- Some liberals are calling for a reckoning with the Democratic Party's response to allegations of sexual misconduct and rape made against former President Bill Clinton.
- This comes as a national spotlight is shining on sexual assault and workplace sexual harassment following the bombshell allegations against powerful Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.
With a national spotlight shining on sexual assault and workplace sexual harassment following the bombshell allegations against powerful Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, Democrats and others on the left are beginning to reexamine their response to sexual assault and misconduct allegations against former President Bill Clinton.
Clinton, whose affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky nearly forced him from the presidency, had also been accused by three women — Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey, and Paula Jones — of sexual harassment or assault.
But the allegations, which include rape, were largely dismissed by Democrats, who benefited from the moral authority of prominent feminists who sided with Clinton, including Gloria Steinem, who minimized the president's misdeeds in a 1998 New York Times op-ed, calling them "gross, dumb, and reckless" passes at women.
Liberal thinkers call for a 'reckoning' with Clinton's alleged abuses
Prominent liberal commentators, including MSNBC host Chris Hayes and writer Michelle Goldberg, are now arguing that the allegations against Clinton deserved more scrutiny from Democrats.
"As gross and cynical and hypocritical [sic] as the right's 'what about Bill Clinton' stuff is, it's also true that Democrats and the center left are overdue for a real reckoning with the allegations against him," Hayes tweeted last week.
Goldberg argued that in order for the Democratic Party to hold on to its title as the party of feminism and civil rights, it needs to reckon with how it excused Clinton's behaviour.
"The Democratic Party needs to make its own reckoning of the way it protected Bill Clinton," Goldberg wrote in The New York Times. "The party was on the wrong side of history, and there are consequences for that … If Weinstein and Mark Halperin and Louis C.K. and all the rest can be held accountable, so can our former president and so can his party, which so many Americans so desperately need to rise again."
Matthew Yglesias, a co-founder of the left-leaning news site Vox, argued in a Wednesday column that Clinton's consensual affair with Lewinsky, which he described as an abuse of power, should have been enough to force the president to resign.
"The wrongdoing at issue was never just a private matter for the Clinton family; it was a high-profile exemplar of a widespread social problem: men's abuse of workplace power for sexual gain," Yglesias wrote. "That alone should have been enough to have pressured Clinton out of office."
Caitlin Flanagan, a writer and social critic, argued in a Monday piece in The Atlantic that "machine feminism" will no longer protect liberal men like Weinstein and Clinton because the left has — or should have — increasingly little tolerance for these kinds of abuses.
"The widespread liberal response to the sex-crime accusations against Bill Clinton found their natural consequence 20 years later in the behaviour of Harvey Weinstein: Stay loudly and publicly and extravagantly on the side of signal leftist causes and you can do what you want in the privacy of your offices and hotel rooms," Flanagan wrote.
"But the mood of the country has changed. We are in a time when old monuments are coming down and men are losing their careers over things they did to women a long time ago."
The allegations against Clinton
Juanita Broaddrick
Juanita Broaddrick has made the most serious allegations against Clinton, accusing him of raping her in 1978 while Clinton was Arkansas' Attorney General.
Broaddrick, then a 35-year-old nursing home administrator, met Clinton while he was attorney general of Arkansas and visited the nursing home at which she worked.
On another occasion after his visit to the nursing home, she planned to meet with him at a coffee shop in the hotel where she was staying while attending a nursing seminar in Little Rock.
Clinton asked to meet in her hotel room instead and after he arrived, and allegedly proceeded to violently rape her.
"There was no remorse," Broaddrick told BuzzFeed News last year. "He acted like it was an everyday occurrence. He was not the least bit apologetic. It was just unreal."
A friend of Broaddrick's said she found her and corroborated her story. Several others said Broaddrick told them about the rape at the time.
Kathleen Willey
Kathleen Willey alleged that Clinton kissed her, fondled her breasts, and forced her to touch his crotch during a meeting in the Oval Office in 1993, while Willey was a volunteer in the White House correspondence office.
Willey made her allegations public in 1998 and Clinton "emphatically" denied that the interaction was sexual, arguing that he hugged Willey and may have kissed her on the forehead.
Paula Jones
Former Arkansas state employee Paula Jones alleged that in 1991 she was escorted to Clinton's hotel room in Little Rock, Arkansas, where the then-governor propositioned her for sex and exposed his genitals to her. Jones made her allegations public in 1994 and sued Clinton for sexual harassment. A federal judge dismissed the lawsuit in 1998, on the grounds that Jones didn't prove harm, and Jones appealed it.
Clinton ultimately paid Jones $US850,000 as part of an out-of-court settlement agreement, but did not admit guilt or apologise to Jones.
Clinton's accusers supported Donald Trump in 2016
Broaddrick, Willey, and Jones all re-entered the national political conversation when they appeared at a press conference with then-presidential candidate Donald Trump in October 2016.
The women, who also attended a debate between Hillary Clinton and Trump, all said they supported Trump's candidacy and accused Hillary of being complicit in her husband's abuses.
Brushing aside allegations of sexual misconduct against Trump, as well as the recently released "Access Hollywood" tape in which Trump boasted about sexually assaulting women, Broaddrick argued that Hillary's complicity with her husband's alleged crimes should disqualify her from the presidency.
"Actions speak louder than words," Broaddrick, who alleges that Hillary attempted to "silence" her by thanking her for her support at a 1978 campaign rally, said at the news conference. "Mr. Trump may have said some bad words, but Bill Clinton raped me and Hillary Clinton threatened me."

Manchu shamanism
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Manchu Shamanism is a religion of Manchu people in China. Manchu shamans believe that all the spirits they sacrifice to are the original clans' spirits, and they practice ancestor veneration.[1] The shaman dances in a trance to cure the sick.[2] Manchu Shamanism has declined,[3] and many Manchus are now Buddhists.[4] There is Confucian influence on Manchus.[5] Manchus in Banner garrisons also worshiped the local deities of the Han people.

BOOK: When You Read This by Mary Adkins
"In the end it's not only everything we remember but what we don't, too. The moments that passed unobserved, not celebrated or noted, just lived."
When You Read This by Mary Adkins is surprisingly light-hearted for it being a novel about death. It's a cleverly put together book that pieces together the aftermath of Iris Massey's death from lung cancer at the age of only 33. Iris has left behind a series of blog posts that she wants her work bestie–Smith–to publish as a book. But Iris's cynical sister, Jade, has other plans and is not always the most friendly and/or cooperative player in the game. Both Smith and Jade have their own demons to battle and although they are at odds in terms of what to make of Iris's last wish, there is something beneath the surface drawing them closer together than they realize. Iris's humor and positivity in the face of a devastating diagnosis is admirable, and is no doubt a big reason why it's so hard for her family and friends to fill the void she has left behind.
I loved this novel so much. It is so organizationally unique, which kept me intrigued the whole time. The characters were so lovable and well-developed–I think we all have a Carl in our lives (the guy who is way too much, but somehow also the kind of great to have around). I have to give Mary Adkins so much credit for her creativity of her writing and organization. I admire any author that can put together such a coherent novel through blog posts, text messages, emails, etc., and Adkins made it look (and read) so easily. Each exchange, correspondence, and entry fit seamlessly into its place in the novel. The sprinkles of wit and humor were perfect and made this book such a delight to read. Also any book that makes reference to the Domino's pizza tracker is pretty much made for me. I'm in the process of compiling a summer reading recommendation list, and this one will definitely be on it. RATING: [4 out of 5 stars]
LOOK: Shorts – Sugar Love Boutique
Okay, can we please talk about how cute these shorts are?! So light and flowy for summer–I'm dying for warmer weather so I can wear them more and more! Thank you to the fabulous team of women at SugarLove for sending these shorts my way.

Jordan's Prime Minister Fayez al-Tarawneh has said that the United Nations needs to play a far greater role and needs to exert more pressure on the government of Syria if it is to help end continuing violence and armed conflict in the Middle Eastern state. Mr Al-Tarawneh, whose country borders Syria, made the statement on an official visit to the Czech Republic on Monday, where he met with Czech counterpart Petr Nečas. Violence in Syria has continued since January 2011. Peace envoy Kofi Annan is due to arrive in Russia where he will appeal to Moscow to put more pressure on Syria's leadership to begin political transition to end the conflict. Russia has strong ties with Syria and has, for example, vetoed calls for foreign intervention.
The Czech Export Bank provided 8.2 billion crowns, the equivalent of nearly 400 million US dollars, in unjustified loans, according to a review released on Monday by the country's supreme audit authority. The auditors found that around half of that sum was in fact provided in breach of Czech law, while more than 13 percent of the 143 billion crowns the bank gave out between 2005 and 2011 to support Czech exporters was sent to only two companies. One of the recipients paid over 40 percent of the sum to an off-shore firm which, the auditors said, cast serious doubt over whether the move can be considered support of Czech exports. Some of the loans were also given without being reviewed by the bank's supervisory board, the report said.
Even after one week, problems are continuing to plague the Transport Ministry's electronic vehicle registration system, news website idnes writes. According to the daily, software was updated over the weekend but not all wrinkles have been ironed out by far. Originally, the ministry promised the system would resume properly within a matter of days. Complications have prevented car owners from registering or deregistering their vehicles. In places on Monday, officials said the system was running but far from optimal, leading - for example - to long waiting periods. A crisis team at the ministry is meeting on Monday to discuss how to proceed next.
Experts are expected to conduct additional tests on Prague's Evropská Street, a section of which caved in recently creating a roughly five-metre deep crater. Frantíšek Polák, a spokesman for Metrostav (the firm overseeing tunneling below the avenue to extend the metro line) said the tests were intended to uncover other potential weak spots. Until now, some 200 metres of road had already been tested. Evropská Street had to be closed to traffic for several days after the cave-in, as workers poured concrete in the collapsed section. In past years, Metrostav suffered three cave-ins in connection not with the subway but in the construction of Blanka tunnel, also in the capital.
Police in Mostar in Bosina and Hercegovina have told Croatian daily
Slobodna Dalmacija they believe a young man who drowned after jumping from
Mostar's famous Stari most or Old Bridge was a Czech national from the
city of Brno. The tragedy took place on Sunday; a police search of the
river has not uncovered a body yet. A friend of the victim reportedly
jumped first and emerged from Neretva River unharmed. The Czech consul to
Bosnia and Hercegovina, Jana Stará, said that by all appearances the
drowned man in Mostar was Czech, but said she could not yet confirm it 100
At the weekend, another Czech national drowned in Vienna, also following a jump from a local bridge.
Czech police have shelved a case in Břeclav, South Moravia, in which a local teenager (who suffered serious injury in a fall) claimed he had been beaten up by Romanies. The boy, who fell off a landing and lost a kidney, admitted to police later that he had made up the story for fear he would be punished at home. The case file will now head to the state prosecutor's office, where it will be decided whether the minor will himself face legal action. The boy's original story fuelled marked anti-Roma sentiment in the town and led to hundreds of locals demonstrating in the streets. The mother later apologised for her son's actions; she also returned funds that had been donated to help the injured boy.
A Czech military plane on Monday will transport four Przewalski mares to Mongolia for reintroduction into the wild, part of Prague Zoo's ongoing Return of Wild Horses programme. Last year, three mares and one stallion were sent. Przewalski's horse, also known as the Dzungarian horse, is a rare and endangered subspecies native specifically to Mongolia. According to the Prague Zoo, which played a major role in saving the horse in the 20th century, there were 1,860 Przewalski horses around the world at the end of 2005. Of those, fewer than 300 still lived in the wild in Mongolian or Chinese nature reserves.
Czech scientists have participated in the sequencing of the banana genome in which researchers from seven countries took part and that will help comprehend the development of the fruit plant and it's grafting, the press department of the Czech Science Academy reported. The Czech scientists are Jaroslav Doležel and Eva Hřibová, from the CAV Experimental Botany Institute and the Hana Regional Centre for Biotechnological and Agricultural Research, the Czech news agency reported. The results of the research have been published by the international scientific journal Nature. Mr Doležel's lab has – according to the CAV – become an internationally acknowledged workplace into grain and banana genome research.
Ústí nad Labem's regional court on Monday, in an appeal, sentenced former Civic Democrat senator Alexandr Novák, convicted earlier of bribery, to four years in prison. In the original proceedings, the defendant received only a two-year suspended sentence. The case, in which Mr Novak accepted a bribe of 40 million crowns, dates back to 1999, when Chomůtov town hall sold shares of the Severočeská energetika and Severočeská plynarenská energy and gas companies to a German firm. On Monday, the court upheld a five-year ban excluding Mr Novák from public office and a five-million crown fine.
Prague's City Hall is planning on raising rents in city-owned apartments, with prices depending on their current condition (or technical state), Czech Radio's Regina reports. According to the station, apartment buildings with elevators, for example, or flats offering better views from their windows, could soon cost tenants more.


text: Planting for the future in Brazil Environment and climate changeFarming RESOURCESPUBLICATIONSFOOTSTEPSFOOTSTEPS 99PLANTING FOR THE FUTURE IN BRAZIL by Flávia Marques Amorim ACEV (Ação Evangélica – Evangelical Action) is a Tearfund partner working in the semi-arid region of north-east Brazil. Semi-arid regions are vulnerable to changing rainfall patterns, which can be caused by climate change. Photo: Marcus Perkins/Tearfund ACEV works with its partners to develop sustainable projects that encourage a healthy relationship with the environment. Its Planting Project works alongside its other projects on well-drilling and agroforestry. The wells provide vital drinking water in poor communities and the agroforestry work promotes environmental sustainability and reforestation. ACEV's Planting Project encourages organic farming methods. It helps families learn how to grow healthy, good-quality crops without the use of chemical pesticides or fertilisers. The project team support and guide families for six months, and an agricultural consultant provides advice. They work with farmers on issues such as water use and micro-irrigation; soil care and fertility; appropriate crops; crop rotation; and natural fertilisers and insecticides. They also encourage participants to set up farmer cooperatives. ACEV values education. Communities can join workshops on environmental issues, such as: disposing of rubbish sensitively valuing and protecting rare local plants and animals planting appropriate tree species such as neem and moringa, which cope well in semi-arid areas. At the end of these workshops, communities are asked to commit to good environmental practices. Over the three years of the project, ACEV staff have seen habits change in caring for the environment. José Ivonildo Fernandes worked with the Sítio Pinheira community in Manaíra. He notes: 'The area was first fenced. Then we planted crops like bananas, passion fruit and pigeon peas along the fence, which acted as windbreaks and could also provide food and an income. Another important step was to diversify the vegetables that were planted. The community now plants new vegetables such as beetroot, peppers, carrots, courgette and cabbage, as well as the lettuce and coriander they grew before. These crops are all produced organically with natural insecticides [Editor: see box for examples]. People used to burn scrub and crop remains, but now we compost it and mix it with animal manure to fertilise our land.' The Planting Project means that people have a reliable supply of healthy organic food. Because no chemicals are used, water quality is protected. Using minimum tillage protects the structure and fertility of the soil and reduces erosion. All these practices encourage local biodiversity and help protect the environment. Antonio Felix Florentino leads the cooperative in Sítio Pinheira. He comments: 'Today, with ACEV's help, I no longer need to leave Pinheira and work elsewhere for income. What has most impressed me about ACEV has been the encouragement and support they have given us to preserve nature and the environment. In the past, we did not care much, but now we want to preserve the land God has given us. 'This year there has been a terrible drought, but I thank God that we are now seeing the benefits of the Planting Project. I am sure that God has blessed us, and will continue to bless our lives and this place.' Flávia Marques Amorim is ACEV Social Programme Coordinator Website: www.acevbrasil.org.br Making natural insecticides Chilli Grind a cup of chillis (be very careful not to get any on your eyes or mouth), add 2 litres of water, stir well and allow it to settle. Drain off the liquid and add some soapy water to it. Spray onto crops. Tobacco Boil 2 handfuls of dry leaves or cigarette ends in 2 litres of water for 20 minutes. Add some soap, mix and cool. Dilute with 5 litres of cold water and spray onto crops. Neem Grind two handfuls of ripe neem fruit and mix well in 1 litre of water. Soak overnight, strain and use as a spray. Words used in this article Agroforestry means growing crops and trees together so that both benefit. Biodiversity means the variety of plant and animal life in an area. Minimum tillage means disturbing the soil as little as possible when planting seeds. This improves fertility, reduces soil erosion and retains water in the soil. Semi-arid describes a region that has low levels of rainfall, but is not a desert.

text: Last time Slumber Party were in town some meatheads in the audience started singing the words to "Vacation" by the Go-Go's to the dames' own songs. It was rude but not entirely off base--their songs are reminiscent of almost any simple pop tune. Yet Slumber Party bring a listless gravitas to the melodies that makes them sound more Nico than Lesley Gore. Onstage they look like porcelain dolls, have a hard time harmonizing (a shortcoming that can be charming in its earnestness), and use the least amount of energy necessary to play their instruments. The acid-washed cowgirl dirges on Psychedelicate (Kill Rock Stars) encapsulate the soft beauty of sadness without the puffy, red-eyed ugliness of misery, like The Virgin Suicides or a velvet painting of a doe-eyed waif. The cry-in-your-pillow vibe may seem like a poor fit for lead guitarist Gretchen Gonzales, who's played with Aaron Dilloway and John Olson (both of the belligerent savant-garde outfit Wolf Eyes) in the free-psych bands Universal Indians and Dr. Gretchen's Musical Weightlifting Program. On second or third listen, though, you notice that her strumming here (which she sometimes does with a rock) bleeds through with as much lush aggression as any of her previous playing. Anyone who has to at least wiggle a shoulder when listening to music will probably lose patience with Slumber Party pretty quick. But for those who find pleasure in fantasizing about quixotic romances with strangers and the inevitable painful breakups that follow, this is your night.

According to a report of leading daily newspaper of South Korea-Electronic Times, the tech giant Apple is soon going to use only OLED screens. At present, high-end phones like iPhone X, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XS, Google Pixel 3 XL, Huawei Mate 20 Pro, LG V40 ThinQ and a few more feature these screens. A glance at the pictures displayed on these iPhones proves beyond any doubt that OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) technology is capable of offering a rich display experience to cell phone users.
At present, the technology is quite expensive. Hence, it is finding its place only in high-end smartphones like iPhones, but the prospects for this young technology in the smartphone world are bright. So, let us explore the reasons.
Does not require a backlight
In the case of both LCD and LED technology used in smartphone displays, the displays use backlight for offering illumination to their pixels. However, screens powered by the OLED technology generate their own light through a controlled movement of electrons. Therefore, the new technology helps in experiencing high-contrast levels. Images are also thus razor-sharp with vivid colors with OLED technology.
Consumes low power
Nowadays, every smartphone user spends hours on texting, browsing, binge-watching, and more. So, sooner or later he or she has to follow some steps to save rapid drainage of the phone battery. The new technology enables smartphone displays to consume low power by drawing power only when it is in use. OLED displays are truly black when they are turned off.
Offers better viewing angles
The technology ushers in a new era in the smartphone world by offering better viewing angles that make the mobile experience more pleasant. OLED panels are relatively thinner than other panels which not only means smartphone display can be flexible rather than a traditional rigid one but also means that users can enjoy a video or image from a wide range of angles without losing out on contrast.
There are now several smartphone manufacturing companies who have embraced this technology for offering an improved mobile experience. Many wholesale suppliers of smartphone parts and accessories have OLED displays in their inventory to cater to the increasing demand of these displays.

Coffee is a majestic potion, wouldn't you agree? So much can be done with a sip of it, either by brightening your morning or keeping you inspired throughout the day. Wherever you are in the world, people come together to enjoy coffee; but every single culture has their own unique spin on coffee. Have you been trying to change things up a little? Then why not get some international influences to try with your daily cuppa!
1. France.
How do the French start their day? With cafe au lait, of course. The French version of cafe au lait (or coffee with milk) comes straight from a French coffee press with scalded milk (not frothed—this is not a cappuccino) in a wide diameter cup. Alongside is a baguette or croissants.
2. Turkey.
Known as "Turk Kahvesi," this coffee is brewed according to an old proverb: "As black as hell, as strong as death, and as sweet as love." Sounds intimidating, I know, but it is actually treated as a dessert instead of a morning energizer. It is usually served after dinner with some chewy candy and brewed in a copper pot and is absurdly hot. Perhaps the proverb should start off with "hotter than hell."
3. Greece.
The Greek have a well-known concoction, the frappe. The delicious iced drink is often made with instant coffee (though you could always use homemade cold brew coffee), cold water, sugar, and evaporated milk. When made in Greece, you will notice that they froth, shake, or blend the entire drink to produce a luscious foam.
4. Italy.
Getting a shot of caffeine in the morning has never been easier than the Italian way. Strongly brewed Italian espresso is poured into tiny cups. Drinkers knock back their highly concentrated morning brew before heading out the door. Or, if they have some time on their hands, they might stick around to drink the traditional morning cappuccino (or espresso with frothed milk).
5. Ethiopia.
In the northeastern reaches of Africa, you can find an ancient coffee preparation practice that stems throughout multiple ethnicities, like Ethiopian, Egyptian, Eritrean, and more. While there are some variations on African coffee ceremony, the fundamentals remain the same. Over the course of a couple of hours, the lady of the house brews up, filtering and pouring it repeatedly in front of the guests. After it has been filtered enough, she then pours the coffee into cups without pausing it. It is quite a sight to behold. Afterward, guests add butter and salt to their coffee and enjoy.
6. Saudi Arabia.
Since alcohol is illegal in Saudi Arabia for most people, caffeine is the addiction of choice. Saudi Arabian coffee is absurdly thick and bitter. So bitter is "kahwa" that when people drink it, they need to eat something sweet, like dates or candy, in between each sip. No one leaves the coffee drinking session until everyone has finished.
7. Vietnam.
The Vietnamese are the masters of cold brew coffee because it is made with their incredibly delicious and aromatic coffee beans. Dark roast is first percolated then poured over condensed milk. An ice cube is dropped in last. The finished product looks more like dessert in a shot glass, but it tastes like nirvana.
8. Mexico.
The country that brings us Aztec hot cocoa also has the delicious "cafe de olla." In Mexico, this is brewed in individual earthenware cups and infused with cinnamon sticks. The result is a drink that is fiery, delicious, and truly eye-opening.
The glory of coffee is universal. When you need a creative influence, well, more creative throughout your day, consider making your cup of coffee different from the day before. Mixing up routine is one way to bring about change, after all. If your day starts with coffee, there is no better way to get productive.

Cars and Cramdowns in Lafayette, IN
Cramdown your debt with Chapter 13
Do you know when your vehicle loan qualifies for a cramdown? Let's start with what precisely a "cramdown" is. While this term cannot be found in the federal Bankruptcy Code, it is still a relevant term. It's a procedure under Chapter 13 bankruptcy law for legally rewriting the loan. Why would you want to do this? Usually to decrease your monthly payment as well as the total you will end up paying for your vehicle. This will, in turn, reduce your interest rate while stretching the payments over a more extended period. By lowering your monthly amount, you will then save thousands of dollars on your car.
Qualifying for a Cramdown
- Your vehicle MUST be worth less than the balance on your loan.
- Cramdowns are only available under Chapter 13, not Chapter 7. If you are filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you will not qualify for a cramdown.
- Your car loan was entered into 910 days (roughly 2.5 years) before you filed Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
Getting a Vehicle Cramdown
The most critical part is qualification #3: the date when you entered into your car loan. When you go to see your bankruptcy attorney, bring your vehicle loan paperwork to see if you can qualify for this advantage. It might end up making a huge difference for you.
Here's an example:
Perhaps you purchased and financed your car exactly 900 days ago. New car cost: $21,500 (and you didn't get a good deal). Let's say that your previous vehicle died and you didn't feel that trying to save it was worth the exorbitant cost. However, you have to commute to work somehow. So you get a credit card cash advance of $500 to put as a down payment, and then you financed the vehicle as follows: $21,000 at 8% over five years. Therefore, your monthly payments are $425.
Now almost 2.5 years after the fact, you have paid $9,500 and still owe $11,500. If you decide that you wanted to hold onto your car, but you have filed either a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 case before the 910-day mark, you would have to keep up the payments as per the contract terms. This would amount to about $12,650 (or more depending).
Timing is Crucial to file Chapter 13
Let's imagine a world in which you had waited just ten more days to file that Chapter 13 case. Then you could (in theory), could qualify for a cramdown. You still owe $11,500, and your car is worth about $7,500. Your loan is said to be secured to the extent of that $7,500 and that remaining $4,000 of the credit isn't achieved. So the guaranteed portion of $7,500 would be paid through monthly payments under your Chapter 13 plan. That extra $4,000 unsecured portion is similar to your unsecured debts which are usually only paid if you have extra money to do so.
Under Chapter 13, you pay that $7,500 and your interest rate will often be lower than the price in your contract. Paying a reduced amount ($7,5000 instead of $11,500) at a lower interest rate will produce a lower monthly payment for you. This payment can be further reduced by extending your repayment term further than what your contract provided (up to a max of five years from the date of filing your Chapter 13 case).
If we were to assume in this example that the interest rate is 5% and the repayment term is five years, then your payment of $7,500 would be less than $142 a month! With interest, your remaining debts on your vehicle would be about $8,492 whereas you would've paid $12,650. You save $4,158!
Even though your payments on your vehicle would be about 2.5 years longer, you would still pay it at a lower interest rate (5% versus 8%). Imagine paying $7,500 instead of $11,500!
Compare Interest Rates:
|Normal Loan Payments
|Car Cramdown Under Chapter 13
|Interest Rate
|Cost of Car
|21,000 (with a $500 down payment)
|21,000 (with a $500 down payment)
|Money You Owe
|Interest To Pay
|Monthly Payments
So by being aware and waiting to file your Chapter 13 case until after the 910-day period, you could have reduced your monthly car from $425 to $142. Make sure you tell your bankruptcy attorney about any purchases you have made within the last 910 days. Attorney Brad Woolley is here to help! Call today and see how Chapter 13 bankruptcy can make your debt manageable.

A ripe, spicy and quite densely fruited nose speaks of a pretty mix of both red and blue Pinot fruit along with background hints of cassis. The restrained intense and strikingly well-detailed medium-bodied flavors possess an abundance of mouth coating extract that buffers the firm tannic spine on the impressively complex, long and exquisitely balanced finish. *Outstanding*
The Bearwallow bottling is made from purchased grapes and typically shows the slightly warmer aspect of Anderson Valley in comparison to the estate's own Santa Cruz Mountain vineyard bottlings. The 2009 is more black fruity than the Family Farm, as it offers up a complex and classy nose of black cherries, dark berries, a touch of fresh rosemary, dark chocolate, incipient notes of bonfire, soil and a touch of new oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, tangy and really beautifully structured this year, with a sappy core of fruit, ripe tannins and a very, very long, zesty finish. It seems like the style of the 2009 vintage dovetails perfectly with the terroir of Bearwallow, as this is a raging success. I would try to tuck it away for a few years in the cellar to allow its secondary layers to blossom, but it is already really a delicious glass of pinot! 93+
Bright ruby. Intriguingly perfumed bouquet of strawberry and raspberry, along with a high-pitched blood orange note and a seductive floral quality. Shows an array of sweet red fruit and spice flavors and a zesty mineral nuance that adds sharpness and definition. The finish leaves suave floral and spicecake notes behind, along with emphatically juicy red fruits and a hint of cola. (ST)
The 2009 Pinot Noir Bearwallow Vineyard offers up sweet red cherries, flowers, berries and mint in a relatively mid-weight, focused style for this winery. Clean, saline notes give the wine much of its energy and focus. It is a tight, inward wine in need of at least a few years of cellaring. (AG)

Although dogs are a huge commitment and big responsibility, they can change your life for the better. When I first got Ego, I was finishing my first year of college and still very unsure of what I wanted to do with my life. I wasn't interested in the outdoors.
Fortunately, Ego opened my eyes to all I had been missing by not hiking and camping. In 2018, the two of us hiked in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, completing 27 of the 40 mountains in the range. We went on a major road trip and camped most of the way. And we had more meals outside in the fresh air than I had the rest of my life, combined.
Put simply, I learned a lot—not only about big, existential things, but also about camping and hiking with dogs. Here are some highlights.
Gear Matters
I started with a backpack I found on Amazon.com that left my shoulders bruised and sore. After upgrading to a pack that distributed the weight on my hips and shoulders more evenly, my appreciation for quality gear exploded.
This also applies to dog gear. Dogs should only carry 25% of their body weight maximum and starting out should only carry 10-15% of their body weight.
In addition to a well-fitting pack, here are other pieces of gear that are important for your outdoorsy pup:
- A well-fitting dog pack that sits comfortably on your dog's shoulders and has removable bags. I use the Ruffwear Palisades Pack.
- First-aid kit. You wouldn't go backpacking without a first aid kit for yourself—your dog deserves the same. Some companies like Kurgo sell dog-specific kits, but you can also get most of the materials you need from your local pharmacy.
- Paw-protecting boots. Dogs have sensitive paws and ice, snow, or rocky terrain can cut their paws. When the ground is cold or rocky, boots help protect Ego's pads. If he gets a cut on his foot, the boot can protect his injured foot while allowing him to walk so I don't need to carry him.
- Car harness. Ego and I put in the miles on the road. Last year we took a 5,000-mile road trip from coast to coast. I strapped him in with a car harness to ensure he would be safe in case of an accident.
- Sleeping bag. Seriously. Even in the summer nights can get cold. Ego loves his bag.
Know the Rules Before You Go
Last year, Ego and I started our epic road trip spending a summer in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Then we headed west. We stopped in Badlands National Park and Custer State Park in South Dakota.
Most national parks only allow dogs in front country campsites and on paved roads. Some lesser known national parks that allow dogs on select trails include Maine's Acadia, Colorado's Great Sand Dunes, and Arizona's Grand Canyon national parks. Check the regulations before you head out so you and your dog know exactly what to expect.
Often national parks are adjacent to or near national forests, where dogs are almost always allowed, often off-leash. While in northwest Wyoming's Tetons, we viewed wildlife from the road in Grand Teton National Park and got our exercise on the nearby Bridger-Teton National Forest.
Have a Routine, Keep your Dog Close
During our trip we either slept in the car or in a tent. One benefit to traveling with a dog is that you have a built in security system. I was constantly asked if I was afraid sleeping out with wildlife, but 99% of animals will stay away when you have a dog with you.
Keep Your Dog Fed and Hydrated
This sounds obvious, but it's important to make plenty of stops and to repeatedly offer your dog food and water. Bring the food you regularly give them, and have dedicated water and food bowls so your dog is used to them.
Although life on the road is adventurous, it was extremely satisfying to reach our destination. Standing in the Pacific Ocean watching Ego chase the waves felt like something straight out of a nature documentary.
Go For It
Last summer's trip was just one of many more to come; without Ego I never would have had the desire to take on such an adventure. The moral of this story is that every adventure is better with a dog in it!

By SAT News Desk
MELBOURNE, 18 September: One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has claimed credit for a government probe into the "a wide-ranging inquiry into the family law system. The Joint Parliamentary Committee of both the House and the Senate will be led by Hon Kevin Andrews MP and has to deliver its report by 7 October 2019.
A report in the online Guardian Australia says Pauline denies this as a "bargaining chip" in Senate negotiations but says "she had pushed the Coalition on the matter since 2016, and had recently made the appeal directly to Morrison."
PM Morrison says, "We want to ensure families can resolve issues as quickly and fairly as possible, so everyone can move on with their lives," the Prime Minister said.
"This inquiry will allow the Parliament to hear directly from families and listen to them as they give their accounts of how the family law system has been impacting them and how it interacts with the child support system.
"This is a serious issue that has been raised by Members and Senators across the Parliament and I look forward to the Parliament working together through this Committee to bring forward recommendations that look at how the system can be improved."
The Guardian Australia report says, "While saying she did not believe the system was "rigged" against men, Hanson has advocated for changes that would give fathers more rights in custody battles, and has pointed to the high rates of male suicide as one of her motivations for the push.
"I think that a lot of fathers feel they are not getting a fair go and that is a shame, everyone has a right to a fair go," she said.
Attorney-General and Minister for Industrial Relations the Hon Christian Porter MP said the Select Committee's focus would be on specific areas where there may be scope for improvement in the family law system, the courts or other policy areas such as child support.
It will also look at how the family law system, state, and territory child protection systems and family and domestic violence jurisdictions can communicate better.

On using wireless power transfer to increase the max flow of rechargeable wireless sensor networks
Publication Details
T. He, K. Chin & S. Soh, "On using wireless power transfer to increase the max flow of rechargeable wireless sensor networks," in Intelligent Sensors, Sensor Networks and Information Processing (ISSNIP), 2015 IEEE Tenth International Conference on, 2015, pp. 1-6.
A key problem in Rechargeable Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is determining the maximum amount of data that can be collected by a sink over a given time period. This maximum is constrained by link capacity and critically, by the available energy at each node. In this paper, we consider a novel approach to increase the maximum flow rate by exploiting recent advances in Wireless Power Transfer (WPT). Specifically, we deploy a finite number of WPT capable rovers next to bottleneck sensor nodes with the aim to increase the max flow rate of a WSN. We formulate a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) to determine the routing and the set of sensor nodes that are to be 'upgraded' in order to achieve the maximum flow rate. We also outline a novel heuristic, called Path, to place rovers in large scale WSNs. Our results show it is able to attain on average 85.9% of the optimal flow rate.

Fate of Honolulu Rail Project Up in the Air
HONOLULU (CN) – A federal judge on Wednesday heard arguments on a challenge to Honolulu's controversial High-Capacity Transit Corridor Project, a 20-mile elevated rail line that environmentalists and a small-business coalition say will spoil views and despoil protected cultural land.
Ninth Circuit Judge A. Wallace Tashima is sitting in on the case, after all nine judges in Hawaii recused themselves due to possible conflict of interest. In a packed courtroom, Tashima heard arguments from counsel for the defendant Federal Transportation Administration and City and County of Honolulu, and from lawyers for eight plaintiffs, led by HonoluluTraffic.com, the Small Business Hawaii Entrepreneurial Education Foundation and former Gov. Benjamin Cayetano.
Tashima himself requested the 90-minute hearing, after the defendants sought partial judgment.
Tashima called the motion "possibly premature," said, "It will not make the case go away," and indicated that he would rule on it soon.
Nicholas Yost, Matthew Adams and Michael Green represented the plaintiffs. Assistant U. S. Attorney Harry Yee and Robert Thornton represented the FTA, Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood and the City and County of Honolulu.
The $5.3 billion rail project is planned as a 20-mile-long, elevated mass transit system to connect Honolulu's densely populated historic and business districts to Kapolei, a growing suburban area in western Oahu. Other portions are planned to extend to the tourist area of Waikiki and elsewhere on the 30-mile-wide island.
Opponents claim the city and the FTA exceeded their jurisdiction and violated environmental law by failing to consider any more than two of 75 potential alignments, by selecting steel-on-steel technology, and by failing to conduct legally required historic preservation surveys.
They claim the 4-story-high rail line will be an eyesore, will take land from parks and schools and is bound to unearth Native Hawaiian human remains buried along the route.
One reason for the recusal of local judges is that a downtown section of the project would come within 45 feet of their chambers in the courthouse, which plaintiffs claim would make the building vulnerable to a terrorist attack.
State funding for the project is partially secured and piggybacked by $1.5 billion in federal money, set aside and expected by the end of 2012. Infrastructure for the rail is already being put in place, including utility line relocations.
The defendants say this preliminary work is focused on the western portion of the island, in the town of Kapolei. Work, if permitted, is expected to be limited to Kapolie throughout 2012. It is expected to be at least a year until work begins in the historic downtown that is of primary concern to the plaintiffs.
Tashima opened the hearing by saying he intended to render a decision on the case, which was filed in May, as soon as possible.
He said the case rested solely on whether all parties had exhausted the lengthy procedures under the Administrative Procedure Act.
Despite the 6 months that have elapsed since the lawsuit was filed, the FTA has made available only about 75 percent of its administrative record, which it estimates contains 500,000 documents.
The plaintiffs have requested it numerous times. In a Nov. 18 Joint Case Management Statement, the defendants said: "The Project approved by defendant Federal Transit Administration and challenged in this lawsuit is the product of many years of environmental and engineering studies conducted pursuant to the federal and state law. As a result, the administrative record in this matter is voluminous."
But the FTA claims that four plaintiffs lack standing, as they have failed to prove they participated publicly and meaningfully in the 5-year scoping, planning and review process leading up to the final environmental impact statement (EIS) and the January record of decision on the project.
Former Gov. Cayetano wrote three opinion pieces about the project, which were published in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. But the defendants said they could not confirm receipt of those documents.
Defendants' attorney Thornton said: "If they thought it was important enough to bring a lawsuit, it should've been important enough for them to participate in the administrative process," but that the plaintiffs at issue did not comment on the environmental impact statement, or attend meetings or write letters.
The plaintiffs said that without full inspection of the administrative record, only a preliminary injunction could stop what is certain to be more than "a shovel's worth" of work.
They claimed that a project whose scope is greater than any yet undertaken in Hawaii could not be stopped once it is started. Not only would it be difficult to select alternative technologies and materials, it would be impossible to revert to any of the previously proposed alignments, or consider bus upgrades and light rail alternatives.
The defendants want no interruptions in the planned construction schedule, with construction to begin in February 2012. The plaintiffs said in the Joint Case Management Statement: "(I)f defendants (1) cannot finalize the administrative record so as to permit resolution of case by February 2012 and (2) refuse to adjust the construction schedule for the project, plaintiffs anticipate that it will be necessary for them to seek preliminary injunctive relief."
Tashima sought clarification on technicalities of environmental law, particularly "Section 4F" properties, which, under the National Environmental Policy Act and National Historic Preservation Act, require the FTA to make findings and "constructive use" of properties according to stringent guidelines, especially when that use is so severe that the function is affected.
There are numerous Section 4F properties along the rail route.
The defense claimed that the plaintiffs' burden for site-by-site critique of use should be stringent, unarbitrary and consistent with the U.S. Supreme Court's Vermont Yankee and Public Citizen cases and the 9th Circuit's Great Basin Minewash rulings. Just because some historic sites might be affected, umbrella claims cannot be made or the entire project derailed, the defendants said.
Since the initial filing, the defendants have called the plaintiffs' claims "vague" and "unactionable," and on Wednesday called them "cryptic."
Plaintiffs' attorney Yost denied that: "This is a case that revolves around alternatives," he said, and public comments on in the draft EIS were limited to what the defendants narrowly presented.
Yost said that under the stringent Section 4F property-use requirements, if there is a prudent and reasonable alternative, it must be chosen, and all possible litigation must be applied.
Neither party argues that 32 historic, waterfront and park sites will be affected.
Tashima asked both parties to come up with a schedule for hearings, which he said he would prefer in San Francisco or Pasadena. But he said that any motion for preliminary injunction or summary judgment should come in Honolulu.
He said the FTA must produce the administrative record, because the case cannot proceed without it, and it must do so by January, before the February groundbreaking.
He said the plaintiffs must provide evidence of their standing, narrow certain claims and verify their participation in the public discourse process during the time the FTA and city were preparing the EIS and taking public comment.
He urged both parties to be open to mediation, asking: "Do you think you could ever compromise?"
Tashima said he hopes to render a decision no later than the summer or fall of 2012.
"I think it is obviously important that this case be decided on as timely a basis as possible," Tashima said. "I would like to avoid, for instance, having to decide a motion for preliminary injunction."

New Cross Hospital building material fails fire test
- Published
Building material from an inpatient unit at a Midlands hospital has failed a combustibility test following the Grenfell Tower fire.
A sample from the Heart and Lung Centre at New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton failed a test, the trust said.
The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust said it was working with the fire service.
Samples that failed tests from five other providers were from buildings that did not house patients overnight, NHS Improvement said.
All NHS trusts and foundation trusts were asked to carry out urgent fire safety checks after the Grenfell Tower fire.
NHS Improvements said six NHS organisations had submitted building material samples found to be aluminium composite material [ACM] and subsequently failed a combustibility test.
NHS Improvement said after discussions involving the fire service, it "has been decided it is safest and most appropriate to continue to treat patients" in the Wolverhampton unit.
It added measures being taken included 24/7 fire warden patrols, changes to some fire safety procedures, increased security and raising staff awareness.
The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust chief executive David Loughton said after the sample failed the test, it had "since been inspected twice by local fire safety inspectors" who were "satisfied" with precautions the trust was taking.
He added: "There are high standards of general fire precautions in the Heart and Lung Centre, well trained staff available 24-hours-a-day and other security measures in place.
"We are also working with the fire service and NHS Improvement on additional measures, including enhanced fire warden patrols, keeping vehicles at least 6m away from the premises, increased security and staff awareness and a slight amendment to evacuation procedures."
NHS Improvement had previously announced samples from five NHS providers had failed ACM combustibility tests.
They were King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust, Newcastle upon Tyne NHS Foundation Trust, North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust and University College Hospitals London NHS Foundation Trust.

The sender shows as "Williams Disi" <email@example.com>, although that address was probably spoofed. We recommend that you do not attempt to contact any persons or organizations referenced in this email, or follow any URLs as you may expose yourself to scammers and, at the very least, you will be added to their email address lists for spam purposes.
Mr.Williams Disi Jr. Lagos-Nigeria. Reply to:firstname.lastname@example.com ATTN:THE MANAGING DIRECTOR. Dear Sir/madam, I know this will come to you as a surprise but never mind, I got your contact in my search for a reputable and trust worthy person/Company, who can stand confidently with me in this successful business arrangement. Before I proceed, I will like to introduce my humble self to you. I am, the Auditor General of a Government Accredited Oil Company here in Nigeria. Certainly, the prompting of this letter to you is anchored on my strong desire to solicit your sincere understanding and co-operation in this transaction that would certainly boost the financial stand of both parties involved when completed. As a matter of fact, We want to transfer to overseas (US$ 152,000.000.00 USD) One hundred and Fifty two million United States Dollars) from the Oil company's operating Bank account here in Africa, I want you to quietly look for a reliable and honest person who will be capable and fit to provide either an existing bank account or to set up a new Bank A/C immediately to receive this money, even an empty account can serve to receive this money, as long as you will remain honest to me till the end of this important transaction, trusting in you and believing in God that you will never let me down either now or in the near future. In all honesty, during the course of our auditing I discovered a floating fund of the above mentioned amount in account opened with the bank in 1990 and since then, nobody has operated on this account again, after going through some old files in the records I discovered that the money in the account was mapped out for the refurbishment of the Oil Company's Machineries. Meanwhile, Mr. Magnus Leon,the President of the Oil Company was the only signatory to the account,but unfortunately he died after a brief illness in 1993. And no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it, and the account has no other beneficiary. And my investigation proved to me that Mr. Magnus Leon, until his death had wanted to siphoned that money into his personal account in New York hence he did not disclose the operating devises of the account to the Board of Trustees. I am only contacting you in this regard, based on the fact that you are a foreigner because, this money can only be approved to any foreigner who can present all documents that will prove that he/she is the Next of Kin/Beneficiary to the account base on the fact that Mr. Magnus Leon the owner of this account is a foreigner, and the money can only be approved into a foreign bank account. Therefore, if you are capable of handling this transaction with me, lets make the necessary arrangement for the hitch-free transfer of this money to any safe bank account that you may nominate, on a share percentage bases. We will start the first transfer with Fifty Two Million USD [$52,000.000] upon the successful actualization of the first transfer, without any disappointment from your side; we shall re- apply for the payment of the remaining amount, to your account. However, we shall sign a binding agreement, to bind us together as partners in this regard. I am revealing this to you with believe in God that you will never let me down in this business, you are the first and the only person that I am contacting for this business, so please reply urgently and indicate your sincere interest, so that I can inform you on the modalities already mapped out for the hitch-free transfer of the money out of Africa here. I will require your direct phone and fax number for easy contacting you I need your full co-operation to make this work adequately. Upon your positive response and once I am convinced that you are capable and Willing to meet up with the instructions of the top bank official that is deeply involved with me in this business, I shall commence actions immediately to process the payment of the money in your favor as the beneficiary. With my influence and the position of the bank official we can transfer this money to any reliable foreign bank account, which you can provide. I am looking forward in anticipation to hearing from you soon as possible. Yours truly, Mr Williams Disi Jr


text: Labor unions have reacted angrily to layoff plans unveiled by the management of the German conglomerate, which aims to cut costs in its energy business to adjust to the disruption sweeping through the industry, DW reported. Following closed-door talks with workers on Thursday, the Munich-based industrial group announced that it was planning to cut 6,900 jobs globally as part of a larger restructuring of its power division. About half of the announced job cuts would be in Germany, where the company said it planned to shut down facilities in the cities of Gorlitz and Leipzig. A third production site in the town of Erfurt could be sold off, it added. "The power generation industry is experiencing disruption of unprecedented scope and speed," managing board member Lisa Davis said in a statement, adding that renewable energy was putting other forms of power generation "under increasing pressure".

Room air filters allow you to localize your air cleaning. Having home room air filters allows flexibility in where your allergy or asthma sufferer spends time. Having office room air filters makes it easier for smokers and non-smokers to work in the same space. If indoor air quality is important to you, consider something bigger than a room air filter, but cleaning the air in one room is better than nothing.
All around you there are tiny particulates. These particulates may be dust, pet dander, pollen, mold spores, bacteria, viruses, or other allergens. While this may seem impossible because the air in front of you looks clean, some of these particulates are 1/300th the width of a strand of hair. This means that while they are not visible to the eye, they are there and you are breathing them in. Gross, isn't it?
No wonder the incidence of allergies, asthma, and other breathing problems is continuing to rise each year. What can you do about it? Home room air filters are one way that you can help to remove some of the particulates from the air that you breathe.
Room air filters vary in their effectiveness. Learning about the many different kinds of room air filters will help you to make an informed decision. Choosing a home room air filter depends upon several factors, including your needs, your air quality, and your budget. Although every company claims that their home room air filters are the best, their claims may be misleading so it is important to choose your room air filter based on your own needs.
Some of the many technologies that are available in room air filters include electrostatic air filters, HEPA air filters, and the use of pre-filters. Electrostatic air filters are electrically charged to draw particulates into the filter where they are trapped or to cause the particulates to become heavy so that they will not travel through the air. These air filters need to be changed frequently so that they will work efficiently.
HEPA room air filters are considered the best by many air quality experts. To be considered a true HEPA air filter, the filter has to be able to remove 99.97% of the particulates that come into contact with the filter. HEPA filters have been used for years in hospitals or other areas that need to stay clean. Beware of companies that claim to have a "HEPA type" filter. This does not mean that they are as efficient as a true HEPA air filter is and they may only be 50%-80% efficient versus 99.97%. If you have allergies, asthma, or another health condition, then you will want to find a room air filter that is a true HEPA filter.
Pre-filters are one way that can help keep your air cleaner. This pre-filter (usually a HEPA air filter) works with another air filter to help remove gases and odors from the air. This is especially helpful in a home where family members smoke to help you get the maximum amount of smoke out of the air that you breathe. Second-hand smoke has been found to be just as dangerous to people who do not smoke and this filter can help remove some of the smoke from the air.
Be sure you choose the right size room air filters for your air cleaning system. With a little planning and forethought, you will be on your way to having cleaner air in no time.

Types Of Bursitis by Nathan Wei
By Nathan Wei
In a previous article I discussed what bursitis is and why it develops. In this article I'll talk about some of the more common types of arthritis. Let's start from the top and work down.
In the shoulder there is a large bursa called the subdeltoid bursa. This sits underneath the deltoid muscle which lies on the side of the upper arm at the shoulder. This is also called the subacromial bursa. Bursitis in this area presents with aching soreness in the shoulder that is aggravated by movement. Pain is present at night also. Overactivity is the usual cause and it's common for rotator cuff tendonitis to coexist with this type of bursitis.
The olecrenon bursa is located at the tip of the elbow. Bursitis can develop as a a result of excessive pressure (eg., leaning on the elbow on a hard surface) or after significant trauma. One complication of this type of bursitis is that it can be become infected. The usual organism associated with septic bursitis is staph aureus. The treatment for septic bursitis is to drain the affected bursa and treat with antibiotics. Oral antibiotics usually work but intravenous antibiotics are sometimes needed.
The hip is an area where a number of different types of bursitis can occur. Prolonged sitting on a hard surface leads to ischiogluteal bursitis. This is a nagging type of bursitis located in the buttock region.
Iliopectineal bursitis is located in the groin area and is aggravated by walking, running, and going up stairs.
Trochanteric bursitis is located at the outside of the hip. This type of bursitis often occurs in overweight people and is aggravated by walking, going up stairs, and lying on the affected side.
Gluteus medius bursitis looks a lot like trochanteric bursitis. The location is usually a bit posterior to the trochanteric bursa.
Bursitis in the knee can be located either in front of the patella (prepatellar bursitis) or just below the knee along the inside of the upper part of the lower leg bone (tibia). This is called anserine bursitis. Prepatellar bursitis, as is the case with olecrenon bursitis, can become septic.
Bursitis in the ankle can occur at the back of the heel beneath the Achilles tendon. Usually overactivity such as running too much can cause this type of bursitis. Rest, ice, and sometimes anti-inflammatory drugs are useful. Steroid injections should be used with great caution in this area because of the possibility of weakening the Achilles tendon. This situation can lead to rupture of the tendon.
Bursitis occurring at the base of the fifth toe is called a bunionette and bursitis opccurring at the side of the large toe is called a bunion. Osteoarthritis is the usual underlying cause of the bursitis. Special padding and injections of glucocorticoids are helpful treatments.
Patients with inflammatory diseases such as gout or rheumatoid arthritis can also develop bursitis. Any patient with recurrent bursitis should be evaluated for an underlying condition that may be predisposing them to getting bursitis.
The diagnosis of bursitis and the treatment is not an easy one. A well-qualified rheumatologist or orthopedist should be consulted. If injection is required, ultrasound needle guidance is recommended.
