Team Keeps Center Fielder Crisp and Left-Handed Pitcher Anderson
Teams are wasting no time in giving out options. The Oakland Athletics announced Friday that they would bring back center fielder Coco Crisp and left-handed pitcher Brett Anderson. Doing so they declined options on outfielder Chris Young and catcher Kurt Suzuki.
The team picked up the $7.5 Million option on Coco Crisp. Crisp, 33, was the catalyst of the Athletics offense in 2013. He got on base at a .335 clip while hitting 20 home runs for the first time in his career. This made him a 20/20 player for the first time, as he picked up 21 stolen bases. Crisp is a huge sign for the A's as they try to get better in 2014 and going forward.
Brett Anderson will be returning to Oakland next season as his $8 Million option was exercised on Friday. This move came by surprise as Anderson has been injury prone the past two seasons. He could end up being viable out of the bullpen in 2014. Anderson has only pitched a combined 79 innings the past two seasons and hasn't been as sharp. It will be key to see where the A's put him going forward.
The club has decided to decline the $8.5 Million option of catcher Kurt Suzuki. This was no surprise as the A's have two great catchers already on the roster. Suzuki only played in 15 games as an Athletic last season. He will find a team and be a great piece but he doesn't fit in with what the A's are trying to do going forward.
Outfielder Chris Young hasn't been what was expected in his time in Oakland. His $11.5 Million option was declined by the Oakland front office. He played in 107 games as an Athletic only hitting .200. He could never get into a rhythm as a role player in the Oakland outfield. He showed good power at times but the amount of strikeouts were really a problem.

Re: Welcome to School Age Kids
As the custodial grandparent of a six year old boy and as a retired teacher, if you feel your child is not being challenged in math do a little extra work on your own. Being ahead of the class never hurts. If the child feels it is too easy they will stop attempting to do their best and will just do what is required to get by. I find myself sometimes silently agreeing with my grandson, "If I can do it right after 2 or 3 problems, why do a page full?" Sometimes I feel teachers attempt to teach on the level of their lowest achiever, not challenge their best!

Dr. Brené Brown started her research on vulnerability, worthiness and shame six months before September 11, 2001, and says our culture has been marked by deep fear since then. That fear, she says, has now shifted from external events to the fear that we as individuals are simply not enough. Watch to find out why, Dr. Brown says, those two words lead us to shut down emotionally and spiritually.

Scattering and Dynamics of Polymers
Seeking Order in Disordered Systems

moreScattering is a very powerful tool to study the structure of polymers. Written by highly regarded and respected scientists in the field, this book presents the latest developments in the field of scattering in a uniform, systematic manner. This volume arms readers with both theoretical and experimental aspects of the intended area, offering much simplified theoretical explanations on the physics of scattering. The authors provide discussion on applications of experimental techniques.
Han and Akcasu begin with a traditional treatment of light scattering from plane waves, followed by consistent application of density (in both real and Fourier space) correlation functions in both space and time. The authors do not distinguish among light, X-ray, and neutron, excepting their scattering length, q-range, coherence and detection differences. Readers can therefore concentrate on exactly the scattering tools they need to use, while theoretical explanation on the physics of scattering can be made much more simplified and uniform.

The piston mounted to the end of the shaft also contains a valve mechanism that allows the fluid to flow through slots that are designed into the piston. The valves consist of discs that open as the internal oil pressure increases due to shaft movement in either compression or rebound. The discs are arranged in different sizes and thicknesses to control the dampening rate associated with higher shaft speeds.
So, we need to create a space inside the shock and fill it with a substance that will compress. Gases such as air and nitrogen will compress. Every shock needs to have a certain volume of gas along with the fluid, in order to allow for the displacement of the fluid as the shaft moves into the shock body and takes up space.
The gas should not be air or any gas that could contain moisture. Due to the heat generated by shock/fluid movement, the moisture would expand and cause high pressure buildup inside the shock. Nitrogen is a dry gas that suits our purpose and is widely used in racing shocks.
In truth, as the shock shaft is pushed into the shock body, some amount of pressurization must take place due to the displacement of the shaft and resulting reduced volume of gas inside the shock body. The gas bag must contract which creates a small amount of pressure.
In the front suspension, there is always an installation ratio—a shock angle that affects the relationship between the speed of the wheel movement and the speed of the shock shaft. The farther the shock is mounted from the ball joint and the greater the shock angle from 90 degrees off the control arm that it is mounted to, the slower the shaft will move in relation to the wheel movement, and the less control it will have over that movement.
If the speed of the shaft movement determines the amount of shock resistance, then the slower the shock moves, the less rate of resistance it will have. Therefore, if I mount the same rated shock at 2 inches from the ball joint verses mounting it at 6 inches from the ball joint I will have greater shaft speed and more resistance with the first mount with equal wheel speed movement. It makes sense that I would need a stiffer shock when mounting it at 6 inches than I would need if mounting it at 2 inches to have the same wheel speed control.
The other design uses a digressive piston design (photo 10) and has a lower flow rate at low shaft speeds than the linear piston and provides more resistance and control. The resistance rate increases with increased shaft speeds to a pre-designed level and then tapers off.
As the shaft speed continues to increase, the resistance stays mostly uniform above a certain shaft speed. This "pop-off" characteristic works well for reducing the high amounts of resistance usually associated with sharp increases in shaft speeds due to running over bumps and holes in some racetracks. So, the digressive piston design might be better for dirt track applications and rough asphalt tracks.
Because springs naturally resist compression and promote rebound, we necessarily need a shock design with less compression resistance and more rebound resistance to be truly equal in control of each direction of movement. This is a very important principle and has added importance for modern day setups and spring arrangements.
We should never use a true 50/50 rated shock, where the resistance is the same on both rebound and compression, on a race car. Correct thinking would have us install a shock that has more rebound than compression resistance.
When the spring rates are very high, as in the case of a bump stop or bump rubber, the shock must control that higher spring rate. Therefore, high rebound rated shocks are not just incorporated to "tie down" the suspension, but to control suspension movement for the high spring rate of the bump device.
In Shock Part Two, coming next month, we will get a little deeper into shock technology and design. We will look at modern day shock graphs, and see how we might improve our performance by using different rate shocks in relation to various types of setups, racetrack designs and track conditions. Now, please go read the Spring article it is on page 36.

In 2015, the Maryland Fire and Rescue Institute will celebrate 85 years of providing fire, rescue and EMS training regionally, nationally and internationally. Our success has been based on the contributions of many individuals and organizations over the years. In order to be proactive, MFRI is preparing the MFRI 2025 Strategic Plan. This planning process will include internal and external evaluations of the Institute and will identify the strategic issues that will become our focus in the coming decade.
One of the initial steps in the strategic planning process is the MFRI 2025 Survey. The questions in the survey concern the entire organization as well as your interaction with the Institute. The questions cover many aspects of the organization and are intended to assess key areas of performance, leadership, customer service and employee satisfaction. Each question should be answered according to your own experience and opinion, and should reflect your perception of present overall conditions. Space is provided at the end of each section for any comments that you may have. These comments will be transcribed and grouped with others according to common themes as part of the survey results analysis. The results of the survey will be summarized and will guide the next step in the strategic planning process. This survey is completely confidential and will take no more than 15 minutes to complete.
Your participation in this survey is very important to the future of MFRI and our programs, so please click on the link above and take a few moments to complete it.

When German writer Goethe penned the original Sorcerer's Apprentice in 1797 - a short poem concerned with a mischievous broomstick - it's unlikely he saw any adaptation featuring a 1935 Rolls Royce Phantom morphing into a Mercedes McClaren SUV.
Yet this - and more - is what you get in director Jon Turteltaub's rollicking adventure, an audacious re-imagining of the original story that gives full rein to the computer programmer's digital alchemy.
The art deco eagle gargoyles that adorn New York's iconic Chrysler Building swoop into life, a paper Chinese street dragon finds terrifying form as a rampaging monster, and Nic Cage has to fight off a giant animated brass bull. (Let's face it, he's appeared in plenty.)
Here he's in luck as Balthazar Blake, a contemporary of Merlin who is seeking to free his true love Veronica (Bellucci) while preventing the evil Morgana re-awaking an evil army of magicians (think Paul Daniels x5) to enslave the world.
Problem is, both formidable fillies are literally spell-bound inside a Russian Doll-style container...and Balthazar has also got to fight off his old love rival and sorcerer-turned-bad Horvath (Molina in his second Manhattan monster role after Doc Ock in Spider-Man 2).
Popping up in modern-day Manhattan, Balthazar enrols the help of nervous physics student Dave Stutler (Baruchel - imagine Shia LeBeouf without the preening conceit) while Horvath turns to punked-out Cockernee celebrity illusionist Drake Stone (Kebbell) as the two race find the, er, doll of destiny.
Director Turteltaub, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and Cage join forces for the first time since the (inferior) National Treasure series to produce an enjoyable slab of 22-carat popcorn; a dizzy ride enlivened by a strong cast and a sharp script.
Disney is no stranger to the story, having incorporated it into the hugely ambitious Fantasia in 1937, and due homage is paid in a miraculous CGI setpiece where an army of animated mops and sponges run amok in Dave's subterranean laboratory.
Cage - resplendent in acres of leather trenchcoat and a bird's nest barnet - has been here a dozen times before but gamely rises to the task while Molina gives the haughty Horvath a nice slice of English malice.
We could have got a few more laughs out of Billy Idol clone Drake, and Dave's romantic sub-plot with Becky Barnes' student pirate DJ is largely redundant. But that's carping.
For the most part everybody wins. Kids will love the splendid spectacle, mums and dads will happily go along for the ride and Nic's accountants will be more than happy.
Wand-erful stuff.
Is this your idea of a magic night out...or does Nicolas Cage fail to cast a spell? Discuss this review on our Facebook page and Twitter stream.

My own experience with bone spur were taking a supplements of magnesium bicarbonate (magnesium carbonate in carbonated water) taken internally or magnesium supplements at 250 mg a day for 5 days out a week for a month, and some boron supplements also helpful.
I think foot soaking in borax solution may work better. Perhaps the reason why the cold water remedy works (my wild guess) is that cold tap water is high in chlorinated water and it makes for absorption of chlorine through the skin better, causing the bone spurs to reduce since chlorine kills off the mycobacterium in the bone spurs through transdermal absorption of chlorinated water compound. Most U.S. waters are chlorinated. A hot water would drive out most of the chlorine and hence less effective.
On the other hand adding a small amount of chlorox as a foot soak might do the same if the chlorinated water are insufficient.
I would much prefer to do a foot soak using a weak solution of Bo Peep (ammonia cleaning solution) plus some borax as a foot soak since both the ammonia and borax are some of the most strongest antifungal or anti-mycobacterium necessary to cause the mycobacterium to be killed or reduce.

01/16/2012[YEA] A few days ago a friend of mine recommended that I used apple cider vinegar and turmeric for my possible heel spurs. I was so desperate because the pain was getting worse and worse and I was taking more and more Advil with no relief. She read me some of the comments on your site and said I would try it. I found the turmeric for inflammation but couldn't find the organic ACV until the next day (that was saturday 1/14)
Today it is the 16th and I have only been using it for 2 days. This morning I got out of bed expecting the same pain and inablility to walk as before and much to my surprise I got out of bed and walked with barely a twinge. I could not believe it. I am so amazed that this works but I am going to be using it for other ailments as well since the results with jsut a couple of days treatment have been astounding. I am still using it to get full relief which I expect now by the end of this week. Thank you so much for such a wonderful site. I will be coming back here seeking advice as much as I can. Thank you again.Posted by Patti B

12/10/2012A month and a half ago, I was in a car accident. A lady run the red light, where I was going through the green light. I went to the doctor and she told me that I had heel spur. I have never felt pain I this before. My doctor told me that there are only three ways that heel spur could be treated is: one, injection two, ultrasound and three, laser. I found this site just by God's guidance. I heard that I could use apple cider vinegar or MSM. What is MSM? Where can I buy borax and how much should I use? Thanks, Sue

PLANTAR FASCIITIS (heel spurs).
This is a painful condition where bone growth (spurs) occur in the heel and can be very painful. But it can also occur in the sole area also. As for me these growths are more related to a long term problem in the past caused by toe nail fungus as it enters deep into the bone, where its growth inside the bone causes the growth of spurs. Bacterium and various pathogens are found in those areas and such surgical procedures to the area will create a new spur growth in the same area as they are living organisms and grow anaerobically.
The best remedy for heel spurs is 2000 mg of MSM taken hourly for 6 hours for about two weeks. Then you should experience major reduction in pain, roughly 50 to 80%. The MSM works similarly to H2O2 therapy, only that MSM goes much deeper in oxygenation killing off these anaerobic pathogens that grows inside the bone. Hence, because of its ability to go deep into the cells giving more oxygen, especially the bone, MSM is helpful against arthritic pain, bone spurs, bone growth, which causes pain, especially around the joint area. It won't significantly normalize bone growth and you need other supplements along with this, including magnesium (preferably magnesium chloride, or trimagnesium citrate, being my favorite) and some vitamin D, preferably 5000 mg, and perhaps some fish collagen, after the pain has been reduce of course, by killing off the organism that causes bone spurs. Large doses of B1 thiamine, in particular thiamine mononitrate. It's the mononitrate portion that has some antifungal properties against this that also kills the bone spur, but the dose required maybe fairly large, such as 1000-2000 mg a couple of times a day. The healing is seen after they are dead, after supplementing for about a month, through the use of vitamin D 5000 i.u., every other day, plus collagen supplements, preferably fish collagen, but in Thailand we have a delicacy, ox's tail soup, which is also rich in collagen, but pig's feet is also high in collagen also. Other collagen promoting supplements, which holds the bone matrix in place includes, proline, glycine, and lysine is seen as helpful and raising the immune system, to fight off existing pathogen is supportive, such as threonine. Most amino acid supplements such as lysine, proline, glycine, threonine for immune system dose is between 500 mg to 2000 mg. The preferred dose being 1000 mg, a couple of times a day, preferably three times a day. These help healing. Most pain is seen to reduce using MSM, but DMSO is possible also, but the dose taken for DMSO is much more limited then MSM, and hence MSM is preferably use. Notwithstanding it's ability to oxygenate deeply into the bone is seen as helpful against bone cancer, due to their anaerobic fermentative properties and may reduce that should the bone growth be of cancer causing and will turn them from malignant to benign one at that.Posted by Juanita

09/19/2010Hi Ted, I read your suggestions for Heel Spurs. I've had one for over 2 years now with no relief in sight. Your suggestions mentions MSM, can you tell me what that is? My thirteen year old son is now complaining of pain on his left heel and I would love to be able to find a solution for both of us. I would appreciate any info you can provide. Thank you.

11/16/2010Regarding taking MSM 2000mg every hour for six hours - so take 12,000mg a day? Can someone take too much? After doing this for two weeks, then begin the other supplements you mention or take them while taking the MSM?

900 PostsLiz, I am reading a book on MSM at the moment. Funny enough they only talk about MSM as if there is only one strength. I was hoping it would help me with my awful allergies as nothing else does but I have read the side effects people here had and also my husband who is a chemist says I should never take it as it is an oxidant. I don't know.... As far as the information in the book it seems to be great for quite a few ailments...... But I have to confess that I am afraid to try!Posted by Lee

8 PostsHi Ladies, I love this website and have integrated many ideas into my health routine over the past 2 years. I'm also not particularly brave about trying things (I have yet to use the food grade h202, although I'd like to). But I have been using MSM for the past 3 months. Mine is 2.6 g. Per 1/2 teaspoon. I make a drink out of 1/2 teaspoon MSM, juice of 1/4 lemon, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, mixed into 8 oz organic veggie juice. I swallow the rest of my vitamins with this drink (which include HA) and I have not had any negative side effects. I do a tremendous amount of walking and would like to be able to continue to do so in my old age. I was beginning to have some aches in my feet and knees, and it seems as though this mixture, plus the HA have cured me. I also have springtime alergies, and am hopeful that the MSM might help with them. I'll keep you posted, but for me, MSM is a winner. Best of luck. LeePosted by Martibee

11/17/2010Msm doesn't necessarily do anything for allergies, but local bee pollen works very well. Try it. You need to start with one teaspoon a day and gradually increase amount till you reach the level that works for you. I used it about 10 years ago when I lived in an area of U.S. Where there was a high mold count and heavy air polution. I had to take 4 Tablespoons Bee Pollen daily and I didn't need any medications. But you do need to work up to the level you need, gradually. MSM is a biological form of sulphur. Every body needs sulphur. It's vital for our bodies.Posted by Francisca

900 PostsWell, as far as I know there aren't any local pollens here being sold in the shops. I have seen pollens and even taken them but they are surely not from here. Another problem is that so far my allergies were never connected to one season or to pollens. I know that our bodies contain sulfur but they contain MSG as well and still this is not something we should be taking. I am finishing reading my book on MSM, I have to say that it sounds good. The book is written by two doctors with a lot of experience of treating patients with MSM for many years still, my husband, a chemist says I shouldn't take it as it is an oxidant and could cause cancer, I have read the side effect of members of this site..... I don't know what to do. At the moment my allergies are bad and nothing I do seems to change that. They say that it really helps against allergies.Posted by Bess

11/18/2010Hi Francisca - For allergies, I take about 1,000 mg quercetin (plus bromelain - an enzyme, which seems to help quercetin do its job). I also take 1,000 mg of MSM (powdered form) and mix it with about 3 ounces of water, then add 500 mg of Vitamin C (powdered form). Hope this works for you! Cheers, BessPosted by Coregon

28 Posts[YEA] Regarding MSM and allergies, I have faithfully taken this one supplement daily without fail for over 20 years. I used to have pollen allergies so bad that I would stay inside and look out the window on beautiful days in the summer. If I went outside for any amount of time my eyes would swell and itch and my lungs would immediately congest. As a desperate last resort I'd get steroid injections monthly for allergies (was I crazy??)
I live in an area where pollen counts are very high and many allergy sufferers around me, but I haven't had a single allergy episode since about a month after I started MSM supplements. I take 3,000 mg a day, sometimes more. It also helps my joints, my hair, my nails, my skin (am told I look years younger than my age). MSM is what normally comes down in rainwater.. That is the rain water that we USED to have before acid rain. It used to be in our our fruits and vegetables naturally when rain was healthy. I would think it would almost be impossible to overdose on this natural healthy supplement. It also helps you absorb the rest of your vitamins and neutralizes a lot of the bad effects of any medications you are on. Great stuff!
Oh one other thing, all my life I have been severely allergic to cats. I have no problem with cats at all now with MSM supplements! I can hold them and pet them, no reaction. When I first started MSM, I spoke personally to Rich (of Rich's MSM.. Now sold under another name). Very knowledgeable and kind man who was severely burned in an accident.. MSM changed his life by healing old burn scars (used in lotion). Would be well worth getting a book on MSM, the benefits are too great to list here. Although I started using Rich's MSM, I now use whatever brand is on sale, they all seem to work great.Posted by Francisca

900 PostsDear Coregon, nice to hear your testimony about how MSM helped your allergies. After reading a book on MSM I am thinking of buying it when I go to Britain to spend Christmas (we live next to Switzerland but there they are not allowed to sell it and here in France it is very expensive). When the book section is ready I will post my review on that book and I have just ordered a new one so I will post both reviews soon.Posted by Michael

01/28/2011Hi Ted... I've been taking 2000mg of MSM for approx 3 weeks now and my pain has been reduced significantly. On a scale of 1-10 my pain before being a 10 it is now a 3 at worst. I do take other vitamins... B6, B12, Natural Calcium with D, C, and Fish Oil. Also take 4 Ibuprofin as well. I am so thankful for the pain reduction. It is such a painful problem and I was very frustrated with the pain. Thanks for the insight and wisdom.Posted by Lou

5 PostsJust like to reiterate, every body is different but in my case MSM (1 tsp. ) with Vit C (1/2 tsp. ) with a little water taken 2-3 times a day cured my allergies. I even stopped taking it for a year and when I started to feel my allergies acting up I started up again and they didn't come back. I love this stuff, it is cheaper and more portable than Bee Pollen which has to be refrigerated. I get it at the feed store which is twice the amount for half the price of what they sell at the health food stores.Posted by Cindy

4 PostsI have been following these recommendations for Plantar Faciitis for months now. I even do EFT, which is the only thing that will "kind of" help me. I have had this condition since January 2012. I have tried the soaks, the wraps, the MSM the vitamins, Calcium, oils massaged into the heel, the excercises, hot/cold, etc. Etc. I have gotten no relief. I have kidney problems so I cannot take anti-inflamatory drugs or pain med or Cortizone shots. Anything else anyone can think of that I can try? I have now hurt my wrist catching myself from falling one day when I was standing up at a theatre and my left foot had fallen asleep and I didn't realize how much so when I stood, or tried to stand, my body sort of just fell over since my "good" foot didn't work. I caught myself from falling and now my wrist is swollen and painful for the last 6 weeks. That wont heal either. So I am looking at some sort of underlying inflammation that I should address instead of the actual spots??Posted by J

07/31/2012Cindy, is it possible you have other issues you are not aware of such as with your stomach? Some people who are gluten intolerant don't have symptoms (gluten intolerance and celiac are not the same but can have the same symptoms when present. Check out celiac. Com) Those of us who are gluten intolerant or celiac have trouble with using supplements because of the damage done to our insides. When we are off of gluten and give ourselves time to heal, supplements work better. Also, try suppliments that are not in pill or capsule form.Posted by Marcia

2 PostsMSM for Heel Spur Pain: I started taking 2000 mg of MSM every hour for 6 hours on Tues. Aug. 28. Today is day 6 and my heel pain is significantly reduced - down to about 30% from 100% pain since April of this year. I am also soaking in borax and water, but I am using warm/hot water, not cold. I will try cold water next. I also do the stretching exercises twice a day. Thanks for this tip because nothing else was working. My podiatrist would not give me a cortisone shot for fear of side effects, such as diabetes, because of the dosage he normally gives. I was told to lose weight, which I know I need to do, but I am not convinced that this is the reason for my heel spur entirely as he suggested.Posted by Jennifer

04/20/2014Was just skimming the interwebs and had to comment though I hadn't intended to that your doctor sounds like an a-hole. Go to another one. My mother was an overweight waitress into her 60s who carried 50-lb trays all day and her doc didn't hesitate to give her shots. She probably would have collapsed otherwise. Sometimes treatments carry risks but he'd rather let you suffer with the gem of wisdom to lose weight - as if this is an ideal solution for damage already done.
Anyone required to stand for several hours on a regular basis is subjecting their body to stress it wasn't designed for, as was my case. I couldn't afford orthotics right away and the spur developed within a couple short months of a rough job. My feet are flat with overpronation also. I started with epsom salt baths. Btw warm-not hot water is needed for absorption. Then Morton epsom salt lotion. I had awesome relief for a while with both of those. Another oil you can use is eucalypus, directly or in the bath. I just happened to have some lying around that I bought with an indoor fountain. Right now I have a Salonpas patch on and it's working great. Cheap for a 40 pack. The delivery system is supposed to last for hours but I can't vouch for that..yet.Posted by Brook (Ny, Ny) on 09/25/2009
My husband has a large bone spur on top of his foot and runs to the side of his foot. He acquired this through a trauma to his foot, years ago. He has started soaking his foot in Borax and a bit of chlorox. How long will it take the bone spur to go away? Also, when he soaks, he notices his bone spurs hurts. Is this a good sign?
Please let me know.

[YEA] work as a medical professional and see this problem on a daily basis. not only have i seen this problem, i also was one to have a bad heel spur in my heel. Ultrasound treatments along with correct alignmengt of the hips and back can cure this problem. Ultrasound is commonly used in the sports medicine field to help increase blood flow to areas of pain and where problems persist (note that this type of ultrasound treatment is not the same ultrasound as used on pregnant women). The ultrasound will help soften the calcium of the heel spur and help the body reabsorb it. Treatments should be continuous 5-7minutes per time with a intesity of .5. Athletic Trainers, Physical Therapist and Chiropractors have access to this type of treatment. Also i have found that correct laignment of the hips and back can lead to severe heel pain which can result in heel spurs. If the hips and back are out of line then too much pressure can be put on one heel as opposed to the other. This mis-alignment can cause poor biomechanics and cause severe heel pain. A chiropractor can help assess and see if this can be the problem and help correct it.
Wrapping Foot With Duct Tape 1 0
Approval Ratings YEA (1) 100% Posted by Leta (Bolton, NC) on 01/30/2009
[YEA] I have been suffering from pain in my heels for about two years. Since that time I had a child and gained weight and it really became unbearable. I figured it was heel spurs because my mama always suffered from them. I went with my daughter Christmas shopping right before Christmas and was unable to stand up for very long after a few hours of shopping. I had to continously sit down and I knew it was time to get help. I had previously purchased inserts for my shoes over the internet over a year ago and it helped but they had wore down and I didn't use them this day.
The next business day I scheduled an appt. with the foot doctor only to find out what I already knew BUT it wasn't the bone spur causing the pain. The muscle under the foot becomes weak over the years and with the added weight it would become inflamed. The doctor told me he would wrap my feet with tape and I thought, "he must be crazy", tape is not going to help my pain. I figured I would have to have shots in my heels like my mama did years ago. After he wrapped them, it felt strange and it was really tight. It was uncomfortable at first and he told me to wear them for 5-7 days without getting them wet. Again, I thought, "he must be crazy". I put my shoes on, left and that evening noticed I had less pain. The next day, even more less pain. Well, by the fourth day, I had little to no pain BUT they were beginning to smell because you weren't suppose to get them wet, and of course, I did when I washed. (I tried wrapping my feet in plastic, didn't work). So I took the tape off and thought, well, now what. I had went to Texas with my husband and wouldn't be back to NC for three weeks so I knew I had to do something. I first tried wrapping my feet with sports tape but just about cut my circulation off so I got on the old faithful internet and came across Duct Tape. Yes, duct tape. I wrapped my feet around the arch, snug but NOT tight. I wrapped it from one side of my foot, around the ankel to the other side. It worked a MIRACLE! NO pain all day long.
I went back to the doctor after I got back to NC and told him what I done. He was suprised the duct tape didn't tear my skin but I told him I used the generic kind at a dollar store and it worked wonderful. I would then get in the shower and let the water loosen it up and take it right off. Please keep in mind, I use the exercises they tell you to do to help alleviate the stress on the muscle and my feet are doing much much better. I still have to wear the tape and do the exercises and DON'T go barefooted and my feet aren't hurting like they were. I can go all day long and at the end of the day, they feel fine. Also, he had prescribed me pain medicine which I did not take after two days of using the tape. Hope this helps. leta

Morning Brew – Tuesday, March 8: Ashley Fink wants in on Brittana action, Meredith Baxter on the gayest ep of "The Talk" yet
Happy International Women's Day! Celebrate yourself today, girl. I am! (Celebrating you, that is.)
The Guardian has made a list of the Top 100 Women and some of the gay ladies on it include Carol Ann Duffy, Judith Butler, Alice Walker and Lady Gaga.
Corrie star Shobna Gulati told The Daily Mirror she predicted Heather Peace's role in Lip Service. The paper writes:
She predicted Heather would have to choose a mainstream TV role or one in a new show – and the next week she got offered parts in Corrie and lesbian drama Lip Service. She also said Heather would travel the country "n a stage" and then she was offered a UK tour.
Either she really knows her stuff, or she just read Heather's CV. The actresses worked together in the theater production, Crazy Lady.
Elektra Luxx premiered in LA last night and the women of the very lesbianish film all looked gorgeous. From L to R: Emmanuelle Chriqui, Carla Gugino, Marley Shelton, Adrianne Palicki and Malin Akerman.
Emmanuelle chatted with us about her hot scenes with Adrianne in the film, which opens this Friday. We'll have that interview for you later this week!
Lesbian favorite (and straightish but not narrow) actress Mo Gaffney has joined the cast of a new ABC pilot, My Freakin' Family. She'll play the mom of Anna, a young mother herself part of a couple "whose lives change after they have a baby and the four grandparents with very different cultural backgrounds descend upon their lives." Mo is one of those grandparents.
Lady Gaga hasn't planned any collaborations in the near future because she doesn't feel like she can top "Telephone" with Beyonce. Probably true, but I wouldn't mind her trying.
Glee star Ashley Fink told WetPaint she'd be interested in dating another girl on the show. "Maybe she can get in on some of the Santana-Brittany lovin'," she said of her character.
OK the shippers don't want any interference into Brittana, I'm sure, but Lauren can have a gf of her own, too. I don't see her with any of the existing girls on the show, though, so I think they'd have to cast a new lesbian. I'm down with that! Otherwise, this could happen over Brittany.
Baroness Oona King is the diversity executive at Channel 4 in the UK and she said something that I hoped the other execs in the room listened to: "Lesbians really aren't portrayed very often and certainly not to reflect the population at large." She was in conversation with Helen Sandler as part of GFEST – Gaywise FESTival, London's LGB & T and had been asked about the proposal for a new LGBT talk show. Need. More. Lesbians.
Yesterday's episode of The Talk was their gayest yet, and not only because Meredith Baxter was a guest. While in a discussion about the host's hanging out with their families together over the weekend, Sara Gilbert described having a conversation about her wife and kids with Leah Remini's daughter, Sofia. You can watch the whole episode and catch that convo at about eight minutes in. Below, Meredith talks with the hosts about her book, her sexuality and her partner, Nancy.
Today in Lesbianish TV: The Ellen DeGeneres Show (check local listings), The Talk (CBS 2 p.m.), Bath Crashers (DIY 6 p.m.), Cat Cora vs. Elizabeth Falkner on Iron Chef America (Food Network 7 p.m.), House Hunters (HGTV 8 p.m.), Glee (Fox 8 p.m.), The Biggest Loser: Couples (NBC 8 p.m.), The Rachel Maddow Show (MSNBC 9 p.m., midnight, 4 a.m.), Our America With Lisa Ling (OWN 10 p.m.), One Born Every Minute (Lifetime 10 p.m.), Margaret Cho on HBO Comedy Half Hour (HBO Comedy Wed 3:10 a.m.) and What I Like About You (TeenNick Wed 4:30 a.m.) (Thanks Roni!)

Running back Chris Ivory became the Saints leading rusher in 2010 after a rash of injuries to starters Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush. It was a surprise to most that Ivory, undrafted out of Tiffin University, ran with such devastating authority against NFL defenses.
Unfortuantly his physical running style landed him on injuryed reserve ending his rookie campaing prematurely. In the offeseason he undernwert a Lisfranc procedure to repair the damaged tendons in his foot — expectations were high coming into his sophomore year.
Ivory never healed enough to see the practice field in training camp, and he also suffered a sports hernia injury, which required surgery. The Saints were left with no choice but to place him in the PUP list to start the 2011 season.
Six weeks have passed and he is now ready to re-join the team. Ivory is anxious to get back to practice and back to contributing come game day, but surprisingly the Saints have remained quiet on whether they are going to activate him or not.
About a month ago head coach Sean Payton commented on Ivory's health, saying he was ready to play and in terrific shape.
Currently the Saints are splitting the rushing responsibility between rookie Mark Ingram, Pierre Thomas, and Darren Sproles. So far through six games it's Ingram that is getting the "lion's share" of the carries, but is only managing 3.4 yards per carry on 71 attempts.
Largely New Orleans run game has been ineffective thus far ranking 18th overall in the league, averaging just under 108 yards per game, and more often then not quarterback Drew Brees is called on to pick up the yardage.
Brees is averaging over 40 attemtps a game this season, and not suprisingly has already thrown eight interceptions which would put him on pace for a new career high of 24 or more interceptions.
The Saints have to find a way to regain offensive balance — much like in their 2009 Super Bowl winning season — and Ivory could be just the spark the running game needs to reach an elite level once again.

From Planted Seeds Production, a new documentary about the gender bending performance troupe, All the Kings Men, called Play in the Gray.
I saw them perform when I was in Provincetown earlier this summer, and I was blown away. The group is funny, talented, and really has the art of gender play in performance down. I've seen a lot of drag, but this group takes it to a whole other level.

Obit of the Day: The Colleen Named Pat
Patricia "Pat" Brown was quite the athlete growing up in Winthrop, Massachusetts. She was a three-sport star in field hockey, basketball and tennis. But it was on the diamond that she would earn lasting fame as a member of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Ms. Brown played two seasons with the AAGPBL as a member of the Battle Creek (MI) Belles and the Chicago Colleens. A dual threat, Ms. Brown went 9-9 as a pitcher in 1950 and also hit .298 with 6 RBI, a stolen base, and a triple in 57 at bats. Following the 1951 season, Ms. Brown joined other members of the AAGPBL on a national tour promoting the women's game.
After her baseball career ended, Ms. Brown headed to campus. Between 1955 and 1977 she would earn her B.A., law degree, and M.B.A. from Suffolk (MA) University as well as a Master's in Theology from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. She was not only a student at Suffolk but also a law librarian and a professor. Always the athlete, she started the university's first women's basketball team and physical education program for women.
Ms. Brown passed away at the age of 81.

Here are some other members of that "league of their own" that have found themselves on the pages of Obit of the Day:
Note: Ms. Brown and other members of the AAGPBL are sometimes listed as "Baseball Hall of Famers." Although there is an excellent exhibit on the history of women in baseball at the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY, they are not technically hall of famers. Hall of Fame members are those baseball players voted in by the Base Ball Writers Association of American and the Veterans' Committee. As a matter of fact, there is only one woman who is a member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame: Negro League owner Effa Manley.

Corey Brewer
Timberwolves Announce Summer Caravan Schedule
The Minnesota Timberwolves announced Monday their plans for the annual caravan that will hit various parts of the state. The Timberwolves Caravan will hit the road on Wednesday, Aug. 6, and start at Owatonna High School.
Brewer's 51 Lifts Wolves Over Rockets 112-110
Corey Brewer scored a career-high 51 points and Gorgui Dieng hit a short jumper with 4.6 seconds to play to lift the short-handed Minnesota Timberwolves to a 112-110 victory over the Houston Rockets on Friday night.
Wolves Cruise Past Spurs, 110-91
Ricky Rubio scored 23 points and Gorgui Dieng had 12 points and 15 rebounds, leading the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 110-91 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night.
Afflalo Helps Rally Magic Past Timberwolves 100-92
Arron Afflalo scored 18 points and Tobias Harris and Maurice Harkless added 17 apiece to lead the Orlando Magic to a 100-92 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Rookie Victor Oladipo contributed 16 points and six assists to help Orlando snap a three-game losing streak. Kyle O'Quinn had 14 points and 13 rebounds.
Wolves Win Wild Double-OT Affair In Miami, 122-121
Corey Brewer hit one of two free throws with 1.8 seconds left in the second overtime, and the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Miami Heat 122-121 on Friday night.
Dieng Leads Timberwolves Over Hawks
Gorgui Dieng had 15 points and 15 rebounds to continue his out-of-nowhere emergence and the Minnesota Timberwolves dealt the slumping Atlanta Hawks another costly loss with a 107-83 victory. Corey Brewer and Kevin Martin each scored 18 points and Kevin Love had 14 points and 12 rebounds for the Timberwolves. Minnesota scored 32 points off 26 Hawks turnovers and blew the game open in the second half.
Timberwolves Brewer, Rubio Take Photos With Fans At Twin Cities Auto Show
Some Minnesota Timberwolves players were in attendance at the first day of the 41st annual Twin Cities Auto Show. Corey Brewer and Ricky Rubio were there Saturday evening taking photos with fans.
Timberwolves Need Their Groove Back, And Fast
The Minnesota Timberwolves would probably have to go 20 and 10, or maybe even 22 and 8 for the rest of the way to make the playoffs. The task is again becoming daunting, and forward Corey Brewer is painfully aware. "We need a win before All-Star break. We got a lot of injuries, man," Brewer said. "It's tough when you have injuries." They are indeed a team riddled with current injuries, and frustrated by another sub-par season. Healthy or not, the Wolves cannot get stops on defense.
Aldridge Leads Blazers Past 'Wolves 117-110
LaMarcus Aldridge scored 16 of his 26 points in the second half and Wesley Matthews added 21 to help the Portland Trail Blazers hold off the injury-depleted Minnesota Timberwolves 117-110 Saturday night. Aldridge had six points during Portland's game-deciding 13-1 run in the fourth quarter. Corey Brewer led Minnesota with 26 points and Ricky Rubio scored a career-high 25 for the Wolves, who were without All-Star Kevin Love, Nikola Pekovic and Kevin Martin.
Love Out Against Thunder Because Of Stiff Neck
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Love isn't playing against the Oklahoma City Thunder because of a stiff neck. The Timberwolves say Love hurt his neck in a hard fall during the fourth quarter of Minnesota's win Tuesday over the Los Angeles Lakers. Minnesota coach Rick Adelman said Love had treatment before Wednesday's game in an attempt to play. He was in the starting lineup given to media before the team announced he would be out.
Love Leads Timberwolves To 112-97 Win Over Jazz
Kevin Love had 19 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists to help the Minnesota Timberwolves run past Utah 112-97 on Tuesday night and sweep a home-and-home set with the Jazz.
Timberwolves' Brewer Fined $5,000 For Flopping
Minnesota Timberwolves small forward Corey Brewer has been fined $5,000 by the NBA for violating the league's anti-flopping rules for the second time this season. The punishment was levied on Monday.
Brooks Leads Rockets Over Timberwolves, 112-101
Aaron Brooks scored a season-high 26 points to pick up the slack for the injured James Harden, and the Houston Rockets beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 112-101 on Saturday night. The Rockets led throughout, and Omri Casspi, Jeremy Lin and Brooks made consecutive 3-pointers in a 9-0 run to start the fourth quarter and extend the lead to 91-74. Harden, who leads the Rockets with 24.2 points per game, sat out with a sore left foot. Lin started in his place and scored 19, but it was Brooks who shined.
Love, Timberwolves Rip Cavs 124-95
Kevin Love had 33 points, eight rebounds and six assists, Ricky Rubio added 16 points and a career-high 16 assists, and the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 124-95 on Wednesday night.
Love Is Western Conference Player Of The Week
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Love is the NBA's Western Conference player of the week for the opening week of the season. Love leads the NBA with 29.7 points per game and is second with 14.7 rebounds per game. He powered the Wolves to three victories last week for their first 3-0 start since 2001. His off-balance, one-handed bank shot at Madison Square Garden on Monday night helped the Wolves hold off Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks. The league also issued Love a warning for flopping in the game against the Knicks. Love was warned for flopping when Knicks rookie Tim Hardaway Jr. bumped him at the top of the key in the fourth quarter.

Tumblr Thursday picks
via ihopeyourbagiscomfortableasshole
In yet another example of something I wish I had come up with first, this Tumblr features hand-drawn graphs of the cool and not-so-cool simplicities of life. Like falling off the toilet and hitting your head (Did you invent the flux capacitor? Cool. Or did you get a concussion? Uncool.)
Pandas GIFs
Yes, I do feel better now, thanks!
Stalking Guts
Remember how much you seethed with jealousy over the kids who got picked to be contestants on all of those Nickelodeon game shows? This Tumblr tracks those heathens down on Facebook, and the results are both excitingly life-affirming and incredibly depressing.
I Hope Your Bag is Comfortable Asshole
I sincerely hope someone with a giant bag on the CTA is reading this very paragraph right now and experiences a "Come to Jesus" revelation—to stop acting like an asshole in public.
*Thanks, Ernest!

Justice Scalia, writing for five justices, rejected that approach. 'It is hard to imagine a statutory term less ambiguous than the precise numerical thresholds at which the act requires,' he wrote.
Endorsing the agency's approach, he added, 'would deal a severe blow to the Constitution's separation of powers.'
"The Heritage Foundation estimates a loss of over 500,000 jobs, a decline in average family income by $1,000 and a 20 percent increase in energy costs," writes Simpson. "The EPA acknowledged that electricity rates will rise, but if we can hold out until 2030, they assure us that prices will fall after that. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce claimed compliance costs for the new rule could exceed $50 billion per year."
As for NRDC, it "sides with EPA, claiming a maximum cost of $14.6 billion by 2020 with offsetting benefits between $37 and $60 billion," writes Simpson.

In the view of The New York Times, this amounts to a "big win" for environmentalists, by which they mean the left. But it looks to us like bad policy for America, as well as bad journalism by the Times.

Vivid Entertainment is not going to sell Kim Kardashian's sex tape, at least for now. The porn industry's head told TMZ that the offers were great but for the sake of appeal, they would hold on to it to find the buyer they favor.
"We were offered $20 million for the Kim tape but have decided that we are going to hang on to it ... for now," Hirsch said, adding "Although the offer that we ultimately received was substantial, when I realized that it wasn't Kim it became less appealing. Kim is a superstar and if it were to be sold, it should be to her."
Previously, it was thought that either Kim or her new husband Kris Humphries was the mystery buyer. "It made sense the entire time it would be Kim, but it appears it's not," Hirsch said earlier this month. Vivid is also asking $30 million for the tape.

I wanted so badly to love True Believers. I've liked Kurt Andersen since the old Spy days, and I adored Heyday, so my expectations were high. I guess True Believers is a near miss. It has an intriguing premise, but the main characters were weak and I felt the entire narrative was grasping at straws to prove that Boomers are still worthy of our interest and continue to make revolutionary contributions even as they reach their Medicare years. It's cool to know what LARPing is or to have innovative positions on creating peace in the Middle–East, but the fault in this saga is that staying relevant isn't heading out on a bus to protest a G20 summit with your granddaughter, it's owning one's beliefs and staying true to deep convictions, even as they evolve over a lifetime—being a true believer, not a role-player.
Karen Hollander acts as the central catalyst in True Believers and is, for me, the essential reason that the story just doesn't hang together. Karen is writing her memoirs—she tells of growing up in Chicago, a child of the Sixties and blossoming anti-war activist; she graduates from Radcliffe and becomes a lawyer, in the early years as a victim's advocate and later as a high-powered corporate attorney. After retiring from practice and becoming a law professor in LA she is offered a nomination to the Supreme Court, which she declines. She declines because of a secret in her past—an event that miraculously was never made public—which Karen is now ready to share.
As young teens, Karen and her best friends, Alex and Chuck are huge fans of Ian Fleming's James Bond novels. Together the begin to act out "missions" in which they role-play characters and plots from the novels. This sets the stage for a dramatic secret mission they will plan together, causing tragic consequences for one of them, but barely inconveniencing the others, who go on to become accomplished, influential and uber-wealthy members of 21st century society.
The story weaves back and forth between the past and the near future of tomorrow. Karen's back story is credible, but the present-day Karen seems a bit too much of a chilled-out entertainer. It just doesn't feel true to me that a woman who is in serious contention for a Supreme Court nomination would be so casual about everything and everyone in her life. Karen's concern that this hidden bombshell is going to explode in her face once she has exposed herself and her accomplices in her memoirs comes across as pretty farcical. She has managed to evade detection for decades, so telling all now just seems self-serving and publicity-seeking, not to mention highly detrimental to the others. I get that Andersen wants Karen to seem idiosyncratic and distinct from your typical middle-aged grandma, but it's overplayed to the point where there is no point.
Strangely, my take-away from the novel was one of affirmation that good breeding and education can provide insulation and protection for those who would plot to do harm to the political system, whether from within it or from without. It's probably not what Andersen intended, but in today's political climate it does feel timely and appropriate. The casualness with which Karen Hollander shrugs off her complicity in an illegal plot, simply because she realized the error of her ways before it was too late becomes an apt metaphor for today's "I was before it, before I was against it" political mindset. That she is able to continue to live her life on her own terms is a testament that terrorists are easy to create and being a true believer is more often a small matter of convenience than a true confidence of conviction.

Mini likes to make a big hullabaloo about the number of ways its cars can be configured, which currently stands at 10 million. While that figure is impressive, the BMW-owned brand is always looking for new and unique design variations, a trend that has seen a number of special-edition Minis pop up over the years boasting unique color and trim items.
For the new, third-generation F56 Mini, the British brand is at it again. Only this time, the cars are designed and chosen by Mini's fans in a new contest. Called "The New Originals," Mini teamed its 10 Final Test Test Drive winners with an illustrator to design their perfect Mini, one of which will become the next special-edition model.
The ten cars are currently being voted on by the brand's fans on the Mini USA website, with the winner set to be announced at the 2014 New York Auto Show in April. A total of 56 examples of the winning entry will then be put on sale, making this one of the most limited of Mini's many limited editions. Voting closes on February 19, so hop over to the page and vote for your favorite.
