Customer Reference and Advocacy Pros to Exchange Best Practices at the 2014 Summit on Customer Engagement
Oct 02, 2013, 08:30 ET
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Oct. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Top Customer Reference and Advocacy professionals will exchange best practices and learn from top experts in the field at the 2014 Summit on Customer Engagement on February 25-26, 2014 in Redwood City, CA.
Summit participants will learn how to:
- Get more—and better quality—customers to provide references, referrals, collateral and the like.
- Establish the strategic importance of—and the necessary funding for—customer reference and advocacy programs.
- Leverage customer communities and social media to create more customer advocates and influencers.
- Develop engagement strategies that provide the full range of ways in which customers want to engage with you: in communities, advisory boards, MVP programs.
Participants who register now can insure a spot and receive a limited time $200 early registration discount.
It's impossible to exaggerate the growing importance of customer reference and advocacy programs to businesses today. As a group of 11 leading senior executives in Big Data put it at an executive breakfast during the 2013 VMworld last month in San Francisco, CA, "Whatever we're trying to communicate to buyers in our market—our customers can say it better than we can."
This year's theme is "The Other 90 percent," says Bill Lee, author of "The Hidden Wealth of Customers" (Harvard Business Review Press, 2012) and President, Customer Reference Forum, which has hosted the Summit and its predecessor events for nine years. "Like our smart phones and laptops, companies use only 10 percent of the immense capabilities of their customer references and advocates," says Lee. "The 2014 Summit is about tapping the full 100 percent."
"We get very hands on, very practical, at the 2014 Summit," says Lee. Participants will learn, for example, how Citrix engages its impressive marquee brand customers—such as Deutsche Bank, ITV, Citi, Royal Bank of Scotland, the US Army, Aetna, NYSE, JPMorgan and others--to fully leverage their considerable ability to help Citrix grow profits.
They'll also learn how SAP developed a mobile customer reference app that gives field sales people instant access on their iPads to the most current reference customer information and collateral, helping them accelerate the sales cycle and close deals. "No more 'I'll get back to you on the reference information you requested,' " says Lee.
For information, go to http://www.customerreferenceforum.com/event2014/index.php
"There's really nothing I've seen like it in the country."
Lisa Arthur, CMO, Teradata Applications
"Wonderful conference! I can honestly say it changed my life."
Beth Gallob, Senior Manager, Marketing Communication, Blackbaud
"A very worthwhile conference. I have always recommended it. Ignacio Lalana, Reference Program Manager, EMC
"This was my first Summit and it delivered great value for the time I spent--and the 22 hours fluting time from the UK!"
Barbara Jenkins, Director, Global Customer Advocacy, QlikTech
"I can actually say the Summit on Customer Engagement made it possible for me to create a reference program."
Charlotte Lilley, Customer Programs Manager, Box
Summit sponsors include well-established, highly knowledgeable firms in the advocacy space, such as Big Sky Communications, Boulder Logic, inEvidence, Mainstay Salire, Metia, Point of Reference, Service Research Center, TechValidate and others.
About Bill Lee
Lee is the foremost authority in the world on customer advocacy and engagement. Forbes Online columnist Dorie Clark called his book, "The Hidden Wealth of Customers," "one of the most insightful business books I've read this year." When it comes to the dramatic changes in marketing and business growth strategies today, PRWeek has called Lee "one of the loudest, strongest and most respected authors."
Bill has spoken to audiences for Forrester Research, the International Advertising Association (IAA), the Marketing Executives Networking Group (MENG), the Net Promoter Annual Summit (U.S.), the Business Marketing Association, the American Marketing Association, the Social Media Club and others.
He is frequently quoted by major media outlets, such as The Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, Forbes Online, CRM Magazine, Rain Today, 1to1 Marketing, and others.
Bill writes regularly for the Harvard Business Review (HBR) Blog Network. His article, Marketing is Dead was one of the most widely read and commented on in the history of the network, receiving nearly 600 comments and more than 4,000 recommendations on HBR's Facebook page.
He runs the world's best established and most respected educational conferences on customer references and advocacy. Nine years ago, he began building the foundational educational conferences for customer references and advocacy, including Customer Reference Forum, the Summit on Customer Communities, the CAB (Customer Advisory Board) Exchange Summit, and now the Summit on Customer Engagement. Last year his firm, Customer Reference Forum, has launched a teleconference series, The Master Class Series on Customer Reference Programs.

In semiconductor processing, SOI (semiconductor-on-insulator) technology is becoming increasingly important since it permits the formation of high-speed integrated circuits. In SOI technology, a relatively thin layer of semiconducting material, e.g., Si, overlays a layer of insulating material (e.g., a buried oxide region). This relatively thin layer of semiconducting material is generally the area wherein active devices are formed in SOI devices. Devices formed on SOI offer many advantages over their bulk Si counterparts; including higher performance, absence of latch-up, higher packing density and low voltage applications.
Despite the advantages obtained using SOI technology, SOI circuits, like other electronic devices, are susceptible to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD is a transient surge in voltage (negative or positive) that may induce a large current in the circuit. To protect circuits against damage from ESD, protection schemes attempt to provide a discharge path with a low voltage turn-on and a high current capacity (the ability to generate or sink a large amount of current before a large amount of negative or positive voltage is developed). Discharge paths using traditional bulk devices (such as diodes) do not work well on SOI devices because of the presence of a relatively thin SOI buried oxide layer. That is, conventional diodes on SOI devices have small current capacity because the current is carried laterally through an active device region of limited thickness.
One approach for protecting SOI circuitry from ESD is found in U.S. Pat. No. 4,989,057 to Lu. Lu discloses a SOI diode, which could be used for ESD design. The SOI diode disclosed in Lu consists of a floating-body SOI transistor, with the gate connected to a signal pad. However, the Lu diode itself may have a thin insulating layer that is susceptible to damage from relatively moderate voltage differences. To provide diode operation, Lu shorts the gate to the cathode. Nevertheless, the Lu diode may not be suitable for usage in a mixed-voltage environment because the voltage difference between the gate and the anode may be sufficient to damage the insulating layer. This damage may lead to early ESD failures. This problem is not limited to SOI devices. Rather, it exists in bulk Si devices as well.
Accordingly, there is disclosed herein a gated diode overvoltage protection circuit. In one embodiment, the circuit includes: a terminal, a gated diode, and a bias circuit. The terminal is configured to convey a voltage signal. The gated diode has an anode, a cathode, and a gate. The gated diode is coupled between the terminal and a predetermined voltage node so as to enter a forward conduction mode during electrostatic discharge (ESD) events, overvoltage conditions, or transient signal excursions. The bias circuit is configured to establish a low-resistance path between the cathode and gate when the gated diode is in a forward conduction mode, and to eliminate the low-resistance path when the gated diode is not in the forward conduction mode.
Also disclosed is an electrostatic discharge protection method. In one embodiment, the method comprises: (a) configuring one or more gated diodes to shunt ESD events and minimize any signal excursion outside a predetermined voltage range; and (b) protecting gate insulators of the one or more gated diodes. The protecting includes (1) minimizing a voltage difference between the cathode and gate of each gated diode that is operating in a forward conduction mode; and (2) increasing the voltage difference between the cathode and gate of each gated diode that is not operating in the forward conduction mode to provide a gate voltage between the positive and negative supply voltages.
A better understanding of exemplary embodiment of the present invention can be obtained when the following detailed description of various embodiments is considered in conjunction with the following drawings, in which:
While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments thereof are shown by way of example in the drawings and will herein be described in detail. It should be understood, however, that the drawings and detailed description thereto are not intended to limit the invention to the particular form disclosed, but on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
As a starting point, consider
The characteristic feature of SOI technology is the creation of semiconductor devices on an insulating surface. Traditionally, the substrate itself is not an insulator due to the poor thermal conductivity of most insulating materials. Accordingly, an insulating layer 104 may be created on substrate 102. Traditionally, the insulating layer is silicon dioxide (SiO2), but again, other insulating materials are known and may be used.
Diode 100 may be an isolated region of semiconducting material 108 that is deposited on insulation layer 104 and that is laterally isolated within a second insulating layer 106. The electrical isolation of region 108 may advantageously allow diode 100 to operate faster, to be smaller, and to be placed more closely to other devices. Semiconducting material 108 includes at least three subregions that are tailored to form the active device region of diode 100. The subregions are labeled P+, N, and N+ to indicate the doping of the material (i.e., the type and amount of impurities introduced into the semiconducting material). An overhead view of the device might indicate that diode 100 is either "U-shaped" or rectangular in nature, so that the two N+ regions may actually be a single N+-type region that surrounds an inner N-type region, which in turn surrounds the inmost P+-type region.
The N+ region may be coupled to an electrical conductor 110, and the P+ region may be coupled to another electrical conductor 112. Conventional materials for these conductors may include aluminum, copper, silver, gold, tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum, titanium, and various suicides (e.g., WSi2, MoSi2, TaSi2, TiSi2). Of course, other conducting (and semiconducting) materials are known and may be used.
Diode 100 may also include a gate 114 that is isolated from the semiconducting material 108 and contacts 110, 112 by a thin insulator 116. Gate 114 may be a conventional conducting material, but for a number of reasons, polycrystalline silicon ("polysilicon") may be preferred. In addition to its well-understood nature, polysilicon may operate as a mask in a self-aligned deposition technique for creating diode 100. Between the gate 114 and the semiconducting material 108, the gate insulator 116 is thin. Certain limits may be enforced on the maximum voltage difference across the gate insulator to avoid significant degradation. For a standard goal of a 10-year lifetime, the steady-state difference for these gate thicknesses may be limited to less than 1.5 volts.
Diode 100 is thus a three-terminal device. The three terminals are labeled A (anode), K (cathode), and G (gate). A P-N junction exists between the P+ and N-type regions of material 108. Current can flow with relative ease from anode to cathode, but will under normal conditions be unable to flow from cathode to anode. A positive voltage difference between the anode and the gate will induce an inversion layer in the N-type region, thereby increasing the junction area and reducing the resistance to current flow from anode to cathode.
Diode 100 is only one example of a gated diode. Various other material configurations, in both SOI and bulk silicon technologies, may be used to implement a gated diode. Further, though the protection of a gate insulator in a gated diode is discussed in detail below, the described techniques may also be suitable for protecting insulation layers in other gated devices.
To protect against ESD events, overvoltage conditions, and/or transient signal excursions, two gated diodes may be provided. The anode of gated diode 304 is coupled to pad 302, and the cathode is coupled to a positive voltage rail (e.g., supply voltage VDD) or some other node having a predetermined voltage at the upper end of a predetermined voltage range when power is applied to the integrated circuit. The cathode of gated diode 306 is coupled to pad 302, and the anode is coupled to a negative voltage rail (e.g., ground, supply voltage VSS) or some other node having a predetermined voltage at the lower end of the predetermined voltage range when power is applied to the integrated circuit. For protection against ESD events, the power rails may provide a low resistance path with the maximum available current capacity for dissipating the event energy and minimizing the probability of damage. When the integrated circuit is powered, this diode configuration ideally operates to keep the pad signal voltage (VPAD) within the predetermined voltage range (e.g., between the voltage rails). That is, diode 304 ideally prevents VPAD from exceeding the upper end of the predetermined voltage range, and diode 306 ideally prevents VPAD from dropping below the lower end of the voltage range.
As previously mentioned, gated diodes 304, 306 may include a gate insulator that is susceptible to damage from even moderate voltage differences. Accordingly,
The short circuit between gate and cathode during forward conduction may be desirable for two reasons. First, the resistance to current flow is minimized. Second, the parasitic gate-cathode capacitance is bypassed, which may alternatively be viewed as simply minimizing the voltage drop across the gate insulator.
The intermediate gate voltages described above may be desirable during normal operations to extend the operating range of gated devices. For example, a SOI gated diode that is limited to a maximum voltage drop of 1.5 volts across the gate insulator may nevertheless be used in a circuit where the expected pad voltage ranges between 0 and 1.8 volts. (Such a configuration may be used in a device having a RAMBUS™ interface, which specifies an active signal voltage swing between 1.0 and 1.8 volts.) In one contemplated RAMBUS device embodiment, the voltage rails VSS and VDD are 0 and 1.8 volts, respectively.
Upper bias circuit 308 may further include a transistor 406 (which may be a metal-insulator-semiconductor field effect transistor, commonly called a MOSFET) coupled in parallel with resistance 402, and with its gate coupled to the pad voltage VPAD. When the circuit is unpowered, the gate voltage is zero. If a positive-going ESD event occurs, the rising pad voltage causes transistor 406 to enter a conducting, of "ON" state. When transistor 406 is on, its resistance is very low, in effect creating a "short circuit" between the gate and cathode of diode 304. When the circuit is powered, the voltage divider may operate as described above as long as transistor 406 is in the non-conducting, or "OFF" state. Transistor 406 may be off until the pad voltage approximately equals or exceeds the positive voltage rail VDD, at which point transistor 406 turns on, allowing current to bypass resistance 402. Again, the gate and cathode of diode 304 are in effect "short circuited" when transistor 406 is on.
Lower bias circuit 310 may also include two resistances 408 and 410 in a voltage divider configuration between the voltage rails to create an intermediate voltage for the gate (VG2) of diode 306 when power is applied. VG2 may be placed at the midpoint between the voltage rails using resistances with a 1:1 ratio. Lower bias circuit 310 may further include a transistor 412 (again, this may be a MOSFET) coupled between the gate VG2 of diode 306 and the pad VPAD, with the gate of transistor 412 coupled to the negative voltage rail VSS. When the circuit is unpowered, the gate voltage is zero. If a negative-going ESD event occurs, the falling pad voltage causes transistor 412 to turn on, thereby creating a short circuit between the gate and cathode of diode 306. When the circuit is powered, the voltage divider may operate normally as long as transistor 412 is off. Transistor 412 may be off until the pad voltage approximately equals or drops below the negative voltage rail VSS, at which point transistor 412 turns on. When transistor 412 is on, it may nullify the effect of the voltage divider and in effect "short circuit" the gate and cathode of diode 306.
Although the voltage dividers are described above as producing certain specific intermediate voltages between the voltage rails, there is a considerable amount of flexibility in choosing the intermediate voltages. The intermediate voltage during normal operations may be any voltage that satisfies the following conditions:
|V GA |<V MAX and |V GK |<V MAX,
where VMAX is the design limit for a voltage drop across the gate insulator, VGA is the gate-anode voltage, and VGK is the gate-cathode voltage. It should be further noted variation of the intermediate voltages may exist and may be tolerated when the above conditions are satisfied. The intermediate voltages produced by the voltage dividers may be subject to variation from competing effects such as parasitic capacitances and/or partial turn-on of the transistors.
When the circuit is powered, the transistors 702 and 704 bring the gate voltage VG1 to some voltage between the positive voltage rail and the supply voltage to which transistor 704 is coupled. As the pad voltage rises above the positive voltage rail, transistor 702 is on while transistor 704 is off. In this state, the circuit effectively shorts the gate of diode 304 to its cathode. As the pad voltage falls below the supply voltage to which transistor 704 is coupled, transistor 702 is off while transistor 704 is on. This configuration places the gate voltage VG1 at the supply voltage (VSS or VALT).
When the pad voltage is above VALT (e.g., above 1.2 volts), transistor 902 may allow current to flow from VALT to the VG2, raising the voltage of the diode gate toward VALT, and transistor 904 may be off. When the pad voltage falls below VALT, transistor 902 may be off, and transistor 904 may turn on, allowing current flow from the diode gate towards VPAD, reducing the gate voltage VG2 toward VPAD. Transistor 906 may be on at all times during these conditions. However, when a negative ESD event is applied to VPAD, transistors 902 and 906 may be off. In this case, transistor 908 turns on and may couple VG2 to VPAD, effectively short circuiting the gate and cathode of diode 306.
Numerous variations and modifications will become apparent to those skilled in the art once the above disclosure is fully appreciated. It is intended that the following claims be interpreted to embrace all such variations and modifications.

Troop/Team Representative - Summer camp
Summer Camp
Some Scout camps lie in deep forests or at the bases of high, windy peaks. Others are tucked back in the woods along rivers and lakes. A few are located in deserts or along seashores. Every camp is different, but here's a small sampling of what you are likely to find:
- Nature hikes with instructors who really know their stuff
- Map-and-compass courses
- A wood yard for practicing proper use of knives, saws, and axes
- Archery and rifle ranges
- Conservation projects, meadow repair, trail maintenance, and erosion control
- Instruction in the best no-trace methods of backcountry travel
- Project COPE (Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience) courses that improve your balance, fitness, and ability to solve problems
- Aquatics programs in swimming pools, lakes or streams
- Crafts areas
Summer camp allows you the opportunity to devote a full week living the Scouting life. Your own troop leaders will be there to help you work on many outdoor skills and to enjoy some tremendous adventures. A camp staff of experienced older Scouts and adults can give you a helping hand whenever you need it. You can form new friendships with Scouts from other troops and learn how they do things in their patrols.
Scout camps come in many shapes and sizes, but they all share one thing in common – they offer as much adventure and excitement as a Scout can have anywhere. For many troops, a week at summer camp is a high point of the year.

Kakouetta Gorge
Les Gorges de Kakouetta
One of the wildest and most renowned spots in Europe, the Gorges de Kakuetta is a dramatic place to explore. Set in the Basque mountains the gorge stretches for 2km with vertical walls rising up to 350m high and yet seldom more than a few metres apart. It is understandable that except for mid summer little light penetrates in such a deep narrow gorge and so the climate is chilly and similar to temperate rainforest.
Following the route of the gorge the path sometimes tracks the very bottom of the gorge and at other times runs along a metal catwalk enabling you to explore the very heart of the gorge with its invigorating misty air, overhanging rocks and abundant flora before reaching a spectacular waterfall. For those who dont mind getting wet it is possible to walk right behind the twenty metre high cascade or for a more relaxing break there is a picnic area here in which to rest and just admire the scenery.
To vary your day out, just 200m further along the track La Grotte du Lac (the cave of the lake) is also worth visiting for its stunning collection of giant stalactites and stalagmites forming in the cave.
Stout walking shoes and sensible clothing are advised to make the 2 hour round trip of the gorge and after that there is even the Bar des Gorges for a well earned drink.
The village of Sainte-Engrâce also benefits from a rather special chapel. Essentially this is a small shepherds hamlet set in the mountains and yet the chapel, with its 630m high tower, is an imposing landmark amongst the surrounding wild scenery. In the middle ages it was a stopping place for pilgrims on the Santiago di Compostella route and even attracted the kings of Spain and Navarra. The chapel itself was built to celebrate the martyrdom of Santa Gracia, a Spanish noble woman of the 3rd century.

Court officials in Winnipeg have confirmed that former NHL player and city councillor Thomas Steen was arrested again, this time for allegedly breaching a no-contact order.
Mr. Steen was seen by a justice of the peace and released the next day.
Mr. Steen was originally arrested earlier this year on two counts of domestic assault and one count of uttering threats after an alleged attack on a woman at a Winnipeg restaurant May 1.
His release conditions included abstaining from alcohol and not contacting the complainant.
He took a brief absence from council when the charges were first laid but has since returned.
Mr. Steen has removed himself from the Winnipeg Police Board while the charges make their way through the courts.
Mr. Steen played for 14 years with the Jets before he retired in 1995. He ran unsuccessfully for the federal Conservatives in 2008 and has served on city council since 2010.

Graziers in Broken Hill, in far west NSW, had the ear of the Prime Minister today, calling on Tony Abbott for drought assistance.
Mr Abbott and Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce met with close to 100 pastoralists at Mt Gipps station, 40 kilometres north of Broken Hill, to hear how the drought is affecting them.
Anita O'Connor, from Mount Poole station near Tibooburra, told the Prime Minister interest subsidies on loans would help pull many producers through difficult times.
"That is the thing that will make the difference to keep us afloat. We're just hanging in there.
"We don't have the cash flow for the farm management deposits.
"We've taken out the loans that we can, and if we took the extra concessional loans, it would just blow all our equity out of the water.
"The drought has been going on too long for most people."

Racquet & court sports prove to be tough on the foot and ankle.
The podiatrists at University Foot and Ankle Institute (UFAI) commonly treat foot and ankle injuries from lovers of racquet sports, ranging from weekend warriors to the professional athlete. UFAI has sponsored the Women's All American Tennis Championships in Los Angeles for multiple years and is the preferred provider for the Association of Tennis Professionals, so we are no stranger to elite tennis players whom need their feet and ankles to perform.
There has always been a connection between court sports and lower extremity injuries, particularly with racquet sports. The repetitive stop-and-go and lateral movement demand combined with the hard and variable court surface is what puts these players at risk. But tennis isn't the only racquet sport that produces such injuries, we are seeing similar conditions from a new and emerging sport called pickleball.
What is Pickleball?
Pickleball has garnered a lot of recent attention. It's a hybrid of badminton, ping-pong and tennis with a court size similar to that of a badminton court. Longstanding hotbeds of pickleball exist in Washington State, Phoenix, Florida, Palm Desert, San Diego County, and more are popping up all over Los Angeles County, from the paddle tennis courts of Venice Beach to Simi Valley, home to the newest UFAI office. Pickleball is gaining many new supporters, as it's a relatively simple sport to pick-up, demands less rigorous physical demand and has equipment modifications compared with tennis. It's affordable and easy to play in existing gyms or courts. But with this increase in popularity comes the increase in related injury.
When it comes to racquet sports and injuries, muscle and tendon injuries take the lead. A ten-year study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine covered injury trends during the US Open Tennis Championships. It was found that anatomically, the rate of lower limb injuries were significantly higher than upper limb and trunk injuries with the ankle the most common sight. An additional study in 2011 on racquet sports including badminton, table tennis, and tennis, found the foot followed just behind the ankle, as the most common injury site.
Preventing a Racquet Sport Injury
So how are these common injuries such as an ankle sprain, Achilles tendinitis, and activity-halting plantar fasciitis best prevented? These injuries are so common that they are typically undertreated and improperly diagnosed. This often leads to chronic ligamentous laxity with a higher risk of instability of the affected joints and re-injury or chronic, activity-limiting pain. Similarly, more severe problems can arise from joint cartilage damage that may have occurred at the same time, warranting expert medical evaluation to help you get back to your game.
Now for prevention. A solid pair of court shoes or true "tennis shoes" will be the foundation for remaining injury free. Specific engineering designs provide extra lateral mid and rearfoot support to accommodate for frequent side-to-side motions as well as forward motions, and they are constructed with stiffer materials to support the feet and ankles during sudden stop and start movements. Understanding the biomechanics of various foot types and the fine balance of impact attenuation and rearfoot control of an athletic shoe can be challenging and is often not evaluated properly. Shoe wear decisions are frequently made by the way a shoe looks or what a salesperson may pitch. Athletes will do better seeking professional help to determine their foot type, and finally make other shoe choice decisions based on type of court surface, body type/weight, style of play, and specific court sport. More aggressive or frequent play on smaller courts, such as with pickleball, often demands a shoe with a toe-cap.
I had the opportunity to interview "Duct Tape Tyson," a nationally top-rated pickleball player. His wife remarked the nickname came from him wearing shoes literally held together by duct tape. During regular play he could go through a new pair of court shoes in three to four weeks. Now that is demand. Duct Tape Tyson has recently left the area for the international circuit, but shoe stores everywhere are awaiting his business.
Ultimately, knowing your foot type and the demand constraints on your feet and ankles along with a properly fit and appropriate style of shoe are keys to avoiding problems. Other important concepts for injury prevention involve proper bracing/taping when relevant, weather considerations, warm-up prior to stretching activity, and appropriate progressive activity initiation; all influential factors which will reduce injury risk and enhance performance.
What are the Treatment Options?
Treatment for acute musculoskeletal injuries generally involves rest, icing, and immobilization. The specifics regarding type and duration of immobilization, as well as weight-bearing status, will be determined by your foot and ankle specialist and based on the diagnosis and severity of the injury. It is critical to remember that soft tissue injuries can take as long as bone to heal and will generally not be seen on x-ray examination. Likewise, chronic injuries can often be more troublesome to treat because of the long-term damage (inflammation and scar tissue) and compensation, delay or initial improper treatment, and other problems that occur over time. Whether your injury requires proper conservative management or surgical intervention, physical therapy is often an important process to formalize in order to give you the best chance to compete successfully and prevent recurrence.
In conclusion, court sports are demanding on the lower extremity. Pickleball is fun way to stay active and healthy with less physical demand or necessary skill or practice time for success, compared with tennis. Proper court shoes and athletic activity preparation are crucial for prevention of injury. Should a classic Achilles tendon, plantar fascia, metatarsalgia, ankle or foot injury occur, seeking skilled foot and ankle specialists for accurate diagnosis will best get you healed and healthy and back on your court of preference.
If you have any questions regarding your lower extremity health with regards to sports injuries or performance enhancement, we encourage a consult with one of our foot and ankle specialists; please call (877) 877-9110 or visit us at www.footankleinstitute.com.

Duke's tough luck continues in Bucs loss
Starter does his part in city of Chicago, but exits with 0-1 mark
By Jenifer Langosch / MLB.com
On the South Side of Chicago on Friday, his complete-game performance -- one in which he allowed just two runs -- was backed by no offense and ended in a loss. On Wednesday, he pitched well enough to beat Chicago's other team, only to watch the offense sputter early and the bullpen crumble late.
As soon as Duke exited, the Cubs pushed three runs across to break open a tie game, sending the Pirates to a 5-2 loss in front of 38,314 at Wrigley Field. With the loss, the Pirates ended their longest road trip of the season with a 5-5 record, but with just one win at each Chicago ballpark.
Before Chicago tagged Jesse Chavez and Sean Burnett for the win, though, they were stymied by Duke. Yet, the Pirates lefty has nothing but an 0-1 record to show for allowing only four runs in 15 innings in Chicago.
"Two games on this road trip that he should have won," manager John Russell said. "He's been very consistent. I think you see a lot of confidence in Zach. He really believes in what he's doing."
Duke's only troublesome inning was the first, when he fell behind five of six hitters. Milton Bradley drove in his fifth run of the series with a one-out triple. Duke then walked Derrek Lee.
He rebounded to get the ground ball that he wanted, but instead of an inning-ending double play, second baseman Delwyn Young made a throw low and wide of first that allowed the runner to reach safely and Bradley to score the inning's second run.
"It just slipped," said Young, who also went 0-for-4 at the plate in a spot start for Freddy Sanchez. "It was my mistake."
The run would count as an earned run against Duke because two outs cannot be assumed on a double play. Still, a good throw there would have had outfielder Reed Johnson out easily.
Chicago would get nothing more off Duke, who scattered five singles and one double over the next six innings.
"After that [inning] I kind of stepped back and said, 'I have to get ahead, get the counts back in my favor,'" Duke said. "After that I was able to move the ball around very well."
Other than not having the wins to show for it -- Duke's record stands at 5-4 -- Duke has done nothing but be a consistent and efficient presence on the mound all season. Armed with confidence and the stuff to back it up, Duke has now pitched at least seven innings in seven of his 10 starts this year.
He only accomplished that nine times in his 31 starts a year ago.
"I'm in a very good groove," Duke said. "My mind is very clear on the mound, and it just feels very good to be performing the way that I am."
After throwing 105 pitches, Duke left with the game tied. The Pirates had scratched back for one off Cubs starter Carlos Zambrano in the fourth on Ramon Vazquez's two-out double before Nyjer Morgan's speed in the seventh evened the game at 2.
Morgan led off the seventh with what looked to be a harmless single until left fielder Alfonso Soriano inexplicably missed picking up the ball. The ball then kept rolling, and Morgan, who ran hard out of the batter's box, kept running, all the way to third.
"I just kind of went out there and tried to get something going," Morgan said.
Zambrano rebounded to get Young to pop out, but when Zambrano's 0-1 pitch to Nate McLouth got past catcher Geovany Soto, Morgan took off immediately.
"I read the ball in the dirt, and it was just basically an instinct play right there," Morgan said. "I just reacted and went."
It was a bang-bang play with Zambrano and Morgan at the plate, but Morgan's left hand touched home just before Zambrano applied the tag. Zambrano, livid at the call, immediately voiced his displeasure to home-plate umpire Mark Carlson. Seconds later, the two made contact and Zambrano, never hesitant to be animated, was tossed from the game, making quite the scene in the process.
"I was safe," Morgan said afterward. "I was in there way before the ball got there."
From there, Russell turned to the right-handed Chavez, owner of a 1.83 ERA in 22 appearances this year. His string of seven straight scoreless appearances would be snapped, though, when, with one out, Johnson made Chavez pay for a 1-1 changeup left out over the plate.
"That's one of his better pitches," Russell said. "He just didn't get it down."
The ball landed in the left-field seats to give the Cubs a 3-2 advantage.
"It didn't change," Chavez said of the pitch. "It will be a tough one to swallow, especially how Zach kept us in the game. My job is to come in and keep the score tied so that our bats have a chance to get going."
Chavez then gave up a single before the Cubs' two doubles off Sean Burnett provided the three-run cushion.
The Pirates ran themselves out of a chance to piece together a comeback attempt in the ninth. After drawing a pinch-hit walk to start the inning, Freddy Sanchez inexplicably kept running to third on Morgan's fly-ball out to deep right. Sanchez was easily doubled off first.
The mistake loomed even larger when Young then followed with a walk. Had Sanchez not been erased off the basepaths, McLouth would have come to the plate as the potential tying run.
The Pirates' offense missed opportunities earlier as well. It went just 2-for-10 with runners in scoring position. In both the second and fifth, Pittsburgh put its first two runners on base only to watch both innings end without a run scored.

Ali Nasseri, M.D., Ph.D.Medical Director, The Valley Hospital Fertility Center
May 22, 2013 -- If getting pregnant has been a challenge for you and your partner, you're not alone. Infertility issues affect an estimated 1 in 10 couples in the United States; but this rate increases with increased maternal age. Approximately one-third of infertility is attributed to the female partner, one-third attributed to the male partner and one-third is caused by a combination of problems in both partners or, is unexplained. Infertility is defined as not being able to get pregnant despite having unprotected intercourse for at least a year — or for at least six months if the woman is age 35 or older. So how do you know when it is time to seek specialized help? The general rule is to seek help from a fertility specialist if you do not become pregnant within one year. But that general guideline does not take into account your age, your partner's age, your health, the method of birth control you've been using, or other factors that could affect fertility.You may want to consult with fertility specialist now if any of the following apply:
• You are age 35 or older• Your menstrual periods are irregular or very painful• You have been diagnosed with endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease• You have a history of miscarriages• The male partner has a family or personal history of male infertility or has had an abnormal semen analysis
Talk to your doctor about your concerns to see if he or she recommends an evaluation by a specialist. In many cases it pays to seek a fertility consultation sooner rather than later to improve your chances of a successful conception and pregnancy. Fortunately, there are many safe and effective therapies that significantly improve your chances of becoming pregnant.
If you would like a consultation with one of our fertility specialists, please call us at 201-634-5400 or e-mail us at email@example.com.

Cross Post: Is the Private Sector Misunderstood in Development?
By Lorea Russell – This originally appears on the Tomorrow Global blog.
David McGuire, President and CEO of The QED Group LLC, wrote a piece on Devex Impact last week about how the private sector was a critical but misused partner in development. Mr. McGuire talks about the "give us your money and we'll do good things" attitude that a lot of NGOs have. Guilty as charged.
For a long time I saw PPPs as a way of getting a company to put in some money to kick in the USAID contribution, and not as a real partner. As I've started to work in the social enterprise sector, I've had to re-think and re-frame how I feel about business models being used to further development goals. That led to a rethink of my previous interactions with the private sector.
I have mixed feelings – I'm kicking myself for all the missed opportunities to engage the private sector in a meaningful way. I would never treat a donor or another partner like a check, so why would I treat a private sector partner that way? Mostly because I just assumed they didn't actually "care" about the communities the way I did. I thought they just wanted to throw money at the problem so I could fix it and they could say they were making a difference. In retrospect, these partnerships might have produced a lot more if I'd taken a different approach to communicating with partners – language, process, and definitions of success can make or break successful partnerships between the private sector and NGO partners.
Speaking a Common Language
Most things I've read about the private sector in development focus on how NGOs have to understand how to talk to companies in a way that engages them. This line of reasoning bothers me – there's a lot of misconceptions on both sides. Is the private sector misunderstood as a development partner? Absolutely. Can the private sector be dismissive of NGOs? Absolutely. As I'm beginning to learn corporate speak, part of the issue is that we speak a different language even when we're talking about the same thing.
I agree that NGOs have to be able to engage the private sector in ways that they understand (how partnering will help their bottom line), but the private sector also has to realize that a real partner has an equal responsibility to understand what makes the public sector tick. We both have bottom lines – and they may not even look all that different.
Understanding Unique Processes
We have to learn how to talk to each other without getting frustrated halfway through the process. I currently serve as a translator of sorts between my company and its NGO partners. When I can explain why NGOs are doing things they way they are or asking the questions they are there's always a look of relief because all of a sudden it makes more sense.
We have to accept that we have different ways of doing things, without thinking one way is inherently wrong or evil. We do things differently but that doesn't mean we can't work together towards a common goal. It does mean that we have to spend more time making sure expectations are clear from the beginning.
Finding Our Different – and Similar – Definitions of Success
What defines a successful partnership/project? Be prepared for these definitions of success to seem very different, but be willing to drill down to what those definitions actually mean. What strengths and weaknesses does each party have? Can one group use their strengths to mitigate the weakness of the other? For example, the private sector is fantastic at developing efficient systems, while many NGOs struggle with this- if having a strong invoice system will make your project successful then let the private partner design it.
This must all seem very obvious, and it is – but these conversations simply aren't taking place. Instead, for the most part, we're missing the opportunity to have some really amazing partnerships.
We can all keep working in our own corners, but we have nothing to lose and everything to gain by working together. The fastest growing market for American companies is developing countries. Roughly half of U.S. exports are marketed to developing countries. The more people we lift out of poverty, the more people who'll be able to access those markets. Everyone wins – especially those we're trying to help.February 1, 2013

ROCKY MOUNT, N.C.-- A court date for former Princeville mayor Priscilla Everette-Oates has been moved back until September. The Rocky Mount Telegram reports that Everette-Oates appeared in N.C. Superior Court in Tarboro in December and pleaded not guilty to embezzlement.
A judge tentatively scheduled a trial date for Monday, but the date was pushed back to Sept. 8 after Everette-Oates retained new attorneys.
Motions are scheduled to be heard on April 7.
Everette-Oates was mayor of one of the first communities in the country established by freed slaves. She was arrested last August after a state audit found that she ran up more than $8,115 in questionable charges spanning two years and involving hotels, gas, a seafood restaurant and two trips to a specialty store.

Anatomy Of An Investigation
NEW YORK: In the aftermath of Tuesday's tragic crash of TWA Flight 800, with the possibility of survivors ruled out, the focus turns Friday towards the complex investigation underway to determine the cause of the crash. TIME aerospace correspondent Jerry Hannifin reports that the NTSB has developed an efficient and effective system for piecing together airplane wreckage and pinpointing the probable cause of what was, in this case, an extremely powerful and violent explosion. "The NTSB puts together a "Go Team" which is headed by a member of the Board. The team is made up of highly specialized experts in propulsion (engine), air frame (fuselage), hydraulics, electronics and computer technology," says Hannifin. These experts and metallurgists, as they salvage pieces of the plane, will build a gigantic metal jigsaw puzzle in a effort to piece together the 747 airliner. They will study such factors as the direction in which particular pieces of the wreckage were bent, and the relative heat damage to different parts of the airliner, which provide vital clues to the precise source and direction of the explosion: a bomb inside the cargo department? an exploding engine? a missile from outside? "These people are so expert in their field that they can reassemble the plane with even the smallest pieces of metal," says Hannifin. Once the pieces are put together, FBI specialists perform tests on the plane parts to trace particles of outgassing. "Whether the explosion was a result of a TNT bomb or a synthetic Semtex explosive, a favorite of terrorist bombers, traces of chemicals and emissions residue can be detected on the parts," reports Hannifin. Once the voice data recorder and the flight data recorder, are found, they will enable investigators to reconstruct the final moments aboard Flight 800. -->

Stressed Out as a Kid? You May Be at Higher Risk for Heart Disease and Diabetes
If you needed more proof that stress is bad for you, here it is.
As adults, it's pretty easy to minimize a child's emotions, especially when it comes to stress: "Chill out, kid, you're not even old enough to know what real stress feels like."
But it might be time to reconsider our reactions, because there could be a link between childhood stress and higher risks of developing heart disease and diabetes in adulthood, according to a September 2015 study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Researchers from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health analyzed mental health data of nearly 7,000 people born in a single week in 1958 when they turned 7, 11, 16, 23, 33 and 42 (data from the 1958 British Birth Cohort Study). The researchers also collected blood samples from the participants at age 45 in order to calculate their cardiometabolic risk (CMR) scores — a tool that doctors use to determine the likelihood of their patients developing diabetes and heart conditions.
Using those data, the researchers found that people who had "persistent distress" — think depression, anxiety, hyperactivity, aggression, etc. — throughout both childhood and adulthood had the highest CMR scores of all the participants. People who had high stress levels primarily during childhood or primarily during adulthood also had a higher risk of developing heart disease and diabetes as adults.
Keeping in mind that this study shows association and not causation, these findings highlight how important it is to teach kids about preventing and managing stress rather than writing off their emotions as insignificant.
The major takeaway from this study is how important it is for us to learn to manage emotions at an early age, says Alison Holman, PhD, FNP, the interim director of the program of nursing science at University of California, Irvine.
"Once kids learn how to manage emotions so that they don't make them feel out of control, then they will not feel overwhelmed," she says.
Dr. Holman suggests that parents can help by modeling positive responses to emotions. For example, acknowledging you're angry during a frustrating situation but not going to extremes, such as throwing things or yelling.
And if you were a kid full of angst, move past it. "Don't get caught into the past, live into your future. Work to improve your life now," Holman says. "And if you are having a hard time doing so, find someone who can help."

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. {AP} All the practice paid off for 19-year-old Alicia Brown, who hit a 3-point shot worth $2 million in the Gillette Challenge at the Final Four Saturday night.
Brown, who was coached by Hall of Famer Rick Barry, connected between games of the semifinal doubleheader, winning $1 million for herself and another $1 million donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
"I used a different routine Rick suggested yesterday," Brown said. "I used to dribble before shooting, but he had me bend my legs and shoot it without dribbling."
Brown, who was informed Friday that she would be taking the shot, played three years as a point guard at Corona High School in Corona, Calif. Her mother, Cheryl James, won the sweepstakes and transferred the attempt to her daughter because of Brown's high school experience.
"Half of the money is going to my mom because it was her entry," Brown added. "She's the only one keeping me sane right now."
Brown also said she would likely buy a new truck with her winnings.
The shot was taken at Hoop City, an NCAA promotion being held at the Tampa Convention Center in conjunction with the Final Four.
