The 2010-11 season's surprise package pipped Lazio to fourth position and a place in the qualification rounds of Europe's premier club competition.
Although Antonio Di Natale missed a 74th minute penalty, the stalemate still ensured that it would be the Stadio Friuli side and not Lazio which would take the coveted fourth place.Despite the fact that, barring an avalanche of Lazio goals, a point would have been enough for the hosts to achieve their target, they started the game with a real sense of purpose.
Mauricio Isla was the personification of this early desire as he marauded forward at every opportunity. In the seventh minute, one such run ended with him firing an angled drive over after latching on to Alexis Sanchez's prodded through ball.
The Chilean was at the center of things again two minutes later when he neatly stroked the ball into the path of Gokhan Inler, but like Isla before him, he failed to hit the target, dragging wide of the upright from 22 yards.
Udinese came closest to scoring when, in the 19th minute, Serie A top scorer Antonio Di Natale clipped the outside of the post with a fine curling free kick.
However, the reality of the situation – with Lazio leading, a Milan goal on the counter attack could prove exceedingly costly - appeared to sink in and Francesco Guidolin's men gradually began to limit their attacking exuberance.
But this handed Milan the impetus and it threatened Samir Handanovic's goal on a handful of occasions towards the end of the half.
In the 32nd minute Alexandre Pato and Mathieu Flamini worked a neat exchange on the edge of the box before the Brazilian let fly with a powerful effort which, to the home fans' relief, was straight down Handanovic's throat.
Then, five minutes later, Antonio Cassano picked out Kevin-Prince Boateng's back post run with a sumptuous pass which the Ghanaian met with a thunderous left-foot volley that fizzed inches oveur the crossbar.
The final chance of the half was both created and executed by Cassano. The former Sampdoria man danced away from the attention of Pablo Armero and worked a yard of space in which to shoot for goal.
The effort had the power but not the accuracy and flashed wide of Handanovic's right-hand upright, and so the sides went in level at the break, with Udinese safe in the knowledge fourth place rivals Lazio was drawing 2-2 with lowly Lecce.
After the break, it was a full 20 minutes before either side managed a shot on goal when Di Natale raced onto Inler's slide-rule pass and fired off an angled drive which Marco Amelia expertly flipped wide with a double-handed save.
The opportunity appeared to spark Udinese into life and it continued to pile on the pressure in search of an opening goal.
But Udinese did not reckon with the performance of Milan stopper Amelia, who single-handedly denied the hosts with a virtuoso second half performance.
In the 67th minute, he stopped Sanchez with a fine save low to his left, and then in the 74th minute he flew to his left and got the merest of touches on Di Natale's spotkick to tip the ball against the post and wide.
On the one occasion he was beaten all-ends-up, Inler's 30-yard howitzer crashed against the bar and then the post before rebounding to safety.
Although Udinese failed to find the breakthrough the second half performance merited, in the end, the 0-0 draw was more than enough to send the club into the Champions League for only the second time in its history.
Scudetto winners Milan, meanwhile, looked content to end a title-winning season with a respectable away point.

I've recently stopped taking the birth control pill and now I'm starting to notice that I am breaking out. My skin is extremely dry due to this cold winter weather yet I am constantly getting pimples all over my face.
I've tried regular bar soap each night and even proactiv but it just dries my skin out even more.
Any suggestions?
|Vitamin E capsules. on Feb 18, 2014 @ 05:44 am
I'm going through the same thing right now. This time of year is horrible because skin is SO dry, and a lot of products dry it out even more. Personally, I found that buying Vitamin E capsules, breaking them open and rubbing them on my problem areas has helped quite a bit. Then in the Spring I'll go back to Proactiv.
|I feel you on Feb 19, 2014 @ 01:00 pm
I totally get you. I had acne as a teen, and now my skin is a lot better but I still do suffer from break outs especially when I ovulate or on my period. So basically for 2-3 weeks out of the month, I have crappy skin. Not fun.
First, your skin may be overdried, not oily. Overdrying can cause breakouts. Try a gentle, cream, hot cloth, or oil cleanser. Next, use a facial oil (I like sweet almond oil) and then a heavy moisturizer with hydralonic acid.
Try an exfoliating toner, or pads for daily use (like Noxema or Oxy pads) and for stubborn bumps use benzoyl peroxide or tea tree oil or something with salicylic acid.
Also have a few masks on hand. One with bentonite clay and one for moisturizing depending on how your skin feels.
Good luck!
|Hmmm... on Feb 20, 2014 @ 01:44 pm
Oh dear.. I find ProActiv to be the worst! It's like a harsh acid, I find. It works for some but not everyone.
I had the same problem when I went off my birth control.. I know it sounds like it'll clog you up more, but trust me, it won't... moisturize every day! Also exfoliate every few days... not every day, but maybe 2 times a week depending on how dry your skin actually is. This will get rid of the dead layer of skin on top, which is what's clogging your pores and making you break out.
As Alex mentioned, clay masks once a week work wonders... I also use a moisture mask whenever my skin feels exceptionally dry, because clay when used too often does dry your skin more.
|awesome! on Feb 20, 2014 @ 06:35 pm
Thanks ladies. I will definitely try an oil free daily moisturizer. I stopped washing my face but will keep exfoliating every few days.
Thanks a bunch!

Kissing pavement
Mileage: 56.2
August mileage: 231.1
Temperature upon departure: 57
I'm sure seasoned cyclists begin to treat the experience as almost mundane, but for me, there's still nothing like launching off a bicycle at 20 mph to really puncture a perfectly good ride.
Even the sudden monsoon-like downpour that hit me yesterday at mile 28 of the-only-road-out-of-Juneau really wasn't that bad. It had been raining on and off all morning, and I thought, if anything, the thick drops would at least help wash the layer of glacial silt off my clothing. Deep puddles began forming on the rough and remote road. I plowed through them without even thinking about it, until my front wheel dropped into an pothole roughly the size of the Grand Canyon, completely covered by water. I felt the sickening crunch of the rim meeting the pavement through the now-flat tire. After that, all I can remember is the sequence of body parts splashing down - first my left hip, taking the brunt of the fall, followed by my elbow, and then, finally, with a loud "thud," my head ... groaning in a shower of gritty puddle water.
Every time I'm in the midst of a crash, I'm always surrounded by a feeling of unconditional calm. My thoughts turn to an involuntary play-by-play analysis of my situation ... "Road burn there ... That wasn't hard enough to break anything ... I hope this doesn't rip my coat ... Shoot, that sounded like my helmet being destroyed." Then, like an animal darting a moving car - almost mid-skid - I jump up and rush off the road, throw my bicycle in the grass, and spend several shock-filled seconds standing quietly in the right-of-way, building up the courage to inspect the damage. I usually inspect the bike first - not because I'm all that crazed of a gear head, but because it usually feels right to let the adrenaline settle down before I start tearing off clothing layers. My hip was throbbing with pain and I could see a large purple lump forming around the bone, but it moved OK and nothing seemed broken. My elbow was only skinned and my coat was intact. All-in-all, a fairly minor crash, but every step I took hit my hip bruise with streaks of pain, and I did have that nagging problem of being 28 miles from home. After about 15 minutes of standing very still and watching rain pelt that sadistic puddle, I decided that I could at least attempt the 16 miles to the nearest bus station. So I gingerly changed my flat, readjusted my seatpost and set out down the road.
I noticed I couldn't put much pressure on my left side without hitting those pain streaks, so I had to do all the pushing with my right leg. I have definitely had less pleasant rides - but not many - and the ride home was really only salvaged from a "worst ever" designation by an unexpected break in the clouds that brought the first rays of direct sun I have felt in weeks. Still, I passed the bus station feeling much less pain - repetitive motion tends to do that - and I did make it back to the hotel under my own power. But then, as I was mounting my bike on my car roof rack, I noticed papers strewn all over the passenger seat. Turns out some punk broke into my car, rifled through my glove box, and stole all the spare change out of my ash tray - including a handful of wafer-thin nickles that I once placed on train tracks in rural Ontario, which I always held on to for good luck. I tell you, this is not my month.

Although he couldn't name off his stats, Belton says he feels like he's settled in after a challenging start to the season.
"We have round one of the playoffs coming this week against Denham Springs" said Belton. "I'm feeling good now, but in the fist game of the season, I was a little edgy."
"I started getting more confident in my passing and running the more I played" he said. "We're 8-2 but we know that even though Denham Springs is 4-6, you can never judge a team by the record; they have a pretty good defense and I think it's going to be a pretty good game."
With offers on the table from Louisiana Tech and Louisiana-Lafayette, the 2016 star knows that he'll have the opportunity to play at the next level no matter what else happens. While that makes him feel good, he knows he can't rest on those two offers and cease to progress.
"There's lots of stuff for me to improve on over the summer" he said. "I want to be more consistent with my passes and really work on my leadership."
"With a lot of the seniors graduating, I'm going to have to step up and be more of a leader" he said. "Those are the main things."
As far as other schools that are recruiting him, Belton knows he'll have plenty of schools watching him progress.
"LSU, Mississippi State, Arkansas, TCU, all of those(are talking to him)" said Belton. "I talk to Coach Burns from TCU and we have a pretty good relationship."
"They have three guys from West Monroe that play for TCU so I stay in touch with them and I talk to Coach Burns when I call up there; he's a real good guy."
With seemingly an eternity until signing day 2016, Belton will have plenty of time to pull in more scholarships. Will the Frogs stay hot on his trail or will other teams move in and overshadow them?

You could also 'goggle' Celtic Solstice or www.Quiltville.com or Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
So excited about Bonnie's new mystery I think I am going to do the smaller one. Have 2 king size quilts already. The color combos are great but may have to change out a color or two or use different hues of her choices. Trying to use up my stash and scraps. I have completed Easy Street and Lazy Sunday and they are ready for there new homes. I do have Tulip Fields in the works also that is in one of Bonnie's books. Can not wait to get started and I had bought the tri rec rulers for a class I was going to take and never did so this is perfect.
I took a class on using the tri-rec ruler around 6 years ago. I thought it was confusing, but I know Bonnie will explain it so I can use it again.
Kwiltcrazy - here is the link to Bonnie's message:\
"You have enough quilts made when your soul is filled, your creativity satisfied and your fingers just won't work anymore."
Does anyone have a picture of the tri-rec ruler you're talking about for the Bonnie Hunter mystery. (Oops - JeanieG, I just re-read your message. I'll check that link.) Here are a couple of pictures of the ruler we used for the class I took with her in 2011.
I want to use my stash and don't know if I have her colors. I like her colors but am desperate to reduce the amount of fabric I have. You guys may have to help me pick which of my own stash I use.
QuiltingNinaSue, when is your surgery? I'm sure you'll be glad when you've had it.
CindyA, my cataract surgery is Nov 1st. Thank you for asking.
Here is a photo of my ruler. I think that the packaging is different now, I know it is for the Easy Angle and Companion Angle rulers I just saw at Jo-Ann's.
"You have enough quilts made when your soul is filled, your creativity satisfied and your fingers just won't work anymore."
thanks for all the help with the Bonnie Hunter web site
JeanieG, I have a ruler like you do. I love my rulers and that is what I used in my Pansy Passion II quilt throw. Originally the rulers did the 54-40 block.
I love what everyone has finished so far in the SYE blocks..bright colors, excellent jobs on all of them. Impossible to pick a favorite of all the blocks. I do not know if I am making a quilt or table runners, time will tell the tale. It is fun and exciting to see the many ways of the making the blocks with the colors used and looking so different from one another. Unique and lovely, each in their own right, and each one so well done. Pat yourselves on the back for an excellent job on each block.
just wondering- are we going to have a 'new spot' to post our November blocks? I've not seen any mention of November blocks & today is the 3rd...just checking since I seem to have pages of 'new posts' I've not had time to browse- don't want to miss it .
hiding away in my stash where i'm warm, safe and happy

The traditional view of Cheltenham is that of an affluent town, home to prestigious boarding schools, world-respected music festivals and dinky boutique shops.
That's one side of the town, but there are other strong and distinctive cultures, most of which make their way through the doors of Cheltenham public library, where I work.
In fact, the beauty of the place is that anyone can walk in and invariably they do...
There's the woman who fought with the Dutch resistance during the Second World War. Or the children who persuade me to create Despicable Me minions, all of us trying to learn the banana language.
Increasingly, I have met a great many job seekers – all with tales to tell. Some have been made redundant right before retirement age; some are starting again, retraining from scratch.
Many are learning to use computers for the first time in their working lives – and these computer beginners are not so old, many in their late 20s and 30s. They now need access to a computer, the internet and the requisite ICT skills to find a job or receive jobseeker's benefit. It's to the library that they turn.
The library is a beautiful Victorian building, topped with a statue of Shakespeare and, despite the recent cuts to the Gloucestershire library service, I like to imagine it standing proud, a force for progress.
Or so it always seemed. However, Cheltenham library, like all of the county's libraries, has had to face the most severe cuts in recent history. So while the building still stands tall, staff are stretched, often dealing with the workloads of two or three people. In line with national trends, our numbers have been heavily cut.
For many of us who went on strike last Thursday, the dismal below inflation pay offer was not the only reason that got us out on the picket lines (for the first time in many cases). It was also about fighting against the erosion of a service that helps so many local people.
Our music's a riot
My other "job" tends to bring with it a little more noise than the library allows. Gloucestershire is full of musicians – jazz lovers and classical aficionados yes, but also reggae bands, post-hardcore bands, socialist choirs, funk bands, neu-folk bands and punk bands.
My band is a messy riot grrl outfit inspired by the likes of Pussy Riot, Bikini Kill and Sleater-Kinney. Our bassist and I may just be learning how to play our instruments, but we have had no problem in writing feminist, socialist, "time for action" pop songs. The loud harmonies help – managing to cover up some of the more confusing chord changes!
The joy of free speech
Writing music for the band leads to writing a speech for the post-march rally at Gloucester's Shire Hall. I was asked to speak by our local Unison branch – my first time speaking at a rally. I have many concerns – waffling on for too long; wasting an opportunity to speak to people I respect and care for; boring them; and, yep I'm vain enough to worry about not getting cheered.
But on the day, I feel a surge of joy to be among so many people all united to make things better. We hoist up our banner, like a huge sail in the wind. When I am given the microphone, I am so overcome and so moved by all the people I have met and marched with over the previous few days. But mostly I think of the people I work alongside everyday at the library.
I put my fist in the air and pour my heart out... It's a move I'll try to incorporate the next time I'm on stage with the band.

The Philadelphia Union's first run into the later rounds of the U.S. Open Cup in team history came to an end Wednesday night, but manager John Hackworth thinks the 2-0 semifinal loss to Sporting Kansas City is a great opportunity for his team to grow.
"This is a great game for us to learn from," Hackworth said. "There are a lot of things that we can use from this game moving forward. When you dissect this kind of game, and you look at it, you can get better. It's terribly disappointing, but this is one of those very teachable moments."
While Philadelphia may have come up short in their bid to capture the first trophy in the franchise's three years of existence, the team has improved drastically since the run began. The Union are 6-3-0 in league and Open Cup play since beginning their cup run with a win over the Rochester Rhinos on May 29.
"It gave a team something really to play for at a time when they didn't have anything to play for," Hackworth said. "It allowed us to get back some confidence against some really good teams."
More notes from the Union are after the jump:
Despite conceding two goals in the loss to Sporting KC, the Union defense has performed well in the last few games under Hackworth. A key part of that has been Amobi Okugo, who has impressed in his role as a centerback after transitioning there from the midfield due to a lack of team depth at the position. But with newly signed defender Bakary Soumare soon to debut, Hackworth will have a decision to make as to which player he should include in his starting lineup.
"Amobi was fantastic again, and I think when a player is playing like that there's no way you're going to replace him," Hackworth said. "So hopefully [Soumare] gets back soon, and that'll be some tough decisions. But crazier things have already happened, like injuries. We're on a long stretch of games here, so it's good to have that depth."
Soumare has yet to debut for Philadelphia after signing in June. He had gone through surgery two months prior to signing, and he was listed as doubtful prior to the Open Cup semifinals.
Saturday will mark the Union's first-ever meeting with the expansion Montreal Impact. Montreal sits one spot above Philadelphia in the standings, with 21 points to the Union's 17. However, the Impact have played four more games than the Union. In their last game, Montreal came from behind to defeat the Columbus Crew, 2-1, last Saturday.
For Philadelphia, fatigue is starting to become a factor, as Saturday's meeting with Montreal will be the team's seventh game in 21 days.
"We've spent a lot of energy in the last few games," captain Carlos Valdes said. "I think it's normal when your legs feel heavy. We know we have a lot of games in July, and mentally we have to be in a better condition. It's hard for us, because we are playing almost every three days. The most important thing is to continue to work hard."
The game comes during an important stretch for the Union, who will play their second of seven straight league games against Eastern Conference competition.
I still want to move Okugo back to DM as soon as possible. Everything he is showing can be transferred to his DM position, and he will truly be able to boss around a midfield.
Well, as a USMNT fan first, I gotta say that I want to see Okugo stay at centerback. We have defensive midfielders coming out of our EARS for the nats…but young centerbacks that have the passing ability of a midfielder?? We desperately need more young centerback prospects for the National team. Sorry Union.
Esteban de la Sexface
Gotta keep Okugo on the field and, if Soumare is as good as advertised, I'd prefer to see Gomez dropped with Okugo moving into MF.
I agree. After last night I was not very impressed with Gomez or Lahoud. Even though Gomez does seem to score.

If you don't want or can't afford your timeshare any more, the promise of a lifetime of vacations can turn into a nightmare of ongoing payments and maintenance fees. Many timeshares are hard to sell. According to the Federal Trade Commission, the resale market is filled with shady operators, as well, making an attempt to sell your unit risky. While you might be tempted to give your timeshare back to the resort, if you don't do it in the right way you could be subject to a new set of problems.
Maintenance Fees
When you bought your timeshare, you either bought an actual piece of real estate or a prepaid lease that carried many of the same responsibilities of real estate ownership. Like any property, your timeshare is subject to property taxes and to needing maintenance both on an ongoing basis -- like mowing the lawn -- and in terms of larger repairs -- like renovating kitchens or replacing roofs. Those costs get billed back to you as maintenance fees, which you have to pay.
Properties with Mortgages
When you have a mortgage on your property, you may be stuck with it. Like any mortgage, a timeshare loan has two pieces -- the mortgage that lets the lender take the property if you don't pay and the promissory note where you agree to pay. If you stop paying on the property, the lender will foreclose on the timeshare, but it can then come after you for its losses under the loan through a deficiency judgment.
Deedbacks With Permission
If you'd like to get rid of your timeshare, your developer may allow you to deed it back. In a deedback, you sign the deed of your property or interest over to the owner. You probably won't get any money for it -- and may even pay a transfer fee -- but you will get out of responsibility for it and for its maintenance fees. Unfortunately, many timeshare complexes won't accept a deedback, since they'd have to make up some or all of your maintenance fees from someone else.
Deedbacks Without Permission
You might be tempted to just give your timeshare back to your resort by signing a quit claim deed, giving it ownership of the property. Unfortunately, you can't transfer a property to an unwilling recipient. As such, if you quit claim your property to the resort owner, it wouldn't be considered a legal transfer, and you won't get out of liability for the property.
Now What
If your timeshare property's manager or developer isn't open to taking back your property, your options are very limited. If you stop paying your maintenance fees, you'll eventually be foreclosed on, which will take the property off of your hands. It'll also damage your credit and could leave you liable for the fees, anyways. Your other option is to try to give the property to someone else or sell it for whatever you can get.

Recent work showed an increased risk of cervical and lumbar intervertebral disc (IVD) herniations in astronauts. The European Space Agency asked the authors to advise on the underlying pathophysiology of this increased risk, to identify predisposing factors and possible interventions and to suggest research priorities.
The authors performed a narrative literature review of the possible mechanisms, and conducted a survey within the team to prioritize research and prevention approaches.
Results and conclusions
Based on literature review the most likely cause for lumbar IVD herniations was concluded to be swelling of the IVD in the unloaded condition during spaceflight. For the cervical IVDs, the knowledge base is too limited to postulate a likely mechanism or recommend approaches for prevention. Basic research on the impact of (un)loading on the cervical IVD and translational research is needed. The highest priority prevention approach for the lumbar spine was post-flight care avoiding activities involving spinal flexion, followed by passive spinal loading in spaceflight and exercises to reduce IVD hyper-hydration post-flight.
KeywordsProlapse Atrophy Back pain Muscle Inactivity Bed rest
The problem: disc herniations in astronauts
The European Space Agency (ESA) asked the authors to advise on why this higher rate of IVD herniations occurs in astronauts and what could be done about it. The main question is not why astronauts get herniations but rather: Why do they get more than the general population? How come this increase persists often months after the spaceflight is over? Also, why do so many herniations affect the cervical spine? An additional question of interest is: What does the astronaut experience tell us about IVD herniation in the normal population? The current paper reports on our literature review, discussions, conclusions and suggestions for future work.
What are the likely mechanisms?
Increase in lumbar disc hydration as a result of reduced spinal loads in space
In our opinion, the most probable mechanism, at least for the lumbar spine, is swelling of the IVD in the unloaded condition during spaceflight. The overhydrated disc is then vulnerable to an IVD herniation, especially when the pressures on the lumbar spine are increased under flexion during or immediately after spaceflight. This mechanism is supported by mechanical experiments on cadaveric and animal spines which have shown that severe loading in combined bending and compression can cause apparently normal lumbar IVDs to herniate [2, 3], and that herniation is more likely when the IVDs are fully hydrated [4].
Mechanisms for the cervical spine unclear: basic research is needed
For the cervical spine little data on possible herniation mechanisms are available. There are no published data from astronauts on changes in the cervical IVDs during spaceflight and while spinal length does increase during spaceflight [5, 6], it is not clear which spinal region contributes to this lengthening. Data from studies on Earth show that some degree of cervical spine lengthening occurs with recumbency [26, 27]. There are a number of differences between cervical and lumbar discs: in composition [28], anatomy [29] and biomechanical characteristics [30]. However, these data do not help us understand why the risk of IVD herniation is much more elevated at the cervical spine than at the lumbar spine in astronauts. Overall, a mechanism of increased cervical IVD injury risk due to increased IVD size and hydration may be possible, but there are no published data available to substantiate this hypothesis. Basic research on the cervical IVDs is needed.
Muscle changes
Muscle weakness and/or dysfunction may lead to risk of injury and may also predispose to herniation. It has been established that muscle atrophy occurs around the lumbar spine during spaceflight [31]. Data from bed rest on Earth suggest that the time course of lumbar muscle size recovery [14, 16, 32, 33] and the recovery of lumbar extension torque [16] is within "weeks" after bed rest. However, muscle function, as measured by superficial electromyography recordings [34, 35], may take "months" to recover. Overall, lumbar muscle weakness and dysfunction may well contribute to initial risk and may present an increased injury risk for weeks to months. Furthermore, on the basis of data on the (disturbed) control of posture after spaceflight [36, 37], it is reasonable to assume that altered sensorimotor control after spaceflight may lead to decreased protection of the IVD by the muscular system.
At the cervical spine, the (neuro)muscular adaptation is much less clear, again due to a paucity of data. What we do know is that no atrophy of the cervical extensor muscles was seen in nine astronauts measured after spaceflight [31]. Data from studies of neck pain suggest that the deep cervical extensors [38] and deep cervical flexors [39] may be important for protecting the spine, yet muscle groups such as these have not been examined in astronauts in any detail. In prolonged bed rest, hypertrophy of most of the cervical muscles was seen [40], but as argued in that publication, prolonged bed rest might not be a good model for the effects of spaceflight on the cervical spine region. Further data are required on the response of the cervical spine musculature to weightlessness.
Ergonomic issues
Cumulative injury to the IVD prior to spaceflight
The increased IVD herniation incidence in astronauts could result from cumulative IVD injury occurring prior to the spaceflights. Johnston et al. [1] observed an increased risk of IVD herniation upon entering the astronaut program. This could potentially be due to pre-existing conditions or the training program itself.
Since a number of astronauts had previously been fighter pilots, Johnston et al. [1] evaluated whether this prior history may be a predictive factor for IVD herniation, but they did not find any significant relationship. Performing high-G manoeuvres [41], pilot ejection [42], and helicopter vibration [43] present risk factors for injury to the neck. Potentially, the resulting high-compressive forces on the spine could result in end plate fractures, then leading to adjacent IVD degeneration [44]. Alternatively, the IVD injuries could have occurred whilst astronauts were still fighter pilots and that the injuries were only picked up as part of medical management once they entered the astronaut program. However, the longitudinal data available [45] and meta-analysis of cross-sectional data [46] suggest that the majority of degenerative changes in the IVDs of fighter pilots are due to normal ageing and not the fighter pilot occupation per se.
Furthermore, the astronaut selection process might "select" people at higher risk of IVD problems. For example, in the Finnish Air Force, one of the selection criteria for fighter pilots is peak power on a cycling ergometry test. Experience (unpublished observations; R. Sovelius) has been that applicants who are weightlifters or ice-hockey players typically perform better on these tests. Weightlifters typically show more degenerative IVD changes [47]. It could be that persons selected for astronaut training, due to their previous sporting pursuits, are at risk for IVD problems.
Long-term effect of spaceflight on spinal tissues
Spaceflights may have an effect on IVD physiology and, in the long run, possibly also have an impact on the rate of IVD degeneration. This may thereby have an influence on medium to long-term IVD injury risk. Animal models investigating the IVD in spaceflight [48, 49], hindlimb suspension [50, 51, 52, 53] and tail vertebra immobilisation [54, 55] have typically [48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 55], but not always [54], found losses in glycosaminoglycan content. However, the extent to which animal models can be used as a model of human IVD changes in spaceflight remains an open question [56]. It is also unclear to what extent such changes in IVD composition occur in humans in unloading, and further if and how any such changes affect the herniation risk. In vitro work has shown that both glycosaminoglycan synthesis rates fall [57, 58, 59] and production of proteases is able to degrade the IVD increases [60] with the decrease in osmolarity arising from IVD swelling. Such changes in cellular activity could be responsible for the loss of glycosaminoglycans seen in fast-metabolising small animal IVDs. However, in the much larger and relatively acellular human IVDs, the half-life of the proteoglycan aggrecan, a major component of the IVD matrix and responsible for regulating IVD swelling pressure [61], is around 12 years for normal IVDs and 8 years for degenerate IVDs [62]. Hence, spaceflight appears too short for such changes in cellular activity to influence human IVD composition noticeably, at least during the period when susceptibility to herniation is increased.
Essentially nothing is known about the adaptation of the spinal ligamentous system to weightlessness. IVD swelling increases tension in the intervertebral ligaments, so that they may provide greater resistance to spinal flexion [4, 66]. Increased ligament tension would increase IVD compression, especially when the spine is flexed, and this could increase the risk of IVD herniations due to spaceflight. The role of the spinal ligaments in bending moments [67] or in proprioceptive function may be disturbed after spaceflight, but data to support this are lacking.
How can we best improve our understanding of the problem?
The European Space Agency requested advice on research priorities to better understand the issue of IVD herniations in astronauts. In our discussions, some specific research questions were suggested and in other instances, general research approaches aimed at increasing our knowledge, albeit without a specific hypothesis, were put forward. Each of these had their scientific merit and each of them had differing levels of difficulty of implementation, financial cost and time cost. Research ideas were ranked by the authors and those gained wider support within the team were:
Using existing astronaut data Other data from astronaut medical records (e.g. body height) may give insight into spinal adaptation after spaceflight. Also, gaining more detailed information on the existing IVD herniation events (e.g. which vertebral level, location of the herniation, time of day of herniation, etc.) would be insightful. Although these data will likely be exhausted quickly, we consider it prudent to examine such data before planning new experiments.
Gaining basic information on the cervical spine A common theme in our discussions and review of the literature was that we lack even basic information on the impact of spaceflight on the cervical spine. For basic clinical, biomechanical and physiological sciences, research has been done mostly on the lumbar spine, and much less on the cervical spine. Topics could include examining diurnal variation in the cervical discs, understanding changes in neck musculature in spaceflight, and understanding loading patterns that cause cervical disc herniation.
Better understanding lumbar IVD diurnal changes Diurnal variation in the lumbar IVDs may be altered after spaceflight and more data on this will improve our understanding of lumbar IVD herniation risk after spaceflight. Also, using diurnal variation of lumbar IVDs is probably a useful model to understand the likely effects of spaceflight on the lumbar spine.
Minor modification of medical data collection in astronauts This could help to answer questions without doing complex studies. For example, consistent data collection on body height with standard equipment and information on body shape would be of use. Of course, any additional time taken from an astronaut's schedule will be seen critically by mission organisers, so this may be a limiting factor.
Assessing astronauts that have already flown Depending on research question, this could be a comparatively low-cost method to test certain hypotheses without the efforts or cost of a spaceflight or an Earth-bound bed rest study. There are some practical impediments to this strategy, such as gaining access to the ex-astronauts, but it is nonetheless possible.
Larger modification of medical data collection in astronauts For example, is it possible to consider a whole-body magnetic resonance imaging scan pre- and post-flight? With, for example, three-dimensional sequences any plane of the body can be reconstructed to enable researchers to examine the body plane of interest. No matter how useful the data may be, the administrative and scheduling challenges of implementing new standard medical examinations will present a limiting factor.
There were other ideas that gained some support within the team. These represent lower priority options that could be targeted once the primary approaches are exhausted.
Understanding which loading protocols help to prevent IVD changes with unloading The available bed rest data on the impact of exercise in bed rest on the lumbar discs has been summarised in earlier work [16], but there are a number of open questions for the lumbar spine with a complete lack of information for the cervical spine.
Understanding changes at the vertebral end plate It is unclear how spaceflight and spine unloading might distort or affect the function of the end plate (see also Fig. 7).
Understanding changes in (eccentric) muscle function and sensorimotor control A better understanding of changes in muscle function will help us to guide rehabilitation processes better. Proprioception and motor processing are impacted in microgravity [36]. Similar to muscle function, the controller of motor output could play a role in preventing injury to the spine and a better understanding of this system is warranted.
Understanding why the lumbar IVDs remain larger for some time after spaceflight simulation (bedrest) Earlier findings have indicated that the lumbar IVDs remain larger than baseline levels some weeks or months after bed rest. It may be relevant to injury risk to understand why this effect occurs.
Understanding what impact changing exercise devices on the ISS has had A new "advanced resistive exercise device" has been put in use on the International Space Station. This research question asks what impact, if any, the new higher load device had on back pain and IVD injury risk post-flight.
What can we do to reduce the incidence of IVD herniations in astronauts?
One of the key issues is because our knowledge of the cervical spine is so limited, it is impossible to provide any recommendations for countermeasures against cervical IVD herniation without some basic spaceflight-related and clinical research.
In general: avoid spinal flexion and compression activities. This includes care with daily tasks, such as when putting ones socks on, and also use of devices to assist in activities to avoid such positions.
Spend more time in lying in the days after flight.
Consider some kind of orthosis or taping for the lumbar spine, and for the cervical spine a neck collar.
After flight: walking around gently, but otherwise further research is required on what kinds of exercise protocols are better for loading the disc when it is hyper-hydrated.
The duration for which such "care with spinal flexion activities" protocols should be implemented should last for a few weeks. However, further work is needed to better define this time frame.
As increase in disc hydration in space appears to be the major risk factor in the lumbar spine at least, mechanisms which attempt to counteract such changes could potentially lower herniation risk. Passive spinal loading throughout spaceflight using, for example, the "skinsuit" [68] could reduce IVD changes in-flight through continual loading of the spine. However, such compression suits can be, according to anecdotal reports, uncomfortable and compliance will need to be considered. Exercise approaches may also reduce (lumbar) IVD hyper-hydration and size. Currently the "fetal tuck" position is used by astronauts to relieve low back pain in spaceflight [69], caution should be applied when considering this as a standard countermeasure: this kind of spinal loading differs from the normal functional loading patterns of the spine. We suggest that axial loading of the spine in a neutral posture would be better. Furthermore, it would be beneficial to optimise the training programs on exercise devices on the ISS to avoid inappropriate loading and to consider post-flight exercise with partial unloading.
What can astronaut IVD herniations tell us about herniations in the normal population?
Astronauts are not a very large population, whereas IVD herniations in Earth-bound populations are an important and common diagnosis causing substantial disability. The astronaut data highlight risk factors for IVD herniation in the general population, specifically that risk of herniation likely varies with time of day, with risks possibly highest in the morning after waking from an overnight rest. Whilst there have been no direct studies on diurnal variation in incidence of herniation, there are data on back pain. One study on acute-onset low back pain [70] noted that, of those individuals who could recall when pain onset started, 46 % of these reported pain beginning between 8 a.m. and midday. Another study in hospital employees [71] reported that the mean time of day for low back injury was in the morning. Similarly a study [72] reported the highest rates of back injury in the "day shift" (7 a.m.–4 p.m.), but did not differentiate the time of the day any further. Finally, a crossover design intervention study [73] in people with recurrent low back pain showed that instruction to control spinal flexion activities in the early morning reduced number of days with pain, pain intensity and medication use.
Overall, the data from astronauts and bed rest support the idea that diurnal changes in the spine do influence injury risk in Earth-bound populations and suggest modalities for reducing these risks. The ideas are equally applicable to individuals subject to bed rest for medical reasons (e.g. post-surgery, or prolonged care in an intensive care unit). Furthermore, the findings also help to highlight risk window periods for activities such as heavy lifting and spine flexion.
The issue of IVD herniations in astronauts also highlights the role of mechanical loading in IVD herniation in general. Although we cannot rule out an impact of spaceflight on medium to long-term IVD degeneration post-flight in the relatively short duration of a spaceflight the IVD is not likely to degenerate. Thus, the spike of IVD herniation incidence observed by Johnston et al. [1] immediately after spaceflight emphasises the mechanics of internal IVD forces and influence of external forces on IVD herniation.
Concluding remarks
In conclusion, the current review examined available data trying to define reasons why astronauts are at a higher risk for IVD herniations. For the lumbar IVD, the most likely contributing factor is swelling of the IVDs under weightlessness. However, for the cervical IVDs, the database is so limited that we cannot postulate a likely mechanism or recommend approaches for prevention. Basic research on the cervical spine, such as the impact of spaceflight and simulation (e.g. diurnal variation) as well as basic clinical, biomechanical and physiological research on the cervical IVDs is required. To better understand the problem of IVD herniations in astronauts we further advise focussing first on using existing astronaut data and assessing astronauts that have already flown in case–control studies. Further suggestions include: modification of medical data collection within the realms possible within space agencies and examining diurnal lumbar IVD variation both in astronauts after spaceflight as well as validated ground-based models. In the Earth-bound population, the current work highlights the potential impact of diurnal variation on IVD injury risk and also the role of mechanical loading of the IVD for the risk of experiencing herniations in general.

DAY 4 (Monday) "Tuscany and the Countryside"
... I made it to our B & B called " Villa LaSosta" near the heart of Florence. It was a beautiful, old, stately home run by a brother and sister whose family had once owned large banana plantations in Africa.
After getting settled in our room, we had some wine and snacks and then took a short nap. When we awoke we took a 20 minute walk into the city and found a ...
Things that I'll miss
The countdown to the end is no longer in weeks, but in days, which makes it seem like going home is REALLY just around the corner. I have officially been living in a foreign country for three months, which I think is kind of remarkable. I feel like I'm now a part of special club. You silly Americans just wouldn't understand.
I didn't know what to expect out of this whole thing, but I definitely thought I would be much better at understanding Italian. ...
Nice cake and free souvenirs from Gucci Museo
... cover stealing bumpkins lol. The lady apologised and said she wasn't the curator and actually didn't have much knowledge about these things. We assured her that we were fine with looking around by ourselves.
We went into the back of the bookstore where there was a small boutique and an enthusiastic retail assistant who tried to ...

There was also an interactive room at the end where you could play with replicas of some of the instruments - very cool!
Also tried to do some shopping but didn`t buy too much as we had weight restrictions for our flight to Madrid.

Followed by cream caramel, with biscotti and a glass of a very strong liquor like drink called vin santo (translated to holy wine), that you dip the biscotti into. Florence, known for its beautifully crafted leather offered us a plethora of wallets, belts, handbags, jackets and anything else you can imagine in ...

Woolworths stores stock Ladybird children's clothes. The group also sells more than £40m of adult clothing a year through 16 Big W discount stores. Peacocks supplies the clothes for Big W and is involved with a trial scheme to supply a limited range of basic clothing to Woolworths.
Neither Woolworths nor Peacocks will comment on talks. But senior sources say Woolworths chief executive Gerald Corbett has met Richard Kirk, his opposite number at Peacocks.
Peacocks is thought to be lukewarm about the idea unless Woolworths is prepared to make an offer that would pay investors largely in cash rather than in new Woolworths shares. Woolworths is valued at more than £600m - about five times as much as Peacocks.

On November 5, 2009, Fannie Mae announced a program that could furnish a temporary break to homeowners who can't pay their mortgages. As designed the program would allow homeowners the option of transferring their title to Fannie Mae and renting back their homes at a market rate for a year, on a month-to-month basis.
Cited as advantages: the lender needn't engage in the exacting, expensive and time-consuming foreclosure process, families stay in their homes without any uncertainty and with less vandalism and fewer overgrown yards, neighborhoods are more stable, and less damage is caused to borrower's credit history. It appears that the program is designed to help homeowners in arrears who don't qualify to modify their loans, but who want to stay in their homes. Critics worry that this newest offering will further destabilize the mortgage giant which has spiraling losses to cope with already even after billions of dollars of public support. Like a hidden sort of inventory, qualifying homes, they argue, will eventually have to be dumped back on the market, only postponing what Fannie Mae should have done originally, and prolonging recovery.
National publications have singled out Phoenix as a place where the program should be particularly attractive because of the exaggerated decline of our real estate market. A management company runs the Deed for Lease program and rates are based on the market. Homeowners have to prove they can afford these rents, and must live there as a primary residence. Freddie Mac launched a program in March that required that foreclosures be completed and supplied only month-to-month loans — there is no public data that describes how many people participated in that similar program, fueling the suspicion that it was a small percentage.
John Back, a CPA and partner at J.J. Swart & Co./Valley Accounting, who specializes in real estate transactions and their implications, tends to agree with critics of the plan, who feel that participating homeowners are simply postponing the inevitable. Says Back:
The Fannie Mae Deed for Lease Program has some merit in that it allows homeowners to stay in their homes as market-rate renters for up to one year after losing ownership of the homes. The merits of the program are curious to me because while the program does allow the homeowner to avoid the disruption of moving right away and it reduces their monthly payment down to a market rent amount; it is only putting off the inevitable move to more affordable living arrangements. I would think the more logical way to handle this is to simply consider this a loan modification and let the homeowner continue to occupy and own their home on more affordable terms.
As with any such decisions, the homeowner is well-advised to consider other implications. These are critically important decisions. For example, Mr. Back comments on taxes:
The tax implications are simple on their surface. Basically, the homeowner loses itemized deductions for mortgage interest and property taxes, on the other hand they are paying a lot less because they are renting at market rates rather than paying a mortgage. So cash flow is the key determinant here, not tax savings.
Foreclosure becomes very complicated. Under President Obama's Mortgage Debt Relief Act non-recourse gains on debt foregiveness are not taxable up to $2 million for a married couple who are occupants of the home. Investment properties do not get any benefit. However, with proper planning, investment properties can create tax benefits instead of tax liabilities.
There are a forest of tools out there at one's disposal; it is important to not simply focus on the trees. With loan modifications, short sales, foreclosures, deeds-in-lieu and many other combinations now supplemented by the programs of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, it is fitting to consider the advice Back gives his clients: "gather all of their loan documents and have your lawyer and your CPA evaluate insolvency, recourse debt provisions, gain or loss on the transaction for investment properties and tax planning before they enter into any transaction with the lender. It is often one of the biggest financial decisions, with the biggest income tax consequences, that anyone will ever face."
