#1 SC woman set on fire by son, who is later shot by brother, police say01-01-2013, 09:55 PM
PIEDMONT, S.C. -- An Anderson County woman is being treated for severe burns to her body, after she told deputies her son set her on fire.
Deputies received a 911 call around 8 am Tuesday, according to an on-duty captain with the Anderson Sheriff's Office. The victim, 61 year old Debra Davis, ran to a neighbor's house on Crawford Street in Piedmont for help and the neighbor called 911, according to investigators.
Davis was rushed to Greenville Memorial Hospital with 2nd and 3rd degree burns to at least 40% of her body. She is now being transferred to the Augusta Burn Center.
According to investigators in Greenville County, the suspect then went to a home on Langston Street in Greenville.
Deputies say the suspect from the burning incident approached his brother and began an argument. Deputies say the brother shot at the suspect, and hit him.

I have a canister of brewers yeast that I paid a lot less for. My cat and dog get that stuff sprinkled on their food. When I open this container the cat nearly knocks me down rubbing on my legs trying to convince me that she needs this too! I put a teaspoon of the cheap stuff and a teaspoon of this "NOW" brand on a plate. She sniffed both and proceeded to chase the paper plate around the kitchen licking every atom up before she would even look at or tasted the cheaper stuff! She and I agree; This is the best!
I have had a skin problem for years, and then I read that this is often caused to insufficient vitamin B. Then I found out that this product is one of the best natural sources of Vitamin B, that is very easily and completely absorbed and utilized by your body.I mainly sprinkle it on salads or put it on pasta or some meals, and it does add a sort of cheesy/nutty flavor. I have REALLY noticed a lot of improvement in my skin condition and recovery from scratches or redness. Can help scalp issues like dandruff or seborrhea dermatitis. Highly recommended for smooth well-balanced skin complexion!
Best value and taste good

The Phillies reportedly agreed to a deal with utility infielder Juan Castro, pending a physical. The deal is for one year with a club option for 2011. The deal might not be officially announced until next week.
Castro will fill Eric Bruntlett's spot on the roster. The 37-year old batted .277 in 112 at-bats with the Los Angeles Dodgers last season. Castro was given a minor league contract worth $700,000 in 2009. If the deal is official, it is unlikely to exceed that price.
88 Comments
Wow Bruntlett better look out. There is competetion now.
Um, Bruntlett was taken off the 40-man roster, hes gone.
kind of got that eh… feeling about this one, but I guess it will give them some options. He seems to be an improvement over the beard at least.
I think this would close the book on Derosa since I can't see the Phils taking a chance on him full time at third.
Well, good. Thats one need met.
True, glad a need has been met on the cheap. Wonder if he's at least good enough for Charlie to use once a week to spell Chase or JRoll.
I meant that last comment in terms of being good enough to convince Charlie to actually use him, and feel comfortable doing so, instead of letting the bench rot except for PH like last year.
He hit .277 last year in that role…so thatll get him two starts a week (one for chase, one of jroll).
it shoudl at least, should…
Castro is a lifetime .233 hitter with little power. He is probably an improvement over Bruntlett, but not a significant one. He has a lot (14 years) of experience as a utility player. I trust Ruben Jr.
Castro can also play 3rd base. He played 8 games there last year.
Yeah, plus. He is the 24th or 25th man on the roster. So, liek Don always says, what more do you want for a guy making not much more than the minumum.
TOMAS PEREZ WHERE ARE YOU ?????? Tomas has a higher lifetime batting average than Juan Castro, more power and is younger. Maybe we could get him for an even cheaper price. ANd, oh yeah, he did not play in the majors last year. Plus Tomas is a switch hitter and mastered the "Pie-in-the-Face" routine.
Yeah guess this would mean no Derosa unless he's playing third full time, but It could be good if the Phils are saving that money to make a run at Beltre for third and maybe some top free agent arms.
One year deal with a club option for a second.
Can't hit, doesn't walk, doesn't steal, strikes out a lot… sounds a lot like bruntlett, except he could at least steal a base or two
Bruntlett 2.0
I like it.
Bruntlett gone? I am canceling my season tickets.
Hopefully, Chan Ho Park will re-sign, so we'll at least have one beard on the team.
Wow David Bell better look out. There is competition now.
Dude, what the fu*k! Our first signing this season is JUAN CASTRO? Hes a bum! I would have loved to have kept Bruntlett over this piece of shit. With all of the upgrading that were trying to do to this club, why worry about replacing Bruntlett now? Couldn't that have came last, when all the "shitty picks" were left in free agency? I mean, cause he is a shitty pick.
HE IS THE 25th MAN ON THE ROSTER, HE WILL NOT MAKE MUCH IN BASEBALL TERMS, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM THAT? Its a need, they addressed it, fine. Good. It was always going to be a guy on the cheap.
Castro should have been given an invite to spring training not a guaranteed contract as the first free agent signing of the season.
There are many better (and possibly cheaper) options available so why Castro and why now?
Lucky I couldn't agree anymore with you. I too would have rather just kept Bruntlett than sign Castro
Better, but not cheaper. Ill bet they really got this guy cheap. I am FINE with this signing. DeRosa is going to get paid as a starter, that was always the case. If the Phils sign him it will be to start.
Bruntlett was awful. He lost the confiedence of his manager and fellow players Bye, bye. I think the Phils could've done better than Castro, but he's a well liked player and a decent fielder. Hopefully the $$$$ is being used to sign a top reliefer, 3b and possibly a starter.
I wouldve like Uribe but Uribe might want more PT than we could give him.
If they wanted to stay competitive, and upgrade over bruntlett they should have signed Garciaparra
This from Baseball Prospectus' Joe Sheehan: "at his peak Castro was a good enough defensive SS to be a credible starter despite his limp bat. Now, he should not longer even be on a roster."
This from Baseball Prospectus' Joe Sheehan: "at his peak Castro was a good enough defensive SS to be a credible starter despite his limp bat. Now, he should no longer even be on a roster."
Woops, sorry for the double post.
Jeez. ITS A FREAKING BENCH UTILITY PLAYER! What is wrong with you people! Who cares? If he sucks, you can get another one during the season. Hes better than Bruntlett and Cairo. Hes cheap, and it saves money to be used on OTHER pieces.
Juan Castro?? Seriously, though. I hope this signing isn't based solely on his performance off the bench in L.A. He played on a team that hit pitchers so hard that by the time he would get a chance off the bench, teams were using their mop-up pitchers that struggled themselves. Yeah, that seems like a good reason to sign someone. Lifetime .233 hitter — one year of .277 off the bench, limited usage on a team of L.A. caliper… Just doesn't worth the risk, especially at his age. No offense to Juan, maybe — hopefully– it will work out. But, if we're really looking at going deep into October again next year, we need younger with more talent, someone who can produce more effectively, and more consistently. I pray that Amaro has something HUGE planned to counteract this and make it seem okay. I'm just not sold on Castro to be the Godsend-backup up the middle. There has to be better options….
Phils weren't going to spend more than a million on a bench player when they have other more pressing needs. I'll reserve judgement when the final off-season acquisitions are completed. Seriously though, they better have gotten him for cheap because Omar Vizquel is superior, IMO. Viz cost $1.375.
The problem with this signing is that it is a guaranteed contract. If the Phils cut him in spring training they still have to pay him.
If the Phils brought him to spring training as an invitee and then he earned a roster spot, then fine. But why guarantee him a contract?
Who cares if hes a utilty guy?? Are you serious? Listen to yourself. Its not the fact that he's a utilty player, its the fact that this is THE FIRST SIGNING of the 2010 season, and the choice was horrible as Bruntlett himself. This is almost like going deep sea fishing, expecting a nice size fish, and reeling in a fish stick. Im sorry but this just caught me off guard. Juan Castro would still have been available long after we addressed our "priorities" first.
Griffin, Dodgers would've resigned him well before spring training. They were in negotiations with him as well.
This news is completely underwhelming.
The Dipsy
Anyone else here thing Omar Vizquel would've been a superior signing?
Who cares if he was the first or last signing of the season? He is a utility player, that is all. Bench players in baseball are not like bench players in basketball where your 6th guy could probably be a starter on a lot of teams. And for the record, we already have that in Ben Francisco. Castro is a versatile fielder who can play 3 positions, can play sufficient defense and pinch run. And to be annoyed that they didn't just break the bank to sign a bench player is crazy. In case you haven't noticed, no one worth a darn has signed yet. There is a reason for that, good players want to wait it out and see how much they can get. That's the nature of the business.
Why did we sign Castro "so early"? Cause the Dodgers wanted him, too
Ed R. Do you like Castro more than Vizquel or is Viz too expensive for 1.375?
Some of you guys are the typical negative fans here, like they have no clue what theyre doing.
And, you dont know anything about baseball then if youre all upset that hes the first signing. Usually a few of these lesser guys sign independently before the big boys sign. Who cares when he signs? In what order? Its the offseason! Its not like theyre losing games right now because they signed this guy, they havent even got going in reloading this team.
Personally I like Vizquel more but I don't think any bench player is worth 1.375 mil. But that is me personally. For how often a bench player is used, I'd prefer the extra coin go to a pitcher.
Does anyone understand this? Honestly, Beardo at least has the triple play on his side……I am lost, this is not power of the bench that I can see.
Were not typical neggative fans…Like Karen said, were lost & confused about the news.
Who cares if the Dodgers were close to signing him, they should have.
I'd like to point out that Vizquel signed with someone else for 1.385 million. That means the Phils would have had to pay even MORE to get him. Castro is old, but remember, Vizquel is even older!
The remark about Castro's performance being helped by the Dodger's lineup is completely irrelevent. If this were a real argument, Bruntlett should have hit better after Howard, Utley, Ibanez, Werth, etc. had destroyed the other team's bullpen.
The team needed a versatile player, and Bruntlett was no longer up to snuff, if he ever had been. It was time to try someone else. Sure, if they'd waited, they might have ended up with someone better. They also may have paid more for an injury prone veteran like Garciaparra, who really can't play SS very well anymore. Or they may have ended up with someone worse for the same money as Castro.
Remember, too, how little people griped in 2008, when Bruntlett hit a lusty .217. Castro's a sub, for crying out loud. You don't break the bank for a sub. Give the front office a break.
Here is the lowdown on Juan Castro…..And it will show the brilliance of Ruben Amaro, Jr. Juan Castro is related to the Castros who run Cuba. Soon, all types of prospects from Cuba will be allowed to play in the USA. Juan Castro will influence the Cuban leadership to get the best players signed with Philly, just like Florida gets the best Puerto Rican and Dominican prospects. This has to be the ONLY reason why we are wasting our time on Juan Castro. I can think of no other reason.
He is Miguel Cairo's replacement. He signed a MINOR-LEAGUE deal.
psujoe i agree i wanted vizquel as a backup option as well. i thought we already had castro's twin brothers in the system–ozuna and cairo. is castro a step ahead of those bums? hardly
i thought hairston jr would be at least considered for this job. guess i was wrong…
i wouldnt get too worked up over this people. there were some other guys i thought would have worked better as the utility guy…but if the dude does have a halfway decent season then he would be worth the cheap investment…
although come playoff time its gonna feel very familiar. 'phillies are down 5 to 4 here in the eighth inning…they gotta get somethin going here offensively…to lead off the inning we have a pinch-hitter…juan castro??'
sounds like a .230 career hitter and a hispanic version of bruntlett
Castro had a higher OBP last year than our leadoff hitter.
HOLD UP?! We didn't sign Babe Ruth to be our 24-25th man?!
Amaro is an IDIOT……fire him immediately for this joke of a roster he put together.
Its a one year deal with a club option for less than a million dollars. It specifically states he is to be Eric Bruntletts replacement. What is the major issue here? Why are you all upset that they signed someone to replace Bruntlett? Im happy they got it out of the way early.
Marco Scutaro and Mark DeRosa are NOT going to sign to be backups this early in free agency. They BOTH will likely be starters somewhere, or at least be on a team that can give them more PT as a back up (as in, one that has WORSE starters at those positions) than the Phillies could offer. Maybe Juan Uribe wanted more PT, and Vizquel wanted more $ obviously.
To complain about a move like this is kind of just – mentally ill almost.
I like this signing because its for really cheap. But I also think this guy has a really good agent. He got his client a nice, comfortable deal early on a good team with a chance to win a World Series again.
According to that article it's a one year deal with a club option for 2011 for about $750,00. He sounds like a character guy who is defensively oriented and can play ALL infield positions as well as OF, what's the problem here?
I like the move… as it stands, bench players are so moot on this team. We need character guys and money to keep our core in tact. Juan Castro is cheap and he's a good character guy. Would have loved to see RAJ spend the extra cash to get a super-utility like Derosa but that would mean that we would have less money available to re-sign our guys and less money for a slick 3B so in the end that would probably be a bad move.
I was thinking about something… we need a third basemen now and in the future. We don't have one on the farm… as much as I would love to see us make a run at Adrian Beltre, I'm not sure if we'll get him… I'm just not sure if Rube is ready to drop the kind of money that Scott Boras is going to be asking. So then I started thinking about other long-term candidates… guys that are either free agents or going to become free agents on bad teams. Jhonny Peralta's name jumped out at me… we have had some success dealing with Cleveland (see Lee, Cliff) and he's a free agent next year so they would be eager to get something for him. He's not a great defensive 3B but he's adequate with the bat and in the field…
Im thinking Polanco or DeRosa at 3rd now….Beltre may take took long to sign because of Boras.
And you know what>? Since I feel Polanco wont be offered Arbitration, Im OK with either of those two signings, then you get the ebst cheapo backup catcher you can find, and spend the rest of the money on pitching.
I would be very happy to see PP back in Philly, don't know much about DeRosa so I can't really be too objective, but I like PP ALOT, clutch hitter and good fielder.
Chuck, I don't know that guy you're talking about, but when you say "not a great defensive 3b", I start to twitch a little.
did you see the quote from castro's agent:
"[The Phillies] probably need a guy who can play shortstop if Jimmy Rollins needs a day off or he gets thrown out of a game or he needs a break at the end of a game," Suarez said.
i like how he tossed in that jroll might get tossed out of a few games. has he ever been tossed? i don't think i've seen it.
and then when we get the best cheap backup catcher we can find..
we'll all have to sit here and read people bitching that Paul Bako or whoever else "SUCKS" .. "HE'S TERRIBLE"… "WTF AMARO !??" ..etc..
but reality is, that you need to spend money on pitching..
I think he means like when Jimmy gets benched for a few days, which has happened before…
"Adequate" is not an upgrade, and Peralta would cost another player. With a mostly left-handed starting rotation, the Phils definitely need defense at third, because they'll be facing a lot of right-handed pull hitters. A good hitter would be nice, but a good fielder is more important.
Agreed. But, there are few cheapo guys on the FA list who arent all that bad. How bad would Schnieder be as a backup really? Barrett? Theyll play for cheap too probably in this market….
Bako wasnt bad for a bottom three roster spot guy….
If a guy like Bako, Castro, and Mayberry are your last three position players on the roster, thats really not so bad. I woudl PREFER an upgrade for the final outfield spot, but again, its a 5TH OUTFIELDER. He wont play much. They just need a better pinch hitter than Mayberry who is younger than Matt Stairs.
And yes, spend the rest of it (after 3B) on pitching.
Forget Figgins, and if Beltre wants too much money forget him too…
Polanco OR DeRosa, cheapo backup catcher, 5th OF (which we can really actually find internally during ST, not a real urgent need), then you go best reliver you can afford to sign really…then maybe a cheap reliever or two – even if its on minor league deals as ST fodder, then the best 4th or 5th Starter you can afford who is right handed.
I think we'll here the same "WTF Amaro?!!" when the Phils start to sign pitchers. For some fans, no one is good enough. There were plenty of gripes when the Phils got Lee and Francisco instead of Halladay, and there will be more when the Red Sox or Angels get him. Should the Phils sign Marquis, people will say they should have gone for Sheets. If they sign Sheets, it should have been Harden. Harden should have been Piniero, Piniero should have been Bedard.
I'd take Schnieder, but I'm not as keen on Barrett. But Geoff is right; there are a lot of options, and the catchers out there will either have to play for cheap or not play at all. Still, no matter what, we'll hear sarcastic remarks about calling Daulton back from retirement.
Schneider would be a great fit.. but wouldn't he cost at least like $2 Million?
Red Sox are interested in Kelvim Escobar (who was my pick for an under the radar guy that would be a GREAT fit here.. )
I've now come to realization that I am 100% fine with whatever decisions the Phillies make for their 3b spot
They've proven to me that they know what it takes, they know how much to value offense vs. defense vs. payroll … wants vs. needs. . etc.
I didn't think I would be a big fan of DeRosa, but honestly, he would look great in our lineup
I didn't think I would be a big fan of Polanco, but he's a sure-thing #2 hitter.. something this team really needs is consistency and a tough-out in the lineup
I really thought I would like Beltre defensively, and in the lineup … and while I don't think he'll command anything CRAZY $$$ .. he might be a little too expensive, or want too many years on his contract
so whatever they decide to do.. I'll be happy with. .
and give Thanks
"Here" should have been "Hear."
Schneider will turn 33 tomrw.. I thought he was like 36+ years old
he made $4.9 M the past two years..
He won't come all that cheap, but I would LOVE him as our backup catcher..
but I think a lot of other teams would too
2 million for Schnieder wouldn't break the bank. Backup catcher is a far more important position than utility infielder, especially when Ruiz has a history of neck issues. I'm sure the front office realizes that. If they have to, they'll pay more than they would for a bench bat or fifth outfielder.
Schnieder will have to settle for 2-2.5M I think…but I dont know Id pay a backup catcher that much…
Ruiz will get a raise too, and hes got that position locked in until they develop a kid a few more years down the line. They have prospects at catcher, but none of them are really closer than 2 years away.
I want to see what happens with Marson, Carrasco, Donald in cLEEvland this year..
I'll be keeping an eye on those guys for their entire careers
Yeah. didnt Carrasco bomb his debut? those three will likely be on the major league roster to start the season though.
Does Correia have any value as a #4 or #5? 4.18 era away. The Pads might not tender if the can't accomadatea deal.
I think on the Phillies hed be a 5 with a short leash…
yea.. he wasn't really ready to pitch in the Majors.. but they had nothing else, so they bumped him up
Correia does a nice job, I wouldn't mind having him on our team, but Im sure there will be LOTS of teams interested
AW Man, Carrasco first 5 starts:
Wow, I feel sorry for him actually. Thats terrible.
That right there is why you dont rush Drabek up this season. If hes dominating by the all star break, then maybe you bring him up for a few starts. Otherwise, you wait it out.
They had no business putting Carrasco in there and he got LIT UP. That can ruin a guy for good sometimes.
If the Pads are not going to tender Correia he becomes a FA, right? If so what would it take for Kouzmanoff and Correia? Just trying to think of alternatives to older 3b that cost big bucks.
I believe Polanco is the best guy for this team at 3B. You can move him to 2B to rest Utley and let Dobbs play 3rd making his bat more effective off the bench as well. Getting Castro doesn't negate the validity of picking up another versatile player like Polanco. Could do the same with DeRosa and I would not complain. But I agree with Don about Polanco- this lineup needs a tough out….a fundamentally sound, situational hitter who can move runners. As for that 5th starter role…anybody else notice the improvement in Kendrick at the end of last season?
I wouldn't trust Kyle Kendrick to get me, you, or anyone else OUT ..
He's not an effective pitcher for a team with World Series aspirations
Becuase hes going to be non tenedered so you can get him for cheaper instead of paying 4-5 million in arbitration for him…its the same reason NOBODY will trade for Garrett Atkins because NOBODY wants to pay him 7M+. Just wait two more weeks or so and youll get him for nothing…
Kendrick would be a long reliever on this team. Id be ok with that. Thats about it though.
Drabek has a different mental makeup than Carrasco… Carlos always struggled with changes in scenery. I'm not sure if it was the pressure or a confidence issue but it seemed to take him a little while to adapt at every level. He'll be an ok pitcher someday… they have to give him some time.
Speaking of 5th OF'ers… Mayberry is hitting again; .312 with 7 HR for Obregon. Taylor had a minor elbow strain early on but he's adapting and playing well, too. Another notable… Neil Sellers. I know that nobody is high on this kid but he's hitting .371 with 3 HR and hit .317 at AA Reading last season with 17 HR (he has never hit lower than .271 in any given season). Best of all, he plays 3B.
I saw Sellers play at Reading this year, that night he was hitting like crazy, but the guy who REALLY stood out was Freddy Galvis, who had just been brought up. He has that natural ability at SS, made a few awesome plays, it's really exciting to see young guys like that in their developing years. I didn't think I'd enjoy a minor league game as much as I did, but it helps that our farm teams actually have some real talent now.
Careful calling Sellers a "kid." I'm guessing that he will be 27 or 28 by next spring.
Talking about back up catchers, what about Pudge, would he cost a lot. That would be nice, he has played in big games and would be decent guy to spell Chooch once every two weeks or so. Not sure what his price tag would be, but I know he is out there looking for a team

Comments: Most comfortable shoe, period. Sadly, they wear out pretty quickly. After two pairs wore out, I switched
to a different brand. I'm going back to this shoe despite its short life. Nothing is as light or as easy to maneuver in as this shoe. I
have a big size 12 foot that is not wide. At first I thought the toe box was too roomy, but it works and is super comfortable. Love
this shoe, doesn't drag on the court and slow you down. Wish they weren't discontinuing it.
From: Paula, 4/13
Comments: I am a junior state/southern ranked player and I loved these shoes. They were absolutely perfect, but
there was a hole at the toe in a month.
From: Judy, 4/13
Comments: I just discovered this shoe this past spring through a friend. I just love it! I've had problems with
losing toenails from my foot moving inside my previous shoes during play, but not with this shoe. My foot stays snug and feels
great! I love the extra room in the front. At first wearing they were very comfortable and have stayed comfortable. I heard these
may be discontinued. That stresses me since I had hoped to buy these as my court shoe from here on. I play 4.0 singles/doubles
several times a week.
From: Sandra, 10/12
Comments: This shoe is very comfortable. Second time I wore them they felt great. They have very good lateral
support, but as other people said it does run a little wide in the forefoot. I am medium width and may have to wear 2 pair of
socks after they stretch a bit. The tongue helps keep your foot back in the heel though, because it is totally connected. You have
to push your foot into the shoe but once you are in it feels great.
From: Janet, 7/12
Comments: I would not recommend this shoe at all. I wore it out in a month. My foot moves a lot in them and I
broke my toe nail. This shoe doesn't give you a lot of support because it is very soft, but it is very light.
From: Anon, 6/12
Comments: I finally set aside enough money to purchase these shoes and they were definitely worth the wait. The
are more comfortable than just about any tennis shoe I can remember playing in a very long time. I had been wearing (and
desperately trying to wear out) a pair of Asics Gel Challenger 7's, which were simply horrible. The only thing I'd like to see is a
better selection of colors for this shoe, maybe a navy or royal blue, black, or red, and no pink!
From: CJ, 9/11
Comments: I love these shoes. I have a tendency for achilles tendinitis, but never
in these shoes. Too bad Nike doesn't come up with more color combinations.
From: Eva, 9/11
Comments: I love this shoe. It is flexible, gives good support & provides a lot of stability. It feels solid on your foot!
I had a pair of Asics and did not like them at all!
From: Cindy. 06/11
Comments: Having not worn Nike for many many years, this purchase is a pleasant surprise. Ankle support of the
shoe is very good. While the forefoot is still a bit roomy for my feet, which means potential blisters, I found that wearing double
socks solves a large part of the issue.
Cushioning and therefore comfort is quite good. Grip on hard courts is decent and allows me to glide nicely around shots.
Compared to the too grippy current season Adidas Adizero shoes, this is actually an improvement.
From: L. 5/11
Comments: My daughter plays junior tennis and these are her favorite shoe. She has worn them for about five
years. She plays tennis about 20 hours per week and tournaments often. Only one time has the soles only lasted four months over
the summer and she was doing about 40 hours of tennis a week. We have experience the yellowing after she had them for about 6
From: Cheryl, Mokena, IL USA, 3/11
Comments: I have worn this shoe for 6 years...back when they made them in different colors, and love it. Why is
Nike discontinuing them if they are listed as the "best seller?"
From: Robin, Silver Spring, MD, USA, 03/11
Comments: I don't know why Nike makes any other tennis shoe; they reached perfection with these. I have high
arches and a wide forefoot, and these shoes work great for me. They're comfortable right out of the box, but also very
supportive. I tend to turn my right ankle if I'm not careful with my footwork, but have NEVER done so in these shoes. WHY do
they only come in plain white??!! And WHY aren't they EVER on sale? Oh right, because everyone wears them, so none of the stores
need to put them on sale. I do agree with the reviewer who said they yellow quickly. I don't care as much about that as
performance, but should probably try cleaning my next pair regularly to see if it helps.
From: Heather, Sacramento, CA, USA, 12/10
Comments: These shoes are extremely comfortable, but very thin. Also I haven't seen anyone mention that the
color of the front "cage" yellows very badly!!! So ugly I couldn't wear them after the second time. Everyone else's seem to yellow
just as much as mine, I noticed at my club. Doesn't it bother anyone else but me?!! The front part is made of a rubbery plastic,
whereas the heel part is a bit harder, like faux leather. It's a shame because the shoe is overall very nice. The color
turning should not happen on a shoe of this price!
From: Anon, New Jersey. 10/10
Comments: I thought these shoes were just decent until I got an adidas pair, adidas Court adilibria Wh/Yellow,
which seemed great at first. The adidas pair turned out to be terrible; they hurt my feet and legs. I went back to the Nike pair and
have not had problems. However they were not as good as my pair of Asics Gel Challengers (the first model).
From: Alexandra, Hamilton, NY, USA, 09/10
Comments: The best shoes ever! My life would be so misery without them. I wish they are available in more color
From: Nina, Garden Grove, CA, USA. 07/10
Comments: I've been wearing this brand for few years. Very comfortable and no break in time needed. I just tried
the newer version at the same size. Too narrow for my toe area. I had to return it. Only wish this one have different color as
From: Huan, New York, NY, USA, 06/10
Comments: I love this shoe. It's really comfortable although when it starts to wear out it rubs the ankle a little bit. I
stuck with it for about a year until I got the blue and green Nikes. Love them both.
From: Charlotte, Annapolis, Maryland. 6/10
Comments: Love this shoe, fits like a glove, no need to break in. I recently tried the newer version and didn't like
them, the support in the arch wasn't as good and they weren't comfortable. I am a USTA player and club player.
From: Brigitte, San Angelo, TX USA. 4/10
Comments: Great shoe for support of feet and legs. Have not had them long but overall very satisfied with the
From: Leslie, Atlanta, GA, USA. 2/10
Comments: These are the most comfortable tennis shoes I have ever worn. I have long,
narrow feet. I was able to order these shoes in my normal size and have plenty of room
through the toe box area. I went from the heavy Adidas Barricade V to these lightweight
shoes that feel like running shoes. If you like to run for every ball on the court, then these are
the shoes to go with.
From: Holly, Orlando, Florida 01/10
Comments: I've been purchasing this shoes years and years for my kids. Only problem is sole
goes bad in one month. It'll be eaten by court very quickly. So you just have to keep buying it
every month.
From: Tamaki, Pembroke Pines, FL US 01/10
Comments: I have not purchased new tennis shoes for 3 years, I would try shoes on and
nothing felt comfortable. My tried and true Adidas have finally officially worn out...not a
bump left on the sole...they are slick and too dangerous to keep wearing. I went to a "tennis
store' and tried on at least 10 pair of shoes...these were the "least" uncomfortable so I
purchased them. Today I played tennis for the first time in a year, well my feet feel
wonderful..the shoes were light on the feet, no pressure points and overall very comfortable!!
From: Kate, Palm Desert, CA 12/09
Comments: I ordered these shoes for my daughter after reading all the great comments, but I really didn't expect to
keep them. She has an extremely difficult time finding comfortable shoes when trying them on in person. BUT she absolutely
loved these shoes from the moment she put them on! She has very long toes and a long, narrow foot and heel, and these fit her
perfectly! I'll definitely continue ordering them for her, as long as she's playing tennis!
From: Renee, Mount Juliet, TN, USA. 10/09
Comments: These shoes are very nice, comfortable and very light weight. This pair of shoes I've been using in my
practice and tournament. I wish Nike would make different colors.
From: Adrianne, Bergenfield, NJ, USA, 10/09
Comments: My daughter loves these shoes. They fit her narrow, flat feet very well. No break in time needed. I hope
Nike never stops making these shoes.
From: Catherine, Pittsburgh, PA, USA, 10/09
Comments: I DO NOT LIKE THESE SHOES AT ALL! I have NOT worn the shoes to play in because I am returning them
so I cannot say how they feel after I play. Although I wear a medium size shoe with a medium arch, there was too much room in
the toe area. There was no cushioning (or least I could not feel any) in the heal or bottom part of the shoe. I could immediately
feel a place where the shoe would be rubbing on top of my foot near my toes. The only thing I liked was the "snugness" of the
shoe because my Prince shoes stretched out after a while.
From: Debbie Williamson, Poplarville, MS, United States 10/09
Comments: These shoes kills my feet! The arch of my foot is aching by the time I am done playing. I train 2-3
hours a day, and these shoes have been some of the worst I have tried.
From: Tiffany, Tennessee 09/09
Comments: Lightweight and comfortable, but wore out the quickest of any
Nike tennis shoe I've ever tried. Breathe Free III was better for wear,
but unfortunately discontinued by Nike.
From: Kay, NJ, USA 07/09
Comments: I loved these shoes a couple of years ago when they had the cool pink and blue colors. I stopped
wearing them, but decided to try them again. It took about a week to break them in; the first couple days my feet and legs were
killing me. Once they got broken in they are nice. They are very breathable, so my feet don't get too hot and comfortable. I play
about 6 times a week, 3 hours a day and they have held up nicely so far. I would recommend them if you have time to break them
From: mo, colorado. 7/09
Comments: I loved these shoes when I first wore them then my feet started KILLING me! My toes went completely
numb. Too expensive to be disappointed.
From: Debi, North Caldwell, NJ, USA, 06/09
Comments: I LOVE this Nike tennis shoe! It is lightweight, feminine, and low to the ground, so you don't have to
worry about ankle problems. I have had about 10 pairs of this specific shoe. My only problem is the color! Nike needs to bring
back the pretty purple, pink, blue versions of this shoe from a couple years ago!!
From: Audrey, Georgia, USA. 2/09
Comments: I usually don't comment, but these shoes really are great. I have long toes, a
narrow foot, a narrow ankle, and require a wide toe box. These shoes are comfortable out of the box. I'm on my fifth or sixth
pair (lost count) and always keep a new pair in reserve in case Nike stops making them.
From: Julia, Lexington, KY. 2/09
Comments: I love this shoe! It is very lightweight and you don't have to break them in. I have never rolled my ankle
in this shoe. A great shoe overall. It does wear out a little too fast but you just can't beat the shoe for performance and comfort.
From: Julie, Atlanta, Georgia, USA. 2/09
Comments: This shoe fit comfortably from the moment I put it on. I wore it around the house and on the elliptical
machine for several hours before hitting the courts. I've played in it twice, playing two sets each time, and have not experienced
any negatives. It's lightweight and is very easy to move around the court without catching on the shoe edges. I hope Nike
continues to make this shoe, I think it'll be my tennis shoe of choice for a long time to come!
From: Pam, San Leandro, CA. 2/09
Comments: This is the most comfortable tennis shoe I have ever had!! I wish Nike made them in more color
combination's to match all of my outfits! Fits and feels like a sock! Great traction on the court. I used to roll my ankle all the time,
but not in these. I feel so in control with these shoes. Hopefully, Nike will keep making these!
From: Beryl, Slidell, LA, USA. 9/08
Comments: This is my 8th pair. I absolutely LOVE these shoes. You don't have to break them in, but they don't last
that long. I train 4 -5 hours a day and they last me 1 - 1.5 months. They also don't look that big. An overall good buy!
From: Tanya. 9/08
Comments: Yikes! I felt compelled to share a different review, after so many glowing ones. These shoes, although
lightweight, absolutely KILL my feet. My toes and insteps go to sleep each time I try and play in them. They seem roomy enough,
but obviously something is not right. Just don't seem to have good luck with Nike. I so wanted them to work, but definitely not
for me! Money down the drain!
From: Sandi, Dallas, TX, USA. 9/08
Comments: I love this shoe. I used to wear these K-Swiss shoes that weighed a TON. I didn't know any better - it's
what some guy sold me when I first started playing. I'd get these awful cramps in my instep. These shoes feel like I am playing on
air, and they fit my feet like a glove. They DO break down faster it seems - I thought I was crazy when at about 4 months, they felt
a bit less supportive. It's now about 5.5 months and I think it's time for a new pair but I don't care because it has been a
WONDERFUL 5.5 months. My shoe is no longer holding me back.
From: Erin, Seattle, WA. 7/08
Comments: I blew through these soles in 4 weeks playing 3-4 times weekly. I also developed shin splints and
returned to my Prince T-10s for now. Very disappointed with the lack of support and poor sole lifespan. On the plus side, they
are so lightweight and breathe well. I am very disappointed in Nike shoes lack of quality and do not plan to buy from them again-
what a pity.
From: Linda, Elkhart, IN, USA, 06/08
Comments: This is the best shoe ever! I recommend everybody to get them. They might wear out a little fast but I
think it's worth it! Get this shoe I have had another Nike and they weren't as good!
From: annie, texarkana, texas, usa. 6/08
Comments: I have flat feet and had a hard time finding shoes that I was comfortable in but this shoe is GREAT! I
wore them for the first time when playing in a tournament and forgot I had new shoes on. No break in is required.
From: April, Atlanta, GA. 6/08
Comments: I love these shoes. I loved my first pair so much that I wore a hole in them.
From: Jocel, Atlanta, GA, USA. 5/08
Comments: I just purchased these shoes. They felt great on my feet and compared to others, not as bulky. I've been
told Nike no longer honors the 6-month outsole guarantee, but this site is showing that they do. Will Nike honor this regardless of
where I purchased them or only from this site (similar site)? Thanks!
From: Campos, Chicago, IL

Comments: Love this shoe! But I go though the sole very easily, on third pair this year. Got first pair free from
Nike, but will still keep buying them I'd they only last me 5 months at a time.
From: Christina, Center Valley, PA, USA, 01/08
Comments: Every shoe I put on takes three to four wears for them to feel comfortable. A few girls I play with on a
weekly basis recommended these shoes to me. I put them on and about an hour later, one of the girls asked how they felt. I
completely forgot they were new shoes. They are great! I have worn them for about a month now, and they haven't hurt one bit. I
recommend these shoes to anyone.
From: Stephanie, Atlanta, GA. 1/08
Comments: I do not like Nike shoes for anything but tennis. These shoes are extremely comfortable. I actually have
a wide foot and a high arch, and they fit great with those "Sole Support" inserts. Highly recommend. The only negative is that I
think there should be one more hole for the laces to go through near the ankle.
From: Meredith, Denver, Colorado, USA. 12/07
Comments: The best shoe I've ever worn and I've had some nightmare shoes! I wanted to thank all of you ladies for
your reviews. After reading pages and pages of reviews for all different brands of tennis shoes on this site, I picked this one
because of all of your reviews. I ordered my normal half size larger as I do when purchasing Nike shoes, as they tend to run
narrow and a bit short. When they arrived, they were really roomy in the toe box and even the length was generous. I actually
needed my correct size and needed to send these back for a half size smaller but I couldn't stand to take them off my feet, they
felt so wonderful!
A half hour after putting them on out of the box, I went to a two-hour clinic. They needed no break in whatsoever. I noticed the increase and ease of my footwork and ease of side to side and up and back movement. I never once even came close to rolling over my ankle, either. And I move pretty hard. I could feel good contact with the court. There is no lag when pushing off the front foot. My feet are the quickest in these shoes.
I ordered a second pair in my actual size this time, instead of adding a half size because Nike tends to run narrow. These are still comfy in the toes box. Now with the proper size, I can stop hard and not slam my toes in to the end of the shoe. Because this shoes is built with the nice roomy toe box, for the first time I've been able to wear a cushioned sock if I choose to. I've never had the room before. Before these shoes, I'd feel fatigue in my feet and legs under an hour on the court. With these shoes I can play three plus hours.
From: Anon, 11/07
Comments: AWESOME for people with narrow, flat feet. They are comfortable and don't slip on your feet. The
tongue of the shoe is attached so you don't have to pull it up all the time. They last very long for players who play everyday.
From: Kaylie, Jacksonville, FL, USA, 10/07
Comments: I hated that the shoe tongue was sewn to the shoe. I have a high arch, and I couldn't even get my foot
in to check for fit. I loosened the laces and took out the innersole, and still couldn't get it on. I was very disappointed on what I
think is a manufacturing shortcut. Have women's sport shoes been made this way for long? I haven't bought a women's sport shoe
for some time because I have a long foot and need a wider toe box, and just bought men's shoes. I was looking forward to a
lighter weight, less bulky shoe, but alas that sewn in tongue.
From: Nancy, Davis, CA, USA, 09/07
Comments: Best looking tennis shoes by far! Have owned 4 pair! I have a very narrow heel and have found these
don't slip. Comfortable, fashionable, but wear out fairly quickly and I don't ever "wear out" any other kind of shoe. All in all,
thumbs up!
From: Margo, Jonesboro, AR, USA, 05/07
Comments: I have just received this shoe and wore it for the first time on Monday to play tennis. It was so
comfortable; did not need any breaking in. Felt like it was made for my foot. I need toe room and a wide forefoot and it has all
that. Fits like it was made for my foot. Wonderful shoe!
From: Barbara, Rogers, AR, USA, 03/07
Comments: I love this shoe! Of the Nike shoes I have worn, this is the most comfortable.
From: Karrie, St. Petersburg, FL, USA, 02/07
Comments: Love the shoe! Great support and rollover control, light and comfy. But, like most great things.. doesn't
last at all!
From: Maria, Boca Raton, FL, USA. 1/07
Comments: I really liked these shoes. I never got any blisters or ripped the skin on my feet. But, they do wear out
in about a month or so if you play a ton of tennis.
From: Alex, Des Moines, IA, USA, 01/07
Comments: This is my favorite tennis shoe. I have narrow feet and high arches and these fit really well. I am going
on my third pair now. My only complaint is that the soles wear out kind of quickly, but it may just be because I play a lot.
From: Ellen, Seattle, WA, USA, 11/06
Comments: After trying a lot of brands and styles, I found that that this shoe was the best of the best. Although
they wore out in about two months, they were so comfortable and I don't get any foot pain anymore. I am a club member, playing
about 4 days a week and a few tournament a months, so these shoes definitely held up to their ability! I fully recommend them!
From: Elizabeth, Pittsburgh, PA, USA. 11/06
Comments: Best tennis shoes on the planet! The tongue-less design is classic and one I hope Nike keeps. It's like
wearing a pair of socks that offer total support and confidence when going all out in a game. They're light, comfortable and
breathable - even in brutal 90+ degree temps and high humidity. Keep it up, Nike!
From: Mary, Plantation, FL, USA. 11/06
Comments: Well, I guess I am the only one who doesn't like this shoe. The first time I wore them they were a dream.
Light and cool, they are very attractive. The second time I wore them my plantar fasciitis flared up which I hadn't had a problem
with that in about 5 years. I continued to wear them because they are so expensive (and they match my uniform). Now I have a
terrible case of plantars that is keeping me off the courts.
From: Stacey, Tracy, CA, USA. 11/06
Comments: I absolutely LOVE this shoe. I have had no problems with them. Previously, I was using the vapors and I
went up a 1/2 size like they said, but my feet were still smashed in the tiny toe box. I felt like there wasn't enough room for my
big toe. I actually lost my left big toenail because of it. I am a loyal Nike buyer for both sneakers and sneakers, so I decided to try
another pair. These shoes however, have plenty of room for my toes. My toes aren't smashed at all. I can run full speed and
suddenly stop and my toes still don't jam into the front of the toe box. They are great for practice and great for play. I don't
really have a problem with my soles wearing out like some of the others and I play frequently in the summer and I am still on my
first pair. Bottom line.......... THESE SHOES ARE THE BEST SHOES I HAVE PLAYED TENNIS IN.
From: Ashley, Wilmington, DE, USA. 10/06
Comments: As a person with wide feet, it is difficult to find a pair of shoes that are not too tight across the wide
part of the foot. Especially in the Nike brand. These are not too tight at all. As a matter of fact they are very forgiving while at the
same time supportive. I will buy them again.
From: Michele, Lenexa, KS 08/06
Comments: After I wore these shoes my ankles hurt but I just had to strengthen the ankle muscles and now they
are 100 percent better. There is actually nothing wrong with this shoe. So comfortable and breathable for your foot. I never have
any problem with my feet and I can move quickly around the court, not to mention they're cute too. Lasts pretty long for me, I am
a club player who plays a couple tournaments a month. But remember; wear good, dry socks to avoid blisters.
From: Jane, Georgia 08/06
Comments: I play singles so when I reach for a ball my body is able to move forward because of the soft toe box.
No more big toenail pain. I have lost too many big toenails. Unbelievable quickness with this shoe. I called them my magic
shoes. Actually I think the shoes lasts as long as any other Nike shoe. I buy 3 pairs at a time cause Nike in the past has always
changed styles when you finally found a shoe that works.
From: Sheri, Rancho Santa Fe, Ca. USA 07/06
Comments: I have always been a hardcore Adidas fan but friends told me to get these shoes and
tried them out they are very comfortable and I love the uni-tongue fit. I just can't get enough of these shoes
durability. Excellent balance, traction and breathability I give these shoes a ten out of ten.
From: David, Bakersfield, CA 06/06
Comments: I LOVE this shoe. The most comfortable shoe I have ever played tennis in. The only
bad thing is the soul of the shoe wears out very fast. I play clay and hard court. The shoe lasted me a short time
before the area around my big toe on the sole wore out! But still, I will buy my third pair.
From: Margaret 05/06
Comments: This shoe is very cute and comfortable, but the outer sole does wear out pretty fast. My
bubble has popped and resulted in a squeaky left shoe. The warranty should replace it. But other than that an
awesome shoe!
From: Natasha, Fairfax, Virginia, USA 05/06
Comments: Perhaps this model improved. I have last year's model and it is heavy and hot. These
seem lighter, though. In these I blistered easily and at different points of my foot. It feels rather flat and
cumbersome. My mid-sole hurts and arches ache after about 1 1/2 hours tough play. They're also not easy to
clean. BUT they do give good side to side support, and fast stopping. I don't think they are meant for drills and
training. I am going to try a different brand.
From: Monica, Bridgewater NJ Somerset 05/06
Comments: I struggled to find tennis shoes but when I finally found this pair (in light blue -
awesome!), they are so
comfortable and so easy to break in. Like a pair of slippers.
From: Emmanuelle, Tulsa, OK, USA. 12/05
Comments: I LOVE these shoes. Usually I like switching up my shoes after I wear them out, but I
have been buying
these same shoes for 4 or 5 times. They are so comfortable, light weight, and they don't slow you down while
running. It also
takes no time to break them in. The only disappointment is that I heard Nike is only going to start making them
in all white.
Personally I don't like the all white, I like the colors! (Don't worry, there is a light blue color coming in March,
2006 - TW Staff).
From: Anon, 12/05
Comments: These are the most comfortable shoes I've worn in several years. Great job, Nike. They
fit very well in
the heel and do not slide up and down. I bought the white version as they will go with all of my outfits.
From: Bobbie, Pittsburgh, PA, USA. 12/05
Comments: Most comfortable shoe ever, use it during my cross training and my feet never hurt!
Love, love, love
From: Misty, Fortson, GA, USA. 11/05
Comments: I love that there is no tongue. It makes the shoe even more comfortable. I am on a high
school team and we do a lot of running and they are very light and feel great while running.
From: Molly Jo, Tonawanda, NY, USA 11/05
Comments:I absolutely love these shoes. I have been through three pairs,
which is a disappointment for such a
comfortable shoe, but with Nikes warranty you are
able to send them in and get a replacement within a certain period of time. Playing up to 4
hours a day is often hard on your feet,
but I have never had any aching or pains after a workout in these. The colors add excitement
and variety to the everyday same
old same old, white
and black tennis shoes. I would recommend these shoes 100%.
From: Mallory, Texas, USA. 10/05
Comments: I'm very sad, because I must say, that these are great and the most
comfortable shoes I've ever had,
but I broke my cartilago articularis of my toe (sorry, English is not my mother-tongue). These
shoes are too soft, and I don't
think protect the legs while playing tennis. Perhaps these shoes are OK for young people,
but I think seniors should be careful
(my age 53). Now, after 2 months I'm trying to start playing again, though my leg is still little
bit painful.
From: Riina, 10/05
Comments: Great shoe for fit of narrow feet and narrow heels. My daughter has
tried everything to fit, double AA
to Triple AAA foot, and this shoe produces the greatest fit. The outer soles do wear down,
but warranty helps. She's a
tournament player who wears them down in no more than 6 weeks, but we did get a
replacement pair from the warranty.
From: Sally, Boston MA, USA. 9/05
Comments: These shoes hurt my feet. I'm so disappointed because they are so
cute and match several Nike tennis
outfits. One of my teammates had the same experience with same shoe. Both ours are light
blue color if that means anything.
From: Cathy, Baton Rouge, LA, USA. 8/05
Comments: Great fit! Well cushioned and very glove-like. Still, roomy toe box. It
squeezes the heel so well and nicely (w/o hurting) that I can play all out w/o even tying them.
Bad colors. New white one is hot. Thanks Nike! I couldn't find a shoe that fit this well since
the Air Zoom Breathe Frees. I tried the Nike Thrive IIs, Prince NFS, Adidas Barricade III, and
Nike Vapor Speed S2s and I've never had a shoe his comfy!. I wear it for everything... Don't
listen to the critics, GREAT DURABILITY!
From: Emma, Detroit, MI, USA 06/05
Comments: I think Nike should come out with better colors, like all white or white
and black. These shoes are pretty and nice and stable and all, but the colors need to
change. NIKE! COME OUT WITH BETTER COLORS FOR WOMEN! PLEASE! Otherwise, I
love this shoe!
From: Krissy, NJ, USA
Comments: I love the style and colors of this shoe, it is slightly on the heavy side
but so comfortable. I am a high school tennis player and play almost every day. For that
purpose, the shoe is perfect, although I purchased these in silver and lavender.
From: Jamie, Nashville, TN, USA. 05/05
Comments: Great shoe. The most comfortable I have played in for months!
From: Tricia, Murray, KY, USA. 05/05
Comments: Most amazing shoe Nike has ever made. Light weight on your
feet and breathable.
From: Shanquwa, Harlem, NY, USA. 04/05
Comments: I absolutely agree with Marsha & Christine. It's an adorable shoe
with great performance. However, after four
weeks of intense play the outsole is completely worn through.
From: Val, Sherwood, OR, USA. 03/05
Comments: I agreed with Marsha from Melbourne's comment. The shoe fits
well and looks pretty, but lasted only three
months. I am a club player.
From: Christine, Seattle, WA. 03/05

Compassion President Dr. Wess Stafford often says that "latitude and longitude can determine whether you're wealthy or poor in this world." It's true. I was born here…so I have access to things that others only dream about.
That lesson hit me hard this week when my 11-month-old son, Morgan, got sick. His doctor tells us that it's a gastrointestinal virus that's going around. The worst part of it is diarrhea. Poor little guy, he's just so uncomfortable. So, we've been giving him plenty of fluids, trying to get him to take naps (though he's been extremely restless) and just loving on him…cuddling.
Then I remembered a statistic in our Health Quick Facts section of Compassion's website:
There are 1.5 million diarrhea-related deaths of children under the age of five in this world, every year.
1,500,000 children dying of what my little boy has right now.
My son is fortunate. We can afford to take him to the doctor. We have access to clean water and formulas that can help replenish the nutrients his body needs. And I am thankful to God for that. But I pray for those families who don't have the same. I pray for those who, because of latitude and longitude, have no access to clean water and formula…or can't afford to visit the doctor.
It's not really fair, is it? We were born here, so we thrive. They were born there, so they struggle to survive. But poverty has never played fair. And God told us what the great equalizer is: YOU and ME. He called for those of us who have to share with those who do not.
Today, I ask you to pray for children in poverty. I ask you to cross the lines of longitude and latitude and give to those who suffer due to something as silly as geography. Maybe it's through sponsoring a child. Or maybe it's giving to one of Compassion's funds designed to help those in need.
Whatever it is, find a way for your hope to cross the globe.

When yet another team sets off from the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Science for some remote location in Africa or Central America, its thoughts are on how to provide the superior standard of care, considered to be the routine at home, to women in drastically resource poor settings. Upon returning, what our teams often realize is that the tremendous expertise they develop in these countries is the very thing that makes them the experts in their own fields at home. Fistula repair is the perfect example of this.
"Obstetric fistula is a tremendous problem in sub-Saharan Africa," says Charles Ascher-Walsh MD, Assistant Professor, Director of Gynecology and Urogynecology, Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Science. "In many countries there is very little maternal health care and, as a result, maternal mortality rates top 1% in some of these countries. These rates are unfathomable in the United States." If a woman is lucky enough to survive childbirth, the rates of developing some type of post-partum fistula vary between 2 to 5 per thousand births. This equates to between 50,000 and 100,000 new cases of vesico-vaginal fistula in West Africa alone every year. These women, constantly drenched in their own urine, become social outcasts and live a life of physical and social misery. This problem, however, often has a surgical cure that can reinstitute these women into society.

Officials fear tightening of heating aid
WASHINGTON Some Vermont officials are worried that the temporary funding that reopened the federal government will leave low-income families in the state without enough help paying their heating bills this winter.
The stopgap funding measure passed Oct. 16, known as a continuing resolution, funds many federal departments and agencies through Jan. 15. Included is money for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, commonly referred to as LIHEAP.
The program distributed $3.47 billion across the country during the 2013 fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, with roughly $18.4 million directed to Vermont. But while the continuing resolution contains a level of nationwide funding similar to 2013s, this year Vermont expects to receive about $17 million, according to a spokesman for Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt.
The federal Office of Management and Budget has required the U.S. Health and Human Services Department to hold back a portion of this years total allocation for LIHEAP due to sequestration automatic, across-the-board spending cuts scheduled to take place in January, said Leahys press secretary, David Carle.
The uncertainty arising from the 3½-month length of the continuing resolution is another reason Vermonts projected LIHEAP funding is down from last year, he added. According to Carle, HHS could deliver further small allocations later in the year if sequestration is averted or other money is freed up.
Due to the delay caused by the partial federal government shutdown, HHS will not determine the precise LIHEAP allocations for Vermont and other states for another couple of weeks, according to Laura Goulding, a department spokeswoman.
People from many states are waiting for the funding, and the process of figuring out the allocation for each state is now a high priority for us, Goulding said.
Vermonts effort to assist low-income households with heating costs relies on federal money as well as direct state funding, which will provide an additional $6 million to $8.1 million.
That could make the total estimated level of home heating aid as low as $23 million, compared with about $28.1 million the previous year, according to Richard Moffi, chief of the Vermont Fuel Assistance Program.
According to the Vermont programs website, families with gross household incomes equal to or less than 185 percent of the federal poverty level are eligible to apply for fuel assistance. Each eligible household in Vermont should expect an average heating assistance of $717 this winter, compared with last years $898, Moffi said.
In Vermont, about 27,750 families received assistance paying their home heating bills last winter, a number representing about 90 percent of all that applied, according to Moffi. He said he expects the number of families receiving aid to go up this winter to between 28,300 and 28,400.
Moffi said funding for LIHEAP is never, quote-unquote, enough, since the program is set up to help recipients pay only a portion of their heating bills.
The number of families is going up, the (funding) is going down, and that adds to the pressure, Moffi said.
In Vermont, 84 percent of all households heat with oil, propane or kerosene.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration a division of the U.S. Energy Department expects the cost of oil to drop 5 percent from 2013 prices, when the figure had soared 28 percent since 2010. The agency also predicts that the winter will be 3 percent colder in the Northeast than the last one.
Were hoping its not going to be as cold as they say its going to be, Moffi said. But all I can do on those two fronts is to hope right now.

underrated thread.
Got in this debate on Facebook, just copied and pasted what I wrote.
KD gets calls at a asinine rate at home and it only changes by a few attempts on the road. You can't breath on that dude. Seriously as a defender the best way to make KD ineffective is to body up and be physical. But seeing as you can't touch the dude as a defender you're at a disadvantage. If Anthony holds on and wins the scoring title over Kevin Durant, along with our Knicks winning out with an 18 game win streak heading into postseason play (franchise record along with 8th all-time amongst the NBA) while our Knicks splash as the two seed... There is no question in my mind, that Anthony walks away with the NBA's 2012-2013 Most Valuable Player Award. Why? Because that's exactly what he's been. The leagues most valuable player as our team has overcame (multiple) team injuries. It's also not about "how you start" but instead how you finish. That's what writers and voters will go off of.
Anthony winning the scoring title while leading his team to 18 consecutive victories as a two seed despite multiple team injuries to our big men, and he's without question, the MVP of 2012-2013. During our 12 game win streak Carmelo Anthony has put up...
11 games along with an average of 36.3 minutes, 32.7 points, 8.2 rebounds, 7.09 free throw attempts, 1.6 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.5 blocks along with only 2.7 turnovers per game.
135/271 from the field which creates for a FG percentage of .498%. He's gone 24/58 from beyond the arc which creates for an outstanding 3PT percentage of .413% while also going 66/78 from the free throw line which creates for a free throw percentage of .846%. A combined 225/407 from the field which is good enough for a total shooting percentage .552%.
Lastly our Knicks only being 6-7 without Anthony (.462%) when compared 44-19 during games in which Melo has played (.698%) doesn't lie.
Knicks just walked into OKC without Camby, Wallace, Thomas, Stoudemire and Martin while Melo (once again) led the way as the most valuable player over Westbrook, Ibaka and Durant. That's the definition of most valuable and it's been like this throughout the entire course of the season.
Anthony: 15/29, 36 points, 12 boards (9 offensive), 1 block and 0 turnovers. Win.
K.Durant: 7/17, 27 points, 7 assists, 4 blocks, 3 assists, 3 boards and 4 turnovers. Loss.
The refs also gave Durant 13 points off 15 free throw attempts. Can't even breath on the guy on the perimeter while Melo had 0 FT attempts until the closing moments of the 4th while fighting hard down low during the entire game. Pathetic.
Why does KD always dissappoint in marquee matchups?
Everytime there is a huge game he seems to cower. Whats up? Lebron this year and last year, Melo last tonight, old man kobe last year. You look at his stat line all you see is meaningless point because free throws that are handed to him because he is weak. Dude needs to man up and grow mentally. Arent you supposed come back stronger after losing in the finals? Guess we'll see in the playoffs. All we know the torch from mj to kobe to lebron might skip him.
Russell Westbrick out preformed KD last night. 37/11/8.
1-11 vs Melo
2-9 vs Lebron
7-14 vs Kobe
You have to be shocked by how many FTs Durant gets. It's most insane when he plays against other superstar teams and you just see the discrepancy in how the game is called. just kind of shocking, it really inflates his efficiency numbers.
Kevin Durant, a tiger with the mentality of a cat. Russell Westbrook is the alpha male on the team and takes charge of the offense. Durant only shoots a high percentage because he defers to Westbrook. If Durant grew a pair of nuts and took more volume shots, he'll be shooting 46-47% in the Kobe and Melo range.
Melo owns his soul.
Stats from their matchups since 2010:
Melo: 36.8mpg, 31.2ppg, 8.6rpg (3orb), 1.8apg, 2.2topg, 49.1fg%, 38.5 3pt%, 86ft%, 57.8TS
KD: 39.2mpg, 26.6ppg, 6.4rpg (.4orb), 3.2apg, 3.4topg, 40fg%, 25 3pt%, 90.3fg%, 56.7TS
Melo plays WAY above his average and KD plays WAY below his average. It's crazy.
Melo is closer to the LBJ / Durant elite than anyone wants to admit, mainly because Melo is not very likable.
underrated thread.
In my mind Melo > Durant. I've said as much before. Melo is a better defender, rebounder, post threat, ball carrier, and scorer. Durrant is a better passer and facilitator by a small margin, but over all Melo is the better player.
Keep in mind that Durant is much younger then Melo and his game should evolve as Melo's as and as time goes on he will surpass him (just as melo has surpassed kobe with the passing of time) But currently, Melo is the better over all player.
And is it just me or did Melo go HAM all year and actually add weight? Looking at the game yesterday Melo looked big and strong. A lot different then he looked when he first came to the knicks and a good many lbs heavier then when he joined the league as a corn rowed skinny kid. All of the non-knicks fans will tell you differently, that durrant is the better player, scorer, dunker, shooter but i disagree on almost all points. Yesterday was affirmation of that point. I think that Melo will earn a lot more respect from NBA fans in the playoffs and if he plays really well could bring NY it's first chip in nearly 40 years. Should he play at this caliber you will also see him get those calls you see durrant and LBJ get now, which will push his totals even higher....
I'm gonna goahead and put an exclemation point on this post:
Carmelo Anthony is the best player on the best knicks team ever assembled, making him the BEST player to ever put on a knicks jersey. He should be MVP this year. If he stays focused on WINNING and committed to greatness he could go down as one of the best players in basketball history. These playoffs will determine everything for Melo.
Damn those are some impressive head to head numbers between Melo and Durant....
Melo led teams are 11-1 against Durant led teams? HOLY SHEET that is something that can't be overlooked. I was just bumping the MVP thread to gage what others think Melo's shot is at the award this season myself. If we win out, will be hard to overlook him.....even when compared to LBJ and definitely should be ahead of Durant IMO. Durant has another MVP candidate in Westbrook to play with.....Melo has a solid team but no MVP type candidate that's for sure.
Durant isnt such strong as Melo on boards and drivin into paint with all defenders he is driving faster only when he see holes
he is a bit taller wider hands range better 3pt shooter already been in finals and stolen title from refs. Anyway OKC is younger team
but remember what says Pierce and Bryant Melo is the most difficult to cover.
Thread of a life time here. 5 *'s
That's a Keith Jackson:"whoa nelly" But I would rather hear that than the critics "shoulda kept Gallo" who is out for the season btw bs
I would have to agree, melo is in the elite class of ball players. He gets the rep of strictly scorer, however, people tend to forget he's a monster on the boards and his defense has been efficient and above average. Look at yesterday for example he had 14 boards 9 offensive! And that's against a tall team in the thunder that has great rebound guys. This season he's really matured as a leader and that was his one knock but I would say he's on that level of Bron wade Paul Durant as the elite guys in the league.

DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
Good thread. At this stage of the careers Melo is the better player. He's definitely the better scorer & has a number of ways to torch players on the inside or outside. KD is still young & will improve with time though.
These stats were taken from the Forbes article "Melo is the most overpaid player in the NBA". Not quite sure you can say Melo is better, he may be having a better year and I bet 25 out of 30 GMs choose KD over Melo if they could pick a player.
Durant gets his points taking four fewer shots per game than Anthony does (18 vs. 22). He shoots 50.5% from the floor to Anthony's 44%. Durant averages 4.4 assists per game compared to Anthony's 2.6, and 7.9 rebounds to Anthony's 6.4.
Metro .... u was wrong for makin this Post LMAO

u are absolutely right .. Melo & Durant are two different types of players.
Being a Knicks-Fans, and Carmel being a Knicks .. does not mean LIE for the sake of the Knicks.
its not that personal.
Durant is a better teammate than Melo (70/30)
Both Melo & Durant were drafted by deep bottom teams .. their career growth, and the team growth, put the two players in different worlds.
Durant actually built his team from ground-up with young teammates, and a fresh first season NBA headcoach.
Durant skills n talents advance each season along with the advancement of his team postseason appearance.
Melo was given young experience postseason star players to advance the growth of his team, somehow Melo's team consistently got swept in the first round.
D.Wade & Lebron James was put in the same circumstance as Durant & Melo coming into the NBA.
Somehow under their rookie contract Lebron / D.Wade / and Durant visit the NBA FINALS...

The phony bills actually were made on legal currency paper that had once been $5 bills.
Assistant Police Chief Kenneth Jefferson said investigators were able to determine that the ink on one of the original bills had been bleached out, and the bill had been reprinted using what was probably a computer-scanned image of a real $100 bill.
Sgt. Jason Alvarez said at the time the bill was recovered that shining a light through the paper revealed the indelible features (watermarks) manufactured into the legal currency paper.
A light revealed the number "5" and the face of President Abraham Lincoln inside the paper.
Lincoln's image is printed on a $5 bill. Benjamin Franklin's face is printed on the $100 bill.
Jefferson said a close inspection of one of the bills showed it had been bleached and washed. He said the fibers imbedded in legal currency paper were visible, but one could tell the color of the fibers had been bleached.
Jefferson said the paper also appears weak and faded.
Anyone who might have information that could lead to an arrest in the case is asked to contact Coastal Bend Crime Stoppers at 362-0206 or call toll-free at (877) 362-0206.
Computer users may contact the organization by emailing information to coastalbendcrimestoppers.com.
If the information leads to an arrest in the case, the witness who provides the information could receive a reward of up to $1,000.

WellnessThe Wellness Department at Sanford Hospital Luverne is interested in helping you feel your best by staying in top physical condition. Some activities offered by the Wellness Department include:
American Cancer Society Relay for Life Participation
Sanford Hospital Luverne is a corporate sponsor for the Rock County Relay for Life. Hospital staff teams annually participate in the event.
Sanford POWER
Sanford POWER is designed for male and female athletes in grades 9-11, or 15 years of age, who are serious about improving their power, speed, agility, and cardiovascular fitness. This seven-week camp consists of two weekly one-and-a-half hour sessions packed with intensive exercise protocols that include stretching, plyometrics, trunk strengthening, speed, and agility training drills. Our training camp, designed by a physical therapist, includes aspects of the expensive acceleration clinics. Be prepared to work hard at this camp. We emphasize that this is designed for the serious athlete. The class is limited to 45 students. Register for the class through Community Education.
Athletic Heart Screening
What is an Athletic Heart Screening?
An athletic heart screening is compromised of two diagnostic tests, the EKG and the cardiac ultrasound. Both noninvasive tests are completely painless. The screening takes approximately 20 minutes. Local cardiologists donate their time to interpret the results.
What are the two tests?
An EKG checks the heart's electrical activity, which produces the heartbeat and pulse. The EKG ensures that the heart rhythm and electrical activity are normal. An echocardiogram uses ultrasound to visualize the internal structures of the heart and the movement of its valves and walls.
Lipid Profile
A lipid profile, an analysis of total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides, is also performed at the screening. The lipid profile, EKG, and echocardiogram, are all evaluated to determine the condition of the individual's heart.
What happens if a problem is detected?
Approximately 3-4 weeks after the screening, athletes will receive a letter stating the results of their heart screening. In the event that an abnormality is detected, you will receive a letter asking you to contact your family physician. Your family physician will receive a letter detailing the results. A letter will be sent to your family physician for both normal and abnormal results.
Are tests proven to prevent "silent" cardiac disease?
The echocardiogram and EKG are not experimental. These tests are used routinely in cardiac evaluation. Their effectiveness in terms of diagnosing "silent" cardiac disease is currently being studied at many major medical facilities across the country.
Who can attend the screening?
Anyone in middle school, high school, or college, generally those 12-26 years of age, may attend. You may attend the screening even if you are not involved in any organized sport. Older adults and small children are precluded from taking the tests.
Buffalo Days Walk/Run
During Buffalo Days, Sanford Hospital Luverne sponsors the Fun Run/Walk. The Fitness Walk is open to walkers of all ages. Participants are welcome to walk with family and friends. Strollers may be pushed. Running is not allowed. The 1/2 Mile Run is open to individuals who are twelve years or younger. The 5K & 10K Runs are open to everyone.
Why should you participate?
Enjoy our beautiful city.
Promote walking and running.
Compare your abilities to other athletes.
Receive a T-shirt.
Participate in our community celebration.
Diabetes Education
The Diabetes Lifestyle Management Education Sessions are designed to assist individuals in learning how to deal with diabetes. Diabetes management requires education, decision making, and hands-on experience. More information can be found on the Diabetes Management (http://sanfordluverne.org/services/diabetesmgmt.php) (link to Diabetes Management webpage) page.
Fitness Challenges

Gun Vote
If anyone was searching for an act of courage on Wednesday, the chamber of the U.S. Senate was not the place to look.
There, a minority of senators again, bending to distortions of the National Rifle Association, voted against a common sense measure that could help keep guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill.
That measure – a rare bipartisan political accomplishment – was a last-ditch effort between Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., to pass some type of meaningful legislation that could have helped prevent more gun violence. It only would have required background checks for people who buy guns at gun shows and from Internet dealers.
The measure failed to get the 60 votes needed in the Senate to overcome a filibuster. Forty-one Republicans and five Democrats voted against the measure, despite pleas from relatives and friends of gun victims, including parents of the 20 slain elementary students in Newtown, Conn.
Manchin and Toomey – both of whom have received an A-rating from the NRA – said their proposal would not have prevented the Newtown slaying, but by closing this huge loophole in the law, it could have prevented future Newtowns. The compromise looked promising just a few days ago, but the NRA's frantic disinformation campaign paid off in the end. The day before the vote, Manchin said hopes for passage looked grim.
The NRA once again proved it is out of step with most Americans. Its immovable stance is sustained by members who take as gospel the group's tired refrain that any additional checks will lead to a federal gun registry and eventual gun confiscation. It also perpetuated the myth this new law would have prevented family members from transferring gun ownership to others in the family.
This measure expressly prohibited the keeping of a gun registry. It would not have kept anyone legally eligible to purchase a gun from purchasing a gun. It also would not have prevented a father from giving a gun to his son.
After the vote, Patricia Maisch, who was present two years ago when a gunman in Tucson, Ariz., killed six people and wounded 13 others, including former Rep. Gabrielle Gifford, rose from her seat in the Senate gallery and shouted, "Shame on you" to the senators.
Often attributed to the Chinese philosopher Confucius is this appropriate piece of advice:
"To know what is right and not to do it, is the worst cowardice."
That worst type of cowardice was on display Wednesday in the chamber of the U.S. Senate.
