In this Treatise on the Functional Pathology of the Musculoskeletal System (FPMSS), Dr Brooks presents a new paradigm for understanding the musculoskeletal system and a scientifically valid-reliable, semiquantifiable, and consistently interpretable-method for examining dysfunction thereof. This first volume presents the fundamentals of the paradigm and is designed for use by a primary care audience. While the paradigm is applicable to the wide variety of clinical conditions potentially amenable to manual medicine and related rehabilitative techniques, this first volume takes chronic, nonspecific musculoskeletal pain syndromes as its focus for application.The FPMSS paradigm complements orthopedic, rheumatologic, and neurologic understandings of the musculoskeletal system and contrasts with current models of manual medicine in several important respects:Understands the musculoskeletal system (MSS) as an integrated organ systemDiscriminates questions about physiology from questions about anatomyDiscriminates questions about pathology from questions about physiologyDifferentiates functional pathology from structural pathologyAppreciates principles of scientifically valid nomenclature for function and dysfunction of musculoskeletal structures as components of an integrated systemRecognizes dysfunction of the musculoskeletal system as inefficient functionShifts the emphasis of examination for dysfunction from malalignment of structure/posture to disturbance of systemic movementDiscriminates control of posture and movement from imbalance of available motionGrades available motion deficits using the criterion of proportionality-not merely symmetry-thus revealing otherwise unappreciated dysfunction and allowing for prioritization and profilingPrioritizes mobilization interventions according to specified, ranked criteriaProfiles an individual's motion phenotype based upon patterns of available motion deficits, thus providing "precision" biomechanical medicineUse of the FPMSS paradigm examination will reduce the incidence of false negative and false positive findings for MSS dysfunction-thus improving the effectiveness, safety, and efficiency of caring for those suffering from chronic musculoskeletal pain.

How far will a person persist in a lie? Is self-interest the only, over-riding issue in life? How pervasive are lies in our ordinary, daily lives? Achan's Disciple grapples with these questions and more as it follows the lives of two men bent on self-destruction, intent on gratifying their greed, and determined to cover it all with lies. Achan is a character in the Bible who lied about his theft and the reader is faced with the knowledge that one or both of them is his disciple. A pastor who is embezzling from his church and a cafe owner who is gambling away his future are on a collision course to ruin their lives. Will these two men resolve the messes they have created? Will they admit to the truth? Will they find redemption? Or will they lie to the bitter end?

This read-aloud book is about Kadek, who is a little boy living on a remote island in the Indonesian archipelago with his family and other villagers. His life is very different from how children live in the United States, or any other more developed country, yet, his life is full of adventures. In this adventure he didn't pay much attention to his father who was trying to keep him safe, and he learned that his father is a very wise man. We also learn of the interesting traditions sometimes practiced in Indonesia. The illustrations keep true to the traditional dress of the villagers and authentically depict the huts and the way of life on the islands.

This cookbook has been generations in the making. In the early 1970s, George Vespa had a dream of opening an Italian Restaurant in Lake Placid, NY. After hiring a chef from New York City''s Little Italy, the Villa Vespa got it''s start. Throughout the years, George made several trips to cooking schools in Europe, honing his kitchen skills and fine-tuning the recipes for the Villa Vespa. Throughout her young adult life, George''s daughter Kimberly worked alongside her father in the kitchen, learning the recipes and finding her own passion for food. After the Villa Vespa closed in 1997, Kimberly opened her own successful takeout Italian food shop with many of the recipes from the restaurant. In addition, she jarred and sold the Villa Vespa Marinara sauce by the caseloads all over the northeastern United States. The recipes that follow are from the kitchen at the Villa Vespa. They are classic Italian dishes made easy. Although the Villa Vespa is no longer open, now everyone can enjoy the food we''ve all come to love. May you use them to create great memories of your own.Salute,Kimberly
