The Afroasiatic Languagesby Zygmunt Frajzyngier Erin Shay
Afroasiatic languages are spoken by some 300 million people in Northern, Central and Eastern Africa and the Middle East. This book is the first typological study of these languages, which are comprised of around 375 living and extinct varieties. They are an important object of study because of their typological diversity in the areas of phonology (some have tone; others do not), morphology (some have extensive inflectional systems; others do not), position of the verb in the clause (some are verb-initial, some are verb-medial, and some are verb-final) and in the semantic functions they encode. This book documents this typological diversity and the typological similarities across the languages and includes information on endangered and little-known languages. Requiring no previous knowledge of the specific language families, it will be welcomed by linguists interested in linguistic theory, typology, historical linguistics and endangered languages, as well as scholars of Africa and the Middle East.

Daily Journal
TUPELO – Four-term City Council member Nettie Davis waited 12 years to serve as the leader of the city's policy-making body, a role she ends this week.
Davis, 72, a retired Tupelo Public School District art teacher, made history a year ago this week when her fellow council members unanimously selected her as council president, the first black and first woman in the role.
She tried to emphasize council and community-wide unity and civility as council president.
"You're going to have disagreements," she said Friday. "But you can talk it out and have resolution."
Two wards changed representatives a year ago this Tuesday when the new council was sworn in. Both are first-time elected officials – Lynn Bryan of Ward 2 and Buddy Palmer of Ward 5.
Former Councilman Fred Pitts of Ward 2 served as council president all four years during the previous administration. He unsuccessfully ran for mayor, resulting in new leadership in both Tupelo's top executive the council leadership positions.
Five of the seven council members interviewed by the Daily Journal last week all praised the overall leadership of both Mayor Jason Shelton and Davis. Councilman Mike Bryan of Ward 6 and Willie Jennings of Ward 7 both were unavailable for interviews.
Few votes in the first year of this council and administration resulted in narrow 4-3 decisions. The council unanimously approved 15 of Shelton's 16 department head nominations. Mike Bryan voted as the lone dissenter against city attorney Ben Logan's nomination to replace the long-time city law firm od Mitchell McNutt & Sams.
Lynn Bryan, a private contractor, said his first year as a public official has reaffirmed his belief in consensus-building on the council and the community to avoid factionalism that can limit the public body's ability to achieve goals.
"You've got to remember it's not just what you want to get done," he said. "It's what you have convince six other folks and the mayor to support."
However, desire for unity doesn't mean the public officials haven't become frustrated with each other after passionate discussions. Lynn Bryan and Davis remained after a council work session in February to continue a heated disagreement about when to schedule a vote related to the planning for a new police headquarters.
However, Bryan later said he regretted taking the disagreement personally and apologized to the former teacher by giving her a shiny red apple.
Speaking of unity and civility, councilman Palmer, a resident living in part of unincorporated parts of Lee County annexed in 2012, said he hopes on-going negotiations between the city and the North Lee County Water Association to allow Tupelo Water & Light to provide services to annexed customers doesn't turn contentious.
"I hope they realize what is in everyone's best interest now," he said. "I hope we get a resolution and it doesn't get tacky."
Two-term Councilman Jim Newell of Ward 3 said the current environment on the council places him a very different position compared to his previous four years, when he was frequently a lonely voice of opposition. He sees himself now as a key swing vote for Shelton when an issue has potential to result in a 4-3 decision.
"Jason doesn't have four votes in the bag every time," Newell said. "I'm kind of in the center and my opinion does matter."
However, dynamics could change this week when Mike Bryan, the most senior member on the council who hasn't served as president, is expected to receive majority support for the position at Tuesday's meeting. He strongly clashed with Shelton and other council members on creation of the city attorney position and the more recent vote to extend hours to sell alcohol.
As for Davis, she said she can relinquish the role of council president as easily as she accepted it. However, she'd welcome another chance to lead the group.
"Maybe I can have another opportunity to serve as president again before this four-year term ends," she said.

No wrongdoing in Purti group's funding: S Gurumurthy

RSS ideologue S Gurumurthy, who was asked by the Sangh founthead to probe charges against BJP President Nitin Gadkari, today said he had found "no moral or legal wrongdoing" in Purti Group's funding and alleged that
the media is giving the issue a political colour.
In a letter to the BJP President, Gurumurthy emphasised that he has given a clean chit to the beleagured BJP leader. He said he stood by the views he had expressed at the BJP Core Committee meeting on November 6 after which the party had expressed its full faith in Gadkari.
"I reiterate that on my investigation I have found that there is no wrong doing morally and legally in the Purti matter," Gurumurthy said in his letter.
Gurumurthy, a Chartered Accountant and financial analyst, maintained that he had professionally examined the Purti papers and expressed his professional views.
"But I saw sections of media giving political colour to my professional views," Gurumurthy said.
BJP also stood firm in support of Gadkari, saying he is a social entrepreneur who has worked for the welfare of the farmers of Vidarbha in Maharashtra. "A large number of farmers of Vidarbha were committing suicide. Today they are getting a good price for their sugarcane," BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad said.
The party also mentioned the clean chit given by Gurumurthy and said the well-known CA had found there was no bungling in the investments made in Purti Group.
"Gurumurthy has said there is no wrongdoing in the investment pattern of Purti and the party accepts it," Prasad said.
Gurumurthy had tweeted yesterday on the issue which he said was misinterpreted by the media. He removed some of the tweets.

Sorry, dude, but this article is bias. I'm 100% sure that only a small percentage of people even know about an R4DS, and even a lower number of people even having one (I'm guessing 3-5%). Majority of DS owners are under the age of 16, the only access they have to getting one, is by the parent. If you really believe 7.5-10 million are using a R4DS, then I have no clue what's going through your mind. If 65% of people use the R4DS, Nintendo would take immediate action and create a whole new DS. There not numb-headed enough to not do so.Originally Posted by thas

Levitation, telekinesis, the ability to control nature, even predict the future... since she was two years old, Bo has had gifts she could neither fully understand nor control. Raised by a small group known as the "True Believers," the orphaned girl has been safeguarded from harmful outsiders who would use her forces for personal gain. But now that she is 10, her powers have become stronger, and the threat has grown more dangerous.
With her life and future now in jeopardy, the "Believers" turn to the only person they see fit to be her full-time protector. That is, once they break him out of jail. Tate, a wrongfully imprisoned death row inmate who's lost his will, is initially reluctant - until he witnesses one of her extraordinary abilities. Bo sees people for who they truly are... and who they may become.
Tate and Bo begin their journey, one in which trust must be earned. Traveling from city to city, every place they stop and everyone they meet will be changed forever. But they'll have to keep going to stay one step ahead of the sinister forces after Bo's power... because it will take a miracle to keep them safe forever.
The powers of a young girl may hold the fate of our world in "Believe," from executive producer J.J. Abrams ("Revolution," "Star Trek: Into Darkness") and executive producer/writer/director Alfonso Cuarón ("Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," "Children of Men"). One-hour drama.


text: National Grid Low-income National Grid customers can get up to $200 towards their heating bills By Tom Magnarelli • Jan 15, 2016 Tom Magnarelli / WRVO News National Grid received a $10,000 donation from Dominion Transmission towards grants for low-income upstate residents to help pay for heat this winter. Charles Rivers of Syracuse was one of those residents that filled out a grant application for this season. He is receiving $200 for his heating bills which is the maximum amount a customer can get. "That really helped out a lot, especially when you have children in the house, little ones in the house, it helps out so much," Rivers said. Extra taxes for ornamental streetlights in Syracuse put on hold By Ellen Abbott • Apr 29, 2015 Michael / via Flickr Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner's administration's plan to add extra charges on some homeowner's tax bills for ornamental streetlights in the city of Syracuse has been put on hold. The idea for these charges is to let people who in what's called "special lighting districts" to cover more of the $1.9 million bill National Grid sends every year to the city. Presently, Syracuse collects $220,000 from homeowners in the special lighting districts, and the rest comes out of the general fund. Oswego revokes Brookfield's right to post warning signs along Oswego River By Gino Geruntino • Sep 23, 2014 Gino Geruntino / WRVO The city of Oswego is taking the first step toward restoring peace and quiet to residents living near the Oswego River. Last night, the Oswego Common Council voted unanimously to terminate an agreement with Brookfield Renewable Energy allowing the company to post warning signs. Brookfield also uses an alert system with sirens meant to warn fisherman about rising water levels near a dam that the company operates. Homeowners say the sirens are too loud and go off too frequently, including one resident who said he can't open his windows because of the frequent noise. Tornado kills 4 in Madison County; thunderstorms leave thousands without power around region By WRVO News • Jul 9, 2014 Ellen Abbott/WRVO The National Weather Service says a tornado struck the Smithfield area killing four people in Madison County and leaving tens of thousands without power and causing significant damage through the region. A line of severe thunderstorms moved through the entire region of western, central and northern New York Tuesday evening causing damage in various areas, but Smithfield suffered the worse. Some billing relief for National Grid customers after bitter winter By Ryan Delaney • Apr 21, 2014 Ryan Delaney / WRVO National Grid customers should get some relief from their next energy bill after prices skyrocketed during a frigid winter, thanks to supply costs for electricity ticking down slightly. National Grid says customers can expect their next electric bills to be 40 percent cheaper than the month before. A bill for 600 kWh of energy used will drop from $130 in March to $75 in April. National Grid says supply costs, cold temperatures impacted winter electric rate spikes By Gino Geruntino • Apr 7, 2014 Gino Geruntino / WRVO For some people living in central and northern New York, this past winter wasn't just cold and snowy, it was expensive too. The higher electric rates many customers were saddled with even prompted Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) to call for a federal investigation last week into whether or not consumers were being unfairly overcharged. While at the 10th Annual Symposium on Energy in East Syracuse Ken Daly, president of National Grid New York, said that he shares the pain that many consumers felt when they received their bills during the coldest parts of the season. Schumer calls for investigation into high winter electricity rates By Gino Geruntino • Apr 3, 2014 Ellen Abbott / WRVO News file photo In response to what he calls "mind-boggling" rate increases for electricity this winter, Sen. Charles Schumer is asking two federal agencies to determine if customers were overcharged. Schumer says he wants the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to investigate the wholesale electric and gas markets to make sure there wasn't price gouging. "The FTC is the premier consumer regulator when consumers are ripped off," Schumer said. "FERC would look at wholesale rates and things like that, relationships between the different parts of the grid." News Briefs: Thursday, Jan. 30 By WRVO News • Jan 30, 2014 Plans for a casino siting board are delayed; National Grid receives a credit to save customers some cash; New York shows positive workplace safety signs; and $1.24 million is sent toward state farms.

National Grid deals with equipment failure By Ellen Abbott • Jun 20, 2012 Matt Katzenberger / Flickr Two major power outages in the Syracuse area in the span of 48 hours left thousands of central New Yorkers in the dark.

40th edition of the Giro delle Dolomiti
We have reached the 40th edition of the Giro delle Dolomiti and we say this with pride.
During 40 years we have brought thousands of cyclists around the Dolomites and along the most beautiful and attractive routes of the three provinces of Bolzano, Trento and Belluno.

All the participants in the Complete Giro indeed will go to Obereggen, covering the 6 km from the crossroads Ega/Lavazè to Obereggen, as timed stretch. The result of this stage will be the seventh time valid for the individual and the team placing in the final classified results.
The best times scored inthis stage from participants,male and female, in the Complete Giro,will be awarded, "on the field", with the "40th Anniversary" trophy.
Having participated in this special edition will be for everyone a reason of pride and an event to be remembered.
We wait for you in optimal form!

Charl Du Toit: Dam I wanted the game to end with me (Shepard) and Tali living happely ever after .... dont like the end of ME3 :( hope Shepard is stil alive in ME4 and you can stil Romace Tali
Vida Burova - Barauskaite: I'd survive that watch me!
jumps of a spaceship falls into alien planet and dies
slow clap
MissPat95: I shot the little crap too, but my ending was different, I reunited with the Normandy (and hot babe Garrus) but FemShep puts Anderson's name on the wall, did anyone else get this ending?
Matthew Wiseowl: i dont get it i mean how do you get from somewhere in the citadel to earth without your head imploding?
Dunlaw: I also read that depending on a characters military power and readiness that the mass relays aren't destroyed so much as damaged so if you have the max readiness the relays are repairable.
Danny Hidalgo: The whole point behind that "last breathe" is to assume he/she survived. Had that not been the case.There'd be no point in showing it. Really, there wouldnt be.
coolsnape: he does not survive,just because he twitches doesent mean he survives plus everyone escaped the area so i dout anyone could save him in time,it was probably his last breath or something similar
DesiredToDivine: Do ALL the side missions o_o, remember being able to get it Leviathan DLC and some other DLCs should give you quite a boost though.
Franziska Bäcker: also i have to had Baterian/Turrianer/Quarianer etc. all spezies? and ALL Missions?
MadMrZack: I got that ending the first time I played through because i didn't know about the readiness system
MrLyricsMistress: I did all this :( Had 100% in each galaxy. Played through import from 1 & 2 with complete paragon in both. Hmmm
Andrew Dawson: it helps to do all.. and i mean all side missions on the citidel.. plus.. if you rewrote the geth in me 2, then with the proper actions, u can have both the quarians and the geth on your side at the same time.. other vairables occur, causeing a total of 17 possible endings, with similar outcomes of course
MrLyricsMistress: How the hell can you get it that high? I only got to 3600+ But I didn't have any of the down loadable content.
Dimdim316: In the extended cut ending the catalyst tells you that if you choose the destroy option it will destroy all technologies,i think. So that would bring the galaxy into a dark age. And in every ending you change everybody's life without asking them about it so that is not a valid argument. Yes, lets call it even.
mattsamuel1: Exactly my point you did not ask anyone what they thought changing an entire species,mixing synthetics and organics you never asked anyone if that's what they wanted. And i still do not understand how the galaxy is in a 'dark age' when Hackett clearly states that the Citadel and The Mass Relays can be rebuilt if this is what you are referring too. I say me and you call a truce we both have different ideas, Different opinion's, heck we even have different Shepard's We call it even here yes?
Dimdim316: Yes you are forcing the galaxy into a dark age, you didn't ask anyone what they thought about it before hand. And no matter what the Reapers have done destroying an entire species is genocide no matter what species it is. So in the destroy ending Shepard pretty much becomes as bad as the Reapers. Also learn to write properly your comments are getting hard to understand.
MadMrZack: I totally agree with you.

can i use my own hard drive on the wii is there anyway???
wii was built gamecube backward compatible for a reason, so you dont have to do exactly that.
but what they DO need to add to the VC is gameboy, gameboy color, gamegear, wonderswan and other handheld consoles of yore, and they can be downloaded to the ds. This is where that rumored new DS model would come in handy, the one that is rumored to be removing the gba slot in favor of internal memory storage. If that is indeed what they're working on, then they need to hurry it up!

Perhaps they can incorporte something online where you download the file (using your wii serial number or something), burn it to a dvd and pop in into your wii. This is of course ignoring huge download times.
It also ignores the fact that Nintendo has shown no interest in letting the Wii play/read DVDs. Technically, it should be possible... and probably amounts to nothing more than a firmware update, but I'd think if they were going to do it, they would've released the Wii with DVD playing ability enabled to begin with.Originally Posted by sarspants

I'm suspicious of the wording. The Wii disc is "DVD-based" so they might be throwing "DVD" around here loosely just referring to the fact that the Wii disc is dual-layer. It's not the first time I've heard to people refer to it as a "DVD" versus "Wii optical disc" or such.Originally Posted by sarspants

Sussex stifle Lancashire
Sussex's second half-century opening stand in successive days kept Muttiah Muralitharan at bay long enough to earn a draw against Lancashire at Hove.
The hosts were set 302 to win in a minimum 66 overs, after Lancashire declared their second innings on 206 for eight at lunch.
But Sussex were content to bat out the day - Richard Montgomerie (50) and Chris Nash putting on 93 in 43 overs on the way to the safety of 145 for five by stumps, on a pitch of good pace and even bounce.
Muralitharan (26-13-25-4) belatedly struck twice in three balls - kick-starting the loss of four wickets for 15 runs in four overs.
It was not quite enough and a little too late, though, from the master off-spinner who drew a blank in his first 13 overs following his five wickets on day three.
Last season's champions and runners-up therefore both still await significant momentum for another title push, well off the pace currently set by Yorkshire.
The morning session of a sunny final day was all about Lancashire getting their sums and timing right to keep Sussex interested - and give Muralitharan a worthwhile opportunity.
Steven Croft (65) completed his maiden first-class 50 as he and Tom Smith took their hard-working fourth-wicket stand to 80.
There was much stout defence in Croft's 80-ball half-century, although among his five fours were two memorable shots - a cover-drive off Mushtaq Ahmed in the first over and a resounding cut off Rana Naved-ul-Hasan.
Smith, conspicuously watchful on the third day, was slightly more adventurous in the morning but still needed 132 deliveries before being stumped off Mushtaq six runs short of what would have been a first half-century for him too.
The tall left-handed all-rounder managed just four boundaries, the pick of which was a clip off his legs off Jason Lewry.
It was Croft who made most of the pace as Lancashire ticked over at close to a run a minute.
He had one escape - just after reaching his 50 - when Chris Adams put down a routine head-high chance at first slip off Lewry (3-81).
The drop cost only 15 runs, however, before the same combination accounted for Croft as he edged an attempted run down to third-man.
Dominic Cork fell cheaply, caught at mid-off trying to accelerate the scoring rate - and Mark Chilton, cleared of any breaks following x-rays on his injured elbow, was also looking to up the ante when he holed out at cover off Mushtaq.
Luke Sutton went caught behind shortly afterwards - and after the subsequent loss of Smith, Lancashire decided they had enough runs on the board.
Montgomerie and Nash responded with an entirely unhurried, and mostly featureless partnership - topping 50 for the first wicket as they had on day three, in a Sussex season previously bereft of such a feat.
Murali's sudden rush of wickets did, however, give Lancashire renewed if relatively fleeting hope.
He had Nash pinned lbw on the back foot - and Michael Yardy poked a catch bat-pad to short-leg for a second-ball duck.
After Montgomerie had contributed Sussex's only half-century of the match - from 124 balls - he followed some mid-innings swing to be caught behind off James Anderson.
Then when Adams got one from Murali that bounced enough to take the shoulder of a forward-defensive bat for another caught-behind, thoughts of a 5pm finish had to be shelved.
Murray Goodwin and Andrew Hodd dug in, however, to keep Murali out for the next 12 overs.
They therefore re-established the status quo sufficiently - before Goodwin went bat-pad to the Sri Lankan - to close out a draw after all.
Murali finished with match figures of 9-98.
But Cork reasoned that the fact that even such a world-class bowler found it hard to come by his wickets was proof enough that Lancashire faced a tough task to take 10 in only two sessions of a match which suffered a first-day washout.
"When you've got one of the world's best spinners on there and even he's finding it a struggle to take wickets, you know that it's a a very placid pitch," said the all-rounder.
"There wasn't a lot happening, and they played very conservatively."
Cork was nonetheless satisfied with the visitors' performance.
"All in all it was a good match, to say we lost a day's play," he said."Both teams fought hard, and we can come out with a lot of credit."

Definition: This entry provides the distribution of the population according to age. Information is included by sex and age group (0-14 years, 15-64 years, 65 years and over). The age structure of a population affects a nation's key socioeconomic issues. Countries with young populations (high percentage under age 15) need to invest more in schools, while countries with older populations (high percentage ages 65 and over) need to invest more in the health sector. The age structure can also be used to help predict potential political issues. For example, the rapid growth of a young adult population unable to find employment can lead to unrest.
Population Pyramid
A population pyramid illustrates the age and sex structure of a country's population and may provide insights about political and social stability, as well as economic development. The population is distributed along the horizontal axis, with males shown on the left and females on the right. The male and female populations are broken down into 5-year age groups represented as horizontal bars along the vertical axis, with the youngest age groups at the bottom and the oldest at the top. The shape of the population pyramid gradually evolves over time based on fertility, mortality, and international migration trends.

DA Says OC Jail Inmate Died of Liver Disease
On Feb. 9, the Orange County district attorney's office, which investigates all in-custody deaths inside county jails, released the latest of its investigative reports on the nine such incidents that occurred last year, some of which were the focus of a recent Weekly feature story. This report concerns 43-year-old Gregorio Torres, a homeless man from Dana Point who was arrested for an "outstanding warrant" on June 24, 2010. According to the report, Torres was a self-acknowledged alcoholic who drank "12 beers a day" and suffered from numerous medical problems relating to his disease and lifestyle, including malnutrition, mild alcohol hepatitis, inflammation of the ears, swelling of the feet and an enlarged heart.
A day after arriving at the jail, Torres "was assigned to a medical housing unit" at the Central Men's Jail Complex's Intake and Release Center. Although he admitted to being an alcoholic, Torres "denied any other medical problems." Medical records reviewed by DA investigators show he was treated daily at the jail until July 4, when Torres developed a "fever" and a doctor requested he be transferred to Western Medical Center Anaheim.
A hospital physician immediately diagnosed Torres as suffering from "ethyl alcohol withdrawal, fever, hyponatremia, possibly lower-extremity cellulitis and liver disease." He continued to receive treatment at the hospital, but on July 17, his condition worsened, and Torres was transferred to the hospital's intensive-care unit. Five days later, on July 22, Torres suffered a heart attack and at 5:45 p.m. was pronounced dead.
As with the last inmate, Richard James Wilson, whose death the DA investigated, toxicology reports show he was full of drugs, including diazepam, licodaine, midazolam, lorezepam, temazepam, oxazepam, trimethorprim. However, in Torres' case, these were all found to be from prescription drugs and were present at levels deemed "therapeutic," so they played no role in his death.
"Torres' death was natural, caused by cirrhosis of the liver, attributable to chronic alcohol abuse, and multiple organ failure," concluded Deputy DA Keith Bogardus, who wrote the agency's report. "Simply put, the evidence does not support a finding of criminal culpability in Torres' death."

Dangerous Fakes of Hammar H20
CM Hammar, of Göteborg, Sweden announced that fake copies of their Hydrostatic Release Unit, the Hammar H20, are being produced, posing a serious safety hazard.
The copy is almost identical to the original product, with Hammar's logo and address on the labels, however, the fake does not work. Hammar tested several of the copies. Not one of them worked properly according to SOLAS' specification. The fake H20 will not release a life raft or an Epirb.
Hammar stated that they see this as a very serious situation. There could be a number of ships at sea that are sailing with fake Hydrostatic Release Units. If any of these ships were to sink, there will be no life rafts or Epirbs to help to rescue the seafarers in danger.
Make sure your Hammar H20 is legitimate:
• Always purchase your products through approved distributors or authorized service points for life rafts and Epirbs
• Make sure that you receive the Hammar multilingual product manual and a raft label with each unit for life raft H20 or Hammar marking instruction for Epirb H20.
• If you check on the underside of the Hammar H20 you should be able to find five fabrication marks on all units produced since April 2006. Units produced before that date have only two fabrication marks.
• The serial number and production date can always be verified by contacting CM Hammar at firstname.lastname@example.com.
• The fabrication mark on the upper side of the unit must always point directly towards the rope.

Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE)
What's in this article?
Remember this song from when you were little: "The thighbone's connected to the hipbone"? Well, the song may be silly, but one thing is true: A good, stable connection at your hip joint is what lets you walk, run, make that jump shot, and shake it on the dance floor.
But in some teens — particularly those who are obese — the thighbone and the hipbone are a little less well connected than they ought to be because of a condition called slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE).
Though the name's quite a mouthful, it simply refers to a shift at the upper part of the thighbone, or femur, that results in a weakened hip joint. Fortunately, when caught early, most cases can be treated successfully.
What Is Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis?
To understand SCFE, you first have to know a little about the hip joint. The hip is a ball-and-socket joint, which means that the rounded end of one bone (in this case, the "ball" of the thighbone) fits into the hollow of another bone (the pelvis). Ball-and-socket joints offer the greatest range of movement of all types of joints, which is why you can move your legs forward, backward, and all around.
For a teen who is still growing, there is also a growth plate at the top of the thighbone (femur), just under the "ball" portion of the joint. This is called the physis, and it's made out of cartilage, which is weaker than bone. The job of the physis is to connect the femoral head (the "ball") to the femur while still allowing the bone to lengthen and grow.
When a teen has SCFE, the epiphysis slips off of the top part of the femur, almost the way a scoop of ice cream might slip off a cone. Sometimes this happens suddenly — after a fall or sports injury, for example. But it can also happen gradually, with no previous injury.
A mild slip (what doctors call a stable SCFE) causes a person to feel stiffness or pain in the knee or groin area, and possibly to develop a limp. The pain and the limp typically tend to come and go, worsening with activity and getting better with rest.
A more severe slip (called an unstable SCFE) is usually much more painful. The person might not be able to put weight on the affected side. Because of the direction of the slipped epiphysis, the person's foot and leg may begin to turn outward. An unstable SCFE is also serious because it can restrict blood flow to the hip joint.
Sometimes SCFE can irritate the nerves that run down the leg and can cause knee pain. This type of pain is called referred pain, which means pain originates in one part of the body but is felt in another part. In this case, pain originates in the abnormal hip joint but is felt in the normal knee joint.
Catching SCFE early makes a big difference in how easily doctors are able to treat it.
What Causes It?
No one knows for sure what causes SCFE. Doctors do know that it mostly happens in people between the ages of 11 and 16 who are going through a growth spurt. SCFE is more common in guys, though girls can have it too. Sometimes a person has a family history of SCFE.
SCFE is also more likely to happen to teens who have specific stuff going on with their health, such as:
- obesity (carrying extra weight puts increased pressure on the growth plate)
- endocrine disorders like diabetes, thyroid disease, or growth hormone problems
- kidney disease
- treatments for disease, like radiation and chemotherapy for cancer or taking certain medications, including steroids
How Is It Diagnosed?
If a doctor thinks you may have SCFE you'll need to see an orthopedic doctor (a doctor who specializes in the treatment of bones), who will do a physical exam, checking the range of motion of the hips and legs and seeing if there is any pain. He or she will also take X-rays of the hip to look for a displacement at the head of the thighbone.
Sometimes, the X-rays will come back normal but the pain, stiffness, and other problems will still be there. In these cases, a magnetic resonance imaging study (MRI) might be ordered. The MRI has the ability to highlight contrasts in soft tissue, which makes it especially useful in diagnosing very early SCFEs.
How Is It Treated?
SCFE is always treated with surgery to stabilize the bone that slipped. But even before the surgery, the doctor will try to prevent any further slippage by recommending rest and the use of crutches to avoid putting weight on the affected leg. Often, once the SCFE is discovered, the patient is admitted to the hospital to ensure that they rest, and so treatment can be done as soon as possible.
With milder slips, the surgery is often done as an outpatient procedure, which means a patient can leave the hospital the same day or the day after the surgery if there are no complications. More severe slips may require more extensive surgery and a longer hospital stay.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia (when a patient is completely asleep). Using a fluoroscope — a special X-ray machine that produces a real-time image of the hip on a TV screen — as a guide, the surgeon will make a small incision near the hip, then put a metal screw or pin through the bone and the growth plate to hold it in place.
Sometimes the surgeon will stabilize the other side as well, even if it hasn't slipped yet, just because the risk is high that it could happen. More severe slips may require more extensive surgical procedures to realign the hip and protect the blood vessels before the pinning is performed.
After surgery, patients are usually allowed to walk with crutches, only putting some of their weight on the affected leg. Patients who have both hips treated may need to use a wheelchair for the first couple of weeks after surgery.
After Surgery
Most teens whose SCFE is caught and treated early do well. Patients often get physical therapy after surgery to strengthen the hip and leg muscles. Doctors will continue to order follow-up X-rays to monitor the condition. But in most mild cases, further surgery is not needed.
Teens with unstable SCFE, however, do have a greater chance of developing other problems, such as stiff hips, early arthritis, leg length differences, or avascular necrosis (where part of the "ball" dies from lack of blood supply). They're also more likely to require additional surgery to realign the hips as they grow.
Not everyone can prevent SCFE. But one thing you can do to lessen your risk is to keep your weight in a healthy range. Maintaining a healthy weight can go a long way in sparing your bones and joints from the excess wear and tear that can weaken and damage them. So if you need help figuring out how to start on a safe diet and exercise plan, talk to your doctor.

Excerpt from Craig Hill's Blog "Backwards Theology (http://www.familyfoundations.com/
Romans 8:28 says this, "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."
Seems like a very simple, straight-forward scripture, right? And the interpretation is obvious too; no matter what happens to you it is all part of a master plan that is working good for God's purpose in your life.
Craig Hill calls that "backwards theology (https://www.familyfoundations-
Many believers, after experiencing a destructive event or destructive circumstance in their lives, like sickness, financial devastation, or broken relationships, will then attempt to find the good in it. Once they determine the good that has come from the situation, they use that to explain why God either caused or allowed it to happen.
What they are really doing is attributing to God the work of the devil. The devil is the one who comes to steal, kill, and destroy, not God. He is not God's agent; he is the enemy of God who is perpetrating evil works against all humanity, including you. God is indeed the master of all circumstances, but He is certainly not the author of all circumstances.
Jesus, on the other hand, came that we would have life and have it more abundantly. Jesus gave us His authority and power to overcome the devil and all his evil works.
So, what is it that is working together for good? It's God's power, His wisdom, His knowledge and His unconditional love for us. They are all working for us so we can defeat the works of the devil. All we have to do is learn to cooperate with Him.
You can read more about this in Craig's book, If God Is In Control, Then Why?

Man accused of assault, restraint
WATERFORD Vermont State Police say a Waterford man sexually assaulted a woman at his residence and then refused to let her leave while he was holding a gun Monday afternoon.
Steven C. Cross, 25, assaulted the 20-year-old woman, whose name has not been released, when she came over to pick up clothes, according to state police.
State police say the woman did eventually leave and called state police who arrived and found Cross holding a .50-caliber muzzle loader with the primer in place and safety off.
State police say Cross was eventually arrested and cited for aggravated sexual assault and first-degree unlawful restraint.
He was scheduled to appear in Caledonia County criminal court Tuesday to answer the charges.MORE IN This Just InMORRISVILLE Overtime magic from Chloe Schiff and Maralina Moore gave the Solons a huge...

After Heart Attack, New Threat: Heart Failure
Posted 24 May 2016 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, May 24, 2016 – Risk of heart failure appears high within a few years of a first heart attack, a new study finds. "Heart failure is a major medical problem with a high chance of hospitalization and death," said study author Dr. Johannes Gho, a cardiology resident at the University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands. Heart failure means the heart can't pump blood efficiently enough to meet the body's demands. Improved heart attack treatment has led to higher survival rates, leaving more patients susceptible to later heart failure, Gho said in a European Society of Cardiology news release. For the study, researchers analyzed data from nearly 25,000 people in the United Kingdom who suffered a first heart attack. Nearly 25 percent of these patients developed heart failure within four years, the investigators found. Certain risk factors increased the risk of heart failure ... Read more

Statins Might Protect People With Narrowed Leg Arteries
Posted 7 May 2016 by Drugs.com
FRIDAY, May 6, 2016 – Cholesterol-lowering statins may spare people with narrowed leg arteries from the possibility of amputation and even death, a new study suggests. The higher the dose of these drugs, the lower the risk of both outcomes, the researchers found. "PAD, a narrowing of the peripheral arteries to the legs, stomach, arms and head, is the next cardiovascular epidemic," said study author Dr. Shipra Arya. She is an assistant professor in the division of vascular surgery at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta. For the study, the researchers analyzed health information on more than 200,000 veterans with peripheral artery disease (PAD) from the Veterans Affairs' database. They identified those who were taking statins around the time they were diagnosed with PAD. The researchers also recorded the veterans' dosage of these drugs. During an average follow-up period of ... Read more

Restoring Blood Flow Beats Exercise for Poor Leg Circulation
Posted 5 May 2016 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, May 5, 2016 – For people with poor circulation in their leg arteries, a medical procedure to restore blood flow may have greater benefits than exercise, preliminary research suggests. People with peripheral artery disease (PAD) experience pain and fatigue while walking. These symptoms develop because poor circulation in the arteries that supply blood to the limbs causes damage and scarring in the muscles, the researchers explained. There is currently no way to reverse the scarring associated with PAD. But a procedure to reopen or bypass blockages in the blood vessels and restore blood flow to the limbs – also known as revascularization – prevents it from getting worse, the researchers said. For the study, the researchers analyzed levels of a protein, called TGF-Beta1, that triggers scarring in patients with severe PAD. The investigators also measured levels of collagen, ... Read more

Poor Leg Circulation Hits Women With Kidney Disease Earlier Than Men
Posted 23 Feb 2016 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Feb. 23, 2016 – Compared to men, women under the age of 70 who have kidney disease are at higher odds for peripheral arterial disease (PAD), an often disabling impairment of blood flow in the legs. That's the finding from a new study of almost 3,200 people with chronic kidney disease. Researchers led by Dr. Grace Wang, of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, found that women under 70 with kidney disease had a 53 percent higher risk of PAD compared to their male peers. However, after age 70 the difference between the sexes evened out, the researchers noted. Why would PAD affect women earlier? According to the study authors, "females are known to have smaller diameter vessels compared to men." That could mean that, given similar amounts of plaque buildup in vessels, women's might close off earlier than men's. The findings show that women with kidney ... Read more

Whistle … and Walk … While You Work
Posted 8 Oct 2015 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, Oct. 8, 2015 – If you have to sit almost all day while you work, take a short walk whenever you can. Why? Researchers report that even a 10-minute stroll can restore blood flow to legs affected by prolonged sitting. "Although the size of our sample was small, the effects and results we found were still profound," said study first author Robert Restaino, a doctoral student at the University of Missouri, in Columbia, Mo. The findings were published recently in the journal Experimental Physiology. "The obvious take-home is that uninterrupted sitting and inactivity leads to microvascular dysfunction, and therefore is unhealthy," said Dr. William Gray, director of endovascular services at New York-Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia University Medical Center, in New York City. Gray noted that sitting for a long time has previously been linked to heart disease. Restaino said the goal of ... Read more

Medical Costs Soar for Smokers Who Develop Artery Disease
Posted 28 Sep 2015 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Sept. 28, 2015 – Smoking significantly increases medical costs among people with peripheral artery disease (PAD), a new study suggests. PAD is a condition in which a buildup of plaque in the arteries restricts blood flow to the legs and feet. Researchers analyzed 2011 health insurance claims data from more than 22,000 PAD patients in Minnesota, and found that annual per-patient health care costs were $18,000 higher among smokers than among nonsmokers. The hospitalization rate was 49 percent among smokers, 35 percent higher than among nonsmokers, the findings showed. Smokers were more likely to be hospitalized for leg problems, heart attack and heart disease than nonsmokers, the University of Minnesota Medical School researchers found. Sue Duval, an associate professor of cardiology and biostatistics, led the project. The study was published online Sept. 28 in the Journal of the ... Read more

1 in 6 Americans Too Far From Lifesaving Heart Centers
Posted 13 Jul 2015 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, July 13, 2015 – Tens of millions of rural, poor and Hispanic Americans do not have timely access to a lifesaving heart procedure, a new study finds. Researchers analyzed the driving times for 306 million people to reach the closest angioplasty centers across the continental United States. Angioplasty is used to open blocked heart arteries. A catheter is used to insert a deflated balloon into the artery. The balloon is then inflated to open the artery and restore blood flow to the heart. There are more than 1,700 angioplasty centers in the United States, the researchers said. The median time to an angioplasty center was 33 minutes, they found. However, the median travel time for more than 16 percent of the population – about 50 million people – was 81 minutes, according to the study. Results were published July 13 in the journal Health Services Research. It shouldn't take ... Read more

At-Home Walks Help Those With Clogged Leg Arteries Stay Mobile
Posted 20 May 2015 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, May 20, 2015 – Support groups that encourage walking exercises at home can improve the mobility of people with clogged leg arteries, a new study finds. Clogged leg arteries – called peripheral artery disease – can cause pain and fatigue while walking. This often limits mobility, which is crucial for independent living, doing daily tasks and socializing, the study authors explained. "Patients should understand that home-based exercise can help prevent mobility loss, and health care providers should recognize that this kind of exercise can be beneficial for their patients with peripheral artery disease," said study lead author Dr. Mary McDermott, a professor at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago. Research has shown that supervised treadmill workouts improve walking ability among people with peripheral artery disease, but most insurers don't pay ... Read more

Strengthening Hip Muscles May Ease Calf Pain From Blood Vessel Disease
Posted 7 May 2015 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, May 7, 2015 – Exercises to strengthen the hips may ease calf pain for people with peripheral artery disease (PAD), a new study suggests. The disease causes the arteries in the legs and other parts of the body to narrow, restricting blood flow. This can lead to changes in skin color, sores, pain and trouble walking. Japanese researchers found that people with clogged leg arteries use their calf muscles more while walking since certain muscles in their hips are weaker. By strengthening their hip muscles, they may be able to walk longer without pain, the study showed. "PAD patients should ask for an expert, such as a physical therapist, to evaluate their gait and the strength of their hip flexors and other muscles. Based on the evaluation, a combination of muscle training and walking exercise may increase how far they can walk and reduce their calf pain during walking," study ... Read more

Leg Artery Procedure May Be Overused in Nursing Homes, Study Finds
Posted 6 Apr 2015 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, April 6, 2015 – Surgery to reopen blocked arteries in the legs of frail nursing home residents rarely gets them back on their feet, a new study shows. In fact, many elderly people who undergo the expensive procedure either lose more physical function or die within a year of the surgery, according to a review of Medicare claims data by researchers from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). However, that doesn't prove the surgery is unnecessary in all or even many cases, said senior study author Dr. Emily Finlayson, director of the UCSF Center for Surgery in Older Adults. Blocked blood vessels in a leg can cause extreme and chronic pain, or promote infections or gangrene that can lead to amputation. "This operation can actually make those symptoms better," Finlayson explained. "Even if that patient only has six to eight months to live, this may be an appropriate ... Read more

Imaging Tests May Help Stem Amputations for Circulatory Disorder
Posted 4 Feb 2015 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 4, 2015 – Patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) who face amputation of a foot or leg can have their limb saved by minimally invasive surgery to improve blood flow, a new study suggests. Among the patients tested and treated in a limb salvage program, amputation rates dropped nearly 80 percent, according to Dr. Julio Sanguily, a vascular surgeon with Martin Health System in Stuart, Fla., who led the study. "A multidisciplinary approach that includes vascular surgeons, with support from podiatry, infectious disease specialists and wound care, can significantly reduce the number of amputations," Sanguily said. The results of his trial were presented Tuesday at the International Symposium on Endovascular Therapy meeting in Hollywood, Fla. Research presented at medical meetings is considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal. According to ... Read more

Drug-Coated Balloon Catheter Approved
Posted 13 Oct 2014 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Oct. 13, 2014 – The first drug-coated balloon catheter designed to clear narrowed or blocked arteries in the thigh and knee has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The Lutonix 035 Drug Coated Balloon Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty Catheter has a balloon coated with the drug paclitaxel, which may help prevent re-narrowing of the affected artery after the clearing procedure, the FDA said. The device is approved to clear vessels clogged by Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), which causes hardening and narrowing of the arteries and limits distribution of oxygen-rich blood. Symptoms may include leg pain, skin ulcers or gangrene. The device was evaluated in clinical studies involving more than 500 people. In one study after six months, about 72 percent of those treated with the Lutonix device did not require additional treatment for PAD, compared to nearly ... Read more

Poor More Prone to Leg Circulation Trouble
Posted 14 Jul 2014 by Drugs.com
FRIDAY, July 11, 2014 – People with the lowest incomes may have a higher risk for a circulatory condition called peripheral artery disease (PAD), a new study suggests. People with PAD have narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the limbs, most often the legs. The condition causes leg pain and is often an indicator of narrowing of the arteries throughout the body. People with PAD have a higher risk for heart disease and stroke. Researchers analyzed data from nearly 6,800 people with PAD who took part in the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1999 to 2004. They found that those with low incomes were significantly more likely to have the disease. People with the lowest income levels were more than twice as likely to have PAD as those with the highest income and education levels, according to the study published online recently in the journal Circulation: ...

Could Dark Chocolate Help Ease Poor Leg Circulation?
Posted 3 Jul 2014 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, July 2, 2014 – The antioxidants contained in dark chocolate might help people suffering from reduced blood flow to their legs, researchers from Italy report. In a small study, people with artery problems in their legs walked a little longer and farther right after eating a bar of dark chocolate, the researchers said. Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants called polyphenols. The researchers believe polyphenols improve blood flow to the legs by affecting biochemicals that prompt arteries to widen. "Our body secretes chemicals that naturally dilate blood vessels in response to certain stimuli, improving the blood flow to certain areas," said Dr. Richard Chazal, vice president of the American College of Cardiology. "Some of the chemicals inside dark chocolate could affect the way these enzymes are metabolized in the body," suggested Chazal, who was not involved with the study. ... Read more

Walking at Home Can Help Boost Poor Circulation in Legs, Study Shows
Posted 25 May 2014 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, May 21, 2014 – A home-based walking program benefits people with poor blood circulation in their legs, a new study finds. The study included patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD), a narrowing of the arteries that can cause leg pain and hinder walking ability. Previous research found that supervised exercise programs can improve walking and reduce the symptoms of PAD, but this study is the first to examine the effects of a home-based workout regimen. There were 81 patients who took part in a program that trained and encouraged them to walk at home, and a control group of 87 patients who received only general health information. The participants in the home walking program were told to try to walk at least five days a week, building up to 50 minutes a day. If they experienced leg pain, they were to rest until their legs were comfortable again and then resume walking. ... Read more
