Billy, who is a gentle bear of a man, started coaching when he was 16 for his nephew's T-ball team. He's coached in a volunteer role every year since, and in recent years has organized travel baseball teams for his son. He also held a paid position as a girls' basketball coach at Fredericksburg Academy from 2003 to 2005.
Back in the early spring, Coach Billy invited my son and several other boys to join him for some evening basketball practices at Battlefield Elementary. Who wouldn't welcome another opportunity to learn from Coach Billy? As each practice ended he would schedule another, and another.
Of course Coach Billy's son was always on hand with his "A-game," but it's clear that Billy lives for this stuff, and coaches for the sheer joy of it.
Just for fun a few years ago, he founded a summer weekend basketball camp in his Kingswood subdivision in Spotsylvania County. With some volunteer help and a nominal fee to cover expenses, the camp grew to include 50 kids this past August.
It was around that time that Coach Billy needed to have the pain in his hip checked out. We heard that it wasn't a pulled muscle, or some other sports-related injury. It was osteosarcoma, a cancer that develops in bone tissue--in this case in Billy's hip and pelvis--and almost always in kids rather than adults.
He has undergone a series of chemotherapy treatments at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore--including one on Thanksgiving Day--and was scheduled to have surgery to remove the tumor this past Friday. The pain and sickness he's endured from complications and side effects are more than most of us could imagine.
As incredibly difficult as this time must be, Billy's wife, Jennifer, has kept the information flowing through an online service called CarePages (carepages.com). She remains upbeat and expresses their confidence that Billy will be up and around soon. And there's always an emphasis on giving thanks to those who have helped out, or simply offered their thoughts and prayers.
She reported recently that they returned home from an elongated stay in Baltimore to discover that neighbors and family members had decorated their home for Christmas, inside and out.

Jetman Yves Rossy Flies in Formation with Jet Planes (Video)OMG, Strange News — By Dave on 2011/11/26 2:35 AM
Yves Rossy, a.k.a. Jetman, completed a formation flight alongside two jet planes from the Breitling Jet Team.
The world`s first jet-powered man jumped off a helicopter with his rigid wing equipped with four jet engines. Adjusting his trajectory and altitude by his body movements alone, Rossy performed aerobatic figures above the Swiss Alps in the company of two L-39C Albatros planes from the Breitling Jet Team, the world`s largest professional civilian aerobatics team performing on jets.
This is not the first time Rossy was flying with planes. The Jetman has already flown alongside two Boeing Stearman biplanes carrying the Breitling Wingwalkers:

ST. PAUL, Minn. (WAOW) - A judge refused to reduce the $1 million bail for the husband accused of killing his wife, a graduate of a central Wisconsin high school, according to the Ramsey County Attorney's Office.
Jeffery Trevino is charged with two counts of second-degree murder in the death of 30-year-old Kira Trevino.
Dennis Gerhardstein, a spokesman for prosecutors, said Jeffery Trevino's attorney requested Thursday that Trevino's bail be reduced from $1 million to something more affordable, perhaps $100,000, arguing that Trevino has family in the area and was not a flight risk.
Prosecutors told the judge that Trevino called his family from jail and asked for a briefcase that was under his bed, Gerhardstein said. Prosecutors say the briefcase contained Trevino's passport,and police already had it.
"We believe he is a flight risk," Gerhardstein said.
Kira Trevino's body has not been found, but police believe she is dead based on the amount of blood found in her home and car. They also say it would be uncharacteristic of her to go missing without contacting friends and family. She was last seen Feb. 21.
Trevino is a 2001 graduate of D.C. Everest High School in Weston.
St. Paul police say they have received more than 50 tips in Trevino's disappearance. The tip line phone number is 651-560-3277.

Researchers develop platform to monitor hematopoietic stem cells
A Canadian research team has developed an automated microfluidic cell culture platform to monitor the growth, survival and responses of hundreds of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) at the single cell level.
This new tool allows scientists to study multiple temporally varying culture conditions simultaneously and to gain new insights on the growth factor requirements for HSC survival.
"Our results will find use in broader applications such as drug development, clone selection and culture optimization," says Lecault.
Lecault explains that HSCs are found mainly in adult bone marrow and have the astounding ability to sustain the continuous production of specialized blood cells.

The Video Review
Does Age of Empires III successfully build upon the path of its forbearers? Find out as GameSpot editor Greg Kasavin tells you like it is in this video review.Watch It | Download It
The Good
- Tried-and-true formula still makes for a complex and interesting strategy game
- Innovative "home city" system creates long-term depth and strategy
- Plenty of content and modes of play
- Spectacular visuals, if you have a fast system.
The Bad
- Some aspects of combat don't look and feel quite right
- Frame rate can bog down at the wrong moments
- Falls into some of the same traps as many older real-time strategy games .
Six years have flown by since Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings became one of the definitive real-time strategy games on the market. Age of Kings typified this style of gaming in many respects, but it innovated and improved the style in many others, establishing the template for untold numbers of historic real-time strategy games to come. Coming off the successful spin-off that was Age of Mythology, Ensemble Studios is back with another installment in the series that put the developer's name on the map. Age of Empires III advances the series hundreds of years into the future, trading swordsmen and catapults for musketeers and cannons, while keeping the series' signature formula basically intact. What's more, the game features some gorgeous visuals and an interesting, inventive twist in its persistent "home city" system. So it's unfortunate that the actual meat-and-potatoes combat of Age of Empires III didn't turn out better, since what ought to be the most fun and exciting part of the game is actually the part that feels like it's seen the fewest improvements.
Make no mistake, Age of Empires III is still an impressive game overall. But fans with fond memories of the previous installment will be left feeling nostalgic for that game. Part of the reason may be purely subjective. The colonial setting of Age of Empires III, which focuses on hypothetical conflicts between European powers vying for control over the New World (that is, an unfettered North and South America), presents a subtler culture clash than, say, samurai fighting Persian war elephants. And the transition through five different ages that's presented in the game, culminating in the industrial age (when locomotives and mass production became a reality), aren't drastically different in gameplay terms, since the magic of gunpowder is available from the get-go. Nevertheless, one look at either Age III's majestic galleons firing all broadsides or horse-drawn cannons readying a deadly payload ought to be all the convincing you need that this is a welcomed direction for the series to take.
Eight different European civilizations are at the forefront of Age of Empires III, though mercenaries from other foreign nations sort of make cameo appearances, and various Native American tribes are also included. The usual suspects are here, like the British, the French, the Spanish, and the Dutch. The Russians, the Portuguese, the Germans, and the Ottomans are also available, and each has certain key differences in its economy and military leanings. These differences are significant in practice, such as how the British automatically gain additional workers when they build new houses, or how the Russians may quickly train up large numbers of light infantry. But the eight cultures' personalities don't necessarily come across in combat, because most of the units and structures unique to each side aren't so unique as to be highly distinguishable, and many units and structures are shared in common across most sides. There are certainly exceptions--the Ottomans, with their heavy emphasis on gunpowder, bring to bear some of the biggest and baddest guns in the game, for instance. And, oddly enough, British longbows seem just as surprisingly deadly here as they did in Age II. It's probably just a necessary consequence of the setting, but don't expect for Age III's factions to blow your mind by how different or unusual they are. Fortunately, each one is complex enough and seems viable enough to where it's easy to find an early favorite and want to stick with it.
Age of Empires III is every bit the fully featured game you'd expect it to be, featuring a lengthy single-player campaign in three interconnected acts, each one a generation apart. There's a fully customizable skirmish mode with five difficulty settings for the computer opponent; there's the ability to play over a network; and, of course, there's the ESOnline player-matching service, where you can compete in ranked matches over the Internet, chat with other players, and more. There's also a scenario editor, in case you wish to create your own maps or campaigns, plus some encyclopedic information about all the game's units, structures, cultures, circumstances, and more. A tutorial is there to teach you the basics, and you can also play a practice match in which a fairly helpful narrator will gently remind you of the stuff you're basically forgetting to do.
When you get right down to it, Age of Empires III plays a lot like Age II. It's been simplified in a number of ways that fans of the past game will quickly notice and mostly appreciate, but the overall flow of gameplay remains very similar. You're put in charge of a fledgling colony in the New World, and you must deploy workers from your town center, who may build new structures and harvest the game's three resources: food, wood, and coin. Stone, which was a fourth resource in Age II, is no longer a factor, and you don't have to worry about creating resource drop-off sites this time around (settlers sent to chop wood, for instance, will just chop away without ever heading back to a town center or lumberyard). A marketplace structure centralizes economic upgrades, and mills and plantations can be built to produce an infinite supply of food and coin, respectively. So later on in a match, you can safely stop worrying about micromanaging your resource gathering--at least until your foes swoop in and damage your economic foundation.
Meanwhile, additional houses must be built to support a growing population, and walls and defensive structures may be used to repel guerilla tactics. Military forces mainly consist of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, and they're trained from separate structures. Most military units can be queued up five at a time, so rather than produce musketeers one by one, you can build a group--provided you have the resources. Presumably this is so you can quickly marshal some defenses if caught off guard, but it's strange that the same amount of time is needed to train one soldier as is needed to train five. You can effectively get an interest-free loan by training your first troop, then waiting until he's almost ready before quickly queuing up four more.

We are Zer0 Tolerance. A Runescape clan based on the Player-vs-Monster scene of the game. Zer0 PvM has been around for several years already and still going strong. The clan welcomes both experienced aswell as 'beginner PvMers'. This allows our community to contain a larger variety of characters and personalities than other clans. Members of Zer0 PvM team up with each other to encounter the bosses in RuneScape with a group of friends instead of random people. In Zer0, you will have the opportunity to make new friends with the same mindset as yourself, with the same goals in the game. Many of our members have become close friends with each other and all will try to build / keep up the great community we've established throughout the years.
Zer0 PvM is therefore a community clan based on PvM, rather than just a PvM clan. Our goals are to make sure every single Zer0 member can kill bosses around RuneScape without getting crashed, to give our members a vast and wide variety of events to go to, upholding the Zer0 pride by showing people around RuneScape which clan "runs" the PvM scene. Aside of those goals, we wish to make a lot of money of course!
We strive to be the best at what we do. We are the #1 anticrash clan of RuneScape. To be able to uphold that goal, we require all of our members to stay active both ingame and on our own forums.
The staff team of Zer0 PvM has been carefully selected upon many qualities and abilities. Some examples: Friendly, Dedication, Creativity, Fairness, Assertive, Integrity and Loyalty. This means our staff team has the capacity to succesfully lead this clan and move it in the right direction. The whole team is always ready to answer your questions and will always help you with anything clan related.
We are Zer0 PvM. We run PvM.

This month has started with some quite radical changes to the clan. The first being changes to our requirements, we have now removed PoP gear as an option to join Zer0 PvM and everyone will be required to have a Nex set or higher.
The second change is to the rank up system. Ranks are no longer applied for, you will all keep a log of your activity which will be checked regularly by staff members, this rank system will be based on points. You can gain points through the old ways of ranking up such as events and anticrashes or you can also now gain ranks when getting PvM item drops with clan mates. For more info - Click Here
November 6 - Runefest, Veteran Rank and more!
It's been around 3 years now since Zer0 PvM was founded by Menace O_o, it's incredible how far the clan has come. Even though there have been ups and downs, Zer0 PvM is still here, and it goes without saying, that is all thanks to the clan members!
Over the weekend around 10 clan members attended Runefest. I believe I speak for everyone who came with us, we had an amazing time! Clan member can click here where you can find pictures, videos and stories from our drunk nights out and Runefest itself of course ;)
Zer0 PvM are hosting a charity event this Saturday. The Well of Goodwill has given us a legal way of donating RS gold, everyone is welcome to attend this event. You can find out more on the RuneScape Official Forums!
Last but not least we have introduced a new rank today. This rank is the 'Veteran Rank', this rank is only for the clan members that have gone the extra distance, with requirements such as having to be part of Zer0 for over a year. Much more information on this here.

The main changes is that you can now join with Mage or Melee and Ranged, we have removed the outdated Bandos gear from our requirements too.
Secondly I'd like to congratulate Tekkers v2 on joining the leader team of Zer0 PvM, he has been a big part of Zer0 for 2 years now and we call all agree he deserves it. Other than this we have a new Event Team with fresh ideas, Vodalo now taking the leader role.

If you didn't compete this time, don't worry there will be contests such as this one in the future when new bosses are released.
- Owain
June 26 - Range and Magic Requirement / Vorago Boss
New bosses and new gear means changes to requirements. All styles of the combat triangle will have a level 90 weapon to go along with it within a few days therefore melee isn't as dominant anymore. We have decided to upgrade both Range and Magic requirements for new members to 99.
Next week a new boss is coming out for us to kill, link to the video : Click Here
There will be contests put up for clan members to take part in later on this week with awards for the winners! Good luck at the new boss Zer0, sadly I will be away on holidays :(

- Owain
June 4 - 96 Summoning Requirement
Title says it all, all current members will be expected to work on increasing their Summoning to 96. New members will be required to have 96. This is because of changes to the tacklebox which means it is not longer usefull in PvM, read below:
Raw fish can now only be removed from a tackle box through a bank. The tackle box also has a new ability: you can teleport an amount of raw fish per day, directly from it to the bank. Finally, the tackle box now has options to deposit raw fish from it straight into the bank, and to empty raw fish into the inventory when viewing the bank interface.
Other additions that can be used for the Ranged weapon requirement:
Range Wep : Zaryte Bow OR Dual CCBS OR Royal Cbow OR Dual Ascensions
- Owain O_o
June 3 - Order of Ascension, 2 Contests
Today a new dungeon was released which contained 6 new bosses to kill! To go with this we have created 2 contests for clan members.
- First unique boss drop
- Best guide within a week of release
Click Here for more information
- Owain O_o
May 11 - Requirement Changes
The time limit to reach requirements set 3 months ago has ended, those that did not get the stats in time have been kicked and will be able to re-apply. We have now decided to increase the requirements again!
- 200 Combat and 99 Defence.
- Range Weapon : Changes to Nex mean a range weapon is most effective on the Zaros phase.
- 96 Summoning or a tacklebox (standard or higher) is now required.
- Off-hand Drygore Weapon
- Void has been removed from the requirement list.
A full, up-to-date requirement list can be found - Click Here

DEALMAKER: You Are My Best Friend
Oh. We like all the same things? That sucks. We hang out all the time and can make each other laugh at anything? Yeah, no thanks. You were the only person there for me when my brother was in a coma? Yeah, I know I was there when your sister went to rehab. Ok, whatever. You know basically everything about me? …And I know everything about you? And we still like each other? Yikes. Yeah, I think you're pretty good-looking too. But, ew, right? I'm eventually going to constantly compare my husband to you? Oh…you, you'll probably do the same with your wife? Gross, dude.
Wait, why is your hand on my boobs? How did my hand get on your ass? Well, okay. Since we're already here. I guess…

Detroit Mayor Dave Bing asked for deep cuts and concessions from unions and city officials to stave off a state takeover. Privatizing streetlights and buses is one part of his plan.
Daniel Mears/Detroit News/AP
Since assuming office as mayor of Detroit two years ago, Dave Bing has challenged the city council and union leadership, saying the city is broke and needs sacrifice on all levels of the private and public sectors to prevent insolvency.
Mayor Bing is now bringing the message to the people. He appeared on local television Wednesday to announce several ways the city can plug the $45 million cash shortfall anticipated next year. If left unresolved, the financial crisis could result in a state-ordered emergency takeover.
Among Bing's proposals:
"Detroit has had, for a long time, some pretty severe economic difficulties and Mayor Bing recognizes that those have to be fixed somehow. The politics of it, of course, are the real trick," says Charles Ballard, an economist at Michigan State University in East Lansing.

Q: How will EyeGiene® help my dry eyes or blepharitis?
A: Both evaporative dry eyes and blepharitis are caused by a lack of meibomian gland oil being supplied to the tear film on the surface of the eye. By warming the eyelids with the EyeGiene Insta-Warmth System, the meibomian gland oil is thinned so it flows more easily onto the surface of the eye.
Q: What temperature does the EyeGiene® System reach? Will it burn my eyelids?
A: The EyeGiene® System is designed to provide 104-105F (40C) of warmth to the eyelids. While this temperature is significantly below the temperature commonly recognized as harmful to the skin, if you are sensitive to warmth, place the warming unit into the eye mask with the empty chamber towards the eye. This lowers the temperature provided to the eyelid by 2F. If it is still too warm for you, stop use.
Q: Does EyeGiene® System get hot enough to melt meibomian gland oils?
A: Yes, in most studies done with warm compresses, the target temperature for assisting in thinning the meibomian gland oils is 104-105F (40C) and this is the temperature provided by the Insta-Warmth System when used in conjunction with the EyeGiene eye mask.
Q: How long does an EyeGiene® warming unit last and how will I know when to take the EyeGiene eye mask off?
A: EyeGiene® System reaches it target temperature within 30 seconds and will continue to provide that warmth for up to 10 minutes. It is recommended that the EyeGiene eye mask be removed when you no longer feel the warmth., which may be longer than 10 minutes.
Q: Can I put two EyeGiene® warming units into one side of the EyeGiene eye mask?
A: You should NOT put more than one warming unit into one side of the eye mask at any one time.
Q: To activate the EyeGiene® warming unit, how do I know which side to squeeze?
A: The chamber that should be pressed firmly to activate the EyeGiene warming unit has "Press" imprinted on it.
Q: Does it come with the EyeGiene® eye mask?
A: The Eyegiene® System starter kits come complete with one eye mask and warming units. The refill kit has only warming units and no eye mask.
Q: Can I wash the EyeGiene® eye mask? How often should I wash it and how many times can I wash it?
A: The EyeGiene® eye mask can be washed by hand with warm soapy water or in the washing machine on the Gentle or Delicates cycle and should last up to 6 months with regular washings. Depending on the severity of your eye condition, weekly to monthly washing is suggested.
Q: Do I need a sink, stove, or microwave to use the EyeGiene® System?
A: That's the beauty of the EyeGiene® System, it's portable and convenient so no microwave, stove, or boiling is ever needed…just activate the warming unit and dispose of the warming unit when it is no longer providing warmth.
Q: Are there any conditions where the EyeGiene® System might not be suitable?
A: As with any product that produces warmth, individuals may react differently, and if there is a concern patients should ask their doctor prior to use. In addition, do not use if you have recently undergone any surgical procedures on your eyes including LASIK or cataract surgery without consulting your eye care specialist first.

Thousands of people are flocking to Nashville this week for the CMA music festival.The event officially starts Thursday, but visitors are already downtown, which means security is already a concern.In light of the Boston Marathon, security is a top concern.Central Precinct Commander Jason Reinbold is aware of the "what if" scenarios.He said that it shouldn't be a concern due to the resources they have downtown and that are not currently any credible threats.Reinbold also said that Metro police will have every available resource working the CMA festival."What we have in place is mounted officers and motorcycles and bike officers. We will have foot patrols and we also have a sky cop, a trailer with a camera that we elevate on a tripod almost 30 feet birds eye view of crowds," he explained.No firearms or weapons are permitted anywhere near the festival grounds, but there are a lot of other prohibited items festival goers should know about, such as back packs and bags bigger than 12 x 12 x 12 inches are not allowed.To read more about CMA security measures and other frequently asked questions, visit their Web site.

This is bad, I know. But when I heard that the New England Patriots let their leading pass receiver, Wes Welker, go to the Denver Broncos, my first thought was not about what you might call "football," but rather about myself, and more specifically, my wallet.
Moments later, came confirmation that I was right to worry. "Mom," one of my sons said, "you can give away my Welker jersey."

Mom Moment
'Home With Dada' Shows Why Dads Really ARE More Fun Than Moms (VIDEO)
Every mom I know, myself included, at some point or another comes to the same sad, inevitable conclusion: Dads are more fun. I know I'm making a sweeping generalization here, but if you've ever left your toddler at home with daddy for an afternoon and walked in the door to find your little one and your husband napping contentedly on the couch in the middle of the biggest mess of toys and Cheerios and crayons imaginable ... well, you know what I'm talking about.
Maybe it's because men are just big, overgrown kids who secretly just want an excuse to play with toys all day long. Maybe it's because they're better at letting go of whatever's on the to-do list and living in the moment. Whatever the reason, this (adorable) video suggest it may have something to do with shirtless bongo drumming.
Called "Home with Dada," the time-lapse video offers "a comprehensive report on the happenings of father and son while mama is away for the afternoon." And guess what? When mama's away, the boys will play. And play. And play and play and play. Watch:
See what I mean? This dad totally devotes himself to the Art of Play. Let's throw a ball! Let's dance on the table! Let's climb in and out of this big box!
Again, I know I'm making a big huge sweeping generalization. Moms are fun, too. But there's a lesson here, ladies. We could be MORE fun.
Do you think dads are more fun than moms?

because they just amke the mess and dont worry about cleaning up after making the messes and because most fathers dont put boundaries to teh kids .
so if all the moms had that chance too im sure they would think moms were funner than they are

My bf is the same way! My kids are a little older now, but I just don't have the energy to get down on the floor and run myself ragged, after working 50 hours a week, cooking dinner, doing everyone's laundry, cleaning the house, etc etc, etc..... But this mom is lucky, "Dada" cleaned up after them! THAT in itself is golden as well!!!

GlowWorm889December 27, 2012 at 10:43 AM
What an adorable video. And he even cleaned up! :D As for being more fun, I think Dads are perceived that way because they tend to come at parenting from a completely different direction than women. Neither are wrong and both are good for children's development.

hellokd87December 27, 2012 at 2:06 PM
It's funny how the first thing some of us said was "WHO IS GOING TO CLEAN ALL OF THAT UP?!" That's the first thought whenever my fiancee has his kids over the weekend. I could swear a tornado blew through. And since they have bad allergy issues half the time we get them there's tissues thrown into the mix. He always says that with our kids I"m going to be a strict and "Unfun" mom but hey, SOMEBODY has to be the disciplinarian or else the whole house would look like a zoo animal ransacked, tornado savaged disaster area. The movie Mrs. Doubtfire popped into mind when I saw the video!!

Brandi, a senior athlete member from Team Blessed Bodies and busy mom, put The Soup-er Cleanse EAT-CLEAN DIET Vegetarian cookbook recipe to the test!
Brandi is currently on-season for her next fitness model competition and has been able to fit this recipe into her on-season diet by using her food program, Fitness Print.
- extra virgin olive oil
- yellow onion
- celery
- zucchini
- chickpeas
- ground cumin
- cayene
- sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- walnuts
- parsley
- lemons
Review By Brandi: "I thought the recipe was good. I really liked it. Has a pretty strong lemon-y taste to it so depending on if you like that or not. This also may depend on if you use fresh lemon or "Real Lemon" out of the bottle (which is what I used).
The soup also has quite a bit of texture to it, so depending on what is palatable to you, you may want to test in between blending to see how smooth you like it. Keeping in mind that it will probably never be completely smooth. Loved the flavours of cumin and lemon together. The nice thing about this soup is that once you've made it, you'll know next time if you want to add more of something (spices) or less, as it's easy enough to do.

It may be a small twinge when you lift something heavy. Or pain that shoots down your arms or legs. Or persistent aches or stiffness. But regardless how it feels, back pain is something 70 to 80 percent of all Americans will experience at some point in their lifetime, according to the National Institutes of Health. In fact, it's one of the top reasons people visit the doctor.
Back pain may be a symptom of a more serious condition that requires medical attention. Read Whats Your Back Pain Trying to Tell You? for more details. But even mild or sporadic pain can be troublesome, especially if it affects your ability to work or play.
Strengthen from within
The good news is that there is something you can do to prevent or lessen back pain and to help you maintain a healthy spine: Focus on your core.
The core is the structural center of your body, providing vital support for your organs and spine. It comprises muscles from the ribcage down to the pelvis. The core includes the abdominal muscles, the diaphragm (an internal muscle that helps you breath), the muscles that help your spine and legs extend and rotate, and the pelvic floor muscles, which stabilize the pelvis and control the bladder and bowels.
"Think of the core as the base from which your arms, legs and head attach and work," says Sheila Dugan, MD, a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist at Rush University Medical Center. "When you have a strong core, if you do experience back pain, the pain will be less debilitating and wont last as long. Having a strong core can also help to prevent many types of back pain."
At the core of the matter
How do you strengthen your core? The answer isn't as simple as saying: Do a lot of sit-ups. Different exercises will work for different people, and the wrong exercises may do more harm than good.
If you are experiencing back pain, schedule an appointment with a spine specialist, such as the experts at the Spine and Back Center at Rush. "We do a comprehensive physical examination to rule out neurologic problems, which can cause serious long-term damage, and to determine your strength and flexibility deficits. We will also find out what could be perpetuating your pain and address those issues," says Dugan.
"Rehabilitation and exercise plans are tailored to meet each persons unique needs. We take into account which of the core muscles is weak and whether a person has any other medical conditionssuch as joint problems, or a prolapsed uterus resulting from pregnancythat may affect the type of exercises they can do. There isn't a list of 10 exercises I give to all my patients, and we're done. Each plan needs to be tailored to the individual and their needs."
There are, however, some general things to keep in mind, whether you are experiencing back pain or are pain-free and want to stay that way.
The spine is your backbone – literally. So make sure to give it the support it needs. "Our goal," says Dugan, "is to help you lead a healthy, active, pain-free lifestyle."
Rush also offers a variety of free seminars each year focusing on issues related to back and spine health, including Spine and Back HealthAsk the Experts on Saturday, May 6, and Wednesday, May 24. For more information and a complete list of free events at Rush, visit www.rush.edu/events.

Chapman University is developing a Physician Assistant Studies graduate program. The program will consist of didactic and clinical curricular excellence that will confer a Master of Medical Science (MMS) degree that will lead to the successful national certification and subsequent licensure of program graduates. The first entering cohort is proposed for January 2015.
The program will be housed in the new state-of-the-art Harry and Diane Rinker Health Science Campus in Irvine, California. The facility is currently in planning and development and will accommodate the educational needs of the program. The existing Physical Therapy program and the new School of Pharmacy will also be housed at this facility.
The information provided herein is in draft form only and will be updated on a regular basis on this website.
The goal of the program is to create a viable collaborative, inter-professional learning experience that will attract high-quality students and faculty necessary to prepare health care professionals entering the health care workforce and meet the needs of the surrounding and global communities.
Chapman University has applied for accreditation provisional from the Accreditation Review Commission on the Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA). Chapman University anticipates matriculating its first class in January 2015, pending accreditation provisional from ARC-PA. Accreditation Provisional is an accreditation status for a new PA program that has not yet enrolled students, but at the time of its comprehensive accreditation review, has demonstrated its preparedness to initiate a program in accordance with the accreditation standards. The program will not commence in the event that accreditation provisional is not received.
Chapman University is one of California's oldest and most respected private universities, offering distinguished undergraduate and graduate degrees in the context of a liberal arts and sciences university. For more than 150 years, Chapman University has served as a symbol of educational access and excellence in the state of California.

Silent Tornado
This review is from: Noctua NF-A14 ULN 140mm Case Fan
Pros: Super quiet technology, soft corners for mounting, no vibrations, moves air
Cons: well, it is large but you knew that
Other Thoughts: The larger the fan blades, the more air you can move at low speeds. I use this on the front of my case to draw air in. Keep it connected with the ultra low fan noise cable (low rpm) and it still moves a good amount of air in.

This review is from: Noctua NF-A14 ULN 140mm Case Fan
Pros: Absolutely Silent with good airflow. comes with rubber attachements to case that can be used for other fans.
Cons: A bit pricy
Other Thoughts: It comes with screws and rubber thingys (i dont know what to call them) that can be used to attach them to the case. Use the Rubber attachments for other fans to reduce friction because the noctua are so quiet that it is overkill to use it on them.

Great cooler
This review is from: Noctua NF-A14 ULN 140mm Case Fan
Pros: Temps are actually quite nice. I have an i5 3570K @ 4.3GHz running at around 68 degrees C. Sometimes though it'll run as low as 60 degrees C. 100% stressed.
Cons: This cooler has two cons. It makes a gargling noise a lot. Maybe it's just me. Also somehow when I mounted the cooler...the receiver screw and screw got stuck together and now can't remove it. I'm sure I'll think of something eventually though.
Other Thoughts: It's a nice cooler. It has some cons. But it's great.

Nancy Ajram quenches her thirst with Coca Cola
Lebanese singer Nancy Ajram has taken advantage of her stay in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Cairo and filmed the remaining scenes of her first television commercial for the International Soft Drink Company Coca Cola. The singer has revealed that she was very interested in doing the commercial especially due to the fact that the idea of it is very similar to a music video.
It has been revealed the song in the commercial was specially written by Bahjat Qamar and distributed by Tareq Madkour. The singer underwent a major makeover to appear in a new look especially for the commercial.
Sources have revealed that Nancy received a wage of two million US dollars to take part in the commercial, which is one of the highest rates given to any Arab singer by an international company.
On a different note, Nancy is expected to take part in the Hello February Festival that is to be launched in early February from Kuwait. Nancy had apologized for not being able to take part in the festival last year due to her previous concerts held during the Muslim holiday Eid Al Adha.

If Dirk Koetter was the Falcons' offseason hire that raised eyebrows, Mike Nolan is the one that should allay fears.
The Falcons hired Nolan as their defensive coordinator on Tuesday. Rest easy. Nolan, whose Miami Dolphins allowed the sixth fewest points in the NFL this season, has been viewed as one of the game's premier defensive coordinators, going back to when then-New York Giants coach Dan Reeves hired him in 1993 at the age of only 34.
If Nolan can't fix some of the team's problems, it will be because of the team's personnel issues, not because of a poor scheme or a lack of direction.
Nolan is known for having strong third-down defenses — Miami ranked seventh this season at 34 percent, the Falcons only 29th at 44 percent — and for creativity in terms of how he uses players on the defensive line.
This season as Miami's coordinator, the Dolphins' finished 15th in total defense but sixth overall in points allowed (19.6 per game). In 2010, Nolan's first season in Miami, the Dolphins ranked in the top 10 in overall, pass and run defense for only the eighth time in franchise history.
Steve Spagnuolo, the recent St. Louis Rams head coach and former New York Giants defensive coordinator, was probably the only hire that the Falcons could have made that would've been perceived as more of a grand slam. But Spagnuolo is weighing several offers and is known to be deliberate in his decision-making process. It would be understandable if the Falcons just wanted to put the matter to rest, rather than risk not getting either Nolan or Spagnuolo.
The Falcons needed a new result in the postseason. That meant they needed a new plan. Short of changing the head coach or the quarterback, they've changed as much as you could realistically expect. Gone are the offensive coordinator (Mike Mularkey), the defensive coordinator (Brian VanGorder), the quarterbacks coach (Bob Bratkowski) and the offensive line coach (Paul Boudreau, who was fired Tuesday).
Nolan's first head coaching job with San Francisco did not go well (18-37). But he has never struggled to get a job on the defensive side of the ball. He has worked in in Denver, New York, Washington and Baltimore, where he overlapped with Falcons coach Mike Smith.
This decision, there's no reason to question: The Falcons got it right.

Well, maybe you didn't use LMAO and this time, but you did when you were posting as CGD. But ALL CAPS? Pretty angry.
AS for my sweet little sister-in-law if you ever saw her you would know the answer to that.

You are either mentally ill, are just stuck on stupid… "Posting as CGD?" You must have the brain cells of 3rd generation Russian Serf who was born in a gulag!
What's taste got to do with sticking it to the Sister-in-law? Your insinuation about "multiple-user personality disorder" already shows you have no sense of judgment!

Unless you can get Julio to play on the O-line and the D-line as well as being a receiver we are still toast. All the coaches in the world cannot win if they do not have talent. We have 15 free agents and no draft choices. Why? Because Dimitroff mortgaged our future for one WR

If Mike Smith can keep his hands off the Defense and let Nolan do his job then things will be fine.
If Mike Smith can NOT keep his hands off the Defense then Mike Smith will be gone next year.
All in all I think this was, indeed, a great hire!

I like Smitty. He is a good man. This one is on Dummytroff. With an aging bunch of free agents, salary cap issues and no draft choices to replace them we will not make the playoffs at all next year. Smitty will get a one year reprieve due to the coaching changes and it being a "transition year" and he will come back to coach in 2013, but remember, we have no draft choices to speak of until 2014 or beyond. Smitty goes two and out, coaching in 2012/13, failing to make the playoffs either year. He will lose his job, the victim of poor decisions on the personnel front, but McKay and Dummytroff will still be roaming the halls of Suwanee. We mortgaged the future for Julio. Sad, but true.

Most of you are "utterly irrational"!!!!!
JSS – When are you going to learn, I see you're still trying to express u'r true knowledge of the game and you are right in most cases. Anyone ever tell you to be patient, humble and unassuming? "NOPE"
Re: the DC hire, i would have much rather seen Spaggs or even Mike Singletary – Nolan is just OK, i think better than BVG!! He will be loyal to Smitty – the bottm-line is players make coaches look like they make it all happen. That being said, we'll see soon enough how good Nolan is on his choice of players he hand picks to bring in to change or put his print on this Falcon team. Remember, Nolan is a true NFL coach!

JS states that the Falcons need a plan to progress.
I think that a good plan, would be for the GM to build a stronger, bigger, tougher OLine, that can protect the passer and that can open running lanes for the runners.
Get an additional back, to go with Turner(someone like the saints Sproiles).
Build a bigger, faster, tougher, defensive front, that can get to the oppposing QB, and not give him all day to look for recievers.
I don't know how Dimitroff can do it, but imo, that is what the Falcons needed in 2011.

Finally. A real NFL head coach with years of proven experience as our DC. A college coach such as Brian Van Gorder never should have been hired. Smitty really took a chance on hiring an idiot that couldn't adjust against good offenses or rookie QBs.

Are you still talking? Do you ever think before you hit the "Submit Comment" button? Your little dog comparison is as silly as your playoff prediction! Shoot, you ought to have the sense to take sabbatical until August after all day long whipping administered the day after Christmas alone…

I just hope Smitty give Nolan carte blanche on all defensive calls. Even though I thought the BVG hire was a bad one, I also think BVG was getting his scheme planning input from Smitty. I hope Nolan has the balls to tell Smith to back the hell off.

Just remember guys – if coaching and running a professional football team was easy, we would all be doing it. TD, MS, BVG, MM, AB are just like the rest of us. They do the best they can, pick the best personnel that is available (in their judgement) and move forward to play the schedule they are given. If some of you are so smart about fixing the problem, fill out an application, jump in and fix it. I'm sure your qualifications will get you the job.

Notice how the Peeshwank trolls from the Bayou will barely come out………….and if they do it's Falcon trash talk under a different handle. No mention of their team going down in flames and being snuffed out in a wispy cloud of smoke off of the Pacific.
The anticipation of eating crow tastes almost as bad as the crow itself. C'mon back, we only want to kick you while you are down.

We should see a ROI on this hire real quick. Great job Falcons! I am excited to see the defense take the lead and let the offense roll hard but steady. Keep improving each year and keep making the playoffs every year is the goal. You can't win or lose it if you are not in it. A full training camp will help us also as we need the offense to become more autoMATTYic.

NFL has a hard cap. There is no luxury tax like in the NBA. The league office advised the teams last month that the cap won't change much from the 2011 amount of $120M, if it changes at all. Depending on what you read and believe the Falcons committed dollars ranges from $96M to $100M. The bottom requirement is $108M. Good news, however, is about 25% of the players will become free agents this offseason. With the large amount of free agents, and no increase in cap spending there will be some really good deals for less than players would have commanded in the past. The Falcons are the 6th lowest in committed money out of all of the teams. There are quite a few teams (including the Panthers) who have some real cap spending considerations to make because the are currently close to the cap or already over (some by as much as $10M). Considering how few picks in the draft we have, free agency will be our playground and we might just be all right. In the end, TD may come off looking like the mad (but brilliant) scientist. Time will tell.

folks, Nolan was out of a job. miami fired the entire staff, he was let go. it might be time to say goodbye to abe, unless he decides to retire here, and take a smaller contract. his productivity is down, and he misses qb's too much. if he would contain the qb, more sack would come, but he dives in too early on qb's, and they tip toe around him, when if he contained the qb, and trap him, others will collapse from the otherside. thats coaching, looking at tape, and making soild adjustments. friggin van gorder was working on his mustache, when he should have been coaching.
Nolan is a tough cookie, and he was the difference in mIami. there D stopped alot late in the season, and they beat alot of good teams at the end.

Blah, Blah, Blah….
All the hiring/firing is a mirage –
Nolan or the other guy, won't put points on the board…
And neither will Matt Ryan – never has, never will…
Until you honestly address that fundamental flaw….
This team is doomed to mediocrity….
Can't get one play outta my mind…the Hail Mary b4 halftime…
With a 3 step windup, he couldnt get it into the endzone from the 45…
He cant throw the ball 55 yds!!!
High school QBs can throw 55 yds!!!

And when you find Canton (because I don't live there) find one for yourself like that child murderer did… The River Stixx has plenty of room for you…
