Toy Story fans re-make movie with real toys – video
Desperate to get Pixar's attention two fanboys remade a hit movie the old-fashioned way
IT WAS a case of back to the future when two aspiring film-makers decided to get the attention of the US animation studio Pixar by recreating Toy Story using real toys.
The impressive video of their efforts has been seen by more than 1.5 million people since it was posted on YouTube on Sunday.
Jonason Pauley, 19, and Jesse Perrotta, 21 from California created their shot-for-shot remake with a budget of $1,000 and help from 150 friends. Their sole aim was to get an invitation to the studio in Emeryville, California to see where their favourite movies have been made.
Pixar have confirmed they've received the lovingly made film, but there's no word yet on whether Pauley and Perrotta will get an invitation.

MORENCI -- Five days into the massive search, and still no sign of the three Skelton brothers.
"I refuse to believe that [they're dead]," said Police Chief Larry Weeks on Wednesday. "It is my desire to maintain hope."
But his department suggested Wednesday the search for 9-year-old Andrew, 7-year-old Alexander and 5-year-old Tanner Skelton is shifting from rescue to recovery.
"As I said yesterday, the information that we have would not indicate that this is gonna have a positive outcome," Weeks said.
This as the boys' father, John Skelton, awaits an extradition hearing in Ohio on December 14th. He appeared in court there Wednesday to say he'd fight his extradition back to Lenawee county on charges of kidnapping.
The 39-year-old tried to commit suicide last Friday, the day after the boys were last seen, telling authorities he left them with a woman he met on the Internet. Police have since said that woman, a so-called Joann Taylor, doesn't exist.
As of Friday, meanwhile, police say they'll be sending the hundreds of volunteers who've shown up here home -- to give authorities the weekend to decide how to move forward.
"One of the things that people can transition into from volunteering is searching their own properties," Weeks said.
But residents here say they haven't lost hope. Hundreds mushed through a light coating of snow and freezing temperatures Wednesday, as they have for five days now, saying they feel it's their duty.
"If it were one of my grandkids or one of my kids, I'd want some help, too," one volunteer said.
And desperately hoping for a holiday miracle.
"I'd love to find these kids alive," another said. "They're not giving us a lot of hope, but there's always hope."
The rest of this sleepy town of about 2,000 people has come to a virtual standstill to focus on finding the Skelton brothers. City Hall is closed through the weekend, and literally hundreds of new volunteers show up here every day.

Oakland and Alameda schoolchildren said goodbye to summer and returned to the classroom Monday to meet new classmates, new teachers and -- in some cases -- new principals.
Many schools have their own special back-to-school traditions, but it's hard to imagine more fanfare than that Monday morning at Grass Valley Elementary, a school in the hills above the Oakland Zoo.
PTA members with pompons flanked the front lobby, cheering on the children and their parents the moment they walked through the double doors. Members of the Grass Valley Dads Club greeted families and recruited members outside, on their way to or from the school.
"A lot of kids are new," explained Mildred Oliver, the school's PTA president, who is also an Oakland police officer. "A lot of kids are coming in with some kind of anxiety, and we just want to welcome them."
For some Bay Area teachers, the new school year doesn't just mean different students; it means more of them. Class sizes, which once averaged 20 students in kindergarten through third grade, have risen in recent years. Some districts now average 30 students or more in those grades. At Grass Valley Elementary, Helen Behr led a game so that her 28 first-graders could practice walking around safely without bumping into one another.
In a back-to-school Facebook post to her Oakland colleagues, Oakland teacher Ilyse Opas wrote that the roster for her first- and second-grade combination class included 32 students.
"32 is the new 20!" she wrote. "Enjoy, y'all."
Despite the hundreds of pink slips issued in March and the dozens of final layoff notices delivered in May, the Oakland school district ended up offering jobs to its laid-off K-12 teachers -- and hired 195 more, said Jeffrey Dillon, the district's recruitment supervisor. He attributed the open positions to high teacher turnover. As of Monday, he said, there were two vacancies in special education, but that the other classroom teaching positions had been filled.
About 18 of Oakland's roughly 100 schools has a new principal this year.
Early reports suggested a smooth start to the school year -- in most places. Students on the Castlemont high school campus and at East Oakland PRIDE Elementary school, however, spent hours in an emergency lockdown as police searched the area for suspects in a carjacking and armed confrontation with officers that had taken place across town earlier in the day.
The police-ordered lockdown at Castlemont began just a few minutes after Oakland Superintendent Tony Smith had finished his back-to-school tour of the MacArthur Boulevard campus, about 12:30 p.m., district spokesman Troy Flint said. Flint, who spent the afternoon in the Castlemont cafeteria because of the lockdown, said it lasted for nearly three hours.
Julissa Lambert-Yank, a teacher on special assignment at East Oakland PRIDE, said because the lockdown happened at lunchtime, some children were forced to remain in the cafeteria for hours, while others waited as long to eat lunch.
"We're very saddened by the whole thing," she said. Tomorrow, she said, "will be a retake."

Background: Simple prediction scores could help identify adults at high risk for diabetes.
Objective: To derive and validate scoring systems by using longitudinal data from a study that repeatedly tested for incident diabetes.
Design: Prospective cohort, divided into derivation and validation samples.
Setting: The ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities) study, which followed participants for 14.9 years beginning in 1987 to 1989.
Participants: 12Â 729 U.S. adults (baseline age, 45 to 64 years; 22.8% black). Follow-up was 96.1% at 5 years and 72.2% at 10 years.
Measurements: Anthropometry, blood pressure, and pulse (basic system) plus a fasting blood specimen assayed for common analytes (enhanced system). Diabetes was identified in 18.9% of participants. Risk score integer points were derived from proportional hazard coefficients associated with baseline categorical variables and quintiles of continuous variables.
Results: The basic scoring system included waist circumference (10 to 35 points); maternal diabetes (13 points); hypertension (11 points); and paternal diabetes, short stature, black race, age 55 years or older, increased weight, rapid pulse, and smoking history (≤8 points each). The enhanced system included glucose (6 to 28 points); waist circumference (5 to 21 points); maternal diabetes (8 points); and triglycerides, black race, paternal diabetes, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration, short stature, high uric acid, age 55 years or older, hypertension, rapid pulse, and nonuse of alcohol (≤7 points each). When applied to the validation sample, ascending quintiles of the basic system were associated with a 10-year incidence of diabetes of 5.3%, 8.7%, 15.5%, 24.5%, and 33.0%, respectively. Quintiles of the enhanced system were associated with a 10-year incidence of 3.5%, 6.4%, 11.5%, 19.3%, and 46.1%.
Limitations: The risk scoring systems had no question regarding previous gestational diabetes, and knowledge of parental diabetes may be uncertain. The analyzed cohort was restricted by age and race; the systems may be less effective in other samples.
Conclusion: Basic information identified adults at high risk for diabetes. Additional data from fasting blood tests better identified those at extreme risk.

Pulse Mass Index for Predicting Diabetes, Cardiovascular Risk and effects of anti diabetic drugs
Henry S. Kahn et al developed an scoring system for predicting Diabetes mellitus which includes, among other parameters, stature or height, increased weight and rapid pulse. These are the component of both, the Body Mass Index and the Pulse Mass Index.
I reported ten years ago in Lancet March 13, 1999, that the Pulse Mass Index (Resting Heart Rate multiplied by the Body Mass Index and divided by 1730) has a very high and direct correlation with the global cardiovascular risk as calculated by the Framingham Risk Score, and that persons with a Pulse Mass Index of 1.3 or over, have a high probability to be at high global cardiovascular risk.
Now, in this issue of Annals (June 2, 2009), the study by Kahn et al demonstrates that the elements of the Pulse Mass Index are also useful for predicting Diabetes mellitus.
In this issue I also comment that cardiovascular or metabolic drugs that reduce or not increase the Pulse Mass Index, like Beta blockers or metformin, tend to improve the long term cardiovascular prognosis, contrary to drugs like rapid acting vasodilators that increase pulse rate, retain water and do not reduce mortality, or like glitazones that increase weight or intensive glycemic control with glitazones and insulin, that do not improve the long term cardiovascular prognosis when associated with weight gain or hypoglycaemia (and related tachycardia), so that the Pulse Mass Index can also be of help to predict the potential benefits or adverse reactions of cardiovascular and anti diabetic drugs.

Manchester United have long worked in different ways to other football clubs. Ignore the voracious appetite for commercial deals and the glamour of their swashbuckling sides throughout the last 50 years or so and you find a relatively traditional football club that prides itself on a reputation for loyalty.
Sir Alex Ferguson joined the club in 1986 after a poor start to the season for the previous manager Ron Atkinson. Contrary to what many may believe, although underperforming United were not completely in the doldrums when he arrived—they had not finished lower than fourth since 1981.
However, Ferguson saw that there were particular problems with the squad that needed addressing if they were to make that final push for league glory and set about putting into place a long-term plan for the club.
The clear-out was long and painful. In three of his first four seasons in charge, United finished outside the top 10.
Still, the board backed him.
Stories differ as to whether the axe actually was ready to swing or not in 1990, but Mark Robins is credited by many as the man who saved Ferguson from losing his job. His goal against Nottingham Forest began a successful FA Cup campaign that was to usher in a long golden period for Manchester United.
All dynasties must end, though, and now in 2014 we arrive at a transitional period for the club.
Transition i defined as "the process or a period of changing from one state or condition to another." It is often used to describe a lull in the performances of clubs as they get used to a new man in charge.
Yet in many football clubs, managers seem to come and go regularly. The crutch of a "transitional period" is simply not allowed. For example, since 1945 Chelsea have ushered in some 30 full- and part-time bosses. Look further afield and you will see that Real Madrid's count is 49. A new coach arrives and is expected to succeed immediately or face the consequences.
Manchester United have never traditionally acted in that manner. Sir Alex might be the most high-profile example of keeping the faith, but in the same 50-year time frame, they have had just 10 managerial changes.
With only minor exceptions, there is a clear pattern of Manchester United giving their man a chance. It is difficult to argue which is the correct method, though, as all three clubs have had their successes.
Sir Matt Busby managed the club for over 20 years through a period of tragedy and glory. The club allowed the great man to follow his vision into Europe and carve his and United's names forever into the history books.
Tommy Docherty presided over the despair of United's relegation to the Second Division back in the '70s. The board stood by their man, though. He was given the opportunity to build his own free-flowing side to gain promotion back to the top flight just a year later. A scandal in his personal life meant that he would not get the chance to add any more silverware to his single FA Cup win.
Fast-forward to the present. Relegation might not be a threat but the deficiencies in the playing squad have been there for all to see for some time. Surely David Moyes will also have spotted them during his time at Everton. Just as Sir Alex had back in 1986, he will have had a good idea of what he wanted to change, but probably believed that, as champions, the current squad would buy him a little time first.
The manager recently commented, per Jamie Jackson and Dominic Fifield of the Guardian, that his current ageing squad would have struggled to win the Premier League even with Sir Alex in charge. This might not have seemed the best motivational stance for him to take, but it might be a sign of a more defiant and assertive David Moyes.
It was certainly a brave move, but then he has nothing left to lose at this stage, with some supporters starting to voice their dissent with high-profile stunts as reported.
Look back to Sir Alex and the now-infamous "Ta-Ra Fergie" sign, then imagine what the last 26 years would look like if the club had heeded the call. We now know, of course, that the board was aware of the amount of background work Ferguson was doing in order to build an environment equipped for success.
If Moyes was to be sacked this season with no real chance to impose his own ideas or players onto the squad that he inherited, what message does that send? That the next man has 10 months to change things around or he's out as well? The Glazers may well be hard-nosed businessmen, but that would require a complete about-face of the usual Manchester United method of working—something of which they do appear to be mindful.
Supporters might well be questioning his employment, but they must be prepared for Moyes to get at least another season. If he then fails to impose his ideas on the squad or show any signs that he has a tangible plan, the board might be forced to think again.
For now, it is likely that they will uphold tradition, follow the "United" way and give their man a chance.

'Guilty Until Proven Innocent': Not the American Way
By Congressman John Lewis and Bryan Stevenson | 5/24/2013, noon
After serving 42 years in an Arizona prison for a crime he didn't commit, a 58-year-old man was finally released this April. When Louis Taylor was just 16, he ventured out of his comfort zone to try a happy hour advertised by an upscale Tucson hotel, a typical foray for an adventurous teenage boy. Unfortunately, that night a fire broke out that ultimately claimed 29 lives. In that moment, Taylor stopped being typical and became extraordinary. He did not run from the danger as most people would. Instead he took responsibility. He was spotted during the crisis busily helping people escape the flames, escorting guests to safety and assisting people on stretchers.
Ordinarily, he would have been hailed a teenage hero for demonstrating a civic duty only expected of grown men. Yet eyewitness accounts of his beyond-the-call-of-duty service were not credited as outstanding demonstrations of good character. To police and even some bystanders his very presence made him automatically suspect. More than the possibility that he could have saved someone's life, people were consumed by their sense that he "did not belong in a fancy Tucson hotel".
The forensic evidence suggested faulty electrical wiring or some building defect as the likely cause, not arson, but scientific facts could not derail a hardwired determination that because Taylor was black, he had to be at fault. His youth, his innocence, and even his dramatic work to save and comfort the victims were imperceptible and irrelevant.
Outraged citizens wanted the death penalty. A profiler was brought in who swore under oath that the likely perpetrator was "a black teenager." Taylor was convicted by an all-white jury and sentenced to multiple life sentences, ensuring he would die in prison. Fortunately, the Arizona Justice Project recently took up the case. New research from the National Academy of Science proved there was no evidence of arson in the fire. Wrongly convicted, Taylor was finally released-42 years later.
It would be hard to call Mr. Taylor lucky, but the truth is thousands just like him, including innocent children, are being victimized by a presumption of guilt that never sees black and brown youth as blameless, as engaged in proverbial "good, clean, fun", as harmless. Instead it attributes to them every violence and vice, even if those suspicions contradict the facts.
The presumption of guilt follows too many poor and minority children to school, a place where children should be nurtured and supported, not criminalized and incarcerated. Yet the pipeline from school to jail is so insidious, many parents now fear schools as much as they fear the criminal justice system.
Children as young as five years old are being led out of classrooms in handcuffs for acting out or throwing temper tantrums. They have been arrested for throwing an eraser at a teacher, breaking a pencil, and having rap lyrics in a locker. Black children constitute 18 percent of the nation's public school population but 40% of the children who are suspended or expelled.
In the year when this nation will celebrate the Supreme Court's historic ruling to create a right to counsel for indigent people accused of crimes, protections for the poor and innocent are almost non-existent.
The Innocent Defendant's Dilemma, a recent study, describes how the blameless, particularly those who are poor, find it an onerous, nearly impossible burden to prove their innocence. With few resources for defense, they find themselves trapped by a system that presumes their guilt. Since the odds seem hopelessly stacked against them, many innocent individuals reluctantly plead guilty to avoid the longest prison terms or even death.
We have come a great distance in the last 50 years, but we still have not fully escaped the miseducation and distortions created by America's policies of racial injustice. These problems demand remedies, and we must admit this nation may require some form of therapy before we can freely reconcile ourselves to a better future.
As Taylor's story reminds us, out of sight is hardly out of mind. It is an abysmal violation of human dignity.

AbstractCirculating tumor cells (CTCs) can provide a non-invasive, repeatable snapshot of an individual patient's tumor. In prostate cancer, CTC enumeration has been extensively studied and validated as a prognostic tool and has received FDA clearance for use in monitoring advanced disease. More recently, CTC analysis has been shifting from enumeration to more sophisticated molecular characterization of captured cells, which serve as a "liquid biopsy" of the tumor, reflecting molecular changes in an individual's malignancy over time. Here we will review the main CTC studies in advanced and localized prostate cancer, highlighting the important gains as well as the challenges posed by various approaches, and their implications for advancing prostate cancer management.

Brazilian Pfaffia paniculata
Common names: Suma, Brazilian ginseng, pfaffia, para toda, corango-acu Part Used: Root Suma is a large, rambling, shrubby ground vine with an intricate, deep, and extensive root system. It is indigenous to the Amazon basin and other tropical parts of (southern) Brazil, Ecuador, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Venezuela. Since its first botanical recording in 1826, it has been referred to by several botanical names, including Pfaffia paniculata, Hebanthe paniculata, and Gomphrena paniculata. The genus Pfaffia is well known in Central and South America, with over 50 species growing in the warmer tropical regions. TRIBAL AND HERBAL MEDICINE USES In South America suma is known as para toda (which means "for all things") and as Brazilian ginseng, since it is widely used as an adaptogen with many applications (much as "regular" ginseng). The indigenous peoples of the Amazon region who named it para toda have used suma root for generations for a wide variety of health purposes, including as a general tonic; as an energy, rejuvenating, and sexual tonic; and as a general cure-all for many types of illnesses. Suma has been used as an aphrodisiac, a calming agent, and to treat ulcers for at least 300 years. It is an important herbal remedy in the folk medicine of several rainforest Indian tribes today. In herbal medicine throughout the world today, suma is considered a tonic and an adaptogen. The herbal definition of an adaptogen is a plant that increases the body's resistance to adverse influences by a wide range of physical, chemical, and biochemical factors and has a normalizing or restorative effect on the body as a whole. In modern Brazilian herbal medicine practices, suma root is employed as a cellular oxygenator and taken to stimulate appetite and circulation, increase estrogen production, balance blood sugar levels, enhance the immune system, strengthen the muscular system, and enhance memory. In North American herbal medicine, suma root is used as an adaptogenic and regenerative tonic regulating many systems of the body; as an immunostimulant; to treat exhaustion and chronic fatigue, impotence, arthritis, anemia, diabetes, cancer, tumors, mononucleosis, high blood pressure, PMS, menopause, and hormonal disorders, and many types of stress. In herbal medicine in Ecuador today, suma is considered a tonic and "normalizer" for the cardiovascular system, the central nervous system, the reproductive system, and the digestive system; it is used to treat hormonal disorders, sexual dysfunction and sterility, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, circulatory and digestive disorders, rheumatism, and bronchitis. Thomas Bartram, in his book Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine, reports that suma is used in Europe to restore nerve and glandular functions, to balance the endocrine system, to strengthen the immune system, for infertility, menopausal, and menstrual symptoms, to minimize the side effects of birth control medications, for high cholesterol, to neutralize toxins, and as a general restorative tonic after illness.

Shiny Things
Now, the crux of a good water-cooling setup is having a case to put it in. I have my trusty GIGABYTE Aurora case which has plenty of bays as well as mounts on the rear for 2x120mm fans. But most importantly, it has a side window so I can show off the water-cooled beauty when it's complete.
Now it's time to start connecting it all up.
Step 1:
Mount the CPU in the motherboard and apply thermal gunk. I recommend a decent silver based compound as opposed to ceramic white gunk for better performance.
Then assemble the rear bracket according to instructions. Make sure you have the foam sandwich in between the metal bracket and the isolation layer; we wouldn't want any nasty shorts on the board!
Mount through the motherboard holes and seat your CPU water block on top. If you have the luxury of orientation that socket 775 allows for, then try to ensure that the block doesn't interfere with any surrounding components.
Slip on the plastic rings and then tighten each side down with equal force so that the CPU block is seated firmly, but not over tightened. Each screw should protrude the same amount from the top of each nut.

Robinson Crusoe
by Daniel Defoe
Analysis: Trivia
Brain Snacks: Tasty Tidbits of Knowledge
Alexander Selkirk was a real-life 18th-century castaway who was stranded for four years on an uninhabited island off the coast of Chile. He is generally thought to have inspired Defoe's Robinson Crusoe (source).
Daniel Defoe published a sequel to Robinson Crusoe the same year his novel debuted. In it, Crusoe travels all over the world to places like Madagascar and Siberia. The book's title? The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe (source).
Daniel Defoe published his very first novel when he was 59 years old (source).
Before writing his most famous novel, Defoe tried his hand as a wholesale hosier. (That means he sold stockings. Glamorous? Not so much.) He also owned a factory and worked as a journalist (source).
In 1703, Daniel Defoe was arrested and put in the pillory for seditious libel. He not only wrote novels, but also satirical political pamphlets – some of which got him in big trouble (source).
Robinson Crusoe was a bestseller in 1719, the year it was published. Another bestseller from 1719? Eliza Haywood's Love in Excess.
Robinson Crusoe inspired a whole genre of island survival tales, known as Robinsonades. The genre is still alive and well today (see also: Castaway, Survivor, and Lost).
Don't believe us that Robinson Crusoe, published in 1719, was really all that popular? Here's some proof: "By 1895, 196 editions of Robinson Crusoe had been published, 114 revisions, 277 imitations, and 110 translations–translations in Dutch, Hebrew, Armenian, Bengali, Persian, and even Eskimo, to name a few" (source).

Hunter Hayes Scores First ACM Nomination
Finds out while on the road with Rascal Flatts.
Word sure travels fast these days. Hunter Hayes ("Storm Warning") was actually doing an interview when the nominations for Academy of Country Music New Artist of the Year were announced on Thursday (Feb. 9). "I was on the phone and I felt it just buzzing out of my hand," Hunter says. "Buzz, buzz, buzz with a bunch of friends and family texting me. It's still hard to believe. It's amazing. It's an honor."
He'll compete in the category with Brantley Gilbert and Scotty McCreery.
Hunter, who will turn 21 later this year and who first gained notoriety when Hank Williams Jr. brought him onstage at age 4, didn't expect an ACM nomination so early in his career. "I don't think it was too soon, but sooner than I expected," he says. "I've been playing music for a long time, but I consider last year and this year to be my first year. I feel like all of my years of playing music have been training for where I am right now.
"I'm going to live it up tonight," Hunter says with a laugh. "We're going to drink an extra pot of coffee in honor of [the nomination]." Hunter is currently touring with Rascal Flatts on the trio's Thaw Out Tour.
Voting for New Artist of the Year will take place at voteacm.com beginning March 19 at 12 noon ET and will continue until 8 p.m. ET on April 1.
Leading up to the ACM Awards, fans can watch interviews and exclusive performances with the three nominees on GAC's ACM New Artist of the Year special, premiering March 19 at 9 p.m. ET and re-airing multiple times until voting closes on April 1.
The winner of the New Artist of the Year category will be awarded on the 47th Annual ACM Awards broadcast live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on April 1 at 8 p.m. live ET/delayed PT on CBS.

Libation Bearers
by Aeschylus
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
Netting is an important image in Agamemnon, the first play in Aeschylus's Oresteia trilogy, where it symbolizes the constricting power of fate. Netting is also used to trap Agamemnon when he is in his bath, just before he is stabbed to death. This same net appears at the end of Libation Bearers, when Orestes commands the house servants to hold it up as evidence of the earlier crime. This time around, it also serves as an image of entrapment. Orestes is trapped by fate in much the same way that his mother and father were before him.

Have you ever caught yourself wondering, "What would it look like if I combined a conventional mohawk with a bunch of elaborate, asymmetrical, intergalactic hieroglyphics?"
Of course you have. And so has Mario Balotelli - the difference is, he did something about it.
And the Milan striker has shared pictures on his Twitter account of the artistic new haircut which he was proud to show off to the world.
Now, we know that Balotelli likes to experiment and is certainly not a fan of restraining himself when it comes to getting his hair cut. History has told us this.
From a tribal patterned mohawk to a bleached blond version to a number 17 surrounded by different coloured diamonds edition – there really is no limit to his creativity in the barber's shop.
Balotelli is no shrinking violet, and he likes to show everyone how mohawks and fancy patterns can transform a man's image from 'crazy eccentric' to 'very crazy eccentric' and back again.
The Italian's wonderful effort has already been celebrated through social platforms, but now is your chance to share your thoughts and feedback.
Has Balotelli outdone himself again or has he let the side down with his latest nonsensical but fantastical masterpiece? Post your thoughts below…

canting foot beds? seems like a deal breaker...
To me when it comes to bindings there are only to main factors..
1) matching the binding with riding style. stiff/soft.
2) Comfort, something that will allow you to ride all day w/o and pressure points etc..
That being said, as far as i can tell, canting is the most important feature on the binding. also comfy straps..
Sooo whats everybody's thoughts on canting and who makes the most comfy straps!
the most important features are straps that dont pinch and ratchets that dont suck
I find myself riding my Ride NRc's over my Union Force because the foot bed is stupid comfy, the toe cap is sweet, and the ankle strap is just fine. The ratchets treat me just fine also.... I have the newer style ratchets and I've got no complaints.
So I wouldn't leave out the comfort of a footbed...

I have bad knees, so i will be getting rome 390 bosses :)
OK good stuff.. so now that we all agree on the straps/foot beds. whats the best???
best straps are....
seems like 390s have the best foot-bed options, what about there straps??
also can canting cause your feet to roll to the inside in an "undesirable way"
I have found that canted bindings prevent my feet from sliding laterally too much, which used to cause pain under my 5th metatarsal head (ball of foot behind pinky toe). I think canted bindings were a godsend.
are there aftermarket canting options? like a plate or something..
Never tried canted footbeds. My binding has adjustable cant and lift built in. Definitely a difference.

SCOTT CITY -- After surrendering 486 rushing yards in last week's loss to Sikeston, the Dexter Bearcats entered Friday's game against the Scott City Rams once again tasked with shutting down a high-powered running attack.
In last week's 28-0 win over East Prairie, the Rams were able to pound out 322 yards on the ground, including 218 from star back Travis Phillips.
Against the Bearcats, however, Scott City was only able to muster a combined 34 rushing yards on the night as Dexter rolled to a 54-6 win.
"The defense shut the running game down," Dexter coach Aaron Pixley said. "That was big for us. You have a team here that has rushed for a lot of yards coming in and we've been giving up a lot of rush yards lately. Our defense played excellent."
