of time will be compared to see if there is a quality, or superiority, of one device over the other.
How much longer will the study go?
Dr. Richard Tallarico: We will be enrolling over the next six months to a year and then we will be following patients for many years. Right now the study is set for two years.
So, if all goes well, how soon will this be available to the public? Is this five years or 10 years into the future for the public?
Dr. Richard Tallarico: Best guess…Maybe three years to market.
So, what effects are you seeing so far? This is not blind. You know what they are getting and you know what patients have received it, so what are the results you are seeing? What are you hearing from patients?
Dr. Richard Tallarico: So far, I have been very pleased with the results. Patients are getting out of the hospital sooner, getting back to their normal life and job sooner and they have been very pleased. We are seeing the vast majority of patients having notable improvement right away after surgery and certainly after two week follow up when we see them back, many are asking to go back to work and getting back to driving and things on those lines. So, I've been very pleased, particularly because I have lots of experience with the more aggressive surgeries and the more invasive procedures and although those patients, on the whole, do well also the recovery is much more difficult. So, it's a longer process and it's really great to be able to see patient get up and go right away.
It seems like an easy surgery to fix a very serious problem.
Dr. Richard Tallarico: Yeah, compared to the options we had in the past this is a much easier way to approach this from both the patient and the surgeon's perspective.
Are you hoping this is a permanent fix? Is that the idea?
Dr. Richard Tallarico: That's difficult to say. We don't have enough information at this point to really see the track record over many years. I think for some people there are some who will not require any further treatment. There are others who will need other procedures down the road, but at this point we are optimistic that it would be a possible long-term solution for patients with spinal stenosis on one or two levels.
What is the age requirement?
Dr. Richard Tallarico: 45 years or older with no upper age limit. The average age in the study right now is 68 years

Clean and comfortable. Friendly hostess. Handy for the Circumvesuviana train station for Napoli, Sorrento and Vesuvius sites. Friendly little neighbourhood shop very handy. Our apartment did not have balcony as claimed - others in the complex did. Some noise from neighbouring flat. Very much enjoyed our stay.
After paying for this apartment in full, I was told only 1 week before travel that it had become 'unavailable', without any further explanation. Not a long time to reorganise accommodation in Rome. I was travelling with my work colleagues to a conference so we had specific room and location requirements. Needless to say there was not much available in our price range at such sort notice. Very disappointing!!!
Cosy and nice appartment near the town. Clean and well worked appartment. When we arrived we didn't know if we were on the right address but a very nice lady came out and met us and showed us in. The lady was supernice and she was very friendly.
Thank you for this time, we hope to see you again!
We had a very nice stay in Supetar! The apartment was only 100m from the promenade, the apartment was clean and we had a beautiful view from the balcony overlooking the town and sea.
Ivo and his mother where very kind, she even surprised us with a homemade apfelstrudel!
We can recommend this apartment to anyone thinking of staying in Supetar!
Clean and a good restaurant!
The position of the apartment is very good. The apartment could use a brush up. I am very angry that they charge 80 € for final cleaning. The apartment was very dirty and the bathroom was filthy. The bathroom was full of mould fungus and the door to the bathroom had not been cleaned for years, it was black from dirt on the lower part. There was a lot of big stains on the bed covers, they had not been cleaned for a long time. The price for this apartment is way too high when it is so dirty. Today, 4 days after we left, me and my daughter still have problems with our respiration.
After paying for this property I got an email a few days later saying that there had been a double booking and my booking was not valid.
The company were polite and efficient and I got my refund within a few days, but it was disappointing.
Booked a hotel instead.
It was a fantanstic stay in the apartment in Le Ginestre.
The beach is very nice and in the town are a few supermarkets.
Unfortunately was the wifi (we had to pay for that) not so well, in our apartment we had no signal.
The floor was dusty. Apartment is on the 5th floor without lift (no information on description) Be carefull for additional costs (bed linen, towels, taxes) Cleaning charged per person !!!! Wifi very expensive (24 Euro per week for 1GB) You must pickup and drop key 1,2 miles from apartment. Excellent furnitures on desciption - just typical table with chairs and sofa (nothing special) You must defrozen refrigerator but you cannot turn off. Huge PLUS - location !!!
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Feb. 22, 2003
TUCSON - Stephanie Nicholson's grand slam home run in the bottom of the sixth gave Oklahoma State an eight-run victory over Virginia, 11-3.
Ruby Rojas' home run with two outs in the top of the first gave UVA the lead. Oklahoma State came back with a double by Lauren Bay to open the second and after a sacrifice, she scored on an infield ground-out by Stephanie Hodges.
The Cavaliers went back on top in the third. Heather Field singled, moved to third on a bunt single by Jessica Taylor when no one covered the bag, thenscored on a ground ball by Rojas.
A one-out single by Jade Lindly and an unsuccessful try at a force play put runners at first and second for OSU in the bottom of the fourth, then Nicholson hit an infield single to load the bases. Pinch-hitter Calli Behmer drove in a run to tie the game at two apiece by grounding to second.
Virginia regained the lead, 3-2, with an RBI single by Field after Lauren
Dennis singled and stole second in the top of the fifth, but Hodges drove
in one and Nicholson singled in two runs in the bottom of the frame for
another Cowgirls' lead, 5-3. Later, three bases on balls, a hit batter and
a double gave OSU two more runs in the sixth before Nicholson's blast.

The Thirties. The Arts in Italy during Fascism
21 september 2012- 27 January 2013, Palazzo Strozzi
Italy in the 1930s, when Fascism ruled the country, was the scene of an extremely vigorous artistic battle in which every style or trend, from classicism to Futurism, from expressionism to abstract art, and from monumental art to decorative painting for the bourgeois home was involved. The situation was further complicated by the arrival on the scene of design and mass communication posters, radio, the cinema which stole numerous ideas from the 'fine' arts and disseminated them to the public at large. In short, art during the Thirties was a complex and dynamic public workshop, open to international influence, which paved the way for the modern era.

Monday's premiere of "Master Chef" promises some incredible entertainment as the judges and contestants start season 5 of the popular reality show. Tonight Chef Graham Elliot returns as a judge with a surprise for fans. One of our favorite chefs, Graham Elliot has lost over 100 pound since last season. According to the Reality Unwind report on Monday, Chef Gordon Ramsay, restaurateur Joe Bastianich and Chef Graham Elliot return for season five to find the best home cook in America. The three men will taste culinary creations and judge contestants until the final "Masterchef" winner is announced.
Chef Elliot previously weighed almost 400 lbs. and underwent weight loss surgery. He has lost 125 pounds and it makes him look significantly different. He decided to lose weight to improve his health and reverse some health issues that were cropping up. On Monday the Huffington Post reported about the weight loss surgery in July 2013 and how Elliot has been driven to stay healthy for his kids.
Elliot has been posting his weight loss images on his Instagram account to show fans the difference in his size as time progresses. The results are amazing and Elliot can be very proud of his determination to change his health. Many fans of "Masterchef" aren't aware of his weight loss and tonight they may not even recognize this popular chef who is looking fit and trim.
The show will feature 30 contestants coming from all walks of life. There is an advertising executive, stay-at-home-dad, an admissions counselor, an oilman, a student a bakery assistant and an investment counselor, but what they have in common is a passion for cooking great food. According to reports, there will be four New Yorkers represented in the contestant pool. "Masterchef" will put them through severe testing to see how well they can perform under pressure and the three tough judges will not make it easy to pass muster. Tonight, the top 30 finalists compete for the title of "Masterchef," a cookbook deal and the $250,000 grand prize.
Tune in for the premiere of "Masterchef" Monday night at 8 p.m. on FOX.

A United Airlines jet with 348 people on board experienced a very serious emergency over the Pacific Ocean thousands of miles away from the nearest airport when they lost power. The flight was about a third of a way into its 3,800 mile journey from Honolulu to Guam when a burning odor was detected among the passengers and smoke filled the cabin, reports Global Travel Industry News on July 12.
The flight was in serious trouble with nothing but water below them. The cabin was filling with smoke, the controls were malfunctioning and the plane lost power. The prognosis of this flight would have been grim, but there was a little 2.4 square mile remote island in the Pacific that had an emergency landing strip big enough to land the Boeing 777.
The former U.S. Naval station on Midway Island, which is a location often depicted in old war movies, has an airstrip that was left intact for emergency landings. When running into trouble in that neck of the Pacific Ocean, pilots can divert their flights to airstrip, which was the case here. The pilot put the Boeing 777 safely down on that remote airstrip.
NBC News today is calling this a "Shock Landing" because of the seriousness of the emergency landing. The plane was experiencing mechanical problems and landing was the only option. Thankfully aviation experts long ago kept the landing strip at Henderson Field on the island intact for emergency purposes.
This tiny plot of land surrounded by the Pacific Ocean was once a U.S. Naval base, but today it is home to about 40 to 60 United States Wildlife Service members. When United Flight 201 from Honolulu landed safely on the island, the 355 passengers and 12 crew members were visibly happy to be on solid ground.
The people getting off the plane were anxious, with some of the passengers crying and some actually shaking. A few were seen praying after getting off the plane.
Passengers report that when they first boarded the plane in Honolulu there was "peculiar odor" in the passenger cabin. The flight was delayed three hours and then the United Airlines mechanics said the plane was safe to fly.
The smell came back about five hours into the flight, but instead of being on the tarmac where flight mechanics can check out the smell, they were over the Pacific far away from any airports. This turned into a very frightening ordeal for the passengers and most likely the crew.
After the flight touched down on Midway, the passengers got off the plane and led into a gymnasium where they waited hours for another plane to come and get them. Another plane was sent to Midway that picked up the passengers and returned them to Hawaii.
While the passengers were more than a bit shaken by the time the plane landed in Midway, they did land on one of the most historic sites from World War II. This is a place that not too many people get to see.
Midway Island was the site of violent fighting during World War II, a place where many lives were lost in the Battle at Midway, one of the most famous battles to come out of war. The passengers landed on Midway's Henderson Field, which was the site for many troops to land during World War II. Thankfully for the passengers and the crew of Flight 201 from Honolulu it is an emergency landing strip in the Pacific Ocean today.

An oft quoted reference due to his passage on 'the challenge of the still'. After reading George Saintsburys 1920 'Note on a Cellar Book' I picked up 'Drink'. I found it not as accessible as other books of the time (1948) due to my ignorance of classic education. The author has a particular interest in drinking songs, which became a bit waring. He demonstarted an encyclopeadic knowledge of times long past but I was generaly lost.
Difficult to recommend as an easy or casual read.

Manage files on your Apache web server
File Juggler
Access and manage files and documents on your file server or a remote server from the comfort of your browser or Android device.
File servers are commonplace now, and for a good reason: The ability to access important files and documents from anywhere or share them with other users has become a necessity for most of us.
A Linux-based file server lets you access files and documents through a wide variety of protocols, including FTP, Samba, and SSH. However, to make it even easier to manage files on your server, consider deploying the AjaXplorer [1] web-based file manager. This tool allows you to work with files from any web browser and includes a handful of genuinely useful features. AjaXplorer can be installed on any machine running the Apache web server and PHP 5.1, and the entire installation procedure consists of a few relatively simple steps.

Are you aware that the primary cause of disease is the accumulation of unnecessary waste build up in the body? The standard American diet is filled with chemical additives, refined grains and the environment is filled with pollutants, so there is a need to give our bodies a rest and cleanse on a regular basis to help purge the impurities out of our systems. Many turn to cleanses simply for weight loss purposes however when done correctly, not only can it help boost weightloss most important, your body will have a chance to reboot and function in a more efficient manner.
Fasting, "The master cleanse", "The Ultra Cleanse", "The Cabbage Soup Diet" the list can go on. What do all of these diets have in common? Celebrities swear by them and they each promise fast weight loss results. What do they fail to mention to the consumer buying into their claims? That the results are short lived and over time these can cause alot more harm than good.
Sure, after a few days your pants feel a tad bigger, you're lighter in your step. On the downside, you're left irritable, malnourished and more prone to overindulge in the first edible item you lay your eyes on. There's no scientific data backing the fact that these 'diets' are indeed safe and effective however,it is known that consuming too little calories along with an unbalanced diet plan will wreak havoc on your health and slow your metabolism.
"If it slows my metabolism, then how am I still losing weight"? A common question and this is why: When you cut your caloric intake drastically, the body goes into starvation mode. Initially the first few pounds will be water, after that it's all muscle. We need muscle to prevent bone loss and to help our bodies function properly. Muscle burns fat so the more muscle you have and maintain, the more efficient your body burns caloric intake even while at rest.
These packaged cleanses come in systems that are quite costly and may have undesirable side effects. So save your money and don't buy into the packaged claims that you see. The best way to detoxify naturally is with whole food sources. If you plan on trying a juice fast opt for stocking your fridge with organic naturally detoxifying foods such as celery, watercress, assorted berries, sprouts, dark leafy greens, garlic, aloe vera and cabbage.
Green tea and lemon are a part of this group. A great way to rev up your metabolism is by drinking a cup of hot water with lemon first thing on an empty stomach. Not only does this help knock the calorie burn up a notch you're also getting a great dose of vitamin C along with the benefits of a healthy complexion thanks to citrus! So go on and drink up!
Green tea, another fantastic choice that is a nutritional powerhouse. Antioxidants that help prevent cancer, heart disease, neurological dysfunctions, lowers cholesterol as well as it helps prevent tooth decay.
Water. The best way to flush out the system on a daily basis is by consuming at the very least 8 full glasses of water. The body is 60-70% water so it is important to keep hydrated especially during hot weather as well as during/after strenuous physical activity. Water regulates body temperature, and provides a means for nutrients to travel to our vital organs. Water also transports oxygen to our cells, removes waste and protects our joints.
When proceeding with a detox regimen the most important thing to do is plan. It will take time to prepare these meals. Also, since you're cleansing the body the approach should be relaxed not rigid. We're giving the digestive system a rest so try and focus on your mental health as well. Try to reduce the stress level if possible, take a yoga class, learn the wonders of meditation. Take a much deserved time out for yourself, and reconnect.
Prior to your cleanse, keep a diary for a few days that lists the foods that you consume throughout the day. Through this you may notice patterns, where you may be deficient in some areas, what may trigger bad eating habits. Be honest with yourself and jot it all down from the apple you ate in the morning to the three bites of a glazed Krispy Kreme donut that you had during a coffee break. Every bite counts, every sip counts. Noone is here to judge you, the best way to break the habits are by facing the fact that you may over indulge in some things and skimp out on what's good for you. Noone is perfect and the key is to maintain a healthy well rounded diet.
In the planning stages, slowly wean yourself off of stimulants such as caffeine and sugar. Dropping them cold turkey will result in severe mood swings and energy crashes. Can't live without your 20 ounce coffee in the morning? Fill half of it with regular brew and the other with decaf. Milk and sugar a part of the routine? Try to cut back on both additives. Steer clear of artificial sweeteners. Sodas, energy drinks, bottled juices? Say goodbye!
Refined carbohydrates, processed snacks, dairy, meats, these need to be eliminated. The energy it takes for your digestive system to break these foods down and the build up of residue they leave overtime leaves something to be desired.
Rule of thumb: If it doesn't come from the ground during a detox diet, it will not touch your lips!
I am not a fan of pure juicing fasts however you can incorporate blended beverages with salads and cooked whole grains and fresh legumes. A raw food bar is a good snack choice if need be however, fresh is best. Also, please note that fat is an essential part of ones diet. Opt for healthier varieties such as olive oil, raw nuts, flax seeds and avocados.
For a newbie, this is not an easy process and it requires time and restraint however it does get easier day by day and the benefits will certainly outweigh what one may consider the downside of it. The point of doing the detox diet is to help clean the dietary slate and start a healthier eating program. When I say healthy, again it's all about balance. Deprivation is not sensible when it comes to long term dietary changes what is sensible is trying to adhere to a foundation of assorted healthy foods and indulging in a small portion of a treat on occasion. Most important- stay active!
Get creative. Browse the produce sections of the grocery store, visit a local farmers market, break out the blender and see that eating healthy can be such an enjoyable experience.

Wakefield Mayor Dick Bolen poses with Utica Mayor Jacquline Noonan at the Michigan Municipal League annual convention Thursday in Detroit in a photo provided courtesy of the MML. Bolen was named vice-president of the MML board of trustees while Noonan was selected president. Visit mml.org for more information.
DETROIT — Wakefield Mayor Dick Bolen was selected 2013-'14 vice-president of the Michigan Municipal League Board of Trustees at the MML's annual convention Thursday in Detroit.
Bolen was in Detroit for the remainder of the week at the MML convention, where he was elected by the 19-member board, which includes Ironwood City Manager Scott Erickson.
Bolen began serving on the board in 2010, and is in line to become the league president next year, which would make him the fourth president from the Upper Peninsula in 114 years, a news release said.
"It's quite an honor and I'm humbled to be elected as vice-president and, of course, ultimately president," Bolen said. "Having served on the league board for three years now I know it's a rewarding experience."
Bolen has served on Wakefield City Council since 2003. He's serving his fourth term as mayor.
He has represented Wakefield on various authorities and commissions, and is a past member of the Wakefield School Board, where he served as president for nine years.
Bolen is active in veterans' affairs as a member of the Wakefield VFW and American Legion posts.
At the end of 2010, Bolen retired as Gogebic County forester. He also served as president of the Wakefield-Bessemer Rotary Club.
Jacqueline Noonan, mayor of Utica, was elected president of the MML board.
The league has represented more than 500 Michigan cities, villages and townships since it was founded in 1899, making it one of the state's longest running organizations.

Walk Through The Door
The candle burned down from it's place on the sill
The curtains caught fire but the house remains standing there still.
Turning around, saw you looking at me
With tears running down from the place where your eyes used to be.
Walk through the door like your brother before
A lifetime remains until dawn
The trees seem to say you'll be passing this way
In the wink of an eye you'll be gone.
The flames leaping higher, the rope is made fast
Blinded and burning, the first bearing gofts for the last.
Turning around saw you leaping away
The rose in your hand caught the sun at the close of the day.
The stars and the shadows each have a share
I called out your name, but the wind stole my words from the air.
Looking ahead, saw you pale as the sky
"The circle is closed," I said as I turned and walked by.

This dress is made from chantilly and corded lace with a stretch silk charmeuse slip underneath. I ordered this dress in September 2013 from the Lovely Bride Los Angeles store, and received it in January 2014 just before my wedding. It's been worn twice: once at my wedding and once at a reception. I absolutely loved this dress, as it's very unique, beautiful, and comfortable. I fell in love with the detailed lace on the neckline and back.
If you're interested in more photos, please look at Watters' page: http://watters.com/Product/WattersBrides/4096B/
- Alterations: A bustle has been added--5 matching ribbons underneath the dress tie to each other to create more mobility for the reception/dancing. Additionally, the straps on the slip have been taken in about 2 inches (but can easily be returned to original length).
- Preservation Method: A little of the lace has been stretched out due to dancing at the wedding, but overall the dress is in great condition. I've had it professionally cleaned and restored at Gold Label Cleaners and Restoration Lab.
- Terms of Sale: All Sales Final
- Original Owner: Yes
- Has Original Receipt: Yes
- Location: Parker, CO
- Will Ship to: Anywhere at Buyer Expense

The 89 passengers rescued from an Argentine cruise ship, stranded in the waters off the Antarctic Peninsula, are being transferred to a Chilean base in Antarctica, from which they can be flown back to South America. The passengers and several crewmembers were rescued by a Chilean navy ship that was the first to arrive on the scene after their cruise ship, Ushuaia, ran aground yesterday and began taking on water and leaking fuel.
The international roster of tourists includes 12 Americans, as well as travelers from Australia, Germany, Argentina, the U.K., China, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, France, Canada, Ireland, Belgium and New Zealand.
Some crewmembers may have remained onboard to contain the leak and try to free the ship. A second Chilean navy ship is also on the scene and providing assistance. There's no word on when or if the ship will be able to head back to South America, but reports indicate that the ship's fuel leak extends about a half mile around the ship.
We'll keep you posted.

The venerable Madame Alexander Doll Company, founded in 1923, debuted two 75th Anniversary Doll collections at Toy Fair last week celebrating the classic film franchises The Wizard of Oz and Gone With the Wind.
Among the new Gone With the Wind entries are a six-inch Scarlet O'Hara in a green dress modeled after a film photo of Vivian Leigh and Clark Gable. There's also a 10-inch Scarlet in her wedding dress.
The new Wizard of Oz dolls come in a special commemorative box and include Tin Man--holding on to his ax, of course—and Dorothy, wearing her ruby red shoes and carrying Toto in a basket.
"We're known for our attention to detail," says senior director of marketing Judy Herbst. "Our tag line is 'Love is in the details,' and it needs to be in every one of our products—absolutely!"
This includes new 18-inch limited edition steampunk versions of Dorothy, Glinda the Good Witch and Wicked Witch of the West.
"It's a new classification," says Herbst. "Our designers reimagined the characters in steampunk fashion, which is very trendy. But it's all positive."
Herbst reassures traditionalists that the "classic" Wizard of Oz dolls are in no danger of being replaced by the modern steampunk versions, which, she adds, are already almost sold out.

We women want things men don't when we step off a plane and into temporary digs—like a hair straightener or a copy of the latest gossip rag. And now that we make up close to half of all business travelers, some hotels are working hard to accommodate us. But not all. How do you find one of the good ones in advance? Enter Maiden Voyage, a social network that ranks hotels based on female friendliness. Are there high-powered hair dryers? Check. Full-length mirrors? Double check. A receptionist who announces the room numbers out loud? Uh-oh. If you're a lone traveler, the site can even connect you with other women on business trips at the same time.
At present, Maiden Voyage ambassadors have vetted about 300 hotels worldwide, although none are in the U.S. CEO Carolyn Pearson hopes to add at least that many to the site in 2014, including some in American cities. More asked her to detail her criteria and divulge her top hotel picks.
More: What makes a hotel female friendly?
Carolyn Pearson: We have a checklist of about 30 things. First, we really focus on safety because there has been a history of women business travelers being sexually assaulted or just disturbed by people entering their rooms. Our No. 1 requirement is double-locking doors—an extra chain or deadbolt that will prevent anyone with a master keycard from entering your room. It's also important for a hotel to be located in a safe area, man the reception desk 24-7 and have a spyhole in the door so women can see who is knocking. Those are positives; one big negative is if the person who checks you in says your room number out loud.
Then there's comfort: We look carefully at the hairdryers (they should be salon-quality rather than the type that requires you to hold down a button to keep it running); whether there is a full-length mirror with an outlet nearby; coat hangers; room service menus with healthy options, rather than the usual steak or club sandwiches; and most importantly, good brand-name toiletries. I don't know anyone who likes those two-in-one shower gel and shampoo products. We prefer Ren, Molton Brown, Jo Malone, L'Occitane, Elemis, and of course, Bvlgari and Hermes. If you know you'll find that level of product in the bathroom, you won't have to pack as much. Hotels that invest in these products earn more loyalty from female guests.
More: Does price play a factor in your rankings?
CP: No. We tend not to go for the palace-type places that are ridiculously priced, but our hotels are usually 3.5 stars and up, so they aren't cheap.
More: The site names only the hotels that have met your criteria. How can people avoid the ones that didn't ace the test?
CP: If we inspect a hotel and it doesn't meet our criteria, we make sure to keep the inspection sheets. So our members can email us and ask about a specific hotel they are considering, and we can tell them not to stay there.
More: Can you tell me about a hotel you visited that didn't make the cut?
CP: I checked into a London hotel this week and the receptionist gave me a ground floor room. It's bad to put a woman there because the room is accessible from the outside through the windows. I asked for something higher, and I got a second-floor room—which would have been fine had the elevator been working. Luckily, the receptionist helped me with my bags. When it came time to check out, I attempted to call reception for help again, and I realized my room phone wasn't working. I went downstairs to inquire, and I found a note explaining that reception closes at 6 PM and no staff or authority stays in the hotel after that. So anyone could be lurking around. Also, the heat control on my hair dryer was broken, so I felt like my hair was burning when I dried it.
More: What are your top hotels?
CP: 1. QT hotel in Sydney is my favorite at the moment. It's a stunning boutique hotel with fantastic art, nice toiletries and a great dining area.
2. Four Seasons in Riyadh has dealt with women's security by creating the Pearl Floor, a women's-only floor with express check-in. There's also a family area where women can dine alone, a lounge with free WIFI and a new Ladies Gym (so you won't get yourself in hot water for making cultural mistakes).
3. Georgian Court in Vancouver has a ladies-only floor, too, with 18 rooms for female travelers. We've got fantastic feedback from our members about it. Each room has a flat iron, a curling iron, upgraded Aveda spa products and copies of fashion magazines.
4. K+K Hotel George in London is great. We've actually educated them about being more female friendly, and they went up a star partially because of that. If you book with the Maiden Voyage code on our website, they offer a free female-business-traveler package that includes in-room flowers, sparkling wine and chocolates. The hotel also has onsite secure parking, a wellness center and massages available upon request.
5. Sofitel Luxembourg Le Grand Ducal was recommended to us by members. They liked the chilled-out vibe, the lady-friendly atmosphere and the welcome cocktails on the panoramic top floor. Female staff delivers room service, and each room is equipped with a full-length mirror, high-powered hair dryer and Hermes toiletries.
6. The WorldHotel Grand Winston in The Hague has created a ladies-only business room. Female business travelers stay near—but not right next to—the elevator and the rooms have extra bolts. They also have step machines, extra slippers and satin coat hangers in each room.
7. The Intercontinental in Geneva has an outdoor heated swimming pool and a massive Clarins spa. Not to mention free WIFI and 24-hour room service.

Memo to Virgil Goode: YOU ARE A CANARY.
I'm sure a lot of you are wondering why I haven't mentioned Virginia representative Virgil Goode yet. I mean, the guy would be the You Are Dumb poster child if it weren't for all the horse and pigfuckers out there. I mean, he's southern, he's white, he's Republican, he's bigoted, and most importantly, he's not just dumb, he's UNREPENTANTLY dumb.
By now, you've heard all about Goode, his comments on the Ellison swearing-in, and his general fear of a Muslim planet. You've seen all the puns on his name, and read while the obvious holes in his logic got poked by all and sundry, and if you haven't, it's a brief search away. But since I've beaten the Ellison thing into a fine paste myself in this space, I figured I could pass on it and let the rest of the Internet do the leg work for me.
Goode does make an interesting new answer to an eternal question. Can someone say something so blatantly and publicly stupid that it is universally condemned by the punditocracy? Not yet, but we're getting closer.
But Goode's comments have importance beyond his own astonishing, Guinness-defying levels of pigfuckery. And it's great news for gays and Mexicans. Because as I've mentioned before, people like Goode exist to push the discourse in a particular direction. They establish an outer boundary of crazy so that the more serene lights of the punditocracy can say MOSTLY bugfuck things, and get away with them because they're less bugfuck than Virgil Goode.
It's good news for gays and Mexicans because of a particular meme that Goode hits hard and often - that Muslims are bent on infiltrating America in order to undermine it. ACTUAL QUOTE TIME!
"I believe that if we do not stop illegal immigration totally, reduce legal immigration and end diversity visas, we are leaving ourselves vulnerable to infiltration by those who want to mold the United States into the image of their religion, rather than working within the Judeo-Christian principles that have made us a beacon for freedom-loving persons around the world." - Rep. Goode, who is not so much a beacon of freedom as he is a fucking dimbulb.
In 2004, we were told that the homosexuals had a homosexual agenda, and were infiltrating heterosexual America in order to turn everybody gay. In 2006, we were told that Mexicans weren't just entering the country illegally to gut chickens for three dollars an hour. No, they were flooding across the border in order to retake the American Southwest and make it a de facto part of the Mexican nation. If you missed this gem, google Aztlan sometime.
But in 2007, the gay and Mexican plans to destroy America from within are going to take a back-seat to the Muslim plan to destroy America from within. Goode is the canary in our coalmine, the first one to drop a stinking, fetid, yellow lump into the public discourse. If you're a Muslim, Virgil Goode wants you to know you're going to have a shitty year.
And while I'm no fonder of Mohammed than I am of Jesus, I'm even less fond of the relatively powerless being demonized by the powerful for crazy shit any rational person knows they're not actually doing. But that's SOP for the GOP, especially shitheads like Goode.

Men's Tennis to Host Cal Poly, No. 3 USC: The No. 9 UCLA men's tennis team (15-5; 3-2 Pac-10) closes out the regular season at home this week, hosting Cal Poly (14-3) on Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. and third-ranked USC (19-2; 5-0 Pac-10) on Friday at 3:00 p.m. Both matches are free to attend and take place on campus at the Los Angeles Tennis Center. Live stats for each match can be accessed by clicking HERE.
Following the Bruins: As always, for a behind-the-scenes look at the UCLA men's tennis program you can follow team manager Barry Goldenberg's blog located at uclatennis.wordpress.com. The men's tennis team also has dedicated Twitter and Facebook pages.
Win Prizes This Friday: Fans in attendance at this Friday's showdown with USC will get the opportunity to win prizes by taking part in both the Bruin Raffle and Bruin Trivia Contest. Both are free to take part in. There will also be free pizza given out on a first come, first served basis so be sure to arrive early. Prizes will be given away during the intermission between singles and doubles.
UCLA vs. USC: Friday marks the second meeting between UCLA and USC this season, as the Trojans registered a 5-2 win over the Bruins on March 2 at USC. UCLA's two points on the afternoon came from seniors Amit Inbar and Holden Seguso, who each notched wins in singles play. Inbar upset 19th-ranked Daniel Nguyen, 6-4, 6-2 at court No. 2, while Seguso was a 6-3, 6-2 winner over JT Sundling at court No. 6. UCLA leads the all-time series between the two schools 69-37.
Looking at the Trojans: With a 19-2 overall record, USC is ranked No. 3 in the latest ITA Rankings released on Tuesday. The Trojans are also 5-0 in Pac-10 play and can win the conference title outright with a win over UCLA this Friday. USC is guaranteed at least a share of the title even if they lose this week. The Trojans have the No. 1 player in the nation in junior Steve Johnson. Other ranked Trojan players include No. 35 Jaak Poldma, No. 38 Daniel Nguyen and No. 54 Raymond Sarmiento.
Bruins Upset No. 6 Pepperdine: UCLA had only one match last week and it ended up being a big win, as the Bruins registered a 4-3 upset over No. 6 Pepperdine at the Ralphs-Straus Tennis Center in Malibu. The Bruins won the doubles point when Alex Brigham and Adrien Puget outlasted Pepperdine's 33rd-ranked Hugh Clarke and Finn Tearney, 9-8(5) at court No. 1. UCLA was able to follow up that point with three wins in singles play, as Clay Thompson (court No. 3), Adrien Puget (court No. 4) and Holden Seguso (court No. 6) were all victorious. It marked the team's third win over a top 10 opponent this year, following victories over No. 9 Baylor and No. 10 Florida.
UCLA in the ITA Rankings: After upsetting No. 6 Pepperdine last Monday, UCLA made a significant jump in the ITA Team Rankings released on Tuesday, moving up from No. 14 to No. 9. It's the highest UCLA has been ranked since checking in at No. 8 on March 8. Individually, freshman Daniel Kosakowski continues to be the highest ranked Bruin player, coming in at No. 34. The two other UCLA players ranked in singles are No. 85 Amit Inbar and No. 95 Clay Thompson. In doubles, Alex Brigham is currently ranked with two different partners, checking in at No. 47 with Adrien Puget and at No. 76 with Inbar. For an in-depth look at this Tuesday's rankings, click HERE.
Thompson Leading the Way: Freshman Clay Thompson is the first UCLA player in the 20-win club this year, as he takes a 20-7 overall singles record into this Wednesday's match with Cal Poly. He enters the rankings for the first time since March 1 this week, checking in at No. 95. Another freshman, Daniel Kosakowski, is right behind Thompson in wins, taking a 19-11 record into the week.
Pac-10 Championships Just Around the Corner: Following the conclusion of the regular season this Friday, UCLA heads up the 101 Freeway for the 2011 Pac-10 Championships, April 28-30, at Libby Park in downtown Ojai. As usual, the tournament features four Pac-10 draws (Main and Invitational for both singles and doubles). The last Bruin player to win the main singles draw in Ojai was Marcin Matkowski in 2003. The last Bruin team to claim the main draw doubles title at the Pac-10 Championships was the pairing of Mathieu Dehaine and Jeremy Drean in 2006. UCLA's last Invitational singles champion was Chris Surapol in 2006, while Lassi Ketola and Travis Rettenmaier are the most recent Invitational doubles champions (2000). For more information about this year's tournament, please visit www.ojaitourney.org.
NCAA Selections Set for May 3: The 64-team draw for the 2011 NCAA Men's Tennis Championships will be announced live on ncaa.com on Tuesday, May 3 at 2:30 p.m. UCLA will find out that day if it has been selected to host NCAA Regional action the weekend of May 12 & 13. Stanford will serve as the host site for this year's round of 16.

Feet Accompli: Cruisers Put Their Best Toes Forward
July 18, 2011 | By Shayne Rodriguez Thompson | No Comments
After noticing some pretty pedis on her last sailing, Cruise Critic member lucigo decided that a fun (albeit girly) way to remember cruises past or get amped up for future cruises would be for fellow members to share photos of their festive feet. Little did she know that in just a few short days, her idea would bring a half-dozen pages of joy to the Cruise Critic message boards. From bright, bold red to sparkly blue and even cruise-line-inspired artwork, our members definitely love to sail with stylish tootsies (the ones above were even spotlighted on Carnival's Facebook page, but they belong to one of our members).
Share your fancy footwork here.

Thomas Ravenel and Shep Rose may be distantly related through the Boykin family line, but the two have more than a relative or two in common. Both "Southern Charm" cast members have been intimate with Kathryn Dennis.
Fans of "Southern Charm" we left wondering if Kathryn Dennis is pregnant and if so, is the father Thomas Ravenel or Shep Rose. On March 18 Bravo posted of Ravenel and Rose discussing Kathryn Dennis and the possibility that she may be pregnant. Thomas arrives at Shep's house to discuss Kathryn and the information Kathryn shared with him.
Ravenel begins the conversation by telling Rose that he has something he wants to talk to him about and that subject is Kathryn Dennis. Thomas tells Shep that Kathryn is two weeks late and that she may be pregnant. Thomas Ravenel says to Shep Rose, "I know it's been about a month since I had sex with her. Been about 30 days, I said, you know, you had your period." She Rose thinks this is odd, saying, "Why would you ask that? That's weird."
Thomas explains to Shep that he bought a pregnancy test for Kathryn but the results came up in error. Ravenel says to Rose, "I don't know if she's bulls****ting me or what." Shep says to Thomas, "Jesus Christ, this all happened today?" Thomas tells Shep that he knows Kathryn "had relations" with Shep and could he be the daddy and not Thomas? Shep says to Thomas, "Nah, this isn't right man."
Ravenel asks Rose if Kathryn has talked to him about the possibility that she may be pregnant. "Hell no", Shep replies. If Kathryn Dennis is pregnant the two friends will need to take a test to determine the paternity of the baby.
Tune in at 10 p.m. on Tuesday nights to watch "Southern Charm" on Bravo.
