Meet Mojave Max
Meet Mojave Max
Hi, I'm Mojave Max!
I am the official mascot for the Clark County Desert Conservation Program and its partners. Since 1995 I've been telling folks about native species, what they can do to protect their local environments, and how to safely explore and enjoy our desert!
Please look around my website and learn all about how you can respect, protect, and enjoy our wonderful desert!
Did you know?
Did you know that Mojave Max is a live Desert Tortoise who lives at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area? Like other Southern Nevada reptiles, Max enters a burrow to brumate (the reptilian form of hibernation) every winter and emerges every spring. Mojave Max's emergence marks the unofficial start of spring in Southern Nevada. Mojave Max was born in 1990 and calls Red Rock Canyon his home.
What Does Mojave Max Do?
Mojave Max has hosted the annual Mojave Max Emergence Contest since 2000 and has come to be known as quite a weather indicator for the west coast.
The Mojave Max mascot visits schools and teaches students about the Mojave Desert that we live in, all about Desert Tortoises like himself, and he also tells students all about the Mojave Max Emergence contest.
Mojave Max would love to be a part of your school curriculum. If you're interested in having the Mojave Max mascot visit your school, talk about desert tortoises, and tell you more about the Mojave Max Emergence contest, please have your teacher contact Red Rock Canyon Interpretive Association and request a Mojave Max Assembly application. You can email Andy Hart at Southern Nevada Conservancy or telephone him at 702-258-8265.
Maybe Mojave Max can visit your school next!! Until then, check out the Kid's Adventure page and the Resources section of the website to find fun things to do with Mojave Max.
Mojave Max wants you to enjoy our beautiful desert. Remember that you can help preserve our desert by doing the following:
- Always stash your trash. Please don't litter.
- Leave soils, rocks, plants, and animals alone.
- Stay on established roads and trails.
- Please respect, protect, and enjoy our desert!
Resources for students and teachers
Mojave Max believes in enjoying his desert home and he wants everyone to learn how to keep it safe, how to Respect it, Protect it, and Enjoy it. To do that, he and his friends have collected many fun resources that will help you get started exploring his world.

Google Platform Aggregates World Constitutions For Political Enthusiasts
An online database collates all political documents from countries all over the globe.
Google Ideas partnered up with the Comparative Constitutions Project to build Constitute, a new online databased that digitizes and makes available the world's constitutions. Constitute was designed to help people interact with their political institutions and allow legal document drafters to have access to critical texts. Moreover, Google and its partners aimed to provide drafters with a better tool for constitution writing and editing.
Constitute enables people to read, search, and compare constitutions systematically across a wide range of topics – using a new medium. The site works by filtering charters categorized by the document's creation date or by interested topic. Constitute intensely indexed details within the test as well as established policies.
The best part about Constitute is that it does not discriminate; anyone can use the site.

text: Mean Girl?Lindsay Lohan: Jail Sentence, Mug Shot, Theft & More Troubles (Photos)Fresh off 'Liz and Dick,' LiLo was arrested … again. A look at the child star turned repeat offender.The Daily Beast11.29.12 9:40 PM ETThe Life and Career of Lindsay Lohan2012 was supposed to be the year of Lindsay Lohan's comeback—but it didn't exactly turn out that way. See a timeline of her troubled life and career, from her fresh-faced starring role in The Parent Trap to her nude Playboy spread to her latest arrest. Everett CollectionThe Parent TrapBorn in New York City on July 2, 1986, Lohan signed on as a Ford model by age 3, and during elementary school acted in commercials for companies including Pizza Hut, Gap, Wendy's, and Jell-O. In 1998, Lohan appeared in her first film, The Parent Trap, alongside Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson. Director Nancy Meyers likened Lohan to a young Diane Keaton. Two Disney made-for-TV movies followed: Life-Size (2000) and Get a Clue (2002). INFphotoFreaky FridayThe first of her many romances in the spotlight, Lohan dated singer Aaron Carter from January 2002 to April 2003. After she learned that Carter had taken up with Lizzie McGuire star Hilary Duff at the same time, public badmouthing between the teen stars ensued—and has continued up to this year. (In May, Carter told CNN, of Lohan's recent legal woes, "She deserves it. I'm not gonna give any sympathy for somebody who makes mistakes. You need to take fault for your own actions in life.") In 2003, Lohan starred alongside Jamie Lee Curtis in Freaky Friday, earning her an award for breakthrough female performance at the MTV Movie Awards the next year. Everything was coming up roses for LiLo. Everett CollectionMean GirlsThings only got better from there: at 17, Lohan starred in the hit movie Mean Girls, which opened at No. 1, grossed more than $129 million worldwide, and is quoted by teen girls to this day. That same year, she also became the youngest-ever host of the MTV Movie Awards; released her debut album, Speak; got into her first car accident (two more would follow); and briefly dated 24-year-old That '70s Show star Wilmer Valderrama. Oh, and during the shooting of Herbie: Fully Loaded, she was hospitalized with a kidney infection due to stress. X17Party TimeLohan gained a party-girl reputation in 2004 and 2005, often going to L.A. clubs with paparazzi favorites Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton. (Not so coincidentally, around the same time, she launched her pop-music career.) "I'm 17. I'm learning, and I'd rather make my own mistakes and learn from them than have to be sheltered my whole life," Lohan told People magazine in 2004. In 2005, Lohan became the first star to have a Mattel My Scene celebrity doll; released her second album, A Little More Personal (Raw); and was told that her parents were legally separating (the messy divorce was finalized two years later). WireImage / Getty ImagesWeighty IssuesLohan, then 19, showed off a scary-skinny frame in Beverly Hills in May 2005. She later told Vanity Fair: "I knew I had a problem and I couldn't admit it ... My arms were disgusting. I had no arms." She went so far as to say, "I was making myself sick," before claiming her apparent admission of bulimia was misconstrued." Lohan told Vanity Fair that Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels and star Tina Fey staged an intervention: "[They] sat me down, literally before I was going to do [SNL], and they said, 'You need to take care of yourself. We care about you too much, and we've seen too many people do this, and you're talented,' and I just started bawling." X17Driving Under the InfluenceIn 2006, Lohan started attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings—which, if her actions the next year were any indication, didn't help. In January 2007, she underwent an appendectomy and, afterward, checked herself into L.A.'s ritzy Wonderland Center, a celebrity-friendly rehabilitation facility, for a 30-day stay. In May she was in a car accident and arrested with a DUI charge. After being sent to another rehab facility, Lohan was fitted with a SCRAM bracelet to monitor her sobriety. In July she was arrested for a DUI and possession of cocaine. (She pleaded guilty a month later and was sentenced to one day in jail, 10 days of community service, mandatory alcohol-education classes, and three years of probation.) In November, Lohan released the following statement: "It is clear to me that my life has become completely unmanageable because I am addicted to alcohol and drugs." Thibault Camus / AP PhotoBisexual? Maybe. Lesbian? No.In 2008, Lohan began dating disc jockey Samantha Ronson (left)—a relationship that would, as with most things in Lohan's life, turn volatile. When asked if she was a lesbian, Lohan told Harper's Bazaar, "I don't want to classify myself. First of all, you never know what's going to happen—tomorrow, in a month, a year from now, five years from now. I appreciate people, and it doesn't matter who they are, and I feel blessed to be able to feel comfortable enough with myself that I can say that." She and Ronson broke it off the next year. Around the same time, Lohan dipped her toes in a new world and released a self-tanning spray called Sevin Nyne. Michel Euler / AP PhotoThe Ungaro DisasterIn September 2009, it was announced that Lohan had been tapped as an artistic adviser for the French fashion house Emanuel Ungaro, most likely a result of her highly publicized shopping habits and enormous closet. Paired with Spanish fashion designer Estrella Archs (left), the two worked in tandem as part of Ungaro's new "consumer-led" business model. The first joint Lohan-Archs collection made its highly ridiculed and hotly debated debut during Paris Fashion Week in October. By early 2010, it was reported, Lohan had been dropped from the gig. Nick Ut / AP PhotoProbation ExtensionOn Oct. 16, 2009, Lohan appeared at a Beverly Hills court for a hearing stemming from her 2007 drunk-driving case. The result: her probation was extended another year. The reason: so she could finish her mandatory alcohol-education program. (At the time, TMZ reported, Lohan had completed only about half of her classes.) If the court had to accommodate Lohan again, the judge warned at the hearing, a jail stint would be in her future. It turns out he was bluffing. After missing checkup hearings in December, February, and May, Lohan's legal representatives paid 10 percent of a $100,000 bond, avoiding a warrant for her arrest. Chris Pizzello / AP PhotoBirthday PunchLohan attended the MTV Movie Awards in June last year, despite not being nominated for anything and acting in only one movie that year, the long-forgotten comedy Labor Pains. She notably wore a sparkly floor-length pantsuit to cover up her SCRAM ankle bracelet. Following the ceremony, she attended Katy Perry's after-party, where the bracelet went off, but Lohan's lawyer claimed she didn't consume any alcohol. Several weeks later—on her 24th birthday, no less—a waitress at the L.A. club Voyeur punched Lohan, supposedly over Doug Reinhardt, who she was hanging out with. "A waitress just hit me—punched me for no reason," she tweeted. It was reported Lohan sipped Red Bulls—without vodka. David McNew, AFP / Getty ImagesThe Nail in the CoffinSeemingly, the court was not buying it. A judge ruled that Lohan had violated the terms of her probation and sentenced her to 90 days behind bars at a July 6, 2010, probation revocation hearing. The judge also ordered the actress—who had been sporting the words "F--k You" on her fingernail in court—to check into an inpatient rehab program for three months after her release from jail. Soon thereafter, Lohan's longtime lawyer quit. On July 20 of the same year, the starlet began serving her sentence, which lasted for just 14 days. Lohan was released on Aug. 2 due to a policy of early release of nonviolent offenders to reduce jail overcrowding. Though she was expected to stay at an inpatient rehabilitation facility immediately thereafter for 90 days, Lohan was released after only 23 days because "the treating doctors at UCLA felt she had done everything required of her there." Lohan continued with mandatory outpatient therapy and was also ordered to submit to random drug and alcohol tests and to attend therapy multiple times per week. Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department / Getty ImagesCan Betty Save Her?In August 2010, Lohan told Vanity Fair, "I want my career back … I know that I'm a damn good actress, and it's been my passion since I was a child, and I know that when I care about something, I put 100 percent and more into it." Though she was back on screen, Lohan was not part of the promotion for Robert Rodriguez's Mexploitation film Machete, which opened in September 2010. And shortly after its release, her probation was revoked following a failed drug test. Lohan spent part of the day in jail before being released on bail. A few days later, she entered the Betty Ford Center, where she remained on court order for three months until early January 2011. Toward the end of her time, Lohan was sued by a former Betty Ford Center employee, who alleged that Lohan grabbed and twisted her arm when she attempted to give her a breathalyzer test in December. Though Lohan did ring in 2011 in rehab, she was released shortly after the new year. X17 OnlineSticky FingersShe may have been out of drug and alcohol–related trouble, but Lohan wasn't in the clear. While still on probation in February 2011, Lohan was being investigated for the theft of a $2,500 necklace from a jewelry store. After she was charged, which she claimed was a miscommunication and alleged that she was borrowing the jewelry, Lohan rejected a plea bargain in March. In April she was sentenced to 120 days in jail, 360 hours of community service at the Downtown Women's Center, and 120 hours at the L.A. County morgue for misdemeanor theft and violating her probation. Due to jail overcrowding, Lohan served the sentence under house arrest and wore another SCRAM monitor for most of the month of June. While under house arrest, she failed a random alcohol test, but a judge decided it didn't warrant any additional punishment. Evan Agostini / AP PhotoMarried to the MobThings were looking up for Lohan. In April 2011, it was announced that Lohan had signed on to appear opposite John Travolta in the upcoming movie Gotti: Three Generations. She was cast to play Kim Gotti, wife of mobster John Gotti Jr. As of November 2012, however, the project still seemingly hasn't gotten off the ground. Mario Anzuoni, AFP / Getty ImagesBack Behind BarsOn Oct. 19, 2011, a judge revoked Lohan's probation after she missed too many of her community service appointments. The actress was sent to jail for the fifth time in her life with a bail set at $100,000 and ordered to complete 16 hours of community service at a morgue before her next hearing—which she failed to do. At the hearing that followed on Nov. 2, Lohan was sentenced to 30 days in the county jail and 400 hours of community service. PlayboyThree months later, Lohan was reportedly paid $1 million to grace the cover of the January/February issue of Playboy magazine. Baring it all, the once innocent Freaky Friday star channeled Marilyn Monroe in a vintage inspired shoot. A similar spread appeared in the first issue of Playboy where Monroe posed behind a velvety, red backdrop. The original playboy himself, Hugh Hefner, said he had mixed feelings about the Monroe-themed shoot. "I could not have anticipated, quite frankly, that it would turn out to be such a sensational newsworthy event, or that the pictorial would turn out so well." According to Hefner, the January/February issue of the magazine broke sales records. 2012: Year of the Comeback?Lohan appeared on the Today Show in February 2012 and spoke with Matt Lauer about the public troubles that have defined her character over the past few years. But at just 25 years old, she claimed a "comeback," saying she was now clean, sober, and ready to move forward. "I learned how to live my life in a way that I'm happy," Lohan said. She hosted Saturday Night Live that weekend—and earned mixed reviews. But if nothing else, Lohan's fourth time hosting the show proved she's at least got a sense of humor—she joked about her drug and legal problems during her opening monologue. Richard McLaren / Lifetime'Liz and Dick'In November, Lohan made her long-awaited Lifetime channel debut with Liz and Dick, which was supposed to herald the return of Lindsay the actress. It wasn't meant to be. Between the corny dialogue, cheesy acting, and Lohan's apparently frozen face, the film drew scathing reviews—which reportedly "devastated" the starlet. However, as Entertainment Weekly's Ken Tucker wrote, "there's still a vulnerable quality to her, the same sensitive-soul aspect to her gaze that's been there since she starred in The Parent Trap (1998), that keeps one's hope alive." Louis Lanzano / AP PhotoRumble AvenueThat "sensitive soul" apparently decked a girl in the face just four days after Liz and Dick aired, however, landing Lindsay, once again, in handcuffs. After attending a Justin Bieber concert at Madison Square Garden, Lilo headed to Chelsea nightclub Avenue with her posse and the boys from The Wanted, who also played that night. Reports indicate that Lohan was trying to cozy up to band member Max George (who reportedly left after being "turned off" by the actress's drunken state), but ended up getting into an altercation with a psychic named Tiffany Mitchell instead. Mitchell told TMZ that she "had a premonition" about Lohan and offered her a free reading. Lohan refused and asked Mitchell to give her space, then reportedly muttered something about "fucking Gypsies" as Mitchell walked away. A friend of the psychic fired back at Lohan, calling her a "whore" and telling her that "Liz and Dick sucked." Did the psychic see this coming? Lohan then reportedly punched Mitchell in the eye, prompting an arrest on charges of assault. Adding to her misery, three additional misdemeanor charges against Lohan emerged a few hours later, stemming from a June accident on the Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Monica. The actress was also involved in a police investigation in September after alleging that a man assaulted her in a New York hotel—only two weeks before the tables were turned and another man accused her of bumping into him with her car outside another Manhattan nightclub. Charges were dropped in both cases, but they certainly showed that 2012 was not the comeback year Lohan—and her fans—had hoped for.

The new Hunter pets of Patch 6.2
Patch 6.2 features 8 new hunter pet looks. There are no rares, but one of the new pets is a challenge tame — the Felbound Wolf. You can learn more about how to tame that in this post.
The video below will give you a quick look at 7 of the new looks. The 8th is a red worm pet only available if you're on a particular part of the garrison campaign (I'm past it, so I couldn't tame it for this video). However, if someone in your party has the quest you should be able to see the worm.
So what do you think? I liked the green worm a lot more than I thought I would. It really stands out! I'm always a big fan of wolf pets so you won't hear me complaining about those either. It's nice to have a new challenge tame.
Below is also a gallery of the new pets. These images are from Petopia, and you can browse the new pets there as well.
Boars: Diresnout Felboar (green), Hulking Diretusk (red) Note: The T18 4-piece bonus uses this same green boar model.
Worms: Spiked Rockworm (bright green back), Larva Pit Fodder (red)
Bat: Direwing Predator (tan/draenor)
Crab: Fathomless Mauler (blue/red)
Wolves: Iron Warwolf (armored), Felbound Wolf (green, challenge tame, NOT a spirit beast)

Is this a failure or just the path of an aging game?
MMO Champion has done some data analysis from the WoW armory and has found that upwards of 60% of all WoW players have done Highmaul at some level, whether LFR, Normal, Heroic, or Mythic.
However, only 36% have done even the first wing of Blackrock Foundry on any difficulty. That includes LFR, which has been available since February 17th. The later wings have been done by even fewer people.
I'll admit, I have only done the first two wings of BRF, and only once each.
What's the reason for this?
Is WoW hemorrhaging players the way the naysayers have claimed? I haven't seen recent subscriber numbers. In my guild, a lot of our long-time players have stopped logging on. I don't think they have unsubbed, but I don't see them for days at a time. Why? There's nothing in the game that is holding their attention.
Guild raiding seems to be dead unless you're in a progression guild. It is easier to get your raiding fix through Group Finder or LFR. Here's the downside of that – if your raiding activities are limited to LFR and Group Finder, then you have no personal motivation to upgrade your gear.
In guild raiding, if you run into a roadblock or wipe repeatedly, then you look for ways to improve. Everyone in the guild has to work to get better otherwise you'll never succeed. You grind out opportunities for upgrades, whether in LFR or crafting or the auction house, because you have to run with the same people next week.
In LFR/GroupF inder raids, if your group fails, you can always requeue and find another group. There is no personal responsibility to gear up or even to be any good at all.
For example, I have not upgraded my crafted gear, even though I have the resources to do so. There is no personal motivation for me to spend the resources. LFR is easy and Group Finder is hit or miss, but a patient player can usually find a good group that will succeed. Why should I push myself and spend gold to raise my iLvL if I am just running LFR?
Because I have no gear grind driving me, I really don't do many of the raid-related activities in the game. I do garrison chores and I do LFR to make progress in the legendary questline. I do pet battles to get closer to my Level 3 Menagerie and fishing to get closer to me Level 3 Fishing Shack. Once I finish those buildings I doubt I will pet battle or fish any more. Then it will just be the legendary and achievements keeping my attention.
The solution to this, in my mind, is to revitalize guild raiding. Incentivize raiding in guilds, somehow. That, however, is unlikely to happen. Blizzard has spent the past couple of xpacs crippling guilds in order to promote overall accessibility. Non-progression guilds are all-but-pointless now other than social constructs. Without guilds, we lose any personal responsibility. Instead of increasing raid accessibility, what we are seeing is people unsubscribing and raids are going unplayed.
I've heard that PVP stinks right now, too. What it seems like is that all of Blizzard's efforts to increase accessibility of the game are falling flat once at max level. At level 100, the game is mainly engaging for progression raiding guilds. Everyone else – casuals, pvpers, guild raiders – are getting more and more unhappy.
I'm still busy in game, but it is discouraging to log on on a weeknight and see only 2-3 guildies online. If nothing changes, then I predict a nice spike in activity at patch 6.2, followed by a HUGE drop in players once they burn through that content. Hopefully Blizzard will add some hook to get our attention in the near future.read more
Devil's Third coming to PC as Devil's Third Online
In what looks like an odd move, the Wii U title Devil's Third from Valhalla Game Studios will be making its way to the PC in a cut-down online form as Devil's Third Online.
PC gamers will probably have not been following Devil's Third at all, so in case you were wondering, it's a third-person action title created by Tomonobu Itagaki of Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden fame. The PC version will be free to play but the "Story Mode" which features in the Wii U version is not included according to the press release.
By prior agreement with Nintendo, Valhalla has developed the free-to-play PC exclusive online game "Devil's Third Online." To spread "Devil's Third" around the world, this game service will run from September 2015 onwards, in various regions around the world following the release of the Wii U version in each region.
In consideration of cultural characteristics in each region, the content is being optimized via co-development with local publishers. Service territories and the details of game content will be announced accordingly.
For your information, "Devil's Third Online" is the online-exclusive game playable on PC and its service is specialized in matchup. Wii U exclusive "Story Mode" is not included in it.
The PC version is currently going by the name of Devil's Third Online but that may change as the release date of September gets closer.

PLAY NEVERWINTER FOR FREEThe upside of having a system to vote-kick players in Neverwinter is that abusive players can be identified and removed from a run before they ruin the experience. The downside is that players can also vote to kick out others just as loot is being distributed, thereby opening the doors to a whole different sort of abuse. Thus, the game's vote-to-kick system is being revised in the near future to curb loot-related exploits.
Vote-kicking players will no longer be possible while loot is being rolled for or while players are in the middle of a boss fight, thus preventing two rather common forms of griefing. The change will be rolled out shortly before the Strongholds patch on the PC, with an Xbox patch and announcement coming "soon." Hopefully, this will curtail abuse of the abuse-prevention system, because nothing is ever easy.

PLAY TERA FOR FREEWhat's summer without a party or two? That's TERA's thinking, as the action MMO announced that it's dealing a one-two punch of celebratory fun this month.
TERA has reactivated two of its summer events, starting with the Festival of the Sun. Here players can eradicate vermin in a temple, clean up graffiti, and snack on a few icy desserts. Then there's a beach party at Dragonturtle Beach, which features several mini-games including a splash cannon, watermelon smashing, and sandcastle building.
Of course, there are rewards to be obtained for undertaking the various related quests and minigames. Both events will be around until near the end of August.

Petition To See New Engine Welcome A New Server In Anarchy Online
The long-running success of Funcom's science-fiction MMORPG game Anarchy Online is set to continue following a recent update that provided the community with the option of downloading an new engine version of the game on the live servers. The installer itself is a little under 5 GB but the full installation size is a little heftier, coming in at around 23 GB.
The new engine update impacts practically every area of the game with smoother combat, a noticeable improvement in graphical quality, smoother transitions and better loading times. For full details on the engine check out the official patch notes.
Just before the update was live members of the Anarchy Online took to Reddit to share their sentiments on a potential fresh start server to take full advantage of the new engine, although official stance on the topic is yet to be made clear.
Know I'm not the only one around here who used to play AO like it was EverCrack. However, since I've been gone so long I feel completely disconnected from the current live server. Would it be of interest to launch a NEW server, kind of akin to the whole "Time Locked" craze going on right now except it isn't a TLP server….just a normal everything-unlocked new server :D?

text: I was shocked to discover that my 2009 CTS-V did not come with run-flats, as my 2005 did. Other than attempting to keep the cost of the car down, I can think of no other good reason not to have made them standard. To me this is a step backwards in technology. I have no interest in racing such a nice car, so the usual arguments about the superior ride and handling of non-run-flats don't impress me. I have been told that the stock wheels are compatable with run-flats and that the Michelin run-flats are now available. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Tiffany and Ronald's Wedding
"My husband and I didn't want to make the invitations/programs ourselves (time, ink, etc); unfortunately, most professional stationary companies are pricey and charge for changes. Cari's services are very affordable and she offers a wide variety of products most people have never seen before. She answered all of my dozens of emails and put up with my nit-picky changes :) A nice touch: Cari provided a sealing stick (not sure of the actual name) to seal all of our envelopes -free of charge. I thought that was nice. The only thing that bothered me was I sometimes had to remind Cari of changes that were previously made, but like I said.. I made a lot of them. TIP: Cari runs the business out of her home, so book early -she fills up quickly!"

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of cardio can I do with a sprained ankle?
I sprained my ankle a little today while running. I went to the gym afterward because I felt like i couldn't keep running. I did the elliptical and the stationary bike. I want to go to the gym again tomorrow but I don't know if it would be worse for my ankle if I exercised on it some more. Is it okay if I ride the stationary bike or use the elliptical machine or is there another other cardio exercise I can do?
you need to rest the ankle..you will have your injury much longer if you do not.
Do not put pressure on the ankle..ie as in on the bike
Just lay off the cardio for abit and let yourself heal
What cardio exercise is best with a recovering ankle sprain?
I sprained my ankle over a month ago and have not been to the gym since. I can walk about on it fine but still feel stiffness in the morning and only slight aching at times. I'm aware that running is certainly not suitable at all but wondered if using a bike in the gym would be best. Any exercises which would help or that I shouldn't do would be great to know as I'm dying to get back to the gym again!!! Thank you.
Try a bike for 10 min. Then ice ankle for 10 min.
See how you feel, if it's okay, increase by 5 min. at a time.
Use Aleve or Advil to reduce aching.
Also, you can do ankle exercises: Rotate both ankles in a clockwise direction 30X.
Rotate both ankles counterclockwise 30X.
Push toes down as far as possible, alternate with pulling toes up to your leg as much as possible..30X.
These will stretch & strengthen your ankle.
Feel better.
How can I burn calories with a sprained ankle?
I was just three weeks into running and lifting daily in an effort to lose weight and get ripped once again when I sprained my ankle (the accident was unrelated to exercise). Now I'm completely thrown off schedule and with my torn ligaments it's a 10 week recovery. Are there cardio' exercises I can do with a sprained ankle? I want to keep the calories burning.
BTW I can walk slowly with an air-cast
I feel your pain. Had an ankle reconstruct a few weeks ago.
Best way to burn calories whether injured or not is through weight training. Many studies show that it is a far more effective calorie burner than simple cardio as you keep burning calories after the event and the extra muscle does so as well.
If you are female you don't need to worry about putting on too much bulk as your hormones don't allow for it. So get on the weights. Enjoy the break from running and tone those muscles.
How to heal my sprained ankle and still continue with my exercises?
I sprained my left ankle about a week ago. It is swollen on the inside and bruised a little. It is sore to touch. I am still exercising regularly, just modifying the cardio moves so that there is not so much strain on my ankle. I have been exercising to Jillian Michaels' 30 day shred. I have been doing 2 levels which equals 40 minutes of exercise a day. I am wondering if there is some other exercises i should do, such as pilates or yoga. Please let me know.
Stop exercising, you're just causing more damage in the long run.
You need to use R.I.C.E, the treatment talked about above.
Typically a sprain can take anywhere from 2 – 6 weeks to heal properly depending on the grade of sprain, and if you carry on exercising during those weeks, you may still feel the repercussions for years to come. I know I do.
Give your ankle time to heal.
Find a good ankle brace, do NOT use a tubigrip, they're useless and provide no support, some doctors will even advise against them.
Rehabilitation is key if you ever want your ankle to be as strong as it was before, google ankle sprain rehabilitation, there are loads of good video's out there for it that will really help.
What are some exercises I can do for my legs (thighs & butt) with a sprained ankle?
I sprained my ankle a little over a week ago. Doc said there's some torn ligaments, and I have to wear a brace. I have an extremely high pain tolerance so I am not in pain, just a little sore (mostly, my knee is sore from walking funny with the stupid brace!) I know I can do ball bridges and seated machines, as well as kneeling cable exercises for my butt, etc. Any other ideas? Also, I've been doing the stationary bike for cardio. Is this bad? How long until it's safe to move on to an elliptical machine, etc.? I have to wear the brace for a month.
i think ridding a bike is the best exercise.
Sprained ankle ….cant wait to go back to the gym .?
I have sprained my ankle on a flat road with flat shoes …cant believe I did it . it was last Monday and since then I am not going to gym .
I plan to start this week as the swelling is now gone . the ankle is little black blue is color . but its not paining while I walk .
What sort of cardio exercise I can do ?. I know running wont happen for at least next 2 weeks .
I need to lose weight because I have big wedding to attend in 1st week of October .
Ankle sprain recovery takes a while . Do low impact exercises. you can do some ankle strengthen exercises too
What sorts of exercise (cardio) can I get…?
I sprained my ankle a couple weeks ago and was almost done with physical therapy, but last week I sprained it again. I'm in an air cast as of right now, and I can walk, but I really want to get some exercise done. What can I do?
And obviously, I can't run b/c of my ankle.
Any suggestions are appreciated!
Do you have access to a gym? You can probably do the rowing machnine. Maybe the elliptical since you can do that pretty low impact without moving the ankles around a lot.
However you're better off just doing some free weights with your arms. You do enough of that and you will feel your heart rate up.
What kind of exercise can I do with a high ankle sprain?
I am a bit overweight, I have been excersising (Cardio) to drop some pounds, it seems to be working as people have told me I look thinner. Recently I suffered a high ankle sprain playing basketball and will not be able to do any running or sports for a while (6-26) weeks. Is there any cardio I can do to help continue to manage my weight? Or any routines anyone can suggest to shed the pounds?
There's no cardio exercise really worth the while on land. No legs, no cardio.
You could try swimming free style though. Free style doesn't use much of the legs in the first place.
Just be sure to keep your sprained ankle tightly wrapped to prevent it from wobbling too much as you swim without paddling your legs. As an added insurance, grip a float board (something flat) between your calves to keep both legs straight.
If you've never swum free style like this before, it'll leave you panting and your heart pounding —– that's cardio for you. That's how competitive swimmers train..
Exercise with bad ankle?
I sprained my ankle about a month ago. It was a terrible sprain. I'm in Physical therapy now. I have gained about 6 pounds nursing this ankle (and eating while I did it). I want to get back into some exercise. The physical therapist says to do the stationary bike. I find that so boring. What else can I do with this ankle that will give me some cardio. I'm used to going "hard" with my cardio (spin classes, running). This is so frustrating. Any suggestions?
Try your favorite music while cycling or, if at home, pop in a movie while on the cycle.
Swimming won't work your legs? Someone never heard of kicking! Anyway, swimming is usually something I also advise to my patients. But be sure to discuss with YOUR PT.
Exercise can be fun, but this may be a time you do it out of necessity rather than fun…once on the mend, think of all the things you can return to doing.
Good luck
Tips for losing weight with a sprained ankle.. help!
I've got about 2 months to drop 15-20 lbs. to fit into a bridesmaid dress (long story..). I've been eating well, drinking lots of water, and doing cardio 3-4 times a week. But recently, I sprained my ankle pretty bad and will probably be off of it for about 2 weeks. What kind of exercise can I do that will still cause me to break a sweat and get my heart going?
I especially need to lose belly fat, so if anyone has any general tips on how to target this specific spot (or just healthy, SAFE ways to cut fat quickly in general), that would be great too. Thanks.
try pilates or yoga. they are bost very low impact, and you can search for exercises that don't require pressure on the feet – pilates is core-focused so you should see results where you said you have the most problems. as for getting your heart rate up (cardio), this is difficult.. maybe try swimming? im not sure if that will hurt your ankle. i suggest you eat a less now because you will not be exercising as much. but make sure you don't eat less than 1200 calories.
Fat but can't exercise…please help with tips?
I really need to lose 20 pounds by fall, but I have a sprained ankle so I can't exercise for four weeks at all. I weigh 176 and want to be 150 but the end of summer…any tips how I can lose it without any cardio?
stop with the spam, please, I said I can't exercise. wtf..
I don't think ms kinesha got the point.
Definitely start eating healthy. I'm not saying eat salad and fruits morning day and night. fat, sugar, and salt is essential to your diet, but try to eat as little as possible. Drink a lot of water.
Since you can't jog or use your leg in any way, id suggest working with dumbbells while sitting down. It's probably the best way. Just learn some basic dumbbell exercises, working with weights burns fat.
Sit ups are another great way. They don't require your legs to do them, and work well. If you can, you should swim. It as well wont put pressure on your ankles, and works really great.
The sauna is the last one i can think of that wouldn't involve your ankle to be used to lose (some) weight.
If you stay really dedicated, you can still lose the weight you want with these exercises. Best of luck.
Is it possible to lose weight with an ankle injury?
I'm 19 and I've had a sprained ankle for 10 weeks and it's not healing even though I'm getting treatment.
Now I'm afraid it wont heal like the stories I hear from people about their ankle giving them problems for years.
I'm not that overweight but I'm at the point where if I don't exercise I WILL get really unfit and much much fatter, and weightlifting isn't enough, I REALLY REALLY need to do some cardio.
I'm good enough to walk for short periods of time but eventually it starts to swell up. I'm thinking of using the rowing machine or cycling machine, but I don't know if I should. If I don't exercise soon it will really mess up my mental state as well, I've had enough.
Try: Swimming (if you have access to a pool), Elliptical, stationary bike, sit ups (cross your bad ankle over your good one), crunches (do them on a stability ball for variety), bicycle with your legs while on your back, get a resistance band there are plenty of exercises you can do with one, jump rope with one foot, try yoga or pilates–they have a lot of 10minute exercise dvds out there.
Not all of these are cardio, but they will help you tone, gain strength, and keep you moving.
Just make sure you stop if it hurts and take care of your ankle; if you don't you could be in for a lot of problems. Trust me I know from experience
Cardio with bad ankles?
I haven't gone jogging in a while, so over spring break, I decided to jog around a 4.5 mile lake everyday. I did it for four days, and at the end of the fourth day, and both of my ankles got mildly sprained. I can still walk, I just limp a little and it kind of hurts to rotate my ankles.
Now, it's been two days after that and I feel so lazy since I haven't been getting any cardio done. Any advice on getting a good cardio workout, though I cannot jog?
(I don't think speedwalking will work out for me either..)
P.S.: I do realize it's a better idea to just let it rest, but I really really want to get some calories burned or it's going to be really hard for me to get back into wanting to exercise.
I don't know how to swim.
You don't need to know how to swim to do water aerobics. You wear a flotation belt and use a floating "noodle" as well. Your head never goes into the water. Water aerobics in deep water are zero impact and in shallow water (waist deep) are low impact.
I do 4 hours a week of specialized water aerobics in 7 feet of water and I can't swim at all.
I need some good exercises for the rest of my body while my ankle recovers from a nasty sprain.?
I've been doing cardio for weeks now, but with this awful sprain, I have to keep off of my feet for quite some time… I'm starting to panic because I can almost feel the weight I've lost climbing back on my body… is there anyone out there with some good sedentary exercises I can do while I have to stay off my feet for the next month?
I am so sorry to hear about your injury..Depending on your prior work out habits etc. your age? and your living situation? but the best work out to burn calories, obtain elevated heart rates, every two hours try to achieve an orgasm. Oh drink lots of water and stay on your diet
exercising with a fractured ankle?
3 weeks ago, i hurt my ankle, and i was told it was a sprain. i went back to the orthopedist cause my doctor said it "looked wrong", and just yesterday, they discovered i had actually cracked my growth plate. from being out of cheerleading (yes, it is a workout. competitive cheerleading 6 days a week to nothing will not do you any good), i have gained some weight. needless to say. i am now walking on it, but there is a cast, so i can't bend. it does not hurt to walk anymore.
i need exercises to do with this on that will somehow be/use cardio (not sure which word was right). i can't sleep unless i exercise, because my body produces too much energy. i don't want wimpy exercises like walk down the street and back, or 20 crunches or something. i need a real workout. what can i do?
no i can't go in water : ( unless i wanted to wear a trash bag around my ankle everytime i went inn…plus after these 3 weeks it's no longer "bathing suit season", haha.
i know my limits. my doctor knows i can walk on it. it was almost compeltely healed, she just wanted to make sure it aligned perfectly. she told me i was fine on it. please stop advising me not to excercise. not to sound rude, but i don't need to know that i should ask my doctor, because i already did.
Sometimes you can get a cardio workout buy going to a gym and doing the weight machines but not taking a long break in between. At least you will be still strengthening your muscles. Do lighter weight and more reps with out much of a break and you will start a sweat, I know it is not the same but it is better than doing nothing. If you do not have a membership maybe you can get a trial membership. Good Luck:)
Questions – Ankle Arthroscopy?
I'm 19 and suffered an avulsion fracture in early 2007 that tore part of my medial malleolus (distal tibia) off and did significant ligament damage after an extreme eversion accident; this is on top of two previous grade 3 sprains on the lateral aspect of the same ankle in the 3 years preceding. I saw an orthopedic surgeon at the time and the course of management we went with was 6 weeks in a walking weight-bearing cast ('moon boot') with physiotherapy; I was warned it could be 6 months to a year before all the mobility and stability in that ankle was restored. Since then I have been patient with the ankle despite the fact it is often stiff and sometimes quite sore, and looks permanently swollen. However, about 4 weeks ago I started a new exercise program (about 3 hours of training a day, comprising a mixture of walking/jogging, step & aerobic classes, spin classes and cardio circuit work). The ankle held up well for about 2 weeks and then became gradually more and more painful; despite RICEing after every workout session the pain did not subside, but steadily got worse. I had a CT scan of the ankle done last week at my GP's office which showed non-union of the fracture, and several loose bone fragments in the joint; the scan also showed significant joint effusion. I am scheduled to see my orthopedic surgeon next week to discuss arthroscopy to remove the bone fragments and examine the ligaments, which my GP said was probably the only option to fix the ankle.
I have some questions about the arthroscopy – can anyone whose had one (not just on the ankle but anywhere) tell me what their experience was like in terms of the actual procedure, recovery time, success of the operation, current state of the joint after surgery, etc?
usually good results with just a few weeks recovery
Is there any way that I can have a good cardio work out without running?
I sprained my ankle in the military and am supposed to go through more physical therapy sessions for it. However, since I've been discharged, I no longer am covered by insurance so my ankle has not healed completely. Now I'm stuck at home, gaining weight like a pig, and I can't seem to lose it since I can't run anymore. What other exercises/workouts can I do with my bad ankle, that would work my cardiovascular system? I really want to lose all these extra pounds that I've accumulated after getting out of the military. I want to get back in shape before I reenlist. May you please help me? I'd greatly appreciate your time and input.
I need to get back to my exercise routine, but I'm injured. Any ideas?
I typically exercise quite a bit; however, I have slacked off at the gym and with my eating habits recently because I just bought a house and have been really busy getting everything together. I want to get back on track, but I injured myself quite a bit more than I would have liked playing football this season (probably in part because I am in not as great shape as I usually am and also because 4-6 games in 7 hours is pushing it) and I don't want to do anything to aggravate those injuries or do further damage. My typical day at the gym involves at least 30 minutes or 4 miles of cardio either on a track or the elliptical and a vigorous weight training session split into 3 sections that rotate: legs, biceps/chest/abs and back/triceps. Right now my most prominent injuries are a sprained (I hope) left elbow that can not be twisted without severe pain and refuses to fully extend as well as a right calf and ankle that hurts to put weight on. I am also having intermittent trouble with my left knee. All of these injuries are getting evaluated by a doctor early next week, as I have given them ample time to heal and they are not showing improvement. Regardless of what my doctor says, I refuse to entirely stall my exercise routine any longer. I just don't feel healthy or happy when I am not physically active. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can modify my routine to be low impact, but still have the weight training and cardio benefits? Keep in mind that my elbow makes it difficult for me to swim. Also, I am not looking for something that would be equal to my normal routine, just something that will keep me from losing all of my tone and also keep my metabolism up.
I plan on asking my doctor as well, but she has been less than helpful in the past. My roommate used to be a personal trainer and when I asked him, his reaction was that I should be sitting around watching TV and not moving. I'm not sure if he is saying that because it's true or because he's acting like an over-protective big brother (which he does pretty frequently).
You've waited this long,so no need to risk any more damage! Wait for the Doc's evaluation. If you have access to a pool you don't have to swim. Just walk the length or width of the pool for 15-30 minutes. This will keep the joints moving and the blood pumping with minimum impact. And the increased blood flow will ultimately speed up the healing process!
Can swimming increase your body fat % to adapt your body to the cold water?
Now I've heard this theory around a lot, but never with sufficient scientific evidence to either corroborate it or disprove it.
I'm 20, 6 feet tall, 150 lbs and in very good shape (<10% body fat, exercise every day), and I just had to modify my diet to suit my needs (I was eating 2000 calories a day and burning 3000, so I was losing way too much weight. Now i'm eating 3000 calories, 200 grams of protein and 6 meals a day. Lifting weights every morning, swimming every evening). Since I sprained my ankle, for another month my only cardio option is swimming. Is it possible that it will increase my body fat % to adapt my body to the water? It is true that I have less fat than most swimmers (since muscle is more dense than water, if you don't have a bit more fat you float less and it's harder to swim). Thanks for your answers!
No. Wherever you heard this theory, it isn't true.
The water you swim laps in isn't cold enough for this the possibly happen.
Good luck with your swimming.
My Life Depends on This: Questions about my HEALTH?
Hi, I am a 16 year old guy and I have some questions about my health? There are certain things in my life that I know is bad for my health. To make it easier, I'll bullet point it.
- Eating habits? I believe I'm a somewhat unhealthy person. But I want you to decide. On a weekly basis, I tend to eat an average of freezer package meals such as farmer john chicken strips or trader joes orange chicken around 2 times a week,"regular" meals such as pork and soup around 3 times a week, and fast food such as McDonalds around 2 times a week. On top of that, I eat a moderate amount of chips, ice cream, or some sort of snack mostly everyday. But to cover up for it, I exercise everyday. I have 1 hour of gym and 1 hour of skateboarding+ walking on the weekdays, and on the weekends I usually skateboard an average of 4 hours or so. An most of the exercise done is intense workouts (sweating, cardio).
- Allergies? I have lifelong, year-round allergies to pollen and dust. Most of my allergies are most intense during spring, winter, summer, and then fall. My allergies interrupt my daily life more than anything I can think of. Most days, I do make it through without thinking about my allergies. But the 24% of days, I'm limited to doing my daily business such as studying or exercising because of my allergies. The last 1%, I'm prohibited to doing anything. All I can do sit at home, only thinking about my allergies. I cant concentrate or think normally, I have a huge headache, body ache, I could barely open my eyes and feel my face, and my nose generates mucus every 5 minutes causing me to use at least 50 tissues all in one day. It's a horrible feeling. All I can try to do about my allergies is take allergy medicine daily, but yet it doesn't seem to ever work and I wonder if taking medication everyday may be harmful to me. Do you have any solutions for my allergies? How can I overcome them?
- Back Problems? When I am sitting at my desk, I have a strange habit of sitting on my chair with my body winded to the right with my head looking left to my desk or computer. Will this cause back problems in the future and if so, how can I stop this habit?
-Ankle problems? I am a skateboarder and I've rolled/sprained my ankle about 3 months ago. I never seeked treatment because it actually wasn't all that bad and it seemed to be ok within a month. The upcoming months up this day, I suddenly start feeling pain in my ankle if I move it a certain way mainly when walking up the stairs. Skateboarding has been a stressful sport for me because now I have this paranoia of hurting my ankle so I don't skate as well as I used to. Recently I've started using an ankle brace while skateboarding to cover up for it and it seems to help tons. Will my ankle ever heal? I can't quit skateboarding but I just hope my ankle heals really soon because it's been disrupting my daily life.
There have been many other flaws in my health in my past but I figured how to overcome them and fix them up. So, I hope to do the same for these because I really don't want to quit life here just because of some dumb flaws in my health. I really appreciate you reading my questions in regard to my health and I depend on you to offer my any tips and solutions. My life really does depend on this. Thanks!
thanks for specifying a specialist doctor
You are a smart guy ; and you already know all the answers to all your questions . NO ; you are not eating healthy ; and no you are not sitting properly at your desk
I would like to start a diet/exercise plan . . .?
I just got off crutches a couple days ago because I had a fifth – degree sprain from soccer. Anyway, I've been 13 years old and 40 lbs. overweight and so I think that now would be a good time to start a diet/exercise plan. For workouts, I was thinking about this one:
because I think that running will be something I can enjoy and do with my dog. But I would have to start way slower, because my ankle still isn't flexible enough to run, so far I can only jog awkwardly and it hurts. And I don't have a diet plan, either. For the most part I eat healthy but I know I don't have enough veggies and I eat too much. I'd want the plan to be something that is easy to prepare, and flexible. So, does anyone know how I would be able to start the exercise plan slower, find a good diet, and keep myself motivated?
Thanks a lot!!!
Eat six mini meals a day. Exercise and before every meal, drink two tall glasses of water, (about 16 oz.) this will fill you up and you will automatically eat less. This really works, so be patient. Also you will lose it slower and that will give your skin time to catch up with your wieghtloss especially if you exercise. Good Luck to you
From benzo addiction to moderation – possible?
In March of '08 I kicked an addiction to Ativan. The withdrawal was horrendous, but since that time I've been able to take an occasional Xanax with no problem, so after a hospitalization in June I switched psychiatrists and was prescribed .5mg Xanax t.i.d. This went well for about a month, then PMS coupled with a badly sprained ankle which left me unable to walk(my choice for cardio and transportation in general) left me with severe anxiety that one pill didn't even touch. So, I started taking more, and more. At present I probably take 3.5 to 4mg a day. If I'm not addicted again, I'm certainly on my way. I've tried breathing exercises, Rescue Remedy, and a lavender inhaler, but when the anxiety gets really bad none of these things work.
Can anyone recommend some safe ways to either taper down or quit, and also some safe ways, other than the ones mentioned above, to ease severe anxiety?
Is the addition causing any consequenses yet? IF so then work the steps of addition to find the root of the problem being more mental than anything. Try eating more cinnamon in your diet and get a supplemental vitamin reg. Vistirile is great non benzo that will help with the mood. Surely your doctor can prescribe it instead. Check your real motive for taking the med and then try some personal meditation each morning with the breathing.
I need some good exercises for the rest of my body while my ankle recovers from a nasty sprain?
I've been doing cardio for weeks now, but with this awful sprain, I have to keep off of my feet for quite some time… I'm starting to panic because I can almost feel the weight I've lost climbing back on my body… is there anyone out there with some good exercises I can do while I have to stay off my feet for the next month?
I have to keep off the ankle completely, can't support any weight or use the ankle at all for at least 2 weeks.

Looking for training in Springfield MO area
Hello, I'm a newbie here that has been looking over this forum for months. After thinking long and hard I finally found a GREAT breeder and put a deposit down. I won't take the puppy home for awhile, but I am trying to find someone in the Springfield, MO area. I want to start with the basics and then maybe Schutzhund.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.. I am also curious of any GSD clubs or Schutzhund in this area..
I will take that as a NO.. What a bummer, maybe I should move to another state... Thanks to all who have looked at the post...
Just wondering if you found any training in the Springfield area?
training in springfield MO
My husband and I are long time, active schutzhund trainers and competitors. We have a place about an hour south of Springfield where we spend winters with our dogs. We'd welcome anyone interested in doing some training. We have a great German helper coming in February and will have a schutzhund trial over Valentine's Day weekend.

text: Hi, I am having trouble connecting my girlfriends laptop to the internet using her Windows 7 laptop via a Dlink router with Virgin Media. The laptop previously had Windows Vista installed but I recently upgraded it to Windows 7. For about 2 weeks the laptop connected to the wireless router fine, but stopped working about 4 days ago for some unknown reason out of the blue. We have tried various methods to fix it, including disabling the wireless network adapter and enabling it again, we have tried updating the driver for the adapter but we get a message saying that the driver currently installed is the latest driver. It also won't let me roll back to the previous driver as that option is faded out in the properties box. I have took her laptop to my house today to try and connect it to my router (which is also with Virgin and is working fine on my computers at my house) and the laptop won't let me connect to the network and it keeps saying there are no network connections available. I understand that usually it displays a list of connections you can log on to, but the laptop is not finding any connections at all. On Thursday we attempted to connect to the internet by plugging in the blue wire that came with the router and that works fine. It's just it will not connect wirelessly. What really baffles us with this problem is that it worked fine for a couple of weeks then suddenly stopped working. Could it be an update that was installed that has caused the problem perhaps? I have also tried using System Restore but that hasn't fixed the problem either. The wireless adapter is called: Atheros AR5005G Wirelss Network Adapter. Please help as my girlfriend needs her Facebook fix and is very close to throwing her laptop out of the window

Now that Mike Myers' "The Love Guru" looks like a critical and commercial bomb, the buzzards are circling over the writer-star's career.
Is he over?
Rolling Stone's Peter Travers asks the question this way: "Is the failure of 'The Love Guru' merely a slip or a sign of dire things to come?"
Given that "The Love Guru" came five years after his previous live-action film (the awful "The Cat in the Hat," though he didn't conceive that one), he can't be feeling too encouraged right now.
And comedy is a funny thing (so to speak). What made us laugh several years ago might make us grimace now.
Sacha Baron Cohen's crazy-Kazakh misadventures among unsuspecting real folks in "Borat" struck us as hilarious, and he's banking we'll feel the same about his gay Austrian fashionista in his upcoming "Bruno" movie.
But people found Myers' mustachioed guru's mugging at the camera amid crotch and midget jokes to be juvenile and grating. "Austin Powers 4" would have been easier to market, but would we have been any more in the mood for Myers' brand of humor in that package?
Hey, at least he tried to come up with something new.
So now what?
Well, first of all, Myers should realize he's sitting pretty. Even actors' careers are supposed to have "Behind the Music" arcs these days, and "The Love Guru" is just the kind of disaster to set the table for the inevitable comeback.
We love comebacks even more than opportunities for a big pile-on.
John Travolta had "Pulp Fiction" after a string of straight-to-video releases.
Robin Williams had "Good Will Hunting" after "Fathers' Day."
Bill Murray had "Rushmore" (and eventually "Lost in Translation") after "The Man Who Knew Too Little" and "Larger Than Life."
Even "A League of Their Own" was considered a comeback for Tom Hanks after the one-two punch of "Joe Versus the Volcano" and "Bonfire of the Vanities." "Sleepless in Seattle," "Philadelphia" and "Forrest Gump" soon followed.
What should Myers do?
Should he go back to the well and make "Austin Powers 4" or a "Wayne's World"-in-middle-age movie?
Should he finally star as the late Who drummer Keith Moon in that biopic he's been talking about for years? After all, the 45-year-old Myers is only 13 years older than Moon was when he died (and, to be fair, Myers looks better).
Should he make "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," another of his long-brewing projects?
Should he dust off that old "Dieter" script, the one he backed out of making in 2000, thus triggering a breach-of-contract suit from Universal? (Part of the settlement was his agreeing to star in "The Cat in the Hat.")
Or should he put himself in the hands of a skilled dramatic director, take on his first serious role since 1998's "54" and tap into that dark side that he apparently displays off but not on screen?
I vote for that last option. And you?
A Valley Son "Leaving Is Easy" (audio) (premiere) // Music
Foo Fighters "Run" (Singles Going Steady) // Music
Childish Gambino "Centipede" (Singles Going Steady) // Music

It may have finally been confirmed after two years and three generations of software on the iPhone, but turn-by-turn third party mapping has already hit BlackBerry App World after just a few days.
Telmap is the sprinter out the blocks here making its popular Navigator mapping solution available to Bold, 800, Pearl 8110 and Curve 8310 and 8900 owners immediately.
The move isn't entirely unexpected however as Telmap has an established relationship with RIM and has already been available via the likes of Vodafone, Orange, O2, Carphone Warehouse, MapQuest, Sprint and ATT to name but a few. That said, with application stores typically more used to hosting 99p drinking games and fart jokes it demonstrates great confidence in the fledgling BlackBerry service.
"The new BlackBerry App World is an important channel for us to make the Telmap Navigator the leading application available for the mass", said Oren Nissim, CEO, Telmap. "We are happy to extend the success to many more people, and make it simple and easy to access using their BlackBerry Smartphone."
Of course the interesting aspect in all this will be to see how App World integration affects sales compared to more traditional channels. If I were Telmap I'd be quietly optimistic - it didn't do too badly for MP3s...

An Important Trip To Moscow For Mike Johnston
by Paul on 07/24/14 at 08:29 AM ET
Comments (4)
from Rob Rossi of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,
Evgeni Malkin finally is ready to listen, so new Penguins coach Mike Johnston better say all the right words. The season could be at stake.
Johnston leaves this weekend for Moscow, where he will spend four days with his most important player.
Win over Malkin, and Johnston would take the biggest step toward turning the Penguins back into Stanley Cup contenders. Leaving Moscow without Malkin's support would prove disastrous.
The Penguins are captain Sidney Crosby's franchise, but they must become Malkin's team.
This is no knock on Crosby, the face of hockey in North America. He just can't do what Malkin can for the Penguins' dressing room dynamic. Crosby's calling is bigger, no matter what management might think. His responsibility is to help the Penguins win and the game grow.
Malkin never has done anything but play, and playtime is over because the Penguins need more from their other future Hall of Fame center.
Filed in: NHL Teams, Pittsburgh Penguins, | KK Hockey | Permalink
This guy sounds pretty over the top, though, seems true what he's saying. I'm glad the Wings don't have anyone they have to "win" over, ahem! Cough Franzen Cough!
Uhg… Summer is soooo boring. Season can't come quick enough.
Posted by Pasha1277 on 07/24/14 at 08:54 AM ET
Shouldnt it be the other way around? Shouldnt Malkin have to impress Johnston with his skill, work ethic and attention to detail so that he gets the ice time he wants?
If this story has any merit to it, I believe the Pens just discovered the root of their lack-of-cup-success problem.
Posted by Hootinani from the parade following Babs out of town on 07/24/14 at 09:53 AM ET
Shouldnt it be the other way around?
One of the best players in the league should not have to impress a first-year NHL coach?

If Johnston isn't already impressed he's an idiot.
As a Winterhawks fan let me assure you he isn't an idiot.

Modern debate over government control of institutions is the buzz-phrase-heavy, less verbose distant relative of the political-philosophy discussions that ruled the land during the Cold War. These early debates were mostly about the fundamental question of whether a government should guarantee equality of outcome (communism) or equality of opportunity (capitalism), and often called on the sophisticated works of long-deceased sociologists and economists. Modern political discourse takes place on a different playing field: Protests, editorials, facebook groups and tweets are the modern weapon of choice, as opposed to the verbose arsenal of academics (neither for better nor for worse).
In today's debates, the absolute rightness of government involvement in an institution, idea, or strategy serves as a red herring, and receives all of the argumentative firepower from all involved. This false-polarization has played out most recently in the health care debates, which have regressed into pie fights about the wrongness of government intervention, rather than growing into a productive dialectic about the systematic and moral nuances associated with securing health equity.
Where might we look for examples to help move this debate forward? Are there other paradigms that harbor similar issues, but have, for whatever reason, been able to escape the same kind of immature inertia that typifies health equity debates?
Public education remains a gigantic elephant in the room of the debates about whether or not health access and equity should be government-controlled. Modern debates about public education are plentiful, most recently (and notably) the charter school controversy.
Unlike debates about health care and social security, however, advocates for expunging government involvement in education altogether are almost entirely absent. Politicians suggesting that education should be entirely privatized would have few political friends and might even find themselves alone on the far right.
For example, No Child Left Behind has been the object of intense debate because of its content, not because anyone felt like its signature and endorsement by George W. Bush was an "infringement on individual liberty (the sine qua non of the far right)." It was contentious because experts debated its appropriateness and effectiveness [1].
The question then: Why does education get the proverbial "pass" on government involvement, and can we engineer the health equity debates with a similar get-out-of-jail-free card?
In doing so, health equity advocates can side-step petty discussions that weigh them down and spend more time and effort imagining novel studies, programs, bills, and strategies. In arguing for the government's responsibility in alleviating health disparities and securing health equity, we can utilize analogies in the educational context in several ways.
Firstly, government protection of health care as a right need not abolish the private health care sector, the same way that public education doesn't undermine private education. A popular and characterless argument against publicly protected health care is that such a system would automatically and necessarily subvert market-driven competition and the provision of choice. This is simply not true.
Like education, advocates for government protected health equity could argue that control should be relegated to basic services: child health, primary care, prenatal care, childbirth, management of a selection of chronic illnesses, etc. In the education sector, parents have the right to send their children to boutique private primary and secondary schools. Similarly, individuals should have the right to utilize private health care providers, should they choose. The problem with the status quo is that there is no structure in place to guarantee the most basic of health services to anyone. It is this malady that many health justice advocates are calling attention to.
In addition, many of the same moral justifications for education's status as a right can be easily transfigured in the health equity context, without a loss in argumentative nutritional value. At its most basic, human rights activism is fueled by the repulsive images of a society without that right guaranteed. Denying women or people color the right to vote, for example, is a lamentable political stance because there is something naturally unsettling about the image of groups being denied a basic right based race or gender.
Education occupies a similar space: images of an America without a primary or secondary public school structure are troubling: children walking the streets all hours of the day, nothing to occupy their mind and their time. It's so radical and repulsive an idea that it's almost beyond our public imagination.
Strangely, the reality of a society without structures in place to address health inequities might be equally unsettling, and yet somehow, this has been allowed to persist. American society today allows the mentally ill to go untreated and likely to end up homeless or incarcerated [2]. This society permits mothers without guaranteed access to prenatal care, poor children to grow up near environmental hazards [3] and without access to foods that facilitate proper development [4]. This society sees hard-working Americans lose their property to repossession because of medical debt [5]. Our reality is a very savage one.
When debating the appropriateness of public protection of health equity, we should adopt the aforementioned analogies to the education sector, not because health and education are exactly the same, but because the moral and economic underpinnings that justify education-for-all are similar enough to justify the protection of health equity-for-all. The education sector is rife with problems of its own, but not because we question whether education should be protected as a right (almost everyone agrees that it should), but because we disagree on what should be taught and how this education should be delivered.
The goal should be to get health care and health equity discussions to a similar state, where we can discuss the specifics of how government can provide and protect it in a fiscally responsible and sustainable way.

SMCC began offering classes in Laveen in Fall 2006. Classes were initially offered at several area school locations, and in August 2014 were temporarily moved to the current location, Legacy Traditional Charter School.
The Center provides limited one-stop enrollment for students: advisement, registration, and financial aid assistance.
We offer classes that assist students in fulfilling their general studies and AGEC requirements, including Math, Reading, English, Literacy, Social Behavior, and Humanities. Average class size at the Center is between 10 and 24 students.
The SMCC Laveen Center maintains several current partnerships within the surrounding community, including the Laveen Elementary School District and the Legacy Traditional Organization.
