This problem has suddenly become epidemic. It happens to me now every half hour or so --- for the past two weeks or so. Even when I merely have ID CS5 running in the background. It seems to happen to all kinds of files: one I created in CS5.5 on another computer then downgraded via IDML back to CS5, others that I created in this CS5 program, others that I imported from CS4 for updating.
It seems very apparent that this is some external conflict, not an error in the way users are manipulating ID CS5 files.
Although crashes often seem to be the same as someone else's problem, they usually are not, and it's best to start your own thread, so I've branched this off into a new discussion.
Please provide more details about version of ID and your OS, and if you have a crash report please post it on Pastebin.com (NOT here) and put a link here. Akos describe waht sorts of things youare doing when the crash happens, and what you doen so far.
OS Windows 7 Pro 64 with ID CS5 on one computer ..,. Windows 8 Consumer Beta 64 with ID CS5.5 on another. Problem is equally persistent and equally recent on both computers.
Because of the OS difference and the ID version difference yet identical crash frequency, plus the fact that this suddenly started a week or two ago, it seems likely that it's some conflict from a Microsoft or Adobe update.
Because Adobe bizarrely continues to fail to include Autosave with ID, there's no solution other than to re-create lost changes and try to remember to save every 60 seconds.
Are both computer connected to any common network?
can you provide the crash log?
No, they're not even in the same country. Nothing that links them except Adobe and Microsoft.
Don't know where MS keeps crash logs. (It's a Microsoft crash message, not Adobe, but it specifies ID CS% as the crashing program.)
There might be a Dr. Watson log on the XP machine. The bad news is that XP 64 bit is not a supported OS, so mostly you're on your own there, and sometimes things just don't work.
Any common utilities, font manager or the like on both systems? Any idea what you might have changed a week or two ago? have you tried using system restore to see if you can go back in time to when it didn't happen?
The two machines use Windows 7 and Windows 8 (Pro and Consumer, respectively). No XP system involved.
Don't use a font manager. No new ID extensions or utilities.
I'm constantly installing updates (which is why I'm not going to start playing around with System Restore), mostly Windows critical updates, also Firefox, iTunes, video drivers, anti-malware etc., etc. I recently installed a new ripping program that isn't a household brand name, so I'll uninstall that to see if somehow it causes the problem.
Its pretty strange that on both the machine it is crashing which have different OS and different version of the Indesign...
As peter said you can collect the crash log from Dr.watson ,
under Windows, hit Windows-R and paste in "%AllUsersProfile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson" and then open DRWTSN32.LOG. Windows just keeps adding new crash logs to that file, so go to the end and search backwards for "App: " and make sure you've got the correct crash (InDesign.exe).
Also can you check in teh selective startup , is there any other application that may be conflicting.:- http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-servic es-windows.html
Another case of I misread a post and saw XP instead of Windows 8. Windows 7 doesn't have Dr. Watson logs, and I doubt they brought them back for Windows 8.
Aside form "you take your chances with beta software" I'm pretty sure Bob has been running Windows 8 for a few months with no problems, so I still think there's a common utility or something that conflicts.
Since the OP is unwilling to run system restore as a diagnostic test, though, I don't see much point in going further.
At the risk of not being helpful:
Because Adobe bizarrely continues to fail to include Autosave with ID, there's no solution other than to re-create lost changes and try to remember to save every 60 seconds.
InDesign does have automatic file recovery, and as of CS5 it works pretty well.
After the program crashes, it should restart and prompt you to open the crash-recovered file.
If that does not happen for you, it might suggest that your crashes are relating to the autosave functionality [???].
This is potentially VERY helpful. It wouldn't fix the underlying problem but it sure would mitigate much of the damage.
But where are the autosaved files kept? I know that ID creates a temp idlk file whenever an indd file is open, but the idlk file isn't a backup (at least not for me), it's just a duplicate. When the program crashes, the idlk file just disappears. Or goes somewhere I'm not able to find.
There's an Adobe forum thread about this ... consensus seems to be that everyone is upset over lack of autosave in CS5 ... one writer (who identifies himself as an Adobe employee) responded that true autosave isn't included iun CS5 because the constant saving of huge files would sap resources of even the fastest and memory-gifted systems. He got crapped on pretty hard by about a thousand respondents who said, in effect, "give it to us and if it slows things down too much, give us the option of turning it off."
Recovery files are probably not quite the same as the autosave files you are looking for. They're stored in your InDesign Recovery folder in your user library/profile unless you've moved the recovery folder in the prefs. As far as I know, However, they can only be read by ID as it starts up, not through any sort of normal File > Open.. command, and I don't believe they are human readable, but John may know more about them.
I have nothing to add over Peter on this.
Thanks to all of you. At least I can now persuade myself that this isn't something incredibly stupid and incredibly obvious that I'm screwing up.
Interestingly, I've been working furiously today on a ID CS5 project that involves many files, lots of graphics, and a fusillade of changes demanded by a client --- and haven't had a single crash. It has been literally weeks since I was able to say that at the end of ther work day.

Information technology (IT) is a hands-on engineering discipline, concerned with the collection, storage, transmission, and management of data within businesses and other organizations. IT professionals help individuals, departments, and entire enterprises with their computer services and repairs. The online information technology bachelor's degree is an excellent option for those want to enter the field with a broad understanding of IT applications and technologies. Additionally, this degree will prepare candidates who want to further their education and contributions to the field with a master's degree in information technology.
Why a Bachelor's Degree?
The first step toward a career in information technology is completing the necessary level of education and training in this field. It is certainly possible to get an IT job with only an associate degree in information technology, but you can greatly increase your employment opportunities and annual earning potential by pursuing the bachelor's degree. This undergraduate degree provides both specialized instruction and general education in a variety of subjects. Upon graduation, students will be able to apply their diverse knowledge and skills to real-world settings in information technology and beyond.
Getting Into a Bachelor's Degree Program
One of the best ways to break into information technology is to earn a bachelor's degree in this field. Although admissions criteria vary from school to school, most bachelor's degree applicants need to have the following:
- High school diploma or its equivalent
- Desired score on the SAT, ACT, and/or entrance exam
- Minimum required GPA
Inside an Information Technology Bachelor's Degree Program
Most online information technology bachelor degree programs can be completed in four years, depending on your individual program, course load, and pace. IT majors will take a wide variety of major courses, such as introduction to computer security, systems acquisition and sourcing, web development, database systems, Unix fundamentals, and introduction to programming. General education courses, like writing, mathematics, and speech are also directly applicable to information technology professionals' work.
Whether you're taking a few classes online or completing the entire bachelor's degree from home, it's important for distance learners to maintain good communication and involvement throughout their IT program. To ensure academic success, students should log in to their classes' learning management system on a daily basis. Here, they'll find course material, lectures, assignments, grades, and messaging tools to communicate with your instructors and classmates about school.
What's Next for Information Technology Bachelor's Degree Holders?
Graduates of the IT bachelor's program will be equipped and ready to do various entry- and middle-level jobs. There are many career options for bachelor's degree holders, including the popular computer support specialist and network and computer systems administrator positions. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of computer support specialists and network and computer systems administrators is expected to grow at a higher rate than most other occupations. Computer support specialists could experience an 18% increase in employment, and network and computer systems administrators could experience a 28% increase in employment by 2020. Both occupations also have favorable annual salaries, depending on the individual's employer, location, education, and experience. According to the 2010 BLS report, computer support specialists made an average annual salary of $46,260. Two years later, in 2012, network and computer systems administrators made $76,320.
A bachelor's degree in information technology is the minimum educational requirement for many entry-level IT positions, but that does not mean you shouldn't or won't be asked to pursue a higher degree in the future. If you want to continue your IT education beyond the undergraduate level, you should consider earning your master's degree in information technology. Not only will completing a graduate degree expand your knowledge and skills, but it also makes you more valuable and competitive in the job market.

I just saw the tape today of the fight on tv.
It looked to me that Briggs held Mercer with one arm and while behind him and to the side, hit him while holding, with several shots which I never would have believed would have even buzzed Ray, but ko'd him.
It looked like a clear cut case of a foul of holding and hitting without the ref Brian Garry saying one word about it.
Barry Thompkins and Sean O'Grady did not say one single word or even hint at it. What the hell is going on?
It seems that Mercer was supposed to lose, Briggs is on the rise, so anything goes?
I just wanted to say to all my Cyberboxingzone friends besides wishing everyone a very Happy and Merry Christmas and healthy new year that I am very grateful to all of the caring boxing people who stood by me to help me get back into that ring.
Furthermore, whether I ever get my referee license again
in NY or not due to what I know specifically is a totally unjust situation, I have come to a few conclusions about life.
I believe I remain someone who will still speak out like all of you when a boxing situation merits it, and I would still like to think I am the same tough street kid I was long ago but I have come to realize one truth.
There are many good people in boxing who have shown me they a good guys to the marrow of their bones and one of best of them is Teddy Atlas.
I have come to respect and really like Teddy and I count myself as one of his friends. I had him all wrong and I can tell you for sure his heart is in the right place and that is all that counts to me in this hard hard life we all face. We both love boxing and may or may not disagree on things from time to time, but he is the salt of the earth kind of guy.
I also think I was wrong to Publicly criticize some refs who fouled up in the ring, only because they did not do it on purpose and were doing the best they could.
Certain refs who got assignments through relatives my opinion stays the same, especially regarding ring injuries and death. That being said, I think I was very wrong to risk hurting any human beings feelings, because nothing is worth that to me anymore in life.
So, whether or not I get back in that ring again, the new year for me will see a different outlook on things. We as boxing fans see everything, we all know what is going on but as a fighter I never enjoyed hurting any man, and I never want to hurt another person's feeling either that did not come gunning for me personally so to speak.
People have shown me recently when I have really been down as far as I could go that they have a good heart, and it has changed my outlook tremendously.
thank you all,
That's very impressive Ron. It's always a struggle, then some sweetness, more struggle, the warm sun, stumbling on a can of beans in a remote corner of the pantry meaning you can put off going to the store until tomorrow and enjoy the last of your beer and tacos in style.
"No matter how much I struggle and strife, I'll never get out of this world alive"......Hank Williams, chorus of the last song he ever wrote and was #1 country hit probably blaring on the radio as he lay dying in the back of his chauffered Caddy.
It's easy to get down of people as you noted, but then I look around and see all manner of folk with traits I find superior to myself who are more humble and caring and hey, I'm not such a big shot or cold cynic anymore. I'll just enjoy the roses when they bloom, waitout the yearly ice storms, and be happy to be feeling alive to see and hear of incredible things.
Merry Christmas ALL.........I sorta had a premature Christmas with finding a miracle parking slot downtown, seeing the Telefutura fights at the ring apron last Friday, and getting some great shots of me 'n Jesus Chavez together, one that is being printed for my Christmas cards being mailed tomorrow. It's the little things that put us over the top. Thanks again Ron.
Exquisitely put Robert, and thank you.
Those Christmas cards sound pretty cool too.
So when is fightnews or some site going to do a big story and put Rons story out there and let the boxing world get to buzzing about it ?
Thanks Ice,
much appreciated. You were and are one tough fighter who went toe to toe with all of the great forces in that ring, and always came in on time and in shape.
The ultimate professional.
your buddy always,
Merry Christmas to You and all Your Family Mr Lipton
Lets hope that you can get that licence back Ron and do a job that you were among the best at. If it does happen old buddy. Just bite your tongue and don't step on their toes. Because remember a pat on the back never paid the rent.
PS Wish i had sometimes taken my own advice
Thanks Danny,
hope to see you one day, the first 10 drinks are on me mate.
merry x-mas. i was impressed with your comments on teddy atlas. out of respect for you i will have to take a better look at the guy. i have been tough on him in the past but if you have come to a different conclusion it merits a little slack in my mind.
scully has a hell of an idea about an article shedding more light on your struggle to ref again and getting more exposure. if you can get the earth to rumble a bit some of these birds will have to pull their heads out. hang tough.
thanks Greg,
always good to hear from you pal.
Teddy showed me he is a good guy and that's all that counts to me in this life.
My friend Brian Kenny thinks the world of him and Teddy does care about doing the right thing and helping people and it don't get better than that, as I feel the same way.
Merry Christmas Greg
Hi Ron,
That message about Atlas, etc., was written by a man of character. As always, you wear your heart on your sleeve, and thats what we all love about you. We know you will always be true to that heart.
Merry Christmas.
Your friend,
thanks Tim
coming from you that means a lot to my family, who just called me over to read this. A very healthy and happy Christmas to you too buddy.
When things are really rough, for all of us, the most powerful medicine for anything comes from friends caring. In Boxing, it is great to see this.
I call Emile Griffith when I want to feel better and listening to his happy voice, so full of love for everyone who talks to him, is such a happy thing for me. He is a guy who ended up with nothing, but is grateful for everything.
I spoke to him last night and he still sounds like he is 20 yrs old on the phone, laughing at my jokes. I am sending him a tape of when we sparred together and that made him happy talking about all the stuff I remember from the old gym.
Same thing with Chuvalo. I am glad he is doing well now and can make some good come out of all that tragedy. I watched his fight with Patterson from beginning to end last night before supper, slowing down the action and studying all the shots and moves.
He was something and he loves for me to call him and try out new jokes on him even at 1 in the morning. I just love boxing, and all the good guys, fans connected with it too.
thanks again Tim,
your buddy,
Hey Ron,
I just wanted to wish you and yours a merry, safe and blessed Christmas.
Your friend,
A Very Merry Christmas to you too,
and a special thank you for all the kind things from the heart you do for everyone.
The best to you and your family over the holidays. TIP
Thanks Dragnet and thanks for writing,
Please have a very Merry Christmas and healthy new year too.
I always love talking boxing with you.
Hi Ron,
I appreciate that coming from you! I wish you all the best in your search to get reinstated as a referee in New York.
Have a blessed day,
Someone on the Joe Louis thread questioned, if Louis' power would have been as effective, if he had to fight in 10 oz gloves instead of 6 oz. I wonder, Ron, if you could explain the difference between a punch from a 6 oz glove and the same punch from a 10 oz, since I myself have never taken a punch from either. I imagine, that the extra padding in a 10 oz glove would absorb some of the shock from the impact, but not that much, so the effect on the brain would be much the same, although the 6 oz glove probably can do more facial damage. Am I wrong? How much influence does the glove size have on the effect of a punch?
Hi Thor,
Thor being one of my favorite heros in Mythology.
His battles with Fenris, Loki etal enthralled me as a kid reading Norse Mythology.
I have seen some strange things in boxing as to puching power and gloves over the 47 years I have been close to boxing since I am 12 years old and watching everything like a hawk.
Joe Louis would have been a destroyer wearing 6 or 8 oz gloves with nothing whatsoever saving his victims to be provided by the additional padding or lack thereof.
There are several factors here which common sense dictates as impacting on this issue. All things being equal between two punchers in a hypothetical dream fight the way the hands are wrapped legally or illegally is more of a factor inside that damn glove.
Unless someone is pulling a Panama Lewis job on a poor Billy Collins in his fight with Jose Resto, the gloves matter just so much.
Like in the movie Gentleman Jim, Corbett played by Flynn says in his bout with Joe Chyonski, he can wear skin tight gloves or bring a baseball bat, I don't care, lets get the fight on.
The inspectors must see how the hands are wrapped adhering to the allowable amount of tape and gauze wraps. It is that in my opinion more than the gloves which impact more on a punch.
I was aghast at seeing what Tito Trinidad was allowed to tape his hands with in some fights. I mean damn it looked like 3 times the allowable amount allowed and it was like a loaded fist to me. That kind of tape job goes right through the glove.
The brands of gloves which have changed in their design dramatically over the years are varied to a degree as to their design and fit. But it is always who is wearing those gloves, that wins the fight.
More recently punchers have asked for certain gloves. The many boxing gloves available like Reyes, Grant, Ringside, G&S, Everlast, Spartan, Tuf-Wear, Cleto Reyes, Ultimate, Top Contender, are all good and for different reasons different fighters have their favorites.
My son Brett invented a device at my suggestion which we as terrible business men never got patented but still does not exist. We call it the complete fist. It enables a fighter to make a complete fist inside a boxing glove even with the attached thumb. It is his invention and the only one which ever satisfied me as a big puncher.
My power partly comes from my hand strength which people tell me has been very powerful in grip, and the hardness of my knuckles and how hard I can squeeze my fingers. Any boxing glove I ever wore EVER, negated my punching power by preventing this transfer of power.
Every time I put one on it never satisfies me and I punch the heavy bag bare handed for years which I do not recommend to anyone with a brain.
My hands are like an animal's paw. Joe Louis would make me look like the White Rock Fairy using an emory board on her nails while the breeze blows her wings among pixie dust.
#1 puncher of all time really. He needed no help from gloves.
Yet we must have a line here as to rules of taping, weight of gloves etc for the average guys boxing.
The positioning of the padding over the knuckles is a factor. Wearing shitty gloves that do not feel right would be like an arm wrestle which starts off with the guy bending your wrist half way to the mat.
Answer, ALWAYS, have real boxing men around that ring and in those dressing rooms to enforce the rules.
They don't though!
I showed the post to my son Brett,
who informs me we do have the patent pending.
We will see!
I saw one of the hardest hitters ever at 160 Hurricane Carter in his fight with Giardello. The gloves they wore looked like little mittens to me. Giardello ate it up like pac-man, and not once was he close to going down.
The referees of yore, were imported in a time machine form the Lions v The Chistians, like when Tony DeMarco got his brains splattered by Virgil Akins while the referee let him get damn near killed.
Today they stop it faster than a premature ejaculator.
Lighter gloves would suggest more facial damage, heavier water soaked gloves would have more of a concussive impact.
I've been blasted with them all. The worst is a taped hand, as in James the murdering psycho Butler blasting out poor Richie Grant after failing with gloves to dent him once.
Hi Ron
Thanks for your reply. Thor is my middle name. As a kid I hated it, but as I grew older and learned the background, I came to like it. The thunder god, I thought that was pretty cool.
I think the Resto - Collins fight illustrates your point. Even with the padding removed from his gloves Resto wasn't able to stop the brave Collins, but of course he did terrible damage to his face and eyes. I think we all remember the pictures of Collins after the fight with both eyes completely closed.
You mentioned that you watched Chuvalo vs. Patterson in slow motion (I often watch entire films in slow motion myself, just to analyze).
Would you be willing to share with us who you think deserved to win that fight? I haven't seen it but I've heard it was a very controversial decision.
Thanks for asking me.
Chuvalo who is one of my best friends and Floyd have both crossed my life path in impressive fashion.
Patterson who I worked a fight corner with in New Hampshire was the Chairman in charge who assigned me to do HBO fights with DeLahoya, Holyfield, Canizalez v Junior Jones, Roy Jones Jr and others was also a good friend at one time.
It was one of the best fights I have ever seen right up until this day. Man oh man those were the days in the Old Garden when they made real competitive matches that filled the house with screaming fans, Needicks hot dogs, orangeade, great souvenir fight programs and real good fight company at ringside at all times screaming and rooting for their fighter.
No other sport in the world is more exciting. I have seen people go to the great fights ringside the first time and get hooked like heroin on it. Just amazing really.
It was simply electifying in the days of Patterson, Chuvalo, Carter, Tiger, Griffith, et al.
Chuvalo has a good case for winning on some of the most helacious body shots you ever want to see, which caused Floyd to faint in the shower.
Later when Floyd told George about that Chuvalo said,
"Why couldn't you have fainted in the ring for me."
They laughed together about it in later years.
That night George came to do one thing in the famous words of Rowdy Roddy Piper in "They Live." He came to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and he had no bubble gum with him.
His meanness and ferocity were beautiful and he did not want to touch gloves before during or after the fight so high was his focus to destroy.
Another sub reference if you permit me is from Star Trek the old series where Mr. Spock is focused on mating with another Vulcan female, so he could not even hear people speak to him, so they said, "Spock was deep in the Plactau." thinking just of Vulcan pussy etc.
Well George my friend was deep in the Plactau that night and he was thinking of getting any trim.
Patterson was just awesome in his ability to withstand the punishment to head and body from such a powerhouse and he threw rocking bombs galore at Chuvalo's head and body too.
Everytime George got to him he came back like an Apache raid at dawn. Ali's commentary was a bit biased in favor of Patterson I felt, as George Chuvalo was really lacing in those body shots. They were definitely overlooked by the judges.
This is one time I have to say I must ride the middle of the fence as I have said to George I thought he shaded him, then watching the fight again, I can see how others thought Patterson's vicious combos took it.
Chuvalo made him fight, Lord did he make him fight.
I was at Ringside and bought my ticket the second the box office opened and they had so many comp tickets already meted out to bigwigs there was hardly anything TV side left.
The former Champs introduced that night was a scene out of boxing Valhala and still gives me chills.
Marciano loved George and Chuvalo despite all his losses in life, had me tell him no more than two weeks ago on the phone, that that particular night he was so bleseed by the presence of all the great champs seeing him do great, and greeting him in his corner, that he should always think of that night and cherish it because their eyes saw him do great work and he made them all exicited and happy at seeing a great fight.
He pondered my compliment for a silent four seconds, and said, you are right Ronnie, I was blessed.
All of them Marciano. Braddock, Louis, were there.
I love Boxing!
Only Ron could put it so eloquently.
Great fight, but I had Floyd winning in one of his best performances.
Perhaps that was Floyd's best fight.
Chuvalo jumped him from the get go and Patterson was made to fight for survival every second of every round.
I think Patterson's desperation won him the fight.
Both guys did everything right that particular night, and that fight was voted Fight of The Year by Ring Magazine.

Ninety-three percent of Virginia's public schools are fully accredited, according to numbers released Wednesday afternoon by the Virginia Department of Education.
According to the VDOE, 96 percent of elementary schools and 88 percent of middle schools are fully accredited for the 2012-13 school year. Accreditation is based on Standards of Learning (SOL) tests during the 2011-2012 school year.
The number of fully accredited high schools rose to 90 percent, up four percent from last school year.
All of Roanoke City Schools are accredited except for William Fleming High School. The school received "an accredited with warning" status.
School Superintendent Rita Bishop says the results made her very unhappy.
But, she believes in William Fleming, the students, and the team in place.
In the academic subjects, the standard is 70 percent. In math, Fleming had just 46 percent. While in social studies, it had 61.
The benchmarks for graduation is 80 percent and Fleming fell just short at 75 percent.
Both science and English were above the state benchmarks.
In fact, Bishop told me the numbers in science were the highest Fleming has ever received since SOL testing began
"This community, for it to be as strong as it needs to be, has to maintain very high expectations for everyone associated with Roanoke City Public Schools," Bishop said. "I don't make excuses and I don't accept excuses, but we're going to bring this school into the absolute bright light we should be in."
Archie Freeman has been made principal at Fleming. He previously worked at the school as assistant principal and most recently was a principal at Woodrow Wilson Middle.
Bishop says Freeman's team has what it takes to turn the school around.
Bishop said she believes in Fleming and believes next year's number will be a turn-around.
Two Montgomery County high schools are not fully accredited -- Eastern Montgomery High School and Christiansburg High School. Both of those schools are accredited with warning. Leaders at Eastern Montgomery and Christiansburg must now come up with and implement a plan to raise scores.
All Lynchburg City High Schools are fully accredited. However, three of its 16 schools did not reach that status. Heritage Elementary, Paul Laurence Dunbar Middle School, and Sandusky Middle all are accredited with warning.
According to a news release from Lynchburg City Schools Heritage, Dunbar, and Sandusky received the accredited with warning status in math after falling short of the 70 percent benchmark. All schools exceeded the mark in all other subject areas -- including English, history, and science. The school system says it has already put instructional programs in place to support schools.
The following school divisions in the WDBJ7 viewing area received full accreditation: Alleghany County, Appomattox County, Augusta County, Bath County, Bland County, Botetourt County, Craig County, Floyd County, Franklin County, Galax, Giles County, Halifax County, Henry County, Lexington, Martinsville, Nelson County, Patrick County, Pittsylvania County, Pulaski County, Radford, Roanoke County, Rockbridge County, Salem, Smyth County, Wythe County.

Here is the news release from the Virginia Department of Education:
Ninety-three percent of Virginia's 1,836 public schools are fully accredited and meeting all state standards for achievement in English, mathematics, history and science — and graduation, in the case of high schools — the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) announced today.
Ninety-six percent of Virginia's elementary schools and 88 percent of middle schools are fully accredited for the 2012-2013 school year, based on the performance of students on Standards of Learning (SOL) and other state assessments during 2011-2012.
The percentage of fully accredited high schools rose to 90 percent, compared with 86 percent last year when the Board of Education began including a "graduation and completion index" into the accountability formula for high schools, in addition to student achievement on state tests. The graduation and completion index system awards full credit for students who earn a board-recognized diploma and partial credit for students who earn GEDs and local credentials, as well as for students who are still enrolled and expected to return for a fifth year of high school. High schools must have a graduation and completion index of at least 85 for full accreditation.
The percentage of schools earning full accreditation for 2012-2013 is three points lower than the percentage that earned the highest rating for 2011-2012.
"This year's decrease in the percentage of schools meeting the fully accredited rating is attributed, in part, to results of the new college- and career-ready mathematics tests that were first introduced during 2011-2012," Superintendent of Public Instruction Patricia I. Wright said. "We can expect a similar impact next year when we see the results of schools implementing more rigorous standards and tests in English and science this school year."
"Even with three-year averaging, the board's move to more rigorous standards will continue to present accreditation challenges for many of the commonwealth's schools," said Board of Education President David M. Foster." We are confident, however, that over the long haul our graduates will be better prepared to succeed in college and the work place."

Seven of the 22 high schools accredited with warning had graduation and completion indices below this year's 81-point benchmark for provisional accreditation. Provisional accreditation will not be available after 2015-2016.
In addition to high school-exit data, the accreditation ratings announced today are based on the achievement of students on SOL assessments and approved substitute tests in English, mathematics, history and science administered during the fall of 2011 and the spring of 2012, or on overall achievement during the three most recent academic years. The results of tests administered in each subject area are combined to produce overall school passing percentages in English, mathematics, history and science. Three-year averaging of mathematics allowed 750 schools to earn the fully accredited status. Seventy-one schools did not achieve full accreditation due to mathematics only.

President Obama has asked Congress to approve a $60.4 billion emergency aid package to assist recovery efforts from Hurricane Sandy, which struck the Northeast in late October, left more than 130 dead and devastated coastal communities in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
Obama sent a letter to congressional leaders late Friday asking for a sum that by many accounts met and even exceeded expectations in the states most affected by Sandy. New York and New Jersey lawmakers on Capitol Hill voiced tepid support for the spending request, calling it "a very good start" — but others hailed the announcement, and some noted privately that they doubted any more aid was likely to come.

Official DGT Club President 2008-2016
"Lucky": 2012 McCartyBurst PRS DGT Moons (59/09 Neck Pickup)
"Lucy G": 2008 GoldTop/DarkBack PRS DGT Birds(57/08 Pickup)
"Lester": 2007 GoldTop/DarkBack Les Paul R0(59/09-57/08)
DGStoptail on the left.
On the right is a Willcutt DGT with a burly, swirly, one piece top. This one is a workhorse and sounds amazing! 11 ga. strings, tuned down a 1/2 step, plugged into the the Bad Cat Lynx, it sounds like... well, Grissom! FAT, greasy, chewy, nice sustain.
The one in the middle is a MEGSIII - a hybrid MEIII and DGStoptail. DGT neck, and controls.
Goldtop Private Stock? Winner!!!
My 3 DGTs... (sure love to get my hards on one of the Protos! :-)
Great taste, bluehugh2!
Woundtight/How would you describe the difference in tone between the stoptail vs tremolo DGT?
I de-modded my CU22 soapbar and made a factory spec setup.Im in love again.I very much believe now PRS guitars are perfect as they are.
The difference in tone between a DGT and these particular PS DGTs with a stoptail is very pronounced. The materials are different, I have narrowfields on the one guitar... The Pomegranate one sounds a little bit closer to an Artist V than a DGT, the ebony is pretty snappy. The other thing is that I have fairly light gauge strings on the stoptail guitars.
The burl Willcutt DGT has 11s on the bottom and tens on the top and it is tuned down a 1/2 step. I think the trem makes the guitar more resonant and fuller sounding. I love this guitar!
All things being the same, I think the trem and heavy strings make a huge impact on the tone. I need the trem in order to play with heavier strings. Along with the taller frets, It makes bending easier and I can still play pretty fast and with a certain amount of dexterity.
The stoptails are nice, but I would not venture over to a stoptail until I had a couple DGTs under my belt first...
I just picked up this bad boy and I have it strung with the heavy 11s on the bottom and 10s on top and I have it tuned to concert pitch. FAT sound!!
Beautiful guitar! I am seriously considering adding a DGT to the top of my list. Thanks for sharing your input.
I will never be without a DGT in my stable.
I have probably the most played DGT..well, at least the most worn. The guy who had it before me played 4 nights a week and held it really high so it rubbed the lower back edge something fierce. The cool thing is that he rubbed the top finish a lot too.. Still looks cool, but if you run your finger across the top you can feel the flames! I have talked to the PTC about doing a complete refinsh/repaint but I'm not sure if it's cost effective. Who am I kidding? Not sure I could be without this guitar for the 2 months it would take to do it! The other cool thing about this guitar is it feels 30yrs old because of all the playing. Love it..A DGT is the only guitar I would trade my 513 for.
"Just one more and then I promise, no more guitars honey!" - The phrase I say most to my wife
Really nice, love the ageing on there.
I don't think I ever posted up pics of my DGT (Artist Package Orange Fade goodness! <3), I need to snap some indoor pics as the colors are not nearly as bright, the yellows and oranges get a bit washed out since I took the photos at like high noon so the sun was directly overhead and SUPER bright, not exactly ideal lighting conditions!
Great top, the Brazzy board feels wonderful and honestly it's one of the best-sounding PRS I've ever picked up (and those who know how many PRS I've cycled through over the years know that's a pretty bold statement!). I had never played a DGT before I picked that one up, from that point on I understood what everyone was talking about! I think the DGT might be one of the best formulas for a PRS to date! The guitar just feels alive, resonant unplugged and plugged in the notes just sing! The DGT pickups are fantastic and I don't know if I just lucked out with the pieces of wood that were used in this build or if all DGTs are this good, but from all the folks who rave about the DGT being one of the best guitars they've played as well I don't think that's the case. So good!
I had been thinking about maybe spec'ing out a PS in a year or so when funds permit, I get the feeling it's likely going to end up being a DGT with a twist, I just don't want to change the formula too much because there's not much need to mess with perfection! Maybe a H-S-H DGT with a 5-way blade an a push-pull.... hmmmmm!
Simple Solana Burst. Picked this one for it's huge tone. About 8.3lbs. of pure awesomeness.
PRS DGT Solana Burst, PRS Paul's Dirty 100 #33, Gibson ES-333 w/PRS 59/09's, Ibanez S1520 w/P90's & a Kemper.

Not going back – One star because the software won't post your review with no stars. No way to make negative stars.
Went to this place this Sunday morning & will not go back.
Three of us sat down & ordered. Conversation was all but inmpossible because this place is so noisy & I am surprised they have any dishes left. Never have I heard such a crashing of crockery. It would appear that no employee knows how to put a stack of dishes down w/o slamming them.
But, on to the food. We ordered our food and when it came not one order (of 3) was satisfactory. One plate had cold eggs and toast, one plate of french toast was not warm and one plate of waffle & ham was also not warm. When we mentioned this to the waitress she tried very hard to explain that it wasn't her fault. She offered to take things back and wanted to know if it was OK to reheat the waffle. After explaining to her that one does not put a waffle in the microwave unless they wanted a soggy mess she indicated she would have them make a fresh one. We also indicated we would like to speak to the manager.
A few minutes later she brought the bacon that should have been with the french toast. Several minutes later she brought back the microwaved french toast that was still not hot. Several minutes later she brought back the ham that had been microwaved and was now tough & dry. A while after that she brought a waffle but had to be asked for syrup.
We saw her tell the manager that we wanted to speak to him but he would not come back to us & would not look at us.
We all ate some of our food, one section at a time, one person at a time, never with a whole order for any of us, never any two orders at the same time. Actually, none of it was right but we didn't want to send it back again 'cause who knew what or when we would get back.
About the time we were finally digusted & ready to leave, having eaten less than half the food that was eventually delivered the Mgr came over & simply told us he would take care of us but never allowed us to talk. One person tried to tell him what had happened but he interrupted, telling us he would take care of it.
Now we sat for awhile waiting for the waitress to come back with our check....she never did. We got up, thinking someone might see us & bring our check. No such luck. When we got to the front the mgr briskly informed us that he had "taken care" of our check and again interrupted us when we tried to talk to him about it. No one was being nasty, hostile or loud, he just couldn't take the time to hear what we had to say...I felt he didn't care.
After insisting that not charging us for our meal should be enough & turning his back on us, we left. Never to return.
This is not the way you treat customers. We could have written it off to a bad day in the kitchen except for the actions of this insensitive clod of a manager. He knew what he was doing was not right or polite but simply did not care. We got the impression that there were probably so many complaints that he wasn't interested in hearing any more or listening to anyone.
Any one who has worked in food service should know that you can not expect every patron to like the taste of every thing served to them but there is really no excuse for food that's supposed to be hot not being hot, food that's supposed to be cold to be cold. And no one should EVER walk away thinking management doesn't care. Listening is the Mgrs job & a mgr should know that there is more to customer satisfaction than comping a meal.
The place is convenient for me for business meals but that won't happen. The managment at any McDonalds or Wendy's knows what that Mgr doesn't & I suspect that a manager at a fast food chain who got caught doing what this one did would probably be fired. I presume he can get away with it because he is an owner or part owner, which just makes it worse.

Family restaurant – My family and I went to Vicki's when it first opened and we were pleased with the menu selection, service and location. We recently went back and were very disappointed. We were seated and then waited 15 minutes before I had to flag someone down to even give us water. Their excuse is that they didn't know where the server for that section was. Finally we ordered only to be told 10minutes after that one of our entrees was not available. The food quality was very poor, the menu was cut down considerably and the service was horrible. This is a great location and I hope they can restore it to the way it was.

Can two-time champion St. Johns defend, or will we see a new champion for 2009?
They will have a hard time defending their previous championships as usual considering what they and other rural public schools have to compete with each year. Just a slight hint to the AIA!!
Watched the Valley - Scottsdale Christian game.� A great game to watch.� Thought both teams played hard and have a lot of talent.� These two could very well meet again in the semis or final.� Saw that Round Valley beat Payson.� Sounds like they are for real.� Makes St. Johns loss to them at the end of the game look a little better.� I believe these three teams are the ones to beat at this time.� Northwest is tough - Benson is good and you can never count out Thatcher.� Any other thoughts?

This is that final message where I would tell you some vague snappy bullshit story about being missing in action or being otherwise occupied or whatever, but in all honesty I've just lost all interest in sharing any artistic endeavor. I do what I do to keep my head straight and although it must be said that the admiring comments of friends, peers and strangers have been heartwarming, I have no intention of ever actually getting anywhere with the stuff I draw. I have zero ambition for an artistic career in any form or style and frankly I'm sick of people criticising my current line of work as if I'm somehow "wasting" some sort of "incredible gift". Drawing has been my sole medicine for staying sane for as long as I can remember and frankly I wouldn't hesitate to give it up if I found some other way to fix the underlying problems. It is not a gift.

I really need the internet to work on my hackintosh!!
I have the Atheros AR8131 Ethernet controller on my laptop. I haven't been able to find any drivers for it.
Does anyone know if there are other, similar drivers that get this card to work, or if I have missed the actual ones?
PS: I updated to 10.6.4 and it still doesn't work.

We ordered this well-priced sectional for our new house. The color looks exactly like the picture, and the quality is excellent. Delivery was fast and professional; they assembled the sectional in our rec room which really was just a couple of bolts, then done. The couch was comfy from the beginning, but as we've continued to break it in, it's even more so. Sometimes we pull the ottoman up into the corner and make a perfect spot for my husband and I to snuggle and watch movies. It's awesome! Now that we've had this couch for a few months, we've definitely spilled food/beverage on it a couple times and it's so very easy to clean, it's wonderful. The fabric is exceptionally durable and seems to resist stains VERY well. I would recommend this sectional to anybody, definitely. It will be in our home for a very, very long time :-)
Like many of you, I was a bit apprehensive about purchasing such a large piece of furniture online without testing it and seeing it in person. Soooooo glad I did it! This piece is very nice, well made, extremely comfy (I'm tall), and the price was right! The white glove delivery service was fantastic! The two guys arrived timely, set up quickly, checked the product out, cleaned up, and left timely. Very impressed!
This couch exceeds all our expectations. Despite being a casual couch in styling, there is an elegance to it that just "dresses up" the family room. The dark chocolate base blends perfectly with the dark wood accent tables we purchased from Overstock a couple of years ago. The sofa is ample size for two large adults to spread out on and is very comfortable as well--not too soft and not too firm. The microsuede material keeps you warm and cozy and it gives a nice textured appearance and feel. This couch is an outstanding buy! The delivery team was also great--very careful and quick. We ordered the couch one weekend and had it delivered before the end of the week! Thanks, Overstock!
As I'm sure some others are too... I was very nervous about purchasing such a large and expensive item never having laid eyes, hands or rear-end on it. And being a first time Overstock customer only added to the suspense. All I had to go on was the 17 reviews at the time and all were 5 stars.This is an outstanding sectional for an awesome price! Everyone says it is so comfortable and looks way more expensive. I'm so glad I didn't buy a cheaply made, overpriced retail-store comparison. The delivery/assembly service was nice and they took all of the boxes/trash with them. Assembles very easily. Keep in mind that the chaise lounger is NOT reversible. The faux leather is very espresso/dark brown. The microsuede is very soft and feels of good quality. The cushion backs and seats are stitched to the couch and to each other, not removable. The only place to lose change is at the back of the seats.The tufting on the seats and ottoman add lots of style. I spend most of my time on the chaise lounger but any seat is comfortable. You don't 'sink' down in the cushions. The 3 seat couch is a bit more firm than the chaise lounger but still very comfortable. My girlfriend likes to butt the ottoman up to the lounger during movies, it's like a full/queen size bed! Or use it as another lounger on the other end of the couch. If you're interested in this sectional, go for it!
I couldn't be more happier with this purchase. It is exactly what I was hoping for. The Ottoman was damaged when the delivery guys brought it, but they took it away asap and my new one is being delivered soon. Its such a beautiful and comfortable sofa that I would def say this is the one if you are considering it, like I was. I read all the reviews, but seeing it in person, sold me!
Got my sectional sofa, and it is beautiful! No Assembly required, the white glove delivery is a must, so happy it came with it. Overall a good quality for the price I was surprized how soft is the microfiber suede, and the ottoman is a good size. I would recommend it to anyone. Im very pleased!
This couch is awesome. My husband and I had on our eye on it for weeks and it finally went on sale and we got the last one. It is one of our best purchases! The couch is SUPER comfy and looks great. We love that it is so durable so we can make it to accommodate any space we want. It has been an excellent addition to our home and we HIGHLY recommend!
After having this couch for about a year now, two of the three cushions on the couch have collapsed. I have no idea what happened to the springs, but the cushions are deformed and it hurts to sit on them. All this from light to normal use. Because the item is outside of the warranty, nothing can be done. Unless you like buying a ** sofa about every year, I would strongly stay away from this sofa. You've been warned.
This couch was great for the first year and a half. We started to notice springs poking out of it after that. As time went on the springs continued to poke through the couch. This caused all the cushions to collapse. The cushions do not have zippers, the whole couch is sewn closed. There is nothing that can be done to fix it. We also purchased the warranty from Overstock. After we put in a claim, the company came out to look at the couch and told us they would not be able to fix it. The warranty only covers the springs, but not the cushions. The man that came to the house said they have been seeing this problem with couches that are constructed this way. He said the springs are wrapped in fabric and as the fabric wears down it allows the springs to poke through to the cushions. The cushions break apart from being poked by the springs. Worthless couch and worthless warranty.
This product redefines depreciation. Within 3 months, the back cushions had torn away from the micro thin vinyl backing. It is not "stain-resistant". I have never experienced a piece of furniture of lesser quality. Overstock should be ashamed for marketing this mistruth. Overstock did refund a few XXXXXXX; ****

Hello all,
I upgraded and unlocked my iPhone 2G to OS 3.0 and since then seen bluetooth and wifi issues. The wifi doesn't see any networks at all. As I am on T-Mo network with no 3G band support from iPhone, I am a total dependent on WiFi.
When I go to the WiFi Networks in settings, I see "Choose a Network" and it tries to find a network but cannot. I don't see anything under that. I tried searching for networks in the same place where I used my 2.2 firmware both at home and office but looks like the phone doesn't see them at all.
The other issue was with my bluetooth headset. It was working great with my 2.2 firmware and once I upgraded to 3.0, it connects but nothing comes out of it.
I installed the firmware according to these instructions:
iClarified - iPhone - How to Unlock/Jailbreak Your iPhone 2G on OS 3.0 Using RedSn0w (Windows)
and I restored my iPhone with the backup that I took before installing 3.0 firmware. I reset the network connections, reset the phone itself but nothing solved my wifi problem. Anybody has similar issues? I decided to go back to 2.2 but before pulling the trigger, I thought I will post it here.
Any help is appreciated.

Goodness gracious Tanya those look awesome. I have heard of mud hen bars but never made them. Now that I see what they look like I have to make them. I can see why they didn't last for the bake sale.

I am SO going to try these!! but instead of flour I'm going to use beans. I recently tried beans (black) in a brownie recipe and it turned out phenomenal and healthy and I think this recipe would do really well with them as well! Thanks for the idea!
- April 4, 2011 at 12:42 AM
I wanted to let you know that I made these and my family loved them. My husband even looked through your blog to see what else he wanted me to make for him! He wants me to try the chicken lasagna and strawberry cheesecake next. I'll let you know how they turn out.
Keep them coming,

These bars are wonderful! I made them tonight for a Mom's Night Out and everyone loved them! Yum! Thanks!
- July 25, 2011 at 9:18 PM
I tried to make these tonight, but are they supposed to be a little gooey?!?! I made them and let them cook for 30 minutes and they seemed brown but when I cut them it was still gooey so I stuck it back in the oven? But the end part that I tasted before putting them back in the oven and it was good!
- September 11, 2011 at 8:06 PM
Wowza!! I tweaked the recipe a bit but the 1st time I followed it except added 1 more egg white and 1/2 c brown sugar. They are unbelievable. I made the cookie crust a little more substantial, increased the marshmallows along with the meringue. I need them to be more sturdy. We ate the whole pan in one sitting. : ) Thank you!!

It used to be said that Europe's Ryder Cup camraderie was developed through years of sharing dinners and hotels while hopscotching borders on the European Tour.
These days, they share a cul-de-sac – in Florida.
Graeme McDowell, Ian Poulter and Peter Hanson spent their final days of Ryder Cup preparation in the comforts of Orlando's Lake Nona community, where each owns a home. Justin Rose would have made it four, but he was busy competing in the Tour Championship.
"We're pretty much neighbors," said Rose, who finished second to Brandt Snedeker at East Lake.
"So from that aspect, what you lose playing on a tight-knit tour, you gain by actually pretty much living together. We see each other on weeks off, we practice a little bit together, so I think that helps bond the team."
All but Hanson are PGA Tour members; Hanson made 10 appearances on U.S. soil by virtue of his standing among the world's top 50.
"A lot of us play a lot of golf over here," said Hanson, who tied for third at the Masters and was seventh at the PGA Championship. "The key aspect is still to get the team spirit together even though we are flying in from different places."
When Europe's charter landed yesterday outside Chicago, captain Jose Maria Olazabal was accompanied by just three of his team members.
Maybe they should have scheduled a stopover at Orlando International.Jeff Shain covers golf for the Orlando Sentinel and Tribune Newspapers. Follow him on Twitter at @JeffShain, or reach him via email at email@example.com.

Doctors are working to learn more about bladder cancer, ways to prevent it, how to best treat it, and how to provide the best care to people diagnosed with this disease. The following areas of research may include new options for patients through clinical trials. Always talk with your doctor about the diagnostic and treatment options best for you.
Positron emission tomography (PET) scan. A PET scan is a way to create pictures of organs and tissues inside the body. A small amount of a radioactive substance is injected into a patient's body. This substance is absorbed mainly by organs and tissues that use the most energy. Because cancer tends to use energy actively, it absorbs more of the radioactive substance. A scanner then detects this substance to produce images of the inside of the body. For bladder cancer, ongoing research is indicating that a PET scan may help find bladder cancer that has spread better than a CT scan or MRI alone.
Laparoscopic cystectomy. As outlined in Treatment under Surgery, several studies are underway to find out whether laparoscopic bladder removal is as safe as the standard surgery and whether the cure rates are the same.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT). PDT may be useful to treat early stages of bladder cancer. During photodynamic therapy, a patient receives an injection of a nontoxic chemical that collects in the tumor for a few days. Then, the doctor focuses a special laser on the cancer, which changes the chemical in the tumor into a new chemical that can kill the tumor with very little harm to normal cells.
Molecular testing. Tests to identify changes to genes or proteins that could be a sign of bladder cancer may help predict a bladder cancer recurrence or predict which patients may need more aggressive treatment. DNA changes may also help predict prognosis for people with bladder cancer.
Targeted therapy. Targeted therapy is a treatment that targets the cancer's specific genes, proteins, or the tissue environment that contributes to cancer growth and survival. This type of treatment blocks the growth and spread of cancer cells while limiting damage to normal cells. Research is underway to determine how targeted therapy may be used to treat bladder cancer. For instance, a clinical trial is looking at combining targeted therapy with radiation therapy to help preserve bladder function.
New drugs and drug combinations. As described in the Treatment section, researchers are studying new drugs and new combinations of chemotherapy.
Supportive care. Clinical trials are underway to find a better way of reducing symptoms and side effects of current bladder cancer treatments in order to improve patients' comfort and quality of life.
Learn more about common statistical terms used in cancer research.
Looking for More About Current Research?
If you would like additional information about the latest areas of research regarding bladder cancer, explore these related items:
- To find clinical trials specific to your diagnosis, talk with your doctor or search online clinical trial databases now.
- Review research announced at recent scientific meetings.

This is an epic cinematic track in the style of Hans Zimmer, starting with large hybrid percussions (toms, taikos and some synth drums).
The song continues with cellos, violas, violins and brass playing some emotional chords, until everything stops and a solo cello starts along with spiccato cello till the final orchestral and choir crescendo.
Perfect for trailers, videogames, movies and every cinematic project.
Contact me via profile page for any editing to make it fit perfectly into your project, or just to share your work!

A broken arm may involve any of the three bones in your arm — the ulna, radius and humerus. One of the most common causes of a broken arm is falling onto an outstretched hand. If you think you or your child has sustained a broken arm, seek prompt medical attention. It's important to treat a broken arm as soon as possible for proper healing.
Treatment for a broken arm depends on the exact site and severity of the injury. A simple break may be treated with a sling, ice and rest. A more complicated broken arm may require surgery to realign the broken bone and to implant wires, plates, nails or screws into the broken bone to maintain proper alignment during healing.
Most people know right away if they break their arm, because there's often a loud snap or cracking sound.
The signs and symptoms of a broken arm include:
If you have enough pain in your arm that you can't use it normally, see a doctor right away. And do the same for your child. Delays in diagnosis and treatment of a broken arm can lead to poor healing.
Common causes of a broken arm include:
Certain medical conditions or physical activities can increase the risk of a broken arm.
Sports that may increase the risk of a broken arm include:
In older adults who have osteoporosis — a condition in which bones become thinner and more brittle — even a relatively minor fall can result in a broken arm.
The prognosis for most arm fractures is very good. But complications may include:
Depending on the severity of the break, your family doctor or the emergency room physician may recommend that you or your child be examined by an orthopedic surgeon.
You may want to write a list that includes:
For a broken arm, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Don't hesitate to ask any other questions that you may have.
During the physical exam, your doctor will inspect the affected area for tenderness, swelling, deformity or an open wound. He or she will probably want to see X-rays of the injury.
Your doctor is likely to ask you questions, including:
X-rays are taken to determine the extent of a fracture, pinpoint its exact location and determine the extent of injury to any adjacent joints. Occasionally, your doctor may also recommend a computerized tomography (CT) scan to obtain more-detailed images.
Treatment of a broken arm will vary, depending on the type of break. Fractures are classified into one or more of the following categories:
If you have a displaced fracture, your doctor may need to manipulate the pieces back into their proper positions — a process called reduction. Depending on the amount of pain and swelling you have, you may need a muscle relaxant, a sedative or even a general anesthetic before this procedure.
Restricting the movement of any broken bone is critical to healing. To do this, you may need to wear a splint, sling, brace or cast. The length of time needed depends on the severity of the injury, but can range from three to 10 weeks.
To reduce pain and inflammation, your doctor may recommend an over-the-counter pain reliever. If you're experiencing severe pain, you may need to take a prescription medication that contains a narcotic for a few days.
Rehabilitation begins soon after initial treatment. In most cases, it's important to begin some motion to minimize stiffness in your arm, hand and shoulder while you're still wearing your cast or sling. After your cast or sling is removed, your doctor may recommend additional rehabilitation exercises or physical therapy to restore muscle strength, joint motion and flexibility.
Surgery is required to stabilize some fractures. Fixation devices — such as wires, plates, nails or screws — may be needed to maintain proper position of your bones during healing. Complications are rare, but can include infection and lack of bone healing.
A broken arm usually happens in an unplanned, unexpected instant. Although it's impossible to foresee or prevent that instant, these basic tips may offer some protection.
