Gorgeous AND On Sale?! Grab Elf Defense Now and Spend Less Defending Your Tower
Elf Defense, the new tower defense game for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad from Jelly Oasis, has been deeply discounted as a way to introduce even more fans to the already popular game. Widely acclaimed as one of the most beautifully designed tower defense games in the iTunes App Store, Elf Defense typically retails for $2.99.
Slice 'n Dice Ninja Combines Physics and Detailed Artwork in Premium Castle-Defense Game
Van Dyk Entertainment would like to announce the release of their premiere iOS application, Slice 'n Dice Ninja 1.0, now available in the App Store. Slice 'n Dice ninja is a physics-based castle-defense game, employing superb artwork, anatomically-correct ragdoll-physics and skeletal animation.
Zombie Apps: iOS Games That Want eat Your Brains!
Twilight? Vampires? Werewolves? Really? Come on. They're good for scaring and maybe titillating teenage girls — but Zombies are real. At the beach last month, I read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and World War Z; I drank zombies; I listened to Rob Zombie; I rented Shaun of the Dead; And of course I played zombie apps.
Swords and Soldiers is Castle Defense Bliss with Ninja Monkeys
Ouch! Did you just hit me with a ninja monkey? Chillingo, developers of Cut the Rope, has done it again with Swords and Soldiers, where they welcome you to ye olde times of castle defense dominance where your strategy should be mightier than your sword.
Protector: The Planes is TD Goodness
An original flash game series, Protector: The Planes is a tower defense style game for iPhone that shouldn't be overlooked, especially if you're a fan of strategy/TD games. Protector: The Planes has all the good elements of a great tower defense battle including ever-changing, evolving waves of enemies, each with their own weaknesses and immunities.
Plants vs Zombies for iPhone: Less Challenge, More Entertainment
Ah, Zombies, those shambling, mindless, wafer-thin analogs for the great mass of humanity one encounters on long bus and rail commutes. Movies and gaming will never tire of finding new ways for you to kill the relentless hordes.
Medieval is a Polished Castle Defense Game
It's not often that a game can truly appeal to gamers of multiple skill levels. But I think that Medieval, the castle defense game from Brisk Mobile, is one of those games. Set the difficulty to easy and it's challenging but winnable, a good incentive for casual gamers to keep playing.
Star Defense Takes Traditional Tower Defense to New Level
Developer ngmoco is already much respected for its games, notably, Rolando and Topple 2. The company's latest, Star Defense, takes game play to a whole new level (100 new levels to be exact).

AppCraver recently spoke with Hasan Edain, CEO of NPC Unlimited. He shares his experiences developing for the iPhone and iPod touch. When did you start developing apps for the iPhone? Did you have previous experience as a developer?
Sentinel Ups the Ante for Tower Defense Games
Sentinel - Tower defense (TD) games have proven to be a genre that can be done extremely well on the iPhone. The cream of the crop in this genre currently includes titles such as Fieldrunners, 7 Cities, The Creeps, and they all have their own quirks that make them unique.
The Creeps! is Scarily Addictive Tower Defense Game
The Creeps - Let it be known that I love a good sale. Who doesn't? My own affection for sales transcends to the iTunes Store as well as anywhere else and right now you can get The Creeps! on sale for just $0.99.
7 Cities Tower Defense Game Includes Marauding Pirates
7 Cities - I'm almost embarrassed to admit it, but until recently, I didn't realize just how engaging tower defense strategy games such as Fieldrunners and Zombie Attack can be. The concept didn't seem all that challenging so I never looked at the genre closely.
Interview with Don Arnel of Galactic Invasion
AppCraver recently heard from Don Arnel, the creator of Galactic Invasion. He answered our questions about developing games for the iPhone and iPod touch. 1. When did you start developing apps for the iPhone?

Fun & Service at Heifer International
This article is part of The Story Behind, a regular series that features extraordinary photos from Warren Wilson life. (Click here to see more.)
When guests arrived at a casual Warren Wilson get-together at Heifer International Learning Center at Overlook Farm, in Rutland, Mass., they were greeted by Associate Admission Director Morning Naughton '97. "I was holding a baby lamb, who we named Wilson in honor of the event and our love for WWC," explained Morning. The group introduced themselves, took a tour of Heifer Farm, gathered for local food and conversation, and then some folks did farm chores and helped with the animals. It was a wonderful day and a lot of great connections were made.
The College hosted the gathering for alumni, incoming/prospective students and their families at a place with a deep Warren Wilson connection. Overlook Farm is a Heifer International Training Center where WWC Alumni Board member Donna Kilpatrick '88 serves as livestock manager. "Warren Wilson College profoundly and radically changed my life," Donna explained.
At Warren Wilson, Donna studied literature and worked on the Farm Crew, serving as leader of the Swine Crew and often staying on campus during holiday and summer breaks honing her tractor skills and caring for the farm's livestock. For the service component of Warren Wilson's Triad, Donna traveled to Costa Rica where she worked on a small dairy farm, helping with milking chores and then riding, via an oxcart, to the processing plant to deliver the milk.
After graduating, Donna began working at Hickory Nut Gap Farm, where she managed the dairy and planted and harvested forage crops. Donna continued her work in agriculture as a Peace Corps volunteer in Ecuador. After returning to the states, she was hired as an admission counselor at Warren Wilson, where she spent five years recruiting students and volunteering on the college farm. Next, Donna moved to New York and joined the admission office at Eugene Lange College of the New School. While there she matriculated into the graduate division of the New School, obtaining her master's degree in non-profit management. Her final stint in college admissions took place at Hampshire College, where she served as senior associate director.
Now, at Heifer International Learning Center at Overlook Farm in Rutland, Donna teaches others about sustainable agriculture and issues of hunger and poverty. Heifer International is an international development organization that empowers communities to lift themselves out of poverty through the sustainable gift of livestock. About Warren Wilson, Donna concludes, "I love my work and credit Warren Wilson College and the hands-on work experience I received there on farm, as the experience that ignited my love of agriculture and paved the way to my current position with Heifer International."

Pew: Older Workers Don't Crowd Out Younger Workers For Jobs
Posted By Carole Fleck On September 13, 2012 @ 3:05 pm In Work Matters | Comments Disabled
[1]How often have you heard people say that older workers [2] putting off retirement [3] and staying on the job longer means fewer opportunities for younger workers? Well, a new report finds just the opposite is true.
Researchers for the Pew Charitable Trusts [4] looked at the government's Current Population Survey for data on workers ages 20 to 64, from 1977 to 2011, and drew these conclusions: At times when older workers enjoy a higher employment rate, there is increased employment and higher wages for all workers.
"The purpose of this research was to look at the notion that there are a fixed number of jobs in the economy… This economic theory pits workers against each other and we wanted to explore whether that was actually the case. It wasn't," says Erin Currier, a project manager at Pew.
"When the economy produces jobs, everybody [of all ages] can be successful at one time," she says. "This is an important finding."
The study didn't attempt to answer why the economy works this way but the numbers clearly show it does. And that's good news, because given the precarious state of the U.S. retirement system, and the need for many people to work longer, it's important for policy makers and employers to understand that retaining older workers doesn't hurt the job prospects of younger people, the report said.
Older workers are delaying retirement and staying in the workforce in record numbers. In fact, people 65 and older are the fastest-growing segment of the labor force. Nearly one in five are working or looking for work, the highest labor force participation rate for this group in some 50 years.
We can thank the worst downturn since the Great Depression for that. Millions of people saw their housing values fall and savings shrink, just as they were on retirement's doorstep.
An AARP study [5]found that some 1.5 million older adults lost their homes in the foreclosure crisis, and another 3.5 million were still struggling to hold on to theirs.
What's more, Wellesley College just released a study [6] that says recessions aren't just bad for our bottom line, they're bad for our health. Researchers looked at four decades of mortality data, along with corresponding labor market conditions. They say that people in their late 50s and early 60s who lose their jobs in a recession could see their lifespan shortened by as much as three years.
Other key findings of this study:
- It takes years to make up for job and income losses and that may account for the reduced life expectancy.
- The longevity of workers who have already hit age 62, the minimum age for Social Security eligibility, is not affected, presumably because of the income that Social Security provides.
- The Medicare system also helps, because anyone who's lost health insurance due to the recession gets it again upon turning 65.
"Those workers who are unlucky enough to approach retirement during a recession will, unfortunately, face long-term health consequences," says Wellesley economist Phillip B. Levine. "The situation would likely be worse if it weren't for the support of the Social Security and Medicare system in providing income support and health insurance for the elderly."

Ignatieff woos West in curious strategy
Don Martin, Canwest News ServicePublished: Wednesday, February 18, 2009
Flying west aboard the Liberal leader's jet during the 2000 election campaign, a senior adviser was asked if Jean Chretien was planning a pit stop in Calgary at some point.
The guy looked at me like I was an alien life form. "You can't see a winnable Liberal seat from 35,000 feet above the Calgary Tower," he snapped, retreating suddenly to the front of the plane. "There are no plans to land."
The Liberals have gone from being on regional life-support then, to languishing in palliative care today, reduced to the rubble of winning just seven of the 92 seats west of Ontario.
The party received 16 per cent of the western vote last fall, a distant third to the New Democrats and a mere smidgen of the Conservatives' domination over a majority of votes cast.
But somebody forgot to share those dire stats with Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff, who seems to relish banging his head on the western wall, no matter how painfully poor the prospects of winning seats.
The guy has been to Western Canada twice since his coronation two months ago, pledging to give voice to regional concerns as if they were his own.
At his first news conference, Ignatieff's demand that the West deserved more political respect as Canada's economic engine sounded patronizing and his I-know-my-way-around-a-farm tribute was completely over the top.
But you've got to wonder if he's actually getting serious about this woo-the-West business.
Ignatieff was in Saskatchewan on Valentine's Day, feeling a rare dose of Liberal love while admitting the December coalition's demise was due more to Western Canada outrage than
the logistical discomfort of shaking hands with the separatist devils in a tri-party deal to take over the
government. He even promised to raise agricultural product labelling concerns with U. S. President Barack Obama during their coffee break together on Thursday, a priority that nobody else would think to put on their agenda.
Even more confounding is how Ignatieff consistently defends the importance of Alberta's oilsands, even when talking to a green-leaning audience in Montreal.
"The best way to overcome western alienation, in my view, is to get a few more Liberals in the House of Commons in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. I don't think that's an unrealistic expectation," he told supporters in Saskatoon.
That's still got to be a dream, if not a delusion, which is why it's a curious strategy for a Liberal leader to focus on the West when, to paraphrase former premier Ralph Klein, he would be better off hunting where the ducks are.
There's got to be stronger growth potential from hard-selling the brand in Ontario outside of the party's crumbling Toronto fortress or rebuilding the base in Quebec where Liberals could displace Conservatives as the federalist choice.
Perhaps, Ignatieff has decided any serious Liberal bid to form a government needs more pan-Canadian representation, so he's trying to fill in the Prairie dead zones with some Grits.
It's not entirely hopeless, one supposes, but Alberta DNA has an entire helix strand devoted to rejecting Liberal genes and Saskatchewan isn't much better.

Since I wanted to stake out new mountain biking territory in the East Bay — I have a perpetually restless need to ride in areas I haven't ridden before — TBO and I headed to Briones Regional Park today. While we've zoomed past the entrance countless times during Three Bears rides and briefly refueled there during a Grizzly Peak Century rest stop several years ago, neither of us had ventured in the park with our mountain bikes.
TBO wanted to do a clockwise perimeter loop, but it turned out to be a bit too ambitious for me — especially after CX practice all week and getting there from Lafayette BART via the long climb up Happy Valley Road. The first ascent up Briones Crest Trail was at least 25% grade, if not more. After much hiking on my part, we decided to turn around and hit up some easier sections.
Briones is filled with tons of short, steep climbs — which is not my forte on the dirt (although nothing really is at this point in time!) By the time we climbed up to about 1400ft., I was pretty knackered. But the views are gorgeous; you can see Mt. Diablo, Suisun Bay and endless miles of golden hills at the very top. We left at the northern entrance of the park and made our way to Pleasant Hill BART. It'll be a great place for me to keep practice climbing and descending in the future; maybe one of these days I'll be able to hoof up that one gnarly climb at the start of Briones Crest Trail.
19.11 miles / 2523 ft.
High fives all-around, Portland and San Francisco! The De Rosa has been located and will be hand delivered to Justin next month. Please spread the word about its recovery – to call off the search and as a warning to future bike thieves – and we'd like to extend a big thank you to everyone who helped with its return! And here's how the story unfolded this past week:
Bike thieves – they are the scourge of the cycling community. I recently had my mountain bike stolen, but it was miraculously recovered in just four days. Putting the word out online really helped with its return, and I'm hoping we can do the same for my friend Justin.
I asked him to email me the story about his missing bike and why it's so important to him. We can all assign a monetary value to our bicycles, but as you know, its real value isn't about its price tag.
"Here's the story of my favorite bike ever. A 1980's De Rosa Super Prestige pista. I purchased the bike from a gentleman on eBay in February of 2005. It was impeccable. Brand new. Mint. Not sure if the guy ever rode it. I took photos of the unopened box after the UPS man delivered it. Then I took photos of me opening the box, and pulling the frame out. I had never been so enamored with a bike. I was in bike love. All those years of staring at old De Rosa catalogs on the bulgier.net website, and now I had one, a perfect one. Not only was it a De Rosa, it also had an ornate decal celebrating a variety of Eddy Merckx's victories on the top tube. "Incredible", I thought. The bike was outfitted with Campagnolo's C-Record pista group and Cinelli bars and stem. It was 100% Italian. I rode it at Hellyer, I rode it around SF, I rode it everywhere.
In August of 2006, I moved to New York for a short time. Knowing full well that bike theft was rampant in the Big Apple, I opted to leave my De Rosa behind in a storage locker I had rented. I thought, "it'll be safe here". Now in New York, with fall approaching, I sent my wife (then girlfriend) to my storage locker to fetch a heavier blanket for me. She called me from the storage locker, "Justin, there are 2 locks on your door, I only have the key for one". Why were there 2 locks on my storage locker door? "There must be some mixup," I remember thinking. My wife fetched a Public Storage employee to ask about the additional lock. He explained to her that they put an extra lock on because they found my door open. THEY FOUND MY DOOR OPEN!? WHAT!? Why didn't anybody call me? She finally gets into my locker, and it's worst case scenario. Everything is gone. Computer? Gone. Records? Gone. Guitars? Gone. DE ROSA!? GONE. **An important side note to this was that, just a few months earlier, my band, Film School, had our van stolen while on tour in Philadelphia. All of our gear was stolen. One of the basses that the thieves took from my storage locker was the replacement bass from the Film School theft. I'd just been kicked in the nuts…TWICE.**
I frantically called friends, posted on message boards, put up fliers, talked to messengers, filed a police report, complained to Public Storage, posted on craigslist, etc. I was optimistic I'd find it. I thought there was no way a bike of that caliber could stay hidden for that long. I setup an RSS feed to notify me anytime something with the word De Rosa was posted to craigslist. I did the same thing on eBay. I did everything. It never showed up though. It was gone.
Then, a few days ago, a random stranger on the San Francisco Fixed Gear message board sent me a craigslist link. It was a De Rosa, blue, same color as mine. It had the same nicks on that incredible Eddy Merckx decal. It was my bike. I emailed the seller in hopes of buying it back, but received no response. The ad has since been pulled, and the bike is gone, again."
We've already started to put the word out in the Portland cycling community. Several friends of ours who live in Portland have already alerted their colleagues, co-workers and the media. But we also need your help getting this bike back! Share this post, be on the lookout wherever you go — bike shops, flea markets — and online. The De Rosa couldn't have strayed too far as it was just sold last night via craigslist. We hope with your help that Justin might finally be reunited with his beloved bike.

Facebook's redesigned News Feed just 'subtle' tweak of original
Facebook has launched its redesigned News Feed, which is nothing like its previous overhauls but a subtle tweak displaying larger pictures in the feed.
The new News Feed contains just two major changes, one where updates are set off from the background of the page by making them look like white cards against a gray surface.
The tweak also shows the updates little lower than they used to, giving the effect that a user's name and profile picture have been grouped together as a header, apart from a slightly different font for easy reading, Washington Post reports.
According to the report, the latest range of tweaks come in place of a previously planned overhaul that Facebook announced last year, but it never reached consumers for its drastic and unifying look across desktop and mobile screens.
However, the company has retained a feature from the proposed design, which shows more prominent pictures in the feed, in-line with the company's focus on photos, especially after Instagram takeover.
The white cards in the new design do mirror the look of Facebook's latest social news reader app, Paper, which has won rave reviews from design critics for its look and usability, the report added.

Soldotna School Realignment Meetings to Take Place Tonight
The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District will be holding a series of meetings tonight to continue discussions of the proposed Soldotna area School realignment plans. Pegge Erkeneff with the KPBSD told us that district officials will be holding meetings tonight at 6:00pm at all ten greater Soldotna area school sites. Erkeneff outlined the proposed realignment
Erkeneff: "In this proposal, we have two middle schools, Skyview would be a middle school a (7-9) as well as Soldotna Middle School, and Skyview would still have RCA[River City Academy] at their campus, and there would be one high school. Right now, our students go to 6 elementary schools, then they go to one middle school, and then they have to split to two high schools in the area. So it would also shift some of those big transitions at pretty important years for our students."
During our conversations, Erkeneff also noted that there has been a lot of misconceptions about the project in the area.
Erkeneff: "We're hearing we're closing Skyview, we're hearing a lot of different things about why can't we do this, or this would be a good idea, there's lots of good ideas out there, there's a lot of considerations to go into a big decision like this to use existing buildings. A big piece of this is declining enrollment, and if we do nothing, in a few more years we'll have a major problem and be in a reactionary state, and the School District and the School Board are looking to make sure that doesn't happen so that we can provide many opportunities for all of our students and a quality education in the Soldotna area."

1. Be Proactive
I cannot just sit here waiting for someone to spoon-feed me the opportunities. I gotta give myself more chances. Get out there. Do something. Work for it. Let opportunities see ME.
2. Love for People
We all have our differences. Who am I to say I'm right and you're wrong? He's wrong? She's wrong? I may prove my points, but I can never win your heart. My focus, then, is rather to love you for who you are. Listen and understand you, because you are just as important and precious as me, no matter who you are or WHAT you are. Be real with me. We're all humans.
3. Be Reliable
If you know me, you would know that I have some issues with punctuality. I MUST become someone who is diligent, on time, active, positive, responsible. Someone who people can count on.
4. Self-Improving
I am realizing more that what matters the most is what I know personally. WHO I am personally. School itself can only teach you so much. So I must keep bettering myself and maximize my talent outside of school while I still have the time and the energy, because my youth ain't coming back. It's funny how I still look forward and waiting for the future to come, yet I'm almost 22 already. Back when I was 16, I thought was gonna be someone amazing by this age. I don't want to think the same way when I'm 30.
5. Appreciate
Sometimes I get too caught up wanting and wishing, that I forget about the things I already have. I need to be more thankful each day to keep myself humble and grounded. I don't have time to feel sorry for myself.
So here's to a New Year: 2014. Let's get it.
P.S I really need to make more damn videos.

Even worse, Poway's financial situation is no different from that of nearly 200 other California school districts, as some districts are on the hook for 10 to 20 times the amount they initially borrowed. In fact, the superintendent of the Poway School District, John Collins, recently told San Diego's PBS affiliate that "Poway has done nothing different than every other district in the state of California." These bonds in question are known as Capital Appreciation Bonds (CABs), and they are unlike typical bonds because they allow "districts to defer payments well into the future — by which time lots of interest has accrued." California's State Treasurer Bill Lockyer has determined that nearly 200 school districts in the state have borrowed nearly $3 billion in CABs and are on the hook for a combined $16 billion. According to NPR, Lockyer said such bonds are the "the school district equivalent of a payday loan or a balloon payment" where "you have a spike in interest rates that's extraordinary." Lockyer is "poring through" a database to determine which districts are at most risk but has come to the conclusion that most of these bonds cannot even be refinanced. One such district is West West Contra School District, which is just outside of San Francisco. In 2010, the district took a $2.5 million bond in order to get $25 million to build an elementary school, which seemed like a net gain of $22.5 million for the district at the time. Not so fast. That $2.5 million bond will ultimately cost the district a whopping $34 million to pay over its term. Lockyer said the superintendents of these districts should have been fired for this reckless borrowing.

Winterbird Lyrics - Whispering Forest
Through the falling snow
she gracefully flies.
A sight not to be seen
by awoken eyes.
Every time when asleep,
I chase her through landscapes.
I still can hear her wings clap
and keep running even if awake.
There is no telling how I yearn
to fly with this wintery bird.
She would sit next to me
and eat from my hand.
Together we would glide
through the desert land.
The arrival of spring I' ve always hated,
you still live in my dreams.
sponsored linksWhere the flowers are forever faded,
and winter never leaves.

Mark this date on your calendar: Oct.22.
That is when Show Low's football team travels down the road to play Lakeside Blue Ridge.
Forget about last year's state championship football showdown that was won by Blue Ridge.
Emotions may never be stronger than in this one.
Thursday, the Arizona Interscholastic Association cleared heralded quarterback/safety Jordan Morgan to play for Blue Ridge.
He was held out until now while the AIA had Blue Ridge check into a recruiting allegation made by Show Low last month.
Blue Ridge assistant Dan Hawkins was a top assistant at Show Low last year. Blue Ridge coach Paul Moro took shots at Show Low coach Randy Ricedorff last year for keeping his son, Rathen, in a blowout against Chinle while he set a national record with nine touchdown passes.
Is there some bad blood?
Even more than the bad blood that exists between Scottsdale schools Saguaro and Chaparral. Saguaro and Chaparral don't play each other any more.
So Blue Ridge and Show Low now becomes the most vitriolic high school rivarly in Arizona.
Now, one of the most anticipated matchups in small-school history is on, with Show Low's Rathen Ricedorff matched against Morgan, last year's Small School POY who led Chandler Valley Christian to the Class 2A championship.
Morgan is just grateful to be playing.
"There is a young man doing a good job at Blue Ridge now (at quarterback), and Jordan knows he has to work his way up," said Bill Morgan, Jordan's father and former coach at Valley Christian. "He'll play offensive guard. He'll play on the kickoff team. He just wants to get back on the field. Now the (University of) California coaches can come watch him play."
There will be plenty more than coaches on the Blue Ridge sideline on Oct.22.
It could be the most-attended game in Blue Ridge history.
And by then Morgan should be at full throttle.

Stuffy government fisheries scientist Fred Jones (Ewan McGregor) is asked by a fishing-obsessed Arab Sheik to do the seemingly impossible—introduce British salmon to the wadis of the Yemen. Despite considerable trepidation, Fred is finally won over by the charismatic Sheik, who reveals that fishing brings him closer to God, and he hopes it will have the same effect on his countrymen.Fred also begins to fall for the Sheik's beautiful legal representative Harriet (Emily Blunt); and so he rises to the Sheik's eccentric challenge, casting off his English reserve on a transformative journey of self discovery and late blooming love.

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney has been on a damage control since their lopsided loss to Florida State. First, he was talking about what fans had to look forward to the rest of this season, which is quite a bit. As frustrated as the overwhelming loss to Florida State is, Swinney is taking them places they have never really gone before; certainly not under Tommy Bowden. They lost a big game, but they also beat Georgia and had kept every game since then out of reach of opponents.
Swinney then was put in the awkward position of making the argument that the 51-14 score was not indicative of the gap between the two programs, not only for critics but also for his players and future recruits. He is probably right as when games get lopsided, they can get out of hand quickly. However, Swinney trying to make the argument that in a series of 10 games, they would each win 5 feels like a stretch. For all the talent the Clemson Tigers have, which is a good amount, the Seminoles just seemed to have every bit of it and then some.
The two big advantages that should have worked in the favor of the Tigers including Tajh Boyd's experience and home field advantage proved utterly worthless last Saturday night. Boyd looked like a redshirt freshman while Jameis Winston looked like the senior quarterback making one big push for a championship. They were simply outgunned by a loaded Florida State team. Could Clemson beat Florida State? Absolutely. 5 out of 10? Swinney tried to make that argument, but it is an extremely tough sell to anyone but the most die-hard Tiger fans and should have probably just left it alone and moved on to Maryland. Swinney is doing a lot of good things with the Clemson program and could take them a very long way, but he just needs to worry about finishing the season strong and letting the play on the field do his recruiting for him as opposed to trying to argue it at the podium. Coming back and beating the Seminoles next year would not hurt them either.

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Friday morning.
Nowitzki has missed the last three preseason games with right knee effusion.
Nowitzki told The Fan's Mike Fisher on Monday October 15th "I'm doing everything I can to avoid surgery," after sitting out the Mavs preseason home-opening win over Houston. "I guess that's obvious that I really don't want it done now."
The surgery was done at Texas Sports Medicine by team orthopedic surgeon T.O. Souryal.
Nowitzki is expected to be back to on-court activities within 4-6 weeks.

By Javier Pes. From Art Basel daily editionPublished online: 14 June 2013
The Royal Academy of Arts in London is negotiating with a potential partner in Moscow, the artist-run institution's chief executive, Charles Saumarez Smith, has confirmed. The Russian project—details of which are still to be announced—follows the news last month that the academy is bidding to co-organise, with a local partner, the arts programme of the Central Police Station in Hong Kong, a planned cultural centre that is being designed by the architects Herzog & de Meuron and is due to open in 2015. The academy has been increasingly active in the Gulf and Singapore. "The Gulf states and Asia are [interested] in [our] model of representing living artists," Saumarez Smith says, noting that, unlike many museums, the academy is independent of the government.

And that's the way the cookie crumbles.
I have sex every 2-6 weeks, it depends on my schedule. I only have sex with one man during these times and I'm very selective when it comes to me finding a new companion, but lately I've been thinking about it and I don't know why. Like yes, I don't want to be portrayed as a whore, because women my age who are single and have multiple partners usually get branded with that name.
Am I emotionally stable enough to be with a new man? Am I physically ready to be with a new man? Do I want to have a threesome? I've had offers I can't lie, But I'm terrified to be honest. I also am wondering if it's time I start experimenting with females, not entirely sure about it but I'm keeping it as an option.
If we're being honest I am so sexually satisfied with the companion I have right now that I don't feel the need to be with someone else, I feel romanced and wanted by him. The way his fingers feel under the tips of my own, and the way I'm man handled in the bedroom is just so erotic. I get massages, kisses, spankings etc. and in the end I'm always cuddled. It's probably top 3 in all of my sexcapades. But at the end of the day am I emotionally fulfilled?
I feel like there should be more to my life than sex, shouldn't I want to be with someone more then just physically? I do like my companion trust me I do, if given the option I might even consider doing the relationship thing. But this is what I mean, shouldn't a relationship be something that I want? Not something that I feel like I should have? I'm old enough for a relationship, I mean I have an almost three year old child.. Shouldn't I be looking for someone I might want to marry soon? Start a family with? Have as a father figure in the seeds life?
Are my lack of needs really selfish wants when it comes to the seed? I don't want to be forced to share her, I don't know how well I'd do if I had to. Plus, the seed get's so attached to EVERYONE I feel like her heartbreak would be worse than my own. Is that what I'm truly afraid of? Or am I just making up excuses for my own heart? I've seen so many girls, boys, men, and women who have been TORN apart by a mere breakup. I'm only as strong as my exterior allows me to be, I bruise so easily that I think the smallest of heartbreaks would ruin the experience for me.
Is it just me? Am I overthinking as usual?

Synopsis (About The Film)

|learn to cope?
I think I developed plantar fasciitis about 3 weeks ago - and it terrifies me! Out of the blue, a few hours after a run, I suddenly couldn't walk due to a terrible pain in my heel. For the next 4 days, I didn't run, I constantly iced it and stretched. The pain subsided to a nonpainful sensation in my heel and arch area. I decided to do an ez 5miler on the fifth day. It was not painful but I definitely was aware of something going on there. I decided to do 7miler that same evening (probably dumb to double?) and again it was not painful but was very noticable. After both runs I iced. This has been going on now for a couple weeks and I have been praying that this sensation will go away.
Will it? Should I just take off a full month? Does each ez run prevent it from healing?
This is very depressing and demotivating.
Tell me about it. I've battled it off and on for 14 years.
It has never fully gone away and I'm currently in the middle of a 6-week NO RUN phase. I'm getting PT and ultrasound and was stretching, but managed to aggravate my achilles by OVERstretching. Yes, you can do that.
It's a b*stard bitch...that's all I can say.
I'm looking at bicycles, it may be time to hang up the running shoes. If this doesn't work I'm going with a cortisone shot...if all else fails.
At least I had ten decent years.
|learn from me pay attention
1) resting does no good- but use ice, ultrasound,
2) get a cortisone shot
3) get to a recommended sports podiatrist who can custom make some soft orthotics for you.
I wasted 3 of my 5 years in college trying all sorts of crap to deal with p.f. I rested an entire month and it did no good.
Ice and ultrasound are good treatments to 'help', but won't make it go away. I had a very promising career in college, (14:27 5k and 3:51 1500m- freshman year), pretty much wiped out by pf. By the time I got it under control for good I was almost out of school. The good news is, that I ran competitively for almost 10 years after college and the pf never came back. I wore my orthotics for all running and racing; but not in street shoes. I made one US team for a 10k road race, too, that went overseas to race, so I wasn't just jogging, post college.
you can beat pf and get it under control but you can't fall for every half-assed idea that people will tell you is a sure cure. NOT.
There is hope for you. There are many stretches and strength exercises that will help resolve it. also, lose some weight you porker!
I had PF for years until I developed knee pain that forced me to cut my training enough for the PF to resolve itself. Luckily, when my back pain got bad enough to need surgery, the knee pain went away.
But I've felt pretty good the last couple weeks.
|learn to cope?
I haven't yet been to an orthopedist (podiatrist or orthopedist? Not sure yet which to go to).
Is there a chance that I don't have pf but rather have a bad bruise or something else? I just don't understand what I did wrong.
What do you mean by " get it under control"? Is your pf gone or is it just tolerable?
I'm currently dealing with PF also. Writing the alphabet a few times a day with my foot, heating, icing, ib prof when needed, sleeping with a stretching boot on, lots of calf stretching... any other suggestions? Already have orthotics that are wonderful. I am on the mend from foot (navicular) surgery. If you have any advice, please share!
|learn from me pay attention
1- podiatrist- but not just any- do some research
2-wishful thinking; I thought that I must have had a stone bruise too; rested over a month and the pf came right back.
3- the pf didn't go away 100% right away, but was greatly diminished and then did go away, 100% within a year of getting the orthotics and having them adjusted a couple of times.
I consider this a more appropriate way to strengthen the foot intrinsics.
Some cases of chronic PF may be plantar nerve entrapment as well. They're actually fun problems to work on from my standpoint. I don't bother with the ultrasound (so much of a waste, really). To get a good clinical result, I've found that I have to do the following:
1. initial inflammation (if not a chronic problem, > 4-6 weeks) control - Plantar taping for two weeks, retaped at each treatment session
2. Biomechanical foot analysis and gait analysis, determine if orthotics are appropriate - Orthotics are often issued as a "shotgun" approach with anyone with plantar fasciitis, which is probably why the literature has shown such poor outcomes when used to treat PF.
3. Train the patient in initial weightbearing activities (slow foot circles and gradually working towards full weightbearing over a few minutes before standing/walking each morning until the symptoms come under control).
4. night sleeve - Strassburg sock - forget the plastic boots, they're impossible to sleep in.
5. Strength/endurance/balance training - the article above explains the foot end of it, but you have to work "up the chain" so to speak - hip abductor/ER training, for example - some of these cases that just don't get better aren't getting better because of poor postural/rotary control at the hip - over-pronation or prolonged pronation isn't just driven by the foot.
6. Shoes- I'm not a total minimalist freak, but I do think that the majority of trainers offer too much cushioning. The goofy thing that some do is use an orthotic device in a motion control shoe. For casual walking, I have patients wear hard-soled shoes - sounds stupid, but too much cushioning causes the foot to swim too much.
7. deep friction massage in chronic cases - trying to remodel the tissue - I use instrument assist (graston technique).
And that's about it, in a nutshell.

or, you can get a good, old fashioned cortisone shot, rest a week to let it work and the pain and inflamation will be gone. Of course, that just treats the painful symptom and you will need to do further preventative treatments as others have described, to keep it from coming back.
|the answer man.
does it 'just go away'? No, not unless you want to stop running.
should you take a month off? No, it won't do any good.
does each run prevent it from healing? Not really, cause it will not just heal, once the plantar ligament is torn. It is a very tough area to heal naturally, as the blood flow through the plantar ligament is unlike other parts of the body. A cortisone shot will usually clear up the inflamation and get the healing process going and wash out the debris in the torn ligament.
warm it up before you run, ice it after you run
Had Plantar Fascitis in January 2003. Cortisone shot took care of it.
|PF Sucks!
I have it right now in my left foot. 6 weeks light running did not help me much at all. I've almost gotten completely over it, but only after incorporating the following:
1) Ice - Freeze a water bottle and roll it along your plantar fascia and heel several times a day and after you run. If you feel any bumps in there (probably scar tissue), work those areas good and try to break them up. This might be painful but work through it.
2) Stretch - LIGHTLY stretch your calves throughout the day and get them good after you run or warm up. Also, I found this on a barefoot running forum and it has helped me. Buy two soft, compression softballs (can be found in a sporting goods store, wal-mart, etc.). Before bed, stand on the softballs and roll them along your platar fascias for 2-3 minutes. It will be painful at first but after a few days of this it will get better and won't hurt much anymore.
3) Walk around barefoot as much as possible and don't wear high heeled shoes if possible. This will keep your calves and plantar fascias stretched (which high heels prevent). Your feet and lower legs might ache at first but eventually it will get better as they strengthen. Eventually incorporate short barefoot runs at least once a week.
|Bad Advice
Number three is the worst PF advice I have ever heard. Barefeet is part of the problem. Have something with arch support on your feet at all times.
Rest will do no good. You must correct the problem. Orthodics will usually do the trick if you stick with them.
|Shagpole Filly
that's exactly what the Podiatrist I'm seeing said
two other people in my club were treated by this fellow and swear by him
|PF Sucks!
You are treating the immediate symptoms, not the cause of the problem. As a long term solution, you should strengthen your feet and ankles, along with keeping your plantar fascia stretched. You don't see many Kenyans with P.F.- they all grew up running around barefoot and have very strong lower legs. Same goes with runners in the 60s and 70s who all ran in low heeled, flat shoes. No PF until shoe companies started shoving these high heeled overly cushioned shoes down our throats.
Also, for any fatties out there, try losing some weight.
|learn to cope?
Thx for all the comments. Nonetheless, this thread leaves me very down. I have been injury-free til now and this is so demotivating. My mpw has dropped by 50 %.
The rosiest scenario painted here was that if I get orthodics then perhaps in a year I'll feel better. That's not good news! I want instant gratification!
The general consensus here seems to be that running is not going to make it worse. So I can race and just push thru the discomfort. If so, somehow I suspect though that I will not put in maximum effort due to worrying about foot.
Try ART, find someone (a chiropracter or massage therapist) that uses this technique. It's really helpful when combined with a lot of stretching and strenghtening.

then get a cortisone shot, rest another week and the pain should be gone.

A federal judge still hasn't ruled on a request made almost two months ago by a former Mahoning County Common Pleas Court judge for an early end to her post-prison federal supervision.
Maureen A. Cronin, who was released from the Federal Correctional Institution in Greenville, Ill., on March 8, 2012, made her written request Jan. 6 to Akron-based U.S. District Judge Sara Lioi.
Judge Lioi had sentenced Cronin to 27 months in prison and fined her $4,000 after Cronin pleaded guilty to honest services mail fraud.
Cronin was charged with taking and failing to report an $18,000 no-interest cash loan from a local businesswoman, whose company had cases pending before her.
Cronin self-reported to the prison camp March 24, 2010, and was released March 8, 2012, "having received credit for good time," Cronin wrote in her letter to Judge Lioi.
The federal judge had sentenced Cronin, 60, of Youngstown, to be on supervised released for three years, and Cronin has so far been under supervision for almost two years.
Justin J. Roberts, the assistant U.S. attorney who prosecuted Cronin, filed a written objection to Cronin's request Jan. 22, saying reducing her supervised release time "is not in the interest of justice ... particularly in light of the serious nature of the underlying offense."
Cronin "has not identified any burden the supervised release imposes upon her other activities," Roberts added.
In her letter, Cronin told Judge Lioi she has complied with all rules and regulations, while in prison and on supervised release and that her probation officer is aware of and supports her early-termination request.
Her probation officer, Kevin G. Clements, could not be reached to comment.
Cronin told the federal judge she became executive director of the nonprofit Midlothian Free Health Clinic, which provides free medical services to uninsured people, on Dec. 1, 2012.
In that position, Cronin said she writes grant applications and does public speaking and recruiting "in hopes of growing the agency."
When a reporter called her on a clinic telephone line, Cronin said: "You are calling a business line to ask a personal question. That is totally unacceptable. Have a good day." She then hung up.
An earlier attempt by a reporter to reach Cronin on her home telephone line was unsuccessful.
As conditions of her probation, Judge Lioi said Cronin must:
Participate in an approved substance-abuse treatment program, including alcohol and drug testing, to determine if she has reverted to substance abuse.
Refrain from gambling or associating with those involved in that activity.
Provide her probation officer any financial information he requests and participate in any outpatient mental-health treatment he orders.
Remain in Northern Ohio unless Judge Lioi or her probation officer permit travel elsewhere.
Since her release from prison, Cronin told Judge Lioi she has volunteered at the Community Corrections Association in Youngstown, where she has helped women make the transition back into the community and developed "a curriculum to train caregivers and social workers working with children of incarcerated parents."
"She did a great job," said David Stillwagon, CCA chief executive officer, who supervised Cronin's work there. "She was able to effectively reach out to the women within the halfway house."
Cronin was "able to share her real-life experience and what it is that she had to do in order to effectively reintegrate back into society," Stillwagon added.
In her letter to Judge Lioi, Cronin cited a June 24, 2010, U.S. Supreme Court decision rendered while she was incarcerated, which said the honest-services fraud statute "is properly confined to cover only bribery and kickback schemes."
Based on that decision, Cronin said her conduct "may not be interpreted as a violation of that statute," but she chose not to appeal to vacate her plea based on that decision.
Rumor has it that Cronin, Engler, Belinky, DeMaine Kitchen and Lisa Antonini have discussed forming a splinter political party called "The Democratic Non-Taxpaying Bribery Sexual Harassment Felon Screw-the-Public-Trust Party" Their rumored platform statement would be, "No matter how great the crime, Mahoning Valley voters will forget the time".
No comment yet from Dave Betrus or Bertie deSouza on this potential political challenge.
But Bobby Hagan said he might be interested in running for their precinct committee position if he can find the proper paperwork.
In response, Ron Gerberry did his usual Sgt. Schultz impression with his comment, "I see nothing! I hear nothing! I say nothing!"
And Timmy Ryan sent his usual $5 donation to the proposed party just in case they win something and they need to buy puppet strings to control his speeches supporting Obamacare and out-of-control deficit spending.
Can a convicted felon be in a position of authority for a Non Profit?
Formerdemlib just said what everyone else is thinking. He has the b**** to say it. Mahoning County is still rift with political hacks and wannabes. It's passed down from generation to generation like a virus. Sad but true. I do hope Maureen does well though. She's one of the few who admits wrongdoing and takes the punishment. Not too many like her around these parts.
She did not get a $18,000 loan! She took a $18,000 bribe!! Also, the comment from "legaleagle". Sounds like you might be a lawyer and maybe want to get in on one of these judges positions so you can get yourself a,what did they call it, oh yea, a "LOAN"
"That is totally unacceptable. "
So is taking bribes. Keep her on probation.
The reason she did not seek to have her sentence vacated is because she did not want to have all the facts come out of what she did.
It is good to hear that Maureen is doing useful work within the community. She has a good deal of skill and talent that she is using to use to help people. That is exactly what she should be doing.
To all of those vindictive souls out there, if she was your sister or your cousin, or a close friend, would you be spewing such hateful words? She made a mistake, took ownership of it, paid the penalty, and now life goes on. While what she did cannot be excused, she does deserve forgiveness.
You make a good point about the disgraced Judge Cronin as some want "mercy for me but judgement for thee". However, she was an elected official who took an oath of office, accepted a "bribe" from a party that had business in her court. She knew what she was doing and threw it all away. I have little sympathy for her or any elected official with such ethics. You say she has done her "time", but not completely as she was released with a term of three years probation, which she is trying to have removed. She would best stay on probation for the entire term so that she would not be permitted in the new racino in Austintown. It would be prudent.
Forgiveness perhaps but no forgetting that in a position of public trust she violated that trust for personal gain.
My own experience with the former judge was that on the bench she was pious, vindictive and unforgiving.
She was never above threatening those before her court as witnesses or defendants.
She got what she deserved.
End of story.
As @dmacker points out Cronin was no different than most sitting judges: "pious, vindictive and unforgiving" aka: arrogant. She's just being judged by the others by the standards she set, which the last time I checked is what Jesus Christ said will happen.
I find it interesting that she pointed out a legal strategy & Supreme Court decision where she could have moved to have her verdict vacated, and wants credit because she hasn't done so yet. I won't be surprised if she does sue when her times all up, whether fully serviced or not, and seeks to have it vacated and expunged so she can run for the same position she abused again.

How slowly the wheels of justice turn.

When the airplane's altitude rose, the instructor pilot, "held the flare and added approximately 50-100 rpm to ease the airplane" down to the runway. The airplane then "experienced a sudden descent", and the instructor pilot attempted a go-around; however, the airplane's left wing and nose impacted the runway causing substantial damage to the airplane.
