Stem Cells 101
This post is an attempt to explain what stem cells are, and the differences between the different types. I am not going to touch on the ethics of stem cell research in this post, but leave that for a later discussion. I do think it is important that people understand what a stem cell is before they are able to make a judgment call on the ethics surrounding the subject. That may sound obvious; but experience has shown me that again, and again, people (including very powerful people) will make a really serious decision, without fully understanding the issue behind stem cells.
I am also going to try to keep this short and therefore I may be accused of over-simplifying. I apologise in advance for that, and should be able to give more information if anyone requires it. I am not going to talk about the research at this stage either. It is just looking at the stem cell themselves, what they do, and where they come from.
Almost all living organisms have stem cells. The name comes from the fact (like a plant) these are the stem, that have the capability to produce different types of cells & therefore tissue. They are of course the cells which allow animals to grow (both in the womb, and later in life). They are also the cells which allow our bodies to repair damage. So if you want to see them at work, then you can cut yourself. Eventually the cut will heal over, and new tissue will be grown to heal the cut. Clever things…we would be in trouble without them.
Now there are different types of stems cells, and they are identified by the number of different types of tissue that they are able to produce.
- Totipotent - can produce any cell within the body
- Pluripotent - can produce almost any cell of the 3 germ layers.
- Multipotent - can produce any cell of a particular family of cells
- Unipotent - is only able to produce one type of cell
The potentially most useful cells are the ones that can produce the most type of cells - the first 2 (actually the focus is mostly on pluripotent) groups. And indeed it is these cells (and how they are harvested) that cause almost all the controversy.
In humans, pluripotent stem cells are taken from blastocysts, which are 3-5 day old embryos. The embryos are provided by fertility clinics. When females are receiving certain fertility treatments then they are given drugs to cause them to super-ovulate (or to produce many eggs). These are removed from the uterus and fertilised with the sperm. In other words, these embryos have never been inside a human body and would never go on to produce a foetus. If they were not to be used for stem cell research then they would be discarded, thrown out with any other organic waste.
A really exciting recent development from 2 separate pieces of research from last year, is the possibility to use adult multipotent skin stem cells, and alter them so that they could become pluripotent. Should this technique be fully successful, then it may remove almost all of the objections that people may have against stem cell research.
In the next post I would like to discuss the different research areas, and the lists of diseases / impairments / medical advantages that may be possible through this research. I think only when there is a full understanding of the facts, and issues that we can then go on to discuss the ethics.

NORTH LAUDERDALE City Council members have the legal authority to appoint a temporary successor to the late Vice Mayor Sam Miller, but they should not do so. Instead, they should order a special election held as soon as possible to let voters select a replacement.
Miller, 75, died a week ago Saturday, 177 days before the next regular city election scheduled March 11, 1986. If the vacancy in office had occurred three days earlier, the City Charter would have forced City Council members to hold a special election. As it is, the charter provides that if there is a council vacancy less than 180 days before a regular election, the council has the option of either holding a special election or appointing a successor.
Mayor Carl Fusco now says no special election will be held. Earlier this week, he suggested leaving the office vacant out of respect for Miller, but that is neither legal nor proper. The citizens of North Lauderdale deserve full representation as soon as possible, and that should be accomplished through the election process.
An appointment of a replacement would reflect the wishes of the majority of council members, which might be far different from the wishes of the majority of North Lauderdale voters.
If the council appoints a "caretaker" pledged not to seek election in March, his or her usefulness as a governmental leader will be greatly reduced. If the council appoints a person who decides to seek election next March, that appointment will clearly give the candidate a leg up on other office-seekers.
The advantages of letting voters exercise their authority to select Miller's replacement will more than make up for the disadvantages, mainly the $3,000 cost of the election and the extra time probably needed to conduct it.

|Eye of Providence, symbolizes ( among
othe r ) spiritual illumination and insight
Favorable day for such "magickal operations" would be Monday, days when the Moon is full, in hours of Moon, Mercury , Jupiter and Saturn.Hoodoo offers many formulas, serving as boost to readers and gifted , or to any occult worker/practitioner in general, which are often combined with formulas for money and love, or other if need be. More so when desire is to stress specific aspect of the guidance, for example dreaming lucky, hence, attaining information about future and how to live more lucky, get more money or win games of chance or bets. I wrote about the famous formulas Aunt Sally's ( Lucky Dream/s ) and how they help one "dream lucky" as Hoodoo people often say.
Other popular Hoodoo "brands" to use in such work include "Psychic vision", "Power" and "Master key", some of which will be discussed here today . It's wise to note here that Psychic vison is a brand, considered to be among the youngest formulas of Hoodoo, which may technically speaking be true, but various formulas to produce the same effect existed much before the suppliers saw the opportunity in commercializing those into a formula brand.
In New Orleans , there is even a curious trend of making "Green fairy" or "absinthe" into form of Conjure oil, that bears the same name, and shares nearly alchemical, elaborate procedure of making and baptism of the Absinthe spirit procedure. Such oil is believed to be extremely powerful and fast acting in boosting psychic powers, clear vision and thinking, when made properly [1] The simpler version, though more than likely far less effective can be made by simply blending Mugwort, Anise, Peppermint*, with addition of some Hyssop and Fennel in each of the bottles made .
Fragrant herbs, root and spices often used in Blessing work, and Healing work are often herbs used in psychic development in Hoodoo, as well, hence why these formulas often have a lot of common ingredients , or dual functions.They can be used in forms of oils, to dress candles and oneself, periodically, baths to wash head prior to divination work , or periodically, for example when the moon waxes, to "raise" power, or in form of Conjure hands composed to give mastery over spiritual gifts. Dream pillows and/or bags and sachets to place under pillow are also very frequent.
Incenses are burned during readings, or divination tools may be smudged with them, for example Tarot decks , also practitioners/readers, burn incenses such as Sandalwood, or mixture of Camphor with Mint or Frankincense ( or both ) to raise spiritual vibrations , and increase their visionary talents, during the readings and divination work.
Candles are also quite often burnt, white, purple and pale blue mostly, and Psalms , such as 23rd and 42nd are read, though a heartfelt , sincere prayer to G'd for guidance would certainly be a great choice as well. Sometimes, it's favorable such work to be preceded with Cleansing or Road opening, or simply Power work.
Various symbols can be incorporated , in talismanic or amulet from to help in Hoodoo psychic related work. It's wise to note here that despite originating from classical grimoires, such symbols in Hoodoo were not used the same way they were/are in grimoire friendly traditions, such as High magick. Their power and proficiency would not be diminished, rather it would be used in another fashion.Now without further ado ( this is a practical magick blog lol ) let's go through few nifty Hoodoo tricks used in psychic work
Head wash for psychic workHead washing is as we may know, part of Voodoo culture, and could be the precursor of Hoodoo head washing tradition. Christians have similar practice, they incorporate in ba p tism ritual. In essence the goal in both cases is to cleanse, bless and initiate. Similar function they have in Hoodoo, more so when used in psychic work. Prior to divination, spiritual work or each day of the waxing Moon cycle , for seven days try using following formula to increase Your psychic talents:
· Bay Laurel leafs
· Anise seeds
· Five finger's grass
· Celery seeds
· Mugwort
· Hyssop
· Laundry bluing or blue food coloring ( optional , If adding try to use Laundry bluing rather than the latter )
It will help cleanse and soothe Your mind ( hence the Hyssop and Laundry bluing ) , while also enabling psychic empowerment, and assisting in attaining clear vision.
Psychic vision condition oil· Star Anise seeds
· Althaea roots
· Bay Laurel leaves
· Some nutmeg grinds
· Lemongrass essential oil
· Anise essential oil – just a few drops
· OPTIONAL: Jasmine essential oil
You can use Flax seed oil as base , and hence additionally empower the formula, though be sure to add a capsule of vitamin E or some liquid benzoin, to prolong it's shelf life. If You prefer so, both Star Anise an d bay Laurel may be used in form of oil ( essential ) rather than the seeds or leaves.
This is one of the formulas, You may encounter others containing also Tobacco, Ylang Ylang, Mallow leaves, Mugwort, Sandalwood , Frankincense and Camphor, Flax seeds, Celery seeds, Dandelion root and others .In case of baths Florida water can be added [2] or laundry bluing, which was already suggested in above headwash formula.
Prophetic dream ritual
This is desirable to be done on Monday or some night when the Moon is full. Try to refrain , for three days prior from carnal pleasures, smoking, alcohol, and If You can fast. If You decide to fast, on the last , that is third day ( which is when You will be performing the ritual itself ) have only water.On the third night take a bath with Hyssop and sea salt, over which You have read the 51st ( in some places 50th , "Cleanse me with Hyssop…" ) psalm , ideally with sincere remorse for the all Your sins. It would be of great utility to read the Psalm 13 times as You bathe, and to wash Your head 13 times.
Let Yourself air dry, dress in white clothes, preferably new ( they can be the cheapest clothes, as long as they have not been worn, they are washed, clean and tidy, even a white bathrobe will do ) , then wrap a new white towel around Your head. You may sprinkle it ( the towel ) with a dash of Florida water.On the altar place two white candles, and a censer with Frankincense, so the will form a triangle. In the center , place the Seal of the Power Angels, which is found in the Sixth book of Moses, and on the back of it You may write Your name. Place a purple candle over it, inscribe it with Divine name "YAH" and then dress it with "Psychic vision oil" anointing it, and rubbing from the top down, or from the ends to the middle of the candl e. Prepare a glass of pure water that will later serve as "night water" ( used in Hoodoo practice called "sleeping with water" ) and then light the white candles and the incense. For a few moments meditate on what You wish revealed to You in dreams. Ask kindly , aloud, G'd to send You the answer to about the question( state Your question, If You have a specific one )
Then light the purple candle and read the Psalm 23rd seven times;
"The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.5 You prepare a table before me
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name's sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name's sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever." [3]
Fill a small red bag with Mugwort, and maybe Anise seeds as well ( You can add Celery seeds to make that a "lucky three" ) and place bellow Your pillow.Place the Night water near Your bed ( night table for example ) and go to sleep. Record Your dreams If You need to.
For the sake of comparison, and personal preference, as an alternative to the above given ritual composed by myself, look up the classic ritual from "Grimoire Verrum" famed to induce the same effect, of which I wrote before .
Hope this information was useful, and interesting for You, I also wrote on ESP before, from a more …"general" perspective, yet nowhere it says a Hoodooist could/should not us e the methods described there . Aquamarine is among the stones used to strengthen various gifts, precognition , among them so You can look that up tooMany Blessings, Shadow J

Manufacture - Terrorvision - 1988
This was the first time I heard Sarah McLachlan, too. As the End Draws Near is by FAR the best song on the album. The music is good, not bad, but not close at all to SP. I tend to think that they weren't trying to sound like SP, as SP has a sound all it's own. I would put Manufacture's first album more in line with Front Line Assembly and the likes.
I have pretty much everything on here, let me know if I've missed anything....

The world's top producers of computer memory chips are embroiled in an apparent case of industrial espionage after South Korean prosecutors indicted 18 people over alleged technology theft. Prosecutors said Thursday those involved — including employees of U.S. company Allied Materials and its South Korean unit — are suspected of leaking semiconductor technology belonging to South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. to its domestic rival Hynix Semiconductor Inc.
The case highlights the intense competition among chipmakers and other sellers of high tech products, who frequently sue each other over alleged patent infringements. Samsung and Hynix are the world's top two producers of dynamic random access memory, or DRAM, chips, used mostly in personal computers. Suwon, South Korea-based Samsung is also the world's biggest manufacturer of NAND flash chips, used in digital devices such as cameras, music players and smartphones. Hynix ranks No. 3 in NAND, behind Samsung and Japan's Toshiba Corp.
Prosecutors indicted 18 people on Wednesday, though 14 were not physically detained ahead of trial, said Kim Yeong-cheol, a prosecutor handling the case. He said prosecutors were also seeking a former Samsung employee for questioning. The technology is believed to have been obtained by employees of the South Korean arm of Applied Materials Inc., a U.S. company that makes equipment for chip manufacturers including Samsung, and then passed on to Hynix, according to prosecutors.
The local operation of Applied Materials had access to Samsung's "core technology" through installing and maintaining the company's chip manufacturing equipment, prosecutors said in a statement Wednesday. Indicted and being held were one employee each from Samsung and Hynix, the former head of the South Korean arm of Applied Materials — who currently serves as a vice president of the U.S. company — and one of the South Korean unit's current employees, prosecutors said.
Kim, the prosecutor, said no decision has been made whether to seek extradition of a former Samsung employee who is working for Applied Materials in the United States. That person is suspected of leaking Samsung technology to Applied's South Korean arm, Kim said. Santa Clara, California-based Applied Materials said it was aware of the actions by prosecutors and confirmed that its vice president and some employees of Applied Materials Korea were indicted and detained.
"Applied believes that there are meritorious defenses to the charges and is taking appropriate measures to address this matter," the company said in a filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday.
"Applied has strict policies in place to protect the intellectual property of its customers, suppliers, competitors and other third parties, and takes any violation of these policies seriously," the company said. Samsung, meanwhile, said it was concerned over the case and Hynix expressed "great regret."
"We are very concerned by this transgression as it is likely to damage the semiconductor market," Samsung spokeswoman Lee Soo-jeong said. "We plan to take appropriate measures."
She said she could not confirm whether a Samsung employee had been arrested.
"Hynix expresses its great regret that our employees have gotten involved in this case," said spokeswoman Park Seong-ae. "We expect that the facts of the case shall be strictly investigated and clearly revealed."
Park confirmed the arrest of a Hynix executive in the case, but did not elaborate.

MOSCOW, June 10 (Itar-Tass) - The defense of former deputy prosecutor of the Moscow region Alexander Ignatenko is hoping that the Prosecutor General's Office will not endorse the indictment due to serious violations.
"In reading the criminal case materials, the defense found numerous violations of criminal procedural legislation, including the resolution to arraign Ignatenko dated February 20, 2013, about which he and his lawyers were informed on the same day, and a resolution issued on the same date attached to the criminal case with a different content," lawyer Alexander Asnis told Tass on Monday.
This fact alone warrants the return of the case to the Investigative Committee for additional probe.
Asnis claimed the investigators had violated the commitment to Poland not to bring more charges against Ignatenko.
"The appearance of new separate episodes in the criminal case violates the requirements of Article 14 of the European convention on extradition of 1957, as it makes impossible the endorsement of the indictment by the PGO and sending the case to the court," he noted.
He said the defense had reported the exposed violations of Russian and international legislation to the PGO and the Polish justice minister.
"We are hoping the PGO will not ignore these violations and that it will not endorse the indictment," Asnis said.
The case comprises about 50 volumes.
During preliminary investigation, Ignatenko refused to testify or take part in face-to-face interrogations.
Ignatenko is accused of taking large bribes worth over 33 million roubles. He denied wrongdoing insisting that he was "interested in ascertaining the truth in the case".
The former prosecutor was extradited to Russia from Poland on February 7, 2013.
The Investigative Committee accuses him under Article 290, Part 4 of Russia's Criminal Code /taking bribe worth over 33 million roubles by a group/. The criminal case over land fraud under Article 159 was dropped, as it was Poland's condition for extraditing the suspect to Russia.
In February 2011, the Federal Security Service reported that it had exposed an illegal gambling network in 15 towns of the region. It brought an estimated five to ten million dollars a year in revenue. The network had operated for some three years.
At least 12 former law-enforcement officials were suspects. Interpol issued a wanted notice for Ignatenko on charges of fraud and taking 47 million roubles in bribes from suspected masterminds of illegal gambling business. On January 1, 2012, the former prosecutor was detained by Poland's security agents as he was leaving the Zakopane resort where he had arrived several days before for reunion with his family. He spent a year in a Polish prison awaiting a ruling on his extradition.
In late October, 2012, Poland's justice minister said he had decided to extradite Ignatenko. The latter could only be tried on charges of corruption; Poland was not extraditing the suspect under the fraud charges, the minister said.
Under international norms, the extraditing country can impose such restriction if it doubts the correctness of the charges.

No matter how my day goes, however, at the end of every day I try to remember to give thanks.
Thanks that I have someone to love.
Thanks that I have a roof over my head.
Thanks that my family and I have enough food to eat.

2009 was another very busy year, with Holly's Donor Day capturing the hearts and minds of people all over the country. Team Jac braved gail force winds and icey rain to do the coastal walk and raise over £20,000 for LLTGL in May of that year, and the ever-inspiring Team Ethan joined the fight to raise funds and awareness, which they continue to do to this day, despite their gorgeous little boy loosing his fight just one month after his transplant. When the film My Sister's Keeper came out, Advocate Andrea Evans encouraged people to write to their local cinemas asking them to display donor leaflets in the foyer during the peroid that the film was shown. Andrea also managed to star in the Vodaphone "who would you donate your time to?" advert, getting Organ Donation a wonderful plug on TV! Emily featured in a short awareness film as well that year, entitled "I'd Give You One" after the cheeky LLTGL slogan T-shirt.
Our wonderful Jess was by then extremely ill and in September 2009, a twitter campaign entitled "Save Jess" was launched, which quickly gained attention of news channels and celebrities from across the UK. Following this, Save Jess-tival was swiftly created and took place in October, with the beautiful Natalie Imbruglia spearheading the event, and Jess taking her place as the inspirational and very special guest.
2010 started very sadly, when we lost our lovely Jess on January 12th. All at LLTGL were shaken by this hugely sad loss, but we knew we had to motivate ourselves to continue the fight that Jess had dedicated so much of her time and energy on. That year LLTGL Trustees attended several key talks and conferences, including the BTS conference, and the ETCO conference, where Emily addressed over 500 delegates from all over the globe. Yet more wonderful fundraising events took place, including Ts in the Park who selected LLTGL as the charity to benefit from their event that year. That Christmas, our Tor's Xmas Wish twitter campaign got attention from a variety of celebrities including Philip Schofield, Sarah Brown, and Peter Jones.
As well as these key events, LLTGL continues to regularly run media campaigns, support transplant patients, run educational talks and presentations, give talks as guest speakers at a variety of events, distribute Robyn's Rainbows, and many other things on a day to day basis.
None of the work we have done over the last 3 years would have been possible without the help and support of so many people. From past Trustees who have helped us achieve so much, to volunteers who give up their time and energy to support us in what we do - our charity is strong because of you.
We are excited and optimistic about the next three years, and hoping that they will be even bigger, even brighter, and even more successful.
With love and thanks to all our wonderful supporters,
The LLTGL Trustees

Team sports are good for kids, right…?
Sports like soccer, baseball, basketball and lacrosse provide kids with regular exercise, which is good for maintaining a healthy weight, bone development, coordination, and even improved performance in school (read these NY Times articles: How Exercise Fuels the Brain and Can Exercise Make Kids Smarter?) Team sports also teach kids important lessons about sportsmanship, being "coachable," and the importance of being a good team player.
So some parents might be scratching their heads wondering why their child actually gains weight during the soccer or softball season? The dreaded "snack" schedule could be to blame. A recent study revealed that kids who participate in team sports consume more junk food than those that do not, read Huffington Post article Do Kids Who Play Team Sports Eat More Junkfood? Check out the sugar and calorie counts of some typical "snacks" that can follow those sports, and it will become crystal clear. You don't have to be a mathlete to figure this one out – an 85 pound kid can burn anywhere from 180 calories an hour playing a sport like softball or baseball to just over 400 calories an hour playing full court basketball. But all of that can quickly come unraveling when well-intentioned parents roll out the post-game snacks, which typically can range anywhere from 250-500 calories. Not to mention the amount of artificial colors, trans fats, MSG, and sugar kids are getting after the game. Some experts have linked food dyes to ADD and other behavior problems, read more.
Typical Snack #1:
Totals: 390 calories, 11 g. fat, 46 g. of sugar (over 10 teaspoons), 5 different kinds of artificial colors, and MSG.
Made-Over Snack #1:
Totals: 165 calories, 4 g. of fat, 9 g. of sugar. This made-over snack saves 225 calories, has close to 1/3 the fat, less than one fifth the sugar, and none of the artificial colors or MSG.
Typical Snack #2:
Totals: 260 calories, 3 g. of fat, 41 g. of sugar., high fructose corn syrup, red 40, blue 1
Made Over Snack #2:
Totals: 235 calories, 2.5 g. of fat, 23.9 g. of sugar (some naturally-occurring). Saves 25 calories, and over 17 g. of sugar, and none of the artificial colors or high fructose corn syrup. Provides some fiber and antioxidants too.
Typical Snack # 3: The birthday/post-game snack. Inevitably it will be someone's birthday during the season – why not celebrate with donuts or cupcakes after the soccer game? This is why…
Totals: 390 calories, 16 g. fat, 53 g. of sugar (over 13 teaspoons!). Contains trans fats, artificial colors and caffeine.
Made-Over Snack #3: You can still celebrate a birthday with a fun snack for the soccer team, just ditch the store-bought cupcakes for some healthier choices that won't provide a whopping 400+ calories, and 3 days worth of added sugars and trans fats. Here are a number of options that are healthier and still fun:
If you don't believe me that these are typical post-game snacks, check out Soccer Mom on a Mission's Video. Notice everything from Krispy Kremes to rice crispy treats…
Get the Whole Team on Board
So what is a health conscious parent to do? Avoid team sports all together? Grab their kid and run before the snacks come out? Or just speak up and request that snacks be healthy, or that each parent simply brings snack for their own child? It's not always easy to be "that parent" that always is speaking up about this kind of thing. But more often than not, other parents are thinking the same thing, and are grateful that someone spoke up. And sometimes, parents don't realize how many calories, artificial colors, trans fats, and sugar they are feeding kids. The first step to change is always – AWARENESS.
Unfortunately, no kid wants their parent to be the only one that brings 'healthy' snacks after a game, when everyone else is bringing donuts and cupcakes and sodas. But when the whole team agrees to bring healthy snacks, then no one parent has to stand out as the one that only brings 'healthy' food. When the whole team agrees to follow this plan, everyone benefits – and it could even be the difference between winning the trophy, or missing it by an inch.
A few seasons ago, I was so grateful to Nora, the team mom for my son's baseball team. She sent out an email at the beginning of the season requesting that all snacks be healthy and should help to "power up" the kids, not cause a sugar rush and drop. And instead of the snack coming out at the end of the game – just as everyone was heading off to dinner, she suggested that they should come out in the dugout around inning 4 or 5. That way, they could boost their energy to get through the rest of the game. Guess what? Their team made it all the way to the championship – winning the pennant that year. How much the healthier snacks contributed, we can't be sure. But I can bet that professional baseball players don't celebrate their games with donuts and sodas, or cupcakes and juice boxes.
Hungry Kids Will Eat…Pretty Much Whatever Is Around!
One of the oldest tricks in the book is to put out the healthy foods when kids are the hungriest – and after a hard game of soccer or basketball, they are going to be hungry. Why not take advantage of it – and put out oranges, bananas, raisins, and other healthy snacks? This is a great approach for a picky eater too (read 20 Tips for Picky Eaters for more). Our soccer coach a couple of seasons ago requested orange slices for a half time boost – and all the kids happily gobbled them up each game. In fact, my daughter didn't like orange slices until that season – now she loves them because that was what was offered, she was really hungry/thirsty, and all her teammates we gobbling them down. Oranges are a wonderful snack for hard working athletes, they hydrate, provide natural sugars to replace lost glycogen/energy, and provide important lost minerals. When healthy snacks come out during or after the game, kid's bodies will feel and function better, and they will come to expect those kind of snacks instead of the junk food.
Treat Kids Like Athletes
So instead of the donuts, rice crispy treats, and cupcakes; the flavor-blasted chips and Cheez Its; the brightly colored sports drinks and sodas, and sticky sweet fruit treats and candies…let's try to think about what we reach for after a workout, or what an athlete chooses. When we start to think about our kids as little athletes, and not just kids; that is when we start to feed them better post game snacks. Some good snack "rules":
Post-game snacks should rehydrate (without artificial colors), replace lost energy & glycogen stores (without overflowing them), and help the body/muscles to heal and recover. Junk food promotes inflammation, which works against recovery. Too much sugar gets stored as fat. Artificial colors and trans fats just aren't needed or good for their hard-working bodies. Who knows? Healthy snacks could be the difference between making the All Stars Team, and well, not.
Thank you so much to the parents, coaches, team moms, and bloggers/writers that are speaking up, spreading the word and offering healthy post-game snacks. Please put your ideas for healthy snacks in the comments below.
We can all either be part of the solution, or part of the problem. Which team are you on? I think Taylor Mali put it best in his poem, An Apple a Day is Not Enough.

These are great suggestions to improve your kids health. A lot of it comes down to moderation. An unhealthy snack every once in awhile won't hurt but when it's every day or on a regular basis then it can be damaging to your health.

Global Food Security programme Champion Tim Benton summarises specially commissioned GFS reports on the topic.
Rarely a week goes by without there being news of weather records being broken.
We have recently had the hottest June recorded across four continents. The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) trumpeted that in a single week in February 2185 local weather records were broken as an unmoving ridge of high pressure kept the US west coast unseasonably hot, and the east coast unseasonably cold.
In 2012, a seminal paper 'A decade of extremes' tied events such as heatwaves to the human influence on climate, and the incidence of extremes continues to accelerate.
The figure below shows data from the 'disasters database' and shows the exponential increases in weather-related natural disasters. Associated with these trends, of course, are the mounting toll of human costs in terms of damage, displacement and death.
The extreme team
A couple of years ago, the UK's former Chief Scientific Adviser Sir John Beddington asked us to consider the resilience of the UK food system to weather impacts. It was a very timely request because the report was written during the wettest summer ever when the weather's impacts on UK agriculture were obvious.
Our previous report (PDF 874KB) stimulated some considerable debate and discussion as it highlighted the growing trends in extreme weather and the way that it could impact upon agriculture – in the field and in the supply chain. Furthermore, we pointed out that the globalised food system meant events elsewhere in the globe can create impacts on our food system just as much as events in the UK. (See also our Insight: Severe Weather, PDF 1.5MB).
Colleagues in the Climate Change team in the UK Foreign Office asked me to pop in and discuss the way that food, food prices and climate could interact to affect life in countries around the world. This is a topic of crucial interest given the plethora of analyses that have linked food price rises to civil unrest in unstable economies. They provided money through their Science and Innovation Network (SIN), with close involvement of Dr Jack Westwood from SIN at the UK Consulate in Chicago, to set up a working group to examine the issues in a bit more detail.
We brought together a team from industry, policy and academia, with specialists on climate, trade, international development, the food system and the environment. Over six months and with two meetings in London and Chicago, the UK-US Taskforce developed a conceptual framework for thinking about the resilience of the global food system to extreme weather.
The risks are increasing
Firstly, we looked at the way weather impacts on food systems and asked "are the risks increasing?" We found evidence that the global food system is vulnerable to production shocks caused by extreme weather, and that this risk is growing. Although much more work needs to be done to reduce uncertainty, preliminary analysis of the limited existing data suggests that the risk of a 1-in-100 year event acting on agriculture is likely to increase to 1-in-30 or more by 2040. A 1-in-100 year event is about the equivalent of loss of 5-10% of the world's calories.
We then developed a scenario for a plausible worst case. From a climatological perspective, two years stand out in recent years for being very high impact: 1988/9 where maize and soybean was seriously affected by drought in the US mid-West, and 2002/3 when rice and wheat were affected in Eastern Europe and Western Asia.
Our plausible worst case scenario was built around both these events happening together. Given this potential for a food production shock, we then catalogued how different stakeholders in industry and different countries might respond. From this, we could flesh out a scenario of production shocks and market and policy responses. This was then used to stimulate thinking about how the responses would lead to impacts on people through changing prices and availability of food.
From these four reports arise five key areas for action.
Understand the risks better
More research is needed to understand and quantify the risks. Our assessment is that they are non-trivial and increasing, but our knowledge of how extreme weather may be connected across the world, and hence the precise probability of multiple bread basket failures, is limited by available model simulations. Modelling limitations also constrain our ability to understand how production shocks translate into short run price impacts.
Extreme weather and resilience of the global food system
This synthesis report presents evidence that the global food system is vulnerable to production shocks caused by extreme weather, and that this risk is growing. Preliminary analysis suggests that the risk of multi-breadbasket failure from extreme weather will triple, going from a 1-in-100 year event to a 1-in-30 year event by 2040. A number of recommendations are made to improve resilience of the food system.

Explore opportunities for coordinated risk management
As knowledge emerges regarding plausible worst case scenarios, it will be possible for governments, international institutions and businesses to develop contingency plans and establish early warning systems with agreed response protocols. Other opportunities include coordinated management of emergency and/or strategic reserves.
Resilience taskforce sub report – Annex A: Climate and global crop production shocks
This report presents a set of scenarios for weather-driven production shocks that are plausible in the present or near future climate. This work highlights the risks extreme weather poses to global food production, recommending further investigation into the meteorological teleconnections between major food production regions and the probability of coincident shocks in multiple breadbaskets.
(You can view PDF documents by downloading a PDF reader. We recommend using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox web browsers.)
Improve the functioning of international markets
History demonstrates that the actions of market participants in response to production losses, or the behaviours of other actors, are a crucial determinant of price impacts. Other problems that can exacerbate price spikes include low levels of stocks relative to consumption, poor transparency of market information and physical limitations on trade such as infrastructural constraints.
Resilience taskforce sub report – Annex B: Review of the responses to food production shocks
Impacts of extreme weather-related food production shocks can be heightened by protective policy responses that further amplify price volatility and market shocks. Through data analysis, literature reviews and expert interviews this report puts forward potential government and market responses to food production shocks in major crops that might create a more resilient food system.
(You can view PDF documents by downloading a PDF reader. We recommend using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox web browsers.)
Bolster national resilience to market shocks
Governments should also consider policies to bolster national resilience to international market shocks. This is a particularly important policy agenda for import dependent developing countries with high numbers of poor food consumers, and/or high risk of political instability. The precise mix of appropriate policy measures will vary according to national context.
Resilience taskforce sub report – Annex C: Country Level Impacts of Global Grain Production Shocks
This report examines the impacts of potential extreme weather-related shocks to global grain production at a country level. Key recommendations include encouraging countries to take measures to reduce their exposure to grain production shocks, and more public-private partnerships to play a role in lessening the impact.
(You can view PDF documents by downloading a PDF reader. We recommend using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox web browsers.)
Adapt agriculture for a changing climate
Agriculture faces a triple challenge. Productivity must be increased by reversing declines in yield growth and closing the gap between actual and attainable yields in the developing world, whilst also reducing its environmental impact. However, given the increasing risk of extreme weather, this cannot come at the expense of production resilience. Increases in productivity, sustainability and resilience to climate change are required. This will require significant investment from the public and private sectors, as well as new cross-sector collaborations.

text: Hi Folks - I've got a 40GB AppleTV that I'm looking to integrate into the stereo that is built into my home. The thought was to simply cable in the L/R audio into the head unit and control the device via one of the iPhones, iPod or iPad in the house using the Remote application. In my basic mock-up testing, this works like a champ. My issue arises when it comes to streaming sources. I have my Macbook Pro set up on the AppleTV as a streaming source and it works perfectly. However, when you fire up the Remote application, there does not appear to be any way to access those souces except via the on-screen AppleTV menu. It's puzzling, though, since if you go to 'Whats Playing' on the Remote app, it shows you the artwork and you can control the current album or playlist! So, the guts to do what I want are clearly there. Since we have multiple iTunes libraries in the house (and you can only sync one with the AppleTV), this seemed like the best approach. Is what I am asking for impossible, or do I just have the setup botched? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a ton. -Craig

This network graph is focused on conveying the importance of Günter Grass, the German-Kashubian novelist and essay in the process of the Social Democratic Party's (SDP) network in 1969, the year the SDP won control of the Bundestag and began the Grand Coalition with the Free Democratic Party, which lasted until 1982. Essentially, Grass did not possess a great number of connections – only about three. However, one is to Willy Brandt, the leader of the SDP and future Chancellor of Germany (Helmut Schmidt, who is also represented here would precede Brandt as Chancellor.) Through Grass' connection with Brandt, he is able to express influence disproportionate to his relative connectivity.
This graph also includes the Chair of the Christian Democratic Union/Christian Social Union Chairman (CDU/CSU), Kurt-Georg Kiesenger and Free Democratic Party (FDP) chairman, Walter Scheel. The intent here is to show the proximity Brandt (and therefore Grass) had to other political organizations.
- A line denotes a connection
- SDP members are in red
- CDU/CSU members are in blue
- FDP members are in gold

Document Type
Journal of Law, Economics and Policy, Vol. 10, 2013
The approaching 75th anniversary of Erie v. Tompkins permits a critical reassessment of Justice Brandeis's landmark opinion. This article joins the growing body of critical academic literature, focusing on the implausibility of the claimed reasons for overturning Swift v. Tyson. Erie's claim to safeguard a constitutional place for state law rings hollow when seen in historic perspective, especially if one looks at the underlying question of the role of common law tort claims to control railroad accidents. While the doctrinal claims of Erie may not hold up, the concern about the regulatory consequences of federal court prohibitory injunctions continues to resonate. The article tries to resuscitate this aspect of Erie, perhaps best understood as the Progressive response to the perceived excesses of the Lochner period. Read this way, the concerns of Erie continue to manifest themselves in current controversies over claims of implied preemption, despite the doctrinal distance from the actual doctrinal claims of Erie itself.

I'm still chipping away at The Empress Holds the Key. I'm currently at 72%, so hopefully it won't take me too much longer to complete.
I also started reading A Man Called Ove, this past week. I am considering joined a local book club and this is the first book chosen. I'm not sure how much I will be able to commit to the club, or if I will even be able to attend the monthly meet-ups, but I like the idea of connecting with other book lovers in my community.
Have you ever read A Man Called Ove? If so what did you think of it?
Hope you all have a wonderful week.

Cattle Breeds Native to America
The Beefalo
The beefalo is an all-American breed of cattle (or bison) developed by crossing the American bison or buffalo with domestic cattle breeds.
As early as the mid 1800s, Charles Goodnight was crossing bison and cattle. He called his animals cattalo. Charles Jesse 'Buffalo' Jones also bred cattalo in 1888. Buffalo Jones was endeavouring to breed bovines that would survive the blizzards which whipped through his area.
However, despite repeated attempts, breeders ran into several problems. Male bison over domestic cows resulted in few calves and domestic bulls over bison females resulting in fertile female calves but infertile bull calves. At long last in 1965 Jim Burnett of Montana found a fertile hybrid bull among his calves. Finally the Beefalo looked like developing into a commercial enterprise.Credit: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bison_bison_004.jpg
The general hope when crossing two breeds is to produce progeny which have the best attributes of both parents. This doesn't always happen and sometimes it's the more undesirable traits that appear. But in the case of the beefalo, the outcome of crossing bovines and bison was positive. The bison provided hardiness, ease of calving, meat quality and foraging abilities while the domestic breed provided the fertility, better milk production and a less volatile temperament. As well, hybrid vigour and genetic strength were imparted to the offspring.
There are several bovine breeds being used to produce beefalos. Older established breeds such as Angus, Brahman and Hereford are used as are some newer breeds which are themselves the result of crossbreeding. The Droughtmaster and Brangus are two of these. The true beefalo is 3/8 bison and 5/8 bovine. If an animal has more than 3/8 bison it is known as a 'bison hybrid'.Credit: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Angus_cattle_13.jpg
American bison are past masters at foraging and can thrive on land which would not be considered for domestic cattle. Severe climatic conditions such as famine and drought have produced genetically sound and physically tough animals. Although the calves are small at birth, they are vigorous. They begin grazing at a relatively early age and grow more quickly than their bovine counterparts. Sexual maturity occurs later than in some European breeds but they then reproduce over a longer period, bearing more calves in their lifespan.
Some of the more outstanding features of the beefalo are:
- Hardiness – the double coats and more numerous sweat glands of the beefalo (most of them) gives them greater tolerance of both hot and cold conditions.
- Lower production costs – a strong constitution, resistance to disease, adaptability, longevity and foraging abilities mean less money and time spent on husbandry issues.
- Resistance to disease
- Faster growth rates – beefalo calves begin to graze at a younger age than bovine calves thus weight gain is faster.
- Longer productive life – beefalo females can be expected to raise at least fourteen calves during their productive life.
- Cross breeding – hybrid vigour is increased by using beefalos in a cross-breeding program. The offspring will be tougher with heavier weaning weights, greater longevity and greater resistance to disease.
- Lower fat ratios – beefalos have lower levels of cholesterol and fats. The meat has a higher protein level, less calories and lower levels of total fats and saturated fats. Internal and intramuscular fat (marbling) is lower. These all add up to a healthier product for today's discerning customers.
- Less calving problems – lower birth weights would seem to indicate that weaning and yearling weights would not be acceptable but because beefalo calves start grazing early, good weights are obtained at an early age. Depending on the domestic breed, birth weights can be anywhere between 45 and 85 pound.
- Good conversion – the bison factor results in good conversion of even poor quality roughage into meat.
- A quieter disposition inherited from domestic cattle means the beefalo is easier to handle.
In 2001, the Beefalo Society of Australia was formed with the goal of promoting Beefalo and keeping ahigh standard of strict rules and regulations regarding the term 'BEEFALO' and the exchange of information and genetics.
Unfortunately, in 2005, due to the severe drought and high insurance costs plus other factors, the 'incorporated' status of the Society was discontinued. However the Society continues and has a system of DNA fingerprinting of all breeding Beefalo animals.
In the United States, the interests of the Beefalo are managed by the American Beefalo Association (ABA) (which maintains the Herdbook registry), the Beefalo Ancestry Registry and the Beefalo Meat Registry.

Any activity has an input-process-output sequence. For example, for preparing milk shake, milk, sugar and flavour are the input. These things are processed in a mixer and the milk shake is the final output.
Example of Human Beings
When the teacher asks the student to ADD 5 & 2. It forms an input to the student. The addition is performed in the brain of the student - process When the result is spoken out by the student, it forms the output
1.2 What is a computer?
Computer is a data processing tool. It takes Data and commands as input. Computer processes the data according to the commands and provides the resulting information as an output.
1.3 Where do you use a computer?
Computers are used at various places for example:
LIBRARIES: Computers are used in the library for producing and maintaining catalogue of the available books. They are also used by the members to search for their topics in the available books. The computers are also used for maintaining the records of the members.
RAILWAYS: Computers are used for reservation of tickets.
AIRPORTS: Computers are used in flying the aeroplanes.
OFFICES: Computers are used in offices to handle the routine office work.
What is hardware and software?
The physical components of a computer are called the hardware. The component that can be touched will come under hardware. All the electronic, electrical and mechanical parts that make a computer are called the hardware. For example, keyboard, monitor, computer chips, system box, etc are the hardware of the computer.
Software is the set of instructions, which run the hardware of the computer. The hardware components of the computer act according to the instructions. These instructions are called the software. In a story book, paper and the ink are the hardware. The story or the meaning conveyed to the reader is the software. Software is the ingredient that set up a computer to perform a certain operation. Brings the machine to life. Data and instructions form the software.
There are four components of a computer:
1. Input devices
2. Output devices
3. Processing unit
4. Memory
2.1 Input Devices: Input devices are those devices that we use to send information into the computer.
Common input devices are:
A.Keyboard: It is a board with 104 keys on it. These keys are divided into four sections: Number keypad, intermediate keypad, typewriter keys and function keys. In the past the keyboard had only 84 keys. This keyboard did not have the intermediate keypad. There also was a keyboard with 101 keys.
B.Mouse: This is a pointing device. This device fits under the palm of the hand and has two or three buttons. As we move the mouse on the table, the mouse pointer moves on the screen. The pressing of the mouse button is called clicking the mouse button. Clicking a mouse button twice quickly is called double click.

Housing Assistance (Watch)
HB 301 (Cortes J.) creates a local government risk mitigation program through a local government's housing assistance plan for counties and municipalities participating in the State Housing Initiatives Partnership program. The program is intended to provide a mechanism for a landlord of affordable housing rentals units to offset out-of-pocket losses incurred from property damage or unpaid rent by tenants.
This bill specifies that up to 10 percent of the funds used to reserve rental houses for eligible persons may be set aside to fund the program if the local government provides an equivalent percentage of local matching funds. The bill establishes monetary caps that may be awarded to a landlord under the program. The Florida Housing Finance Corporation is directed to develop guidelines to administer the program, including requirements for submission of claims to the appropriate local government. A local government is required to review a properly submitted claim within two days. (Branch)
The Florida League of Cities is the united voice for Florida's municipal governments. Its goals are to serve the needs of Florida's cities and promote local self-government.
The League was founded on the belief that local self-government is the keystone of American democracy.

Teage's Christmas Tips
Posted: 02 December 2016 By Teage Ezard
Ever wondered what Christmas day is like at home with Chef Teage? Read on!
"In my many travels throughout Asia, I've seen first-hand how central the shared dining experience is to Asian food culture. Wherever you go, Asian food all about sharing food with family and friends, which makes it especially great for Christmas lunch.
My family always loves an Asian twist on their Christmas feast, and seafood has always been a huge part of the food I've done at home and at work. We're so lucky to have such an abundance of amazingly fresh seafood right on our doorstop, it just makes sense to incorporate it into a Christmas spread.
For me, celebratory mud crab is perfect for an Aussie Christmas - and so much more exciting than the standard prawn offering. The corn cakes and coconut rice are firm favourites on the Gingerboy menu and make great accompaniments here."
Now that you've read what Teage has to say, click below to get cracking with the recipe! If you really want to impress, grab some more recipes from Melbourne's other top chefs thanks to East & Co!

London: British lawmakers say the country's intelligence agencies, which inspired James Bond, are not doing enough to promote real-life Jane Bonds.
A report on women in the intelligence services says female staff are being held back by a layer of middle managers, dubbed "the permafrost," who have "a very traditional male mentality and outlook."
The report published Thursday by Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee said that women make up 37 percent of the workforce at domestic spy service MI5, overseas intelligence agency MI6 and electronic eavesdropping center GCHQ. But women account for only 19 percent of senior staff.
The report said the agencies should do more to recruit and promote female staff, including targeting women with children through the popular online forum Mumsnet.

The developing countries of Africa have all lower literacy rates. No wonder, why these countries are infamous for criminal activities. Nigeria is a country despite a commendable economic growth, charts low on the educational arena.
Lack of education or you can say improper and ineffective education system is doing only harm to this country rich in so many natural resources. Poverty is rapid compelling younger lots to get indulged in criminal activities as they are quite vulnerable in such situations.
The only way to add to the quality of living and upsizing economy is an effective education system. Despite government funding the basic education, attendance in schools remains below satisfactory. A countywide mission to make people aware about the goods of education could awake the pupil.
As far as higher education is concerned, number of foreign assistance has come to the rescue of education system in country. Several eminent UK Universities are on the fray to provide quality higher education to students from Nigeria. People have started following the new and innovative idea for imparting education, online distance learning courses.
Thanks to these eminent UK Universities which have incepted this contemporary idea in the Nigerian education system. Availing higher education has not remained at all a tough task for the pupil. Several courses are offered to students from the country transforming their career big way.
These courses are prepared by the distinguished educationalists from the universities. Flexibility of such courses is the key reason for thriving of distance learning in Nigeria, as it does not engages students for a long period.
Let's hope that good senses keep on flowing in the minds of Nigerian people and one day, they too see themselves as an economic and educational super power.

He needn't have worried. After a quick move to a center table, away from the one directly beneath the stereo speaker, the tension dissipates and the surrounding world melts away, barely registering as Littleton and Mitchell, both 39, discuss their past, their family, and their excellent band's beautiful seventh album, Lovers Prayers (2008, Polyvinyl Record Co.). Ida, it seems, can find the quiet in any situation. A crucial quality for a group that came of age in the world capital of noise, New York City, to make some of the most brazenly soft and intensely moving sounds in indie rock.
"It's true, we were pretty incongruous with most of the rock scene in New York. But we kind of liked it that way, being different," muses guitarist and singer Littleton. "Our music is, I guess you'd say, a lot more pastoral. Liz and I are definitely attracted to more stripped-down stuff. We love to hear the space between the sounds, and I think our own music has actually gotten even more spare these last few years."
Critics commonly chuck Ida in a ghetto they call sadcore, a subset also reserved for such non-Gotham acts as American Music Club, Red House Painters, Low, and the late Elliot Smith, varied artists who all happen to play poignant music at glacial tempos. Yet despite the often heartrending moods that Ida's songs share with those of the above, Littleton and Mitchell's music is out of place in this grouping, too, thanks in part to their referencing of traditional folk styles; over the years, the acoustic-based band has covered Bill Monroe, Leadbelly, the Carter Family, and other such immortals, a method mostly at odds with its supposed genre mates, who tend to be darker and less roots-conscious.
Which leads to another paradoxical aspect of Ida's oeuvre: children's music. The group has released one album of kid-oriented folk songs (covers of Woody Guthrie, Elizabeth Cotton, et al.) under its own banner, You Are My Little Flower (1999, Last Affair), while Mitchell has released two, You Are My Sunshine (2002, Last Affair) and You Are My Little Bird (2006, Smithsonian Folkways), efforts she describes as "solo records in name only; they're really Ida records since they have all the same people playing on them." (Mitchell and other children's musicians were profiled in the January 2007 issue of Chronogram; the singer, guitarist, and harmonium player is currently at work on a new children's album.)
And here's one more curveball for those who think they have this gentle, melancholy combo all figured out: Littleton's own roots are in hardcore punk. As an active participant in his native Washington, DC, area's underground scene, he performed with proto-emo quartet the Hated and cites the city's legendary Bad Brains as a lifelong influence for their genre-spanning punk/reggae approach. (Bad Brains, now based in Woodstock, were profiled in the November 2007 issue of Chronogram.) "Part of the DC hardcore doctrinaire is to be open to many types of music," Littleton explains. "So when I eventually connected with artists like Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake, and Sweet Honey in the Rock, what I got from them was just as 'hardcore' as what was behind [infamous punk outfit] MDC's music."
After the Hated broke up, Littleton played in several other bands before eventually moving to Boston. There, through a mutual friend in 1990 he met Mitchell, who was then a student at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, and a habitué of the local coffeehouse folk circuit. The pair stayed in touch and began dating the following year, and after Mitchell started teaching nursery school in Brooklyn, Littleton moved there to join her. With no grand plans, the couple began capturing their musical collaborations on "super lo-fi" tapes intended only for friends.
One of these friends, however, was indie icon Jenny Toomey of the influential quartet Tsunami and the co-founder of seminal label Simple Machines. Spotting something magical through the hiss of Mitchell and Littleton's cassettes, Toomey was keen to see the couple get their project out of the apartment and into the clubs and the studio. "Dan and Elizabeth are such spectacular songwriters and singers," says Toomey, who went on from performing to become executive director of musicians advocacy group the Future of Music Coalition and is now a program officer at the Ford Foundation. "A lot of music from [the early '90s] doesn't hold up now, but the early Ida stuff still sounds great. It's definitely lasting music."

Orthopaedics Q&A: Treating rotator cuff
Orthopaedics expert, Dr VV Prasad answers readers' questions on bone health. Get your doubts cleared and see them featured on our FAQ page every Monday.
This week's answers:
Hi there,
I am hoping to get some clarification regarding proper procedure of a diagnostic shoulder arthroscopy.
This is in reference to a arthroscopy I had in 2011 that was intended to address complaints of night time anterior instability, biceps pain, posterior pain, and pain on the outside edge of the arm. There was also a planned distal clavical resection and subacromial decrompression based on MRI and XRAY findings.
I had a history of multidirectional instability, posterior labral tear due to a traumatic injury. It should be noted that the performing surgeon had operated on this shoulder previously, so history was known.
So the procedure starts and according to the op report there was a single posterior portal established for the scope, the scope was inserted, there was mild DJD noted then he just reported that all of the other structures appeared intact and that there was no SLAP tear. The report then moves on to the subacromial procedures.
There was no mention of any stability tests or exam under anesthesia, no anterior portal established, no diagnostic probing or posterior visualization from a anterior portal.
This my question……you have a patient with a history of multidirectional instability which has required 2 surgeries prior, you have visual evidence of DJD on the glenoid, posterior inferior labrum abnormality, and slight fraying on the anterior labrum and biceps tendon (Ill attach the scope pics)…..all of this plus the complaints of instability, night pain, biceps pain, posterior pain, and lateral humeral pain. So we have all of these issues, but you don't establish a anterior portal and probe the structures that showing possible injury? My question is wouldn't it be somewhat standard to probe the labrum, biceps, capsule, and articular surfaces if you have any indicators of injury?
The second part of this story is that my symptoms remained after I recovered from surgery and I ended up having surgery 2 weeks ago by a different doctor where I was found to be grossly unstable anteriorly and posteriorly, a SLAP tear present, posterior capsule laxity, a large anterior bankhart tear, and both glenoid and humeral head chondromalasia……..so I cant help but wonder if this last surgery could have been avoided or at least limited if a proper arthroscopic exam had been performed. I know that's very subjective and I wouldn't expect you to comment on that, but as far as the diagnostic scope, would you agree that a anterior portal and probing we processes that would have been warrented based on history, complaints, and visual presentation?
I appreciate any feedback you are able to provide and appreciate your time spent with this.
Nat Haskell
Dear sir,
its only the style of the surgeon. All surgeons don't use all the portals. When the surgeon is satisfied with what he sees then he doesn't need another portal. As you rightly said this issue is purely subjective. you ask opinion to 4 doctors Iám sure you will get 16 different opinions. all you need now is a pain free stable shoulder. But sometimes even in the best of hands the patient may be still left out with residual pain and instability. I think with this recent surgery you will get a good result.
She have pain in both knee , pain is shifting in nature one knee toanother, no swelling, tenderness in knee . please suggest the expecting diagnosis she have.. we have consults more doctors in delhi, they all have different opinions. But no relief to anyboby. She is taking diclofenac an calcitrol satchet.
name. sulekha
age. 60 y
Your complaints are more towards arthritis of knee. Can you please mail me a JPEG of the X-ray.
Hi Sir,
I am 31 years old IT engineer from Delhi. I am suffering from spondylitis and lower backache. In the past when I suffered with first pain for spondylitis, i got MR injection due to which my stiffed neck worked fine for few days but now there is a light pain continuously. Please let me know the medicine or the right exercise with which I can get rid of these 2 problems.
Do you get early morning pains. Have you done the blood test for HLA-B-27. Please send me those reports.
Dear Sir,
I am 47 year old, my BMI is normal, I do rigorous fitness exercises regularly do not have any problem what so ever and leading a healthy life. My question is I am running on a tread mill at a speed of 9 to 10kms p.h for 15 minutes and walk for about 10 minutes, I do not have any issues, but people are advising me to not jog, please advice,
Tirumalacnc Elango
Its better not to jog on a treadmill. the amount of stress your knee takes whenever your foot lands on the treadmill is enormous. I think its better for you to walk on a treadmill and to take a jog outside. this will prevent your knees from faster degeneration.
hi sir,
i got a injury 2 years while pulling weight in the gym..i took therapy and left gym for certain time..then it was ok..but again i started gym and i started to pull heavy weight..i again started to have pain on my rotator cuff..so i feels pain in bench press in chest exercise and in shoulder exercise. i am not to able to balance rod in heavy weight.kindly provide me a solution.
Aman Senwal
I understood that you had rotator cuff injury. what investigation have you done? did your MRI show any complete tear of the rotator cuff? If yes you need to surgically repair it then undergo physiotherapy. if you rotator cuff is intact you need good exercises to improve your shoulder strength.

I grew up in Eldersburg at a time when there were many pastures and no franchise restaurants. In the early years, cows grazed in the field behind my house.
Later on, the barbed wire that had once kept the cows confined simply stood between my yard and a field of corn. I climbed over that wire hundreds of times to look for a ball that had gone astray.
By this time of the year, baseball was the game of choice. Home plate and the pitcher's mound were hard dirt; grass had long ago stopped trying to grow there, despite my dad's many attempts.
I was the youngest and smallest of the group who played; most of the boys were friends with my older brother. Though I remember thinking I was a good ball player, I realize now that whatever team I was on had a disadvantage.
We played on summer evenings until we couldn't see the ball anymore. Then, when summer faded to fall we put the bats away and changed the game.
When no one else was around, I would play football alone. I'd hike the ball to myself and drop back to toss a pass into the air. It would fly just far enough for me to catch it, and then I would run until an imaginary foe tackled me. I know my mom must have wondered how I got grass stains playing alone, but she never asked.
Those were the years when I learned to play, to use my imagination and to dream about doing something special. And as I braved the older opponents and all the risks that come with dreaming, my mother was always there, waiting for me to need her.
She had the perfect lap, the perfect smile and the perfect way of showing me the one thing we all need to know; I was loved.
When I began running in high school, I discovered the pure sport that exists between the lines that start and end a race. Most times, my mom was there to watch, even though I had begun to pull away.
I don't know how to describe it exactly, but I remember feeling an instinctive need to rid myself of the emotional dependence. And, in perhaps the most heroic gesture a mom can ever make, she let me go.
In the years that followed, running deepened my personal identify. I grew stronger and more confident. Solitary runs gave me freedom. I formed values that I could believe in, values that still live today.
Now more than ever, I know her mother's love is eternal. She never stopped worrying about me or wanting me to be happy. And, whether I needed her or not, she has always been there.
Someday, many years from now, I'll finish a run just as dusk settles in the cool evening air. I'll close my eyes and hear the laughter of boys still playing in the yard, and then her voice, calling me inside.
