U.S. military behind Africa news websites
By Jason Straziuso
Associated Press
NAIROBI, Kenya — The website's headlines trumpet al-Shabab's imminent demise and describe an American jihadist fretting over insurgent infighting. At first glance it appears to be a sleek, Horn of Africa news site. But the site — sabahionline.com — is run by the U.S. military.
The site, and another one like it that centers on northwest Africa, is part of a propaganda effort by the U.S. military's Africa Command aimed at countering extremists in two of Africa's most dangerous regions — Somalia and the Maghreb.
Omar Faruk Osman, the secretary general of the National Union of Somali Journalists, said Sabahi is the first website he's seen devoted to countering the militants' message.
"We have seen portal services by al-Shabab for hate and for propaganda, for spreading violence. We are used to seeing that. In contrast we have not seen such news sites before. So it is something completely unique," Osman said.
But although he had noticed prominent articles on the site, which is advertising heavily on other websites, he had not realized it was bankrolled by U.S. military.
The U.S. military and State Department, a partner on the project, say the goal of the sites is to counter propaganda from extremists "by offering accurate, balanced and forward-looking coverage of developments in the region."
"The Internet is a big place, and we are one of many websites out there. Our site aims to provide a moderate voice in contrast to the numerous violent extremist websites," Africom, as the Stuttgart, Germany-based Africa Command is known, said in a written statement.
Al-Shabab and other militants have for years used websites to trade bomb-making skills, to show off gruesome attack videos and to recruit fighters. The U.S. funded websites — which are available in languages like Swahili, Arabic and Somali — rely on freelance writers in the region.
Recent headlines on sabahionline.com show a breadth of seemingly even-handed news. "Death toll in ambush on Kenyan police rises to 31," one headline said. "Ugandan commander visits troops in Somalia," another reads.
Web ads for the site appear on occasion on mainstream websites such as YouTube, and they show a clear anti-terror slant. Ads showing men on the ground blindfolded or Somalia's best known American jihadi, Omar Hammami, entice web users to click. They then access a headline like: "Somalis reject al-Zawahiri's call for violence," referring to the leader of al-Qaida.
The site, which launched in February, is slowly attracting readers. The military said that Sabahi averages about 4,000 unique visitors and up to 10,000 articles read per day. The site clearly says under the "About" section that it is run by the U.S. military, but many readers may not go to that link.
Abdirashid Hashi, a Somalia analyst for the International Crisis Group, said he has read articles on Sabahi, mostly because of advertisements on other Somali websites, but he also didn't realize it was funded by the U.S. He said he has no issues with the U.S. government running a news site.
"I don't think they hide it. That's up there. There's an information war going on, so I don't have any problem with that," Hashi said.
Osman said the articles on Sabahi are accurate and professional. But he said he feared that militants could attack writers who work for the site. Eighteen Somalis who work with media outlets have been killed this year, often in targeted killings.
Somali writers "can lose their life for working for this kind of a news outlet because of the extremists who target any critical voice or news service," Osman said. "The other issue is professionalism, because if someone is intimidated and is threatened all the time then he or she is reduced to self-censorship. He or she would be afraid if he files some important news that he would be targeted."
The military said there are nine writers who work for Sabahi from Kenya, Tanzania, Djibouti and Somalia. The other site — magharebia.com — concentrates on Libya, Algeria, Morocco and Mauritania.
Africom says the websites are part of a larger project that costs $3 million to pay for reporting, editing, translating, publishing, IT costs and overhead. It believes the project is paying dividends.
"The fact that we have seen an increase in website traffic is good news alone. The website's readers provide a significant number of comments on a regular basis, which often reflect their growing frustration and anger with extremist organizations in the region. Those comments are one indicator of a positive effect," Africom said.
Seth Jones, the associate director of the International Security and Defense Policy Center at the Rand Corporation think tank in Washington, said a significant part of the struggle with extremist groups like al-Shabab is ideological and is a battle for the hearts and minds of local populations.
"Based on this reality, the U.S. and other governments should be involved in countering extremist messages on websites and other forms of social media. After all, every Arab government provides substantial money to television, radio, print media, and Internet sites," Jones said.
"They key question for the United States is gauging whether locals view these kinds of news sites as legitimate sources of information and read them. If not, it's worth asking: Is the United States getting a bang for its buck?"

Antenatal Corticosteroids for Fetal Lung Development
Why It Is Used
Betamethasone and dexamethasone are corticosteroids, also called glucocorticoids, that are given before birth (antenatally) to speed up a preterm fetus's lung development. Either is used when a mother is in preterm labor and birth may occur in 24 to 48 hours. This helps prevent Reference respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) Opens New Window and related complications following premature birth.
Many infants born at 33 to 34 weeks' gestation have sufficient lung maturity to breathe on their own. But considering the low-risk, high-benefit nature of this treatment, corticosteroids are typically used up to 34 weeks of pregnancy.

Sixers appear weary in loss to Pacers
PHILADELPHIA — The Sixers didn't exactly shoot the lights out, but the sideline scoreboards that display shooting percentages happened to malfunction. You could call that a coincidence, though "poetic" might be the more appropriate term.
"It was painful," Sixers coach Doug Collins said.
The Sixers' offense failed them during an 88-69 walloping issued by the visiting Indiana Pacers.
Their starters shot woefully, misfiring on all but 15 of their 59 attempts. They committed 15 turnovers. And they held the recently scorching Pacers to 37 halftime points, yet still found a way to lose.
"I just don't think we hit shots, and we got good shots," said Jrue Holiday, who needed 22 shots to score 19 points. "It's been a recurring issue. We got good shots. We just have to knock them down."
Holiday was only part of the problem for the Sixers (21-27), who had the advantage in this one — on paper. Riding a three-game winning streak, in the middle of an eight-game homestand, against a team playing for the third time in three nights, the Sixers weren't expected to play this poorly.
"We looked like the team that played 10 games in 10 nights," Collins said. "That's the kind of energy we played with."
Nick Young went 4-for-13 for nine points, Spencer Hawes' 3-for-13 line was worse and Evan Turner's 1-for-10 effort trumped them all — except for that of Kwame Brown, the experimental starter at center who missed his only attempt and lasted only six minutes.
The Sixers' offense was so bad, they even flashed into a zone defense for stretches of the first quarter. At least it looked like a zone.
"We didn't play any zone tonight," Collins said. "Maybe it was us just standing there and we looked like we were playing zone." Continued...
Collins said the Sixers played flat-footed against Indiana. They were reluctant to get out on the break, especially against a team that shot nearly as poorly (32-for-82) as they had (31-for-90).
Failing to push the ball only led to bad things, Collins said.
"I was telling our guys, 'Get the ball up the floor early, please,'" he said. "Teams that get into us frustrate us. That's what they do. Then we start dribbling too much. I kept telling them to move the ball, move the ball, and the ball was stuck. We didn't get side to side, we didn't run the right plays. We just were not mentally in the game."
Those who turned out to Wells Fargo Center expecting some more magic from the streaking Sixers started heading for the exits with more than half the fourth quarter remaining. And those remaining couldn't even muster the strength to lob a few catcalls toward the arena floor.
That is, until the Sixers waved the white flag and allowed a pair of easy buckets inside the final minute.
The Sixers had their moments — like when Dorell Wright and Lavoy Allen combined for three blocked shots on one possession, or when Wright found that shooting stroke that had gone missing for so many weeks, or when Arnett Moultrie turned in his best game of the season.
The silver lining in the streak-busting defeat was Moultrie. The rookie big man, who had scored 18 points all season, totaled 10 points before the third quarter had come to a close. He finished with 12 points.
Moultrie's play wasn't enough to eradicate a night of poor decision-making from the Sixers against a weary Indiana squad.
"They played better than we did," Holiday said.
The simplicity of that statement was almost poetic. Continued...

In Topic: How to make a plaster cast of a flat slab piece?
Posted 4 Dec 2012
I don't remember making a cast from I fired tile, so I'm not to much help in that area. I know that there are some great discussions about plaster casting in the posts. You can buy mold release for plaster casts, I use Murphy Oil Soap and it works for what I do. I tryed vasaline once and it made the cast soft, also the plaster has to be able to absorb moisture and I think the Vasaline would hamper that. Maybe my oil soap does too never though about that part before. Potters Plaster is at least 5 headachs better than hobby grade molding plaster, It is not hard enough does not hold up. I don't know what you bought. If your carvings have under cuts you will not be able to get them loose from the cast no matter how much release you use. I don't know how deep your cuts are. That's the few things that I know. Try looking back through the old posts, there are some very talented and skilled artists out there. The next one reading this may have just the thing.

In Topic: Tile warping in glaze fire

Marcia Selsor, on 27 November 2012 - 07:59 AM, said:
Kabe, You are correct that glaze tension can cause warping. The coefficient of expansion and contraction is a factor in this.
Hi Marcia. A friend of mine said someone in one of his college classes made some tile and when they were fire the tile "cupped" I guess that would be the word. They were like upside down bowls. I thought about this abit last night and maybe that would be more like a situation where if the glaze was on a pot it might of shivered and if thetile warped the oppisite way and the edges all pulled up it would be like crazing. It would be interesting to manipulate a glaze both directions and apply the test glazes to thin tiles and observe the effects. happy firing -
In Topic: Tile warping in glaze fire
Posted 26 Nov 2012
I do tile work and seldom have warpage but I mix my own clay and use a lot of grog. Let me ask this as a question because I might be way off base here. Could it be that the glaze is to tight and instead of crazing you are getting shivering. Seeing that it is a flat tile and not a circular surface maybe the edges are pulled up by the difference in thermal expansion. I know that shivering can tear a pot apart. I have a glaze that will break a porcelain pot everytime I try it. I do not know what glazes you are using or if all your tiles warp or just certain ones. Maybe someone who is better informed could tell if this is possible. Happy firing -

Not only are Melissa's shoes fun, avant-garde, odorless, and surprisingly comfortable, but they're eco-conscious to boot: Since they're constructed from only one material, they're conveniently recyclable.

The White Hands Choir is part of the El Sistema Special Education Program, which was founded in 1995 in order to integrate people with handicaps into society more fully through music. Here, children with and without handicaps meet and enjoy playing together. The idea of uniting children with physical and mental handicaps, children with difficulties hearing and even deaf-mute children in one chorus was born in 1999. The unusual ensemble is divided into two groups: children with movement, visual and cognitive disorders form the actual chorus. Their singing is transformed by the other group, children with impaired hearing, mute or deaf-mute children, into an expressive choreography of flowing hand movements, their hands clad in white or coloured gloves. World-famous conductors like Simon Rattle and Claudio Abbado have been deeply impressed by these children. Today, twelve such choruses exist in Venezuela, and their extraordinary abilities have attracted international attention through recordings and TV broadcasts for stations in Germany and Switzerland. Following the invitation from the Salzburg Festival, the White Hands Choir travels abroad for the first time to present two live concerts at the Mozarteum Foundation. For the organizers in Venezuela and Salzburg, but most importantly for the handicapped children and teenagers, this presents an enormous challenge.

Music as a means to change society. This vision of José Antonio Abreu stood at the beginning of the initiative El Sistema. And this vision has become reality. More than two million children have profited from El Sistema in Venezuela since its founding; currently almost 400,000 children, mainly from disadvantaged social strata, are learning an instrument and making music in the country's ensembles and orchestras, gaining a new perspective on life. In the meantime, the movement has spread around the world. More than one hundred similar projects all over the world have taken inspiration from this great philosophy, believing passionately in the power of music. We share this passion and are convinced that El Sistema at the Salzburg Festival will contribute to strengthening existing initiatives – like superar – and providing new impulses for the realisation of similar projects in other countries, especially in Central and Eastern Europe.

El Sistema
"For the children we work with, music is practically the only path to a social existence in human dignity. Poverty means loneliness, sadness, anonymity. An orchestra means joy, motivation, teamwork, striving for success." José Antonio Abreu
El Sistema – The Miracle. In 1975, José Antonio Abreu, conductor, composer and economist, developed the idea of improving social conditions in his country through classical music, by giving children an alternative to life on the streets. In Caracas, he founded the first Venezuelan children's orchestra with twelve children from the barrios, the illegal suburban slums. Since then, he has built a network of orchestras and music centres – El Sistema – throughout the country; each of these teaches in the same unique way. The focus of this method of music education is on the ability to play together, which is why the children are integrated into orchestras from the very beginning. The transfer of knowledge from older to younger children is also part of Abreu's intention and philosophy: to him, an orchestra is first and foremost a community in which children learn to listen to and respect each other. Thus, the goal is to integrate them into a social network in which every individual takes responsibility and contributes to the results achieved jointly. Maestro Abreu has been able to build upon and expand his vision continuously over the course of more than three decades. The children's orchestras turned into youth orchestras and the music centres into academies where highly talented musicians study. During recent years, El Sistema has produced a whole series of internationally successful conductors, the most well-known of which is surely Gustavo Dudamel. At the present time, there are 286 music centres in Venezuela, the so-called nucléos, usually located at the edge of a barrio. Today, the Fundación Musical Simón Bolívar (the national system of youth and children's orchestras and choruses of Venezuela) unites almost 400,000 members throughout the entire country in a system of preschool orchestras, children's orchestras, and youth orchestras, all the way to adult symphony orchestras and choruses. 75 % of the children and teenagers participating in the programme live below the poverty line.
As part of the 2013 Salzburg Festival, this visionary and exemplary project will be presented for the first time in a larger context and in its full diversity outside of Venezuela. To achieve this goal, the Salzburg Festival has invited not only the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra – the orchestral training programme's flagship, which has appeared previously in Salzburg – but also five of El Sistema's other ensembles. The selection of ensembles, especially the invitation of the White Hands Choir (which unites children and teenagers with various disabilities), makes it clear that El Sistema is primarily a social project, which does its utmost to integrate as many social groups as possible, instead of excluding anyone.
Simon Rattle, who has been closely associated with El Sistema and has championed it for many years, will convey his enthusiasm for El Sistema to Salzburg's audiences, along with Gustavo Dudamel and many other artists.
Apart from the symphonic and choral concerts, there will also be a chance for encounters and exchanges with institutions and initiatives from Salzburg and Austria. One example is the participation of children who are members of superar (the Austrian El Sistema initiative) in the grand opening concert of the El Sistema residence on July 24, when Mahler's Symphony No. 8 will be performed under the baton of Gustavo Dudamel; another is a joint project of members of Venezuela's Children's Orchestra and members of the Mozart Children's Orchestra of the Salzburg Mozarteum Foundation.
The Salzburg residence of El Sistema features not only concerts, but also symposia, workshops and conferences. Altogether, during the summer of 2013, far more than one thousand children and teenagers will travel from Venezuela to Salzburg, together with their teachers and accompanying persons.
At each of their concerts, the most convincing element of the Venezuelan children's and teenagers' performances is their boundless enthusiasm and their passionate music-making. Surely, the large-scale Salzburg residence of El Sistema will bring important impulses for new developments and efforts in Europe to introduce children and young people to classical music and joint music-making. LEICA will commission renowned photographers to document the project.

Most recent work completed: WHQ: Barbarian
In 2012 I aimed to paint 4 models a week, and although it didn't go quite as smoothly as that, I actually managed to better that aim, getting 212 models complete over the course of the year. Now (2013), I have even more models to paint! The main projects will continue to be my Dark Eldar army and the models needed to play the Warhammer Quest core game, but also I am also aiming to collect (and paint!) the monsters needed to play the Lair of the Orc Lord WHQ expansion and the Level 1 roleplay table. I have already made significant progress on the collecting side of things! I also took an interest in Soda Pop miniatures' Super Dungeon Explore game last year, picking up the core game and the caverns of roxor expansion, and Malifaux from Wyrd miniatures. I only have a single crew so far but I anticipate picking up others as time goes on! That's a quick low down of what I will be painting in 2013, starting on page 28, but here is a full summary of my model collection as it stands:
- Dark Eldar ~4000pts (2736pts finished and counting)
- Imperial Guard ~4500pts (basically finished)
- Eldar (A squad of Dire Avengers half painted)
- Lizardmen ~6500pts (3/4 painted)
- Goblins ~1500pts (~1/2 of the models painted)
- Dark Elves ~3000pts (mostly gaming standard but want to improve)
- Warhammer Quest: Creating my own copy of the core game set from scratch (65/91 models, 8/34 tiles finished)
- WHQ Extra stuff: roleplay tables and expansions: (29/85 that I own painted)
- Blood Bowl: Talabheim Tossers. 15 man human team (Finished!)
- Dreadfleet (COMPLETE!)
- Whole load of LOTR models without much in the way of armies
- Malifaux - Lucius' crew so far (0/5 models finished)
- Super Dungeon Explore - core game (0/52 models finished)
- Caverns of Roxor (0/37 models finished)
Last updated: 7th May 2013
================================================== ==============
Hi! welcome to my first attempt at a plog! Im hoping that having this will help me keep painting and modelling, especially during the long weeks when I get back to university, as well as help me improve my skills. All comments and criticisms welcome!
I've been collecting GW miniatures for about 8 years, and unfortunatley have the habit of collecting far faster than I paint! As such I have large collections for all 3 main game systems which will probably feature here in time. So heres a rough guide to my collection when I started this plog:
Anywho! Enough talking already lets get some pictures! Im afraid these are my first attempts at photographing models so I apologise if they're not that great. Any hints and tips in that department would be greatly appreciated!
First of all my recently converted Dark Elf Dreadlord on Dragon (thought I'd better justify my name!)
And a pic of just the rider:
Also the Lord Commissar from my Imperial Guard army, the Halon 22nd:
Cheers for reading!

Comment posted Now see for yourself: For Argyll challenges anyone to say SPR plans for Argyll Array at Tiree are acceptable by Jade.
According to the Minutes of a recent Mull Community Council meeting at which a representative of SPR gave information on the possible route of the transmission lines, the ones they are looking at are the sea route south of Mull to just north of Oban and the route through Loch Na Keal to Salen, down to somewhere near Craignure and then over to Oban and down the road to Dalmally.
Jade also commented
- According to the SPR, the land route from Loch na Keal would be put underground; same for following the road down to "somewhere near" Craignure. The same will apply for the stretch on the mainland to Dalmally – it'll be road hell on and off for two years!
The Tiree Array will also be visible from the road running down from Reudle; that amazing view of Beinn More, Gribun cliffs over the Ross to Iona and the Treshnish.

Does this mean no more bunkhouse facilities? - First Minister's choice not to condemn mob behaviour proves Farage point
Sorry, but I have to back up Keith McMillan. I know both Brum and Leeds and there are no go areas. I was never bothered in the slightest until I had to spend 2 years of hell in the latter. The intimidation was astonishing, even in broad daylight in major shopping areas. Even when we could stand it no more, the bullying and threats received when selling my property and Asian families wanted to move in resulted in police action when two males of the family trapped me in the garage and grabbed hold of me telling me to sell. That resulted in police action. Sadly, the behaviour of these people reflects badly on those (such as our little local store) Asians more than willing to integrate and work hard.I support no political party so have no axe to grind. It may be that Scotland is lucky in that it has not seen these no go areas and immigrants are more willing to integrate.
As far as this debacle is concerned, I don't think any of the parties behaved well, but I was shocked by Mr Salmond's attitude.

Internationally best-selling author of Last of the Amazons, Gates of Fire and Tides of War, Steven Pressfield delivers a guide to inspire and support those who struggle to express their creativity. Pressfield believes that "resistance" is the greatest enemy, and he offers many unique and helpful ways to overcome it.
©2002 Steven Pressfield (P)2004 Recorded Books, LLC
"Trying to beat the Resistance."
When I am being overwhelmed by the resistance so I read/listen to the book again. Would that be considered yielding to the Resistance? Either way it is a great book. A must listen!!
"Good, Interesting, not amazing"
This book is broken into three parts, the first two are fantastic. He identifies and analyses what blocks an artist from accomplishing their work. It is something that everyone - artist or no - can relate to. The last part is a little too fuzzy and spiritual for my tastes - but at least he warns you about it first.
"Fighting through procrastination."
The book title seems to indicate that it's only for creative types -- I would disagree. Anyone who is passionate about their work, or is trying to find how/what to be passionate about in their life can take away some valuable lessons from this book. If you suffer from procrastination, or lack the passion to finish projects -- this book is the kick in the butt you may very well need. It's a short read/listen, but it's well worth it; I would recommend multiple reads to keep yourself inspired.
"Good for writers and procrastinators"
Interesting way to think of the creative process (or war). Probably the best quote "It was easier for Hitler to start WWII than to face the blank canvas."
YES! I'm a working artist, and its a hard road, but if feels good to hear someone GET IT! and talk form that place of knowing. first book ive ever gifted.
VERY interesting hearing about the muses
least favorite part of the book. part of the charm is the casual yet astute writing, this over dramatized read just doesnt match. but STILL i listened to it twice so ....
YES, and i did ... twice. and i will again.
there is something important about knowing some one understands your struggle. YES this topic has been covered but the concise simplicity and humor, just made this STICK for me, and several other artists i know ...
"Was expecting a bit more"
The book is fine as it is and very well written. I was just surprised on how short it was.
This book isn't for entertainment purposes. It's more of a self-help guide.
"I have given this book to at least 10 friends"
No - But common sense is not always common practice. It helps to listen to it again and again
Steven Covey's 7 habits is a good one because we all need to understand that we are the captain of our own ship.
Can't say that I had a favorite.
Let the magic of art flow through you.
"A must-have for anyone creative (or not)"
This book will acquaint you with Resistance in all it's cunning disguises, so you can face it down and get on with your Work. This book is not only for artists, writers, or other creative types. I think it would be helpful to anyone who can't seem to lose a bit of weight, kick the drinking habit, or commit to taking the actions toward whatever eludes them. It's probably Resistance, and this book will show you what to do about it.
"a little left brain, a little right brain"
Interesting riff on the creative path. Pressfield does a good job of opening the kimono on what it takes to start, to continue, to deal with rejection and to learn how to enjoy the journey.
"Great Book by a Decorated General in War of Art"
This book was a really helpful tool for me because for the first time, I actually heard someone put in to words a lot of the forms of resistance that I deal with on a daily basis.
Hearing someone else talk about my often unnamed demons reinforced the reality of my experience.
It was a fun book with lots of great ideas to help me push through some of my self-imposed limitations. I've definitely noticed an increase in personal productivity since starting this book. Will likely listen to it many more times.
I read one review that complained about the age of the narrator. Silly comment. It was written by a person who has lived a full life and accumulated lots of experience in his area of expertise. It would have sounded ridiculous being read by someone much younger sounding. It was just a reminder that so many people are so erroneously youth obsessed.
I highly recommend this book for anyone dealing with resistance in creative pursuits in the arts or even in starting a new business.
Good stuff!

Our schedule is not very tight, by the way. Any advise if you have done this before? Thanks!

Common causes of low back pain include lumbar strain, nerve irritation, lumbar radiculopathy, bony encroachment, and conditions of the bone and joints. Each of these is reviewed below.
- Lumbar strain (acute, chronic)
A lumbar strain is a stretching injury to the ligaments, tendons, and/or muscles of the low back. The stretching incident results in microscopic tears of varying degrees in these tissues. Lumbar strain is considered one of the most common causes of low back pain. The injury can occur because of overuse, improper use, or trauma. Soft-tissue injury is commonly classified as "acute" if it has been present for days to weeks. If the strain lasts longer than three months, it is referred to as "chronic."Lumbar strain most often occurs in people in their forties, but it can happen at any age. The condition is characterized by localized discomfort in the low back area with onset after an event that mechanically stressed the lumbar tissues. The severity of the injury ranges from mild to severe, depending on the degree of strain and resulting spasm of the muscles of the low back.
The diagnosis of lumbar strain is based on the history of injury, the location of the pain, and exclusion of nervous system injury. Usually, x-ray testing is only helpful to exclude bone abnormalities.
The treatment of lumbar strain consists of resting the back (to avoid re-injury), medications to relieve pain and muscle spasm, local heat applications, massage, and eventual (after the acute episode resolves) reconditioning exercises to strengthen the low back and abdominal muscles. Long periods of inactivity in bed are no longer promoted, as this treatment may actually slow recovery. Spinal manipulation for periods of up to one month has been found helpful in some patients that do not have signs of nerve irritation. Future injury is avoided by using back-protection techniques during activities and support devices as needed at home or work.
- Nerve irritation
The nerves of the lumbar spine can be irritated by mechanical impingement or disease any where along their paths—from their roots at the spinal cord to the skin surface. These conditions include lumbar disc disease (radiculopathy), bony encroachment, and inflammation of the nerves caused by a viral infection (shingles). See discussions of these conditions below. - Lumbar radiculopathy
Lumbar radiculopathy is nerve irritation that is caused by damage to the discs between the vertebrae. Damage to the disc occurs because of degeneration ("wear and tear") of the outer ring of the disc, traumatic injury, or both. As a result, the central softer portion of the disc can rupture (herniate) through the outer ring of the disc and abut the spinal cord or its nerves as they exit the bony spinal column. This rupture is what causes the commonly recognized "sciatica" pain that shoots down the leg. Sciatica can be preceded by a history of localized low-back aching or it can follow a "popping" sensation and be accompanied by numbness and tingling. The pain commonly increases with movements at the waist and can increase with coughing or sneezing. In more severe instances, sciatica can be accompanied by incontinence of the bladder and/or bowels.
Lumbar radiculopathy is suspected based on the above symptoms. Increased radiating pain when the lower extremity is lifted supports the diagnosis. Nerve testing (EMG/electromyogram and NCV/nerve conduction velocity) of the lower extremities can be used to detect nerve irritation. The actual disc herniation can be detected with radiology testing, such as CAT or MRI scanning.
Treatment of lumbar radiculopathy ranges from medical management to surgery. Medical management includes patient education, medications to relieve pain and muscles spasm, cortisone injection around the spinal cord (epidural injection), physical therapy (heat, massage, ultrasound, electrical stimulation), and rest (not strict bed rest, but avoiding re-injury). With unrelenting pain, severe impairment of function, or incontinence (which can indicate spinal cord irritation), surgery may be necessary. The operation performed depends on the overall status of the spine, and the age and health of the patient. Procedures include removal of the herniated disc with laminotomy (a small hole in the bone of the lumbar spine surrounding the spinal cord), laminectomy (removal of the bony wall), by needle technique (percutaneous discectomy), disc-dissolving procedures (chemonucleolysis), and others.

- Bony encroachment
Any condition that results in movement or growth of the vertebrae of the lumbar spine can limit the space (encroachment) for the adjacent spinal cord and nerves. Causes of bony encroachment of the spinal nerves include foraminal narrowing (narrowing of the portal through which the spinal nerve passes from the spinal column, out of the spinal canal to the body), spondylolisthesis (slippage of one vertebra relative to another), and spinal stenosis (compression of the nerve roots or spinal cord by bony spurs or other soft tissues in the spinal canal). Spinal-nerve compression in these conditions can lead to sciatica pain that radiates down the lower extremities. Spinal stenosis can cause lower-extremity pains that worsen with walking and are relieved by resting (mimicking poor circulation). Treatment of these afflictions varies, depending on their severity, and range from rest to surgical decompression by removing the bone that is compressing the nervous tissue. - Bone and joint conditions
Bone and joint conditions that lead to low back pain include those existing from birth (congenital), those that result from wear and tear (degenerative) or injury, and those that are from inflammation of the joints (arthritis).- Congenital bone conditions—Congenital causes (existing from birth) of low back pain include scoliosis and spina bifida. Scoliosis is a sideways (lateral) curvature of the spine that can be caused when one lower extremity is shorter than the other (functional scoliosis) or because of an abnormal design of the spine (structural scoliosis). Children who are significantly affected by structural scoliosis may require treatment with bracing and/or surgery to the spine. Adults infrequently are treated surgically but often benefit by support bracing.
Spina bifida is a birth defect in the bony vertebral arch over the spinal canal, often with absence of the spinous process. This birth defect most commonly affects the lowest lumbar vertebra and the top of the sacrum. Occasionally, there are abnormal tufts of hair on the skin of the involved area. Spina bifida can be a minor bony abnormality without symptoms. However, the condition can also be accompanied by serious nervous abnormalities of the lower extremities.
Degenerative bone and joint conditions—As we age, the water and protein content of the body's cartilage changes. This change results in weaker, thinner, and more fragile cartilage. Because both the discs and the joints that stack the vertebrae (facet joints) are partly composed of cartilage, these areas are subject to wear and tear over time (degenerative changes). Degeneration of the disc is called spondylosis. Spondylosis can be noted on x-rays of the spine as a narrowing of the normal "disc space" between the vertebrae. It is the deterioration of the disc tissue that predisposes the disc to herniation and localized lumbar pain ("lumbago") in older patients. Degenerative arthritis (osteoarthritis) of the facet joints is also a cause of localized lumbar pain that can be detected with plain x-ray testing. These causes of degenerative back pain are usually treated conservatively with intermittent heat, rest, rehabilitative exercises, and medications to relieve pain, muscle spasm, and inflammation.
Injury to the bones and joints—Fractures (breakage of bone) of the lumbar spine and sacrum bone most commonly affect elderly people with osteoporosis, especially those who have taken long-term cortisone medication. For these individuals, occasionally even minimal stresses on the spine (such as bending to tie shoes) can lead to bone fracture. In this setting, the vertebra can collapse (vertebral compression fracture). The fracture causes an immediate onset of severe localized pain that can radiate around the waist in a band-like fashion and is made intensely worse with body motions. This pain generally does not radiate down the lower extremities. Vertebral fractures in younger patients occur only after severe trauma, such as from motor-vehicle accidents or a convulsive seizure.In both younger and older patients, vertebral fractures take weeks to heal with rest and pain relievers. Compression fractures of vertebrae associated with osteoporosis can also be treated with a procedure called vertebroplasty, which can help to reduce pain. In this procedure, a balloon is inflated in the compressed vertebra, often returning some of its lost height. Subsequently, a "cement" (methymethacrylate) is injected into the balloon and remains to retain the structure.
Arthritis—The spondyloarthropathies are inflammatory types of arthritis that can affect the lower back and sacroiliac joints. Examples of spondyloarthropathies include reactive arthritis (Reiter's disease), ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and the arthritis of inflammatory bowel disease. Each of these diseases can lead to low back pain and stiffness, which is typically worse in the morning. These conditions usually begin in the second and third decades of life. They are treated with medications directed toward decreasing the inflammation. Newer biologic medications have been greatly successful in both quieting the disease and stopping the progression.
What are other causes of low back pain?
Other causes of low back pain include kidney problems, pregnancy, ovary problems, and tumors.
- Kidney problems: Kidney infections, stones, and traumatic bleeding of the kidney (hematoma) are frequently associated with low back pain. Diagnosis can involve urine analysis, soundwave tests, or radiological scanning of the abdomen.
- Pregnancy: Pregnancy commonly leads to low back pain by mechanically stressing the lumbar spine (changing the normal lumbar curvature) and by the positioning of the baby inside of the abdomen. Additionally, the effects of the female hormone estrogen and the ligament-loosening hormone relaxin may contribute to loosening of the ligaments and structures of the back. Pelvic-tilt exercises are often recommended for this pain. Women are also recommended to maintain physical conditioning during pregnancy according to their doctors' advice.
- Ovary problems: Ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, and endometriosis not infrequently cause low back pain. Precise diagnosis can require gynecologic examination and testing.
- Tumors: Low back pain can be caused by tumors, either benign or malignant, that originate in the bone of the spine or pelvis and spinal cord (primary tumors) and those which originate elsewhere and spread to these areas (metastasize). Symptoms range from localized pain to radiating severe pain and loss of nerve and muscle function (even incontinence of urine and stool) depending on whether or not the tumors affect the nervous tissue. Tumors of these areas are detected using radiological tests, such as plain x-rays, nuclear bone scanning, and CAT and MRI scanning.
What are uncommon causes of low back pain?
Uncommon causes of low back pain include Paget's disease of bone, bleeding or infection in the pelvis, infection of the cartilage and/or bone of the spine, aneurysm of the aorta, and shingles.
- Paget's disease of bone: Paget's disease of the bone is a condition of unknown cause in which the bone formation is out of synchrony with normal bone remodeling. This condition results in abnormally weakened bone and deformity and can cause localized bone pain. Paget's disease is more common in people over the age of 50. Heredity (genetic background) and certain unusual virus infections have been suggested as causes. Thickening of involved bony areas of the lumbar spine can cause the radiating lower extremity pain of sciatica.
Paget's disease can be diagnosed on plain x-rays. However, a bone biopsy is occasionally necessary to ensure the accuracy of the diagnosis. Bone scanning is helpful to determine the extent of the disease, which can involve more than one bone area. A blood test, alkaline phosphatase, is useful for diagnosis and monitoring response to therapy. Treatment options include aspirin, other anti-inflammatory medicines, pain medications, and medications that slow the rate of bone turnover, such as calcitonin (Calcimar, Miacalcin), etidronate (Didronel), alendronate (Fosamax), risedronate (Actonel), and pamidronate (Aredia). - Bleeding or infection in the pelvis: Bleeding in the pelvis is rare without significant trauma and is usually seen in patients who are taking blood-thinning medications, such as warfarin(Coumadin). In these patients, a rapid-onset sciatica pain can be a sign of bleeding in the back of the pelvis and abdomen that is compressing the spinal nerves as they exit to the lower extremities. Infection of the pelvis is infrequent but can be a complication of conditions such as diverticulosis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, infection of the tubes or uterus, and even appendicitis. This is a serious complication of these conditions and is often associated with fever, lowering of blood pressure, and a life-threatening state.
- Infection of the cartilage and/or bone of the spine: Infection of the discs (septic discitis) and bone (osteomyelitis) is extremely rare. These conditions lead to localized pain associated with fever. The bacteria found when these tissues are tested with laboratory cultures include Staphylococcus aureus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB bacteria). TB infection in the spine is called Pott's disease. These are each very serious conditions requiring long courses of antibiotics. The sacroiliac joints rarely become infected with bacteria. Brucellosis is a bacterial infection that can involve the sacroiliac joints and is usually transmitted in goat's milk.
- Aneurysm of the aorta: In the elderly, atherosclerosis can cause weakening of the wall of the large arterial blood vessel (aorta) in the abdomen. This weakening can lead to a bulging (aneurysm) of the aorta wall. While most aneurysms cause no symptoms, some cause a pulsating low back pain. Aneurysms of certain size, especially when enlarging over time, can require surgical repair with a grafting procedure to repair the abnormal portion of the artery.
- Shingles: Shingles (Herpes zoster) is an acute infection of the nerves that supply sensation to the skin, generally at one or several spinal levels and on one side of the body (right or left). Patients with shingles usually have had chickenpox earlier in life. The Herpes virus that causes chickenpox is believed to exist in a dormant state within the spinal nerve roots long after the chickenpox resolves. In people with shingles, this virus reactivates to cause infection along the sensory nerve, leading to nerve pain and usually an outbreak of shingles (tiny blisters on the same side of the body and at the same nerve level). The back pain in patients with shingles of the lumbar area can precede the skin rash by days. Successive crops of tiny blisters can appear for several days and clear with crusty inflammation in one to two weeks. Patients occasionally are left with a more chronic nerve pain (postherpetic neuralgia). Treatment can involve symptomatic relief with lotions, such as calamine, or medications, such as acyclovir (Zovirax) for the infection and pregabalin (Lyrica) for the pain.

The Macon County Arts Council has just finished the installation of a 12-ft by 16-ft mural on Lafayette Square.
The art project was funded by the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee through a private donation, and completed by local artist Linda Johnson.
The mural, which has been hung on the side of Cathy's Florist, depicts Union Camp Falls in ten paint colors. It was done in six pieces. Local teen volunteers donated at least 24 hours total of time, putting a second coat of paint over Johnson's first coat.
A mural dedication will be held in May (more information to come).

White House proposes unidentified tax hikes, new stimulus spending; GOP rejects plan
(MCT) — WASHINGTON — The Obama administration Thursday offered to get the nation off the fiscal cliff with a package that includes $1.6 trillion in tax increases over 10 years, more controversial spending to stimulate the economy and a permanent solution to the fights over raising the nation's debt ceiling.
The plan was quickly derided by Republicans, with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., branding the offer as "completely unrealistic."

5 Pastels That Are Hot Right Now -- and How to Wear Them
Top makeup artists fill us in on the best ways to try this trend without looking like a bowl of jellybeans
Minty green eyeshadow
We know what you're thinking: You're going to end up looking like a McDonald's Shamrock Shake. Rodriguez says minty green eyeshadow, while definitely a bolder look, can be worn no matter what your skin tone. Proof: Pale-skinned Kristen Bell, olive-toned Kim Kardashian, and darker-skinned Rihanna all have worn the emerald hue without ending up in a "What Were They Thinking?" roundup. Here's how you can wear this hue:Eyes: Apply Stila Eye Shadow in Cha Cha, $18, all across your lid, in the inner corner, and along your lower lashline. Then draw a thick black line along your upper lashline, winging it out for a retro spin, says Rodriguez. Finish with lots of black mascara.
Cheeks: Apply bronzer on the hollow of your cheeks, on your temples, and along your hairline. A sun-kissed bronze will provide a base for the green to pop.
Lips: Wear a browny nude lipstick to keep the focus on your eyes.
