Biofeedback for pain
Biofeedback teaches you how to control your body's nervous system in order to reduce pain and stress and promote relaxation. Biofeedback can sometimes relieve musculoskeletal pain such as neck, back, and shoulder pain. It also may work for migraines and stress- and tension-induced headaches.
Biofeedback is a method in which electrical sensors connected to your body ("bio") provide information ("feedback") that enables you to use your mind to consciously control bodily functions such as heartbeat and breathing. This includes the ability to reduce pain by relaxing associated muscles (Mayo Clinic). Biofeedback is being used in the military for various medical or psychological conditions such as PTSD/TBI, and for performance enhancement.1
Different methods of biofeedback monitor different physiological activities such as muscle tension, sweating, temperature, blood pressure, or brainwaves. A popular form of biofeedback measures heart rate variability (HRV). Greater HRV (we're talking milliseconds here) has been linked to improved cognitive performance.1-4 Reduced HRV has been associated with heart problems and increased mortality, among other things. Stress can decrease your HRV, and if your stress remains high, your HRV could be reduced permanently. Information from biofeedback machines can be used to make changes in behaviors, breathing, and/or muscle tension—all of which can help you reduce stress and pain, increase HRV, and increase relaxation.
You can practice biofeedback on your own, but it requires special equipment and training. The equipment can be purchased without a prescription, but it can be expensive, so you should consult a healthcare provider for recommendations and training beforehand.
What we know
Biofeedback is used to reduce stress, increase relaxation, and reduce pain. It can be used for muscle-based pain such as headaches, back pain, and neck pain. Research indicates that biofeedback may reduce the frequency of migraines and how well you cope with them and improve neck and shoulder pain from computer work.5,6 Biofeedback that targets brain wave retraining may help reduce anxiety, which can improve mood and fears about future pain.
The Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB) describes biofeedback as "possibly efficacious" (that is, it might work) for many pain conditions and "efficacious" (that is, it works) for headache and jaw pain.7 It also can help reduce anxiety, which in turn can reduce pain. In addition, there is little evidence that biofeedback will help acute or chronic low back pain, and biofeedback does not work well for pain related to arthritis.8-10
Biofeedback is non-invasive and has few side effects. As mentioned above, biofeedback equipment can be expensive, so your out-of-pocket cost can be high if they are not covered by health insurance. It also can take a significant amount of time to learn and practice. Always check with a healthcare provider and get proper training before starting a program.
Below are some of the ways the DoD and VHA are using biofeedback:
- Biofeedback can be used to increase HRV1 and relaxation, which could be helpful for pain, PTSD/TBI, and performance enhancement.11
- The DHA Connected Health has developed some mobile biofeedback apps specifically for the military:
- Biozen provides users with live, graphic biofeedback so that they can see their body's responses in real time. This application uses biosensors that wirelessly transmit changes in the body to the app.
- Breathe2Relax is a portable stress management tool that monitors diaphragmatic breathing while the user records stress level.
- The Institute of HeartMath has created tools for biofeedback that are available for free to veterans, service members, and their families to achieve a greater awareness of the connection between our emotions, physiology, and behavior.
- Biofeedback is being explored by some Army ROTC cadets to promote resilience.
- Biofeedback will be integrated into pain treatment by the DoD's Pain Management Task Force, so Warfighters will have access to biofeedback treatments at their local MHS.

Major Section: IO
By default, symbols are printed in upper case when vertical bars are
not required, as specified by Common Lisp. As with Common Lisp,
ACL2 supports printing in a "downcase" mode, where symbols are
printed in lower case. Many printing functions (some details below)
print characters in lower case for a symbol when the ACL2 state
global variable
print-case has value
:downcase and vertical bars
are not necessary for printing that symbol. (Thus, this state global
functions in complete analogy to the Common Lisp global
*print-case*.) The value
print-case is returned by
(acl2-print-case), and may be set using the macro
set-acl2-print-case (which returns
state), as follows.
:set-acl2-print-case :upcase ; Default printing (set-acl2-print-case :upcase) ; Same as above :set-acl2-print-case :downcase ; Print symbols in lower case when ; vertical bars are not required (set-acl2-print-case :downcase) ; Same as aboveThe ACL2 user can expect that the
:downcase setting will have an
effect for formatted output (see fmt and see fms) when the
directives are
~q, or
~Q, for built-in functions
princ$ and
prin1$, and the
ppr family of functions, and not for built-in
print-object$. For other printing functions, the effect of
:downcase is unspecified.

As expected, President General Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan announced a major reshuffle of the senior officers of the Pakistan army of the rank of generals and lieutenant generals on October 2 and 3.
The reshuffle was necessitated by the impending retirement of General Mohammad Aziz Khan as chairman, joint chiefs of staff committee, and General Muhammad Yusuf Khan as vice-chief of the army staff, both on October 7.
With the retirement of General Mohammad Aziz Khan, a Kashmiri belonging to the Sudan tribe, from the army, the Pakistan army does not have any identified fundamentalist officers in the rank of lieutenant general/general.
When Musharraf seized power on October 12, 1999, the army had two identified 'fundos' in the rank of lieutenant general -- Mohammad Aziz Khan, who was then the chief of the general staff and Muzaffar Usmani, the then corps commander, Karachi.
Subsequently, Musharraf appointed Mohammad Aziz Khan as commander of one of the two corps in Lahore and Usmani as deputy chief of the army staff. It was the triumvirate of Usmani as corps commander, Karachi, Mohammad Aziz Khan as the CGS and Mahmood Ahmed, as the then corps commander of Rawalpindi, which staged the coup against Nawaz Sharif, the then prime minister, in Musharraf's absence from the country and paved the way for his installation as the military dictator with the designation of chief executive. They refused to accept Nawaz Sharif's order dismissing Musharraf as chief of the army staff and appointing Lieutenant General Ziauddin, the then director general of the Inter-Services Intelligence, in his place. They had both Nawaz Sharif and Ziauddin arrested.
After taking over, Musharraf appointed Lieutenant General Mahmood Ahmed as the DG of the ISI. After 9/11, the US reportedly exercised pressure on Musharraf to ease out all the three from sensitive posts before the US military operations against Al Qaeda and the Taliban commenced on October 7, 2001. The US did not trust Usmani and Mohammad Aziz Khan because of their proximity to Islamic fundamentalist parties. It was annoyed with Mahmood Ahmed because of his failure to pressurise Mulla Mohammad Umer, the amir of the Taliban, to hand over Osama bin Laden to the US.
Musharraf had Usmani and Mahmood removed on October 7, 2001. They went on premature retirement. He could not remove Mohammad Aziz Khan from the army because of his Kashmiri background,his popularity amongst the fundamentalist parties and jihadi organisations and his role in orchestrating the jihad against the Indian army in Jammu and Kashmir. He removed him from Lahore, promoted him as a four-star general and appointed him to the largely powerless post of chairman, joint chiefs of staff committee.
To reassure the fundamentalist parties and the jihadi organisations that his being kicked upstairs would not involve any dilution of Pakistani support to the jihad in J&K, he told them that even after his new appointment he would continue to handle the jihad in J&K.
Usmani, though a fundamentalist like Aziz, was not as popular as Aziz amongst the fundamentalist organisations. Musharraf did not, therefore, have to worry about any negative consequences of his removal.
Even after Aziz retires on October 7, Musharraf has to keep a wary eye on him. Because of his role in the Kashmiri jihad and in helping the Taliban, Aziz is very popular amongst the lower ranks of the army. Some junior army officers and a Kashmiri belonging to the same Sudan tribe as Aziz and hailing from the same village in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir as Aziz, who were arrested following the first unsuccessful attempt to assassinate Musharraf last December, were reported to have stated during the interrogation that they wanted to kill Musharraf not only because of his betrayal of the Taliban and Al Qaeda, but also of Aziz. The Kashmiri detenu reportedly accused Musharraf of preventing a Kashmiri (Aziz) from becoming the COAS for the first time in Pakistan's history, by giving himself an extension.
Musharraf might find himself compelled to reassure the jihadis once again that Aziz's retirement would not mean any change in his Kashmir policy. There is already speculation in Pakistan that he might appoint Aziz as president of PoK, replacing Major General Mohammad Anwar Khan (retd), the present president, who is Aziz's cousin or nephew.
Ehsanul Haq, who succeeds Aziz, is believed to be a Pashtun. He is a close friend of Qazi Hussain Ahmed, the amir of the Jamaat-e-Islami, but is not a fundamentalist himself. In 2001, when Musharraf accepted an invitation from then prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, to visit India for the Agra summit, the qazi was strongly critical and refused to attend an all-party meeting convened by Musharraf before going to India. Ehsanul Haq, then a corps commander at Peshawar, met the qazi at Musharraf's request and persuaded him to support Musharraf's decision to visit India.
After taking over as DG, ISI, he came under some suspicion in February 2002, when Omar Sheikh, one of the principal accused in the murder of journalist Daniel Pearl, reportedly told the Karachi police during the interrogation that during a visit to Kandahar before 9/11 to meet bin Laden, he had come to know of Al Qaeda's plans for the 9/11 terrorist strikes and had mentioned this to Ehsanul Haq at Peshawar on his return. Omar Sheikh's allegation did not affect Ehsanul Haq's position as the DG, ISI.
The US was reported to have been quite happy with his stewardship of the ISI for three years during which some pro-jihadi officers were eased out of the directorate and many key Al Qaeda operatives, who had taken shelter in Pakistan, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, were arrested by the ISI and handed over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. At the same time, there was concern over his perceived inaction against Taliban leaders operating from Pakistani territory. This, however, did not affect the US' overall positive assessment of him.
Keeping this in view, one would have expected Musharraf to appoint him as the VCOAS, in which capacity he would have continued to supervise and coordinate the functioning of the ISI.
The post of the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff committee to which he has been appointed is a largely paper-rich post involving medium and long-term assessment of the needs of the military, preparing and revising operational plans etc and does not involve important executive and operational responsibilities.
Unless Musharraf has reassured the US that Ehsanul Haq would continue to be actively involved in the operations against Al Qaeda, his being shunted up to this post could mean his marginalisation for the next three years before he quits the army.
It is not clear whether General Ahsan Saleem Hayat, the new VCOAS, who will assist Musharraf in the day to day running of the army and ISI and in supervising the anti-Al Qaeda operations, is a Punjabi or a Mohajir. He is senior to Ehsanul Haq, having been commissioned in 1967 in the armoured corps, whereas Ehsanul Haq was commissioned in 1969 in an army air defence regiment.
Genmeral Hayat is known for his personal loyalty to Musharraf and his proximity to the US. These two factors would seem to have played a role in the June 10 attempt to assassinate him at Karachi by the Jundullah (the Army of Allah), a new organisation, which is a member of the Inmternational Islamic Front.
Not much is known about Lieutenant General Ashfaq Kiani, the new DG of the ISI. He had also served in the past as the DG of military operations, an important post from the point of view of anti-Al Qaeda operations.
Mohammad Aziz Khan and Muhammad Yusuf Khan owed their promotions as lieutenant generals to Nawaz Sharif and not to Musharraf. With them out of the way and the supersession and consequent premature retirement of six others, all the serving lieutenant generals owe their rise above the rank of brigadier personally to Musharraf. He may therefore be confident of their personal loyalty to him.
There is unlikely to be any opposition from them to his giving himself another extension as the COAS or any heartburn over it. The opposition to it is mainly from the political parties and sections of the public. While it is certain that with US backing for his decision, Musharraf will continue to wear the second hat of COAS after December in violation of his formal commitment to the political parties to resign from that post, the events leading to his decision are not proceeding as he had expected them to.
He was planning to have resolutions passed by the federal Parliament and the legislative assemblies of the four provinces requesting him to continue as the COAS too in Pakistan's supreme national interest. The provincial assemblies of Sindh and Punjab have already done so and there should be no problem in getting similar resolutions passed by the federal parliament, which he controls through the Pakistan Muslim League (Quaid-e-Azam) and the defectors from Benazir Bhutto's People's Party.
However, he has been facing difficulty in the North-West Frontier Province and Balochistan. The NWFP assembly, which is dominated by the fundamentalists, has opposed his continuing as the COAS. In the Balochistan a assembly, where the fundamentalists have a large but not dominating presence, his supporters have not yet been able to have their way.
The fundamentalist parties, who feel cheated by him on this issue, have organised a series of rallies to oppose his continuing as the COAS. Reliable reports from Pakistan say the response to their rallies on this issue has been disquietingly (to Musharraf) large in the NWFP, reflecting the continuing Pashtun anger over his cooperation with the US against the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
Musharraf does not, however, have to worry over the protests of the political parties opposed to him and the fundamentalists, so long as he has the support of his army officers and the US. Unless the public protests against him gather unexpected momentum, as had happened under Ayub Khan, which seems unlikely at present, he should have no concerns over any negative public reaction to his violating his commitment on the COAS issue.
If at all there is any threat to Musharraf's position, it is likely to come not from the senior officers, but from junior officers not only in the army, but also in the air force. As admitted by Musharraf in a television interview in June, the investigations into the two attempts to kill him last December have revealed the involvement of junior non-commissioned officers of the army and air force. Any future threat to his position would come mainly from that level and not from a senior level in the form of another conspiracy to kill him.
There is some penetration of jihadi organisations into the army and air force at the lower and middle levels and there is anger against Musharraf at those levels because of his cooperation with the US against Al Qaeda and the Taliban and in the anti-proliferation investigation against Dr A Q Khan, the father of Pakistan's atomic bomb. There is also considerable anger amongst the Shias in the armed forces over his inability to stop the massacre of Shias by Sunni terrorists.
Since he took over power, there have been 40 massacres of Shias in different cities of Pakistan. Such a large number of anti-Shia massacres had not taken place under any other previous leader. Any threat to him would come from these sections.
The new promotions and postings mark the ascent of a new generation of officers, who distinguished themselves not in battles against India over Kashmir or in the covert jihad against Soviet troops in Afghanistan ostensibly to protect Islam, but in the so-called war against Al Qaeda to protect American lives and promote US interests. The fact that they did well in this war might be a good performance in the eyes of the US political leadership and policy-makers, but not in the eyes of large sections of Pakistani public opinion.
Lieutenant generals promoted as four star generals
- Lieutenant General Ehsanul Haq, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee. He replaces General Mohammad Aziz Khan, who retires on October 7. He was the DG of the ISI, till his promotion.
- Lieutenant General Ahsan Saleem Hayat, Vice-Chief of Army Staff. He replaces General Muhammad Yusuf Khan, who also retires on October 7. He was the corps commander, Karachi, till his promotion and survived an assassination attempt by the International Islamic Front on June 10.
Lieutenant generals reshuffled
- Lieutenant General Ashfaq Kiani. Replaces Ehsanul Haq as DG, ISI. He was corps commander, Rawalpindi.
- Lieutenant General Shahid Hameed, corps commander, Quetta, posted as commandant, National Defence College on retirement following supersession of Lieutenant General Wasim Ghazi.
Major generals promoted to lieutenant general
- Lieutenant General Syed Ather Ali, corps commander, Karachi.
- Lieutenant General Mohammad Afzal Muzaffar, corps commander, 2nd Strike Corps, Multan.
- Lieutenant General Hamid Rabnawaz, corps commander, Quetta.
- Lieutenant General Salahuddin Satti, corps commander, Rawalpindi.
- Lieutenant General Mohammad Sabir, corps commander, Gujranwala.
- Lieutenant General Imtiaz Hussain will continue as director-general, weapons and equipment, on his promotion.
- Lieutenant General Wasim Ashraf appointed as adjutant-general to succeed Lieutenant General Faiz Gillani, who retires this month.
Lieutenant generals who retired on being superseded
- Lieutenant General Mohammad Akram. He was corps commander, 2nd strike Corps, Multan.
- Lieutenant General Javed Hasan. He was corps commander, Gujranwala. During the Kargil conflict, he was in charge of the operations as Commander FCNA (Force Command Northern Areas). He has been superseded reportedly because of his poor performance, which led to the death of hundreds of Pakistani soldiers at the hands of the Indian Army.
- Lieutenant General Munir Hafeiz, Chairman, National Accountability Bureau. He is to retire from the army on October 30, on reaching the age of superannuation, but will continue as Chairman, NAB, in a civilian capacity till October 2005 when his tenure in that post expires.
Lieutenant Generals who have been superseded, but will continue in their present posts
- Lieutenant General Hamid Javed, currently chief of staff with General Musharraf. He is already under extension for a year after reaching the age of superannuation. He has never held an independent charge of a corps and, hence, was not eligible for consideration for promotion.
- The position of Lieutenant General S P Shahid, corps commander, Bhawalpur, who has also been superseded is not clear. Since no one has been appointed in his place, it is possible that, despite his supersession, he has chosen to continue in the post till his date of superannuation on April 30, 2005.

Faves in high places: What part of the Paramount looks best?
Kristen Gleason, Paramount director of community relations: "I really love the paint motif on the barrel vaults in the lobby. The only reason we have that motif is there was one little section leftthey were painted over with redand that was original...it was so close to being lost forever."
David Nobles, project supervisor for Nielson Construction: "All the gold." He was also relieved to see the murals survive the demolition required to excavate the basement. "The murals on the wall are just immaculate."
Donald Leffert, Paramount production manager: "The auditorium itself. Tony Bennett said it best that they just don't build 'em like this anymore. The pure beauty of it."
Alex Caines, Paramount house manager: Caines says it's a toss-up between the lobby's aqua porcelain drinking fountain, known as "the bubbler," and the theater's marquee.
Sandy DeKay, Paramount assistant to the executive director: "The two hand-painted silk tapestries in the auditorium. They have always been the symbol of The Paramount for me. As a child at the movies, I would always stare at them. I just loved them, and I still do."
Chad Hershner, Paramount executive director: "My favorite thing is the silk tapestrieshow they were transformed from what they were. They're just beautiful and exquisite."
Devyn Wildy, 12-year-old Paramount movie-goer: "I like the screening and the surround sound."

The retina is the tissue that lines the back of the eye. It sends visual signals to the brain. The macula is part of the retina. It is responsible for central vision. Macular degeneration is the most common cause of destruction of the macula in older adults. It causes a gradual loss of sharp, central vision. The condition is mainly a disease of aging. In rare cases, it can occur in younger people.
Macular Degeneration
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
There are 2 types of adult (or age-related) macular degeneration (AMD):
- Dry AMD—This occurs when an area of the retina becomes diseased. This leads to a slow breakdown of cells in the macula. The central vision is gradually lost. Dry AMD accounts for the majority of cases.
- Wet AMD—As dry AMD worsens, new blood vessels may begin to grow. These new blood vessels often leak blood and fluid under the macula. This can lead to permanent damage of the macular region. Wet AMD is not common. But, it accounts for the majority of blindness from this disease.
The cause of AMD is not known.
Risk Factors
Risk Factors
The risk of AMD increases with age. AMD is most commonly seen in women and in people who are Caucasian. Other factors that may increase your chance of getting AMD include:
- Family members with AMD
- Smoking
- Heavy alcohol use
- Excessive exposure to sunlight
- Cardiovascular risks, such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol
- A diet that is low in green, leafy vegetables
In some people, AMD advances slowly. It has little effect on their vision. In others, the disease moves faster. It may lead to significant vision loss. Neither dry AMD nor wet AMD causes pain.
Symptoms may include:
- Blurred vision
- Difficulty seeing details in front of you, such as faces or words in a book
- Blurred vision that goes away in brighter light
- A small, but growing blind spot in the middle of your field of vision
- Straight lines (such as door frames) appear crooked or distorted
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. AMD may be suspected if you are older and have had recent changes in your central vision. A specialist will look for signs of the disease with an eye exam. Eye drops will be used to dilate (enlarge) your pupils. This will allow a view of the back of the eye.
You may also be asked to view an Amsler grid. This is a pattern that looks like a checkerboard. Changes in your central vision will cause the grid to appear distorted. This is a sign of AMD.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment options for you. Options may include:
Dry AMD
Research has suggested certain high-dose vitamins and minerals may slow the progression of the disease in some people.
Wet AMD
Laser Photocoagulation
This procedure is used in some cases of wet AMD. A strong laser light beam is aimed at the new blood vessels. The beam destroys the vessels. It usually takes less than 30 minutes to complete. You may need more laser treatments. This treatment is used less often than newer treatments.
Photodynamic Therapy
This procedure involves injecting a light-sensitive dye into your blood. The affected areas in the back of the eye are then treated with a special laser light. The light activates the dye to destroy certain blood vessels. It takes less than 30 minutes. You may need to have additional treatments.
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Inhibitor
Another way to treat wet AMD is an injection of a special medication. It is called a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor. The medication is injected into the vitreous (fluid) in the back of the eye. It usually needs to be repeated multiple times.
There are no current guidelines to prevent AMD. For overall eye health:
- Have regular eye exams. The exams should include dilation to closely look at the retina.
- If you smoke, talk with your doctor about how you can quit.
- Eat a healthy diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables.
- Consider omega-3 fatty acid supplements.

Fall is a great time to add plants to your yard, Norm Schilling has a list for your next trip to the nursery.
Like many Mojave gardeners, I have a couple of dwarf trees, plums and nectarines, for my own fruit in the late spring.
Temperatures are cooling down – some – in the Las Vegas valley, and Norm Schilling has a look at the casualties of summer.
Nobody would ever call the Mojave Desert a commercially important fruit production region, but home orchards are popular, and no wonder.
An aging pool brings all kinds of problems. Even though we love the lush look of plants surrounding a pool, Norm Schilling explains it's a potentially expensive dilemma.
Over a decade ago on this show, I talked about the opening of Cooperative Extension's office in Green Valley.
Resist the urge to feed the bad habits of your desert trees says Norm Schilling. There's water from the sky this week, but let desert trees do what they do best.
Before Summer heat kicks in Norm Schilling says take advantage of a window for transplanting. Some of the commonest plants in our yards are easy to propagate and now's the time to do it.
Weeds are uninvited guests. They arrive unannounced, take up space, consume valuable assets (like water and soil nutrients) and just won't leave, despite our best efforts.
If you've really been unlucky, you might have looked at your yard, vegetable garden or raised bed and discovered that you had an abundance of a white-flowered vining plant just appearing all over.

Bill Okal's opening line is one of the oldest tricks in the close-up magic book: undersell your talent, then dazzle them with your best cards.
"I really only do two tricks," the Bakersfield resident says apologetically to the two families standing in front of him on the Santa Monica Pier on a recent Saturday morning. He taps on three brass demi-cups perched upside down on a weathered cabaret table with pom-pom trim. "One is with cups, which I'm sure you've seen before…. The other, if you're ready for this, is the legendary egg trick of Max Malini!"
The 76-year-old magician cups his hand to his ear. "Folks, this is not television, I need a little more enthusiasm if we're going to make this work," he continues, flashing a Cheshire grin. On cue, everyone laughs and a dozen more passersby stop, enough for the show to go on.
INTERACTIVE: Tour Los Angeles' boulevards
Traditional street shows can be a tough sell in today's era of mystifying televised performances by high-profile illusionists and endurance artists such as David Blaine and Criss Angel. But for Okal, captivating unsuspecting passersby with ages-old tricks is a thrill that, for now at least, is worth the hassle. Most Thursdays or Fridays, Okal leaves his wife and grip glue behind (he repairs golf clubs in his spare time) to make the four-hour round-trip commute to Santa Monica.
His first trick of the morning, if he's lucky: landing a lottery-driven performance spot.
"I love the whole process of street performing, the hard work of getting people to actually want to watch you," he says after a performance, wiping sweat from beneath his bolo hat. "Problem is, it's gotten really difficult recently to get a spot."
The challenge is securing one of the city's premier and tourist-flooded outdoor street stages (at the Pier, Third Street Promenade or Transit Mall). In Santa Monica, the parks, beaches and other public areas are "open" performance spots. Los Angeles has a similar policy; street performing is legal without a permit, though restrictions like sound limits and whether performers can ask for donations vary widely.
The Pier also operated on a first-come, first-serve basis until 2010, when the city set up a lottery system to address the physical confrontations that often broke out between performers, says Aurora Piña, pier operations manager.

A snake charmer who goes simply by Pharaoh puts it more bluntly. "It got rough sometimes, some pretty bad fights," he says, chatting with Okal after a recent lottery, snake-filled suitcase in tow.
Though Okal once landed a performance venue regularly, he considers a "good weekend" booking two morning spots. Each of the pier's 24 designated venues is divided into three-hour performance increments , but eight of those spots are unavailable while the Pier undergoes a 12-month renovation. Okal doesn't try for the afternoon slots because of the heat.
According to Piña, as many as 50 street artists (musicians, jugglers, cartoonists and the like) compete for those limited spots on summer weekends. Some prefer to camp out in the park on Ocean Drive rather than deal with the lottery, but Okal still holds out for the possibility of a captive ocean-front audience, even if that means performing only once over the weekend. "People don't pay attention, there's too much going on," he says of the Promenade and parks.
The Pier also sees more than 6.5 million visitors annually, pretty good odds that some passerby might not have seen one of the oldest-known illusions.
Cups and balls
"This trick is so old, there is a painting of it on a wall in Egypt," he says, pausing for effect halfway through the show. He rotates three brass demi-cups filled with tiny balls around his table. (Whether the Egyptian mural depicts the "cups and balls" trick or a different game is debated among scholars; the trick dates at least to Roman times, when stones and vinegar cups were used.)
Okal lifts the cups and almost everyone in the crowd, now more than three-dozen viewers strong, gasps; the tiny balls have been replaced by baseballs. "You're not going to believe this, but a lot of times I do that, folks actually also applaud," he jokes, clearly enjoying himself with the show in full swing.
Okal, a self-described "shy kid" from Springville, N.Y., wasn't always so comfortable onstage. He met his first group of conjurers in the late 1950s when he hit the wrong elevator button to his community college dorm room floor and "suddenly the door opens to all of these magicians doing tricks." He stayed all night.
PHOTOS: Arts and culture in pictures by The Times
In 1961 he put the card tricks on hold and enlisted in the U.S. Army Band Program. An Army pal told him about a magician named Eddie Fechter who owned several bar venues in the Buffalo area. "I spent so much time at Eddie's bars, he finally told me I had to either do something or go away," jokes Okal.
After performing the two tricks he had mastered, making a coin appear to vanish and bottom-dealing cards, he got his first late-night gig. "I guess he liked it, because after that, he'd tell everyone: 'Here comes Bill Okal, the great bottom dealer."
Sleight-of-hand illusions such as "bottom dealing" (appearing to deal from the top of a deck while pulling cards from the bottom) are known in the industry as close-up magic. It's an evolving if not exactly dying art.
After that first bottom deal, Okal spent the next decade working in a law office by day and making the close-up magic rounds at night. Fechter eventually named one of his performance rooms after Okal; the two, along with magician "Obie" O'Brien, founded a convention dedicated solely to close-up magic called the 4Fs (Fechter's Finger Flicking Frolic). Still, the magic remained in the hobbyist realm.
"It wasn't until I moved to California that I really discovered what street performing was all about," he says. He began performing on the San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf and Ghirardelli Square before eventually landing a coveted spot on Pier 39. Each venue was privately owned, so performers were chosen based on skill — a luxury, he would later learn.

Performing in Buffalo-area bars "back when everyone was doing shots all night" had its own audience attention span challenges. But the California streets were different. "The hardest part is getting the first ones to stop," Okal says of his wary, wandering audience.
Throughout the 1990s the "congenial conjurer," as Okal describes himself on business cards, supplemented his wavering street show income by performing private shows, among them a lucrative multi-year gig for corporate clients in Japan. After moving to Bakersfield with his current wife, he paid the bills with a variety of odd jobs, including a stint selling cookware in outdoor malls and other impromptu venues.
"I guess I was good at selling salad spinners because it was a live show, really," he says, shrugging.
He gave the Santa Monica Pier a try for the first time three years ago while house-sitting for friend and local magician Alan Hayden. "You always have to figure out a new performance space, how to make it work," says Okal, who still stays at Hayden's home most weekends (the two occasionally perform together at the members-only Magic Castle in Hollywood).
Nearing the end of his show, Okal jokes that he needs "a big, burly man" as he pulls Savanna Sanchez, a petite 14-year-old from Sacramento, to the front of his makeshift stage. He uses the time to do "a few fun old tricks," like making sponge balls appear and disappear around her head, and to remind the audience to stick around for his "legendary" egg trick — and the traditional passing of the donation hat.
"Folks, if you could pay after you went to the movies depending on whether you liked it, wouldn't that be neat?" he asks, standing beside five eggs precariously perched on top of a plastic tray that is balanced on water-filled drinking glasses.
With his eggs at the ready, Okal puts on a blindfold then quickly pulls out the plastic tray. All five eggs land unscathed in the drinking glasses below. The audience cheers like they've just watched Houdini's famous underwater shackle escape trick for the first time.
The showmanship works as well as the magic tricks. Okal's hat fills with singles, fives, even the occasional 20. "I've gotten better at [the hat passing] part too," he says, grinning after the show.

Another prominent conservative legal scholar says high court should uphold ObamaCare
You can add Columbia University Law Professor Henry Paul Monaghan, a man of impeccable conservative credentials, to the list of rightist legal scholars who think the Supreme Court should rule that the Affordable Care Act is constitutional.
Writing for the Web site of The New Republic, Monaghan MADE HIS CASE that ObamaCare's "individual health mandate surely passes constitutional muster under settled judicial principles."
Moreover, the market for health care is distinctive (if not entirely unique) in several key respects. Virtually all of us will need and obtain health care at some point, but we often cannot predict when or in what ways we will need it. And for the vast majority of us, direct payment for the health care services we obtain would be prohibitively expensive. Yet not obtaining needed medical care can be the difference between life and death.
These features help explain why, unlike many other markets, insurance is the overwhelmingly dominant means of payment in the health care market. They also explain why Congress has required that individuals be given emergency care without regard to their ability to pay. As a result, and again unlike other markets, uninsured individuals who are unable to pay directly for needed medical services necessarily shift the cost of those services to others—to health care providers, the government, individuals with insurance, and taxpayers.
In that way, Congress is not creating a market which it then seeks to regulate. The insurance-based structure of the health care market is already firmly in place. That is why it was well within Congress's discretion to design legislation to operate within, and to address problems posed by, this vast market.
Mike Sacks says THIS of Monaghan's essay:
Monaghan's arguments echo not only those made by the federal government in its briefs and at oral argument, but also those of the handful of other Reagan-era graybeards of the conservative legal movement who have backed Obamacare's constitutionality in the two years leading up to the Supreme Court's review…
What makes Monaghan's piece unique, however, is that it comes after the oral arguments in which the conservative justices upended conventional wisdom in their apparently enthusiastic embrace of the position put forward by the mandate's challengers, despite the calls for restraint coming from right-of-center jurists who made their names decrying judicial activism.
6 Comments
He was likely paid off by one of the Obama re-election corps.
Anyone who claims the mandate is Constitutional automatically loses their "Conservative Card" regardless of previous positions or statements made.
Tim May – To be fair, the healthcare bill was not pushed through in the middle of the night. The original draft passed by the House was, but thankfully the threat of the Senate filibuster stopped it dead in its tracks. The original bill included the public option, and criminal punishment for those not possessing health insurance.
Fortunately, there was a 6-month debate on the issue before the revised bill which thankfully had no public option was passed by both chambers and signed into law. (Some parts of the bill are good, such as now making it illegal to deny coverage for those with pre-existing conditions. Other parts of the bill really suck, such as the new government bureaucracies and the mandates.
You can't separate the mandate from the ability to deny coverage for pre existing conditions.
Obama wants to be scotch?
I think you might mean Chavez. The comparison means so much when you can even spell what you comparing.
Ooops typos. Can't and you're

When Anthony Smith made his college decision Friday, the significance was not lost on him.
Smith verbally committed to the United State Air Force Academy while on a visit to the school. He will become the first NCAA Division I scholarship player in Bluffton High's nine-year history when he signs a national letter of intent Wednesday.
"That means a whole lot to me," said Smith, a four-year starter at defensive back and a recent all-state selection.
Smith will be one of at least six Bluffton seniors to sign with colleges at noon Wednesday in a national signing day ceremony at the school.
Quarterback C.J. Frazier plans to sign with Division II Newberry and linebacker Kyle Waddell has verbally committed to NAIA Southeastern's new program.
Running back Tykeem Major, cornerback Jeremy Scott and linebacker Jaquan Campbell will sign with Greenville Tech.
Smith received offers from Air Force and Presbyterian on Jan. 21. He committed to Presbyterian when the school offered in the morning and had to reconsider when Air Force offered late in the day.
Smith decided to stick with Presbyterian until he could get a visit to the academy's Colorado Springs, Colo., campus.
Smith and his family flew Thursday to Colorado and toured the campus Friday. He sat in on a few classes and talked to coaches and players before deciding to change his commit to the Falcons.
"The thing that stuck out is it's like a brotherhood," Smith said of the Air Force student body. "They go through basic training together and then those guys are friends for life."
Smith said he will spend a redshirt year playing for the academy's prep school team before joining the varsity in 2014 with four years of eligibility remaining.
Though he is Bluffton's first Division I player, Smith knows he certainly won't be the last.
Sophomore teammate Shameik Blackshear got plenty of recruiting attention last week when South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier made a brief visit to see him Wednesday.
The 6-foot-5 inch, 230-pound defensive end received his fifth major-college scholarship offer when Florida defensive line coach Brad Lawing visited Thursday. He now has offers from South Carolina, Clemson, Florida, North Carolina and North Carolina State.
Junior defensive tackle K.J. Ford also has been recruited by Division I schools like South Carolina, Clemson, N.C. State and Massachusetts. He is waiting to receive his first offer.
"All it is, is a start," Smith said of his Division I commitment. "We're going to have many more guys who do it. We all know there are two guys who are going to do it soon, so you haven't seen anything yet. It's an honor to be the first."
Bluffton's six committed players could have company Wednesday, coach Ken Cribb said.
Offensive linemen Yerko Castedo and Austin Chittum will wait through the weekend to see if Catawba will offer them scholarships.
Cribb said receiver Marquis Webber is in talks with several junior colleges and he expects linebacker Rogan Ferguson to receive a college offer after signing day.
Receiver Demetrius Smalls is being recruited by Army's sprint team, Cribb said, and is seeking an appointment to the school. In sprint football, players must meet a 172-pound weight limit.
Kicker Mallie Sprouse intends to walk on at South Carolina. Cribb said Sprouse has been admitted to the school and has informed the Gamecocks of his intentions to go out for the team.
"I'm really excited for this group, but at the same time it's disheartening because I know I won't have them back," Cribb said. "But that's high school football."
Bluffton athletic director Dave Adams, who was the school's first football coach, said the number of players going to college has jumped since Cribb arrived in 2010.
The Bobcats have reached three consecutive state semifinals, sending five players to college in 2010 and four in 2011.
"If you're successful, that record gets colleges' attention," Adams said. "Coaches will think, 'Surely, they've got some athletes there.' "
What: Signing day ceremony
When: Noon Wednesday
Where: Bluffton High School

After and on-again, off-again week of work on my own research, an interesting challenge came along yesterday. I'd received my weekly email from adoption.com, (which I subscribe to because one of my brothers is adopted and I'm trying to make some headway into finding his birth family, if possible). Anyway, I was reading a post in that newsletter which was from a 66 year old adoptee making a plea for information about her birth family. She stated that her case was probably "hopeless" because of her age, but said she'd been searching for 40 years and would never give up. She knew the name of her birth parents, as well as her mother's occupation and the name and location of the hospital she was born in! Well, of course my genealogist-minded wheels started turning, so I emailed her right away and made some suggestions as to sites she could check to try to find her birth family. I also offered to do look-ups for her, if she was interested, and she wrote back and asked if I would. Here's what I sent her:
Hi Patti,I read your plea on the adoption newsletter, and I just wanted to send you a quick note with a suggestion, if you haven't tried this already. I am a family researcher/genealogist, and as I read your entry, I couldn't help but wonder if you've tried to use any genealogical resources to perhaps locate the family members, ie. siblings, neices, nephews etc. of your birth parents. There are many resources available right here on the web that might point you to them, especially since it is most likely that both of your parents should have been born prior to 1930, and there for should be easily found in their birth families in the 1930 and perhaps even the 1920 census.You should try ancestry.com or familysearch.org to see if you can find them. If you'd like, I will do the lookup for you, but I'll wait to hear from you first.Good luck in your continued search.Renate
Meanwhile, Pattie (the adoptee) must've decided to take a look on ancestry.com herself, because I got an email from her today saying that she'd run across a post on a message board that looked like it might be about her! Check this out: (I initialized all of the surnames for her privacy.)
Another development this morning: a poster on ancestry.com was looking for a Patricia Lee R. with my birthdate and born at John Sealey Hosp. Mother is EVA or ANNA R, who married a Clifford P and had 8 children. Eva/Anna got around, apparently and was also married to J. L. R (or Lee R), and also to James Douglas S.
Now I hate to be an imposition. These are a lot of names. I would expect to compensate you. I appreciate your help, but this is getting to be a LOT of names. Yet, this is a pretty hot lead. What are the chances of a Patricia Lee R and a Patricia Lee P born on same day, same hospital, with a mother married to a Clifford P?
I am so excited. I got so much response to my post. I wish I had done it years ago. Truth is, I did TRY to post years ago, repeatedly. Adoption.com didn't print it. Until now. Things happen when they are meant to, I guess.
Thank you. Pattie
Isn't this cool! I never thought I'd be using my genealogical skills (lol) to help someone in this way, but I got Pattie to link me into the post on ancestry, and I'm almost 100% sure that she's found a connection to her birth family, and it was so easy! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for her, but this was just so exciting, I just had to share it with all of you - my new-found genealogy friends!
Formerly, "Just Thinking", this blog presents the thoughts and experiences of a family historian working to demystify the past and uncover the stories of an elusive ancestry. NC surnames are YARBOROUGH, GREEN, HAWKINS, DUNSTON, DAVIS, BROWN, ROSS, HILL, BRYANT, and DAVENPORT in Franklin, Warren, Halifax, and Tyrrell Counties. With so much of my family's history shrouded in darkness, is my personal mission to uncover the hidden details of my ancestry and bring them INTO THE LIGHT.

As work continues behind the scenes, the goal of renovating Gastonia�s busiest intersection remains on track to begin in summer 2015.
Many have questioned whether the state�s plan for redesigning the I-85/U.S. 321 interchange will be effective enough. Rising traffic counts and growth are prompting fears that by the time the project is completed, another needed upgrade won�t be far off.
But N.C. Department of Transportation officials say they already have some ideas for how incremental improvements can be made in the next two decades.
�We do have an alternative,� said Jim Dunlop, a DOT congestion management engineer.
Daily headaches
Gaston County residents and commuters between Charlotte and Hickory have long lamented the traffic congestion they encounter at I-85/U.S. 321. Patchwork enhancements there have helped to make the driving experience less frustrating there in recent years. But a more large-scale fix is still badly needed.
The biggest traffic backups now occur due to vehicles on U.S. 321 South attempting to merge onto I-85 North.
The DOT and Federal Highway Administration are working on the overall redesign.
The approved plan to rebuild the nexus will cost more than $12.5 million, forcing four businesses to relocate. What�s known as the �split left� option will lead traffic on U.S. 321 south to merge with I-85 North via a unique, split left intersection just north of the interchange.
The DOT says it will be the cheapest and most effective solution, requiring less time for construction, compared to other options that were considered. The state has approved $20 million to carry out the work.
Eyeing the future
The problem with the split left design is that it will cause U.S. 321 South traffic to stop at a traffic signal. When those vehicles finally get a green light to turn left, traffic on U.S. 321 North will have to stop and wait for them to pass.
Critics have predicted that design will outlive its usefulness in no time, with Charlotte-area growth only expected to continue.
Dunlop acknowledged that�s been a fear. But engineers have already begun thinking about ways to address it.
Once another upgrade is needed in the years to come, one option would be to briefly elevate U.S. 321 North, so traffic moving in that direction could continue without impeding the 321 South-to-85 North traffic. It would involve building a small flyover ramp on 321 North.
The traffic signals along U.S. 321 at Rankin Lake Road and Tulip Avenue would likely be removed, Dunlop said.
�Basically, it would make that left turn a free-flow turn,� he said.
Right of way acquisition for the initial redesign of the interchange is set to begin in early 2014.
You can reach Michael Barrett at 704-869-1826 or twitter.com/GazetteMike.
Details on the �split left� redesign of the I-85/U.S. 321 interchange
Construction cost: $11.3 million
Right of way cost: $1.2 million
Total cost: $12.5 million
Traffic on U.S. 321 South will merge with I-85 North via a unique, split left intersection just north of the interchange
Traffic on U.S. 321 North will merge with I-85 North via a new right turn, south of the interchange
Four businesses will be forced to relocate
DOT says it will be the cheaper and more effective solution, requiring less time for construction

Free movement is where goods, including food products, can freely move within the EU without customs checks (although there may be national controls where there are risks to public health). If you are exporting food products from the UK to another EU country, contact the authority in the destination country, or their foreign embassy in the UK, to check if there are any specific restrictions. Back to top Exporting to non-EU countriesIf you are commercially exporting food from the UK to a non-EU country (a 'third country'), it is your responsibility to ensure that you are aware of any restrictions and what export conditions apply. You need to do this before food can be exported to the third country. In the UK, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and its agencies are the lead for international exports. Advice on exporting can be found on Defra's website via the link on the right hand side of this page. What you need to do will depend on the food product you want to export and the third country you are exporting to. Export of unauthorised feed additives Additives that have not been authorised in accordance with Regulation (EC) 1831/2003 on feed additives may be exported to third countries only if certain requirements are observed. More information can be found via the link towards the end of this page. Back to top Export certificatesThe FSA is not responsible for issuing export certificates for food items. Our role in relation to third country exports is to provide support to Defra and its agencies, and provide advice and guidance for UK local authorities. Certain third countries may require food exports to be certified by a UK government authority before being exported. Export Health Certificates (EHCs) A list of available EHCs can be found on Defra's website via the link on the right hand side of this page. The certificates are issued by Animal Health's International Trade Centre at Carlisle to accompany certain export consignments. These primarily relate to exports of products of animal origin. Contact details for the International Trade Centre can be found on the Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency (AHVLA) website via the link to the right. Plants, grain, bulbs, fruit, vegetables and other plant products Plant health exportation services are delivered by the Food and Environment Research Agency (Fera) for plants, plant products (including grain and bulbs), fruit and vegetables, potatoes (including seed potatoes) and seeds. Advice on plant health exports can be found on the Fera website via the link to the right. Certificates of Free Sale Certificates of Free Sale are issued by the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) to accompany certain food products upon export. The standard certificate gives assurances that the food products are free from harmful radioactive material, are fit for human consumption and are freely sold in Britain and Northern Ireland. For information on Certificates of Free Sale, and export licences for specific commodities, contact the RPA directly. RPA contact details can be found via the link to the right. Other products For food products not covered by the above, you may wish to contact your local authority for advice. You can use our online search tool via the link below to find your nearest local authority.

The New York Times has been running the series "Race Remixed," which examines the "growing number of mixed-race Americans." I have found this series really interesting, particularly the below video. I would be really interested in hearing your thoughts on the series in general, the topic, and the video specifically.

NY Times Series: Race Remixed
1 comment:
I watched this video, and also went to their site and watch the one on mixed marriages in the south.
In the college video, I think there is a little bit of naivety in thinking that as multi-racial people increase racism will decrease. I think it will just be along less delineated lines as 'black' and 'white' or 'asian'.
It was great to see the welcoming environment of the university, and also the acceptance of being able to say "I'm white and black".

U.S. wholesale prices increased at a seasonally adjusted rate of 0.5% last month, according to the Labor Department, the first time this metric has risen in three months and ahead of the 0.1% that economist were expecting for the producer price index.

'A jaw for a tooth' a biased report
N T Ospovat
Suite 1504, Chris Barnard Memorial Hospital, 181 Longmarket Street, Cape Town, firstname.lastname@example.com
To the Editor: I take the strongest exception to your unashamed political diatribe against Israel.1
The SAMJ is NOT a forum for political articles masquerading under the guise of humanitarian medical concern. You could have found more truthful and pertinent examples closer to home.
However, I note that you adopted statements from Jimmy Carter and Larry King as definitive comment regarding Israel's culpability. You also use extreme leftist group opinion in Israel to support your argument. Your report is unbalanced and one-sided, totally lacking factual information on what took place on the ground, and has nothing to do with the practice of medicine. You are clearly unaware of all the many serious cases of Arab children and adults from Gaza who receive First-World medical treatment (free) in Israeli hospitals. You are also unaware of the published facts regarding the so-called 'civilian' casualties in Gaza, which WOULD give a very different slant to your one-sided Israel-bashing exercise. I suggest you do more research and get your facts straight.
I feel very strongly that you have stepped outside your bounds as a medical journal editor, and a written apology in the SAMJ would be appropriate.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- Keenan Reynolds completed a 4-yard touchdown pass to Matt Aiken with 2:02 to play and Nick Sloan added the point after as Navy rallied for a 31-30 win over Indiana on Saturday.
Parrish Gaines' interception with 1:38 remaining sealed the win for the Midshipmen (4-3), who beat a Big Ten opponent for the first time since 1979 when they won at Illinois 13-12.
Earlier in the game, Navy linebacker Jordan Drake's 24-yard interception return had cut the Hoosiers' lead to 17-14.
The win also kept the Midshipmen's bowl hopes alive as they need just two wins in their final five games to return to postseason play.
It was the fifth straight loss for Indiana (2-5) and came despite the fact the Hoosiers moved the ball almost at will against Navy for most of the first three quarters and gained 417 yards on 78 plays.
Indiana led 30-21 with 12:18 left. The Hoosiers had also led Navy 17-7 after opening the game with scoring drives of 67, 50 and 72 yards.
The Midshipmen led only once before the winning score when they took a 21-20 lead on Darius Staten's 17-yard run with 7:37 to play in the third period.
Indiana countered with drives of 58 and 80 yards, yielding a 30-yard field goal by Mitch Ewald and a 3-yard run by Tevin Coleman.
Reynolds, a freshman starting just his second game, led Navy on scoring drives of 74 yards on 16 plays and 72 yards on nine plays to win the game.
The first drive ended in Sloan's 18-yard field goal as the Midshipmen were held at the 1 after a drive that lasted almost 7 minutes.
Then, after Navy held the Hoosiers on downs, the Midshipmen got the ball back at their own 28 with 4:48 to play. On the winning drive, Gee Gee Greene caught a 21-yard pass from Reynolds and added a 22-yard run to move the ball to the Hoosiers' 21.
Reynolds completed 8 of 13 passes for 96 yards and also rushed for 66 yards on 17 carries. Greene had 88 yards on 15 rushes and caught two passes for 35 yards as Navy gained 353 yards, 233 in the second half.
Indiana quarterback Cameron Coffman completed 25 of 37 passes for 244 yards and the Hoosiers also rushed for 173 yards, led by Stephen Houston's 82 yards.
Shane Wynn and Kofi Hughes each had seven catches for Indiana.

One of three traveling photo workshops (Big Bend National Park, TX; Santa Fe, NM; Silverton, CO) offered by the Photographic Center in Dallas, under the direction of Rick Eilers, the owner.
