As we honor Martin Luther King’s 90th birthday and celebrate his legacy fighting for equality, let’s remember that his dream has not yet been realized.
There’s still discrimination. There remain laws that discourage the act of voting.
In several states, the 2018 election was reminiscent of the Jim Crow era. Citizens were purged from the voter rolls in Ohio and Georgia, and communities were left without polling machines in Atlanta. In Porter County, Indiana, there were no workers to open some polling locations.
Thankfully, here in Illinois, we didn’t see nefarious attempts to obstruct voters or decrease turnout. In fact, we saw the highest midterm turnout since 1990. But that doesn’t mean our work here is done. To achieve Dr. King’s dream, we need to modernize how our elections work.
Let’s start with fully implementing automatic voter registration. Let’s ensure anyone can run for office, in part, by fixing the way our maps are drawn to make districts more competitive and more representative. Let’s mitigate how much sway big donors have in determining candidate viability, by passing small-donor financing to help everyday people afford to run for office.
Dare I say, let’s even move Chicago’s elections to a warmer season to encourage turnout?
Dr. King once said of voting, “The denial of this sacred right is a tragic betrayal of the highest mandates of our democratic tradition.” If we, as a state, are not doing everything to encourage the vote, we — in accepting the status quo — are aiding in the denial of it. Let’s make 2019 the year we end this denial and achieve more of Dr. King’s dream.
Ald. Hopkins: At the last public meeting about Lincoln Yards on Nov. 29, you promised to continue the community planning process for as long as it takes — as long as there are lingering questions and important new questions, and until those questions have been sufficiently answered.
Our organizations participated in this process. We asked you and city planners to demand changes by developer Sterling Bay on many aspects of the plan: securing public park space, inclusive housing, the development’s scale and density and the impact on existing independent music venues. We are still waiting to see how Sterling Bay addressed these issues.
Now, as you announced, Sterling Bay is making major changes. But these changes have not been presented to the community, which also needs to assess how the changes have altered the overall plan. So we were stunned and dismayed to hear that the Lincoln Yards proposal is on the Jan. 24 agenda of the plan commission.
In several recent news accounts, you stated that you might allow the hearing to go ahead if Sterling Bay provides you with a revised, detailed master plan by Jan. 24. That is unacceptable. Allowing the commission to consider the plan now would violate, and render meaningless, the entire community planning process that you have led to date.
Even if Sterling Bay has already delivered a revised plan to you, there is no time, place or process for the community to see and hear about it, to ask questions and get answers, and to provide meaningful input that helps to inform your decisions and to shape the ultimate plan.
We implore you to honor your commitment to the planning process and to the citizens of Chicago by immediately removing the Lincoln Yards Planned Development ordinances from the Jan. 24 agenda.

This volume brings together five classic works by Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik, one of the most eminent Jewish thinkers of the twentieth century. These essays – some collected here for the first time – address both perennial questions of religious existence and dilemmas specific to the modern era. They cover topics such as individual and community; the necessity of personal sacrifice in religious life; the Jewish attitude to physical pleasure, emotion, intellect, and humility; prayer; redemption; Torah study; and interfaith dialogue.
The essays serve as prime examples of the depth and insight that have earned Rabbi Soloveitchik’s writings entry into the canon of Jewish and general religious thought.
In this volume are: “The Community,” “Majesty and Humility,” “Catharsis,” “Redemption, Prayer, Talmud Torah”, and “Confrontation” (with a postscript, “On Interfaith Relationships”).

Belgica antarctica, the Antarctic midge, is a species of flightless midge, endemic to the continent of Antarctica. At 2–6 mm (0.079–0.24 in) long, it is the largest purely terrestrial animal native to the continent, as well as its only insect. It also has the smallest known insect genome as of 2014, with only 99 million base pairs of nucleotides (and about 13,500 genes).
The flightlessness of B. antarctica may be an adaptation to prevent wind from blowing it into inhospitable areas. It can survive freezing, but despite air temperatures reaching as low as −40 °C, this insect will not be alive after temperature drops under −15 °C. This is less than other cold-adapted insects. The reason for this comparatively low freezing tolerance is due to thermal buffering: just burrowing at a depth of 1 cm, temperature is stable between 0 and −2 °C for 10 months out of 12, and it seldom goes lower than −7 °C all year round. Ice and snow cover also helps keeping the temperature stable. Freezing tolerance is enhanced by cold hardening.
To adapt to the cold temperatures, B. antarctica accumulates trehalose, glucose, and erythritol. These compounds help the insect survive freezing by reducing the amount of ice that forms within the body. They also stabilize proteins and membranes, binding to them by means of hydrogen bonds. Heat shock proteins also help the tolerance to both high and low temperatures.
B. antarctica not only tolerates, but also requires a freezing climate to survive: exposure of larvae to mild temperatures as +10 °C is enough to kill them within a week. Exposure to temperatures of +30 °C kills individuals in a few hours. It can, however, resist partial desiccation, surviving the loss of up to 70% of body water.
B. antarctica spends most of its two-year lifecycle in four larval stages. Overwintering may occur in any instar. Terrestrial algae (particularly Prasiola crispa), moss, organic detritus, and microorganisms provide the food for the larval stage. The adults emerge in the spring and summer and live no more than 10 days; females mate in their first day of life and a few days later release eggs. Mating occurs in large groups of males, analogous to swarms of winged midges.

Southern Illinois University and Illinois State University are tied in the Missouri Valley Conference, and the winner of Saturday’s game will determine who pushes ahead.
The Salukis (18-8, 5-1 Missouri Valley Conference) lead the Redbirds (19-13, 5-1 MVC) in third place, while Illinois State sits in fourth place in the MVC. Illinois State defeated SIU two games to one in a three-game series March 30, 2011, in Bloomington-Normal.
Although SIU defeated Southern Illinois Unversity Edwardsville in its non-conference game Tuesday at home, Coach Kerri Blaylock said this would be the team’s third conference matchup this season.
Blaylock said she continuously tells the team not to feel pressure, especially because the tournament is at home. With a 6-1 record at home and a 5-1 record on the road, Blaylock said each game should be treated equally no matter where it’s played.
Blaylock said Illinois State is a well-coached team, especially after finishing with 36 wins in 2011, and it is off to a good start in the 2012 season.
Junior pitcher Brittany Lang said the Salukis’ gameplay would be the determining factor of succeeding past Illinois State.
With a .298 batting average, Illinois State hits the ball quite well. Lang said besides the team’s good hitters and competitiveness on the field, the Salukis would do their part to maintain their adequate defense play and get stops on the Redbirds.
Mallory Duran-Sellers, the Salukis’ co-captain and MVC Scholar-Athlete of the Week, said the team will already have the advantage over Illinois State because the game is at home,. She said being able to play on the same field the team practices on every day, along with having its great fan-base, should make for a good outcome for SIU.
“We’ve always played well on our own field,” Duran-Sellers said.
Duran-Sellers said the Redbirds, along with every other conference team, will always be a competitive challenge. No matter who steps on the field with the Salukis, the team is always ready to go up against any competition, she said.
“We have a game plan set, and we will come in focused and ready to compete with a high level of intensity,” she said.

Join us for an evening of improvised performances from Aleks Slota and mormorr.
Aleks Slota (b. 1978, Poland) is a conceptual artist working primarily in the mediums of performance and sound art. He has performed internationally as himself and with the collaborative sound group OKO.
Slota creates performances that follow three simple rules, no rehearsing, no acting, and no entertainment. These rules allow for improvised and dynamic works that challenge audience engagement and the perceived safe space of the performance venue. His work has been described as having a postmodern gothic sensibility, emerging from the influence of the metal, punk, and noise music scenes.
mormorr violist Marie & electronicsist Kamil create tangled, raw, organic sounds out of their love for animals and mushrooms. sometimes they sound like roots of plants growing in the middle of a forest, and sometimes like a yawning badger + anything in between.

Everybody is dreaming of having a luxurious kitchen with all wood furniture. That is why; this kind of design requires lots of money from your pocket. Not only that it is expensive to install and get the material, keeping up its beauty to last forever also requires lots of budget. Even if you only have a solid wood kitchen table in your kitchen, somehow, you still need some more knowledge to keep its lavishness. Here are some hints for you.
Maintaining your solid wood kitchen table’s natural beauty and protect your investment, it needs the right care. Most wood furniture coated with a plasticized film which is mostly known as finish. It can enrich the grain and add luster to your solid wood table as well as seal and protect the wood from moisture, dirt and regular use. There are various kinds of it starts from nitrocellulose lacquers to more complex polyester resins which protects the wood from extreme temperature and humidity. Each solid wood furniture reacts differently depending on the type or species of wood used.
To protect your precious solid wood kitchen table, you can start with using tablecloths, runners and table pads to protect the surface from regular and heavy use of your dining table. Remember to put on hot pads when placing warm serving dishes on a tabletop to protect it from getting burnt. Avoid extremely hot items such as a sauce pan or baking dish since a hot pad is not enough to prevent the heat from burning the table surface. Placemats can help to protect the finish from dishes and silverware while coasters can help protect your furniture from moisture.
Keep your solid wood kitchen table away from direct sunlight and the damaging UV rays. If you can’t help it, tinting your windows is another consideration and sometimes even recommended will protect your tabletops from scratches when used on the bottom of lamps, vases and other accessories. If the finish has been damaged, call a professional for an evaluation since they know what to do. Cleaning your solid wood kitchen table regularly with soft lint free cotton cloth dampened with water or furniture polish following the pattern of the grain can help in maintaining the value your fine furnishings. Dusting and cleaning removes the build up of grease, lint and dust that can get ground into or soften the finish.

Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) is one of three sets of use cases defined for 5G. As an extension to existing 4G broadband services, they will be the first commercial 5G services to launch but they will go far beyond just enabling faster download speeds. Read on to find out what eMBB is and what it will allow us to do.
Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) is one of three primary 5G New Radio (NR) use cases defined by the 3GPP as part of its SMARTER (Study on New Services and Markets Technology Enablers) project.
Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB): data-driven use cases requiring high data rates across a wide coverage area.
Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC): strict requirements on latency and reliability for mission critical communications, such as remote surgery, autonomous vehicles or the Tactile Internet.
Massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC): need to support a very large number of devices in a small area, which may only send data sporadically, such as Internet of Things (IoT) use cases.
Below we explain in detail what eMBB will enable, but many, many things will rely on it, from AR and VR to real-time translation and generally just making the mobile internet experience faster and more seamless.
It’s the aspect of 5G that’s arguably the most obvious evolution of what 4G does – enabling newer and better versions of experiences that we can already have, as well as some completely new stuff.
eMBB will initially be an extension to existing 4G services and will be among the first 5G services, which could be commercially available as early as 2019. Ericsson estimates that there will be one billion 5G subscriptions for eMBB globally by 2023, with Asia and North America likely to be the first adopters.
To enable the early rollout of eMBB services, in March 2017 the 3GPP’s RAN Group committed to finalise the Non-standalone (NSA) 5G NR variant by March 2018. In fact, the standard was approved in December 2017, so if anything we’re ahead of schedule. The NSA mode uses the existing 4G network, supplemented by 5G NR carriers to boost data rates and reduce latency. The Standalone (SA) variant is to be completed by September 2018 for the new 3GPP 5G core network architecture.
Thus, eMBB can be seen as the first phase of 5G, which will be encompassed in the 3GPP Release 15 standards update due for completion in the third quarter of 2018. 5G Phase 2 will go beyond eMBB services to more transformational URLLC and mMTC applications and will be included in Release 16, which is due to be completed at the end of 2019.
Taking connected cars as an example, the first phase of eMBB services will involve enhanced in-vehicle infotainment, like real-time traffic alerts, high-speed internet access, streaming real-time video or playing games involving 3D 4K video. The second phase would be autonomous vehicles on a mass scale able to connect to and interact with other vehicles and the surrounding road infrastructure.
eMBB is a natural evolution to existing 4G networks that will provide faster data rates and therefore a better user experience than current mobile broadband services. However, it will go beyond merely faster downloads to provide an increasingly seamless user experience that will eclipse the quality of service we currently enjoy from fixed broadband technologies. Ultimately it will enable 360o video streaming, truly immersive VR and AR applications and much more.
Higher capacity – broadband access must be available in densely populated areas, both indoors and outdoors, like city centres, office buildings or public venues like stadiums or conference centres.
Enhanced connectivity – broadband access must be available everywhere to provide a consistent user experience.
Higher user mobility – will enable mobile broadband services in moving vehicles including cars, buses, trains and planes.
These categories of use cases will have different requirements. In a ‘hotspot’ scenario where there are a lot of users, for example spectators at a sporting event, there will be a requirement for very high traffic capacity to meet the needs of all the users, but those users will be static or moving slowly so the requirement for mobility will be low. In contrast, providing eMBB services to passengers in a high-speed train will require a high degree of mobility but the traffic capacity would be lower than that of a hotspot. Somewhere in the middle, coverage of a wide area would require a medium level of mobility and, while the data throughput would be higher than is currently possible, it may not need to be as high as in a hotspot. They key criteria here is seamless coverage.
Traffic capacity of 10Mbps per square metre in hotspot areas.
Data transfer rates experienced by the user of up to 1Gbps, with peak data transfer rates in the tens of Gbps and whole traffic volume of at least 1Tbps per square kilometre.
Latency of 1ms for user experienced data exchange.
Connection density of up to one million connections per square kilometre.
High mobility up to 500km/hour in high-speed trains and up to 1,000km/hour in airplanes, with enhanced user experience.
Early eMBB use cases centre on the consumer market and the need for better and faster connectivity to handle higher quality video content, the growth in user-generated content and our expectations of being able to stream what we want, where we want and when we want, without needing to log onto a WiFi network. In a recent survey conducted by Statistica, 48% of respondents said the top 5G use case would be never having to log onto a public Wi-Fi service again, and the same number pointed to lightning-fast browsing.
Clearly, the first need is for 5G to deliver the services we already use, but better, with no latency issues, intermittent connectivity or dropped connections, even in challenging network conditions like crowded locations or in moving vehicles.
But eMBB is not just about the consumption of multimedia content for entertainment purposes. It will support a commuter accessing cloud-based apps on the way to work, remote workers out in the field needing to communicate with the back office, or indeed an entire smart office where all devices are wirelessly and seamlessly connected. Ultimately it will enable applications from fully immersive VR and AR to real-time video monitoring and virtual meetings with 360o video, real-time interaction and even real-time translation for participants speaking different languages.
eMBB will also evolve to work across all connected devices and not just smartphones, from the increasing range of video-capable devices now at our fingertips to the VR and AR glasses that will in time become pervasive in society and our working lives.

Sensitiveness to loud noises or any form of bright lights.
Very little information is available about the exact cause of Fibromyalgia. It is affected with psychiatric disorders. There is a considerable amount of debate on whether Fibromyalgia is an actual disease that can be clearly defined or cured. Some experts are of the opinion that Fibromyalgia could be associated with infections, physical or emotional trauma, genetics or a combination of all these. Some researchers are also of the opinion that Fibromyalgia in India may be due to problems with the autonomic nervous system.
Hi, I am Lizy Novia. I am from Nigeria and came to India for treating fibromyalgia. I was very much involved in my work and family when suddenly one day I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. While searching online about this condition, I found your website quite informative and contacted you. A nice and kind executive responded back and asked me to send my medical reports which they will discuss with their panel of experts and reply me back with doctor’s opinions. The hospital in India was hygienic and had a world class infrastructure. My surgeon and his staff took care of me and made me feel easy by clearing all my doubts. The staff was awesome and very caring. The surgery was easy and I hardly had to take any pain meds. I wish I would have done this surgery years ago. I would definitely recommend you to anyone needing surgery in India at such reasonable costs.
As far as the diagnosis of Fibromyalia is concerned, doctors undertaken an analysis of the areas of the body to find out the extend of the pain. They also ask on a scale of 0 to 3, on how severe the symptoms are. The main objective of the diagnosis process is to find out whether the symptoms have been consistent for the last 3 months.
Since Fibromyalgia has a variety of symptoms, a combination of treatments is often recommended in addition to medication. Anti seizure drugs like Pregabalin and antidepressants like Cymbalta and Savella are approved by the food and drug administration for treating Fibromyalgia.
In the overall context, it is specific to the individual’s constitution, geographical conditions and the nature of work.
Why Choose Indian Hospital for Treating Fibromyalgia?
If one is on the lookout for Low cost Fibromyalgia Treatment in India or Affordable Fibromyalgia in India then the hospitals will not disappoint you for sure. The question which might strike you is how the Indian hospitals are able to provide such high quality of services. The answer to this question is the differential cost in labor has a role to play along with the high standards of education undertaken by the medical staff. Most of them have had their education in the western countries of the world and later on come to India to practice their skills. Free consultation for Fibromyalgia in India is provided by most of the top notch hospitals in the country where you can find out whether surgery is the only option.
If you are really seeking treatments for Fibromyalgia, kindly fill up the form for a free consultation with our surgeons. You will be provided with thorough analysis and suggestions regarding the treatments for Fibromyalgia you are seeking.
For the most part, routine laboratory testing reveals nothing. However, upon physical examination, patients will be sensitive to pressure in certain areas of the body, called tender points. To meet the diagnostic criteria (set forth for research purposes), patients must have widespread pain in all four quadrants of their body for a minimum duration of three months and at least 11 of the 18 specified tender points. The 18 sites used for diagnosis cluster around the neck, shoulder, chest, hip, knee, and elbow regions (more than 90% of these areas are myofascial trigger points). However, if a person has widespread pain, at least six or more tender points and many of the commonly associated symptoms of fibromyalgia (such as disturbed sleep, irritable bowel syndrome, frequent headaches, fatigue, and memory problems), they should still be diagnosed and treated for fibromyalgia. Roughly 75% of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)- diagnosed patients will meet the fibromyalgia criteria. If you have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome, but you are unsure about the diagnosis, or you are concerned you have something else that mimics these conditions.
Traditional treatments are geared toward reducing pain and improving the quality of sleep, meaning that a sleep study may aid with individualizing your therapy. Deep level (stage 4) sleep is crucial for many body functions (such as tissue repair, antibody production, and the regulation of various neurotransmitters, hormones, and immune system chemicals). Therefore, the sleep disorders that frequently occur in fibromyalgia patients should probably be treated first because they may aggravate the symptoms of this condition. Ambien, Lunesta, clonazepam, and trazodone are just a few of the medications that may be used to aid sleep. For addressing the pain and the symptoms in general, medications that boost serotonin and norepinephrine (neurotransmitters that modulate sleep, pain, and immune system function) are commonly prescribed in low doses, such as amitriptyline, cyclobenzaprine and Cymbalta. Ultram may help with the pain, although stronger opioids may be needed. Muscle relaxants, anti-epileptics (such as Neurontin and Lyrica) and other drug categories may be prescribed as well.
In addition to medications, most patients will need to use other treatment methods, such as trigger point injections with lidocaine, physical therapy, occupational therapy, acupuncture, acupressure, relaxation/biofeedback techniques, osteopathic manipulation, chiropractic care, therapeutic massage, or a gentle exercise program.
Lifestyle modifications may help you conserve energy and minimize pain. Learn what factors aggravate your symptoms and avoid them when possible. Many patients find warm water (hot tub or shower) to be soothing. Hot wraps for particularly painful areas are also beneficial. Maintaining a rigid sleep schedule (e.g., ensuring that you receive at least eight hours of sleep per night and that you have a routine for easing you into sleep) is one method endorsed by patients to help minimize daytime fatigue and reduce nighttime sleep difficulties. Gentle movement and stretching exercises will help you maintain your function, which is essential when the body is tired and the muscles hurt.
No, but there are researched treatments that have been shown to be helpful for reducing the symptoms. Patients need to beware of the many bogus cures that are being promoted on the Internet and in the media. Many businesses count on people who are desperate to get rid of chronic, unrelenting pain (such as that produced by fibromyalgia). If a remedy sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Why do some doctors think that the pain is all in my head?
Doctors cannot “see” and may not understand the sources of your pain or fatigue. However, what they do observe is your anxiety and frustration with having to deal with these symptoms around-the-clock, which may wrongfully lead them to conclude that your symptoms are of a psychological nature. Also, the old school of thought regarding pain is that it is produced by tissue injury, and there is no obvious source of tissue injury in patients with fibromyalgia. Regardless, if your doctor does not believe that your symptoms are real, you owe it to yourself to find another doctor who believes in you and will work with you to help reduce your symptoms.
Why does my doctor think I just need to exercise?
Although some degree of regular exercise is essential for maintaining function, and if done in warm water, it can improve circulation. Yet, exercise alone will not be enough to treat your fibromyalgia. Many studies on the use of exercise to treat fibromyalgia have been published over the years, and while the documented benefits are minimal, these studies are heavily promoted at medical conferences and widely publicized in the medical journals. Exercise is easy to prescribe and doesn’t cost anything, so it tends to be one of the first therapies that a doctor recommends for fibromyalgia. Yet, you have to be careful because over-working any one muscle will cause others to hurt more.
What is fibromyalgia pain like?
The pain of fibromyalgia has no boundaries. People describe the pain as deep muscular aching, throbbing, shooting, and stabbing. Intense burning may also be present. Quite often, the pain and stiffness are worse in the morning, and you may hurt more in muscle groups that are used repetitively. Read more about muscle stiffness and repetitive activity in fibro.
What is the fatigue like?
This symptom can range from mild to incapacitating. The fatigue has been described as “brain fatigue”—patients feel totally drained of energy. Many patients say that they feel as though their arms and legs are tied to concrete blocks, and they have difficulty concentrating (i.e., brain fog). Fibromyalgia fatigue is definitely not just being tired!
I have trouble sleeping. Is this part of the fibromyalgia?
Most fibromyalgia patients have an associated sleep disorder called the alpha-EEG anomaly. This condition was uncovered in a sleep lab with the aid of a machine that recorded brain waves of patients during sleep. Researchers found that most fibromyalgia patients could fall asleep without much trouble, but their deep level (or stage 4) sleep was constantly interrupted by bursts of awake-like brain activity. Patients appeared to spend the night with one foot in sleep and the other one out of it.
If you wake up feeling as though you’ve just been run over by a Mack truck—what doctors refer to as “unrefreshing sleep”—it is reasonable for your physician to assume that you have a sleep disorder. However, to pinpoint the types of sleep disturbances present, an overnight sleep study may be warranted. In addition to the alpha-EEG finding, other sleep disorders have been identified in fibromyalgia patients, including sleep apnea (as well as the newly discovered form of interrupted breathing called upper airway resistance syndrome, or UARS), bruxism (teeth grinding), periodic limb movements during sleep (jerking of arms and legs), and restless legs syndrome (difficulty sitting still in the evenings).
I have a lot of GI problems. Are these symptoms part of fibromyalgia?
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), which can include constipation, diarrhea, frequent abdominal pain, abdominal gas, and nausea is found in roughly 40 to 70% of fibromyalgia patients. In addition, Gastrointestinal Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), is equally common in people with fibromyalgia. This can include heartburn, chest pain, regurgitation, indigestion, and a chronic cough, among other symptoms.
How common are headaches in fibromyalgia?
Recurrent migraine or tension-type headaches are seen in about 70% of fibromyalgia patients and can pose a major problem in coping for this group. For some people, aggressive treatment of the migraines also provides tremendous relief of the overall pain of fibromyalgia. Myofascial trigger points, or those knots in your neck and shoulder muscles, are the primary cause of your headaches and they can be treated.
What factors aggravate the symptoms of fibromyalgia?
Changes in weather, cold or drafty environments, hormonal fluctuations (premenstrual and menopausal states), stress, depression, anxiety, infections (flu or a cold), and over-exertion can all contribute to symptom flare-ups. Repetitive use of the same muscle group can strain the muscles and lead to more pain.
Is fibromyalgia genetic (i.e., does it run in families)?
Fibromyalgia does run in families and there appears to be a strong genetic component. If one parent has this condition, the odds that a child will develop, it is estimated to be 50%. Many research studies are under way to look at the genetic abnormalities that might be linked to various neurotransmitters involved in both pain and sleep regulation.
What medical specialist should I see for treating my fibromyalgia?
The best doctor to see is one who has lots of experience treating fibromyalgia patients. There is no specific medical specialty that “owns” this condition, so it is important to inquire about a physician’s level of experience and their general philosophy for treating fibromyalgia.
Do fibromyalgia get worse over time?
Studies show that roughly 25% of patients get worse over time, but another 25% get better. Some patients may be likely to improve because they have a good doctor willing to work with them to find which therapies they respond to. Also, as people age, other medical conditions can aggravate the symptoms of fibromyalgia, so it is imperative that patients seek aggressive treatment for age-related conditions, such as arthritis. A preventive medicine program with maintenance exercises and a healthy diet may prove worthwhile.
Balancing work and chronic illness is always a challenge, but most patients with fibromyalgia are able to remain employed. The answer to this question really depends upon one’s job and whether job accommodations can be made to ease the symptoms. Also, the development of other medical conditions may make fibromyalgia symptoms more severe and lead to the need to consider early retirement or disability. Studies show that roughly 25% of fibromyalgia patients receive some form of disability compensation at any given time.

The Indianapolis Colts are without a bevy of stars on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but will have T.Y. Hilton after he was listed as questionable.
The Colts are not having the season they envisioned back in training camp. Andrew Luck is going to miss the entire year after a shoulder surgery and subsequent drama. Vontae Davis was terrible when he played and then got cut after mysteriously being made inactive last weekend.
However, good news Colts fans! T.Y. Hilton is going to suit up against the Steelers on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium, giving somebody for Jacoby Brissett to target.
Colts WR T.Y. Hilton, listed as questionable for today with groin injury, will play vs. Steelers, per source.
Hilton is easily the team’s best weapon — and best player — on the Colts, a team that is 3-6 and barely hanging on to any realistic thoughts of making a postseason run.
Hilton has been terrific this year, coming into this weekend as second-best in receiving yards with 702. Only Antonio Brown has been better, checking in with an absurd 835.
Indianapolis should be dominating what is a mediocre AFC South, but can’t get healthy. It stands to reason that if Luck was on the field, and if the front office (Chris Ballard or Ryan Grigson) could even provide him with an average defense, Indianapolis would be a stone-cold lock in the NFL’s version of the D-League.
Instead, the Colts are sitting in last place of the division, even after beating the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium last week. It’s another lost year for a team that has one of the most gifted quarterbacks in league history in his prime. Not great.

The Supreme Court's Citizens United decision "will warp our democracy forever," says de Blasio, "if we let it do so." The challenge to progressives is to refocus and re-energize grassroots attention on the destructive role money plays in politics.
The challenges facing progressives of late are many, but so are the avenues through which they can be tackled. New York City Public Advocate Bill De Blasio stopped by The Nation's offices July 15 to explain some of the ways these challenges can be turned into opportunities for progressives. The left, de Blasio says, must refocus and re-energize attention around corporate money in politics and the Supreme Court's decision in the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission case. "That decision will warp our democracy forever if we let it do so. It's such a horrible, beautifully written decision that it leaves us very few courses of action." he said. "We have to demand a recalibration of our approach, and the only way that happens is through the grassroots."

NORTON SHORES – They won an O-K Black championship this season. They set hitting records.
But the three fourth-year seniors on the Mona Shores softball team had never won a district championship.
That finally changed on Saturday.
The Sailors jumped out to a 5-1 lead on Grand Haven in the Division 1 district championship game on their home field, then withstood a Grand Haven rally to claim a 7-5 victory and that elusive district title.
The triumph clinched Mona Shores’ first district title since 2014. The Sailors, who are now 27-14 overall, advance to next Saturday’s regional round to face conference rival Jenison.
For seniors Taylor Dew, Veronica Kastelic and Grace Hall, the district title was better late than never.
Kastelic got the Sailors off to a roaring start, blasting an opposite-field home run to right-center off Bucs’ starter Madi Shumaker. Mona Shores added two more runs in the first inning, aided by a pair of Grand Haven errors.
Grand Haven got a run back with a sacrifice fly from Haley Aldred in the bottom of the first.
Grand Haven coach John Hall inserted senior Baby Hang into the pitching circle in the second inning, but Mona Shores again showcased its home run power.
Taylor Dew, who is battling to keep her lead in the race for the all-time state home run crown, connected on what at first appeared to be a long fly ball that kept drifting until it cleared the left field fence.
Mona Shores led 5-1 after two innings.
The Bucs scored a run on a Sailors’ error in the third inning, but an RBI double from Kastelic in the fourth gave the Sailors a seemingly safe 6-2 advantage.
Grand Haven made things interesting by scoring two runs in the fifth inning to make the score 6-4. The uprising was keyed by an RBI double from Shumaker.
But the Sailors answered in a clutch way in the sixth with a two-out shot to the gap by Hall that scored Kastelic and gave the hosts a three-run cushion.
Mona Shores coach Jason Crago said consistent hitting throughout his lineup was a key to his team’s two victories on the day.
Grand Haven scored on an error to cut its deficit to two runs in the bottom of the seventh, but Sailors’ pitcher Lauryn Patterson got a called third strike to end the contest.
Patterson wasn’t overpowering, with just a pair of strikeouts during the contest, but she mixed in a changeup to keep Grand Haven hitters off-balance. She allowed six hits and walked just one.
Crago praised the play of Erika Dakin, who had a pair of hits and had a strong defensive effort at third base for the Sailors.
In the semifinals, Crago said he didn’t expect his squad to jump all over the defending district champions from West Ottawa, but the Sailors rolled to a mercy-shortened 15-0 victory.
The Bucs got past Reeths-Puffer 6-1 to advance to the finals.
