Rose Enjoys 'Great' Week
Although he bogeyed the difficult par-4 closing hole at the TPC Blue Monster course, Justin Rose managed to get past third-round leader Bubba Watson and win the WGC-Cadillac Championship in Miami by a stroke with a closing 2-under 70.
Watson could have extended the tournament with a three on the last, and he set himself up perfectly for that opportunity but missed a 10-foot putt for the tying birdie and shot a 74 on Sunday.
Rose ended up at 16-under 272, earning $1.4 million and an important 550 FedEx Cup points. After accepting the Gene Sarazen Trophy, the 31-year-old Rose sat down with reporters and discussed the final round and the entire week. Here's what he had to say.
MODERATOR: Well, Justin, congratulations on a fantastic victory, must be the biggest of your career, must be a very proud day for you.
JUSTIN ROSE: Yeah, it really is a great day. It's been a great week. It's been a great two weeks to be honest with you. I've been very focused on just sort of seeing this whole Florida Swing as like a body of work and not really trying to put too much focus on any individual tournament. And I kind of knew I was playing well and if I just kept out of my own way for the most part and kept thinking well and doing the right things, I had a feeling something good might happen in these four weeks; and I'm kind of including the next two weeks, as well. For this little beauty to show up on my mantle piece so early in the season, definitely a fantastic feeling, and you know, it sets up a very exciting year.
MODERATOR: Was your heart in your mouth a little bit when you saw your chip sort of going towards the water on 18?
JUSTIN ROSE: Yeah, I mean, it certainly was. I knew it wasn't going to go down into the water. There was just enough rough but I didn't want to have to chip the ball coming back. I was trying to make 5 pretty much the whole day down the whole, but it's kind of funny, when you try to make 5 how difficult that seems sometimes. 6 seems to come into play way too much. I was driving the ball really well all day. I felt very comfortable on the tee shot. Felt like I could get the ball in play. Peter Hanson pulled it left, and when it went left off the clubface, I chose not to even follow his ball with my eyes because I didn't want to entertain anything left.
When I kind of heard that his ball obviously cleared, it may have made me realize - well, should have made me realize it was playing a lot shorter than it was. Tried to keep it up the right half of the fairway, obviously very easy to miss it in the right rough, and from there, I kind of had to really make a decision. I kind of put myself in the worst spot. I could have chipped it out but they had a palm tree exactly where the easy lay up would have been so I had to still fit a lay up into a difficult area, and I had a clear shot at the pin. I figured if I can just get it up, hit it at the pin and just cut it right, I was pretty comfortable from the bunkers or from over the back of the green that I could make four, stroke five. When I dropped the ball, obviously it disappears into the bottom of the Bermuda and I have to dig it out a little bit, but the rest was history. It was good enough.
MODERATOR: When you were sitting in the scoring hut, probably thought you had won, you hear a big roar. What were you thinking?
JUSTIN ROSE: I kind of celebrated like I had won it because I heard the crowd and the people from the grandstands shouting, Bubba has hit in the water on 18 and so I'm like, okay, all good. From that perspective, when I tapped in, I figured it was to win. Then I hear he wasn't in the water when I got to the scorer's hut and he hits it to nine feet and I'm kind of thinking, that was all a bit premature. He hit a marvelous shot into 18. That's the kind of thing Bubba does. He can look out of position on a hole and just go ahead and hit sort of a miles an hour shot.
Even though I had only ten minutes I decided to go down to the range just to keep loose and keep swinging the driver, because obviously that was going to be the critical club in the playoff 10, and 1, to hit the fairways, if you were going to go on and win in the playoff. I just decided to assume he was going to make the putt, keep loose, and obviously when I did not hear a huge cheer go up, it's a weird way to win a golf tournament when you're waiting on somebody else to make a mistake, but obviously you just have to celebrate the fact that you did what was good enough.
MODERATOR: And this must give you great confidence going into the Masters.
JUSTIN ROSE: No doubt about it, if you look at the tournaments I've won, Jack's tournament, Tiger's tournament, a playoff event over here and now a World Golf Championships, the progression is really, really nice. The only thing that really is the next level up is a major. But not to say that I'm at that stage in my career where I'm only focusing on the majors; I think there's a lot more for me to do in the game than to get to that point. But no doubt, I feel my game is getting ready for that. But you know, you've got to not maybe put too much emphasis on the majors. I just have to keep preparing well and keep doing what I'm doing at the moment and hopefully you just put yourself in the right situation at the right time.
Q. Did you expect the score - inaudible.
JUSTIN ROSE: No, I don't think so. I said yesterday, if Bubba shot 70 or 69, it gave everyone the opportunity to go low and catch him. That was kind of the way I felt. It was the way Friday and Saturday - the way the course has played Friday, Saturday, that's the way I saw the day playing out. Obviously the heavy wind that we had today, and I don't know if it was the Sunday pin placements; but it's that extra shot and a half harder, and who knows, obviously anybody playing up and around the lead when the pins are tight and wind is are blowing, probably playing two or three shots harder just due to the situation. No, turned out to be sort of a battle rather than a birdie fest, as it had been the first few days.
Q. When you see that Rory gets within one of the lead, Tiger is at the bottom of the leaderboard with a WD next to his name -
JUSTIN ROSE: Was he.
Q. Would you say that nothing went accord to plan today except for that trophy sitting there?
JUSTIN ROSE: Yes, all of that's news to me by the way. (Laughter) thank you.
Q. That's what we are in the business for.
JUSTIN ROSE: Cool. Didn't know Rory got within one of the lead. Glad I didn't know that. And didn't know Tiger WD'd. Why did he -
Q. Achilles?
JUSTIN ROSE: Oh, really? That's not good news. Hopefully holding himself back for the Masters and doesn't want to do anymore damage. Yeah, but Rory, it's the first thing I said, I think I asked - we were talking about Rory or Lee and the guys, maybe after Friday's round, but the cream always rises to the top and he got off to a slow start this week, I think shooting 1 over. But just shows you that the really good players, they wait for their run. They never panic. They know they are going to get hot at some point during a tournament and they are always sharp at the end.
So just more testament to how good he is. But yeah, also to my point, I wasn't really worried about what everybody else was doing. I said on the range this morning that it was going to take a great round; obviously 70 is a great round in relative terms now. But it was all about controlling what I could control. I kind of knew I got into the lead; it's hard to ignore it out there. But I knew I got into the lead around 14 when I made that birdie, and from there I knew it was just a matter of closing it out.
Q. You were in it for much of last week, as well, and I'm wondering just what is the difference between last week and this week? What are the things that you're able to do a little differently or so forth that make a difference?
JUSTIN ROSE: I'm going to say it's the randomness of golf, really. I felt comfortable last week on the weekend. I felt calm. I felt ready to play well on the weekend. Then this week, I did. Maybe it was just a fact of, you know, you de sensitize a little bit to the pressure, to the cameras, to the crowd and you get more comfortable. And I think that's why guys like Tiger and Phil are so good down the stretch and under pressure, because they have done it so often. I think it's all about just getting comfortable. I felt very comfortable today. I was even kind of checking myself, even on 18 tee, I was like, there was very little nerves. I'm like, this is not normal really, based upon the past. I guess it's a good sign of getting more comfortable out there.
Q. Are you actually trying to be more relaxed down the stretch than you used to be?
JUSTIN ROSE: Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of tricks and stuff going in. It's very easy to say, I'm going to be relaxed today. But there's certain - you've got to know your tendencies out there. I definitely work on my pace and my rhythm from my golf swing to the way I walk to the way I do everything. So I think that's really what changes in most players on the weekend; they tend to get a little quicker.
Q. Four wins in the last 20 months; not sure anybody can match that. What do you attribute that to?
JUSTIN ROSE: Getting old. 31 now. I don't know, just kind of having learned the hard way a little bit. I've certainly had my chances in the past, as well. It's kind of nice to get a little bit of momentum and confidence going. I think it's probably a confidence thing. When I do get into contention now, I believe I can go ahead and close it out. Obviously I've worked hard with - I've got a great team around me. I've got a grade caddie. Fulch has been with me for 3½ years and really trust him down the stretch. I think he gets better down the stretch, and I get better down the stretch, and our relationship is fantastic and it's a very important one.
Obviously Sean Foley, my golf swing, I know how to make a swing to eliminate a certain side of the golf course. For example, 18, I just knew I couldn't hit it left. Even though it's not the prettiest of shots; having that ability, and then I work with Gio Valiante, to your point back there, just trying to keep the right thoughts going through your mind on Sunday. So it's been an evolution, but you know, I can't answer it better than that really. It's a team of people that have all worked hard to help me.
Q. Some pretty stout tracks you've won on, too.
JUSTIN ROSE: Yeah, I definitely take pride on the courses I've won on. Even if I look back on my European Tour career, Valderrama and Huntingdale, courses like that. I looked at my schedule this year and I wanted to play a schedule that favored me by playing the tougher golf courses.
Q. You spoke about a lot of emphasis being put on the majors and maybe trying to dampen that down a little bit. Are you deliberately trying to dampen down your excitement about the Masters, and how do you think that tournament sets up at the moment with so many players playing well?
JUSTIN ROSE: Yeah, based upon what we talked about yesterday briefly with our mate, Rory. There's going to be a lot of expectation on him and a lot of expectation on Tiger, as there always is. I'm probably, now having had the start to the season that I've had, I'm probably in the mix of players to talk about and I'll have to field questions on it I'm sure. But it's all part of being a pro. It's all part of having to - it's part of the job. And I feel pretty comfortable with that. I don't think it changes the way I'm going to approach anything. It's not going to change my expectation levels. I just think if you have the ability just to shut it out really and be able to answer a question honestly, but not really think about it on your own time, that's the key.
Q. What club did you hit on 14?
JUSTIN ROSE: I hit a 52 degree, yeah, which actually is kind of worth noting. I've changed the setup of my bag this year, driver, 3 wood and a rescue 3 iron, which has opened up the bottom end of the bag, where I've added an extra wedge. I feel like my short game has been very sharp this year. Like that scenario right there was perfect, 52-degree downwind and that's a shot I could not have played with the softer wedges I had last year.
Q. How much time do you spend in the States now, and are you feeling more like an American than an Englishman or a South African?
JUSTIN ROSE: You know, if I look at my career, I think my career is definitely suiting living in America right now and for the most part, this is home. I really enjoy going back to England. But actually I sold my apartment there last summer so I don't really have a base back in the U.K. at all. It just got to the point where this is easier on the family to be here. I foresee the kids going to school here in the foreseeable future. You kind of have to make the decision of what's going to be easier for your lifestyle and for your family especially. I don't think you ever lose where you're from.
Having represented England, I'm proud to sit here with the English flag there, and The Ryder Cup instills great patriotism in all the players. You know who you're playing for and why you're doing it. I really do enjoy America from a lifestyle perspective and the Tour out here. I'm a player who balances trying to play both tours, and winning a tournament like this actually is the perfect way to compete on both tours, because it's such a great crossover now. I have the chance to compete and have a run at The Race to Dubai now and obviously it gets you really going well in the FedEx Cup. So it's an exciting win.
Q. Also wanted to ask you about the birdie on 4, that; and were you surprised to have caught Bubba so quickly, to have essentially caught up after four holes?
JUSTIN ROSE: I didn't know what Bubba was scoring. I knew he was hitting it a little left and right. When I glanced back down the fairway, I kind of saw where he was hitting it. It looked like he was hitting a few different clubs off the tee than he did when I played with him for three days. But yeah, that putt at 4, that's like a bonus birdie really. It's kind of a hole that you just try to hit a good shot, get in the middle of the green, take your 3 and move on. Obviously to roll in a good putt is good for the confidence early in the round and obviously that was nice. Obviously 1 is kind of a give birdie. I missed about a ten foot eagle putt there. But then to birdie 4, I felt like it got the round really going and it got me feeling like I was off to a good start.
Q. What club did you hit?
JUSTIN ROSE: I hit 6 iron.
Q. In recent weeks, it seemed that no lead out here is safe. We have seen guys come back from six to eight shots four times this year, and then today, a guy had a three shot lead and then Keegan was up by two. Can you address the specter of Sunday pressure and all those swings that we have seen in this calendar year?
JUSTIN ROSE: Yeah, it certainly has been a crazy year from that perspective. Maybe I was in the perfect spot starting the day. I don't really - I don't know why that's happening. I don't think - maybe there's just, the talent is so deep out here that the guys are good enough to get themselves into contention. But there's definitely something about learning how to win. And, I don't know, maybe there's a lot of players who are good enough to win but just have not quite learned it yet. That's what we are seeing. And I think that will obviously change. But that would be my way of answering that question to be honest. But obviously I think it's exciting times for the PGA Tour and to have a lot of youngsters out there vying and having chances to win obviously is good. It's exciting TV to see swings and changes like that on the leaderboard but as long as you're on the right side of it, yeah.
Q. You announced yourself to the golf world at a very young age; can you remember when you first became aware of Rory?
JUSTIN ROSE: I think it was really the 2007 Open at Carnoustie was when I really became aware of him. He was a great amateur and did really well there. I think great first round there and really got his name on the leaderboard and ended up I forget exactly where, but had a really strong showing. Obviously when you see a kid's name pop up on a leaderboard, you really take note. And then when you see him swing it and hit it, a little different; he's not on the leaderboard through smoke and mirrors. He's on the leaderboard because he's a great player.
Q. Not wishing to belabor the point about the majors but you've won in Europe and you've won here several times and now a World Golf Championships, is the obvious next step being a major?
JUSTIN ROSE: Yeah, I think the trend is that way for sure. I think, you know, I could become a more prolific winner before I completely focus on the majors 100% as my only goal, but no doubt, I think - I believe I'm a good enough player now and I've learned enough along the way that I have a realistic shot every time I tee it up in a major. So that's a good place to be. I feel like I'm actually in probably a perfect spot. The expectations are not too high but I feel my ability is good enough to get the job done.
MODERATOR: Congratulations again Justin.

We are fortunate that we live in NJ and are within easy driving distance to both Bayonne and Manhattan for cruise departures. Flying has become too much of a hassle, and we enjoy the ease and security of parking our car right at the dock.
Embarkation went smoothly. we were aboard the ship and having lunch by 12:30.
The ship,though older, is well maintained. Her teak decks and brass were glistening. The Norwegian Dawn, which we have cruised on before and enjoyed was docked beside her. It really emphasized the difference. No neon or dazzle paint on the Veendam, she is decorated with classic pieces of art,cut glass and such. You definitely know you are on a ship, not a vegas hotel.
We received our luggage very quickly and met our room stewards Tony and Irma. They were very friendly and asked us if there was anything we may need. It may seem unimportant, but the bigger the ships, the more impersonal cruising gets to be. On a cruise in January 2010 on one of the typical big ships, we never even met our steward.
The ship though small had a number of great features. The thermal spa which we signe up for a week for 2 was a treat. Also the library was the most impressive I've seen on any ship. The theater, and culinary arts center were a pleasant surprise, as was the intimate casino and lounges. though a smaller ship, the Veendam never felt crowded
As for food, the ship has only one specialty restaurant, the Pinnacle. To some this may be a drawback. While the veendam may not have 15 specialty restaurants, what it lacks in venues it makes up in quality. I would rate the food in the buffet as superior to most ships specialty fare.
Also refreshing were the variety of activities, lectures, classes available.
a friend of ours took an art class and I brushed up on my photo shop skills.
About Bermuda I'm not going to comment too much. We have been there many times before, and will definitely return. The difference is that with the Veendam in Hamilton we were centrally located, right on front street.day we went by bus to Visit St. Georges and the beaches. The next day was shopping in Hamilton, a visit to the aquariam zoo and lunch in Hamilton. The next day we went to the dockyard and stopped at the somerset squire pub on the way back. We use the unlimited day passes which you can purchase for $12 and have unlimited use of ferries and buses.
On friday night after leaving Bermuda, we participated in a renewal of vow ceremony with another couple in the crows nest which was conducted by Captain Peter Harris. The captain was very friendly and down to earth. He made our anniversary very memorable and Rashida the party planner was wonderful. We had a photographer,wedding cake,champagne and appetizer reception with friends.
This cruise was our first with Holland America, but we hope to have many more.

To the Editor:
In light of the tragedy in Connecticut, I strongly urge our legislators to consider an immediate change to the gun laws now in force. When a person applies for a permit, every adult in the household should be required to submit the same references and asked whether or not they wish to have such a weapon in their home. Any questionable answer should negate the request for a permit.

Overheard: The web is one big fuzz test
|I can tell you that the web is a fuzz test. If you write a program to process web pages, there are few better workouts for your program than to pipe a huge number of web pages into your program.
Matt Cutts, The web is a fuzz test: patch your browser and your web server
Matt writes: One of my favorite computer science papers is a 1990 paper titled "An Empirical Study of the Reliability of UNIX Utilities". The authors discovered that if they piped random junk into UNIX command-line programs, a remarkable number of them crashed. Why? The random input triggered bugs, some of which had probably hidden for years. Up to a third of the programs that they tried crashed.
That paper helped popularize fuzz testing, which tests programs by giving random gibberish as input. Some people call this a monkey test, as in "Pound on the keyboard like a caffeine-crazed monkey for a few minutes and see if the program crashes."

|"Anyone writing for Knol is likely to at least peruse Wikipedia content before publishing. And if they see anything good, they are at liberty to simply lift and copy it over to Knol, and get a adsense check for their time.So, in a way, Google has found a way to monetize Wikipedia content after all."
Michael Arrington, A Few Thoughts On Google Knol
It's been interesting to watch Google and Wikipedia battle it out. Wikia is supposed to announce their new search engine soon, meanwhile Google stays one jump ahead by announcing "Knol." According to Udi Manber (Google official blog), a knol is short for a unit of knowledge.
Google says "A knol on a particular topic is meant to be the first thing someone who searches for this topic for the first time will want to read."
Other points of interest: "The key idea behind the knol project is to highlight authors. Books have authors' names right on the cover, news articles have bylines, scientific articles always have authors — but somehow the web evolved without a strong standard to keep authors names highlighted."

|"Amazon.com has begun publicly testing a third element to its online computing services: a database capability called SimpleDB.
The new Web service joins two others the online retailer launched in 2006 that anyone can pay to use: computing horsepower called the Elastic Computing Cloud (EC2) and data storage called Simple Storage Service (S3). SimpleDB works in conjunction with those services, letting customers store, modify, and query data."

Erick Schonfeld caused a bit of a buzzfire by starting out his blog entry on SimpleDB by saying:

Overheard: How the US Army uses video games
|"Gaming visualization may also unlock the key to the elusive holy grail of military simulation: designs that are accurate and accessible enough to be used for mission-planning rehearsal. Most important is the ability to rapidly import geospecific terrain."
Michael Peck, U.S. Army embraces games — sort of
The US Army made tech news this week when it opened the Training and Doctrine Command's (TRADOC) Project Office for Gaming. The Army got into the game business back in 2002, when it released America's Army as a recruiting tool. The goal of TRADOC is to create an Army simulation tool kit that allows users to build and customize their own training scenarios without needing a third-party contractor to do it for them.
Overheard: Hardware virtualization could make virtualization software obsolete
|"Think of it: a piece of server hardware that carries its own hypervisor embedded directly in the machine's firmware, obviating the need to buy costly ESX or fool around with not-quite-fully-mature Xen."
Jeff Gould, Can new server hardware make virtualization software obsolete?
A couple of years ago, the message was "Why buy fourteen servers when you can use virtualization software and run everything on just one server?"
America listened. They bought just one server. And VMware became the hot stock to watch.
Now hardware vendors like Hitachi are hopping on the virtualization bandwagon — "WE can give you virtualization too," they say. "We'll embed hypervisors in our shiny new blade servers and let you get rid of that extra layer of software." (Actually, that was me speaking, not Hitachi.)
So now the software and hardware vendors are fighting over which way offers the best performance. Hypervisor in the software or hypervisor in the firmware? Duke 'em out boys. We'll be the winners no matter which way it goes.
Overheard: Ask.com will trade you privacy for a cookie
|"Now for the funny part. AskEraser will remain on until you click the AskEraser button again to turn it off, no matter how many times you visit the web site. How does the search engine remember your preferences? By placing a cookie on your computer that lasts for two years."
Brad Linder, Ask.com launches anonymizer tool

Paleogenetic evidence2 directly links Australian aborigines to the exodus of early modern humans out of Africa 50 000 to 70 000 years ago. Moreover, the fossil record dates the prehistoric settlement of Australia to at least 46 000 years BP (before the present), making it home to the oldest early modern humans outside Africa. When Westerners came to Australia, they found aboriginal peoples living as hunter-gatherers and maintaining, as they had for millennia, rock art shelters that had cultural and spiritual meaning for them.3 The images are engraved, stenciled, or painted on the walls and ceilings of rock shelters and have ancestral meanings that living descendents could describe.

My last 2 posts have been so sad that I thought I would tell you about something that I remembered once when the JW"s came a calling.
I guess it would have been funny if it wasn't so darn embarassing!!
When I was younger i was trying to 'get fit' and had taken to doing aerobics in my loungeroom.
I didn't own a leotard so I wore a full peice swimming costume with tites underneath.
On this day I was in the middle of a routine that required me to be on my hands and knees on the floor, when there was a knock at my door.
I jumped up to answer it and found 2 elderly gentlemen, ( JW's) standing there. They were just about to start their speech when one of them quickly said, " we have obviously caught you at a bad time, we will come back another day" and with that, they practically ran up my driveway and down the street!!
I was somewhat confused by this until as I walked back into my house and i looked down and saw that both of my boobs had popped out over the top of my costume and must have been sitting there when i had answered the door!!
Well they never did return, infact I asked my sister who was a JW at the time and she told me that my house had been put on a " do not return" list!!!!! LOL!
So that is a suggestion for all of you wanting to stop the visits!!! It really works!!! Tee hee hee!

From staff reports
MIFFLINTOWN - It was a bit of a homecoming - in reverse - when West Perry visited Juniata Wednesday.
For Al Ream's current team, it was a good night. Juniata slid past the Mustangs 54-50 in a non-league boys basketball game.
Ream, who has ties to both school districts, coached football and track at West Perry prior to taking the Juniata boys job this season.
On Wednesday, the Indians had a solid attack offensively that allowed them to keep pace after a strong start. They had a 30-19 lead at the break, but were outscored in the final two quarters.
Logan Knepp had the big night for Juniata with 16 points. Tyler Clark (12) and Josh Parson (11) also were in double figures.
"We have some balance. We had good balanced scoring tonight," Ream said. "The kids are beginning to start believing in themselves and are playing with more confidence."
The win was a big one, against a Mid-Penn Conference opponent.
"They play Steel-High, they play Milton Hershey. Everybody's tough that they play," Ream noted. "To play them is good experience for our kids because it's a faster-paced game that most of the Tri-Valley League games."
The Mustangs won the JV game, 37-27.
Juniata (8-7) is back on its own floor against East Juniata tonight.
Boys basketball
Mount Union 74, Southern Huntingdon 34
THREE SPRINGS - A quartet of Mount Union players managed double figures as the Trojans dropped Southern Huntingdon, 74-34, in an Inter-County Conference boys basketball game Wednesday.
B.J. Loner's 21-point night was the biggest; Kole House was close with 19 for the Trojans. Klayton Heffner (15) and Trevon Walker (12) also had big points in the win, which put Mount Union above the .500 mark.
Trojans coach Joe Komir said he was pleased with the defensive intensity and scoring in transition; the team forced turnovers as well, he noted.
Mount Union won the JV game, 50-27.
The Trojans (9-8) travel to Moshannon Valley Friday.
Girls basketball
West Perry 62, Juniata 23
ELLIOTTSBURG - Carly Burns scored a team-high nine points, but Juniata fell 62-23 to West Perry Wednesday night in a nonleague girls basketball game.
"They just totally outplayed us in every aspect of the game," Juniata coach Meghan Geedey said. "We got beat by the better team tonight. Give them all the credit, they played very well tonight."
West Perry got a game-high 19 points from Megan Smith and 18 from Madison Urich in the huge win.
"They have a nice player in Megan Smith and other players around her," Geedey said.
West Perry jumped out to a 15-8 advantage after one quarter and didn't look back the rest of the way.
Juniata (13-2, 11-0) will step back into Tri-Valley play on Friday night when they head to Line Mountain.
Huntingdon 49, Mount Union 34
MOUNT UNION - Mount Union has played Huntingdon before and knew what to expect going into Wednesday's non-conference girls basketball game, but the Trojans' defense faltered and it resulted in the 49-34 loss.
"We struggled defensively. We know their players, we knew what they were going to do. Defense has been a big issue for us all year," Mount Union coach Jenny Cunningham said.
Tynita White had a team-high 15 points for the Trojans, and Cunningham said Reegan McCaulley and Ryleah Woodward came in and played some nice minutes in the second quarter.
"Those are two girls that both just started playing basketball last year, so that looks great for the future, but defensively we just struggled," she said.
In JV action, McCaulley had nine points to lead the Trojans, but they still fell, 37-22.
The varsity team (7-9) hosts Moshannon Valley Friday.
Junior High
Boys Basketball
*9th grade game: Chambersburg 61, Mifflin County 38; High scorer - Trey Dudley and Drew Williams 8 points each.

Pa. State Police to accept unwanted, unused prescription drugs
'Drug Take-Back Program' scheduled for Sat., April 27
The Pennsylvania State Police will be looking for your unwanted, expired and unused prescription drugs.
Troopers will accept the medication on Sat., April 27, which is designated as the National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. The service is free and anonymous, and no questions will be asked, state police said.
"The 'Drug Take-Back Program' aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposal, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of these medications," said Commissioner Frank Noonan, Pa. State Police.
The prescription medications may be dropped off between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at select state police barracks, including Frackville, Schuylkill Co.; Hamburg, Berks Co.; Hanover Twp., Lehigh Co.; Reading; Schuylkill Haven, Schuylkill Co.; and Schwenksville, Montgomery Co.
You can find additional drop-off locations by visiting the state police website or the DEA's website.
The program, conducted in partnership with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), also reduces the introduction of potentially harmful substances into the environment.
"As few disposal options exist, people tend to discard medications by rinsing them down the sink or by using other improper methods," Noonan said.
The DEA's fifth National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on Sept. 29, 2012, resulted in more than 244 tons of unwanted or expired medications at more than 5,200 sites operated by the DEA. When combined with the collections from the previous four Take-Back events, more than two million pounds of prescription medications were removed from circulation.

What I Learned From My First Investment
|Email Print
I made my first investing decision ever when I was 11 and I learned quite a bit, in retrospect, from that little experience. I participated in a classroom stock picking competition that was not unlike the stock competitions you see online practically everywhere nowadays. The contest ran for about a month, the stock choices were limited to those listed on the major markets (anything not OTC or pink sheet), and you started with a mind boggling (at the time) $10,000 of play money. I think the classroom competition was part of a bigger competition (or at least mirrored it), but our team never made it out of our classroom.
I don't remember where we placed at the end of the month but it certainly wasn't first but it certainly wasn't last. We chose to put the entirety of our investment into Caterpillar at the advice of one of our team members. He recommended that we purchase shares of Caterpillar because they'd be instrumental in the rebuilding of Iraq (yes, this would be the first time we went in back in the early nineties with another President Bush), something he invariably heard from his parents since we were 11 and I doubt many of us had much insight into those types of matters. Anyway, we plowed our entire $10,000 seed money into Caterpillar and watched as our investment hovered around $10,000 for the entire month. It might have gone up by a few dollars, it might have gone down by a few dollars, but it didn't really do all that much in the month long competition.
In the short term, the stock market is basically gambling. In a time span of a month, you're essentially gambling when it comes to selecting an investment. The team that won the month-long competition was one that invested in a microcap company that spiked at the right time for them and perhaps they understood this idea better than we did. While our team didn't necessarily research Caterpillar extensively, our choice of a large cap, blue chip company sunk us before we executed the trade. If you're interested in reading a famous book detailing this well known idea, I recommend A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton G. Malkiel.
Don't watch your stocks every day. In conjunction with the idea that you should be long in the stock market, you shouldn't watch the market every single day. Since a stock, depending on its volatility, is likely to jump and drop at essentially random, if you watch the performance of your stock every single day then you're likely to read into those moves when there's nothing to read. This may cause you to make a decision based on random events and not on the fundamentals, what should've caused you to purchase the stock in the first place.
The stock market is boring. At the time, I thought the stock market was ridiculously boring. The speed of information was much slower back in 1991. If you wanted a "free" stock quote, it came in the newspaper the next day. Financial news? Newspaper, maybe even the television in your local news. There may have been cable financial television shows but I wasn't aware of any. Nowadays you have free instant stock quotes, financial news 24/7, and a connection to the global markets in a way that never existed to the common investor back in 1991. As awesome as it is, the stock market is still as boring (to me) as it was back in 1991. While I've learned a lot and I'm very much interested in broader market information, the stock market, and individuals stocks in particular, simply doesn't excite me and it's something I can't find myself devoting a ton of time to. This is probably why a majority of my investments are in index funds.
I must warn you, I didn't realize any of these "lessons" back when I was 11 (except maybe about the market being boring), it wasn't until I looked back later (and consumed a few Motley Fool books) that I realized, latently, what I had learned. I probably picked up a few other things back then such as how to read financial news and basic vocabulary (what is a dividend? what is a split?) but I think those ideas above were the most important.{ 8 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

Travel vaccinations
Different countries have infectious diseases that don't exist, or aren't very common, in the UK. Vaccinations can prevent people who travel to these countries from becoming ill or dying from an infectious disease.
Vaccination involves exposing your body's immune system to a weakened or harmless version of a bacteria or virus. This helps your body to produce its own antibodies, which will fight the infection for which you have had the vaccination. You can prevent infection from many of the diseases found in foreign countries by being vaccinated before you travel.
Before you travel, it's important to find out whether you will need vaccinations for the country you're visiting. In order to visit some countries, you will need to show proof that you have had vaccinations for certain diseases. It's best to see your GP or go to a travel medicine clinic six to eight weeks before you travel. If there are less than six weeks before you plan to travel, you should still visit your GP or travel clinic. It may be possible to get vaccinated at short notice.
If you need to have more than one injection for a particular disease, this can be done over a number of weeks. The time between injections will allow your body to respond to the vaccine, so you develop immunity ready for when you arrive. You will probably have vaccine injections given in your upper arm or on the outside of your upper thigh.
You're unlikely to need any vaccinations if you're going to the United States, Western Europe, and most parts of Australia or New Zealand.
The UK has a routine childhood vaccination programme, which includes vaccinations against diseases such as polio, diphtheria, tetanus and measles. If you didn't have your routine vaccinations as a child, or if you missed some of them, you may not be protected. If you're unsure about whether you have been vaccinated, talk to your GP for more information. You may need to have some of the routine childhood vaccinations before you travel.
You will need to pay for some travel vaccinations, not all of them are available from the NHS.
Cholera Cholera
Cholera is a bowel infection caused by bacteria. It's usually spread through infected water or food. Cholera is mainly found in places where there is poor hygiene and sanitation, for example, where there is no clean water or sewers. This includes parts of Africa and Asia. Cholera can cause severe diarrhoea and dehydration, which can be particularly serious in babies, children and older people.
You will need a cholera vaccination if you're travelling to an area that has a cholera epidemic. An epidemic is when a large number of people are affected by an infectious disease which spreads quickly. You should also have the cholera vaccination if you're a relief or disaster aid worker, or are travelling to places where you have limited access to medical care.
The cholera vaccine is given as a liquid which you drink. Don't eat or drink anything for one hour before or after you take the vaccine. Adults need to have two doses between one and six weeks apart. Make sure you have the second dose at least a week before you travel. Children between the ages of two and six need a third dose one to six weeks after the second dose. The vaccine is not recommended for children under two.
The cholera vaccine doesn't give you lifelong immunity and you will need to have a booster to keep you protected. Adults and children over six need the booster two years after the first dose, and children aged two to six need it six months after.
Hepatitis A Hepatitis A
Hepatitis A is a liver disease caused by an infection with the hepatitis A virus. People usually become infected by having food or water that has the virus in it. Hepatitis A causes liver inflammation and becomes more serious the older you are when you get it. The virus is found all over the world, but it's more common in parts of Africa, Asia, and Central and South America.
You will need to have two hepatitis A injections for your body to develop full immunity to the infection. You should have a booster dose six to 12 months after the first. It's best to have the first injection about two weeks before you travel, but it's possible to have it the day before you leave. The vaccine (if the booster dose is given) can give up to 30 years of protection.
You can have a combined vaccine, which protects against hepatitis A and B, or one which jointly protects against hepatitis A and typhoid.
Travel vaccinations
Bupa is proud to work in partnership with MASTA to deliver travel health services including travel health advice, vaccinations, and antimalarials. Travel services are available at a range of Bupa Health Centres.
Hepatitis B Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B is a liver disease caused by infection with the hepatitis B virus. The disease can be mild or severe and for some people the infection can be life-threatening. You get it from direct contact with an infected person's blood or other body fluids, such as semen or vaginal fluid.
Hepatitis B is found all over the world but it's more common in Africa, the Middle East and the Far East.
There are different immunisation schedules, but generally you have three doses. After the first dose, you will need the second a month later and a third five months after that. If you need to be vaccinated quickly, you can ask for the vaccinations in a shorter time.
Japanese encephalitis Japanese encephalitis
Japanese encephalitis is a serious viral infection and you can become infected from a mosquito bite. It causes inflammation of the brain and it can be life-threatening. It's found in Asia and the far north of Australia.
You may need the vaccine if you're travelling to an endemic area (a place where a particular disease is regularly found) for a month or longer, especially if you're going to rural areas. Ideally, you should get vaccinated at least a month before you travel.
Adults have two injections and children over the age of one have three, usually over the course of a month. You will need to have a booster 12 months after the initial vaccination if you're still at risk of being infected.
Meningococcal meningitis Meningococcal meningitis
Meningococcal meningitis is an infection that affects the thin lining that surrounds your brain and spinal cord. It's found all over the world, but it's most common in central Africa, in countries just below the Sahara desert. You can catch the infection from close contact with infected people, for example, from coughs and sneezes.
If you're staying in a country with a high risk of meningitis and you're backpacking or living in a rural area, you will need to have a combined vaccine against the different types of meningitis. If you're going on pilgrimage to Mecca then you must have the vaccination before you go. The Saudi Arabian authorities will ask for proof of this before you can enter the country.
You should have the vaccine two weeks before you travel. Adults and children over a year old will need one injection. Children under one year old will need two injections. The first is given two months before travel, the second is given one month after the first.
Poliomyelitis Poliomyelitis
Poliomyelitis (polio) is caused by a virus. It affects your nervous system and can cause a range of symptoms from fever to paralysis. You catch polio by eating or drinking food or water that has the virus in it, by swimming in dirty water, or by close contact with someone carrying the polio virus. It's mainly found in Africa and Central Asia.
If you were born before 1962 in the UK, you may not have been adequately vaccinated against polio, or had a low strength vaccine.
If you're travelling to a country where polio is common, you should make sure that you have been fully immunised. This means having a course of 3 injections with two further boosters. The polio vaccine is normally given along with the tetanus and diphtheria vaccination in the same injection. In young children the vaccine is given with pertussis (whooping cough) and HIB (Haemophilus Influenzae Type B) as a 5-in-one injection.
If you're travelling to a country where the risk of polio infection is high, and you haven't had a booster within 10 years you may be advised to have one.
Rabies Rabies
Rabies is a viral infection that can be spread from animals to people. You can catch it after being bitten or scratched by an infected animal. Both pets and wild animals carry rabies. It's a serious condition and once symptoms develop there is no specific treatment and the infection is almost always fatal.
Rabies is found throughout the world but it's more common in Africa, Asia, the Far East, and Central and South America.
You may need a rabies vaccine if you're travelling for a month or more to an area where the risk of rabies is high and you can't easily get to medical care. If you may be exposed to rabies due to your activities, for example if you're working with animals, you may also need the vaccination.
If you need the rabies vaccine, you will usually be given three injections spread over a month. You may need to have booster vaccinations if you remain in high risk areas.
Having the rabies vaccine doesn't mean you're completely immune to the disease. If you're bitten by an animal and it's possible that the animal was infected with rabies, then you should get immediate medical help. If you have a further dose of the vaccine and a blood product called immunoglobulin, before any symptoms start, you may be able to prevent rabies from developing.
Tetanus Tetanus
Tetanus is caused by bacteria that live in the soil. It causes muscle spasms and paralysis and can be life-threatening. You can get tetanus if dirt, dust or manure gets into a cut or wound. Tetanus is found all over the world, but is more common in developing countries.
In the UK, you will usually have had the tetanus vaccine as part of your routine childhood immunisations, unless you were born before 1961 when the UK-wide vaccine programme started. Make sure that you have had the full course of injections – three initial injections with two boosters.
If you're travelling to a country where you won't be able to get to medical care quickly, you should have a booster vaccination for tetanus if you have not had one within the last 10 years.
Tickborne encephalitis Tickborne encephalitis
Tick-borne encephalitis is a viral infection that is passed on mainly through tick bites. It can cause inflammation of the brain. There are different types of the disease, which are linked to the area they are found in – Europe, the Far East and Siberia. It's mainly found in the countryside, particularly in woods and forests. You should have the vaccination for tick born encephalitis if you're travelling to the countryside in an area where the infection is common during spring and summer.
The vaccine is given in three doses over a year. If you need more immediate protection, you can have two doses, two weeks apart.
Typhoid Typhoid
Typhoid and paratyphoid fever are both caused by bacteria. You become infected by drinking water or eating food that has the bacteria in it. It causes similar symptoms to food poisoning but for some people it can cause more serious problems such as pneumonia and a brain infection. Typhoid outbreaks are most common in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
Getting vaccinated against typhoid is important if you're planning to stay in areas where typhoid is common and hygiene is poor. You can have the vaccine as one single injection or as a capsule to swallow in three separate doses. You will need to have a booster vaccine every three years if you continue to visit areas where typhoid is common. You may be able to have a combined typhoid and hepatitis A vaccine, if it's available – check with your GP or travel clinic.
Yellow fever Yellow fever
Yellow fever is a disease caused by a virus which is passed on by mosquito bites. It can vary in severity. You may have flu like symptoms that get better over a few days, or a severe illness which causes serious damage to your organs and can be fatal. Yellow fever is found mainly in tropical areas of Africa and South America.
You will need to have the yellow fever vaccine if you're going to, or travelling through, a country affected by the disease. If you're travelling to some of these countries you will need to show certificates to prove you have been vaccinated before you can enter. In the UK, you can only get the vaccination at approved yellow fever vaccination centres.
You will need to have the yellow fever vaccine at least 10 days before you travel. You will be given a certificate that lasts for 10 years. You can have a booster after 10 years if you're still at risk of getting yellow fever.
FAQs FAQs
Can I have travel vaccinations if I am pregnant?
If possible, you should try to not have vaccinations if you're pregnant. If you do need a vaccination, you will need to weigh up the risk of getting the disease against the risk of potential harm to your unborn child.
If possible, it's best not to travel to an area with a high risk of disease when you're pregnant. But if you need to, you may need to have vaccinations.
In theory, if you have a live vaccine then there is a chance that your unborn child will become infected with the disease. However, it's not known how likely this would be to happen isn't known.
At present, there is limited scientific research to say that vaccines can harm an unborn child. However, if at all possible you should not have vaccinations until after your baby has been born. You should only consider vaccinations if there are no other alternatives. Ask your GP or travel clinic for information if you're travelling and you're pregnant.
Can I still take other medicines on the day I have a travel vaccination?
Some medicines can affect certain travel vaccinations. It's important to let your GP or travel clinic know if you're taking any medicines before you have your vaccine.
Tell your GP or travel clinic if you're taking any medicines and where you plan to travel to. Only some vaccines affect certain medicines. Some of these are listed below.
- The typhoid vaccine that you swallow may be affected by antibiotics, so they shouldn't be taken at the same time. This is because antibiotics may prevent the vaccine from working properly. If you're taking antibiotics, your GP or travel clinic may offer you a typhoid injection instead.
- The antimalarial medicine chloroquine can affect how your body responds to the rabies vaccine. If you're taking this medicine, your doctor will need to give you the rabies injection deep into your muscle rather than just into your skin.
- Antmalarial medicines can also interact with medicines to treat heart disease, HIV/AIDS, epilepsy and depression.
- Other medicines may affect how well malaria tablets work. For example, you must wait at least four hours after taking an antacid medicine before having chloroquine.
Ask your GP or travel clinic if the vaccines you need may interfere with any medicines you take.
Is there a travel vaccination for malaria?
No, there isn't a vaccination which will prevent malaria, but there are tablets that you can take. It's important to prevent malaria by avoiding bites from mosquitos. This means always using a mosquito net when you sleep, applying insect repellent, and wearing trousers and long sleeved tops to cover your skin.
Malaria is a tropical disease that you get after being bitten by a mosquito infected with a parasite. Mosquitos are most likely to bite you at night, between dusk and dawn. Malaria affects your red blood cells and organs such as your brain and kidneys. It can be a serious condition and may be life-threatening.
You can get malaria in many countries in the world including those in Africa, Central and South America, the Indian subcontinent, Asia, the Middle East, and the Pacific islands.
There are several different tablets available to prevent malaria. There are different tablets for certain parts of the world. It's important to check with a health professional to find out which tablets are best for the country you're travelling to. Some malaria tablets can also be taken by children.
See your GP or go to a travel health clinic six to eight weeks before you're due to travel. You will need to start taking malaria tablets before you travel, while you're away and when you return to the UK. It's very important to take the tablets as they have been prescribed and to finish the full course when you come back to the UK. This is to make sure you're properly protected.
If you have come to the UK from a country with malaria, it's very important to take antimalarial tablets if you return to your country of origin. Any immunity you have built up against malaria is quickly lost after living in the UK, which means that you will be at risk of getting malaria.
Taking medicines to prevent malaria may not be totally effective, so it is important to see your GP if you develop a high fever after travelling to an area where there is malaria. It's also important to prevent mosquito bites. You can do this by following the advice listed below.
- Use an insect repellent that contains DEET on your skin and clothing.
- Use a mosquito net when you sleep. Nets treated with an insecticide such as permethrin are much more effective than untreated nets. You can also spray your sleeping area with an insecticide – you can combine this with mosquito coils or vaporisers. However, if you're staying in a hotel with air conditioning and insect netting over the windows, this may not be necessary.
- Wear long trousers, long-sleeved tops and appropriate footwear after dusk to cover up your skin.
What's the difference between a live and an inactive vaccine?
A live vaccine is a weakened version of a virus or bacterium. An inactive vaccine is a dead version.
There are different types of vaccine – live and inactivated. Live vaccines contain a weakened, live virus that's designed to help your body develop an immune response without you developing symptoms of the disease itself. Inactivated vaccines use parts of a dead virus or bacteria to help your body develop an immune response. You may need more than one dose of an inactive vaccine to build up enough immunity to a disease, for example you may need a number of injections over a period of time.
Live vaccines include:
- yellow fever
- oral typhoid vaccine
- BCG (tuberculosis vaccine)
- some childhood vaccines
Inactivated vaccines include:
- tetanus
- polio
- hepatitis A
- hepatitis B
- meningococcal meningitis
- rabies
- Japanese encephalitis
If you have a healthy immune system, then it's safe for you to have live virus vaccines. However, because live vaccines contain a small amount of a weakened live virus, if you have a weakened immune system (from having HIV/AIDS or chemotherapy treatment for example), you may not be able to have some live vaccines. Your doctor will be able to tell you if it is safe for you to have a particular vaccine.

MOBILE, Alabama – Two officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency testified this afternoon that Bayou La Batre Mayor Stan Wright never disclosed his family's financial interest in a piece of land used for a federally funding housing development.
Among other allegations, Wright faces charges that he conspired with grant administrator Janey Galbraith to defraud the federal government through the sale of his land to the city to complete Safe Harbor Landing and Estates off of Alabama 188 and Shine Road.
The mayor publicly disclosed in November 2007 that he used to own the fifth of acre and that his daughter was the owner at the time. He abstained when the City Council voted to authorize the purchase.
But Joshua Mikhael Schlossman, a FEMA program officer, testified that Wright's public pronouncement was insufficient notice to the federal agency.
"We do not regularly monitor City Council meetings," he testified.
The $27,249 payment to the mayor's daughter, Mary Cook, represented a tiny fraction of the $15,667,293 that FEMA awarded for the construction of about 100 houses for low-income victims of Hurricane Katrina. The prosecutors allege the transaction broke the law.
Wright also faces witness retaliation and intimidation charges related to actions he took toward a police captain who cooperated with the FBI, but testimony so far has not dealt with those allegations.
Defense attorney Arthur Madden attempted during cross-examination to get Schlossman to acknowledge that disclosing his daughter's ownership of the land and abstaining from the vote meant that the mayor did not participate in the awarding of the contract.
"I don't know that that's true. … What happened before that led to the award?" the witness answered.
Randall Kinder, FEMA's community services section chief, backed up Schlossman's testimony. He said that he visited Bayou La Batre at least six times during the project planning. No one ever told him that property being used for the development belonged to a relative of the mayor.
"That would be a conflict of interest. … It wouldn't be an allowable expense," he said.
Kinder testified that had he received information about the land deal, he would have contacted FEMA's Office of General Counsel.
Kinder also testified that he never said Volunteers of America Southeast was moving too slowly or was in danger of missing a deadline when the nonprofit organization was involved in the project. That contradicts sworn testimony that Galbraith gave in connection with a lawsuit in which she said the city dismissed Volunteers of America as its partner because the group was in danger of missing a FEMA deadline.Follow Brendan Kirby on Twitter: Follow @BrendanKKirby

James Vernon Glenn, 88, of Amarillo died Friday, Dec. 30, 2011.
Memorial services will be at 10 a.m. Thursday in Schooler Funeral Home's Brentwood Chapel,
with Greg Corona, pastor at
Hillside Christian Church,
officiating. Arrangements are by Schooler Funeral Home, 4100 S. Georgia St.
James passed from this world to meet with his parents, relatives and loving friends in Beulah Land, just as he promised his mother
he would.
James was born May 10, 1923, in Tennyson to John and Mattie Glenn, the sixth of seven children. He was an aviation cadet at Texas A&M University, and he entered into the Army Air Force in 1943 to proudly serve his country.
He married Bobbie Forman, and they had two children, Elaine Alford and Mason Glenn.
James was the owner of the Gibson Stores and Jack N Box convenience stores in Amarillo. He married Bessie Pauline McCoy on Dec. 30, 1972, in San Angelo. James died on their 39th wedding anniversary.
James truly enjoyed camping, fishing and hunting with family and friends. Yellowstone, Monument Lake and Eagle Nest were some of his favorite places to visit. Until his health prevented it, each year he would get up from the Thanksgiving table and head to Fort Davis to hunt with his brother.
The family would like to extend a personal thank you to the wonderful doctors, nurses and staff at Thomas E. Creek VA Hospital and Odyssey Hospice.
He was preceded in death by his parents; a sister, Pauline Glenn Simms; three brothers, D.K., J.B. and Clark Glenn; a daughter, Elaine Alford; and a son, Mason Glenn.
Survivors include his wife, Bessie; a stepdaughter, Betty Melinda Leake and husband Tommy of Amarillo; two stepsons, Lester Terry McEntyre and wife Janet of San Angelo and Michael E. McEntyre and wife Lisa of Amarillo; two brothers, Tuny Glenn of Bronte and Dale Glenn of San Angelo; a special niece, Janeen Williams; 13 grandchildren, Amy Clawson and husband Dan, Allison Alford, Colt Glenn, Pam Saunders, Mollie Lee and husband Steven, Dr. Abby Leake, Ryan Leake, Travis Leake, Carrie Searcy and husband Jerry, Lisa Hall and husband Dusty, David McEntyre and wife Heather, Emily Riley and husband Michael and Hanna McEntyre; and 16 great-grandchildren.
The family suggests memorials be to Thomas E Creek Veterans Hospital, 6010 W. Amarillo Blvd., Amarillo, TX 79106; or Odyssey Hospice, 6900 W. Interstate 40, Suite 150, Amarillo, TX 79106.

The article on designer Dana Buchman and the struggles she faced with her daughter really hit home. My daughter is a beautiful, thriving 11-year-old struggling with dyslexia, dysgraphia and ADD. Yes, it's unsettling when you realize your child isn't the standard of perfect, but then realizing she's the perfect one of her is very liberating. It's what makes our children special and fantastic.
Susan T. Schouest

I'm distressed at the "freedom" Buchman felt upon accepting her daughter's learning disability. How shameful that this diagnosis would leave her "devastated." Children with dyslexia or language-based learning disabilities are not to be pitied. They're not to be placed in the background until their learning differences can be accepted. They need a supportive and loving environment, not vain parents who are ashamed that their child is not perfect in their eyes. Most dyslexic children are exceptionally bright. Perhaps Charlotte Buchman's real struggle was living up to her mother's perfectionism.

Chiropractic Treatment for
Foot problems can affect the rest of your body and how you feel. In fact, chronic low back pain is often the result of faulty foot biomechanics, and stiff necks can be caused by problems in the feet.
The causes of foot problems can include low arches, no arches and over-pronation (excessive turning in of the foot while walking). West Hollywood Healing Arts Center can help alleviate your foot problems through the noninvasive use of orthotics.
What are orthotics?
Orthotics are devices inserted in the shoes that give support by creating an arch that prevents the foot from excessive movements.
With orthotic support, low back pain, hip pain, knee pain and foot pain all resolve as proper function is returned to the feet and the walking process is corrected. Sprained ankles also become a thing of the past with the proper support provided by orthotics..
Have foot problems and live or work in Los Angeles, West Hollywood or Beverly Hills? Come in and see Los Angeles, West Hollywood or Beverly Hills Chiropractor Dr. Nick Campos for a foot exam to determine if your chronic low back pain is due to biomechanical dysfunction of the feet and if orthotic support can help. Your feet and your back will be happy you did.

Los Angeles Lakers 99, San Antonio Spurs 83: One half of basketball that spoke volumes
AT&T CENTER — There was one sequence during the San Antonio Spurs' 99-83 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, that gave a glimpse of what had been going on the entire afternoon.
George Hill had the ball at the top of the 3-point arc and dribbled off a pick. He planted off his right foot and attacked the basket. Several Lakers defenders clogged the lane to prevent Hill from getting to the basket, so Hill fired off a pass from his chest to a cutting Spur.
I've seen that pass maybe a hundred times this season and not once did I see it get smothered in arms as thoroughly as it was on Sunday afternoon. The Spurs spent the majority of the day fighting out from under and endless blanket, looking for a breath of fresh air, but Los Angeles provided none.
The storyline in this one is the Laker's length being too much for the Spurs to overcome. It's too obvious an advantage for LA to be downplayed. When a pass was fired out to a 3-point shooter like Richard Jefferson, there was a Laker arm in his face, followed closely by a leg to run San Antonio off the line and force them into a long 2-pointer.
When Tony Parker or Manu Ginobili got into the lane, Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol were there with wacky waving arm flailing inflatable tube man-like arms to bother any shot that went up. The Lakers were first to touch every rebound, corral every loose ball and meet every pass.
Los Angeles' length allows them to have a foot in or near the lane to prevent driving lanes, and recover to 3-point shooters faster than most teams. The width of an NBA court doesn't grow to account for the Lakers coming to town, instead it appears to shrink as the Spurs struggle to find high percentage shots.
"They just clogged it inside, they did a good job of challenging shots," Tim Duncan said after the game. "They give you a little space and challenge you at the end."
The Spurs seemed to run into a buzz saw similar to the one used against the Miami Heat in the first quarter on Friday. San Antonio's 34-13 deficit after one quarter on Sunday was frighteningly reminiscent to the 36-12 advantage the Spurs enjoyed against Miami.
The Lakers out-shot the Spurs 60% to 27.3% and dominated the boards 17-8. Frankly, it set the tone for the entire afternoon and put the Spurs in a all-but-unclimbable hole.
"First half, we couldn't stop them," Manu Ginobili said. "They were great and we couldn't make one, so that was an easy win for them"
Sunday's game shines a bright light on a glaring hole for the Spurs. The Lakers' length is tough to beat. I don't want to get all sky-is-falling on you, but the Spurs have trouble on the boards against some teams, and when those same teams can close out on San Antonio's 3-point shooters? Well, it's not good.
The Spurs face the prospect of a second round matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder, possibly boasting a starting frontcourt of Kevin Durant, Serge Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins, knees and elbows galore. Following that could be a Western Conference Finals series against the Lakers or Dallas Mavericks.
While the Mavs and Thunder might not show the same aptitude for chasing the Spurs 3-point shooters, it's becoming readily apparent that the Spurs fatal flaw this season may be the game of inches.
