Schoolchildren discover the world of Isaac Newton at the Tower of London - Wednesday, 7 April 2010
Schoolchildren have been given a unique insight into one of Britain's most famous and iconic scientific figures – Sir Isaac Newton – at a two-day workshop, run by the Royal Armouries' education team.
Newton – Master of the Royal Mint at the Tower of London from 1699 until his death in 1727 – was responsible for transforming the country's monetary system. He led the fight against the counterfeiters and "re-minted" England, replacing the fake coins that were in circulation.
The sessions for Key Stage Two and Three pupils on March 30 and 31 were held in the VisionWorks education space at the Tower, a state-of-the-art teaching area, sponsored by BayerMaterial Science. Youngsters attended from Bishop Perin CE Primary School and Waldegrave School for Girls in Richmond, Cypress Junior School, Croydon, and the Bridge Academy in Hackney, with the Royal Society subsidising their entry costs.
The Royal Armouries' Education Officer Amy Preece, said, "Isaac Newton is a popular and iconic scientific figure, even for our modern scientists. During the sessions, students have examined armour, discovered the science and history of metals, and developed their numeracy skills.
"They've also had a fascinating insight into Newton's impact while Master of the Mint, here at the Tower of London. He is an essential figure both at the Tower and history and science – and came 6th in the BBC's Top Ten Greatest Britons in 2002."
In 1703, Newton was elected president of the Royal Society, an office he held until his death. This workshop was part of the Capital Science programme of events that celebrate the Royal Society's 350th anniversary.
The Armouries has been running an innovative materials science education programme at the Tower of London for seven years and has won seven Sanford awards for its heritage education programme – the first awarded over 30 years ago.
As part of its unique partnership with Bayer MaterialScience, the Royal Armouries aims to boost the falling numbers of schoolchildren who choose to study science subjects by exciting curiosity about the subject. In turn, it is hoped this will tackle the falling numbers of young men and women who choose to study STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Education, Maths) at A Level, paving the way for science-based careers such as engineering.

Welcome to the Institute for Communications Engineering
At the Institute for Communications Engineering, our research and teaching are concerned with efficient, reliable, and secure communications. We rely on information theory to guide our thinking and designs for codes and algorithms. Our core competence is information processing for wireline and wireless communications, but we also apply our tools to interdisciplinary problems where information plays a role, for example communications in biology and physics.
The chair has two research groups:
- Gerhard Kramer's group studies information theory, coding, and signal processing. The current focus is on wireless and fiber-optic channels, and on network coding and turbo processing.
- Norbert Hanik's group studies the physical layer of wireline communication systems, in particular optical and power line systems.
Both groups are interested in applying theory to accurate models, and in developing codes and processing strategies that promise to impact.
The LNT offers 16 courses and several labs and seminars:
- 3 B.Sc. courses on Digital Communications and Wireless Channels
- 9 M.Sc. courses on Information Theory, Coding, Wireless (LTE), Wireline, and Optical Systems
- 4 courses for Teachers at Vocational Schools and Business Administration Students
- 4 Practica, 2 Laboratories, and 2 Seminars
We offer several Bachelor and Master projects every semester, as well as "Ingenieurspraxis" and "Forschungspraxis" projects.

BRIEF-BT Group announces contract with Bridgestone Europe
* Announced contract with Bridgestone Europe for network infrastructure, managed cloud services in Europe, Middle East And Africa Source text for Eikon: Further company coverage:
(Corrects total sum raised to $21.6 million instead of $21.3 million in headline and first sentence)
* Facebook backer David Sze will invest largest single sum
* Appetite for social networks endures in wake of Facebook IPO
* Amazon's CEO Jeff Bezos is investing
By Sarah McBride
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 12 Neighborhood social network start-up Nextdoor has raised another $21.6 million, even as many investors shy away from the sector in the wake of troubled Facebook initial public offering last year.
The new funding includes $15 million from Greylock Partners, whose partner David Sze will be joining Nextdoor's board. Sze, known for his involvement in networks LinkedIn and Facebook in their earliest days, said he has never before invested so much in a single investment round.
The investment showed many investors still have plenty of cash for social networks, provided they are tapping a niche where users get deeply involved and where a path to profitability is emerging.
"That is the next phase," Sze told Reuters, talking about a generation of more specialized networks that have come after early networks like Facebook built broader networks that introduced consumers to the concept. "There's less huge opportunities, but there's more point opportunities."
Nextdoor, which launched in late 2011, is now in 8,075 neighborhoods around the United States, with plans to expand overseas. It links communities of neighbors in private networks.
"It's people who have roots," said chief executive Nirav Tolia about his members in any given neighborhood. "They either own property, have families, or are on their way to owning property or having families."
Members post Facebook style, giving or seeking recommendations for services such as babysitters and yard maintenance or local retailers and restaurants. They also post about community issues such as parking; crime and safety; or items for sale or loan.
The funding comes as other versions of social networks --including private social network Path, question and answer service Quora, and influence-measuring service Klout -- haven't been able to gain serious traction among users, despite raising tens of millions of dollars.
But Nextdoor is different, Sze says, because of the trust it has built among its users, the rapid pace at which it is growing, and the potential to make money down the line, even if the exact mechanism remains nebulous.
"If you squint and think about it, you can draw the line to where monetization is possible," Sze, who will join Nextdoor's board, said. "Whether that is advertising or coupons or review lifting, who knows."
Tolia believes the service will become "the next generation of yellow pages," tapping into what he said was a $100 billion local advertising market.
New investors Google Ventures and Bezos Expeditions, Amazon chief Jeff Bezos' venture fund, participated in Nextdoor's latest funding round. So did existing investors Benchmark Capital and Shasta Ventures.
Nextdoor has raised a total of $40.2 million. (Editing by Richard Pullin)

Unable to trust anyone but each other, the two indulge in a deeply twisted relationship that raises the question: does mother really know best?

Re: Mince Beef
A simple non-fried mince dish!
500g beef mince (ideally low fat)
(also works well with minced lamb/pork/chicken)
Mix into the mince finely chopped onion, garlic, ginger, chilli, celery, coriander.
(Optionally add finely chopped carrot, courgette, mushroom,, peppers; any or all of this as you fancy).
Add 2 teaspoons Thai 7 Spice or Chinese 5 Spice or similar
Add a dash of soy sauce
Add 2 bay leaves
Place in a baking bowl and cover with tinfoil and tie with string to ensure fully sealed.
Place the bowl in a bain-marie or steamer and slow steam for about 90 minutes. Remember to check water frequently.
On opening the bowl the meat and juices may have separated, so break it up with a wooden spoon.
Serve with steamed rice or noodles
Enjoy the delicious result!

itsmarie I made your recipe but without the cabbage leaves. I used shredded cabbage inside the mixture and egg as a binding to form the mixture into a ball, the meat was seasoned with basil and a shake of fennel it turned out really nice as a starter on its own.
Thank you for that recipe.

Re: Mince Beef
Someone listed both "scotch collops" and "mince and tatties" - even being Scottish, I must confess I have no idea what the difference is! I thought they were the same.
Look up recipes for "kheema" - that's a sort of curry made with mince.
Also, meatloaf. I do it as per Jamie's recipe in Ministry of Food: 1lb (~500g) mince, 12 crushed cream crackers (if you can't get these, they are large, about 3" square, so if using smaller crackers you'll need more), 2 onions, 1 egg. Chop the onion finely, fry til soft and let cool a bit, then mix all the ingredients with your hands, adding salt, pepper and whatever herbs and spices you want. Then shape into a rugby ball shape, put on a baking sheet and bake, starting at high heat and turning down immediately to 200C, for 30min.
He adds various spices in the recipe, and serves it with chickpeas and tomato sauce. The recipe is here:
http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/beef … n-imperial
I note the online version has been Americanised - for others, please note when it says "football shape" it means American football - my copy of the book says "rugby ball shape". He's not telling you to make a giant meatball!
I don't usually do the tomato sauce thing; instead, I serve it with mashed potato or maybe roast potato, Yorkshire puds and gravy. It's good stuff. I'm not a fan of meatloaf cooked in a tin, if you cook it like this the fat runs off and it's much nicer.
Haven't made this for ages. Must make it soon!

Spring Fashion 2014: Accessories
<p>You need the right accessories to put together the perfect outfit. Find out what you need in our men's fashion for 2014 series. </p>
Yesterday we went through the broad strokes of what's happening in men's style for this spring, and the news is guys' fashion is taking a relaxed turn. If you're embracing the more casual approach, accessories become even more important to set yourself apart. We're here to highlight the hottest accessories you need to conquer 2014.
Satchels, Bags and Duffels

Ascend to the peak of fashion and have something to carry your must-haves around with a man bag. Be it a satchel, a messenger bag, a sports bag or a duffel, masculine bags are stylish, but above all they're practical. Pick a bag to tote your tablet, flask and work papers, all the while looking sharp. Swap your backpack or briefcase for the Dolce & Gabbana Brushed Leather Cross Body Bag. Made from kangaroo skin, its rich leather is a treat for the eyes, plus it's surprisingly roomy without being bulky. If you need something for hitting the gym or a carry-on for your next short-haul flight, the Barbour Wax Holdall is a duffel bag that changes lives. Constructed of robust waxed cotton with antique brass fittings and a tartan lining, it's a sharp and functional piece which will always be in vogue.

Due to factors like price and the time craftsmanship takes, the trends in watches move in longer cycles than the seasonal fluctuations of other accessories. That said, it is possible to spot some developments and give you the 411 on what you need around your wrist. Large pieces with many dials, sub dials and gems have been prominent and that kind of bling has its place, but designers are moving in slimmer and more streamlined directions this year. The Vacheron Constantin Caliber 1731, named for the year Vacheron Constantin was born, is straightforward and sophisticated. Made of 18 karat rose gold, it's the world's thinnest manual-winding minute repeater. Black watch faces with a black strap continue to be on-trend. The 88 Rue Du Rhone Men's Chronograph is an elegant option and it's surprisingly affordable.

Thanks to our trend forecaster, you're already well aware that chunkier suits are all the buzz. Formal wear calls for a wider tie: three to three and a quarter inches should do the trick. The laid-back Brooks Brothers Micro Dot Tie chills out without being boring. Don't stress about patterns; the 2014 swing to understated style means you should just focus on matching the tie to your outfit. If you do want to subtly jazz it up, go for a tie with textured fabric such as the Brioni Jacquard Stripe Tie. Don't throw your collection of skinny ties out yet, though; a skinny tie elevates every casual ensemble, makes you look taller and draws the eyes of discerning women your way. Pick up an Yves Saint Laurent Print Solid Tip Skinny Tie for your next night out at the club.

The vogue for chunky retro-inspired Buddy Holly horn-rims keeps enduring, and for good reason. Horn-rims have retro appeal and their heft compliments many face types. With the sartorial shift toward understatement, horn-rims' time might be up. Fortunately, you can split the difference between horn-rims and more minimal specs with a pair of half-frame browlines. The new 2014 Tennessee Whiskey Browlines from Warby Parker are modern enough to be chic and retro enough to be classic. For those who want their glasses to see more than what's in front of them, Google Glass, the infamous computer system built into a pair of eyewear, is being released to the general public this year. The test devices Google sold to a select group of early adopters are purely functional, but now the tech giant's teamed up with designer Isabelle Olsson to produce frames that'll make Google Glass pleasing to the eye.
Cuff Links
(Courtesy Dunhill.com)
"God is in the details," the saying goes, so become a fashion god by perfecting the little touches when you accessorize. When dressing to the nines, never neglect to pop on a pair of cuff links. Since cuff links are small, feel free to buck the year's simplicity trend and wear some eye grabbers like the Alfred Dunhill Carbon Fibre Cufflinks. Throwing on the suit for a crazy night out? We now live in a brave new world where Saks Fifth Avenue sells Googly Eye Cuff Links …they may not be the best option, but that doesn't mean you can't have some fun. When you hit the casino, consider the Paul Smith Playing Card Cuff Links, and when it's time for making a statement snap on the Paul Smith OMG Cuff Links.
(Courtesy FarFetch.com)
A wide variety of belt styles showed up on the runways this season, but no single trend dominated. We recommend the straightforward but beautiful Fendi Black Selleria Belt. Hand-stitched in Italy and made of textured Cuoio Romano calfskin with a silver metal buckle, it works with everything. If you wish to pump up the color, the Dolce & Gabbana Navy Blue Leather Classic Belt does more than keep your pants up. It's a soft touch of flair without being gauche: the navy blue is muted but effective for contributing to the outfit. And the signature logo buckle is classic and prominent while managing not to overwhelm your midsection.
Our Spring Fashion 2014 series continues tomorrow as we examine what's in for grooming.

PAY Surges: Worst is Over, Says Wedbush; No Sign of Tunaround, Says Deutsche
Shares of electronic payments processing firm VeriFone (PAY) are up $2.18, or 11%, at $22.90, after the company last night reported fiscal Q3 revenue and earnings per share that beat analysts' expectations, and forecast this quarter's revenue higher as well.
The upside has produced a spirited disagreement between bull and bear today.
On the bull side, the stock got one upgrade today, from Wedbush Securities's Gil Luria, who raised the stock to Outperform from Neutral, and increased his price target to $26 from $15, writing that "VeriFone is on track to overcome its legacy issues."
"We believe the nature of competition in the terminal market has not changed," writes Luria, "implying VeriFone and Ingenico's growth rates will revert to the mean mid- to high single digits by 2H14 and into FY15."
"We expect a new updated product set from VeriFone to be fully deployed by mid-FY14, based on the R&D investment that began earlier this year."
Luria seems most pleased about the greater clarity around cash flow:
We expect the current trajectory will lead VeriFone to normalized 2015 FCF margins of 13%, in line with trend-line years FY10-11 (page 2). Based on Ingenico's continued upward gross margin trajectory, we believe close comparable PAY has the ability to return to the 12-14% FCF margin range. We believe that by introducing transparency and improving quality of earnings, CFO Rothman has improved visibility into PAY's financial outlook. FCF of $31 million was actually greater than adj. NI for the second quarter in a row, the first such back-to-back quarters since 2009. The company is also settling other legacy issues including underinvestment in R&D, lawsuits and tax settlements. CFO Rothman has been able to begin delevering the balance sheet, while avoiding repatriation taxes, which we believe is reducing financial risks going forward.
On the bear side, Deutsche Bank's Bryan Keane reiterates a Sell rating, and a $13 price target, writing that he had anticipated the beat because the company forecast for the quarter had been so low.
But there are "little signs of a turnaround," he thinks.
For one thing, product shortcomings are still costing the company market share:
With the product and certification issues still lingering, PAY continues to lose customer/contract in Canada, Brazil, and Western Europe. NA revenues of $115.8m (down -16.3% Y/Y) came below our est. of $122.7m due to certification issues in Canada ($50 - $60m annual sales market) and petroleum weakness in US. Latin America revenues declined 26% Y/Y and PAY expects it to decline further in 4Q13 due to share loss in Brazil due to product delays and currency control in Venezuela. EMEA revenue decline moderated with strength in Russia as well as support from a recent acquisition in France. Overall, we remain skeptical of PAY's ability to gain back the lost share.
For another thing, the cash situation continues to deteriorate:
Despite managements focus on cash conversion, cash conversion days
increased from 62 days in 3Q12 to 81 days in 3Q13, mostly due to the year over year decline in account payables and increase in inventories. FCF was an anemic $30m and the company expects the FCF to decline further to $25m in 4Q13 due to more normalized capex ($25m in 4Q13). We remain skeptical of material FCF improvement in FY14 given the declining margins and increased investments. Gross margins declined 460bps due to ~760bps decline in system margins, which PAY partly attributed to increased investment and inventory reserves (200bps) and was likely impacted due to pricing pressure.

text: Done (at least for a little while). We finished the last round through the last beeyard for 2012 today. We were already in the South so we didn't have to go Soutbound. We run for honey from fixed locations in NC. Its been an instructive year with more swarms than normal, more queen problems than normal, and less nectar than normal. We are glad to put 2012 in the rear view mirror and are looking forward to putting our paid-for lessons to good use in 2013. Its warm enough to start putting on more pollen sub but I think I am going to leave the bees alone until January 2, 2013. Hunting season is 70% gone and I haven't been once but there's three weeks left in the deer and bear seasons and I plan to start looking for Bambi and Yogi tomorrow.

When Dai was number one at the Grand Prix Final and then plunged to five was that nerves or old injury?
He could have withdrawn earlier in the month, not after federation anounced it officially 3 days ago. And it is not like he was injured free all season amd injured himself just today. They didnt announce that anyway. He was already in injections for months and now it took its toll, after 10 back to back shows in Swiss also. If he was afraid to compete he would stay home after 2006, hugging his gold medal and eating pizza and would not risk health and everything else to reach Vancouver and skated with a mash potato knee. I had said I think he had no motivation to go to Worlds, for what, a 4th gold? And now, decided or forced that it doesnt worth the risk.

Sad news, I enjoy Yevegeni's performance every time he steps on the ice.
Hoping for a full recovery and best of luck to him.
Wow. The Worlds roster has been a roller coster. I assumed Evegeni would not go to worlds after Vanvouver, an was very surprised . I assumed he was only doing it for an easy win. I wonder what exactly his injury is and question how Evegeni can think he can continue until Sochi considering his poor physical health.
Now the gold is literally wide open. I wonder if Evan and Johnny are rueing thier decisions to skip worlds. Th Mens event just got VERY interesting.
I hope Plushenko is Ok. He should rest. Then come back strong next season to win the Worlds.
Evan already has the biggest prize and probably doesn't mind giving one of the other guys a chance.
It is ashame that so many of the quad jumpers seem to destroy their bodies.
I hope he recovers soon because Sochi really isn't that far away
This has to be the least surprising withdrawal since Evan's.
Kozuka landed a quad in Vancouver, and Takahashi attempted one. If these two want to be on the podium, they will attempt quads again. Joubert and Bradley are both sure to include quads in their programs.

MarineParents.com raises $10,000 for family of Lance Cpl. Jeremiah Collins
COLUMBIA, Mo. - As the government shutdown freezes some benefits for families of U.S. service members, a Columbia nonprofit group is stepping in to help the family of a fallen Marine.
MarineParents.com raised $10,000 Wednesday for the family of Lance Corporal Jeremiah Collins. He was killed Saturday while serving in Afghanistan.
Because of the shutdown, benefits typically given to families of fallen service members aren't always being provided. Those benefits include a $100,000 gratuity, payment for funeral expenses and transportation to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, where service members' bodies are returned.
On Wednesday, the Pentagon reached a deal with a private charity to ensure families of fallen troops are paid the survivor benefits.
The government will reimburse the Maryland-based Fisher House Foundation once the shutdown is over.
According to MarineParents.com, the money was all raised in about an hour. They will give the money to Collins' mother, Shannon, today.

Student Loan Thief Chased Down
PHOENIX, ARIZONA - The United States Attorney's Office for the District of Arizona announces today that JOHN E. CHRISTENSEN, (D.O.B. 4-21-41), of Mesa, Arizona, was arrested on September 2, 2003, as he tried to claim a student loan check in an assumed name at Mesa Community College.
The criminal complaint charges CHRISTENSEN with violating Title 20, United States Code, Section 1097 (Financial Aid Fraud), Title 42, United States Code, Section 408(a)(7)(B) (Social Security Fraud), and Title 18, United States Code, Section 1028(a)(7) (Identity Theft).
According to the complaint, Christensen used the identities of prison inmates serving lengthy prison sentences to apply for and receive federal student aid, and Social Security benefits. On September 2, 2003, Christensen arrived at Mesa Community College to claim an student financial aid check under the name of Frank Morgan. Staff at the Financial Aid Office recognized Christensen as the same person who had claimed an aid check under the name George Aikens, and called campus security. Christensen took off on foot shortly after security arrived, but was caught by campus security and Mesa Police. Christensen then produced identification in the name of Joseph Bruce, and had in his possession identification in the names Frank Morgan and Donald Joy, according to the complaint. Student loans were applied for or obtained in six different names (Frank Morgan, Donald Joy, George Aikens, Joseph Bruce, Paul Reed, and John Dubalski), according to the complaint, at three local community colleges (Mesa Community College, Maricopa Community College, and Scottsdale Community College).
A conviction for Financial Aid Fraud carries a maximum penalty of five year(s), a $20,000 fine or both. A conviction for Social Security Fraud carries a maximum penalty of five year(s), a $250,000 fine or both. A conviction for Identity Theft carries a maximum penalty of 15 year(s), a $250,000 fine or both, and forfeiture.
A criminal complaint is simply the method by which a person is charged with criminal activity and raises no inference of guilt. An individual is presumed innocent until competent evidence is presented to a jury that establishes guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
The investigation preceding the complaint was conducted the Office of Inspector General of the United States Department of Education, the Office of Inspector General of the Social Security Administration, the Mesa Police Department, and College Safety, Mesa Community College.
The prosecution is being handled by Daniel R. Drake, Assistant United States Attorney, District of Arizona, Phoenix, Arizona.

Paul Verdon's series of collectors' rugby books have created a niche - restricted-run, historically-aimed publishing complete with the signatures of the main protagonists to enhance collectability - and he has done it again with Generals Of The World Cup.
A year on from the last World Cup, there have been Cup books aplenty. But Verdon looks at each tournament from the perspectives of the "generals" who played in the final, guiding their team to the world title - rugby's first five-eighths; fly-halves, outside halves or stand-offs, as they are known.
It features the original signatures of each World Cup-winning first five-eighth so far: Grant Fox, Michael Lynagh, Joel Stransky, Stephen Larkham, Jonny Wilkinson, Butch James, Aaron Cruden and Stephen Donald. He interviewed the winning first-fives, looking at the tournament from their point of view and the strategies they and their teams espoused.
One of the most interesting sections was Larkham's - the converted fullback who was originally panned by critics for not having a kicking game of international quality but who kicked a dropped goal of nearly 50m to clinch the 1999 World Cup semifinal against South Africa.
The Australians then beat the French in the final to become the first team to win the World Cup twice.
The book details how Larkham dropped the goal in spite of never having kicked one in a test before and in spite of a knee injury to his kicking leg. He also reportedly could not see the posts properly. His eyesight was poor and he had corrective eye surgery after the World Cup.
This is Verdon's 11th book. This book is not available in stores but through Hill-Verdon Publishing, 39 Harbour View Rd, Pt Chevalier, Auckland 1022. Email email@example.com, phone (09) 846 4991, or website www.verdoncollectables.com, $295 plus postage.
To go into the draw to win one of two copies of Generals Of The World Cup, email your entry to firstname.lastname@example.com by 5pm Friday, November 16, answering these two questions: Who are the "generals" of the book's title?Who produced the winning kicks in the 1999 and 2011 World Cups?
All entries must include your name, address and phone number. The two winners will be contacted this week.

I will say this and you may not agree. There have been a lot of recriminations within the GOP about Mitt Romney. Well he had to navigate a crazy GOP primary. It was said this morning on morning Joe. They put cement shoes on him and then blamed him for sinking.
My point is that Romney would have been a truly great President. A solid fiscal hawk and a social moderate. Its the old "be careful what you ask for" deal. Now these folks have it. The irony is thats its his biggest supporters (the young voters) who will have to pay the tab for this crushing debt. Not guys like me.

I have a hive of wild bees and am interested in captureing them ,how do i do this ? Thanks
Check out youtube, either swarms or honeybee removal.
Specifically, check out jpthebeeman.
Welcome to Beesource!
The sub-forum you posted this request in is full of threads that address your question. If you want to "capture" them, the best search term to use is "trapout." You may find these threads useful:
You can send your email address to Cleo Hogan (see the second thread) for a copy of his trapout guide.
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
Dave: A lot depends on where the hive is located as to what technique would make most sense. Where is the hive located? Do you already have bees? You might also want to do a bit of research for beekeepers in your area. Somebody may be willing to help. I also agree...look for videos on Youtube...JPTheBeeman is a master. There are several other great ones out there too...you'll quickly be able to see who knows what they're doing, and who doesn't.

Pflugrad to join Weber State as OC
Just 10 months after being fired from the University of Montana. Former Griz head coach Robin Pflugrad has already found a new job, and he didn't even leave the Big Sky Conference.
Weber State Athletic Director Jerry Bovee announced today, via twitter, that Pflugrad will be joining the Wildcats football program as their offensive coordinator. Pflugrad has been coaching football for over 30 years but this will be the first time he's held the position of offensive coordinator.
Pflugrad was fired last March along with athletic director Jim O'Day amidst the wake of numerous sexual assault cases connected to the Grizzly football team.
Montana was Pflugrad's only stint as a head coach. The grizzlies went 18-7 during his tenure. During his last season in Missoula the Grizzlies advanced all the way to the national semifinals and Pflugrad was named the Big Sky Conference head coach of the year.

In February of 2011 I joined SiriusXM Satellite Radio as a producer/co-host on the College Sports Nation Channel until June of 2012. Started "Overtime" on Sioux Falls Sports Leader ESPN 99.1 in July 2012. PERSONAL: I met my lovely wife Paige in 2006 at the University of Minnesota. We moved down to Nashville, TN together where she received her Masters Degree in School Psychology and her Education Specialist Degree from Tennessee State University and is now the School Psychologist for the West Central School District.

Like predicting the impact of climate change, looking forward to the season's album releases reveals an increasing number of significant events, but you can't quite pin down exactly when they'll all happen. With debut full-lengths from interesting emerging songwriters like Lady Lamb the Beekeeper and Max Garcia Conover, plus new work from those who've already put out consistently great work like Spose, Kate Schrock, and Trails, there's a good deal to look forward to if you're a connoisseur of Maine music.
Some Mainers don't stay exclusively in Maine, but we don't have to give them up. MOSES ATWOOD returns for the first time in a good while this weekend, in fact, to remind us of his old-timey grace even if it's by showing off a piano-centric writing style we haven't seen before from the accomplished acoustic guitar picker on "One Bright Boat," the opening and title track to his new album. There's maybe some Steve Winwood here, but lots of New Orleans soul, too, "tired of all the sad songs/tired of living my life like I done something wrong"
"At Last" is a summery and melancholy beach tune, with a high-hat like the wind in your hair and enjoying the sunset at the end of a beautiful day you wish wouldn't end. "Garden of Eden" is like a Traffic tune: "I hear the brass band playing just for me." The vocals in general are Procul Harum's Gary Brooker mixed with Winwood and thoroughly engaging, never more than on the closing ballad, "Tell It Like It Is."
There's definitely no reason to miss him DECEMBER 28, with long-time friend SAMUEL JAMES, at One Longfellow Square, in Portland.
We're also hearing tell that this next week could see the release of new records from both BRENDA and METAL FEATHERS, a pair of smart rock bands who'll be putting out Fix Your Eyes and Handful of Fog, respectively with TEENARENA RECORDS (also doing vinyl for 2012's poppy Foam Castles record, Bonanza).
Should we get our hands on them, we'll be reviewing those shortly, as we'll do for the new release from the prolific and tireless STEVE JONES, Listening, which will be available JANUARY 8. An early listen says it's another group of Jones songs that deliver a lot of different roots approaches, from Steve Earle heartache to John Cale cynicism to Delmore Brothers hillbilly boogie-woogie.
On JANUARY 11, FORMORNING will release "The Soldier Song/Lorena Bobbitt," a single featuring Whit Walker, Kate Somerville, Mark Cevoli, Elizabeth Stockbridge, Daniel Boyden, and Dominic Lavoie, whose ShaShaSha will play along with Forget Forget at the release show at the Big Easy. Lavoie also engineered the songs, which follow on ForMorning tunes like "One in a Million," which has a studied sloppiness, and "George Jetson's Wife," with a pump-organ jangle that's really easy on the ears.
Also, as the month closes out, look for a new full-length from TRAILS (The Lin producing, Syn the Shaman vocalizing), which is yet untitled, but promises vocal guest spots from Dray Sr., Spose, and Misl. The Lin says it may lean more sample-driven, but "it's not done yet, so who knows."

The Lion King is roaring at the Providence Performing Arts Center through February 20, and the theatergoing denizens of this urban jungle are happy.
With all it has going for it — spectacle, music and lyrics by Elton John and Tim Rice, a redemption story cute as a Cub Scout — you'd have to be a sour old villain to hate it. At the matinee I caught, there were gaggles of kids, hushed and rapt in the right moments and cheering enthusiastically when virtue was rewarded.
The story couldn't be simpler. Lion cub Simba (Jerome Stephens Jr.), born to succeed Mufasa (Derrick Davis) as king of as far as they can see from Pride Rock, believes he has caused his father's death in a wilde-beest stampede. He is urged to that conclusion by his evil uncle Scar (J. Anthony Crane) and runs away. He buddies up with a couple of cheerful little creatures, meerkat Timon (Nick Cordileone) and warthog Pumbaa (Ben Lipitz). He joins them in their happy, carefree lives until the grown-up Simba (Marquis Moss, standing in for Adam Jacobs when I saw it) returns to the pride because Scar and his hyena minions have overhunted the land, bringing starvation. Needless to say, Simba saves the day.
But anyone mainly interested in the simple story might as well just watch the 1994 Disney animation it was adapted from, the book written by Roger Allers and Irene Mecchi. No, the reason that grown-ups come to this show, whether dragging a kid or two for an excuse or unselfconsciously alone, is that the production values of the above-appreciated spectacle would make a Roman emperor's circus look like a kindergarten pageant.
The production is pure, intensified theater. The magic is to the credit of director Julie Taymor, who studied historical puppetry in Japan and brings a Bunraku sensibility to the costumes here, which are the real stars of the show, along with the puppets and masks, some inhabited fully, others partially, some held before the performers. The giraffes are stilt walkers, short legs behind, long handheld legs in front. A cheetah is a kind of lithe feline centaur, sinuous front legs manipulated on sticks. A brace of gazelles leap in concert, propelled by one person walking gracefully. At one point, huge beasts, elephants, and rhinos approach down the aisles. When the dozen lionesses weep together, the actresses below the headdresses pull streamers from the eyes.
It's all delightfully acted, the genre conventions guiding behaviors on steel rails. Scar's sarcastic, British-accented lighthearted villainy was patented by Jeremy Irons in Die Hard (and then reprised in the Lion King animation). Simba's father is a properly towering, deep-voiced lion king. The pudgy warthog and skinny meerkat sound like they look. Young Simba's playmate and grown-up mate-to-be, Nala (Monique Lee and Syndee Winters), are straightforwardly established and the romance sweetly presented.
An effective framing device is the baboon narrator Rafiki (Brenda Mhlongo), who establishes a joyous, fun-loving background to the opening "Circle of Life" song that brings in the parade of animals. The song wonderfully interweaves with the Zulu chant "Nants' Ingonyama." Sung by Nala, "Shadow-lands" incorporates advice by Rafiki in her native tongue. Besides employing an entirely African-American cast, this show seems honestly appreciative of African culture.

hive swarmed Tuesday 5/1, moved too quickly to retrieve from a low branch, to a very high (over 100 feet) branch in a different tree, above a home. Hive moved into attic of home within 2 hours of swarming, just discovered them in the home today, 36 hours later.
I have access to a bee vacuum, have never used one, it is hot here, not sure what I will find when I go in home tomorrow with vacuum. Will they be clustered? they appear to be flying around 2nd story, assume they are in attic.
will it be obvious where cluster/queen is? is it likely I'll be able to remove them? Any advice appreciated, I have trapped swarms out of trees but never a home.

text: I sent my information in! I couldn't let Brat have a party without me, she is too much fun! I have some wonderful watermelon and green ticking fabric or some florals. Whatever my partner wants I am always up for shopping! I don't know what I really want, my house doesn't really have a theme or decorating direction, I have never really done anything about it. Maybe butterflies me and the girls love butterflies, but my husband would love something patriotic, a Texas theme would be cool. I am actually open, I like to see different techniques and fabrics!!!!!

By finding the death certificates of Gerald, Linda and Theresa, I was able to find out the town they died in. The accident occured in Kings County, California. Through Ancestry.com's newspaper archives, I found several small articles about the accident in the Fresno Bee Republican. These articles held a few new pieces of information, including the name of the driver in the other car. This information is bolded.
From the Fresno Bee Republican, November 7, 1965:
Handford, Kings, Co.–Three persons were killed last night in a high-speed headon collision on the Avenal Cutoff, two miles north of that city, and another died in an accident on 22nd Avenue near Elder Avenue, in the nortern part of the county.
Coroner Carl Hargis identified the dead in the Avenal crash as Gerald Kline, 24, who was dead on arrival at the Avenal District Hospital; his wife, Linda, 21, and a 13-month-old daughter, Robbin, who were dead at the scene.
The victim of the other crash was identified as Max Howder, 54, of 3334 C St., Lemoore.
In the Avenal accident, Hargis said, Kline, who was discharged from the Navy in June and was employed by the Standard Oil Co. in Coalinga, was driving north on the Cutoff when a southbound car driven at high speed by Thomas Kaylor, traveling on the wrong side of the road, hit in head-on. Two other Kline children, Jerry, 4, and Paul, 3, were injured seriously.
Kaylor and two passengers, Larry Jones, 24, of Coalinga, and James Hamilton of Handrod, also were injured. All the injured were taken to the Avenal Hospital. Hamilton was transferred to a Fresno hospital after first aid.
In the other accident witness reported Howder was driving north on 22nd Avenue at high speed, and his car hit the concrete abutment of a bridge across the Kings River. Twenty-second Avenue is a main road into Riverdale from the south.

In many organisations, network infrastructure testing is neglected or overlooked. Yet Gartner estimates low-end computer network downtime costs $42,000 per hour. For a large company, the cost could be over ten times that.
In 2011, Sony Playstation's network was compromised exposing the personal information of 77 million users. This created a 24-day outage and cost Sony over $24 billion. The same year an outage left Blackberry users without services for four days - crippling RIM's competitive position.
The cost of a test platform that delivers test realism is a fraction of the costs resulting from outages or security breaches. Best-practice enterprise network testing discovers performance limitations and validates vendor claims during acquisition; performs due diligence of proof-of-concept for network designs or upgrades; and plans for headroom and growth.
This paper reveals how inadequate testing is as bad as no testing. It creates a false sense of security. Effective testing requires proper tools, methodologies and expertise.

Category: rain god names
Not long ago, a couple I know—both serious swimmers—asked me if I could help them come up with a girl's name that related to water. They didn't want any site-specific water names —no actual names of oceans or rivers or seas, no Hudsons or Niles for them– but something with the feel or sense or literal meaning of water.
I put together a relatively short list for them of water-related words and names whose meanings reference water. Here's a considerably expanded version of those water names, with some, of course, more usable than others. (By the way, my friends chose to name their daughter Tallulah, in large part because they loved its meaning—"leaping water")
So if you're a swimmer, a surfer, a snorkeler, a fisherperson, or just someone who likes to walk in the rain, here are some possible approaches.

ED SCHULTZ: I have to say, as an American citizen, we are all entitled to due process under the law. And this document gives the president the ability to act as judge, jury and executioner. I'm troubled by it. It doesn't meet the moral or the constitutional standard that we expect of any administration, and I have to say that liberals have come certainly a long way to crying about the FISA court and the Patriot Act and listening in on conversations to literally taking out innocent people around the world. We're losing the moral high ground by doing this, and even more troubling, there are people in Washington who are ominously silent and not questioning this process and willing to stand behind the legal opinion of the justice department. This is President Obama's legacy right now. It is dangerous.
This is the Democratic party circling the wagons in case there's a public outcry.
I haven't seen one Lib on this board speak out against it... Hell awant defended it

Despots themselves do not deny the excellence of freedom, but they wish to keep it all to themselves, and maintain that all other men are utterly unworthy of it. Thus it is not on the opinion which may be entertained of freedom that this difference subsists, but on the greater or the less esteem that we have for mankind; and it may be said with strict accuracy, that the taste a man may show for absolute government bears an exact ratio to the contempt he may profess for his countrymen. - Alexis de Tocqueville
We're losing the moral high ground by doing this,

Here is a guy I would like for us to target and for some reason he is falling. I think we would be able to snatch him up in Round 3. I feel today too many people take stock in the offseason events like the combine and Senior Bowl practices (really!). This is where Polk fell. Did they forget his numbers on the field which are awesome and the fact that he ran behind a not so great OLine at UW
2009 - 1,113 yds and a 4.9 YPC with 5 TDs and 25 receptions
2010 - 1,415 yds and a 5.4 YPC with 9 TDs and 22 receptions
2011 - 1,488 yds and a 5.1 YPC with 12 TDs and 31 receptions
I read that in Senior Bowl practices he had trouble picking up blitzes. What RB coming out of College doesn't need to work on blitz pick up. He can learn that. If you watch his tape, he is so much like Arian Foster its crazy. Tough runner with excellent vision and good enough speed. He would be a great compliment to AB and eventually our starter.
What do you guys think of this draft?

Wayne Law's Jessup moot court team finishes as quarter-finalist
A Wayne State University Law School five-member team finished a regional tournament of the world's largest international moot court competition as a quarter-finalist.
The team was one of 21 that competed in the Philip C. Jessup International Moot Court competition from Feb. 20 through 23 in Chicago. Wayne Law's team was ranked second when it advanced with the top eight teams to the quarter-final rounds, where the team was defeated by Illinois Institute of Technology's Chicago-Kent College of Law.
Frank Moran of Rochester Hills, an oralist and the only second-year student on Wayne Law's team, earned individual recognition as second-place oralist in the regional contest of about 70 competitors.
The team's co-chancellors are third-year students Klaudia Nikolli of Windsor, Ontario, researcher and oralist, and Bonsitu Kitaba of Mississauga, Ontario, also a researcher and oralist. Third-year students John Gaviglio of Ferndale, researcher and oralist, and Rachael Kohl of Novi, editor, make up the rest of the Wayne Law Jessup team this year. Professor Gregory Fox of Ann Arbor, director of Wayne Law's Program for International Legal Studies, is the team's faculty advisor. Rachel Hom of Detroit, a Wayne Law program coordinator and 2013 alumna who was the chancellor of last year's team, served as the travel coach.
"I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to be a part of such a great learning experience," Nikolli said. "Jessup enhanced my research, writing and oralist skills and allowed me to understand international law at a deeper level. Although the competition was difficult, I am so proud of the Wayne Law Jessup team and how far we have come."
Wayne Law has a long tradition of doing well in the Jessup competition, where students represent countries in a fictional case before the International Court of Justice, the judicial organ of the United Nations. Teams from more than 550 law schools in more than 80 nations compete each year. The contest is in its 55th year.
Teams prepare oral and written pleadings, arguing both sides of the fictional case, and work hard for many months before the contest, learning substantive international law and research methods in the process.
"The team worked incredibly hard to master a very complex area of international law," Fox said. "I'm very proud of their showing at the regional tournament. Winning all four preliminary rounds and finishing second in the region going into the elimination rounds is in the tradition of outstanding Wayne performance in the Jessup."

I have a leg pain since 1 year. I checked doctor he said I don't have a enough vitamin d. I give lots of tablet. He said to eat mushroom. But my pain is not gone. What should I have to do?
Hi. I have severe lower back pain which goes to my right leg. I am unable to sit or walk or even change side in bed without pain. The pain started in 4th month of my pregnancy and became worse with time. It was in lower back and pubic area. I was told it's coz of pelvic girdle and will go after delivery. Now my baby is 10 days old but pain is only getting worse. Now the pain is in lower back right buttock and right leg. I am not able to sit for long to feed my baby.
The knee is one of the largest and most important joints of our body. It is also susceptible to wear and tear as well as injuries. Knee pain can occur due to a variety of reasons starting from conditions like arthritis problem and osteoporosis as well as injuries that can affect the ligaments, the joint, the menisci and femur. These are the various parts of the knees, which can suffer from degeneration or even injuries. The best way to combat chronic knee pain is through rest, ice compress and with the help of pain relieving and anti-inflammatory medication.
While rest and ice compress for chronic knee pain and pain relieving and anti-inflammatory medication are the best ways to combat knee pain, orthopaedics also recommend the use of various strengthening exercises which can alleviate knee pain. Here are a few of the best ones!
- The towel hook: Lie down flat on your back and raise one leg, Hook a towel under the foot and press it against the towel as you pull both ends downwards, creating slight pressure. This can be done for a few seconds at a time. Remember to do this at least ten times for each foot and increase gradually. This exercise helps in strengthening your entire leg from the calf to the knee and even the thighs so that the pain subsides.
- Towel roll: In towel roll exercise, after pushing knee, should do dorsiflexion and hold for 20 seconds.. Hamstring exercises are also given by placing roll towel under your feet, push down, dorsiflexion and hold for 20 seconds Adductor exercises are also given by placing small ball between your legs just above the knee joint, press and hold for 20seconds.
- Swing: For this exercise, you will need to sit down on a chair. Now take one leg and swing it up until it is in line with your hip. Hold it out like this before you slowly bring it down again. Do this at least twenty to thirty times for each leg and gradually increase the frequency and the number of seconds for which you hold the knee. This will also help in pain management.
- Knee marches: You can also do knee marches by sitting down on a chair. You will need to march each knee up and down at least twenty to thirty times. You will need to do this for a few minutes every day and you can easily do it twice a day even when you are at work, sitting in front of a desk. You must ensure that your posture is straight and upright for this exercise.

My father currently aged 70 years who has had a stoke few years back and over the last three months is not able to walk. Physiotherapy is being done at home but with very little improvement. I am observing symptoms of parkinson as studied from Internet. Apart from exercise is there anything else I can do for my father, like any Medicine.
Back pain is one of the most common debilitating disorder in the world today. The pain affects 90% of people at some point of their lives. Human back comprises of various structures (see figure) which are nerves, bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons, any or all of which can be a source of pain. Once back pain occurs, it may become chronic (more than 4 weeks) and you shall need to consult a pain physician for relief and accurate diagnosis.
Since prevention is always better than cure, you can save yourself from having back pain if you follow these basic tips:
Regular Exercise in Correct Form: Regular exercise is important to maintain proper muscular strength of the back. Human back is supported by several big muscle groups (see figure). They serve two functions - one is to facilitate the posture and movements of the back itself and the other is to help movements of the rest of the body appendages (arms, head, pelvis and legs).The health of these muscle group is important to take stress off the spinal bones and maintain proper function. Most of these muscles are red muscle fibers as they need to maintain their activity for prolonged periods of time. Just to give you an idea - your biceps (arm muscles) have to work only when you bend your arm. But your back muscles have to function all the time - whether you sit, walk, stand or even sleep. But the point is what kind of exercises are good for your back? The best exercises for back include body weight low impact aerobics like brisk walking, swimming, stationary bicycling, extension exercises and yoga. What is important to remember while doing these exercises if that you need to be gentle in your movements and achieve correct "form" - this is possible if you can ask someone (preferably a trainer) to observe and point out whether the back stays straight during the exercise. It has been seen that arching and excessive bending is associated with injury to the back while exercising.
Stay Hydrated and Eat Natural Nutritious diet:The inter vertebral discs contain 70 - 80% water. The muscles and tissues have 60% water content. Therefore, it is important to stay hydrated. In addition, you must eat a nutritious diet consisting of green leafy vegetables, good protein source and just enough carbohydrates. Deficiencies of essential nutrients like Vitamin D can result in diseases like osteoporosis. Another important aspect is to maintain body weight within healthy limits. This is very important as increased belly fat is linked to increased back pain due to mechanical factors.
Lift objects correctly and maintain proper posture: While lifting objects, keep them as close to body as possible. Do not slouch or bend excessively while lifting. Just keep your back straight at all times. You may bend your knees a little if required (see figure). Think before you lift and get help if needed.
While working, you must not sit for more than 45 minutes at a stretch. Walk for two minutes, go to a colleague's desk and say hi or even just drink some water or visit the washroom. Humans evolved as hunter - gatherers and our bodies are more adapted to walking / standing than to sitting for prolonged periods. Those of you who travel more and have to sit for long periods of time also need to follow above tips - avoid prolonged sitting in same posture.While exercising, improper position can do more harm than good. Therefore, proper form and posture is a must.
Bonus tip: Avoid cigarette smoking and those who smoke cigarettes to decrease your chances of having degenerative disc diseases leading to chronic back pain early in life.
Hi doctor, I am having back pain issues from few days and day by day its getting worse. I do not have any accident neither getting hit or something else .its jst started. Pls suggest. Thank you.
Sir I am suffering form foot pain & muscular pain when I going to morning walk .I am walking 2 to3 kilometers & yoga. Then I want your opinions.
I am 26 years old and I ended up twisting my knee 2 months back on 25th of March while dancing due to bad landing and since then I have been struggling to find what the injury actually is. I went for an MRI as advised which showed mild effusion in knee bones and no tears in ligaments and fracture in bones after taking rest for 3 weeks I consulted another doctor who asked to repeat the MRI as the knee was not healed and there was lot of fluid surrounding the knee due to which lot of swelling was there. In 2nd MRI it showed partial tear of ACL grade 2 and break of muscle fibres and mild joint effusion. Please suggest me the best option as the fluid has again surrounded after removing once by Doctor. Doing my exercises but hardly any recovery. Knee is quite stiff and pain is experienced only on the bones part so confused if it is bone injury or ACL injury. Moreover 2 doctors have advised for ACL surgery and 1 advised against it as it is more of a bone injury and a small partial tear of ACL.
Hello doctors intercostal muscle strain I am suffering when I do too much of work can you eliminate the strain which I am facing.
My mother in law suffering from knee pain from the last 4 to 5 yrs. Is she relief from this problem. She visited various Dr. & now she takes medicine VOLTAFLAM 50 when started heavy pain. Any suggestion by you, please.
A stinging pain in the neck that makes you feel broken from the neck joint could be a reason to worry. It is often accompanied by an aching head or a throbbing shoulder joint. Neck pain, such as this occurs due to an injury in the area resulting from sudden back and forth movement of the neck. It is referred to as whiplash as the nature of the pain and subsequent discomfort resembles the snapping of a whip. The pain is more like a sprain, but not exactly so. This can affect athletes or even any person in general who has faced an accident in recent past. Whiplash is characterized by a tearing of ligaments and tendons that connect one bone to another.
Causes of Whiplash:
- Sports that involve contact: Any extracurricular activity involving collisions or other forms of physical contact can cause neck injuries. Football and rugby players frequently suffer from Whiplash.
- Road accidents: Public transport has a host of disadvantages. Reckless driving can make the tendons of your neck tear. Auto accidents cause immense strain on your neck; it can also lead to Whiplash.
- Any kind of physical abuse: If you have gotten into a violent fight with someone your neck could suffer from a Whiplash. Instances of physical abuse where the neck is jerked or punched at can also result in neck strains. Domestic violence often leads to instances of neck strains.
Symptoms related to this condition:
- You may or may not suffer from tinnitus. Tinnitus is a physical disorder where you hear ringing sounds. It is quite distracting.
- Your vision might get blurry.
- You can experience irregular sleep patterns.
- You can find it hard to concentrate on any one thing for more than a while.
- You can grow irritable at the drop of a hat.
- Your memory may fail you. You might find it next to impossible to trace back a day's activity.
Some of the other direct symptoms are:
- Your neck might turn stiff preventing you from moving it left, right, up or down.
- Pangs of pain can be felt in and around your shoulders.
- Your upper arms can grow numb and tender.
- Your head can spin repeatedly or you could feel dizzy.
- Whiplash can also result in serious fatigue. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult an Orthopaedist.
Hello doctor, I am a female aged 42 years and having quite active lifestyle. I walk an hour daily. My problem is recently I have started playing badminton due to which I have pain in my right arm surrounding elbow. I have taken pain killer as well as anti inflammatory meds but with little relief. My friend who is a doctor but a gym, has doubt of me having tennis elbow. Now I have stopped playing badminton altogether and have some relief in pain but not completely. Please suggest some remedy.
Tennis elbow is a type of tendinitis. It is usually the swelling of certain ligaments. It causes pain in the elbow as well as the arm. These ligaments are bands of strong and stretchable tissues that connect the muscles of your lower arm to your elbow. In spite of its name, you can in any case get tennis elbow regardless of the possibility that you have never been close to a tennis court. This is merely a name for the condition and has little to do with the sport. It can affect anyone who indulges in a swinging motion.
Any repetitive exercises that require a tight grip, particularly in cases where the thumb and the initial two fingers are used frequently, may cause tennis elbow. Tennis elbow is the most common reason for patients to see their doctors for elbow torment. It can occur in individuals of all ages; however, it is most common and normal at about the age of forty.
This condition is usually caused when there are repeated contractions of the lower arm muscles that you use to raise your hand and wrist as well as to straighten it. The repetitive movements and pressure to the tissue may bring about a series of little tears in the ligaments that connect the lower arm muscles to the hard surface on the outside of the elbow.
Tennis elbow ordinarily occurs after some time. Dull movements such as holding a racket during a swing can strain the muscles and put a lot of weight on the ligaments. That consistent pulling can cause a small amount of tears in the tissue. Tennis elbow may be caused because of the following reasons:
- Playing tennis
- Playing racquetball
- Playing squash
- Fencing
- Weight lifting or any other stressful exercises involving the muscles
In tennis, the following moves can lead to tennis elbow:
- One-handed back stroke with a poor stance or lose hand
- A late forehand swing bringing a bend in the wrist altogether
- Snapping and turning the wrist while hitting with full power
- As the name suggests, playing tennis, particularly repeated use of the backhand stroke with poor strategy, is a conceivable reason for tennis elbow.
However, a number of other basic arm movements can also cause tennis elbow. It can also affect individuals with particular occupations or while performing leisure activities that require heavy arm movements or gripping, for example, the following:
- Carpentry
- Excessive writing
- Painting
- Raking
- Weaving or knitting
- Utilising plumbing devices
- Driving screws
- Chopping cooking ingredients or vegetables, especially meat
- Repetitive computer mouse utilisation
- Lifting heavy materials or even grocery bags
There are a number of ways to treat a tennis elbow. These include certain over-the-counter (OTC) medicines. If those do not work, seek the help of a specialist or Orthopaedist. He or she can recommend you the right kind of medicines as well as exercises needed for the recovery.
