Let your vote be heard!
On Nov. 5, 2012, at 7:30 p.m. at a meeting to be held at the Bureau Township Hall at the corner of 2100 North Avenue and 1500 East Street next to the former township school gym and ag building, the Bureau Township Board of Trustees plans to vote on increasing salaries to be paid to all the township officials of Bureau Township for the upcoming term of 2013-2017.
The board voted in 2008 to significantly raise their salaries (the part-time township road commissioner by more than 300 percent from $5,000 to $20,400-plus per year).
I was told by the township supervisor at the time that this increase in salary would be totally paid for by the windmills which would be coming in shortly.

Posted: Feb 13, 2013 1:17 AM by ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Barry Bonds is asking a federal court to toss out his felony obstruction of conviction.
His lawyers and federal prosecutors are scheduled to argue the issue Wednesday before a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeal in San Francisco.
A jury convicted Major League Baseball's career home run leader in April 2011 of obstruction for giving a rambling answer about being a "celebrity child" to a question about whether his personal trainer ever injected him with anything.
His lawyers argue that the answer was neither misleading nor untrue. Prosecutors argue that Bonds meant to confuse the jury.
The former San Francisco Giant and Pittsburgh Pirate isn't expected to appear and the judges will rule on the case later.

Friday Cocktail Hour: The Vesper
Skyfall with son James, and with a fresh bottle of Lillet on hand, and having never tried this preposterous sounding cocktail with the beguiling name, well, I had to give the Vesper a go. Checking my resources I noticed that one, the very elegant and excellent ratio-oriented book, See Mix Drink, includes a twist of orange rather than the customary lemon twist. I contacted the author, Brian D. Murphy, who explained his rationale via email:
"Alessandro, the bartender at the Dukes Hotel in London (where the cocktail originated), replaces the lemon with an orange peel. When I visited there and asked why, he said it pairs much better with the hint of orange ...

Proposed measure would let voters decide on same-sex marriage
Posted at: 01/31/2013 6:21 PM
By: Stuart Dyson, KOB Eyewitness News 4
Proposed legislation that would let New Mexico voters decide if same-sex marriage should be legal in the state cleared its first committee hearing Thursday night at the State Capitol.
The House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee approved the bill by a 3-to-2 party-line vote with Democrats in the majority.
The legislation is a proposed amendment to the State Constitution. If the legislature approves it, voters would get the final say in next year's general election. If they say 'yes' to it, the state would not be able to deny a marriage license to a same-sex couple. The state would not be able to require any church to perform a same-sex marriage, and churches would not be forced to recognize the marriage for religious purposes.
Thursday evening's hearing brought people for and against gay marriage to the Capitol. Dozens waited in the hallway unable to get seats inside.
"I've been with my partner for 40 years,' said Tony Sanchez. "40 years in June. It would be nice to make it legal finally. All my life I've been hiiding and lying."
"It is the exact opposite of what marriage is intended to be," said Glen Strock. "Marriage as designed by our creator is intended to be between a man and a woman."
The bill has a rival - another proposed constitutional amendment that would define marriage as a union between one man and one woman.
The next committee to hear the bill will be House Voters and Elections. The hearing has not yet been scheduled.

What kind of dosage do you take of GABA Gav? how long would the above last?
Gracie Barra Newcastle / Dave Elliott BJJ team
capsule wise you would want a min of 5 per "serving" , one pack = 80 servings , so 160 days.
if you took 5 every night then 80 days , etc etc.
with the powder you would want one level / heaped teaspoon , either under your tongue ( best ) , or in water ( tastes fine ) and i would say you would get between 40-100 servings depending on how much you want and how much you would take really.
The tingling sensation is very nice and relaxing but the shortness of breath ( only lasts 30 seconds) can be unpleasent , and as no one told me back in the day it freaked me out a bit.
hope this helps
sounds really good for you that shortness of breath thing? Do you know what causes that? I did get some of this a few years ago and I quite like the feeling of a million spiders crawling all over your face. You do sleep really, really well. may be not so good with a 8 week old baby though
I dont know what causes it and i think it affects me more than others judging by the feedback , know what you mean with the baby thing when my youngest was born i had to lay off it a bit , good shit though.
better quality sleep , it drops you into deep sleep approx 1hr quicker and keeps you there for longer so you can sleep less and wake up feeling better , bodybuilders take it because they believe the better sleep helps your body produce natural hgh.
and its very relaxing, simple as that really!
reccommended, I had some before. Great to help you switch off after a late night training session and get a quality nights sleep.
Although don't rely on it, make sure you have a regular sleep patten if possible
a few tubs of capsules andf a few tubs of powder left, get it while its hot

"Respect the Architect: DJs Are Musicians" article
Big ups Ruben for sharing this with me. Now, I pass it on to the readers…
Here is the actual link to the article, but for ease of use, praise 'copy and paste'
Respect the Architect: DJs Are Musicians
What is hip-hop without the DJ? Better yet, what is modern music without it either? The music industry until recently was vastly shaped by the taste-making DJs who were responsible for earning the trust of the average person and impressing upon them the latest tunes to enjoy. This practice had especially involved into a showcase of craftsmanship, polished knowledge of music, and bragging rights within the past three decades. DJing has become such a sensation that even a recent trend has developed with actors and personalities in Hollywood trying their hand at the craft, but that's another story. The DJ culture has changed the way people interact with and enjoy music, and even recently has allowed pretty much anybody to enjoy partaking in it. It's partly this reason that there has been recent criticism about the flood of inexperienced people seeking to either profit or take advantage of the technology that has simplified the mixing of music to mere button pushing. The profession has always been under scrutiny from music pundits, and even starting from its heyday, has had to fight to prove its validity.
Raydar: Sampling is seen as some sort of criminal act. A lot of the guys who produce were DJs. You get into this whole argument then where it's about them not using an instrument. It's not an instrument in the traditional sense.
The now infamous party that Kool Herc spun at in Sedgwick & Cedar projects in the Bronx back in 1973 that is credited as the start of hip-hop, as well as the mistake Grand Wizzard Theodore made when he 'scratched' his record when his mother told him to quiet it down and he stopped the record for a moment, set in motion a new generation of musicians who turned to their old records to create music. Yes, I said musicians.
But wait, here comes the protectors of all things related to 'real music' who have to dash the hopes of the kids by telling them that they have just been living a fantasy. They'll tell the people at the party that what they're listening to is pure rubbish, and they need a real band to have a good time. While this is only a part of the disdain for the hip-hop culture itself, DJs are especially seen as skill-less hacks who like the modern day producer as well have nothing better to do than to steal from other musicians to earn a quick buck. While this view has become less common with this generation who grew up on legendary DJs such as Jazzy Jeff, Jam Master Jay, Red Alert and Marley Marl, there still persists within especially the classically trained circles a rejection of this development without any realistic consideration to what is shared in common rather than not. And this stubbornness has been very misleading on many levels, some of which will be highlighted in this post.
Raydar: It's the same thing over again. That's how history repeats itself. You look into the past to advise what we will do in the future. The same thing with criticism, it's all coming back again.
Before any type of meaningful discussion can take place on the authenticity of this art form through, a crucial event in the decade that hip-hop was born in has to be taken into account. The massive downsizing of public schooling in the 70s, which included the elimination of music programs, had a much larger impact on urban culture, one which may have very well altered the trajectory of music in the United States itself. The communities of mostly African Americans and Hispanics were mostly on the edge of poverty, or living in it. Due to this, many could not afford to have their children engage in the kinds of activities that have since been proven to be essential to child development. This included the arts and physical education. Public school offered these programs, and many a legendary musicians got their start because of this kind of societal investment. When hard economic times and conservative politics started to cut the budgets for these programs, many children were left without ways to express themselves creatively.
Raydar: But that's the cool thing about music. There's always going to something new, or some way people remake what we have to make new sound.
This is the point that the majority of critics entirely miss for the most part. When one considers that the birth and surge in popularity of the modern DJ began at this same time, it becomes clear that this shift was not voluntary. Many of the early DJs who come out of this period have often mentioned that the elimination of the arts in schools severed kids from access to instruments, teachers who knew musical theory, and opportunities that they otherwise had no way of getting involved in. When DJs such as Kool Herc and Grandmaster Flash showed that there was a way for then to make music using only a record player, many took to this chance to develop their creative skills through this other means. It seems as if though some of these so called purists forget about this, or maybe didn't realize the kind of privileges they had, but others didn't.
Raydar: Just because you can't write it down, doesn't mean that it's not an instrument. The writing is only a translation of what happened.
DJs are not purely isolated to hip-hop and dance music either, and the argument that they have never worked with other 'musicians' in a musical setting is false. The now famous hit of the 80s from Herbie Hancock, "Rock It," featured the scratching of Grandmaster DXT on the track when the art of turntablism was just starting to grow into something bigger. This kind of experimentation also led many DJs into the realm of sampling, which has become the foundation for the modern day producer. By the time Branford Marsalis' Buckshot Lefonque came out with "Breakfast At Denny's" a decade later with Gang Starr's own DJ Premier doing the cuts, the concept of being a DJ had evolved especially within the hip-hop circles to allow for more methods of expression. From looping a part of a song together to create a extended mix, to the transformation of using records to construct new songs or sound collages, the options of what a DJ could do were greatly extended.
Raydar: You have trumpet valves, you have bass strings, you have hi-hats. But all of those things are pieces of metal, pieces of string. They're tools, just like the synthesizer is a tool. But its only devised in a way that makes it more user friendly. It's still just a bunch of wires in a metal box. Just like the turntables are a a tool.
Just as turntables started out with a different purpose, musicians over the years have approached various instruments differently from their original intended purpose. They have gotten creative in the way they draw new sounds from their instruments, such as using plungers on trumpets, plucking the strings on a upright bass or swiping on a grand piano wire. Or even the improvisation of using common objects to make sounds such as blowing on a bottle or a shell is right up there. It's this kind of thinking that really draws a similarity and realization in the way a musician, or any type of artist for that matter, finds new ways to express themselves through any tool and means available to them. In truth, there really should be no reason to differentiate between the development of the DJ or any other kinds of musicians. They may work with what they have differently, but what they are trying to achieve is the same: making music.
Raydar: That's the thing that rubs a lot of people the wrong way. They say that "oh their using prerecorded sounds." So what? Then they try to say that you're not a musician.
One of the main attempts to discredit DJs and their methods of producing music is the claim that the turntables themselves aren't capable of generating sounds themselves, which is funny to me, since I don't recall a drum or a sax or a piano playing itself unless there is a human or some kind of object to produce the sound vibration. Mainly the blame goes towards the notion of the equipment DJs use as not being authentic, meaning acoustic in their terms. By that notion, it would then be unfair to provide any kind of musician with the equipment used to record or reproduce sound then, since the music is not being created authentically. It's this sense of technophobia that is commonplace amongst such critics that can bad mouth anything musical from the 80s to the present, but aren't able to see there being a little hypocrisy.
Raydar: And then you had groups like The Beatles who would use samples of audio recordings on their records. It was on The White Album they did.
Many of these critics who tend to discredit such technological advances also then place the likes of artists like Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix on a musical pedestal above those in the hip-hop culture. What is overlooked in those cases is those acts were notorious for using sound effects, distortion, and unique panning methods with their music. Yet countless artists, even in jazz, cite them as a influence or as being great practitioners of music. The majority of the critics against hip-hop will admit, maybe even brag about, the fact that these artists are in fact valid. Just don't let these artists they praise get involved with jazz or come from the urban culture, because then that would be sacrilegious on all counts and would put them at risk to getting their music card revoked.
Raydar: We wrote out quarter notes, 16th notes, just like any other (instrument). You devise your measures, time signatures and everything. We have icons that let you know how to accentuate the cut, or which way to rub the record, so there's definitely an accomplice to that. That's why I see it as an instrument.
The turntables were also discredited as an instrument because no notational system had been devised for sheet music musicians to read. This has changed though. In the hip-hop classes at Berklee, Raydar says that his students have to learn about using the pitch changes on the turntable to hear the new sounds they made, and then assign notes to those sounds. And since the turntable is capable of reaching pitch ranges that the original sound they are using couldn't, they are in fact generating new sounds from their turntable. I don't know how then that can be interpreted as stealing music when the sounds the DJs make can't even be reproduced by the original musicians themselves in many cases, and did you get down that there is a notation system that DJs use?
Raydar: One of the things that we have now more than ever is portable technology. The lines between what you can do in a studio and what you can do on a stage now are getting blurred…I've seen bands now triggering live samples on stage alongside a horn section with a DJ on the side.
If there is still any doubt about this, then one should consider what the new advancements in software aimed at DJs are starting to unlock. The leading program, Serato, has already sent a shock wave through the DJ sphere and freed them up from certain limitations from before. Plus now with the added functionality of sampling and the ability to hook up a drum pad, likening it to the famous Akai MPC or SP-1200 line, DJs can more easily expand their repertoire to include sounds of any instrument such as a drum or a keyboard to play with the music they're spinning. This unlocks the potential for them to manipulate their music in ways that were mostly limited to a studio, or if someone was willing to bring their equipment with them to a show, and to take the sounds of classical instruments and play in the same way the revered musicians of the past could. I know this is scary for the purists out there, but yeah, it's happening. This avenue in being explored now as we speak, and finally shatters the final barrier in the so called debate of musicians.
Raydar: Every time I get on a turntable deck, I really begin to take off and go on all of these tangents and find all of these things, and then I find some way to pull it all back together in the end. And the end result is that everyone is dancing. That's incredible to me, but I'm pretty sure that for any instrumentalist they feel the same way. Spending all that time practicing with your fingers on the flip board to try to get the positions right, and for some guys you have to stretch your pinky extra. It may hurt at the time, but you work it out and get used to it. And then you go as a musician on stage and present it, and people will dance to it.
At this point, the DJ culture has been embraced by the world on a underground and mainstream level, and those who choose to resist this have mainly become victims of their own selective tastes and memory. It always struck me as being bizarre that this idea would even come up where there was a time that Jazz music was considered inauthentic as well. From it's early days where the Creole musicians would mock the African-Americans for playing what they considered uneducated nonsense, to the times of the 30s when it was referred to as jungle music, Jazz has had to climb a similar uphill battle to achieve recognition for its place as American music, and for many of its musicians to attack what essentially came out of the same cultural tradition is very much baffling. Maybe there is some ageism involved, or there are some valid points in these criticisms. At the end of the day though, if you can dance to it or feel it, then who cares? This has always been the nucleus to the rise of any music genre, and both hip-hop and Jazz have the ability to do that. Both also have taken their place in influencing music worldwide, and both are here to stay. So stop talking all that Jazz, and get hip-hopping when you hear that beat.

The New York Times has proclaimed him to be swaggeringly abrasive and "one of the country's most eloquent and acid-tongued critics." The New York Observer has labeled him a "zigzagging cultural omnivore." Pete Hamill of The New Yorker encourages readers to "savor his vigorous prose, and prepare to be surprised."
And last week, in an episode of The Daily Show, he eagerly debated with Jon Stewart on the subject of cyber-bullying:
I think it's safe to say that with Against the Machine: Being Human in the Age of the Electronic Mob, author Lee Siegel lives up to his unabashed reputation with a provocative exposition of what he deems "the most radical transformation of private and public life in the history of humankind" - the Internet.
Mr. Siegel never fails to intrigue and entertain as he packs a pop culture punch and attacks what has become second-nature to most of us - surfing the Web, emailing, blogging, watching reality television, even our regular Starbucks outings - with a fresh, albeit a bit stinging, perspective. He questions why society has so blindly accepted the Internet as a utopia of human connection and points out that, in fact, it actually fosters isolation, bullying, invasions of privacy, and a false sense of reality...to name a few!
Please join us on Thursday, March 6th at 7:00pm, when Mr. Siegel visits Darien Library as part of our Ouside the Box series. You won't want to miss this opportunity to meet one of the most respected and buzzed about culture-critics in the nation.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase.
A book signing will follow the presentation and there will be a drawing for prizes.
Refreshments will be served. Coffee is courtesy of Darien Starbucks.
Darien Library wraps up an extremely successful Adult Summer Reading Program with a Grand Finale Wine & Cheese Party on Wednesday, August 22 at 7 p.m. Award-winning journalist Stacy Lytwyn Maxwell will be our special guest. Maxwell's 13 years of research have yielded a fabulous and fun book, Consummate Connecticut: Day Trips with Panache, which features 48 different Connecticut cities, towns, and villages, and all there is to do and see in the Nutmeg State.
The Adult Summer Reading Program, which concludes after 10 weeks, had nearly 400 participants. More than 600 entries (each one representing a book read) for raffle prizes were submitted. Each week of the program, the Library held a drawing for a bag of books. The bags of books included autographed books, advanced readers copies of future bestsellers, and/or newly published titles.
Three Grand Prizes (two L.L. Bean duffle bags and a Vera Bradley travel kit) will be announced and awarded at the Grand Finale event, and all who attend will receive a gift of a copy of Maxwell's book.
Participation in the Adult Summer Reading Program is not necessary to attend the Wine & Cheese Party.
What better way to celebrate both Earth Day and National Poetry Month than by joining us at 3 p.m. on Sunday, April 22nd for The Poet's Voice. Natalie Safir is the author of four collections of poetry and her poems have appeared in numerous anthologies and journals. Raised in New York City and now living in Tarrytown Ms. Safir has been teaching poetry and writing for more than twenty years. We are delighted she will be with us for this annual spring Library event.

Q&A: Kaiser Permanente's Next CEO Talks Strategy
HLM: Since you're so far along with electronic health records, can you talk how to avoid harmful effects that an error in an electronic health record system can have? The Institute of Medicine recently elaborated on so-called 'cut and paste' errors as just one example.
BT: All I can tell you, which is evident of what we see in our program and what we report to our quality committee on a regular basis, the evidence we see is that our patients are safer. We can demonstrate that and we have a much better understanding of the enormous task of coordinating a lot of different things.
And the centerpiece of that is the health information. The quality of our information is such now that because we're a fully integrated system, the pieces talk to each other. So the pharmacy is a part of the record, so we know and we can cross track prescriptions, and as a result we've had a major decline in any kind of medication error.
We're able to track our patients better and give them coordinated care after they get out of the hospital. It's a learning curve for any organization that gets into the electronic health record, but we're seeing the opposite in terms of the benefit that it's providing to our leaders and healthcare providers in making quality decisions based on good information.
HLM: How is your life going to change with this new job?
BT: I suspect I'll have a little more to do. I've been very fortunate to have increasing responsibilities inside and outside of Kaiser Permanente. I think that, it's going to require me, after we get through the transition that I'm continuing to understand the industry and the country and where we're going and the role we're going to play. And helping to lead and guide healthcare transformation in this country.
I will continue to contribute inside and outside the organization. Since Kaiser Permanente plays a role in the entire industry, my focus will be external and internal, whereas as president, my focus was predominantly internal, with some external.

- Political instability
- Heavy dependence on public aid
- Economy still dominated by agriculture and fishing
- Business environment deficiencies
Risk assessment
Weak growth dependent on oil revenue prospects
Growth will remain moderate in 2013. Encouraged by funding from the IMF and the World Bank the tourism and fisheries sectors, important sources of employment are expected to benefit from public investment. The construction sector will benefit from new infrastructure projects, comprising particularly the construction of an airport, a deep water port and tourism installations. The increase in private investment will boost services (60% of GDP) chiefly the retail trade, the hotel and restaurant businesses. The primary sector (20% of GDP) still relies on coffee and cocoa, the main exports, which continue to concentrate investments in the agricultural sector. Consequently São Tome and Príncipe remains dependent on food imports. Regarding demand, private consumption is expected to increase in 2013 in line with the 21.7% rise in the minimum wage in January 2012. The main barrier to the country's growth will be the strong slowdown of the Portuguese economy its main trading partner. In the medium term, oil revenues prospects are very substantial for the third smallest world economy. Initially planned for 2011, the commercial exploitation of offshore platforms is now anticipated for 2015. The future revenues will be centralised on a joint account with the American Federal Reserve in order to ensure good management.
Highly vulnerable external accounts
The archipelago remains heavily dependent on international aid despite the multilateral debt relief agreed in 2007 and the three year IMF Extended Credit Facility approved in July 2012. Thanks to incomes from the granting of oil concessions in 2012, the fiscal deficit was reduced but their absence in 2013 will put pressure on public finances. Therefore, international aid will be essential until oil revenues take over at the earliest from 2015. Regarding to the external accounts, there is a significant current account deficit attributable to the country's geographic isolation. Beside, the country trade deficit will continue to suffer from a rise in imports necessary for the development of oil infrastructures. This substantial imbalance leaves the economy vulnerable to external shocks. Imported inflation has been curbed thanks to the pegging of the dobra to the euro since January 2010. This was made possible thanks to an agreement with Portugal which promised financial support in case of a sharp fall in foreign exchange reserves. Finally the banking system remains largely under-developed. The archipelago has only eight banking institutions, two insurance companies and no stock market. Again in 2013, the rise in non-performing loans is expected to curb credit growth.
A risk of early elections due to gridlock cohabitation
The political situation remains relatively fragile. The hopes and desires raised by oil led to a coup d'etat fomented by mercenaries in 2003, which ended with a Memorandum of Understanding (and an amnesty for those involved in the coup). Another attempt in 2009 was aborted thanks to the early arrest of the protagonists, among them ex-mercenaries of the 2003 coup. The prosperity expected from the oil deposits is taking a long time to materialise. This popular frustration led to the election in August 2011 of the former president, Pinto da Costa, who ruled the country from 1975 to 1990, during the single-party communist era. The fragile cohabitation with the Prime Minister Trovoada, the winner of the legislative elections, galvanises the opposition. They obtained the majority at the Parliament thanks to the formation of a coalition. Political instability reaches its peak in December 2012 with the government dismiss by presidential decree following the censure motion passed by the Parliament. In the perspectives of next parliamentary elections in 2014, political tensions should increase in 2013.
After the recasting of the investment law and the lowering of corporation tax from 45% to 25% in 2009, the pace of reform slowed. Institutional weaknesses continue to limit economic freedom. The judicial system is not able to defend property rights effectively while corruption remains widespread, which compromises the development prospects.

Around 75% of us will suffer from back pain at some stage in our lives. But what causes it, and what is the best course of action to cope with the pain, and speed up recovery?
The back is a complex system of bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves, which all work together to produce the strength and movement that we take for granted. Problems, and pain, occur when this system becomes strained or damaged, or more rarely, when it becomes diseased.
for the spinal cord – the main communication cable between your body and brain.
This article on back pain is written by Jackie Griffiths, a freelance journalist who writes health, medical, biological, and pharmaceutical articles for national and international journals, newsletters and web sites.
In most cases, problems are described as simple lower back pain – that is, pain caused by a simple mechanical cause such as a strain or injury. That is not to say that the pain itself is simple; it can often be very severe. This kind of back pain accounts for as many as 19 out of 20 cases.
Simple lower back pain is most often caused, or exacerbated, by lifestyle factors, including:
In addition, being generally unfit and/or overweight puts a huge amount of stress on the back, as the muscles will not be as strong as they should be and are being asked to carry more weight than they're designed for.
Because the cause of back pain can build up over a period of time, it is often difficult for your doctor to pinpoint the exact reason for your back pain. Damage to muscles and tendons is unlikely to show up on x-rays or other tests, so you may find that your GP diagnosis is rather vague. This is not necessarily a cause for alarm as the treatment for most minor back injuries is the same.
However, if you find yourself with a back injury that you cannot put down to a specific incident or injury, you should look at the factors in the list above to try and identify for yourself where the problem may lie. If you don't address the root cause, the chances that are the problem will occur again at some point in the future.
Contrary to the long held belief, you should not treat simple back pain with bed rest. Recent research has shown that it's far more effective to stay as active as possible, using simple painkillers, such as paracetamol and ibuprofen, to control the pain. Since diagnosis is difficult, and largely irrelevant in the case of simple back pain, there can be little to gain from visiting your GP in the first instance. In many cases the pain will subside in three to four weeks, and the vast majority of people will be pain free after six. If your symptoms persist beyond this time, or increase in severity, either suddenly or gradually, this is the time to visit your GP.
While most instances of back pain are down to simple injuries and strains, there are some more serious causes, including:
While the pain from these more complex causes may be hard to distinguish from simple back pain, there are a number of factors that could indicate this is the case. If you experience any of the following, you should consult your GP:
The last two symptoms are particularly important they can indicate a very serious problem called Cauda Equina Syndrome. This must be treated urgently to prevent permanent damage to the nerves supplying the bladder and genital area. If you experience these symptoms, you should consult your doctor or local A&E department immediately.
However, these conditions are extremely rare, and most cases of back pain, even though they may feel serious and severe to you, are likely to be caused by the simple back pain factors discussed above. Manage your discomfort with painkillers, keep moving as much as possible, and you should feel fine in just a few weeks.
