[DAWN] THE killing of Mullah Akhtar Mansour signals a more aggressive US policy stance, as hopes of the Afghan Taliban coming to the negotiating table fade. The death of the recently elected Taliban leader, who had only just managed to consolidate his authority over the group, has given a new twist to the festering Afghan crisis. That the attack was carried out well inside Pakistain’s territory has worsened the predicament -- exposing Pakistain’s vulnerability in balancing an alliance with the United States with maintaining relations with the Afghan Taliban.
Authorised personally by President B.O., the strike marks the most significant American incursion into Pakistain since the 2011 US forces raid that killed the late Osama bin Laden ... who is now neither a strong horse nor a weak horse, but a dead horse... .

[Wash Times] A physical therapist at Ohio State University claims to have quite literally gotten to the bottom of the reason millions of Americans suffer from knee, hip and back pain. Who knew ?
Dr. Chris Kolba, a physical therapist at OSU’s Wexner Medical Center, said Monday that "dormant butt syndrome," or DBS, may be the cause for chronic pain, affecting a range of individuals from athletes to the infrequently active.
"It basically refers to the gluteus Maximus or the glute muscles just not functioning as efficiently as they should," Dr. Kolba explained in a video released this week by Wexner.
"The entire body works as a linked system, and a lot of times when people come in with knee or hip injuries, it’s actually because their butt isn’t strong enough," Dr. Kolbasaid in a statement. "The rear end should act as support for the entire body and as a shock absorber for stress during exercise. But if it’s too weak, other parts of the body take up the slack and often results in injury."
