EADS Chief Says U.K. Schools Should Teach Engineering Not Latin
Robert HuttonThe U.K. should start teaching engineering at schools, with qualifications available at age 16 and 18, the chief executive officer of European Aeronautic, Defence and Space Co.'s British arm said.
Robin Southwell told reporters in London today that engineering courses at school could help encourage women to study the subject. Business Secretary Vince Cable is supportive of the idea, according to a person familiar with his thinking.
"It's only when you're applying to university that you come across engineering, and only then in specialist areas, mechanical engineering or aeronautical engineering," Southwell said. "Encourage women and girls to get involved at an early stage. Why not? My son was asked to do Latin. What a stupid, stupid thing. I'd drop Latin and do engineering. That would have a better effect creating value."
Southwell said there was also a shortage of aeronautical engineering university courses, meaning that he struggled to recruit as many people as he wanted. He said EADS runs the largest U.K. engineering apprenticeship course at its Broughton, Wales plant, where it makes wings for Airbus SAS planes.

Founder and Dictator-In-Chief of TFB. A passionate gun owner, a shooting enthusiast and totally tacti-uncool. Favorite first date location: any gun range. Steve can be contacted here.
Received the new Magpul AFG, and MS2 sling. Also picked up a Phase5Tactical EBR battery assist. Gerbers new strap cutter, and finally had a good friend get my EOD Breacher Bar (www.countycomm.com) edged and polished for me.
I am giving 2 guns this year. The wifey gets a Remington mod. 597 semi auto .22 LR complete with scope and PINK CAMO STOCK. The oldest som scores a nagant revolver and a box of ammo.
This little baby.
But it is not finished yet :(((
It's a custom made swiss Sig stgw 57 with shorter barrel,picatinny rail,grip from the Sig 550, and new stock (mine will be a magpull CTR). I'm so impatient !
I got a sword for when my Glock runs out of ammo.
Gifts I gave: Surefire flashlights, Sog knife, Peltor electric earmuffs, 511 fleece jackets and shirts, leatherman wave, and a couple of gerber folders, Wilderness Belt, and ammo.
When I come to guns/gear for Christmas, I have to treat myself. This year it was new sights (Dawson/Warren), a new Chrono, and some reloading components.
I'm giving my 21-year-old son a Taurus 94 (.22) to help him develop trigger-finger strength and get in some cheap practice before he enters the police academy.
I got a brandy new MSAR STG-E4. It is awesome.
Got myself several hundred rounds of ammo. Only right winger in a family of Dems, so I have a feeling "santa" isn't a 2nd amendment fan.
I got the rest of everything I need to do some reloading. I also got my sister a couple of pairs of wool socks. Conveniently enough, the socks fit nicely into a 100 round value-pack box of Winchester .40sw and so I shoved them in and wrapped up the box…does that count?
I gave myself 2000 rds of .40S&W. Gift that keeps on giving throughout the year.
I sent my older brother a copy of AGI's video on customizing Glocks. He's been considering buying a compact and getting his carry permit after owning a full sized model for a year or two now.
I bought myself a Magpul UBR stock for my primary AR, after almost a year waiting for them to be in stock.
I went to print something on my wife's PC about 3 weeks ago and she had the K-VAR web site up, so I have a feeling I'm getting some parts for a project gun.
My wife is pretty awesome about gifts. She once gave me a Benelli for Valentine's Day.
Dad got a great deal on a WASR-10 and gave that to me. I was also given a SOG Powerlock multitool by the misses. A good buddy of mine is an avid shooter of his 8mm Mauser so I bought him a couple of boxes of ammo for it.
I got a Center point 3-9X32 scope for my .22, and (If the check comes,) A R870 20 GA.
A Benelli for Valentine's? That ones a keeper.
I got myself a Sig 522. It's super fun.
This year, we went kinda crazy on firearms.
For myself, with my re-enlistment bonus:
18″ 6.5 Grendel AR
Springfield TRP 1911
For the wife:
Taurus PT140 MilPro
Mossberg 500A
For my younger brother:
Glock 30
Think that covers most of it, there's a bunch of accessories in there.
I received a Sig 226 Equinox 40 Cal. It ts a beautiful gun. I can't wait to shoot. Thanks Baby!
My new handgun, s Springfield Armory XDM 9mm 3.8″ handgun. Can't wait to get the rest of the gear tomorrow.
Didn't get any actual firearms for christmas… but did get some accessories.
3.5 connector for my glock
decal grips
tons of 9mm
and a good bit of 5.56
lots of targets
My 12 year old daughter received a Remington 870 express compact. 20 Guage, realtree camo stocks. She wanted pink camo, but she has a birthday in a few months. Maybe a pink .22 for that.
Out of a very extensive list of accessories on my Christmas list, just a set of Caldwell shooting bags for me. Looks like I'll be doing a bit of post-Xmas shopping this year…
This year, I got my older brother a 75 round mag for his AK, and my wife got me a 90 rounder for my AR! The 90 rounder makes the rifle awkward to hold, but I haven's fired it yet. I can't wait. Ever since I became a gun nut, I've told my wife that she only needs to buy me rounds and mags from now until my trigger finger falls off! lol
Merry Christmas, all.
-J. Thomas Hunter
My brother received a SIG P250 in 45ACP from his wife for Christmas. So my sister gave him a holster and I gave him a double magazine pouch. Of course neither fit since nothing on the planet is labeled correctly for a SIG P250 in 45ACP.
MagPul AFG.
I bought myself an m11 smg, my wife bought herself a new kitchen in retaliation, best Xmas ever.
I got an Outers cleaning kit, a holster for my CZ-52, and a rear sight for me M1 Carbine that only had a scope mount. To treat myself I got a PPSH-41. The only gun related things I gave out were Magpull magazines.
Got myself the new SIG 238 – the 1911 style 380. Shoots great!
Got myself a new Eotech XPS-2 for the AR..
Got me a Ruger LCP. It's freaking sweet and I won't be lugging my Glock 22 around much longer!
Got a Glock 20SF from my Dad.
I gave the wife a new G26, and lots of ammo. Took her to the range, and she gives me a run for my money.
She gave me a new (and fully loaded) MAC90 (Kommiefornia or it would have been an actual AK) to play with.
It was a good year.
Oh, and I almost forgot, gave a good friend a SOG Tomahawk too!
I gave my nephews a Marlin .22 LR 981T bolt action rifle, which has a tube magazine because kids would lose detachable mags and so they don't get all "spray and pray" with a semi-auto. Got my best friend a boresnake for his .40 cal Glock, gave his kid a reloading manual. I gave myself a Chrony Beta paid for out of the black budget and a box of Hornady 158 gr .357 XTPs. I also got the Red Dawn commemorative edition. (That movie, as well as No County for Old Men, was shot in my wife's hometown of Las Vegas NM). My son (who shot my M1903A3 for a guest blog post) got a new zoom lens and is looking forward to hunter education, squirrel hunting, fly fishing and photo safaris with me this year when I'm out hunting. Not bad for a liberal Democrat, I'd say.
My Kahr PM9 I ordered in Oct. arrived. Received gift cards to Academy, useful for various and sundry items.
I also received a box of 9mm and 2 boxes of .223 from my in-laws. The best part of that gift is the story that came with it.
My Step-Father-in-law "SFIL" (divorce and remarriage always make great relatives) went to Dick's to pick up the ammo. He is 60 years old and served in the army in Vietnam where he carried a M-60 for the first part of his tour and then got the joy of being a rifleman for the remainder. He is about 6 foot 3 ,with white hair, and has a thick Tennessee accent.
After getting the 9mm from the kid behind the counter the following exchange took place regarding the .223.
Clerk: Anything else I can get you?
SFIL: I need some .223. Now why is that box $9.99 and that box over there [pointing] $23.00?
Clerk: Oh sir, these are full metal jacket [referring to the $9.99 box] they are just target loads. These over here [indicating the $23.00 box] now they are soft points. You'd use these for hunting. You wouldn't use that FMJ stuff for hunting.
SFIL: Oh really? Back in 1965 I shot about 45,000 rounds of that full metal jacket stuff and I assure you…I was hunting.
I got invited to Christmas dinner at the local gunshopowners house. I'm good friends with him and his son, and his wife wanted more warm bodies at the table. I think they also wanted to see how their daughter and I would get along.
I got ham and baklava, and sitting around the gunroom after the meal, I found a Vz-58 mag that Junior sold me for five bucks.
Good Christmas, but not as good as Christmas Eve, where I baked pies, then fried up a sirloin tip steak and ate it while watching starwars.
Got my dad's SIG 210 which he used as an officer. 😀
Gave my fiance an engraved Sig Sauer P232 It says in latin on the slide "A token of my love to protect you in life."
I received a Trigger Happy Mfg. TH-15 (AR-15) flattop with Simmons 6.5-20x50mm glass….

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH , EDUCATION AND WELFARE Public Health Service Health Services Administration Indian Health Service Rockville, Maryland
INDIAN HEALTH SERVICE CIRCULAR No. 76-08
Effective Date: August 11, 1976
The Department published a regulation in the Federal Register on July 31, 1975, and the Public Health Service published a similar regulation in the Federal Register on August 15, 1975, which establishes a policy on the amounts to be paid for drugs by the Agencies of the Public Health Service. Medicaid (SRS) and Medicare (SSA) have similar regulations.
The regulation applies to all programs - contract, grant, direct - in which Federal funds are used to pay in part or in whole for drugs from pharmacists, physicians, hospitals, nursing homes, wholesalers, or manufacturers.
For drug products that are available from one source only, the Department will furnish cost data to be used in arriving at or estimating an acquisition cost. These data will be used to establish acquisition costs for drugs. Most states have had acquisition costs in their Medicaid programs, and the Department data will assist the States in keeping the prices current. Since the States already have a mechanism for developing acquisition costs, the programs may wish to obtain acquisition costs for drugs from the State Medicaid programs instead of developing their own acquisition costs. It is strongly recommended that the State acquisition costs be utilized.
It is the policy of the Secretary that program funds which are utilized for the acquisition of drugs be expended in the most economical manner feasible.
The maximum amount which may be expended from program funds for the acquisition of any drug shall be the lowest of:
An exception to the Maximum Allowable Cost will be made when the physician states in writing that a drug made by a particular manufacturer is medically necessary for that patient.
When compensation for pharmacy services is included in some other amount payable to the provider as in a hospital, no separate dispensing fee will be recognized.
The lower of MAC or EAC will apply for direct purchases.
The above policy applies to contracts, grants, and direct patient care programs when Federal funds are used to pay for all or a part of the cost of drugs
Each Area will develop procedures for implementing and reviewing their programs for adherence to the policy and forward a copy to Chief, Pharmacy Branch, IHS. The auditing procedure may be by computer, random sampling technique of charges and payments, or another accepted auditing practice.
The audit will include a review of the exceptions requested by physicians to ensure that requests for such exceptions are in the prescribing physician's handwriting.
This policy is effective August 26, 1976.

China steps up stimulus spending at local level |
By Elaine Kurtenbach ,AP Saturday, July 28, 2012, 12:09 am TWN |
SHANGHAI -- China is stepping up stimulus spending at the local level seeking to counter its economic slowdown, with one inland city announcing plans for a whopping US$130 billion in investment projects.
In announcing earlier this week plans for dozens of projects, officials in the central Chinese city of Changsha said increased investment was the "inevitable choice" to counter sluggish growth. A notice on the city government's website said investments would total 829.2 billion yuan (US$130 billion) but gave no specific details, referring only to services and investment projects. As part of the government's "mini-stimulus" program, several other cities have disclosed plans to subsidize housing purchases or otherwise act to support the construction spending that remains the lifeblood of China's economy. China's economic growth slowed to a three-year low of 7.6 percent in the second quarter, prompting Beijing to launch various piecemeal initiatives meant to fight off the slump. They include 66 billion yuan (US$10 billion) to build affordable housing and 26.5 billion yuan to subsidize sales of energy-efficient appliances. The government began reversing lending and investment curbs intended to cool inflation and an overheated economy late last year, after demand for China's exports plunged. "Monetary and fiscal stimulus measures are evidently restarting the investment cycle, which will drive production in the near term," Alaistair Chan, an economist for Moody's Analytics, said in a research note. He pointed to increased or renewed investments in railway, water, gas and electricity projects. Such policies will support a "soft landing" for the economy, Chan said, though longer-term growth will be more subdued than in the past. "The years of better than 8 percent annual expansion are over, in our view," Chan said. He forecasts growth at about 7.8 percent in 2013. Nanjing has said it plans to subsidize home purchases by some first time buyers. Other cities have also stepped up investment in public housing, alternative energy, petrochemicals and other areas. It is unclear if Changsha's ambitious blueprint will be carried out fully. Many Chinese cities are already saddled with massive debt burdens from lavish spending in 2008-2009 meant to ward off the impact of the global crisis. Changsha is the capital of Hunan province, a region known best for its fireworks, fiery cuisine and as the birthplace of revolutionary leader Mao Zedong. It now aspires to be a hub for high technology. A recent survey by the China Academy of Social Sciences ranked the city fourth in competitiveness after San Jose, California, Hong Kong and the eastern Chinese city of Suzhou. State media reported that the city's GDP per capita ranked third among China's provincial capitals. Cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Fuzhou in the southeast are speeding up construction of expressways and subway projects. Other cities have received approval to upgrade hospitals, water treatment and other public facilities.

Burlington doubles 1Q losses
January 29, 2001
,GREENSBORO, NC -Weakened by stalled-out sales and thinning margins, troubled textiles titan Burlington Industries Inc. more than doubled its first-quarter losses, to $11.5 million from $5.3 million the previous year.
Taking a bite out of the top line, interior furnishings sales, including home fashions, upholstery fabric and mattress ticking, dropped off at a daunting double-digit pace, falling by 12.3 percent, to $108.1 million from $123.3 million a year ago, a $15 million shortfall.
Putting earnings under pressure, average gross margin eroded by 390 basis points, to 7.9 percent from 11.8 percent a year ago. Providing some relief, though, the company aggressively whittled down its costs by 10 basis points, to 8.7 percent from 8.8 percent last year. Measured in absolute dollars, costs were cut by 3.5 percent, to $31.6 million from $32.7 million, a cash savings of $1.2 million.
Putting another big dent in the bottom line were customers who couldn't pay their bills, and the company's provision for doubtful accounts increased more than six-fold, by 534.6 percent, to $1.7 million from $269,000 a year ago. Adding an extra layer of pressure, interest expense shot up by 14.4 percent, to $17.9 million from $15.6 million, a jump of $2.2 million.
George Henderson III, chairman and ceo, said: "We entered fiscal year 2001 with aggressive action plans and a resolve to improve the financial performance of the company. We are pleased with our progress, having achieved lower than expected losses and significant working capital improvements, while reducing debt by approximately $22 million during the quarter."
Douglas McGregor, president and coo, said, "Our restructuring plans are on target, and our capacity reductions will be complete by the end of the March quarter."

Deep upper back pain, particularly if it is associated with tingling in the arms and hands, is often an irritated nerve and it's not primarily a muscular condition.
The upper limb tension test and Spurling's sign are used, together with reflexes and patterns of altered sensitivity to make the diagnosis.
The villain of the peace, disturbing your nights and causing a deep constant ache, is often an irritated nerve supply to the rhomboid muscles which are pure C5; or the levator scapular which is also mainly the fifth cervical, but also with contributions from the third and fourth.
They are innervated by the dorsal scapula nerve that comes from the mid neck; specifically the C5 root.
The dorsal scapular nerve supplies the upper back muscles.
Neuro anatomy is a difficult subject so just scroll down if you're really not interested in the following paragraph. Sorry, but there's always a tidbit to stretch you. Notice how this nerve complex lies in the groove just behind the collarbone.
Notice the two terms root and ramus below.
Deep upper back pain is difficult to manage for a number of reasons.
Deep upper back pain can be very difficult to diagnose and manage.
The dorsal scapular nerve is primarily from C5, being sensory and motor; it emerges from the "dorsal ramus" seen below, supplying the upper back. The "ventral ramus" supplies the arm.
There are two "roots"; one is sensory, the dorsal root, bringing information in from the fingers tips for example; pain, touch, position sense, mechano receptors and so on.
The other "root" is motor, the ventral root, taking information from the "grey matter" in the spinal cord to the muscles, for example. If you want to raise your arm, the stimulus to the muscle is relayed along the ventral root.
It's these "roots" that are affected by a slipped disc, or degenerative change, or subluxations in the spine. Cervical facet syndrome ....
Tingling in arms and hands gives vital clues as to which nerve root is involved in the deep upper back pain.
Thumb and forefinger tingling? Then the dorsal nerve "root" of the C6 nerve root is being irritated. Can't do a press up? Then it's probably the motor "root" of C7 that is pinched because the triceps muscle is weak. Trivial details for you, vital stuff for your chiropractor.
Then the two roots join (ignore that bump on the dorsal root) to form a "spinal nerve." (Ignore the white and gray ramuses or rami too).
Then the spinal nerve divides into two "rami". Singular "ramus." It's the ventral ramus of C5 that goes on to form (in part, continuing to form the Median and Ulnar, and other, nerves that supply the arm) the Dorsal Scapular nerve. The nerve that innervates our two muscles, the Rhomboids and the Levator Scapular.
Inter scalene triangle is bordered by the anterior and middle scalene muscles (in red), and the first rib below (grey).
("inter" = between - between two scalene muscles)
From there, the Dorsal Scapular nerve enters the Inter Scalene Triangle and, instead of passing through it, penetrates through the belly of the Medial (middle) Scalene muscle, one of the boundaries of the triangle.
After penetrating the medial scalene, the dorsal scapular nerve descends, piercing the Levator, and sending off branches to innervate that muscle, and proceeding to supply the rhomboids.
Anywhere along this path, the nerve root, or as it passes through the inter scalene triangle, through the medial scalene muscle, or whilst piercing the levator scapular, there is the potential for irritation; deep upper back pain.
What medical causes should be included?
Let's admit they aren't common, but they must be considered. The only patient that I recall to appear at my clinic with deep upper back pain caused by lung cancer was my father. It had already been diagnosed and surprisingly his last days were greatly helped by gentle chiropractic treatment of his deep upper back pain. The cause, not subluxations, but referred pain from the cancerous tissue in his lung; smokers beware.
Secondary cancers, particularly from a primary breast cancer, to the ribs are always a concern in Chiropractic clinics, even years after breast CA patients have been declared clear.
The rule with cancer is, change your lifestyle or it will probably come back. There's a fine line between what I call a health nut neurosis and a determination to completely change your way of life.
Others? I'm sure there are plenty, but lets be realistic: when you hear hoofbeats, don't think zebras! Pancreatic cancer causes deep upper back pain, heart attack causes neck and jaw, back and arm pain. An aortic aneurism... this is an interesting web page: Pathophysiology of Atherosclerosis ...
Right, now to the heart of this page. Firstly, I'll list the thoughts that come to my head:
In short, there are a lot of possible causes of deep upper back pain.
The C5 nerve root, affected for example by a slipped disc in neck supplies sensory innervation to the skin on the side of the upper arm extending down the lower arm towards, but not including the thumb; and muscular innervation to numerous muscles, but usually the biceps and the biceps reflex would be tested.
The deltoid is another muscle often tested for C5, but truth is that there has often been a low grade irritation of the nerve (axillary nerve, C5/C6) leading resulting in painful shoulder pathology such as rotator cuff syndrome ... resulting in pain inhibition during testing.
Because both the biceps and deltoid (and all the other muscles of C5, bar rhomboids) are supplied by C5 AND C6, true neurogenic weakness is not common.
SAR sign
A key sign is the so-called Shoulder Abduction Relief sign in which relief is obtained by placing the hand on the head. It takes the stretch off the nerve root.
ULLT test
Conversely, the Upper Limb Tension Test (a test you can do at home) places increasing stress on the nerve root producing tightness, pain and tingling in the arm.
The upper limb tension tests confirms whether there is a pinched nerve causing the deep upper back pain.
Spurling's sign will often be positive too; turning to the same side, and then looking up, reproduces the pain.
C6, C7 and C8 nerve root lesions
These roots are not likely to cause upper back pain, but rather pain and tingling in arms and hands, and especially the lower arm and fingers.
T1, T2, T3, T4 nerve root lesions
A T1 nerve root is a primary candidate of suspicion when dealing with deep upper back pain, usually extending in this instance down the inner arm, and sometimes to the chest.
Again the SAR and ULTT tests will be positive.
Specific muscle weakness in the hand will be sought by your chiropractor. In particular, opposition of the thumb and pinkie, and those that you would use to squeeze your fingers together, the PAD myos, and apart, the DABs.
Deep upper back pain, and tingling down the inner arm, and weakness in the hand equals a T1 nerve root lesion; or a C5 dorsal scapular problem. Only a careful and thorough examination can work it out.
Cervical facet syndrome is probably the most commonly treated cervical spine condition in chiropractic clinics; it may be well the cause of your deep upper back pain.
Cervical compression and Spurling's tests
Both the C5 and T1 lesions, if severe, will produce radiating pain when turning the head to the side of pain and then looking up. If extra downward pressure is exerted by your chiropractor, then it's called Spurling's test.
In short, does turning to the same side produce deep upper back pain and/ or tingling and pain in the arm?
Another series of tests that your chiropractor would do are the cervical compression tests; this is a fun page, don't miss it!
Thoracic outlet syndrome is an oft missed cause of tingling in the arms and hands.
I won't write much here as there is extensive coverage of the Thoracic Outlet Syndrome at this Chiropractic Help website. The key sign is that elevation of the arm, instead of relieving the symptoms, makes them worse. Both the artery and the bundle of nerves called the "brachial plexus" are irritated primarily by a subluxated first rib.
It is diagnosed using a difficult examination known as Adson's test.
I receive many questions at Chiropractic Help. It might be help for a spinal condition, but it could also be about a failed Carpal Tunnel operation, or some such thing.
I will do that by answering your questions personally, but it will be converted to a Web Page so others can benefit from your questions. Omit your surname if you like.
However, do understand that, in the main, I'm going to be directing you (should it be pertinent) to a Chiropractor in your neck of the woods. I'll respond to all reasonable inquiries, but please be specific, and give some details: which fingers, what increases the pain, and relieves it, injuries, do xrays show anything, does placing your arm on your head relieve or increase tingling in the arm... without these sort of details, I'm unable to give a sensible answer.
Stop! Are you about to start typing on your smartphone? The chances are good you are wasting your time and won't get a reply. Google downgrades sites that use not-so-smart grammar.
Please also don't write from your blackberry or iphone. Many many people will be reading what you write, and I don't want gobbledygook at chiropractic help. It lowers the tone of the whole site, and Google is now downgrading sites with poor grammar and spelling. I just won't answer.
There is no charge for this service, however if you find my answer useful, you might like to consider purchasing my latest book, Stones in my Clog. Gems, both funny and healthful, from the life and work of a Chiropractor. It's only $2.99. Stones in my Clog ...

I will never give or sell your e-mail address to anyone.

Interesting challenges of the day
1. Mr S is a 76 year old man with neck pain of some 9 months duration. Luckily, most of the discomfort is upper cervical which is only rarely arthritic; his lower cervical spine is a degenerative mess that I've left alone. After seven treatments his pain and stiffness is 50 percent better, and he's happy in the circumstances. He can sleep through the night now and that makes a huge difference.
2. Mr P is 32 year old man with very severe lower back pain radiating to the big toe which is 30 percent numb. He had an episode three weeks ago, took anti inflammatories and was soon better as is typical of the medial disc herniation. But before it healed, after a trivia it came roaring back, much worse. The characteristic crossed sign was evident; sitting in a chair, straightening the right leg provoked severe left back pain and tingling in the leg. He's doing well.
3. Severe lower back pain is scary; just ask Mrs P. Just watching her get out of the car I she was in trouble; she had a slipped disc at L4 making her lean towards the opposite side; luckily she had no pain in the leg. Despite family pressure that this was far too severe for a chiropractor, she persevered. Within five days she was standing upright, and after two weeks almost painfree.
Despite a hectic job, she wisely took my advice and stayed home for what I call exercising bed rest.
4. Mr S has had lower back, groin and back of thigh and calf pain for fourth months.
He has a pincer deformity in the hip causing the stabs in the groin, and a degenerative facet causing the sciatica. Both are responding well to chiropractic and he's well pleased; sixty five percent better after three treatments.
5. Mr T is a wise man; he's taken a warning TIA seriously and has lost 15 pounds, and has at least as much again to lose. A change to a low starch diet and half hour daily walk has made the difference; but the walking is making his foot and back miserable. The expensive orthotic is hopeless; luckily his hips and back are fine, but he needs a simple heel lift.
6. I too have had serious lower back issues, luckily fixed by my own chiropractor; so I too have to do my exercises, take care when lifting supers full of honey, gardening and using the chainsaw. Regaining the function of your spine is just as important as the pain.
7. My own granddaughter, only 7 is hypermobile giving her pelvic, knee and ankle issues. Xrays show a mildly dysplastic hip. Years ago we would have called it growing pains. She too regularly needs chiropractic care and luckily responds well. Increased range of motion is more difficult than too stiff in my opinion. Our care is for kids too.
8. This 65 year old lady is a serious gardener; every day she is bending, lifting and digging for 2 to 3 hours a day. It regularly catches her in the sacroiliac joint, so she has a treatment once a month that sorts it out. She does her lower back exercises faithfully.
9. This 88 year old lady is an inspiration; every day she is busy in the community. With a nasty scoliosis she manages very well with a chiropractic adjustment every six weeks and exercises faithfully done.
10. Mr X is a 71 year old retired man who wants to continue with maintenance care every six to eight weeks; he had suffered from two years of lower back pain when he first came a year ago. He has no discomfort now after 8 chiropractic treatments, but is aware that danger lurks.
11. Mrs C has been having severe headaches, and taking a lot of analgesics. It's a non complicated upper cervical facet syndrome, and she's doing well.
12. Mr D is a 38 old year man with chronic shoulder pain after a rotator cuff tear playing cricket. It responded well to treatment, but he knows he must do his exercises every day; for two years he couldn't sleep on that shoulder.
13. Mr D, a 71 year old man, has a severe ache in the shoulder and midback since working above his head. Trapped nerve tests are negative but he has advanced degenerative joints of Luschka; after just two treatments he is 50 percent better. Can we reach 90?
And so the day goes; chiropractors shouldn't be treating the elderly most medical sites state but that's so much bunkum.

Your own unresolved problem. Pose a question
Knowing that up to 70% of the time the correct diagnosis is made with no examination, no special tests, no xrays, but just from the history, there's a fair chance I can add some insight to your unresolved problem. But at least 30% of the time, I may be quite wrong! Give plenty of detail if you want a sensible reply.

More questions from our readers

We can learn from our mistakes, but how willing are we to talk about them? And what happens when those making mistakes are physicians, who are often expected to be infallible?
A new University of Iowa study shows that most general practice doctors in teaching hospitals are willing to discuss their own patient care errors with colleagues, but about one in four do not. At the same time, nearly nine of 10 doctors said that if they wanted to talk about a mistake, they knew a colleague who would be a supportive listener. The findings are reported in the Oct. 1 issue of the Journal of Medical Ethics.
The results suggest that it is important to ensure that learning occurs not just in the person who made the mistake but also among their peers, said the study's lead author, Lauris Kaldjian, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of internal medicine at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine.
"Discussing medical errors can be a form of professional learning for doctors. Mistakes should be considered shared commodities and used for all they're worth," said Kaldjian, who also is director of the college's Program in Bioethics and Humanities. "The findings also point to some challenges for physicians seeking emotional support after making an error."
The study results were based on surveys of 338 faculty and resident physicians at teaching hospitals in the United States. Previously published findings by Kaldjian and colleagues, based on the same data set, showed that doctors' actual communication of medical errors to hospitals and patients seems to occur less than it should when compared to physicians' positive attitudes about communicating such errors.
The two earlier studies also found that the more serious the outcome or harm from a hypothetical error, the more likely a doctor said they would communicate it to patients or hospitals. Similarly, the current study used hypothetical scenarios to reveal the likelihood of doctors discussing an error that results in no harm at 77 percent, minor harm at 87 percent, and major harm at 94 percent.
Kaldjian pointed out there is much value in sharing all errors. "Sometimes you make a mistake and nothing happens. Other times, something bad happens," he said. "But in both cases, we need to focus on the mistake because near-misses -- where no harm was done -- are also valuable learning tools."
The most harmful types of errors trigger automatic institutional reviews. However, other errors may not. "Along with helping improve patient care, discussing both types of medical errors can provide important opportunities for learning and emotional support for physicians," Kaldjian said. "However, the formal settings in which shared learning takes place are unlikely to be optimal for providing the individual support needed by the physician who made the mistake.
"Physicians can go through a lot of turmoil when they make a mistake, even if it hasn't caused serious harm to a patient. "While there are some formal group settings in the profession for learning from mistakes, emotional support may require the privacy and reassurance that are found in one-on-one conversations with trusted colleagues," he added.
More than half of the physicians in the study (57 percent) said they had tried at least once to promote the value of discussing errors by discussing one of their own errors in front of students or physicians in training.
"It's encouraging that physicians try to be role models, especially for medical students and younger physicians, and some hospitals even have peer-support teams to help physicians in the aftermath of an error, though such teams appear to be rare," Kaldjian said.
Kaldjian also noted that doctors who consider themselves their "own worst critic" and do not discuss their errors with others lose out on additional perspectives.
"There can be wisdom and comfort in the words of our colleagues, especially when we have reason to trust their insights," he said. "Medical science also encourages an investigative attitude about errors and can motivate us to be as objective as possible about errors and their circumstances without denying the profound need for emotional support."
Overall, Kaldjian said, increased discussion of errors amongst medical professionals is extremely important for professional learning and emotional support. Such discussions may also help physicians encourage each other to disclose errors to patients as part of patient care and to report them to institutions to improve patient safety.
The investigation involved researchers with the Center for Research in the Implementation of Innovative Strategies in Practice at the Department of Iowa City Veterans Affairs Medical Center; Hospital of St. Raphael in New Haven, Conn.; Yale University School of Medicine; and Penn State College of Medicine and Hershey Medical Center.

"The Walking Dead" is less than a week away from its Season 4 midseason return and there are plenty of unanswered questions still to be resolved. While some of the big ones remain mysteries, here are some new teases that should shed light on the upcoming eight episode arc.
Entertainment Weekly did a series of interviews with Norman Reedus, Danai Gurira and Andrew Lincoln that discuss where Season 4 picks up in episode 9, "After." Here are some spoilery teases from the interview:
Secondary characters will come to the forefront. "I think there's a different tone to the back eight, and I think you're going to see a lot of characters that you haven't seen under the microscope as much all have their chance to shine," Lincoln says. "Because they're apart from each other you realize that without each other their family is dying. It's almost like vignettes; it's like character studies in all of the characters. The underpinning of all of this is the great hope they can find each other again."
Daryl assumes the worst. "Whether [Beth and Daryl] stay together is yet to be seen. Everything is gone. Everyone is on the run," Reedus teases. "Everything has just come crashing to a halt. He assumes everyone is dead. He's got to start over. Everyone is in a really bad place right now."
Michonne will take Hershel's death very hard. "The loss is pretty extreme. So the question is, how does she metabolize this? How does she handle it?" Gurira teases.
Some of the characters who meet up will be fun pairings. "There are some very witty pairings is what I will say," Lincoln says. "Really, really witty."
These next eight episodes are Reedus' favorite. "I will say that the back eight are in my opinion are our best eight episodes yet. The storylines, the acting, and the directing, and the writing are top of our food chain," he teases. "I'm so excited for people to see these episodes. You get an understanding of why certain characters are who they are, why they fight for what they fight for, or why they don't fight. You really get an in-depth look at characters like you've never seen before."
With the group splintered, "The Walking Dead" has a whole new tone. "We're not functioning in an ensemble-like way anymore because the group is fractured," Gurira says. "What I love about that is that looking at it from a macro-perspective it is fantastic storytelling-wise because in the little research that I've done I learned that one of the key elements of war is displacement. People are caught up in the concern of where people are and what happened to them and not having any way of finding out. That's such a rich, authentic component of what really happens in a war zone. So I think that's really thrilling that's going to be rippling through the back eight."
Baby Judith isn't coming back. "She's gone," Lincoln confirms. "I think, as you've seen in the episode, she's gone. That's it. That's the feeling for Rick and Carl."
Daryl is going to get a "big episode." "There's a big Daryl episode coming up soon," Reedus says. "It was such a grueling, hard shoot, but it came out really well. There's a couple other episodes based around other characters who do some of the best work you've seen them do. I can't wait for people to see these back eight."
Rick is at his lowest point in episode 9. "In episode nine, you'll see a man who is frightened for the first time in a long, long time. He's frightened not for himself but for his son because he's weak," Lincoln explains. "He's very, very weak and that makes him belligerent and aggressively challenging towards his son because he's scared. So he's physically weak, spiritually he's lost, mentally he doesn't quite know where to begin because he's just seeing his home demolished. He's in the worst place he's been."
"The Walking Dead" returns with its final eight episodes of Season 4 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on AMC.

Enbridge says pipeline safe after NTSB blasts company
CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) - Enbridge Inc, stung by a harsh rebuke from regulators over a 2010 spill that dumped more than 20,000 barrels of crude into a Michigan river system, has stepped up inspections and is confident its pipeline network is safe, the company's incoming chief executive said on Wednesday.
Company President Al Monaco, slated to replace Pat Daniel as chief executive later this year, said Enbridge has boosted spending on safety inspections since the July 2010 spill in the Kalamazoo River.
"We'll be spending in the area of $400 million, which is ... probably double what was being spent (prior to the spill)," he told reporters following a speech to the TD Securities Energy Conference.
The breach raised concern about the safety of pipelines in North America, including Enbridge's planned oil sands pipeline from Alberta to the British Columbia coast, as well as TransCanada Corp's Keystone pipeline in the United States.
Enbridge operates North America's largest oil-pipeline system, which carries the bulk of Canada's crude exports to the United States.
Deborah Hersman, chairman of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, said on Tuesday that Enbridge's employees "performed like Keystone Kops" after a complete breakdown in safety measures allowed the pipeline to spill crude unchecked for 17 hours.
"I'm not going to comment on the subjective nature of that moniker, but the key thing that we do right now is take the learnings ... we've had in this process," Monaco said. "We haven't just been sitting around for the last two years."
The NTSB found that Enbridge failed to accurately assess the integrity of the pipeline, including analyzing cracks that required repair, and its employees failed to follow procedures.
"Following the first alarm, Enbridge controllers restarted Line 6B twice, pumping an additional 683,000 gallons of crude oil, or 81 percent of the total amount spilled, through the ruptured pipeline," the agency said. Continued...

Brave Fabian, 8, loses cancer battle
PUBLISHED: 14:00 10 September 2009 | UPDATED: 14:39 11 August 2010
A YOUNG boy has tragically lost his battle to beat brain cancer, and died peacefully in hospital.
A YOUNG boy has tragically lost his battle to beat brain cancer, and died peacefully in hospital.
Fabian Burke-Georgiou was just seven years old when he was diagnosed with an aggressive brain stem glioma tumour in October last year.
The Muswell Hill community rallied to support the Coldfall Primary School student and his family, forming the Fight for Fabian campaign.
More than £50,000 was raised to pay for pioneering treatment from American specialists, but Fabian died aged eight on Monday, August 17.He had already undergone three rounds of chemotherapy.
His dad and mum, Wayne and Zorzia Burke-Georgiou, issued the following statement: "We are truly grateful for the kindness and generosity shown to us by the residents and businesses in Muswell Hill and are especially grateful for the support received from Coldfall Primary School. The past 10 months have been both emotional and draining, but the strength and bravery shown by Fabian kept us going.
"We want to thank those who have donated their time, money and support. We are proud our son touched so many lives."
His funeral was held on August 26, and a special assembly in memory of Fabian is planned at Coldfall Primary School, Coldfall Avenue, Muswell Hill.
Football-mad Fabian was a dedicated Manchester United fan and "loved" attending a fundraising match set up by Coldfall parents last year to kick start the campaign to pay for his treatment.
A flurry of events followed, including a black tie fundraiser attended by a host of A-list stars such as Bob Hoskins.

Magnifying Lamps for Tying
Although I'm no youngster anymore I'm lukcy that I still have good eyesight. Despite this claim I had to purchase a magnifying lamp last year when tying trout flies. What a difference!
I opted for the $30 big clamp-on incandescent deal like they use in drafting shops. It does the trick but it's hot, heavy, doesn't stay in position well, and gets in the way. I was wondering if anyone has some insight from experiences on this topic now that trout season is arriving in north america? |
RE:Magnifying Lamps for Tying
This problem seems to get to us all sooner or later even if we can see for miles the up close stuff gets to be a problem. I went originally to the magnifying lamp system but found all the problems as mentioned. Still use it from time to time.
I purchased what we willcall a binocular magnifier which fits like a head band. It will fit over glasses flips up, flips down for use. These are used mostly by jewelers. They are equiped with various grades of magnification. Works for Me saltRon |
RE:Magnifying Lamps for Tying
Hi! This is Ron from Monomoy (finally!). I would be totally lost tying trout flies without an Opti-Visor. It's basically a plastic headband with a hinged flap holding a lens. You can see it in Hunter's Fly Tyer's Catalog 2001 on page 33. I use the #3 lens which magnifies 1.5X. I have been tying 22's without too much trouble. I've had mine since the mid 80's and have never found anything better. I would have brought mine to UFT to show you but I don't think I will be able to make the next meeting. Let me know if you have any questions. Ron |
RE:Magnifying Lamps for Tying
Hey Ron... where've you been. Did Juro and I put to much pressure on you at the last UFT meeting. I look forward to hearing from you more and fishing with you at North Monomoy. Take Care. John
RE:Magnifying Lamps for Tying
Never had much luck with magnifying lamps. Always had difficulty with depth of field. Even though I could see the fly quite clearly, never knew how to manipulate my fingers. Takes getting use to. The magnifying visors work great as noted, but I just use a pair of inexpensive magnified reading glasses. |
RE:Magnifying Lamps for Tying
Hello John! I've been waiting for spring to arrive like everyone else. I'll be around, I promise. I will probably miss the next UFT meeting, though.
The reading glasses are a good (and cheaper) alternative to the Opti-Visor. I have become a chronic reading glass user over the past two years or so but I still use the visor when I tie. Perhaps my reading glasses (1.25 or 1.5 power) are not strong enough but I prefer the magnification and depth of field with the visor for tying. Ron |
RE:Magnifying Lamps for Tying
Ron, what is interesting for me is that I need the reading glasses to read.. and I wear contacts to see far.. but when I tye I take my contacts out and tie without any aid. I only need the reading glasses to see close for reading. This is a new development in my seeing. A doctor told me that if I never needed reading glases a couple years ago while wearing contacts.. my eyes could be improving. I don't know ,I will see how this develops.

Challenger Returns "Home"
On March 22, Georgia's agriculture community gathered to celebrate the Georgia Agriculture Awareness Day. During the day the largest tractors used in the state were on display at the state capitol. AGCO was especially proud to participate in this event, since Georgia is the home state of AGCO's corporate headquarters. The Challenger MT955C, which was recently parked right in front of the headquarters building, was sent to represent AGCO during this celebration.
The Agriculture Awareness Day is part of the Eighth Annual Agricultural Week in Georgia.
Georgia ranks first in the nation in the production of broiler chickens, peanuts, pecans and rye according to the USDA Agricultural Statistics Service. Georgia ranks second in production of cotton, cotton seed, fresh market cucumbers, fresh market snap beans, rye and spring onions. Georgia is also a leading producer of cantaloupes, sweet corn, bell peppers, watermelons, blueberries, peaches, squash and cabbage. Source: Sunbeltagnet.com
How does your community celebrate agriculture? How do you show your support or get involved?

I agree totally!!!! If someone had total me a few months ago how much work it was i wouldn't have believed them. i also did my homework on the aquarium setup but was still surprised when we actually started. i am lucky tho, coz my husband did the "plumbing" for my 2nd tank & that helped a lot coz we could do a bit of brainstorming for each problem we faced.
to people who are considering a marine tank i would say, "Do you homework!!!!" it is so rewarding but only if you're not crying coz your fish etc are dying!"It's better to burn out than fade away!!!

Pitchfork Protest Goes to Richmond
Farmers, Property Rights Activists Rally for Boneta Bill
Contact: Mark Fitzgibbons,
, 703-408-3775,
[email protected]
PARIS, Va., Jan. 26, 2013 /
Christian Newswire
/ -- Farmers and property rights activists will gather in Richmond, VA on Monday, January 28 to hold the second 'Pitchfork Protest' on behalf of farmer Martha Boneta. The rally will precede a hearing on H.B. 1430, the Boneta Bill, introduced by Delegate Scott Lingamfelter of Woodbridge, VA. The rally begins at 3:30 p.m. with a press conference to begin at 4:00 p.m. at the historic Bell Tower on the grounds of the Virginia State Capitol.
Martha Boneta said, "I am grateful to Delegate Lingamfelter for introducing H.B. 1430. He is a champion of freedom. His bill protects the rights of all small family farmers in Virginia. And, I am thankful to the many people across Virginia and the entire country who have told me they support this cause and that they are praying for me and our freedoms." Mrs. Boneta is scheduled to appear on Fox and Friends, Sunday at 6:50 a.m.
One rally organizer Mark Fitzgibbons of FauquierFreeCitizen.com said, "The Boneta Bill is the most important farming and property rights legislation in memory. It amends the toothless Virginia Right to Farm Act by protecting the historic, traditional, and varied commerce of self-sustaining farmers and farming. It will ensure that county ordinances violating constitutional rights on farm land are declared void. Lastly, it adds 'teeth' by giving farmers remedies against counties that bully farmers and violate their rights to farm and earn a living. Farming and God-given rights must not be dictated or defined down by bureaucrats or special interests in Richmond. The bill is needed for farmers who want food freedom, not food stamps."
The first Pitchfork Protest in August 2012 was held in Warrenton, VA to support Fauquier County farmer Martha Boneta who was charged with hosting a birthday party for eight 10-year-old girls without a permit and site plan. This shocking abuse of authority generated nationwide news coverage and grassroots outrage. Mrs. Boneta was also charged with selling farm products such as wool fibers from some of her 160+ rescued farm animals, postcard pictures of her scenic farm and animals, and other items from her farm even though she had a business license. She remains under threat of fines up to $5,000 per violation per day, and her tiny farm store that had been open only seven hours per week is closed as a result.
Speakers will include Martha Boneta, Delegate Lingamfelter, farmer and best-selling author Joel Salatin, Delegate Bob Marshall and others.
The Boneta Bill will be heard in a House Agricultural Subcommittee hearing starting at 5 p.m. in the 5th Floor East Conference Room of the General Assembly Building.

Christopher Sibona, a doctoral candidate at the University of Colorado at Denver's business school, has a few insights regarding why someone you thought was a good pal dropped you as a "friend" on Facebook. In perhaps the first study exploring why online friendships end, Sibona finds that the top reasons for getting rid of a buddy on Facebook is frequent and unimportant posts, according to a CU-Denver press release highlighting the research, which will be published early next year by the "Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences."
As Sibona points out, you might want to get over yourself: "The 100th post about your favorite band is no longer interesting." Listen up, candidates for U.S. Senate: The number two reason for being dumped is rooted in posts about polarizing topics like religion and politics. Number three: writing crude or racist remarks.
But be careful: If a status update at first seems inappropriate—it might say something like, "I like it on the floor," for instance—get your mind out of the gutter. That particular update is likely part of an effort to raise awareness about breast cancer, and the seemingly improper approach is a trend for the campaign, notes New York Daily News. Is it effective? The New Yorker looks at the difference between strong and weak ties in attempts to organize various causes using social networks like Facebook and Twitter.

Slumping Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira could be sidelined a while longer because of his ailing right wrist. ''I haven't done anything, but I'm leaning toward the disabled list,'' New York general manager Brian Cashman said. Teixeira missed the first 53 games of the season because of a wrist injury. The All-Star slugger is hitting just .151 with three home runs and 12 RBIs in 53 at-bats.

This fantastic piece of technology reviews your daily lifestyle by measuring your recovery rate, stress level (which was nowhere near as high as I thought) and overall fitness. I could find out how much carbohydrates to calories I burnt out. How hard (or not) I was pushing myself in the gym. I now have to put abit more effort in.

His time had come. He's been waiting to be able to do what the big kids do for years. I guess that's the curse of the younger child; he's watched Skyler be on a soccer team and head off to swim practice and we're always telling him he'll get to do all the cool stuff when he gets bigger.
Well, he's bigger! But soccer has still been a series of false starts because his first two practices were rained out.
He's flexible though. He's just excited to have his new shin guards and cleats and a handsome navy shirt. Last weekend while I was running the MDI Half Marathon, Sam took Reed to his first game.
They did some drills for a few minutes and then the game started. Sam said it was pretty funny, but that Reed got right in there and chased the ball.
Not sure what's happening here, but good job, Reed!
The next game is Saturday, and (if the forecast changes and it doesn't rain as predicted), I'll be cheering from the side lines.
Other newsy bits:
My body has been threatening to become sick all week, but so far it's just tightness in the chest and generally not feeling great. I have another half marathon in a little more than a week, so I'd like to just get on with it and get the freaking cold already so I can start getting better. Many of my students are sick. It's the inevitable back-to-school cold.
I still managed to have some great runs this week: one lovely run out in the country , one on trails along the Stillwater (thought of you as always in Orono, Steph) and one on the track during which, well, I ran pretty damn fast. Fall is such a perfect time to run.
Today I started reading Bossy Pants by Tina Fey and I'm in love with it already.
Hope everyone has a nice weekend!
