"I was trying to draw someone who walks his way with a positive and hopeful attitude, making his own way, looking at the future bravely and with a strong disposition. That's why I chose a poem of one of the most important Spanish poets (Antonio Machado), which says:
"Walker, there is no way,
You make your own way walking"
I think is a good philosophy of living your life not thinking all the time about how wonderful was your past life and wasting all the beautiful moments you could be living in the present.
So, you, and just you, are the owner of your life. You're the writer of your history. Make it big, make it wonderful."

The mainline churches are not alone, however, and the declining appeal of a clerical career among Christian and Jewish youth in a country that considers itself religious raises questions about the future viability of the very institutions that have fostered that faith. Are they in a position to reverse that decline, and what might it take?
Religious communities and seminaries are starting to grapple with that question, and some working on the cutting edge foresee changes more radical, though not more bleak, than others may anticipate.
The current picture is unsettling. The Roman Catholic Church not only has fewer young men joining the priesthood, it is already grappling with a severe overall shortage. So far, the shortages for Protestant and Jewish denominations are largely in rural areas. Many middle-aged men and women have chosen ministry as a second career in recent decades, but that means fewer years of service before retirement.
"When I was in seminary in 1988, there was a glut of clergy," says the Rev. Bonnie Perry, the young rector of All Saints Episcopal Church in Chicago. "Now people are waking up and realizing that everyone is going to retire [soon], and there is no one to take their places."
Just as crucial is the import of a younger clergy in attracting and keeping teens and young adults in congregations.
"It is a real challenge for the church in America, because your under-30s are the generation walking away from the church," says Edmund Gibbs, professor of church growth at Fuller Theological Seminary, in Pasadena, Calif. "Very few in leadership really understand the Gen X and Gen Y generations, [which are] looking for a different kind of church."
Two recent studies highlight the stark picture. A survey of mainline churches by the Louisville Institute in Kentucky showed a startling change over the past 25 years: In 2000, ordained clergy 35 years or under represented only 4 to 8 percent of the totals, while in the mid-'70s, they constituted 20 to 25 percent.
A survey of students entering US seminaries in 1998, by Auburn Theological Seminary in New York, confirmed the profession's diminishing appeal among young adults compared with law and medicine. The average age of seminarians was 35, while that of law students was 26 and of medical students, 25. Roman Catholics are the oldest (averaging about 40 years), followed by mainline, evangelical, and rabbinical students (30 years).
"It appears evangelicals have an easier time attracting young people than mainline Protestants," says Barbara Wheeler, Auburn's president. "They have a much more vigorous network of youth and campus organizations."
Brad Smith, president of Leadership Network in Dallas, a group working nationally to help churches become more effective, has seen alternative churches spring up in several locations, led by and serving young people.
"It's not just generational, but a deeper issue now labeled as the shift between modernism and post-modernism - a different way of thinking, perceiving, and shaping information," he says. Some see this as "the first time in 300 years - since the Enlightenment - we've had a shift of this severity in the Western world."
And it's wholly pertinent to forms of worship. "A presentational Sunday worship experience - such as that you'd find at Willow Creek [the church near Chicago that first ignited the megachurch movement] doesn't make sense to them," he says. What's important is engaging in the process, experiencing God and creating community at the same time.
The worship services in churches "planted" by in-tune young clergy may look disorganized to others, Smith adds, but they are interactive, tend to emphasize narrative and not logical presentation, leaving it to the audience to tie the threads.
Given the tremendous need, why aren't more college graduates heading for the seminaries as they did a few decades ago? The profound social and cultural changes have a lot to do with it, many say, affecting the society at large and the churches. Seminaries have yet to adjust to the changes.
The influence of organized religion and the status and prestige of clergy have diminished. "Today, it's not cool to be a cleric," says Niles Goldstein, a young rabbi who has started a New Shul in New York City aimed at the "unchurched."
The relatively low pay for an increasingly demanding job has made pastoral life less attractive even to those already ordained. Attrition is high, as many pastors find it difficult to manage the conflict that change can bring or are unable to afford sending children to college. Why encourage others to seek the job? Smith couldn't agree more. Not only was he discouraged early on from his desire to be a minister because others thought it wouldn't use enough of his talents, but he sees people of all ages, including highly successful businessmen yearning for a second, more meaningful career, finding churches unable to see how to effectively utilize their remarkable gifts.
The challenge for denominations and seminaries alike is to embrace the reality of cultural change and consider more profound kinds of transformations. Part of the problem, says Rabbi Goldstein, is that "our seminaries tend to be overly cerebral or academic, and the spirituality a lot of younger people are looking for doesn't seem to be present." Those seminaries need to involve exemplary pastors in their teaching program, Wood says.
Young people who have entered the profession often find it a struggle to make their voices heard within their denominations, and some are forming informal networks to try to have more impact.
Smith sees the culture driving churches to a crucial decision point: "Do we retreat from this change and serve those who are not making that change, or do we start reinventing how we do church? It's a particularly painful time," he says, "probably like the Reformation."
The process some large baby-boomer churches have gone through is instructive. They've started a youth service, which grows into an alternative church. For various reasons - conflict over style or money - the young clergy break off and "plant" a separate church. "That pattern is happening all over," Smith says.
While some churches choose to serve older congregations and others cater to the young, many will still aim to embrace all generations. Goldstein says his synagogue is a marriage between tradition and experimentation, and attracts people of different generations who "had written off religion." Perry, whose congregation has an average age of 36, says creating meaningful connections is what's needed.
"We all want to know we are loved by God, and that we have a gift from God that can change the world at least a little," she says. "If you can create communities that do that, people will say, 'That's cool.'"

Katy Perry's 'Roar:' The Power Of Positive Thinking
On the first Prism single, Perry gets personal, with powerful results.
f(0)Share to Facebook
t(0)Tweet to Twitter
It was a pretty lousy weekend for Katy Perry.
On Friday, her gold-plated Prism truck got smashed up in a Walmart parking lot. On Saturday, her hotly anticipated single "Roar" leaked. And then, on Sunday, she scrapped plans for the song's very public unveiling at New York radio station Z100 and announced that it would be available for download at iTunes.
Still, as you can probably gather from the lyrical content of "Roar," she wasn't about to let any of that get her down. Sure, in the past, she's sang about self-empowerment ("Firework," for example) and overcoming adversity ("Wide Awake" ), but on the whole, her brand of pop has generally lacked in import — she's the California Gurl , remember? — and purpose. That fun-filled formula has worked out pretty well for her up to this point … though it all changes right now.
Because "Roar" is Perry's most purposeful single to date. It is the empowerment anthem to end all empowerment anthems, five-plus minutes of uplift and inspiration and more mantras than a guru's guidebook. She is a champion, she has the eye of the tiger, she is thunder and she is going shake the earth beneath your feet. She is fed up and she is not going to take it anymore. She's paraphrasing Malcolm X, for crying out loud.
It's not exactly clear who Katy is standing up to in the song — Critics? Anonymous Internet commenters? Russell Brand? — though that's probably the point. There wasn't one specific catalyst behind her transformation … she discovered the power within herself, and to credit someone (or something) else for the change certainly cheapens the experience, not to mention dulls the impact of the message: namely, that you can do it too.
And though "Roar" makes that point rather subtly (or subtly for Katy, at least), there's no mistaking the fact that this song was custom-crafted to be blasted at top volume, the kind of anthem designed to be chanted in arenas around the world. There's the massive "Woah-oh-oh-oh's" of the chorus, of course, but don't overlook the last third of the song, where Katy unleashes her voice and just goes for it. She's rarely sounded better, and though some credit has to be given to her usual team of pop experts — Max Martin, Dr. Luke and Bonnie McKee — I'd like to think she found strength in the sentiments she's expressing. She sings it like she believes it.
And, sure, coming off the biggest album of her career, it would be easy to chalk all of this change up to ego, but there's something undeniably genuine about "Roar." It is personal, it is powerful, and, with its combination of sonorous hooks and searing sentiment, it is certainly one of the more perfect pop songs to come down the pipeline in quite a while.
Katy's made it clear over the past few weeks that she's putting her past behind her, though her new single drives that point home more than burning a billion blue wigs. She's back, bolder and badder than ever. You can't stop her, and you certainly can't bring her down. She is a lion, and you're gonna hear her roar, dammit.

'HICKORY DICKORY DOCK' is the title of MADSAKI's art show. Held at the 'Hidari Zingaro Gallery' in Tokyo, the exhibit explores the artist's ability to transform examples of high-art and themes tied to contemporary society into renditions that are eerily dystopian.
To do this, MADSAKI covers his paintings with dripping smiley faces, his signature. He does this on portraits of Russia's Vladamir Putin and the Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo AbeIn. In addition, he adds creepy expressions onto Takashi Murakami's iconic flower works, and even onto a portrait of Al Pacino in the movie 'Scarface.'
Also incorporated in the HICKORY DICKORY DOCK exhibition are spray-painted designs that speak to current culture's obsession with the Internet and other forms of technology.

I signed up on their website on January, 2010, and within 7 to 10 business days my card had arrived in the mail. They do not perform a credit check, but they do require that you provide your social security number for identification purposes after the attacks of September 11, 2001 and the anti-terror laws passed since.
Unlike other cards, this debit card does not charge for using it; especially as a debit/PIN at the point of sale. It was my intention to close the prepaid card account after cleaning up my name with Chex Systems and opening a bank account, which issued a bank card, but have actually decided to keep it. Unlike my bank debit card, the Capital One prepaid card does NOT charge for making debit, or PIN transactions, like my bankcard does.
I also love the fact that if there is a problem with my card, calling the customer service number on the back of the card anytime 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, does not charge me either. Being that this card is also re-loadable, it comes with both a routing and account numbers for direct deposit from an employer, or government payments, for free! Rest assure that there are not any overdraft fees associated with the card, so you only spend what you have available in your balance. Their schedule of fees is very transparent and with no hidden surprises: https://www.mycapitaloneprepaid.com/acct/getContent.php?nm=MDAxNvrD0g5v820zz7qC0JrZSMwK&ls=cap1
Here is the link to their website and direct sign-up. I was not endorsed by Capital One at all for writing this review. I just wanted to share my experience with them as a fellow consumer.
But- that's difficult when you don't know your "card number only" has been stolen. I'm still trying to figure out how someone in a restaurant thousands of miles away was able to input my card number in the system without actually having the card.
This is interesting ! If it's for real. The popular Green Dot prepaid card, which the Unites States government is considering using for tax refunds next year is an extremely bad choice. The card numbers get compromised everyday and they don't care, there is no way to contact them except by postal mail. I speak from experience. Imagine being on the East coast and someone on the west cost somehow got your card number and is hitting fast food restaurants daily. Green Dot did nothing, except charge me $10 for a new card, which was compromised almost before I got it.

The Publication For The Grocery Trade
SecretosMayas from Mexico to the World!
SecretosMayas UK LTD are the official importers, representatives, and distributors of the SecretosMayas range of sauces in the UK.
SecretosMayas UK Director Nick Bell and his Mexican wife Elizabeth have long established family connections with the Mexican growers and producers of these gourmet sauces and salsa.
SecretosMayas Mexico are Mexican horticulturists, farmers, and gourmet cooks who grow organic chilli Habanero on their own plantations in Quintana Roo, Riviera Maya, in the eastern Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, where they produce their own totally unique range of sauces and salsas using (secret) traditional Mayan methods and recipes.
All SecretosMayas sauces and salsas are 100% natural, and free from any chemical additives.
The unique flavour of SecretosMayas sauces lies in the traditional Mayan methods of smoking the Habanero pepppers in underground wooden ovens near to the chilli plantations. This is a fascinating but slow process which is key to the unrivalled flavour.
Modern methods of production may undoubtly be faster, but none can compare with the rich and natural flavours of the SecretosMayas salsas.
The range currently available in the UK comprises of three flavours, and two sizes of bottle.
The flavours are Hot smoked Habanero, Mild smoked Habanero, and Green Habanero unsmoked.
The sizes of the bottles are 230ml and 120ml. In addition the three flavours are available in a gift set presentation comprising 3x 120ml bottles.
All SecretosMayas products not only meet, but exceed International requirements for Health, Quality, Consistency, Packaging, and Labelling.
Due to the continued success of these salsas in Mexico and the US SecretosMayas have chosen World Food Market 2007 to officially launch their range to the UK. Nick Bell and his Mexican wife Elizabeth will be joined by Mexican Director Guillermo Lotz for you to taste, look and discuss the SecretosMayas range first hand. A taste experience not to be missed!
In addition to the range of sauces and salsa SecretosMayas will also be introducing two new products at WFM 07, a real "bakers quality" pure and natural Vanilla essence, and an authentic Mayan style Habanero chilli oil.
The labelling and bottle sizes of these are complimentary to the sauces and salsas.
A warm welcome awaits those who come to see us.
SecretosMayas, a natural product and a unique flavour, from Mexico to the World.

Anne Arundel Hopkins Aitken (February 8, 1911—June 13, 1994), dharma name An Tashin, is the late wife of Robert Aitken-roshi who studied with various Zen teachers, including Haku'un Yasutani, Yamada Koun and Soen Nakagawa. Together she and her husband founded Koko-an Zendo in Honolulu, which led to the establishment of Diamond Sangha in 1959. Anne played an important role in helping other women practice Zen and assume positions of leadership through her work at Diamond Sangha. Remembered fondly, she died June 13, 1994 at age 83 of a coronary heart attack surrounded by her family. At her memorial, many recalled how she had touched their lives and made each person feel as though they were important to her.

Parental consent should be required for underage pregnant women to have abortions. I believe the lack of communication between parent and teen is what leads to teen pregnancy to begin with. However, if a teen had to get support and consent before having an abortion, I think this would lead to less underage pregnancies to begin with.
Just put it this way ... Minors hide pregnancys all the time. We hear about it so much in the news, just recently a girl carried her baby to term and birthed the baby in the house w/o anyone knowing and ended up cutting the baby's umbilical cord to close and the baby bled out and died and the girl buried the baby in her backyard. My point is if a minor is determined on having an abortion she will whether it's one done in a clinic or having a back-alley abortion done which is far more dangerous than letting her get it done in a clinic.
If a teen can tell their parent about a pregnancy safely, they will. If they can't then the child must resort to either some fairly unhealthy and scary tactics, or go to court. Being 16 and navigating the court system is daunting, and many will resort to scary things. You cannot force a healthy parent-child relationship on anyone.
In addition, at my pediatricians office parents are locked out of their child's medical records after a certain age. My child can go to the doctor and discuss anything from condoms to allergies without my knowledge. But suddenly discussing an abortion and I must be brought in? It makes no sense to single out this one medical procedure.
Requiring parental consent for abortions is nothing other than a shaming tactic developed by overly religious men who think that doing this will curb teenage sexual activity. It doesn't work. What it does is force young women to see unsafe methods of abortion that are potentially fatal. Some things parents just do not need to know about.

USA Swimming's established star and its newest star led the American domination of Day 7 of the London 2012 Olympics at the Aquatics Centre. Michael Phelps captured gold in the 100m Butterfly, while Missy Franklin blew away the field in the 200m Backstroke.
In the women's 800m Freestyle, 15-year-old Katie Ledecky of the U.S. swam the second-fastest race ever by a woman, just missing out on setting a new world record. Fellow Americans Cullen Jones added a silver in the 50m free and Elizabeth Beisel took bronze in the 200m Backstroke.
[Cullen Jones teaches kids to swim through the Make a Splash Foundation]
But the story of the day was Phelps. An Olympics that started with a whimper for him is going out with a bang. When he placed fourth in the 400m Individual Medley last Saturday, a race he was the two-time defending Olympic champion in, it looked that the sport had begun to pass him by. Less than a week later he has rebounded with three golds. And in what could be his last individual swim at an Olympics, the most decorated Olympian ever surged from behind to defend his 100m Butterfly title.
[Phelps beats Lochte in 200m IM]
Phelps, behind at the turn looked in a bit of trouble, but a powerful drive in the last 25m pushed him ahead of Chad Le Clos, the South African who just beat him in the 200m Butterfly. He looked emotional on the medal stand, in what will likely be the last time he'll ever climb atop the podium as an individual Olympic champion.
While one storied career ended, we've seen the emergence of a new one in London in Franklin. She smashed the world record in the 200m Backstroke, winning her third gold of the games to go with her bronze in the 4x100 relay. The 17-year-old high schooler led wire-to-wire, finishing ahead of silver medalist Anastasia Zueva of Russia and American Elizabeth Beisel, who took bronze. Franklin lead after the first 100m, swimming ahead of world record pace. At 150m she had a nearly a full body-length lead.
Franklin still has the 4x100 Medley Relay left to swim on Saturday night. Phelps will likely swim for a fourth gold of these games in the 4x100 medley relay.

G.K. Moopanar (1931-2001) was a senior Tamil Nadu politician with ties to the Indian National Congress. He was a powerful All India Congress Committee general secretary from 1980 to 1988. He was a Rajya Sabha member when he died.
Moopanar did not get along well Narasimha Rao, who was the Prime Minister of India from 1991-96. He parted ways with Rao on the issue on his joining hands with the AIADMK and founded his own party, the Tamil Maanila Congress(TMC). Despite this Moopanar remained loyal to the Congress ideology.
Moopanar came very close to becoming the Prime Minister of India in 1997 when Harkishan Singh Surjeet and Jyoti Basu asked him to lead a Congress supported government. He however declined the offer.
Moopanar decided to align himself with the AIADMK in 2001, a surprise move considering his party, the TMC, had been founded to protest the Congress' tying up with the AIADMK. This led to the senior TMC leader P Chidambaram parting ways with Moopanar and creating another party called the Congress Jananayaka Peravai. After Moopanar's death both TMC and Chidambaram's group merged back with the Congress.

I wouldn't use Hudson or Mulder as a barometer for Zito. I think there's a reason why Beane held on to Zito for this long, and said goodbye to the other two a couple years before their contracts expired.

IF YOU HAD a childhood in the 1990s or early 2000s, then there's a fair chance that when you heard the phrase 'The Beast From The East' that you felt a cold shiver run through you that had nothing to do with the oncoming snow.
The reason?
This terrifying Goosebumps book!
'The Beast From the East' was the stuff of nightmares.
Remember Ginger and her ludicrously named twin brothers, Nat and Pat?
Well I do! I remember the absolute stress of Ginger and Goosebump's answer to Jedward being lost in an evil woods where every plant and tree wanted to kill them, ON TOP of them being tricked into playing a 'Game of Death' tip-tig with some forby-gorilla hybrid that could talk.
And this game, I might add, that had so many confusing, elaborate and unfair rules that it was like the equivalent of playing a game of King's Cup with sadistic 4 year olds.
*NB Neither I, nor any DailyEdge.ie writer, play King's Cup with 4 year olds or encourage you do so*
Needless to say, that for Ginger and her brothers, the book did not end with them nibbling on some dunkaroos and settling down for an afternoon of quiet Gameboy time as they debated which of the twins was more like Mary-Kate and which was more Ashley.
No, the last page of the book did not bode well for Ginger and the twins, and was simply a regular Goosebumps ending that would cause any 9 year old child, who had invested in the wellbeing of the characters, to have a panic attack.
Just. Like every. single. goddamn. Goosebumps. book!
But Goosebumps books were the iPhones of their day. Most definitely bad for your mental health and ability to get to sleep, but they had you addicted and craving for more.
Any library worth its salt was stocked up to the brim with these creepy-ass books, that had you checking under the kitchen for your suspicious sponges…
and made you VERY distrustful of ventriloquists after Slappy the Dummy (what a name!) popped up a whole seven times in the series to freak us out.
Remember when Slappy even spawned a satantic son?
Seriously, R. L. Stine, did you want kids never to sleep again?

Americans In Kodachrome
ed. Guy Stricherz
in 1935 as the first modern color film, Kodachrome was used extensively
after World War II by amateur photographers equipped with the new high-quality
and low cost 35mm cameras. Americans in Kodachrome 1945-1965 is an unprecedented
portrayal of the daily life of the people during these formative years
of modern American culture. It is comprised of ninety-five exceptional
color photographs made by over ninety unknown American photographers.
These photographs were chosen from many thousands of slides in hundreds
of collections. Like folk art in other mediums, this work is characterized
by its frankness, honesty, and vigor. Made as memoirs of family and
friends, the photographs reveal a free-spirited, intuitive approach,
and possess a clarity and unpretentiousness characteristic of this unheralded
photographic folk art. Conceived as a book and nation-wide exhibition,
Americans in Kodachrome: 1945-1965 is an evocative and haunting portrait
of an historic generation of Americans." -Guy Stricherz.

central sleep apnea
Definition: Cessation of breathing during sleep secondary to blunted drive to the respiratory muscles. This is not a single disease but comprises several disorders that manifest as apneic episodes during sleep. In general, central sleep apnea is divided into hypercapnic, and eucapnic or hypocapnic. In hypercapnic central sleep apnea, there is alveolar hypoventilation secondary to either abnormal central drive or respiratory muscle weakness. Any disorder that affects either the brainstem or the respiratory muscles can cause this (strokes, muscular dystrophy). Eucapnic or hypocapnic central sleep apnea is mainly seen in association with Cheyne-Stokes respirations, resulting from heart failure and from other kinds of strokes.

Exam timetable changed to accommodate Muslims during Ramadan
SHAFAQNA – GCSE and A level exams this summer have been timetabled to take the Muslim holy month of Ramadan into account.
Exam boards said pupils would be tested in subjects taken by large numbers of students, such as GCSE English and Maths, before the festival begins in early June.
Ramadan, which moves every year in relation to the Western calendar, has been gradually edging into the summer exams season in England – which runs from the end of May and throughout most of June – over the last few years. This year it covers most of the exam period.
Muslims observe Ramadan by fasting during daylight hours, causing concern among teachers that low energy levels could impact performance.
In a statement, the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ), which represents exam boards, said it was working with a "small window" but consulted on the timetable every year and considered comments from a wide range of groups.
"JCQ and the qualifications regulator Ofqual have previously met with Muslim groups to discuss the timetabling of examinations in light of Ramadan moving into the examination period," A JCQ spokesman said.
"Where possible, large entry GCSE and GCE subjects are timetabled prior to the commencement of Ramadan and consideration given to whether they are timetabled in the morning or afternoon."
But Colin Hart, of the Christian Concern pressure group, criticised the plan.
"They should let things be," he said. "How can you start changing the rules for everybody just to accommodate those particular pupils who are Muslims, who are in a minority?"

Plantar fasciitis is that pain in the bottom of your foot usually in the heel. That pain hurts especially with the first few steps in the morning as you get out of bed. This strange name comes from: "Plantar" means something that belongs to the foot, "fascia" means a band or ligament or a connective tissue, and "itis" means inflammation. You can see in the picture the plantar fascia band as it runs along the foot. This band connects your heel bone to the toes.
You're more likely to develop the condition if you're female, overweight or have a job that requires a lot of walking or standing on hard surfaces. You're also at risk if you walk or run for exercise, especially if you have tight calf muscles that limit how far you can flex your ankles. People with very flat feet or very high arches also are more prone to plantar fasciitis.
Most people with plantar fasciitis have pain when they take their first steps after they get out of bed or sit for a long time. You may have less stiffness and pain after you take a few steps. But your foot may hurt more as the day goes on. It may hurt the most when you climb stairs or after you stand for a long time. If you have foot pain at night, you may have a different problem, such as arthritis, or a nerve problem such as tarsal tunnel syndrome.
The health care provider will perform a physical exam. This may show tenderness on the bottom of your foot, flat feet or high arches, mild foot swelling or redness, stiffness or tightness of the arch in the bottom of your foot. X-rays may be taken to rule out other problems.
Non Surgical Treatment
Rest the foot as much as you can, especially during the beginning of the treatment. Try to avoid unnecessary foot activity like running, or excess standing. Instead, perform exercises that do not put stress on the injured foot, like bicycling or swimming. Apply ice to the painful area a few times a day to reduce inflammation. Try rolling the arch of the foot over a tennis ball or a baseball. A good treatment is rolling the arch of the foot over a frozen soft drink can. This exercise cools and stretches the affected area. You can use over-the-counter pain relievers (ibuprofen, naproxen) to reduce pain and inflammation. Use an over-the-counter arch support or heel support. Avoid walking barefoot, because it may add stress on the plantar fascia. Exercise your feet to make the muscles, ligaments, tendons and other parts stronger. Stronger foot muscles give better support to the plantar fascia preventing it from another injury. Stretching the foot, the plantar fascia and the calf muscles a few times a day is an essential part of treatment and prevention.
Surgical Treatment
The majority of patients, about 90%, will respond to appropriate non-operative treatment measures over a period of 3-6 months. Surgery is a treatment option for patients with persistent symptoms, but is NOT recommended unless a patient has failed a minimum of 6-9 months of appropriate non-operative treatment. There are a number of reasons why surgery is not immediately entertained including. Non-operative treatment when performed appropriately has a high rate of success. Recovery from any foot surgery often takes longer than patients expect. Complications following this type of surgery can and DO occur! The surgery often does not fully address the underlying reason why the condition occurred therefore the surgery may not be completely effective. Prior to surgical intervention, it is important that the treating physician ensure that the correct diagnosis has been made. This seems self-evident, but there are other potential causes of heel pain. Surgical intervention may include extracorporeal shock wave therapy or endoscopic or open partial plantar fasciectomy.

Volkswagen is poised to announce an end to its World Rally Championship (WRC) programme in a continuation of the cost cutting measures that has already led its sister company Audi to confirm its withdrawal from the World Endurance Championship (WEC).
Fresh from celebrating a fourth successive victory at the Wales Rally Great Britain last weekend, Drive understands a withdrawal from the WRC tops a lists of topics to be tabled at a Volkswagen board meeting to be held at the company's Wolfsburg headquarters in Germany on Tuesday, 1 November.
A high ranking Volkswagen official contacted by Drive suggests chairman Matthias Mueller will announce an end to the company's highly successful WRC programme as a direct result of the financial burden placed on Volkswagen in the wake of the dieselgate emission manipulation scandal prior to the running of the final round of the 2016 WRC in Coffs Harbour, Australia on 17 November.
Suggestions Mueller could grant Volkswagen Motorsport a year's grace before a definitive end to the WRC programme are rebuffed by Drive's source, who says Volkswagen's decision to end an association with the WRC will likely be similar to that undertaken by Audi with the WEC, and would likely be effective from the end of 2016, not 2017.
Volkswagen does not put a figure on its budget for the WRC. However, the German car maker is said to spend upwards of €100 million per year on the programme.
"It is disappointing. The guys at Volkswagen have done a great job," a separate source involved in Volkswagen Group motorsport operations told Drive.
Since rejoining the WRC in a fully fledged manufacturer from the beginning of the 2013 championship, Volkswagen has notched up 41 victories, including four manufacturers and four driver's championships.
Volkswagen sister company Audi's WEC programme was axed last after an 18 year campaign that netted it 13 wins at the famed Le Mans 24 hour race, with officials confirming it plans to switch its motor sport focus to Formula E.
Suggestions are Volkswagen could follow a similar electric car based motorsport strategy by becoming involved in the global electric rallycross series announced last week, albeit at a much lower level than that in which it has competed in the WRC.

Inspirica has been preparing students for the SSAT and ISEE tests for entrance to US independent and boarding schools for more than three decades. Tutoring younger students for a standardized test is quite different from tutoring high school students for a college admissions test, such as the SAT or ACT. It takes an experienced tutor to know how to approach younger students who are dealing with high-stakes tests for the very first time. Consequently, the strategy is to improve their basic skills in math and English, increase their stamina, and build their confidence so they feel prepared on test day and can achieve their best score. At Inspirica, we recognize that you are also a crucial part of this process, and we are here to help and support you, too.

"Charles Ives did not intend for his Orchestral Set No. 2 to be a follow-up to the famous first set, Three Places in New England. His notes indicate that by 1911 he'd completed the first two movements, and that the third was written in the fall of 1915. The finished grouping of these three movements wasn't assembled until 1919, whereas Three Places was put together around 1914. Ives' Orchestral Set No. 2 premiered under Morton Gould in Chicago in 1967. The Orchestral Set No. 2 is scored for a very large orchestra and chorus, rivaling the scale of the Fourth Symphony." - AMG. In 1961 London Records introduced Phase 4 Stereo, with promises to break "the sonic barrier." London was a well established American label owned by British Decca (not to be confused with American Decca) that specialized, not surprisingly, in releasing recordings from England. Phase 4 Stereo: "New Scoring Concepts Incorporating True Musical Use of Separation and Movement. In this phase, arrangers and orchestrators re-score the music to place the instruments where they are musically most desired at any particular moment and make use of direction and movement to punctuate the musicality of sounds. The effect is more sound -- more interest -- more entertainment -- more participation -- more listening pleasure. Phase 4 albums quickly became known for their characteristic sound: warm, rich, clean, precisely performed, arranged and recorded. The record is Mint. The jacket is Exc+. The LP plays MInt+. This recording sounds 'Live' - you are there, right in front of the Orchestra. A big, powerful sound with room-shaking Bass, rich mids and open, transparent high's. The soundstage is huge and has solid imaging. Instruments are highly defined and have micro-detail. A truely magnificent pressing.

How do you get the most out of the E&E's? I read the sections we cover in class and for the most part the "textbook" part (what I call it) is pretty straightforward and doesn't offer up much new or too enlightening. I mean, its only the first few weeks so I guess this is to be expected. Its clarified some things in CivPro, solidified some things in torts and, well I read a different supplement suggested for my Property class.
So, the questions then, what do you do with them? Do you write the answer out? Do you do it in your head? Do you you use it as a small sliver of a practice exam?
The thing I don't like so far with the E&E's is they seem to give definitive answers, which makes sense for their purpose but I'm concerned they aren't going to help me learn that enigmatic art of legal thinking.
So, my fellow L's 1 through 3, how do you use these books?

WINNIPEG - Community Ambassadors Hold Israeli Culinary Workshop - October 25, 2016
In an event held Tuesday, October 25, 2016, CFHU Community Ambassadors to Winnipeg, Sigal Kleynerman and Shai Josopov, gathered a group of outstanding young professionals and local Hebrew University alumni for a unique culinary event, celebrating the flavours of the Israeli kitchen. The event was carried out in collaboration with "Puzzle Israel" co-founders and chefs, Nir Margalith and Guy Marom, who treated the crowd to a one-of-a-kind Israeli cooking workshop. During the event, which was held at the home of Baillie and Daniel Chisick, two exceptional young professionals from the Winnipeg Jewish community, guests learned about multiple famous Israeli dishes, while hearing first-hand about the Hebrew University's groundbreaking and innovative work. In addition, the ambassadors, with the help of local lay leader Dr. Robin Gertenstein and CFHU Executive Director of Western Canada, Dina Wachtel, introduced the crowd to their new roles in the community, as part of the organization's current efforts to strengthen the significant relationship between the Hebrew University and the Winnipeg Jewish community. The event marked the initiation of various future events and programs the new Community Ambassadors are planning for the Winnipeg community.

Manchester United supporters criticised Louis van Gaal after the 20-time English Premier League champions went down to Danish outfit FC Midtjylland in the Europa League.
United fans, who had paid an astronomical price to watch their team play against Midtjylland, started singing "We are f*****g s***" as the Red Devils were humbled by Midtjylland in their Europa League round of 32 first leg.
It also took very little time for the fans to take out their anger and disappointment on Twitter.
United have now lost 21 out of their last 39 matches in all competitions.
Manchester United showcased one of their most dismal efforts in recent times against an outfit who were only formed in 1999. FC Midtjylland played way better than a side that is apparently one of the biggest clubs in the world.
It has been one of those seasons for Manchester United fans, who will want to forget it as soon as possible.
#LouisvanGaalOut has already surfaced on social media, and it will be interesting to see how the United management will look into this issue.
Let us take a look at some of the tweets:

Puglia & Basilicata
8-Day Tour of Southern Italy
September 18-26, 2017
Puglia and Basilicata
Discover the heel of the boot, the heart of authentic Italy.
Baroque architecture, the fairytale village of Alberobello, white sand beaches with pristine water, and streets lined by olive groves, Southern Italy's two main regions are a hidden gem.
Travel Italian Style is excited to be one of the few tour operators to bring you there!
Get ready for a true southern experience, where native historian guides and a local Italian family will introduce you to delicious slow-food cuisine, teach you local music traditions, accompany you to breathtaking mountain towns, and of course introduce you to local food and wine!
Delight in the untouched regions of Southern Italy
1. Did you know this region produces about 40% of Italy's olive oil, is the home of UNESCO cities dating back to 7th Century BC, and that it produces more wine than any other locations in Italy?
2. Travel & Leisure Magazine says it best: "Despite its cultural richness and architecture, Puglia is still one of the least explored regions of Italy, offering a coastline bathed by two crystal blue seas: The Adriatic and the Ionian."
3. Basilicata and Puglia are known for their Burrata cheese as well as Durum wheat, which is used to make their local pasta and bread unique!
Your week:
Learn the traditions of Puglia: Our local partners start by giving us a warm autumn welcome! You will participate in an olive oil harvest, pasta making classes, wine and cheese tastings, a private local music gathering, and much more.
Visit Alberobello and Matera:
Enjoy a visit to two of Southern Italy's remarkable UNESCO Heritage Sites. You will be fascinated by the 14th century fairytale village filled with limestone, conical-roofed trulli. Plus, you'll enjoy the "Sassi di Matera', dating back to 7th century BC!
Walk the streets of picturesque Puglia: White-washed buildings, miles of blue seas, charming churches, and breathtaking cliffs are just some highlights of your day exploring Polignano a Mare and Ostuni.
Open your mind to hidden villages of the Dolomites: Allow your breath to be taken away by the medieval mountain towns of Pietrapertosa and Castelmezzano, known as "a world of gold." You will, of course, get a chance to taste the local specialties made by natives of the region!
Discover the "Florence of the South": Lonely Planet says, "If Puglia was a movie, Lecce would be cast as the starring role." Lecce is a beautiful baroque city that has been known to have the same charm as our beloved Firenze up north. You will kick the day off with a guided tour by a native from the region, who is know for bringing guests to the best pastry shop in town!
Meet your host:

Our partners:

Your home for the week:
Your first six nights will be enjoyed in a typical Masseria (farmhouse) in the Basilicata countryside, 10km from the ancient city of Matera. The home is owned and operated by a delightful local Italian family.
This rustic farmhouse boasts an olive oil grove, private pool, communal terrace (inspired by the terraces of the Sassi of Matera), and an organic farm, which the owners use to create local, authentic meals daily.
You close the week in the baroque city of Lecce, where you will experience a 19th century palace turned luxury B & B. Also operated by local Italians, this city center accommodation is steps away from the beautiful Piazza Duomo.
Your B&B owners strive to create a peaceful, bright, and carefree environment for their guests and they prove so with their modern decor, central location, and organic daily breakfasts.

I have never heard of Basilicata or Puglia, where are they located?
They are located on the heel and the arch of the boot of Italy.
Is there a lot of walking on this trip?
We always say "bring your walking shoes to Italy!" but overall this will be a comfortable and fun filled trip. The toughest of the walks will be in Matera. You can keep active by going on morning runs or taking a mountain bike for a ride while staying in the masseria (farmhouse).
What is the average temperature?
Average temperature ranges from 73-80 F.
Why are only "most meals" included, but not all meals?
From past trips we learned:
1. Most of our organized meals are served...well...Italian Style!! So... they can be a bit filling. Thus, we left some time for you to skip a meal (if you are full) or get to enjoy something a bit lighter at your leisure.
2. Diets, restrictions, and allergies..oh my! We understand the pressure of traveling with these requests and we always accommodate in the best possible way. However, we now offer some time for you to enjoy a meal of your choice with no stress! But not to worry, there will be no shortage of food, just in case you were wondering!!
Do I have to attend every day trip?
Of course not! We hope you do but you are always welcome to stay back and enjoy 'you' time or coordinate another trip on your own. However, please note this does not change the price of the trip.
Can I come as a single?
Yes, and we would love to have you! We do not match up roommates so you are welcome to purchase the room at the single rate, which is a slight additional fee (so you can have the room all to yourself).
What do you mean by "flight concierge"?
Each tour guest receives a personal assistant (flight concierge) who will research and select flights based on your preferences and budget. They will assist with the booking process, always finding the best deals on the best airlines. Following the booking, the team will monitor your flight to and from Italy; if there are any changes or updates they will know first, via email or text, and pass you all the information! It's like having a personal assistant, just for your flights. They can even assist with using your miles or points for an extra fee.
I would like to extend my time in Italy, can you help me plan?
Yes! For a special rate I would be happy to arrange a plan for you to visit Rome, Amalfi Coast, Naples or anywhere you choose! Let's chat and I can propose the best package for you!

Conflict of interest disclosure in the classroom shapes medical students' views on industry relationships, but doesn't make them more cynical about their own education, researchers found.
After starting a policy requiring professors to disclose relationships with pharmaceutical and medical device companies, more preclinical students at one school agreed that their program should not be funded by industry, and that the program should be limiting industry meetings with students and educators.
However, students weren't more likely to see their instructors or educational content as influenced by industry after the disclosures, reported Azalea Kim, MPA, of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, and colleagues.
Almost all students already favored disclosure by professors before the policy, and that didn't change after it was implemented (97% to 98% before and after), based on the survey results appearing in a research letter in the Dec. 5 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
"Our findings suggest that a conflict of interest disclosure policy to students is feasible and may influence student attitudes toward industry prescribing but not education," Kim's group concluded.
They took advantage of a "natural experiment" when Mount Sinai School of Medicine began mandating that lecturers routinely disclose their industry relationships to first- and second-year medical students, starting September 2010.
After a brief presentation in class to explain the policy, faculty disclosures were also made available online.
About two-thirds of the 284 preclinical students responded to the surveys administered at the beginning and end of the 2010-2011 academic year.
Students saw financial relationships with industry as an influence, with about 70% agreeing that lecturers were more likely to recommend companies' products during class if they had such relationships, and a little over half agreeing that their educators should limit such relationships.
The majority (73% to 74%) thought disclosure would lessen the likelihood of presenting biased material.
However, about three-quarters saw their lecture content as evidence-based and unbiased regardless of what conflicts of interest their lecturers might have. Just under 60% thought the quality of their own education wasn't influenced by any industry relationships their teachers had.
None of those beliefs showed even a trend for change from before policy implementation to afterward.
What did change was beliefs about medical school relationships with industry.
After the policy went into effect, more students thought schools should limit industry meetings with:
- Students (72% versus 57%, P=0.004)
- Residents and house staff (53% versus 39%, P=0.01)
- Educators (57% versus 40%, P=0.002)
Students were less likely to think that industry should be involved in funding medical school programs (62% before versus 44% after, P=0.002).
There was also a trend for more students to think that receiving gifts or food from industry has an influence on physician prescribing (70% before versus 79% after, P=0.052).
Notably, 89% of lecturers reported having no conflicts of interest to disclose.
Thus, "the lack of association may be related to students' relationships to professors or the rarity of faculty conflict of interest," Kim's group wrote. "The introduction of the policy, rather than disclosure itself, may have influenced the students' attitudes."
Limitations of the study included that only a single site was studied and the lack of verification that disclosures were actually presented during lectures or how accurate they were. Social desirability bias was also possible.
Kim reported receiving an institutional grant from the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation. One co-author reported receiving grants from the American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation and the Josiah Macy Foundation.

Rothbard didn't pander: he didn't try to imitate the rhetoric of the students, he didn't insult them by trying to make them think he was "cool": Rothbard was strictly Old School, and never pretended otherwise. What he did was apply libertarian principles to the concrete day-to-day issues that rose up in those two tumultuous years, revealing the radical evil of the State and the unadorned radicalism of the libertarian stance in every case.He didn't pretend to be a leftist: the idea was to win over the left-leaning students, and the revolutionary blacks, to libertarianism, not to masquerade in the fashionable rhetoric of the moment. He never disguised or watered down his libertarianism to suit his audience: unlike the self-styled "left-libertarians" of today, he rejected any modification or "addition" to the central axiom of libertarian political theory, which is the nonaggression principle plain and simple. In answer to the "check your privilege" sloganeering of the cultural left, Rothbard would have said "Check your cultural prejudices at the door."
Among the things which are really disturbing is the case of Murray Rothbard. I enclose the current issue of National Review. . . . Now he is allied with the New Left. Imagine that!

Ever since iOS 7 was released, some iPhone users have been complaining of odd error codes in iTunes. Some are getting the 4014 or 4013 code on iTunes , which stops them from being able to go ahead upgrade to the new firmware through iTunes. It is a hardware error and normally relates to a cable that is faulty or a port that has gone wrong or even just got dust in it. There are several things you can try to get round this problem.
Image : iTunes Error 4014
Fix iTunes Error 4014 – 4013 :
Before you start make sure that you have iTunes v11.1, which is the latest one, and that your iPhone has sufficient space on it for the new upgrade – you need at least 1 GB, preferably 3 GB. Make sure your iPhone is at least 50% charged.
The first thing to try is changing the USB port you are plugging into. If that still throws up the error, try a new cable but make sure it is the right one for your device.
You can also try connecting to a different PC or laptop that has iTunes on it and see if that works. If not you'll need to get a little more extreme.
Follow the Steps Below :
- Make a full backup of your device through iTunes and iCloud and any other way you can think of.
- Place your iPhone into DFU – hold down Power and Home buttons together for about 10 seconds, release the Power button but continue to hold the Home button until you see a recovery message on iTunes. OR
- Disconnect your iPhone from the PC and close down iTunes. Place into DFU and, when the screen goes blank, reconnect to iTunes and open it. The same message should appear.
- Click on Recover and let iTunes restore your iPhone as a new device.
- You should then upgrade to iOS 7 through iTunes BEFORE restoring your backup.
You can try cleaning unused data and apps off your iPhone to free up a bit more space as well. Some people have found this to help.
