No FCD'ers called in USMNT camp, but some old friends were
U.S. Soccer released the list of players who will be participating in the annual January training camp under U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann. This year's camp will run from Jan. 6 through Feb. 1 with the first phase being in Carson, California before things shift to Sao Paolo, Brazil from Jan. 13 through 25. The camp will officially end with a friendly against Korea Republic on Feb. 1 at the StubHub Center in California.
It's not surprising to see no FC Dallas players included in this camp as center back George John would have been the only realistic possibility but John battled injuries late last year so him not being called in is a good thing.
Former FCD midfielder Brek Shea also did not get the call, which also makes sense since he has struggled during his spell in England. However, a recent move via loan to lower-division side Barnsley could pay big dividends for the Bryan native and former Dallas fan favorite on several levels.
However, there are a number of names on the list that are familiar to local soccer fans, six to be exact in one local product as well as five others who once played for FCD. Here's that list:
Omar Gonzalez D LA Galaxy
Eric Alexander M New York Red Bulls
Brad Davis M Houston Dynamo
Clarence Goodson D San Jose Earthquakes
Eddie Johnson F D.C. United
Dax McCarty M New York Red Bulls

Ah, the Jersey Shore. Sun. Fun. Traffic.
Every year, starting with Memorial Day weekend, major routes such as the Garden State Parkway and the causeways that link the mainland to barrier island resort towns become snarled with vehicles.
Road projects that officials promise will ease the gridlock could exacerbate congestion short-term, with ripped up asphalt and reduced speeds near Ocean City and Long Beach Island this summer.

HUNTINGTON - Codie Gustines never won an individual state wrestling championship at Jefferson.
He finished in second, third and fourth during his three years on the mats for the Cougars before graduating in 2004.
He's working on leading Washington to a team championship as the Patriots' coach, however.
In the school's fourth year, Washington scaled the ladder at a pretty good clip, rising to a fourth-place finish in the 2012 state wrestling tournament.
Gustines would be content with Washington ascending one more place during this season's three-day tournament that begins this evening at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena. He thinks even better gains for the Patriots are possible in a field that still includes some of the state's traditional superpowers in Parkersburg and Parkersburg South.
"This is probably the most even state tournament I've been a part of as a wrestler or a coach," Gustines said. "It's pretty much anyone's tournament. It's who shows up to wrestle."

The Patriots head into competition ranked fifth in the state by WVMat.com, trailing No. 1 Huntington, Parkersburg South and Parkersburg and Point Pleasant in the rankings. Washington will have 11 wrestlers among the 14 weight classes participating.
"The big key is having as many as you can making the finals to get those extra points," Gustines said. "Making the finals means huge points.
"You're going to win the tournament in the consolation, so you're trying to keep everybody in it. You have to try to get everyone, even the ones that aren't going to place, they have to win a couple of matches. It'll be a big team effort."
The goal is to have as many finalists as possible. Equally important, though, are the other wrestlers who lose along the way to still be competing in Saturday afternoon's consolation matches for third through sixth places.
It's equally important for wrestlers to score as many points as possible in their victories. Pins, for instance, count double what a simple decision provides. Technical falls and major decisions count for more than a simple decision, too.
"That's what makes wrestling so much different than any other sport," Musselman coach Dennis Burlingame said. "A couple of years ago when I was at Hedgesville (as an assistant), Mario Schiano-DiCola made the final, but he was just decisioning people. A guy in the consolations was getting more points because he was getting pins. Your points add up when you get those bonus points.
"That's what Washington is so good at."
Burlingame thinks the Patriots have a shot of claiming team gold by tournament's end.
"It's going to be a heckuva state tournament," he said. "You're looking at one of the most-balanced state tournaments they've ever had. Huntington's obviously really good, but here's six or seven other good teams.
"Washington's got a shot."
Adding intrigue to the tournament is the addition of Point Pleasant and Shady Spring to the Class AAA field. Point Pleasant won the past three Class AA/A titles, and Shady Spring is a traditional AA/A power.
He's hoping the Applemen, ranked seventh by WVMat.com, can improve on their eighth-place finish a season ago during his first year as Musselman's head coach.
"Our feeling is that if we can get in the top five, I'd be tickled to death," Burlingame said. "I don't think numbers-wise and skill-wise we are in with Huntington and Parkersburg."
Still, the Applemen qualified 11 wrestlers for the tournament after finishing second to Washington in last Saturday's Region II tournament.
His feeling is predicated on where the bulk of Musselman's wrestlers are situated. Three of his entrants are in the four weight classes from 120 pounds to 138.
"The toughest weight classes in the state," he said. "'Thirty-eight' has three former state champions and a state runnerup, plus three state placers. That's a deep weight class."
He's not sure many of his wrestlers can score many of the extra points that come with pins and major decisions because of the talent of those weight classes.
Still, the Applemen do have Cody Spinks, who accumulated the most-possible points by scoring pins all the way through as he won the 152 title last year - his second state crown.
Spinks is the No. 1-ranked wrestler at 152 and earned a major decision over second-ranked Seth Cutright of Buckhannon-Upshur in the regional tournament.
"Last year, we brought seven down and finished eight," Burlingame said. "Obviously, we want to be in the top eight again. ... We're hoping we can place higher than eighth."
Beside Spinks, other state-ranked wrestlers from Musselman include P.J. Dolan, seventh at 113; Bradley DeRito, sixth at 120; Kody Kernan, first at 132; Danny Arndt, sixth at 160; David Stas, sixth at 182; and Derek Estep, ninth at 220.
Washington has nine state-ranked wrestlers.
Nos. 2 include. Dylan Ceravalo, No. 2 at 160, won a state championship at a lower weight two years ago, and Ty Reynolds (106) and Tyler Cross (132). Others ranked includ Tyler Sigler, fifth at 120; Jarod Jones, ninth at 138; Mark Becraft, 10th at 145; Zane Bradbury, 10th at 170; R.J. Wilson, sixth at 195; and Ashby Heath, fourth at 220.
"I'm hoping for a strong showing for the Eastern Panhandle," Burlingame said. "I look for (Mike) Cicchino and (Steve) Hite to place, maybe see Cicchino in the final. Martinsburg's got a couple, (Joey) Fernandez and (Bonefacio) Garcia. Jefferson's got a couple of kids; (Lane) Harder made his debut in the top 10 at 10."
Cicchino, who won his regional championship, is ranked third at 145. Hite comes in at seventh at 132. Fernandez is seventh at 195 and Garcia eighth at 220.
"It looks like we're going to make a good little impression," Burlingame said.
The 220 weight class in AA/A looks particularly compelling with top-ranked Matt Parkinson and No. 2 Vincent Delligatti of Fairmont in the same side of the bracket. Both have just one loss, Delligatti's coming to Parkinson during the early season Hedgesville duals and Parkinson's coming to a Virginia state runner-up.
Billy Wilson (126) is Berkeley Springs other ranked wrestler at seventh.
Wrestlers will compete in one round of action today. Friday's schedule heats up with quarterfinals and semifinals, plus three rounds of consolation competition.
"It's fun," Burlingame said. "It's one of the best sporting events we have - especially Friday. There's so much intensity."
Friday is the make-or-break day.
Washington is excited to see how how its 5-year-old program on the rise fares.
"Everyone's healthy," Gustines said. "Everyone is ready to go. All 11, we have one big team goal -we'd like to place in the top three. ... And each one has an individual goal, too."
It's about the parts making up the whole for the Patriots.

A four-day meeting between leaders of Burma's ethnic armed groups and government peace negotiators concluded in Rangoon on Tuesday with the two sides announcing that they agreed "in principle" on a draft of a long-awaited nationwide ceasefire agreement. However, key parts of the wording of the elusive single draft agreement still had not been agreed upon.
The agreement was lauded in a joint statement from the government side and the ethnic groups' Nationwide Ceasefire Coordination Team (NCCT), but another meeting has been scheduled in the first week of May to work out the remaining issues.
Hla Maung Shwe, a special adviser to the government-affiliated Myanmar Peace Center (MPC), told The Irrawaddy on Wednesday that the long-debated issue of the language that would be used in the agreement had still not been settled.
"The leaders agreed on the first draft in principle, but they must work on the choice of words," he said.
Salai Lian Hmong Sakhong, the leader of the Chin National Front and an NCCT member, said it was important that there was now a single text that both sides could focus on. Previously, the sides had each put forward their own drafts, which were a long way from agreement.
But he stressed that the issue of wording remained a serious concern. The ethnic armed groups want to include the terms "revolution," "civil war," "ceasefire," "federal" and "autonomy"—which they say are important if the document is to accurately reflect the current situation and the history of ethnic armed struggle in Burma.
The government side, for its part, wants to replace the term "civil war" with "armed conflict."
The Burma Army has also insisted that the word "federal" is not used.
And the phrase "in accordance with the current law," is demanded by the military, but rejected by ethnic groups who do not accept the country's military-drafted 2008 Constitution.
"By 'federal,' we mean 'not separate.' We want to include these words because we have been fighting for the equality and autonomy for our ethnic groups," Salai Lian Hmong Sakhong said.
"We are not inventing new terms for this ceasefire agreement, the terms we use—such as 'genuine federal union'—have a long history. [Using these terms] could be the best way to solve our ethnic problems."
The MPC's Hla Maung Shwe said it was inevitable that the details of a nationwide ceasefire would be difficult to work out. "Both sides have anxiety which is rooted in six decades of conflict. The details must be negotiated," he said.
NCCT leaders also met with the ethnic politicians from the United Nationalities Alliance (UNA)—a grouping of ethnic political parties—on Wednesday morning to share the results of their discussions with the government.
Aye Thar Aung, a UNA board member from the Arakan League for Democracy, said that despite the moves of President Thein Sein's reformist government toward a ceasefire deal, a lack of trust remained between the two sides.
"It has been three years since 2011 and the nationwide ceasefire is yet to come. When can we expect the political dialogue to solve our decades-long problems?" said Aye Thar Aung.
Government's wordings are unacceptable. Why is regime afraid of using the terms which are suitable for democracy? President himself had used the term 'Federal System'. Government's unwillingness to see the genuine democratic Union is pissing us off.
The problem is: SPDC regime has no one who is smart enough to do this job. They are brainwashed and cannot see truth about democratic reform. If they are unable to see necessary things for peace, the regime better stop talking about democratic reform. Regime's democracy seems different from real democracy. "Burmese way to socialism" and "Disciplined Democracy" are twin beggars. Or "Disciplined Democracy" is the reincarnation of Ne Win's "Burmese way to socialism".
USDP fails again by refusing words and terminologies which are fit for democracy. By refusing the words like Federal and Autonomy, regime is revealing its standard that it is unfit to lead us into genuine democratic Union. To redeem and rebuild its image, regime better lead us into democratic change with energetic willingness. So far, ethnic armed revolutionists are proving their determination for democracy. The truth shall make us free. Lovers of democracy will get support from the public and they shall overcome stumbling block from USDP.

Medical & Dental Benefits
Medical Insurance
Each employee's needs are different — that's why Duke offers different medical plans to meet the needs of Duke faculty, staff and their family members. Each health care plan covers pharmacy and mental health benefits.
Dental Insurance
Duke offers employees a choice of dental care plans, depending on the level of coverage faculty, staff and their family members may need. Both plans cover preventive, basic, and major services, but they differ in how they pay for covered services. Under each plan, participants can visit any licensed dentist.
Vision Insurance
While Duke's health plan provides coverage for annual eye exams, Duke is pleased to offer a nationwide vision care plan to manage the cost of eyeglasses and contact lenses, as well as eye examinations.
Reimbursement Accounts
Reimbursement accounts help you take advantage of tax savings on eligible health care and dependent care expenses. Duke offers you two reimbursement accounts: a Health Care Reimbursement Account (for your health care expenses not covered by insurance) and a Dependent Care Reimbursement Account (for reimbursement of day care expenses for eligible dependents).
Workers' Compensation
Employees that have an on-the-job accident or injury may be eligible for benefits - including medical care and income replacement - under workers' compensation.
Employee Occupational Health
If you need to get a flu shot, complete a health review as part of the conditions of employment for your job, or find a form, visit the Employee Health website. You can also find contact information and directions to the Employee Occupational Health & Wellness clinics.

Philosophy Major
Are you interested in the biggest questions of the human experience, like the existence of God and the nature of right and wrong? Do you find yourself drawn to debate or rational analysis, or ask questions about how things work or why things are done the way they are? Are you interested in questions that are informed by a variety of academic disciplines?
If this sounds like an accurate description of you, a major in philosophy may be your best choice. The program is designed to teach you to be an incisive logical thinker, a strong writer, oral communicator and ethical citizen. Courses emphasize an interactive approach to learning, where discussion and feedback from professors is of paramount importance. While the department enjoys strong enrollment, we have one of the best student-faculty ratios of any major: approximately 3 to 1.
Philosophy has natural connections with other disciplines, which makes it ideal to pair with another major or minor. Popular choices include psychology, English, economics and political science.
The analytical problem-solving abilities and communication skills that the major stresses are valuable in business, law and medicine. It is no accident that philosophy majors have historically scored the highest of any major nationally on the LSAT – the standardized admissions test for law school – and second only to engineering on the GRE – the parallel standardized test for graduate school.
Illustrating this trend, Saint Joseph's philosophy majors have attended a number of the nation's top law schools and graduate programs and have also been hired by prestigious financial firms and non-profit organizations.

LAWYERS FOR Floyd Mayweather Jr. said the undefeated champion boxer may never fight again if he's not released from the Las Vegas jail he entered earlier this month.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Mayweather's lawyers filed an emergency motion Monday asking that he serve the remainder of his 3-month jail sentence in house arrest.
Lawyer Richard Wright said Mayweather's health is deteriorating by being confined to his cell 23 hours a day and restricted from working out. Jailers are keeping him from the general inmate population because of his celebrity status.
The motion says the boxer's doctor believes the conditions could do irreversible damage to Mayweather's physique.

In an effort to keep the citizens of Seneca County informed and promote good government, please allow me to update your readers about the former 1884 courthouse.
I often have been asked, "We have done without a courthouse for so long, why must we do anything?" The reason we must either renovate or remove and replace the former 1884 courthouse is that our juvenile and probate court is in a building (the former Carnage Library) that does not conform to federal law and standards for public buildings.
According to the space utilization study completed by Stilson and Associates in 2005, in addition to noncompliance issues, the juvenile court building is not large enough to allow for proper court function. Every day Seneca County continues to operate juvenile court in this building, we are exposing our taxpayers to a possible lawsuit.
Again, it cannot be overstated that the compelling reason for action is Seneca County is at risk of a lawsuit for noncompliance with federal law.
Simply removing the former courthouse does not address the issue of an inadequate juvenile court building. If we remove the former courthouse, we must build a new building to provide space for the justice system. This is an important point, as I realize there are many people who would like to have the former 1884 courthouse just removed and have nothing built in its place. However, that does nothing to protect the taxpayer from possible liability for not complying with federal law.
In the past, the voters overwhelmingly have voted against a tax increase for a renovation project. This vote should not be confused with voting to remove the former courthouse. The message is loud and clear that the citizens do not want an increase in taxes and I will not pursue a solution to the courthouse that includes a tax increase.
Fact Box
Ben Nutter
is a Seneca County commissioner.
I believe the majority of Seneca County residents want the commissioners to address the courthouse situation within our budget. In other words, the commissioners should choose the most fiscally responsible option that addresses the juvenile court building situation and does not raise taxes.
A plan to remove and replace the former courthouse will cost local taxpayers about $6.5 million. The current plan submitted by the Seneca County Courthouse and Downtown Development Group to renovate the former 1884 courthouse would cost local taxpayers about $4.5 million. If the SCCDDG is successful in raising all the funds it has proposed, clearly the most fiscally responsible direction is renovation. If the SCCDDG cannot come up the funding it has proposed, the commissioners will be forced to re-evaluate the current direction.
Note: According to a study by the architectural firm of MKC, the maintenance on the renovated 1884 courthouse building would be less than that of a new building over a 25-year time frame.
Many people have commented they are not confident in the proposal put forward by the SCCDDG with respect to structural integrity, cost estimates and available funds. My only response is the engineers and architects who developed this plan are the very same people who renovated the Ohio State Capital and the Ohio Supreme Court buildings. As I am neither an engineer nor an architect, I must rely on the professionals' opinions to make my decisions.
I understand the temptation to believe the "barroom" experts who say the former courthouse is not structurally sound and/or the renovation will be much more expensive; however, doing so would be akin to ignoring the advice of your personal physician and accepting the advice of someone absent a medical degree. I also understand that the most politically popular thing to do would be remove the former courthouse regardless of the financial considerations; however, that is not good government and not good leadership.
As an elected official, I am compelled to continually evaluate new information as it becomes available in order to make the best and most responsible decisions for Seneca County. I will continue to move Seneca County in a fiscally responsible direction because I truly believe that is what must be done for us to prosper well into the future. As a commissioner, I am not emotionally attached to either plan, I only want to make the decision that provides for good government in the most cost effective manner possible.

Gabriel Pilotti sentenced for shooting neighbors' dogs
Published: 5:34 PM EDT Oct 28, 2013 Updated: 6:26 PM EDT Oct 28, 2013
A Chester County man who was convicted of killing his neighbors' dogs has been sentenced.
Gabriel Pilotti shot and killed two Bernese mountain dogs in West Vincent Township in February, claiming he was afraid the dogs were going to attack his sheep, but police said the dogs weren't threatening Pilotti's animals.
Pilotti was convicted last month of two counts of animal cruelty. He was sentenced Monday to two years of probation, 90 days of house arrest and 200 hours of community service.

From the 1997/1998 to 2012/2013 NBA seasons, McGrady played for the Toronto Raptors, Orlando Magic, Houston Rockets, New York Knicks, Detroit Pistons, Atlanta Hawks, and San Antonio Spurs. After the Spurs lost to the Miami Heat in the 2013 NBA Finals, he announced his retirement from the NBA. In 2013/2014 he played for the Qingdao DoubleStar Eagles of the Chinese Basketball Association. McGrady was already ranked 75th on SLAM Magazine's 'Top 75 Players Ever' list in 2003, with a current ranking of 39th, and at one point ranked 31st. His style of play is compared to Vince Carter, Scottie Pippen, Oscar Robertson, and George Gervin. Kobe Bryant claims that McGrady is the toughest player he ever played against at any level, calling McGrady "unstoppable".
He was born on May 24, 1979 in Bartow, FL, to Melanise Williford in Auburndale, FL. He is the product of an area known as "The Hill" in Auburndale, a small town of about 9,000. Auburndale is known for it's many lakes and is in Central Florida, between Orlando and Tampa. Tracy's immediate family has always been a major influence in his life. He was raised by his mother, Melanise and grandmother, Roberta, so Tracy grew to know both of these women as 'mom'.
While at Auburndale High, he quickly became a two-sport superstar. He absolutely loved baseball and his aspirations of playing in the Major Leagues overshadowed any thoughts of the NBA. Some Auburndale coaches were certain that McGrady would be playing in a Major League ballpark instead of on a NBA court. Tracy's hoops tale began in his junior year at Auburndale High. He averaged 23.1 pts and 12.2 rebounds a game with the Bloodhounds during the season. But despite the great numbers, Tracy was not receiving the type of attention that someone with his talents normally got. The only schools that showed interest in him were Florida and Miami.
Soon after his junior year at Auburndale High School in Central Florida, he was invited to participate in the ABCD Camp. Tracy was still looking to get on the map and show the basketball world what he could do. During the senior all-star game at the camp, he dribbled down the left wing on a fast break. Realizing it was James Felton, a 6'9" blue-chipper from NJ who committed to St Johns, between him and the basket, Tracy threw down a vicious windmill dunk over a contesting Felton. Tracy sent the entire gym and surrounding area into a frenzy. It was after this play that word began to travel very quickly about this skinny kid from Florida. "After I made that dunk, I had chills run through my body, like the moment I knew I finally arrived," said McGrady. One of the most popular recruiting newsletter's "Hoop Scoop" called McGrady "the sleeper of the decade." Ironically, he wasn't included in the list of the top 500 prospects before the summer, however in the next edition of the list, he was ranked #2 behind Lamar Odom. While Tracy was still in high school, he was featured in a three page article in a February 1997 issue of the Sports Illustrated magazine.
Joe Hopkins, the head basketball coach at Mount Zion Christian Academy in Durham, North Carolina, received a call about Tracy. It was Alvin Jones Jr, a basketball coach at Kathleen High, one of Auburndale High's neighboring schools. During a visit to Central Florida, Hopkins took time to meet with Tracy and his two "mothers". Coach Hopkins decided to offer Tracy a scholarship to attend Mount Zion, and Tracy McGrady began his rise to T-Mac.
His senior season was his one year at Mount Zion Christian Academy in Durham. It was a successful experience, as Joe Hopkins has been a big part of Tracy's life. Hopkins taught McGrady to respect others, himself, and the game of basketball. "He is my backbone, if it weren't for Coach Hopkins, none of this would be possible.", said McGrady.
McGrady led Mount Zion to a 20-1 record and the team earned the #2 ranking in the nation in USA TODAY's Super 25. Tracy's senior year, he averaged 28 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals per game while shooting 56% from the field, 39% from the three point line, and 79% from the free throw line. Tracy was named the USA Today "Player of the Year" and "Player of the Year" for the state of North Carolina by The Associated Press. McGrady also was named to the McDonald's All-American Team solidifying his position as an elite basketball talent. Obviously, Tracy began receiving attention from all of the top colleges, but also heard he was getting attention from the NBA. As McGrady was about to commit to Kentucky, he started to get an abundance of interest from agents and NBA organizations. Tracy, with the help of his "mothers", ultimately decided to enter the NBA draft as opposed to attending college.
The 6-8, 205 lb prep star, known for playing all five positions at Mount Zion, announced he would make himself available for the 1997 NBA draft in June. "This is the best decision for me and my family. I considered college but my dream is to make it to the top and I have a chance to do that earlier.", said McGrady.
On draft day(June 25th), questions were being raised in regards to when/if Tracy would get drafted. Well, he didn't have to answer those questions very long as he was the 9th overall pick by the Toronto Raptors. He has since joined a small list of players like Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant, and Jermaine O'Neal to make a successful transition from high school straight to the NBA. McGrady's quick success helped many other future 'High School to NBA' players before a 2006 rule implemented by the NBA. The rule stated players must be 19 and one year removed from high school before they can become a member of the league.
Tracy's time with the Toronto Raptors allowed him to play alongside his cousin, Vince Carter from 1997-2000. They both were contestants in the NBA's Slam dunk contest in 2000, where Carter won the title with McGrady finishing second. In a rare occurrence, McGrady helped Carter during the contest, becoming the first contestant to participate in another contestant's dunk attempts. As Carter and McGrady performed some of the most incredible dunks ever, it certainly raised Tracy's game to a higher level.
After the seasons as Carter's sidekick, Tracy chose to be traded to the Orlando Magic in 2000 for a first round draft pick. This trade paid off immediately for both the Magic and McGrady, as fans everywhere saw the arrival of 'T-Mac'. Mcgrady blossomed into an elite superstar in Orlando and was quickly regarded as a top 5 player in the league. The 2000/2001 season was his first with the Magic and he showed everyone why he was drafted directly from high school. During that season, Tracy won the NBA's Most Improved Player Award and was named a starter for the Eastern Conference All-Star Team. With more success during the 2001/2002 season, his second with the Magic, T-Mac had arguably become the league's best player. The 2002/2003 NBA season, his third with the Magic, he won the NBA's scoring title. Scoring an astonishing 32 points per game, T-Mac became the youngest scoring champion since the NBA/ABA merger. The 2003/2004 season, McGrady's fourth with the Magic, brought him another scoring title while averaging 28 points per game. That season also included McGrady's single game, career-high of 62 points, against the Washington Wizards on March 10, 2004.
Although Tracy had enormous personal success, his Magic team's never made it past the first round of the playoffs. In June of 2004, Tracy was traded to the Houston Rockets in a seven-player trade among multiple teams. It gave McGrady a fresh start on a new team, while pairing him up with the 7'6" Yao Ming. During the 2004/2005 season, his first in Houston, Tracy led them to a fifth place finish in the Western Conference. However, in the first round of the playoffs, Houston was eliminated by the Dallas Mavericks in seven games. The 2005/06 season saw an injured McGrady and the Rockets fail to reach the playoffs. In 2006/2007 Tracy led the Rockets to a 52-30 record which was their best finish in over a decade. Yet again, Houston lost a tough series in 7 games, this time to the Utah Jazz. Visibly frustrated following the game 7 loss, Tracy promised to lead Houston to an improved 2007/2008 season. In early 2008, Houston won 22 consecutive games, which was the 2nd longest winning streak in NBA history. Houston entered the post season as the 5th seed, again facing the Utah Jazz. During February, Yao Ming suffered a broken foot that kept him out of the second half of the season. Without their second best player, the Rockets played better than expected and won game 3 on Utah's court. However, even with McGrady's 40 points and 10 rebounds, the Rockets lost game six and the series 4-2 for another first round exit. Then in May 2008, Tracy had arthroscopic surgery on his left shoulder and left knee. McGrady missed 18 games of the 2008/2009 season before the 2009 All-Star break because of his left knee injury. Reports began to surface that McGrady knew, before the season, his knee was not healed when he began to practice again. McGrady had another surgery on his left knee in March of 2009, causing him to miss the remainder of the 2008/2009 season. Doctors said the surgery was on a small area of the knee and the rest of his knee was completely healthy. McGrady was on the injured reserve list for the playoffs while Houston beat the Trail Blazers 4–2 in the first round. They lost in the second round to the eventual NBA champions, the LA Lakers in 7 games. As McGrady was on Houston's roster during the 2009 playoffs, he advanced past the first round for the first time in his career. The 2009/2010 season was McGrady's last with Houston and due to injuries, he saw limited minutes as a reserve in just six games.
In February 2010 McGrady was traded to the Knicks in a multi team deal that included Houston, New York, and Sacramento. McGrady played his first game for the Knicks just two days later, scoring 26 points in a loss vs OKC Thunder. He finished the 2009/2010 season, averaging 9.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 26 mins a game. Over the next two years, his production continued to decrease as he averaged only 8 points a game for the Pistons during the 2010/2011 season and his career lowest of 5.3 points a game for the Hawks during the 2011–12 season.
During October, 2012, T-Mac signed a one year contract with the Qingdao DoubleStar Eagles, playing in the Chinese Basketball Association. Tracy's team finished the season in last place even with McGrady averaging 25 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals a game. A few weeks after the CBA season ended, Tracy gladly signed with the Spurs and was activated for their playoff roster. The Spurs made it to the Finals but lost to the Miami Heat in a 7 game series. Ironically, McGrady's last career playing minutes were also his first during an NBA Finals.
On an ESPN program titled "First Take", McGrady announced his retirement from the NBA on August 26, 2013. Tracy McGrady won numerous individual accolades and continues to be one of the league's most recognizable superstars and men. He was selected to the NBA All-Star Team seven times since 2001 and has been an All-NBA selection 7 times as well. In 2007, he appeared on the cover of a basketball video game, NBA Live 07.
It's obvious that Tracy never limited himself to working solely on the court. Always a forward thinker, McGrady understands how to positively impact people around the world without a basketball. Tracy is involved in his foundation, The Tracy McGrady Foundation, and is very active in the Florida and Houston communities.
He takes trips to Asia, where he serves as an ambassador for basketball and to bring positivity to people across the world.
McGrady travels to the Darfurian refugee camps with leaders of the Enough Project, helping with the crisis in Darfur. Tracy first visited in the summer of 2007, to better understand the situation, saying, "I knew I had to go. I could have read about it or seen it on TV, but you have to be hands on for the full effect. In order to really understand the devastation and the sadness of it all." McGrady brought a film crew with him to make the documentary, "3 Points", to raise awareness and do everything he can to help with the crisis.
Tracy recruited NBA players to support a program trying to link schools in Darfurian refugee camps to American middle & high schools, and universities.
In 2009, McGrady changed his jersey number to three to raise awareness about the Darfur region of the Sudan and educating people about the situation through "3 Points".
McGrady has focused some of his business interests on Dasdak, a tech firm in D.C. and Blue-04, a water company in Florida.
Tracy started a long term business partnership with adidas, with one of his contingencies being that it continued well beyond his playing career. He is known as one of the first pro athlete's to negotiate a long-term endorsement extending beyond his playing career; which he did at 18 years old.
Tracy McGrady and his wife CleRenda Harris have two daughters, Layla Clarice and Laycee Aloe, and son's Laymen Lamar and Layden. Their first son was born on December 27, 2005, during an 82–74 loss against the Jazz in which McGrady left before halftime to be present for. CleRenda and Tracy married on September 12, 2006 in Mexico.
McGrady and Vince Carter are third cousins as Tracy's and Vince's grandmother's are cousins. McGrady learned of this at a family reunion while he was in high school and Vince was enrolled at UNC. They were teammates on the Toronto Raptors before McGrady left for Orlando. After McGrady left, he and Carter had a small feud that was quickly resolved.
Tracy's younger brother, Chancellor "Chance" McGrady, played for the 2008 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball runner-up Memphis Tigers basketball team.

Weekend Open Thread
I'd like to move on from the unfortunate business in the last thread of comments. So have it...
The only news I can find is Rafael Furcal headed back to the Cardinals on a 2-year deal, around $14M. The Brewers found their SS in Alex Gonzalez on a 1-year deal with a vesting option for 2013.
Bruce Levine and Wittenmyer both had articles on the Cubs new third basemen.
I liked Baseball America's take on the trade. Fangraphs and Baseball Prospectus share their thoughts as well.
Ho Ho Ho!
Re: Weekend Open Thread
From the Twitters over on the right.
" Aramis Ramirez's agent, Paul Kinzer, said he is taking a "break" this weekend and hopes to talk again with #Brewers next week."
It's fitting that the lazy players agent takes a "break".
Re: Weekend Open Thread
also, aram is screwed now that LAA is out of the hunt. MIL can basically name their price (within reason, of course) unless PHI gets bored.
Re: Weekend Open Thread
Detroit? I thought they were interested?
Re: Weekend Open Thread
yup, DET.
Re: Weekend Open Thread
I think DET is already overloaded with DHs.
Re: Weekend Open Thread
from fangraphs
"Colvin appears to be a decent defender in the outfield, though it is hard to be certain given his limited chances, but overall he appears to be an upside candidate quite similar to Stewart — he's coming off a rough year, but is still young enough to turn things around. Colvin, however, lacks the minor league wow that Stewart brings. And, more frighteningly, Colvin compares incredibly favorably to another outfielder who has power, hates walks, and defends well: Jeff Francoeur."
if colvin could field...and especially throw...anywhere near francoeur's skill level he wouldn't have too much issue finding someone to give him a shot in RF as a full time player as long as the power stuck around.
i can understand comparing bats, but that's where it ends.
Re: Weekend Open Thread
Yu Darvish please.
Re: Weekend Open Thread
i hope they do something...it's a pretty boring team as it stands...seriously lacking some pop.
i'm still waiting on that BOS/SD compensation...i dunno what to expect at this point, though i'm not expecting a huge loss.
wish they'd go in on fielder...i understand not wanting to spend 25m on a 1st baseman even if he's one of the best...but this is a 130-150m club and they can carry that kind of guy...especially a 27 year old version of that guy.
Re: Weekend Open Thread
why is everyone all of the sudden hoping the Cubs make a splash this offseason? Do you all forget how bad this team is?
The Cubs are a LONG way from being any good. Spending a ton of money this offseason makes absolutely no sense as it doesn't come close to fixing the team. This team is probably 3-4 seasons from being any good. So why sign someone like Fielder when it would just be a waste of his best years. It's not like the team is just missing a big bat.
Going after Darvish seems insane to. Fukudome was a disaster. DiceK had one good season and that was it. Is it really worth such a big roll of the dice? It will cost $50 million at least just for the posting fee. I just don't see that as being smart.
I for one would like to see the Cubs just call it a day, suck for 2 years and get really great draft spots. Obviously that is not much fun, but what else can you do? Its not like the team has any shot at the world series over the next 2 years.
I also think they should just trade Marmol and Garza while their value is good. A couple top prospects would be real nice.
Just my 2 cents. I don't consider myself an expert on the Cubs system, but it sure seems to me that we have a long way to go.
Re: Weekend Open Thread
I tend to agree with you on Darvish. He may turn out to be fantastic, but the track record for Japanese players coming to the U.S. is not great and the posting fee alone for him is going to be outrageous.
Having said that, I don't agree with your thoughts on the next 2-4 years for the Cubs. The organization will be spending $130 - $150 million per year and they have a lot of money coming off the books over the next couple of years. There's no reason this team can't be competitive two years from now, and I don't think it's completely crazy to think they could sneak into the playoffs in 2012 with a couple of key signings or trades.
If you plan to compete a year or two down the road, you don't wait until then to start building the team. You do it over time. So even if you believe the Cubs are going to suck in 2012, it still can make sense to sign someone like Fielder now so he's on the team in a year or two when you think you can compete. Top tier players just aren't available all that often so you have to make a move when they are.
Re: Weekend Open Thread
There are a couple reasons why Fielder makes sense:
- it makes us a potential dominant team in the Central for several years 2013-
- The Comcast deal will be ending fairly soon, and then this team will be able to compete on the same field with the teams that have seemingly unlimited payroll
- There are no other players in Fielder's level (other than Votto) in the next several years
- Its a big market team. Act like it.
I Certainly agree, that as is, this team will not be a championship contender for...who knows?
But Fielder changes things for the Cubs, and the balance of the Central.
Re: Weekend Open Thread
Saying Fielder wouldn't matter is akin to saying we didn't need Sammy Sosa back in the mid 90's.
When the opportunity arises to get a cornerstone piece. You do what you can to get that guy. Much easier to build a winner when you have a legit #4 hitter in your lineup.
Re: Weekend Open Thread
because this is a 130+ million team and 2013 isn't looking good for anything but pitching and bit of OF.
there's not much to "save up for" next year.
Re: Weekend Open Thread
The thing is, going after Darvish..is that yuo have to bid $40-60 million for the posting...then spend $$ on the contract? Fuck..he'd better be Jim Palmer..Mike Mussina and Glavine rolled into one pitcher.
Re: Weekend Open Thread
STL signs furcal 2/14m
Re: Weekend Open Thread
Re: Weekend Open Thread
OK, forget Darvish, let's sign Lee Jung Hyun instead. I think she might get called for the balk on that windup, but Bill Lee's got nothing on her ephus pitch.

Re: Weekend Open Thread
i dunno why he wouldn't....look what roiding pays.
oh well, he won't get to make a speech in his 40s about how awesome baseball was to him and how he's happy to be in a museum.
Re: Weekend Open Thread
Lulz. I finally traded him from my keeper league this year. Sorry, JD.
Re: Weekend Open Thread
HERO SQUAD encourages players to take PEDs. However, we do not encourage them to get caught. Ryan Braun will be fined by his fake team general manager for getting caught.
Re: Weekend Open Thread
STL fans gloating over the braun thing seem to forget who their hitting coach is...and how many people he called liars (especially reporters) through the whole "denial" thing.
the "denial" thing...that's what came before the "have a professional coaching job and a standing ovation" thing.
Wow, it sure seems a lot quieter around here these days and the verbal abuse has dropped off considerably. What happened? The air smells cleaner, fresher... interesting.
The number of comments is sure to drop from 150 to 75 or so per thread without Neal and his sparring partner(s) for the day...
Rob - I've only been coming on for getting close to 3 years now. How many people have been banned since you started? Is Neal gone for good or is he e-mailing you daily to get reinstated, begging for forgiveness? By the way, Jayson Stark reported yesterday that TRN was linked to PEDs so that may explain the roid rage and his temper flaring up regularly like a pack of hemorrhoids...
Just curious - sorry if the questions are sensitive, PLEASE DON'T BAN ME!!!

Re: Weekend Open Thread
Tribster, Sullivan's latest...
The Cubs must decide by Monday's deadline whether to tender contracts to the arbitration-eligible Hill, Jeff Baker, Blake DeWitt, Matt Garza, Geovany Soto and Randy Wells. Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer have been mum, but Garza may be in line for a long-term deal, while the rest figure to be tendered with the possible exception of Hill.
Re: Weekend Open Thread
Don't know about you but if Jedenstein offers Koyie Hill a (playing) contract I'm done with them.
Re: Weekend Open Thread
things get a little more interesting...
"Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that Ryan Braun tested positive for a prohibited substance, not a performance-enhancing drug."
"Rosenthal promises to provide more details in an article that will be posted later Sunday."
Re: Weekend Open Thread
ahhh it's that MSG in the Soy Sauce problem once again
Kendrys Morales anyone?
Anyone think HoyStein goes after Morales now that he is NT'd?
Re: Weekend Open Thread
Have you read somewhere that he has been non-tendered? I read that the angels planned on tendering him a contract.
Re: Weekend Open Thread
Actually, my bad - I THOUGHT he was getting non-tendered (psychologically, I was hoping this I guess), but this is MLBTR's take:
Our projections have Morales earning $2.975MM in 2012 following his second trip through arbitration this winter. There has been some speculation that the Angels would non-tender him after landing Pujols, but they should be able to finding some trade interest. A number of teams could use a switch-hitting power hitter at first base (or DH), including the Rays, Blue Jays, Orioles, Indians, Brewers, Pirates, and Rangers.
[and CUBS]
Re: Weekend Open Thread
if he does get NT then he's probably really busted and not rehabing well.
his upside vs. cost is pretty minimal....4-5m tops.
Re: Weekend Open Thread
Re: Weekend Open Thread
I know, right?
The Indians really went balls-out on that signing, huh?
Re: Weekend Open Thread
Fuck you, Jerry Angelo.
And Caleb Hanie...
Re: Weekend Open Thread
Well, this team (and the management) is getting what they deserve.
Going on the cheap with a QB that doesn't belong in the NFL.
An idiot for a running back, a fucking dickhead for an offensive coordinator, and just terrible game management.
Stealing defeat from the Jaws of Victory.
Good thing we have
baseball to look forward to, er...Bulls?
Re: Weekend Open Thread
All this, Jerry Angelo has been luckier then Tebow through his career. Time to lanch his senile ass.
Re: Weekend Open Thread
Your Blackhawks say hi, how are 'ya?
Re: Weekend Open Thread
The god damn prevent defense and running the ball over and over and over at the end pissed me off more than anything. Also everytime I see Martz call another pass with just 5 lineman protecting I yell sack then it happens. I'm either psychic or Martz is a moron and our line sucks. Debating which one.
Re: Weekend Open Thread
I wouldn't mind this so much if fucking Martz would have had the shitty Hanie RUN some to open up some other things.
It makes the defense think. Like ours did towards the end of the game.
Again, the Marion "play" is just like "I Got a First Down" Williams, who dropped a touchdown pass that hit him in the hands.
Last year there was a debate here on how Jay Cutler was not that good by several of you (not me). He's only the most prolific passer they've had. Not saying much - but sadly the truth.
I hope you see the difference.
Re: Weekend Open Thread
I think a large part of it is the massive overvaluing of the QB and massive undervaluing of the line. Lot of stuff got blamed on Cutler when he was doing everything he could and getting no help from his players (or from Martz). One of the biggest positives of Cutler I see was the ability to basically get in Martz's face and force him to change his play calling which is still only half successful.

Re: Weekend Open Thread
The only reason I'm not livid over what's going on with the Bears, yesterday in particular, is because even if they made the playoffs, they're not beating the Packers. Last year was much worse because I thought they had a chance.
Has TRN tried to sign up with a different user name yet? He was always kind of entertaining when he went off his meds.

Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.

Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.

89(+?) Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - January/February 2009
($110) Bright red. Brooding, slow-to-open bouquet of cherry, dark berries and tobacco. Meaty and powerful, with chewy dark fruit flavors and dusty tannins. Far more difficult to read today than the Croix de Bois. This needs time to stretch out but there's clearly serious material here.

Now You See it, Now You Don't: Exiting a Partnership and Making Gain Disappear
Howard E Abrams
University of San Diego School of Law
April 7, 2009
Emory Public Law Research Paper No. 9-58
In this Article, three methods of exiting are partnership are examined. Each exit strategy offers significant tax advantages to the nonexiting partners. In two of the exit strategies, well-known defects in Subchapter K are exploited, and I conclude that the strategies cannot be attacked successfully by the government using either the detailed rules of Subchapter K or by resort to the partnership anti-abuse rules. However, the third of the exit strategies seeks to exploit language in a treasury regulation in a manner plainly not contemplated by the drafters and which yields a result inconsistent with the structure of subchapter K. I conclude that this exit strategy can be attacked successfully by the government. The two successful strategies show that in many cases the exit of a partner can be used to defer significant amounts of income.

We've invited a great guest, which is why the special day and time: Alexia Garcia, student organizer of a Portland boycott of the OAKS test. Probably the best test acronym by far. There's some information here I'll quote from Education Week, which is in turn from OregonLive:
Alexia Garcia, a Lincoln High School senior, said the tests take away valuable class time and are ultimately unfair measures for both students and teachers. She hoped the boycott could help lower school ratings, which are affected by the number of students tested, to send a message.
The community doesn't need tests to say schools are in need of improvement, she said. "The system is what really is in need of improvement," said Garcia, who is also a student representative on the Portland School Board.
Can't wait to talk to her. Here's the show link.

Will sgi-110 and astx727 walk hand in hand towards approval? I believe sgi-110 days are numbered. They are calling the new compound best in class. Bold words. Now will they spend the $100M on sgi-110? Reading the update, it seems behind the scenes on sgi-110 they knew they were in trouble. So to cushion the news, they needed a new direction. I believe this points at some serious problems with sgi-110. I pointed out how low a response rate they had. Pumpettees cannot understnad that survival with any drug, is predicated on statistics and if you have greater than 80% not responding, well that cannot be good for the final numbers.
First signs that your drug is in trouble. The need to expand late in the trial. That shows that you are not seeing the results needed to move forward. Second red flag, the need to expand the dosing from 3 days to 5 days to 10 days. The third red flag, adding CML to the mix late in the trial. Red flags.
Did you read the title of the release...the best in class in oral...well since there is no oral drug approved, they can make claims like this. They just have to show that this oral drug works a bit better in the lab. What happens in december now? My guess they may not move sgi-110 forward. They will also announce that they owe the astex boys $14M and burn is on the way. Here's something to ponder, why no astex compound moving up the line?
Pumpettees saw the announcement and already claiming victory. They do seem to get these things wrong, one more time will not make a difference. Best in class Oral hypomethylator is the words they read. Well pumpettees already have this approved and selling, even though they haven't dosed one single patient. The question that needs to be understood, will sgi-110 really move forward?
I guess if Dr. M was putting out a PR on my call at $6.92 to sell, he would be calling me the best in class in hyper pumpettee nonsense exposure. Bottom line your still $2.28 off the high.
Sentiment: Sell
Funny Free/Hate/bucket. All this time to bash the stock again and yet you claim yesterday that you bought the stock again "a few weeks ago." Liar liar pants on fire. Caught again....
The last time bucket said anything about buying/selling was on June 27th when he said: "No, I'm not a buyer at this moment". The stock price on that date was: H:4.09, L: 3.94, C:4.01.
He did not say anythjing about buying/selling since.
I didn't make any claim, yesterday.

Any experience with this? Similar advice/experience? I am going for a second opinion at large university tertiary care facility before going for surgery.
before deciding on surgery it would be a good idea to get several opinions from both Orthopedic Spine Specialist and Neurosurgeon Spine Specialist - this way you will know what your treatment options are.
you can also get treatment advise from a good pain doc -
this way you know all around what your options are. remember surgery should always be the last result and only you can decide if that's what should be done. surgery is no guarantee to reduce or eliminate pain. fusion surgery will stabilize the back - click on my name or pic and read my story.
keep us posted -
~~ Joy ~~
There is a web site that helps with some of the pain issues call The American Pain Foundation. They have blogs and conversations that you can research some of the proceedures that are out there.
Good Luck to you and I pray it will be a better outcome.
I had a single fusion - Anterior Lumbar Fusion L5-S1 done 2/08 my disc not only ruptured but it also splintered pressing on both the right and left S1 nerve root- my surgery was a success as I did fuse 100% and there is bone growing back. I do have worse pains now than before the surgery and because of the severity of damage I have permanent nerve damage in both legs.
Do I regret having the surgery? NO - I am glad I had it done.
As stated above, there is no guarantee that back surgery will correct the issues or reduce any pains.
Research is the key here. I did research for an entire weekend and spoke to lots of people who have had same or more levels done before deciding.
It has to be your choice to have surgery done but you should get as many opinions as you can so you know what all is involved.
best wishes -
~~ Joy ~~
That was a few years back, now. Now my Dr.s are telling me, I have degenerative bone disease in my neck, and lower back. Plus, I have two more buldging disks in my neck. Surgery is schedualled for the 31st. of Dec., this year. Great New years gift, eh?
Yes, I am going through with the surgery. Why not? It helped the last time! Sure, this time is a little diferent, but hey, it could work out? I certainly am looking foreward to it. I'll make the promise right now, to report back to you here, at WebMD.!!!
The "Procedure", is a little like this. First, they will have you do a work-up, or "Pre-Op as they call it. Then you check in, get prepped for surgery, put under, then operated on. It took about five hours for my neck. That was removing the bad disk, incerting the bone chip, then screwing down the plate. Sewing me back up, and incerting a drain tube from the wound. I spent one and a half days in the hospital. Recovery was the long part. That was about six weeks.
With it being the back, I don't know? I may have to do that soon enough, I will have to wait and see? Please let us know what you decide to do, and we will be here for you.
We are all in this together, living in chronic pain sucks!
If you have the surgery, be sure you KNOW the surgeon, KNOW AND TRUST NOT ONLY HIM/HER BUT THE HOSPITAL AS WELL. Be very proactive. Do not blindly accept procedures, meds, tests, etc without first knowing why they are necessary but what the expected result should be.
Demand that nursing care be as careful and caring as if they were taking charge of their own mother. Make sure things are kept clean and sterile, any problems, ask for new setup.
In regards to just having an EMG/Nerve Conduction Test done this would have shown the reason you were having such problems is because of disc issues. Your L5-S1 disc was bulging and pressing on the S1 nerve root. Depending on how long this had been going on shows by the pains you had coming out of surgery as there was evidence of nerve damage.
The reason for your first surgery was to remove the damaged disc and put a cage in to help stabilize the area. There is no guarantee that spine surgery will help reduce pains - it's only done to stabilize the spine.
Your second surgery was done to further stabilize your spine more by putting rods and screws in at the L4-5 area.
What point your missing here is is that your spine is more stable now with the hardware in place. And this is what your surgeon was doing - stabilizing your spine.
Nerve damage to the S1 nerve roots can happen over time from discs that are bulging from injuries esteeming from when were were children (as mine was) and not showing up til we're older, from work related injuries or other types of accidents and can also happen because of hereditary (bad backs on one or both sides of family).
I had a couple of surgeons and pain doc's tell me that if surgery can be done within 6 months of the damaged disc then there is a good chance the S1 nerve root will repair itself but that this repair can take up to a year or a little longer. However, discs that have been damaged for longer than 6 months and pressing on the S1 nerve root for long times are less likely to repair itself thereby showing signs of nerve damage.
As with my surgery (click on my name or picture and read my story) the nerve damage had already set in. My surgeon stated that the reason for the L5-S1 fusion was to stabilize the spine. He could only be hopeful if it did help reduce pains. He did what he said he would do - stabilize my spine. My surgery was a 100% success as I have fused 100% and have healed - yes I do have pains worse than before my surgery and I have nerve damage in both legs but this is not from the surgery yet it's from the many years my disc was bulging and pressing on the nerve roots causing the nerve damage to set in.
I did have a plate, 4 screws and a cage put in and I am happy that I had the surgery as my spine is more stable now. If I need to have future fusions will I have them? Yes because it will help stabilize my spine.
Research is the key as with having more than one opinion.
~~ Joy ~~
I also have a number of other spinal problems (this is all due to severe osteo-arthritis in the spine) and we will be tackling each one in due course.
I was very luck to have an excellent surgeon. I was walking the day after surgery (with a walker) and was home in 4 days. I follow his advice on walking everyday, alot, and doing the required physio exercises and do not even need pain killers for this area.
I advise you to take your time making the decision and get other opinions. Remember, as time goes on, so does technology which means this type of surgery is gettting better all the time.
My father was one of the first patients who had a disc removed by the surgeon who invented the surgery, in the early 1950's. It was incredibly different from mine! Hang in, do your exercises and walking, as much as you can and get other opinions.
1-1/2 years ago when I was 64 years of age. PT was not an option; nor were steriod shots to the spine. Sitting and sleeping were my only comfortable positions. I could not stand or walk well and began deteriorating at a rapid level. My posture was at a 90 degree angle, and I needed the support of a walker.
Going to an orthopedic doctor is not the answer. Only neurosurgeons should do this kind of surgery as they went to school and studied everything about the central nervous system. I sought the opinions of two neurosurgeons, here in Las Vegas where I live. Both suggested a laminectomy as well as fusion of two of my discs. Having this surgery was an absolute blessing. It took nearly a year for a full recovery, but I am 75% back to where I was before I developed serious back problems. I also have stenosis in my neck and three discs that need to be fused. However, with my neck I DO have options. I take 300mg Gabapentin at night. When anti-inflammatories stop working, I will have shots to the neck. Surgery is a last resort for me.
For every horror story, there is a great story to be told. Unfortunately, we do not hear them often enough! The surgeon I chose had operated on the backs of two male friends of mine who were told no one would touch them and that they would never walk again. One died a few years ago; he was in his 80's. The other man is in his 70's, was wheel chair bound, and is now on a bowling league five days a week.
Do not be discouraged! Weigh your options and get the best surgeon to be found. If anyone needs a referral to my Vegas surgeon, please write to me.

Organic Mother's Milk
The herbs in this tea-fennel, anise, coriander, fenugreek and blessed thistle- are galactagogues, which come from the Greek work "galactos:, meaning "milk", and "agogue", which means "bringer of". Women have been successfully using these herbs for centuries to help them breastfeed.
We've Got the Right Stuff
We raise the bar. The quality standard of the herbs we use is hard to pronounce, difficult to meet, and it's what makes us different, better. We're not ashamed to say it. Pharmacopoeial: it's the only quality standard our herbalists can rely one when blending teas for your health and wellness.
Personality - Supportive, empowering and believes in you.
Herbal Powder - Traditional European herbs used to help nursing mothers with breast milk production.
Reason to Love - While your bundle of joy is probably causing you no end of delight, moms can also feel overwhelmed and tired, especially when it comes to breastfeeding. We love the fact that the herbs in this formula have been traditionally used to help mothers support their production of breast milk and to promote healthy lactation. With fennel and anise (which give the tea a sweet, licorice-like taste), and coriander and fenugreek, each sip is like stepping into a tradition that been passed down from woman to woman for hundreds of years.
Taste- Sweet, slightly bitter with a distinct licorice-like taste.
Suggested Use
To Enjoy
- Pour 8 oz freshly boiled water over 1 tea bag.
- Cover cup & steep for 10 minutes.

This tea really works! Sometimes my milk supply gets low, so I drink some of this tea. In about a couple of hours, my milk supply has noticebly increased. I love that it is organic.

I am not sure about the effect on the production of milk, but this tea is really tasty and relaxing, and is caffeine free so you don't have to worry for the baby while you're lactating.
