See above Article See above Article Conquering Chronic Knee and Leg Pain By Dr. Greg Fors Knee and leg pain is extremely common; it is responsible for more than 1/3 of all doctor’s visits for muscle and bone pain. Pain in the knees and legs can occur as a result of conditions that affect bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels and nerves. Typically, the pain is a result of chronic tissue inammation caused by repetitive injury and metabolic dysfunction or disease. Since the knee and leg contains a number of structures and tissue types, a variety of conditions can cause pain that does not go away. Most chronic knee and leg pain results from wear and tear and overuse of muscles, ligaments, tendons or other soft tissues. Leg pain can also come from problems in your low back which must be properly diagnosed. A commonly missed cause of knee pain is referral pain from the hip joint. Leg pain can also be caused by blood clots, varicose veins, poor circulation or disease of the peripheral nerves called neuropathy. To be properly treated and overcome the challenge of knee and leg pain, you must have begun with a comprehensive neurological, orthopedic, myofascial and vascular examination. I’ve seen many individuals with knee and leg pain that were not properly diagnosed from the beginning. Without a proper workup to nd the underlying cause, it is impossible to correct the condition with properly applied rehabilitation. Past the age of 40 one of the most common causes of chronic knee pain is osteoarthritis. It is the most common type of osteoarthritis and affects more than 10 million Americans. Knee osteoarthritis is also the most common cause of disability in the United States. It causes gradual breakdown of the hyaline cartilage that covers the joint surfaces of the bones in the knee joint. There are no pain receptors in these cartilage joint surfaces; therefore, you are not aware of the destruction until inammation builds up in the surrounding soft tissues of the knee joint, primarily the synovium or joint capsule. Early diagnosis and proper treatment can help save you from knee replacement surgery. Along with inammation in the joint capsule, the surrounding muscles of the knee and the leg are a major source of lower extremity chronic pain. Most knee pain is myofascial in origin. There are over a dozen muscles that can cause knee pain and leg pain; they must be examined and properly treated. The primary muscles involved are the quadriceps, hamstrings, and the abductors. These muscles can harbor pain-causing myofascial trigger points or muscle knots that must be properly released. Along with myofascial trigger point therapy, traditional Chinese acupuncture is extremely effective in the reduction of knee and leg pain and improving function. There are now numerous well-designed medical studies that have found traditional Chinese acupuncture to be effective in rehabilitation of knee osteoarthritis. In clinical practice I have found that it is vital to provide the healing soft tissues proper nutritional and metabolic support, while activating repair through traditional Chinese acupuncture and myofascial therapy. There are natural substances that can provide cartilage with building blocks to repair itself such as glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin. Along with this there are specic herbs that can help reduce the inammation within the joint capsules and myofascial tissue allowing for pain reduction and healing. The most studied and effective herbs have been shown to be ginger and Curcumin root extracts along with Boswellia and other botanicals. They work best in specic combinations to reduce the inammation while stimulating repair with traditional Chinese acupuncture. Take action now!

► On April 19, 1876, a Wichita, Kan., commission votes not to rehire policeman Wyatt Earp after he beats up a candidate for county sheriff. Earp’s Remington pistol made an effective club: Whenever possible, he preferred to pistol-whip his opponents rather than shoot them.

► On April 16, 1897, Frederick Winterbotham, one of Britain’s top code breakers, is born. Winterbotham would play a decisive role in the World War II Ultra code-breaking project, enabling British intelligence to intercept top-secret messages (even from Hitler) transmitted to and between German armed forces.

► On April 21, 1930, a fi re at an Ohio prison kills 320 inmates, some of whom burn to death when they are not unlocked from their cells. The prison, built to hold 1,500 people, housed 4,300 prisoners at the time of the fi re.

► On April 17, 1964, the Ford Mustang is offi cially unveiled by Henry Ford II at the World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows, N.Y. That same day, the new car also debuted in Ford showrooms across America, and almost 22,000 Mustangs were immediately snapped up by buyers. Ford sold more than 400,000 Mustangs in its fi rst year.

► On April 28, 1789, three weeks into a journey

from Tahiti to the West Indies, the HMS Bounty is seized in a mutiny led by Fletcher Christian, the master’s mate. Captain William Bligh and 18 of his loyal supporters were set adrift in a small, open boat. Bligh and his men reached Timor in the East Indies in June, after a voyage of about 3,600 miles.

► On April 26, 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, the German military tests its powerful new air force -- the Luftwaffe -- on the Basque town of Guernica in northern Spain. One-third of Guernica’s 5,000 inhabitants were killed or wounded, and fi res engulfed the city and burned for days.

► On April 23, 1954, Hank Aaron hits the fi rst home run of his Major League Baseball career. Twenty years later, Aaron became baseball’s new home-run king when he broke Babe Ruth’s long-standing record of 714 career homers.

► On April 27, 1963, Margaret Annemarie Battavio’s very fi rst single, “I Will Follow Him,” reaches No. 1 on the U.S. pop charts. At age 15, the singer better known as Little Peggy March became the youngest female performer ever to top the Billboard Hot 100.

► On April 22, 1970, Earth Day, an event to increase public awareness of the world’s environmental problems, is celebrated in the United States for the fi rst time. Millions of Americans participated in rallies, marches and educational programs.

► On April 25, 1983, the Soviet Union releases a letter that Russian leader Yuri Andropov wrote to Samantha Smith, an American fi fth-grader from Manchester, Maine, inviting her to visit his country. Andropov’s letter came in response to a note Smith had sent him in December 1982, asking if the Soviets were planning to start a nuclear war. (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

The reason we have armpit hair is because the hairs act like wicks, moving moisture away from the skin and keeping it dry. Dry skin is healthier than moist skin. However, hair adds plenty of extra surface area for skin bacteria to cling to. Shaving cuts that area down.• Mankind through history has worked to combat body odor. Early Egyptians applied perfumed oils to the armpit, and regularly removed their underarm hair. The Greeks and the Romans followed suit, but until 1888 the only remedy for B.O. was to mask the odor with perfume and spices.• In 1888, a Philadelphia inventor stumbled on the fact that zinc prevents body odor. Zinc, like aluminum, prevents sweat from coming out of the pores, but it was decades before anyone understood why. He invented a zinc-based cream called Mum, patented it, and sold it widely. Bristol-Myers later bought him out, and Mum is still produced today, being marketed mainly in Britain. In 1902, a new antiperspirant called Ever-Dry hit the market; it was the fi rst to use aluminum chloride. It was followed in 1908 by Hush. Unfortunately all of these early brands of antiperspirant were sticky, slow drying, and irritating to the skin.

Ever-Dry was so acidic it would eat right through the fabric of a shirt.• In 1916, an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association discussed a study that showed a 25 percent solution of aluminum chloride in distilled water would reduce excessive sweating if applied to the underarm every two or three days. However, such a solution tended to cause the skin to burn, sting, and itch because aluminum chloride is corrosive, having a very low pH value.• There was a break-through in 1919 with the unveiling of a brash new antiperspirant called Odo-Ro-No. In ads in newspapers and magazines, Odo-Ro-No proudly declared that it banished “B.O.” B.O., an abbreviation for ‘body odor’, was a scandalous term. Previously, such products had euphemistically claimed that they kept a person “clean, sweet, and dainty” so to admit that people actually sweat— and to further state that sweat smelled bad— made for a shocking advertisement. “Take the Armhole Odor Test!” challenged the ads, hinting at social disasters that might ensue if one failed the test. Sales soared. • A new product called Arrid Cream was introduced in the 1930s which contained aluminum sulfate instead of aluminum chloride. This was much easier on the skin and the product sold well. The next advancement in deodorant didn’t come along until 1947 when Stoppette Spray Deodorant became the fi rst deodorant that could be applied without the fi ngers having to contact the solution. It came in a spritzing squeeze tube. In 1952, Bristol-Myers (producers of Mum) came out with the fi rst roll-on, invented by a company researcher named

Helen Barnett Diserens who was inspired by the newly invented ballpoint pen. They named the product Ban, and it is still one of the top selling deodorants today. • While scientists were trying to fi gure out how to get a man to the moon, the Gillette corporation was trying to fi gure out how to get deodorant into a can. It was a tough problem because the spray nozzle kept corroding or the deodorant would crystallize inside the can. In 1965 they got the formula right and introduced Right Guard. • Right Guard used zirconium salts instead of aluminum salts. Although it was less irritating to the skin, it acted as a deodorant but not as an antiperspirant. Five years later, Arrid Extra Dry provided both an antiperspirant and an anti-microbial deodorant in an aerosol spray. It sold so well that use of roll-ons and creams diminished, and by the mid-1970s the vast majority of deodorants used in the U.S. were aerosols. Then problems with the ozone layer surfaced. The aerosol market plummeted, to be replaced by today’s infi nite variety of pump sprays, sticks, and gels. • The FDA classifi es deodorants as

cosmetics. However, antiperspirants are classifi ed as drugs. Why the difference? Because antiperspirants technically alter the natural functions of your body. • Aluminum chloride discolors clothing and is famous for turning T-shirts yellow. Blame the antiperspirant for the armpit stains, not your sweat. • When rock star Kurt Cobain wrote the lyrics for Nirvana's breakout song "Smells Like Teen Spirit," he didn't know Teen Spirit was actually the name a popular deodorant brand. The Mennen Company, which produced the deodorant, wouldn't say whether the song caused sales to spike, but six months after the single debuted, Colgate bought the company for $670 million.• In 2008, actor Matthew McConaughey mentioned in an interview that he never uses deodorant or antiperspirant. The next day, he received a year's supply of deodorant body spray from the Axe Company, along with a note on why he might want to start. • The Service Shirts Corporation once invented a bowling shirt that had deodorant injected right into the fabric of the shirt.

I’M DONE How often do you ever get to say "I'm done" as it relates to an organizing, or any, project? Is it as many times as you would like? We have this great project, but it never really quite seems done. So what happened? Often when we start a project we

have an idea of where to start and what we want, but we haven't defi ned done before the project starts. Organizing projects that seem pretty clear cut can often turn nebulous or grow in scope because we haven't clearly defi ned our end(ing) point. Remember we talked about using a timer? It's still a great tool. You are done when the timer goes off. Doing dishes? The dishes are done when there are no more dirty ones to wash. You wouldn't continue doing dishes in the china hutch too would you? (kudos if you do) A predetermined ending point clearly defi nes when you are done and it's a great tool to keep you on track. Think about how many times a little project grew exponentially in scope. Why? We added the additional work during our task. We lost sight of our defi nition of done. Now "done" includes this other project and the original project. Defi ne done before you start. Keep your goal clearly in your mind as you work and you will certainly be a success. I'm done for today! Gee it feels good to say that.Source Provided by: Kimberly Dahline, Professional Organizer

▲ Bloodstains on clothing can be really tough to treat. The best way to get a bloodstain out of clothing is by dousing the stain with hydrogen peroxide and washing immediately as usual.

▲ I love to refi nish and paint furniture pieces and woodcrafts. I always check my local recycling center for small amounts of “recycled” paint. Usually,

someone has gotten rid of good paint, and the people at the recycling center are happy to have it used. -- B.B. in Virginia

▲ Toothpaste works well as a silver polish. Wet your silver; plop a little non-gel toothpaste on it and rub gently with a damp, clean rag. Rinse well with a separate rag, and buff dry. Then just step back and let it shine.

▲ To kick the itch from bug bites, make a mixture of half lime juice and half water. Apply to bug bites on a soaked cotton ball.

▲ When you fi nish a woodworking project, save your leftover bits of sandpaper and use them to sharpen your scissors. All you need is a piece long enough to cut through few times.

▲ “Plastic grocery bags are handy for so many uses, but keeping them organized was always a pain, until I discovered that I could use an empty tissue box to store them. I just ball up each bag individually (so there is no air trapped) and stuff it in the tissue box. You can do the same thing for larger amounts of bags by using an empty 12-pack soda box. I store one of these in my shop.” -- Fred C. from Pennsylvania (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

In which we learn a great object lesson on the value of honesty among thieves.• Eleven crooks spent months studying the Brinks trucks in Boston, memorizing their routes, their shipment schedules, their personnel, and their check-in times. They broke into the Brinks terminal many times in order to fi nd out the fl oor plan, learn the location of the safe, make extra keys for all strategic locks, and practice disabling the alarm system. On January 17, 1950, at 7:00 p.m., seven robbers pulled off their burglary, walking into the terminal wearing Halloween masks, tying up fi ve surprised employees, and walking out with over a million dollars in cash and a million and a half in checks and securities in less than 30 minutes. At the time, it was the biggest heist in U.S. history. • Knowing that it would be folly to start spending the money while the cops were on their tail, the gang agreed to lay low and hang onto the money until the statute of limitations ran out in six years. Because he had to serve a prison sentence for another crime, Joseph ‘Specs’ O’Keefe turned most of his money over to gang member ‘Big Joe’ McGinnes and asked him to hide it until the heat died down. • Most of the gang members lived quietly while waiting. But some of them continued their life of crime, including O'Keefe, who was caught while holding up an Army-Navy store in Pittsburgh. He was given three years on a gun charge, which was to be followed by a trial on a robbery charge. By the time he was fi nishing up his fi rst sentence, O’Keefe felt he would die if he had to spend any more time in jail. Paroled three months early, he went to Boston with the thought in mind of hiring the best possible lawyer to defend him in the robbery trial. But lawyers cost money.• O’Keefe went to McGinnes to ask for the money he needed. McGinnes turned him down and then hired a thug to kill him. Three different murder attempts failed, but the third attempt left O’Keefe with gunshot wounds in the wrist and chest.• O’Keefe went to the cops and fi ngered the hit man. The very next day, Boston police arrested Elmer ‘Trigger’

Burke and charged him with possession of a machine gun. Subsequently, this machine gun was identifi ed as having been used in the attempt on O'Keefe's life. • O’Keefe was arrested for violating his probation by carrying a concealed weapon. Back in jail, O’Keefe had a lot of time to think about things- particularly the fact he could either live a long life in prison or a short life as a free man.• To get even, O’Keefe spilled the beans to the cops fi ve days before the statute of limitations ran out in 1956. The entire gang was behind bars in a matter of days. All were tried, found guilty, and sentenced to life. Some of the money was recovered from a picnic cooler hidden in a wall of an offi ce that had been remodeled. • Eight of the gang members received maximum sentences of life imprisonment; except for McGinnis, who died in prison, all were paroled by 1971. O'Keefe received only four years and was released in 1960. Only $58,000 of the $2.7 million was ever recovered.• They had stolen about $2.5 million in cash and securities. The government spent $29 million trying to catch them. Revenge and resentment accomplished the job for them— no charge.

Happy National Library Week! Since 1958, we’ve observed this tribute established by the American Library Association. Here are some “book bits” for readers to chew on during this commemorative week. • The word “library” has its origins in the Latin, the word liber meaning “book.” Humans have long recognized the need for an organized archive of history. The earliest libraries dating back to 2600 BC included papyrus scrolls and clay tablets written in cuneiform script. There was even a library classifi cation system as early as 700 BC. • As French settlers made their way to North America in the 1500s, they brought their personal book collections with them. The fi rst non-personal library was established in Quebec City in 1635

at the Jesuit College. Three years later, clergyman John Harvard bequeathed his 400-volume library and half of his estate to the College at New Towne. The college was renamed Harvard College in his honor, and the library’s meager beginnings have grown into the largest academic library and third largest library overall in the United States, with close to 17 million volumes. • In the 17th and 18th centuries, as the quantity of books increased with the advent of printing, there was a considerable increase in the interest of libraries. In 1731, Benjamin Franklin introduced the idea of a “subscription library,” one that shared books among members of a literary society. People could join by purchasing “stock” in the organization, and books were lent only to members. • The Bodleian Library, the main research center for the University of Oxford, was established in 1602. By 1914, the total number of books in its collections had already passed the one million mark. • America’s fi rst actual public library was the Boston Public Library which opened its doors in 1854. Today it’s the second largest library in the U.S., second only to the U.S. Library of Congress. Established in 1800, the Library of Congress is the nation’s largest library. Originally housed in the Capitol building, its 30,000 volumes were

completely destroyed in August, 1814 when British troops set fi re to the Capitol during the War of 1812. Former president Thomas Jefferson immediately offered his personal library of 6,487 books (which he had spent 50 years collecting) for sale as a replacement, and Congress appropriated $23,950 for the purchase. • Educator and Columbia University librarian Melvil Dewey copyrighted his decimal classifi cation system for books in 1876, a system still used by most libraries. Each category, for example “Philosophy and Psychology,” is assigned a number, which is then divided into subcategories in increments of 10. • Steel magnate Andrew Carnegie gave millions of dollars to fund more than 2,500 libraries in 47. U.S. states, 7 Canadian provinces, the U.K., Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and the West Indies. Carnegie required that the local communities provide the land and a budget for operation. At the time of his death, Carnegie had already donated $351 million of his fortune – that’s $4.8 billion in today’s money. • There are close to 122,000 public and academic libraries in America, with about 8% of that number public libraries. Nearly 170 million Americans are registered borrowers, and they make about 1.6 billion trips to the library each year.

THE TOP 10 SYMPTOMS OF CABIN FEVERTHE TOP 10 SYMPTOMS OF CABIN FEVER:: 10. You begin to believe that hell can freeze over. 9. The Ice and snow is so deep the kid who shovels your walk wants health insurance and a retirement plan. 8. You tell time by the sky - dark gray = morning; light gray is afternoon; and very dark gray is evening. 7. You realize that "family togetherness" is over rated. 6. You start to think that the Donner party didn't have it all that bad. 5. You train the dog to use the toilet so you don't have to take him out. 4. When you do try to take the dog out he refuses to go. 3. A "feel good sermon" at church is about the eternal lake of fi re. 2. Your mind starts to cloud over and you forget your sons name - and he is named after you. And the number one symptom of cabin fever is - When you look in the mirror in the morning you realize that you have taken on a resemblance to Jack Nicholson in the shining.

-Shake off the dust and put away the shovels,hang up that overcoat and crawl out of your hovels.-Spring is here although it doesn't seem so, in a few weeks you'll be forgetting about this snow.-Mother nature has a reason for her ice, sleet and hail. But the laws of physics will always prevail.

-Keep the faith that summer will abound, with temperatures so warm that you may then ask where snow can be found.-This poem, like the past winter is bad, of this there is no doubt. So laugh at it, that and yourself. And instead of pouting... just get out! All the best, Tidbits
