What is "Tibia" ?
The tibia /ˈtɪbiə/, also known as the shinbone or shankbone, is the larger and stronger of the two bones in the leg below the knee in vertebrates (the other being the fibula), and it connects the knee with the ankle bones. The tibia is found next to the fibula on the medial side of the leg, closer to centre-line. The tibia is connected to the fibula by an interosseous membrane, forming a type of joint called a syndesmosis with very little movement. The tibia is named for the Greek aulos flute, also known as a tibia. It is commonly recognized as the strongest weightbearing bone of the body.
In human anatomy the tibia is the 2nd largest bone next to the femur. As in other vertebrates the tibia is one of two bones in the lower leg, the other being the fibula, and is a component of the knee and ankle joints. The tibia derives its arterial blood supply from two sources: A nutrient artery, as the main source, and periosteal vessels derived from the anterior tibial artery. The ossification or formation of the bone starts from three centers; one in the shaft and one in each extremity.
The tibia is categorized as a long bone and is as such composed of a diaphysis and two epiphyses. The diaphysis is the midsection of the tibia also known as shaft or body. While the epiphyses are the two rounded extremities of the bone; an upper closest to the thigh and a lower (also known as inferior or distal) closest to the foot. The tibia is most contracted in the lower 3rd and the distal extremity is smaller than the proximal.
The proximal or upper extremity of the tibia is expanded in the transverse plane with a medial and lateral condyle, which are both flattened in the horizontal plane. The medial condyle is the largest of the two and is better supported over the shaft. The upper surfaces of the condyles articulates with the femur to form the tibiofemoral joint, the weightbearing part of the kneejoint. The medial and lateral condyle are separated by the intercondylar area, where the cruciate ligaments and the menisci attaches. Here the medial and lateral intercondylar tubercle forms the intercondylar eminence. Together with the medial and lateral condyle the intercondylar region forms the tibial plateau, which both articulates with and is anchored to the lower extremity of the femur. The intercondylar eminence divides the intercondylar area into an anterior and posterior part. The anterolateral region of the anterior intercondylar area are perforated by numerous small openings for nutrient arteries. The articular surfaces of both condyles are concave, particularly centrally. The flatter outer margins are in contact with the menisci. The medial condyles superior surface is oval in form and extends laterally onto the side of medial intercondylar tubercle. The lateral condyles superior surface is more circular in form and its medial edge extends onto the side of the lateral intercondylar tubercle. The posterior surface of the medial condyle bears a horizontal groove for part of the attachment of the semimembranosus muscle, whereas the lateral condyle has a circular facet for articulation with the head of fibula. Beneath the condyles is the tibial tuberosity which serves for attachment of the patellar ligament, a continuation of the quadriceps femoris muscle.
The shaft or body of the tibia is triangulate in cross-section and forms three borders: An anterior, medial and lateral or interosseous border. These three borders form three surfaces; the medial, lateral and posterior. The forward flat part of the tibia is called the fibia, often confused with the fibula.
The lower extremity of the tibia is much smaller than the upper extremity and presents five surfaces; it is prolonged downward on its medial side as a strong process, the medial malleolus. The lower extremity of the tibia together with the fibula and talus forms the ankle joint.
The tibia has been modeled as taking an axial force during walking that is up to 4.7 bodyweight. Its bending moment in the sagittal plane in the late stance phase is up to 71.6 bodyweight times millimetre.
In the male, its direction is vertical, and parallel with the bone of the opposite side. In the female, it has a slightly oblique direction downward and laterally, to compensate for the greater obliqueness of the femur. Studies are inconclusive, however.
The tibia is a part of four joints; the knee, ankle, superior and inferior tibiofibular joint.
In the knee the tibia forms one of the two articulations with the femur, often referred to as the tibiofemoral components of the knee joint. This is the weightbearing part of the knee joint. The tibiofibular joints are the articulations between the tibia and fibula which allows very little movement. The proximal tibiofibular joint is a small plane joint. The joint is formed between the undersurface of the lateral tibial condyle and the head of fibula. The joint capsule is reinforced by anterior and posterior ligament of the head of the fibula. The distal tibiofibular joint is formed by the rough, convex surface of the medial side of the distal end of the fibula, and a rough concave surface on the lateral side of the tibia. The part of the ankle joint known as the talocrural joint, is a synovial hinge joint that connects the distal ends of the tibia and fibula in the lower limb with the proximal end of the talus. The articulation between the tibia and the talus bears more weight than between the smaller fibula and the talus.
The structure of the tibia in most other tetrapods is essentially similar to that in humans. The tuberosity of the tibia, a crest to which the patellar ligament attaches in mammals, is instead the point for the tendon of the quadriceps muscle in reptiles, birds, and amphibians, which have no patella.
In Judaism, the tibia, or shankbone, of a goat is used in the Seder Plate.

3 of 5 (60%) reviewers would recommend this product to a friend
Pros: Quiet, looks good, safety device
Cons: poor quality, wok burner is useless, base is easily scratched and difficult to clean, hard to adjust flames
"Pros - stylish looks.
Efficient ignition system.
Safety device cuts off gas supply to a burner if the flame goes out.
Cons - very soft stainless base scratches really easily even when just wiping down; course finish makes it difficult to clean
Whoever designed the wok burner has probably never tested it with a real wok.
A wok has a fairly small base, so requires a small-diameter burner with the flames pointing upwards; whereas this burner is huge, with the flames pointing outwards.
As a result, most of the heat misses the wok altogether.
The gas control valves go from high to low with almost no adjustment in between.
It is very difficult to get anything in between."

This AEG model proves that beauty, brawn and brains can all work together in harmony. From its ultra flat design, to its steel-capped control knobs and LED lights, this is truly one beautiful looking designer hob.
In terms of power, it certainly has the guns to compete with the best of them. Fitted with a triple ring wok burner, it can easily handle the most intense fast-frying, which is ideal for those who love a little sweet and sour from time to time. It's ideal for woks and skillets too, so if you're a fan of a seared steak, you'll love it.
Now, this is where the brains come in. Not only is it intelligently designed to offer you more than enough room for all your cooking needs, it features automatic ignition for speedier start-up times, as well as LED lights that allow you to monitor the heat and flame levels. Neat, eh?
And to top it all off, it's also a breeze to clean. The flat, silky smooth stainless steel finish can be easily and quickly wiped down after use, ensuring this hob looks as beautiful as it did on day one.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- The Minnesota Timberwolves have agreed to terms on a one-year deal with free agent Josh Howard, pending a physical.
The Wolves announced the agreement Thursday, one day after they lost at home to Charlotte with six of their top seven players out. Minnesota is missing Kevin Love, Ricky Rubio, Chase Budinger, JJ Barea, Nikola Pekovic and Brandon Roy because of injuries.
The 32-year-old Howard worked out for the Wolves on Monday in Dallas. Howard averaged 8.7 points and 3.7 rebounds in 43 games with Utah last season. He has also played for Washington and Dallas.
Coach Rick Adelman says Howard's experience should help him to fit in quickly. Howard will be in uniform on Friday night against Golden State.
Minnesota waived Will Conroy to make room for Howard.

Managers + programming = FAILURE
Is it just me, or did Friday's FoxPro WTF vanish from the front page?
I'm pretty sure that this could beat all the other entries to date. Hacks, cracks, and sloppy patch-up jobs I've seen; I've heard many a tale of sales staff that never say no, and sell stuff that doesn't exist yet, but... this simply boggles the mind.
Wow. I bet The Boss cries himself to sleep at night.
ya i noticed that too.. I was in the middle of reading it (didnt have a chance on friday) when i accidently hit refresh button and then it was gone....
ner I bet he laughs himself to sleep every night:
HA Ha HA ha! Wait till they see what I invented tonight....
You can find the foxpro article on Google cache. For now anyway.
This is actually several steps up from normal management ...
Normally they just promise stuff, this one actually prototypes and checks it in under version control ...
Clearly not a position that fit the NON-WTF Jobs :)
This shows that the saying 'If it sounds to good to be true, it probably isn't' has some merits.
It was eaten by a Diebold Voting Machine. Now there's a WTF!
A WTF on the WTF?
On topic: Once learned about a new application I was supposed to develop from scratch after the company owner started promoting it on the company web site.
This guy really should be beaten to death with a programming manual... or maybe a managing manual...
Should be beaten up with the "easiest to get" manual...
This is like what happens to some programmers I know. Picture this:
- Boss that only think about money, doesn't know much about programming and wants everything done "for yesterday".
- Programmers that have to follow the instructions of the boss, or they are fired! Since they can't do a good job so quick, they have to "throw the bomb" (the badly-done program) into the client's hands.
Result? Bad software (large bugs, no QA, ugly hacks, etc...).
Result: my job!

This reminds me of this Hackles comic strip:
This one remind me of an interview I had gone on once. It was in this guys house - which was also the "corporate headquarters". There were two other people there, a secratery and the tech support I suppose ( now that I think about it, they did have that help me break from here kind of look). My interview was on me sitting on his couch. As well, while I was waiting for him, I was looking around on his bookshelf, and found about 6 different boxes of business cards for this, ranging from (as I recall) CEO to phsycologist.
Ahh, memories - at least they are behind me :o)
Perhaps the company saw it and threatened legal action because they didn't want to look too [Captcha]enterprisey[/Captcha].
as sad as this is, its actually quite common. (well, maybe not the shower part, but then again...)
Bet Alex lost his code snippets, and now wants to pretend that the new syndication announcement never happened :P
Oh say it isn't so!!
Not quite as many merits as the saying "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."
I've been at a loss for words for the last couple of weeks' worth of WTFs... I dunno why though... I mean, this is some pretty messed up stuff going on. I guess after frequenting the site for so long you get accustomed to some of the horror stories. This is a huge WTF and the only thing I can think of is eh, yeah, not surprised... It shouldn't be like that. I should be on my toes screaming at the monitor in horror. Oh well...
I wanna see the quality of the modules that the Boss coded in his hotel room. I bet that code is littered with WTFs.

You would do that to a book?
This is precisely what lead pipes were invented for.
And elbow length rubber gloves. And vinyl aprons.
Goggles or a face shield are probably a good ideal too. Wouldn't want to get any on you.
I'm with you, I've become desensitized to WTFs. This is actually the first time I've read this site in about two or three weeks. Funny site, but nothing entertaining me anymore.
Please please please tell me what city this was in!
JF should be glad it was only the boss. I once worked at a place that had a whole sales staff that would routinely sell program modules we didnt have in that manner. They'd go out to the customer, write up the contract complete with 'cost estimate', and then come back and act like heroes. Of course, they'd flip out in disbelief when we'd tell them the new functionality would take 6 months, not 3-4 days, and that development cost would be far larger than what they were charging the customer, meaning we'd lose money on the deal.
Though, to be fair, at least the sales people werent coding! We were lucky they could manage to remember where the on switch was on their laptop.
Same thing happened to me at "Gold". I took over developing a new pet project of the boss before I knew the program well enough to really do something like that, and one day I was sitting there listening to him talk about it to an existing customer he started telling this customer about a bazillion things that this new project could do, none of which he'd told me about before.
Pardon me while I head back to the drawing board.
<run fast> J.F. had the right idea, albeit 2 years and 11.75 mos. after his initial employment.
<the idiots are everywhere....and they keep following me around..../>
As the submitter of this I won't say what city but it was in New Zealand if that Helps.
This is just the extreme version of something that's pretty common in my experience. The Manager who would much rather be a Developer. Development is, after all, much more fun.
At my previous job the VP of Engineering made no secret of the fact that he hated to manage and would much rather be developing, so instead of managing he generally led development projects, and he had a couple major components he was responsible for... the trouble was that besides a big lack of management in the company (some is good!) he wasn't all that great at programming, so I had to code my stuff to work around him doing things like:
f = open( "filename", "rb" );
After all, what could possibly go wrong? Then when his code exploded he'd always blame my stuff (since my stuff did the real work on the back end) and I'd have to trace it down. By the end my code was ridiculously defensive.
On the positive side, this was a real learning experience in defensive coding!
No, wait, hold on here a second. Who was actually running the company? Was there any sort of management setup? Was The Boss actually the Owner? Because if I was this guy, and there was a level above The Boss, I'd be screaming and flapping red flags like crazy.
This seems to have been a "lead developer" where "lead" rhymes with dead. As in, "that code went over like a lead balloon; it must have been written by the lead developer."

Well, let it be known that these kinds of bosses (with the bathroom, shower, etc, in the corner office of a corporate building) also exist in the USA. And they also do those crazy things at client sites, and have many roles and titles depending on their mood and/or whim.
I used to think people like The Boss were fairy tales. Then when I met someone like The Boss, I thought he had to be one-of-a-kind. After reading today's WTF, I think people like The Boss are an epidemic.
> I'm with you, I've become desensitized to WTFs. This is actually the
I rarely visit anymore. Not enough actual code WTFs. Too many long stories...
Boss, Owner, salesman, ect ect ect. There was no where to go, but home to stress over what new mess you would find the next day when you started the cycle all over again!!!
When I find myself in messes like this one, I come to this site in hopes of seeing people in worse messes than I (somehow hoping that the world is worse off, in general, than my little corner of the wordl). I keep hoping to see something actually "worse" than I've already been part of, but no. At least I'm not alone :)
More WTF's from the same company, The interview was on a Sunday, and I was asked to start on the Monday, when I arrived the next morning and announced that I was the new programmer, no one there had any clue that I was comming. The boss was on a plane to Australia so couldn't be contacted. There was no room for an extra person in the programming room so I was set up (eventually after a couple of hours) in the support room away from all other developers, and given some coding to do, no training on the system, and only what help the other VERY busy devs could give me. All on foxpro a language that I had never even heard of before the previous day at the interview! Boy was that a stressfull few weeks till I found my feet and managed to get into the dev room where I could at least ask questions and start to learn my way round.
I think it's pretty common to have sales not necessarily prototype or even promise functionality, but to simply say, "we can do that" thinking they can get it in the next release w/o adding any time.
The CEO at a place I worked once said, "layman says it's just a matter of adding a button." The code monkeys wondered at length how he envisioned software development. Did he think that adding the appropriate text to the button would make it do the appropriate task? Did he think there is an infinite number of "buttons" available on the 3rd party market for any imaginable task? We never found out, but it's fun to imagine...
I know, it's awful! It's like there's all these words, and somehow they come together in big long lines like sentences and they tell stories... It's like still being in school! Ew!
Do you honestly think that a couple lines of shitty FoxPro coding would really get the point across like this story? The thought of having to work for this loser schmuck for years+ should damn near make you brick in your pants. Is "lblwhatever.text = strAlreadyAString.toString().toString()" really that much better?
That said, a hybrid style would be fine. A little code may (may, mind you) add to the story, and if nothing else, remind some of us what FoxPro looks like. More likely though, we'll just see some more anon'd VB.Net or C#, and there's really only so much WTFery to mine there.
I suppose the sales-person still got his commission for the deal.
I've had salespeople promise things to clients that, if implemented, would have completely broken the whole system for every other client we have. I've also had to deal with salespeople promising something to the client that, if implemented, would be illegal. It's all part of my job as DBA, I guess, to tell them "no".
On the point of "there should be more code WTFs", I guess it depends on the purpose of the site. If it's meant to be a reverse training environment, i.e., "here's what NOT to do", then, yeah, code WTFs would be more valuable. If it's meant to be a source of entertainment and a place to vent about bad IT jobs, bosses, code, customers, etc., then stories are a valid part of it.
I see the site as a mix. Some entertainment (how could anyone possible be that stupid, ROFLMAO!!11one!!). Some venting (my stupid boss can beat up your stupid boss, or my bad customer isn't as bad as your bad customer but he sure was bad). Some reverse education (wow! that looks like something I might have come up with since I'm not that familiar with OOP, good thing these guys pointed out not only how it breaks things, but some alternate solutions that would work much better).
If anyone wants a more "pure" site, just with bad code and counter-samples of good code that would accomplish the job better, there's really nothing stopping anyone from setting up such a site. Since it's pretty much just a blog and discussion forum, it wouldn't even be hard to set up. For that matter, Alex would probably link to it if it's set up well. (Return the favor and give both a better Google rating.) Would take some work to moderate, pick submissions, etc., but if you want it, I'm sure you can produce it. (Heck, let me know and I'll send some of my own early code - chock full of 1000% of the USRDA of WTFery in every module.)

I worked for one...God, nightmare. I applied for the job, sent in my resume, and got an interview. The guy looks at my resume, and then at me, and says, "So, you know HTML?"
This is what the programming languages section on my resume looked like:
Java, C/C++, Perl, Cobol, VB5-VB6, Php, Lisp, Prolog, Basic, Turbo Pascal, XML, SQL, HTML.
I had years of experience out next to each language, with examples of the work I did in 'em, and I threw XML/SQL/HTML on the end because, what the hell, why not? Pad it up a little bit. Who doesn't know HTML, for example?
I needed the work, at the time, and I got seduced by the fact that the tech guy who interviewed me later knew his stuff. Less than a week after I started working there, I was doing .Net/SQL web apps, and two months after that, when the guy who'd actually hired me tried to get me to do whatever batshiat crazy HTML thing he'd had in mind when he hired me (which was SCOBiz as it happened, just to add icing to the cake of shame), I had so much other stuff to do I could tell him to stuff it.
Company failed pretty spectacularly a few months after I was "let go" for telling the bosses son he was a screw up. The day I left I was supposed to install an inventory control system I'd built from scratch...Even programmed the bar code readers. Got a call about a week later asking me where the software was, and I told 'em, and they were quiet for a second, then said thanks and hung up. Turns out they were so paranoid about me "sabotaging" their systems that they'd formatted my development server, which pretty much left them completely screwed. Good times. They hit bottom so hard it left a crater, and it took me 18 months after I got fired to get the grin off my face. I couldn't have wished anything worse on them than what they did to themselves.

That's the second reference to a Florida Co. I'll bet I know who it is...
About 10 years ago I worked with a guy that wrote the nastiest code. Functions that went on for 10-20 pages with every-other line a "Break" or "Exit". Made debugging a PITA. Anyway, he would work all week and never really accomplish anything. Then he'd "take it home to work on it over the weekend" and, come Monday, it would work. We all suspected he was having his wife do the actual work on the weekends.
He eventually left to start his own company in the S. Fla area.
I declined his offer to go with him.

The ride of fate and fortune of the legendary marque has been a roller-coaster of daring visions, extraordinary characters, narrow escapes, near peril, breathtaking comebacks and glittering achievements.
It's a story as passionate as the dedication that's required to build a car as elegant as the Arnage or a coupe as stunning at the Continental GT. It's a story as exhilarating as the performance of every vehicle graced with the winged B.

ATLANTA (AP) - Atlanta Falcons defensive end John Abraham is free on bond after being arrested on misdemeanor charges when authorities say he refused to leave an area taped off by police. Fulton County jail records showed Abraham was released from custody early Tuesday morning on a $7,000 total bond, or $3,500 for each of two charges of obstruction from Monday night. WAGA-TV reported Abraham allegedly entered a taped-off area where a woman was threatening to jump off a building. Abraham was arrested after refusing requests from firefighters and police to leave the area. The Falcons said late Monday the team was "aware of the news regarding John Abraham." The team said it was gathering more information and would have no further comment at the moment.Copyright 2012 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Easy Thanksgiving Dessert: Sweet Potato Tart Tatin
Dam Good Sweet by David Guas & Raquel Pelzel
We were flipping through Dam Good Sweet, a new cookbook about New Orleans-style desserts, and stopped dead in our tracks when we saw this. So gorgeous! And a perfect alternative to pie for Thanksgiving. Get the recipe and read more about the cookbook (including some delicious peanut butter brownies we made last night) below.
Title & Publisher: Dam Good Sweet by David Guas and Raquel Pelzel, published by Taunton Press.
• Buy the book, $16.50 at Amazon.
How it's organized: The book starts out with traditional New Orleans sweets like beignets, bananas foster, and king cake. Then it moves on to other southern favorites, grouped by pies/breads, cakes, custards/puddings, ice creams/sorbets, jams/jellies, and lagniappes, which are the little "extras" (candy, etc.) that are a Louisiana tradition.
What we've tried: Last night we made TAG's PB Brownies, really dense brownies with a peanut butter swirl. The recipe was incredibly simple, which worked well on a busy weeknight.
What we've bookmarked: Many of the other recipes are a bit more complicated, but we're dying to make the Gâteau de Sirop, a gingerbread cake soaked with cane syrup. We just need to find authentic cane syrup and we're all set... The old-fashioned Banana Pudding looks amazing. And the Sweet Potato Tart Tatin, above, sounds easy and interesting. Speaking of, here's the recipe:
Sweet Potato Tart Tatin
1 sheet all-butter store-bought puff pastry, thawed
3/4 cup sugar plus 1 tablespoon for pastry
1 stick unsalted butter, cut into 16 pieces
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (try to buy potatoes of relatively even width and few bulges), peeled, ends removed, and sliced into 1/8-inch-thick rounds
1 large egg
1 tablespoon milk
Ice cream for serving (optional)
Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the puff pastry sheet on your work surface and cut out a 10-inch circle. Set the circle onto the prepared baking sheet. Prick the pastry all over with a fork and refrigerate.
Place 3/4 cup of sugar in a small saucepan and cover with 1/4 cup of water. Gently stir with a spoon to make sure all of the sugar is wet (it should have the consistency of wet sand), place a cover on slightly askew, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Keep the mixture covered until the syrup is clear and producing syrupy-looking medium-size bubbles, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the cover and continue to cook until the sugar is a light butterscotch color and its temperature reaches 320 degrees. Turn off the heat (the sugar will continue to cook in the pan even though the heat is off). Once the temperature reaches 350 degrees (this will take only a few minutes), whisk in the butter, 1/2 tablespoon (1 piece) at a time, waiting until each addition is completely incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla and the salt, and pour the caramel into a 10-inch cast iron skillet.
Cover the caramel with the sliced potatoes, starting in the center and overlapping in a spiraling outward circle as you go. Top with the puff pastry circle. Beat the egg and the milk together and brush over the pastry, and then sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar. Bake until the edges are deep amber and the pastry is puffed and golden, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a large plate (make sure the diameter of the plate is larger than 10 inches!). Slice into wedges and serve with or without ice cream.

Amazing!! I love this recipe and made it for friends this weekend. I was running out of time, so just pulled my cast iron pan out of the iron and put it in my car. It had cooled down by the time I got to the dinner party and was able to just flip it onto a plate once I got there. By far my favorite dessert and I plan on baking it at least a couple times for Thanksgiving (gifts and the big meal).
HA! I wish you could bake desserts in an "iron"! Sorry about that! I mean oven.
Steen's, a Louisiana product. Check out their website.
at first glance, i thought that was a pepperoni pizza. heh.
but now that i know it's a sweet treat that looks incredible... i'm gonna have to try it. :)
any suggestions if you don't own a cast iron skillet (besides purchasing one)? would a medium weight nonstick skillet suffice?

This Is All Kinds of Wrong of the Day: A horrifying video of a student being restrained and shocked for hours at the Judge Rotenberg Center was shown in court Tuesday at the start of Andre McCollins' trial against the center, and it may be enough to get the facility shut down once and for all.
The video shows a 2002 incident in which 18-year-old McCollins was restrained, face-down, on the floor, and then given 31 shocks as he screamed and fought, all because he had refused to take off his coat. While the center had fought for years to keep the video sealed, it was used not only in court, but by a Boston Fox affiliate that got permission to air it over objections from Rotenberg's lawyers.
Despite a revealing 2007 exposé (McCollins wasn't the only student subjected to the inhumane treatment) that led to local and state investigations and ongoing lawsuits, the school, in Canton, MA, has managed to stay open. It bills itself as a special needs school, and "is the only facility in the country that disciplines students by shocking them, a form of punishment not inflicted on serial killers or child molesters or any of the 2.2 million inmates now incarcerated in U.S. jails and prisons."
"I never signed up for him to be tortured, terrorized, and abused," McCollins' mother Cheryl testified in court Tuesday. "I had no idea — no idea — that they tortured the children in the school."
31 shocks are "treatment"? restraining someone like that and shocking them that many times sounds more like torture to me. shut that place down for malpractice.

THURSDAY, June 19, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- U.S. veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars who suffered brain injuries are at a much higher risk for headaches, especially migraines, a new study finds.
Deployment-linked traumatic brain injury "is associated with a strong and highly significant increase in frequency and intensity of headache, the majority of which are migraine," concludes a team led by Dr. James Couch, of the University of Oklahoma Medical School in Oklahoma City.
Couch's team noted that traumatic brain injury is the "signature injury" for U.S. troops deployed in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, "occurring in 15 percent to 20 percent of deployed soldiers." They added that "combat zone deployment, by itself, is stressful. Both traumatic brain injury and stress are known to be associated with headache."
The new study included 53 veterans who had suffered a traumatic brain injury during deployment and a "control" group of 53 veterans without brain injuries. Couch's group reported that all of the veterans in the brain injury group said they experienced headaches, compared with about 76 percent of those in the control group.
The frequency and intensity of headaches were much higher in the brain injury group, the investigators found. Compared to the control group, the incidence of frequent headache (10 to 14 days a month) was 4.5 times higher and incidence of chronic headache (15 or more days a month) was three times higher in the brain injury group.
Migraines accounted for 89 percent of headaches among veterans in the brain injury group, compared with 40 percent of those in the control group.
The findings will be reported later this month at the annual meeting of the American Headache Society in Los Angeles. Findings presented at medical meetings are typically considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

See all bike reviews.
Rides to go fast while insulating you from the worst pavement.
The plush category has evolved. Though these bikes still make more concessions to comfort and stability than race-influenced enthusiast bikes, the Lincoln Town Car suspension is gone as engineers build in speed while still insulating the rider from road vibrations. The Giant Defy Advanced 1 does all of this without breaking a sweat.
Bad pavement is a fact of life, and the Defy's logbook filled with comments like "good buzz absorption," and "particularly smooth." The bikes also had to climb. Just like on many group rides, this occasionally meant asking our plush bikes to keep up with the boys on race bikes. The Defy excelled here, allowing riders to respond to others' pace-making or surges. "It was the most spirited in ride quality of the bunch," said one tester. After pushing the bike to higher speeds on descents, our staff found great handling without any twitchiness.
Testers were also pleased with the complete Shimano Ultegra group, and the lightest-in-class weight and price.

"I don't want to start thinking again. Not like I have this last week. I can't think again. Not ever again. I don't know if you've ever felt like that. That you wanted to sleep for a thousand years. Or just not exist. Or just not be aware that you do exist. Or something like that. I think wanting that is very morbid, but I want it when I get like this. That's why I'm trying not to think. I just want it all to stop spinning."

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 6 large egg yolks
- 1. Preheat oven to 300ºF. Put 8 6-oz. ramekins into a large roasting pan (they should fit without touching).
- 2. Put chocolate in a heatproof bowl. In a pan over medium heat, warm cream, milk and 1/4 cup sugar, whisking often, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is just simmering. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and pour over chocolate. Let stand 3 minutes to melt chocolate; whisk until smooth.
- 3. In a second bowl, whisk remaining sugar and egg yolks until well combined and pale yellow. Whisking yolk mixture vigorously, slowly pour in about 1 cup chocolate mixture. Pour in remaining chocolate mixture, whisking well. Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup.
- 4. Pour mixture from measuring cup evenly into ramekins. Pour enough hot water into roasting pan to come halfway up sides of ramekins. Carefully transfer pan to oven and bake until custards are just set (they will jiggle slightly in center), 25 to 35 minutes. Remove ramekins from water bath and let cool to room temperature on a wire rack. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and chill until cold, at least 1 hour. Serve topped with dollops of whipped cream, if desired.

In 1986 during the cold war, Jane Parker-Ambrose traveled to Russia in hopes of presenting a three-foot diamond kite featuring the American and Soviet flags on each side of the globe. In Moscow Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space and the president of the Soviet Women's Peace Committee received this kite as a symbol of efforts worldwide for peace and understanding.
This was the beginning of this annual kite-flying event celebrated not only in Long Beach but all over the globe.
This is the 27th year of One Sky, One World, this year because the AKA Convention in Seaside, OR is at the same time. You can fly your kite anywhere and can post your image on our Facebook page with a comment.
Here is an interview with Jane Parker-Ambrose, discussing the origins of the annual One Sky One World Kite Fly for Peace

January February: Asian New Year
Asian New Year Celebration
January 31– February 12
This Saturday and Sunday, February 1st and 2nd, is the opening celebration for the 2014 Year of the Horse. Special events during these days include block printing, Japanese Koto music plus antique women's kimonos, making a traditional kite and children's stories.
The exhibit enhancement will continue through the month of February. Part of it will show the giant kite culture of approximately nine different communities. To give you a sense of the size of these kites, some need over 100 men to launch them and often 2 ½ gallons of glue are used to hold them together.
Folding origami cranes for good luck, making kites, symbols of kite decoration and a special section on the last Edo kite maker in Tokyo will continue after the opening weekend.

Brunch at The Alice House Queens Park
Guest Blogger Natalie from My Rustic Pantry tried out the new Brunch Menu at The Alice House.
I have been to The Alice House Queens Park a couple of times to catch up with friends over a morning cup of coffee but never had the delight of sampling their food menu. So off we went to give their brunch a go.
After walking through the gorgeous Queens Park we arrived for our morning meal and were immediately greeted with friendly smiles. The restaurant has a warm, modern farm house type feel to it, with herb pots dotted around on large earthy, wooden tables.
We chose to sit by their large windows overlooking the busy Salisbury high street, mainly on the basis that the leather chairs looked, and indeed were, incredibly comfortable and because it was a lovely day outside. Straight away we were greeted by our waitress, handing us a menu and asking if we would like something to drink.
On arrival of our morning javas, it was clear that our cappuccinos weren't made by a proper barista. However, don't let this put you off at all, as the actual flavour of the coffee they make is amazing. Caramelly, rich and no essence of that bitter aftertaste you sometimes get in some London coffee shops, I won't mention any names!
Looking round the shop we noticed a large chalkboard, listing Volcano as their bean supplier. The fact that they haven't simply selected the big coffee brands you see everywhere else in London makes Alice House a little more interesting and gives it a bit more personality than other places in the area.
We both opted for egg dishes in the end, and a little extra dish of granola to share. I like using my reviewing job as an excuse to try everything, "so I can get an overall feeling of what all the foods like", but I'm really just being greedy. Whilst devouring our breakfasts neither of us could think of anything to fault the food with.
My Maldon smoked salmon and poached eggs on granary bread were divine. Although I skipped the bread to save room for the granola, I devoured every last morsel of my dish. The salmon was just pure heaven, not too greasy or over poweringly fishy. The eggs were cooked to perfection, with the yolk slightly still runny in the middle. I was in heaven.
Once the eggs were gone I swiftly turned to the granola sitting beautifully in a tall glass layered between thick yoghurt and a dark crimson compote. I picked off a little of the granola from the top of the glass and wasn't too thrilled to begin with.
You see, I have a big hate for soft granola, I just feel that I'm being served stale oats. However, on digging my spoon deep into the rich mixture…I was in heaven. Everything just seemed to compliment each other amazingly, my opinion of soft granola quickly changed.
The compote was so delicious that the fact that I couldn't quite pinpoint what it's ingredients were was making me angry. I concluded it was a mix of some sort of berry, cherry and passion fruit. But whatever it was, was amazing. Needless to say my boyfriend and I finished off the whole lot.
The prices are pretty reasonable as well. With an eggs Benedict at £7.50, granola coming in at £4.50 and a cappuccino £2.80, it definitely won't break the bank! Alice House is a great place. It never seems to be very busy but that definitely needs to change!
See the Alice House Brunch Menu here.
We enjoyed every single thing about our visit there that morning and will most definitely be visiting again, along with as many people we can spread the word to.

Teaching without digital technology is irresponsible pedagogy. Why? The future is digital, love it or hate it. We can talk about whether or not this is a good or a bad thing. (Hint: the answer is both.) But to educate students, or to attempt to educate students without developing their digital literacy is to leave them ill prepared for their futures. You wouldn't think of educating a student and not teaching them how to read, digital literacy is this crucial. In the future if you don't know how to use this technology, you will be 'illiterate'. . . Eliminating technology produces not the affect of a more engaged literate student populous, rather it produces the reverse, an ill informed, uncritical, unengaged student populous who will become at the very best passive consumers of the technology being resisted, and at the worst its willing victims."

who are you and when did i get this \? XD
mi negrooooo
It'd be cool if you spoke to her because i know she does, and the way she's going about things is hurting her. It'd be really cool if you spoke to me off anon about it because that girl is confused and even though she loves me, and her issues' solutions are simple, she still calls me tell me she loves/misses me and wants to re-kindle the fire. There's nothing worse than being forced to stop loving the person you've loved more than anything else simply because they always leave you for second pick, leave you for someone else, and come back to you only to tell you they see what you see and are capable of having what they want, but wont get it because they've dug a hole so deep they think they can't get out.
So unfortunately, no. I don't love her. And i never will again because of her actions. This better not be an automated message.
ps: it really would be cool if you came off anon :/
I'll tweet you ;]

Garry Chalk is an established voice and screen actor. Fans will remember him as Optimus Prime in Beast Wars: Transformers and Transformers: Armada. Chalk has also been featured on notable shows like The Dead Zone, Stargate: SG-1 and AMC's The Killing.
Chalk, who will be at the Florida Supercon on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, spoke to Teenlink last week about the event.
TEENLINK: How do you feel about big name celebrities doing voice acting work in huge animated films rather than the trained actors who do it for a living?
CHALK: I think that whatever you have to do, stunt casting, then by all means do it. I don't know why they do it. I think the key thing is characters. From a business point-of-view, it's good business. From a voice acting point-of-view, it's a bit of a slap to the face. Come on guys, this is what we do! To my mind, I think it's a little unfair.
TEENLINK: What is more daunting? Voice acting or screen acting?
CHALK: Each has its own challenges. The easiest is screen because I've done it so long and everything is there but it's a bit of a challenge.
In voice acting, the main challenge is creating that character and making it something people care about. To me, it's the purest form of acting. Everything has to be clear. It's an acquired skill.
TEENLINK: If you just woke up one day and had to have someone else's voice, whose voice would it be and why?
CHALK: I would have Daws Butler's because I love Fred Flinstone and Quick Draw McGraw. I loved his voice.
TEENLINK: What do you think of Peter Cullen's Optimus Prime in the Transformers live-action movies?
CHALK: That's a tough one. I have a great deal of respect. It seems to be a different character. My Optimus Primal is more of a human. I'm not a fan of the last few films but that's Michael Bay. I brought humanity to mine. His Optimus is great for that character.
TEENLINK: Are you a fan of Degrassi? If so, who is your favorite character? Why do you think the series has lasted so long?
CHALK: I think for young people, it's a wonderful show. A little past my time.
TEENLINK: What was it like working on "the Killing?"
CHALK: What a treat! I got to work with some brilliant directors and a brilliant cast. You couldn't find a better performance.

Several years ago when I started working in videochat, no thought how the system works page layout of sites or that would be the steps to bigger exposure on site.Ma thinking that way Normally, members enter the site, see pictures models and possibly read a profile and that's if profile picture is ok, get in free member chat or even directly in private chat.But over the years I have come to understand how these sites, and although I will refer mainly to myfrecams, these principles apply to all cam videochat sites.Are you a model that is the beginning, and you want to start making money and websites, to get as many tips from thousands of members, as well as top models on my fre cams but you noticed you have a low camscore, and not many premium members join your site, or get some there but gets nothing and you start wondering, "What I do wrong to make money?"Most models begin to work on myfrecams fail to exceed some average revenue they make these 3 mistakes: nudity, research, communication.before you start (understanding the types of members)Perhaps at this point you're thinking, but I did some research already, you would be to learn? Although you may have already looked at the models on the site before you get to work, but maybe you did not understand some thing. First so would be to understand how the types of members are site.On my fre cams 3 types of members: guest, basic and premium.Guest tend to be anonymous, people skim sites, without being willing to create a cont.In normally they come, looks free, and go without an interest too much.More importantly, guests do not give tips, not money.Secondly, as basic members, members who have created an account, coming in regularly on the site, interacting with models, but did not give members tips sites.So are our premium members site.If you money on new model premium members should be your priority on site.Nu really need to move Guest chicken or basic members, but should fully pay attention to premium members because they are the ones who will give you tips to show your sites.As revenues improve your sites, you will learn later that this premium members are divided into 3 categories, but we'll talk about it in articles to come. For now, your main target tokens are premium members who they have.

My Love for Mercedes and Porche by Sister Reginia Howard Outreach on 11/10/2012. Trim: 2011 Porsche Cayenne Hybrid.
Pros: The color is like a Siver Shadow. It's up, up and away. It's incomparative to the Pony Express. I love it because it can be shipped overnight. And, most of all, Scottie can beam me up IN it anytime.
Cons: It almost resembles a RAV-4.
Overall review: I can submit a tally and rally it down to my Price, then to my space of living.
Review ID: #566506 Is this review offensive?
A sensible choice by James on 12/31/2012. Trim: 2011 Porsche Cayenne Hybrid S Hybrid, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: While driving a stylish Porsche you get tremendous fuel economy, 550plus miles on tank full. My turbo would get on average 400 miles per tank. The electronics are unmatched, handling superior to all other SUV's I've driven.
Cons: While fuel economy is superior it does give up horsepower only negative. But how fast do you really need to go is the question you have to ask yourself.
Overall review: Excellent choice for a Porsche enthusiast looking for less visits to the pump.
