walking cast is a nonsurgical treatment for
plantar fasciitis. Simpler treatments—such as
rest, ice, heel cups, or cushions—are usually tried before a walking
Having your foot in a cast for several weeks
causes some weakening of the foot, ankle, and calf muscles and some loss of
flexibility. After the cast is removed, you will need some rehabilitation to
restore strength and range of motion. But a cast forces you to rest your
foot. This rest may be very
helpful for relieving plantar fasciitis.
Casting is somewhat more
expensive and inconvenient than other nonsurgical treatments. But if less expensive treatments are not helpful, you often will have many more
doctor visits. These visits add to the overall cost.
A removable cast
(CAM walker) can also be effective. But you must wear it 22 to 23 hours a

Chat broken? Edit
I don't know if other wikis are having trouble with thier chatrooms, but everytime I try to open it up on the South Park Wiki, it crashes the browser. I've tried with Safari, Firefox, and IE. And it's not just me; other users have also complained about not being able to open it.
Can anybody help me out? Neocarleen • Talk 08:01, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

It can be done by adding a <chat/> tag.
Enablement historyEdit
It is possible for admins to enable or disable chat at Special:WikiFeatures. I would like to know if there is a way to view a history of changes. For example, let's say a bureaucrat enables a chat on his wiki, but one of several people they have appointed as administrators keeps disabling it.
How could the bureaucrat find out who disabled it, and when they did it? Does wikia keep a history of these changes which bureaucrats can view? Otherwise it becomes difficult to keep the chat active and to institute consequences if admins disable it without permission against policies. +Yc 05:41, March 14, 2013 (UTC)

Wednesday, who have climbed out of the relegation zone after three straight wins over the Christmas period, should have been reduced to 10 men midway through the first half when key player Jeremy Helan was shown a second yellow card.
But Russell did not realise he had already booked the on-loan Manchester City midfielder and amid furious protestations from Huddersfield players and management, the Herefordshire official allowed Helan to play on.
The FA and referees company Professional Game Match Officials Ltd have announced they will conduct an investigation into Russell's failure to send off Helan.
PGMOL released a statement on Saturday suggesting that the official's error was in recording the wrong player's name for the first offence.
The statement said: "In the eighth minute of the match Mick Russell, the referee, stopped play when Jeremy Helan was adjudged to have simulated an offence inside the Huddersfield penalty area.
"However, it appears that instead of Helan (number 24) receiving a caution, one was given instead for Michail Antonio (number 7).
"At this point the referee recorded the name and number of Antonio in his notebook and advised the fourth official over the communication system that Antonio, number seven, had been cautioned.
"In the 25th minute Helan was cautioned following a foul challenge. As the referee had not previously recorded his name he did not issue a red card for receiving a second caution in the same game.
"The official has subsequently admitted making a genuine error and PGMOL and the FA need to determine why this arose and what sanction, if any, should be administered to the match officials."
Former football league official Tony Leake said that Russell is likely to stand down for some time after the gaffe, adding that Huddersfield could demand a replay if they feel that the mistake cost them the match.
English referee Graham Poll made a similar mistake in the 2006 World Cup as he showed three yellow cards to Croatia's Josip Simunic before managing to send him off. FIFA chief Sepp Blatter said at the time that opponents Australia could have demanded a replay had the blunder proved critical.
Huddersfield, now without a win in nine league matches, almost snatched all three points in the final minute when substitute James Vaughan flashed a volley inches wide.
But Wednesday substitute Mamady Sidibe forced Huddersfield goalkeeper Alex Smithies into a superb save with a header moments earlier and a draw was a fair reflection of an entertaining encounter.
Huddersfield manager Simon Grayson made five changes with defenders Murray Wallace and Joel Lynch, midfielder Chris Atkinson, winger Adam Hammill and striker Simon Church all back in the side, while Wednesday recalled forward Gary Madine.
The visitors spurned a golden chance to take an early lead when Helan squeezed between two defenders into the penalty area only to see his low shot saved by the feet of Smithies.
Smithies saved again, low to his right, to parry Wednesday midfielder David Prutton's volley as the visitors, playing the more cohesive football, took the game to Grayson's side.
Referee Russell then unwittingly became centre of attention midway through the first half after booking Helan for a 26th-minute foul on Hammill.
The Hertfordshire official seemingly forgot he had already shown the Frenchman a yellow card for diving in the penalty area 17 minutes earlier, but despite animated reminders from home players and the Town bench, Russell allowed Helan to play on.
Amid chants of 'you don't know what you're doing' the referee's gaffe was also pointed out by Grayson to fourth official Duncan Street and assistant referee Wayne Grunnill, but under the laws of the game, once Russell had restarted play following the foul, he was unable to retrospectively correct his mistake.
Town carved out their only clear-cut chance of the opening half a minute before the interval.
Church's low shot following Adam Clayton's cross was brilliantly saved by Wednesday goalkeeper Chris Kirkland and the score remained goalless at half-time.
Wednesday winger Michail Antonio almost cashed in on Wallace's slip on the edge of the area a minute into the second period, but dragged his shot wide, and soon after crossed tantalisingly to the far post, inches away from the outstretched boot of Madine.
Huddersfield responded in the 59th minute, but Clayton headed tamely at Kirkland following Hammill's pinpoint cross before Grayson sent on Sean Scannell and Vaughan for Atkinson and Church respectively.
Wednesday substitute Sidibe replaced Madine in the 65th minute and Huddersfield swapped injured right-back Jack Hunt with Paul Dixon five minutes later.
Dixon was booked soon after for bringing Antonio's marauding run crashing to an end.
Sidibe lashed a 25-yard shot high and wide in the 84th minute before Sidibe's header from Rhys McCabe's corner was superbly tipped away by Smithies and Vaughan's volley shaved the post at the other end.

The guy pictured above is Owen Hossack. When he's not pretending to be an Alabama dandy, he's a former OSU frat boy. He was recently expelled from school for turning into Pistol Pete during a hazing ritual.
Via NewsOK.com:
Owen Edward Hossack, 22, is a former member of Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity. On Aug. 16, according to an affidavit, he used a loaded handgun to frighten two pledges at an Alpha Gamma Rho pledge initiation.
According to court records, the pledges were told they were being taken to a bonfire initiation event. During the ride to the bonfire, fraternity upperclassmen allegedly yelled at the pledges to stare at their laps, the affidavit states.
The victims told police Hossack aimed the gun at their heads and asked whether they were willing to take a bullet for their fraternity brothers.
Police say the gun was then discharged, shattering the rear window of the vehicle. No injuries were reported.
That's one thing the students at Rose State never have to worry about. Well, the frat prank part that is. Ending up in the back of car with guns pointed at you is always a real possibility. Just kidding. Rose State has a wonderful and safe campus.
The story continues:
In a statement, OSU said the university began investigating the incident Sept. 6 and reported it to campus police.
During an interview with OSU police Sept. 11, Hossack said the allegations involving the gun were true. He said he fired the weapon at the window, which he believed to be open, to frighten the pledges.
(Editor's Note: I'm pretty sure it fucking worked.)
Hossack, who was a secretary on the Interfraternity Council in 2013, was expelled from the university and Alpha Gamma Rho, OSU said….
Hossack's bail was set at $10,000, which he paid Monday, Payne County Jail officials said.
Both counts are felony charges and are punishable by imprisonment for one to 10 years, according to court documents.
So, the university that embraces the motto "Pistols Firing" frowns upon real pistols being fired. Talk about a double standard. It's totally fine to have a college student dress like a big-headed old west cowboy and fire blanks into a 75-% full football stadium, but shooting bullets past the head of your frat brothers is taking things too far. It doesn't make any sense.
Anyway, instead of wasting her time with "Real Housewives of Oklahoma City" stuff, we should get Annette Colbert-Latham to produce a dating reality show with this guy and the OU Kappa sorority girls. The sorority girls could compete for this guy's undivided love and affection. In the show, they could get drunk, shoot guns, strip naked and act out other fraternity and sorority stereotypes that it turns out may not be stereotypes. Maybe we can get the Make It Snow Girl, Price Fallin or Chelsea to host.
(Editor's Note: I'm pretty sure it fucking worked.)
^^ haha
OSU has some fucked up frats. I don't remember anything close to shit like this at OU.
You've got to be kidding, right?
The pledge members were quoted as confirming "yes the firing of the gun was extremely terrifying, however; the other fraternity initiations invoving fingers and/or other things in our anuses while we slept scared us even more!"
Why aren't you a multi-millionaire television producer? You have TV show ideas that I know would air on KOCB in the 4:00 5:00 hour if they actually existed.
"he believed the window to be open". WTF. Okay that's fine, the bullet will just magically fall to the ground outside of the car. No one has ever been struck by a random shot fired into the ether. I was going to mention physics and gravity but why bother.
Stupidity knows no social, ethnic or economic boundaries.
Seriously! The important question here is what kind of car they were in… If he believed the back window of a Ford Focus was "open," he's full of it. I might buy that excuse if it was the rear window of an SUV propped open.
Since AGR is an agri-related fraternity, I wonder if the vehicle is a truck. Hazing is a chance for many upperclassmen, especially officers, in fraternities to get a power trip at the expense of pledges. Often, pledges are misled into join frats because hazing is kept hush-hush. Standing up as a pledge means your not true to your brothers. It's worthless!
Thanks! Your message has been sent!

The tour was exceptional. Our tour guide and bus driver 'Uncle Ben" was not only very informative but was a comedian! We not only had a great tour of the island and the different area. He made you want to come back and stay longer on HIS island.
Just got off the ship and walked around the town. We saw the moving bridge that was awesome!
Remained on the ship and enjoyed it! Did hear from others that they went into town and felt very insecure with being accosted by locals selling items, so beware!
Beautiful beach right of the boat that is FREE to enjoy.

With all the stress, that we find ourselves under, it is no wonder that we start to notice little lines or deep creases in the skin on our forehead. It's normal to see these lines. They are a great indicator that we need to take a deep breath and calm down.
Just because we have lines in our forehead does not mean that we are stuck with them. By making some simple adjustments to the way we live our lives, and how we handle stress we can rid our forehead of those aging lines and prevent future creases from appearing. We don't have to run to the beauty supply store to spend money on expensive creams. Besides, most of those products don't even work.
The best way to get rid of lines and creases in our foreheads is to make changes to our lifestyle. This means getting rid of whatever stress we can eliminate. We may think that having a drink or a smoke or eating something greasy and fried is calming us down, but the truth is that these habits are adding to the lines that form on our foreheads.
By eliminating these practices, we can reduce the lines on our forehead. In addition, by cutting these bad habits out of our lives and eliminating stress we can help prevent future lines from popping up on our foreheads.
If we still see lines on our forehead, we can go to the store to look for creams that will help reduce the appearance of lines by tightening our skin. There are so many skin care products on the market that it can be hard to choose the right one. We should look for products that contain Phytessence Wakame, Cynergy Tk and other natural ingredients such as oils and honey. These ingredients will provide nutrition to the skin and help to remove the wrinkles in a natural and healthy way.
One last option to remove wrinkles and lines from the forehead is to go for cosmetic surgery. But this should be a last resort as eventually new lines will develop from a stressful lifestyle.

FILE -- In this Saturday, Sept. 7, 2013 file photo released by the Syrian official news agency SANA, a Syrian military solider fires a heavy machine gun during clashes with rebels in Maaloula village, northeast of the capital Damascus, Syria. Syrian troops launched an attack Monday, Sept. 9, 2013, on suspected rebel-held positions on hills overlooking a Christian-majority village near the capital Damascus, two days after rebel forces captured the ancient community, an activist group said. (AP Photo/SANA, File)
MOSCOW (AP) -- Syria says it has accepted Russia's proposal to place its chemical weapons under international control for subsequent dismantling.
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem said Tuesday after meeting with Russian parliament speaker that his government quickly agreed to the Russian initiative to "derail the U.S. aggression."
Meanwhile, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that Russia is now working with Syria to prepare a detailed plan of action, which will be presented shortly.
Lavrov said that Russia will then be ready to finalize the plan together with U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.
President Barack Obama said Monday the Russian proposal could be "potentially a significant breakthrough," but he remained skeptical that Syria would follow through.

Situated within Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences (RBHS), the School of Public Health at Rutgers University invites applications and nominations for the position of Dean. The Dean will be expected to provide the strategic leadership necessary to achieve national prominence for the School, advancing the mission, operations and service of the School within Rutgers University as well as the greater New Jersey region and beyond.
Reporting to the Chancellor for Biomedical and Health Sciences, the Dean will develop and implement a strategic plan to advance the national reputation of Rutgers School of Public Health (SPH). In addition, the Dean will reorganize the departmental and administrative structure of the newly expanded School, while also recruiting and supporting a distinguished faculty. The Dean will develop a rigorous scholarly atmosphere conducive to achieving excellence in teaching and research, while substantially growing the federally funded research base. The Dean will also maintain fiscal discipline and a balanced School budget, while raising funds in partnership with the Rutgers University Foundation. The successful candidate will be a collaborative member of the University leadership team, and will have firm and abiding commitment to shared governance. Interested candidates should have a Ph.D., M.D., or other relevant doctoral degree and should have leadership experience in the academy, with a distinguished record of research, teaching, and service, and credentials appropriate for appointment to the rank of full professor with tenure.
Rutgers School of Public Health dates back to 1983, when the New Jersey Graduate Program in Public Health was founded by Rutgers and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ). In 1998, the UMDNJ School of Public Health was established, and it received full accreditation as the first collaborative graduate school of public health in 2001. In July 2013, with the integration of UMDNJ and Rutgers, the School became the Rutgers School of Public Health. Accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH), the School has 54 full-time faculty, 7 part-time faculty, 80 partner faculty (housed within a partner Rutgers school/unit), and 50 administrative staff. A large number of the partner faculty will move into the SPH with the arrival of the new dean, as well-funded departments from three partner schools/units move into the School. With programs on three campuses, across eight core departments and nine interdisciplinary institutes, centers, and programs, SPH enrolls 367 students in one of five degree programs.
Founded in 1766, Rutgers is one of the nations nine colonial colleges and is New Jerseys Land Grant College. The University consists of 33 degree-granting schools and colleges located on multiple campuses throughout the state. In 1989, Rutgers was elected to membership in the prestigious Association of American Universities, an association of the 62 leading public and private research universities in the U.S. and Canada.
Inquiries, nominations and applications are invited. Interested candidates should submit confidentially, in electronic form (Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF files preferred) a curriculum vitae or resume and a letter of interest to:

New York is about to get "Redneck Crazy," y'all!
The Grand Ole Opry and Southwest Airlines are celebrating the Opry's 88th birthday and Country Music Month by bringing Love and Theft, Tyler Farr and Cassadee Pope to the Big Apple for the Bryant Park Concert Series.
"Nashville's New Music in New York" features country music's hottest new stars performing acoustic sets on the Southwest porch at Bryant Park—well known for its role in New York's Fashion Week and Project Runway. Opry VP Pete Fisher says, "We're looking forward to presenting to our friends and fans in New York some of the artists who've really excited our audiences during recent Opry performances. It'll be great to extend our birthday party and Country Music Month beyond Music City to New York City."
And to add a touch of authenticity to the show, the Opry will be taking their signature microphone stand and a replica of the sacred circle along for the trip. Personalities from New York's own country station, NASH-FM, will be on hand to host the festivities.
Each of the acts will be playing separate days, with Tyler kicking things off Sept. 30, Love and Theft on Oct. 3 and Cassadee on Oct. 7. For more details and for a chance to win tickets to one of the shows, go to opry.com/nyc [1].
The official Opry birthday bash takes place Oct. 4 and 5 in Nashville.

LeBron's Finals Date With Kobe Looks Iffy
A furious rally late in Game 4 and two clutch free throws from LeBron James with a half-second left in regulation Tuesday sent the game into overtime, keeping alive the Cavaliers' hopes of tying the Eastern Conference finals at 2-2. Even after the Orlando Magic got 10 points in overtime from Dwight Howard and held a two-point lead with 3.2 seconds remaining, everyone knew James would take the last shot. After all, his stunning three-pointer won Game 2 for Cleveland, and he hit another one with 4.1 seconds left in OT to keep Cleveland alive. But James fell one miracle short. His final shot missed, allowing Orlando to escape with a 116-114 victory and a 3-1 series lead.
The Cavs now must overcome overwhelming odds to win the series. Since 1947, teams are only 8 for 182 in rallying from such a hole; in other words, they lose 96% of the time. The LeBron-Kobe NBA Finals that many fans, not to mention TV and Nike executives, were hoping to see likely won't happen this year. And without a stunning comeback, Cleveland gets to add another sorry chapter to its sports history.
"Why am I acting like this series is over? Because it is," Mike Freeman writes at CBS Sports. "This series is so done there should be an oven timer attached to it. Ding. Dwight Howard and Stan Van Gundy just took the Cavaliers out of the microwave and set the dinner table."
So, it doesn't look good, but the Cleveland Plain Dealer's Terry Pluto says the Cavs can still make things interesting. "Here's how you win one game — play defense," Pluto writes. "The Cavs came into the night giving up 100 points, allowing the Magic to shoot 49 percent in the first three games. Thursday, it was 116 points, 50 percent shooting. The key to all four games has been the third quarter. The Magic made adjustments that worked — and the Cavs did not. In the first three games, Orlando outscored the Cavs, 30-19, 25-19 and 26-22 heading into Tuesday. Game 4 was more of the same, Orlando taking the third quarter, 28-21."
In the Orlando Sentinel, George Diaz isn't surprised that the Magic won another tight playoff game. "They came back from last-second losses in the Philadelphia and Boston series and are on the verge of surviving the 'dagger' that LeBron James stuck on them with his buzzer-beater in Game 2," Diaz writes.

Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona's Lionel Messi are the two stars most fans will focus their attention on during Wednesday night's Champions League final in Rome. It'll settle the debate — at least temporarily — about who's the better soccer star.
The difficult task for Messi and Barca: Prevent United from repeating as champion. The Independent's James Lawton looks back to the 1986 World Cup finals in Mexico City to see how Argentine Diego Maradona left his mark against West Germany, something Messi hopes to do against United. "Maradona reveled in the attention of the world — and he delivered and, now nearly a quarter century on, the same question is being asked of another diminutive Argentine," Lawton writes. "Can Messi indeed prove exceptional to a degree that will be indelible down the years? Can he deliver as Maradona did? Can he make the best efforts of Manchester United seem as futile as those of Lothar Matthäus, the German master craftsman who was assigned to shadow genius in the Azteca Stadium and found it as elusive as a gust of wind? A little bit of every football fan, whatever his allegiance, wants it be so."
United has comparisons of its own, too: Ronaldo with George Best. "Gorgeous George put the beau into monde 40 years ago, his virtuosity on the pitch was embellished by a blue-eyed stare that bolted sex appeal to the United starship," Kevin Garside writes in the London's Daily Telegraph. "Best blew the footballing template to smithereens at a time when television was taking sport global. Before him Tom Finney and Stanley Matthews were cool. They never left the sports pages. 'El Beatle' was better looking than any in the band from which the moniker was coined. He blurred the lines between football and pop in the Swinging Sixties. Best was sporting rock 'n' roll."
In the Guardian, Richard Williams looks at the two managers: United's Sir Alex Ferguson and Barca's Pep Guardiola.
Be sure to check back at 2:45 p.m. ET as The Journal's Matthew Futterman live-blogs the game.

The Stanley Cup playoffs were compelling until the conference finals began: lots of close games, overtime games, seventh games. But this round isn't nearly as exciting. Without a miraculous comeback from a 3-1 series deficit, the Chicago Blackhawks will go down against the much superior Detroit Red Wings, who are on the cusp of setting up a Stanley Cup Finals rematch against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Pittsburgh routed overmatched Carolina, 4-1, Tuesday to sweep the Hurricanes for the East crown. For the series, Sidney Crosby & Co. outscored Carolina, 20-9.
"The Penguins, who have clinched three straight series on the road this spring, are now the first team since the 1984 Edmonton Oilers to lose in the Cup finals and return there the following season," ESPN's Scott Burnside writes. "It's not the last time you will read of that comparison. History, both short- and long-term, will worm its way into the plots and subplots of this Cup finals series. That Oilers team, likened by many to this Pittsburgh club last season, went on to win their first of five Stanley Cups over a seven-season span in 1984, beating the four-time defending champion New York Islanders, who had ousted Edmonton the previous spring."
The Pens haven't won anything, but that doesn't prevent the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Bob Smizik from calling them the NHL's best team. "Such domination brings to mind another Penguins team, the 1992 Stanley Cup champions," Smizik blogs. "That team ran off 11 straight wins to take their second Cup in two seasons. This team won't be able to mount an 11-game winning streak, but it is more than capable of winning the Cup, something no one had a right to even dream about in February."

It's still the offseason, but news about Tom Brady moves the New England Patriots to the front of the sports pages. Brady, who suffered a season-ending injury in Week 1 last season, has been throwing at Gillette Stadium and given an interview to Sports Illustrated's Peter King. The Boston Globe's Dan Shaughnessy weighs in on the Brady family sightings around town. "Gisele strolling in Brighton? Tom at our town cyclery? How did I miss them?" Shaughnessy writes.

My "go to" call lately has been my Calef Double Talk.
Been practicing on the XLT the last few days and I believe it is going to do just right.
Another RNT is still in my future though, when next year's birthday funds come back around!
Short Barrel/Timbre: Mellow, amazing low end, and good middle, how ever the real high end when you want to reach out and grab their attention isn't there. These calls are built to be used close range and in timber.
Daisy Cutter/Hunter: Great all around call. Can cover low end to big water call. The most versitale calls that RNT has.
MVP/Original: Covers the big water down to the small ponds. Generally not used for timber, but open fields and marshes; they work wonders.
Hope this helps.

Since Friday, Ole Miss has lost two things that they had in their grasp -- the Egg Bowl and a head football coach.
Ole Miss Chancellor Robert Khayat and athletic director Pete Boone met with Ed Orgeron at 9:00 a.m. Saturday to notify him that he will not be retained as the Rebels' head man.
Boone said there were five areas he evaluated Coach O in -- producing a fundamentally sound team, consistent motivation, leadership, ability to adapt, and game management. Although the school recently backed Orgeron publicly as their coach for 2008, Boone said Saturday that he just didn't fully meet the criteria down the stretch.
Coach O became the 35th head football coach at Ole Miss after he was hired to replace David Cutcliffe in December 2004. He posted a 10-25 record in three seasons in Oxford, with only three wins in the Southeastern Conference. In 2007, the Rebels went winless in the SEC for the first time since 1982.
According to Boone in a press conference, the athletic department had notified players of their decision to dismiss Orgeron by sending text messages Saturday morning.
He will meet with the team when they return to campus Sunday, but the media relations department at Ole Miss was able to talk with some of the players who seemed shocked by Saturday's turn of events.
"This was unforeseen...I hate it for the coaches and players, but you have to respect the decision that Ole Miss made," quarterback Seth Adams said.
"I am shocked," running back Benjarvis Green-Ellis told the school. "I never thought this would happen. It is unfortunate. The team has to stay together. The young guys have to grow stronger."
Coach Orgeron was regarded as one of the college game's greatest recruiters. His first full recruiting class was in 2006, and it was ranked one of the best in the country.
Coach O signed quarterback Brent Schaeffer that February, along with two Meridian High School standout running backs Cordera Eason and Derrick Davis.

When Akim Reid needed a physical for his job, he couldn't turn to his regular doctor – he doesn't have one. The Loxahatchee, Fla., resident called around for someone to do the exam. Everyone he called could see him … next month.
So he went online for a clinic that could take him on short notice. He found one – his local pharmacy.
Wendy Sparapani has a pediatrician for her 16-year-old son Justin. But when Justin's persistent cough became overwhelming, she didn't even bother with the doctor's office. A pharmacy not far from her Jupiter, Fla., home could see him in minutes.
In the past decade, millions of Americans each year have skipped the doctor's office or emergency room and headed to a pharmacy for everything from a flu shot to treatment for strep throat.
The nation's largest drugstore chain, Walgreens, recently announced that staff at its 360 clinics can now assess, treat and manage more chronic illnesses such as asthma and diabetes.
Meanwhile CVS, where Reid and Sparapani sought help, boasts 640 Minute Clinics in the U.S. with plans to have 1,500 by 2017.
All these clinics are staffed by either nurse practitioners or physicians' assistants. Both can write prescriptions and have advanced degrees.
The clinics are clearly meeting a public demand – one that is forecast to grow as the population ages and the Affordable Care Act extends insurance to another 34 million people. A survey published in January indicates that more than one-quarter of Americans have been to one of these clinics in the past two years. They cite convenience – no appointments, short waits and extended hours – as reasons.
And three-quarters of them had health insurance.
Some physicians fear this expansion could poses a health threat to the people treated.
Instead of having a "medical home" where a physician knows the patient's history, more patients will be leaving pieces of their medical histories scattered about town in various pharmacies.
"What about your mammograms, what about your diet or mental health? They're going to take care of parts. They aren't going to provide comprehensive medical care," said Dr. Jeffrey Cain, president of the American Academy of Family Physicians, who practices in Denver.
Cain and the academy do not write off pharmacy clinics entirely.
"If they're doing it in collaboration with a primary care physician, sharing lab results and information … that could enhance their care. But how do you make sure that happens?" asked Cain.
West Palm Beach, Fla., internist Dr. Daniel Fortier gives the retail clinics a mixed review.
It's often better for a patient to go to a pharmacy than clog the hospital emergency room, Fortier said.
"You need more ways to get care," Fortier said. "For the most part, I think it's going to increase that access to care."
That's important given that national health leaders forecast a shortage of 50,000 to 60,000 primary care physicians by 2025.
But when pharmacy clinics take on the treatment of more chronic conditions such as hypertension or diabetes, Fortier worries that they are taking on too much.
"The goal of the clinics from the very beginning was to work in collaboration with the medical community," said Sandra Ryan, chief nurse practitioner for the Walgreens clinics.
But a pile of studies and statistics indicate that not everyone has a regular doctor – by Walgreens' survey of its clients, about 30 percent to 40 percent don't.
"What we see every day is people will come in for an acute illness," Ryan said. "But they'll also have undiagnosed high blood pressure. The question is: What do you do then?"
Until now, the clinic's staff alerted the patient to his or her diagnosis, but all they could do was urge the patient to seek a physician's care. Under Walgreens' new policy, the staff could go further by beginning treatment.
"We can get them care as soon as possible," said Shalan Randolph, who manages 10 Walgreens clinics in Florida.
But even after the patient has begun treatment, Walgreens will continue to refer him to a doctor.
At every turn, Walgreens and CVS say their practitioners refer patients back to their primary care doctors when they have one. If the patient doesn't have one, the pharmacies keep a list of local physicians who will take patients.

National Archives
Open daily 10 am - 5 pm
Fall & Winter
10 am - 9 pm
Summer Season
Imagine seeing the original documents that were written by our forefathers as they created the United States government. At the National Archives you can view the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence. The National Archives was set up in 1934 to maintain the many invaluable government documents that shape our history and define our democracy. Journey through time and experience the struggles and triumphs of America at the Archives Experience, a dramatic, educational presentation. Visit the various components of the archives to get a feel for the immense importance of the documents and records that are kept here. Exhibits include the Charters of Freedom, the Public Vaults and the William G. McGowan Theater, a state-of-the-art theater that features a remarkable film showing the relationship of records and democracy through the lives of real people. Be sure to visit the Special Exhibition Gallery filled with exhibits on newsworthy topics and traveling exhibits from Presidential Libraries and other sources. There's also a special section devoted to educating children, youth, parents and teachers on the significance of the National Archives collection.
The National Gallery of Art was created in 1937. Through the generosity of Andrew W. Mellon, a financier who was also a public servant, the Museum gained its first collection. Mellon had a passion for art and his large collection of old master paintings, sculpture and other works were intended for all of America to enjoy. After his death, Congress accepted his collection and thus the National Gallery was born. Today, works from the middle-ages to the present day are on display throughout the museum, including pieces by Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci, Matisse and more. And while you're appreciating the majesty of the artwork, take a moment to admire the beauty and uniqueness of the buildings. The older West building was designed by the same architect who designed the Jefferson Memorial, and the style of the building fits harmoniously with the stately, neoclassical look of the area. On the contrary, the East Building, which is home to the more modern works, has a geometrical appearance. The two buildings are joined together by a passageway that features restaurants and specialty shops related to the museum.
Open Mon - Sat:

One of the newest museums in the area, The Marian Koshland Science Museum, offers cutting-edge exhibitions that serve to enlighten visitors about the numerous studies conducted by the National Academies and to instill a better understanding of the immense impact science has on all of our lives. Many temporary exhibits and several permanent ones create an environment of eagerness and interest as visitors learn about such topics as global warming, the application of DNA, infectious diseases and their origins and the Wonders of Science. A great experience for adults and children, interactive, hands-on exhibits and displays and many other educational presentations make the Marian Koshland Science Museum a favorite stop in the city.
The US Navy Memorial is a truly spectacular tribute to those who served or are currently serving in the nation's sea services. A stunning plaza paved in granite forms a 100-foot diameter of the world. Fountains, pools, flags and historic panels surround the deck of the plaza tracing the achievements of the Navy, Marines, Coast Guard and Merchant Marines. The famous Lone Sailor statue stands as a representation of the men who joined the service to fulfill their patriotic duty; a striking sight, it is perhaps one of the most well-known aspects of the memorial. Guests can also stop by the Naval Heritage Center which features the Arleigh Burke Theater, several exhibits about the sea services, and is home to several Navy Log kiosks, for easy registration on the Navy Log. The Naval Heritage Center also provides daily screenings of the films At Sea and A Day in the Life of the Blue Angels.

News & Events
Curriculum and Parent Education Events
Back to School Night (September)
Parents and teachers gather in the classrooms to discuss the new school year, classroom logistics, activities and events. This is a great opportunity for fellow parents to meet and greet in anticipation of the year ahead.
Curriculum Tours (September and January)
These events are by far the best way to experience the MFS curriculum. Held at both the Early Childhood Campus (September) and the Elementary/Middle School campus (January), parents get the opportunity to sit in each classroom and use the Montessori materials themselves. In this way, they can truly appreciate what their children do everyday in language, math, sensorial, cultural and practical life. Teachers present the works at the early childhood campus, while the students present the works at the elementary/middle school campus.
Elementary and Middle School Overviews (November/January)
For parents of preschool and elementary students, these overviews are a great way to learn about what lies ahead for their children as they transition to the next level of education at Montessori Family School.
Middle School Parent Education Night (November)
Middle school parents experience a few hours in their children's day. Morning meeting and announcements precede the chance for parents to do some of their children's class work. This is a true hands-on experience.
Silent Journey (February)
The Silent Journey is a parent workshop that is an observation from early childhood through middle school to immerse parents in what the children experience on a daily basis. Parents will see what the child sees, experience what s/he experiences, and learn what (and how) s/he learns.
The Silent Journey has two parts—Friday evening and Saturday morning. It is required that parents attend both sessions in order to engage in the full experience.
Early Childhood Open Classrooms (March)
At this casual afternoon event, parents are invited to tour their child's classroom, with their child as their guide. They have ample opportunity to sit and work together.
Community Events
Welcome Events (September)
Each school year begins with welcome events at each campus that give new families the opportunity to meet returning families. This is a great way for friends to reconnect after the long summer break.
Spaghetti Dinner (October)
The annual spaghetti dinner is an MFS tradition that is almost as old as the school. The entire community gathers at the El Cerrito campus and enjoys a pasta feast and a wide variety of desserts.
Family Dance (December)
Students and parents from both campuses gather in the community room at the El Cerrito campus to dance into the wee hours of the early evening, while enjoying pizza and great music to get everyone moving on the dance floor.
Grandparents and Special Friends Day (December)
Students at the El Cerrito campus invite grandparents or special friends to join them for a morning of special activities in the classroom and around the school. It's a wonderful chance for the children to show off their school to these special loved ones.
Ladies Night Out (January)
All of the ladies from the school look forward to this evening throughout the year. Hosted at the home of a different parent each year, moms, teachers, and staff members gather for a fun evening of chatting, cocktails, hors d'oerves and desserts.
Dad's Poker Night (February)
Given the opportunity for a gathering, the men—dads, teachers and staff –break out the cards, chips and their wallets for an evening of poker. Proceeds go to the MFS Parents' Association.
Spring Soirée (March)
This fun-filled, adults-only event is Montessori Family School's biggest and most important fundraising event. Held annually, parents, teachers and staff have the chance to mingle, dance and bid on auction items, all for a great cause—supporting MFS.
Movie Night (May)
All MFS families are invited to bring blankets and pillows and enjoy pizza and popcorn while watching a movie in the community room at the El Cerrito campus. Everyone can vote in advance to choose the movie that will be aired.
Music and Art
Winter Concert (December)
This amazing musical event includes a performance by all students from preschool through middle school in celebration of the winter holidays. Traditionally, upper elementary students write and perform a song for this fun all-school event.
Spring Concert and Art Show (June)
Following a week-long show that features the artistic efforts of the students from kindergarten-transition through middle school, the students present a concert celebrating the Spring and end of the school year. The performance is a showcase of rhythm and a culmination of all they have learned in music this year. Preschool families are encouraged to attend.

WebMD Answers
If medications don't completely resolve your symptoms of acid reflux disease and the symptoms are severely interfering with your life, your doctor could recommend surgery. A surgical procedure called fundoplication can help prevent further acid reflux. It creates an artificial valve using the top of your stomach. The procedure involves wrapping the upper part of the stomach around the LES to strengthen it, prevent acid reflux, and repair a hiatal hernia. Surgeons perform this procedure through either an open incision in the abdomen or chest or with a lighted tube inserted through a tiny incision in the abdomen. This procedure is done only as a last resort for treatment of acid reflux disease.

text: I'm still toying with writing an urban fantasy series, and I've been playing around with various magic systems for a while now. I wanted something flexible and fairly simple, and hope this is that, but I could use a bit of devil's advocatery to ensure I'm not missing anything obvious and maybe offer up some suggestions. Essentially everyone is capable of doing a small thing magically, but it is very unusual for people to ever uncover their tiny magical talent, and many do not ever notice it when it manifests. If someone does discover their talent they can gradually expand upon it slowly broadening it from a single use gimmick to a versatile set of abilities. The world is our world with real magic, and most magical creatures stem from interbreeding of those with similar talents to produce a new race. So mermaids were the results of hundreds of thousands of years of interbreeding by those with magical links to water and the sea, etc. For example Brian discovers he can make a spark by clicking his fingers. He eventually learns to use this to light cigarettes, and then with a great deal of practice is able to create small fires. If he is untrained this is likely all he will ever be able to do, but by following an appropriate codex he can see what has helped others with similar abilities to advance and his powers will grow exponentially faster. Brian might be able to convert his heat energy into kinetic energy broadening his abilities, learn to use other parts of his body or just his mind to apply his abilities, etc. However, there will always be certain abilities he cannot access due to the nature of his magic as his ability to make sparks remains the foundation of his magic. An appropriate codex for Brian would walk him through the steps another wizard used to develop from making small fires to being able to hurl flames. It might tell him how to think about his power, how to use ingredients and the enviroment to enhance it, etc. But a codex by a wizard who could manipulate water would be useless to him unless it was of a higher level. A weather manipulation codex might be usable by both fire and water based wizards since both would be able to achieve a level of heat manipulation with their abilities, etc. My hope is that I can have fairly homgenous wizardry at some levels with distinct factions. There can also be wizards with unusual talents who are both helped and hindered by having to develop their abilities outside the norm. The protagonist I am contemplating is essentially an illusionist from another angle, he has the ability to create and manipulate bubbles which he eventually learns to color and manipulate virtually at will. So he could create a facsimilie of a person that would move and look like a person, but it would essentially be a bubble or balloon and burst on contact. A more normal illusionist would manipulate either light or the mind. Some illusionist tricks would be open to the balloon man some would not, etc., but methods for seeing through "normal" illusions would fail against his magic because the bubbles are real illusions. Does that make sense? Any thoughts, ideas, critiques appreciated.

Student Portfolios
Faculty in the Colorado College Environmental Program have discussed the importance of offering majors an opportunity to create a web-based portfolio covering the courses, field experiences, research experiences, writing, major concepts, and other dimensions to their major.
Both sections of Environmental Inquiry (EV 221) require that you initiate an EV portfolio that will be the start of an ongoing process that you are expected to add reflections and evidence of your learning the core EV skills and content in future EV classes. The majors portfolio may include examples from prior classes and should be expandable to include entries as you go through the EV major.
The major's portfolio documents the objectives the program has for EV students, who:
- Will have a rigorous intellectual foundation in cross-disciplinary environmental issues
- Will have demonstrated competence in reading and critically evaluating environmental literature
- Will have demonstrated effective oral and written communication skills
- Will have the necessary quantitative and qualitative reasoning skills to critically analyze environmental issues from scientific, political, economic, and societal perspectives
- Will have demonstrated practical "field" experience beyond the classroom through scientific or social research, or related environmental internship.
- Will have demonstrated the capacity to develop a sense of place through personal environmental stewardship and service
- Will have demonstrated an understanding of systems-based approaches to environmental problems.
- Will have demonstrated that they are engaged about current environmental topics by contributing to a greater understanding of environmental problems or helping to implement solutions for environmental problems in the Front Range and the greater southwest through engagement such as through service learning activities.
Please see the following pages to learn more about the EV Electronic Portfolio:
- What is it? A description of electronic portfolios

This paper resulted from a study that was performed by the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory, Inc. for the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. A new type of transportation system is defined and described. It is intended for use, primarily, in metropolitan areas where the land use is so deployed that the automobile currently is the dominant form of transportation. It is expected to alleviate the growing problem of traffic and parking congestion in the central business district of such cities and to reduce air pollution.
The system uses a dual-mode vehicle, one that can operate on streets and highways in the manner of a conventional automobile. Also, it can enter an exclusive guideway at discrete access points and be routed and propelled, automatically, to a destination station. For operation on the street, this electrically propelled vehicle draws its power from an internally stored energy source (storage battery). When on the guideway, the car takes its power from a "third rail." The basic vehicle is a small, four-passenger machine, but the system can accommodate a small bus (10–14 passengers) and light delivery trucks.

Swimming Against Amazon's Tide
Posted at 7:21AM Monday 11 Aug 2014Economists have argued for years that climatic conditions can provoke revolution. If France hadn't suffered a drought in 1788, and then an unusually cold winter, Marie Antoinette might have spent many happy decades stuffing her face with cake. During this humid summer of 2014, writers, performers and their producers are rebelling. But it's all taking place through the medium of the strongly worded letter.

W. M. Keck Observatory Headquarters Welcomes Your Visit
With the successful launch of the W. M. Keck Observatory Volunteer Program, residents and visitors of the Island of Hawai'i are encouraged to visit the Observatory's headquarters in Waimea. Our volunteers are available Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to greet guests and educate them about Keck and the other Mauna Kea observatories. Visitors can view models and images of the twin 10-meter Keck telescopes as well as hear about our latest discoveries and outreach programs. We also sell KeckWear merchandise, including DVDs and books about the Observatory.
Our headquarters is located at 65-1120 Mamalahoa Hwy in the town of Waimea. We welcome your visit.
Visiting the Summit of Mauna Kea
The summit of Mauna Kea provides dramatic scenery and an unforgettable visitor experience. The W. M. Keck Observatory does not provide tours of Mauna Kea at this time. Guests with 4-wheel drive vehicles are permitted to drive to the 14,000-foot summit of Mauna Kea, weather permitting. At the summit, the W. M. Keck Observatory provides a visitor's gallery with exhibits describing our research and operations. The gallery also contains two public restrooms and a viewing area with partial views of the Keck I telescope and dome (look for the blue door). Gallery hours are 10 a.m.- 4 p.m., Monday-Friday.
If you have questions about the weather and road conditions, please call (808) 935-6268.
Safety reminder: The summit of Mauna Kea at nearly 14,000-feet altitude, presents unique challenges to visitors. Visits to the summit require a 30 minute acclimatization stop at the 9,200-foot Onizuka Visitor's Center, warm clothing for the summit, sunscreen for protection from excessive UV radiation, and water. A four-wheel-drive vehicle is required beyond the 9,200 foot level as the air is too thin to adequately cool a vehicle's brakes upon descent.
Temperatures on the summit can fall to 20 degrees Fahrenheit, or minus four degrees Celsius, within a matter of hours; it is highly recommended that all visitors to the summit take warm clothing and sturdy footgear sufficient to withstand the elements should the vehicle break down. High winds on the summit can often result in blowing snow, sleet, fog and sometimes, flying rocks. Winds can reach 150 mph; beyond 75 mph vehicles are at risk for being blown off the road.
The summit of Mauna Kea is one of the most remote locations in the Islands. Medical and auto help is a minimum of two hours away. Most car rental companies void the rental contract if their cars are driven on Saddle Road and to the summit. It is a safety requirement of the road-maintenance organization for the summit that all vehicles driving up and down the mountain beyond the Hale Pohaku basecamp be four-wheel-drive vehicles. Caution is advised.
The Mauna Kea Visitor Information Center , located at the 9,200-foot basecamp, also provides information about astronomy and the environmental, cultural and geological features of the mountain. After dark, there are free stargazing programs.
