Call for Dedicated Session Proposals
NOTE: Deadline for Session Proposals has passed.
The NCER Program Committee is responsible for developing
sessions such that each presentation not only relates to the
session theme but complements other presentations in that
session. NCER '13
would also like to invite members of the ecosystem
restoration community to assist with program development by
proposing and organizing sessions. Session themes and topics are provided on the Themes Page. Acceptance of Proposals for Dedicated Sessions will be primarily based on an evaluation of the proposals content, structure, and overall relevance to the overarching goals on NCER 13 specifically, preference will be given to those sessions that are integrative, cross-system, and/or promote the transfer of regional-based knowledge to a broad audience. Additional criteria for evaluation will include the sessions potential for generating useful results/dialogue among conference attendees, expected level of interest in the topic, as well as the organizers own ability to lead a successful session.
A list of Programmatic Themes being featured at NCER 2013 is outlined on the Themes page. However, Proposers should not feel limited to these areas - we want to capture emerging topics and new ideas critical to Ecosystem Restoration. While proposals for Dedicated Session may not necessarily directly related to the Themes and Topics provided on the Themes Page, preference will be given for those sessions that emphasize sessions that engage multiple perspectives, either across systems / regions or among multiple stakeholders (e.g. federal, state, provincial, non-profit, corporate, etc.).
Dedicated Session Organizer Responsibilities
Note: All details for the session will be finalized via communications with only the primary organizer indicated in the online submission form. If a group of individuals is working together to organize a session, it is the responsibility of the primary organizer to communicate any and all details to other members on their team. Conference organizers and staff will only communicate directly with the primary organizer.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES as a Dedicated Session Organizer (please read carefully and keep this information on file for future reference)
As a session organizer, you are responsible for full management of speakers scheduled in your session, including:
- inviting and confirming specific individuals to speak in your dedicated session
- providing your invited/confirmed speakers with specific instructions as provided by the organizers on how to submit their abstract via the online submission form
- communicating the ASSIGNED SESSION NUMBER to your invited presenters so they can indicate this number in the online form when submitting their abstract.
This is imperative to assist us with assuring the right speakers are assigned to the correct session.
- making sure your session presenters each submit an abstract for their talk by the November 1st deadline
- informing your session presenters in advance there is a $25.00 abstract submission fee
- informing your invited presenters they are permitted to give ONE TALK ONLY to allow as many people as possible to give oral presentations. NO EXCEPTIONS. If an individual is contacted by more than one session organizer to speak – they will have to choose only one session in which to present.
- making sure your speakers register for the conference by the deadline and let them know in advance they are required to pay the full registration fee to attend the conference;
- confirming a moderator to oversee the session (You may serve in this role, as long as you are not also scheduled to speak in the same session.)
NOTE: All dedicated session organizers, speakers, moderators, panelists and poster presenters are expected to register for the conference by April 15, 2013 and pay the applicable registration fee to confirm their participation. THERE IS NO ONE DAY FEE (no exceptions);
- adhering to published deadlines and communicating these deadlines to your speakers
- finding a replacement speaker if one of your session presenters cancels (we recommend you have a back-up speaker lined up in advance for your session.)
- providing organizers with an EXCEL grid of your confirmed session agenda by January 15, 2013. NOTE: We will provide you with a template into which you enter the formal title for your session, the name of the moderator, all speaker names and speaker talk titles. This grid will then be placed into the MASTER compilation of all dedicated sessions to be scheduled in the agenda.
- We will email you the list of received abstract submissions on Monday, October 22. You will need to peruse the list and quickly verify all of your speakers submitted their abstracts. If not – it is your responsibility to contact them and remind them to submit an abstract for their talk.
- Again, we will email you a TEMPLATE to fill in the session title, moderator name, and speaker names and talk titles in the recommended order. This completed AGENDA GRID is due back to us absolutely no later than Tuesday, January 15, 2013. THIS DEADLINE WILL NOT BE EXTENDED.
Session Time Allowance
There is limited time and meeting space available for
sessions at NCER 2013; therefore, the plan is to accept a
limited number of proposed sessions on key topical issues
and concepts. Time allotted for proposed sessions will be a
minimum of 1.5 hours and a maximum of 4.5 hours. Be sure to
indicate the amount of time you think you will need to
conduct the session when developing your proposal. If you
have questions about developing a presentation and
programmatic format for the session, please contact Mr.
Rob Daoust by email or telephone (954-414-9016) before submitting your proposal.

Ubaldo Jimenez pitched 8 1/3 strong innings and Asdrubal Cabrera and Lonnie Chisenhall homered to lead Cleveland to an 8-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Saturday night that helped the Indians keep pace in the AL wild-card race.
Ubaldo Jimenez is doing his part to keep the Cleveland Indians in the playoff hunt.
Jimenez pitched 8 1-3 strong innings and Asdrubal Cabrera and Lonnie Chisenhall homered to lead Cleveland to an 8-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Saturday night that helped the Indians keep pace in the AL wild-card race.
Jimenez (12-9) scattered eight hits and struck out eight to win his third straight start, falling just two outs shy of his ninth career complete game and fourth shutout. The last time he did both was on June 1, 2011 with Colorado.
"I was looking for my first shutout in the American League," Jimenez said. "I was able to establish my fastball down. Even when they got runners on base, I was able to get everything down for ground balls."
The right-hander walked only one before being relieved by Chen-Chang Lee with one out and two on in the ninth. Chicago scored its lone run in the final inning on Josh Phegley's sac fly — the first earned run charged to Jimenez in his last three outings.
Jimenez is 4-2 in his last six starts, and through 40 innings he has allowed eight runs and struck out 50.
And that's been a big boost for the Indians, especially with ace Justin Masterson on the disabled list.
"Whether you have Masterson sidelined or not, when (Jimenez) takes the ball right now, he's legit kind of top-of-the-league stuff," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "You look at his numbers since a couple months now, it's pretty damn good."
Cabrera hit a two-run homer and Chisenhall added a three-run shot in a five-run fourth inning that powered the Indians to their 11th straight win against Chicago and third in a row overall to improve to 80-68. Texas, at 81-66, holds one wild-card spot and Tampa Bay at 80-66 has the other.
"Everything counts right now," Jimenez said. "You never know what game is going to make the difference."
Cleveland's Carlos Santana went 3 for 4 and drove in two runs with a single in the sixth.
Chicago starter Andre Rienzo (2-2) lasted just four innings, allowing five runs on seven hits and four walks. Rienzo was called up on July 30 and has allowed five or more runs in three of his last four starts.
The White Sox, last in the AL Central, have lost five straight and 14 of 16. They managed to get more than one man on base only twice against Jimenez, in the third and ninth.
"I saw the stats flash a couple of nights ago where they are .500 against the league and then like (14-2) against us now," said Phegley, who went 3 for 3. "We've single-handedly put them in the playoff race basically."
Rienzo pitched out of a one-out, bases-loaded jam in the first by striking out Michael Brantley and getting Cabrera to ground out.
The Indians batted around and took a 5-0 lead in the fourth.
With one out and Santana on first, Cabrera lofted his 13th homer to right to make it 2-0. After Jason Giambi walked and Yan Gomes singled, Chisenhall launched his 10th.
Rienzo was relieved by Charlie Leesman after walking Carlos Santana to open the fifth.
Santana made it 7-0 by driving in Chisenhall and Michael Bourne off Leesman in the sixth. Ryan Raburn drove in a run with a sac fly in the ninth off Addison Reed.
NOTES: Rienzo and Gomes are the only two Brazilians in the majors. Rienzo is the first Brazilian pitcher in MLB. ... RHP Masterson, who leads the team with 14 wins, did not throw Saturday after playing long-toss on two previous days. He's expected to throw again Sunday. ... Francona is sticking to the "one game at time" approach when asked about the Indians chances of grabbing a playoff spot. "Logic says this probably going to go down near the wire," he said. "I think we just need to worry about winning tonight." ... White Sox 1B/DH Adam Dunn, who is 3 for his last 34, was held out of the lineup on Saturday and manager Robin Ventura said 1B/DH Paul Konerko would rest on Sunday. ... Cleveland RHP Zach McAllister (7-9) is scheduled to face White Sox LHP and ace Chris Sale (11-12) in Sunday's finale.

UPDATE 1:57 CT: Amid the bug fixes in the latest server patch notes released by EA comes the incredibly important word that EA has "disabled Cheetah speed," the fastest simulation speed setting. Games set to Cheetah will now run at the noticeably slower Llama speed.
Presumably this is to give the servers more time to process the thousands of simultaneous city simulations that are all feeding into its global and regional networks. In any case, this is a core piece of the gameplay that's now being hampered by EA's continuing server problems; in my 16 or so hours playing the game, I'd estimate 15 or so have been spent running at Cheetah. Slowing things down, even temporarily, is likely to impact a whole lot of players negatively.
In other news, Amazon has stopped offering the PC download edition of SimCity, and is now warning shoppers that "many customers are having issues connecting to the 'SimCity' servers." on its product page, directing those concerned to EA's customer support.
Those hoping that EA would quickly solve the server problems plaguing SimCity since its US launch Tuesday won't be happy with the publisher's latest news. Community Manager LadyCoconut announced this morning that EA is rolling out a server hotfix that improves stability but also "disables a few non-critical gameplay features (leaderboards, achievements, and region filters)."
None of the affected features are really central to the SimCity experience, but it's not an encouraging sign that EA is finding it necessary to scale back the game's capabilities as it struggles to keep up with server demand.
The feature rollback follows rolling patch deployments that temporarily shut down all servers yesterday and what EA describes as "heavy traffic" yesterday evening. "We are aggressively undergoing maintenance on the servers and adding capacity to meet demand," LadyCoconut posted in a middle-of-the-night message. "Performance will fluctuate during this process. Our fans are important to us, and we thank you for your continued patience."
Last night, Senior Producer Kip Katsarelis admitted to being upset. "Technical issues have become more prominent in the last 24 hours," Katsarelis noted. "We are hitting a number of problems with our server architecture which has seen players encountering bugs and long wait times to enter servers. This is, obviously, not the situation we wanted for our launch week and we want you to know that we are putting everything we have at resolving these issues."
Katsarelis promised the team would be rolling out even more servers in the next two days and is working hard to roll out more updates to fix any bugs that pop up. That said, he also noted the game has been immensely popular, with 38 million buildings plopped down in a single 24-hour period by players who were able to use the existing server architecture.
Meanwhile, customers in Japan and Australia are now able to download the game launcher ahead of the official release. That's a step in the right direction as EA works to avoid repeating the same problems for the game's international launch, though players will still have to download a massive update after the local game servers are officially turned on.

Knowledge: andLinux Launcher
From andLinux
(Extended launcher documentation)
m (Documentation moved to Knowledge: andLinux Launcher: misleading old title)
Revision as of 19:06, 7 May 2009
How andLinux works...
Depending on how you choose to configure the system during the installation process, the andLinux system will either run xfce-panel to provide an X-based start menu, or it will run a custom perl daemon program to listen to launcher requests from Windows.
A set of executables is installed in your C:\Program Files\andLinux\Launcher Windows directory. These programs include applications, like andKarbon.exe and andKWord.exe, as well as a special utility program called andCmd.exe. These launchers are run when you click their icons in the andLinux menu (installed in the system tray, if you permit it); they can also be run directly from Windows Explorer, added to the Start menu (create a shortcut), etc.
These launcher programs communicate with the andLinux VM via a socket. By default, the launchers know that the andLinux VM will be listening at IP address 192.168.11.150, on port 81. When the andLinux system boots up, a perl script is run that listens for input on this socket. That perl script is located at /usr/local/sbin/launcher.pl, and it is hard-coded to listen on port 81.
The launcher programs send a small packet of data to the perl script, containing a line like cmd=some-linux-app&file=some-file. The perl script decodes this and runs the appropriate command, with the file (or whatever) as command-line arguments.
Default User
The andLinux launcher daemon runs as root by default. In order to change this user, see Howto: change default user. It is doable, but somewhat involved -- you will need about 15 minutes.

Neither side budging as National Hockey League lockout drags on with hopes of salvaging the season slipping away.
Donald Fehr and the players' association are ready to get back to the bargaining table at any moment. They are now just waiting for the NHL to feel the same way.
"(We aren't talking) because the owners have not indicated a desire to resume," the NHLPA's executive director said Wednesday night before a charity hockey game.
"We've indicated any number of times that we're willing to resume when they are (and) we're willing to resume without preconditions.
"So we're waiting to hear back from them."
The sides haven't negotiated with one another since December 6 in New York, when talks broke down. They also met with a US federal mediator for two days in New Jersey last week and reported no progress.
Since then, there has been only limited contact between the sides, including a brief email exchange on Wednesday.
Nothing new
The NHL believes that negotiations should resume only when there is something new to say.
"I don't think either party is refusing a meeting," NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said in an email.
"But unless there is an indication one side or the other is prepared to move or has a new idea to move the process forward – and so far neither side has indicated – I am not sure what we would do at the meeting.
"What is the agenda? Who is directing the conversation? We don't have anything new to say right now."
Fehr said he likes the idea put forward by Winnipeg Jets defenseman Ron Hainsey that the same parties who met two weeks ago return to the bargaining table, along with himself and NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman. Progress was made during a session that included four new owners and a number of players, including Sidney Crosby.
"That seems like it might work if the owners are interested in it," Fehr said.
However, Daly indicated that doesn't hold much appeal to the NHL.
He created a stir earlier Wednesday when he made an appearance on CBC's Hockey Night In Canada Radio and was asked to give a yes or no answer on whether there would be an agreement in time to save the season.
Daly said, "Yes."
"That's good news," Fehr said in response. "I'm glad to hear that. I certainly hope he's right. That's the players' goal, that's what we want to try and do.
"Hopefully, we'll get back together and negotiate out the remaining issues as soon as possible."
Cancellations expected
The NHL has insisted on getting in at least a 48-game schedule – the same number it had after the 1994-95 lockout – which means an agreement will need to be reached by the middle of January.
More than 500 regular-season games through December 30 have already been wiped off the schedule and further cancellations are expected to be made by the end of the week.
Fehr is concerned about the damage being caused by hockey's fourth work stoppage in 20 years.
"Any time you are preventing the fans from watching the sport they dearly love, which provides the business that we're all involved in, that's not a good thing," Fehr said.
"It needs to be ended as soon as possible. We certainly hope we can do that. We certainly want to tell the fans we're doing everything we can to do it.
"Hopefully it'll be over soon. That's what we're trying to do."

Australia entry and transit requirements
An Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) provides authorisation to enter Australia and is electronically linked to your passport. The Australian Department of Home Affairs advises that eligible passengers should apply for an ETA two weeks before intended travel.
While most ETAs are decided on application, some ETAs require further assessment by an Australian visa office. Please apply early to avoid disruption to travel plans. You can apply for an ETA directly here.
There is a cost of AUD20 for an ETA, payable by credit card. Some passport nationalities are exempt from paying the AUD20 fee. Check out the Australian Department of Home Affairs prior to applying.
Transiting in New Zealand
There are some countries whose citizens do not have to apply for a visa before travelling to New Zealand as a transit passenger. For further information please see the transit visa country/region waiver list at Immigration New Zealand.
Please note, for passports where a visa is required for transit, outbound and return rules may differ. For passports where the Visa Waiver (ETA) cannot be issued, India for example (but not limited to) travellers from the US or Canada will be allowed to transit via New Zealand to Australia on the outbound flights, but not on the return flights. A visa would need to be issued to transit via New Zealand on the return journey. For full details and expert advice please contact New Zealand Immigration for further clarification.

He's been transported for a sore ankle and back,
but nothing too bad. UPDATE: It turns out that "sore ankle and back" really meant that he fractured two vertebrae and broke his ankle, but he won't require surgery according to Jenna Fryer with the AP. And he's got a concussion.

[UPDATE]: 13 people were injured by flying debris, including two track workers who were taken to the hospital, according to the local ABC affiliate. Most of the injured were treated at the track. (Thanks JohnTheRaceFan!)

For Many, Few Health-Plan Choices, High Premiums on Online Exchanges
Analysis Shows Americans in Poorer Counties Have Limited Options on Health-Care Exchanges

Members of SSK and Airtec used to demonstrate CYPRES activated reserve deployments on live jumps during the World Freefall Convention. The activation altitude was set to 4,000 ft causing the jumper to be pulled out of the 20-way formation so others could witness.
Even when your CYPRES is turned on and not in the sky, it is busy at work. CYPRES automatically compensates for air pressure variations during the day and adjusts accordingly.
The CYPRES cutter generates enough force to sever stainless steel aircraft cable with a diameter of 2.6mm.
Up until 1997 SSK manufactured the "Sweethog" harness/container parachute system. It was the first company to introduce the "Extra Narrow" container design which has become almost a standard for many modern sport containers.
Regardless of any advertising or other written, verbal, or perceived claims to the contrary, parachuting is a high-speed dangerous activity that can severly injure or kill you. In spite of everyone's intentions, there is no such thing as perfect parachute equipment, a perfect drop zone, a perfect airplane, a perfect instructor, a perfect pilot, a perfect parachute rigger, a perfect packer, a perfect skydiver, or a perfect student, and each of these factors and others involved will likely fail to perform as intended on occasion, possibly resulting in grave consequences, including serious injury or death.
Parachuting is a privilege, and those who participate do so of their own free will and acknowledge the risks involved. In return for the privilege, they knowingly give up certain rights and agree that neither they, nor anyone on their behalf, will seek damages from any person or entity involved, including but not limited to dropzones, instructors, aircraft owners, equipment manufacturers and suppliers.
Automatic Activation Devices (AADs) are strictly backup devices and are not intended to replace proper training or timely execution of appropriate emergency procedures. Use of an AAD may even cause injury or death under certain circumstances. Prior to any use of an AAD, you must consult all relevant equipment manufacturers' owners and operating manuals, and must obtain training from a properly qualified instructor to become more familiar with the risks involved and to ensure proper use of your equipment, including the AAD.
The "CYPRES" AAD has been on the market for over 20 years, has a near-perfect reliability record and has likely saved thousands of lives. Statistics indicate that its use tends to reduce the risk of serious injury or death. However, it must be understood that CYPRES does not eliminate these risks, and in certain rare circumstances it may even increase the risks.
The CYPRES is strictly a backup device which may or may not save your life or prevent serious injury. The CYPRES is an electromechanical device and as such, the possibility of a malfunction can not be excluded. The CYPRES does not open or deploy a parachute. It simply cuts a loop, which should allow the parachute opening sequence to begin. Because of many variables, this opening sequence may or may not occur at all, or in time to save your life or prevent injury. In an emergency, nothing, including the CYPRES, replaces your responsibility to activate your reserve parachute in a timely manner. If you, your family, relatives, or friends are not willing to accept these risks, please discontinue the use of CYPRES, and seriously consider taking up a safer sport!

JuiceBox FAQ Hard Things
FAQ on things that are HARD
- Video Player
The video cartridges from Mattel contain a memory chip that has the video information AND proprietary video player software. The JuiceBox itself only has enough intelligence to load the video player from the video cartridge.
- Video Monitor
While the Juicebox can play video from cartridges, the display itself is wholely a digital LCD driven directly by drivers on the CPU chip. There is no point inside the box where there is anything resembling a normal video signal, so it is next to impossible to get the JB to display video from (for example) a camera.
- Serial Terminal
The JuiceBox does contain a serial port, but the normal juicebox software turns this off, so using the JB as a serial display involves running new software on it.

-A twelve-dent spring (this comes with your Mirrix loom). A twelve-dent spring means that there are twelve dents (spaces in the warp coil) in an inch when on the loom.
-An elegant cuff bracelet kit or a wedding cuff bracelet kit (or similar materials)
The kits contain the following:-Brass cuff one inch wide-C-Lon Cord size 135-14k gold thread on a silk core, white or black silk thread-8/0 and 11/0 seed beads for weaving and embellishment-ultra-suede-Heddles (these can be purchased in the Mirrix Storeor you can make them yourself)
To make them yourself: You will need to make as many individual heddles as there will be warps in your weaving. These heddles (as well as the Mirrix heddles you can buy) will be reusable. The thinner and stronger the string you use, the better. For bead weavers, cotton quilting or beading thread works great. For tapestry weavers, cotton crochet thread, linen warp or single-ply cotton warp works well.Nail two finishing nails into a piece of wood three and one-eight inches apart. You will use this little tool to tie your warps. Cut ten inch lengths of your heddle material, one for each heddle you will make. Tie them around the nails, using an overhand knot to secure the ends. In order to get that knot to sit right next to the nail, slip a needle into the knot before it is pulled tight and push the knot toward the nail. Then tighten it. Trim off the ends of the heddles to within a quarter of an inch of the knot.-A pair of scissors-A bead mat (optional)-A needle (or needles) -Glue that can bond fabric to metal. These types of glue are available through craft outlets. You will only need this for finishing your cuff. -A Phillips head screw driver IF you have wooden clips
How you want to set up your work space is up to you, but we suggest finding a flat surface and organizing everything you will need to warp the loom and begin weaving. Swing out the two (or one if you are using an 8″ loom) legs under the loom and place it on a flat surface.
Make sure your loom is at a height so you have about 2″ of threaded rod showing on each side. Measure to make sure the loom is even. We suggest if you are using a size 12″ loom or larger that you put your weaving on the left or right side of the loom. You will need some kind of string to tie around the warping bar on the opposite side of where you will put your piece. You will do this after you have warped your loom. It will help to stabilize the warping bar. The reason you don't put it in the middle of the loom is, because it is such a thin piece, it is difficult to balance the bar. You may want to warp the loom on both sides and make another piece on the other side at a later date. For example, you could warp the other side 10 warps wide and make a little purse.

If you are implementing non-global zones, complete How to Plan Auditing in Zones before using this procedure.
Determine if you want a single-system image audit trail.
Systems within a single administrative domain can create a single-system image audit trail. If your systems use different naming services, start with the next step. You should complete the rest of the planning steps for every system.
A single-system image audit trail treats the systems that are being audited as one machine. To create a single-system image audit trail for a site, every system in the installation should be configured as follows:
Use the same naming service.
To interpret the audit records, two commands are used, auditreduce and praudit. For correct interpretation of the audit records, the passwd, hosts, and audit_user files must be consistent.
Use the same audit_warn, audit_event, audit_class, and audit_startup files as every other system.
Use the same audit_user database. The database can be in a naming service such as NIS or LDAP.
Have identical flags, naflags, and plugin entries in the audit_control file.
Determine the audit policy.
Use the auditconfig -lspolicy command to see a short description of available policy options. By default, only the cnt policy is turned on. For a fuller discussion, see Step 8.
For the effects of the policy options, see Determining Audit Policy. To set audit policy, see How to Configure Audit Policy.
Determine if you want to modify event-to-class mappings.
In many situations, the default mapping is sufficient. However, if you add new classes, change class definitions, or determine that a record of a specific system call is not useful, you might also need to move an event to a different class.
For an example, see How to Change an Audit Event's Class Membership.
Determine which audit classes to preselect.
The best time to add audit classes or to change the default classes is before you start the audit service.
The audit class values of the flags, naflags, and plugin entries in the audit_control file apply to all users and processes. The preselected classes determine whether an audit class is audited for success, for failure, or for both.
To preselect audit classes, see How to Modify the audit_control File.
Determine user exceptions to the system-wide preselected audit classes.
If you decide that some users should be audited differently from the system-wide preselected audit classes, modify the individual users' entries in the audit_user database.
For an example, see How to Change a User's Audit Characteristics.
Determine the minimum free disk space.
When disk space on an audit file system drops below the minfree percentage, the auditd daemon switches to the next available audit directory. The daemon then sends a warning that the soft limit has been exceeded.
To set the minimum free disk space, see Example 30–4.
Decide how to manage the audit_warn email alias.
The audit_warn script is run whenever the audit system needs to notify you of a situation that requires administrative attention. By default, the audit_warn script sends email to an audit_warn alias and sends a message to the console.
To set up the alias, see How to Configure the audit_warn Email Alias.
Decide what action to take when all the audit directories are full.
By default, when the audit trail overflows, the system continues to work. The system counts the audit records that are dropped, but does not record the events. For greater security, you can disable the cnt policy, and enable the ahlt policy. The ahlt policy stops the system when an asynchronous event cannot be placed in the audit queue.
For a discussion of these policy options, see Audit Policies for Asynchronous and Synchronous Events. To configure these policy options, see Example 30–16.
Decide whether to collect audit records in binary format, in syslog format, or in both formats.
For overview information, see Audit Logs.
For an example, see How to Configure syslog Audit Logs.

FSIS Adjudications
FSIS conducts administrative proceedings (adjudications) to refuse or withdraw exemptions from custom slaughter and processing facilities or other businesses that operate under exemption from the inspection requirements of the FMIA and PPIA.
When sanitary conditions or practices at these businesses create health hazards, or for certain other violations, FSIS will issue a Notice of Ineligibility (complaint) requiring the business to stop operations. The business has the opportunity to correct the violations, contest FSIS' action at a hearing, or enter into a settlement agreement (consent agreement) with FSIS. Consent agreements allow the business to resume operations based on specified conditions to ensure compliance and protect the public. In some cases, FSIS issues an order (decision and order) to keep the business closed.
The table below provides links to the Quarterly Enforcement Report, which provides information on these proceedings, and consent agreements or orders in these cases.

Perma-bear and AdvisorOne contributor A. Gary Shilling, president of A. Gary Shilling & Co. and author of "The Age of Deleveraging: Investment Strategies for a Decade of Slow Growth and Deflation," is taking aim at Fed policy in a piece written Thursday for Bloomberg, noting that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Co.'s low rates are luring yield seekers onto "thin ice."
"Some investors are pursuing the safety of federally insured deposits," Shilling (left) begins. "Others are dissatisfied with low nominal and negative real returns and are moving further out on the risk spectrum in their zeal for yield, regardless of whether they understand the additional risk they are incurring."
Just as Alan Greenspan downplayed the possibility of a housing bubble prior to the collapse in 2008, Bernanke acknowledged that the central bank's "nontraditional policies," namely quantitative easing, "could induce an imprudent reach for yield by some investors and thereby threaten financial stability." But he downplayed the threat, saying, "We have seen little evidence thus far of unsafe buildup of risk or leverage."
Shilling doesn't buy it, noting that he sees "lots of potentially unsafe buildups."
"Consider the rush into junk bonds, depressing their yields and spreads versus Treasuries. So much money has poured into below-investment-grade debt that it now takes real skill to default. In the third quarter, junk-rated companies sold $94 billion in debt compared with $25 billion in the third quarter of 2011. Nonetheless, the global recession will hype defaults even though many low-rated companies have a cushion of safety from prefunded debt."
"Zeal for yield" has pushed the returns on junk municipal bonds to just 3.15 percentage points more than investment-grade issues, the narrowest gap in two years, he adds.
He also notes that master limited partnerships are usually backed by energy pipelines and other investments that produce steady revenue from long-term contracts. They pay out 90% of their earnings, and are able to promote current returns of about 10% annually to investors. But in reaction to the zeal for yield, private-equity firms, with the assistance of Wall Street banks, are unloading fracking sand, gas stations and coal mines into these limited partnerships and attracting investors with "mouthwatering yields."
"Slightly less risky are commercial mortgage-backed securities," he concludes, "which are in such demand that their yields are at narrower spread compared with their benchmark than when real estate was still booming and risks were ignored. Such securities backed 75% of all commercial real-estate lending at the earlier peak, and are gaining in prominence again. Credit-rating companies, however, are warning that the loan quality of such mortgage-backed paper is weakening, possibly putting investors at risk."

LUXEMBOURG – The European Union worked around French objections on Friday to agree on a free trade negotiating mandate for sweeping talks with the United States that President Barack Obama wants to officially open next week.
Under Friday's deal, trade ministers at a meeting in Luxembourg agreed to France's demand to keep its movie and television industry out of the hotly anticipated trans-Atlantic talks. But, they said they could possibly come back to debate it at a later time, meaning the deeply divisive issue could resurface.
The outcome should allow Obama and his EU counterparts to announce the start of negotiations for a deal expected to provide a big boost to growth and jobs by eliminating tariffs and other barriers that have long plagued economic relations.
A free trade pact would create a market with common standards and regulations across countries that together account for nearly half the global economy.
France's longstanding objections, which turned a simple ministerial meeting into a 12-hour negotiating marathon, showed the challenges ahead. Within the EU alone, there is a rift with some nations big on protecting struggling sectors with subsidies and more pro-free-trade member states.
Beyond the audiovisual sector, major problems are expected to emerge over agriculture and transport.
Friday night though, Finland's European Affairs Minister Alexander Stubb tweet optimistically about the prospect of trans-Atlantic negotiations: "Play ball!" he wrote.
All other EU nations have vowed to protect the culture industry as well, but the large majority nevertheless wanted it to be part of the talks. They fear that removing it would set off tit-for-tat claims on both sides.
France's Trade Minister Nicole Bricq said though that the Americans already had staked out an issue which was off limits.
"Frankly, I met the Americans in Washington and it is clear that they too want exclusions — on the financial services," she said.
Even though EU negotiator Karel De Gucht could try bring back the audiovisual sector into the talks, France would always have a veto to keep it out if it wanted.
An EU-commissioned study shows that a trade pact could boost the 27-country bloc's economic output by 119 billion euro ($159 billion) a year and the U.S. economy's by 95 billion euros ($127 billion). Another estimate showed eliminating tariffs alone would add $180 billion to U.S. and EU gross domestic product in five years' time while boosting exports on both sides by about 17 per cent. That could add about 0.5 per cent annually to the EU's GDP and 1 per cent to the U.S.
For Europe in particular, that extra growth would be crucial to help pay high public debt and bring down unemployment, which is at record highs.
"An EU-U.S. agreement could potentially represent 400,000 jobs in the EU, so that's a prize really worth working for," said Irish Enterprise Minister Richard Bruton, who chaired Friday's EU meeting.
"It is an opportunity both for the United States and the EU. It's time is now," Bruton said.
Tariffs between the EU and the U.S. are already relatively low, averaging 5 per cent to 7 per cent. But the pact would have huge benefits because of the sheer size of the market — bilateral trade is worth $1 trillion annually, the largest commercial relationship in the world.
The prospects sounded so good that all seemed aligned for a launch of the talks during Obama's European visit. Both the U.S. and Britain said they wanted to announce the opening of negotiations by the G-8 summit on June 17-18, with talks expected to start around the beginning of July.
But France and Hollywood have long had a fraught relationship. Paris has for years sought to protect its cultural industries with lavish subsidies and quotas as competition grew from other countries — particularly the U.S., whose exporters are helped by having a massive domestic market and the use of English, the world's pre-eminent language.
And since the EU is a patchwork of often tiny countries with their own languages and cultures, such protection has become a fully acceptable practice in the bloc.
Because of this, France insisted the EU is so unlikely to give up such protection that there is no point in even including it in the negotiations.
EU Trade Commissioner De Gucht, who will negotiate on behalf of the 27 countries based on a unanimous mandate, said the mandate includes guarantees that protection for the cultural industry would be maintained.
Stubb said that with such guarantees "there's absolutely nothing that threatens the French or the European film industry and I shall certainly continue to watch all of my beloved French movies even after this free trade negotiation has been finalized."
As the G-8 summit drew closer, however, some of the most divisive issues in trade relations appeared as intractable as ever. Besides the issue of culture, deep differences remained over agriculture, food safety, climate change legislation, financial deregulation and intellectual property enforcement.
The best-case timetable for completing the pact is the end of 2014. However, for many experts, that is overly optimistic and the consensus is it will take a few years.

|This dissertation is concerned with Chinese speakers' acquisition of telicity in L2 English. Telicity is a semantic notion having to do with whether an event has an inherent endpoint or not. Most existing work on L2 telicity is conceptualized within an L1-transfer framework and examines learning situations where L1 and L2 differ on whether and how the Direct Object plays a role in telicity computation (e.g., Slabakova 2000, 2001, 2005; Gabriele, 2010; Kaku-MacDonald, 2009). ❧ This dissertation is inspired by such prior work but explores additional issues by examining not only the role of the Direct Object, but also constructions where other elements in the sentence contribute to telicity, including the Goal PPs, Adjectival Resultatives, and the Locatum construction. A series of three sentence-rating experiments examined these constructions, and the results yield insights into the different factors affecting telicity acquisition: learnability (Chapter 2), transparency in form-meaning mapping (Chapter 3), and the role of underlying syntactic operations (Chapter 4). ❧ It was found that for native Mandarin speakers learning English, un-learning an L1-based but L2-incompatible telicity interpretation proved to be comparatively challenging, which can be attributed to the absence of negative evidence. Furthermore, even in situations where L1 and L2 do not differ in their telicity, participants were more likely to arrive at the correct telicity interpretation of a sentence in the L2 in situations where the construction encoding telicity was more transparent – in terms of its form-meaning mapping – than in situations where the construction was less so. Moreover, telicity was easier to learn when it was marked on the verb than when it was marked on the noun. Lastly, unlike what has been found for child learners (Hodgson, 2006, 2009, 2010), the L2 learners in this research did not show sensitivity to the differences between covert versus overt syntactic operations that are responsible for telicity computation. ❧ In sum, by investigating a wider range of constructions than has hitherto been examined, this dissertation shows that a multiplicity of factors (and not just the Direct Object) contribute to the acquisition of telicity.

ATHENS—From the German press to Stephen Colbert's hit show on Comedy Central, Greece has been the butt of jokes throughout the financial crisis. The implication is always the same — that the Greek people are lazy and don't like to work.
The stereotype makes Michalis Chrysochoidis, Greece's minister of development and competitiveness, bristle.
"There is a myth that the Greeks don't work many hours. This is a big lie," Chrysochoidis said. "The reality is that the Greek people work more than any other country in the European Union."
He's right: Greek workers put in longer hours than any other Europeans or Americans, according to a new report by McKinsey. (Click here to read the full report) The consulting firm's 60-page brief, "Greece 10 Years Ahead," examines what makes the Greek economy so uncompetitive relative to its neighbors and offers advice on what to do about it.
Within the McKinsey report, however, there are two additional data points that explain why more hours worked by Greeks haven't led to a growing economy.
First, Greece has the lowest labor participation rate in all of Europe — just 66 percent of the employable population have jobs, compared with 73 percent in the European Union and 70 percent in Southern Europe.
Second, not only are fewer Greeks working, those who do are far less productive: A Greek worker's productivity comes in at $35 an hour, compared with $49 an hour in the EU, $55 an hour in Central Europe, and $58 and hour in the U.S.
Put it all together and it led McKinsey to one inescapable conclusion: "A relatively smaller percentage of Greeks work longer and harder hours than their European peers to support a generally unproductive system."
Therein lies the problem—the Greek economy is uncompetitive, and until that changes it will be unable to grow at a sufficient rate to generate enough tax revenues to pay its bills.
Having combed through the databases of the International Monetary Fund , Eurostat, Global Insights, and the Conference Board, McKinsey paints a vivid picture of why the Greek economy is so uncompetitive — primarily, its extensive bureaucracy and rigid labor rules. Both are strangling Greece's ability to compete in a global economy, whether in the shipping industry, tourism, or even exporting its high-quality olive oil and famous yogurt.
Chrysochoidis, the minister of competiveness, agrees with this assessment.
"The Greek economy was not competitive during the last decades," he said, adding emphatically, "We are going to create a new Greece."
The first step, Chrysochoidis said, is to "reform the business environment."
Chrysochoidis used to be the minister of public order, and is credited with shutting down two Greek terrorist organizations. His new task may be even more daunting — eliminating the mountains of bureaucratic red tape that hinder entrepreneurship and business investment.
He's taken some key first steps. Beginning in April of this year, his ministry established a new streamlined electronic registry system for new businesses called One-Stop Service (OSS). "A new firm can now be established through a single procedure, in one day, with significantly lower costs," according to a ministry statement.
Before the OSS, it would take at least 38 days to register a limited liability corporation in the country. Now, it takes as little as 38 minutes, according to the ministry. The cost of registering a new business has dropped by more than two thirds, as well — to 910 euros ($1,243) from 2,377 euros ($3,248).
Chrysochoidis adds that the ministry has identified 72 additional obstacles to entrepreneurship and has introduced new legislation that will eliminate them.
Among those obstacles are the role the government plays in many sectors of the economy — either through outright ownership of assets, such as a utility; price controls; and high barriers to entry, such as strict limitations on the number of players in a profession, and/or difficult licensing requirements, according to the McKinsey report. Add to all that very tough labor restrictions on large enterprises.
The result is that very few businesses have been able to get started or grow in size, and among those that do small family-owned businesses still dominate — 30 percent of manufacturing employment in Greece is in firms with nine or fewer employees. In Italy, that number is 15 percent, while in Germany it's just 5 percent.
Without what economists call "economies of scale," such as the advantages achieved when you have a large factory versus a small one, it is impossible to achieve higher levels of productivity. That means lower profitability and fewer jobs — something desperately needed in a country where unemployment is at 16 percent.
It's tourism industry is also beset by red tape, which has lead to fewer large-scale hotels and resorts being built.
"Cumbersome licensing processes and a volatile tax framework discourages investments," according to the McKinsey report.
Hence Greece hasn't been able to cater as effectively to modern demand patterns in tourism, such as integrated resorts, vacation homes, large ports for cruises, and marinas for yachting. That leads to an industry based on mass-market travelers rather than the affluent, and hence a loss in revenue: In Greece, tourists spend on average 146 euros ($200) a day, while in Turkey they spend 162 euros ($222) a day, and in it's Italy 200 ($274) a day.
McKinsey also takes aim at the power of unions in the country and the collective bargaining agreements struck over time. Greece, because of its location on one of the largest intercontinental routes, ought to be a good place for cargo port hubs. Yet the country is losing customers to Bulgaria, Turkey, and Romania, because they offer "better operational stability (e.g. fewer non-operating days due to strikes)," the report said.
Perhaps the most difficult hurdle for Greece to overcome, at least politically, is the size of the public sector versus the private sector.
"We cannot serve this huge public economy," said Chrysochoidis. "The small private sector cannot serve the huge public sector."
That kind of talk, unheard of by a member of the government just six moths ago, will be welcome by the country's leading business people.
In June, Dimitri Papalexopoulos, the head of Titan Cement, one of the largest publicly traded companies in Greece, said the country needs to reduce the size of the public sector, and "take a hatchet to this bloated system that pervades all economic activity, cut it down, reduce regulatory burden, (and) cut red tape."
The size of the public sector isn't known for certain. For the first time, the government took a census of government workers and estimated the number at 800,000, but not all municipalities provided data. The Athenian Chamber of Commerce puts the number at 1 million.
Downsizing the public sector is going to be enormously difficult, because the mere notion violates a long-held social compact between the government and the Greek people. The Greek Constitution states that once you are an official government worker, you have a job for life. This rule is the result of a well-intentioned labor reform from early last century—at the time government workers were fired every time there was a change in the party in power.
The government's attempts to lay off a mere 30,000 workers out of 800,000 is already meeting stiff, and sometimes violent, resistance.
Wednesday, a massive two-day strike will get under way, in which thousands of government workers and union members are scheduled to descend on Parliament to protest the layoffs, as well as a new law that would effectively eliminate the mimimum wage and reduce the influence of collective bargaining agreements.
For the most part, the public sector has stopped functioning already: Garbage collectors have stopped collecting garbage; tax collectors have stopped collecting taxes; and the permitting office isn't issuing permits. The city is set to run out of gasoline in a few days because workers are on strike. (These are known as "white strikes," when employees go to the office but don't actually do any work.)
The leader of one of the nation's Communist parties refutes the notion that the government sector is too large. Alexis Tsipras, leader of the Syriza coalition for the radical left, says the government is just too inefficient.
McKinsey agrees: The report found that northern European countries have even larger governments relative to their sizes—however, they're far more efficient.
In addition to contributing to a lack of efficiency, giving government workers a job for life has led to another tough economic consequence — Greece has the lowest employment turnover rate in Europe, the sign of a stagnant economy.
It contributes directly to high levels of youth unemployment, which minister Chrysochoidis acknowledges: "Imagine that in Greece we have 45 percent of young people unemployed," he said. "It's a defeat for Greece because the economy could not employ and absorb those people."

Makeup Storage
October 15, 2009 by kuuipo1207
Filed under Reviews, YT Gurus
My makeup has been getting on my nerves lately. I know…for someone like me, a statement like that is rather sacrilege, but it's the truth. It's not necessarily my makeup, itself, that has been irritating me. It's the whole process of how I store it. I decided to nip that problem in the butt. After seeing how QueenBMakeup stores her little pigments in a recent blogtv show, I made the trek to my nearby Lowe's and did some inexpensive storage hauling. I also nabbed an idea from Nat, a.k.a. natneagle on Youtube, with using a DVD rack to store my palettes in.
Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, let me introduce you to my my makeup storage!!
All my brushes that I use on a regular basis get put in this jar and are set in an easy-to-access corner of my table.
All the rest of my brushes, get shoved in one of four jars in a different not-so-easy-to-access corner of my table.
These items don't really have a home yet, so I put them in this little plastic basket. This basket along with about 5 others this size and 4 that were a bigger size, are what I used to use to store my makeup in on my table. Eventually, that many baskets + too much makeup = a big disaster and massive headache.
As of right now, this is how I store my pigments. I got these cases with the little jars in them at JoAnn Fabric. They really come in handy when I travel with them cause then I can just grab the whole case and pack it, instead of having to individually pack every single pigment. The 13 pigments in front of the cases are pigments that I don't have smaller jars for. So that's their temporary home for now. I'm thinking about getting a nail polish rack like natneagle has, and using that to store my nail polishes and pigments on like she does. Seems like a good idea, but I don't know. Do you guys have any recommendations for pigment storage?
Here's the DVD rack I mentioned earlier. MAC palettes fit in them perfectly! And the Kryolan aqua palettes can fit in them as well with minimal maneuvering. You can get these handy dandy little suckers from Target. I can't quite remember the price but I do remember that it wasn't over $10.00.
How I store my pencil liners and shadow pencils. I stole this nifty little idea from my MAC store. One cup is for lip liners, and one cup is for eye liners and eye shadow pencils.
While browsing Lowe's, I saw this nifty little wall rack. The picture on the packaging showed it being used inside a kitchen cabinet to hold cans and other kitchen stuff, but I though it would work on my wall to hold foundations, moisturizers, and other doodads.
This handy dandy little storage unit is all thanks to QueenBMakeup. She showcased it in one of her blogtv shows for how she stores all the mineral makeup she has. I ran out the next day and bought this one! Haha! This unit was about $20.00. As you can see, it has both little drawers and bigger drawers. These storage units come in a couple of different sizes as shown in the next picture.
I bought the previous storage case thinking that would be all I needed, however, the little drawers were a bit too small to fit my makeup how I wanted it. I can be very OCD about stuff like that. So I ran out and got these 2 storage units that have nothing but bigger drawers. One of these units (which comes with 9 drawers) was about $15.00. Lowe's also carries another type of unit where it has nothing my smaller drawers.
Here's a pic just to show what and how you can fit into the drawers. I LOVE these things! They freed up a lot of space on my makeup table, which I need. I hate the feeling of clutter or the feeling of not having a lot of work space when I'm doing my makeup and recording videos.
I was so proud of myself for putting these up! Didn't need any help from the husband at all! I did hit a minor dilemma, however. You know that ever important saying of "measure twice, cut once"? Well, it applies to installing storage units as well. :p
How do you store your makeup? I think my next endeavor to tackle in organization will be how to store my nail polishes. While writing this post, I took a quick break to count up all my nail polishes and came to realize that I have 75 nail polishes, not including base and top coats or nail art polishes. Eep!

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) The Indianapolis Colts have their new offensive coordinator, and it's someone Andrew Luck already knows.
A person familiar with the decision said Stanford offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton has accepted the same position with the Indianapolis Colts, where he will be reunited with Luck.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity Friday because the deal has not yet officially been announced by the Colts. Team owner Jim Irsay tweeted that the Colts' offense ``could have some pep to it this fall.''
The Colts were hoping that a promised pay raise and a new job title would be enough to keep Bruce Arians in Indy.
But Arians, a longtime NFL assistant, had long dreamed about being an NFL head coach and couldn't say no when the Arizona Cardinals offered him the job Thursday.
Arians stepped in when Chuck Pagano was diagnosed with leukemia in September and went on to tie an NFL record for wins after a midseason coaching change. His 9-3 record not only made him a front-runner for coach of the year honors, but suddenly made him a hot commodity on the interview circuit, too.
Knowing that, Colts general manager Ryan Grigson said Tuesday that while he was hoping Arians would return for a second season as offensive coordinator, he was preparing for life without the 60-year-old Arians.
``I take it upon myself to always be prepared. Just like during the season, I always have a doomsday mindset,'' Grigson said Tuesday. ``I always have a deep reserve of players and people at the ready. That's my job. That's what I've been entrusted to do. I'm just doing my job. It's not cold or heartless, I'm just doing my job.''
Grigson played it coy earlier this week when he was asked whether Plan B would be promoting quarterbacks coach Clyde Christensen to offensive coordinator, a job he held under former coach Jim Caldwell.
But one thing the Colts wanted was continuity for Luck and his young teammates and Hamilton could help in that facet.
He'll have some familiar faces on the roster with Luck, last year's No. 1 overall pick out of Stanford, and tight end Coby Fleener.
Luck set NFL rookie records for attempts and yards passing and fell just short of the league's rookie marks for completions and touchdown passes. He tied the league's single-season record for most winning drives in the fourth quarter (seven) and produced a league-high nine wins in one-possession games.
Hamilton also has a solid supporting cast outside of the two ex-Cardinal players. Running back Vick Ballard, tight end Dwayne Allen and receivers T.Y. Hilton and LaVon Brazill combined with Fleener and others to give Indy (11-5) the highest combined total of yards rushing and receiving by rookies on one team since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger.
Hamilton joined Jim Harbaugh's staff at Stanford in 2010. He was promoted to offensive coordinator when Harbaugh left for the San Francisco 49ers two years ago and David Shaw took over as Stanford's head coach.
Last May, the university officially renamed the offensive coordinator position the ``Andrew Luck Director of Offense'' after an anonymous donor made what the school called a ``very generous'' gift to honor the record-setting quarterback.
Stanford has endowments for many positions in the athletic department, although most are reserved for head coaches and the athletic director.
Hamilton helped continue Stanford's renaissance behind a balanced offense - with and without Luck.
One of the Cardinal's key recruiters, Hamilton also discovered new quarterback Kevin Hogan out of McLean, Va. The strong-armed and quick-footed Hogan finished 5-0 - including beating four ranked teams en route to the Rose Bowl win over Wisconsin on Jan. 1 - since replacing Josh Nunes, who struggled to succeed Luck. Stanford had not won the Rose Bowl since 1972.
Stanford is one of only three schools - Oregon and Wisconsin being the others - who earned BCS bowl berths the past three seasons. The Cardinal routed Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl two years ago and lost in overtime to Oklahoma State in the Fiesta Bowl in Luck's finale.
Stanford has won at least 11 games each of the past three years. The program had won 10 games only three times before (1992, 1940 and 1926).
Losing Arians is only part of Indy's transition.
Since losing a wild-card round game to Baltimore, the Colts have parted ways with special teams coordinator Marrwan Maalouf and watched vice president of football operations Tom Telesco leave to take the general manager job in San Diego.
Grigson replaced Telesco with Jimmy Raye, who had spent the past 16 years in San Diego's front office, and Pagano hired Tom McMahon as his new special teams coach this week.
Grigson said he expects no more major changes to the front office or coaching staff during the offseason.
``Just because we've won one season we're not going to let people just raid the hen house,'' Grigson said. ``I've been on the other side of it myself, it's tough but guys are in contracts and if you're offered a head coaching job or a GM position I have to let you out, but otherwise, I don't.''

sciatic never - Certified Rolfing 10 Series- Treating Sciatica and Sleeve
Certified Rolfing 10 Series- Treating Sciatica and Sleeve
Rolfing Ten Series session three completes what was initiated in the first-hour, defining the body in three-dimensional space (x,y,z). This session should allow the inhibited tissue in the sleeve to ease, and enable the work to transition to a deeper layer in the fourth session.
The Sacro-Iliac joint is not a normal joint; the sacrum itself is affected by your occiput (the back of your skull). Both of these joints move in tandem when you breathe. If this mechanism tightens then your entire spine will stiffen and especially the Sacro-iliac joints. Your meninges (the sheath covering your spinal cord) attaches into the base of your skull, has a minor attachment in the spine between your shoulder blades, and then again at the base of the spine at the sacrum/coccyx.

The main goals in the third-hour are to address structural relationships that limit the lateral line, Z dimension, and address associated rotations/counter rotations in the arms, legs, and torso. Develop a more balanced relationship between the shoulder girdle and thorax enabling it to move freely on ribcage and in lateral line by addressing the structures that shift the body anterior and posterior.

Something that is seldom taught by structural practitioners. Why? Your sciatica would disappear and not return. Leaving your therapist without a patient to treat for the next few years or longer. The big problem is most practitioners will not even assess this joint as being a problem in
can be caused by numerous factors. Most of you are aware of the Piriformis muscle that has the sciatic nerve running through or next to it. If this muscle tightens, sciatica occurs. There are also the disc irritations and joints in the lower back that can all help
to occur. However...
The Certified Rolfing Ten Series has the ability to reduce pain and release tension in the connective and myofascial tissue of the body associated with TMJ, CTS, RLS, Fibromyalgia,
, Fascitis, Bunions, Scoliosis, and Cerebral Palsy. Fascial asymmetries can cause foot, leg, knee, hip, back, shoulder, neck, arm, hand, and head pain; integration therapy is necessary. Orthopedic, Chiropractic, Physical, and Massage Therapist recognize Rolfing and Rolf Movement as premium pain management utilizing Structural, Functional, and Postural Integration.
Defining sciatica and mentioning its affects on pregnancy: The nerve that extends from the lower back to the legs and feet is the sciatic nerve. This nerve is responsible for the sensation in the muscles of the region, i.e. the legs. This sciatic nerve, at time, tends to inflame, mainly because of application of severe pressure in one's backside, or due to a previous injury. This situation is a very undesirable one as it makes one experience the sciatic pain. If this pressure is consistent and there is an unceasing pressure on this nerve, this can cause one to feel weak in their legs and the region surrounding the legs, such as feet. In some cases, numbness and even a sense of tingling was felt by the patients. One can relate this sensation to the one which you feel when you tend to stay in one position for long, and the legs/hands etc. are said to have "fallen asleep". That sensation of pins and needles can be best related to this one.
Differentiate the arms from the scapula and address inspiration/expiration issues and horizontals by resolving the structures that are associated with the primary tilt contributors. The thorax to pelvis relationship of freeing eleventh and twelfth ribs, Q.L. and thoraco lumbar fascia down to L4 must all be addressed in the third-hour. Tractioning on the clients arm while it is extended above their head in sideline exposes the spatial relationships of these segments. Work to further normalize side bends with rotations in the spine and the effect that it has on the ribs.
Symptoms ?? As already mentioned, one experiences the feeling of pins and needles in the legs or the lower back region. ?? Numbness ?? Pain in the pelvic region, lower back, feet etc.
The tissue can be navigated in the three planes of movement and dimension. The Frontal, sagital, and transverse planes are functional movement planes of potentials (x,y,z) that are usually inhibited because of asymmetries in the tissue and structure. The tissue in a similar manner has three primary planes of potential, it can lengthen, rotate, and flatten (x,y,z).
This is a great opportunity to detail work up each vertebrae addressing side bends with rotations, and drift's of the thorax. The position of the vertebrae dictate's the direction of the drift. The ribs are directly affected by the asymmetry in the spine. The ribs are directly affected and acted upon by the position of the segments above and below one another. Make sure to work the x,y,z planes in the tissue of the IT band lateral line and continue to horizontalize the pelvis.
is developed by many females during their pregnancy period. Although, this criterion (of being pregnant), is not absolutely necessary. During pregnancy, severe pressure is put on the back and thus the sciatic nerve. This trends to cause discomfort in the backside, such as backache. If someone has a history of damaging the discs in the spinal chord, this can also lead to sciatic pains. The tissues that surround the nerve tend to undergo inflammation and a direct pressure is put on the sciatic nerve. A good example of this would be a case in which a disc slips out of its initial position and as a result tends to compress the sciatic nerve. As it is, pregnancy makes women more and more na??ve to a disc injury, and thus, the relationship is pretty evident.
If this Sacro-Occipital mechanism tightens, so do the meninges. This can lead to aches and pains throughout the spine. The tightness is greatest in the lower back and leads to
is a condition in which one tends to experience pain in their lower back region and the surrounding areas such as buttocks, legs, feet etc. This condition is mainly caused due to compression and irritation caused in the sciatic nerve, or the nerve roots that combine together to generate the sciatic nerve. In addition to the severe pain, one also experiences weakness in the muscles, sense of numbness, or problems in movement and control of the legs. Generally, only one of the sides of the body gets affected.
Causes The compression of the lumbar nerves present in the human body is one of the causes of Sciatica. Along with lumbar nerves, the sacral nerves also may play a part. As already stated, compression of the sciatic nerve itself is one of the root causes.

Most cases of
can be treated by one or more of the following: ?? Acupuncture ?? Physical therapy ?? Anti-inflammatory medications (for example NSAIDs or oral steroids) ?? Osteopathy ?? Pain medication (for example acetaminophen) ?? Surgery: Surgical options such as lumbar laminectomy and microdiskectomy are considered as good options by many. The difference between the rates of success of diskectomy and microdiskectomy is almost miniscule, but one tends to experience lesser pain and fast recovery with microdiskectomy. ?? Structural integration ?? Yoga ?? Chiropractic ?? Stretching exercises
Diabetic Condition: Diabetes is the condition in which the levels of sugar in the human body tend to exceed their norm and hence makes a person more prone to a damage of the nervous system. Age: As one grows older, there are changes in the spinal region in a person's body. These changes are one of the most common causes of the sciatic condition. The disks present in the spinal chord tend to deteriorate with time and as one approach the age of thirty, this is most common. Lifestyle-related changes: A good example of this would be sitting in one position for long hours, for relaxing one's body. Sitting in one position mustn't be prolonged, for, this makes a person more na??ve to
than those who are comparatively active in their day to day chores. Occupation: If one is occupied in a job which demands them to frequently carry heavier weights, twist their backs, or be on the move for long durations of time, such people are more prone to sciatic condition.
For you to beat
and remain pain free you need to address this joint. You need to relax the tight muscles around your lower back and pelvis, improve the nerve and blood supply to the weaker muscles, improve joint function in your lower back and balance the pelvis.
However in
the key is to make sure your Sacro-Iliac joints are moving correctly. Fail to do this and your sciatica may very well become chronic. Something you can avoid easily by learning simple ways to get this joint moving now!
In most sciatica cases you are told to stretch to ease muscle tension. You are told that it is a disc and you may need surgery or at least a long rehabilitation. Yet more than 87% of all
cases have this joint involved. The joint is...
Risk Factors Associated With
The risk factors that are commonly associated with
are problems in ones health, choice in lifestyle, and factors affecting the innate qualities, like, race, age etc.
The main problem is these joints become habitually tight - as you cannot rest them as they are used almost constantly. To change these joints you need to target them at home each day and train them to work better. Treatment by a practitioner will help, but the breaking of habits requires daily, at home, techniques to train these joints to function correctly.
Address the interosseous membrane of low leg by addressing the x,y,z planes in the tissue and the tibia fibular relationship. Seated back work in flexion and extension, and push reach with pelvic triangle awareness. The back work at MDH should lengthen front and back proportionately. The client should be seated on rami with cued direction of awareness, rolling forward into flexion (yield) and extending up (push). Pelvic lift, general neck work and lift at the sub occipitals to end.
It is a joint that is seldom checked and often forgotten about by most practitioners, and rarely treated. Most at home exercises fail to target this joint in
conditions. However if this joint is not corrected effectively, sciatica will commonly become chronic.
The most common joint to cause sciatica is seldom listed. The joint that allows
to become chronic because it is rarely corrected. The joint you use in almost every activity, whether you bend, lift, twist or even turn over in bed. This joint has no disc and hence can become inflamed and cause back pain and sciatica easily.

Most females develop this condition of sciatica at some point during their pregnancy and otherwise as well. It might just well be a coincidence that they experience discomfort when pregnant. In some cases, pain in the pelvis region is also misinterpreted for sciatica-related pains, this notion, however, is incorrect.

David Mayfield opens his sophomore LP Good Man Down singing, �I left Ohio when I thought I was a man.�
The singer-songwriter � and older bro to musician sister Jessica Lea Mayfield � then spends the rest of the mellow, Americana-flecked effort wrestling with those issues that hit home as one enters into adulthood, namely love, death and what it takes to grow into the person you were meant to be.
It�s a newfound level of maturity that reaches a peak on the introspective �Was It Only Me.�
�Time would tell it was me who was changing,� he sings atop a lush bed of string and acoustic strumming.
Gradually the music follows suit, and these subtler details give way to a grungy rock riff that, like life itself, grows both harder and more chaotic as the song builds to its cathartic close.
The Kalob Griffin Band and Paper Planes open the show.
