Knee Injuries Health Byte
Sports offer the chance to build skills, relationships, and sportsmanship, but they can also lead to injury. One of the body parts most susceptible to injury is the knee. The knee is a complicated biological mechanism made up of cartilage, tendons, and ligaments that is vital to most daily activities.
Knee injuries in sports are generally caused by twisting or turning the knee, which damages the tendons and ligaments. Occasionally, the knee is hit hard or suffers extreme impact, which can break bones in the joint. Most of these injuries present pain and swelling. To learn more about sports-related knee injuries, watch this short video.
An orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine is the best person to help you relieve sports injuries to your knee. If you need the help of an orthopedic surgeon in Arizona, contact TOCA, The Orthopedic Clinic Association. We have multiple locations serving the Phoenix and Scottsdale areas. Call us today at (602) 639-4027.

Orange Butter Shells
James Carrier
Prep and Cook Time: about 1 hour. Notes: Madeleine pans have shell-shaped indentations and are usually used to make the sponge cake-like cookie traditional in France, but it's a charming shape for any cookie. If you have only one pan, you can bake these orange-flavored cookies in batches; be sure to cool the pan under cold running water and dry it thoroughly before baking the next batch. You can store the cookies airtight at room temperature up to 3 days.
Yield: Makes about 18 cookies

SOUTH EUCLID, OHIO – The Lake Erie College wrestling team split its first four bouts Sunday afternoon (Jan. 27) before second-ranked Notre Dame College pulled away by winning the final six contests en route to a 33-6 victory at Murphy Gymnasium, snapping the Storm's three-match winning streak.
With sophomores Ian Ross (Newark, N.Y./Newark) and Nate Ball (Wadsworth, Ohio/Wadsworth) picking up decision victories at 125 and 149 pounds, respectively, the Storm (9-4, 1-2 GLIAC) trailed just 9-6 with middle weights coming up.
Three of the next four matches were decisions decided by three points or less, but all went the way of the Falcons (6-1, 2-0 GLIAC). Louden Gordon beat junior Zak Vargo (Stow, Ohio/Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy), 6-5, at 157 pounds and then Joey Davis edged sophomore All-American Matt Vandermeer (Clarkston, Mich./Clarkston) 5-2 in a match-up of the top two ranked wrestlers at 165 pounds.
Eric Burgey, ranked third at 174 pounds, defeated junior Tyler Tesny (Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio/Cuyahoga Falls), 12-6, in a match that Tesny led in the third period. Charles Mason then held off junior Zev Green (Marysville, Ohio/Marysville) 3-1 in a close match at 184 pounds, putting Notre Dame up 21-6.
Earlier, at 133 pounds, Marty Carlson decisioned Austin Gillihan (Corry, Pa./Corry Area) 12-8 in another contest where the Storm held a lead late.
"We got two good wins early from Ian and Nate, and we had chances in a lot of other individual matches," said head coach Kevin Hoogenboom. "Seven of the 10 matches today went down to the wire, especially those four in the middle. We just weren't able to get any of those to go our way and you need to be able to do that to beat a good team like Notre Dame."
The Falcons distanced themselves on the scoreboard with a pair of wins at 197 pounds and heavyweight.
The Storm will face their third nationally ranked team in four dual matches—and fourth in six contests – when they travel to ninth-ranked West Liberty University on Thursday, Jan. 31, for a nonconference dual.

By JONATHAN LEMIRE | AP
NEW YORK (AP) — New York City voters disagree with Mayor Bill de Blasio on several key policies during his first year in office, according to a poll released Wednesday.
Eight-six percent of voters support universal pre-kindergarten but they prefer Gov. Andrew Cuomo's plan to pay for it from the state budget over de Blasio's plan to raise taxes on the rich by a margin of 54 percent to 35 percent, according the Quinnipiac University poll.
The tax hike, the mayor's signature campaign promise, appears to be on life support in Albany. But the state Senate voted last week to allocate $540 million in the state budget to the city for pre-kindergarten, a figure in line with what de Blasio says New York needs and one that is far more than what Cuomo originally proposed.
De Blasio has suggested that Cuomo's plan does not contain realistic funding, likening it to "free candy."
"This poll confirms that people in New York City support universal pre-kindergarten," said mayoral spokesman Phil Walzak. "Mayor de Blasio has been the driving force behind this issue and putting it in the public discourse."
Voters appear split on charter schools: 40 percent believe de Blasio should increase the number of the privately run but publicly funded schools, while 39 percent believe the number should stay the same and 14 say it should be decreased. De Blasio has long sought to slow down expansion of charter schools but has said he does not plan to eliminate them.
But his administration was caught off-guard by the opposition it faced this month after it decided to overturn three of the 17 charters given free rent in public schools during the finals days of Michael Bloomberg's administration. Within days, Cuomo also gave a full-throated defense of charter schools, and a multimillion-dollar ad campaign was launched attacking the mayor's decision, which de Blasio staffers believe shaped the public impression that the mayor opposes the schools.
Moreover, 64 percent of voters say they disagree with de Blasio's decision to ban carriage horses from the city streets and Central Park while only 24 percent support his stance. De Blasio made the carriage horse ban a campaign promise but has come under increased criticism from those— including from actor Liam Neeson — who believe the horses are a city institution and that banning them would cost dozens of people their jobs.
"The mayor has been very clear that he thinks that in the 21st century horses have no place on busy New York City streets," Walzak said. The mayor has proposed replacing them with electric cars.
The poll has a margin of error of 2.8 percentage points.
It comes a day after another Quinnipiac poll found that 44 percent of voters approve of de Blasio's job performance while 34 percent disapprove. He scored far lower than the 62 percent approval rating Bloomberg received at the same point of his first term, but that 2002 poll was taken mere months after the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

Most of my thinking on business development for creative firms is published over in the newsletter section. I'm using this area primarily to discuss any upcoming programs or events.
Visual Literacy | 19 November 2007
As a creative services firm one of your strengths should be the ability to communicate complex information and key insights visually. In any strategic engagement or in the strategic phases (diagnostic and strategic direction setting) of any engagement the ability to communicate information visually separates you from consultants and other non-creative competitors who prefer to present complex information via long reports.

In a season filled with miserable moments, the Ottawa Senators finally received some good news as they learned that playmaker Jason Spezza was set to make his return to the Sens lineup in time for Saturday's tilt against the New York Islanders.
"I feel good so I'm hoping to play Saturday," Spezza told reporters following practice on Thursday. "I'll have another good practice (on Friday) and I'm excited to get back,"
"I definitely want to come back and play well and hopefully get us some wins."
The 27-year old Spezza has not played since suffering a shoulder injury on Boxing Day that has caused him to miss 15 straight games. Head coach Cory Clouston said that Spezza's presence alone should help give the team an offensive jump.
"We need him to contribute offensively the way we know he can," Clouston said.
The Senators could certainly use a boost as they have lost eight straight games and 14 of their last 15. They have not posted a victory at Scotiabank Place since Spezza went down with the injury on December 26th against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
"I think that I can bring a positive attitude and brings the guys a little bit of jump," said Spezza. "Sometimes when you can inject some new guys into the lineup it helps the group out."
While the Mississauga, Ontario native says that he is shooting pain free, one aspect of his game that is still not up to speed is his ability to take faceoffs, a responsibility that he will likely shift to linemate Nick Foligno.
"The plan is that I'm going to take some draws and see how I feel," said Spezza. "Even if I can't take faceoffs right away, I'm better off playing still."
The struggling Senators will take any contribution that they can get. While Spezza was not ready to set too many goals for the remainder of the season, getting his team back in the win column was his main objective.
"I can be positive in the dressing room and hopefully I can get us off on the right foot and just get a win."

FORT MYERS, Fla. – Henrietta Hughes is still struggling to make ends meet.
Unemployed and homeless, she caught national attention during President Obama's visit to Fort Myers when she asked for his help. After her plea, Hughes was given a free place to stay, but she still can't find a job and may soon find herself homeless again.

If I knew that I'd be a tons better picker than I am (or was I've suffered a hand injury and can't play much anymore).
To answer your question he's using a 2 handed tapping technique. If you watch closely a lot of the time he isn't picking with his right hand, he is pushing his finger against the fret board. If there is anybody else in the same league with him playing this way I'm not aware of them.

I thought I was gonna be rich until RW ruined it for me and told me that keyboards are about the price of a good cheeseburger these days – but it is more environmentally friendly just to just clean them (and if anyone wants to buy my new "Bosch keyboard cleaning tool" they are a real deal at $100!!!).

Twice as better than I will

A friend who used to play in Nashville told me, "If you live in Nashville, odds are the guy who picks up your garbage is a better guitar player than you are".

the guy who picks up your garbage is a better guitar player than you are
No doubt. Of course, I must (sadly) report that whatever modest guitar proficiency I had has dwindled from lack of practice over the years. It's like re-learning every time I pick it up.
yeah, boo-hoo… pleasant weekend, all.

Well, except for one point: "the huge savings that they claimed on defense spending, which was a total fraud." Mr. Gregg refers to the fact that the administration's budget builds the full cost of the surge in Iraq into the budget baseline. Under that assumption, we would continue to appropriate money for the surge every year for the next 10 years. That allows the administration to "find" $1.6 trillion in savings, "all of which is spending we would never do," according to Mr. Gregg.-Wall Street Journal

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says a Democratic proposal to limit global warming pollution will "punish the American people"…
One day 10 or 15 years from now, it is likely a child of one of these neo-conned elitists will appear on the world's stage and say, "I apologize for my father and his co-ostriches who saw doing the right thing as "punishment". They had the chance to leave us a better world, a decent home and a healthier, unpoisoned planet and they refused. They were willfully uninformed men who saw only one green thing in their entire lives – the Almighty Dollar.
Their over-arching hatred of "liberalism" was bigger than their ability to confront peril or their willingness to understand the reality. So they shrunk from the challenge and their sacred duty as brothers, fathers and men. In spite of the obvious danger they continued to enable and support the nonchalant pillaging and the willful raping of our air, our water and our land."
Even so, others of greater vision and larger conscience now call the shots and they refused to allow the card carrying members of the 21st Century Flat Earth Society and the Party of Just Say No to continue derailing the efforts of their more enlightened and moral neighbors. Though they have and will, to their dying days, keep up their misguided efforts to deny the threat and stick their collective heads in the sand.
Yet, a glimmer of hope from one of the unusually sensible and ethical Republicans…
WASHINGTON – Former Republican Sen. John Warner of Virginia says dealing with climate change is a national security issue that must be addressed.
But Warner told a House panel there will be "a rough road ahead" if greenhouse gases are to be reduced. He cautioned against moving too quickly when technology to curtail heat-trapping emissions may not be available.
Still, Warner said future generations will judge what lawmakers do — or not do — today to address global warming.
Yes sir, Mr. Senator.
Gingrich himself last year appeared in a commercial sitting beside House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., that was paid for by Gore's Alliance for Climate Protection. In it, Gingrich said that while he doesn't always see eye to eye with Pelosi, "we do agree our country must take action to address climate change."
One could hope this was one of the man's more lucid moments but probably was just political posturing by the de facto darling of the anti-environment, anti-science, anti-knowledge Reich-wing…

"This is America!" "We don't freaking say frakking on TV." We're better than that! Who would have ever thought that two voices of reason, Smith and Colbert, would be found on FOX and the Comedy Network. We should have elected them instead of Bush and Cheney.

Well stated, AmVet. Yes, the global warming issue does appear to be one of the easier litmus tests for idiocy. That the rightwing has chosen it as a foothold only screams volumes about their present peril.
Perhaps Newt is a closet lib taking one for the team?

I used beef because it's our preference. I substituted 1 tsp chili garlic sauce for the red pepper then marinated all the ingredients for 2 hours before threading onto skewers. It had some heat but not too much so even the youngest child enjoyed. Served with steamed rice and roasted broccoli for a quick and easy meal.

Byron Sonne was the longest-held detainee from the Toronto G20 arrests — he was imprisoned for 11 months before finally being released on bail in May. The computer geek has pleaded not guilty to four charges of possessing explosive substances and one of counselling others to commit mischief. Four other charges were dropped after a preliminary hearing in February.Sonne was arrested near his Forest Hill home on June 22, 2010, just days before the G20 was to begin. He had come under police suspicion the week before when he was seen taking photos of the security fence and was reluctant to give his name.
The Crown conceded that Toronto Police used a ruse in order to get Byron Sonne to hand over his ID on June 15, 2010. Sonne had been filming the $9.4 million security fence that went up before the international summit. A security guard called the police, and three officers stopped Sonne as he walked along Temperance St. One asked for his identification. Sonne refused, stating that he knew it was his right not to identify himself unless he was being detained for a specific crime. So, bicycle officer Michael Wong told Sonne that he was being investigated for jaywalking under the Highway Traffic Act. On November 10, Superior Court Justice Nancy Spies decided this ruse meant Sonne was unlawfully detained, and that his rights were violated under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
His lawyers argue officers quickly developed tunnel vision after reading Sonne's blog, posts on Flickr and tweets from a Toronto Goat Twitter account and wrongly concluded he was dangerous.
Defence lawyer Joseph Di Luca told the court the flimsy evidence amassed against Sonne should be thrown out because police repeatedly violated his Charter rights and filed an affidavit filled with "falsehoods and inaccuracies" to secure search warrants for his home and Midland cottage.
At one point, police falsely claimed they'd found HTMD, an explosive substance, and a home-made detonator in Sonne's Elderwood Ave. home so a judge would issue another warrant.
For its part, the Crown says police didn't intentionally mislead the judge who issued the warrants and officers had good reason to suspect Sonne was up to no good.
So what was all this compelling evidence the police used to get their search warrants? Tweets from Sonne complaining about all the security cameras, advice on what Home Depot bolts to use to climb the security fence and a request for a photo of a G20 security pass that residents use. From that last post, police told the judge Sonne was seeking to forge one for himself to get inside the inner perimeter.
Investigators also came across photos of a homemade wave gun posted a full 16 months before Sonne's arrest. After consulting Wikipedia of all things, police concluded Sonne must be assembling a HERF death ray weapon to fry security communication.
The officer also failed to include in his affidavit a blog entry a few months later where Sonne explains that after five unsuccessful tries, he'd given up on the homemade contraption.
Months before the G20, Sonne had posted a photo of a potato cannon on Flickr that police somehow concluded was not only operational but also "capable of firing projectiles" that "could cause grievous bodily harm or even possible death."
"He posts these pictures a mere month before the G20," the prosecutor said. "It looks like a weapon of some kind. It's not something you see at Canadian Tire. It looks sinister in some way to the uninitiated for sure."
But to much laughter, the judge said that from watching Holmes on Homes, Sonne's alleged "projectiles" look to her household drywall plugs.
Spies is expected to rule early next week about the validity of the search warrants. If she tosses them, the poster boy for G20 terrorism may be one step closer to getting back to his true geeky pursuits.

An internet snapshot should be saved daily for historical preservation.
The internet is a great historical tool which is currently being wasted.
Every day millions if not billions of entries are removed/replaced and even deleted from the internet. Every time that happens we are throwing away a piece of our history.
Imagine being able to look back to today 1000 years from now and have an accurate historical record. That's what we won't be able to do because there isn't a effort to save this amazing historical record.
Would be great if we could search a database that accurately depicted event which occurred 2000 years ago? How many times in the history has history been rewritten and even destroyed?
New compression algorithm would have to be developed in order to completely backup the internet each and everyday perpetually. Not to mention that some monstrous infrastructure would need to be built, that why this effort should be a worldwide shared effort. A consortium would be formed and the idea could be further developed.
A worldwide HIstorical LIbrary/Museum for the future of mankind.

Dec 31 2011: This would take immense costs/planning. I think there is also a question of privacy seeing how much of the content is private or personal. I believe it has great merit/value but feasibility/private rights makes it an improbable pursuit right now.
Good news is that it is likely (according to moores law) that in a decade or two this could be very much feasible, and I think a permission-system could be built.
Dec 31 2011: I agree that it would take immense costs and planning. That's precisely the reason that it needs to be a international effort. However the benefits would be immense as well, new technologies would be emerge from this undertaking.
As far as privacy goes, anything on the internet publicly available should be saved in the historical snapshot.
We could have a separate/protected archive for private data. Where some rules and regulation could be imposed on access.
What would happen with our knowledge today if a major catastrophe would happen? All the knowledge that we achieve in the last 100 years could be compromised to the point of no recovery.
That risk should never exist because we should have a backup/emergency knowledge repository where we can always reference back in case of a disaster.
Even ancient civilizations worried about keeping a historical record for us yet today we don't even worry about it.
We built an international space station, we can build a worldwide internet backup system. But I agree as technology stands today the storage and network capabilities would be immense. But given a common goal and a clear design I believe that we can achieve great advances in technology where we could achieve the whole internet quickly and efficiently. I would imagine that new network, storage, bus subsystems and computer processing discoveries result from such effort.

Alien Spaceship in Stealth Mode
Nets made by spiders fed drugged up flies
(Source: golden---linings, via mindoverminimal-deactivated2013)
Mike Rosinski began his exposures, initially planning to capture about 45-55 minutes worth of star trails from his yard in Hartland, Michigan, USA. But he dozed, only to awaken some 3 hours later to find his camera had continued to run until the battery died. Composing the resulting images, the graceful concentric star trails were expected, along with light from a late rising Moon glinting on windows. Still, as he slept on the warm night a blizzard of yellow streaks flooded the scene, not left by fairies but fireflies.

Organization vs. movement vs. philosophy An organization uses structure and resources and power to make things happen. Organizations hire people, issue policies, buy things, erect buildings, earn market share and get things done. Your company is probably an organization. A movement has an emotional heart. A movement might use an organization, but it can replace systems and people if they disappear. Movements are more likely to cause widespread change, and they require leaders, not managers. The internet, it turns out, is a movement, and every time someone tries to own it, they fail. A philosophy can survive things that might wipe out a movement and that would decimate an organization. A philosophy can skip a generation or two. It is often interpreted, and is more likely to break into autonomous groups, to morph and split and then reunite. Industrialism was a philosophy. The trouble kicks in when you think you have one and you actually have the other. — Seth's Blog: Organization vs. movement vs. philosophy

Selling to a cartel of retailers: a model of hub-and-spoke collusion
AbstractThis model describes the working of hub-and-spoke collusion that has been discussed recently by competition policy authorities. We develop a model of tacit collusion between a manufacturer and two retailers, competing a la Rotemberg and Saloner (1986). The best collusive equilibrium between retailers is inefficient and it is in the interest of the supplier to help retailers reach a more efficient collusive equilibrium. The hub and spoke conspiracy reduces double marginalization, but raises the ability of retailers to collude. The impact of a hub-and-spoke cartel on consumer's welfare depends on the bargaining power in the relationship. If the supplier has the bargaining power, the agreement, comparable to a vertical restraint, can be welfare improving in reducing double marginalization. When retailers have the bargaining power, the agreement is closer to an horizontal agreement in which retailers use the supplier to improve their collusive scheme, which leads to a loss of welfare. The result has important implications for competition policy and antitrust enforcement which are further developed in our companion paper Sahuguet and Walckiers (2013).

The device is realy light, but it is still able to charge your mobile phone from solar charger's internal battery. It charges even if the internal battery is depleted and the solar cell is on the sunlight. It has status LEDs which inform about if it is charging itself or it charges a device It seems to be little bit fragile, but it may be only my opinion.... Read more
You can use it for every phonetype however it's compatible your own cables. It has a full USB and a micro USB connection. You can charge the built in battery, from a normal connector, and you don't need sunshine. It's arrived almost fully charged. I'm charging all my devices from this.

Nonlinear Pricing with Product Customization in Mobile Service Industry
AbstractThis paper proposes to incorporate product customization in the Maskin and Riley (1984) nonlinear pricing model in order to capture major features of mobile service data. In particular, consumers are characterized by a two-dimensional type. One dimension is observed by the provider and integrates product customization, while the other is a standard parameter of adverse selection, which is unobserved by the provider and makes it necessary for the provider to discriminate among consumers with different tastes through nonlinear pricing. We then propose a novel method to aggregate the multiple-dimensional voice consumption into one-dimensional index. We show that the model structure is identified under the following conditions: The marginal utility function is multiplicatively separable in consumers' tastes, and consumers' observed and unobserved heterogeneity are independent. Empirical results show that both dimensions of heterogeneity are important. Due to asymmetric information, 50% of the "second-best" social welfare is left "on the table" in order to screen heterogeneous consumers. Moreover, if costly product customization does not affect subscribers' utility, 20% of subscribers would not be served.

When Will Tony's Ex-Fiancee Arrive on NCIS?by Steve Marsi at . Comments
A week after NCIS' 200th episode, another major event awaits Tony DiNozzo.
The arrival of his ex-fiancée, Wendy (Perrey Reeves), "comes out of left field for him," executive producer Gary Glasberg says of the February 14 episode written by co-executive producer Steve Binder.
Some fans have correctly recalled that Wendy, who has been spoken about several times of late, was long ago said to be a music teacher and not a journalist, which Glasberg says will be mentioned.
"Steve speaks to that in the script - Wendy decided that she wanted more out of life, so she took a journalist job," he said, meaning he either thought about that already or fans caught the mistake just in time!
Steve Marsi is the Managing Editor of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Google+ or email him here.Tags: NCIS
i will tell you who is Anthony Tony d mysertoues girl friend is jeanna he said he have no appointment for the doctor another think he need to see his girlfriends Jeanne something Send to to ziva Davis and Gibbs and mecger as well his girl firends is name is Jeanne something I funk her father have I think
So when you don't agree with someone's posts about a FICTIONAL CHARACTER janet, I guess you handle it with a little name calling and giving rude advise, rather than discussing the points. For someone who regularly accuses another poster of immaturity (among a rather long list of nasty insults) your posts aren't quite as righteous as you seem to think. I don't have any problem with your or anyone else's Ziva love. Why can't you accept that others may feel differently?
yes annie everyone has there own opinion but your comments are hatefull i think we got it by now you hate ziva so get over yourself.
I may not like the way the Ziva character is written, but as far as arguing goes, it seems to be several of you who are rigidly unable to accept that not everyone shares your opinion of the show. Your posts are also quite frequent and predictable. I have not personally attacked, or called any posters insulting names, admonished them to watch the show (or not) through my perspective, or insinuated that they aren't real fans because they don't share my views. Guess for some, it's okay to criticize real people, just not fictional characters. I have simply expressed my opinions about the show. How about you?
hi editor hows it going loved all your comments and i know haters going to hate but i just cant keep quiet when i read or should i say try to read the so called michaels comments he just cant help himself(ive a strong feeling michael is a female)we all know he makes things up i would love to know why as for annie she is just a ziva hater
I think Annie and Michael just like to argue and fight with everyone. change the record its getting really old really fast.....
You both must be shocked that Tony and Ziva will have a relationship soon eh?
Haters gonna Hate !!!!
Michael - you a male impersonator ?
...sorry forgot to mention VIO I liked your comments and right on about crying and wishing for people back that chose to leave the show because it was too much work....bye bye and we really don't need her back...luckily we have ZIVA now and she is fantastic !!! Oh YES she is..with HER help it is # 1 show and it was NOT while Sasha Alexander was on....
MICHAEL - Can't even understand what you are writing but it doesn't really matter - you spew the same hate for Ziva here and other sites all the time. I don't even think you understand this show. Go watch The Simpsons. ANNIE - wish you would turn in your real fan badge because again turn off this show if you hate one of the leads so much. JANET - Hi my friend - still fighting the good fight with these 2 haters I see..good luck. Haters gonna hate remember. Looking forward to Episode 200 I bet ? JESSICA - Nice comments ...more people need to be as honest as you .. nice..
@like your comment yes sasha wanted to leave thank god they found ziva shes so much better than kate although i liked her but ziva so more exiting
yes, the first two seasons were great...kate was treating tony so much better than ziva ever did, NOT. my problem is, and i might be a bit silly for it, that i dont cry over characters that decided to leave the show...i kinda tend to not like them all that much...as far as i remember sasha alexander decide to go for greaner pastures, and for a while we didnt even knew if she was still alive or not. just now, after how long?, she is back on tv...and btw, rizzoli and isles is still on?
but i do have a BIG problem now...why couldnt they have found a better looking actress for wendy??? i had higher expectations and the woman in the pic makes me go blah...its tony we are talking about!
