The Orville, a Surprisingly Fun Homage to Star Trek Opinion
I wasn't sure what to expect with The Orville on Fox. When I first heard about it I thought we were going to get a silly parody making fun of Star Trek at best, or just Family Guy in space at worst. After seeing the first episode I was pleasantly surprised. The Orville comes off … [Read more…]

While academic achievement is important, the Verona Area High School (VAHS) believe that giving back to others, engaging in the community, and having passion for change should be valued as well. As a result, the Silver Cord program was created as a way to recognize outstanding community service and volunteerism. Principal Pam Hammen will share more information about the Silver Cord program and the importance of volunteerism to the VAHS community and the community at large.
Kelly Kloepping, the Public Information Officer for the Verona Area School District, will also share an update on the construction of the new high school.

ANOTHER weekend and another winner tipped up this time it was the impressive Shinrock Paddy winning at a decent price of 5/1.
Sybarite also ran a great race only beaten 1 length into 2nd at 13/2 to pay each way returns.
Forpadydeplasterer was found to have a blood disorder after the race and did not run any sort of a race.
This Saturday Carole's Legacy holds an entry for the mares hurdle and is respected.
A top class hurdler who has a 100% record over hurdles at this distance 3 runs and 3 wins.
We selected this one recently when she was eventually a non runner connections are now going for the mares hurdle this weekend and have a big shout.
The Victor Chandler Chase can go to Master Minded who has looked back to his best the last two runs. A strong performance in the Tingle Creek Chase at Cheltenham last time out merits a wager.
If running to the sort of form we have seen on the last 2 runs then nothing can match him in this race.
Over at Haydock in the Champion Hurdle Trial I really like Peddlers Cross to take this even and win at Cheltenham come March to become top class.
He is unbeaten and I predict will be the next top class horse over hurdles to dominate all the Grade 1 events.
Ascot 1:50 – Carole's Legacy.
Ascot 2:25 – Master Minded.
Haydock 2:05 – Peddlers Cross.
Sunday will be a day for celebration in more ways than one with the Irish Champion Hurdle when it goes to Hurricane Fly who is very classy.
Solwhit who I rate very highly was beaten by the selection 3 times and such was the manner of the win last time out we must back the Hurricane.
Dunguib has been pulled out of the race by connections.
2.30 – Hurricane Fly.

ALAN MAHON last night plained why he turned down a clutch of First Division clubs to drop from the Premiership into the Second Division and sign for Cardiff City.
The Blackburn Rovers midfielder has agreed to join the Bluebirds on loan for three months and is expected to make his City debut at Huddersfield on Saturday.
Bluebirds manager Lennie Lawrence beat off stiff competition for the 24-year-old's signature - Coventry and Burnley were among the clubs interested in the Republic of Ireland international.
"I could have gone to a First Division club but Cardiff is a club with a lot of ambition," Mahon said.
"It's a club that doesn't want to hang about.
"I could have joined a club that was happy to sit in mid-table in the First Division but in my opinion joining Cardiff is far more exciting.
"I would rather join a club that's pushing for promotion. I tasted promotion at Blackburn when we went from the First Division to the Premiership two years ago and it's a fantastic thing to be involved in."
Mahon was at Vale Park last night hoping to watch his new team-mates in action against Port Vale, but he left rain-soaked Staffordshire a disappointed man since referee Paul Taylor called off the game just an hour before kick-off.
The former Tranmere and Sporting Lisbon player added, "Coming to Cardiff is a great challenge. I don't see why people should be surprised by the fact I've turned down First Division clubs to go to Cardiff.
"There's a great set-up at Cardiff now. I really believe playing for Cardiff is far more of a challenge.
"I've had a long time to think about the decision and I'm confident I've made the right decision.
"I was impressed with the manager (Lennie Lawrence) and Sam
Hammam (Cardiff owner). It was those two who convinced me to sign for the club.
"In fact, I was swayed after the very first phone call I had from Mr Hammam. He didn't pull any punches. He told me where he thought the club should be going.
"I was happy with what he told me."
City have signed Mahon, a left-sided midfielder, with a view to making his stay at Ninian Park a permanent one.
Blackburn manager Graeme Souness paid Sporting Lisbon #1.5m for his services in 2001 after a spell at Ewood Park on loan.
But with fellow countryman Damien Duff - one of the stars of last year's World Cup - in his way, the man from Dublin has been frozen out at Blackburn this season and he has made only three first-team outings for Rovers during 2002-03.
"It has been very frustrating at Blackburn," Mahon said.
"It's always frustrating when you're not playing. I'm sick of playing in the reserves.
"Players train all week with the aim of playing in the first team on Saturday. That hasn't been pening for me recently.
"But now that's going to change. Now I've got something to look forward to at the end of the week.
"I can't wait for Saturday. I can't wait to get stuck in. This move to Cardiff has really lifted me."
Mahon will train with Blackburn today before teaming up with the City players tomorrow.
"I need to start playing again but I'm still a young boy," he said.
"Yes, there is the possibility of staying with Cardiff but at the moment I've signed for three months.
"I want to play as well as I can for Cardiff, hopefully win promotion with them and then we'll see what happens."
Mahon has won two Republic of Ireland caps - both came in 2000 - and obviously wants to win more.
He hopes this stint in South
Wales will resurrect his career.
"I've got a couple of caps but if I'm not playing then I'm not going to win further caps, am I?" he said. "Hopefully I can get involved with the Ireland squad again soon." After making his name at Tranmere, Mahon had a nightmare time in Lisbon and, after a good start with Blackburn, he has been out of the first-team frame at Ewood Park.
But he said, "I've made decisions during my career and I wouldn't change anything.
"Football is full of ups and downs. I'm hoping my time with Cardiff is one of the ups."

The ambitious Pacific Coast Spirits brings urban distilling to Oceanside
Grape vodka, heirloom corn bourbon, and a plan to malt its own barley
Ian Anderson 3 p.m., Dec. 12
Nice thing happened on the way to the forum, uh, ballpark last night.
OK, not actually going to the Mets game. Twelfth and Imperial is just my transfer point.
So I get off the trolley and smell…barbecue. Then I see…smoke. Lots of it. And people. Lots of them.
So I follow my nose across Imperial to the parking lot. At first you think, wow, giant tailgate party for the game.
Then you think, yeah, really giant tailgate party. The place is up in smoke from rows and rows of BBQ grills, and guys with tongs flipping ribs and chicken among leaping flames. And hundreds, thousands of kids and parents. And radio and TV remote ops going on, the whole nine yards.
Jose, Olga, Kale, Des, volunteers at the 3rd smokeout
"We do this every year," says this gal Olga who's serving out ribs and chicken at one of the long tables. "It's a combination of Phil's BBQ employees and volunteers with Big Brother, Big Sisters. This is the third year."
Olga, Kale
"We have 300 employees," says Phil Pace, the actual Phil, who's standing nearby. "125 of them are volunteering here tonight. No pay. How great is that?"
"There are about 3,000 people here," says the guy next to him, Jeff Loya.
Phil Pace of Phil's BBQ mans the tongs with co-owner Jeff Loya
Loya and Pace are co-owners. "We donate the food, about 2,500lbs of pork and 1500 chickens, 3,000 pieces," says the Phil.
"We raised $40,000 last year," says Loya. "This year we're trying to raise $50,000."
Bottom line: this is the largest BBQ tailgate in Southern California.
Or no: Bottom line is tickets were $25 each for the public. That got you the food and a seat at the ballgame, and more important, all that money went to Operation Bigs, a mentoring program for kids who have a parent deployed in the military overseas.

Meditation on a Busy Schedule
If you're incredibly busy, pencil in formal periods of meditation whenever you can find the time. But if you have the luxury of choosing or would like to meditate as often as you can, these tips fill you in on some of the best times to sit.
Ultimately, every moment and every activity can provide an opportunity to be mindful.
Meditate first thing in the morning
Traditionally, the hour or two right after you wake up — preferably around sunrise — is considered the best time to meditate. Your mind and body are refreshed and energized by deep sleep, and you haven't yet started to obsess about your usual worries and concerns. As a result, you may find it easier to focus and stay present.
By meditating first thing, you also set the tone for the rest of the day and can extend whatever peace of mind you generate to your other activities.
Before bed meditation
If you're groggy when you get up or have to shift into high gear the moment your feet hit the floor, try meditating in the evening before bed. It's a great way to prepare for sleep because it allows your mind to settle down and shift naturally and with ease from waking to slumber. In fact, meditators who sit at bedtime often report that their sleep is more restful.
Of course, the downside is that you may feel as though you're too tired or stressed out to meditate at the end of the day, and you may wind up taking a hot bath instead. But when you get into the habit, you'll find that evening meditations are an excellent option with some distinct advantages when it comes to calming your mind and transitioning you into restful sleep.
After work meditation
Although not as reliable as mornings or bedtimes because it's often usurped by errands, early dinners, or family emergencies, the transition time between work and home can be a fitting moment to take a few deep breaths and let your body and mind settle — instead of reaching for the paper or flipping on the tube.
Meditate during lunch hours and coffee breaks
If you have an office of your own and a time set aside for lunch or coffee, plan on bringing your food or scoring your java in advance and spending the rest of the time meditating. You may even set aside a special meditation space in your office — including an altar, if you're so inclined.
Meditate during predictable downtimes
If you're like many parents, you may spend hours each week shuttling your kids from one activity or playdate to another — and sitting in the car or running errands while you wait for them to finish. Instead of picking up a magazine or listening to the news, try meditating. It may not be the best environment and your posture may not be ideal, but it's precious idle time.

With my event, it is my intention to attract the people who can make a difference. I have said before that my goal is to construct an event that can literally make a change the world of orphan drugs and rare diseases, putting the best people in the right place to start making a difference to peoples lives. I want to secure the best possible speakers to present to the best possible delegates to then go and turning ideas into actions and make a
It is with this thought, and a question that has been building up in my mind over the last few weeks of research calls, meetings and emails, that I write this blog. So, let us begin…
Where does the power lie in orphan drugs and rare diseases? Who has the ability to change everything?
There are so many links in the chain, each link intersecting and interacting with the other rest from a global level to a local level, and therefore it's difficult to get a handle on where the true power lies.
Each link certainly has the capability to affect each of the other links to a certain extent. Though which, out of all of them, has the ability to affect them all significantly? Which one can cause great change and significant progress?
There are so many issues and factors to consider here. The diversity of roles within the sector shows that there is no clearly defined 'executive power', no one section has a majority of influence over others, instead the power lies in the collective. Each section brings its own pressures, objectives, focuses, goals, financial clout (or lack there of), agenda and history, and from there derives the power.
However, is that power being wielded correctly? Is what's being done the right way of doing it? Is each link working in the way that is best for orphan drugs? And If not, how do we go about making it work as well as possible?
This is all quite high minded stuff, if I'm to be honest. I'm sitting here in my office in London typing away, briefly looking out the window to ponder a point, feeling a little under the weather and I'm trying to wrestle with the concept of power, geopolitics, the corporate world, whether man kind can truly change and evolve and how to change the world for the better…and my headache really isn't helping matters.
We are dealing with a multibillion pound industry that has hundreds of thousands of lives at stake, spanning every country of the globe, working with tiny populations of people with rare diseases, navigating through the legislative, political, regulatory and financial complexities of the 196 countries in the world (I counted…via Google) in order to treat those tiny populations of people for their respective diseases…whilst still making enough money to perform that service over several years, as well as their others. And they have to operate from a global level down to the most local. So who has the power to make changes to make every single part of the process
There are a lot of stakeholders involved in every facet of the sector, and there are literally lives at stake. And whilst several elements of the system are working, there are sections lagging behind, parts that aren't functioning as well as they should be, but who is going to step in and make them work? Which link. group, organisation or person is going to lead the charge to bring about significant sweeping changes, kick down some doors and bring about the innovation revolution?
There are many factors at play, many moving parts, many links in the orphan drug chain…so how is it going to start working better? Functioning with greater efficiency, speed and accuracy? This is a hugely important challenge for the sector to overcome and solve, and it involves everyone, because that is where the power lies.

College. A time for landmarks and milestones. You see college life in movies and on television and say, "One of these days, that's going to be me." For some of you, it's true. The rest of us--well that's what this list is for.
This is kind of a college cliché--the lazy freshman who rolls out of bed and goes to class in their jammies. That nonchalant attitude was just what you needed to reinvent yourself in college, because apparently nothing says "That's one cool guy" like going to class in a smelly hoodie and even smellier flannel pajama pants. It doesn't even make sense--did you brush your teeth? Eat breakfast? If you had time to put on your shoes and gather your stuff for class and do all those other things then surely you had time to put on a clean outfit, right?? In retrospect, it's good you never did this.
It didn't matter that you were just a kid fresh out of high school, you were going to create something beautiful, something with meaning. By the time you graduated, you were going to have written a novel, or painted a mural on campus, or have your film shown at the film festival. But all you did was write papers for class, doodle in your notebooks, and watch an unhealthy amount of Netflix. You never even once wore your beret.
Ah yes, the mentorship under the wise professor, full of knowledge and advice, guiding you when you needed guidance. You were going to have coffee with this professor regularly, even when you weren't currently taking a class with them, maybe even dinner some time where you discuss your field of study. This was going to be your very own Mr. Feeny, your John Keating, your Ms. Riley, maybe even your Miss Frizzle, for those art and theater students out there. But you can't forge a mentorship with a professor if you skip class, and, you know, sit way in back and never talk. Good luck finding someone to write a letter of recommendation for you post graduation.
The ultimate test of proving your worth. This professor looked down on you since day one, and you would like nothing more than to wow them with your essay, project, presentation, whatever it is. You were going to go head to head against this professor, and at the end of it the whole class was going to cheer you on and you would finally gain everyone's respect. That sounded like hard work though, and like it would take a lot of your time. Eh, there's nothing wrong with getting a C.
Woo! College! Time to party it up like there's no tomorrow. Drink all day, drink all night. Step 1: Get Invited to a Party. Step 2: Well there's no step 2 if you never completed Step 1. Not sure if you know this, but those college parties are preeetty hard to get into if you're not "cool" or whatever. There's nothing more damaging to your pride and dignity than getting denied entrance to a party by some freshman pledging a fraternity you have no affiliation with.
Condoms? Check. Empty dorm room? Check. Partner to have sex with? That, uh, somehow slipped through the cracks. It's kind of hard to do the whole sex thing when there's no one to do it with. Looks like you're on your own. Good thing your dorm had good wi-fi, and even though you were going Hand Solo, you were still considerate enough to leave a sock on the door knob.
You were the youth of the nation. You brought new ideas, new values, and new ethics to a world stuck on old traditions. You were going to fight for the truth, and for justice. You were going to protest the man, fight the system, and use your college degree to change the world. Or you can work for some website or become a DJ. Whichever comes first.

It's been a weird week in headlines. Couples are breaking up (Ben and Jennifer, Kourtney and Scott), butts are being Instagrammed (#BieberButt), but this may be the most shocking news of all: Matt Damon's brand new ponytail.
The actor debuted this new look at a press conference for his latest movie, The Great Wall, and, well, forget the Great Wall — let's talk about the GREAT HAIRDO. Okay, that last part is debatable. In fact, it's so debatable that it's splitting the Much offices apart as Damon's long hair has sparked a pretty heated debate between writers Allison and Melody. Take a look below as each make their case for and against Matt Damon's new ponytail.
Tell us in the comments below or @Much: do you like Matt Damon's new look?
By Melody
Is Matt Damon playing Leonardo DiCaprio in an upcoming Lifetime movie? Because that's the only way you can explain Damon's recent hair growth. Matt Damon, A-list actor/ageless hunk, has grown a ponytail and, well, I'm a little worried.
See, this is regular Matt Damon. The epitome of a 44-year-old man who is secretly hoarding the fountain of youth and making women of all ages swoon. Look at him, so put together and so charming. This look screams: "Hey girl, I'm a grown ass man who has mastered the art of grooming."
And then, there's this.
What fresh hell is this? Untucked shirt, lazy scruff and hair that looks like it hasn't been washed in weeks. WEEKS. This is literally making me weep. Please take my tears and wash your hair with it, Matt. It's the very least you can do if you decide to keep this look.
Don't get me wrong, ponytails work for some male stars: Jared Leto, David Beckham and Zayn Malik were all ambassadors for luscious man buns and/or ponytails, but it's not for everyone. It's not for Matt Damon.
This look completely untangles that clean-cut all-American image he spent years perfecting and I don't really see it paying off. So yes, I'm praying that this is just for a movie role because, if I see him holding an e-cigarette or running around with a water gun, I will personally take a pair of scissors to Matt's hair.
By Allison
I could just wrap up my argument with six simple words: Matt Damon can do no wrong.
But as one of the greatest actors of our generation, Damon deserves more than that. Also, I've been preparing for this argument since School Ties came out in 1992. My time has come.
It's pretty safe to assume that Damon's new ponytail is for The Great Wall and will likely be gone once shooting has been completed. Our time with Matt's mane will be short, but full of love and appreciation.
I understand that ponytails are not for everyone and in the opinion of my debate partner Melody, definitely not for Matt Damon. I disagree. Obvi. Here's why.
Look Out, Hemsworth
He's totally out Hemsworthing Chris-Freakin-Hemsworth. I bet Damon can pick up Thor's hammer with that ponytail.
Respect The Hustle
Matt Damon is a 44 year-old man who has grown a ponytail. Sure, not all the hair is likely his, but if you've got it, why not flaunt it.
Time Machine Haircut
I don't know how it's possible, but I'm certain that Damon's ponytail created a time machine that let Ginuwine go back to 1996 and inspire his breakout song.
Little Ladies Love It
Matt Damon has four daughters. FOUR DAUGHTERS. Think of all the money he'll save on toys and books and downloading Apps by letting them play with his hair for minutes on end.
Ladies and Men Love It
Jason Bourne with a pony tail? No amount of amnesia will make me forget how good he looks.
Jason Bourne Shamed Jack Dawson
Leonardo DiCaprio was forced to retreat all the way up to Nunavut to hide his messy pony in shame.
To Reiterate
I like it.

In the august presence of eminent dignitaries like Bratya Basu, Samaresh Majumdar and others, the inauguration of Bangur Pustak Parbon 2016 was held. The ten day long book fair has been organized by Bangur Boi o Utsob Committee. The theme for the book fair in 2016 is Goyenda Rahasya.
With sixty bookstalls, the fair is a treat for the book lovers of all age groups. Ananda Publishers, Kishor Bharati are among some of the names that one may find in the book fair.
Due to the demonetization issue, the book fair committee has devised a noble way to help the visitors. Coupon system has been started at the fair where a person can buy a book and pay the cash the next day if he does not have substantial cash with them. This has been done so as to aid people during this hard time and also ensure that they can buy their favorite book.
With the chill in the weather finally settling in, this will indeed be a good time for the bookworms to visit the book fair and buy some amazing books to add to the collection!!

In this third in our series related to NASCIO's "The CIO Operating System: Managing Change in a Sustainable Way," we explore a maturity model that can help state CIOs develop their organization and explain their leadership role to a broad stakeholder audience. This paper creates a connection between trends and action and supports NASCIO's mission to represent state CIOs in the evolving state government market. The maturity model provides a set of milestones for states to strive toward. Each maturity level is described using key characteristics. This not only provides states with a way for assessing their current state but also assists in creating the next set of goals as they move up the maturity curve. A ratings table is presented that provides a more detailed set of dimensions that characterize the new operating model. The paper culminates with a short assessment of some the key learnings from a survey of the states that was conducted in the third quarter of 2018.
The Forces of Change presented in the first paper in this series have a direct relationship to and actually drive what surfaces each year as the Top Ten CIO Priorities. The Top Ten Priorities are essentially presenting the CIO response to these forces. Each year NASCIO asks the state and territorial CIOs to vote on their top priority strategies and top priority technologies. These votes are used to take the pulse of the states and territories as a group and at a point in time. It is through the lens of a Forces for Government Change model that we reframe our Top Ten list in this paper. A new operating model is emerging and will continue to mature as the strategy for addressing the priorities within each state. At its core is the concept that a state CIO's operational competence and resulting political capital requires a broker of services approach to service delivery.
This is the first in a series of three, 30-minute webinars. Everyone is asking about scaling Agile, but that's the wrong question. We really need to ask, "How do we lead large, self-organizing teams?" It means strong leadership - just not the kind we're used to. Webinar one explored the forty-year march towards self-organization based on annual Gallup surveys and over two hundred assessments of large agile organizations performed by AgileCxO's partners.
Learn how Agile has been effectively deployed with the state of Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the state of Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. Effective deployment of Agile requires a strong commitment by the business and successful partnering and collaboration between the business and the IT organizations. Once up and running as the new norm for delivering solutions, there will be multiple Scrum Teams working in parallel requiring effective coordination and orchestration across the portfolio of solutions being delivered. This includes standards, best practices, data management and staging. Our presenters have been working in this space for some time so there were lessons learned and things to avoid as well as best practices.
NASCIO conducts a survey of the state CIOs to identify and prioritize the top policy and technology issues facing state government. The CIOs top ten priorities are identified and used as input to NASCIO's programs, planning for conference sessions, and publications.
Accenture and the National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) surveyed and interviewed a
number of state government leaders to find out. We asked them to describe their experiences with agile and then tell us where and to what extent they succeeded. Seven key factors emerged—all centered on people and their willingness to embrace this methodology and collaborate at every step. And it requires a clear plan of action.
Amid so much talk about Agile implementation methodologies, how many state governments are walking the walk? What are their main drivers and benefits of adopting Agile? And, what are some of the biggest barriers to making it work? Join this webinar to get answers to those questions and more—all based on the findings of a recent study by NASCIO and Accenture.
Agile is changing the game for state governments. To explore the implications and opportunities, Accenture and the National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) are partnering on multifaceted research. Drawing from the public and private sectors, the research reveals a comprehensive perspective on the role of Agile within state government.

Understanding Your Pain to Get the Best Relief
According to the American Academy of Pain Medicine, 100 million people in the U.S. suffer from chronic pain. Pain is listed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as the leading cause of disability and the most common reason people access the health care system. Roughly one-quarter of all Americans were suffering from pain lasting more than 24 hours as of 2006.
From acute injuries to lifelong illnesses, pain can be a symptom of a variety of problems. Sometimes pain seems to appear on its own with no apparent underlying cause. No matter why you're hurting, you want fast and lasting relief to help you get back to daily life.
Understanding your condition is the key to finding proper treatment. These five common causes of pain may be addressed with both medical and alternative treatments. Your doctor can explain your options and aid you in determining the best approach.
Fibromyalgia is characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain and is often accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues. Although no definitive cause has been determined, the Mayo Clinic explains it may be related to how your brain handles pain signals from your body.
Some people begin to experience symptoms following a stressful event, such as physical trauma, psychological distress or surgery. It's also possible for symptoms to develop and worsen over time with no known starting point. People with fibromyalgia may be misdiagnosed or even ignored because of the persistent myth that the problem is completely psychological. However, this painful condition is beginning to be recognized as a disease in its own right, and has a variety of treatment options tied to it.
Medications and supplements for fibromyalgia include:
- Pain relievers
- Sleep aids
- Antidepressants
- Anticonvulsants
- John's wort
- SAMe
- Melatonin
In some cases, symptoms may be the result of a vitamin D deficiency and resolve with proper supplementation. Many people also find relief through strength training and aerobic exercise, yoga, tai chi, stress reduction techniques, massage and acupuncture.
Your sciatic nerves extend from your lumbar spine to your feet on either side of your body, passing through your buttocks on the way. As your largest nerves, they serve as connections between your spine, legs and feet.
Pain originating in the sciatic nerve is referred to as sciatica and may be felt in your buttocks or down the back of your leg. You may experience numbness, weakness or difficulty moving or flexing your feet. Sciatica can be caused by a herniated disk or bone spur putting pressure on the nerve and can also be a symptom of degenerative disk disease, piriformis syndrome or sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Some people suffer from sciatic nerve pain following sports injuries or during pregnancy.
To treat sciatica, your doctor may prescribe:
- Anti-inflammatory drugs
- Muscle relaxants
- Antidepressants or anti-seizure medications
- Steroid injections
- Physical therapy
Severely herniated discs and some bone spurs may require surgery to remove the cause of the pain.
You can also manage sciatica on your own with:
- Over-the-counter pain relievers
- Gentle stretching
- Chiropractic treatments
- Hot and cold packs
Even though the condition is uncomfortable, it's important to stay mobile. Prolonged periods of sitting or lying down can make sciatica worse.
Nerve Damage and Pain
Also called neuropathy, pain relating to any of the nerves in your body can be debilitating. Symptoms include a pins-and-needs feeling, burning sensation, loss of feeling, and diminished function of the affected area. These sensations may result from the body misinterpreting pain signals from the nerves or the nerves sending false messages to the brain.
Neuropathy can result from several conditions, including:
- Autoimmune disorders
- Diabetes
- Genetic disorders
- Tumors
- Viral or bacterial infections
- Vitamin deficiencies
You should always seek a doctor's help when experiencing this kind of pain. Untreated neuropathy may progress and lead to problems with vital bodily functions, such as blood pressure regulation and bladder control. Your doctor will likely run tests to determine the underlying cause of the pain and may give you pain medication, anti-epileptic drugs or antidepressants to help control symptoms.
Over-the-counter topical pain creams can help minimize nerve pain, as can alternative treatments like massage and acupuncture. Staying active and managing your stress reduces tension, and a targeted physical therapy regimen may also improve the condition.
Back Pain
If you've been to the doctor, missed work or suffered from disability at some point in your life, chances are back pain was part of the reason. Lower back pain is especially common and may be caused by injuries, bulging or ruptured spinal discs, poor posture, arthritis, osteoporosis or severe scoliosis.
When your back hurts, you might describe the pain as throbbing, shooting or stabbing. Your legs may also be affected, and you're likely to experience difficulty with movement and flexibility in your back. If you're suffering from any of these symptoms and your quality of life is diminished as a result, your doctor may suggest:
- Over-the-counter pain relievers
- Topical analgesic creams or ointments
- Prescription pain medications
- Muscle relaxants
- Cortisone injections
Some types of back pain can be treated without medical intervention. Correcting your posture while sitting and standing, performing gentle stretches and changing your sleeping position can all result in improvement if done correctly. Massage and hot or cold packs offer temporary relief from acute pain.
A weak core can also be responsible for back pain. Exercises to strengthen both abdominal and back muscles help you stand straighter and minimize the risk of injury when bending or lifting.
Chronic Pain
Defined as pain lasting more than three months, chronic pain is associated with many conditions. The American Chronic Pain Association provides a comprehensive list on their website to help you learn more about your condition if you're one of the millions of Americans suffering from ongoing pain.
Even if your discomfort doesn't seem to have a definite source, it could be the result of an undiagnosed illness or an injury you don't remember sustaining. It's important to discuss your symptoms with a doctor so that he or she can determine the origin.
Treatment for chronic pain is similar to the recommendations for other types of pain. Over-the-counter or prescription painkillers are often used, as are antidepressants, anticonvulsants and muscle relaxants. Newer types of treatment, including trigger point injections and nerve root blocks, are also being administered. If you struggle with concomitant symptoms like insomnia, depression or anxiety, your doctor may address these problems with additional medications.
Several alternative treatments may also help ease chronic pain:
- Active exercise therapy
- Anti-inflammatory diet
- Heat therapy
- Massage
- Omega-3 fatty acids
- TENS units
- Turmeric
When you know what type of pain you're suffering from, you can find the best treatment to manage or cure the condition. Work with your doctor to get a proper diagnosis and set up a plan for relief.
Having a support system is a vital part of a pain management plan. Find a local group for people living with the same condition, get involved with your church or spend time with supportive friends and family members. Having both a medical and personal team makes it easier to overcome the challenges associated with painful conditions.

The past few weeks have been a time for celebration and reflection. Atlanta Home Improvement Magazine, a publication I started in 2011 and sold in 2005, celebrate its 10-year anniversary on August 17. When I walked through the door to that event, I began to reflect on my life as it was 10 years ago and all that had transpired in those 10 years. The years have been packed with life's highs and lows… the success of Atlanta Home Improvement Magazine, and now, Best Self, my amazing kids, friends and family – and the lows… divorce and the loss of my mom. Overall the world has changed a lot!
Ten years ago was before 9/11, social media, Smartphones, and the economic downturn. Oprah was still on TV! All of this made me think, wow, what will the next ten years have in store for this world, my children and for me? After feeling overwhelmed for a minute, I quickly concluded the only thing I know for sure is change is in store. Overall, life is good and it is important to celebrate the good things in our lives every day. And with that said, I bring you My Best List.

Located in the Chattahoochee/Howell Mill Industrial district with plenty of parking, it is a great place for whatever you are celebrating. Details: (404) 387-3027, www.lefaisdodo.com

International Medieval Combat Federation
Since our little sport keeps popping up on CrossFit media, I thought I'd post some information so it isn't such a mystery. In essence we're reviving old medieval tournament fighting with blunted steel weapons and armor. There's no choreography or role playing. It's basically MMA with swords and armor.
At the recent world championship in Spain we had teams from as far away as New Zealand come to fight in duels, 5v5 group fights, and big 16v16 melees.
Before all this started a few years ago some of us were already doing CrossFit. It's a natural fit, since during any match we're sprinting, boxing, chopping, and grappling in 50+ pounds of armor in helmets limit vision and breathing. CrossFit is becoming increasingly popular within the US team, and our San Francisco group trains at NorCal.
Here is a video of coverage of Day 4 of the world championship by Spanish national television, queued up to the finals of the 16v16 melee between the US and Poland: http://youtu.be/GEAWvWlCEDY?t=1h15m34s
Here's a fan-made video that is a good summary of the whole event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hpb...&feature=share
And this is the original article I wrote for the Journal last year, prior to the world championship in France: http://journal.crossfit.com/2013/06/...reArticleTitle
So, there you have it. It's a small but growing sport and we're all really excited about it.
Re: International Medieval Combat Federation
Looks like a rush. Curious though, what determines if someone is "killed"?
Re: International Medieval Combat Federation
A fighter is also down by submission. Sometimes it's just better to take a knee than get hacked by a big axe over and over again.
Re: International Medieval Combat Federation
I cant beleive I am seeing this for the first time just now! Looks like a lot of fun!
Re: International Medieval Combat Federation
Here's a video from a fan that does a good job of representing the whole tournament. Somebody's been to film school.
Re: International Medieval Combat Federation
Based on the rules definition for "killed", it really seems like a team that's skilled in Judo and has some fellas with Football (American) or Rugby experience would be at a huge advantage.
I've done a bit of 'free-spar' broadsword play during my 'renfest phase', and spent a few years getting whacked with a bokken in Aikido, plus done some bladed weapon and striking weapon modern CQB training. The videos are probably true to form for the era, but man, those guys need to elevate their game. Watching the videos, it really seems like MMA at UFC 1 - the technical evolution of this sport, if it survives that long, will make these early days look like a joke. Just watching the videos, I know I'd want a mace or maul, then go in with the strategy to use momentum on a first rush (football), use the weapon as defense to get in close, then harai goshi and osoto gari all over the place to finish the game close fighting. Bladed weapons seem like more of a novelty, since they can't be sharp, so the momentum of a striking weapon in defense and inflicting damage at range, then playing the rulebook in close sure seems like it'd be the place to play.

They misspelled medieval, but that's OK. We're on the schedule!
Re: International Medieval Combat Federation
I hope everyone enjoyed the entertainment at the CrossFit Games. The feedback we got ranged from "pretty neat" to "freakin awesome," so we're calling that a win. At least no one that hated us cared enough to tell us about it.
Being out on that field was a totally surreal experience. We weren't even the main attraction, and I can tell you that energy from the crowd washes over the field in a wave that you can feel in your bones. Amazing.
Here's our web site if you want to know more: http://armoredcombatleague.us

Here at Besa, we're committed to making it easy for Columbus residents to connect with local charities that are meaningful to them. We've worked with individuals signing up through GiveBesa.org, managed team volunteer projects for companies, coordinated supply drives, and worked in a variety of ways to identify and meet the community's needs. To date, we've curated 600 volunteer projects and have been the catalyst for more than $430,000 in goods and services being donated to local nonprofits.
Partnering with companies to provide volunteer opportunities for their employees has been a cornerstone of our model. But how can those companies truly quantify the investment of time and money spent by their employees in our community? Introducing: Besa Promise. Developed in partnership with The Columbus Foundation, Big Lots and Safelite AutoGlass, Besa Promise is a new, customizable software platform that will help companies better manage and track their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), grow their philanthropy program, and lead to greater impact in our community.
From tracking employees' volunteer hours to a streamlined grants management system, Besa Promise is an intuitive, easy-to-use system. This software gives companies the ability to identify trends in its workforce's volunteer habits as well as organize and evaluate grant applications. Its administrative capabilities free up time for the people managing CSR programs, which allow them to dig deeper into the community and find new ways to address needs.
We see Besa Promise as a step forward in our journey to bridge the gap between the needs of the community and the willingness of its residents and businesses to help.
Big Lots has already begun using Besa Promise to gain valuable insights, such as the types of projects for which their employees are most passionate. They're also leveraging the system to increase engagement across departments and streamline their grants making process.
We are grateful to our inaugural partners who were instrumental in the launch of Besa Promise and look forward to helping more companies address the social problems that define our generation.
For more information and to quantify your corporate giving initiatives through Besa Promise, please contact Matthew Goldstein, Executive Director, at (614) 302-1137 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

He writes troubleshooting content and is the General Manager of Lifewire. Updated March 12, 2019 An abbreviation for Active Server Method File, a file with the ASMX file extension is an ASP.NET Web Service Source file. Unlike ASP.NET web pages that use the .ASPX file extension, ASMX files function as a service that doesn't have a graphical user interface and instead is used to move data and perform other actions behind the scenes. Be careful to not confuse ASMX and ASCX files. While they might appear similar, they're used for different reasons. How to Open an ASMX File ASMX files are files used with ASP.NET programming and can be opened with any program that codes in ASP.NET (like Microsoft's Visual Studio and Visual Web Developer). You might also be able to use Windows Notepad or another free text editor to open the ASMX file for editing as a text file. ASMX files are not intended to be viewed or opened by the browser. If you've downloaded an ASMX file and expected it to contain information (like a document or other saved data), it's likely that something is wrong with the website and instead of generating usable information, it provided this server-side file instead. Try renaming the file to the correct extension as a short term fix. For example, if when trying to download a document in the PDF format, you instead get one with the .ASMX file extension, just delete the four letters after the period and replace them with .PDF. If you find that an application on your PC does try to open the ASMX file but it's the wrong application or if you would rather have another installed program open ASMX files, see our article How to Change the Default Program for a Specific File Extension guide for making that change in Windows. How to Convert an ASMX File You might be able to use one of the Microsoft programs we mentioned above to convert an ASMX file to another format. Here's some information on migrating ASP.NET Web Services to the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) platform. This is useful if you need to use .NET 2.0 services under .NET 3.0. You can learn how to create a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file from an ASMX file with this WebReference guide. Continue Reading

Is this good news from bad messengers?
The following article comes from Brietbart's Big Government. Taken from the writings of a couple of progressive "misses," the message seems to be good news for Tea Party sorts and regular conservatives, but perhaps not so much for liberals, progressives and main-stream or establishment Republicans.
Of course being progressives from Harvard, the originators of the supposition of a long-lived Tea Party movement had to insert their obligatory thoughts (opinions?) about radicalism and prejudice against minorities among the Tea Party members. We know by now that that old dog won't hunt and never has.
Just below is the first part of the Brietbart piece followed by a link to the rest and links to related articles.
by TONY LEE 29 Dec 2013
A government and sociology professor at Harvard writes that the Tea Party is more likely than not to "win in the end" in an age when Americans are becoming more removed from Washington and distrusting the federal government and their elected officials.
"Tea Party forces will still win in the end," Theda Skocpol writes, unless moderate Republicans can defeat them. Skocpol concedes that the Tea Party "will triumph just by hanging on long enough" as Americans are getting fed up by "our blatantly manipulated democracy and our permanently hobbled government."
The article, "Why The Tea Party Isn't Going Anywhere," was first published in the journal Democracy, and later reprinted in The Atlantic.
Despite the fact that Democrats, the mainstream media, and the Republican establishment again were predicting the "demise of the Tea Party" immediately after the government shutdown ended, Skocpol doesn't believe so.
"But we have heard all this before," she writes. "The Tea Party's hold on the GOP persists beyond each burial ceremony."
Skocpol and Vanessa Williamson published a book in 2011 that "showed how bottom-up and top-down forces intersect to give the Tea Party both leverage over the Republican Party and the clout to push national politics sharply to the right."
"At the grassroots, volunteer activists formed hundreds of local Tea Parties, meeting regularly to plot public protests against the Obama Administration and place steady pressure on GOP organizations and candidates at all levels," they found. "At least half of all GOP voters sympathize with this Tea Party upsurge."
Though Skokpol and Williamson have their typical biases and describe the Tea Party movement as a "radical" one that may not like minorities–without any evidence of that assertion–they acknowledge that "even though there is no one center of Tea Party authority—indeed, in some ways because there is no one organized center—the entire gaggle of grassroots" and outside groups that support the movement "wields money and primary votes to exert powerful pressure on Republican officeholders and candidates."

'Little brother' Lions chirp back at Brandon Marshall
The Detroit Lions have a well-earned reputation for being, um, physical. Chicago Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall is less delicate about it.
"Borderline illegal," Marshall said when asked if the Lions were a dirty team (via ESPN.com). "They're borderline illegal. When I'm looking at film (Monday) it was kind of disgusting to see the D-line, like, go out of their way to knock our quarterbacks down after every single play."
The Lions don't care about that; in fact, they seemed more perturbed Tuesday that Marshall called the Lions the Bears' "little brother" and knocked the city of Detroit for going bankrupt.
"The city and what it's going through, there's no reason to attack that. That's a different situation. A lot of people are hurting off that, so there's no reason for him to come at that," guard Rob Sims told ESPN.com.
Running back Reggie Bush, who was a teammate of Marshall with the Miami Dolphins, used his own family history to respond.
"You know what's funny is that I have a little brother and growing up, I was always like the older brother, pushing him around a little bit, and now he's 6-foot-7," Bush told ESPN.com. "There's no more pushing him around anymore. He can hang with me. At some point in time, the little brother always grows up and ends up being the bigger brother."

Major literary names including Salman Rushdie, Art Spiegelman and Mario Vargas Llosa are protesting the planned $300m restructuring of the iconic Fifth Avenue branch of the New York Public Library, saying it is "a misplaced use of funds in a time of great scarcity".
A letter signed by more than 700 writers, academics and others was sent to the library yesterday, criticising plans to add a collection of books for lending to the reference library currently housed on Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street. The proposal includes moving the collections from two other branches to Fifth Avenue, adding more computers, more space and potentially a cafe. Up to three million books could also be removed from the library to a storage facility.
"NYPL will lose its standing as a premier research institution (second only to the Library of Congress in the US) – a destination for international as well as American scholars – and become a busy social centre where focused research is no longer the primary goal," say the signatories, who also include Jonathan Lethem. "One of the claims made about the [plan] is that it will 'democratise' the NYPL, but that seems to be a misunderstanding of what that word means. The NYPL is already among the most democratic institutions of its kind. Anyone can use it; no credentials are needed to gain entry. More space, more computers, a cafe, and a lending library will not improve an already democratic institution."
Others disagree: an editorial in the New York Times called the plans "both necessary and forward-thinking in this digital era", and said that "though some library lovers want nothing to change, this plan could revitalise the library and make it as much a resource for the public as it is a research haven for writers and scholars".
Designed by the architect Norman Foster, the renovation of the building on 42nd Street is scheduled to begin in 2013, with the reopening estimated to take place in 2017-8. Officials say the new library, which would be open until 11pm, will be visited by "millions more users", and that this "enlivened, democratic hub of learning and creativity would be a symbol of rebirth".
New York Public Library President Anthony Marx said his "absolute priority" was "to preserve the integrity of the library and its collections, as well as the unparalleled quality of the services we offer" in a piece for the Huffington Post.
"For the first time in more than three decades, the 42nd Street library will house a major browsable circulating collection in addition to its superb research collections. The formula is simple: more readers, plus all the books, materials, and services they need, will infuse the building with even more intellectual and creative vitality," he wrote. "Some have shared concerns that this will compromise our commitment to research. We believe instead that the circulating library will complement and reinforce research, bringing even more readers into the building who will be able to more easily explore the unique research-level collections. Researchers, in turn, will be able to take advantage of the circulating collection."

What parent hasn't felt like bedtime is a game of Whack-A-Mole? It goes something like this…you put your child to bed, minutes later they want a drink of water, you put them back to bed, minutes later they want a hug, you put them back to bed, minutes later they have to go pee, you put them back to bed, minutes later they fear there is a monster under the bed, and on and on causing you to delay your evening glass of wine. No wonder parents can relate to the book "Go The F- To Sleep."
A friend of mine forwarded me this NPR article describing the "bedtime pass" strategy for children. Its' essence, every night parents give children (preschool to elementary age) a bedtime pass card that allows them to get out of bed, for any reason, one time and then no more. Reportedly this helps parents to feel as if they are not just ignoring their children's repeated requests and helps children to feel control over their bedtime routine.
I am curious if parents have tried this strategy and how they found it to work or not and under what circumstances. Feel free to share below.
And here are a couple of other good bedtime strategies to try.
- "Monster Spray:" Just take any type of spray bottle, make a "monster spray label" to replace the original label, and viola. The next time your child worries about a monster under the bed or in the closet just bust out the "monster spray."
- Routine: Children respond well to structure and consistency and a bedtime routine helps them know what to expect. Give them notice then several reminders as time gets closer and then wrap up all activities, get jammies on, brush teeth, read a story, etc.
- Reflective Time: Have a few minutes in the evening before bed when you help your child to reflect on their day, what was the best part, what bothered them, etc. This helps them to process their day and express any challenges, worries, or sadness, which could interfere with sleep (just as that which occurs with adults when we can't seem to shut off our brains to fall asleep).
- Bedtime Buddy: Most certainly your child has a favorite stuffed animal that they can't sleep without. Use that. Make sure your child has their "bedtime buddy." Then let them know that it is their job to help their "bedtime buddy" go to sleep, by placing the "buddy" on their chest and rocking them to sleep with their breathing. This helps children practice deep breathing, which helps to calm their mind and fall asleep. Also, if your child gets out of bed, it means that they are "waking" their "bedtime buddy."
- Transition Object: Sometimes children can be afraid without their parents, particularly in the dark, or worried that their parents may leave and not return. A transition object is something belonging to parents such as a scarf or shirt that you give to your child for "safekeeping" in the night.
Good luck and sweet dreams!

With still 5% of the UK population left without fibre broadband, BT turned to Spacehive to help hard-to-reach communities crowdfund a solution. The results surprised everyone involved.
BT has teamed up with Spacehive to provide co-funding and support to help hard-to-reach communities get fibre broadband in a way that is both quick and affordable. While the initiative is still in pilot mode, seven projects have already hit their targets with communities and BT coming together to raise over £75,000 to bring fibre broadband to their area.
If your area suffers from low internet speeds, you could partner with the Crowdfunding Fibre initiative to raise the funds and support you need to install fast broadband in your area through crowdfunding.
The Benefits of Crowdfunding
Setting up a crowdfunding page allows you to set out your project clearly, attract community interest, build mailing lists, and spread the word using social media. It also helps with the logistics of raising the funds by providing a secure and convenient way to collect money while displaying contributions in a clear and transparent manner.
Once a page has been created with the details of the project, friends and neighbours can contribute online and if for some reason the project doesn't go ahead, the service will take care of giving the money back to the people who have contributed.
There are many benefits to running a crowdfunding campaign – along with raising the necessary funds, it also helps to raise awareness and support, unlock other funds as well as bringing communities together to achieve a common goal – in this case fast broadband.
Crowdfunding Success Stories
An increasing number of communities up and down the UK have turned to crowdfunding as a way of raising money for their fibre installation projects including Berkshire-based broadband campaign group 'Faster Broadband for Twyford'.
Members of the group set up a project using Spacehive, a crowdfunding platform for projects recognised crowdfunding service, to help them raise around £10,000 needed to get fibre into their community. Thanks to crowdfunding, that target was reached in a matter of weeks.
Similarly, when the residents of Tattenhoe Park in Milton Keynes needed to raise over £2000 to match fund a grant to get faster broadband they set up a Spacehive page too. Pledges quickly rolled in and now fibre is set to get rolled out to their community.
And residents of Wellow near Bath have also secured a community fibre broadband solution for their village via crowdfunding their costs. It took little over a week for their crowdfunding page to attract the amount they needed and now 90 households in the village are looking forward to greatly improved broadband speeds.
Next steps
If you're interested in finding out more about how to get fast broadband for your area through crowdfunding follow the steps below.
- Register interest in a community fibre partnership here
- BT will provide a quote for your area
- Create your fundraising page on Spacehive
- Build up community support and attract pledges
- Once money is raised, contract will be signed with BT and installation of fibre broadband will begin

Several kinds of lumber fencing are accessible as beneficial factors. Preassembled fencing may be simpler to build yet could not have the ability to adhere to the surroundings like component fencing. Individuals may rack several adjustable sections, although each person has to accommodate any subsequent sloping. Vinyl, wood and also some metal fencing are offered as paneling.
Wooden fencing has a conventional appearance however it calls for continuous servicing. People might have to stain or even paint these every couple of years. Wood fencing enhances protection along with additional privacy and is a fine option for establishing boundaries for domestic pets, kids or the like.

Horizontal railing is accessible either by divided or rounded lengths from 7 to 12 feet. Based on the area and type, wooden fencing is accessible in pine, redwood, spruce or even cedar. Redwood and cedar Fences Denver tend to be resilient to pests in addition to rot. Pine as well as spruce are usually pressure-treated to prevent decay and insects.
Vinyl is a very economical and versatile material that is widely used in interior decoration and modern exterior. ways They offer a lot of benefits which, combined with its low prices, is one of the best options people have when surrounding a property. Another major benefit to note - vinyl fences do not require ongoing maintenance which means significant savings. This is because vinyl fencing is easy to install, meaning property owners do not need to hire a professional. These fences are made with a material that allows it to not deteriorate or be affected by various weather factors.

Wire fencing can be supplemented with layers of vinyl that are easily added to increase the privacy of said space. Homeowners can also build stronger and more resilient fences, using wire and fitting them with wire studs.
Crossbar fencing is one of the most classic and rustic types of fencing available. These are fences that add visual interest and increase the attractiveness of a garden or yard. They are used to delimit areas, mainly to define the area separating one yard from that of surrounding neighbors. The crossbars are presented in different materials and different ways, some of them have round edges while others have flat sides. The one that is best will depend on the one a homeowner likes and the style they want to bring to the area. Also, this type of fencing varies in length and height, which helps the owner achieve their desired effect. This is a fantastic option by Denver Fence Comapnies because it helps to create a private feel without completely blocking out the surrounding area.
