A recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association compared three diets: low-fat, low-carb and low-glycemic. In the short term, the low-fat diet was the "loser" in weight loss and the low-carb the clear winner, but the low-glycemic diet was the best diet for the long term.
And the long term is important because, on average, only 1 out of 6 people who lose weight have kept that weight loss after a year. But why was the low-glycemic diet the best long term? Mike Rogers, a participant in the study who kept off the 40 pounds he lost, said that there was a huge difference between the three diets. He says "the low-glycemic diet reminded me of the way my mom and grandmom cooked while I was growing up; I felt far better on the low-glycemic diet than on either of the other two."
While I think that there are some problems with the glycemic index chart (such as over-simplification), a commonsense diet that includes a lot of whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and avoiding processed foods just makes good sense, doesn't it? Too often, dieters go to extremes to lose weight more quickly but then have the plan backfire in the end when they gorge on sweets after starving for carbs for weeks. The research presented in the book "The Serotonin Power Diet" says that people can be starved for serotonin when on low-carb diets. Your brain uses carbohydrates (with the exception of fruit and honey) to create serotonin, and as your body becomes starved for it, you will want it more and more. Those who don't do well on a low-carb diet and end up gorging on sweets at some point are actually proving the author's point. While the book is disappointing in application, the serotonin research is interesting, and could provide a clue as to why some people don't feel good when they follow a low-carb diet.
In much the same way, those on low-fat diets can end up craving a needed, critical part to their diet, and end up not only unhappy during the dieting, but having a hard time eating a balanced diet directly after finishing the diet program.
So, why not just try a diet with "slow-carbs" — lots of produce and nourishing protein and fats, just like grandma's regular food on the table? (Or, in my case, perhaps my great-grandma's table!). I'd be interested to read more details in this research, as well as any follow up, not simply because of the weight-loss angle, but because it goes along with a simpler attitude of what a "healthy" diet is. After all, a diet based on good ingredients, non-processed foods, and "slow-carbs" is basically what us "traditional" food lovers eat.

Road to Mac OS X Leopard: Time MachineTime Machine is one of the most visually prominent new features demonstrated in Mac OS X Leopard, even if the core idea of backups is as old —or perhaps older —than the concept of having any data worthy of being restored. Here's a look at what's new and different about Apple's approach with Time Machine, why backups are a problem to be solved, and how well Leopard's new Time Machine actually works in practice.
The Origins of Time Machine
Picking a specific origin of the legacy of Time Machine is more difficult than other new features in Leopard, because it is a combination of old and new technologies. The new Time Machine is a stack of three functional layers:
- The new technology behind visualizing backed up data and restoring files.
- Its standard and ordinary data backup management functions.
- The novel core technologies behind how it squirrels away its archives.
The technologies on the top and bottom of the stack are what is really new and interesting about Time Machine; there's certainly nothing new about performing backups. The problem for most users is that, while they know they should be backing things up, they don't do a very good job of it for a number of reasons. It just so happens that what Apple is adding in Time Machine addresses those reasons, shielding users from the complexity and the tedious backup maintenance that prevents most people from backing up their information properly.
Backup Against the Wall
Data backups, like security measures, are a trade off between safety and convenience. Backing up everything frequently and saving backups over long periods is safe, but it's not very convenient. Doing little or nothing —say, duplicating the project you're working on so you have another version in case it gets corrupted —is convenient but not very safe. The problem for most users is that an all-out data crisis doesn't happen frequently enough, so there isn't much motivation to set up a backup system that is robust enough to work correctly.
The flip side is that some users get a backup system set in place that appears to be working, and are lulled into a false sense of security, unaware that it isn't. The faults might lie with unreliable back backup media, procedures not being carried out correctly, or the system not capturing new data it was not originally designed to protect.
The third problem related to backups is that even when diligent IT professionals take it upon themselves to build systems to backup data securely —all the time, with multiple levels of protection —the result can be extremely expensive, disruptive, and laborious to operate. That's the classic problem of the engineering triangle: balancing the three constrained demands of time, quality, and expense to build something good enough to suit its intended purpose.
Targeting Time, Quality, and Expense
In order to perform effective backups and ensure they will get done, the backup system has to be fast enough, do a good enough job, and not cost too much. It has only been fairly recently that hard drives have become the best way to back up most data.
Tape Backup: In the 80s and 90s, computer users commonly relied on tape drives to supply a fast enough, somewhat reliable, and cheap medium to spool off all their data for backup. Tapes were far more economical than storing data on hard drives and could chug along in the background or at night using automated software. However, it could take a very long time to pull data back off the tape, and physical tape was notorious for wearing out, breaking, or getting too dirty to work.
While tapes were commonly cheap enough, tape backup units are typically quite expensive, particularly among higher end formats that promised better reliability such as the "built like a tank" DLT format. Consumers and smaller businesses more commonly used the less reliable DDS tapes (above).
Diskette Backup: The cheaper alternative to tape was using floppy disks, but common floppies didn't hold much data. In 1983, Iomega introduced the Bernoulli Box, which was popular among Mac users for backing up a whopping 35 MB per disk over a fast SCSI cable. The storage capacity of Bernoulli disks —which were basically heavy duty floppy disks —steadily increased as technology allowed more data to be packed into the disk, peaking out around 230 MB (above). Iomega's arch rival was SyQuest, which sold hard drive platters packed into a removable cartridge. In addition to being used for backups, Bernoulli and SyQuest cartridges were also used for general storage.
Magneto Optical Drives: In the late 80s, magnetic floppies were quickly being outgrown by users, while the technology of mechanical hard drives seemed to be hitting a price-performance barrier. Steve Job's NeXT bet on Canon's new 256 MB Magneto-Optical drive technology for use its new line of computers, hoping that MO drives would be to the NeXT Cube what Sony's 3.5" floppy had been for the Macintosh back at Apple. It turned out that the first-generation of MO drives were unreliable, never dropped dramatically in price, and couldn't match hard drives in performance. The short lived Floptical format and Sony's MiniDisc also used MO technology, but neither took the world by storm and found only limited adoption.
New Disks in the 90s: In 1994, Iomega replaced its Bernoulli Box with the cheap, 100 MB Zip drive (above). It became very popular, eventually being built into many PCs and Macs as a functional replacement for the floppy. SyQuest tried to release its own competitor with the "EZ 135," which offered more space, was significantly faster, and used a more reliable hard drive platter rather than the Zip's heavy duty floppy design, but Zip won out, and Iomega eventually bought up the remains of SyQuest a few years later.
Laser Optical Drives: The next backup medium that caught on among consumers was CD-R, which offered far more storage than the Zip on an extremely cheap medium that kept getting cheaper. CD and DVD media remains cost effective for storing backups of some content today, although modern 500 GB hard drives can quickly fill up 8 GB DVDs. Dual Layer DVD blanks are still fairly expensive, and successive versions of optical disc, including 50 GB recordable Blu-Ray BD-R, are even pricier.
The Internet: By 1998, Job's Apple released the iMac without any floppy disk, a move that stunned the PC industry. How would users write their files? Even ten years later, most desktop PCs still throw in an ancient 3.5" floppy drive. In the decade since, the rewritable CD and DVD have become the new floppy, but the importance of dumping data on a removable disk rapidly waned in a world where nearly everyone was connected by ubiquitous networking. The "I" in iMac was for Internet, and users were supposed to use it to distribute their files.
State of the Backup
In 2007, the idea of backing up data to a tape drive is foreign to anyone outside of a server room, and even enterprise users are increasingly moving to hard drives for many backup purposes. Home users often make casual backups on DVD, or to a network file service, or dump data onto a removable hard drive. The general reliability of hard drives means that we don't face data loss as often as we used to in the days of having files strewn about on magnetically sensitive floppy drives.
Apple's current Backup application (below) is designed primarily to work with .Mac, and works a lot like most other existing backup programs. Users manually select files to be backed up and schedule times for when backups should occur. Backup was intended to copy data to a user's online .Mac account, but can also backup to an iPod or to CD or DVDs.
The problem is that the cheap storage space afforded by today's hard drives means we now have outrageously huge mountains of important data sitting on our disks, so that any failure or error can wipe out far more content than a bad floppy could have back in the 80s. The progress of technology in hard drives' size and economy is not only the problem, but also the solution: duplicate your important data on another hard drive.

Illustrator and concept artist Daryl Toh Liem Zhan is working his way through the alphabet by illustrating at least one monster for each letter. But while some of his monsters come from familiar movies and western urban legends, Zhan pulls from the monstrous myths of the world, drawing creatures from Inuit, South African, Japanese, and Chinese tales as well.
For example, that first image above it "B for Bake-Kujira," a ghostly whale said to have appeared off the coast of the Shimane Prefecture. And even though I wasn't familiar with the horse-headed serpent Inkanyamba before viewing Zhan's series, his use of the Internet's favorite horse mask as its head ensures that I won't soon forget it.

You may think you know what addiction is—lots of people have many different opinions about addiction and different ways of defining it. Here are some myths you may have heard:
- Getting over addiction to drugs is a choice.
- In order for treatment to work, the person has to hit "rock bottom."
- People have to choose to get treatment or it won't be effective, such as when a judge sends a person to a treatment facility instead of jail.
The truth is that addiction is a complex brain disease that scientists are still figuring out. For instance, one person may use a drug once or many times and nothing bad happens, while others may overdose with the first use. Some people use drugs regularly and never become addicted, while others try drugs once or twice and do become addicted. There is no way of knowing in advance how a person may react to these dangerous substances. Whether or how quickly addiction takes hold in individuals depends on many factors, including:
- Genes: Research shows that some people's genes may leave them more susceptible to addiction than other people's.
- Environment: Kids who are exposed to drug use in their families or neighborhoods are at greater risk of engaging in drug abuse themselves.
- Age at first use: The younger a person uses drugs, the more vulnerable he or she is to addiction in adulthood. Since the brain continues to develop well into a person's twenties, using drugs in the teen years can set a person up for later drug problems.
What scientists know for sure is that many drugs "turn on" the brain's reward circuit, which is part of the limbic system. The person then learns to associate the drug with pleasure and starts to crave it more and more, leading to compulsive drug use and often to addiction. In an addicted person, the brain changes in ways that cause compulsive drug seeking and use, despite negative consequences, so even if they want to quit, they can't without treatment and support. That's why addiction is considered a brain disease. Other activities in life also activate the brain's reward circuit and can cause "driven" behaviors, such as compulsive overeating or video game playing. However, scientists are still trying to figure out why this happens in non-drug contexts—it may be connected to dopamine levels in the brain. Learn more about the science behind drug addiction by visiting http://nida.nih.gov/scienceofaddiction/.
Addictions are so hard to throw not only because of what goes on in the brain - thinking that you should quit is a whole lot different than wanting to quit and actually making the steps is another story.
One of the worst things you need to overcome is withdrawal. It's what every addict is afraid of. But withdrawal can be handled as it says in the article, with drugs and treatment. It doens't have to be that hard.
Knowing what's ahead can really help you to get through it. Here's some extensive information on withdrawal symptoms with opiate addiction - [link removed, per guidelines]
i dont like drugz ewwww!!! it really messes up ur life den ur screwed forever itz sad dat half of the united states of america use drugz :(
I think that drugz shud be illegal and wen ppl use drugz dey shud go to jail!!! :)
wait az a matter a fact yesss drugz shud be illegal indeed!
I do believe all the concepts you've introduced in your post. They are really convincing and will definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are too short for starters. Could you please prolong them a bit from subsequent time? Thank you for the post. [commercial link removed, per guidelines]
i have found OVER 9000 websites about this and this one was the only website that actually explained addiction. i can now explain what addiction is without messing up. i now know that addiction affects your brain more when you are a kid. THANK YOU SARA BELLUM!!!!!!!!!
thats why you shouldnt ever start drugs. Most people get addicted to them and then when you want to stop you have to spend alot of money and alot of time to quit. you would have to spend alot of money and time because it is almost impossible to quit drugs without any help, so you would have to seek help from other people.
I think that some things are just peoples choices, most people hit rock bottem before they get help because they think it is normal not something bad. If they choose not to get over drugs like if the get sent to a treatment facility instead of jail it will not help because they do not want to change they want to continue to use drugs. Getting over drugs is a choice somewhat because if they choose not to they will not change.
Never knew that addiction could be passed down via genes. Drugs should defiantly be illegal because of all the problems they cause (ex. Violence in countries we recieve drugs from) They destroy your brain and I agree that addiction should be classified as a disease.
I definitely know about the genetic disposition toward addiction; my father was an alcoholic and alcoholism runs in the family, and childhood experiences with him made me swear to myself never to drink. Also swore to never use any addictive drug after losing my smoking grandmother to lung cancer. That has paid off, since I've noticed I tend to get addicted very easily to things not considered to be drugs, like M&Ms and Wintergreen-flavored Tic-Tacs. Tic-Tacs are the worst; no matter how hard I try to make a package of them last more than 1 day, I almost always fail. I would be no match for cigarettes or anything harder!
In fact, most sugary things I find myself unable to control my consumption of very easily, in spite of many attempts to cut or drastically reduce sugar from my diet. I'm fortunate to have a metabolism that keeps my weight at a steady 130 lbs, but I still risk diabetes. I don't wish addiction upon anyone!
Congrats on having the maturity to recognize these vulnerabilities in yourself. Stay healthy—and thanks for your comment.

Cloud9 IDE points to the importance here of Azure's immodestly termed "infinite scale" model, which (so says Microsoft) enables users to deploy enterprise-level applications globally, with the ability to grow or shrink resource usage based on need.
"Like Cloud9, Microsoft has demonstrated a strong commitment to the Node.js community through Windows Azure. This relationship shows how quickly Node.js is becoming the runtime of cloud and proves that a fully cloud-based development workflow is now a reality," said Ruben Daniels, CEO, Cloud9 IDE.
Cloud9 IDE offers a variety of Node-specific features, such as syntax highlighting, NPM support, code completion, testing, and in-browser debugging. The company also recently announced a variety of tools designed to support the growth of the Node.js community, including Nodebits.org, a blog featuring Node.js tutorials, and Nodemanual.org, Cloud9 IDE's Node documentation site. Similarly, Node.js developers can utilize Windows Azure's new Node.js Developer Center and Windows Azure SDK for Node.js.
"Windows Azure's adoption of Node.js gives customers new and powerful options that let them take advantage of the openness and flexibility of the cloud," said Microsoft VP Scott Guthrie. "By working with Cloud9 IDE, our goal is to make development even easier for customers and to continue to demonstrate our support for interoperability."

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
A student may find it necessary to withdraw from all classes during a semester. The student may be eligible to receive a refund of tuition and course fees depending upon
the timing of withdrawal
If circumstances cause a student to withdraw from all classes, they are encouraged to contact their academic advisor so their decision will be based on a clear understanding of the consequences of withdrawing from all classes.
Determining Aid Earned
If a student withdraws from UW-River Falls, then the school, or the student, or both may be required to return some or all of the federal funds awarded to the student for that semester. The federal government requires a return of Title IV federal aid that was received if the student withdrew on or before completing 60% of the semester. Federal funds, for the purposes of this federal regulation, include Pell Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Unsubsidized Stafford Loans, Subsidized Stafford Loans, Perkins Loans, and Parent PLUS Loans. The formula used in this federal "return of funds" calculation divides the aid received into earned aid and unearned aid.
A student "earns" financial aid in proportion to the time s/he is enrolled up to the 60% point. The percentage of federal aid to be returned (unearned aid) is equal to the number of calendar days remaining in the semester when the withdrawal takes place divided by the total number of calendar days in the semester. If a student was enrolled for 20% of the semester before completely withdrawing, 80% of federal financial aid must be returned to the aid programs. If a student stays through 50% of the semester, 50% of federal financial aid must be returned.
For a student who withdraws after the 60% point-in-time, there is no unearned aid. However, a school must still complete a Return calculation in order to determine whether the student is eligible for a post-withdrawal disbursement.
In compliance with federal regulations, the financial aid office will perform the calculation within 30 days of the student's withdrawal and funds will be returned to the appropriate federal aid program within 45 days of the withdrawal date. An evaluation will be done to determine if aid was eligible to be disbursed but had not disbursed as of the withdrawal date. If the student meets the federal criteria for a post withdrawal disbursement, the student will be notified of their eligibility within 30 days of determining the student's date of withdrawal. If the eligibility is for a grant disbursement, the funds will be disbursed within 45 days of determining the student's date of withdrawal. If the eligibility is for a loan, the student will be notified in the same timeframe but they must also reply to the Financial Aid Office if they wish to accept the post withdrawal loan obligation. A post withdrawal disbursement of any funds would first be used toward any outstanding charges before any funds are returned to you.
Return of Title IV Federal Financial Aid
Once the amount of unearned federal aid is calculated, the UW-River Falls repayment responsibility is the lesser of that amount or the amount of unearned institutional charges. The school satisfies its responsibility by repaying funds in the student's package in the following order:
Keep in mind that when Title IV funds are returned, the student borrower may owe a balance to the institution and/or the U.S. Department of Education. If a student fails to repay grant funds, s/he may be ineligible for future federal financial aid.

US Patent Office Makes It Harder To Reject Patents For Obviousness
from the that's-not-good deptThe David Kappos-run USPTO seems to just get worse and worse. Already this year, we had noted that the patent office, under his charge, had started approving patents at an unprecedented rate, after a few years of corrections. It's become quite obvious that Kappos is pushing to get more patents approved, rather than fixing the patent system or making sure that it works to actually help innovation. I don't know why he's doing so, but it's quite troubling. The latest indicator of this is the fact that the USPTO has issued new guidelines on obviousness that effectively make it much harder for examiners to reject patent claims as obvious (found via Slashdot).
For years, one of the biggest problems with the patent office was that it approved all kinds of obvious inventions as patentable. Patents are only supposed to be given for things that are both new and non-obvious to those skilled in the art. However, for the most part, examiners focused solely on the "new" part (as determined by prior art) and effectively ignored whether or not it was obvious to those skilled in the art. Finally, in 2006, the Supreme Court agreed to look at the standards for "obviousness," leading to the Teleflex v. KSR ruling that basically said the USPTO (and the courts) had to really start looking at obviousness as separate from newness. In response, the USPTO put out a set of guidelines, including seven "tests" for obviousness -- and many examiners seemed to make use of these tests, as more patents got rejected, with obviousness often being the reason.
Yet, these new guidelines simply delete four of the tests. So, we're back down to just three tests for obviousness, which significantly limits the likelihood that examiners will reject patents as obvious. The end result? A lot more obvious ideas getting patented, followed by a lot more gridlock and needless lawsuits and transfer payments in the market -- and a huge tax on innovation. What a shame.

Rapids get Champions League draw, avoid Group of Death
A good news-bad news situation for the Rapids after they learned their draw for the 2011-12 CONCACAF Champions League.
The good news: Colorado conveniently missed the monsters of Mexico. A good turn, as Mexican teams have dominated the tournament in recent years (winning the past six) and overall (winning 27 of 48 trophies since 1962).
The bad news: The Rapids were placed in Group B with Real España, last year's Honduran Liga Nacional apertura champion.
Colorado and España are the two auto-qualifiers into the group stage. They will be joined by the winners of preliminary round matches between Mexico's Santos Laguna vs. Honduras' Olimpia, and El Salvador's Isidro Metapan vs. a to-be-determined Caribbean Football Union team.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK – Individual Spooky White Pizzas
One 1-pound ball prepared pizza dough
All-purpose flour, for rolling the dough
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, finely grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella (about 6 ounces)
4 pitted black olives, ends trimmed and each cut into 3 rounds
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Divide the pizza dough into 4 pieces. Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll and stretch on a lightly floured surface into an 8- to 9-inch oval. Transfer to a prepared baking sheet and pull the end of the dough to one side into a tapered end to create a ghost shape. Repeat with the remaining dough, putting 2 ghosts on each baking sheet. Don't worry if they all look slightly different– it will give the ghosts personality.
Mix the oil and garlic together in a small bowl and evenly brush over the 4 ghosts; sprinkle with a total of 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bake until the crusts are golden and set, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the pans top to bottom halfway through the baking time.
Mix the ricotta, Parmesan and Italian seasoning together in a small bowl and spread over the ghosts, stopping about 1/2-inch from the edge. Sprinkle with the mozzarella and return to the oven until the ghosts are hot and the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes more. Place 2 pieces of olive on each ghost for the eyes and1 piece on each for a mouth.
Transfer the ghosts to individual plates and serve.

Was not allowed to goHard to review a show I wasn't allowd to go to, but this show I was not allowed to go to remains very vivid in my memories . I was a die hard J. Geils Band fan, and still am. U2 became my favorite band. Years later, I wrote a letter to J.Geils Band lead singer Peter Wolf. He actually wrote back, and mentioned U2 was the opening act. Now 20 years after writing the letter, I feel kind of sad that I missed out on seeing my future favorite band open for my school boy years favorite band. Oddly, I never liked U2 back then, and wonder if the show would've changed my life...but then again, by not going, my life turned out fine, and U2 was part of the soundtrack. A happy ending!

Say what? Kim Kardashian gets a billboard?
Where is Vin Scully?
Where is Jack Fimple?
Where is Rudy Law?
Where is Chad Fonville? (Don't know who Fonville is, huh?)
From Kim's website:
Ahh! How cool is my Dodgers billboard? I love it! It's a little odd to see myself on a billboard, but I'm thrilled to be the new face of the Dodgers and it's a real honor to represent my home team. Me, Kourt, Khloe and mom all went to a game recently to throw the first pitch and support the team!
Have you seen the billboards around town?
Who's next? Paris Hilton?

Questions and Answers about Shoulder Problems
This booklet first answers general questions about the shoulder and shoulder problems. It then answers questions about specific shoulder problems as well as shoulder pain caused by arthritis of the shoulder.
What Are the Most Common Shoulder Problems?
The most movable joint in the body, the shoulder is also one of the most potentially unstable joints. As a result, it is the site of many common problems. They include sprains, strains, dislocations, separations, tendinitis, bursitis, torn rotator cuffs, frozen shoulder, fractures, and arthritis. Specific shoulder problems will be discussed later in this booklet.

How Common Are Shoulder Problems?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 1.5 million people in the United States visited an emergency room in 2006 for shoulder problems.
What Are the Structures of the Shoulder and How Does It Function?
To better understand shoulder problems and how they occur, it helps to begin with an explanation of the shoulder's structure and how it functions.
The shoulder joint is composed of three bones: the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (upper arm bone) (see diagram). Two joints facilitate shoulder movement. The acromioclavicular (ah-KRO-me-oklah-VIK-u-lahr; AC) joint is located between the acromion (ah-KRO-me-on; part of the scapula that forms the highest point of the shoulder) and the clavicle. The glenohumeral joint, commonly called the shoulder joint, is a ball-andsocket-type joint that helps move the shoulder forward and backward and allows the arm to rotate in a circular fashion or hinge out and up away from the body. (The "ball," or humerus, is the top, rounded portion of the upper arm bone; the "socket," or glenoid, is a dish-shaped part of the outer edge of the scapula into which the ball fits.) The capsule is a soft tissue envelope that encircles the glenohumeral joint. It is lined by a thin, smooth synovial membrane.
In contrast to the hip joint, which more closely approximates a true ball-and-socket joint, the shoulder joint can be compared to a golf ball and tee, in which the ball can easily slip off the flat tee. Because the bones provide little inherent stability to the shoulder joint, it is highly dependent on surrounding soft tissues such as capsule ligaments and the muscles surrounding the rotator cuff to hold the ball in place. Whereas the hip joint is inherently quite stable because of the encircling bony anatomy, it also is relatively immobile. The shoulder, on the other hand, is relatively unstable but highly mobile, allowing an individual to place the hand in numerous positions. It is, in fact, one of the most mobile joints in the human body.
The bones of the shoulder are held in place by muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Tendons are tough cords of tissue that attach the shoulder muscles to bone and assist the muscles in moving the shoulder. Ligaments attach shoulder bones to each other, providing stability. For example, the front of the joint capsule is anchored by three glenohumeral ligaments. The rotator cuff is a structure composed of tendons that work along with associated muscles to hold the ball at the top of the humerus in the glenoid socket and provide mobility and strength to the shoulder joint. Two filmy sac-like structures called bursae permit smooth gliding between bones, muscles, and tendons. They cushion and protect the rotator cuff from the bony arch of the acromion.
What Are the Origins and Causes of Shoulder Problems?
The shoulder is easily injured because the ball of the upper arm is larger than the shoulder socket that holds it. To remain stable, the shoulder must be anchored by its muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Although the shoulder is easily injured during sporting activities and manual labor, the primary source of shoulder problems appears to be the natural age-related degeneration of the surrounding soft tissues such as those found in the rotator cuff. The incidence of rotator cuff problems rises dramatically as a function of age and is generally seen among individuals who are more than 60 years old. Often, the dominant and nondominant arm will be affected to a similar degree. Overuse of the shoulder can lead to more rapid agerelated deterioration.
Shoulder pain may be localized or may be felt in areas around the shoulder or down the arm. Disease within the body (such as gallbladder, liver, or heart disease, or disease of the cervical spine of the neck) also may generate pain that travels along nerves to the shoulder. However, these other causes of shoulder pain are beyond the scope of this booklet, which will focus on problems within the shoulder itself.
How Are Shoulder Problems Diagnosed?
As with any medical issue, a shoulder problem is generally diagnosed using a three-part process:
- Medical history. The patient tells the doctor about any injury or other condition that might be causing the pain.
- Physical examination. The doctor examines the patient to feel for injury and to discover the limits of movement, location of pain, and extent of joint instability.
- Tests. The doctor may order one or more of the tests listed below to make a specific diagnosis. These tests may include the following:
- Standard x ray. A familiar procedure in which low-level radiation is passed through the body to produce a picture called a radiograph. An x ray is useful for diagnosing fractures or other problems of the bones. Soft tissues, such as muscles and tendons, do not show up on x rays.
- Arthrogram. A diagnostic record that can be seen on an x ray after injection of a contrast fluid into the shoulder joint to outline structures such as the rotator cuff. In disease or injury, this contrast fluid may either leak into an area where it does not belong, indicating a tear or opening, or be blocked from entering an area where there normally is an opening.
- Ultrasound. A noninvasive, patient-friendly procedure in which a small, hand-held scanner is placed on the skin of the shoulder. Just as ultrasound waves can be used to visualize the fetus during pregnancy, they can also be reflected off the rotator cuff and other structures to form a highquality image of them. The accuracy of ultrasound for the rotator cuff is particularly high.
- MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). A noninvasive procedure in which a machine with a strong magnet passes a force through the body to produce a series of cross-sectional images of the shoulder.
Other diagnostic tests, such as one that involves injecting an anesthetic into and around the shoulder joint, are discussed in detail in other parts of this booklet.
What Should I Know About Specific Shoulder Problems, Including Their Symptoms and Treatment?
The symptoms of shoulder problems, as well as their diagnosis and treatment, vary widely, depending on the specific problem. The following is important information to know about some of the most common shoulder problems.
The shoulder joint is the most frequently dislocated major joint of the body. In a typical case of a dislocated shoulder, either a strong force pulls the shoulder outward (abduction) or extreme rotation of the joint pops the ball of the humerus out of the shoulder socket. Dislocation commonly occurs when there is a backward pull on the arm that either catches the muscles unprepared to resist or overwhelms the muscles. When a shoulder dislocates frequently, the condition is referred to as shoulder instability. A partial dislocation in which the upper arm bone is partially in and partially out of the socket is called a subluxation.
- Signs and symptoms. The shoulder can dislocate either forward, backward, or downward. When the shoulder dislocates, the arm appears out of position. Other symptoms include pain, which may be worsened by muscle spasms; swelling; numbness; weakness; and bruising. Problems seen with a dislocated shoulder are tearing of the ligaments or tendons reinforcing the joint capsule and, less commonly, bone and/or nerve damage.
- Diagnosis. Doctors usually diagnose a dislocation by a physical examination; x rays may be taken to confirm the diagnosis and to rule out a related fracture.
- Treatment. Doctors treat a dislocation by putting the ball of the humerus back into the joint socket, a procedure called a closed reduction. The arm is then stabilized for several weeks in a sling or a device called a shoulder immobilizer. Usually the doctor recommends resting the shoulder and applying ice three or four times a day. After pain and swelling have been controlled, the patient enters a rehabilitation program that includes exercises. The goal is to restore the range of motion of the shoulder, strengthen the muscles, and prevent future dislocations. These exercises may progress from simple motion to the use of weights.
After treatment and recovery, a previously dislocated shoulder may remain more susceptible to reinjury, especially in young, active individuals. Ligaments may have been stretched or torn, and the shoulder may tend to dislocate again. A shoulder that dislocates severely or often, injuring surrounding tissues or nerves, usually requires surgical repair to tighten stretched ligaments or reattach torn ones.
Sometimes the doctor performs surgery through a tiny incision into which a small scope (arthroscope) is inserted to observe the inside of the joint. After this procedure, called arthroscopic surgery, the shoulder is generally stabilized for about 6 weeks. Full recovery takes several months. In other cases, the doctor may repair the dislocation using a traditional open surgery approach.
A shoulder separation occurs where the collarbone (clavicle) meets the shoulder blade (scapula). When ligaments that hold the joint together are partially or completely torn, the outer end of the clavicle may slip out of place, preventing it from properly meeting the scapula. Most often, the injury is caused by a blow to the shoulder or by falling on an outstretched hand.
- Signs and symptoms. Shoulder pain or tenderness and, occasionally, a bump in the middle of the top of the shoulder (over the acromioclavicular (AC) joint) are signs that a separation may have occurred.
- Diagnosis. Doctors may diagnose a separation by performing a physical examination. They may confirm the diagnosis and determine the severity of the separation by taking an x ray. While the x ray is being taken, the patient makes the separation more pronounced by holding a light weight that pulls on the muscles.
- Treatment. A shoulder separation is usually treated conservatively by rest and wearing a sling. Soon after injury, an ice bag may be applied to relieve pain and swelling. After a period of rest, a therapist helps the patient perform exercises that put the shoulder through its range of motion. Most shoulder separations heal within 2 or 3 months without further intervention. However, if ligaments are severely torn, surgical repair may be required to hold the clavicle in place. A doctor may wait to see if conservative treatment works before deciding whether surgery is required.
Rotator Cuff Disease: Tendinitis and Bursitis
These conditions are closely related and may occur alone or in combination.
Tendinitis is inflammation (redness, soreness, and swelling) of a tendon. In tendinitis of the shoulder, the rotator cuff and/or biceps tendon become inflamed, usually as a result of being pinched by surrounding structures. The injury may vary from mild inflammation to involvement of most of the rotator cuff. When the rotator cuff tendon becomes inflamed and thickened, it may get trapped under the acromion. Squeezing of the rotator cuff is called impingement syndrome.
Bursitis, or inflammation of the bursa sacs that protect the shoulder, may accompany tendinitis and impingement syndrome. Inflammation caused by a disease such as rheumatoid arthritis may cause rotator cuff tendinitis and bursitis. Sports involving overuse of the shoulder and occupations requiring frequent overhead reaching are other potential causes of irritation to the rotator cuff or bursa and may lead to inflammation and impingement.
If the rotator cuff and bursa are irritated, inflamed, and swollen, they may become squeezed between the head of the humerus and the acromion. Repeated motion involving the arms, or the effects of the aging process on shoulder movement over many years, may also irritate and wear down the tendons, muscles, and surrounding structures.
- Signs and symptoms. Signs of these conditions include the slow onset of discomfort and pain in the upper shoulder or upper third of the arm and/or difficulty sleeping on the shoulder. Tendinitis and bursitis also cause pain when the arm is lifted away from the body or overhead. If tendinitis involves the biceps tendon (the tendon located in front of the shoulder that helps bend the elbow and turn the forearm), pain will occur in the front or side of the shoulder and may travel down to the elbow and forearm. Pain may also occur when the arm is forcefully pushed upward overhead.
- Diagnosis. Diagnosis of tendinitis and bursitis begins with a medical history and physical examination. X rays do not show tendons or the bursae, but may be helpful in ruling out bony abnormalities or arthritis. The doctor may remove and test fluid from the inflamed area to rule out infection. Impingement syndrome may be confirmed when injection of a small amount of anesthetic (lidocaine hydrochloride) into the space under the acromion relieves pain.
- Treatment. The first step in treating these conditions is to reduce pain and inflammation with rest, ice, and anti-inflammatory medicines such as aspirin and ibuprofen (Advil,1 Motrin). In some cases, the doctor or therapist will use ultrasound (gentle soundwave vibrations) to warm deep tissues and improve blood flow. Gentle stretching and strengthening exercises are added gradually. These may be preceded or followed by use of an ice pack. If there is no improvement, the doctor may inject a corticosteroid medicine into the space under the acromion. Although steroid injections are a common treatment, they must be used with caution because they may lead to tendon rupture. If there is still no improvement after 6 to 12 months, the doctor may recommend either arthroscopic or open surgery to repair damage and relieve pressure on the tendons and bursae.

Torn Rotator Cuff
Rotator cuff tendons often become inflamed from overuse, aging, or a fall on an outstretched hand or another traumatic cause. Sports or occupations requiring repetitive overhead motion or heavy lifting can also place a significant strain on rotator cuff muscles and tendons. Over time, as a function of aging, tendons become weaker and degenerate. Eventually, this degeneration can lead to complete tears of both muscles and tendons. These tears are surprisingly common. In fact, a tear of the rotator cuff is not necessarily an abnormal situation in older individuals if there is no significant pain or disability. Fortunately, these tears do not lead to any pain or disability in most people. However, some individuals can develop very significant pain as a result of these tears and they may require treatment.
- Signs and symptoms. Typically, a person with a rotator cuff injury feels pain over the deltoid muscle at the top and outer side of the shoulder, especially when the arm is raised or extended out from the side of the body. Motions like those involved in getting dressed can be painful. The shoulder may feel weak, especially when trying to lift the arm into a horizontal position. A person may also feel or hear a click or pop when the shoulder is moved. Pain or weakness on outward or inward rotation of the arm may indicate a tear in a rotator cuff tendon. The patient also feels pain when lowering the arm to the side after the shoulder is moved backward and the arm is raised.
- Diagnosis. A doctor may detect weakness but may not be able to determine from a physical examination where the tear is located. X rays, if taken, may appear normal. An MRI or ultrasound can help detect a full tendon tear or a partial tendon tear.
- Treatment. Doctors usually recommend that patients with a rotator cuff injury rest the shoulder, apply heat or cold to the sore area, and take medicine to relieve pain and inflammation. Other treatments might be added, such as electrical stimulation of muscles and nerves, ultrasound, or a cortisone injection near the inflamed area of the rotator cuff. If surgery is not an immediate consideration, exercises are added to the treatment program to build flexibility and strength and restore the shoulder's function. If there is no improvement with these conservative treatments and functional impairment persists, the doctor may perform arthroscopic or open surgical repair of the torn rotator cuff.
Treatment for a torn rotator cuff usually depends on the severity of the injury, the age and health status of the patient, and the length of time a given patient may have had the condition. Patients with rotator cuff tendinitis or bursitis that does not include a complete tear of the tendon can usually be treated without surgery. Nonsurgical treatments include the use of anti-inflammatory medication and occasional steroid injections into the area of the inflamed rotator cuff, followed by rehabilitative rotator cuff strengthening exercises. These treatments are best undertaken with the guidance of a health care professional such as a physical therapist, who works in conjunction with the treating physician.
Surgical repair of rotator cuff tears is best for:
- younger patients, especially those with small tears. Surgery leads to a high degree of successful healing and reduces concerns about the tear getting worse over time.
- individuals whose rotator cuff tears are caused by an acute, severe injury. These people should seek immediate treatment that includes surgical repair of the tendon.
Generally speaking, individuals who are older and have had shoulder pain for a longer period of time can be treated with nonoperative measures even in the presence of a complete rotator cuff tear. These people are often treated similarly to those who have pain, but do not have a rotator cuff tear. Again, anti-inflammatory medication, use of steroid injections, and rehabilitative exercises can be very effective. When treated surgically, rotator cuff tears can be repaired by either arthroscopic or traditional open surgical techniques.
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
As the name implies, movement of the shoulder is severely restricted in people with a "frozen shoulder." This condition, which doctors call adhesive capsulitis, is frequently caused by injury that leads to lack of use due to pain. Rheumatic disease progression and recent shoulder surgery can also cause frozen shoulder. Intermittent periods of use may cause inflammation. Adhesions (abnormal bands of tissue) grow between the joint surfaces, restricting motion. There is also a lack of synovial fluid, which normally lubricates the gap between the arm bone and socket to help the shoulder joint move. It is this restricted space between the capsule and ball of the humerus that distinguishes adhesive capsulitis from a less complicated painful, stiff shoulder. People with diabetes, stroke, lung disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and heart disease, or those who have been in an accident, are at a higher risk for frozen shoulder. People between the ages of 40 and 70 are most likely to experience it.
- Signs and symptoms. With a frozen shoulder, the joint becomes so tight and stiff that it is nearly impossible to carry out simple movements, such as raising the arm. Stiffness and discomfort may worsen at night.
- Diagnosis. A doctor may suspect a frozen shoulder if a physical examination reveals limited shoulder movement. X rays usually appear normal.
- Treatment. Treatment of this disorder focuses on restoring joint movement and reducing shoulder pain. Usually, treatment begins with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and the application of heat, followed by gentle stretching exercises. These stretching exercises, which may be performed in the home with the help of a physical therapist, are the treatment of choice. In some cases, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) with a small battery-operated unit may be used to reduce pain by blocking nerve impulses. If these measures are unsuccessful, an intra-articular injection of steroids into the glenoid humeral joint can result in marked improvement of the frozen shoulder in a large percentage of cases. In those rare people who do not improve from nonoperative measures, manipulation of the shoulder under general anesthesia and an arthroscopic procedure to cut the remaining adhesions can be highly effective in most cases.
A fracture involves a partial or total crack through a bone. The break in a bone usually occurs as a result of an impact injury, such as a fall or blow to the shoulder. A fracture usually involves the clavicle or the neck (area below the ball) of the humerus.
- Signs and symptoms. A shoulder fracture that occurs after a major injury is usually accompanied by severe pain. Within a short time, there may be redness and bruising around the area. Sometimes a fracture is obvious because the bones appear out of position.
- Diagnosis. X rays can confirm the diagnosis of a shoulder fracture and the degree of its severity.
- Treatment. When a fracture occurs, the doctor tries to bring the bones into a position that will promote healing and restore arm movement. If someone's clavicle is fractured, he or she must initially wear a strap and sling around the chest to keep the clavicle in place. After removing the strap and sling, the doctor will prescribe exercises to strengthen the shoulder and restore movement. Surgery is occasionally needed for certain clavicle fractures.
Fracture of the neck of the humerus is usually treated with a sling or shoulder stabilizer. If the bones are out of position, surgery may be necessary to reset them. Exercises are also part of restoring shoulder strength and motion.
Arthritis of the Shoulder
Arthritis is a degenerative disease caused by either wear and tear of the cartilage (osteoarthritis) or an inflammation (rheumatoid arthritis) of one or more joints. Arthritis not only affects joints, but may also affect supporting structures such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
- Signs and symptoms. The usual signs of arthritis of the shoulder are pain, particularly over the acromioclavicular joint, and a decrease in shoulder motion.
- Diagnosis. A doctor may suspect the patient has arthritis when there is both pain and swelling in the joint. The diagnosis may be confirmed by a physical examination and x rays. Blood tests may be helpful for diagnosing rheumatoid arthritis, but other tests may be needed as well. Analysis of synovial fluid from the shoulder joint may be helpful in diagnosing some kinds of arthritis. Although arthroscopy permits direct visualization of damage to cartilage, tendons, and ligaments, and may confirm a diagnosis, it is usually done only if a repair procedure is to be performed.
- Treatment. Treatment of shoulder arthritis depends in part on the type of arthritis. Osteoarthritis of the shoulder is usually treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin and ibuprofen. Rheumatoid arthritis may require physical therapy and additional medications such as corticosteroids.
When nonoperative treatment of arthritis of the shoulder fails to relieve pain or improve function, or when there is severe wear and tear of the joint causing parts to loosen and move out of place, shoulder joint replacement (arthroplasty) may provide better results. In this operation, a surgeon replaces the shoulder joint with an artificial ball for the top of the humerus and a cap (glenoid) for the scapula. Passive shoulder exercises (where someone else moves the arm to rotate the shoulder joint) are started soon after surgery. Patients begin exercising on their own about 3 to 6 weeks after surgery. Eventually, stretching and strengthening exercises become a major part of the rehabilitation program. The success of the operation often depends on the condition of rotator cuff muscles prior to surgery and the degree to which the patient follows the exercise program.
Treat Shoulder Injuries With RICE
(Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation)
If you injure a shoulder, try the following:
Rest. Reduce or stop using the injured area for 48 hours.
Ice. Put an ice pack on the injured area for 20 minutes at a time, 4 to 8 times per day. Use a cold pack, ice bag, or a plastic bag filled with crushed ice that has been wrapped in a towel.
Compression. Compress the area with bandages, such as an elastic wrap, to help stabilize the shoulder. This may help reduce the swelling.
Elevation. Keep the injured area elevated above the level of the heart. Use a pillow to help elevate the injury.
If pain and stiffness persist, see a doctor.
What Research Is Being Done on Shoulder Problems?
Numerous studies are supported by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) and other institutes of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' National Institutes of Health to better understand shoulder problems and improve their treatment.
The specific goals of those studies include:
- improving the results of surgery to repair shoulder dislocation damage
- developing and testing the effectiveness of biomechanically based rehabilitation strategies to improve upper extremity function and reduce pain in people with shoulder problems
- identifying faulty movement patterns that cause some people with lower spinal cord injuries to have shoulder pain, and designing ways to modify and prevent further progression of those movement patterns
- identifying or developing agents (such as growth factors) that help the muscle and tendon repair process
- better understanding the factors that lead to the progression of rotator cuff tears and using new materials and techniques to manage rotator cuff tears clinically
- using animal models for better understanding of the healing response after surgery to repair shoulder injuries, and for helping to determine the most effective postoperative activity protocol.

Negative thinking
Hypnotherapy can you with negative thinking
Do you ever find yourself feeling out of control with negative thoughts?
Do you ever find yourself feeling a bit unfocused and 'bogged down' with negative thoughts?
Do negative thoughts rule your life, cause havoc in your relationships, or maybe they hold you back from reaching your goals?
As a hypnotherapist and Teacher, I have helped many people overcome negative thinking. Negative thinkers are ruled by their negative thoughts, these negative thoughts can become deeply embedded in our unconscious mind. We are not born with negative thoughts; we develop them as experience life.
As the negative thoughts build up, (the more we do it) they become part of our automatic way of thinking for many people, they do not realise how negative their thinking is. Negative thinking becomes a habit, and stopping those pesky thoughts can be very challenging to stop without help. The thoughts often generate anxiety, and feelings of paranoia. This is, when it becomes very painful for the sufferer, and those who are involved in their life.
The occasional negative thought is perfectly normal. But when you instinctively see the worst, blackest, side of anything and everything then it's time to do something about it, and get help.
Do you agree with any of the following statements?
My thoughts sometimes run away from me
My thoughts often to do serve me
My thoughts remind me of my parent/s voice
My thoughts get in the way of me taking productive action
I know a change in my thinking would make positive changes in my life
My thoughts lead to unproductive feelings
I often allow my imagination to run away
I have repeating thoughts sometimes
I admit that I am often a negative thinker
I wish I could turn my mind off
I have been told by others that my thinking is "off"
I'm not in control
As a Hypnotherapist, my aim is to help people stop thinking negatively and develop healthier, more balanced ways of thinking. It is often the case that, negative thinking is a result of low self-esteem however fear plays a major role in negative thinking. I have helped many people over the years, the result of making these changes, will not only transform your life but your relationships too.
Make an appointment for a free consultation, to find out how you can stop negative thinking today with Hypnotherapy in Leicester Leicestershire

Of the five senses: sight, sound, touch, taste and smell, smell is the only one which has a direct pathway to the limbic mode. This is the section of the brain where creativity, emotion, hunger and impulses are processed, and where memories and experiences of pleasure are stored. All of the other senses are processed in the left side of the brain, the cerebral cortex, the area where logical thought is processed. This means that smell is the only sense capable of triggering a true impulse reaction.
ScentSational will work with your Product, Packaging, Design, R&D and Marketing Teams to identify and create the best scented product and packaging applications possible. We start by evaluating your product's existing scent and materials along with the scent experience you would like to convey. Our focus is to help you find the most cost effective option for delivering a controlled aroma experience with your existing packaging, product and supplier. ScentSational's technology typically does not require additional tooling and as a result scalability worldwide is not a concern. We can offer you turnkey manufacturing through our manufacturing partners or we can work with your manufacturing partners to seamlessly integrate our technology.
Since most of what people perceive as "taste" actually results from their sense of smell, a consumer's taste experience can be improved when your product or packaging utilizes ScentSational's Encapsulated Aroma Release® Technology.
Here's why… The human tongue can only detect 4 basic taste sensations. Sweet, Sour, Bitter & Salty, plus there is a 5th sensation called Umami that is stimulated by MSG. All other taste is actually a result of the Sense of Smell.
Since most of what people perceive as "taste" actually results from their sense of smell, a consumer's taste experience can be improved when your product or packaging utilizes ScentSational's Encapsulated Aroma Release® and taste enhancement Technologies. This is how it works…
ScentSational's technologies utilize the natural, scientifically proven power of controlled aroma release to overcome a number of product and packaging challenges in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical categories. Flavors which are encapsulated within a polymeric structure stay fresh and stable much longer than naked, unprotected flavors. They are far less prone to oxidation and degradation than flavors placed directly into product contents. The result is the ability to deliver fresher aroma profiles as well as allowing products that stay fresher longer.
Enhance your brand with the power of CompelAroma scented product components and packaging. Since aroma is processed in the same area of the brain where memories and emotions are processed, aroma has the unique ability to drive a visceral reaction for preference, quality, purchase intent and brand loyalty.
While advertising and promotion remain vitally important to brand building, the right aroma and flavor will substantially increase brand awareness and value over time. No one can resist a free sniff, and now you can offer consumers a reason to pick your product up and make it stand out from all the clutter.
Are you looking for a way to make your product stand out? ScentSational delivers confidential help to clients seeking fast-track strategies to enhance their competitive advantage and accelerate market share by utilizing ScentSational's CompelAroma® technologies which is an advanced brand marketing strategy that compels consumers to purchase your brand over and over again.
Do you want to enhance your product with scent or have an idea for a new scented product? Let the experts at ScentSational help you develop and refine your idea from concept to the shelf.

Ashley Roll brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 58 Designs von 18 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
RallyPace is a company bringing new technology to the rally car navigator and driver. We are looking for a cool logo to reflect the speed and action of rally driving and the benefits of our products.
RallyPace is bringing new technology to the rally scene. We are focusing on systems helping the navigator generate and deliver pace notes, but may expand into other areas.
We wish to launch a web site to introduce people to our technology and also provide some community content to allow users to discuss the technology and navigation in general.
We require the following as part of the brief:
- Logo design in Adobe Illustrator or structured in Photoshop to allow scaling and editing.
- Basic web site layout mock-up structured in Photoshop.
- The logo should be mostly typographical in nature, but can not be just a simple font, it must be altered in some way to make it able to be trademarked.
- The logo may incorporate a line-art element evoking rallying, speed, agility or excitement.
- If a line-art element is used, it may form part of the lettering, or may be placed around or over the lettering. However note the requirements for legibility in low colour / low resolution or when screen printed.
- The logo should be predominantly single colour; however a small number of feature colours may be used.
- There must be a monochrome derivative of the logo supplied. The monochrome version should be able to be reversed (white on black or black on white).
- The logo must be able to be rendered to a small size and remain legible when printed on products using screen printing method.
- The logo must be able to be rendered on a low resolution LCD with low colour depth (16 bit or even 8 bit index colour). This means no gradients.
- The basic web page must contain a navigation menu, heading, sections of text with sub-headings, and treatment for inserting photos into the text a page with a caption. The logo must be used and a suitably complementary colour scheme shown.
- The web page must be capable of being deployed with only HTML and CSS. If needed, simple javascript will be used for roll-overs.
- If roll-overs are to be used for navigation menu or other items, the normal and active images of each item are to be provided. Please be aware that the navigation will be developed with a generic set of images and HTML text will be overlayed on the site. That is the navigation text can not be rendered into the roll-overs.
- You are free to choose the layout for the web page. Something contemporary, but not esoteric.
- The logo may not be simply typed in a font.

Wiihabilitation is so 2008 and, yes, Adrian Peterson of the NFL's Minnesota Vikings is doing some of that as he tries to come back from a devastating injury in American football—the torn anterior cruciate ligament. But what's more interesting here is Peterson has a custom set of exergames to go along with ski jumping on the Wii balance board.
The team, in an official video, calls it "Rehab Arcade." A couple minigames shown have Peterson playing a basic side-scroller and top-down scroller, moving a square block out of the way of some descending balls, or navigating a ball through a series of gates. His movement on the leg press controls movement in the game.
The video isn't embeddable, you'll have to see it at the link. It's somewhat fitting for the Vikings, who have notorious gamer Chris Kluwe (ChrisWarcraft on Twitter) on the roster, and for Peterson, who was introduced to Magic: the Gathering by Kluwe last year.

No island in Moreton Bay says 'fun' more than Moreton.
Located in the northern part of the bay, you only need to take a short boat trip from Scarborough or Manly to discover the island's long list of bragging rights.
As one of the world's largest sand islands, adrenaline seekers flock to Moreton for the unique experience of sand tobogganing down the world's tallest stabilised sand dune, Mt Tempest. Guided tours are available along with all the equipment you'll need for a headfirst, high-speed trip down the dune. Tangalooma Island Resort also offers quad-biking tours around the island - their fleet of bikes is one of the largest in the country.
With mysterious shipwrecks and colourful coral reefs, the famous Tangalooma Wrecks provide some of the best diving and snorkelling on the east coast of Australia. The island's idyllic waters are primed for all manner of aquatic pursuits including swimming and surfing, which also happen to be world class on Moreton Island.
Moreton is almost entirely National Park, making it an excellent destination for nature lovers. Tangalooma Island Resort is renowned as one of only a handful of places on the planet where you can hand feed dolphins in the wild. Towards the northern end of the island, the freshwater Blue Lagoon is home to a host of birdlife and wildflowers during spring. The area is perfect for bird watching and bushwalking, with several walking tracks established on the island.
And let's not forget the oldest lighthouse in Queensland, which was first lit on February 14, 1857 and is still standing strong at Cape Moreton. All this is packed onto an island paradise located right on Brisbane's doorstep.
