I've spent the last few days here...
Specifically here...
Sometimes the Universe forces a time out.
On Christmas Eve, I had the tell-tale signs of a forthcoming rest. Scratching throat and little voice. On Christmas Day, I was down for the count.
I've spent the last three days with pots full of tea, Luca and the Christmas lights to keep me company.
I kind of feel like I missed Christmas.
Lots of time for thinking, but mostly just resting. A few little strokes of watercolors to catch up with my Letters from Roseville.
I had a head full of things I wanted to get accomplished over the holiday. Experience has taught me that sometimes, it is good to let things go, and to just lean into the stillness. Sometimes this is the only way be still and let go. The Universe knows me well.
It's been one of the busiest years I can remember. So much happened; trips, travel, movings, certifications, a promotion and a whirlwind of other things. Taking a little break, willfully or not, just may be the perfect little Christmas gift.

4 tools that support community building at the street level.
Just heard from my co-worker, Chris Haller, who is at Where 2.0 that Google has announced yet another cool tool for visualization. Street View provides panoramic views embedded as an additional view to g-maps. Initially this tool is only available in 5 cities: Denver, Las Vegas, Miami, New York and San Francisco.
Was able to locate the following YouTube demo. Corny video, but cool technology.
Also announced at Where 2.0 is a map-based community network called Fatdoor which brings together social networking elements such as personal profiles, intra-personal connections, group networking and information sharing, but is centered on local neighborhoods. The tool uses Microsoft's Virtual Earth online mapping platform to visualize and explore a neighborhood. Currently it is available as an invitation-only trial, but sounds very interesting.
Next, in my search for biodiesel stations for our car, I came across plaitial.com -- a great use of google mash-ups to collect community data points and add pictures and information. I found the user interface and the mapmaker tool very easy to use and intuitive. Google's My Maps, which came out in March, allows much the same functionality. Here is an interesting oral history of Route 66.

Bicyclists hurt in crashSeptember 09,2013RIPTON — Police said a Massachusetts man on a motorcycle struck a pair of bicycle riders Sunday afternoon.
Police said David A. Green, 55, of Somerville, Mass., was riding west on Route 125 was with a group of motorcyclists when he entered a curve and lost control of his 2013 Victory Judge motorcycle.
According to police, Green laid down the bike and collided with a pair cyclists, who were also part of a larger group riding west.
Police said one of the bicyclists — Jake A. Barker, 19, of Steamboat Springs, Colo. — suffered cuts and a possible fracture to his hand. The other cyclist — Kai Wiggins, 19, of East Greenbush, R.I. — suffered some scrapes and was taken to Porter Medical Center, as was Green, who also suffered scrapes and bruising.
Police said speed contributed to the crash, which remains under investigation.MORE IN This Just InKABUL, Afghanistan Confusion reigned in the wake of the deadly bombing Saturday of a hospital...

Practically speaking, we're a group of writers, designers, account executives, tech workers, analysts, and strategists. Philosophically speaking, the answer is a little more complicated. Who are any of us, really?
We've given it some thought, and here's where we've landed: Who We Are = What We Choose.
That's not to say we all can just "choose" to be awesome. Rather it's to say that our choices—good and bad—define us. Therefore, we choose carefully.
to work with clients who want
to be great, and who want to make
the world a better place.
to do bold, risk-taking work
that makes us proud.
to be honest,
even when it hurts.
to be kind.
to never sacrifice any of this
for a few extra dollars. Ever.
By "our people," we don't mean "our loyal subjects." Rather, we mean it in the same way you might when you refer to your friends or your brothers and sisters as, "My people." Without further ado, here are ours.
I once wrote a shoe company script for John Madden that included the line: "At the end of the day, my dogs are really barking." One time Peyton Manning made fun of me for wearing "denim on denim." I once made $150 for writing "Free stickers inside!" for a Fruit of the Loom underwear package. A client once fired me for pointing out to his administrative assistant that you don't need the extra "e" in "judgment." I was the high scorer on the Butler Soccer club (two goals) as a freshman in 1977 and Butler Frisbee golf champion in 1978. Once a year, I get to sing on stage.
I was walking on South Beach in Miami. The weather was a perfect 75 degrees with a cool breeze coming in off the ocean. The sun was just beginning to rise over the horizon. I was by myself with my feet in the surf. As I walked down the beach, I saw a man in the distance sitting at the edge of the water. He was in an old lawn chair with a TV tray in front of him. As I got closer, I noticed he was typing on a laptop sitting on the TV tray. I walked up and asked what he was doing. He looked up and said, "Designing a website for a client." That's when I knew I wanted to be a developer.
As a kid I played office, not house. I always use the Oxford comma…always. The most beautiful place I have ever laid eyes on is Banff, Canada. My most vivid memories are tied to experiences that included music. I'm a big fan of the one-minute dance party. One day, I will master the Crow Pose. My favorite walking companion and cuddler is my pit bull mix, Dexter (#adoptdontshop). I have a diverse work background that includes corporate retail, education, the nonprofit sector, and now advertising. "The only source of knowledge is experience." – Albert Einstein
When my daughter was two, I started taking care of her during the day so my wife could go back to work. I carried a notebook on our outings, thinking I'd work on writing ideas, but I didn't do much writing. Instead, the notebook filled with pictures of Big Bird my daughter was always asking me to draw. Despite months of practice, I never quite got the hang of his beak, which must be very carefully shaped and proportioned. You have to get that part right, or he just doesn't seem like himself.
Things I value most: fun, the environment, health, doing the right thing, my city. I am rabid about my gym, but I have a deep relationship with ice cream and pizza too. I started running at age 37, and even though I now do an annual triathlon, I still think I'm amazing every time I run a mile without stopping. I recently leaped into the right relationship and the right job, and I've never been more challenged and happy. I am a proud socially awkward extrovert, and I think of every meeting I walk into as an opportunity to make another new friend, which is either endearing or annoying for you. But I'll hope for the former.
The most surreal job I've had was copyediting bills for the Indiana State Legislature. That gig came after I worked for the private investigator but before I ghostwrote Raising Goats For Dummies. Reviewing restaurants meant forever scraping to find new words to describe food. Wasn't long before I resorted to "flaccid." At some point I had a long interview with a very small philosopher who needed a ghostwriter for a book about the nature of existence. He became so incensed by my stand on free will that he had tears in his eyes when he showed me the door. I was not offered the job. It couldn't have been any other way.
When I was six, I picked up the guitar. I've never really put it down. I'm still holding it, mostly in my head throughout the day. My parents never outwardly encouraged me to pursue music. Now I see why. They knew I liked to eat. I mean, a lot. I may not look it, but boy, can I put it away. There are few things that make me happier in life than eating and music. If I could eat a song, I probably would. A big, fat, juicy song with extra sauce. Anyone have a napkin?
Iron on t-shirts. That pretty much sums up how I became a designer. I logged onto AOL and I proceeded to spend hours and hours searching for the perfect font. I made Bob Barker t-shirts. Degrassi t-shirts. I even put my high school car, a Chevrolet Celebrity, on a t-shirt. Why? No one knows. Then I got my first development experience, making custom pages for MySpace. I'd waste time during class manipulating the code to see what I could create. I was just doing what came naturally and what I loved to do; I had no clue my nerd activities were shaping my future career. But I'm still waiting for Well Done to ask me to make some iron on t-shirts.
234. Number of tables I helped set up and tear down around Monument Circle as lead event manager for Circlefest '91 and '92. 1. Number of times I chatted with Ty Pennington on a near-Eastside Indianapolis street corner while coordinating PR for "Extreme Home Makeover." 1 million. Amount of money I helped raise for the first-ever corporate sponsorship program at the world's largest children's museum. 10. Number of years I've worked at Well Done Marketing. 24. Number of years I've been married to my husband, David. 3. Number of people who call me "Mom" – my true role in life.
Not long ago, a semi-homeless man with a striking resemblance to Gregg Allman told me I was a "pretty lady," leading me to think I still "have it" among a certain audience. I'm 99% vegetarian. If I didn't hate pain so much, I'd have a full tattoo sleeve on my right arm. I tend to have lots of conversations that revolve around good design, true crime, and the latest stiff drink I've concocted in my Fletcher Place kitchen. I hate it when people use "I seen" in conversation. And I say "f*ck" way too often to be considered a classy lady.
When I was seven years old, I wrote a letter to The Bozo Show in hopes of being an at-home player on the Grand Prize Game. I watched every day in the following weeks as the show's host, Frazier Thomas, spun a giant wheel full of letters before choosing the day's winner. He never chose mine. But that didn't stop me from creating my own Grand Prize Game at home using hats, empty trashcans, and ping-pong balls. The only thing missing was the prize.
Between the ages of 10 and 16, I changed schools five times. Three were local schools; the last two times were long-distance moves to the south and then back to the Midwest. Facing new environments, cultures, kids, and adults each time was a challenge, especially during adolescence. I quickly learned one technique to make people feel comfortable and welcome that I continue to use to this day: Look them in the eye, smile, and say, "Hello." If you're ever in the Well Done office, stop by and say, "Hello" anytime.
I do not eat breakfast until 1 p.m. I am unwilling to eat boquerones, foie gras, Roquefort, or any other foods I can't pronounce unless you're paying. If a revolutionary diet pill comes along that can fulfill all of my nutritional needs, I'll be the first guy to try it. I hate cheese and tomatoes but enjoy pizza. But contrary to popular belief, I do not actually hate food. In fact, there are some forms of sustenance I enjoy, including bread, meat, fruits, vegetables, rice, and water. If someone were to open a diner specializing in prehistoric Mesopotamian cuisine, I'd be all over it.
I'm a man who enjoys a good slice of cheese. If I were to compile the perfect cheese plate, my choices would be Brie (or Saint-André), a 10-year-aged sharp cheddar, and Gorgonzola Dolce. Cheez-Its® are pretty good, too. And I like longhorn Colby on my sandwiches. When I order Hotbox Pizza breadsticks, I typically get an extra cup of nacho cheese dipping sauce, giving me a 3:1 breadstick-to-cheese-cup ratio. One time, me and two other friends ordered six bags of breadsticks and 12 cheese cups. For three of us. And we ate all of it. I should probably cut back on cheese.
When I was a boy, I refused to wear shorts, because army men did not wear shorts. I (and they) still don't. When I was an even younger boy, I insisted on having a damp washcloth at the table with me to keep my face and hands clean while eating. My children today demand the same of me, and let me tell ya, it is just plain excessive. Somewhere out there, I wish I knew where, there is an MTV-style "Diary of Brandon Martin" that was shot for my high school's Friday morning news show. Check back regularly for potential developments on that.
I did try once to build a hang-glider when I was in high school, but I never finished. My father is an engineer, and the hang-glider might be as good a case study as any in the difference between us. Whereas my father at seventeen possessed the mathematical skill to calculate things like wingspans and bearable payloads, I went into the project possessing little except the belief that, if it didn't work, I'd only be falling off the roof, and how bad could that be? Unfortunately, I never found out. I like to think that it would have worked, or at least that it would have broken my fall. My father might disagree. But regardless of our methods, we each know a good jumping roof when we see one.
I am a product of the Indianapolis Public School system. During my 13-year tenure I experienced several (retrospectively) amusing circumstances. Among many other things, I was hit in the back of the head with a snowball in 10th-grade French class, I was punched in the face by a girl in 9th-grade history class, and on my first day of middle school, I was jumped in the bathroom by a hulking beast of a boy in front of most of my classmates. But there were things that happened that I'm thankful for, too. Things that helped shape who I am today. Things like being hit with a snowball, punched in the face, and beaten up in the bathroom.
My early career aspirations, in chronological order: cheerleader, veterinarian, English teacher, graphic designer, journalist, web developer, travel writer, and social worker. I'm now doing none of those things. But I'm pleasantly surprised every day by how much I enjoy (and am actually pretty good at) research and data and spreadsheets. I get to use most of the foundational skills of the aforementioned jobs in my current role (except maybe animal care), so I may have struck vocational gold. I've sung on the stages of Carnegie Hall and the Sydney Opera House, I'm moderately obsessed with light fixtures, and, according to a Pantone test I took once, I have perfect color acuity.
By the time you read this, I will be a mother. My first son (whose name may or may not be "River"; we're still up in the air as of this writing) will be born in May 2015. His dad, my husband, is the host of a reality television show called Fat Guys in the Woods (yes, really). At my last job, I spent many years working as an art director on the Simon Malls account. Now, I'm happy simply to shop at Simon Malls. Finally: I am a twin. And although my sister and I are not technically identical, you'll probably have a hard time telling us apart.
A 13 year-old-girl crying on her front steps is often a sight that is best met with an eye roll and a reluctant inquiry of "What's wrong?" But when she is producing earth-rattling wails from deep in her core, it's probably best to just steer clear. I will leave here the minute I turn 18, I promised myself between heaving sobs. I will be a young, free, permanent resident of the East Coast, and I will NEVER come back. Flash forward 11 years, and my disdain for Indy has diminished. IN fact, it has transformed into a deep love and appreciation. This place is now my home, and the thought of moving back to New York makes me want to take a 10-year nap.
In order to get to know me, you will first need to learn a few of my favorite things: Tina Fey, Mexican food, my dog, rock climbing, traveling, trying new restaurants, and reading. I am eternally impressed by Indy's thriving food scene and hope to one day open my own vegetarian restaurant. That will come after I win Jeopardy. I have regularly watched the show since high school and I like to believe I could win it all. Unfortunately, this is probably not true, but I will take anyone on in a trivia night. Even you.
Ever since I was a little girl, I've loved practical jokes and stupid humor, and generally have a sarcastic comment running through my mind (sometimes it's like a ticker tape in there). One of my favorite movies is Ace Ventura Pet Detective (don't judge), and one of my longest-running Hollywood crushes is Adam Sandler (how can you not love that guy?!). I love wearing funny t-shirts and even have (what I think is) a funny bumper sticker on my car. Oh, and I love Chucks. (Not guys named Chuck. Chuck Taylors.) I have 5 pairs. One last thing: I love football. Go Colts! (And Broncos!)

Here's the reality of public relations that no one in our industry is talking about, but we should be. While the media has changed from a print mechanism to a mobile multimedia environment, PR remains stuck in the 20th century. As consumers, we want our news on demand, and in turn demand that credible journalists give it to us immediately. And we don't just want written stories – we want video, audio, live feeds, in living color. We'd also prefer it digested into cool headlines, in 140 characters, in 6-second vines and matching quizzes. Now, journalists need all these tools of the trade and more. And how do PR pros reach them?
PR Is Stuck In The 20th Century
Operation Portable Career: Communications Firms Are Perfect Fit For Mobile Milspouses
For information about PRSA's Moving Veterans Forward initiative, visit the PRSA Jobcenter.
Most military spouses hear it during almost every Permanent Change of Station (PCS): friends and acquaintances voice their frustration over finding and/or keeping employment with each move. For some, this is the first foray into military life where unique challenges and experiences color our daily lives. For newcomers like me, it has meant three moves in two years. For others, this dance is a familiar one as they settle into the routine of packing up, moving halfway across the country, and starting over – in every way – in their new, but temporary, home.
Six Tips For APR Success
Editor's note: This is the part of an ongoing series of articles from communicators who have earned their Accreditation in Public Relations, describing what led them to become accredited and what the accreditation experience was like for them.
Since entering the professional world and at the beginning of each new year, I endeavor to set at least one personal and professional goal for myself. As I was considering my goals for 2014, one theme kept emerging — continuous learning. I decided my path to continuous learning was through obtaining my Accreditation in Public Relations (APR). For many years, I had been considering Accreditation, and knew, in order to grow my career, it was time to commit myself to the process of developing a deeper understanding of the strategic and business sides of public relations.
By Jan. 31, 2014, I had completed and submitted the APR application and received notification I was accepted. I immediately purchased a few of the recommended texts and signed up for the APR Online Study Course. I was given until Jan. 31, 2015, to be Advance through the Readiness Review and pass the Examination for Accreditation in Public Relations.
7 Pinterest Points PR Pros Need to Know
For many of us, Pinterest is a form of entertainment (or obsession). But for PR pros, it can be a powerful tool to connect with our audiences.
Now I know what you're thinking: Is anybody even using Pinterest anymore?
Pew Research Center's Social Media Update 2014, indicated 28 percent of online U.S. adults use Pinterest, representing 22 percent of all adults in the U.S. That's way below Facebook's 71 percent of online adults, but slightly above Twitter's 23 percent and Instagram's 26 percent. Yup, you read that right. ABOVE Twitter and Instagram. That's something for PR pros to think about when recommending platforms and social strategies.
The Art Of Managing Workplace Conflict
Have you ever watched a conflict between two other people at work and were reluctant to step in? Why is that? There are so many possible reasons:
- You don't want to get in the middle of it.
- You're unsure what to say.
- You don't want one or both of them to be upset with you.
- You're not a supervisor to either of the people in conflict.
- You're afraid your approach will be too tough.

So I was cleaning my drivetrain tonight as I've been doing for the past couple years - basically using a chain cleaner tool to clean the chain and then removing the rear wheel, spray some simple green on the cassette and then use a cleaning brush to clean off the cassette. I'm reasonably careful when spraying on the Simple Green to keep it close to the cassette, but inevitably some must get on the brake rotors. I've never really thought about it before (and its getting late so I don't want to start thinking much right now...), so I'll throw my question out to the forum: what effect will this have on my braking performance? I don't generally rinse my rotor after I clean the cassette, so I'd have to assume that some of the degreaser is getting to the brake pads....

How To Detect Second Metatarsal Pain
Treating forefoot metatarsalgia can be very challenging. In these cases, you'll often find several differing types of pain and it may be difficult to differentiate the pain according to the patient's complaints. Be aware the region most often misdiagnosed is forefoot pain surrounding the second metatarsal region. With this in mind, let's address differing complaints surrounding the second metatarsal region by considering the following case study. A 40-year-old female patient comes into the office, complaining of pain in the region of the second metatarsal. She feels pain with ambulation and it worsens with increased ambulation. With continued walking or activity, she feels a chronic sharp pain in the region of the second metatarsal head and surrounding tissues. She also says she has increased pain at the ball of the foot when she wears high heels and you detect some numbness of the second toe at the distal tip. The patient has no history of trauma and says the pain increased in the previous three to four months from a dull ache to a chronic state. The patient also notes an increased contracture of the second toe in the previous one to two weeks. She reports the pain is slightly better when she uses anti-inflammation medications.
What The Examination Reveals
During the physical examination of the patient, you see mild edema and erythema beneath the second metatarsal head and surrounding tissue. You don't see any callus tissue and you note there is no fluctuance in the deep space of the second metatarsal head. Upon performing the vascular examination of the foot, you find normal dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial pulses. You also note the patient's muscle strength to the foot is intact and normal with no loss of muscle function. However, the second toe has a slight contracture at the metatarsal-phalangeal joint (MPJ) and the proximal interphalangeal joint. There is a slight length difference among the first, second and third metatarsals, as the second metatarsal is slightly longer than the first and third. You also see an associated hypermobility of the first metatarsal-cunieform joint. The patient has a positive Lachman's dorsal drawer of the second MPJ with associated severe pain. Palpating the second interspace causes pain with pressure and you notice the second interspace has a fullness. However, there is no palpable click. The pain in the second interspace does not radiate into the toes nor does it radiate proximally into the rest of the foot and ankle. Palpating the plantar surface of the second MPJ and interspace causes greater pain as you place pressure closer to the second MPJ. You note the pain is greater under the second MPJ as you progressively place pressure distally from the metatarsal head toward the attachment of the toe. The patient's gait pattern reveals mild pes planus. You notice an associated early heel off pattern secondary to a slight equinus deformity. The patient feels pain when you ask her to stand onto her tip toes but she relates no shooting pain. When you examine radiographs, you see a slightly elevated first metatarsal and a slightly long second metatarsal. The patient has a mild hammertoe associated with the second toe proximal interphalangeal joint. You also note mild deviation of the second MPJ into an adductus position.
What Is The Differential Diagnosis?
1) Second interspace neuroma 2) Hammertoe contracture with second metatarsal contracture 3) Second metatarsal phalangeal joint synovitis 4) Long/plantarflexed second metatarsal 5) Plantar plate tear of the second MPJ
Key Tips On Adjunctive Tests
An MRI is my choice test in this situation. Although it's hard to identify a neuroma on MRI, often, there is an associated interspace edema without involving the second MPJ that helps with a possible neuroma diagnosis. When it comes to a plantar plate rupture or partial tear, this is often visible on MRI and you can also diagnose it indirectly when your patient has increased signal in the plantar surface of the second metatarsal head and phalynx base. You can also use an MRI to visualize joint synovitis. You may also consider using a diagnostic ultrasound as a second test, but be aware it is very technician-dependent. Using this modality may help you see a neuroma or a plantar plate tear. Also keep in mind that fullness of the MPJ may indicate a chronic synovitis. An arthrogram of the second MPJ is an excellent test for diagnosing a possible plantar plate tear of the second MPJ, but be aware that it may be negative if there is scar tissue healing of the plantar plate region. In cases of chronic scarring, the dye material will not leak into the flexor tendon sheath.
Diagnostic Answers
1. An interspace neuroma of the second web space is very rare in my opinion and I will not make this diagnosis without seeing a great deal of evidence. I rarely will inject a patient in the interspace until I have received the MRI results and decided a neuroma is highly likely. In this case, there is no sharp or shooting pain in the second interspace and there is no palpable click. The patient also has a pain beneath the second MPJ, which is not usually present with a neuroma. 2. Although there is a hammertoe of the second toe with some contracture at the MPJ, the second toe has no pain except at the distal tip and the toe is flexible. The contracture of the second MPJ is easily reducible and the plantar metatarsal head has no callus. 3. Synovitis of the second MPJ is possible yet there is rarely pain on the plantar region of the joint and most of the pain is on the dorsal aspect with this diagnosis. Often, the synovitis is due to a primary underlying issue, which you'll need to diagnose. 4. While we see a long metatarsal on radiographs, you can't consider this diagnosis as the primary source of pain since there is no callus under the metatarsal head and the pain is distal to the metatarsal head in the region of the phalangeal base. 5. The diagnosis in this case is most likely a plantar plate tear of the second MPJ. Plantar plate tears are often misdiagnosed or overlooked so be on the lookout for several common findings in cases of plantar plate tears. The most common finding you'll see is a hypermobility of the first metatarsal. This causes an overload of the lesser metatarsals, leading to a plantar tear of the associated capsule. Other common findings of the first metatarsal are an elevated first metatarsal (commonly due to a hallux valgus deformity) or a short metatarsal. Although the pain is often caused by a lack of function in the first metatarsal, the tear may be directly caused by the associated metatarsal. In most cases, you'll find a long metatarsal in association with the plantar plate tear. It is also common to see a contracted proximal phalanx, which is flexible. In long-standing cases, you may also note a medial or lateral deviation of the toe at the MPJ. Finally, you'll often see an equinus deformity leading to an early heel off and increased forefoot loading.
Diagnosis And Treatment
Remember that employing cortisone injections will only provide temporary pain relief and will result in a decreased rate of healing of the torn plantar plate. You'll often see plantar plate deformities in the second MPJ, but be aware that this pain is closely related to a second MPJ neuroma. If you're not careful in the diagnostic process and fail to undertake a neuroma treatment regimen, the problem will not subside and a frustrated patient ultimately will leave your practice disappointed. As noted earlier, I will not treat a second MPJ problem until I am either sure a plantar plate tear does not exist or until I have received an MRI. Although an MRI is not always diagnostic, there are some helpful diagnostic pearls to remember. With a plantar plate tear, you'll see associated swelling of the MPJ plantar capsule region, which also extends along the associated flexor tendon. In the case of an interspace neuroma, if you can't directly identify the neuroma on the MRI, you will see inflammation in the interspace instead of in the capsular region. In treating the plantar plate tear of the second MPJ, you want to stabilize the MPJ in order to allow healing. To see if stabilization will be beneficial, tape the toe in a plantarflexed position and allow the patient to take a few steps. If he or she feels relief from pain, undertake a course of conservative care. I often will try three to four weeks of MPJ stabilization with a toe stabilization pad and surgical shoe. If the treatment does not resolve pain at the two-week appointment, I will begin a course of physical therapy, including electrical stimulation and ultrasound of the painful region. At the four-week point, if there is no change in the patient's pain whatsoever, I will consider surgical repair. Although direct repair of the plantar plate is possible, there is a general consensus that a flexor to extensor transfer is the preferred technique. You would do this in conjunction with fusing the proximal interphalangeal joint of the associated toe and releasing any MPJ contracture. It is essential to transfer the long flexor tendon as close to the base of the proximal phalanx as possible. Otherwise, you cannot recreate the function of the plantar plate. Pin the MPJ for three to four weeks. After this period, remove the pin from the MPJ and start range of motion of the joint. Do not remove the pin from the interphalangeal joint until you note a solid fusion. Only in cases of severe MPJ contracture is it necessary to decrease the length of the metatarsal. In conclusion, take care in diagnosing second metatarsal deformities and interspace neuromas. More often than you may imagine, a plantar plate may be the underlying problem.

Trump: 'Anthony Weiner is a Bad Guy, a Psycho' (Does Donald Want Back the Campaign Contributions?)
**Written by Doug Powers
Donald Trump went off on Anthony Weiner today. HAP has the full video, but here's a partial transcript I jotted down just to give you an idea:
Many people have been asking me about Anthony Weiner, the congressman from New York who had big ambitions and wanted to run for Mayor of New York City. The fact is, I know him very well. He'd call me all the time looking for campaign contributions and would never stop. He'd give me all sorts of phone numbers — fortunately I don't think I ever called.
The fact is, Anthony Weiner is a bad guy. He's a psycho. And when this came out, I was not surprised at all. I'd watch him on interviews, I'd watch him on television. I'd hear what he had to say, and he was like a boiler about to explode.
One thing good came out of Anthony's mess… I'll never have to give him campaign contributions, and that's really wonderful.
For the most part I agree with Trump's assessment — Weiner's nuts and he was long before he was a creepy glimmer in the eye of yFrog — but as for "I don't think I ever called him back when he asked for donations," Donald might be mistaken:
Okay, so maybe Weiner wasn't so psycho just over a year ago when Donald was a FoW.
Hey, if Trump gave Weiner money just to shut him up, I almost understand that… almost (if so, Trump was also trying to shut up a lot of other liberal Democrats). I'm guessing a good deal of Weiner's fundraising cash came from people just trying to get him to close his mouth. This year it'll come from people trying to get him to close his Blackberry.
As for Trump, he may have just had a "Weiner roast," but a few thousand of his own dollars went towards fueling the fire.

The Politics of Fat
A hefty problem for the left.
Jan 5, 2009, Vol. 14, No. 16 • By ANDREW FERGUSON
This is the point in the argument where the city council of Binghamton jumps in. Actually, they perked up at the mention of the word "victims." Victims are citizens who have gone limp. They require the paternal care and protection of public officials. Researchers from Yale (no less) "found that obese adults were 37 times more likely"--not 36 times more likely, and not 38 either--"to report weight-based employment discrimination compared to 'normal' weight adults." Nonprogressives from places other than Binghamton might find this statistic less than eye-popping. Who else but fat people are going to suffer discrimination against fat people? But the very idea of such unregulated bigotry moved the city council to act. Specifically, it outlawed what has elsewhere been called weightism: "weight-based" discrimination in housing, employment, education, and public accommodation. The bill's sponsor explained the law by saying, "It is the human thing to do."
Well, it's certainly the progressive thing to do. Those same Yale researchers fleshed out the reasoning, if you'll forgive the expression. "Weight bias exists," they explained, because weightist bigots believe that "the only reason people fail to lose weight is because of [they're not teaching grammar at Yale these days] poor self-discipline or a lack of willpower." This wrongheaded notion "blames the victim rather than addressing environmental conditions that cause obesity."
The city council takes care of the first part of this incorrect thinking. Its new law reinforces the view that obesity, like sex or race, is an unchangeable condition deserving civil rights protection. The governor aims for the second part, by making the initial move toward taxing those "environmental conditions" out of existence; he will, in other words, directly attack the TFE and, if all goes well, cure the obesity epidemic.
The governor and the Binghamton city council acted independently, of course, but together they've concocted a perfectly progressive two-pronged approach, a one-two punch, a regulatory pincer movement designed to eliminate, all at once and simultaneously, not only discrimination against the obese but also the obese themselves.
One problem does suggest itself. If the government is to declare our hefty brothers and sisters a protected class, if they are to become a legal caste that cannot be singled out because of their weight, how can the government continue to go after their favorite foods? A "fat tax" on sugary soda pop punishes fat people by making the foods they love more expensive--merely because fat people love them. One tactic violates the other. It's only a matter of time before fat people will be able to sue the state of New York on grounds of discrimination for imposing a fat tax. And then where will we be?
I don't want to give anybody any ideas, but I have noticed an alarming number of dangerously skinny people drinking diet soda. It's like an -epidemic.

CALGARY, June 26, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - SemBioSys Genetics Inc. , a biotechnology company developing a portfolio of therapeutic proteins for metabolic and cardiovascular disease, today announced positive preclinical data supporting the development of plant-derived recombinant human insulin. The Company presented its findings at the 67th Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) in Chicago. Specifically, the Company's abstract and poster presentation highlighted its recent accomplishments in the development of a highly-scalable, low-cost source of insulin, including:
- Results demonstrating that the Company exceeded its commercial target levels of insulin accumulation in safflower, its commercial plant system. - Laboratory results demonstrating that safflower-produced insulin is physically, structurally and physiologically indistinguishable from pharmaceutical-grade human recombinant insulin. - Laboratory results from competitive receptor binding assays demonstrating the functional equivalence of the Company's safflower-produced insulin to insulin reference standard. - Animal results from insulin tolerance test assays demonstrating the pharmacodynamic equivalence of safflower-derived insulin to pharmaceutical-grade insulin.
"These results validate the feasibility of our plant production
technology for the large-scale manufacture of human insulin. Plants
are a transformative platform for the production of
biopharmaceuticals. They are ideally suited to large volume
products such as human insulin, where capacity is in short supply.
Plants offer unprecedented capacity and flexibility for low-cost
biopharmaceutical manufacturing and provide by far the most
attractive economics, both in

New York, New York (PRWEB) May 29, 2013
Parker Waichman LLP, a national law firm dedicated to protecting the rights of victims injured by defective drugs and medical devices, is informing consumers that the Supreme Court of New Jersey has reconsidered a previous decision and is centralizing Mirena IUD lawsuits in Bergen County, where Superior Court Judge Brian R. Martinotti will manage them, according to a Notice to the Bar dated May 24, 2013. Published with the Notice was the May 20, 2013 Initial Order for Case Management, which is titled In Re Mirena Litigation, case number 297, pursuant to R. 4:38A.
On March 6, 2013, Parker Waichman LLP had submitted an application asking the Superior Court of New Jersey to reconsider its previous decision denying Bayer's application for centralized management of Multicounty Litigation for Mirena IUD lawsuits. The application was entitled Re: Application Pursuant to R. 4:38A ("Centralized Management of Multicounty Litigation") Joint Request for Reconsideration of Designation of Mirena® litigation as a Multicounty Litigation for Centralized Management.
The application asked the court to reconsider centralizing due to the fact that there are more than 60 lawsuits alleging injuries from the Mirena IUD, with more suits expected in the future. Parker Waichman LLP alone has filed more than 50 cases in Morris County.
"Centralization will allow the litigation to proceed more efficiently," said Matthew J. McCauley, Senior Litigation Counsel at Parker Waichman LLP. He added that centralization is a fitting solution as well, since "there are common allegations in these Mirena IUD lawsuits. Many of the women, for instance, were told that having this IUD implanted would

So I read a BBC article last night that I can't get out of my head, about caffeine being associated with miscarriage. Did ya'll read this? I saw it in a "Getting Pregnant" email bulletin I guess I'm subscribed to. Here's the link:
It says that women who drink more than 200 mg (16 oz of coffee) or more of caffeine a day have twice the risk of miscarriage. Holy. Moly. Frijole. For reals?! Cause now I'm TOTALLY thinking I drank WAY too much coffee on my business trip last week and might have caused my early m/c. I literally had like 4 cups the day before I started bleeding and even told DH that night that I was feeling super bad about how much coffee I drank that day.
I just went and measured exactly how much 8 oz of coffee is and it turns out that my Starbucks mugs that I drink out of every day are really holding 16 oz of coffee. And I drink THREE of them each morning. After I found out about the pregnancy, I dropped down to two a day, which is still double the amount of recommended caffeine. UGH. I'm feeling depressed about this and wondering if I should cut back on caffeine now and/or switch to decaf.
Did you guys cut our caffeine while TTC and now while pregnant? If so, any advice on how to cut down / eliminate it?

"It Is Only with One's Heart That One Can See Clearly": The Loss of Sight in Teresa Medeiros's the Bride and the Beast and Yours until Dawn
Schwab, Sandra, Journal of Literary and Cultural Disability Studies
How is disability, in particular visual impairment, used in romance fiction? The article explores the use of blindness and the loss of sight in two historical romances by American author Teresa Medeiros. While in The Bride and the Beast (2001) the inability to see is caused by darkness and leads to insight and (self-)knowledge, the hero of Yours until Dawn (2004) has been blinded in battle. Although the latter contains a number of similarities to Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre (1847), a comparison with the Victorian classic shows that Medeiros rejects various dominant cultural stereotypes about visual impairment and disability such as the disempowerment and perceived helplessness of blind characters.
Teresa Medeiros is a bestselling American author of historical romance with over ten million books in print in more than 17 languages.1 One of the most popular and most beloved authors in the genre, she has written 22 novels to date. Two of them explicitly deal with the loss of sight: Yours until Dawn (2004) features a blind hero, while large parts of The Bride and the Beast (2000) are set at night, and the darkness makes the heroine unable to see the face of the male protagonist. In both novels the loss of sight is indicative of a psychological problem, an inner hurdle that the characters have to overcome in the course of the story in order to reach their happy ending. On the other hand, the loss of their eyesight enables the characters to gain new insights and becomes part of a process of initiation into a better understanding of themselves and their world.
Coding in Romance Fiction
David Mitchell and Sharon Snyder view the metaphorical use of disability critically as "an opportunistic [. . .] device" (47). However, it should be pointed out that romance fiction-especially the historical and paranormal subgenres- relies heavily on the use of metaphors and specific, stereotypical plot elements, and employs them as a form of code. Indeed, much of the characters' inner world is externalized. Some of those externalizations are literally written onto the bodies of the characters (e.g. the dark, tormented hero typically sports dark hair and dark eyes), while other externalizations take the form of inanimate objects. Thus, at the end of many romance novels, the house becomes more than just a place for the protagonists to live in, it becomes code for their unity as a couple. Given the romance novel's heavy reliance on symbols and metaphors, it can come as no surprise that authors often use disability in a similar way. Yet in contrast to "high" literature, where "the immoral or negative [character] is often depicted as having a physical disability" (Davis 542), in romance it is the hero who is often physically impaired, as is the male protagonist in Yours until Dawn. In many romance novels such impairment-either in the form of a physical disability or in the form of (facial) scars-functions as a further externalization of the dark hero's inner torment.2
Among the other codes that can be found in romance fiction are narrative patterns that are modelled on mythology and fairy tales. The two novels under consideration here both fall into the category of "Beauty and the Beast" stories and thus follow one of the most popular narrative patterns in romance. Beauty and the Beast stories amplify the darkness and danger that the romance hero exudes by connecting him to the fairy tale motif of the animal bridegroom, which is underlined by frequent references to wild animals.3 The heroine's task then is to tame the "wild man": to recognize the hero's true self, and specifically to recognize his inner wound and to heal it. The act of looking plays an important role in this type of romance, for the question that poses itself to the heroine is whether she is facing a beast or a man. She cannot rely on outward appearances in order to answer this question because these are clearly deceptive. Therefore, in order to redeem the beast, she has to be able to look beyond appearances and to perceive the hero's true nature. …

I just called Nikon (Japan) customer support today, and the representative said that the production of the 63mm lens had ended last month and there's no stock there, but that wouldn't necessarily appear on its website, which I personally don't know why because there are notices on other finished/discontinued products. He said 50mm, 75mm, and other current types in the current lineup are and will still be available.
I might have to look for a used one as a backup since I'm starting to like this lens a lot.

This tooth paste works fast to help with sensitivity and fresh breath. It helps to strengthen our enamel and desensitize our teeth from pains. It's thick, cleans well, and leaves good taste. I would definitely recommend this toothpaste for people with sensitive teeth.
It has the best flavor of all the tooth pastes. I have been using this tooth paste from many years. I love this toothpaste. It is very smooth and has very good taste. I would highly recommended it for anybody.
We always seem to be running out of toothpaste so I wanted to buy a mega-load. AIM is not the number one brand but I compared its ingredients with other leading toothpastes and they seem the same. The price is good
A wonderful tooth gel. Hard to find in stores. Great, refreshing taste that doesn't burn.
