Id like to try and help you as you sound uncomfortable, but I need some more information please. Do you have pain after you eat or before you eat? Is the pain made worse or is it better after a meal? And how long after you eat does it take for the pain to come back? Where does it hurt you?
Is this pain with all foods or just certain ones? If its only with some foods, which foods?
Thanks for clarifying,

well take yesterday i ate freind chicken tenders and had noissues. the day before i had krystals(dont know if you know what that is but its little tiny burgers like white castle) and fried french fries. didnt do much. today i had a regular home cooked hamburger thirty minutes after i took my prilosec and i got stomach pain and my breathing acted up a little bit. the prilosec has been not working after it worked for a year. but im still trying it . but thats all i ate was a small home cooked hamburger. there is no localized pain its usually a soreness that makes me belch or feel like i got to use the restroom

Thanks so much for that additional information...I have a few more questions for you. Thank you for your patience here, the more information I have, the better my resultant guess will be. When you do use the restroom, do you feel better after gone to the bathroom? Are your stools normal now? Ive read some of your past questions and so know you have some issues with constipation and diarrhea on occasion.
Thanks for clarifying,

Yeah the issue of constipation came when i switched from prilosec to prevaci a day after my prilosec stopped working. not to mention i dont know if this was an 9issue but i had ate a ton of cheese within a coule days. but after having stomach cramps that was releieved when using the restroom i having had cramps and i have been going to the bathroomonce a day about 30 mins to an hour after i wake up and it is normal. i notice a few pieces f what looks like undigested foods but i dont know if they was ther before because i never looked at it so close . lol now i monitor my stool crazily. and no i dont feel better after i use the restroom now. and it was ok until as i said i ate and a while later it made my stmach sore and i had burpin up of food . and the breathing thing got heavier as i said. I just ate some potatoes baked in the oven and my stomach seems to be easing up on the sorteness aswell

Thanks for the additional detail. Please understand that online no one can state with certainty what anything is, all I can do is give my best guess based upon what you wrote. '
You've had heartburn and GERD thats been treated, not very well I may add from what you write, for over a year. I think it may be time to examine other possible causes of your pain. And while it could be severe GERD you have, the fact that you have pain AGAIN after you eat makes me wonder if you may have an ulcer. Severe GERD that is not treated can result in ulcers and do damage to the esophagus that can make it more prone to developing cancers.
An ulcer is when the lining of the stomach or the first part of the small intestine is eaten away by stomach acid. Usually, the stomach produces a special layer of mucous to prevent the stomach acid from irritating it. If that lining is thin or damaged in places, then the stomach acid will corrode the stomach, wherever the "breach" occurs. People with ulcers have pain which usually is relieved by food, but then occurs again after eating, and it is worse when you are hungry as the stomach is empty (that is because the food helps neutralize the acid).
The most common reason for people to get this is a bacteria called H. pylori.
Other reasons for ulcers can include medications such as motrin/advil, and alcohol and cigarettes. Untreated and as they get worse, ulcers can bleed, and the blood loss can be severe. And if there is a big hole in the stomach, stomach contents can be released into the body, and that peritonitis (infection of the body cavity) can be very bad. Blood in the stools can appear as black and tarry stools. Ulcers are not typically associated with diarrhea.
Treatment of ulcers is with antibiotics if it is caused by H pylori; if it is not caused by H pylori treatment is prescription medication.
My advice here is to be seen by your provider to be tested for H pylori, to establish if your ulcer was caused by that bacteria.
I hope I was able to help. Here is a website regarding ulcers.
We know you have GERD/ heartburn. I'm writing about that as well. Normally, there is a sphincter muscle at the top of the stomach to keep the contents of the stomach in the stomach. If this muscle is weakened for any reason, acid from the stomach can regurgitate into the esophagus, and that can indeed cause pain depending on how high the fluid rises. Simple heartburn is easily treated, un treated heartburn can result in GERD (gastro esophageal reflux disease).
Certain foods can make GERD/ heartburn worse (I am sure you have found this out by now), so if you notice more discomfort after eating acidic foods, or caffeine, or alcohol, cut down on the intake of those food items. I noted that it worsened after a hamburger you ate. Also, remaining upright after a meal will help also, as will eating small meals throughout the day as opposed to two or three large ones. Stress has also been implicated as a factor in making GERD and heartburn worse, certainly you have been under stress worrying about your bowel movements.
GERD doesn't go away, but it can be made less with some lifestyle changes such as avoiding caffeine, alcohol, peppermint, and fatty foods. Smaller meals will also help reduce the severity of GERD as it wont fill up your stomach as much. Also, avoid lying down after you eat, remaining upright will help keep the stomach contents in the stomach.
In truly horrid cases of GERD, surgery can be done to reduce the amount of acid that is produced by the stomach.
Here are two helpful websites on GERD: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/gerd/DS00967/DSECTION=1
and : http://www.medicinenet.com/gastroesophageal_reflux_disease_gerd/article.htm
I suggest you see your provider for an evaluation, especially regarding the possibility of an H pylori ulcer.
I hope I was able to help,

see my only issue is. why wouldnt it effect me at all if it was an ulcer after eating almost 9 big fried chicken tenders and fried french fries and a bunch of mini burgers. thats why i got confused about the ulcer thing. also i have just started taking amoxicillian this afternoon for a tooth infection
Nurse Susan
replied 4 years ago.
I am puzzled about that one also, honestly. But this is not a diagnosis, its just a education only service. Ulcers should make their presence known after a meal...maybe there was something about the chicken or something else that you ate that made it not so painful.
But you have had pain for too long to be satisfied with the diagnosis of just heartburn. Its gone on too long. I think it would be a good idea to see a specialist, a GI doctor for testing to see what the problem really is and the best way to treat it.
No one should have pain as long as you have had it.
Hope that helps,

replied 4 years ago.
but can acid reflux make ur stomach sore or make you nauseus? i dont have heartburn hardly ever. its only a sore stomach and its only once in a while after eating. i was completely fine until my prilosec stopped working which is what made me think it was gerd . the reason i keep asking is because i cant really afford a doctor now after going to the dentist. i mean its super exepnsive
Nurse Susan
replied 4 years ago.
Acid reflux can make a wide array of symptoms, as it is literally the acid going up the esophagus. And those symptoms depend on how high that acid travels. Some will report it as a stomach ache, or indigestion...others have literally felt in so much pain around their chest area that they have believed they were having a heart attack.
So there is not one answer for your question...acid reflux can present in too many ways. But I still absolutely believe you should be seen by a specialist as you've had this too long. And, as I wrote, acid reflux untreated can lead to ulcers, and can lead to changes in the esophagus that make one more prone to certain cancers.
Please be seen...but ulcer is still my top guess. If you had written that you felt better after a bowel movement, I would believe that it could be Irritable Bowel Syndrome, but as you didn't, I do not believe that is a big contender.
I understand about the expense, but it is important. If you lack the funds and or do not have a provider there are low cost clinics: here is a web page to help find them. http://www.needymeds.org/free_clinics.taf and http://findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov/Search_HCC.aspx and http://www.pparx.org/en/prescription_assistance_programs/free_clinic_finder

The Senate is on the verge of passing a massive mortgage rescue plan, but it may see a veto from the president.
"Unless we act and do so promptly, we're going to look at a situation that only gets worse," Sen. Christopher Dodd said. Dodd helped form the bill and is confident it will get rid of "a growing fear in the country" over housing.
The plan, which cleared the Senate Thursday, would allow homeowners who can't afford their mortgage payments to refinance through the government, rather than losing their homes.
Lending companies like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would also see tighter regulation when providing loans.
Still, political leaders remain divided on the plan because of its $300 billion price tag, and President Bush has threatened a veto because of it.
The Congressional Black Caucus believes the bill is crucial in helping rebuild the communities hit hardest by the housing crisis. But White House officials say the plan would unfairly help bail out those lenders who help start the crisis.
House leaders say the bill should come into effect in phases, rather than immediately like supporters are proposing. They plan to revise the legislation.

It is no secret that we now have so many different designs to choose from with regards to homecoming dresses.
Selecting long, short, and also fitted clothing is often overwhelming. If you are looking for a unique method to stand out from everyone else this year, why not consider getting a vintage homecoming dress?
Before you start your hunt for the dress, why not check with your mother, aunt, cousin, or even grandmother if they still have their homecoming or perhaps prom dresses? It is crucial for you to examine several styles from different time periods to have a sense of the fashion you want to obtain.
Do you want the halter necked cocktail dresses from the 1950s? Or maybe would you like the riotous colours and fashions from the 1980s?
The next thing while searching for a traditional homecoming dress will be to settle on to the cost. If you opt to buy a classic gown from a shop or on the web, it might not be as affordable as you might think.
Moreover, you may want to pay extra for adjustments to have the dress tailored to your measurements.
It is better to get the help of a good friend or perhaps loved one who can offer you a 2nd opinion on a outfit you are thinking about getting. If you purchase your gown at a secondhand or antique, it may be feasible for one to bargain on the price of the dress. The amount of money you would save could be used to buy a complementing purse or shoes.
If you cannot find precisely what you are looking for in a vintage store, the net can provide a plethora of web sites focusing on vintage gowns. The general downside to these types of websites is you need to buy the dress in an auction, and there is no promise that you will be able to pick the gown you would like.
Upon having purchased your vintage homecoming gown, you will want to make certain that the accessories you get to go with it, like shoes and purses, also match the period type of your dress.
Similarly, your hair and make-up should also be reminiscent of the time period that your dress is from. With the ideal classic homecoming dress, you're certain to stand out from everyone else of off the rack homecoming dresses.
Daisy Kurgen is a part time writer and also enjoy writing about dresses for homecoming and other various topics.

Ohio authorities have ordered Christian teen Rifqa Bary and her Muslim parents to sit down and discuss their religious views, a caseworker revealed Tuesday.
Bary, 17, ran away from home to Florida July 19, telling authorities that her parents had threatened to kill her for leaving Islam.
A case-management plan filed Monday stated Bary would hear her parent's explanation of their Islamic beliefs, and they would also hear her explanation of accepting Christianity.
The plan also stated there are "severe differences" between the reasons given by Bary and her parents on why she changed her faith.
"Parents concern is that Rifqa has a false perception of their religious beliefs and that her understanding creates a barrier to reunification," wrote Margaret Shirk, a Franklin County Children Services Board caseworker. "Rifqa's concern is that her parents do not understand her practice of Christianity."
Florida Judge Daniel Dawson released Bary's case to Ohio courts in October. She will remain in foster care until a final decision is made on whether she should be forced to return home.
The plan also ordered potential guardians be found in case reunification is not an option.
Authorities said the family emigrated to the U.S. from Sri Lanka in 2000 to seek medical care for Rifqa, who'd lost sight in one eye after an accident at home.

Since UCLA went on a 5-0 winning streak against some pretty bad teams, everyone has been contemplating just how good (or bad) this team is.
You now pretty much have your answer. UCLA lost to an entirely average Stanford team, 60-59, Thursday, in a game that illustrated just about every aspect – good and bad – about this team.
These are your 2011-2012 UCLA Bruins.
On one hand, as we suspected, the team isn't very good. It's going to make for some pretty frustrating games to watch in the Pac-12.
On the other hand, though, if Stanford is one of the best teams in the conference, UCLA has a chance to make a run at the Pac-12 Championship. To put it in its proper perspective: UCLA lost on the road against one of the best teams in the conference – by just a point – and was very capable of winning the game. Realistically, this probably makes UCLA one of the top four teams in the conference.
How's that for positive spin?
As an analyst, you're always looking for a game that really illustrates so many of the points you've been trying to make, and this was the poster-boy game for it.
Let's first start with the players.
Without Lazeric Jones' ability to score, UCLA wouldn't have even been in this game. He scored a career-high 26 points – and that's 26 of UCLA's total of 59 points. He was 4-of-6 from three, while the rest of the Bruins were 0-for-9. It's abundantly clear that this team struggles to score and without Jones' ability to put the ball in the basket the Bruins wouldn't come within 20 points of their opponents. He is such a better and more productive player since he's been playing more with a two-guard mentality. But, of course, Jones has his drawbacks, and it entirely stems from him getting overly confident and out of control, making bad decisions and attempting to do things he simply can't. There were stretches in this game when he would force things – drives and shots – and he was hurting as much as helping the team. And then, of course, there was the last play of the game, in which Jones went 1-on-3 with at least two teammates having wide open looks. At times, you can see Jones' confidence surge, and then you can also see it bubble over into over-confidence and hubris. He's, of course, much better than he was at the beginning of the season, and without him UCLA wouldn't have an offense. But his play leads you to ponder just how much more of a positive influence he'd be if he could limit even more the out-of-control element of his game.
Tyler Lamb struggled for most of the game, but then surprisingly was the man in crunch time, making two key floaters in the lane down the stretch to keep UCLA in it. He did, though, miss four wide-open three-point attempts, which came at times when UCLA could have really made a considerable run against the Cardinal and surge ahead, but were back-breaking misses. It's clear that Lamb has the potential to be a good player – potentially an all-conference type down the road – but it's a matter of him playing through his inexperience.
Josh Smith had a typical game for him, finishing with 10 points and 6 rebounds in 20 minutes, and fouling out with a few minutes remaining in the game. It's really simple when analyzing Smith: He's immature. He does some things on the court, like throwing inappropriate elbows or getting called for stupid fouls, that stem mostly from an inability to maintain his composure. His inability at times to score in the post also looks like immaturity, just a lack of savviness in going up around the basket. You could point to immaturity for the reason that Smith is in his physical condition. He, again, though, was really the only element of this game between UCLA and Stanford that had any elite potential. There probably isn't one other player on the floor (except for maybe a couple of green freshmen) who have NBA-level potential. It's abundantly clear every time Smith either does something productive or something unproductive that he's the key to UCLA's season. He's the only aspect of this team, truly, that will make it superior to its generally average Pac-12 opponents.
After a game like Travis Wear and David Wear had against Stanford, it's just not comfortable to even criticize. It was clear, like we've been maintaining, that the Wears are out of their league when playing against this level of talent – which, again, is an entirely average high-major team in Stanford, with very pedestrian bigs. The Wears just don't have the talent or athleticism to succeed at that level.
Which leads us to the UCLA big that does – Anthony Stover. When Stover was in the game it was when UCLA played its best, since he brings an element to UCLA's zone defense that is probably the only other aspect of the team other than Josh Smith that has elite potential. But we'll get to Stover later.
Jerime Anderson was his typical self, shooting 2 for 9 and missing some key shots during critical stretches, and making some head-scratching plays at times. But he also was a key force in UCLA's first-half run, creating turnovers and making plays on the offensive end that jumpstarted UCLA. At this point, with Anderson being a senior, it's probably too much to ask that we get the Better Anderson more often than the Head-Scratching Anderson, but when he's the Better Anderson he really is the force that makes the team function well.
Norman Powell, perhaps the only other player on this team that has elite potential, played 17 minutes and never really got in the flow, looking a bit overwhelmed in his first Pac-12 road game. He did, though, show those elite-potential signs, like during one sequence when he was the only Bruin to actually be able to stay in front of his man when playing man defense.
So, now on to the coaching.
It was a game in which you could find much wrong with it. UCLA got down 6-13 in the first 6 minutes of the game due entirely to the fact that it was playing man defense. In the last 14 minutes of the first half, when it switched to its zone, UCLA "won," 17-11. It's difficult to understand why Ben Howland would use the incredibly poor man defense and get UCLA in such a hole to begin the game. It's not as if the zone is going to be sprung on Stanford as a surprise. It's not as if UCLA really has a chance of moving between man and zone effectively, since it's pretty much proven out that the man, if played beyond a possession here or there, will make UCLA one of the worst teams in the conference. Did he use it for the first 6 minutes merely because there is some miniscule hope that Howland is clinging to that the man D might be effective? It clearly was the reason UCLA lost this game. It clearly put UCLA in a hole it just couldn't ever climb out of, having 8 chances to take the lead over the Cardinal after the zone allowed the Bruins to climb back in, but not having enough to make it over the hump. What if UCLA had played the zone from the beginning and didn't have to "get over the hump?" If man defense, perhaps, kept players fresher we could understand, but a man D tires out players quicker, and makes foul-prone bigs more vulnerable to fouls. Then, down the stretch, after the zone defense had gotten UCLA back in this game, Howland returned to the man, almost like Howland doesn't still trust the zone, even though it's clearly the #1 element of this team that has made it even remotely competitive this season. With the Bruins down 57-58 and 1:25 left in the game, a not-quick Aaron Bright took Jones, who isn't a great man defender and at this point in the game very tired (playing 38 minutes in this game) off the dribble with ease. Josh Smith had to step over to help and fouled Bright, which anyone could have predicted would happen – with it being Smith's fifth foul. This has to be one of the most inexplicable times to ever opt for the man D, when the only real talent advantage you have on the floor, your center, has four fouls.
Then, in any discussion of the coaching, you have to raise the issue of timeout management. Howland, in his inimitable style, burned through his timeouts, and didn't have one to call before UCLA's last possession of the game. You'd have to say it was a huge contributing factor to Jones making the bad decision on that last play.
Then, there is determination of playing time. We've been maintaining all year that Stover needs to get Wear minutes, and this was a game where it was abundantly evident. Stover played 7 minutes, and those 7 minutes were when UCLA played its best and made its first-half run that got the Bruins back in the game. He's a defensive force that has a chance to be one of the few elite strengths of the team and, after the game that the Wears had, it's clear that Stover needs to get on the court. The Wears, between the two of them, played 55 minutes. And then there's Brendan Lane, who played for one possession, ran up the court, and then was taken out. Lane, at the very least, is a better athlete than either Wear and could add a more athletic dimension to the zone. When the Wears combine for such a poor game you'd think that Lane, at least, deserves more of a chance.
So, it was a game that really illustrated everything we've been emphasizing this season about this team. It also clearly showed what level this team is and, really, what level the Pac-12 is.
Everything is relative, though. As we said, UCLA playing one of the best teams in the conference close on their home floor is a good sign for the conference race. You just need to disregard the level of play in this game, and perhaps imagine those halcyon days of Kevin Love, Russell Westbrook, Darren Collison and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute going up against the Lopez twins, Lawrence Hill and Anthony Goods. Those were the days, so long ago (your kids probably don't even remember), when the Pac-12 was good, first-round draft picks battled it out epically, and UCLA was a titan of college basketball.

Lawmakers must do more to fight cancer in Hawaii, report says
A national report by the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network illuminates the need for more legislative work to combat cancer in Hawaii.
"How Do You Measure up?: A Progress Report on State Legislative Activity to Reduce Cancer Incidence and Mortality," released this month, evaluates each state's activity on issues crucial to winning the fight against cancer. The report found Hawaii measured up to benchmarks in five of the 10 measured areas: tobacco tax and price increase, tobacco tax increase rates, tobacco prevention and cessation funding, and Medicaid expansion.
Rep. Nicole Lowen, D-North Kona, thinks Hawaii has done pretty well when comparing its efforts to prevent and treat cancer with other states. Still, she said Hawaii can always do more to improve health care, particularly when it comes to investing in preventive health services and promoting healthy, active lifestyles. She added, preventive health services can save lives and also money, as well as help people be healthier and increase productivity.
Sen. Josh Green, D-Kohala, Kona, who chairs the Senate Health Committee and is a full-time doctor, said Hawaii is making progress in regards to several of the highlighted issues, but part of the problem is Hawaii's provider shortage and care access challenges. Mindsets can also be obstacles.
Green agreed the state is falling short in physical education time requirements. According to the report, Hawaii requires less than 90 minutes per week of physical education or doesn't require physical education at all. This is alarming because of the nation's soaring obesity rates, as well as the fact that weight control, dietary choices and physical activity are the greatest modifiable determinants of cancer risk for the majority of Americans who do not use tobacco. One in three cancer deaths is due to factors relating to poor nutrition and physical inactivity, including obesity.
Green spoke about the state's early childhood obesity task force, charged with identifying potential legislation to address obesity, such as taxes on unhealthy foods to discourage poor eating choices, funding for more sidewalks and bicycle lanes to promote a healthy lifestyle, and offering more physical education classes for students. He thinks physical education should be mandated for every student in every grade, but said there has been opposition from some Department of Education officials who cite cost as a prohibitive factor when legislation has been introduced.
Green said he's trying to impress on DOE that education is more than books and the state agency is neglecting physical education. For him, physical education goes beyond simply building a healthy physique through exercise and emphasizing essential life lessons, such as teamwork and sportsmanship. It should also help set the precedent of an active, healthy lifestyle for students to maintain as lifelong habits, he added.
According to the report, Hawaii is also one of five states that have no state funding for breast and cervical cancer screenings. Numerous organizations, including the American Cancer Society, recommend yearly mammography for women older than 40 and regular cervical cancer screening from women older than 21.
Green said the report does not take into account the state's mammography self-referral law, which went into effect last year. The law allows women older than 40, for the first time, the right and ability to choose when, where and with whom they'd like to schedule their annual breast-screening exam, without a referral from their primary care physician or permission from their health care provider.
He also mentioned that legislation was passed allowing nurse practitioners to play a lead role in providing basic health services and preventive care, which may include screenings.
Hawaii has made moderate movement toward promoting pain control for patients and responsible pain medicine prescription practices to relieve suffering and improve quality of patient care. It has also improved access to palliative care.
Nationally, the report finds 38 states have reached benchmarks in three, or fewer, of the 10 legislative priority areas measured by the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. Only 12 states and the District of Columbia met between four and six of the benchmarks. No states met the benchmarks in seven or more.
"State legislators must take action on laws and policies that help people fight cancer by emphasizing prevention, making health care affordable, curbing tobacco use and prioritizing quality of life," said Cory Chun, government relations director. "Missed opportunities to pass laws fighting and preventing cancer could limit state revenue and health savings, but could also limit the potential for saving countless lives from a disease that will kill 2,400 Hawaii residents this year."
The report offers a blueprint for effective legislation on matters such as effectively implementing the Affordable Care Act for cancer patients and their families.
"As advocates, we have a duty to inform the public about ways to prevent and treat cancer, but our voice is not enough if state and local policymakers don't take action to fund and implement policies and programs that we know work," said Chun. "The best solutions will save lives and possibly millions of dollars in health care costs, and in many cases, it would cost Hawaii little or nothing to do the right thing."

MIAMI -- None of the New York Knicks were expected on South Beach for Dwyane Wade's 26th birthday party Saturday night.
They pretty much ruined the mood beforehand, adding to a season of Heat misery.
Jamal Crawford scored 22 points and Nate Robinson added 19, including a banked jumper with 2:20 left that put New York ahead to stay, and the Knicks beat Miami 88-84 -- sending the Heat to their 13th straight loss, the longest in the league and the worst skein of coach Pat Riley's career.
"It wasn't pretty," Knicks coach Isiah Thomas said. "But we were able to grind, able to hang."
Able to win, too, for the fourth time in five games -- while Miami continued to plunge.
Only the expansion Heat -- who lost their first 17 games of the 1988-89 season -- have dropped more in a row than this team, which has simply free-fallen since winning an NBA championship a mere 19 months ago.
"Maybe we should hang some more pictures of that trophy somewhere, so we can remember what it felt like to be in that moment," Riley said. "We have to change the energy, somehow."
For the second straight night, a fourth-quarter collapse doomed Miami at home.
Miami led by 10 late in the third quarter and took a four-point lead into the fourth, but lost yet again to match the second-longest skid in team history.
The Heat were outscored 16-8 over the final 6:44, missing nine of their final 12 shots.
Wade led Miami with 22 points, on 7-for-23 shooting, and nine assists. Udonis Haslem scored 11 points and Mark Blount and Shaquille O'Neal each scored 10 for the Heat, who failed to get a key defensive rebound on a miss by Crawford with 24 seconds left -- and paid the price.
David Lee grabbed that rebound, even though Wade and Haslem both were in good position, and Crawford made a couple free throws later in the possession to help seal the win.
"Just our luck, man," Wade said. "The ball bounced. That's been our season, been our luck."
Miami had a chance to force overtime, but Wade missed a 3-pointer with seven seconds left. The rebound bounced off Lee and went out of bounds, giving the Heat one more chance that resulted in Daequan Cook's missed 3 from the right wing.
Zach Randolph had 16 points and 14 rebounds and Lee finished with 15 points and eight rebounds for New York, which rebounded from a 111-98 loss in Washington on Friday.
"That just goes to show the resiliency of our team," Lee said. "We've been able to battle back."
Miami used a 10-0 run to take an early eight-point lead, as the Knicks opened 1-for-8 from the floor.
It was Miami's best opening quarter in weeks. Cook's 3-pointer with 4.3 seconds left gave the Heat a 30-21 lead -- Miami's biggest after one period since a 40-29 edge in Phoenix on Dec. 10.
But nothing comes easily for the Heat these days.
The Knicks got within 35-33 on a short hook by Eddy Curry midway through the second. Miami eventually rebuilt the lead to 10 later in the period, but Crawford scored New York's final five points, closing the gap to 48-43 at halftime.
Miami went up by 10 again in the third, and again didn't find prosperity to its liking.
An 8-0 run got the Knicks within 67-65 after back-to-back baskets by Robinson, and early in the fourth, consecutive baskets by Lee put the visitors ahead 72-71 with 9:48 to play -- their first lead since 2-0.
And in the end, New York had enough.
"To play four in five nights is tough for any team," Crawford said. "The good teams take that step of winning four in five nights. We're not necessarily there yet, but we're building to get there."
- Highlight of the night: The allegedly 5-foot-9 Robinson, a former slam dunk champion, corralling a miss by Crawford with his right hand and stuffing it for a second-quarter score, all in one motion.
- Lightly used Alexander Johnson, who entered averaging 2.4 points, was the first sub off Miami's bench.
- The Knicks' next game is Monday afternoon at home against Boston, which eked out a 104-59 win in the teams' first meeting this season.
- O'Neal -- the NBA's leader in fouls per game -- was slowed by foul trouble yet again. He sat out the final 9:40 of the half after getting two fouls in the first 2:20 of the second quarter.

"I have the worst possible news," said our friend Avram Bar-Shai, calling from LAX. "Zvika has been killed in a helicopter crash and we are on the way to his funeral."
She was referring to the death of Tzvi Luft, who died on July 24. He was 42. Esther and Avram Bar-Shai, Agoura Hills residents who have been our friends for more than four decades, had just returned from a very taxing trip to Israel to see their families. Two days later they were returning to Israel to bury their son-in-law.
My daughter Reeva and Zvika's wife, Ornah, have known each other since they were less than 1 year old. At that time, our families lived in the Pico-Robertson area, and Esther and I pushed our strollers to the playground together.
We had seen the Luft family at the Bar-Shai home on numerous occasions, the last being when they were here for a year-long "sabbatical," culminating in the celebration of their daughter Aya's bat mitzvah.
At that time Zvika gave a very moving speech about the fact that every milestone in Aya's short life was marked with a disastrous world occurrence. In her bat mitzvah year it was the war in Iraq. Zvika wondered what major event would take place when she married, little knowing that he would not be there.
When I asked him what he enjoyed the most about living in the United States for a year, his answer was swift and unequivocal: "Being able to have dinner with my family every night," he said.
A 42-year-old Apache pilot, Zvika rose to the rank of colonel in the Israeli Air Force. He was, according to his peers, "professional and talented," and he did his job with diligence and dedication. Since he had enlisted in the air force at the age of 18, he was due to retire in a year.
News reports said that the Luft house in Kfar Hogla was much too small to contain all of the people who poured in to offer condolences to the family. A mild- mannered fellow who was raised on a kibbutz, Zvika was dedicated family man. A loving husband to Ornah and a proud father of three daughters -- Aya, Mika and Yulie -- Zvika Luft represented the best Israel has to offer.
One can reach for many cliches in an all-too-common disaster like this one. But perhaps in the ongoing continuum of Jewish history, it is best to let his life and his death speak for themselves.

In a small industrial space in Upper Darby, Sultan Bhuiyan watches as one of his workers slides a live chicken upside down into a metal bracket.
With only the chicken's head exposed, the man quietly utters the phrase "in the name of God," and following the ritual of Islamic law, brandishes a knife, running it quickly across the chicken's neck.
He will do this over and over, tenderly stroking the chicken's feathers as he takes it from its cage to the bloodstained killing room.
"People come from all over. Some of them will come and watch the animal be killed. Some want to do it themselves," Bhuiyan said. "The supermarkets sell halal food, but it is not what I consider halal."

I was just wondering if anyone could enlighten me on the situation of gun ranges in national forests. I shoot at a range in the cherokee national forest and it takes a solid 45 minutes to get there. I just hate to drive an hour and a half to not do anything. Would these ranges be closed because of the shutdown even if they are in the middle of nowhere? Thanks for any info.:confused:

Day 44: Football resumes, Time Warner plays hardball, blackout continues
The start of the NFL season Thursday on NBC went unseen by subscribers of Time Warner Cable, where the blackout of Journal Broadcast Group stations, including WTMJ-TV (Channel 4), entered its 44th day.
Despite expectations that the football season, and the fall network prime-time season, would help the two sides resolve their dispute over fees paid by the cable service to carry the station's programming, Journal Broadcast said the cable company's claim that it has sold WTMJ's dial location "is not acceptable to us." »Read Full Blog Post(78)

Taking a look at the 'Best American' and other writing anthologies
Readers who had an early look at the annual "Best American" anthologies and other best-of writing collections might have seen an indicator for this year's Nobel Prize for literature.
Canadian writer Alice Munro, this year's Nobel lit laureate, is included in three of the collections, with different stories in "The Best American Short Stories" ("Train") and "The O. Henry Prize Stories" ("Leaving Maverley") and a personal essay in "The Best American Essays" ("Night"). (All three works come from her 2012 book "Dear Life.") »Read Full Article

Pittsburgh indie band Instead of Sleeping plays Erie
Instead of sitting still, Instead of Sleeping is plunging forward with its music -- expanding its reach and often majestic pop sound. At most shows, the melodic indie Pittsburgh band includes horns and an extra drum kit.
"Sound people always roll their eyes when we get on stage -- 'these guys, with two drum kits,'" said Shaun Sweeney, who sings, plays guitar and occasionally drums, as well. "But it really has added to the aesthetic of the show.
"As well as having more instruments and more things to do or more things to look at and more things to hear, it really adds a thickness, I guess."
Sweeney said the band began adding extra percussion after noting that one of its major influences -- Manchester Orchestra -- would feature an extra floor tom.
"We decided to bring a whole extra drum kit, as well," he said.
The extra drums will be included, but not the horns, at Saturday's show at Basement Transmissions, where Instead of Sleeping has built a devoted following. In Pittsburgh, the group has landed some big opening shows, including one for the Dear Hunter and another for Fun.
"It was before they did that 'We Are Young' (song); they were doing 'Walking the Dog' back then," Sweeney recalled. "They already had the show sold out, like 700 people. When they came on stage for an encore, the lead singer downed like a whole fifth of Jack Daniels or what was left, and they did a cover of the Rolling Stones' 'You Can't Always Get What You Want.' It was by far one of the coolest things I've ever seen."
Instead of Sleeping started about five years ago after high school friends Woody Wright (keys, guitar, drums) and Sweeney joined up with drummer Corey McClaine.
"I met Corey at a party that got busted in college, and he was able to tell the police a fake birthday right off the top of his head, which I was impressed with," Sweeney said. "Jeff (Binando, the bassist) we met through the local music scene."
The past two years, the band picked it up a notch, recording several projects, including the 2012 CD "The Reds, the Blacks and Grays" and a just-released single, "Two Chords." Instead of Sleeping has also ventured beyond Steel City to New York City, Indianapolis, Kentucky and Rochester, N.Y.
"Our plan right now is expansion," Sweeney said. "We've been doing shows out of town almost every weekend because we all still work at home in Pittsburgh. We're going out of town until we can increase our radius and be able to tour full-time, eventually, and make enough money that we don't have to work at home."
Then, Instead of Sleeping, they'll be driving all night long.

Show me the MONEY!
by Mary Reveley
Journal entry for June 2, 1999
Money always gets people's attention. My job is to determine how much money is needed for new and unconventional aeropropulsion technology concepts on engine/aircraft systems. The results of which are used to influence the NASA technology investment and decision making processes.
Today I was given a new assignment: determine/find/development a new cost estimating method for estimating the costs associated with a reusable rocket based combined cycle launch vehicle.
An active area of hypersonic propulsion research at Glenn is the application of air-breathing propulsion to launch vehicles in order to reduce the cost of space access. . Air-breathing propulsion: the piston engine, turbojet, ramjet- all depend on the combustion of fuel with air, where the air is obtained directly from the atmosphere. In contrast, the rocket engine carries both its fuel and oxidizer and is completely independent of the atmosphere for its combustion. Thus, the rocket can operate in the vacuum of space, where obviously the air-breathing engines cannot.
Space access is costly for a number of economic and technical reasons. A rocket is an expendable launch vehicle used for only one flight. The Space Shuttle has a number of expendable components such as the external tank. Others, such as the main engines must be refurbished after every flight. The various components must then be reassembled prior to the next flight. This makes the shuttle one of the most expensive means of putting payload into orbit. From a qualitative technical standpoint, a case can be made for launch vehicles that would be reused many time's without refurbishment or re-assembly. This implies a highly reusable, single-stage-to-orbit launch vehicle.
It currently costs on the order of ten to twenty thousand dollars per pound to launch payload into orbit. The future of the space program is hindered by this high cost and associated low reliability.
The rocket-based combined cycle engine combines the high thrust of a rocket, which is needed for lift-off, with the ram jet engine, which can be exploited after an initial acceleration to sufficient velocity. Upon reaching an appropriate maximum ramjet Mach number, the rocket is re-ignited for the final acceleration to orbit.
Getting back to my problem for the day (and the rest of the month!) is how do I estimate the costs of developing, manufacturing and using this rocket-based combined cycle engine? Welcome to NASA where the unusual is usual! I will spend time researching any work already done by fellow workers, search for information at our library, and contact the Air Force since they have done cost estimating work on advanced concepts. I will also have to learn a cost estimating program used widely by government and industry called Price-H which is a hardware cost estimating computer model.
Today I have been reviewing how the following engines work: the rocket-based combined cycle, the scram jet and the ram jet.

Make up is used to enhance your features and sometimes to hide the features that you are not so fond of but in all cases the ideal make up should be applied so that people aren't sure whether you are wearing it or not. When it is discreet it will nearly always make you look much better than when it is plastered on and so the secret is to know how to apply it effectively.
Depending on your age is when you will decide between using a foundation or a tinted moisturiser. I myself am of an advanced age and I have only recently learnt that foundations are no longer for me as they really show up the wrinkles much more, so I have switched to a lovely light and fresh moisutriser which has a just a hint of colour in it. But if you are still young, you can by all means continue using a good foundation.
Though the first step, what ever your age, and what ever make up you opt for, is to have a very good light and a good mirror. Many a disaster has been made by applying make up in poor light only to find out when you are in natural daylight that you piled far too much on simply because you couldn't see properly!
For foundations, which are thicker than tinted moisturisers, you need to first apply your every day moisturiser to your face, wait a few seconds for your skin to absorb it and then apply your foundation as that way it will be easier to blend it in evenly. Remember to make it gradually fade out along the length of your neck as you don't want your face to be tanned and your neck white!
A tinted moisturiser goes on beautifully on your skin, disguises any dark age spots with its colour but at the same time lets your skin breathe and leaves no powdery bits like foundations do. One of the best choices nowadays is a BB Cream. Once you have applied this and allowed it to dry a little, usually for about five minutes, you can then apply a soft blusher in either powder or cream form (with a peach tone to it) to your cheek bones, a little on your forehead, bridge of your nose and chin. With these touches you will already have a nice warm looking tone to your face which you can now work on.
If you have very thin eyebrows a few little lines sketched in with a light brown eye pencil will do wonders. Smudge them a bit with your finger so that they don't look a harsh straight line but more like real hairs.
Now trace as thin a line as you can with a black kohl pencil along your upper eye lashes and then another line just inside the lower eye lashes. Apply a soft brown eye shadow on your upper eyelids and finish this off with a good lash lengthening mascara.
To complete the whole look a pale lipstick or even a lip bsalm and you will be ready.
All the colours that you have used are all natural colours such as brown, peach and pale pink so your face will be improved but it won't be a look that people can say 'look at all the layers of make up she has put on!'. It should, on the contrary, look very natural and enhance the whole of your face rather than leave it looking like a mask.

Has this pos, always been a piece of #$%$ too?
Great question . one scam to another perhaps ? I thought this had potential looking forward
yesterdays report was pretty weak .... I will go postal if this turns out to be another scam :)
I recommend all somx bagholders that lost cash to rise up and do the same ..
PTX went public a couple of years ago through a reverse-merger with a shell company (that used to be a golf course developer, I think). If you know anything about reverse-mergers, it is basically a method to get a publicly-listed stock without having to sell the company on its own merits to investors. The idea was to make some of the long-time owners and management team at PTX some bucks, along with the management team and shareholders of the shell company. From that perspective: mission accomplished.
Meanwhile, anyone who has since bought into PTX post-merger, good luck to ya. Collins is a savvy cat, but he is a total deal junky - not an operational bone in his body. Note the rapid succession of acquisitions of Great Southern, Cypress/Hawthorn and Somaxon. He needs deals to simulate momentum, because the company's product portfolio and operations won't produce that momentum. The sales force is a mess, with no leadership. The VP of Sales/Marketing just quit, so it is probably total chaos right now. The brand portfolio is made up of GI, pediatric, and now insomnia products. How do you keep a sales force of under 100 reps focused on that mixed bag of tricks?
My guess is that this stock saw its high-water mark a long time ago and probably won't come close to that again.
LargePapa...you can only hope that Pernix gets bought out or really improves its bottom line to increase the share price. I'm a long term shareholder, so I'm with you.
Sentiment: Strong Buy

A fire that burned a Greeley home Tuesday night was begun by accident when the residents of the home used a broken, improperly vented fireplace, the Greeley Fire Department said Wednesday.
The fire, which began about 7:20 p.m. at 2037 8th Ave caused $20,000 in damage to the home and burned about $500 in contents in the home, according to a Greeley Fire Department news release.
The first fire crews to arrive were met with flames shooting out of the attic space of the single family home. Fire crews extinguished the fire and stopped it from spreading to the rest of the house. Firefighters rescued one resident, who was unharmed. The resident's cat was also removed from the house unharmed, according to the release.

BAY CITY -- A look at the top performers for the past week on the MLive-Bay City high school basketball scene.
Player of the Week: Boys
Tyler Robbins proved he's prepared to deliver when called upon. The Bangor John Glenn junior came through with a breakout performance to vault the Bobcats to a 52-47 overtime win over Tawas Area, scoring 27 points and knocking down a game-tying 3-pointer at the end of regulation. "He's been trying to do so much, so fast because he never knows how long he'll be on the floor," coach Dale Clyde said. "This time, he just settled into a rhythm. That was a fun game for him." Robbins stepped into a larger role with leading scorer Connor Bluhm out with an injury.
Player of the Week: Girls
Reyna Frost is great on most nights and spectacular on others. The Reese standout delivered one of her special performances to power the No. 1-ranked Rockets to a 62-41 win over rival Unionville-Sebewaing. Frost poured in 20 first-half points en route to a career-high 28-point performance. She also filled the state sheet with 12 rebounds, five blocked shots and four steals. Frost is a returning Dream Teamer and all-stater who has sparked Reese to a 12-0 mark.
Coach of the Week
Jeff Ligney gets the nod, with an assist to boys basketball assistant Matt Feinauer. In his first season at the helm of his alma mater, Ligney has the Cougars moving in a positive direction – a much needed boost for a school that has had its share of losses. All Saints has rattled off three straight wins and five in the past seven games under Ligney's tutelage, albeit with Feinauer filling in on the sidelines when Ligney was called out of town for his duties as associate commissioner of the GLIAC.

Now that we have seen what is in store for those of use that have to sign-up for Obama-care, and once you find out what the cost is going to be, you cannot help but say no way to tha....
Yet today...we KNOW the cost of this Obamacare insurance is THREE times higher than other insurance. NOT AFFORDABLE to anyone!
Yet What, Nellie and Walker still continue spouting the ridiculous Obama LIE that it's cheaper. Uh, the only 3 supporters left in the nation. You can't fix stupid!

HistoryIn 1998 Excel
Recruitmentwas introduced in Adelaide, to be the commercially focused
recruitmentarm of its parent company, Jobs Statewide.
Jobs Statewide Inc (www.jobs-statewide.com.au) was founded by CEO Wendy-Jayne Williams with a philosophy to support job seekers with high barriers to
employmentto find and sustain work. Barriers to employment can include;
- Indigenous
- Disability
- Long term unemployed
- Youth
- Race
- Religion
- Skills
- Education limitations
With Jobs Statewide Inc role in supporting job seekers for many years, the need to complement job seeker services with additional employer services like Excel Recruitment and Excel Training became apparent.
Thus, Excel Recruitment was established with an objective of providing a full range of quality, professional
recruitmentservices to business' and individuals. The services provided by Excel Recruitment both complemented and supported the objectives of the parent organisation, Jobs Statewide, by engaging employers and offering a total range of
recruitmentservices from entry level to executive positions along with the services provided by the parent, Jobs Statewide Inc.
Excel Recruitment clients were very happy with the service and the reputation and size of the Adelaide office quickly grew. Some of these clients were also operating businesses in states other than South Australia and in 2003, it was time to put the expansion plans into action with the second Excel Recruitment office opening in Melbourne.
Following on from the success in
Melbourne, new offices were also opened in
Sydney. By the end of 2005, Excel Recruitment methodology saw it firmly established as a national organisation that had built a solid reputation as an innovative leader within the recruitment industry.
Today, Excel Recruitment continues to grow, in an environment where other recruitment companies struggle. Services offered in
Sydneyinclude permanent
labour hire, temporary placements, and executive recruitment services.
In the early 1990's Jobs Statewide became a Registered Training Organisation (
RTO) and initially was accredited to deliver training courses in Office Administration, Retail Sales, Stores and Warehousing.
In 2000 Excel Training was formed to take over the RTO from Jobs Statewide and work in conjunction with Excel Recruitment to provide training services to employers and job candidates.
To this day, Excel Recruitment and Training continue to work together to deliver outstanding solutions to our clients, that not only deliver the right people for the right role, but also go beyond placement to assist with retention plans and development solutions that keep key personnel up-skilled to meet business needs. All this whilst adding significant value to a companies bottom line. What a great combination!

Planning a Wind Tunnel Test
By Bob Griffiths
August 6, 1999
Communication is extremely important thing in test planning, especially when the team members are spread across the country within different companies. The original test focal for this test was an engineer at Boeing-Long Beach. The test focal is the one responsible for making sure that everything gets done. To make sure that everybody was working most efficiently, we began having an official teleconference once a week starting about a year ago. These were led by NASA-Ames. Telecons are standard when preparing for a test like this one to ensure that everyone on the test team is on the same page. Early telecons focused on high level topics like test objectives; as the planning progressed the telecons became more and more detailed. As we got closer to the test start date more and more people joined in on the telecons, including the model designers, the model technicians & mechanics, and the test engineers. The telecons ended just before the test started.
One of the issues we discussed in the telecons was whether or not the canards (small movable wings on the airplane forebody, ahead of the main wings) would touch when deflected at high angles. This was a concern because we don't want the canards to run into each other Ð they could be damaged! The solution was found by using a computer aided design (CAD) tool - a computer that we can use to "move" the canards around in a virtual world to look for problems. Turns out the canards will come close but will not touch at the canard angles we will be testing.
This model has been tested before and it is very complicated. It has literally hundreds of parts, with many more new planned for TCA-5. I was responsible for designing some of the leading edge flaps for this test. I did the geometry, the theoretical geometry for the part. When I say geometry I really mean all the mathematical definitions on the computer that describe the parts. Then I did some computational fluid dynamics, CFD, tests on the canards and flaps to see if they met the test objectives. Then we sent the design of the outer mold line (the "OML"), or surface definition, of the flap to the model design shop where they add all the realism, like bolts.
At this point, the contractors have been selected and they have a real good idea of the number and the complexity of parts that will be built. When they get the designs there will be a good deal of discussion back and forth and the fabrication process begins! It turns out that the NASA-Ames model designers will add the realism, but will ask an outside shop to help out with building the parts themselves. The test team tracks the progress of the model parts by e-mails and through the weekly telecons.
