The American West has been an integral part of my life, and my heart, for all of my days. If, like me, you care about the West, and care about preserving both a way of life that still matters to the soul of our nation -- as well as some of the last great places on earth -- then you owe High Country News a debt of gratitude...I am grateful to them for shining a light where it's needed and for giving us a kick in the rear when it's necessary. Generations to come will experience the West in a way that may not have been possible if not for the labors of the High Country News. Their work is more important now, than ever. The High Country News is a great investment.
Backbone Media
As a planning agency that deals with national, regional, local and hyper-local media outlets, we are always on the search for the 'best in class' media partners that can reach our target customers. High Country News goes so far beyond that classification that we consider this ad buy untouchable. We all know that HCN has set the editorial bar for covering the environment, life and culture in the West, so partnering with High Country News is viewed as a privilege, an honor to have our client's messaging be included in the thoughtful perspectives and balanced commentaries that fill each issue. But it goes beyond 'what, when and where' they are writing about, beyond the excellence of 'how' they deliver their message; it is a publication we are proud to support simply because of 'why' they exist, they inspire us to care.

Syl Johnson
BiographySyl Johnson brought a big, dripping gob of down-home Memphis soul to his native Chicago Blues. Though he fronted many top bands in the 1950s with his impassioned vocals and harp work, he really caught fire as an R&B act in the '60s. He combined James Brown's urban funkiness with sheets of Al Green's chicken shack sensuality. Johnson tackled social issues on his album Is it Because I'm Black years before Marvin Gaye, Sly Stone or Stevie Wonder got politicized. He came out of retirement in the '90s after discovering how often young rappers were sampling his songs.

The end-of-the-year firing of ineffective skippers started a little early this baseball season, as the Cleveland Indians decided they couldn't wait six more games to fire Manny Acta. Acta has been dismissed as Indians manager, and Sandy Alomar, Jr. has been named the Indians' new interim manager for the remaining six games of the season.
Under Acta, the Indians went a horrible 5-24 in August, the worst single month in the Indians' 110-year franchise history . People, that 110 years includes a lot of bad baseball.
Firing Manny Acta and hiring Sandy Alomar, Jr. is a great way to get Cleveland fans to show up as the Indians play out the dismal string of season-ending six-game home stand. Alomar is wildly beloved in Cleveland, having played catcher for the Indians through the 1990s when the Indians were sensational and won two pennants. You can be confident that Tribe fans will clamor for Alomar's permanent instatement, even if the team goes 0-6 in the coming week.
Interestingly, this weekend's Indians-Royals series has serious playoff implications even though neither team can make the playoffs.
Popularly known as "Sandy" but actually named "Santos", Alomar was the 1990 AL Rookie of the Year, and made the All-Star roster six times as an Indian. I'm not sure he has ever paid for a meal in Cleveland. Alomar was hired as the Indians first base coach in 2009, and has been recently serving as bench coach.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer notes that Terry Francona is also a likely candidate for the Indians. But history tells us that the trendy free agent in any given given off-season typically does not choose Cleveland.
If the Indians organization had a notion to fire Acta and try Sandy Alomar, the time to do it would have been weeks ago. Six games is not much to see what Sandy Alomar, Jr. is made of as a manager. The Indians play the Royals three times this weekend, then close out Monday through Wednesday with three games against the White Sox.
Manny Acta went 214-266 in three seasons coaching Cleveland, for what it's worth.

Building a Better Website
Someone once said:
"If you build a better mousetrap, the world will beat a path to your door."
First you have to let the world KNOW you have a better mousetrap.
Then you may have to convince them that they HAVE mice!
A better website will market your business, educate your customers about key benefits, and MORE!
We believe there is a difference between a "website" and a "successful on-line presence." If your website is not making you money, and/or saving you money, it is simply costing you money!
We ensure that YOUR website becomes an invaluable tool for your business by implementing some, or all, of the following components:
Implementing a Web Strategy
We start with a Strategy Planning session and together we focus not on what your website should look like, but on what it should DO for you and your business. We utilize our M.A.G.I.C. Marketing Formula and other analysis tools to plan the optimum website for your business... We review the 6 purposes of a website and implement the ones that make sense for YOUR business.
On-Going Support
By making us your out-sourced Internet Technology department, your business becomes our business - ensuring your website is managed and maintained according to your strategy as your business grows and evolves.
"A website is never completed, it is abandoned."
A website is a work in progress and is meant to grow and develop as your business does. We keep your website dynamic by laying the foundation, then continuing to adapt it to the ever-changing needs of your business.
Affordable Web Solutions
If you have ever had a webmaster go "AWOL" on you, there are now tools available to put the control in YOUR hands. We don't necessarily recommend this unless you have the time or interest, but you can actually build a website yourself with these tools. What we do recommend is to consult with us so we can find the best tools for you, possibly assist you in setting up your website (saving you the upfront time and learning curve) AND can show you how to update the information yourself if you so choose... We look for the best options for your business and your situation.

Artist's Statement: Drawing inspiration from the sociopolitical vein of street photography spanning from the work of Robert Frank to that of contemporary artists such as Zoe Strauss, I make images that speak to our common longing for progress that is never coming. My aesthetic is an explosive color that mimics the circus and visibly captures the past in the present moment. I do not stage scenes or engage actors, instead preferring the approach of the street photographer. While moving physically and emotionally toward merriment, the subjects of my photographs are stuck no place in particular, in small towns or overcrowded cities. In spite of excess, their expectations are unmet, their lives gone unfulfilled. - Robyn Day

text: good to know it's my fault. fine, i'll just keep my mouth shut for the rest of my life. never tell anyone anything because apparently all it does is ruin everything. i'm not allowed to form feelings about things on my own or tell people how i feel. i thought was a good thing, but i guess it isn't anymore. you wonder why i talk quietly and when you ask what i said i say nevermind and why bother, this is why. because no one cares and then when you do it fucks up my whole life. i feel like i'm going to pass out. i don't even know what to do.

Sweet Pea is yelling "good night mommy, I love you" from her bedroom for the one hundred thousandth time this evening which is stalling the writing process of this post. It is exactly one of the moments I had in mind when I sat here to write. Life has twists and turns given to us from the hand of God. Moments in time of sweetness or sorrow. This moment, as I listen to my daughter, is one of sweetness.
Listing these moments of sweetness and sorrow would be a breeze. You know how I love making lists… Grab your paper and draw the line down the page; put sweetness on one side and sorrow on the other. Leave a large blank space at the top. In a minute, I'll tell you why…
Getting writing…
- Loved one has cancer? sorrow
- Family dinner with all present? sweetness
- Birth of a child? sweetness
- Mystery pain you're going to the doctor for? sorrow
Now at the top of your paper write these words….
Because every moment whether in your deepest sorrow or on a mountain top experience; the joy of Christ and the future glory of heaven is better than this. Savor the sweetness and the sorrow but when things get rough give yourself a taste of the bigger picture from God's hand. One day we will behold HIS glory and it will be BETTER THAN THIS.

In the '80s, Victoria Principal could do no wrong as good girl Pam Ewing on "Dallas" -- and today she's still all right.
Here's the 34-year-old back in 1984 (left) -- and 25 years later, the 59-year-old updated version at an event in Malibu last week (right).
She's a well-oiled machine.
Okay so were is the BAD DOCS button????????
If that pic is from last week, why does the year say 2008? I think your editor needs a stronger cup of coffee!
TMZ, you need to add a third option to these polls: Doc should be sued. That is the option I would choose here. Appears as if they used jaw breakers from the gumball machine for cheek implants.
This is a joke, right?
She looks terrible.
No real ageing here, it's all plastic, and done horribly at that.
Oh Victoria, why?
She looks like a chipmunk. She's not even attractive.
Je*us F***king Christ - this isn't good genes OR good docs! I agree with whoever else said she is a hot mess. She looks terrible. If she is going to sell a skin care line the least she can do is hire a model to represent. She has not aged well. At all. And I am willing to bet from the neck down she hasn't aged well either.
I had sex with her when we were both young & still have the rash to prove it.
linda gray who played sue ellen and is 68 is gorgeous, vicky looks terrible. in guess she should have gotten tasteful plastic surgery done, instead of the joan van ark/joan rivers version.
Victoria and I were both Army brats in Japan except that she was born there while I moved there from the states in the late 40's as a military dependent during my pre-school years. She's holding up well.
She has had ner nose done, she had the cutest nose now look at the after pic? yuck
plastic face over botroxed scary alien
she used to be so attractive, i guess all that creams she sells in her victorias beauty stuff didnt work on her
I love how her husband collected cash off her fortune and he's called Dr McGreedy? Same stuff happens every day when actors/athletes break up with their wives and yet no one says boo about these greedy women.
I've always thought she was overrated pre-plastic surgery. And cheek implants are the work of the devil. They always look freakish.
A couple of weeks ago TMZ had a similar survey involving Linda Gray who played Sue Ellen. Linda has aged gracefully and looks beautiful. Wether she had a lil help is unsure but she certainly had it done right. Victoria looks horrible. She doesn't even look like herself. How does she have a skin care line??? Who buys it with her as a spokesmodel??? Victoria should have followed her Dallas co-stars lead and just age gracefully.
I agree with several of the comments made. I don't think it's good genes because if she hasn't had surgery then she needs it but if a doctor has done this to her, she needs to sue! She hasn't aged well!
She probably thought 25 mil was nothing compared to what Glassman probably knew about her after 20 odd years. Anyway, of course she had work done. Andy Gibb said it prior to dying that she was so insecure after the surgery, with the swelling and bruising, that he had to constantly reassure her that she looked fine. Poor guy, he was really in love with her and was never quite the same after she dumped him...which many believe led to his death at such a young age.
They should show pics of her when she was messing with Gibb. Her nose was wider, and I believe her nose job was her first bit of work; it changed her appearance dramatically. After that she jumped on the plastic surgery bandwagon and married Glassman so she could nip/tuck at will and keep it quiet.
Also, it was rumored right after the time she broke up with Andy Gibb that she was older than everyone thought. Hence, not only the surgery (because she was beginning to age), but the breakup because Andy knew she was older and she didn't want it to get out. Unfortunately, Andy was distraught after the breakup and, because of his bitterness, "told all" prior to his death.

Indianapolis now has an ordinance on the books that's aimed at boosting the number of businesses owned by people with disabilities that win city contracts.
Mayor Greg Ballard signed a City-County Council ordinance into law Thursday that creates the city's new Disability Business Enterprise program. That program sets a 1 percent goal for city and county spending on businesses owned by entrepreneurs with disabilities.
Ballard says it will "encourage those who never thought possible the dream of starting a successful business" to seek a piece of city public works projects and contracts for goods and services.
U.S. Census Bureau figures show that one in five Indianapolis residents has a disability, but 70 percent of them live in poverty and only 18 percent are employed.

Seasonally adjusted trucking employment peaked in January 2007 at more than 1.45 million, according to BLS figures. Since then, for-hire trucking companies have shed 203,100 jobs, or 14 percent.
The jobs report for the overall economy was very positive, relatively speaking, with a loss of only 11,000 jobs on a net basis.

OOIDA files suit against Minnesota
The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, which is already suing the Minnesota State Patrol over its fatigue checklist, has filed a second suit against the state regarding commercial vehicle inspection citations.
On Nov. 19, OOIDA filed a class action lawsuit seeking refunds on these citations issued to truckers before Aug. 1 and to expunge them from motor carrier and driver records.
The suit, filed in Minnesota District Court for the Fourth Judicial District, charges that before August, the state never adopted the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's regulations into state law and that the U.S. Department of Transportation never authorized Minnesota to enforce federal regulations. Therefore, before the state adopted the rules, the State Patrol was not authorized to enforce these actions against interstate carriers or their drivers. State Patrol officials declined to comment on the lawsuits.
The new suit charges these citations and out-of-service orders issued before Aug. 1 deprived drivers and carriers of due process offered under state and federal law. The statute of limitations would require fines imposed for six years prior to the suit be returned, the association said.
OOIDA filed the first lawsuit May 13 with the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota for truck drivers placed out of service and sometimes fined after what it charges was the State Patrol's arbitrary conclusion that the drivers were fatigued. OOIDA charges the patrol lacked authority to impose the orders, that the drivers were not allowed a hearing and that the state had not clearly defined fatigue.

Colin McEnroe Show: The Arguments For Arguments
Does arguing ever get us anywhere?
I wasn't sure I understood the main idea of today's show... Until I talk to Bill Curry. That doesn't happen very often. I mean, I talk to Curry pretty much every day, but I usually don't end up feeling less confused.
But here's what he helped me see:
The United States of America is based on a series of notions about reasonable people and about reason and pragmatism being such powerful forces that they can overthrow established power (the British empire) and/or baser impulses, like greed and the hunger for power.
But to have that work, we have to have structures in place that facilitate the good kind of argument -- the kind that leads us to the truth.
The remaining model for this is our court system, in which there are still very strict rules about how we can argue.
President Obama has bet his entire style of governance on the notion of reasonable argument. And somehow, it doesn't seem to be working. We might find out why not during today's show.

Wristband monitors hand washing in health care
The startup IntelligentM wants to make hospitals healthier by encouraging workers to clean their hands properly, reports Technology Review. Its solution is an RFID-reading, motion-sensing wristband which buzzes to let health-care working know if they wash their hands properly.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that some 100,000 people a year in the United States alone die because of infections that arise from hospital visits. A lot of these infections occur because doctors, nurses, and technicians don't wash their hands well enough. The problem has garnered more attention lately, in part because hospitals are no longer reimbursed for expenses related to treating hospital-acquired infections. IntelligentM is just one of many companies trying to address this problem with technology; other solutions include dispensers that measure the amount of liquid used, chemical sensors that sniff out the presence of soap or sanitizer, and RFID-based systems that know the location of each cleaning station and whether a hospital worker has been there. IntelligentM's wristband reads RFID tags on hand-washing and sanitizing stations. An accelerometer can detect how long an employee spends washing; the wristband buzzes once if it's done correctly and three times if it's not. 'Over the last two years, we have developed a technology that allows us to alert health-care workers on the spot if they aren't washing or sanitizing according to the [Centers for Disease Control] specifications,' says IntelligentM president Seth Freedman. Because RFID tags are also placed outside patients' rooms and on some equipment, Freedman says, the system alerts health-care workers to clean their hands before doing a procedure that carries a high infection risk, such as inserting a catheter. It also collects data from the bracelets through a micro USB connection at the end of each shift, which gives hospital epidemiologists a chance to see how each employee is doing. Read more

Zombies, Vampires, and Things That Come Back to Life: A Rabbi's Take on Halloween and Beyond
Kids' fascination with the undead goes far beyond one holiday, but it's a perfect time to talk about Jewish traditions around death
Since it does not involve direct physical contact with the dead, sh'mirah is a less threatening form of sacred fellowship service. It requires no specialized training or materials and can be organized even in the absence of taharah. Contrary to our fears, the dead are actually vulnerable and, after all these centuries, still in need of our vigilance against body-parts trafficking and other forms of criminal desecration—by the living. (Who's the ghoul now?)
A sacred fellowship does not eliminate our questions, fears of death, or grief in the face of loss. There are times when reality pushes us much too close to our nightmares. But when the fabric of our lives is torn apart, the hevra kadisha helps to weave it back together. When "nothing" can be done, the hevra kadisha goes to work. Sorrowful and sometimes even stunned—as when our hevra responded recently to the tragic death of a young child—we step forward as a community to offer what we can: quiet presence and simple actions to accompany the dead as well as the living.
It's not necessary to believe in an afterlife in order to volunteer, but participation can offer a powerful sense of belonging to something greater than ourselves. We discover doors and windows that open through the walls of our worst fears into loving service, and our lives are enriched—one might even say "hallowed"—in the process. It's a tradition worth sharing with our children throughout the year.
Berman tells the story of a 3-year-old girl whose mother served as a sacred fellowship dispatcher, making calls to schedule volunteers after a death. "One day Talli was playing telephone with an imaginary friend. As she spoke into the receiver, she announced: 'This is the Kadisha Kadisha.' A moment of silence followed and Talli said, 'Oh, I'm sorry you are not available tonight. I'll call you next time.' "
There are about 70 adult volunteers on call to my sacred fellowship in Brooklyn, and many are or have been parents of young children at the time of their involvement. Each of our current co-chairs gave birth to her youngest child and returned soon afterward. All the volunteers are vigil-keepers, and some have recruited their teenagers to sit with them. Children learn by example that showing up for the dead is part of what makes a caring community—and that if you're not available tonight, it's OK. We'll call you next time.
There is no Jewish Day of the Dead to follow Halloween, but it is traditional to honor the hevra kadisha once a year with a festive dinner. I encourage sacred fellowships to open their annual dinners to the community at large. The most popular date for this dinner is the 7th of Adar, considered to be the anniversary of the death of Moses. This also happens to be exactly one week before Purim.
Every year before the annual dinner, I fast on behalf of the hevra and visit one of our local cemeteries, where I seek the graves of those who have been watched over and cared for by our sacred fellowship. The gates are circled with brisk traffic, and it's not the intimate wooded clearing of my childhood designs. Still, leaves rustle with ru'akh (Hebrew for both wind and spirit) through the scattering of trees on the grounds.
I could bring students there, but for now I keep it simple and meditative. I take my time reflecting and praying at each of the graves. Among them is a grassy plot reserved for my body, to be one day laid to rest under the same sacred fellowship care. Meanwhile, as long as the breath of human life is within me, my position on zombies is that I don't want to deaden my experience of a lifetime.

Goffstown, Hooksett discuss school deal
Acting Superintendent Brian Balke and Hooksett Superintendent Charles Littlefield met Tuesday to discuss accepting all or some of Hooksett students.
"Their ability to take Hooksett students depended on the outcome of Dunbarton's vote," Korkosz said.
The Hooksett School Board recently authorized Littlefield to enter into contract negotiations with Pinkerton Academy in Derry to send most of the district's students there beginning next September.
"I'm not sure if we will be entering into an agreement with a single district," he said. "We're looking at the possibility of an anchor school, which is Pinkerton, and a satellite school with other districts. It's a plan in progress, and no decisions have been made but I anticipate we will make a decision shortly."
"Pinkerton can take all our students, but it is quite a distance for some Hooksett students," Littlefield said.
Hooksett high schoolers have been attending Manchester schools. But last year, Hooksett sent notice to Manchester alleging the city was in breach due to staff cutbacks, crowded classrooms and limited course offerings. The Manchester School District filed suit against Hooksett to enjoin its students from leaving.

NUCCA Practice-Based Research Initiative
Inter & Intra Examiner X-ray Reliability Study
Cervicogenic Temporal Mandibular Disorder (CTMD)
Manuscript Preparation of Completed Research for Publication
Introduction & Perspective
Throughout the history of the chiropractic profession, the belief that a bone in the spine is fixed in an abnormal position (subluxated) and when the spine is adjusted, the bone is corrected to a normal position. This has been the nemesis of scientific investigation and research for years. Even to this day few chiropractors and researchers have been aware of the ability of upper cervical chiropractors to measure misalignments of the cervical spine using angular (rotatory) relationships. Fewer still are aware of the ability of upper cervical chiropractors to apply the correction principle and return a "subluxated bone (joint)" to a normal position.
During early chiropractic investigations and education, the focus of care was on the upper cervical spine. Over time, this focus shifted to the entire spine creating a shift in belief systems between upper cervical and "full-spine" or "segmental" chiropractors. Few resources have been dedicated to research to test the upper cervical proposition that spinal misalignments (abnormal position) create mechanical distress that has a global affect on the nervous system, body posture, and normal physiology.
Chiropractic research has been focused on the effectiveness of spinal manipulation therapy regarding the outcomes of a wide range of symptoms, pain relief, and increasing the mechanical range of motion. This has been practiced to the near exclusion of determining what is biomechanically and neurologically normal. This also includes identifying what forces should be used to correct spinal misalignments and what forces produce common spinal misalignments. There are no studies showing the negative health effects of chronic spinal misalignments.
Research Goals
The Spinal Model project specifically addresses what is biomechanically normal. Once a biomechanical normal is established, then measurements become less relative, more absolute and scientifically acceptable. After biomechanical normal is established, we will assess the effects of misalignments/mal-position of both cervical vertebra and head-neck relationships, as well as the effect of forces the head-cervical spine and forces producing malposition of both cervical vertebra and head–neck relationships.
Modeling Technique
The stress strain relationships, material behavior, geometry, loads and constraints on any structural component can be represented by a set of equations. However, as the complexity of the geometry (i.e., the shape of the component), loading conditions and the constraints in an engineering problem increase, it becomes impossible to find an exact solution to this set of equations. Finite element analysis is a numerical technique that is used to find an approximate solution to this set of equations.
The engineering-problem in finite element analysis is represented by what is called a finite element model. In a finite element model, the geometry of the structural component is divided into small parts/mesh. Each of these small parts is called an "element" and the points where these small parts connect to each other is called a "node". Appropriate material properties are assigned to each element. Therefore, intuitively, as the size of the element becomes smaller, the model more closely represents the actual material continuity that exists. As the mesh is refined, the model shape will match more closely to the actual shape.
The University of Toledo Spine Research Laboratory's ABAQUS software is used for finite element analysis. Previously, 3-D finite element models have been made of the lumbar, thoracic, and cervical spinal segments. These models incorporated all the details of the segment including the ligaments, facet joints, the intervertebral discs, vertebral bodies, etc. The material properties of various tissues have been adapted from the literature and from in-house data.

NUCCA Practice-Based Research Initiative
Demonstrating Relevance of the Atlas Correction
Introduction and Perspective
The Upper Cervical Research Foundation (UCRF) understands the wisdom and necessity of establishing practice-based research (PBR) to provide relevant data to produce research and publications for use by both the biomedical community and the policy makers that influence services provided and compensation for those services. PBR can contribute to the clinical and health services knowledge base on usual and customary clinical practices, particularly in terms of data on practice and patient characteristics that may modify treatment outcomes.
Our major concerns with establishing a research network are for developing infrastructure that will support practitioners' data collection efforts without intruding on their practice activities or compromising patient care while collecting high-quality data regarding their patient populations.
NUCCA practice-based research will make important contributions, distinct from those of clinical trials, in investigating ways to improve health and health care. The current health care marketplace, in which quality assurance and practice guidelines are increasingly important, the ability of PBR to gather data on practice and patient characteristics is particularly valuable. Neither the individual researcher in an academic center nor the busy practicing NUCCA practitioner can undertake meaningful research efforts of this kind.
Research Goals
The goal of this project is to develop systematic methods of describing patients and measuring their health outcomes in an actual NUCCA chiropractic practice. The data yielded includes various types and proportions of patients seen in chiropractic practice and describes features that correlate with other factors (such as region, age, education, type of technique employed, practice philosophy, etc.). In addition, the effectiveness of NUCCA chiropractic care (outcomes) for a variety of conditions seen in actual practice can be assessed. Variables would include quality of life and patient satisfaction. It may be possible to establish correlations between variations in chiropractic technique, frequency, and duration of care on patient outcomes.
Finally, through PBR training, some practitioners will develop dependable, solid research skills. It is the network of these doctors that Randomized Controlled Clinical Trials can be conducted. Of particular importance is training and planning for a Phase Three clinical trial in the investigation of Hypertension and the NUCCA correction. A Phase Three clinical trial has never been funded or performed in the history of chiropractic research
Institutions and Administrator
Life Chiropractic College West in Hayward, California will provide the institutional infrastructure and support for NUCCA PBR to include; the institutional review board, for the data collection, quality assurance and management. Chuck Woodfield, DC, RPh, with more than fifteen years of research experience in the chiropractic field will be the administrator for the NUCCA Practice-based Research Network.
Estimated Costs to Establish NUCCA PBR (First Year)
Introduction and Perspective
One of the research objectives of the Upper Cervical Research Foundation is to determine the percentage of the American population influenced by the Atlas Subluxation Complex (ASC). It is simply not enough to determine the biomechanics, the mechanisms and the relationship to symptoms, conditions and diseases.
Misalignment of the atlas vertebra is hypothesized to disrupt neural traffic of brain stem nuclei in the medulla oblongata. The misalignment results in postural imbalance or "spastic contracture" of the extensor muscles which is observed as unequal leg length when examined with the patient in a supine position. It is reported that an atlas misaligned to a very small degree has a resultant leg length inequality (differential). A difference in the leg length of more than one quarter of an inch is an indication of the presence of the ASC
The recent association of the atlas misalignment with elevated blood pressure in double blind placebo controlled study in Stage 1 hypertensive patients was initially assessed using the Supine Leg Length Check (SLC) test. The SLC checks for an apparent "short leg" or leg length inequality (LLI) or physiologic LLI. The use of a validated screening test would identify people with hypertension and atlas misalignment who could reduce their pill burden while further reducing their blood pressure.
Of utmost importance to fund and complete this study is the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(NHANE) National Institutes of Health (NIH) initiative that 'measures' communities health status. NHANE can field test the SLC and obtain important atlas misalignment (ASC) prevalence data. There is discussion for medical doctors to adopt the SLC to screen their patients to refer to a NUCCA practitioner to determine the status of atlas alignment.
Background and Significance
General chiropractic testing for LLI occurs with the patient in the prone position. Multiple investigations of intra-and inter- examiner reliability in implementation of the prone test procedure has been well documented. While the apparent leg length differences have acceptable reliability, the validity of this test is still questionable.
There has been little funding or interest to provide a unified, valid and reliable method to assess functional LLI indicating Atlas misalignment. One recent study, however reports the SLC may have clinical validity as a stand-alone test for recurring back pain. Validating the SLC test could also have ramifications for identifying people with Atlas misalignment and correcting it to reduce arterial pressure. Further research will establish a unified method by which to assess atlas misalignment.
Research Goals
The broad objective of this proposal is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the SLC test to define the presence of atlas misalignment. Additionally, the study will assess examiner reliability by using a variety of practitioners. The underlying hypothesis of this study is that the use of the standardized SLC procedure reliably detects a misaligned atlas vertebra.
The true prevalence of atlas misalignment in the general population is unknown. This research proposal provides a plan to validate the Supine Leg Length Check (SLC) and provide reliable data for the SLC test leading to standardization. With validation, it could become an effective screening and referral tool for use by the general medical community.
Study Design
The SLC test requires validation in a broad spectrum of the population especially those most vulnerable to co-morbidities resulting from uncontrolled hypertension, i.e. Black Americans. To evaluate a diverse population demography, the Pacific Northwest has been chosen to perform the assessments. These sites also provide quality examiners experienced in following research protocol. The validity examiner (VE) is a licensed chiropractor; NUCCA certified having at least 10 years of practice experience. To assure quality and standardization of the SLC, each examiner is required to participate in certification training before enrolling patients.
Physician Certification for SLC
All Study Site Examiners must participate in a 6-hour training and certification course to assure consistency and repeatability of the SLC procedure. Instruction occurs at the biannual NUCCA conventions. The Examiner must demonstrate the ability to reliably and accurately determine a difference in LLI of ¼ in, 80% of the time and 3/8 inch 95% of the time to become certified. The literature describes that "inter-examiner reliability of manual diagnosis in the examination of the cervical spine should be improved by standardizing the examination process and setting guidelines for documentation and evaluation criteria. Controlled and frequently repeated training sessions also contribute to the reproducibility of findings from manual examinations.
Certification requirements include: a) repeatable, accurate subject placement avoiding procedural errors that can skew results; b) repeatable, accurate examiner body positioning to provide accurate checks; c) repeatable accuracy of examiner hand placement, and procedure of actual check; d) ability to determine an apparent short leg with 100% agreement of peer examiners; e) ability to determine a ¼ inch 80% of the time and 3/8 inch difference 100% of the time.
Visit 1: Initial Assessment
The initial visit following enrollment primarily explains the protocol, confirms inclusion criteria allowing for an informed consent signature. The candidate is not pressured and may return at a later date. All required demographic forms including a complete health history are completed. The subject is randomized, determining further advancement to the SLC reliability examination. Appointments are made with the other examiner offices for the follow up leg checks. If scheduling permits, the initial Validity Examination could occur. The subject is scheduled for visit 2.
Visits 2&3: Validity Examination
The subject is treated like a 'new patient' maintaining office 'flow' preventing disruption. During this visit the subject's leg length will be checked per protocol and results recorded. The standardized SLC procedure as described by Gregory(5), currently used by NUCCA, Orthospinology, Grostic, and Atlas Orthogonal practitioners, is described in the Appendix.
The subject completes the normal office paperwork as required for new patient visits. The VE examines the subject according to standardized NUCCA protocol by performing the SLC. For study purposes, the equal finding does not preclude participation in further examination. Data is recorded on the form supplied. The practitioner records LLI reading greater than ¼ inch, yes for LLI and no for equal and estimates the difference in inches. Equality is assessed on head rotation and results recorded describing the original short leg as either 'going long' or 'going short.
Posture is assessed using the Anatometer. The Anatometer quantifies body distortion, measures the degree of vertical pelvic tilt, pelvic rotation in the horizontal plane, and lean of the spinal column at the shoulder level (fixed point). It measures subject's weight bearing on each foot, reported in percentage of total weight.
As the final step, an orthogonal radiographic exam is conducted according to NUCCA protocol. After recording the atlas alignment 'listing' results on the provided collection form, all markings from atlas alignment analysis are removed. The coordinator packages and sends the films to the X-ray reading
Visit 4: Follow-Up Visit
During this visit the participant, based on their randomization at the beginning of the study, will return to the chiropractor's office and have a SLC recheck either by the same practitioner or another one in the local area to ensure reproducibility of the procedure.
All data are sent to a central UCRF Data Coordinating Center for final statistical analysis.

Inter & Intra Examiner X-ray Reliability Study
Confirmation of Orthogonal Radiographic Procedure Establishing Atlas Misalignment
Introduction and Perspective
Numerous chiropractic theories and hypotheses have been used to describe the misalignment of bones in the spine and their impact on human health and quality of life. Many of these ideas have not held up to scientific scrutiny. Using gravity as a constant, the capability of establishing a normal position on a vertical axis for the position of the pelvis, spinal vertebrae and skull has led to the discovery of a normal position for the atlas vertebra and the body skeleton.
The three words used for caring for spinal misalignments have been manipulation, adjustment and more recently, correction. The word correction has been used in connection with a segment of the chiropractic profession known as upper cervical chiropractic. Of the major systems of upper cervical chiropractic several of them have used measurements on X-rays based on an orthogonal axis. The orthogonal axis is the intersection of the three cardinal planes, the frontal, transverse and sagital.
X-rays of the skull and cervical spine are taken from three perspectives: lateral, vertex and nasium. These three views form the basis for the orthogonal axis. A line analysis is used to measure the angular relationships between the atlas and skull (rotation) on the vertex view representing the transverse plane. Measurements are made between the atlas and skull (laterality) and the atlas and the cervical spine representing the frontal plane on the nasium view.
Years of clinical investigation and thousands of pre and post X-rays taken by doctors practicing the NUCCA procedure and doctors using other upper cervical procedures have given rise to the biomechanical analysis of the misalignment and the establishment of the vectors necessary to correct deviations of the structures to their normal position on both the vertical and orthogonal axis.
Previous studies have been conducted by practitioners who do not have adequate experience or do not have certification in positioning patients for the X-rays or have not demonstrated competency in identifying structures or drawing lines for angular measurements.
This study will be research investigating the work of Board Certified NUCCA practitioners who have demonstrated both competency and proficiency. It is designed to help overcome the bias that remains from earlier theories and hypotheses suggesting that misalignment of spinal vertebrae are not measurable on X-ray.
Research Goals
The validity of orthogonal X-ray analysis sets a standard for the evaluation of the use of manipulation, adjustment or correction in treating spinal and spine related conditions. The confirmation of an orthogonal radiographic procedure helps establish the misalignment of the atlas vertebra as predictable and reproducible phenomena for further investigation. This study is also fundamental for investigating the incidence and prevalence of the Atlas Subluxation Complex in our society with its postural distortion and resulting leg length inequality.
The specific aim of the study is to demonstrate that NUCCA Board Certified practitioners can mark and measure x-rays used to determine atlas misalignment with-in ½ degree, in laterality and rotation, with 90% agreement and to determine atlas misalignment and subsequent correction after adjustment procedure.
Study Design
Inter- and Intra- Examiner Reliability Marking and Measuring NUCCA Radiographs
The NUCCA organization has a three-year three-part certification program designed to evaluate the competency and proficiency of doctors practicing the NUCCA procedure. Radiographs accepted and being considered for Part III certification are screened for quality and sent to study coordinator.
X-rays sets composed of lateral, nasium and vertex pre radiograph views and nasium and vertex post radiographs are assigned to a randomized rubric to determine which set is examined for inter-examiner and then intra-examiner reliability. Four examining doctors will each read twenty sets initially.
Each of the four examiners will read five previously read sets to determine intra examiner reliability. An additional ten sets that have been previously read by other examiners will be re-read by two additional examiners to determine inter examiner reliability. Once each examiner has checked the 45 sets, the study is completed.
The following data will be collected: atlas laterality, atlas rotation, atlas/ cervical spine angle, rotation of axis, achievement of proportional reduction, listing and subluxation type.
Data is analyzed using an ANOVA as described by Haas, outlining methods in determining reliability. A statistician consultation will substantiate the most useable method and to determine accurate sample sizes, randomization rubric and analysis of data collected for reliability measures. The coordinator prepares a manuscript for publication in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics (JMPT) or similar publication.

Cervicogenic Temporal Mandibular Disorder (CTMD)
Introduction and Perspective
Chiropractic and dental literature suggest an association between Temporal Mandibular Disorders, commonly called TMJ or TMD, and cervical chiropractic. One study in Cranio (April 2005, Vol 23, No. 2 pp119-129) showed the production of scoliosis in rats as a result of experimentally-induced malocclusion. All of the rats with scoliosis exhibited a tilt of the atlas or what the Upper Cervical Research Foundation would call Atlas Laterality.
Dr. Marshall Dickholtz Sr. has conducted preliminary studies with Chicago area neuro-muscular dentists who are members of the International College of Cranio-mandibular Orthopaedics (ICCMO) on approximately 8 patients with TMD/TMJ in preparation for designing the protocol used in this project. This protocol has been submitted for approval to an institutional review board. All of the preliminary subjects with TMJ have responded to upper cervical misalignment correction. Earlier data from the office of Dr. Dickholtz Sr. supports the effects of chiropractic on pain associated with TMJ. There are a number of NUCCA doctors and UCRF board members who have been working with dentists and dental researchers for more than fifteen years.
Research Goals
This project is designed to provide an understanding of the interconnections between TMD and malposition of the atlas. In addition to providing an understanding between TMD and atlas malposition, this project is expected to determine the optimal way in which dentists and upper cervical chiropractors can work together for the benefit of the patient. The question to be answered is, "Does a malposition of the upper cervical spine change the dental occlusion or bite? For example, if the atlas is corrected and not malpositioned, does that decrease the number of adjustments needed on dental occlusion and appliances? Clinical observations to date support the view that increased spinal stability and dental function are seen with patients using an integrated approach to dental care. The cervical spine-jaw-head modeling at the University of Toledo will be used to interpret what is seen dentally and chiropractically and will provide a biomechanical model relating TMD and misaligned cervical vertebrae.
Principal Investigators/ Credentials
Dr. Marshall Dickholtz Sr. will be the lead chiropractor and the other investigators will be announced once an Institutional Review Board has approved the project. The involved University faculty has yet to be finalized.
Estimated Expenses
Dental organizations are providing $200,000 for their share in this joint project. UCRF is responsible for $185,000 of the projected cost. This covers $100,000 for chiropractic services, and $85,000 for data management, writing of research results, writing/organization of IRB (Institutional Review Board) proposal and additional involvement with University.
Manuscript Preparation of Completed Research for Publication
Introduction & Perspective
The NUCCA approach to atlas correction presents many opportunities to collect data and conduct scientific study. As part of this process, compelling findings must be documented and published to ensure validation and further research. Publication of research findings allows for scientific discussion and exchange of ideas which assist in the reduction of errors, improved methods of investigation, and interpretation of results. The potential value of such academic publication assures NUCCA a position to attract other science and health care professionals to assist in these investigations and to ultimately improve the quality of life and optimal health and well-being for the public at large. The vision of investigating the NUCCA correction using a large sample of diverse populations provides evidence that will help establish the successful demonstration of the positive impact on health the NUCCA correction may offer. The Upper Cervical Research Foundation is currently committed to the academic publication of the three research projects described as follows:
Mechanisms in Cerebrovascular Blood Flow Following Atlas Realignment
As a result of the Hypertension study published in Journal of Human Hypertension, May 2007, the investigation for a mechanism explaining how the NUCCA atlas correction exerts the effect on the autonomic nervous system is in progress. This involves an examination of changes in cerebral blood flow pre and post correction, and describes a case reporting the results of an imaging study of the vasculature of the brain stem region using cutting edge imaging tools that allow for the most accurate study of this phenomena to date. Professionals involved in the research include: Terry Lichtor, PhD; MD, Noam Alperin, PhD; Bruce Bell, MD; Charles Woodfield, RPh, DC.
Estimated Timeline and Expense
Publication of the Blood Flow study requires $6,000.00 for literature review and manuscript preparation to be completed by June, 2008.
Hypertension Study Data Report
Unpublished data from the hypertension study showing the effect of the NUCCA correction on blood pressure levels which was published May, 2007 in the Journal of Human Hypertension is described in this update. Quality of life results from the SF-36 quality of life survey, Pain Scales from the VAS, and the end of study questionnaire and quality of life measures are presented and discussed. Authors from the hypertension study include G. Bakris, MD; M. Dickholtz, Sr. DC; P.M. Meyer; G. Kravitz; E. Avery; M. Miller; J. Brown, DC; C. Woodfield, RPh; B. Bell, MD.
Estimated Timeline and Expense
The Hypertension paper requires $8,000.00 total: literature review and manuscript preparation, $6,000.00; Data entry, $500.00; Biostatistician consultation, $1,500.00. Completion scheduled for July, 2008.
Atlas Misalignment and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
A case series of 19 subjects medically diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome according to the Center for Disease Control's differential diagnosis criteria, were studied pre and post NUCCA atlas adjustment. Multiple diagnostic tests and outcome measures were used including the SF-36 survey and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The study shows improvement in SF-36 quality of life descriptors indicating that the NUCCA correction may help ease the suffering of those diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The final manuscript reports on a case series of patients suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome and how the correction improved their quality of life and several immune markers over a 6 month study period. Participating professionals include: Charles Woodfield, RPh, DC; Leo Jacobs, MD; Bruce Bell, MD; Marshall Dickholtz, Sr.
Estimated Timeline and Expense
The Chronic Fatigue manuscript requires $6,000.00 for literature review and manuscript preparation to be completed by August, 2008
Dr. Charles Woodfield began his chiropractic research career at Palmer Center for Chiropractic Research and was the architect of the Chronic Fatigue Case Series using the SF-36 as the primary outcome to NUCCA care. The hypertension study was based on a protocol of his design with input from the other investigators.

President-elect Barack Obama's transition team is choosing its words carefully in dealing with Israel's assault on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
The deaths of hundreds of Palestinians in Israel's deadly air assault on the militant Islamic group will further complicate Obama's challenge to achieve a Middle East peace — something that eluded both the Bush and Clinton administrations.
David Axelrod, senior adviser to Obama, said the president-elect would honor the "important bond" between the United States and Israel.
"He wants to be a constructive force in helping to bring about the peace and security that both the Israelis and the Palestinians want and deserve," Axelrod said Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation." "Obviously, this situation has become even more complicated in the last couple of days and weeks. As Hamas began its shelling, Israel responded. But it's something that he's committed to."
Pressed about how much support Obama will offer Israel, Axelrod said: "He's going to work closely with the Israelis. They're a great ally of ours, the most important ally in the region. … But he will do so in a way that will promote the cause of peace, and work closely with the Israelis and the Palestinians on that — toward that objective."
The Bush administration has blamed the renewed violence on the militant Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, saying it broke a cease-fire by firing rockets and mortars deep into Israeli territory. The Arab world, however, has reacted with rage to the aggressive Israeli counterattacks.
It's unclear whether Obama will be as supportive of Israel as President George W. Bush has been.
Jon Alterman, head of the Middle East program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, speculated that Israeli leaders synchronized their retaliatory attacks to political calendars in both Israel and the U.S. More moderate politicians running in the Feb. 10 national election needed to appear strong against Hamas, and it was perhaps better to strike before Bush left office on Jan. 20 because they weren't as sure about what Obama's reaction would be.
"I think Obama will be supportive of Israel, but will bring a little more skepticism to it," Alterman said. "I think Obama will start from premise that Israel is an ally, but that we have to look at this fresh."
Bush, who is staying at his Texas ranch, spoke on the phone with national security adviser Stephen Hadley to receive an update on the situation and was being kept abreast of developments throughout the day, said Gordon Johndroe, a presidential spokesman. He said Bush would receive an intelligence briefing via a secured video hookup at the ranch early Monday morning and would be briefed then on any overnight developments.
According to an aide on Obama's transition team, the president-elect, who is in Hawaii, continues to closely monitor global events, including the situation in Gaza. He had an intelligence briefing Sunday and plans to talk with his incoming national security adviser, Gen. James Jones, and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, his nominee for secretary of state.
The aide said Obama appreciates the information the Bush administration is sharing with him. The aide requested anonymity because the Obama team is refraining from comment, saying the U.S. has only one president at a time.
Associated Press writers Ibrahim Barzak and Amy Teibel in Gaza City and Philip Elliott in Honolulu contributed to this report.
3 Responses to "Obama treads lightly on Gaza"
I believe we'll have a very short window of time, in which to change the perception of the US position in the world from arrogance to pragmatism, and so agree with this:
"I think Obama will be supportive of Israel, but will bring a little more skepticism to it," Alterman said. "I think Obama will start from premise that Israel is an ally, but that we have to look at this fresh."
The whole world will be watching, and looking for the direction that the president will be taking.
I hate the rabble rousing insistence that PE Obama take a position before becoming President, and that failure to do so shows indecision.
this too, shall pass
Assault? I laugh when I read the slanted yellow journalism that passes for professional reporting on the Web.
The land of Israel belonged to the Jews for thousands of years, now we hear that Palestinians lived there for a couple of hundred years?
Why do Arab lands forbid Jews from living in them without harassing the Jews?
How come in Iraq until recently Christians were murdered at will by violent Muslim gangs?
Religion is the root of all evil, do away with the entitlement that religion provides to kill the outside group others and get people to cooperate instead of blow themselves up.
Children are taught to kill and hate in Arab lands, how come these miscreants cannot concentrate on raising their middle ages mentality to get with the present?
Keep defending these creatures and one day you will be blown up while taking a bus or train to get to work or get back home. Then you might learn what this is all about…
Richard Ackermann
It is difficult to ignore, the Israelis have cut off water, power and supplies to the Palistinians. While I am no fan of Hamas, abuse is abuse. The old saying, it's not who's right, it's what's right seems to apply here.
Both sides have committed heinous acts against the other.
It would be so simple if one side is wholly right and the other wholly wrong.
That is not the case here.
My prayers are with Obama.

How to Cook Turnip Greens
Here's how to prepare and cook a bunch of fresh greens.
Video Transcript
To prepare and cook fresh turnip greens, remove and discard stems and discolored spots from the greens. Tear the greens into pieces, and set them aside.
2. Down-home Southern greens are typically seasoned with salt pork or smoked pork shoulder. Slice the salt pork at ¼-inch intervals, cutting to but not through the skin.
3. Combine the salt pork, 3 quarts of water, pepper, and a couple of teaspoons of sugar in a stainless steel Dutch oven. Aluminum pans are not recommended for cooking greens because they turn the greens a dark color and give them a metallic taste. The sugar is optional, but it helps reduce the bitterness in the greens. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for 1 hour.
4. Add greens to the pan. All of the green probably won't fit into the pan at once, so add them in batches. Once the first batch cooks down just a little, you can add the rest of the greens. Cook them, uncovered, 30 to 35 minutes or until they're tender.
5. Serve the greens with a slotted spoon, but don't discard the cooking liquid. It's called "pot likker" and is a delicacy enjoyed by most greens lovers. You can spoon it like soup, or dip cornbread into the liquid.
