From common to complex disorders of the hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder, if you're experiencing debilitating pain or limited function, we can help.
If you've had an injury or fracture, or are experiencing symptoms of a disease or condition such as osteoarthritis or tendinitis in your fingers, hands or upper extremity, you'll find expert, comprehensive care at the Hand and Upper Extremity Center at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
From diagnosis and treatment to surgery and rehabilitation, our orthopedic physicians and clinicians, plastic surgeons, neurologists, anesthesiologists and occupational therapists offer state-of-the-art clinical services, hand therapy and outpatient surgery, all in one convenient location.
At our Hand and Upper Extremity Center, you will see one of our board-certified and fellowship-trained surgeons to begin the diagnostic process. Our diagnostic process includes a thorough history and physical exam, along with diagnostic imaging such as X-ray or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). An MRI provides a detailed, high-resolution image of your bones, joints and surrounding soft tissues, such as tendons, ligaments and muscles. It can show your doctor if you have any damage, deterioration or abnormalities.
Your doctor also may order additional testing, such as a blood test or nerve conduction study with electromyogram (EMG). An EMG uses tiny electrodes to send signals to your muscles and records the response. This test helps your doctor evaluate the health of your muscles and nerve cells.
Conditions We Treat
Arthritic Shoulder and Elbow
If you feel pain and stiffness in your body, have trouble moving around or have swelling in your joints, you might have arthritis.
Arthritis of the shoulder is an uncommon problem. In almost every case, the shoulder has been injured months or years earlier, leading to an abnormal wearing down of the cartilage. Injuries include bony fracture, dislocation or heavy blow to the outer shoulder.
Fortunately, arthritis of the shoulder progresses slowly. Treatment focuses on reduction of inflammation, physical therapy stretching exercises to preserve motion, shoulder muscle strengthening exercises and avoidance of certain activities to prevent further wear and arthritic flare-ups.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway of ligament and bones at the base of your hand. It contains nerve and tendons. Sometimes, thickening from irritated tendons or other swelling narrows the tunnel and causes the nerve to be compressed. Symptoms usually start gradually and include tingling or numbness or a sharp, piercing pain that shoots through the wrist and up your arm. As they worsen, grasping objects can become difficult.
Often, the cause is having a smaller carpal tunnel than other people do. Other causes include performing assembly line work, wrist injury or swelling due to certain diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis. Women are three times more likely to have carpal tunnel syndrome than men.
Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent permanent nerve damage. Your doctor diagnoses carpal tunnel syndrome with a physical exam and special nerve tests. Treatment includes resting your hand, splints, pain and anti-inflammatory medicines and sometimes surgery.

Distal Radial-Ulna
Hand and Upper Extremity Dislocations
Dislocations are joint injuries that force the ends of your bones out of position. You can dislocate your ankles, knees, shoulders, hips, elbows and jaw. You can also dislocate your finger and toe joints. Dislocated joints often are swollen, very painful and visibly out of place. You may not be able to move them.
Treatment depends on which joint you dislocate and the severity of the injury. It might include manipulations to reposition your bones, medicine, a splint or sling and rehabilitation. When properly repositioned, a joint will usually function and move normally again in a few weeks. Once you dislocate a shoulder or kneecap, you are more likely to dislocate it again. Wearing protective gear during sports may help prevent dislocations.
Hand and Upper Extremity Fracture
A fracture is a break, usually in a bone. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it is called an open or compound fracture. Overuse can cause stress fractures, which are very small cracks in the bone.
Symptoms of a fracture are:
- Out-of-place or misshapen limb or joint
- Swelling, bruising or bleeding
- Intense pain
- Numbness and tingling
- Limited mobility or inability to move a limb
You may need to wear a cast or splint to help a fracture heal. Sometimes you need surgery to put in plates, pins or screws to keep the bone in place.

Hand and Upper Extremity Joint Replacement
In finger and wrist bone joint replacement, the abnormal bone and lining structures of the involved joint are removed surgically, and new parts are inserted in their places.
These new parts may be made of special metal or plastic (certain forms of polyethylene) or specific kinds of carbon-coated implants. The new parts allow the joints to move again with little or no pain.
What kind of joints can be replaced?
- Finger joints (the "first" joint, called the PIP joint)
- "Knuckle" joints (called MP joints, where the finger joins the hand)
- Wrist joints
Artificial joints may help:
- Reduce joint pain
- Restore or maintain joint motion
- Improve the look and alignment of the joint(s)
- Improve overall hand function
American Society for Surgery of the Hand
Hand and Upper Extremity Severed Nerves
Pressure or stretching injuries can cause fibers within the nerve to break. This may interfere with the nerve's ability to send or receive signals, without damaging the cover.
When a nerve is cut, both the nerve and the insulation are severed. Sometimes, the fibers inside the nerve break while the insulation remains intact and healthy. If the insulation has not been cut, the end of the fiber farthest from the brain dies. The end that is closest to the brain does not die. After some time, it may begin to heal. New fibers may grow beneath the intact insulating tissue until it reaches a muscle or sensory receptor.
If both the nerve and insulation have been severed and the nerve is not fixed, the growing nerve fibers may form a painful nerve scar, or neuroma.
For surgical treatment, the insulation around both ends of the injured nerve is sewn together. The goal in fixing the nerve is to save the insulating cover so that new fibers can grow and the nerve can work again.
If a wound is dirty or crushed, surgery may be delayed until the skin has healed.
If there is a space between the ends of the nerve, it may be necessary to take a piece of nerve (nerve graft) from a donor part of the body to fix the injured nerve. This may cause permanent loss of feeling in the area where the donor nerve graft was taken.
Once the insulating cover of the nerve is repaired, the nerve generally begins to heal three or four weeks after the injury. Nerves usually grow one inch every month, depending on the patient's age and other factors. With an injury to a nerve in the arm above the fingertips, it may take up to a year before feeling returns to the fingertips. The feeling of pins and needles in the fingertips is common during the recovery process. While this can be uncomfortable, it usually passes and is a sign of recovery.

Hand and Upper Extremity Sports Injuries
The most common sports injuries seen at our Hand and Upper Extremity Center are:
- Dislocations
- Fractures
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Sprains and strains
- Swollen muscles
If you get hurt, stop playing. Continuing to play or exercise can cause more harm. Treatment often begins with the RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation) method to relieve pain, reduce swelling and speed healing. Other possible treatments include pain relievers, keeping the injured area from moving, rehabilitation and sometimes surgery.

Hand Crush Injuries
- Bleeding
- Bruising
- Compartment syndrome (increased pressure in an arm or leg that causes serious muscle, nerve, blood vessel and tissue damage)
- Fracture
- Laceration (open wound)
- Nerve injury
- Secondary infection
- Smashed fingers
- Wounds
Hand Fracture
A fracture is a break, usually in a bone. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it is called an open or compound fracture. Overuse can cause stress fractures, which are very small cracks in the bone.
Symptoms of a fracture are:
- Out-of-place or misshapen limb or joint
- Swelling, bruising or bleeding
- Intense pain
- Numbness and tingling
- Limited mobility or inability to move a limb
You may need to wear a cast or splint to help a fracture heal. Sometimes you need surgery to put in plates, pins or screws to keep the bone in place.
Rotator Cuff Injuries
Problems with the rotator cuff are common. They include tendinitis, bursitis and injuries such as tears.
Rotator cuff tendons can become inflamed from frequent use or aging. Sometimes they are injured from a fall on an outstretched hand. Sports or jobs with repeated overhead motion can also damage the rotator cuff. Aging causes tendons to wear down, which can lead to a tear.
Some tears are not painful, but others can be. Treatment for a torn rotator cuff depends on age, health, how severe the injury is and how long you've had the torn rotator cuff.
Treatment for torn rotator cuff includes:
- Rest
- Heat or cold to the sore area
- Medicines that reduce pain and swelling
- Electrical stimulation of muscles and nerves
- Ultrasound
- Cortisone injection
- Surgery

Shoulder or Elbow Joint Replacement
Tendon Lacerations
A deep cut can affect tendons, muscles, ligaments, nerves, blood vessels or bone.
Tendon surgery repairs damaged or torn tendons. The surgeon makes a cut on the skin over the injured tendon. The damaged or torn ends of the tendon are sewn together.
If the tendon has been severely injured, a tendon graft may be needed. In this case, a piece of tendon from the foot, toe or another part of the body is often used. If needed, tendons are reattached to the surrounding tissue. The surgeon examines the area to see if there any injuries to nerves and blood vessels. When complete, the wound is closed.
If the tendon damage is too severe, the repair and reconstruction may have to be done at different times. The surgeon will perform one operation to repair part of the injury, and then allow the hand to heal for a few weeks. Another surgery will be done later to complete the reconstruction and repair the tendon.
The goal of tendon repair is to bring back normal function of joints or surrounding tissues following a tendon laceration.
Our program extensively researches the best nonoperative treatments for hand and upper extremity injuries. This experience positions us to better differentiate those injuries that do not need surgery and instead can be treated conservatively. We find that many injuries can be treated nonsurgically to relieve symptoms with procedures like activity modification, splinting, anti-inflammatory medication and/or corticosteroid injections.
However, if it is determined that your injury would be best fixed with surgery, know that we utilize the most cutting-edge, minimally invasive surgical techniques, such as microsurgery, reconstructive surgery, joint replacement surgery, labral surgery, instability surgery and rotator cuff surgery.
We fix all fractures of the entire shoulder girdle, perform surgeries on the acromioclavicular joint (such as shoulder separation surgery), perform all types of shoulder replacements (including total and reverse shoulder replacements), perform revision shoulder surgery and perform complex and technically challenging shoulder surgeries for instability such as surgeries requiring bone augmentation or bone grafting techniques.
Additionally, we can provide occupational therapy services that range from injury prevention education to wound care to range-of-motion exercise programs to post-operative care.

ICBA Backs Review of Too-Big-To-Fail Financial Institutions
New Legislation Would Require GAO Report on Market Distortions and Risk by Megabanks
Washington, D.C. (December 19, 2012)–The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) released this statement following the introduction of legislation sponsored by Sens. David Vitter (R-La.) and Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) directing the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to study potential market distortions caused by too-big-to-fail financial institutions. The requested GAO study would focus on financial institutions with more than $500 billion in consolidated assets.
"ICBA is encouraging the Senate to quickly advance legislation requiring the GAO to study the potential market distortions surrounding the nation's largest megabanks. We should all want free-market principles to apply across the financial system and do everything possible to ferret out any market distortions fostered by government involvement and subsidies of the largest megabanks.
"After the financial crisis of 2008, policymakers should seek all available data to address and unwind too-big-to-fail market distortions. It would be shameful for anyone to block legislation designed to provide much-needed insight on how the nation's largest and systemically risky institutions affect our financial system and economy. Directing the GAO to investigate whether these banks are able to raise funds more cheaply than smaller institutions and receive higher credit ratings due to their implicit government support will go a long way toward addressing these market distortions.
"We thank Sens. Vitter and Brown for introducing this important legislation, and we strongly urge senators to support this necessary measure."

howdy from north ga. i have a millermatic250 i bought new & used around the shop on hotrods & farm equip. i started to use it this week & it is acting up.
i had to replace the "sheath" that the solid wire runs thu. wire was kinking
up at times and could not get voltage to regulate. acts like a stick welder does
when the amperage is turned up WAY WAY to high. it will arc but not matter what i try it is so hot i cannot weld with it. i tried adjusting gas flow,wrte speed
and voltage but cannot change the situation. i pulled side off to b sure a mouse or dirt-dobber had not got inside. everything appears to be intact-not wires off or
signs of problems. any help would be appreciated. retired power co mechanic,
used several welders during the years but love my miller. reccomend them to all my buds. thanks BILL

IS gas going through, I think you have a failed gun
I had a similar symptoms a few weeks ago. Turned out someone put a new spool of wire on and they loaded it so it was feeding from the top. After I put the spool on right it fed like a charm. Imagine that.Lincoln Vantage 400

u can hear gas at the nozzle when u pull trigger. wire is rolling off from the bottom. guage flucuates when trigger is pulled so i'm pretty sure it's working.
I have a sneeking suspicion that the gas liner in the gun is busted, and your pulling atmospheric into it, to get the welds that your talking about,

i assume you are talking about where the wire comes out of the gun/ i had a new one installed yesterday. i also thougt my wire might be too contaminated as it
has been in machine long time. roll i started with was "spotty" had little places
that looked like rust. put brand new roll of wire in today but no change. thanks

millermatic 250
i had a new liner put in yesterday. also put new roll of wirein. u can hear gas when u put gun close and pull the trigger. guage flucuates when u pull trigger also
OK, lets get is straight, your wire speed controls the amperage. You replaced the gun liner (not a sheath). The gun is what the 12' cable is. I'm unsure exactly what your doing.
Now the 250 uses a couple of SCRs for a rectifier.
One may be damaged.
I'd suggest you take the machine in for service.

250 problem
sorry my canadian friend but i dont know what u are talking about. my machine has a wire speed adjustment and a voltage adjustment. neither has any effect
on the problem i am having.
OK, the wire has a voltage range, for 035 wire, its anywhere from18 to 22 volts.
Wire speed controls both the wire comming out and the actual amperage.
Now 035 needs 185 amps to weld properly
If you had a volt meter we could easily see what was going on. With the wire drive flipped open so it doesn't feed, and your volt meter probs on the neg and the positive terminals on the machine.
Measure from the lowest setting to the highest setting with your trigger depressed.

Global warming, melting ice snowcaps, smog, destruction of the rainforest: What can you do to help save the world when all you have are some old skate shoes lying around the house?

Willie Nelson & Wynton Marsalis's acclaimed collaboration Two Men with the Blues debuted today at #20 on the Billboard Top 200 chart with first week sales of 21,650, marking a career-high for both of these legendary artists. That ranking is Willie's highest of the Soundscan era, and his highest since 1982 when his album Always on My Mind hit #2 on the charts (Stardust peaked at #30 in 1978).
For Wynton the charting is a career best. Previously, his album Hot House Flowers reached #90 on the Top 200 back in 1984.
Released July 8, 2008, by Blue Note Records, Two Men with the Blues has also been garnering rave reviews from critics across the musical spectrum. The Boston Globe called it "an unmitigated, ear-tickling success," while Billboard remarked that the album's "enviably assured vibe pretty much drips out of the speakers." The duo gave a stunning performance of "Bright Lights Big City" on NBC's The Tonight with Jay Leno on July 10 http://www.nbc.com/The_Tonight_Show_with_Jay_Leno/video/episodes.shtml and NPR's All Things Considered broadcast a fantastic 11-minute interview segment on July 12 http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=92405847&sc=emaf
Jazz at Lincoln Center has also just announced a return engagement to the site where the album was recorded live in January 2007. On February 9, 2009, Willie & Wynton will reunite, this time in JALC's Rose Theater to help celebrate the 70th anniversary of Blue Note Records. Tickets will be available for purchase thru JALC's box office beginning August 13.
For more information please visit http://www.jalc.org
Nice playful interview! That was great! Thanks Luigi!!
Pre-sale for the Willie and Wynton concert on February 9, 2009, is now available for MasterCard cardholders.
Did you see this one? It makes me miss NYC.
But, why do they call Walter, Carlos, Dan, and Ali the "quartet"? It's like Wynton's not part of the band. If your eye sees 5 people and your ear hears 5 instruments, it's a quintet, correct?
Saw Wynton and Willie with J@LC in Hollywood a few weeks ago. I was surprised at how well the music worked between two artists who most would consider totally unrelated. I'd have to say though that I liked the first set with J@LC + Wynton on their own better though - just my personal jazz bias I guess. I really enjoy hearing the band and soloists stretch out too.
I'm glad to hear how well received the recording is, and hope that the two continue with success.
So who is snapping for 4 at the top of "Night Life"?
I love this album. I've given about six of them as gifts. They really do merge the genres with their collaboration. And what a band! Mickey Raphael is so talented, and the rest of Wynton' quintet is so good. Only ten cuts on the album, though—I hope they will release the rest of the shows.
I can't wait for the dvd. I wish I could go hear them play next Feb; I should have jumped on tickets.
[edited to fix bad spelling]
I like the idea that this cross over cd is caputring the fans from country, blues and jazz alike. great collboration. An opening for branding the two idioms.
I'm a first-time poster to this forum. Yesterday, on my blog, as part of my regular music or movie reviews on Monday, I reviewed Two Men and the Blues. Here's an excerpt:
"Two Men and the Blues" is a live recording. It serves the music well because, I think, the perfection of a studio would have lessened the impact and spontaneity of the performance. You get the sense that these seven men are not on a stage at a prestigious concert hall but in the drummer's garage. It's a Saturday night, it's hot, the door's open, the beer getting warm in the ice chest full of melting ice, and these guys are just jammin' for no other reason that they love music.

Let me know what y'all think.

Texas Pulp Writer
Due to overwhelming demand and sold out concert on February 9th, Jazz at Lincoln Center added a second concert on February 10th for Willie Nelson and Wynton Marsalis.
Willie Nelson and Wynton will perform in Rose Theater at 8 p.m. on February 9 and February 10, 2009
Check the tour section for more info about tickets.
I ordered a copy of "Two Men with the Blues" before the release and waited in great anticipation for its arrival in the mail. I was not disappointed! I think it is wonderful that Wynton and Willie made this recording. I grew up on Blues, Jazz, Classical music, Big Band Swing, Funk, Soul and Country music. Country music and Blues music come from similar roots. Jazz and Blues come from similar roots. The project makes absolute sense to me. Different geners of music are kind of like different races of people… there are some that you are more familiar with and some that you aren't…but all kinds have something to say that is worth listening to. I have this cd in my cd player in my car and find something new in it every day. Listen to "My Bucket's Got a Hole In It" if a person can't find a way to enjoy that simple ditty with the great musical parts that are performed, something is just wrong. It's a great performance.

Ogilvy PR in California has two veteran politicos on their roster who provide advice and counsel to Ogilvy clients – and keep a hand in the always interesting world of California politics. Mindy Fletcher was a press advisor to George Bush II and Maggie Linden was a communications consultant to three Democratic California Assembly Speakers and a US Senator. Following are their quick "takes" on what Tuesday's California primary election might mean and a look at what's to come.
The results are now in and they put California right back in the political spotlight. We're never very far from it – with movie stars and initiative wars competing for national attention – but both CNN and NPR are calling California's races for U.S. Senate (Boxer vs. Fiorina) and Governor (Browns vs. Whitman) key battleground races to watch in November.
And as Dan Morain pointed out in Today's Sacramento Bee – registration numbers won't tell the entire story this year in California. Although Republican now can only claim about 31% of registered voters – the increasing numbers of Decline-to-State voters – and the disenchantment of the general electorate to all things that look "political and incumbent" mean that the Democratic registration advantage can not be taken as a solid indication of victory this year.
Carly Fiorina became the darling of the new right during the course of the primary election. While she started out a moderate – she moved into the far-right fringe in the final weeks, was endorsed by Sarah Palin who made nearly one million robo calls on her behalf, and championed the Arizona anti-immigration law. She also took and was proud of taking nearly three-quarters of a million dollars from anti-choice national money – and California has not elected an anti-choice candidate in decades. However, Barbara Boxer has been an unwavering liberal and has never really faced a tough or well-funded challenger. So while Carly looks very "right" right now, Boxer will have to run to the middle also. In fact she has already started that by emphasizing jobs, jobs, jobs in all of her post-election comments.
To be elected Fiorina also must move away from her right wing primary stances. Her election night speech was well done, and she's already begun to move to the center. She is a cancer survivor; she is a successful corporate CEO; and she isn't one of the Washington DC incumbents Together with Whitman they will have a strong appeal to women and to disenchanted voters. There is more at stake here than just the Ca Senate seat. The US Senate is a critical battleground for Obama and the national Democratic agenda and the eyes of the nation will be on Boxer/Fiorina. This race will be close.
One Dem wag quipped this morning that since Meg Whitman spent about $77 dollars per voter – which is what an I-Pod currently costs on E-Bay – maybe her slogan can be "An I-pod in every pot!."…but I digress…This is a very tough contest for the Democrats. Meg has the ability to go on TV and Radio right now and stay on through November 9th. No amount of Dem money will match her, even as the unions are up on TV today. Meg has an anti-incumbent advantage – and she's a woman running with another woman (Wow the Reps moved into this century(!)
But never underestimate the power of Jerry Brown to re-invent himself. He did have the best election night line of the night: "It takes more to govern California than the 'rich and the restless.'" And he will be indefatigable in this race, even though he won't have the funds to match Whitman.
On our side, labor unions, teachers and others will have to get organized, energized and become believers – with both shoe leather and money to bring this one home.
Yet to be answered for me is whether either of the top ticket pairs can infuse any real "excitement" with the general voting public into this race. While special interests will surely notice: e.g. business, labor unions, women's groups – the turnout yesterday was miserable (less than 30%) and nowhere were there screaming crowds – in any headquarters or hotels election night. In order to get the kind of campaign Dems need someone will have to fire us up!
In addition, this electorate was remarkably different from the Obama 2008 electorate. It was white, it was old (er) and it was conservative. Both Republican candidates embraced tough new immigration reform, which, in another year might hurt them with California's large Latino population – but it remains to be seen whether Latinos will be motivated by that and actually come out to the polls. Similarly, younger voters and African American voters, captivated by Obama have little to relate to in either Whitman or Brown – indeed Jerry's service as Governor took place before the younger voters were born. Low turnout races sometimes spell trouble for Democrats.
Down ballot races could prove to be semi-interesting because:
1. "Coat-tails" don't often emerge in California. Voters are used to voting for different statewide candidates of different parties. Eight years ago under the Davis re-election effort Dems nearly swept the floor; but that is not the main happening in California. We are very used to having both a Republican Governor and a Dem Lt.Governor or the other way around. But with two women in the race at the top of the Rep ticket and a woman at the top of the Dem ticket, it will be interesting to see how/if they campaign together and what that means.
2. Liberal SF will be an issue. Our Lt Governor candidate: Mayor Gavin Newsome gained statewide attention during the Prop 8 effort and he is joined by our Attorney General Candidate San Francisco DA Kamala Harris. Will the Reps make a big deal of SF liberals – I'd guess yes.
3. Only a few legislative battles remain and both houses will remain firmly in the hands of the Democrats – so while some may be hard fought, I don't see much interesting on that front.
It will be a long summer and a longer fall…but I'm very excited to see it unfold.
As always California offers colorful and interesting storylines that make the rest of the county scratch their head and watch in wonder. I agree with Maggie that this first test of the election season shows that Californians on the whole are pretty smart and despite the lengthy, confusing and wordy ballot, they manage to figure things out.
An important thing to remember about the primary yesterday was that the turnout was heavy on the Republican side because of more hotly contested races on our side. I think the effect of that was probably more visible in some of the lower profile local races and initiatives.
But let's get to the juicy stuff.
My party last night nominated 2 women, a black (Damon Dunn for Secy of State) and a Latino (Abel Maldonado for Lt. Gov) for the statewide ticket. The two women were history making unto themselves, but the four of them together could actually make history in November. Maggie pointed out that we usually don't have coattails in California. However, this year could be different – here's why
What I am most excited about from last night's election has nothing to do with the 2010 elections, but could change the face of California politics. Open Primary.
Voters passed this initiative that will yield more candidates focused on getting things done and fewer candidates focused on setting themselves up for the next election down the road (a terrible byproduct of term limits). Open primary will be combined with the new redistricting process where involved citizens (that the Ogilvy team helped the State Auditor recruit earlier this year) will be drawing the legislative lines instead of the legislators who run for the seats.
My party opposed this and with its vantage point of staring a Democrat supermajority in the face I am not sure why they think the current system is such a good thing. Maggie's party opposed it to. Another reason why my party should have embraced it. I will leave it to you to surmise the wisdom of an electorate that passed something so strongly opposed by both party establishment…..
These two changes could create a legislature where common sense has a chance and getting things done trumps getting a good headline. Like I said – this could change the face of politics in California for years to come.
So now we head into the usual antics of the general election in California. Lots of union dollars spent on ads. Lots of Republicans bemoaning the union dollars. Lots of my neighbors asking me if I could tell X candidate to please stop making those phone calls to their house. And many events and happenings sure to make news that we couldn't even dream up as we sit here today.
It will be a wild ride as usual. But I look forward to it and to joining Maggie along the way to keep you updated and entertained.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Donna
"Very easy recipe from my Grandmother. Crust can be rolled out a second time if necessary and it won't get tough."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 3/4 cups
sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon
1/2 cup
vegetable oil
1/2 cup
I can see how this could flop on some folks but it worked great for me. I read most of the reviews so this is what I did that I believe made my attempt a success: I sifted my flour like it says--some people were complaining about there being too much flour in it making it crumbly -- if you don't sift it, you do get more flour than intended because it is more compacted. I handled the dough as little as possible--mix it just enough to get the balls to form--it should look marbled, a good sign for flakiness. After letting it chill (I did that while making the apple filling) I wet a washcloth and wiped my counter, then I put down a couple sheets of plastic wrap so they'd stick tight to the counter. Then I unwrapped the dough and placed it on the covered counter and put another sheet of plastic wrap on top of it and I rolled it out like that--a plastic wrap sandwich. It rolled out very quickly, with no turning, and neatly as there was absolutely no messing with flour which could make this crust too dry again. Once rolled out very thin, you simply remove the top plastic wrap and handle the crust gently by lifting up the bottom layer of plastic wrap and placing the crust carefully in your pan. This is a delicate crust, so measure and place carefully. But, it looked, held-up and tasted great so I gave it 5 stars. Thanks!
I made this recipe tonight and it was
very tough. I realized why when I reviewed the ingredients. The recipe called for 2 3/4 Cups Flour...too much.
The most flour to be used with 1/2 C oil
should be 2 1/4 C Flour and the least
amount to be used is 2 Cups. Had to throw my
pie away. Becky S

Made an amazing apple pie crust baked at 350 degrees! I did make one change - I placed the oil in the freezer for an hour prior to making the dough. It made combining ingredients much smoother.
I gave 5 stars for this one. Now the reality is that things made with high fat such as shortening, etc. do taste the best to the tastebuds, but if you are into healthy eating, this is the piecrust for you. You can have your pie and eat it too. To me, for a healthy crust, this is absolutely delicious. This will be my new piecrust for all of the pies that I bake. Used olive oil for extra health benefits. Finally, to be able to eat pie without feeling weighed down. Thanks so Much for this healthy variety piecrust. It is great!!!!!!
At last I have found the exact reciepe!! My mother-in-law made an oil crust and I could never duplicate it (I think she gave me the wrong receipe on purpose!!) This has always been my husbands favorite...Thanks so much. Oil crust is a little harder to roll out than lard crusts, that's the nature of the beast, I roll it out in between wax paper..
I was surprised to find there are no whole wheat pie crust recipes on this site, so I used this recipe as a basis for my own creation: I used 2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour, added a tsp of fine herbs and a tsp garlic powder, used olive oil instead and soy milk. Also added parsley. Baked at 350 F to make quiche. Very good! The only thing I would have done differently is cover the edges of the crust with foil so they wouldn't be as hard... the rest of the crust was nice and tender.
Even though this crust is not as tasty as a regular solid fat pastry I gave it five stars because it was the best oil pastry I have tried. I used it for the top crust of a chicken potpie and it was relatively flaky and very easy to handle. I did not make any substantial changes. I did add some savory and a little basil to the crust since it was not for a sweet pie. I also used olive oil for it's health benefits and rolled the crust out thinly between 2 sheets of waxed paper. I have added this to my hand written cookbook because I will be using it again.
Very easy, the trick is to roll it as thin as possible. For even better results make the dough first, put into the pie plate and refrigerate while making the filling.

Recent reviews:
April 7, 2015 - Bought 1 of each color, 2 are gifts. Love them.
December 7, 2014 - i got the blue one, and it is the exact picture in the color. it does have a weird dark blue blemish on one side, but i'm ok with that because it shows that it is a natural product and that's how it came out. i was going to get the purple one, but i got another tagua pendant in purple so thought i'd switch it up. a word of warning about the blue, the tree is just as light as it depicts in the picture, it doesn't show up quite as well as the purple does. i am still keeping it and will probably order the purple one next time these go on sale. also it comes with a pretty hokey cord and is only held in place by a matching square stone that is held with a large loophole. while it's nice that it matches, i will probably switch the chain because i don't trust such a light necklace to stay latched in such a flimsy way. 3/17/15-update: i ordered the purple necklace on my last order, and the design does show up much better than the blue one. :)
July 10, 2014 - I have always liked the tree of life and wearing it seemed just the right thing to do. This necklace is very light in weight and delicate. It feels like plastic.
April 8, 2014 - Got the purple necklace for myself and turquoise for daughter..we both love the necklace!
December 25, 2013 - Got the turquoise one of these. Very pretty, loved the elegance of it.

6 Ensure environmental sustainability
Where are we?
Latin America and the Caribbean have seen substantial progress in environmental legislation and in the
creation of institutions with mandates directly bearing on environmental concerns. However, major challenges
remain in effectively implementing the institutional arrangements and new legal provisions, as well as in integrating an approach based on the principles of sustainability —especially environmental sustainability— in decision-making in other policy sectors, such as energy, agriculture and demographics. In most of the region's countries, environmental protection is championed by relatively new institutions whose relative political weight and capacities, as well as their funding, are generally unsuited to the magnitude of their mission, which thus tends to be neglected in favour of politically entrenched sectoral objectives whose economic effects are measurable and easily understood by the population.
Protecting Forests
Governments in the region are investing in protecting the environment. And forest degradation has been reducing. In Brazil, for example, the drop in the deforestation rate is due to a number of factors, including: more intense action by the Federal Police to prevent illegal activity; strengthened governmental monitoring; and the fact that federal decree has eliminated credits to firms and individuals with a history of illegal activity detrimental to the environment.
Graph Brazil CEPAL page 256
The loss of forest cover in the region is generally attributable to the expansion of large-scale industrial agriculture and increasing livestock and forestry activity. This growth of activity is a response to global demand for food, fuel and wood products, among other things. Such traditional activities become even more profitable and attractive in the absence of mechanisms that place value on the forest's ecosystem services —for example, appropriate legislation and economic instruments accompanied by funding for implementation. Wood extraction is one factor behind the loss of forest area, although some parts of the region are beginning to see a transition towards sustainable timber extraction. Meanwhile, between 2000 and 2004, approximately 3.3 million hectares of forest were lost to fire, principally in arid and semiari tropical forests. Burning for fertilization continues to be a major factor as well.
CO2 emissions
The total volume of CO2 emissions in Latin America and the Caribbean has increased steadily since 1990.
Considering emissions from the burning of fossil fuels and cement production, but disregarding emissions from changes in soil use, the volume of emissions as a proportion of GDP has fallen slightly. According to the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) projections, the region's CO2 emissions are highly likely to continue increasing, since its economies' energy decoupling and decarbonization are not yet sufficient to compensate for strong and growing energy demand.
Although there is a great deal of variance between countries, the region's per capita CO2 emissions, averaging between 2.5 and 3.3 metric tons per capita annually between 1990 and 2006, are far below the developed economies' emissions levels.
One of the main challenges confronting the region is to reduce CO2 emissions from changes of soil use
—deforestation in particular— which are directly related with the forest cover indicator. In contrast to other developing regions, net emissions due to changes in soil use and forestry are positive in Latin America and the Caribbean. In the other regions, the effect of carbon sinks exceeds the effect of emissions. The Amazon forest is critical in this process, because while it is a major carbon reserve, its role as a sink is in jeopardy from the fact that, as an ecosystem, it is at the equilibrium point in terms of biomass growth and loss, which means that its capacity to sequester additional carbon is limited. Beyond its contribution to emissions and its potential for mitigation, the Amazon jungle plays a fundamental role in the region's climate. Furthermore, the region has one third of the world's forest biomass and two thirds of its tropical forest biomass. Thus, it has great potential to contribute to global efforts to mitigate climate change through the CO2 retention services available in its forests.
Water and Sanitation
The world has met the MDG drinking water target, five years ahead of schedule, and Latin America and the Caribbean has the highest proportion of population using improved water source among developing region: from 85 percent in 1990 to 94 percent in 2010 (close to the developed region's share of 99 percent).
Despite improvement in most of the developing regions, the sanitation target is still out of reach. Fully 72 per cent of all those lacking access to improved sanitation live in rural areas, as do 90 percent of those subject to the high-risk practice of open defecation (949 million people). This rural sanitation crisis persists even Latin America, which has a high coverage of improved drinking water: 17 percent of rural dwellers in Latin America and the Caribbean still resort to open defecation.

Gallery: Daylit Austrian Kindergarten is a Bright, Open Space That Blen...
The design is focused on creating an active learning environment where groups can collect or break up within the spaces without being cut off. The interior rooms provide a quiet learning place surrounded by public rooms. The building is placed with the long axes facing west and east, creating an elongated interior/exterior transition to the south.
The best part of the design is the southern face of the school, which has multiple entrances along the stepped back rooms to facilitate connectivity to the outdoors. Tall, operable windows bring daylight and fresh air into the spaces. The exterior is covered in a wooden louvered pergola which protects the glass and the play area from the sun while binding the stepped room sections together. Natural light is another central binding element in the school, which features a copious number of drop-down skylights integrated into the ceiling, adding an unusually lively ambience to the space.
Underground earthtube air intakes provide fresh pre-tempered air, which is heated or cooled before entering the building. The entire school has an underfloor heating system to keep the kids' toes toasty on winter days. Hot water is provided by an efficient water-to-water heat pump. Rain is captured and reused as well, helping the school to truly integrate into its site.

Wednesday, October 22, 2003SPARTANBURG, S.C. (Oct. 22, 2003) -- East Tennessee State's Kate Steidle (Waynesboro, Va.) has been named the TIAA-CREF SoCon Student-Athlete of the Week for the week of October 22. Steidle, a senior outside hitter on the Buccaneers' volleyball team, led her squad with 3.27 kills per game last week to go along with her seven service aces (0.64 per game). She tied a season-high attack percentage of .400 in a 3-0 sweep of Chattanooga on Tuesday night, equaling a mark she set last Wednesday versus Furman. On Sunday, Steidle recorded her third double-double of the season against Wofford, while picking up season-highs in kills (19), digs (13), attacks (46), aces (4), and blocks (3). For the week, Steidle hit for an attack percentage of .321 in a total of three matches. "Kate is a very diciplined person and has an incredible work ethic both on and off the court," said ETSU head coach Lindsey Devine. "By her winnning this award, it reflects the hard work that she puts forth on a daily basis." Steidle is an active member of the Student Athlete Advisory Council at ETSU. Steidle carries a 3.530 GPA as a Pre-med/biology major with a minor in criminology.

Guest DJ: Cher Lloyd
Listen to Cher Lloyd's Guest DJ'd station on iHeartRadio
Cher Lloyd has come a long way since finishing 4th on UK's "X Factor" in 2010, from gaining massive support for her hit debut single in the US, "Want U Back" (from 2012's Sticks & Stones), to charming her fans (called 'Brats') stateside and abroad with her latest song featuring T.I., "I Wish."
"I feel as a twenty year old girl in the music industry, it can get very tough with your image, your style, your overall look and personality, and I felt like I had been taken over by what I was meant to look like," Cher tells iHeartRadio regarding the inspiration for the song. "I sort of lost sight of who I actually was, and I feel like that happens with everyone. I don't think I've ever met anyone who can turn around to me and say, 'I'm completely happy with myself,' unless you're majorly vain and overconfident. I applaud you for your confidence, but I just don't think it's real. So when I recorded this song, I sat down with my two producers and I said, 'I want to create something that is not only positive, but actually is real, and people can have a real understanding of exactly how it feels to be in a not so good situation about how you feel about yourself. So that's why when we wrote it, I wanted to point out all the things that I don't have that sometimes I wish I had. And I think the things I pointed out are quite similar to what most girls feel. But I wanted the message to be although I'm not completely a hundred percent happy with myself, I'm still content, I'm still happy with what I'm doing and happy with my career and my life choices, and that's basically what 'I Wish' is about. It's making you feel good about yourself, but still understanding that you're not one hundred percent happy with your image."
It's a message that pretty much all females can relate to, and especially Cher's passionate Brats. The pint-sized powerhouse recently announced the title of her sophomore album - due out in 2014 - Sorry I'm Late. But with a catchy, relatable brand new single and new album on the horizon, the stars seem to be aligning for Cher not only fashionably, but right on time.
Cher Lloyd teamed up with iHeartRadio to Guest DJ a radio station that represents her, featuring an eclectic mix a mix of pop, rock, hip-hop and more. Her picks give fans insight into the music that makes her tick. Check out Cher''s top ten tracks below.
1. The Kooks, "Junk of the Heart"
"'Junk of the Heart' reminds me of being in the car with my fiancé. He is a massive Kooks fan," Cher Lloyd tells iHeartRadio. "I suppose at first I wasn't a huge fan, but then he kind of made me a fan. Every time that song comes on, it just reminds me of him, so that's probably why I love it so much.'
2. Lorde, "Royals"
"I feel like this particular song is yet so new, but it's grown on me so much, and I like her as a person," Cher says. "She just seems so pure, and I think that's what I like about her as an artist. Immediately when I heard this song, I searched for all of her other material and completely fell in love with her. I think she is someone that would be good to hang out with."
3. The Cardigans, "Love Fool"
"This song is just so fun! You put it on while you're doing your makeup in the morning, and it just makes you feel energized. I love signing along to it. I think it's super cheesy in a good way, and that's why I love it."
4. Nelly Furtado, "Turn Off The Light"
"This is a huge smash, a huge hit. It reminds me of being in high school, and once again it just makes me feel really energized, and her voice is incredible. Any Nelly Furtado song, I love it."
5. Santigold, "Unstoppable"
"This is a bit of a weird one for me because when I first heard it, I really really liked it, and then the second time, I thought it was weird," Cher tells iHeartRadio. "It's just one of those situations where you're like, 'Should I like it cause it's so weird?' And then you just kind of accept it and you get into it. But I think it's a very strange song -- really strange -- and you have to like that type of music to actually get into it. You can't force yourself to like it."
6. Kid Cudi, "Pursuit of Happiness"
"I'm a massive fan. I think lyrically he's incredible, because not only does he captivate you, but he makes you believe it too, and his songs are about him. They're not about random subjects that can be taken and thrown away, and I think 'Pursuit Of Happiness' basically explains it the way that I feel too. Actually I have a lyric in one of my brand new songs that has a little tiny bit of 'Pursuit Of Happiness' -- it's been a massive influence. The lyrics in that song are so deep and meaningful that you can really respect that."
7. Neon Trees, "Everybody Talks"
"Once again, this is a car song. See, I'm never allowed to put my music on in the car -- I don't drive. I should just sit there and shut up and just listen to what is playing. But once again, this is one of those songs that he likes to play, and I just fell in love with. I think it's great that artists like that are now moving over into the more commercial lens. It gives them an opportunity to go out and not only earn a lot more money, but break into more of a better lane. I feel good about bands breaking into the commercial scene."
8. The-Dream, "Walkin' On The Moon"
"This song is kind of like floating in like a weird way, where it can relax you, but still you can probably move a little bit to it. I really like The-Dream."
9. Kanye West, "Robocop"
"I feel that this is Kanye's best song. At the end when it fades out he has a line where it says, 'You spoiled little L.A. girl,' and for some reason, that always sticks in my head. Not that I have anything against people, or for being in L.A., but I just think it was so boisterous of him to go ahead and say that on a song, and I just think that made me fall in love with the song -- just that one line. I have respect for people that can do that in songs. It's not easy to be able to just say something like that and not care about it... Kanye has a lot of explicit lyrics, and some of his lyrics are quite crude, but yet that one simple line for me just had me sold. It's a strange thing, but I think people will understand why."
10. Paramore, "Misery Business:
"This song is so different, and I feel like people wouldn't necessarily think that I would like something like this, just because it's a little crazy it's a little too much. Normally it would be way too much for me to listen to. It's like sometimes when songs are too crazy, it makes me really frustrated, and I have to switch it off. This is just so close to the line. It doesn't cross the line, but it's just so close and I think that's why I really like it. It's so energetic, and I really like [Hayley] too, she's really really cool."
