I recently went public with my intense desire to own a working wood cook stove. A few friends — having long ago accepted my quirks without question — started hunting on my behalf.
Their work paid off. Last Wednesday, I got a lead on a nice stove in Tunbridge for sale at a good price. By the time I contacted the seller, however, two other people had already made plans to look at it. My hopes were dashed. (On the bright side, apparently I'm not the only weirdo in Vermont.)

Sunday at Warm Mineral Springs was a beautiful day some hoped would never come.
A sweltering sun shone down as people waded and floated through the murky water.
Soft, melodic music wafted through quiet conversations that would crescendo into frustrated complaints about the springs' next-day closure.
Three generations of the Rehak family flocked to visit the springs for what could be the last time this summer.
Kruno Rehak, 60, came with his niece Alisha, 11, and mother Anne.
Kruno said he moved to join his family in North Port after enduring chemotherapy four years ago.
During his time soaking in the mineral-rich water, Rehak said he found the site to be a literal melting pot of people from around the world.
"You'll swim past people speaking French," Rehak said. "A few strokes later and you'll meet people with heavy German accents."
But starting today, the springs will be void of lively conversations, floppy sun hats and relaxation.
Warm Mineral Springs closed Sunday afternoon for the last time in the foreseeable future.
Once bustling rooms are barren. Bubbling fountains are now silent.
The springs will be closed for at least several months as its co-owners, Sarasota County and the city of North Port, work to reach an agreement on what to do with the springs and the 81-acre property surrounding them.
The two governments have argued for months over everything from ownership to day-to-day operations of the springs. They have agreed to search for a short-term operator, but finding one could take months, and re-opening the empty buildings surrounding the springs could take months more.
The current operating contract, with Cypress Lending, expired Sunday.
Sandra Kape, of Punta Gorda, and Kristy Moss, of Port Charlotte, came to the springs for healing.
The duo stood near the bank of the spring and practiced Qigong, an ancient spiritual Chinese art similar to tai-chi.
As they slowly lifted their arms and flexed their wrists, the two women prayed.
"We prayed that this blessing won't be taken away from the people for long," Kape said.
For Nicole Robinson, even a week-long closure would be too long.
The 26-year-old, who worked as a receptionist, skin care specialist and marketing manager, said she will have to apply for unemployment now that her job has been eliminated.
Without the springs, Robinson said she will lose more than just her livelihood. She'll lose her close relationships with the regular customers, a place to hone her craft, a second family.
"Watching everything walk out," Robinson said, pausing. "It's really starting to hit home."
Then she began to cry.
Warm Mineral Springs is shuttered, for now
Sunday at Warm Mineral Springs was a beautiful day some hoped would never come.

STATEN ISLAND, NY – Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, will be honored with the 2012 Henry Hyde Award at the annual benefit dinner of the American Catholic Press (ACP). The dinner will take place Oct. 26 in Flossmoor, Ill.
The award named for the late chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, a longtime advocate for the unborn, grew out of another award, the Gratiam Dei Award, bestowed annually by the ACP and awarded to Illinois Rep. Henry Hyde in 1998. Subsequent honorees included Joe Scheidler of the Pro-Life Action League and Norma McCorvey, the "Janet Roe" of the Roe vs. Wade decision. After Rep. Hyde's death in 2007, the organization decided to dedicate a second award, in his name, to those who work tirelessly in the pro-life movement.
"The prestigious Henry Hyde Award will be presented to Father Frank Pavone, who has advocated the pro-life cause for many years," said Father Michael Gilligan, executive director. "Father Frank is known nationwide through publications, articles, media, and public speaking. His non-profit organization, Priests for Life, is wholly dedicated to the pro-life cause."
The Cleary Family of Chicago will be this year's recipients of the Gratiam Dei Award for their decades of service to area schools and churches and their support of ACP.
American Catholic Press was incorporated in 1972 as a not-for-profit. Its publications include the Leaflet Missal, "Parish Liturgy" magazine, "Diocesan Dialogue" and numerous books, all aimed at promoting liturgical renewal of the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church. The annual benefit dinner helps to fund ACP's ongoing commitment to provide Leaflet Missal prayerbooks to shut-ins.
"I am honored to be receiving this award named for a man whom I was privileged to know personally, and with whom I discussed the cause of life numerous times," Father Pavone said. "Congressman Hyde inspired me and millions of others. He was not simply a politician, but a statesman, and embodied the kind of people we need to elect to public office." For information on the benefit, go to www.americancatholicpress.org
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

I still say South Park was the best musical in decades, despite (or perhaps in spite) of its crude lyrics.
I have watched Moulin Rouge countless times and appreciate its artistry more with each viewing. I also loved "Chicago" even though I initially had little interest in seeing it. The musical isn't dead because "Rent" and "Phantom of the Opera" were box office disappointments. They were just badly executed films. I hope that Andrew Lloyd Weber follows through with his plans to produce the film version of his musical,"Sunset Boulevard" starring Glenn Close and Ewan McGregor.
Moulin Rouge was enjoyable. Chicago was awful. And the poor Phantom of the Opera was reduced to being a two dimensional GQ model in a mask saddled with a chorus that was unintelligible. If your story is driven by what the chorus is singing, please make sure we can understand them. Shirley Temple had better diction in musical numbers when she was 4! Musicals have been gasping with death rattle ever since Hollywood screwed over Judy Garland and yanked her from Annie Get Your Gun. The only place where the musical is truly alive and well is at Disney. Belle's opening number in Beauty and the Beast was great, and for my money the best written song of the 90's was Pocahontas' Colors of the Wind.
I don't think the problem is that they are musicals, per se. I don't think Chicago suceeded because it was a musical. It was an incredible movie as well. Phantom of the Opera was abyssmal. I haven't seen the other two, but I don't think either was thought highly of by critics.
I don't think there was a conserted effort to revive the musical with Chicago. It was just timing. Someone just thought it would be a good idea to exploit the stage shows popularity and the gamble paid off for them. The only modern example of a musical that worked for me was Moulin Rouge but even that film tended to polarise people. So I think in the current climate, a hit musical is always only ever going to be a one off followed by those that try to latch on to it and usually fail miserably. I think the golden age of the musical was specific to a particular time in the world (depression and the advent of sound) and as such, has gone for good.
Musicals Are they dead, Again? Over the last year or so "Hollywood" gave us 3 Muicals. All 3 were made after "Chicago". "Chicago" grossed $170,000,000 in North America. "Hollywood" Saw that money could be made. So 3 of "Broadways" biggest shows were then made. They were "Phantom of the Opera", "Rent", and "The Producers". None of them were Box-office Mega hits. So does this mean the musicals are dead again? I hope not. e In fact were getting the musical "Sunset Blvd" in the future. However will You go see it? I think "Hollywood" should of made "Miss Sagion" movie before "Sunset Blvd". The musical "Sunset" will be hard to pull off. Not only because its an adaption of a "Broadway Play", the play was based on the original movie "Sunset Blvd" and not only will people compare to the play ( for those who saw it) it also has the ghost of the original movie "Sunset Blvd". over its head as well. This was something "The Producers" also suffred from -"The Original MOvie".

Galatasaray coach Fatih Terim has blasted the performance of referee Svein Oddvar Moen during his side's 3-0 quarter-final defeat against Real Madrid on Wednesday, saying the Norwegian official was scared of los Blancos.
Madrid emerged victorious after goals from Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuain, but the Gala boss believed his side should have been given two penalties, firstly when Sami Khedira appeared to handle the ball before the interval, and then when Burak Yilmaz was fouled in the second half.
And he questioned the referee's competency, telling reporters after the match: "The referee was scared of Real Madrid's name. He's not a referee for this level.
"If you can't see a penalty for handball, then he shouldn't be here. Everyone says penalty, but the referee - he says nothing. Real Madrid are the favourites for this tournament. It didn't happen for us. What can we do?
"Did he defeat us? No. He blew his whistle at some very interesting parts of the game. I haven't seen the penalty shouts, but everyone says it was a penalty.
"Real Madrid don't need referees, but when they don't see what is there, you don't get anywhere. He also gave lots of wrong decisions. However, referees aren't the subject of the conversation."
Despite the three-goal deficit, Terim refused to rule his side out of the tie, but he admitted it would be a tough task.
"The goals we could have scored in the first half could have changed everything. We will work hard in the second game, but Madrid are better-placed to go through."
"I don't like talking about referees," he added. "I never talk about them. But, the referee was awful."

Lois Frankel isn't going to get to eat her pie.
She doesn't have time. Hunched over a legal pad, she's scrawling notes. "I should have prepared something to say," she says under her breath. Frankel scans the room. Chanel jackets, Nordstrom pantsuits, wide-necked Lane Bryant silk shells, a dining room full of Talbots disciples. Forty-three ladies and their manicured nails in shades aplenty fondle American flags pinned to their lapels -- the jeweled, crystal, pewter, gold-plated ones, the Gulf War antiques, those God Bless America and Protect Our Troops brooches. Moussed up, sprayed up, some subtly bouffanted, the women of the Lakeland chapter of the Women Business Owners re-lacquer their lips while tuxedoed boys whisk away the carcasses of their buffet lunch.
Lost in thought, Frankel stares at the pie's puddling ice-cream topping. Suddenly, she swings her right arm around the back of her chair, leans over, and whispers, "These women are probably Republican." Good guess. In this conservative patch of North Florida, GOP loyalists outnumber Democrats four to one, and no woman has served as a Polk County commissioner in 13 years. These facts don't raise one bushy, dark eyebrow of the first female Democratic Minority Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives. The pro-choice, pro-gun control, über-liberal, six-term legislator will connect with them. The Frankel for Governor campaign is converting more believers today. The politician didn't drive five hours from her West Palm Beach home to give in to the odds.
It was a long trip to the Lakeland Yacht and Country Club from her two-story, half-a-million-dollar home in Presidential Estates, a gated community near a mall and an abortion clinic. "Did you notice that place?" she asks. "There used to be protests every Saturday. Antiabortionists acting like lunatics and scaring people."
Get in a car and spend 18 hours with Lois Frankel and you'll learn that the Florida legislature's most powerful woman is scared of getting lost. Her 1999 maroon Acura is equipped with a global positioning system. "Oh my God, I was lost in Miami once... at night. I figured that was the last time that was going to happen."
Frankel speaks in italics as if she thinks you won't quite take in every word. Sometimes, if Frankel has the oldies station on and gets lucky, a Supremes song will play and she'll, you know, get down. She really loves them, she says. Her memory fails trying to think of the last CD she bought. "I couldn't tell you what happened to music after 1979. But that Mariah Carey has talent." Frankel saw the pop diva's film, Glitter, a few weeks ago. "It was a great story about a woman who follows her dream to be a singer. Everybody tells her that it's impossible, and she gets beat up a little."
Lois Frankel wants to be the next governor of Florida, but everyone tells her that won't happen. She's too liberal, hasn't enough money, has no statewide name recognition, and is vying for her party's nomination against the most popular kid in school -- former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno. "My campaign has nothing to do with Janet. I'm in this because I'm angry at what Gov. Jeb Bush has done to the state. Public education is a mess. He wants to take more money away from education to fix the state's budget, which is in crisis because of a tax cut he gave to the wealthy. He's allowed special interests to dictate what happens in Tallahassee. I'm sick of it. The people are sick of it."
"Look, everybody's the same, they want the same thing," she says at the Gas & Go, 15 minutes outside Lakeland. "They want security for their family, an affordable place to live, services they can depend on."
She colors her thick lips rust red while looking in the rearview mirror. "Oh my God, don't write about my lipstick. That's the stupidest thing ever to put in your story. That's like something a man would notice."
Frankel grabs a pack of Juicy Fruit gum from her console and chews her sixth stick in two hours. "You're gonna hear that a politician from South Florida can't win conservative North Florida. That's a bunch of bull."
She pulls a tan, knee-length skirt and matching jacket from her trunk and marches into the gas-station bathroom. The outfit makes her five-foot-three frame look even shorter, and she doesn't bother compensating with high heels. "Look at the power structure and the money behind politicians," she says. "I nearly fainted when I heard [Pete] Peterson had dropped out. I mean, wow! I was getting phone calls all day saying what a great thing that was for my campaign, and you know what? It was."
Within days of the September 11 attacks, former congressman and ambassador to Vietnam Pete Peterson said he was too shaken by the tragedy and could not focus on campaigning. Deflating Frankel's optimism, several polls taken afterward showed Reno, just days after formally announcing her candidacy, to be the Democrats' most valuable player. Frankel, attorney Bill McBride, and the race's only black candidate, Daryl Jones, looked like bench warmers.
Frankel has come -- or fallen -- a long way since last December, when she machine-gunned sound bites on shows ranging from Geraldo Live! to Meet the Press, denouncing Governor Bush and the Republican Party for delivering the presidency to George W. She became an iconic figure of the disenfranchised Florida voter and an impassioned leader to the disparaged Democrats, who hadn't felt empowered since the GOP took control of the legislature in 1996.
It was the high point of Frankel's career. But because term limits prohibit her from running for the House next year, the politician was forced to make a tough decision. At age 53 and the zenith of her popularity with Democrats, Frankel wasn't about to retire. Beaten miserably in a congressional campaign in 1992 -- the only time she had strayed from the legislature since 1986 -- and convinced that she could effect more change in her home state than in Washington, D.C., the politician looked to the governor's seat. Does she think she can win? Is this a desperate attempt to remain politically relevant? To position herself as a cabinet nominee? To these questions, she is elusive. When Frankel doesn't feel like giving a straight answer, she does not.
"Probably and possibly are two different things," she replies. "I wouldn't have entered unless I thought there was some advantage to it."
If timing in politics is everything, Frankel could wind up with nothing.
Ron Book, power lobbyist and faithful Frankel campaign contributor, believes Frankel would be a capable governor. "But this doesn't seem to be her moment. She's angry about the [presidential] election, and I understand that. But I can't see any real policy difference between she and Janet," he says.
As Dade County state attorney from 1978 to 1993, Reno fought for social services. Frankel made her name in the legislature doing the same. For voters who want to avenge Al Gore's loss, Reno, who forged a close relationship with the ex-veep during her eight years with the Clinton administration, would seem a more likely choice.
"Two words: name recognition," adds Book. "People know Janet. Some people find Lois too abrasive. Business, special interests... you won't see them giving money to Lois in order to pay for media to get her name out."
Frankel has proudly pissed off a slew of corporate suits but none more than tobacco executives. In 1992, Frankel carted a caravan of minors around Florida and secretly videotaped as they illegally bought cigarettes. She first showed the video in the basement of a Tallahassee mansion owned by Florida's most powerful lobby, Associated Industries, a group composed of executives of the state's biggest companies, many of whom have strong ties to big tobacco. Associated Industries director John Shebel, a low-tar smoker, called Frankel "arrogant" for her "antics."
He still doesn't like her.
"The main job of a governor is to bring people together, and I can't think of a more divisive person than Lois," he says. "Florida would have hell to pay if she was elected. She's an attack dog without the kind of class that our governor exudes. My vote is going to Bush."
But Karen Woodall, the sole lobbyist who's contributed to Frankel's campaign, says the legislator is "exactly what Florida needs." Representing the National Organization for Women, Woodall took Frankel under her wing in 1986 and showed the freshman congresswoman around some of the poorest areas of the state. They visited ailing schools, nursing homes, foster care facilities, and halfway houses for children and women.
"I've watched Lois grow tremendously," says Woodall. "If they want to put her record against Reno's, Lois would blow her out of the water."
Frankel has sponsored 33 significant bills, most of which focus on government funding for children, the poor, and low-income AIDS patients. In 1990, as the majority whip on children's issues, she persuaded her mostly conservative male colleagues to pass legislation mandating school sex education to address the state's high teen-pregnancy rate.
A proponent of the state's child abuse registry in 1992, Frankel was instrumental in providing data to the state Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services, foster care homes, and adoption agencies to better protect children in their care. The following session, she helped lead the fight against Republicans who wanted to place limits on abortion rights.
Attempting to build on her success, Frankel resigned in 1992 to wage a nasty battle for Congress against Alcee Hastings, a Democrat from South Florida. By most standards, Hastings seemed an easy target. He was a black former federal judge who'd been impeached on bribery charges. Frankel was a proponent of affirmative action and thought she could appeal to his mostly black constituents. But Hastings creamed Frankel, a victory he now calls a "spirited contest."
The congressman appears to have forgotten that he called Frankel a "bitch" and "racist" and that Frankel sent out mailings calling Hastings a "criminal." Rumors circulated that she falsely told the South Florida Jewish community that Hastings was related to Louis Farrakhan.
The defeat sent Frankel back to her private civil law practice. But she couldn't stay away from politics for long. Two years later, Frankel played dirty again. This time, she climbed into the ring with former aide and friend Mimi McAndrews, who had taken Frankel's seat in 1992.
During a Democratic primary, Frankel mailed out fliers picturing a mangled car with a description of McAndrews's 1987 arrest for DUI outside a Boca Raton club. Andrews countered by sending out leaflets picturing a toddler smoking a marijuana cigarette, claiming that Frankel voted against measures to keep drugs away from children. McAndrews then accused Frankel of offering to employ her and another House Democrat if they dropped out of the primary race. Outraged, Frankel revealed that McAndrews, then age 43, had not paid back $75,000 in law school loans.
"You can't win an election today talking solely about yourself," Frankel says, defending the tactics that returned her to the House. "She started it, and I had to defend myself."
Back in her old seat, Frankel picked up where she left off, sponsoring groundbreaking legislation such as a bill that increased staffing and health standards at nursing homes. Last year, Frankel was instrumental in passing election reforms such as replacing punch-card ballots with uniform statewide ballots. And this year, she helped draft the Teacher 911 Plan, which promotes the hiring of 162,000 teachers over the next ten years.
But Frankel doesn't focus on her lengthy record in speeches. In Lakeland, she doesn't mention it at all. Adjusting her pearl necklace and buttoning her cream jacket, Frankel wrestles comically with a lapel mic. Minutes are all it takes for her to work these ladies into giggles. She tells self-deprecating stories that have nothing to do with politics. She praises her red-haired, 75-year-old mom, Dorothy. "I talk to my mother at least three times a day," Frankel tells the ladies. "She is consulted on every political move I make."
Mom-think tank Dorothy Frankel says she found politics boring before her daughter became a public official. "I just tell her some simple mom advice like the difference between right and wrong," she says. "Don't you talk to your mother about such things?"
Actually, Frankel's mother does more than that. Dorothy travels with Lois as often as possible, sometimes making the long drive to Tallahassee to watch her child deliver fiery speeches on the House floor. For Frankel's campaign, Mom will host several phone-bank fundraisers in West Palm with the help of her bridge buddies.
"I said to her, "You know, honey, you run; you go on and do it,'" Dorothy remembers. "Because you just never know. I mean, what else is she gonna do, just sit on her ass? "C'mon,' I said, "get in there.'"
Dorothy likes to show photographs of her grandson Ben, Frankel's 23-year-old son. The recent Florida State University graduate is the product of Frankel's marriage to prominent West Palm criminal attorney Richard Lubin, whom she met at Georgetown in the early 1970s. The news that Frankel wanted to get hitched shocked Dorothy, who had assumed her daughter's career ambitions might eclipse the desire for a family. But Frankel is not so simple; mindsets that say a woman can't have both a relationship and a career are laughably old school to her.
Frankel's divorce in 1984 had nothing to do with her job, she says. "People just drift apart," she says of herself and Lubin. "Look, I was a divorce lawyer for many years, and I saw the worst kind of heartbreak. So I know how bad it can get. We're still friends, and I have a lot of respect for him. He's a great attorney."
Ben, now a second lieutenant in the Marines, split time between his parents. But he was most often in his mom's care, spending his prepubescent years as a House page. "My mom and dad gave me all the attention I could have wanted," says Ben, barefoot in shorts and a T-shirt, stretched lazily across his mother's leather couch at her West Palm home. He's on vacation before heading to Oklahoma's Fort Sill to have his rookie butt kicked.
"Whenever I came home from college, my mom cleared her schedule. My only complaint is that she can't cook."
A cozy relationship with mom, a son in the Marines... the Frankel for Governor campaign is smelling more and more like apple pie.
She tells the Lakeland ladies, "My son Ben," she sighs. "God, I love 'im.... It's hard to think about.... Times are different today, aren't they?
"I know our thoughts are with the people who have suffered in New York and Washington. What did the people in those towers do when they figured out that there was a fire?"
They prayed, answered a couple of women.
"Yes, they prayed, but they also called their families. And what did they say to their families? "I love you.' They said, "I love you.' They called their husbands, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers and told them how much they meant to them. Wouldn't it be nice if we in Tallahassee could create legislation that said the same thing: I love you? How do you say "I love you' to the elderly? You pass bills that ensure nursing homes are up to standards. How do you say "I love you' to children? You don't cut funding for programs that help disadvantaged kids. You create legislation to protect our environment so they have a beautiful place to grow up. We could call it the "I love you' bill."
Frankel has them. Two women tear up. One whispers, "Amen, amen."
Telling these ladies, flush to their gills with emotion, that she is a kinder, gentler politician, Frankel prepares to Bushwhack. He should repeal the $150 million intangibles tax cut he pushed through the legislature earlier this year, she booms. "That cut was for the rich. How many of you are rich?
"It's easy to think that education, health care, elderly care, the environment are things we can pick away at," she says. "But we cannot allow that.
"We have a budget problem; we have had a budget problem because the fiscal policies of the current governor favor only the rich few.
"There are a lot of things that go on in Tallahassee that would shock you, shock you," Frankel continues. "Jeb Bush asked for a 5 percent cut to education." A gasp from the audience. "And he gets away with it; the Republicans get away with it because nobody knows what's going on in their own capital."
Keeping it light with a little Oprah Winfrey humor, she chirps, "If men were teachers, I don't think we'd see big cuts. I think salaries would be higher!"
When the applause dies down, Frankel finishes off the Lakeland Women Business Owners.
"People ask me, "How can you be so bold as to run for governor?'" Frankel says. "Well, look, it's this simple, folks: I want to take our state back from the special interests, the good ol' boys club, the power lobbyists, the fat cats and their money that Bush has allowed to rule the roost for too long."
Bold, yes. That is Lois Frankel. And sometimes, it works. As Frankel hustles out of the country club to make her next appointment, two women offer to volunteer for her campaign. Another gives an American-flag pin to the politician. "Here," she says to Frankel, "you deserve this."
But Lisa Hickey, the group's president, is less than thrilled with Frankel. "She went across the line. Lois knew we are nonpartisan. I had asked her to talk about women's and children's issues, but she blatantly did not. I would have liked for her to inform us about what we need to know about legislation that affects us as business owners, mothers, elder caregivers. This was another discourse of what Lois Frankel doesn't like about Republicans in Tallahassee."
Inside Frankel's steel-gray home, up a short flight of stairs, are canvasses that look like shrapnel from a bombed Crayola factory.
Frankel discovered a few years ago that she could paint well enough that people asked to buy her paintings and wanted to know why she wasn't a full-time artist. "There's so much stress in my life," she says, staring at the stacks of paintings crowding the hallway. "I was just letting off some steam, and the next thing I knew, I had, like, 30 paintings. Selling them would be like turning it into a job."
As a young girl, when someone asked Frankel what she wanted to be when she grew up, she replied, "A politician." She's unsure how that seed was planted. "To me, it was, if someone was weak and they looked like they were about to go down, there was I!" she explains. "If there was some black kid getting picked on or something, there was I! I, like, identified with the people who weren't strong enough to fight their own fights, I guess. I knew by the time I could talk!"
Her father, Edward Frankel, a New York City lingerie salesman, began testing his daughter's political might during lengthy dinner-table debates. He helped her when, at 14 years old, she wanted to campaign door-to-door for John F. Kennedy. Yet, while Edward encouraged his daughter to broaden her understanding of the world, he yearned to keep her from it. "My father was a very protective person," she recalls. "He encouraged me to go to college and have a career, but I know he would have rather I lived a more sheltered life... preferred that I take fewer risks."
His daughter's left-wing politics confounded Edward. Was she spending too much time in the City wandering around Greenwich Village, where young minds would be easily corrupted? Eventually, her family gave up trying to sway her. Lois was just born that way, they would say. She can't help it.
After her 1970 magna cum laude graduation from Boston University with degrees in psychology and organized protest, she went to Georgetown University Law School, then, in 1978, moved to West Palm Beach to work as a public defender. Frankel eventually became one of the toughest civil and divorce lawyers in the area. After her first jury victory in 1982, the year she went into private practice, she surprised her parents with a new yellow Cadillac.
Since Frankel announced this past July that she wanted Jeb Bush's job, she's become a one-woman road-tripping force, zipping across the state to woo a crowd of voters or throw a fundraiser. Give her 20 minutes and she will find a way to sway almost any voter.
But these days, she better show up driving a bulldozer.
Strikes against a Lois Frankel victory can be summed up in two words: September 11.
Frankel called off fundraising for the rest of the month, an effort she'd begun only on September 1. She started making phone calls again on October 1 but admits, "It was like starting over. For September alone, our goal was to raise $180,000." By October 10, she reported little more than $112,000.
The Democratic Party has been Frankel's biggest contributor so far, giving her $43,000 -- the most it has afforded any of the Democratic candidates. (The Dems contributed $40,300 to McBride's $512,010 coffer and none to Reno -- because she entered the race late.) Frankel also expects to collect sizable checks from the Florida Trial Lawyers, a faithful big-money contributor to her House campaigns.
But whatever green the Democratic Party gives Frankel, it's mere pennies compared to what the group will spend by next October's primary. Although the Dems have never shelled out more than $10 million on a state race, party chairman Bob Poe says they will spend at least $20 million by the time voters cast their ballots next fall.
"Republicans outspent us four to one in the presidential election, and they thought they had everything going for them, which they obviously didn't," he says. "If Republicans feel they have this election, then that's a false sense of security that will play into our hands. We're going to match or exceed what they spend."
In terms of registered voters, Democrats have a slight edge this year. Statewide, they outnumber Republicans 44 to 40 percent. Frankel's grassroots, cross-state, road-trip campaign (her schedule shows her visiting as many as seven towns a week until January 2002) is designed to appeal to the remaining independents.
Fine-tuning this strategy are Washington consultants Mark Putnam and David Murphy, the political witch doctors behind Ruth Anne Minner's unexpected 2000 Delaware gubernatorial win and Gov. Bob Holdin's victory last year in Missouri. Putnam and Murphy will go head-to-head with Clinton consultants Frank Greer and James Carville, who are helping Reno. "Lois is dedicated to this campaign," says Murphy. "We're sending out mailings now, but it's up to her to really get out there and meet people. The Frankel for Governor campaign is an investment we're proud of." Before September 11, it might have taken Frankel less than five seconds to give a sound bite that took a chunk out of Jeb Bush. Not anymore.
"I'm not about to say anything... that, uh... might be perceived as unsupportive... name-calling isn't cool right now," she says carefully. "I wouldn't want anyone to get the impression that I am... that I was anything other than supportive right now."
A minute of silence goes by. "He's making some good speeches right now, and the person who's writing them is doing a really good job," she says. "Let's just say there are greater evils than the Republican party out there right now."
Aw, what happened to the old Lois Frankel, who appeared on CNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews September 5? On the show, Republican House Speaker Tom Feeney, Frankel's legislative nemesis, predicted that the governor's race would entertain like the Super Bowl. Frankel gave a preview that confirmed his prediction by spending most of her air-time slamming Bush.
Matthews: You call Jeb Bush a "bum."
Frankel: He's taken with his tax cuts for corporate interests and for the wealthy. He's taken our budget to near-bankruptcy. Our school boards are having to cut services, cut transportation, school supplies; they put a freeze on hiring. He's set up this private-school slush fund, moving the tax dollars into the private schools. He's... he stole money.
Matthews: Did he steal the election for his brother?
Frankel: He should have stood up for the voters of Florida and demanded that our votes be counted. We felt like he... he hid behind the skirts of [Secretary of State] Katherine Harris.

By the time Frankel passes Yeehaw Junction while driving south on Florida's Turnpike, she has yawned twice. It's almost midnight. The two hard-shell tacos she bought at a Taco Bell outside Lakeland didn't really pick her up. Her face, animated all day, is now deflating. The skin under her eyes, which do not stray from the neon yellow line leading her car home, is a little puffy. Her cell-phone earpiece is still tucked into her ear, even long after her aides have finished telling her about a fundraiser that Florida Attorney General Bob Butterworth hosted at his home the previous night. "Who was there? Uh-huh, uh-huh. Well, yeah, of course," she replies. Frankel has five voice-mail messages waiting. She tells New Times to write the numbers down and dial them when she's ready. "You're my personal assistant today, because I usually have someone with me," she says.
By the time a sign to West Palm is visible, Frankel has stopped talking politics. She says she would never go back to practicing divorce law because it's too depressing. Marriage is hard, she believes. Hillary Clinton? "If you call yourself a feminist," she says, "you can't say anything bad about Hillary for staying with Bill. She got more done with him than without him."
Pulling into her driveway, she offers one of the last sticks of Juicy Fruit. She has chewed almost the entire pack. It will be nice to sleep in her own bed, she says. She might have some time tomorrow to paint or watch an old movie, activities she spent an entire day doing during the week of the attacks to escape 24-hour news coverage. She parks and throws open the door.
"I hope you had fun," she mumbles, gathering her bag and the Lakeland ladies' complimentary fern from her back seat. "Let's try it again. I'll be doing this a lot."

I was pleased and amused at news that Seinfeld will apparently pimp Vista, which has been ravaged by issues such as poor performance, the way UAC trains users to click yes without providing real security, to say nothing of how Vista has horrible DRM, which distrusts the user and hurts consumers.
Vista is so bad, Microsoft came up with this elaborate plan to trick people into saying nice things about Vista. It might be easy to trick a few novice users into thinking Vista looks neat when they're in a lab, but do they know about the performance issues it may have on their hardware, or the frustrating DRM? For that matter, can they navigate the small ocean of different Vista licenses to select the right one? Vista is not what you'd expect from a half-decade of development. When you spend billions upon billions of dollars on a new operating system, you'd expect more than a "Defective By Design" piece of junk.
All this leads me to conclude that Seinfeld is the perfect spokesperson for Vista. Because Vista is a joke. Windows is the Smelly Car of personal computing. It makes computers stink, and Vista is just the latest horrible manifestation.

"Healthy" and "snacks": two words that don't always go together. While many products claim to be healthy, their nutritional information – typically printed in teeny-tiny letters on the most obscure part of the package – can tell a different story, whether due to high sodium content, unnatural sugars, or manufactured, ten-syllable ingredients. When it comes to healthy snacks, it's not just the calories that count.
That doesn't mean, however, that you have to commit to a lifetime of kale and beet juice for the sake of eating right. We all have cravings. Satisfying them with good choices is the key, which is why we've compiled a list of great-tasting, good-for-you treats that won't throw you into a junk food tailspin. Here, our picks for the best healthy snacks that are high on nutrition and packed with great Latin flavors.

RAMALLAH, West Bank – The mysterious death of a 30-year-old Palestinian gas station attendant in Israeli custody stoked new West Bank clashes Sunday, along with Israeli fears of a third Palestinian uprising.
A senior Palestinian official alleged that Arafat Jaradat was tortured by Israel's Shin Bet security service, citing an autopsy he said revealed bruising and two broken ribs.
Israel's Health Ministry said the autopsy did not conclusively determine the cause of death, but that the bruising and broken ribs were likely the result of attempts to revive the detainee.
Jaradat's death came at a time of rising West Bank tensions, including several days of Palestinian marches in support of four hunger-striking prisoners in Israeli lockups. In all, Israel holds nearly 4,600 Palestinians, including dozens who have never been formally charged.
Frozen Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, the recent re-election of Israeli hard-line Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a Palestinian cash crisis and the Palestinians' sense of being abandoned by the Arab world seem to have created fertile ground for a third Palestinian revolt.
Over the weekend, Israel's army chief convened senior commanders to discuss the growing unrest.
Jaradat's death "is liable to become the opening shot" in a third uprising, Israeli military commentator Alex Fishman wrote in the Yediot Ahronot daily Sunday, arguing that the "Palestinian street has been boiling with anger for a number of weeks now."
However, Israeli officials have previously expressed concern about a new uprising, only to see bursts of Palestinian protests fizzle.
The first uprising, marked by stone-throwing protests and commercial strikes, erupted in the late 1980s and led to Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. The second uprising broke out in 2000, after failed talks on a final peace deal, and it was far deadlier, with Israel reoccupying the West Bank after bombings and shootings.
In recent years, the West Bank has been relatively calm. Despite recent tensions, the Palestinian self-rule government has not broken off security coordination with Israel in their joint campaign against Islamic militants.
Palestinian activists also say they learned from the mistakes of the armed revolt a decade ago and are turning to more creative protests against Israel's 45-year rule over lands they want for a future state.
Former Palestinian security chief Jibril Rajoub, speaking in Hebrew on Israel Radio, tried to reassure Israelis, declaring Sunday "on behalf of the entire Palestinian leadership that there is no plan to lead to bloodshed."
Jaradat, a father of two from the West Bank village of Saeer, died in Megiddo Prison in northern Israel on Saturday, six days after his arrest on suspicion of stone throwing.
Jaradat's attorney, Kamil Sabbagh, said his client told an Israeli military judge Thursday during a hearing that he was being forced to sit for long periods during interrogation. The detainee also complained of back pain and seemed terrified to return to the Shin Bet lockup, although he did not have any apparent signs of physical abuse, Sabbagh said.
After the court hearing, the judge ordered Jaradat to be examined by a prison doctor.
The Shin Bet said that during interrogation, Jaradat was examined several times by a doctor who detected no health problems. On Saturday, he was in his cell and felt unwell after lunch, the agency said.
"Rescue services and a doctor were alerted and treated him," the statement said. But "they didn't succeed in saving his life."
On Sunday, Israel's forensics institute performed an autopsy attended by a physician from the Palestinian Authority.
After being briefed by the Palestinian physician, Issa Karake, the Palestinian minister of prisoner affairs, told a news conference late Sunday that Jaradat had suffered two broken ribs on the right side of his chest. The autopsy also showed bruises on Jaradat's back and chest.
Israeli officials initially said Jaradat apparently died of a heart attack, but Karake said the Palestinian physician told him there was no evidence of that.
Jaradat "faced harsh torture, leading to his immediate, direct death. Israel is fully responsible for his killing," Karake said.
Israel's Health Ministry said Jaradat did not suffer from disease and that it was not possible yet to determine his cause of death conclusively.
The Israeli human rights group B'Tselem said the Shin Bet routinely holds detainees in isolation for extended periods during interrogation, keeping them in cells where the lights are never turned off.
Citing prisoner affidavits, B'Tselem spokeswoman Sarit Michaeli said physical mistreatment has dropped sharply in recent years but has not disappeared.
Detainees have filed some 700 complaints about mistreatment by Shin Bet agents in the past decade, but none has led to a criminal investigation, she said.

The state funeral service of legendary struggle stalwart Winnie Madikizela-Mandela took place on Saturday 14 April at Orlando Stadium in Soweto.
Some of the speakers at the funeral included President Cyril Ramaphosa, fashion icon and model Naomi Campbell and EFF leader Julius Malema. Malema shook the stadium with his fiery speech that became a trending topic on social media. Here are some of the highlights from Mam' Winnie's funeral:
Julius Malema's passionate speech
Malema said: "I am here not so much to bury Mama, because Queen Mothers do not die, they multiply into a million red flowers of love and freedom." He told the crowd that he was there to speak on behalf of the "dejected masses of our people". He continued: "You [Mama Winnie] trusted that your mission of putting the country first was embraced by an organization you loved but Mama you did not know that your organization had been rendered incapable of loving you back."
"Equally big Mama, some of those who sold you to the regime are here and are crying louder than all of us who stood by you. The UDF cabal that distanced itself from you is here crying crocodile tears after disowning you at a critical moment hoping the regime will finish you off."

The call for a Madikizela-Mandela airport
Malema called for the Cape Town International Airport to be named after Madikizela Mandela. He said: "If it is true that the ANC wants to honour you, let them name Cape Town Airport after Winnie Mandela." This led to people posting pictures of the suggested airport name change.

Alleged scuffle between EFF members and Police's VIP protection unit
Police are reportedly investigating an alleged scuffle between Police VIP protection unit and EFF members Julius Malema and fellow Member of Parliament Mbuyiseni Ndlozi. This is after images began circulating of the two surrounded by members of the army and police. They were allegedly denied entry to the Fourways Memorial Park where Madikizela-Mandela was laid to rest.

'Glee"s Michael Jackson Covers Rack Up Half a Million Downloads This Week
You go, 'Glee!'
All 10 tracks from 'Michael,' the show's Michael Jackson tribute episode, debuted in the Hot 100 this week. All the songs combined 500,000 digital downloads, with 'Smooth Criminal' hitting No. 10 on the digital singles chart. The 'Michael' episode was the most watched episode so far in the show's third season, garnering a staggering 9.1 million viewers and becoming the night's No. 1 rated show among adults 18-49.
'Smooth Criminal' is the cast's third highest debut song of the season, moving 108,000 downloads. The highest debut this season is still the cast's rendition of Fun.'s 'We Are Young' (160,000 downloads), followed by the show's mash up of Adele's 'Rumor Has It / Someone Like You' (137,000 downloads).
The success is good news for the show, which has been plagued by falling ratings this season. Until 'Michael,' the only third season track to chart on the Top 40 was 'Rumor Has It / Someone Like You.'
However, the drops are all pretty relative — the show is still a massive success and is pretty much guaranteed a fourth season, and 28 tracks from this season have hit the Hot 100 charts. Since the show's inceptions, the 'Glee' cast has charted a whopping 183 songs on the Billboard Hot 100, shattering records previously held by Elvis Presley and the Beatles.
We're glad the show will be heading out on its two month break on a high note: Their numbers aren't 'Bad' at all!

Seabrook mother indicted on attempted murder chargesBy JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
September 12. 2013 10:49PM
BRENTWOOD — A Seabrook mother accused of force feeding bleach to her two young children was indicted on attempted murder charges, raising the possibility that she could spend the rest of her life in state prison.
Charges were upgraded against Wendy Wright, 33, by a Rockingham County grand jury earlier this month, according to prosecutors.
Wright was also indicted on two counts attempted first-degree assault for feeding bleach to her 7-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son on June 18. Wright allegedly told the children they were taking medicine.
Prosecutors allege that Wright instructed her children to drink the bleach, believing that she was taking "a substantial step" toward committing murder, indictments say.
She remains at the Rockingham County jail and will be scheduled for arraignment later this month in superior court to enter a formal plea on the new charges.
Seabrook police found Wright unconscious at her home June 18. Wright told a police officer that she wanted to end her own life and "save" her children.
"I don't want to live. I really love my kids, but I wanted to save them from everyone else," Wright allegedly told a police officer.
Defense lawyers have protested the seriousness of the charges, saying she has been suffering from undiagnosed or untreated mental health issues.
Last month, a judge altered Wright's bail after conferring with the prosecution and the defense last month, but the results of that meeting remain unknown.
County Attorney James Reams said at the time that pleadings regarding Wright's mental health issues would likely remain under court seal. Reams said in August his office would not rule out upgrading the charges from first-degree assault, after making their own determination about Wright's mental state.
The first-degree assault charges are Class A felonies, punishable by up to 7½ to 15 years in state prison.

I spoke about Jim Dobson and his efforts and used the term 'the anti-Christ.' I regret having used that term. I meant to say this approach was un-Christian, meaning self-serving and selfish.
Oh, OK. Not the "anti-Christ," just "un-Christian." Glad you clarified that point, Senator. Salazar is a political novice, which may explain his ham-handed climb-down. But his explanation for his intemperate outburst does not inspire confidence:
Salazar added that his statement came after "being relentlessly attacked" in telephone calls, e-mails, newspapers and radio stations across Colorado.
This is a very curious rationale. If you run for the Senate (or the House, or pretty much any political office) you are guaranteed to be "relentlessly attacked." Indeed, in today's world, even amateur commentators like us are relentlessly attacked. The fact that one is "attacked" hardly justifies referring to one's political opponents as "the Anti-Christ" or "un-Christian." Imagine, for example, the outcry if President Bush so referred to those who attack him.
What is really striking about this controversy is the mildness of the "attack" to which Salazar refers. James Dobson was one of several leaders who participated in the "Justice Sunday" telecast, intended to rally support for the idea that the Senate should fulfill its Constitutional responsibility by voting on the President's judicial nominees. This, in itself, is hardly a controversial, let alone "un-Christian," political position. And it was expressed with extraordinary civility.
Radioblogger has transcripts of the principal speeches given on "Justice Sunday" by Bill Frist, Charles Colson, James Dobson and others. They are a model of rational discourse, replete with references to the Federalist Papers and other similarly unimpeachable authorities. No one ever suggests that the Democratic obstructionists are "the Anti-Christ," or "un-Christian," or any other epithet. Neither Ken Salazar nor any other Democratic Senator is mentioned by name. The general tenor of the discussion is far above the norm for contemporary American politics; in particular, it is more intelligent and more civil by light-years than would ever be observed at any gathering of Democrats, MoveOn fanatics, Kosites, etc.
Yet the mere fact that a group of people banded together to advance a political position in opposition to his own was enough to send Ken Salazar into a paroxysm of hate, calling them first "the Anti-Christ," and then, upon sober reflection, "un-Christian."
Salazar's meltdown can only be seen as another symptom of the radical dysfunction that now dominates the Democratic Party. One can't help noticing, too, how newspapers cover for the Democrats. The Denver Post doesn't question the logic of Salazar's excuse for his bizarre slander of James Dobson's organization. What's more, it offers a weirdly inept explanation for the benefit of those who may not have known what Salazar was talking about:
Salazar uttered the theological term ["the Anti-Christ"], popularized in the 1970s movie "The Omen," in an interview with a Colorado Springs television station about his war of words with the conservative Christian group.
Sure, that's where it came from. A 1970s movie.
UPDATE: A reader points out that Salazar's revised insult is bigoted:
Salazar's apoIogy is worse than the original. I am an un-Christian. Why does that make me "self-serving and selfish"? Can you imagine the outcry from liberal groups if a conservative Christian leader called opposition "un-Christian, meaning self-serving and selfish"?
Good point. The kindest thing we could say is that Ken Salazar is not ready for prime time.

Piano-shaped cigarette case, England, 1920-1970
This piano-shaped cigarette case was made by a patient at Brighton County Borough Asylum, later known as St Francis Hospital. Whoever made it obviously possessed good wood working skills. Many individuals passed almost their entire lives within the confines of such institutions. Although the regimes could be strict and highly regulated, the maker of this object was clearly given time to indulge their artistic abilities. The hospital opened in 1859 and closed in 1995.

Epilepsy and seizures affect nearly three million people in the United States and more than 40 million people worldwide. By some estimates, nearly one in 10 people will experience at least one seizure by the age of 70.
The onset of seizures, at any age, can be a frightening and life-altering event. However, with appropriate diagnosis and treatment, the impact of seizures on a person's life can be minimized. And in many cases, the seizures can be fully controlled with medicine and/or medical treatment.
In this LifePod, a physician in the Epilepsy Center at Sinai Hospital, discusses the many different types of seizures and epilepsy. He also talks about how important it is for the patient to get the correct diagnosis and the multitude of treatments available, from medications to possible surgical options to medical devices such as the vagus nerve stimulator.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Microsoft Corp.'s top lawyer said government surveillance remains a big headache for tech companies and urged the U.S. to make a clear vow that it will no longer hack data centers.
Brad Smith, Microsoft's MSFT, +0.15% general counsel, this week acknowledged that there have been some "initial positive reforms" when it comes to protecting the privacy of citizens in the wake of disclosures by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden of massive government data-gathering.
"But the reality is clear," Smith said in a blog post. "The U.S. Government needs to address important unfinished business to reduce the technology trust deficit it has created."
Take the use of search warrants.
Many tech companies, such as Google GOOG, +0.78% and Apple AAPL, +1.52% , have taken a clear policy requiring law enforcement agencies to produce search warrants for user information requests.
But Smith said the U.S. government could also target data stored outside the country.
"We're concerned about governmental attempts to use search warrants to force companies to turn over the contents of non-U.S. customer communications that are stored exclusively outside the United States," he wrote.
"The U.S. government wouldn't stand for other governments seeking to serve search warrants within American borders to seize the content of U.S. citizens' emails without going through U.S. legal process. Why should it expect other governments to react any differently?"
He said Microsoft went to court to challenge a search warrant seeking content stored in a Microsoft data center in Ireland.
Smith also urged the U.S. government to "commit not to hack data centers or cables." He cited recent reports that the NSA hacked Yahoo US:YHOO and Google systems outside the U.S.
"The Executive Branch remains silent about its views of this practice," he said. "Shouldn't a government that prosecutes foreigners who hack into U.S. companies stop its own employees from hacking into such businesses? Why must we continue to wait for an assurance on this issue?"
The debate over privacy and surveillance has implications for tech companies at a time when cloud computing and services have become key components of the industry.
"With the advent of mobile devices and cloud services, technology has never been more powerful or more personal," he said. "But as I encountered in virtually every meeting during a recent trip to Europe, as well as discussions with others from around the world, people have real questions and concerns about how their data are protected. These concerns have real implications for cloud adoption. After all, people won't use technology they don't trust."
Smith's arguments come at a time when major tech companies are focusing more on policies related to how they keep users informed about government surveillance.
Last month, the Electronic Frontier Foundation said the Snowden disclosures, which began last year, have prompted more companies to be more open about how they deal with data requests.
"The sunlight brought about by a year's worth of Snowden leaks appears have prompted dozens of companies to improve their policies when it comes to giving user data to the government," the advocacy group said.

To Heel Lift or Not to Heel Lift? That is the Question
By Kevin M. Wong, DC
On at least a weekly basis, patients come to me after visiting the "foot doctor" or another health professional, telling me they have a short leg. The situation is complicated because these patients often have been given a heel lift to automatically begin compensating for this short leg. In many cases, this "solution" actually creates more problems. Why? After all, it seems simple: If the leg is short, put something underneath it to make both legs even, right?
Much of the time, our patients are not given all of the facts and/or do not receive thorough explanations for conditions for which they are diagnosed. These patients believe they are, in fact, walking around with one leg physically shorter than the other. Only in a few cases is this true. But patients are often confused, and it's up to us, doctors of chiropractic, to educate them.
A leg-length difference can cause a great deal of pain and needs to be addressed as quickly as possible. In fact, research suggests a leg-length difference (measured while standing) of 5-9 mm or more results in a higher incidence of low back pain.1 Athletes and people who spend considerable time on their feet may develop chronic symptoms with just 3 mm of discrepancy.2
It is important to make the distinction between the anatomically short leg and the functionally short leg. It might at first seem like splitting hairs, but the two concepts have radically different meanings for the biomechanics of the body, and each benefits from its own specific treatment.
Anatomical Leg-Length Inequality
Anatomical leg-length inequality (ALLI) occurs when the femur or tibia of one leg is physically shorter than in the other leg. There are various reasons why ALLI exists:
Historically, we have quantitative measurement procedures that allow us to determine if there is an anatomical or structural shortening present:
From a clinical standpoint, the measurements described above have been traditionally taught to us with the patient in a weight-bearing position. The reality is that measurement and positioning errors can occur more frequently in a non-weight-bearing position. Recent research has found measurements of leg-length discrepancy obtained in non-weight-bearing positions to be unreliable.3
It is ideal to utilize the leg-length and Allis tests in a standing position. If you want to take it a step further, X-ray your patient in a standing position. "The criterion standard for anatomical LLI is the scanogram, radiograph of both femurs and tibias; so comparisons can be made. This procedure is considered a valid indicator of lower extremity length."4
As doctors of chiropractic, you and I have a solid understanding of biomechanics and the axial kinematic chain. We understand how small changes in posture or joint position can create a short-leg phenomenon. In practice, most of us will be dealing with the functional short leg.
Functional Short Leg (FSL)
This common type of leg-length inequality is a result of rotational patterns of the pelvis and hips. It can also be affected by misalignments or torsional movement in the knee, ankles and feet. The most common cause of FSL is overpronation, more on one side of the body than the other. Another less common cause is knee valgus.
In many cases of functional short leg, as evidenced by radiographic study, the use of scientifically designed, custom-made orthotics has been shown to help eliminate musculoskeletal deficiencies and improve patient outcomes.5 Providing symmetrical support for both feet with orthotics is important when recognizing the functional short leg because providing a lift – instead of an orthotic – will likely perpetuate the associated sacroiliac subluxations.6
Posture Is Revealing
Since overpronation is a common cause of FSL in patients, we can use our eyes to help us determine what is happening. Make sure the patient is standing without socks on a solid surface and in a comfortable position. The patient should not correct their feet position such that they are pointing forward. Instead, the patient should be in a natural standing position. This way, some of the dysfunctional postural patterns will be easier to pick out during the evaluation, since this is how the patient usually stands.
When pronation occurs on both feet, it is typically worse on one side than the other. It is on the worse side where one usually finds the FSL. Starting from the feet, look at the inner arches and Achilles tendons as indicators of arch collapse. Move up the tibias to the knees and look for the increased medial / internal rotation that can create knee valgus and medial movement of the patellae.
Look at and palpate the iliac crests and the greater trochanters to see if they are of unequal height. Finally, look and palpate the lumbar spine. A typical postural distortion for a short leg will create a lumbar scoliosis whose convexity moves toward the side of the FSL.
Now, how can you tell if it's an ALLI or an FSL? Perform the following:
After doing the leg checks and analyzing the short leg, perform the adjustments and recheck. If that leg is still short and you have cleared out the lumbar spine, pelvis, hips, knees and ankles, you are dealing with an ALLI. If it levels off, it is an FSL.
Correction Protocols
If you are dealing with an FSL, perform adjustments to clear out all of the indicators and level the pelvis. Then scan or fit the patient for a pair of custom, stabilizing orthotics. The arch support provided by orthotics will stabilize the pedal foundation, reduce the effects of the axial kinematic chain, and significantly reduce the effects of pronation and the presence of the FSL. Remember, most of the patients who walk into our office have an FSL. We just need to evaluate them properly to confirm.
In cases in which ALLI is present, here is a good protocol to follow: After you have measured your patient's actual leg-length discrepancy, it is always a safe bet to undercorrect. The classic rule of thumb is to cut the LLI in half and then start with the appropriate-sized heel lift. Incorporate this protocol:
I have found in my practice that just putting the custom orthotics in the patient's shoes often will allow the body to balance out so well that further heel lift correction is not necessary. When I need to use a lift, I have rarely gone past a 3 mm.
From a practice standpoint, it is very important to be able to confidently determine if someone truly has a short leg due to anatomy or functionality. Using a heel lift as a shotgun approach to every patient with a short leg can create disastrous effects on the body.
Please take the information in this article to heart and use it. You can really change someone's life simply by removing the heel lift when they don't need it. But you need to make sure you are correct in doing so. Practice and knowledge will build your confidence.
