In the second phase, mobilisation must begin as soon as possible but gradually and within the limits of pain,Mobilisation has shown to improve injured skeletal muscle regeneration.
Cardiovascular conditioning programme should be performed with low impact. Since core stability programmes have been shown to improve results in terms of lower re-injury rates and enhanced return to play, they must be introduced along with the specific rehabilitation programme of the injured muscle.
After 2 or 3 weeks of injury, tension should be applied in the line of normal stresses for proper remodelling anatomically and functionally.
Proprioceptive and endurance training are used in the advanced stages of rehabilitation. After the athlete has regained full, pain-free active ROM and over 90% strength bilaterally, full participation is allowed. Maintenance programmes should be continued to avoid any dysfunctional adaptation or compensation..

The Cameron Vale Cabernet Sauvignon is a true reflection of the vintage conditions. Aromas of pure blackcurrant dominate on the nose, with underlying mulberry and blackberry and hints of licorice and spice. The palate is typical cabernet with bold, chalky tannins as the backbone, combined with rich black fruit flavours complemented by complex cedar notes that persist on the finish. This is a masculine style of Cabernet, bold in every way! Although drinking well now, with careful cellaring this wine will develop further for 10 plus years. The rich, complex and supple characters of this wine are a delicious match to roast leg of lamb, lamb chops or braised beef.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. manufacturing grew slowly last month after shrinking in November and hiring increased. The modest gain suggests the economy entered the new year with some momentum.
Those of you who have followed this blog for more than half a year will already know at least a bit about the origins of my story Hole for a Heart, but there’s still more that can be said, so don’t fear too much in the way of redundancy.
The seed of this story was planted on a bus trip from southern Florida to Ohio, where I was going to visit my parents. As I’ve described before, while passing through a relatively hilly area of central Florida, I saw, through the west-facing bus window, a tall tree near a highway exit. Underneath it stood what appeared to be a scarecrow. The Greyhound moved far too quickly for me to make out any details, and unlike Jon in the story, I did not have the option to stop. But it was an interesting sight, partly because, like Jon, I couldn’t really see the point of putting up a scarecrow under a tree on a hill near a highway exit. Neither was it anywhere near Halloween. I wondered what the story behind it might be. So, I quickly pulled out my smartphone and jotted down the sight as a possible story trigger.
The actual tale itself didn’t really form until several months later, more or less all at once. This happened at the beginning of October, just in time for me to finish it and publish a draft on my blog for Halloween. This happy coincidence helped inspire me to crank away at the tale, though it led me to first publish it in less than ideally polished form.
The protagonist of the story, Jonathan Lama, is named after two people I’ve known. The first name was given in memory of a friend of mine from work, who died of what I believe was a semi-deliberate drug overdose, and it is his form I see when I think of the character. The last name is that of someone still living, and who appears to be doing much better, rebuilding a life that had almost been destroyed in a similar fashion. Quite apart from being a way to give an homage to these two people, I think the combination of one dead and one living person somehow suits the character of Jon (the one in the story), who is in some ways—as his former girlfriend would no doubt say—not actually living his life. This could, of course, be confabulation on my part; I don’t honestly recall exactly what my thought process was in deciding on the name, except that it certainly was chosen after the two people I just mentioned.
The title of this story is a fairly obvious reference to the state and fate of the “scarecrow” on the hill. That dead (?) remnant of Joshua Caesar, that scourge of western central Pennsylvania in the late forties and early fifties, is missing its heart, having had it cut out by his vengeful neighbors when they had finally decided to take justice into their own hands. But that’s not the only reference to which it applies, nor was it the original meaning for the story’s title. In fact, it’s Jon himself who bears the titular empty cavity in his torso. Despite being truly gifted and brilliant at his chosen field, Jon has a near-nihilistic ambivalence toward life, toward attempting anything that involves real commitment and stress. He sees no point in struggling in a world where all lives end, and everyone leaves with exactly that with which they arrived. This ambivalence had cost Jon the love of his life (who shared a name with the ill-fated former object of Joshua Caesar’s affections), a loss that had further hollowed out his own metaphorical chest.
I like the supernatural elements of this story, and I like the juxtaposition of Jon’s and Joshua Caesar’s two very different personal philosophies. The latter is a Nietzschean, “the strong and the superior do what they like and are responsible for the greatness of humanity,” point of view, while the former is, as I said, practically nihilistic. But I think my very favorite elements of this story are the gas station clerk, Matty, and his employer, Mr. McGlynn. I just find them both quite likeable; I enjoy their conversations with each other and with Jon. Clearly, Matty is not the very brightest of sparks, but he’s smarter than he seems at first glance, and is earnest and well-meaning in his way. McGlynn, quite sharp indeed, is in superficial ways like Jon. He’s content to live a simple life running a gas station next to the interstate, despite probably being capable of more. But on closer inspection, his attitude is worlds apart from Jon’s. There’s no despair or sense of meaninglessness in McGlynn’s philosophy of life; he seems to enjoy himself very much, in his way, and he clearly has affection and respect for his young employee, and for his customer. He does take a mischievous and slightly sadistic satisfaction in telling a story that might horrify both Jon and Matty, but I think he can be forgiven for this.
I would think that, though, wouldn’t I?
As with many of my short stories, this one leaves us all hanging at the end, me included. I wonder at times just what the new driver of the restored ’97 Mustang will do after he pulls onto the interstate at the end of the tale, and whether this path will take him to Chicago, to seek out a young woman who had, in her own way, stolen Jon’s heart before the story ever began. More than that, though, I think it would be fun, if we had world enough and time, to follow Matty and McGlynn. I’d like to visit that gas station, to stop and share conversations with the two of them—perhaps while drinking a cup of gas station coffee—to listen to McGlynn’s tales of local history and legend, while Matty hangs raptly and unabashedly on his words.
I think I’d listen just as enthusiastically.

Organizer Carol Clitherow said the event started locally in 1988 as a way to help seniors become more active and gain a healthy, competitive spirit with those in their age bracket.
“It’s been a very popular event, and it’s good to keep seniors active, involve them in social interaction and competition,” Clitherow said.
Liz Plozner, supervisor at the Centre Region Senior Center, said each year there are typically around 200 participants and about 20 volunteers who help run the program.
This year, Clitherow added, there are 175 athletes ranging from age 50 to 103, and that includes a father-daughter duo. But Tuttle is not the oldest participant to ever be a part of the games. Clitherow said Helen Hazel-Ryder, who competed at last year’s event, was 104. She died shortly after at 105.
This year, Clitherow said, “mental aerobic games” were added to keep participants’ brains sharp, in addition to making all athletes eligible for awards.
And the planning process is an ongoing activity to make sure the games are successful each year. Clitherow said the planning starts several months before the games begin.
“It’s always on the back of our minds, but we really start about eight months ahead of time preparing venues and encouraging seniors to take part,” Clitherow said.
Clitherow said all residents of Centre County are eligible for the games held at various venues around the county, and she encourages all seniors to join.
The last competitions are held Wednesday and are the largest events of the series. The day includes a luncheon with awards, in addition to the last games such as the basketball hotshot, the softball and football throw and the in- and outdoor walk.
All senior athletes involved in the county events also are eligible to participate in the Keystone State Games held near York in August.
The purpose of the club is to connect GW students with community involvement, allow students to learn survival skills, create school-wide activities that would invite participation from students and staff, and assist GW students and their families in need.
There is no cost, and a snack will usually be provided.

A combined league bringing together the best football clubs in Eastern Europe, including three winners of the UEFA cup - CSKA Moscow, Zenit St Petersburg and Shakhtar Donetsk - may become a reality following UEFA’s deadline to force financial fair play requirements.
Ukraine and Russia’s leading football clubs are heavily subsidised by sponsorship and, unless they manage to considerably improve their income, will have to either say goodbye to all their expensive players, or cease to compete in European competitions.
Former CSKA Moscow coach and head of the united Russian - Ukrainian league’s organising committee Valery Gazzaev, believes that a new championship will help to solve the problem. The theory is simple: a cross border league will be more attractive for football fans and that means more interest from TV and sponsors.
"Games between top Russian and Ukrainian football clubs have always attracted extra attention among fans, not only in our countries but around the world ... I believe that integration of clubs from different countries will boost interest and financial support for the sport."
"Games between top Russian and Ukrainian football clubs have always attracted extra attention among fans, not only in our countries but around the world. Taking into account financial crises in Russia and Europe, I believe that integration of clubs from different countries will boost interest and financial support for the sport,” Gazzaev told Al Jazeera.
The idea of a united league was championed by Gazprom’s head Aleksey Miller.
Gazprom, Russia’s natural gas monopoly which owns Russian champions Zenit St. Petersburg and sponsors the UEFA Champions League, is proposing an impressive €1 billion ($1.3bn) budget for the Russian-Ukrainian league and could award an attractive €92m ($118m) prize for the league’s winner. The intention to build a new Russian-Ukrainian league looks more and more realistic after the league announced its budget, formed an organising committee, opened an office in the centre of Moscow and created an official facebook page.
The championship, which will bring top clubs from Russia and Ukraine under one umbrella, has already found a lot of supporters in Russia’s Premier League. President of Moscow’s CSKA Yevgeny Giner, FC Zenit’s president Alexander Dukov, and head of Anzhi's board of directors Konstantin Remchukov are among strong supporters of the combined championship.
Top-flight clubs from the Russian Premier League have gathered together to discuss the joint league’s perspectives and vote for the project.
On the 18 February the Russian Premier League said 'yes'.
However there is no such enthusiasm in Ukraine. Many there think that a united championship for Russia and Ukraine is nothing more than someone’s ambitious idea which is practically unrealistic given that there is no approval from FIFA and UEFA.
“We can’t talk about a United Championship without knowing the official position of FIFA, UEFA and the Ukrainian Football Union,” a Ukrainian Premier League press officer told Al Jazeera.
Ukraine’s top clubs and former UEFA Cup champions FC Shakhtar Donetsk and FC Dynamo Kiev have publicly expressed their support and interest toward the united Russian-Ukrainian football league but stressed that they are not pushing the project forward unless there is a common decision among all clubs in the Ukrainian premier league.
In the meantime, the president of the Ukrainian Football Federation Anatoliy Konkov has expressed a firm ‘no’ to the project. His argument is that by taking part in the united football championship Ukraine will lose the opportunity to participate in the Champions league and the Europa league.
“The President of the Ukrainian Football Federation sees no reason for the Russian and Ukraine premier leagues to combine into one organisation. The Ukrainian premier league is strong enough by itself,” explained FFU spokesman Pavel Ternovoy.
While discussion around a united football league continues, Ukraine and Russia’s best four football clubs are planning to play a friendly tournament in June this year, as a first step toward the united league.
Gazprom’s CEO Alexey Miller believes that the Russian-Ukrainian joint football league may kick off as early as 2014, but if the countries are unable to reach agreement soon enough, then the aim is to launch the league by 2015.
How to pick a costume that keeps you cute AND warm!
Need to know how to pick a costume that keeps you cute AND warm? Need a costume last minute? Read on!
According to the Farmer’s Alamanac, this year will be cold and snowy in the North East and Midwest United States, and cold and rainy in the North West and South West. That’s basically the entire country getting a cold front this Winter! And though yes, technically, Halloween happens in the Fall, it can still get too cold for comfort even on warm years.
But this is an easy problem to solve! Just pick up a last minute Halloween costume that is warm, cute, and easy to pull together from stuff you probably already have.
Pssst! If you need a last minute costume, this list is also for you!
Especially since it’s a weird source of pride of mine to not buy a cheap polyester plastic costume to use just once a year, or even worse just once ever, it’s important to me to be able to pull something together from stuff I have last minute.
Besides, even if you’re an outfit procrastinator, you deserve to be able to Google something up real quick and find a costume that looks cool and is practical.
Because you deserve better than to freeze all night just for the sake of being cute!
Katniss is badass and simply dressed, which is a great combination for a last minute outfit!
If you have a burgundy motorcycle jacket and pants with cool zippers on them as well as motorcycle boots, then you have enough gear to make a good enough Starlord costume. The mask is a cool addition, but it’s really not necessary to give off the vibe that you are Star-Lord, especially if you wear any Guardians of the Galaxy paraphanelia like the new GOTG emoji pins Disney just released on your jacket or you carry around a figurine.
Beetlejuice is creepy and crawly, but perfect if you have some makeup and the right kind of suit set for the look- or if the thrift store does!
Whether you stan the first movie or you love the Johnny Depp remake, Willie Wonka seems to always walk around with a blazer or tail coat on. Hey, if you have a top hat handy, why not be the quirky man with all the candy?
Old timey circuses always had a ring master in a red blazer or red tail coat. There is no exception, as far as every animated and live action movie has shown. If you have a red blazer, this is THE costume that’s perfect for you!
Who doesn’t love Mary Poppins? She’s magical, strict yet fair, and introduces children to talking inanimate objects. Her look is easy enough to pull off if you have a black hat, bobby pins to do your hair up, black skirt and tights, red bow tie, white button up shirt, and either a tapestry bag or a parrot umbrella. Bonus points if you put daisy hair clips on the hat, but it’s not required.
Dressing as a dementor from the world of Harry Potter requires wearing all black clothes, a long black coat on top of you, and a black scarf or pillow case over your head and face to look suitably inhuman.
Paddington bear is one of the easiest outfits out there. If you have a navy colored long coat-a trench coat, a toggle coat, basically any non-puffy coat will do-a red hat, and tan colored pants, then you are the bear.
I always have a pair of khakis and a red knit hat for Winter, so this is an easy DIY to do for me. Hopefully you can do it too!
Of course, fur costumes can be made with faux or authentic fur. Don’t rule these costumes out just because they are fur!
The cat in the hat requires wearing white gloves, and a white fuzzy sweater with a black furry jacket open on top of it and plain black pants. If you have dark furry boots or shoes that would be a cool bonus, but it’s not a requirement.
Along with the hat! Do your best to get your hands on a white and red striped hat to get the full authentic look. You could even diy a top hat out of carboard and ribbon or duct tape, or strips of colored paper and tape– there’s lots of options!
A black dress, white fur coat, red shoes, and duo tone hair are all you need to pull this costume off! Even if you don’t have a white and black hair wig ready to go, you could use temporary hair dye or even go super budget friendly and use white craft paint directly on your hair to get a similar effect.
If you have the glow paint and black mask this would be a super creepy diy costume!
Don’t happen to have a red cape on hand? Same. I wish I had one, but because capes aren’t the fashion du jour they cost a pretty penny online or in specialty places like Etsy. No problem though! Pick up a red hoodie, turn the sleeves inside and put them in a knot so they don’t show on the outside, and you have an easy diy red cape!
There have been a ton of modern zombie movies which feature the shambling undead in hoodies. You too can do the ultimate last minute costume of choice if you happen to have a hoodie lying around (who doesn’t?) and are willing to spend 10 minutes following a zombie makeup tutorial.
Halloween Costumes Can Be Warm, Green, and Still Give You Screams!
No matter how bad a procrastinator you are, or how cold Halloween will be this year, there is something out there you can wear that is warm and cute!

At Morgan & Justice in Columbus, our lawyers have over 50 years of experience assisting Ohio residents in seeking to secure benefits after an initial claim denial. If your application for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits is denied, we will serve as your trusted advocates through the appeals process.
If your application is denied, call our assertive attorneys at 800-948-6200 or 614-258-1133 to schedule a free case evaluation. We can still secure the Social Security Disability benefits you need.
Request for reconsideration: This is a document-only process in which the Social Security Administration is asked to reconsider their initial decision. There is no hearing. Like the initial application, this step frequently results in a denial.
Administrative law judge hearing: The second stage involves a hearing before an administrative law judge, vocational expert and medical professional. During this hearing, we can present evidence and question vocational and medical experts to support your claim. Our attorneys have achieved a great deal of success at this stage in the appeals process.
Appeals council: If the administrative law judge's decision is not favorable, we can request that it is reviewed by the Social Security Administration's Appeals Council. If the Appeals Council agrees with the administrative law judge's decision, it will deny the request. Otherwise, the Appeals Council may review the decision or it may send the claim back to the administrative law judge. We know how to carefully prepare Appeals Council review requests.
U.S. federal court: If the results are still not satisfactory after review by the Appeals Council, we may appeal the decision in federal court. With more than 50 years of combined experience, our lawyers are prepared for this high level of Social Security Disability appeals.
