A Canadian singer who has a powerful singing voice and has written some pretty amazing songs. Her most well-known hit is 'Ironic' and the album people remember her by is 'Jagged Little Pill'. Shame really. I have 'The Collection' and there are some fantastic songs on that.
It's a shame people only remember Alanis Morissette for 'Ironic'

reached the pinacle of success in her late teens in canada as a cheerful pop singer. Then Uncle Joey from Full House dumped her and she became all femanistic and reached global success in the mid 90's with her songs about angst.
Her pre-breakup songs were very bubblegum pop. Then she came out with songs like "You oughta know" and "Ironic."

PITTSBURGH - We heard loud and clear from Ray Shero last week.
Dan Bylsma is staying, so are his assistant coaches, and so is Marc-Andre Fleury.
That's a pretty emphatic response to some of the major questions that surrounded the Pittsburgh Penguins after Boston swept them in the Stanley Cup conference final.
Ownership, everyone presumes, is on board with Shero's decisions. But who knows for certain?
The Penguins' ownership group is headed by Ron Burkle and Mario Lemieux, both of whom were seen at the playoffs.
It's unknown what role Burkle has in decisions regarding the Penguins. Burkle, 60, has a fortune of $3.1 billion and made his wealth in the supermarket business. He is involved in a number of food-related industries and is politically active. He probably doesn't closely track Robert Bortuzzo's ice time.
Lemieux, on the other hand, is a hockey lifer who still attends many games, is seen at practices and is obviously current on what's happening in the NHL. However, he rarely speaks publicly.
This is one time when he should. People pay a lot for Penguins tickets, and sellouts have become automatic. TV ratings and merchandise sales are robust. There's a lot of emotion invested in the Penguins.
Owners don't have to be headline-seeking maniacs like George Steinbrenner. But there is a tacit obligation to occasionally address the concerns of the customers.
That's especially true when the team comes up short and there are questions about the direction of the franchise.
Owners of the Steelers and Pirates occasionally speak in public. There's no reason why Lemieux shouldn't.
The biggest zero
When you dissect the Penguins' failure against Boston, start with this: Sidney Crosby played 113 shifts totaling 105 minutes and 28 seconds, and didn't produce a point.
Missing the story
Put this on the long list of why Root Sports coverage can make you crazy: They're so focused on staging a television production that they forget to cover the game.
Last week Gerrit Cole made his major league debut with the Pirates. It was impossible to overdo Cole, the former No. 1 draft pick whose arrival had been long anticipated. He pitched a great game, working into the seventh inning.
Clint Hurdle came to get him, and his teammates converged on the mound. At that moment, Root decided it had to show a long-range crowd shot of the ovation he received. Couldn't the audio deliver that? Instead of cutting to a generic shot of fans, how about showing Cole's interactions with his teammates and Hurdle?

From the first moment I discovered Allvoices.com, I knew I had found a veritable writers' paradise. I thoroughly researched the site, including reading hundreds of articles written by AV contributors. I communicated directly with some of them in an attempt to feel them out as to the "legitimacy" of the place.
I have been writing and publishing since at least 1967, beginning at Indiana University, Indiana State University, and University of Wisconsin. As with most writers, I began with poetry, and still write a decent poem – if I do say so myself.
As any freelancer will tell you, the problem with freelancing is not so much the writing, but the getting paid part. Very few organizations have deigned to pay me for my efforts over the years. Most claim poverty. Indeed, Chicago's only black daily newspaper used to not just publish my commentary weekly, but actually featured and advertised my work. They never paid me a dime (even though I implored them on several occasions to do so). Finally, I just quit sending them material.
The advent of the Internet has been a "godsend" for guys (and ladies) like me. The advent of Allvoices.com has allowed us to express ourselves openly, honestly, forcefully – and get paid according to how many folks take the time to read our scribblings. With AV, I tried hard but could find no gimmicks. No tricks. No bait-and-switch surprises or tactics. Hey, if you write it, "they" will read it...and you are paid in precise proportion to the size of your readership. What a concept! How refreshing!
As to the American Pundit Contest, when first I read about it, I determined then and there that I would win, or write my fingers to the bone trying. As you know, I got second place out of thousands of entries. That makes me feel good. Proud. Makes me feel that my work has not been in vain.
Thanks to all.

About one in every three Time Warner Cable subscribers locally will see their television fees go up March 1.
The average rate increase will be about 2.6 percent, but a majority of Western New York customers won't be affected, since about two-thirds of them are billed for TV service as part of promotional packages, according to Joli Plucknette-Farmen, Time Warner Cable's Western New York communications manager. Rates for telephone and Internet service will be unchanged.
"The new prices reflect dramatically higher costs charged by programmers – especially for local broadcast channels and sports programming," she added. "In recent years, the cost of cable programming has grown at double the pace of the price of our TV services."
DirecTV and the Dish Network also have increased their rates for TV service since the beginning of the year.

Module 5: Clinical Outcomes by Disease Site - The Use of Proton Therapy in the Treatment of Cancers of the Lung
Lung-cancer is the most common malignancy seen in men and women in the United States. Lung cancer is responsible for more cancer deaths in the United States than any other cancer and an estimated 161,840 people will die of lung cancer in 2008. This is higher than the mortality associated with prostate, breast, rectal and pancreatic cancer combined. This number averages to one patient dying every three minutes of lung cancer. The 5 year overall survival for patients with lung cancer is estimated to be 15%. A significant percentage of lung cancer patients are treated with radiation therapy at some point during the course of their disease. Currently, the local control is less than 50% using current radiation techniques and changes are needed to improve on this number. Since many of these patients have poor lung function due to years of smoking tobacco, preservation of functioning lung tissue is paramount. The destruction of lung tissue by conventional radiation techniques limits the delivery of potentially curative doses of radiation therapy.
Proton therapy may improve the therapeutic ratio in lung cancer, which may allow dose escalation. The spread out Bragg peak seen with protons may allow dose escalation while sparing normal tissues due to decreased exit dose compared with photons. Proton therapy can be delivered in two ways, either with a passive scatter technique or a spot scanning beam, which allows the use of Intensity Modulated Proton Therapy (IMPT). However, organ motion presents a major problem in the treatment of lung cancer with proton therapy. There are data that demonstrate improvements in normal tissue sparing when IMRT and 3D conformal radiation therapy plans are compared. Prior studies have found a 10-20% improvement in V5 and V10 dose in both stage I and stage III lung cancers when they were planned with Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) versus 3D conformal radiation therapy. Studies have also shown that when passive scatter proton plans were compared with IMRT plans there was even greater normal tissue sparing even when a higher total tumor dose was used. IMRT plans have also been compared with IMPT plans in patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer. Results demonstrated a 13-22% improvement in V5 and V10 dose with the IMPT plans compared with the IMRT plans. IMPT plans have also been compared with passive scatter proton plans and results demonstrated a 5-10% improvement in V5 and V10 dose with IMPT versus passive scatter. There are also concerns regarding changes in the patient's anatomy during treatment due to weight loss as well as changes to the tumor during proton therapy. Changes in the size and density of the tumor can cause a greater dose to be delivered to normal tissues distal to the tumor. A recent study performed at M.D. Anderson suggests that if a CTV based on a 4D CT to account for organ motion is used at the start of treatment, for the majority of patients, the initial CTV will be adequate (Hui Z. et al., Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys. 2008 Dec 1;72(5):1385-95.). However, in a select number of patients replanning will be needed and studies examining anatomical changes and proton therapy are ongoing.
Early results using proton therapy or a combination of proton therapy with photon based therapy have been promising. A study from Loma Linda examined outcomes in patients with clinical stage I to IIIA non-small cell lung cancer treated to a total dose of 73.8 CGE (Bush DA et al., Chest 116 (1999), pp. 1313–1319.). Rates of toxicity and outcomes (local disease control of 87% at 2 years) appeared to compare favorably with photon based therapy. A study from Japan examined proton therapy in patients with stage I-IV and recurrent disease (Y. Shioyama et al., Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 56 (2003), pp. 7–13.). Median fraction size was 3.0 Gy and median dose was 76 Gy. The five year overall survival rate was 29% for all patients. Patients with Stage IA and IB disease had 5 year overall survivals of 70% and 16%, respectively. Toxicity was limited, and these results suggested that hypofractionated proton therapy was safe and appeared to be effective in patients with very early stage lung cancer.
Loma Linda has also run a Phase II study examining the use of proton therapy in stage I non-small cell lung cancer (D.A. Bush et al., Chest 126 (2004), pp. 1198–1203.). Patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer who were medically inoperable or who refused surgery were included in this study. Patients were treated with doses from 51-60 CGE in 10 fractions. Three year local control and disease free survival rates were 74% and 72%, respectively. There was minimal toxicity in this study and it suggested that hypofractionated proton therapy was safe and effective in stage I lung cancer.
Based on past studies, with XRT alone, survival in non-small cell lung cancer is about 10 months, sequential chemoradiation results in a median survival of 13 months and concurrent chemoradiation therapy is 17 months. Some studies have shown that dose escalation to 74 Gy with concurrent chemotherapy can result in median survivals of up to 24 months. M.D. Anderson has run a study investigating whether proton therapy could reduce toxicity when used concurrently with chemotherapy compared with either 3D conformal radiation or IMRT, despite going to higher doses. In this study, protons were delivered using a synchrotron delivering protons of between 160-225 MeV. Tumor motion was accounted for using an ITV derived from 4D CT simulation. Patients were treated with 2 CGE fractions with a concurrent platinum-based doublet. All patients had inoperable lung cancer. Patients were enrolled from May 2006 to June of 2008 and were compared to historical controls treated with 3D conformal radiation and IMRT. Patients in each group made up approximately one third of the study population. Patients treated with 3D conformal or IMRT received a median dose of 63 Gy where as patients treated with protons received a median dose of 74 CGE. Grade 3 esophagitis (requiring placement of a PEG tube) was seen in 16%, 40%, and 6% of patients treated with 3D conformal, IMRT, and protons, respectively. Grade 3 pneumonitis (some of which was lethal) was seen in 32%, 9% and 0% of patients treated with 3D conformal, IMRT, and protons, respectively. Results from this study suggest that it is possible to go to higher doses with proton therapy with concurrent chemotherapy without increasing esophageal or pulmonary toxicities. This has spawned a randomized trial of protons versus photons in the treatment of stage II/III non-small cell lung cancer. Patients are to be randomized to either 74 Gy of IMRT or 74 CGE of protons both delivered in 2 Gy/CGE fractions. However, if the dose constraints can not be met, the patient on study will not be treated. Randomization is to be adapted using a Bayesian analysis, where based on prior results the randomization will change to favor the better arm. The primary outcome will be local control and grade three or greater pneumonitis and esophagitis. The study is to be run jointly by MD Anderson and Harvard.

MACON, Ga. - Freshman Mara Keomanivane was named to the Atlantic Sun Conference's postseason All-Freshmen Team on Friday afternoon, as announced by the league office.
Keomanivane is the latest in a long line of honored first year performers for the Stetson women's soccer program. This marks the seventh straight season that the Hatters have placed a student-athlete on the All-Freshmen Team, and the ninth all-time since the award began in 2001.
"I knew Mara was going to be an impactful player for us," Head Coach Julie Orlowski said. "She is a soccer junkie with a very high work rate. Injuries created an opportunity for her early on and she took full advantage.
"I think the toughest thing for a freshman to do is to give a consistent performance every game, and Mara did that," Orlowski continued. "Being a unanimous selection is a tremendous accomplishment."
Keomanivane was one of five unanimous selections on the 11-member team of rookies. Four of the freshmen were from Florida Gulf Coast, two on ETSU and Jacksonville, and one each for Mercer and Kennesaw State.
A playmaker, Keomanivane was tied for the team lead with three goals in 2012. Playing in all 17 contests, and starting 16 of them, the midfielder scored her first career goal as the first in a 5-2 victory over Florida Atlantic. Keomanivane went on to score in a 2-0 road victory at USC Upstate and a tough 2-1 loss at UNF.

According to a U.S. Census Bureau report released Monday, eight out of 10 Americans are now urbanites. Or, as my daddy used to say, Country come to town.
I used to be an urbanite. But before that, I grew up in the sticksmiles from the nearest convenience store, let alone grocery. The storewhich I now suspect was a speakeasy after dark--had warped shelves stocked with stale bread and expired mustard. The only thing I ever bought there was cigarettes for my father, back when a 12-year-old could walk into a store and buy cigarettes.
Anyway, the article on MSNBC said the nations urban population grew by 12.1 percent from 2000 to 2010. The Charlotte, N.C. area is growing at the fastest rate; as a native Tar Heel, I believe it. Even 30 years ago, Charlotte and Raleigh were where you went to make it big.
I was still a little girl when I vowed never to live in the country again. Yes, I kept a horse in the fenced backyard and no-one cared, but the isolation creeped me out. Dad worked out of town and if Mom had one of her migraines, I might stay at home, except for school, for days on end.
Our nearest neighbors were what we now call survivalists: They were suspicious of outsiders (which meant everyone not related by blood), posted NO TRESPASSING signs on every third tree and went armed to the teeth. The wife and daughter often carried shotguns to the mailbox and back. They had a huge garden and the younger kids frequently shot squirrels for supper. I know this because the youngest one mistook me for a squirrel. Twice.
I left home at 17 to enroll at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington. I could have lived with Mom and Dad and commuted, but freedom beckoned. I got an apartment with friends and entered a new world, one where Kroger was four blocks away and Wrightsville Beach was seven miles from my front door. There were restaurants and malls, bookstores and movie theaters, hair salons and bicycle shops, marinas and museums.
I will never go back to the boondocks, I promised myself, as dramatic as Scarlett OHara declaring, As God is my witness, Ill never be hungry again!
Man plans, God laughs. Twenty-five years later I fell in love and wound up back in the country, in a village of fewer than 800 souls, because thats how life works. Of course.
There is much to enjoy about living here: Blooming Confederate jasmine, camellias and huge crepe myrtle trees dripping with lavender blooms. Friendly neighborhood dogs and American flags flown from rocking-chair porches. Curious goats and mules, good running routes (you basically blaze your own trail and hope for the best), a fantastic boarding kennel and lovingly restored Victorian homes.
Everyone knows who I am: I am Widdles wife. Nobody recognizes Julie R. Smith, but they know she lives in the historic house on Main Street with Widdle, who was born here and has never lived anywhere else.
We look out for each other in our little village. Whenever I get frustrated about our burg lacking a dentist or doctor or drugstore, I remember this: If, God forbid, I should flee my house screaming at 2 a.m., lights would flick on and people would come running.
That helps. That, and we have lots of squirrels.
Julie R. Smith, who found a recipe for sautéed squirrel, can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Sponsor: American Diabetes Association
Diabetes is one of the leading causes of disability and death in the United States. It can cause blindness, nerve damage, kidney disease, and other health problems if it's not controlled.
One in 11 Americans have diabetes — that's more than 29 million people. And another 86 million adults in the United States are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
The good news? People who are at high risk for type 2 diabetes can lower their risk by more than half if they make healthy changes. These changes include: eating healthy, increasing physical activity, and losing weight.
We can use this month to raise awareness about diabetes risk factors and encourage people to make healthy changes.
Here are just a few ideas:

Whether a nonprofit group operating Airmen Pond at Bowman Field has paid its bills due to the city is among the questions City Council expects to have answered at its finance committee meeting Tuesday afternoon.
Last month, the committee discovered there were several outstanding invoices, but that none was overdue at that time, said Councilman Jonathan Williamson, committee chairman.
The nonprofit group, Williamsport Ice Arena, that operates the ice rink, owes the city $15,000 in utility bills, but the invoice was sent to the wrong place, according to Mayor Gabriel J. Campana. "I am confident the light bill will be paid," Campana said.
A second issue, according to Williamson, is to ensure whether the nonprofit and the Outlaws hockey team fulfill their obligation to pay a $20,000 assurance bond, money that guarantees the field is restored once the ice rink is removed and the city, which owns Bowman Field, isn't on the hook to make repairs.
Three $5,000 payments had been made, Williamson said, and "a fourth payment was pending" at the last meeting. "We've asked for and expect to receive an update on all of these issues."
As of Jan. 1, the date the final payment was due, the city had not received the payment, according to Campana.
"On behalf of the taxpayers, council has tried to keep a close eye on the financial relationship between the city, the Williamsport Ice Arena, the nonprofit group operating the rink, and the Williamsport Outlaws," Williamson said. "Council wants to make sure the relationship with partners that it has contracts with are making all of their payments, so taxpayers are protected from taking on any burden should these payments not be made.
"While many of the organizations have longstanding relationships in the community, the Outlaws and the nonprofit remain in the process of gaining the community's trust," he said.
"We're addressing a bill situation," Campana said. "I will make sure bills are paid and take every measure possible any bills due to the city are fulfilled."
The committee convenes at 3:30 p.m.

Do you mean that the disk itself is not readable or is the install stopping at some point or the disk is not autorunning?
Have you tried canceling autoplay (type "Autoplay" in the Start search), browsing the CD and running setup.exe manually by right-clicking on it and selecting "Run as administrator"?
Complete install/reinstall instructions can be found here:
WinstonChurchil:This is only happening on one of my computers though.
If the disk is readable on other computers I would say that you have a dirty, mis-configured or damaged drive.
The first thing I'd do would be to clean the disk with a weak soapy solution followed by a rinse and wiping with a soft, lint-free cloth. Then I'd get a can of compressed dusting "air" and blow out the drive. If the game disk still won't read I'd uninstall then reinstall the optical drive's driver and run a diagnostic (your computer software may have come with one, otherwise you can download one for a free trial use).
As far as configuration goes, for most users reinstalling the driver should set the drive to usable defaults. However, some drives must be further configured. For most users all you want to do is to try to either toggle DMA mode on or off. If you are having a hard time reading disks try setting DMA mode off.
If you still can't read the disk, then it's a simple matter to install a new optical drive. CD/DVD RW drives are the least expensive part of the computer and you can get a quality one (LG, Sony, etc.) for around $20. Before ordering one, however, check your system to see if the drive is SATA, USB or PATA (older systems).
Here is an example of a good, inexpensive SATA drive:
WinstonChurchil:Also, I tested it on my Laptop, and it reads the disk, but wont even start up. If you know a solution to this, thank you.
Previously, you implied that you could read the disk and install it on your laptop but not on your desktop so I inferred that the disk was OK. However, if you can't install it on either your desktop or laptop and have cleaned it without success then it probably is bad. Microsoft will replace defective media.
I know I said it worked on my laptop, but when I tried playing it on there today, it wouldnt open, then i uninstalled, and it wouldnt read. Thanks for your help.

As the aerial cable-car of San Carlo slowly ascends to Robiei, one is surprised by the massive Basodino glacier that one suddenly sees. This high alpine hike begins at the artificial lake of Robiei, at an altitude of 1891 m.a.s.l. The hike follows the lakes Lago Bianco and Lago Sfundau all the way to the Cristallina Pass, 2568 m.a.s.l. Initially, there is still some very sparse vegetation but soon the area becomes more and more barren, with only rocks and pebbles littering the ground. In the background one constantly sees Mt Cristallina, the massive back of Mt. Basodino and to the North the Gotthard chain. Descend via the Val Torta to Capanna Cristallina, an ideal resting spot before one attempts the last piece of the tour. Passing through the Alpe Cristallina one winds up in Ossasco in the Val Bedretto. The entire trip from Robiei to Ossasco takes about 5 hours, and the trails are well-marked. But be sure to take along rain gear, squalls sometimes arise out of nowhere bringing clouds and fog with them. It is also advisable to carefully listen to the weather advisory prior to leaving on this tour.
How to get there:
Drive or take public transportation from Locarno to San Carlo in the Val Bavona via Maggia/Bignasco. In San Carlo take the aerial cable-car to Robiei
The careful planning of a tour will ensure that you also derive the maximum pleasure and enjoyment from it. Please take the time to contact the local information centre and enquire about route and weather conditions before setting off. Your intended trail may be fully or partially closed, depending on the time of year and weather conditions.

It's good to be humble in my openion. Is life reality or is it a mirror image of what you want it to be?
Why categorize yourself??? You are you, so istead of making styles or putting yourself into categories, just be yourself. I think it's kinda stupid to put yourself into things such as that. Is life reality or is it a mirror image of what you want it to be?

I worked this weekend.
Yep. Work.
Okay well ACTUALLY Saturday morning was the holiday meeting at Best Buy. Basically nearly 200 employees showed up at 7AM for all kinds of fun. I mean hey, I can't complain, they got us donuts and juice. So it was basically a quick review holiday stuff and then a lot of screaming at the end. Which was good because the screaming woke me up. But I'm going to tell you all something. I'm scared I might get killed next weekend. Black Friday at Best Buy sounds TERRIFYING! So if I'm not around after next weekend… well, you know what happened.
I worked at Maurices in the afternoon. I was actually in a pretty great mood and they day went by fast. I won't say anything about what's going on but I'm hoping I can just keep doing what I'm doing so that I don't have to worry. Fingers crossed.
Dustin and I rented Grown Ups from Redbox Saturday night. It was actually pretty funny! Kind of a cute movie for anyone to see and we both enjoyed it! Plus any movie that has Escape (The Pina Colada Song) in it is a good movie in my book!
I also worked Sunday at Maurices. I woke up around 8 and right after getting out of the shower I had a missed called from Amy. Basically our newest manager, Jen, called Amy and Shannon to say she couldn't work because it was raining and supposedly the roads were freezing. Which is total crap because I drive just as far as Jen does and I wasn't calling in. So Amy ended up having to work which made me happy because I love working with Amy. Despite the computers being down for about an hour we had a really great day.
After work I raced home (or tried to, the roads were still a smidge slippery) because Dustin and I had a date to see HP7 Part 1 (and if you don't know what I'm talking about that makes me really, really upset). I'm pretty much totally happy about the movie except I'm still mad at J.K. Rowling for just randomly killing people. I seriously can't believe there's just one movie left and then… that's it. I really don't remember a time when there wasn't something Harry Potter related to look forward to so it's going to be odd when it's all over. Most likely I will cry. Oh, and if you haven't seen the movie yet and you're planning to I suggest you bring some tissues with.
THIS WEEK is going to be absolute insanity. I have to get all my homework done today and before work at Maurices tomorrow. I need to call Best Buy to find out if they plan to give me anymore training or if I'm just supposed to stand around and look pretty Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I also need to clean the apartment AND finish NaNo. Lord. This should be interesting…

I know these questions will have already been asked, but for me it is easier to make a new topic and ask them all in one go. So I hope that is ok with everyone
I received my FL today and got the Wonder Wave texture. I have taken out the white plastic piece and placed the sleeve into the case. Before I use the FL I would like to ask is there anything I should do first?
I am going to buy some Corn Flour, do I dab this on after every use?
Cleaning the sleeve with cold water and leaving to dry is sufficient enough, or is anything else required?
So basically, the sleeve is in the case, can I get stuck in straight away ?
Btw, my name is Danny. Pleased to meet you all!

Joint replacements. Something you may think of as a procedure intended only for your great grandmother, right? Well, it may surprise you to know that more than 1 million Americans have a hip or knee replaced each year. Research has shown that even if you are older, joint replacement can help you move around and feel better. And what's more surprising is that these surgeries also include young adults and even teens. There are many illnesses and impairments that can prompt a joint replacement. Whether it's hip or knee, the symptoms are often ignored because they may seem like a nuisance or something that isn't as serious as needing a new joint. Stiffness? Weakness? Pain when moving? It's not normal. A joint replacement surgery can improve mobility up to 90 percent. Imagine what this means for a mom of three who has battled arthritis or an athlete who has spent years sliding into home or taking that last sack in the end zone. The symptoms that indicate a joint replacement are not to be blown off as symptoms of "aging." An aching knee, weakness in the hip or stiff joints that don't seem to work like they used to are not unique to mature populations. Many people suffer with joint issues and age isn't always the reason. One thing I hear often in my practice is that people are afraid of the phrase "joint replacement." They are worried that it won't work because they have heard of someone else who had one years ago and had complications. People are fearful that they'll have the surgery and their quality of life won't improve. Another comment I receive is that the recovery time is too long and it will impact their life more than the pain their injured joint is causing. What people need to know is that this isn't your great grandmother's knee or hip replacement. Medicine has advanced since those days and the amount of time for recovery has also decreased. So how do you know if a joint replacement is the right option for you? First, take a quick inventory of your symptoms and coping mechanisms. Are you in pain when you move? If you're on medication for your issue, is it no longer working? Is there swelling? Do you avoid certain activities because of your immobility? Next, see an orthopedic surgeon. He or she will be able to assess if surgery or therapy is necessary. Not everyone who has aches and pains requires a joint replacement, but seeing an orthopedist should be the starting point. If you've been using medications or assistants such as crutches or walkers to get around and they aren't helping talk with a specialist. Get an X-ray. These screens can show joint damage caused by osteoporosis, arthritis and other injuries. This will help your doctors determine if a joint replacement is needed. I've completed more than 5,000 joint replacement surgeries. Over the years I've met many who were reluctant to have the procedure done. I understand that the fear of the unknown is a common reaction to this process. My response is this: imagine walking without pain, ditching your crutches or walker or being able to kneel down next to your pets without wincing. It's possible. The bottom line is you don't have to be limited due to a joint issue. Go see a doctor, ask questions and improve your quality of life.

The University at Buffalo's run to the Mid-American Conference baseball semifinals last season had little impact on how they were perceived throughout the rest of the league. When the preseason poll was released, the Bulls were picked to finish last in the East Division. What took place in 2012 was dismissed as a lightning strike.
There were legit reasons to anticipate a UB slide. For one, last season marked the first time in program history the Bulls managed to qualify for the eight-team conference tournament. What's more, their best player, Tom Murphy, went in the Major League Draft and is now tearing it up in the Colorado Rockies chain. It's understandable why some may have questioned UB's ability to sustain.
But the Bulls have done more than sustain. They've gone where no UB team has gone before while running their conference record to 14-4 with Friday afternoon's 6-1 victory over Ohio University at the Northtown Center. No UB team – not even last year's surprising bunch – ever won more than 11 MAC games. And consider that eight conference games still remain on the schedule.
"It's a surprise but it's definitely a pleasant surprise," senior center fielder Jason Kanzler said. "And now that we're winning there's definitely a great team expectation to win. It makes it a lot easier to win when you expect to win. You just come to the field and take care of business instead of last year when it was backs against the wall and having to battle for our wins. This is a lot different. We're in control of our own destiny now whereas last year we were relying on teams to lose and whatnot."
UB qualified for the MAC Tournament on the final day of last year's regular season. This time around they're eyeing the No. 1 overall seed and even daring to dream of a title.
"That would be an amazing feeling," said shortstop and Sunday's starting pitcher Mike Burke. "I really hope that it happens. I believe we can do it. That's our focus right now. I want that MAC championship so bad. I want that ring on my finger and I know everyone else does too. We're fighting."
Contending in the MAC is a colossal challenge for the Bulls. Coach Ron Torgalski has 7.5 scholarships to dole out. He said he thinks every other team in the conference has 11.7. That means the Bulls are usually leaner than the competition when it comes to depth. Whereas perennial power Kent State might run a parade of pitchers to the mound based on matchups, Torgalski often has had to sit tight.
"It's harder for us," Torgalski said. "And that's always been our problem is depth issues. You look at a team like Kent and they got 10-12 pitchers that are 89 and 93-94 [mph] and we don't have that. There's been some conference weekends where we'll use five pitchers while other teams are going right-left-right, matchup the last two, three innings. Same with defensive replacements, pinch hitting.
"But I think we're getting there. We're not forced to play the young guys like we have in the past, which is a good thing because it tells me the program is developing. It's getting deeper. It's getting better."
Pitching has been key to UB befuddling the prognosticators. Sophomore Mike McGee didn't have command of his fastball Friday but persevered through 5∑ innings, allowing just an unearned run. Freshman Ben Hartz, typically the set-up man, went the rest of the way and allowed just two hits to continue his exemplary work out of the bullpen. Hartz's solid outing enabled Torgalski to rest closer River McWilliams, who already has set the school single-season record with 10 saves.
"Going in, when people asked me expectations, I said we're going to swing it and it all depends how these youngsters throw on the mound," McWilliams said. "I was predicting somewhere between sixth and 10th in the MAC, to compete for another tournament bid, and once you get there anything can happen. In my mind the youngsters have exceeded expectations on the mound and thrown really well for us."
"Our pitching staff has thrown well this year," Torgalski said. "Our ERA (3.7) is as low as it's ever been. Our weekend rotation has been going deep into games every weekend. Mike McGee and Anthony Magovney, two sophomores, are Friday-Saturday guys."
The bats weren't out in full force Friday. Ohio starter Jake Miller kept the Bulls off balance with a nice mix that included a sharp breaking ball. But UB hung in, awaiting its opportunity, and broke the game open when it got to the Ohio bullpen. Senior Tom Richards produced a key two-run double while Mike Scarcello (Timon-St. Jude) went 2 for 3 with an RBI and saved a run on defense.
"We don't have the highest batting average in the conference, but when we need a hit in a certain situation we've been getting a hit," Torgalski said. "When we need to get an out, our defense will make a play and get an out. When we need a strikeout to shut teams down we've been doing it. And we've been doing it every weekend."
The sense of belief set in after the conference opener against Central Michigan. Down, 4-0, into the ninth inning, the Bulls rallied to win, 5-4. This season began to feel like last season, when UB finished strong.
"That was a huge win for us," Burke said. "My three years here, that was the first comeback win that I could remember that stands out in conference play. That was huge. That showed that we have a lot of heart. We also had that comeback game against Akron where we were down 5-1. We had a lot of confidence even though we were behind."
Validation that the Bulls were for real came with a three-game sweep of Kent State. The Bulls hadn't beaten the Golden Flashes even once since 2008. And Kent State hadn't been swept in a conference series since 2008.
"With Kent, I think we were down every game at some point but we didn't panic," Kanzler said. "Whereas every other year I've been here if you go down to Kent State it's just flattening. It just destroys you. There's definitely a marked change in how we approach our game."
The Bulls (24-17 overall) hold a 1½-game lead over Kent State in the MAC East and went into Friday a half-game ahead of Northern Illinois in the race for the top overall record.
It's a dramatic turnaround for a program that Kanzler said was forever lightly regarded throughout the conference, "We were kind of the joke – I don't know if we were the joke but that's what it felt like a little bit."
The Bulls finish up their final conference homestand with 1 p.m. games today and Sunday. Their final two MAC series will take them to Miami and Bowling Green, the third-and fourth-place teams in the East.

Four offices and programs from the Town of Hamburg will be consolidated in Frontier Central School District's Learning Center on Southwestern Boulevard early next year.
The search for more space for Hamburg's Adult Day Care Center led to the decision to consolidate the senior center and the day care center, as well as administrative offices for youth, recreation and senior services, into the 11-year-old building.
"It's a great opportunity for the town and the school district," Supervisor Steven Walters said. "There is a building that is taxpayer-funded that is going to continue to operate for the public good."
Town officials said in February they were looking for more room for the day care center, which is open weekdays for those who need supervision and are unable to attend traditional senior center programs.
Walters said that when Frontier learned Erie 1 BOCES would be leaving its facility at 4540 Southwestern Blvd., it contacted the town.
Hamburg will lease the building for the cost of the bond payment, which is between $50,000 and $55,000 each year, Walters said. The town signed a 10-year lease, with an option to renew it for nine years, he said. The district has 19 years left to pay the bonds.
The day care center will move from its location at 353 Pleasant Ave., where it opened in a former train depot in 1996. The town also will move the senior center, now in a building at 4150 Sowles Road, to the school. The town rents the senior center from Iris Housing for $1 a year. The center has a therapeutic pool, which was paid for with federal Community Development Block Grant funds. Walters said that there had been restrictions put on the funds but that the restrictions have expired and the town is free to move its program.
The town also will move the recreation offices from the former Nike Base on Lakeview Road and the Youth Department from Woodlawn Beach State Park to the Southwestern Boulevard site.
The 40,600-square-foot learning center was built with geothermal heating and cooling systems in 2002. Erie 1 Board of Cooperative Education Services was a major tenant, and the district's Community Education program operated out of the center. The district also leased space to the Southtown Teachers Association and the town Youth Department.
BOCES announced it would leave the facility at the end of June, which would have left the building nearly empty.
"The district understood we could not allow this wonderful facility to go dark," Superintendent James Bodziak said.
The town will need to renovate parts of the building, and it expects the senior center to open around Jan. 1, Walters said. The town's lease will start July 1, and the town will be responsible for the operating costs of the building. He said the move and operations will be performed in a cost-efficient manner, although there may be some increased costs involved.
"The biggest push for the town wasn't to try and save money in the Senior Services Department," Walters said. "It was to expand the Senior Services Department. We had two facilities that were getting too small."
